Gao Feng's determination made it hard for the others to say anything more.

Zhu Bin even felt a bit ashamed. At this critical moment, he wasn't as responsible and courageous as a child. He could only wave his hand and lead the others to step back.

A man named Zhang Yong stepped forward and said, "I have a gun here. You can use it."

The gun Zhang Yong handed over was also a laser pistol, but Gao Feng shook his head and said, "I'm not old enough to use a gun." At the age of seventeen, he was under the legal age. Generally, there was an identification system on pistols that would forcibly prohibit teenagers from using them.

In fact, the ferocity and horror of the lizardmen were far beyond the imagination of these employees. The fact that the big man could hold his ground against the lizardman also showed his great strength.

Gao Feng held his sword and quickly ran towards the lizardman. These lizardmen had lived underground for years. Their eyesight was poor, but their hearing and sense of smell were extremely sharp. They could even sense very slight temperature differences.

It was impossible to launch a sneak attack, so Gao Feng simply walked out in the open, which also gave the strong man a bit of confidence.

Zhou Lei was glad to see someone running over when he saw Gao Feng coming. But when he saw Gao Feng's rather immature face, his expression became even uglier.

"Kid, go back quickly. You can't help here. Hurry up and leave..." Although Zhou Lei admired Gao Feng's courage, he didn't want to drag him to his death. Zhou Lei sighed secretly in his heart. If only a companion could come to hold this monster back for a minute, he would be able to free his hands to kill it.

In front of the lizardman, normal people were as fragile as paper dolls. Even if there were ten or eight more teenagers like Gao Feng, they couldn't withstand the lizardman for a minute.

Gao Feng shouted, "Hold on! I'm coming!"

Zhou Lei could only smile bitterly. If Gao Feng didn't come, he could still hold on for a while. But now that Gao Feng was running over, he couldn't just watch Gao Feng go to his death.

"When I make a move later, you two should run quickly..." Zhou Lei didn't dare to turn around and could only loudly tell the mother and daughter behind him.

"Okay..." The wife behind him replied softly.

While they were talking, Gao Feng quickly passed through various obstacles and reached behind the lizardman. "Die!" Gao Feng shouted loudly. He stepped on a chair beside the pool and jumped up to stab the lizardman's back.

Zhou Lei didn't expect Gao Feng to be so foolish as to jump up and draw his sword. It was like courting death. He couldn't bear to watch Gao Feng die like this, so he hissed at his wife behind him, "Go quickly..."

As he spoke, the long sword in his hand turned into a cold light and stabbed straight at the lizardman's heart. With Zhou Lei's cultivation level, by mobilizing the blood and energy in his whole body, the sharpness of the sword blade was enough to pierce through the lizardman's thick skin.

The lizardman looked clumsy but actually had quite a bit of intelligence. After billions of years of evolutionary battles, it had its own judgment of living creatures: biological energy. In this regard, Gao Feng's energy reaction was hardly a threat. The really dangerous one was the big man in front of it.

Seeing Zhou Lei draw his sword, the lizardman suddenly turned around and swung its tail. Its thick tail, nearly two meters long, came whistling over.

Zhou Lei quickly bent down and rolled along the bottom of the pool. The water in the pool was shallow, but the splashing water still slowed down Zhou Lei's movements a little.

The lizardman's long tail brushed over the air above his back, scraping his back until it was bloody and mangled. The remaining force of the rotating tail didn't weaken and swept towards Gao Feng in mid-air.

As the lizardman rotated once, its tail also drew a circle. Starting from Zhou Lei and then reaching Gao Feng in mid-air, they were all within the range covered by the tail. The lizardman, which had fought in the underground world for countless years, had a very sharp intuition for battles.

Gao Feng was in mid-air and saw a black shadow coming with surging waves. Before the black shadow arrived, the whistling strong wind had already made it hard for him to breathe.

"Too weak!" Gao Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His current body was really too weak. A small lizardman like this was also a fatal threat to him.

However, in his memory, Gao Feng had killed thousands of lizardmen. He was extremely familiar with the lizardmen's fighting style. Jumping up high was to lure the lizardman to swing its tail.

Suddenly taking a deep breath, a divine light flashed in Gao Feng's eyes. The intangible spiritual thoughts that had been cultivated in his spiritual core for ten years stabbed like needles at three hidden acupoints in his lower abdomen. Stimulated by this, the blood and energy that had already been flowing rapidly in his body was like lit dynamite and exploded with a bang.

Outburst: It originated from the low-level combat skills of the imperial army. Theoretically, it could burst out up to ten times the power. In reality, limited by various conditions, it could only burst out two to five times the power.

Although it was a low-level skill, not many people could master the "Outburst" skillfully. For ordinary people, using spiritual thoughts to stimulate the instant explosion of blood and energy was a huge burden on the body and was very difficult to bear.

