I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3054: Chapter 3056: Intuition

The black giant lizards moved with incredible speed.

Like a black tide, they surged up the stairs toward the platform.

They didn’t even give the team time to react.

In the blink of an eye, three of them had already charged up.

In the pitch-black environment, everyone could only use spotlights to observe the giant lizards.

Standing in front of them now, the scene was even more shocking.

Each of the three giant lizards was nearly six meters long, their back skin like armor.

The granulated keratin bits were over ten centimeters long, like sharp swords embedded on their backs.

In such a dark environment, seeing these colossal black creatures was even more terrifying and oppressive.

Combined with the surrounding environment, it felt like being in a people-devouring hell.

Song Jinmin was the first to react, moving a boulder back into the groove to block the entrance of the passageway.

If they all got out, everyone from both teams would die inside.

But in just those ten seconds, two more had come out.

Hisssss—

At the moment Song Jinmin dropped the stone slab, one giant lizard was crushed halfway, thrashing and hissing in pain.

At this time, Lin Yi and Jiang Zhengnan, quick as could be, rushed forward.

Because the lizard was pinned by the slab, it became a lamb to the slaughter.

The two moved in perfect unison, aiming their daggers at the giant lizard’s head!

The sharp surgical knife pierced into the giant lizard’s head, but only a few centimeters deep before the hard skull stopped it.

Even so, it still damaged the giant lizard’s brain nerves.

It roared out in pain.

Lin Yi, quick-witted, gripped the giant lizard’s upper and lower jaws.

"Damn it!"

Lin Yi shouted, using all his strength.

But even then, he could only barely match the strength of the giant lizard, struggling to gain further ground.

For a moment, Song Jinmin saw the muscles in Lin Yi’s arms swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even at the C-level, achieving this level showed a talent surpassing that of Liang Xianghe in his prime.

Aah—

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, veins popping on his neck, squeezing out the last of his strength.

Crack!

The giant lizard’s jaws were ripped apart by Lin Yi, and after a few final struggles, it died in his hands.

On the other side, Jiang Zhengnan had also dealt with another one.

Although his weapon was far inferior to Lin Yi’s surgical knife, there was a strength gap between them.

It was relatively easier for him to kill that giant lizard.

Seeing this scene, everyone calculated in their minds.

Only reaching A-level would give the strength to contend with it.

This was a conservative estimate, as the slab’s suppression meant the giant lizard couldn’t resist, leading to its death.

Seeing their companions killed, the five giant lizards that had climbed up showed no reaction.

They lay quietly on the ground, unmoving.

Such behavior was in line with lizard habits.

Fierce yet calm.

Once they found an opportunity, they would launch a frenzy attack to bring a target to its end.

No one dared to be careless.

The people from Poker and Flame Dragon were all cautiously on guard.

In such an environment, they were extremely passive.

If the giant lizards attacked stealthily from the dark corners, even those at the A-level might suffer.

While both sides were in a stalemate, the giant lizards launched an assault.

Extremely fast, as if the ground itself trembled.

Meanwhile, Lin Jingzhan and Moon were the first to respond, charging toward two giant lizards.

Even though Lin Yi and Jiang Zhengnan spent great efforts to kill two giant lizards, in front of two S-Class experts, they didn’t create much waves.

But the others had a harder time dealing with them.

Even Song Jinmin could only fully suppress them, unable to kill them instantly.

The pitch-black cave became the best shelter.

The giant lizards’ intelligence was higher than imagined.

Avoiding the light as much as possible, they launched assaults from the darkness.

But the Poker team didn’t panic.

They quickly adjusted their positions, trying to illuminate every blind spot.

By comparison, Flame Dragon was a bit worse in coordination but still decent.

Aah—

A scream rang out!

A Poker member was attacked by a giant lizard, flung away by its hammer-like head.

Clutching their stomach in pain, they struggled to get up for a long time.

Though not in life-threatening danger, they’d need a while to recuperate.

On the other side, someone from Flame Dragon wasn’t so lucky either.

Another member got injured but was carried away by Lin Yi immediately.

After a brief chaos, the two teams coordinated more smoothly.

By then, Lin Jingzhan and Moon had already finished off two.

The remaining three were quickly felled by others’ encirclement.

"Finally got them killed," someone sighed.

"First get the injured out, the rest search again to ensure no important clues are left, then retreat."

After speaking, Lin Jingzhan looked at Jiang Zhengnan, "Captain Jiang, is this arrangement okay?"

"No problem," Jiang Zhengnan replied:

"The lower level can’t be explored now; we’ll talk later."

Lin Jingzhan nodded, and everyone followed his instructions to prepare for the final retreat.

After about half an hour of searching, the Flame Dragon team photographed and stored all information.

Jiang Zhengnan also divided a giant lizard’s body into several parts to bring back for study.

After completing the final inspections, everyone successively left the cave.

They prepared to rest and return next time.

The retreat was swift; within ten minutes, they’d exited the ruins.

The massive stone gate was sealed shut, and the pattern scrambled, with someone recording the route for easy reopening.

After dealing with everything, the teams left with the injured, heading outside.

"Captain Jiang, let’s schedule a time to come back," Lin Jingzhan said, "Arrange when convenient for you."

"In a month," Jiang Zhengnan thought for a moment before saying, "They’re quite badly injured."

"Alright." Lin Jingzhan nodded in agreement.

"Would a month’s delay give others a chance?" Lin Yi asked.

"No need to worry; we’re at least six months ahead progress-wise. Regular teams can’t reach this place," Song Jinmin replied with a smile:

"Even if capable, they might not find this hidden route."

"How did you find it?" Lin Yi asked:

"I remember this route isn’t on the deep route, like a blind cat finding a dead rat?"

"You’ll have to ask your dad about that."

Subconsciously, Lin Yi looked at Lin Jingzhan.

The latter shrugged, "Instinct."
