Chapter 156: Not a Matter for One Tribe, Cave Lizardmen? Peering from the Shadows

The oldest Priest Lizardman spoke, dispersing the oppressive atmosphere in the wooden house somewhat.

Shasuryu Zaryusu Shasha remained silent; he knew that even as the tribal chief, in such a special situation, it was easier for the old priest of the Council of Elders to stabilize people's hearts by speaking.

"Settled, settled."

A black-skinned Lizardman warrior sitting in the corner of the wooden house raised his head subconsciously and stammered: "The number of people who fled from the Small Tooth Tribe is 50."

"Among them are 30 female Lizardmen, 15 children, and five older male Lizardmen."

"Those who fled from the Dragon Tooth Tribe are being received one after another, and it hasn't been counted yet."

This Lizardman warrior was still somewhat nervous when he first started speaking, but as he spoke more and more smoothly, there was even a hint of excitement in his tone.

The Lizardmen present naturally knew the reason.

Because those who fled were basically female Lizardmen from the two major tribes, and there were pitifully few male Lizardmen.

To ordinary Lizardmen, this was a good thing, but in the eyes of everyone, it revealed very terrifying information.

"This is not normal." The hunting chief Lizardman said in a rough voice, buzzing.

Of course, this was not normal!

Zaryusu Zaryusu Shasha shifted his thigh as he sat on the ground, the scales colliding with the weapon hanging at his waist, making a "clatter" sound.

A cold chill came, making him pause his movement to speak and suppressing the irritability in his heart.

That was a pale weapon, emitting a faint light, like a combination of a sharp blade and a trident, which was the treasure of their Lizardman race, "Frozen Fang."

"No matter what the situation is, women and children are always the easiest to be killed."

As the tribal chief, Shasuryu Zaryusu Shasha used his thick tail to support the ground, straightened his upper body, and paused briefly: "At least those strong Lizardman warriors should have been easier to escape, but they didn't!"

"The other party really showed 'mercy'—"

Speaking the four words "showed mercy."

Shasuryu Zaryusu Shasha clenched his fists; while angry, an inexplicable chill surged deep in his heart.

From the current situation, all the Lizardman warriors of the two major tribes should have all died in battle, and there was only one possibility for this strange situation.

That was that the mysterious human was stronger than described in the intelligence, precise to the point that not a single Lizardman warrior escaped.

To the extent that he "showed kindness" and let go of the weak women and children.

Showing off strength?

Or not caring at all?

No matter what it was, it was not good news for them.

"The other party should be a caster who uses Third Rank magic. They can summon two angel monsters in one breath." A Priest Lizardman added, his voice trembling.

Among the priests present, the strongest old Priest Lizardman only possessed the strength of the Second Rank.

"In the currently known intelligence, the other party only displayed this one ability; it is very likely that there are other unknown means."

Another Priest Lizardman spoke: "Especially the people from the Dragon Tooth Tribe mentioned that their tribe's warriors continuously killed several angel monsters, yet they were still defeated by the continuously replenished angel monsters."

"It is speculated that the human possesses relatively vast magic power."

With one piece of intelligence after another thrown out, the panic about the unknown also disappeared a lot.

Seeing this, the old Priest Lizardman said softly: "The other party is only one person after all; although a caster who uses Third Rank magic is powerful, it is not impossible to deal with."

"The Small Tooth Tribe and the Dragon Tooth Tribe had no intelligence and collapsed quickly under a sneak attack; now that we have the other party's intelligence, making countermeasures is not difficult."

After these words were finished.

Before everyone could be happy, Zaryusu Zaryusu Shasha, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Precisely because the other party is only one person, is it possible that the other party is stronger than the intelligence currently displayed?"

The atmosphere stiffened!

"It's not your turn, a traveler, to speak here!" The burly hunting chief Lizardman looked at the other party with dissatisfaction and spoke almost roaring.

"I am speaking of speculation." Zaryusu Zaryusu Shasha was expressionless.

"So—even if they are stronger, are you going to run away!" The hunting chief Lizardman glared.

"Are you an idiot? If the other party's strength is stronger, the existing countermeasures may not work; we must make more proper preparations."

"The Zhu Tong and Rui Wei tribes also need to be notified together; we must ensure that the human is killed, rather than letting them escape due to negligence!"

Zaryusu Zaryusu Shasha responded loudly.

"Enough!!"

The old Priest Lizardman looked at the two who were still arguing and shouted angrily.

The room went quiet.

"Tribal chief, what is your view?" The old Priest Lizardman looked at Shasuryu Zaryusu Shasha.

"Zaryusu is right; the other party is only one person, and once they escape, it will be a real disaster. We must ensure that we solve the other party in one breath."

Shasuryu Zaryusu Shasha raised his head and spoke seriously: "This is not a matter for one tribe of ours."

As the matter was settled.

The entire Green Claw Tribe began to mobilize, and two Lizardman squads went toward the Zhu Tong Tribe and the Rui Wei Tribe respectively.

This time, it concerned the destruction of two major tribes; no matter how stiff the relationship between the tribes was, in the current situation, the high-level officials of the tribe knew what to do.

On one hand, the Green Claw Tribe mobilized all Lizardman warriors to be on alert day and night to guard against the human's surprise attack.

On the other hand, they sent the hunting squad to carefully go to the destroyed Dragon Tooth Tribe to investigate news.

The personnel of the three major tribes began to gather.

