Fang Zheng certainly didn't care what the imaginative lizardman thought. In fact, the reason why he let him lead the team was that compared to letting the Zerg conduct a carpet search, it would be more convenient and quicker to directly find local people to follow behind.

Therefore, when Honeydew brought the swarm of insects to the doorstep of this tribe, it was no longer of any use to Fang Zheng.

At this moment, Fang Zheng has already controlled an alien to quietly and silently enter the lizardman tribe in front of him along the top of the cave, and began to carefully observe their ecology and culture.

The civilization of this lizard tribe is very primitive. It is not known whether it is because they have been isolated from the outside world. In Fang Zheng's opinion, the entire tribe's civilization is only slightly better than primitive society. Judging from the situation of these lizards, they mainly rely on growing fungi for a living, and they know some basic mining methods. At least Fang Zheng saw the shadow of a mine in their tribe, and there were lizards transporting ore back and forth.

Fang Zheng sensed them carefully and found that the physiques of these lizardmen were quite good. Apart from the young ones, the physical fitness of the adult lizardmen was about the same as that of entry-level professionals. There were also spellcasters who looked like "elders", but their spiritual power was at most at the level of a third-level magician... This was already the highest-ranking spellcaster Fang Zheng had seen in this lizardman tribe.

It can be said that a lizard tribe like this would have no presence on the surface. They were able to live in this place for thousands of years, probably because they had no enemies. After all, Chaos monsters would not go deep underground, and the underground here did not look like the East Continent where dark elves were running around. Perhaps because of this, this group of lizards were able to survive until now.

Fang Zheng had no intention of disturbing the lives of these lizardmen. As long as they did not take the initiative to cause trouble for him and the Zerg, Fang Zheng would not cause trouble for them. The reason why he came here was for the so-called... Origin Land.

Since Fang Zheng's hunch told him that there was some "trigger point" here, Fang Zheng naturally didn't mind coming to take a look at the situation.

Not only that, the place where these lizardmen lived was also a little unusual. Just as the lizardmen said before, this was originally a huge city, but now, most of the city has been buried in the soil, and the only part exposed outside is also in ruins. And these lizardmen themselves don't seem to care about these, they just numbly go in and out of it and live their lives.

But what disappointed Fang Zheng was that he did not see the distorted style of the Northern Goddess Bathhouse here, or in other words, after so many years, this city with half of its body buried in the soil no longer had any discernible features.

But since his premonition was effective, it meant that there must be something here that was related to him, or to his goal. So what was it... ?

Fang Zheng controlled the alien and silently passed through the dome of the Lizardman city, observing the situation of the Lizardman tribe while searching for possible intelligence.

Not long after, Fang Zheng's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright and dazzling light.

What is that?

Feeling the bright light, Fang Zheng quickly manipulated the alien to turn around and look towards the place where the light was coming from. Then he soon saw a tower deep in the Lizardman tribe. It looked like the top of a building, but unlike the other broken walls and ruins around it, or even the buildings whose overall shape could not be seen, this tower was incredibly intact. Because most of the Lizardman tribe was dark before, Fang Zheng did not immediately notice the problem.

But now, he quickly discovered that there was something unusual about this tower.

Even the light was a little unusual.

Fang Zheng was certain that it was not some kind of glowing stone, nor was it fire, but the light of magic.

At this moment, this ray of light shines out from the tower, illuminating the square of the Lizardman Tribe like the light of a lighthouse.

“Ding ding ding——!!”

At the same time, Fang Zheng saw a lizardman not far below him, hitting an iron gong vigorously. Hearing this sound, Fang Zheng saw the lizardmen put down their work and walked into the tower one by one. Soon, a voice similar to chanting came from the tower.

Are they worshipping? Do the Lizardmen also have religious traditions? Do they also worship the goddess of order?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng became curious. He controlled the alien to flip and land lightly on the second floor of the tower. After easily avoiding the two lizardman guards on duty at the door, he climbed in from the window on the third floor. Soon, Fang Zheng saw the situation inside clearly.

