Chapter 296 295. Ending

On the cold ice field, several lizardmen were running for their lives, one step deep and one step shallow.

They were the first group to disperse. The original team consisted of a dozen people, mixed with lizardmen and a small number of half-demons, but now, only a few of them were left.

Puff puff puff——

I could hear the sounds of those horrible mushroom monsters running on the snow, but I couldn't see a single enemy.

"Damn invisible monster! Damn it!" Gora squeezed out the last bit of air from his lungs and desperately moved his heavy legs, just hoping to run half a step faster than his companions.

At this moment, he was extremely jealous of those half-demons whom he had once looked down upon. At the beginning of the rout, many half-demons with wings flew away and disappeared into the gray sky; some half-demons, relying on their joint structure adapted to the snowy environment, walked briskly on the frozen ground.

Unlike these lizard people, their hope of escape is extremely slim in this desperate situation.

"Ah! No——! Help me!!" The last lizardman running was suddenly tripped by an invisible object, and his terrified cry for help was heartbreaking.

However, no one looked at him twice, but just kept running.

If you stop now, you will only hurt yourself.

Familiar screams and the muffled sound of being dragged into the snow continued to reach his ears, and Gora didn't even have the courage to look back.

I have a wife and children, I have to go back to the tribe!

I don’t know how long I ran, and the only voice around me was my own.

Gora, completely exhausted, finally stopped, leaned on his knees, gasped for breath, and looked back. There was no one behind him, only the vast snowfield.

"At least... at least, I escaped..."

puff--

Puff——

Round footprints appeared out of thin air on the snow around him, one after another...

Despair surged in his heart, and Gora collapsed to the ground, giving up all resistance.

A fat guy named Puji walked slowly from a distance, picked up Gora with his tentacles, and easily stuffed him into his bloated stomach that was emitting hallucinogenic spores.

There, Gora was finally reunited with his friends.

When he regained consciousness, Gora found himself in a crowded, foul-smelling dungeon, with a large number of half-demons and lizardmen crammed into the small space.

Overhead, several strange, buzzing creatures hanging upside down emitted a faint but continuous heat, dispelling the chill of the dungeon.

Although he was spared from freezing, the turbid air, the lack of space to stretch his limbs, and the shouting prisoners all made him suffocate.

A little further away, a lizardman and a half-demon had a conflict for some unknown reason and were about to start a fight.

At the dungeon entrance, several Puji flew in and dragged the troublemakers away without explanation. When they were thrown back, they were covered in frost and were frozen half to death, with only the strength left to shiver...

Later, the Pujis scattered a large number of mushrooms. Gora, who was already starving, didn't care whether they were poisonous or not, and grabbed them and gobbled them up.

After filling his stomach, he collapsed in the cold corner, and like the other prisoners, he stared blankly at Puji on the top of the dungeon, quietly waiting for the unknown future.

…

Not enough cells!

Nearly six hundred prisoners were crammed into several makeshift dungeons.

Half of them were captured after being seriously injured on the battlefield, and the other half were captured by the Puji hunting team while fleeing.

Not all those who escaped survived. Many were seriously injured and died, while others fled alone into the depths of the ice field and froze into ice sculptures.

Of course, there were a few lucky ones with special abilities who managed to escape. The vast majority of them were half-demons with wings, believing that having wings meant they were superior to others...

The demons also paid a price in this battle. More than 20 demon warriors were killed and more than 70 were injured.

Although Lin Jun's requirement for most demons is to hide at the maximum distance and command Puji to fight remotely, there is no real safety on the battlefield, and it is normal for any accidents to happen.

Fortunately, the number of casualties was within expectations. As for the wounded, they were not a problem with the repair of mycelium and the ointment that had been prepared long ago.

After treating the wounded, the demons also began to help clean up the battlefield and collect spoils.

The relatively intact equipment was stripped off from the corpses that had begun to grow mushrooms, and the cold corpses were abandoned where they were, becoming new nutrients for the fungal mat.

Although the tribe is poor, they can occasionally find one or two rare equipment that gleams with attributes or skills among the mountains of loot.

And Lin Jun also got what he needed.

…

…

…

Although he had almost no communication barriers by learning [Demon Common Language LV8] from Xiaozhu before, now he has finally officially become a master of two languages.

With this ability alone, you can at least become a scholar in this world!

Thanks to the diversity of half-demons, the skills plundered are extremely varied.

What made Lin Jun speechless the most was that although he didn't see any succubus on the battlefield, he had acquired several of the succubus's signature skills.

I have a feeling that half of the reason there are so many half-demons is because of those succubi...

But Lin Jun likes it!

Look at how many good things these bastards, despised by the empire, have contributed to him!

With a quick glance, I discovered several interesting skills.

However, skill research can be put off until later, as Lin Jun hasn’t collected all the “trophies” yet!

The two tribes that had lost most of their defensive power were like small cakes with their shells peeled off, waiting to be eaten!

Although the fungal mat will spread in about ten days, Lin Jun still has a bad feeling.

A few days ago, two six-clawed creatures were chasing a half-demon on the edge of the fungal mat!

After they discovered the traces of the fungal mat, the half-demons didn't care anymore and turned around and disappeared in the direction they came from.

Considering the reason why the half-demon leader retreated at that time, Lin Jun couldn't help but think of the neighbor Chis who had moved.

That's my trophy!

Because they needed to escape from the fungal mat, they sent out the Puji Legion, which was composed of demons as the core.

Xiao Hei was also among them, while Xiao Zhu stayed at the base camp.

Unfortunately, when the demons arrived at the half-demon tribe, only ruins were left there.

The half-demon leader and the hundred or so people he protected were still there.

At this time, Bastardos looked visibly older, and the sparse scales on his body became darker, and he looked as if he was dead.

Faced with the army of demons and Puji, he actually surrendered voluntarily!

On the other side, the Lizardman Tribe remained where they were, which somewhat comforted Lin Jun's wounded heart.

After easily defeating the remaining defensive forces, Lin Jun parasitized more than a thousand lizardmen on the spot, and then raised their [Cold Resistance] individually.

Then the entire tribe was packed up and taken back.

After a simple education, these captives will be marked as sinners.

They also have to earn contribution points to atone for themselves and their families and regain their freedom!