In this chaotic situation, inside the Green Claw Tribe.

A Lizardman who looked somewhat thin, carrying a fish basket, greeted the patrolling Lizardman warriors on the street from time to time and walked toward the outside of the village.

The current situation was not suitable for leaving the tribe.

However!

For Lizardmen who liked to eat raw food and pursued fresh fish, obtaining food was also a major event.

Fortunately, the tribe was built near a lake.

This Lizardman quickly arrived in front of the nearby lake, quickly observed that there were no other Lizardmen around, and with a "splash," this Lizardman jumped into the lake.

The black silhouette swam rapidly in the lake, heading toward the depths. When this Lizardman swam out of the lake again, the originally sturdy body began to narrow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The rough black scales on the forehead began to shrink, and thorn-like objects emerged.

In just the blink of an eye!

This Lizardman had shrunk by half; from a distance, it looked like a miniature version of a Lizardman.

No!

The other party was not a Lizardman at all, but a Cave Lizardman, a rare species living in the depths of the Great Wetland's Upper Lake area.

The thorn-like objects on the head were the proof.

This Cave Lizardman raised a palm with slender, sharp nails, on which a ring emitting a ghostly black light was worn.

This was a magic item!

It was precisely by relying on these magic items that he could disguise himself as a Lizardman and live in the other party's tribe.

"A bunch of simple-minded idiots, the Lower Lake Wetland should belong to us to rule."

The Cave Lizardman mocked in a low, hoarse voice, with a certain hope in his eyes, carefully observed the surroundings, and quickly advanced toward the depths of the Upper Lake.

Compared to the Lower Lake Wetland, which had a suitable and safe environment, the Upper Lake Wetland contained a large number of dangerous magical beasts, as well as Frogmen that also made him feel disgusted.

Soon.

=9+Shu_Ba

The Cave Lizardman passed by the periphery of a Frogman territory and immediately saw Frogmen that were similar in size to Lizardmen.

The other party was lazily lying in the mud, rolling a few times from time to time, and not far away were several other Frogmen doing the same movements.

These Frogmen clearly discovered the Cave Lizardman immediately, but after just one glance, they lazily retracted their gaze, not caring at all.

"Damn it!"

The Cave Lizardman cursed in his heart, but acted very cautiously as he quickly passed through this area, not daring to have any contact with any Frogmen.

Unlike the very xenophobic and rigid Lizardmen, Frogmen were not xenophobic, and they would not show too much hostility to passing beasts, magical beasts, or other creatures.

Are Frogmen friendly?

No!

This was a group of guys who were even more cold-blooded than the rigid Lizardmen.

These Frogmen seemed friendly, but in reality, their race was born without any concept of rank, and there was no concept of friendliness at all.

They were just not hungry right now!

Of course, the premise was that the creatures passing through their territory did not pose a threat; otherwise, these Frogmen would also take crazy actions immediately.

Whether it was Lizardmen or Frogmen, in the eyes of the Cave Lizardman, they were all idiots; clearly they were so smart, yet they occupied the smallest territory.

The wetland jungle environment in the depths began to become complex.

And the Cave Lizardman, on the contrary, moved forward very skillfully and quickly arrived at a place covered in strange vines and moss, hidden in faint thick fog.

Located deep in the forest, in front of an abandoned ancient castle about three stories high.

Arriving here!

A look of awe immediately appeared on the Cave Lizardman's face, and even his movements became cautious.

"Heehee, what did I see?"

"A cute little lizard."

Suddenly, a somewhat eerie and strange low laugh sounded from behind the Cave Lizardman.

Clearly, there was nothing behind him just now.

This thought flashed through the Cave Lizardman's mind, but his body's movement was faster than this thought; he knelt on the ground immediately and buried his head deeply.

"Great Master, something happened on the Lizardman side."

"Oh, what happened?"

"I hope it's something worth my attention." The strange, coquettish laugh became ethereal.

Accompanied by the Cave Lizardman recounting the course of events.

"Indeed interesting, get lost."

Hearing these words.

The Cave Lizardman kept his head down, not daring to make any movement to raise it, turned around, and left quickly.

And at the gate of the deep ancient castle, a slender figure appeared, but the shadow falling on the ground split into two.

"Did you hear that." The strange, coquettish laugh came.

"I'm not interested in such boring things; you've already wasted too much of my time, better pray that the recent results can satisfy me."

A flat voice came from the third floor of the ancient castle.

Crack!

The rotten window pushed open.

In the shadows, a cold face with a black robe and a hooked nose was revealed.

Human!

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that there would be a human in the depths of the Great Wetland.

The debris and dust falling from the rotten window frame were directly shaken away by the magic power fluctuation surging on the black-robed man.

Just standing by the window.

An invisible air pressure and magic power began to permeate the surroundings, adding a touch of terror to the surrounding air.

"Angel? People from the Slane Theocracy?"

"Hope it doesn't disrupt my plan." The hooked-nose mage's light brown pupils looked toward the depths of the jungle, a touch of coldness flashing in his gaze.

Dragon Tooth Tribe.

Tang Zheng put down a scroll in his hand and rubbed his temples.

During this period, he had been studying the magic knowledge and techniques passed down by the Lizardmen; fortunately, he had specifically kept one Priest Lizardman.

"Two days have passed, I wonder what actions the Lizardmen have taken?"

Tang Zheng straightened his back, stretched, and raised his hand to touch the head of the Evil Spirit Dog lying beside him.
