"I thought you knew what he was." The Wolf King heard Li Wenjia's voice and spoke into the public channel.

"How many shots did we fire at that time?" asked a soldier on the public channel.

"It should have been three shots, and I fired one. I didn't even aim, and it was scared unconscious." Another soldier replied.

"What a coward! When the mutation happened, it was quite loud. I didn't expect it to be so useless."

"After gaining power, it became complacent. It probably doesn't even know that we can actually see it using infrared mode."

The Lizardman's initial attack had no effect, and the crowd didn't even think it was aiming at its target. Ultrasonic attacks were inherently unremarkable; at least the expedition had never encountered a similar attack capable of inflicting significant damage. Most of the time, ultrasonic waves were only useful as an auxiliary reconnaissance tool.

Of course, the attack was still fruitful for the team. Their exoskeletons were equipped with passive sonar, and after a brief comparison, they obtained a high-quality sound wave map.

At the far end of the tunnel, a figure appeared on the map.

The lizard man roared at the tunnel again. The muscles on the surface of its body twitched a few times, and the scales were changed in vertical angle by the muscles. Then its color changed rapidly, and some mosaic patterns appeared on its body surface, and finally disappeared from everyone's naked eyes.

Li Wenjia skillfully adjusted the visor to infrared mode. He saw that the mutant was standing still and had not moved at all.

"Thank you, Iron Man from afar, for bringing our people back."

A hoarse voice came from deep in the tunnel, which made everyone feel relieved.

The tribe accepted the gift and chose to talk.

The Wolf King nudged Li Wenjia's shoulder with his elbow: "You going? Or should I?"

"Let me do it. I have experience."

Li Wenjia cleared his throat and then turned on the speaker function of his visor: "We need to stay. We can exchange."

"Is this your experience?" The wolf king grabbed his shoulders.

It's not his fault he was nervous. After all, Li Wenjia's words were incredibly blunt. And not only were they blunt, but both of their demands were clearly quite radical. This tribe was clearly at odds with the merchants. Wasn't this still a conflict? The Wolf King didn't believe the tribe could accept another trade request anytime soon.

People always live in the context of experience, so once bitten by a snake, they become afraid of ropes for ten years.

The other party was silent for a long time, and then some rustling sounds came from the tunnel. They were commotion, which showed that there were different opinions among them.

Li Wenjia decided to up the ante: "We share the hunting grounds, and we defend them together."

This time, the other side didn't object. A flash of cold light shot out from the depths of the tunnel. It was a 108mm thick steel pipe, moving at an extremely high speed, leaving a streak of silver light in the air.

"Clang~"

The steel pipe struck the asphalt, scraping a long white streak. A dark red blood hole appeared in midair, blood still pumping from the severed vein. The sticky blood flowed slowly along the invisible surface, gradually outlining a thick thigh.

“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”

Joyful sounds echoed from within the tunnel, but no one emerged from the shadows.

Li Wenjia knew what they meant. He quickly pulled out a pulse rifle from behind, turned off the safety, pressed the first-level charging button, raised the gun, and aimed.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

A dozen 158-gram Gauss rifle bullets, briefly accelerated in the barrel, reached Mach 1. With a muzzle energy of 20,000 joules, these bullets easily shredded the invisible monster more than ten meters away, creating several large holes in the wall behind it.

Almost in an instant, the lizard man appeared in the tunnel and fell limply to the ground.

Without dignity or decency, the mutilated corpse stirred up the dust around it, announcing the end of a legend.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and more and more people gathered around the corpse. They commented on the inhuman corpse, not caring at all about the bloody smell in the air.

This kind of thing is very common in tribes. They usually only exchange specialties with fixed objects. Every time the trading object is changed, it usually means the fall of another object.

This tribe seemed to respect life. After a brief moment of mourning, several shirtless young men with white paint on their bodies stepped forward and worked together to lift the body.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Raise little mice next year..."

They moved in a strange rhythm, like a professional team, carrying the monster's corpse and gradually disappearing into the darkness.

Li Wenjia watched all this in amazement. It was the first time he had encountered such a scene.

What kind of funeral is this?

"He's such a bastard. He's already kidnapped several of our people."

A middle-aged man with bones stuck in his head walked out of the crowd and communicated with the Wild Wolf Squad in a clear and fluent language that was neither too loud nor too soft.

"Can you guys talk normally? I thought you..."

The middle-aged man looked at the Wolf King as if he were a fool, but he didn't refute him. He just started to introduce himself: "I am Changgu, the elder here. If you want to trade, just come to me directly."

"Can I only find you?" Li Wenjia grasped the key point.

"You can find someone else, but you'd better not cheat them. We have a lot of freedom here, and I can't guarantee what they will do when I'm not around."
