Chapter 104

[Lizard Race Holy Egg (Platinum High-Grade)]

[Breath-Returning Mask (Silver Low-Grade)]

[...]

Su Ming’s expression was flat; he flicked his hand.

The blade of intent dissipated.

Looking around, his eyes remained indifferent, as if he had just crushed an ant.

This aura, and the decisiveness in killing he had just displayed!

All made everyone tremble with fear.

"Do you still want to stop me?"

Su Ming held his head high, calm and composed.

He hadn't tortured Wang Yanghui too much.

He had only given him a moment of pain before killing him.

Although this person was despicable, in truth, he just wanted to survive.

To be honest, most people in the world, faced with such a situation, would make the same choice.

It was just that Wang Yanghui had encountered him.

This traitor made Su Ming very unhappy.

So, he died; it was that simple.

If it were someone else who had experienced everything Su Ming had, they would inevitably loathe betrayal to the core.

They would want to catch people like Wang Yanghui and Ren Xiaoman and torture them for years.

But Su Ming’s mindset was already at a different realm from ordinary people.

For him.

Death was enough.

For a traitor, death is tranquility.

Spending time on torture was, instead, a lower-class act.

Su Ming’s ambitions were far greater.

However, for Zhang Tang, perhaps he could still torture him a bit.

Su Ming killed Wang Yanghui partly to make himself feel better.

On the other hand, it was to intimidate the others.

That was why he used the most brutal method of execution.

"Do you still want to stop me?"

Su Ming’s voice remained calm.

Yet it was filled with an indescribable pressure.

More surging than a roar.

More oppressive than silence.

This tone made people feel afraid involuntarily.

Once these words were spoken, everyone remained silent for a long time, none daring to speak again.

"Alright... our Lizard race can let this girl go."

A young Lizardman stepped forward and said.

"But there is one condition..."

Before it could finish speaking, Su Ming directly tossed out a dark green, stone-like egg.

On this holy egg were engraved dense, rune-like spots, still flickering with a ghostly green light.

"You attacked them because of this, right?"

Su Ming said.

The Lizardmen’s eyes widened in shock; they hurriedly caught it, carefully protecting it in their arms!

"Yes! That’s right!"

Their expressions were somewhat anxious, and even more excited.

This was their tribe’s supreme treasure, finally returned.

Su Ming said slowly.

"You were all deceived by that staff martial artist; he was the one who stole your tribe’s holy egg."

"Only his class skill, Shadow Flow Step, could sneak into your tribe without a sound."

"And this girl was framed."

Su Ming said with calm eyes.

Hearing this, Bu Jue’s eyes turned red.

Not only had she survived, but her name had also been cleared.

She had truly met a noble person.

The few Lizardmen were shocked upon hearing this.

"To think he actually deceived us!"

"We almost let him escape, and our holy egg would have been lost."

"If the tribe found out we let him go, that would be a capital offense; heavens, my back feels cold just thinking about it..."

Su Ming looked at them and said indifferently: "You are truly stupid to believe his words so easily."

The Lizardmen, hearing this, were not angry; instead, their eyes were filled with joy.

The holy egg was back; what did it matter if they were scolded by this human expert!

Finding the lost holy egg was a glory for the tribe, a great achievement!

When they returned, they would be heavily rewarded, perhaps even named warriors of the Wuka tribe.

These Lizardmen were very young, only about ten years old, equivalent to 20-year-old youths among humans.

To be named a warrior at this age was simply bringing honor to their ancestors.

All the female Lizardmen in the tribe would be theirs to choose from.

So, they were all grinning from ear to ear.

"Good, we will keep our promise and let this woman go."

"Friend, your name is... God of Slaughter, right?"

They said, full of goodwill.

All hostility toward Su Ming in their eyes had completely vanished.

Su Ming nodded.

"Thank you, this holy egg is our tribe’s supreme treasure!"

"You helped us retrieve it and helped our entire tribe."

"You will be a friend of our Wuka Lizardman tribe."

A sturdy Lizardman stepped forward, extended its tail, and made a gesture of shaking hands.

"Friend, let me introduce myself; I am Tuo Zhan, son of the Wuka Lizard tribe’s chieftain!"

"I now formally invite you to gather at our tribe!"

As he spoke, his eyes were full of enthusiasm.

