Chapter 155: The Dragon Tooth Tribe
Under the pitch-black night, two dazzling streaks of light flew down at high speed, appearing above the Dragon Tooth Tribe in an instant.
They made the tribe, which had been shrouded in darkness, noticeably brighter, but it was already late at night, and the Lizardmen had long since fallen into a deep sleep.
The two guards were also dealt with by Su Kui Zhu Zhu at the first opportunity, which meant the entire Dragon Tooth Tribe failed to react immediately.
Mid-air.
Tang Zheng wore a "Night Vision" half-frame magic item over his left eye, looking down at the Lizardman tribe below.
According to Su Kui Zhu Zhu's tip, although the tribal chief held the highest status in the Lizardman tribe, the priest Lizardmen in the Council of Elders were the most noble.
Therefore, the places where they lived were mostly in the deepest part of the tribe, and the wooden houses they occupied were mostly more conspicuous than those of ordinary Lizardmen.
With the light emitted by the two Flame Archangels and the "Night Vision" effect of his magic item, Tang Zheng quickly locked onto several conspicuous wooden houses in the depths of the tribe.
With a thought in his mind.
The two Flame Archangels flapped their wings and attacked in the direction away from the wooden houses suspected to be occupied by the priest Lizardmen.
Without needing any overly complex movements, relying on the Flame Archangels' own defense and their diving speed, they easily smashed through two wooden houses.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud bangs echoed through the Dragon Tooth Tribe, instantly waking up most of the sleeping Lizardmen.
Especially the Lizardmen in the two smashed wooden houses; before they could even react to what had happened, light swords burning with flames and a sacred aura swung down.
Slashing the Lizardmen in the wooden houses to death!
Immediately after, the two Flame Archangels rushed toward the surrounding wooden houses to continue their attack.
A raid-like action!
It was even more successful than expected; in just two or three minutes, the Lizardmen in the several wooden houses had all been killed by the Flame Archangels.
In an instant, all the Lizardmen who rushed out were attracted to the scene.
"Really lax."
"It seems the portion of Lizardmen who escaped from the Small Tooth Tribe didn't come to the Dragon Tooth Tribe? Instead, they went to the stronger Green Claw Tribe."
Tang Zheng looked at the Dragon Tooth Tribe below, which had become noisy and chaotic and was only now fully reacting, and spoke softly.
In the Lizardman tribe, only the priest Lizardmen made Tang Zheng feel a bit of trouble.
Even if those ordinary Lizardman warriors were stronger, facing Flame Archangels that reached level 21 and were skilled in defense, they didn't actually pose much trouble.
It was nothing more than using their numerical advantage to kill the Flame Archangels.
After all, among the Lizardmen, the Lizardman warrior known for having the strongest strength, Zaryusu Shasha, the wielder of "Frost Pain," was only level 20.
The strength of ordinary Lizardman warriors was even lower, only around level 11 or 12, with an overall level similar to Ogres.
"It's the invaders!!"
"Those two monsters..."
"............"
"Help!"
The Lizardmen's terrified, chaotic, and various other sounds intertwined, echoing continuously throughout the entire tribe.
As the Lizardman warriors were attracted and gathered by the conspicuous two Flame Archangels, Su Kui Zhu Zhu and the Evil Spirit Dog, hidden in the shadows, also successfully infiltrated the tribe.
Heading straight for the two priest Lizardmen, their task was to capture one priest Lizardman alive, while the other could be killed.
Inside the Dragon Tooth Tribe.
"Go to hell, enemy!" A Lizardman warrior who rushed over holding a rugged greatsword roared as he charged forward, slashing fiercely at one of the Flame Archangels.
Clang!
The Flame Archangel swung the flame sword in its hand casually, colliding with the greatsword and sparking a burst of flames.
This Lizardman warrior was knocked back several steps by the force transmitted from the flame sword, stumbling to the ground, and just as the Flame Archangel prepared to slash this Lizardman warrior to death.
Whoosh—
A large net flew from the crowd, covering the Flame Archangel and pulling it tight.
"Pull!!" Several loud roars rang out, the ropes connected to the large net tightened, forcibly pulling the Flame Archangel down from the air.
Dense attacks fell rapidly.
As the Flame Archangel swung its flame sword to cut the net, it killed the nearest Lizardman warrior, only to be hit by the angry attacks of the remaining Lizardman warriors and dissipate into light spots.
The Lizardmen cheered, preparing to swarm the other Flame Archangel, but just at this moment, a streak of light fell from the sky again!
