Chapter 181 Escape from the Great Hall
The lizardman didn't take the fatty's attack seriously and didn't bother to block it.
Before the fatty could even touch the lizardman's body, he was bounced back by a strange force.
The spear slipped from his hand, and he fell from several meters in the air, crashing heavily to the ground.
Rou Yi, wielding a short blade, followed closely behind the fatty. When the fatty was repelled, Rou Yi immediately stepped in to fill the gap.
But the result was the same. Before Rou Yi could touch the lizardman's body, she was shaken off by a powerful force, falling heavily to the ground alongside the fatty.
Due to the special constitution of the fatty and Rou Yi, they didn't sustain serious injuries.
Rou Yi coughed twice and said to the fatty, "There's a force protecting the lizard..."
The fatty shook his head. When his attack was defused, he noticed the details of how he was knocked back and explained to Rou Yi, "We were knocked away, not because some force is protecting the lizardman, but because the lizardman is defending himself... Just as we got close, he kicked us away, but he kicked so fast you didn't notice."
Hearing the fatty's explanation, Rou Yi recalled the first time she saw the lizardman. At that time, the lizardman's golden robe was still intact, and he teleported in front of them in an instant, too fast for them to react.
Considering that, the fatty's claim about the lizardman's kicking speed was not hard to understand.
After the fatty and Rou Yi were knocked back, the white robes, who had been silent for a long time, finally stirred. They did not defect because the lizardman had occupied the orb.
The white robes hadn't directly attacked the lizardman before, but after soul-snatching and assimilating the Adepts, the original dozen or so white robes had now expanded to dozens.
The white robes were also moving extremely fast, and soon gathered on the platform below the orb. They looked up at the lizardman, who was lying on the orb absorbing energy, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The next second, several white robes soared into the air, attacking the lizardman.
The white robes' offensive methods were relatively simple, with only mental control.
The lizardman had been dealing with the white robes for many years and knew their methods well, so he naturally knew how to deal with them.
The lizardman closed his eyes, spun around, and moved with lightning speed. It was impossible to see his movements with the naked eye, but the white robes in the air were all knocked away. The lizardman even managed to rip off the white robes of a few of them using some unknown method.
Once the white robe was removed, the person underneath would die immediately.
The people whose white robes were removed were already dead when they hit the ground. Those who had not had their robes removed lay motionless on the ground, no different from the dead.
The first batch of white robes attacking the lizardman were defeated, and the second batch immediately surged forward to attack.
The lizardman didn't make any major defensive moves, but simply shifted his position and easily knocked down the second batch of white robes.
The lizardman was invincible in his battles with the fatty, Rou Yi, and the white robes, easily defusing any attack.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the fatty knew that if all the white robes were defeated, the lizardman would definitely turn around and deal with him.
Just as the fatty was racking his brains about what to do next, Dodge crawled up to the fatty, his face pale, and said, "Let's... run..."
Dodge gave his reasoning, "Look... that lizardman... his power near the orb... is increasing exponentially. While they're fighting each other... let's get... away from them..."
Dodge's words reminded the fatty that, combined with his previous observations, the fatty was certain that the lizardman's power came from the orb (meteorite). When the lizardman left a certain range of the orb, his power would dissipate.
It was best to leave the hall while the lizardman was dealing with the white robes.
Dealing with the Adepts outside the hall, who were no different from ordinary people, would be much easier than dealing with the lizardman.
The fatty turned his head and saw that the white robes were still attacking the lizardman one after another. He quickly got up, ran to Levan, who was still dazed, and carried him up. Then, with Rou Yi's help, he supported the seriously injured Dodge, and the four of them ran towards the entrance of the hall.
The series of cracking sounds behind them indicated the successive deaths of the white robes.
This battle, which had no suspense, forced the fatty and the others to flee the hall as quickly as possible.
A ray of sunlight outside the door signaled freedom from the dark hall. The fatty and the others staggered towards the light.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Each step forward meant escaping the terror of the meteorite under the lizardman's control.
The fatty even had a plan in mind. He would find a way to sneak into the depths of the Red Sea and find Jennifer. Whether she was alive or dead, he had to find her, and then find a way to deal with the lizardman.
If he was lucky, he might find some kind of power in the depths of the Red Sea that could restrain the lizardman. If the young master had predicted the current situation, there might be clues left by the young master outside the hall.
With each step he took, the fatty's belief grew stronger.
