Just as the giant lizard was about to swallow Huang Qing alive, a gunshot shattered the existing calm.
Being ambushed from behind made the giant lizard furious. Although the bullets felt like tickles against its body, being tickled while eating was an extremely unpleasant sensation.
It was her patrol team members who rushed in to save Huang Qing. In fact, the team members had sensed something was wrong the moment the gunshot rang out, and they all charged in with their guns.
Fortunately, they arrived in time; otherwise, their captain would have been swallowed alive.
"Captain, we're here to save you."
One team member wildly fired his gun, but before he could enjoy it, the giant lizard charged towards him.
The giant lizard was extremely fast, and before the team members could dodge in time, they were swallowed into its mouth.
The giant lizard didn't even bother to chew; it simply swallowed them in one gulp.
Such a scene directly shocked everyone.
Having tasted the fresh meat, the giant lizard lunged at the crowd again.
The scene immediately descended into chaos as everyone dodged and counterattacked.
However, with the delay caused by these team members, Huang Qing and Zhao Yu were much safer.
"Let's go, we need to leave here."
Zhao Yu grabbed Huang Qing's hand, intending to lead her away. If this went on any longer, everyone would be doomed.
However, Huang Qing flung Zhao Yu's large hand away, saying, "My team members are all here. I don't want to see them die alive. Even if I have to die, I'll die here."
"No, this giant lizard is not something we can deal with. We must go out quickly to get reinforcements, otherwise, everyone will be doomed!"
Zhao Yu could no longer afford to be polite. One had to survive first before doing anything else.
"If you want to go, you go yourself."
Huang Qing didn't waste any more words with Zhao Yu and quickly reloaded her gun, continuing to spray bullets at the giant lizard.
Seeing Huang Qing's persistence, Zhao Yu's expression changed.
No matter how capable Zhao Yu was, he couldn't stop Huang Qing from seeking death. Although Huang Qing was very beautiful and came from a good family, Zhao Yu wouldn't be foolish enough to follow her to her death.
"Hmph, you are all seeking your own demise."
After saying that, Zhao Yu headed for the exit on his own. With these people delaying the lizard, Zhao Yu was confident he could escape.
Zhao Yu's escape startled everyone. If Zhao Yu had stayed to help, they might have had a chance to survive.
After all, a fourth-level martial artist, while unable to suppress the giant lizard, could at least buy them time to escape.
With Zhao Yu gone, everyone was like fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of the enemy!
However, everyone underestimated the intelligence of this giant lizard. Seeing Zhao Yu trying to escape, the lizard immediately pounced on him.
After all, Zhao Yu was a fourth-level martial artist. If it ate him, the giant lizard might even evolve. Ordinary people were just filling its stomach, but eating a martial artist was like eating seafood.
Zhao Yu hadn't expected the giant lizard to fixate on him. With no other choice, he had to continuously engage the lizard.
"Quick, support Captain Zhao."
Although Zhao Yu's escape had chilled everyone earlier, they all knew that this was the only time they could inflict damage on the giant lizard. If the lizard ate Zhao Yu, the rest of them would surely die.
With no other option, the two groups cooperated again.
At the entrance of the cave, Qin Hui stood there, stroking his chin and considering whether to go in.
The sounds of battle from inside the cave had not escaped Qin Hui's ears, but for safety reasons, Qin Hui decided to enter later.
After all, whatever happened inside had nothing to do with Qin Hui. Qin Hui only needed to wait for the opportune moment to reap the benefits.
Of course, Qin Hui had also prepared for the worst-case scenario.
The two groups had been fighting the giant lizard for nearly half an hour, and both sides were almost exhausted.
On Huang Qing's side, only Zhao Yu and one team member survived. The other team members had been killed by the giant lizard.
The giant lizard was not faring much better. Although their attacks felt like tickles, repeated tickles could also cause bleeding.
The giant lizard gripped the ground tightly with its four limbs, its single eye staring at Huang Qing and the others. Its other eye had been injured in the previous battle.
Looking at the lizard's scarlet tongue, Zhao Yu knew it was preparing for a desperate final struggle.
After all, such giant lizards were naturally immensely strong, and they had a physical advantage. Even if they fought to the end, everyone would likely be swallowed whole.
At this moment, Zhao Yu had to think about his own life. Although Zhao Yu was excellent in all aspects, it was normal for people to be selfish in the face of death.
While Huang Qing and the others were catching their breath, Zhao Yu had already devised a plan to escape.
"Later, we will attack from both sides. This giant lizard is almost defeated."
Zhao Yu commanded.
The others didn't speak, they just nodded because they were too exhausted to speak.
Ten seconds later, Zhao Yu launched his attack directly at the giant lizard, punching towards its head.
Huang Qing and her team members attacked from the other side, forming a pincer movement that prevented the giant lizard from defending itself on both sides.
However, just as Huang Qing was about to succeed, Zhao Yu suddenly changed his attack, turning his fist towards the exit and fleeing desperately. He was confident that with Huang Qing distracting the giant lizard, he would definitely be able to escape alive.
Huang Qing was stunned. She hadn't expected Zhao Yu to run at such a crucial moment.
The team member who was a beat slower than Huang Qing offered no resistance and was immediately swallowed whole by the giant lizard.
The giant lizard swallowed, and a living person was gone.
Seeing this, Huang Qing's face turned ashen, and she collapsed onto the ground.
At this moment, Huang Qing's mind went blank, leaving no room for thought.
The giant lizard no longer bothered to chase Zhao Yu, as Zhao Yu was simply too fast.
Since it couldn't get the delicious meal, it would make do with this delicate beauty.
Seeing the giant lizard approaching her step by step, Huang Qing immediately gave up resisting, knowing that any further resistance would be futile as she was no match for the giant lizard.
However, Huang Qing harbored hatred in her heart, hating Zhao Yu's inaction which led to her team members dying here.
Unfortunately, Huang Qing's hatred could not prevent her from being swallowed alive by the giant lizard.
When the giant lizard was still three steps away from Huang Qing, it abruptly stopped.
A strong sense of danger permeated the surroundings, causing the giant lizard to tremble.
"Captain Huang, don't give up! You haven't caught me yet. Although Zhao Yu is unreliable, I am absolutely dependable."
Qin Hui grinned and appeared behind the giant lizard.
Qin Hui had seen Zhao Yu fleeing earlier, but Zhao Yu was too focused on escaping to notice Qin Hui.
After all, when a person panics, their brain becomes highly tense.
Zhao Yu was currently crawling at the cave entrance. How could Qin Hui let him go?