A brand-new Flame Archangel appeared before all the Lizardmen.
Making the cheering atmosphere pause involuntarily!
"From the start of the battle to the end, it lasted ten minutes; no, the real battle should have ended within five minutes."
Tang Zheng watched the Flame Archangel that had been dealt with, glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, and silently calculated the time in his heart.
The Flame Archangels were indeed not weak, but that was in a one-on-one situation; when the number of enemies increased, the Flame Archangels were not enough.
When it comes down to it!
Converting combat power, a Flame Archangel is just a level 21 warrior who can fly.
And this group of Lizardmen below, if converted into a human army, is completely at the level of an elite unit!
No!
Tang Zheng remembered that the "Warrior Group" formed by Gazef had an average level of only about 7, which already belonged to the elite in a human army.
And the average level of this group of Lizardman warriors was above level 10, plus the advantages of the demi-human race and their own thick skin structure, they must be fully armed elites at the very least.
"The advantages of the demi-human race are indeed incomparable to humans." After converting in his mind, Tang Zheng couldn't help but sigh again.
"Although the number of Lizardman warriors gathered below is large, in reality, no more than 10 should be able to engage in direct combat with the Flame Archangel."
"One Lizardman warrior is equivalent to two human elite soldiers, calculating this way... twenty human elite soldiers can deal with one Flame Archangel after suffering casualties."
Tang Zheng watched the scene below calmly.
Boom!
Another Flame Archangel perished.
Tang Zheng casually crushed a magic scroll, and a new Flame Archangel continued to join the battlefield.
"Compared to the Small Tooth Tribe, the battle of the Dragon Tooth Tribe is indeed more meaningful for reference." Tang Zheng observed the battle below seriously.
Since the two priest Lizardmen had not yet arrived, the situation like in the Small Tooth Tribe where they only controlled the Flame Archangel without destroying it naturally would not appear.
The reason why the Small Tooth Tribe collapsed so quickly was entirely because the chief was defeated and the priest was controlled by Tang Zheng, which led to most of the Lizardman warriors losing their will to fight.
Additionally.
That old priest Lizardman seemed to have anticipated the worst-case scenario long ago and had allowed a portion of the Lizardmen in the tribe to evacuate in advance.
In the entire Small Tooth Tribe, at least 1/3 of the Lizardmen escaped successfully. This situation was also related to the fact that Tang Zheng did not pursue them.
These old, weak, sick, and disabled were meant to be left for the future Great Tomb.
The battle of the Dragon Tooth Tribe began to fall into a stalemate.
An invisible panic spread among the Lizardmen; the Flame Archangels did not tire, did not fear, and did not even fear death.
But the Lizardmen did!
They spent a lot of effort and even sacrificed several companions to finally kill one Flame Archangel, only for another to reappear in the blink of an eye.
Up until now!
No one had figured out what these monsters with wings and armor were, or why they suddenly appeared in the tribe.
Additionally, some Lizardman warriors had already noticed something wrong; why hadn't the two priest elders appeared yet?
"Don't be afraid!!"
"The ancestors are watching us, kill!"
"Ooooooh!!"
Just as this panic atmosphere appeared, a Lizardman warrior roared, making all the Lizardmen feel a boost in spirit. Unfortunately, this uplifting emotion did not last long; as the Lizardman warrior slashed another Flame Archangel, he was panting heavily and looked exhausted.
A brilliant light fell from the sky again, and a brand-new Flame Archangel made a fresh appearance!
Despair~
Fear appeared in the pupils of many Lizardman warriors.
They were not afraid of powerful enemies, but facing unknown and unkillable enemies, even the strongest warriors would waver.
Just as this atmosphere dropped to freezing point!
"The chief is dead!"
"The priest is also dead—"
A terrified, wailing scream came from the depths of the tribe, making all the Lizardman warriors present tremble in their hearts.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Flame Archangels flapped their wings and rushed into the Lizardmen again to start slashing; the defensive line that had barely been maintained collapsed at this moment.
A Lizardman retreated in fear, instantly triggering a chain reaction, and the flight began.
Above.
"It seems it's over."
=9+Book_Bar
Tang Zheng watched the completely defeated Dragon Tooth Tribe below, put away the scroll he was holding, and raised his hands to rub his temples.
Eight Flame Archangels!
From the start of the battle until now, it had lasted a full hour, and Tang Zheng had consumed eight Third Rank "Angel Summoning" scrolls.
At first, this group of Lizardman warriors could coordinate perfectly and deal with one Flame Archangel in a short time, but as casualties increased.