But... Su Ming caught a trace of extremely hidden killing intent in its eyes.

Feigning enthusiasm?

Heh, what a pity; this is simply playing with a broadsword in front of Guan Gong.

Su Ming saw through it at a glance.

This group of Lizardmen had ill intentions.

"I have long heard that Lizardmen are warm and hospitable; as long as one is a good person, even if they are human, you are willing to accept them."

"Seeing it today, it is indeed true."

Su Ming played along, not refusing.

He just said with a faint smile.

As if he were also actively turning enemies into friends.

"In that case, I will come to your tribe tomorrow for a short visit."

He stood with his hands behind his back, nodding and smiling as he spoke.

As if he had fallen for the trap.

Tuo Zhan sneered inwardly, gloom gradually gathering in its dark green slit pupils.

On the surface, however, it still showed goodwill toward Su Ming.

"Haha, very good, friend."

"After I return, I will report to the elders and my father; we will prepare a generous reward for you!"

"Please, you must come!"

Subsequently, the group of Lizardmen left quickly.

The Lizard race is a very warlike race, one could even say they are single-minded.

To be afraid without fighting is a great taboo.

So at first, they were willing to die rather than not fight Su Ming.

But after seeing the destructive power Su Ming displayed, they chickened out.

They figured it out.

If they were certain to be killed in this battle, even if the tribe could avenge them later, wouldn't they still be at a loss?

If they were dead, they were dead.

These Lizardmen were all young, their faith not as pure as that of adult Lizardmen.

Besides, the outcome wasn't bad; they had obtained the holy egg.

Good thing they didn't throw their lives away!

On the way back, the few Lizardmen felt smug.

Halfway there, a Lizardman said to the captain.

"However, don't you think this holy egg looks a bit strange?"

"It has a fishy, foul smell?"

"And it’s not as round as in my memory."

A Lizardman stroked his chin, saying seriously.

The chieftain’s son, Tuo Zhan, looked profound and said coldly.

"Hmph, what do you know."

"The holy egg just smells like this."

Everyone hurriedly agreed.

"That’s true, we have never seen the holy egg up close; only the chieftain and elders have the authority to touch it, so we have no way to judge if it’s real or fake."

"Don't worry, I assume he wouldn't dare to deceive us!"

"Besides, it’s impossible for him to find something exactly like the holy egg to replace it on the spot; how could there be such a coincidence!"

Subsequently, the conversation shifted, and they asked.

"Tuo Zhan, do you think this human really dares to come to our tribe as a guest?"

Tuo Zhan smiled confidently: "Heh, I promised him there would be treasures, he will definitely be tempted."

"Humans, a race as greedy as his, cannot resist temptation!"

"Once he comes, he will face the siege and execution of our three Fourth-Turn elders!"

"If that fails, my father, the Level 49 tribal chieftain, will also make a move!"

"This human will definitely die!"

He said with a grim face and a cold sneer.

The surrounding young Lizardmen also laughed loudly.

"Jie chi jie chi, stupid human!"

"Does he really think he can have a good outcome after threatening us Lizardmen?"

"Too naive."

"When the time comes, we must make him into a fine roast meat and enjoy it well."

"Human meat is also a rare delicacy."

"Mm-hmm, this person is powerful; making him into a slave puppet using our clan’s ancient methods would also be good."

Between their words, evil was fully revealed.

The Lizard race was never a kind race to begin with.

Unfortunately, they were still too green.

In terms of calculation and strategy, they were like infants in front of Su Ming.

Su Ming watched their departing backs with a smile.

Although he couldn't hear what they were saying.

He could guess it was close enough.

He had long since prepared a backup plan.

Did this group of Lizardman brats really think that was the holy egg?

Heh.

The real holy egg was still stored safely in Su Ming’s personal space.

Remember that Second-Turn giant snake Su Ming killed back then?

That giant snake had actually dropped a snake-venom testicle.

Big and smelly.

No one wanted this thing, and it wouldn't sell on the World Channel, so it had been piling up in Su Ming’s backpack.

Su Ming discovered that this thing looked very similar to the Lizardman holy egg.

So he decided on the spur of the moment to toss it out.

He didn't expect this group of Lizardmen to really fail to recognize it.

So he played along.

What kind of person was Su Ming?

Once a treasure fell into his hands, could he hand it over?

Delusional!