Moreover, the duration of the outburst was very short, at most five seconds. Ordinary people couldn't really grasp the timing of the outburst either. On the contrary, they were prone to defeat and death due to the side effects of the outburst. What's more, since it was a low-level skill, once the power exceeded level seven, this move would be useless.

Gao Feng's head felt swollen, and he felt as if he was about to be burst by the surging blood and energy. Although his body felt extremely strange, Gao Feng had been prepared for this in his heart.

The surging blood and energy also made his eyes bulge slightly. It was like looking at things through water, and the world distorted all of a sudden. However, the power of the outburst also made Gao Feng's senses sharper. In this state, Gao Feng could clearly see every movement and every tiny scale of the lizardman.

Suppressing the urge to roar loudly, Gao Feng stomped on the edge of the pool. With a bang, the special cement edge of the pool was cracked with many fine cracks.

With the help of this stomp, Gao Feng not only changed his direction but also increased his speed several times. Before the lizardman's tail swept over, he had already flown to the air behind it. With a slight movement of his eyes, Gao Feng had already found the scale that was slightly darker in color. With a flick of his wrist, the Si Feng Sword stabbed straight at the back of the lizardman's head.

On the other hand, under the stimulation of the burning pain, Zhou Lei's attention became extremely concentrated. After rolling around once, he also reached under the lizardman. He quickly straightened up and stabbed his sword diagonally at the lizardman's lower abdomen. The lizardman also had a reproductive system, and just like humans, this was its most fatal weakness.

The lizardman slightly opened its big mouth and exhaled a stench that almost made Zhou Lei faint. This wasn't its attack but just a way of showing its "smile". Unfortunately, its ugly and fierce lizard head could never show a smile that humans could understand.

Its huge claws suddenly reached down, and its long sharp claws were like ten sharp blades, grabbing onto the blade of the long sword.

Sparks were generated from the friction between the sword blade and the claws, but they couldn't resist the terrifying huge power of the lizardman at all. Zhou Lei was about to be grabbed to death by those long claws, and despair appeared in his eyes.

"Puff..."

A shining sword blade over a foot long suddenly stabbed out from the lizardman's wide-open mouth. Seriously injured by this, the lizardman's movements couldn't help but pause. Zhou Lei, who was an experienced fighter after all, quickly let go of the long sword and rolled to the side.

The lizardman swayed for a while and then suddenly fell into the pool, splashing up a huge wave of water. Its black and red blood slowly spread in the pool.

Zhou Lei, still in shock, looked at the dead lizardman and then at Gao Feng who landed on the other side. His mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say.

Everything in front of him made him feel as if he were in a dream and it wasn't real. It was the burning pain on his back that reminded Zhou Lei that this wasn't a dream, and it wasn't the time to be in a daze.

"Did you kill it?" Zhou Lei couldn't help but ask when he saw Gao Feng reaching out to pull out his sword.

Gao Feng's cheeks were as red as if they were dyed with blood, and his forehead was covered with sweat. The after-effects of the outburst made his hands and feet weak. Fortunately, he had practiced this skill to perfection and could control it freely. After the instant explosive strike, he immediately got out of the state of outburst.

He pulled out the Si Feng Sword with some effort a few times and grinned at Zhou Lei, "Although it seems a bit unbelievable, that's the truth."

Being able to kill the lizardman with one sword was really a matter of good luck. Gao Feng was in a very good mood. But these things were really hard to explain clearly, so he could only answer vaguely.

Having fought against the underground races many times, the members of the security team all knew that there was a nostril at the back of the lizardman's head, which was the weakest and most fatal weakness of its whole body.

However, this nostril was hidden under the scales. Without particularly experienced veterans, it was impossible to find it at all. Zhou Lei dared to say that no one in the base could stab the nostril at the back of the lizardman's head with one sword during a fight.

Zhou Lei didn't believe Gao Feng's explanation. This was definitely not just a matter of luck. Looking at Gao Feng's abnormally red cheeks, it was very likely that he had just used the "Outburst" skill. But the outburst time was so short, which was too strange. Moreover, the power of the outburst was so strong! It made it even harder for Zhou Lei to make a judgment.

A teenager without a light armor killed the lizardman with one sword. This in itself was an unbelievable miracle.

Gao Feng's smile had an extraordinary calmness, as if he had just stepped on a cockroach just now.

Zhou Lei wanted to ask further, but his wife and daughter, who hadn't run far away, ran back. Zhou Lei's back was bloody and mangled, which made his wife extremely distressed. "Zhou Lei, quickly bandage it up..."

"I'm okay." Zhou Lei also came to his senses. This wasn't the time to dig into the details. He quickly bowed to Gao Feng and said, "Little brother, you saved the lives of our family of three. I can't thank you enough. Zhou Lei will remember this kindness in his heart."