This high-intensity battle could not be sustained, and until now, it had completely collapsed.
Early morning.
Deep in the Dragon Tooth Tribe.
The only survivor of the two priest Lizardmen brought Tang Zheng to a large jar that did not look conspicuous.
The height of the entire jar was over one meter, and the width of the mouth reached over 80 centimeters, containing a jar of wine that looked slightly turbid.
Tang Zheng showed an interested expression on his face, examining the large jar in front of him.
This was one of the four great treasures of the Lizardmen, the "Large Jar of Wine."
After examining it for a few moments, the exterior was indeed a bit ordinary, looking like it was made of pottery, but it was clearly not that material.
"Identify Item."
Tang Zheng cast magic on this large jar.
Item: Magic Item - Large Jar of Wine
Rank: High Rank (31-40)
Restriction: None
Effect: Can continuously produce wine.
Introduction: This is a magical jar that produces fine wine anytime and anywhere, though of course, only for certain races.
"It's actually a High Rank magic item." Tang Zheng was a bit surprised to see the information identified by the item.
He didn't expect that this large jar, which had neither attack ability nor auxiliary effects, would have such a high item rank.
Tang Zheng walked up curiously, scooped out a portion of the wine, and smelled it slightly.
A bit of fruit aroma.
He lowered his head and tasted a sip; it was a bit astringent and bitter, and the alcohol content was not high.
"Doesn't taste good." Tang Zheng gave an evaluation he considered relatively fair.
"Awooo." The Evil Spirit Dog sniffed its nose, curiously examining the wine, seemingly very interested.
Tang Zheng handed the remaining wine in his hand to the Evil Spirit Dog: "You want to taste it too?"
"Woo."
The Evil Spirit Dog responded, stuck out its tongue to taste a few sips, the bone chains on its body swayed slightly, and even its tail couldn't help but wag a few times.
"Looks like you like it." Tang Zheng was a bit surprised, then showed a smile and reached out to touch the large jar.
The "Large Jar of Wine" disappeared and was stored in the item box.
This item indeed had no help in combat, but if placed in a special scenario, it would have good use.
For example, in a desert where water is scarce, the "Large Jar of Wine" could be used as an infinite water bottle.
"Alright, now introduce all the magic knowledge in your tribe to me."
Having gained a good magic item, Tang Zheng showed a smile on his face and turned his head to speak to the priest Lizardman beside him.
The reason he spared the other's life was to learn from the other's mouth the magic knowledge passed down within the Dragon Tooth Tribe.
As the priest Lizardman began to introduce it.
Tang Zheng's face gradually showed a surprised expression; the magic knowledge in the other's tribe was far more than that of the Small Tooth Tribe.
This situation occurred.
It was also related to the Lizardman tribal war a few years ago; the Dragon Tooth Tribe, which did not participate in the war at that time, absorbed more than just the population of the two defeated Lizardman tribes.
"That's fine, just in time to wait for other Lizardman tribes to come here." After learning the vast amount of magic knowledge mastered by the other side, Tang Zheng knew that he would probably have to stay here for a while.
His gaze swept to the attribute panel.
【Experience Slot: 225775/70000】
The experience value had already reached over 220,000. According to Tang Zheng's calculation, based on the current increment of 10,000 per level, it would take 340,000 experience points to raise the "Magic Swordsman" to the full level of 5.
Now that he already had over 220,000, he was still about 110,000 short.
Upper Earth Month, October 12th.
Green Claw Tribe.
In a wooden house with a serious atmosphere, the entire room was filled with Lizardmen.
All five priest Lizardmen in the tribe were gathered, each with a solemn expression.
In addition, there was the hunting squad leader, Zaryusu Shasha, who held "Frost Pain," and the chief's older brother, Shasuryu Shasha, whose strength was not inferior to the other and who had also gone through several selections and won.
All the big figures in the entire tribe had already gathered in this wooden house.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit oppressive!
Even now, everyone still couldn't believe it.
The Small Tooth Tribe and the Dragon Tooth Tribe had actually been wiped out!
These were two tribes.
The Small Tooth Tribe, with its fragile strength, was one thing; it had suffered the greatest losses in the last tribal war and had not yet recovered.
But the Dragon Tooth Tribe had a full 120+ Lizardman warriors; in terms of the number of Lizardman warriors, it was on par with their Green Claw Tribe.
"Small Tooth Tribe, Dragon Tooth Tribe, have the tribesmen been arranged?" An oldest priest Lizardman took the lead to break this oppressive atmosphere.
