When the flames dissipated, the entire Lizardman tribe was completely destroyed.

Most of the lizardmen were absorbed by Honid, and the few who had escaped were burned to death in the flames or suffocated by lack of oxygen. A primitive tribe that had lasted for thousands of years was so easily broken apart and completely destroyed.

However, Fang Zheng was not in the mood to lament the fragility of life at this moment. He frowned and stared at the charred ground in front of him. After making sure that he had burned the unfortunate thing to the ground without leaving any fish behind, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But even so, there are still many doubts deep in Fang Zheng's heart.

That is...what exactly is that so-called secret treasure?

What's going on with this lizardman tribe?

At this moment, Fang Zheng had countless questions in his heart. If it were before, he would probably be helpless about it, but now...

"Whisper the banner!"

Along with Fang Zheng's shout, the All-Knowing Angel's "Whispering Banner" appeared in his hand... Well, I have to say that it is very useful to carry a Google Encyclopedia with you at all times.

Well, let me investigate something about this lizardman tribe and the secret treasure.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng reached out and flipped open the all-knowing record in front of him. Soon, the history of these lizardman tribes immediately emerged on the page in front of him.

Just as the lizardmen said, they came from a very long time ago. They were created by [——] and once believed in [——]. However, because of [——], they were eventually exiled to the abyss of the earth. And the [——] they were looking for was...

"No, I can't watch this anymore."

Fang Zheng snapped the book "Whispering Announcement" in his hand, then reached out and pressed his aching forehead.

The Whispering Banner does have the ability to know everything, but it also has considerable limitations. First of all, only Fang Zheng himself can understand the contents of the book. Because it is not described in any kind of text, but after extracting and collecting information about all things in the world, it is presented on the page in the form of "text". Fang Zheng "interprets" these characters to obtain the information contained in them.

The Whispering Banner itself has no limits, but for Fang Zheng, it does have limits. He cannot interpret things beyond his "range of understanding". The information that far exceeds Fang Zheng's understanding, mastery, and possession is too complicated, so Fang Zheng cannot read and interpret the meaning of it at all.

But even though he couldn't decipher those "keywords", Fang Zheng still got some information from the records intermittently. First of all, this lizardman tribe seemed to have been one of the oldest races in the main world. They were created by a powerful being (it was unknown whether it was the goddess of order), and they also believed in some kind of gods. However, these lizardmen seemed to have made some mistakes, so they and their city were sunk into the earth...

Among them, Fang Zheng was unable to interpret the part about the "secret treasure". The only useful information he could get was that this secret treasure seemed to be a prop made by [——] for a certain purpose, but other than that, Fang Zheng was still unable to interpret.

But Fang Zheng had some idea at least.

First of all, the so-called "secret treasure" was probably from ancient times. At least the Lizardmen tribe had never left for thousands of years. The appearance of the secret treasure was exactly the same as the one Williams had in Fang Zheng's memory. As for the effect... well, Fang Zheng had to be thankful for his good luck. At least he didn't turn into a slime monster that ate everything.

Of course, maybe it could be because each "secret treasure" has a different effect? ​​After I injected myself, I was able to travel through the system, but after Honeyd injected himself, he turned into a slime monster that eats everything?

But then again, why is that "secret treasure" in Williams' hands?

With this question in mind, Fang Zheng opened the Whispering Banner again to investigate, and he was surprised to discover a secret! That was the reason why the Church of Dusk approached the Williams family... It was because of this secret treasure!

"Following the guidance of the great [——], we found the location of the Williams family. They are just a small noble family without much power. We can easily corrupt them and make them believers of our Lord!"

"We succeeded. The Williams family has given up their ugly and corrupt old beliefs and turned to believe in the majesty of our Lord. In order to test their loyalty, our Lord has given them a secret treasure. They will guard this secret treasure from generation to generation until the final day of judgment... Why did the Lord choose Williams? I don't know..."

Well, the puzzles didn't decrease, they increased.

Looking at the information provided by the Whispering Banner, Fang Zheng became even more confused. From the records above, it can be seen that the Church of Dusk approached and corrupted the Williams family under the guidance of a certain evil god they believed in. After that, the evil god gave the Williams family a "secret treasure", which was then passed down from generation to generation, at least for four generations.

But why the Williams family?

According to the logic of general fantasy novels or games, there should be some mysterious bloodline hidden in this family, or some special inheritance or soul mark. However, Fang Zheng used "The Whispering Banner" to investigate the Williams family and found nothing special about them. The most special thing is that the great grandfather of the Williams family was awarded the title and land because of his excellent command and outstanding achievements in the battle against the cultists... That's it.

"It seems that the problem behind this is really complicated..."

After confirming that there was nothing to be found, Fang Zheng had no choice but to surrender. Although "The Whispering Banner" helped him save a lot of time, on the other hand, those unsolvable problems were not something he could solve at the moment. As of now, the secret treasure in Williams's hand was given by the evil god believed in by the Church of Dusk, but because the other party was a true god, Fang Zheng could not read any information about him.

Not only that, this secret treasure itself is obviously of a very high level, at least beyond the standard that humans can understand. Otherwise, as Fang Zheng has currently reached the pinnacle of the extraordinary realm of mortals, it is impossible that he would be completely unable to interpret the information above.

But no matter what, at least Fang Zheng found some very important clues.

His own time travel did not seem like an accident... At least, the "secret treasure" did not fail. If Fang Zheng's guess was correct, then the "secret treasure" should have played the role it was supposed to play.

As for why it manifested itself in this form... Fang Zheng had no idea.

“Huh…”

After completing the investigation of everything that needed to be investigated, it was already late at night. Fang Zheng did not choose to continue staying in the Lizardman Tribe that had become a ruin, but returned to the Zerg territory and opened the wizard's mansion. Then Fang Zheng dragged his tired body and fell asleep drowsily on the bed.

I don't know if it was because of the influence of the secret treasure, but Fang Zheng didn't have any good dreams that night. In particular, he dreamed more than once that Honeydew was not completely burned to death by him. On the contrary, the remaining part of him escaped his search, and then quietly sneaked deep underground, and merged with a slime, and began to revive again. Then he devoured the powerful monsters underground, took their power for himself, and then the halo of the protagonist of the online novel unfolded.

Then Honeydew finally transformed from a slime into... a cute girl?!

"What the hell is this?"

Fang Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help but complain. At this moment, suddenly, a gentle and crisp voice sounded in his ears.

"Are you awake, Master?"

“This sound is…”

Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard the strange voice. He turned around and saw a girl in a black dress with waist-length hair sitting next to him, looking at him with a smile on her face.

However, for Fang Zheng...

"Who are you?"
