Chapter 123: Pretending not to have stolen the holy egg

All the fish were covered in sharp teeth, venom dripping from their scales, looking fierce and terrifying, like evil ghosts, their bodies covered in green blood.

They were wantonly biting and slaughtering.

The sky was densely packed with mutated piranhas, looking like they were blotting out the sun.

It was enough to make someone with trypophobia feel like they were about to have an episode!

The Lizardmen were all class-changers, naturally strong in body, and also possessed powerful self-healing abilities.

Even if an arm was broken, they didn’t need healing potions; they could fully recover in just a few days.

This was their tribe’s innate ability.

And they also possessed some poison resistance.

Some Lizardmen could even breathe fire.

Because it was said that Lizardmen were a mutated race with thin dragon blood.

So occasionally, one or two among them could breathe fire.

But even with hundreds of Lizardmen going all out, it was difficult to gain the upper hand in this catastrophe.

A Lizardman fighting for his life could at most hack and kill a dozen fish before being bitten to death.

The Lizardmen’s defensive line was retreating crazily.

It looked like their home was about to be destroyed.

“Lord Chieftain, what should we do?”

“Are we going to be exterminated today!?”

“Father, are we going to die here today?”

At the front line, a few people asked.

The burly chieftain heard this, his expression calm and unhurried, and he scolded loudly.

“What are you wavering about!?”

He knew he couldn’t panic.

He was the backbone of everyone!

“We are the Wuka tribe!”

His voice was as clanging and powerful as steel.

He had a few wrinkles on his face; he was already a middle-aged man.

He held a horse-chopping saber; he was the chieftain of this tribe, Tuo Gang.

He was now over thirty years old, which was middle-aged for the Lizard race.

It was equivalent to forty or fifty years old for a human.

Tuo Zhan, whom Su Ming had encountered before, was his eldest son.

The chieftain’s gaze was steady, his hand gripping the large saber, staring fixedly ahead.

His level was as high as 49.

Peak of the fourth transition.

He was a native of this dungeon.

He could be considered the backbone of the resistance against these fish monsters!

Every slash was peerlessly powerful, capable of hacking down a large number of fish monsters.

He swung his arm, charging at the very front alone.

“Young warriors of Wuka, we have been sealed off, there is nowhere to escape!”

“Battle is our final destination!”

“Pass the order down, kill!”

“After this battle ends, those who survive will be directly granted the title of Warrior!!”

Chieftain Tuo Gang roared loudly.

His words were received by several elders, who immediately passed the order loudly.

“The Chieftain has ordered, survivors will directly become warriors!”

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

The sound spread across the sky.

All the Lizardmen were immediately excited, fighting in a bloodbath.

Hundreds of Lizardmen all rushed out, a vast crowd, their battle cries reaching the heavens.

After all, it was the title of Warrior.

For the Lizard tribe, this was supreme glory.

As long as they could obtain this title, they would have no regrets even in death.

This was the Lizard tribe’s values!

The Lizardmen’s weapons were all very powerful; after all, it was the accumulation of hunting wild monsters in this dungeon for so many years.

They had always been preparing for the final battle.

They had some information passed down from their ancestors, knowing some of the characteristics of these fish monsters.

The biggest characteristic was that they were all covered in highly toxic substances, so they were all very careful, not even daring to touch the splattered blood.

Su Ming watched this scene from afar, his expression cold.

He directly pulled out the Frost-Flame Death-Scar Broken Sword and held it in his hand.

“How could these fish monsters wake up?”

“I shouldn’t have disturbed them.”

From beginning to end, Su Ming had been very careful.

“Could it be that these Lizardmen, after discovering the holy egg was fake, went back in a rage and accidentally woke up the school of fish?”

Su Ming’s expression was uncertain, calculating in his heart.

Just then, Tuo Zhan, who was fighting in front, suddenly narrowed his eyes and turned to look over.

“Hmm!”

“It’s actually you!”

“How could you appear here!?”

The moment he saw Su Ming, he was furious.

He immediately turned his head to look at his father, the chieftain.

“Father, it is this person who swapped our tribe’s holy egg!”

Tuo Gang heard this and also turned his head, his eyes full of shock.

He had thought his son was just talking nonsense.

After all, using a snake egg found at random to trade for a warrior title was a guaranteed profit.

His son had always loved playing such petty tricks.

No one knows a son better than his father.

He knew this best, so he hadn’t believed Tuo Zhan’s words from the start.

But now, a human had suddenly appeared in the tribe.

Could it be that what his son said was true?

“Human, is what my son said the truth?”

He looked at Su Ming and said loudly.

As he spoke, he raised his hand to make a gesture.

A group of elders immediately stepped forward to protect him.

The bloodthirsty fish monsters gathering around were temporarily held off.

The chieftain was able to take Tuo Zhan toward Su Ming, frowning as he asked.

The holy egg was very important.

If they could find it back and learn the Lizard tribe’s holy ultimate skill, there might still be a chance of winning!

Su Ming heard the chieftain’s question, but his expression remained calm as usual.

“Friends of the Lizard tribe, you might have misunderstood something.”

He absolutely could not admit it!

Even less could he hand over the holy egg!

Once handed over, his act of stealing the holy object would be confirmed, and he would definitely be besieged!

“Among the relics of that shadow-staff martial artist, I only found that green ball of light, which I gave to you.”

“If that thing wasn’t your holy egg, then I don’t know its whereabouts either.”

Su Ming dared to say this because, from beginning to end, he had never taken out the real holy egg in front of Tuo Zhan.

He had directly taken the relics from Wang Yanghui’s corpse.

Then he took out the snake egg and swapped it.

Su Ming’s words made Tuo Zhan doubt himself slightly.

But soon, his eyes became even firmer.

“Impossible! It was the people from that team who stole the holy egg; we chased for a long time before finding out.”

“All the evidence is...”

Su Ming raised an eyebrow and suddenly stepped forward.

“Is there a possibility that they had already taken the holy egg out to deal with it?”

He said, frowning, directly interrupting the other party’s words.

He actually took the initiative to approach!

He held his head high, his expression calm.

This was a type of extremely confident body language in negotiations, capable of invisibly pressuring the other party.

“After all, that was a whole team, not one person.”
