Chapter 6

The elite lizardmen are stronger beings among the lizardmen. Their strength has already reached the level of Black Iron Rank 1. With Jiang Feng's current strength, facing an elite lizardman head-on would be no different from suicide. Moreover, behind the elite lizardman, there might be other lizardmen.

Taking two steps back, the lizardman had already rushed over. Jiang Feng hurriedly kicked the corpse of a lizardman he had killed earlier towards the elite lizardman in front of him. The elite lizardman just swept it aside with its claws, sending the corpse flying to the side.

The space in the hallway was limited, and fighting the elite lizardman here gave Jiang Feng no chance of winning. He quickly ran into a room with an open door. As soon as he entered, the elite lizardman followed and struck his back. It almost hit Jiang Feng's back.

With the first strike failing, the elite lizardman caught up again, swinging its sharp claws and the knife in its hand at Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng couldn't block with the ice axe because he couldn't withstand the elite lizardman's strength.

Anything the elite lizardman hit, whether it was a TV, an air conditioner, or a table, was shattered in one hit. When the walls were clawed, deep scratches were left. If it hit Jiang Feng, it would either kill him outright or leave him half-dead.

While constantly dodging, Jiang Feng also took advantage of the elite lizardman's slower turning speed to attack it. However, at this moment, Jiang Feng had no chance to aim for the lizardman's neck. The ice axe hitting the lizardman's body caused no damage. Even with his current doubled physical strength, he couldn't break through the elite lizardman's scales.

After another ineffective ice axe strike, before Jiang Feng could dodge, the elite lizardman had already swung a backhand, directly sweeping Jiang Feng away.

After colliding with the wall, as soon as Jiang Feng landed, the lizardman followed up. A large foot aimed directly at Jiang Feng's head. With blood flowing from his mouth, Jiang Feng could only roll to the side in a hurry.

After three consecutive stomps, failing to hit Jiang Feng's head, the elite lizardman became extremely agitated. Both hands reached out to grab Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng could only keep rolling, looking for an opportunity to stand up.

When Jiang Feng collided with the sofa, the lizardman's hand came down towards him. Jiang Feng quickly hooked the back of the sofa with the ice axe. With a strong pull, he knocked the sofa over, blocking the lizardman's claws.

The elite lizardman's claws pierced through the sofa, almost touching Jiang Feng. The sofa was lifted by the elite lizardman. At this moment, Jiang Feng crawled to the side and stood up.

As soon as he stood up, the sofa was thrown at him. Dodging a bit too slowly, Jiang Feng's shoulder was hit. The elite lizardman quickly rushed to Jiang Feng, a claw aiming directly at his head.

With no way to avoid it, Jiang Feng raised his left hand to block the elite lizardman's claw with the ice axe, while his body moved to the right. At the same time, he swung the ice axe in his right hand towards the elite lizardman's neck.

With a crack, Jiang Feng's left hand dropped. His left shoulder was grazed by the lizardman's claw. The ice axe in his right hand finally pierced the elite lizardman's neck.

Despite the ice axe piercing its neck, the elite lizardman didn't die. Instead, it howled and stabbed at Jiang Feng with the knife in its hand. Jiang Feng could only tilt his head. The knife narrowly missed his head and stabbed into the wall. At this moment, the elite lizardman let go of the knife and swung a backhand at Jiang Feng. With no time to pull out the ice axe, Jiang Feng was hit squarely. His body flew sideways with the sound of bones breaking.

The ice axe, still attached to his wrist, cut a large gash in the elite lizardman's neck as it sprayed blood. Jiang Feng fell to the ground. The elite lizardman, one hand covering its bleeding neck, rushed towards Jiang Feng.

With multiple fractures, Jiang Feng struggled to stand up. As the lizardman approached, he bent down to dodge a palm strike and moved to the left. As he straightened up, the ice axe in his hand aimed for the lizardman's back of the head.

The elite lizardman, missing the palm strike, lost control of its body and leaned forward. At this moment, Jiang Feng struck the elite lizardman's head, piercing it.

As the 1.7-meter-tall elite lizardman fell, it pulled Jiang Feng down with it. At this moment, a sound came from the door. Jiang Feng, realizing the situation was bad, quickly looked towards the door.

"Quick, close the door," Jiang Feng said urgently when he saw a man appear at the door.

The man was the one he had seen in the hallway earlier. After being treated with a crystal, he had mostly recovered. Originally, he had wanted to help, but seeing Jiang Feng take down this larger lizardman, he quickly closed the door.

After taking a crystal, Jiang Feng quietly recovered his body while remaining alert to the man. The man did not approach Jiang Feng but leaned against the door.

After about a minute, Jiang Feng's body improved. He took another crystal to fully recover and pulled the ice axe out of the elite lizardman's head.

Once his body was mostly recovered, Jiang Feng extracted the crystal from the elite lizardman's body. The man at the door, seeing the crystal for the second time, was full of surprise.

The elite lizardman, a Black Iron Rank 1 monster, naturally had a Black Iron Rank 1 crystal. On this red crystal, there was an additional black circle, representing its rank. If it were Rank 2, 3, or higher, each higher rank would add another circle. A Black Iron Rank 9 crystal would have nine concentric circles and a dot. Beyond that, it would no longer be Black Iron but the next level, Bronze.

In addition to the Black Iron Rank 1 crystal, a card the size of a cigarette pack also appeared. Seeing this card, Jiang Feng's eyes lit up. This card was a good thing.

The edges of the card were decorated with small red flowers. In the center was a black shoe pattern. Jiang Feng knew that this pattern represented a pair of shoes sealed within the card. Below the shoes were two lines of small text, indicating that it was a Black Iron Rank 1 equipment that could increase movement speed by 10%.

A Black Iron Rank 1 crystal was equivalent to ten Black Iron Rank 0 crystals. With this crystal, Jiang Feng might be able to strengthen himself to Black Iron Rank 0. At that time, he could wear the shoes that increased his movement speed.

This type of card was another treasure found in the bodies of these alien monsters. It was called a Magic Card, one of the most important things in this era. In the future, people, in addition to strengthening themselves with crystals, would also use the equipment from the cards found in the monsters' bodies to arm themselves. The knife Jiang Feng had always wanted was also of this type.

Without rushing to take out the shoes, Jiang Feng put the card away and looked at the man at the door. The man was also looking at Jiang Feng.

"My name is Jiang Feng, and I came from upstairs. The small red ball you saw, I named it a crystal. I discovered it by chance after killing a lizardman. I found that it can not only strengthen the body but also heal injuries. As for that card, I suspect it's a magical thing, but I'm not sure what it does," Jiang Feng explained to the man, partly bluffing.

The man was somewhat confused. He said, "My name is Zhang Haitao, a retired soldier, and I used to be a security guard in this neighborhood. After the monsters appeared, I and a few colleagues hid in a resident's home. I was just trying to escape the building when I encountered the monster. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead. I really need to thank you."

Jiang Feng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to thank him. He began to consider whether to eat the Black Iron Rank 1 crystal now to strengthen himself further.
