Kroeber carefully searched the surrounding environment, not missing any details.
After some effort, he finally found a crack about one person high at the bottom of the original magma pool.
This crack seemed to be hidden very deeply, as if there was a mysterious force protecting it, making it impossible for Krober's mental power and magic to detect its existence.
That's why Kroeber spent some time looking for it.
As Krober approached the crack, he was filled with vigilance.
After all, this was his first time coming into contact with this kind of thing, and any negligence could lead to fatal consequences.
However, when he put his hand close to the crack, he felt a strange breath.
The breath was very strange and gave him a sense of unreality.
How can I describe this feeling? It's like the crack is right in front of you, but your intuition tells you that the crack does not exist.
Krober placed his hand over the crack and felt it carefully.
Contrary to what he had imagined, his hand did not cause him any discomfort or sense of threat when it approached the crack.
This strange feeling made Krober curious and at the same time he became more interested in this crack.
While Krober was exploring the crack, a group of strangely dressed lizardmen were communicating on the other side of the crack.
"How much time has passed since the first batch of slaves entered?"
A thin lizardman wearing a robe asked the lizardmen standing on his left and right.
"Sir, a natural time has passed."
"A natural time..."
The lizardman known as the Sage tapped the ground lightly with his staff.
"Pick out ten junior warriors and have them escort a junior apprentice into the rift. This rift may require a certain level of magical attainments to open in the opposite direction."
The so-called primary warriors are actually those lizardman warriors who have awakened the power of qi and blood.
These warriors have a higher status than civilians and slaves in Lizardman society. If viewed in the context of the entire Lizardman Kingdom, they can even serve as officers.
However, junior apprentices are different; they are the reserve of wise men who have been enlightened.
They are the aristocratic class in Lizardman society.
In Lizardman society, most are warriors, so wise reserve forces like junior apprentices are very popular.
After all, among the Lizardmen, there are very few who can successfully be enlightened and become junior apprentices.
Therefore, almost every lizardman takes pride in being an excellent wise man.
But the racial nature of the Lizardmen...is indeed not suitable for the birth of wise men.
Anyway, since the Lizardmen began recording history, there have only been a few thousand "wise men" born, less than ten thousand.
"clear!"
The strong lizardman warrior standing nearby responded and hurried down to arrange manpower.
"According to Lord Asmat, there's a brand new world on the other side of this rift. It seems the glory of the Lizardmen will soon spread to another world!"
Asmat, the great sage of the Lizardman Kingdom and the only ruler, is known as the Lord of the World.
And he, Aguza, is one of the four sages under the command of the great sage Asmat, and a noble existence second only to the emperor.
After the rift was discovered by Lord Asmat, he was directly appointed as the vanguard, responsible for the reconnaissance and subsequent conquest of the other world.
This immediately raised his status among the four great sages and made him the chief.
"After I conquer the other world, I might even be able to ascend and become the second Great Sage. Then... hehe!"
Aguza, who was daydreaming, was interrupted by a sudden sound.
"Sage, the second exploration team has assembled and is now awaiting your orders."
Aguza turned his head and saw that it was the strong lizardman warrior who had been serving beside him just now, followed by eleven young-looking lizardmen.
Ten of them are tall and strong, and one is thin and weak. You can tell which one is the junior apprentice at a glance.
Even junior apprentices are valuable talents in the Lizardman Kingdom, so Aguza must give them some life-saving things.
He reached into his arms, took out something that looked like an eyeball, and said:
"This is the Advanced Eye of Truth. It provides soul power that can detect and detect invisible units."
"Using soul power when in danger can also activate the internal restrictions, which will automatically release a powerful energy that can instantly kill surrounding enemies."
"But remember, this energy can only be used once, and it must be controlled carefully to avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces. It's best to use it at the most critical moment."
"In addition, if you can come back alive, I will give you more rewards."
After saying that, Aguza handed the Advanced Eye of Truth to the junior apprentice.
Then he took out a sharp dagger and a bottle of potion and said to the other lizardmen:
"These are for you. The daggers are poisoned, and the potions will heal the wounds."
"If you encounter difficulties that you cannot solve, use these to protect yourself."
Finally, Aguza patted their shoulders and added:
"That dagger is enchanted with a spell that attacks the soul. If you encounter an enemy you cannot match, use that dagger to end your life. Don't leave any clues for the otherworldly beings."
This kind of dagger is very expensive, so he took out part of his accumulated wealth just to add an extra layer of protection.
Anyone who can become a sage can never be a fool.
Aguza still has some basic investment concepts. In his mind, the other world on the other side of the crack is almost full of treasures, just waiting for him to lead people to explore.
In order to successfully conquer the other world, it is not a bad idea to sacrifice a little bit of your own treasures.
"Understood, Sage Aguza! We will definitely not let you down!"
These more than ten young lizardmen had solemn expressions on their faces and lined up one by one to step into the crack.
Aguza just watched the backs of the eleven young lizardmen gradually disappear from his sight.
For some reason, his soul sent him a crazy warning, which scared Aguza.
You know, ever since he was promoted to a sage, his soul has never warned him so harshly again.
Even the great sage Asmat had never given him this feeling.
"No... no way."
Aguza seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He raised his head abruptly and stared at the still calm crack. His face suddenly turned pale and his whole body began to tremble.