In this chapel, groups of lizardmen were kneeling on the ground. Standing in the front was an old lizardman wearing a tattered robe and holding a wooden cane. It looked like the leader of this group of lizardmen. At this moment, it was chanting loudly to the sculpture in front of the chapel.

“Thank you, great God, for giving us darkness! To avoid the vicious curse! Thank you, great God, for giving us a place to live and to avoid the evil of the outside world! God, omniscient and omnipotent God, please protect your people, so that they can safely pass through the test of this endless darkness and be reborn!!”

What kind of nonsense prayer is this?

Listening to the prayer of the Lizardman elder, Fang Zheng secretly curled his lips. Then he looked forward, and when he saw the sculpture, Fang Zheng was stunned.

What is this... thing?

The sculpture that appeared in front of Fang Zheng was not the sculpture of the goddess of order that Fang Zheng had imagined, nor was it the symbol of other gods he had seen when he was studying in the temple. Instead, it was a strange monster with a crocodile head, a jackal body, and angel-like wings behind it.

It stood upright on two legs like a human, but had four arms, two of which held a shield and a long sword respectively, and the other two were raised high and closed together, with something on them. The strange white light also emerged from them.

It doesn’t look like a righteous god, nor does it look like an evil demon. What on earth is this?

Looking carefully at the sculpture in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't figure out what kind of god it was. He had also learned about the gods of the main world in the temple. In addition to the goddess of order as the "highest god", there were also some secondary gods such as Corin, the god of forests and elves, and Gund, the god of blacksmiths and dwarves. However, these gods were generally the patron saints of various races. Among these gods, Fang Zheng had never seen anything like it.

Of course, the devil kings in the Ninth Level Hell looked very similar to this kind of thing, but Fang Zheng did not find any signs on this statue that matched the characteristics of a devil king, and he did not sense any evil aura here.

Maybe this guy is the patron saint of lizardmen?

Fang Zheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and put aside the doubts in his mind. He then controlled the alien to climb up the wall to the ceiling again. This time, Fang Zheng finally saw clearly what was placed in the hands of the statue.

It was a small bottle that looked like an urn, and on it were carved two entwined, winged snakes. The whole bottle looked like a special work of art, and was milky white in color. The magic light that Fang Zheng saw came from this small bottle...

Hmm? Wait, this bottle looks familiar to me.

When Fang Zheng looked at the "bottle" carefully, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen something similar somewhere... where exactly?

Just as Fang Zheng was thinking hard, the light from the bottle began to dim. The lizardmen seemed to think that the prayer was over. Not long after, Fang Zheng saw the lizardmen leave the chapel and return to their jobs. Only a few lizardmen guards with weapons remained here.

At this moment, Fang Zheng saw a wooden door behind the sculpture quietly pushed open, and then a lizard man tiptoed in...Isn't this the guy who had a second-year syndrome in front of him before?

What does he want to do?

Fang Zheng watched the lizard man named Holder hiding behind the statue and slowly climbing up. For a moment he was a little confused about what he wanted to do.

“Bang!”

Although Holder was very careful, it was obviously impossible for him to move as silently as the alien. When Holder was halfway up, he accidentally stepped on empty air and kicked the decoration next to the statue. The decoration was kicked to the ground by Holder, making a loud noise.

"What's wrong?!"

"What happened! Who is there!!"

This naturally attracted the attention of the lizardman guards in the chapel. They ran over with weapons raised and shouting, and soon saw Holden hanging on the statue!

"Hold, what are you doing here?!"

"How dare you blaspheme the gods? The elders will not let you go!"

“Get down here now!!”

But facing the roar of the lizardman guard, Holden had no intention of going down at all. On the contrary, he jumped between the hands of the statue in two or three steps, and then picked up the small bottle whose light had almost dissipated.

"I want to prove to you that my bloodline and my title are not just my fantasy!!"

As he shouted, Fang Zheng saw Holder holding the strange little bottle tightly and lifting it up. As Holder moved, the originally dim light on the little bottle shone again...

The next moment, Holden stabbed it heavily into his body.

When Fang Zheng saw this scene, a scene that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him suddenly flashed through his mind!
