In the end, except for Honid, the other lizardmen also nodded and agreed to Fang Zheng's request. Of course, the main reason for this was that the appearance of the insect swarm was too intimidating. It can be seen that sometimes it is easier to look scary. At least Fang Zheng doesn't have to waste time communicating with these lizardmen... Otherwise, he really wants to let the insect swarm bite the idiot leader to death. He really can't stand it.
"Follow them, hide yourself, find the Origin and contact me."
Fang Zheng gathered a team of cockroaches, springtails, aliens and hydralisks, and then gave an order to the leading hydralisk before cutting off the mental connection. He originally wanted to follow along to see what was going on, but the lizardman named Honid was so annoying. He seemed to really think his swarm was some kind of "royal guardian" and kept talking nonsense to him. Fang Zheng never thought that he would meet an idiot with a brain defect in the main world. In order to avoid being fooled by the other party, he simply cut off the contact... Anyway, as long as he was not there, the swarms could not understand what the other party was saying, so he just treated the idiot as a source of noise pollution.
And Fang Zheng also understood why his tribe threw this idiot out... No one wants to have a guy who talks nonsense all day and takes his delusions seriously in his territory. If Fang Zheng has such a guy who fantasizes that he is a descendant of the royal family of a lost kingdom and will return to glory sooner or later, then Fang Zheng will kick him out directly.
If it was just a simple case of being childish, it could be considered cute if it happened to a female, and it could be considered funny if it happened to a male, but the problem was that the lizard man was very serious, he really believed that he was a descendant of some kingdom, and he was even willing to use his own life and the lives of his companions to prove it... This made Fang Zheng feel a little awkward.
Of course, this is the conclusion Fang Zheng came to from a human perspective. Perhaps the values of lizardmen are different from those of humans, but no matter what... let's take a look at the situation first.
At the same time, the lizardmen were already on their way home, but their reactions were naturally not that stable...
"You said... we really want to bring those terrible monsters back to the origin?"
As he spoke, one of the lizardmen looked back fearfully, but there was nothing behind them. Those terrible monsters were still following them, but they all suddenly disappeared at some point.
"Even if we don't want to, what else can we do?"
The other lizard man also realized it at this time.
"We can either die in the mouths of those monsters or return to the Land of Origin. Do you think we have a third option?"
"But those monsters are very powerful... I'm worried that they will harm the tribe..."
The third lizardman obviously cares more about his tribe. Although they are "consumables" thrown out by the tribe, it does not mean that everyone is as bitter and resentful of their tribe as Hornid. Although these monsters that suddenly appeared destroyed those terrible chaos monsters and even dispelled the fog that had been covering this land, how can I put it...
After all, the appearance of the Zerg... you know.
"No matter what, this is all Honed's responsibility."
While muttering, several lizardmen looked at Honnid who was walking in the front. Obviously, this lizardman did not realize that his companions were dissatisfied with him. Just as Fang Zheng thought, it would be fine if Honnid's second-year syndrome only made him crazy, but under the circumstances at that time, if the other party was not too lazy to deal with them, Honnid's arrogant behavior alone would be enough to kill all of them in the mouths of those monsters.
Although they finally left safely, it was obvious that these lizardmen would not be grateful to Honid for this.
Not to mention that this guy still believes that it was because of him that the others were able to escape danger...
The Stone Crusher Tribe is located deep underground, with passages extending in all directions, and no fire or signs can be seen along the way. However, this group of lizardmen obviously have the ability to see in the dark, and are very familiar with the roads here. They twist and turn through a certain order and move forward along the tunnels deep underground. They walk on the hard ground without making any sound, and except for a pair of eyes emitting a faint glow in the dark, almost no creature can detect their existence - this is why the lizardmen can survive in the dangerous underground until now, and why they are unwilling to go to the surface.
But there is a lack of resources underground.
This is why these lizardmen would risk leaving the underground and heading to the surface to search. The underground is too dangerous for them - places with abundant resources are guarded by powerful underground monsters, and the lizardmen with only primitive civilization level have no way to deal with those underground monsters. Therefore, they have to bite the bullet and seek some resources from the surface to sustain their lives.
When they turned the corner again, a glimmer of light finally appeared before their eyes.
A huge stone emitting a cold glow was placed diagonally on a platform not far away, illuminating the gate in front of them. It was made of iron and even looked a little rusty. The wall next to it was even more dilapidated. It was a wall made entirely of stones. As for whether it could defend against the enemy... it was hard to say.
Honeydew was full of energy and walked to the iron gate with a swagger. Then he stretched out his hand and slammed the iron gate hard.
"Open the door, we are back!!"
"Honnid?"
Hearing Hornid's shout, a lizardman poked his head out from the gap in the city wall.
"Why did you come back so soon? Where's your harvest? Don't you get anything? This won't do. You know the rules of the tribe. If you don't bring back anything useful to the tribe, then you are no longer a citizen of the tribe!"
“…”
After hearing the sentinel's answer, the lizardmen remained silent. This was the tradition of the Stone-Breaking Tribe, and also their rule. Underground resources were limited, and unless a person proved that he could have enough "use" for the tribe, they would be thrown out like this as collectors, until these collectors could bring back something to prove themselves.
However, Honeydew didn't seem to care about the sentry's ridicule. He stood proudly at the gate and raised his hands.
"I did not bring back any resources, but I brought back more important information than resources! The curse covering the surface of the earth has dissipated! And those terrible monsters were destroyed along with it! Not only that, we also encountered a group of alien races who are willing to submit to me and fight for me!"
"Submit to you?"
Hearing Honid's answer, the sentry on the city wall sneered.
"You are still just imagining things. Well, even if they are willing to submit to you, where are the alien races you are talking about?"
Honed didn't care about the sentinel's ridicule at all. He certainly knew that those terrible monsters had the ability to lurk underground. He thought that these monsters must be hiding underground not far from him at this moment, observing his every move to make sure that this was the master they were going to serve... So Honed raised his hands without hesitation and shouted loudly.
"Come out! My servants! Show yourselves to this world again!!"
“…”
Nothing happens.
There was silence all around, as if there was nothing nearby.
“Puff.”
The sentry sneered, then retracted his head and used another stone to plug the gap.
"Get out! The tribe doesn't need useless people like you! Get out! You don't have to come back unless you complete the mission!!"
“…”
Facing this scene, the other lizardmen seemed to have expected it. Only Honid stood there blankly. He didn't understand what went wrong. Could it be that he hadn't received their approval? This was impossible. He had clearly passed those trials. Why? Why did it turn out like this?
Honeydew stood blankly at the gate for a few minutes, then he suddenly ran to the other side.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"I have to go somewhere, I must have overlooked something, I know I have something very important to do!"
After saying this, Honid walked into the tunnel next to him without looking back, while the other lizardmen stared at Honid's receding back and hesitated.
"What now?"
"The elders won't let us in. The rules of the tribe have never changed..."
"Well...I have an idea."
While these lizardmen were discussing, one of them suddenly raised his hand.
"Since the tribe won't allow us to return, why don't we go to live on the surface? Maybe we can ask those alien races to allow us to live on their territory, or we can just leave and go somewhere else... The curse has been lifted, and those terrible monsters have disappeared. Can't we find a better place to go?"
"That's true..."
Hearing this, the other lizardmen's eyes lit up. It was true that they couldn't go back to the tribe, but that didn't mean they had no way out! They could go to the surface, or even to other areas. As long as they could survive, the environment on the surface might be better than underground!
But the problem is...
"What about Honid? What about him?"
"…Let him be. I've had enough of his crazy talk."
