Within the Lizardmen tribe.

Upon learning that an enemy was about to attack, all the lizardmen in the tribe immediately sprang into action.

The elderly, women, and children who were unable to participate in the battle were evacuated, leaving only the valiant and skilled lizardman warriors.

"My lord wizard, all preparations for the battle are complete!"

"Um."

Upon hearing the report from the lizardman below, the lizardman wizard nodded indifferently, then leaned on his cane and walked out of the tent.

Upon seeing this.

The lizardman immediately followed behind, speaking cautiously.

"Master Wizard, are you about to cast a spell on the tribe?"

"That's right."

The lizardman wizard answered without turning his head.

As the tribe's only shaman, he did not merely play a role similar to a leader; he became a shaman through his own abilities and true strength.

Whether it's strength level or spiritual energy reserves.

No lizardman in the tribe could compare to it.

The lizardman shaman arrived at the tribe's gate, circled the simple yet sturdy wall twice, then took out a faintly glowing stone from his robes and began chanting incantations.

Upon seeing this.

The other lizards knelt on the ground with devout expressions, silently praying behind it.

Seeing the reactions of the lizardmen around him, the minotaurs around Kuangsuo felt a little strange and didn't understand what was going on.

Only Kuangsuo understood that this meant the lizardman shaman was about to cast a spell around the tribe.

It is said that...

The array cast by the lizardman wizard was extremely advanced.

Not only does it possess super strong defensive capabilities, it can even launch counterattacks.

But these were all things it had heard its deceased father mention; it was this moment that it had truly witnessed them firsthand.

The lizardman wizard's bizarre behavior lasted for a full five minutes.

Until five minutes later.

The lizardman wizard's murmurs gradually ceased, and at the same time, the glowing stone in his hand lost its luster, becoming as ordinary as any other stone.

The lizardmen kneeling behind it also stood up, their faces filled with undisguised joy, as if a weight had been lifted from their hearts, and they no longer appeared as fearful and uneasy as before.

"My Lord Wizard."

"Alright." The lizardman shaman waved his hand. "I've already set up several arrays around the tribe. If that human dares to come, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

...

Led by Chi Yu, Lu Yuan finally arrived at the tribe it had mentioned.

"Wetlands?"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unexpectedly, such a large wetland exists in this desolate land. It seems that the monsters in the tribe must be related to water.

As he looked around at the thick fog, Lu Yuan subconsciously frowned.

"The mist in front of us is too thick. We can only vaguely see the outlines. We can't even observe the situation inside the tribe on the other side. We don't know what kind of monster race they are or how big the tribe is. If we rush in rashly, we may easily fall into a passive situation."

Thinking of all this, Lu Yuan turned to look at Chi Yu, who had already landed beside him.

"Akaba, fly over there and throw a few fireballs. Remember not to linger."

Upon hearing this, Akabane did not hesitate. He immediately burst into flames and rushed into the air, indiscriminately throwing fireballs in all directions.

The fireball pierced through the water mist, illuminating the surrounding environment, before landing in the wetlands and burning.

Despite being in a wetland, the Red Feather's talent makes its flames extraordinary, capable of burning for several seconds even in water, let alone in a wetland with some puddles.

As the flames subsided, Lu Yuan could vaguely make out his surroundings.

But just as he was about to take a closer look...

Suddenly.

Loud roars erupted from all around him, and in the blink of an eye, he was completely surrounded.

"What?"

Lu Yuan frowned.

He was shocked to find himself surrounded before he could even make a move.

However, he calmed down after a short while.

"Did these guys know I was coming?"

As he pondered this, the surrounding mist gradually dissipated under the scorching flames, and Lu Yuan finally saw clearly what was enveloping him.

"Lizard Man?"

Looking at the lizardman in front of him with light blue skin and holding various stone weapons, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

I never expected that such a diverse range of races would exist in this secret realm.

First there were the minotaurs who formed tribes, and now they've encountered the lizardmen, who are clearly more advanced. It's as if they've traveled back to a primitive tribe.

"Humans have appeared!"

"Kill him!"

Without any pause, after the lizardmen completely surrounded Lu Yuan, they launched a decisive attack.

Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately commanded the four little ones to launch a counterattack, while simultaneously looking at the lizardman charging at the front.

"Just entered the level of a Phantom God?"

The lizardmen's specific data appeared before my eyes. Their levels were very similar to the minotaurs I had slaughtered before. They had both just reached the level of Phantom God, and the highest level was no more than the third tier of Phantom God.

After making his decision, Lu Yuan immediately picked up the Thousand-Patterned Blade and followed the four little ones into the lizard horde.

After exploring the secret realm, not only did my Beastmaster level improve, but more importantly, my experience in fighting monsters of the Illusion God level and above was significantly enhanced.

now.

Monsters below the third rank of Illusion God have virtually no chance of harming him.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan leading the four little ones charging towards them, the lizardmen immediately raised their weapons and attacked.

A fierce battle immediately broke out between the two sides.

But the imagined back-and-forth battle never materialized.

It was less of a battle and more of a one-sided massacre led by Lu Yuan and his four little ones.

The lizardman warriors, carefully selected from within the tribe, were utterly powerless against Lu Yuan and the four little ones. They were instantly killed by group skills before they could even react.

Scorching flames, flashing lightning, and the dragon's breath with immense destructive power.

No matter what kind of attack, the lizardman could not withstand it.

Not only that.

In their perception, humans, weak and powerless, as insignificant as ants, had transformed into death itself at this moment.

The blade in his hand, which occasionally flashed with a faint light, was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, reaping lives wherever it passed.

In just a moment.

The lizardman warrior legion that had originally surrounded Lu Yuan had been completely routed and slaughtered without exception.

And this battle was filled with carnage.

From the moment it started to the moment it ended, it only lasted a few minutes.