Zhou Xu, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl hiding in her mother's arms, was secretly looking at Gao Feng timidly. She had always thought that her father was the strongest man in the world. She didn't expect that there was someone even stronger than her father. Especially since this brother was only a few years older than her, which made her even more curious.

Gao Feng didn't notice the girl's eyes. He waved to the group of people hiding behind and signaled that there was no problem here. Then he said to Zhou Lei, "Let's talk about these things later. We need to get to the shelter in Area D as soon as possible."

Zhou Lei was also a straightforward person and didn't say those polite words anymore. Seeing the over a hundred people coming over, he nodded and said, "Yes, the monsters underground somehow got up here. It's safer to hide in the shelter first."

Gao Feng tried hard to turn the lizardman over. Its heavy body and long tail made it not easy to turn it over.

Zhou Lei quickly reached out to help when he saw this and said in surprise, "Do you want to take the crystal core?"

The heart of the lizardman was different from that of humans. It was a semi-crystallized hard core. It contained high-concentration life energy inside to support the huge body of the lizardman to move. This was also the result of the lizardman's unique evolutionary path after living underground for billions of years.

The crystal core contained strange energy that could be extracted by technical means and was very valuable.

Zhou Lei didn't expect Gao Feng to know about this, and he was surprised that Gao Feng still had the leisure to take the crystal core at this time. He really had a thick nerve.

Gao Feng took two breaths to stabilize himself and then raised his sword and slashed. The tough lizard skin was as fragile as paper and was cut open with a wound over a foot long.

Zhou Lei couldn't help but praise, "Good sword, good swordsmanship." Zhou Lei then noticed that the sword in Gao Feng's hand was clearly a Xuan Tie Tang Sword. And the movement of Gao Feng swinging his sword and slashing quickly was as standard as in a textbook, almost impeccable. Of course, being able to cut open the scaly skin so easily was also because the lizardman was dead and had lost its life energy, so the scaly skin had become soft and fragile.

Gao Feng reached into the lizardman's body, separated the firm muscles. The strange touch of touching the flesh made Gao Feng have an extremely strong urge to eat.

The ugly lizardman in front of him seemed to have turned into an attractive delicacy, and Gao Feng seemed to have been hungry for days, wishing he could eat the lizardman on the spot.

Relying on his extremely firm will, Gao Feng forcefully suppressed the sudden impulse and skillfully took out the crystal core. As soon as his hand left, that strong urge to eat quickly disappeared. Gao Feng knew something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was. Fortunately, he got the crystal core smoothly, and he could study this problem slowly when he had time later.

The crystal core was like a translucent egg. Its outer layer was a dark yellow crystal, and the inside was slightly red. The purer and more transparent the crystal core was, the better its quality. The one that Gao Feng got could only be considered average.

Zhou Lei watched from the side, and the look of doubt in his eyes became even stronger. The position of the lizardman's heart core was very hidden, and Gao Feng's skillful movements were as if he had taken it thousands of times.

In response to Zhou Lei's doubtful eyes, Gao Feng just smiled mysteriously. He couldn't say that he had killed tens of thousands of these things in his dreams and was already extremely proficient in this.

The crystal core could provide powerful life energy. Although taking it directly had great side effects, it could suppress pain and stimulate the potential in the body. Having a crystal core could save one's life at a critical moment. Putting the crystal core in his pocket, Gao Feng was secretly happy.

Taking the crystal core hardly took any time. When everyone gathered together, they couldn't help but praise Gao Feng again. Although they were at a distance, several bold ones had witnessed Gao Feng killing the lizardman with one sword.

"Little brother, you're really a genius..."

"A peerless genius."

"Mature and calm, a born leader!"

"Thanks to little brother, we can survive..."

The admiration and respect were like surging river water, endless. And it was completely from the heart.

Gao Feng didn't take it seriously, but it felt good to be praised. Besides, everyone was talking enthusiastically, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. It also prevented people from being nervous and panicking, which was a good thing.

Zhou Lei just silently followed Gao Feng, observing his every move.

People naturally had a herd mentality. Coupled with the large number of people in this group, they shouted as they walked along the way and took in the scattered people. Just like a snowball rolling, after passing two long streets, the number of people had increased to more than five hundred.

With so many people and without a strict organization, it was in a chaotic mess. They could only barely organize a group of people to cover the rear, with a group of people in the front and putting the elderly, women, and children in the middle.

Although there were more and more people, Gao Feng couldn't relax. The appearance of the lizardman meant that these powerful monsters had already broken into the base. The situation was very serious.

They could already see the huge glass pyramid of the Anfu Building, but Gao Feng vaguely smelled a bloody smell floating in the air. He became even more uneasy in his heart.

Suddenly, Zhou Lei grabbed Gao Feng and said, "Wait a minute. There's danger ahead..."
