Chapter 108 Gilaso

Shi Tian patiently waited by the sideline when Mary was seemingly focused on searching for some data on her watch.

Although he was waiting, his vigilance remained high, and had a pistol out, ready to shoot at any unidentified enemy.

They might be able to see the red dots or enemies on their watch, but that was only on the surface. If it was an enemy that could conceal themselves or hide underground, then they could avoid detection from the Iron Sentinel.

The ability of the Iron Sentinel might be amazing, but there was a limit to everything. Thus, one could never be relaxed when danger is literally lurking in every corner.

As he kept watch like a sentry, Mary finally found the information she needed.

“Nathan, tell me which lizard-type monster you encountered.” She then asked, revealing her watch that showcased different types of lizard monsters.

Shi Tian scanned through the list that she had shown him and pointed at one particular monster.

“Are you sure it’s this one?” Mary’s voice was slightly agitated when she saw the monster that Shi Tian had pointed to.

Shi Tian nodded his head.

With a resolute expression, he confirmed it and even described the appearance of the monster he had encountered.

“The lizard was a formidable monster and stood around eight feet tall. It had a muscular and compact body covered in rough, scaly skin that resembled the texture of a human’s armor.” Shi Tian explained, closing his eyes as he tried to recall more details of their appearance.

“Was the color the same as this picture, brownish?” Mary enquired.

“No, I don’t think it was a brownish color. I remember their scales were shades of dark green and some black on their legs. Though I could be wrong because some of them were quite camouflaged in color of the natural surroundings.”

“So their colors are different huh? Could there be other variants?” Mary mumbled, her brows knitted tightly.

Shaking her head, she urged Shi Tian to continue to describe the monster he encountered in precise detail. Even the tiniest detail must not be neglected and must be relayed to her.

She needed to confirm something before coming up with a conclusion.

Thus, Shi Tian was forced to describe the lizard monster despite not remembering much.

And according to his recollection, the head of the lizard monster was adorned with menacing horns that curved backward, adding to its aggressive and predatory aura. Its eyes are sharp and glowing, reflecting a vivid amber color, which grants it enhanced vision even in low-light conditions.

Its snout was elongated and equipped with rows of razor-sharp teeth, capable of tearing through flesh and bone with ease. Long, forked tongues flickered in and out as it sensed its environment, making it a formidable tracker.

“They were truly one sensitive monster that I can’t even attempt to sneak past them. I was forced to go to a direct confrontation with them, killing a few before eventually scaring the others to retreat.” Shi Tian said calmly.

He didn’t even omit the part where these lizard monsters were eating a human, which was the reason why he knew their teeth were razor-sharp. He recalled the flesh of the human was easily torn apart as they munched it joyfully.

Mary’s expression gradually darkened with time when she heard Shi Tian narrate his experience.

“How did you even manage to kill them, Nathan? And I want the exact details again.” She then asked, clearly curious as to how he achieved such a feat.

The creature’s limbs are sturdy and muscular, ending in sharp, clawed digits that allow it to swiftly traverse various terrains. Its tail was long and whip-like, acting as a powerful weapon to strike and immobilize its prey.

In addition to that, the lizard was covered in armored plating, and their tail could be swung with great force, capable of breaking bones and causing significant damage.

It was hard for her to imagine that Shi Tian was capable of killing even one of them, much less a few of them combined.

“Well, I used some Esper Special Bullets to shoot their heads.” Shi Tian scratched his head and said awkwardly.

There truly wasn’t any special method on how he killed them. It was just some firing of the bullet and done.

Meanwhile, Mary twitched her mouth and stared at him intensely. She was inspecting to see whether he was fooling her or not.

‘If the Gilaso lizard monster was that easy to apprehend, then why would so many people fall prey to them?’ Mary exclaimed inwardly.

The Gilaso lizard monster is a solitary creature that fiercely guards its territory. It is highly territorial and will aggressively defend its hunting grounds from intruders.

With its superior speed and agility, it could quickly close the distance between itself and its prey, launching swift and devastating attacks. Its keen sense of smell allowed it to detect the faintest scent of potential prey, making it a formidable predator in its domain.

Not to mention, the mutated Gilaso are extremely venomous, adding another extra layer of danger and difficult to fend against.

Encountering even a singular Gilaso monster would be a dangerous situation for anyone.

They would need to rely on their skill, strategy, and powerful weaponry to overcome these Gilaso monsters.

After all, their resilient nature and predatory instincts made it a challenging foe, given that they utilized both brute force and cunning tactics to secure its survival.

Thus, the problem now comes to how and what did Shi Tian do to overcome them and safely cross their territorial ground.

‘Was he playing the pig to eat the tiger this entire time?’ Mary was left aghast if that was the case. She couldn’t even fathom how dangerous Shi Tian would be if he was to harbor any evil intent toward her. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩

“Um, Mary, is something wrong?” Shi Tian asked innocently, seemingly curious as to why she remained silent for so long.

Alas, little did Shi Tian expect that his innocent concern seemed like a menacing predator to Mary at this moment.
