Chapter 347: End of the Battle, Gaining Massive Productivity!
Boom!!
As the gunshot rang out, the beggar's head was blasted into pieces, and he collapsed onto the ground. The remaining three were so scared that they wet their pants, while Lin Yue calmly raised the MP5 again, firing bullets that harvested the lives of these criminals.
This series of attacks frightened the Lizardmen and beggars who had been clamoring just moments ago, causing them to retreat with shrieks.
Bai took the opportunity to stomp on the shell of the Turtle Crocodile and rushed into the crowd of gathered Lizardmen and beggars. With its sharp claws and teeth, alongside the Little Ice Lizards, it transformed the area into Abi Hell!
Lin Yue occasionally used the MP5 for precise shots, breaking the legs of Lizardmen and beggars either lying on the ground or hiding in corners, leaving them to be finished off by Bai and the Little Ice Lizards.
Soon the front line reached the entrance of the Ice Lizard Cave. After Bai cleared the enemies nearby and entered the cave, Lin Yue followed closely behind into the cave.
The path was narrow, and Bai kept turning enemies into corpses, forcing Lin Yue to tread on them to keep advancing.
The noise in his ear and the peculiar "Sa! Sa!" cries unique to the Lizardmen gradually thinned out, yet it was clear that there was still a considerable number in the large space inside.
Bai rushed into a space glowing with blue light, followed closely by Lin Yue, who found more Lizardmen and beggars gathered here, shouting and fighting all around. Surprisingly, their arrival hadn't drawn too much attention.
"Bai!"
"Gawoo!"
Lin Yue specifically targeted the beggars while Bai charged in a different direction. Xiao Liuzi and other Little Ice Lizards used their speed to slaughter the enemies here.
Under the pale blue glow, the numbers of Lizardmen and beggars kept decreasing, and with the final scream, the battle came to an end.
"It's finally over."
Lin Yue realized his role in this battle was merely to assist from behind Bai, using the Desert Eagle to take down a Turtle Crocodile, while the rest of the battle was handled by them.
But that was fine, as he'd been busy transporting things in the Secret Realm all day, and now he was indeed a bit tired.
"Puchi! Puchi!"
Hundreds of Little Ice Lizards rushed out from various corners, surrounding Lin Yue and Bai, seemingly quite joyful to see them. With no enemies and the crisis lifted, they returned to their cute forms, shedding their previous battle frenzy.
Looking at these little ones, Lin Yue took out all remaining bread and whatever else from the Storage Space, placing it on the ground for the Little Ice Lizards, who flocked over to start their long-awaited feast.
Bai chatted with these Little Ice Lizards one by one, and during this opportunity, Lin Yue returned to the corridor to begin cleaning the battlefield.
[You have gained 1 cubic meter of Storage Space]
[You have gained...]
Lin Yue was quite efficient at this task now. With quick yet careful searching, he soon collected all the light dots from the beggars in the corridor and inside and outside the Ice Lizard Cave into his pouch.
In the end, Lin Yue found his gains this time were quite substantial; he acquired 122 cubic meters of Storage Space, and unexpectedly, found 21 Shelter Design Maps on a beggar corpse clad in wooden armor, an unexpected delight.
The total storage capacity increased from 824 cubic meters to 946 cubic meters. The capacity expanded significantly!
He's one step closer to the small goal of reaching 1000 cubic meters of Storage Space.
Certainly, he collected all weapons and armor from the Lizardmen's corpses, even if their only use would be to exchange for survival points, it was still worthwhile.
It's better than leaving them here to be picked up by other Lizardmen or beggars.
Lin Yue also collected about 100 liters of blood and sweat from the Lizardmen as reserves. It would be foolish not to collect it now.
"Gawoo."
Bai's voice sounded from the cave side, and Lin Yue walked over again, though at this time, he realized he might have overlooked something.
With so many corpses piled here, when they start to rot...
Not to mention the smell, the various bacteria they would produce would be unbearable, wouldn't they? Even if you dragged them out to burn, it would be futile; there were too many fragments.
Moreover, Lin Yue noticed another issue.
The temperature inside the Ice Lizard Cave seemed to have risen considerably since last time.
It was probably influenced by the sudden temperature increase from the Underground Ruins...
Looking at the fluorescent moss walls, he found their brightness had faded, particularly the direction of the cave's upper roof, with nearly half already losing its luster, seemingly dead.
Are these things so sensitive to temperature?
If the temperature continues to rise in the coming days, could they all die?
Lin Yue didn't know how important this moss was to the Little Ice Lizards, but with the current increase in temperature, combined with the effect of those corpse fragments...
It seems the Little Ice Lizards might no longer be able to stay here.
"Gawoo." Bai pointed to the ground as its owner approached.
