Universe Infinite Canteen

Boggy, through her binoculars, saw eight people, two of whom were already lying down—not dead, one with an abdominal injury wrapped in bandages, still seeping blood.

Another had a broken leg and had passed out, but his chest was still heaving.

Of the remaining six, four were joining forces to deal with a giant lizard over ten meters in size, and two were trying to lure another slightly smaller giant lizard away.

Based on the situation observed, there wasn't much discrepancy with the regional broadcast.

But Boggy still did not lower her guard, and swept the surroundings twice more with her binoculars. Not seeing any suspicious individuals, she then jumped down from the sand dune.

"Rescue."

As she uttered these two words, the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group immediately sprang into action.

The people in the distance had also noticed the commotion here, their faces showing signs of joy, but their eyes also held a touch of wariness.

The first to speak was a man with a beard, "Which hunting group are you from?"

As soon as he spoke, Ma Lu identified the voice as the one from the earlier broadcast—it must be Hogg, the deputy leader of the Skyline Hunting Group, he thought.

"We're from the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group, I'm the leader, Boggy," said Boggy, introducing herself, "We received your regional broadcast and happened to be nearby, so we rushed over."

"The Twin Sunflower Hunting Group?" Hogg was taken aback.

"We were just established two weeks ago, you might not have heard of us..."

"No, I know you," Hogg said, "You've been quite famous in town recently, and I've known your name for a long time. Your father was the former leader of the Harpists, Li." Your source is m-vl|em|p,yr

By the end of the conversation, his expression softened considerably, and it seemed he wanted to chat about his relationship with Li, but urgent calls from his teammates interrupted from behind.

"Deputy leader!"

Hogg and another person had been sparring with a Lava Giant Lizard, but within the span of their short conversation, his teammate was almost unable to hold on any longer.

Hogg hurried towards the other side, running and continuing, "Have you dealt with a Lava Giant Lizard before?"

"No," replied Boggy, following behind him.

"Be careful of the lava they spit out from their mouths, and the scales on their skin are tough. Ordinary weapons have difficulty causing them harm... and they move quickly, with excellent vision..."

Boggy had seen all these things in textbooks, but she didn't interrupt Hogg. Mainly, she wanted the others, especially Ma Lu, to hear him out.

Mai Mai's hand was on her backpack, ready to act. Against such large creatures with exceptional defensive power, it was time for her telekinetic ability, Electric Field, to come into play.

However, she was suddenly held back by another hand.

Turning around, Mai Mai saw it was Ma Lu.

"Don't rush, let's try my method first."

Mai Mai's ability was mighty, but she could only use it once during a hunt and would be paralyzed after its use.

It wouldn't be as much of a concern if it were just their own people, but with another hunting group around, it would be best to not expend this strategic weapon so soon.

Moreover, Ma Lu's new style had just been perfected, and he was eager to test the power of its finished form.

Boggy said to Hogg, "Leave this Lava Giant Lizard to us. You can go help the others over there."

```

Hogg was momentarily taken aback again.

"Is there a problem?" Boggy had already drawn his Mechanical Spear.

"Ah, I have no objections, but there are only five of you..." Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Seta create a Sand Soil Puppet and charge toward the Lava Giant Lizard.

However, in front of the robust body of the Lava Giant Lizard, the over two-meter-tall Sand Soil Puppet seemed quite diminutive.

Still, its charge succeeded in drawing the Lava Giant Lizard's attention, causing the latter to turn its head.

Seta often relied on this tactic to make the Sand Soil Puppet attract aggro, making it easier for himself and his teammates to launch attacks from behind.

But this time, he miscalculated.

The Lava Giant Lizard merely glanced at the Sand Soil Puppet before its gaze shifted past the large figure, landing on the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group.

Huh?

Boggy reacted the fastest, instantly creating seven Water Shields, then charging forward with his Mechanical Spear. Yet, he could only slightly hinder the Lava Giant Lizard before being forced to dodge by its tail.

Right after that, Sadie fired nearly fifty Thorns at the Lava Giant Lizard's eyes, but the creature simply closed its eyelids and blocked all the Thorns.

Facing the onrushing Lava Giant Lizard, Sadie also had to roll to the side to avoid it.

Ma Lu and Mai Mai, the pair of spectators from the group, exchanged glances before both ran towards their respective motorcycles.

Because Mai Mai was carrying a huge battery pack on her back, she ran slowly, ready to be caught by the Lava Giant Lizard, while Boggy and Seta followed close behind, rushing toward her.

However, halfway there, Mai Mai stopped in her tracks because she realized that the Lava Giant Lizard was not paying attention to her slow movement. Instead, it pounced towards Ma Lu, who was running the fastest.

Luckily, Ma Lu always valued his life and hadn't turned off the motorcycle's power, so he leaped onto the vehicle with the speed of a 100-meter sprint and then twisted the throttle.

The motorcycle accelerated fiercely, but the Lava Giant Lizard's speed wasn't slow either, doggedly following behind, its four gigantic palms scratching rapidly through the sand.

It soon caught up. Ma Lu quickly drew his Hand Crossbow, not bothering to aim, and fired randomly.

One of the arrows activated the [Headshot] effect and hit the Lava Giant Lizard's head, but it bounced off the scales.

However, that insignificant arrow made the Lava Giant Lizard's body stiffen.

Ma Lu had a stroke of enormous luck, as not only did [Headshot] activate, but it also triggered another Blue Blessings.

[Petrification Arrow: When a team member lands a ranged attack on the target, there is a 15% chance to petrify the target for 0.3 seconds. A petrified target cannot move, but its defensive power is doubled.]

This rare control-type blessing, although not as powerful as the [Turn in Circles] they had experienced earlier, was appealing because of its low threshold, and Ma Lu had casually taken it when he saw it.

Although 0.3 seconds of control time was short, being suddenly frozen in place would, after regaining their senses, typically leave one dazed for a moment, wondering why they couldn't move.

Ma Lu took the opportunity to turn the motorcycle around and came back.

He needed Seta or Boggy to take over the aggro from that thing behind him; as a merciless blessing applicator, he couldn't perform the duties of a tank warrior.

Yet, having barely made it back to Seta's Sand Soil Puppet, the latter was again disregarded by the Lava Giant Lizard.

With a swipe of its paw, the Lava Giant Lizard knocked the Sand Soil Puppet aside and continued its pursuit of Ma Lu.
