Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 58 Wetland Black Lizard, Rescuing People

With a "whoosh," Chen Hao slashed at the black-skinned lizard's body.

The incredibly tough lizard skin in Shen Mo's mouth was easily torn apart like paper by the Blood-Drinking Blade.

The blade sliced ​​through the lizard, cutting it in two.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 1-star common creature—the Wetland Black Lizard—and obtained two 1-star cards.]

The death of the wetland black lizard startled the other lizards that were feeding. They suddenly looked at Chen Hao, their blood-red pupils glowing in the dark corridor.

Hissing, the lizards made snake-like sounds as they charged toward Chen Hao.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Hao's eyes. He raised his knife and swung it several times, killing the giant lizards before they could even get close.

Then, Chen Hao began to clean up the snake and the giant toad.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 1-star common creature—the Wetland Poison Toad—and obtained a 1-star card.]

"Hmm? Toads are poisonous."

Chen Hao quickly said to the people behind him, "Be careful, toads are poisonous."

"clear."

Behind him, Kong Hao and the others responded.

There were quite a few large toads, but they were very easy to deal with. They would just lie there and occasionally jump around, making them no different from targets.

But those water snakes, wriggling and twisting, require a certain amount of reaction time to accurately strike their bodies.

After killing all the creatures on the third-floor stairwell, Chen Hao continued, "Kong Hao, take a few men and go to the third floor."

"be safe."

"clear."

Kong Hao shouted excitedly.

"You lot, come with me."

Kong Hao immediately named names, including the Zhou brothers, Wen and Wu.

The group of five, led by Kong Hao, entered the third floor.

"The rest of you, follow me downstairs."

At this point, only six people remained with Chen Hao, including Shen Mo.

They looked tense, holding weapons in one hand and torches in the other to provide light for Chen Hao.

On the stairs from the third floor to the second floor, there were all sorts of snakes, lizards, toads, and even more.

There are one or two of these on almost every step.

Chen Hao practically stepped over the corpses of these things as he walked down.

"Ah!" came a gasp from behind Chen Hao. Someone had slipped and rolled down the slope.

Just as it rolled next to Chen Hao, he caught it with lightning speed and held it firmly in place.

"How could you be so careless?"

Chen Hao shouted sternly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'll be more careful next time."

This person was one of Jiang Meiya's subordinates, and he looked visibly shaken.

Seeing this, Chen Hao did not continue to reprimand him, but released him and continued to slaughter the snakes, lizards and toads.

So far, Chen Hao hasn't encountered any particularly troublesome creatures; he's dealt with them all with a single strike.

He quickly made his way to the second-floor stairwell.

There weren't many creatures on the platform, because they either went upstairs or entered the second floor through the wide-open doors.

Compared to the bustling third and fourth floors, the second floor was very quiet, as if no one was there anymore.

Shen Mo noticed the situation, his expression changed, and a look of anxiety reappeared on his face.

"Mr. Chen, let's go in and rescue them quickly."

Chen Hao nodded and took the lead, walking inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw human corpses in the corridor, covered with snakes, lizards, toads, and a kind of water rat.

These creatures devoured the corpse beyond recognition.

On both sides of the corridor are rows of offices.

The office door was tightly closed, and it was unclear whether anyone was inside.

Is anyone still alive?

If you don't know, just ask.

Chen Hao's voice was very loud; his shout could be heard throughout the entire second floor.

His voice immediately triggered a chain reaction.

"I'm alive! I'm still alive! Big brother, please save me! There are so many snakes in our office! Waaaaah!"

In the end, she broke down in tears out of fear.

"Is this Mr. Chen? Have you come to rescue us? Thank you so much! Please hurry, a large lizard has come to our office. It has eaten several of us and seems to be full. It is resting by the door, and we are too scared to go out."

Another voice spoke.

Shen Mo recognized the voice immediately and asked, "Is that Li Chen?"

"It's me, Brother Shen."

Li Chen said excitedly.

"You said one of our people was eaten by a giant lizard. Who was killed?"

Shen Mo quickly pressed for more information.

Upon hearing this, Li Chen fell silent.

"It's Chen Rong, Zhao Xuexi, and Han Ye."

Another voice rang out; it was a woman's voice, trembling.

Upon hearing these three names, Shen Mo's face contorted in pain.

Two of them were members of his hunting party.

But he forced himself to suppress his pain and encouraged his men, saying, "Don't move around. Mr. Chen will be able to get you out soon."

"And I'm here too, and so are we."

Upon hearing this, people in other offices shouted in unison.

"Don't worry, we're all human, I won't abandon you."

"Now, all of you, be quiet."

Chen Hao said coldly.

Immediately, everyone quieted down.

Meanwhile, as the group was talking, the nearby creatures were disturbed.

Some of them gathered around.

But before they could get close, Chen Hao swiftly struck them down with his blade, killing them all.

Then, Chen Hao began to push forward.

Any creature that came near him was killed with a single blow.

Some of them bypassed Chen Hao and attacked the people behind him.

These people looked grim, their eyes filled with fear and anger.

Seeing the creature running towards him, he raised his weapon and smashed it down.

With Chen Hao blocking most of the creatures ahead, the remaining creatures posed little threat to them.

And so, Chen Hao quickly made his way to the door of Shen Mo's office.

The door is made of frosted tempered glass, so it's hard to see inside from the outside, but you can see a dark figure lying in the doorway.

It's very likely the giant lizard that Li Chen mentioned.

Chen Hao took a deep breath, took two steps back, and then suddenly kicked out.

He kicked a large hole directly into the tempered glass, and then the entire tempered glass shattered into small fragments, which fell to the ground and piled up on the large lizard near the gate.

The lizard, nearly three meters long, was startled by the commotion and suddenly lunged at Chen Hao behind it.

A gaping maw, full of fangs and filled with foul-smelling saliva and blood, lunged at Chen Hao's thigh.

The movements were so fast that ordinary people couldn't dodge them at all.

But Chen Hao is no ordinary person.

He snorted coldly, and his long sword transformed into a blur as he slashed fiercely at the giant lizard's gaping maw.

The moment the blade touched the fangs, the fangs snapped, the blade slid in, and instantly severed half of the giant lizard's head.

With a "thud," the giant lizard collapsed onto the floor, its limbs twitching and blood gushing out.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 1-star elite creature—the Wetland Black Lizard—and obtained four 1-star cards.]

This is clearly an upgraded version of the ordinary Wetland Black Lizard.

In the room, besides this giant black lizard, there were more than a dozen other black lizards that were over a meter long.

These wetland black lizards seemed to have eaten their fill and were lying on the ground.

Beside them were several mangled corpses and a dozen mutilated snake carcasses.

The people in the room stood on the desks piled up around them, huddled together, shivering.

When they saw Chen Hao displaying his great prowess, they cheered loudly.

The cheers startled the wetland black lizards that were lying on the ground.

Or rather, the commotion Chen Hao had just made had already woken them up.

Then, they immediately launched an attack on Chen Hao.

Chen Hao flicked the blood off his longsword and charged forward.
