Chapter 158: It's not a tribal thing. Cave lizard people? Spying in the dark
The oldest priest lizardman spoke, dispelling some of the oppressive atmosphere in the cabin.
Xia Siliu Xia Xia remained silent. He knew that even as the patriarch, in such a special situation, it would be easier for the old priest of the Elders' Council to speak and calm people's hearts.
"An, settled in."
A black-skinned lizardman warrior sitting in the corner of the wooden house subconsciously raised his head and stammered, "There are 50 people who have fled from the Xiaoya tribe."
"Among them, there are 30 female Lizardmen, 15 children, and five older male Lizardmen.
"The people who fled from the Longya tribe are being received one after another, but the statistics have not been compiled yet."
This lizardman warrior was a little nervous when he started talking, but as he spoke more and more fluently, there was even a hint of excitement in his tone.
The lizardmen present naturally knew the reason.
Those who came to escape were basically female lizardmen from the two major tribes, and there were very few male lizardmen.
This seemed like a good thing to ordinary lizardmen, but in the eyes of everyone, it conveyed a very scary message.
"This is not normal." The hunting lizard man said in a rough, buzzing voice.
Of course this is not normal!
Salius Xia Xia's thighs tilted sideways while he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and his scales collided with the weapon hanging on his waist, making a slight "crack" sound.
The cold chill made him pause in his attempt to speak, and he suppressed the irritation in his heart.
It was a pale weapon that emitted a faint glow, like a combination of a sharp blade and a trident. It was the most precious treasure of their lizard clan, the "Frozen Fang".
"In either case, women and children are always the most likely to be killed."
As the tribe leader, Xia Siliu Xia Xia used his thick tail to support the ground, straightened his upper body, and paused for a moment and said: "At least those strong lizardmen warriors should be able to escape more easily, but no!"
"The other party really showed mercy—"
Speaking of the words "show mercy".
Xia Siliu Xia Xia clenched his fists. He was angry, but at the same time, an inexplicable chill surged from deep in his heart.
Judging from the current situation, all the lizardmen warriors of the two major tribes should have been killed in the battle, and there is only one possibility for such a strange situation.
It was that mysterious human, who was much stronger than described in the intelligence, and so accurate that not a single Lizardman warrior escaped.
So much so that they were out of "kindness" and let the weak women and children go.
Show strength?
Or do you not care at all?
Whatever it is, it's not good news for them.
"The opponent should be a chanter who uses third-tier magic. He can summon two angel monsters at once." A priest lizardman added with a trembling voice.
Among the priests present, the strongest old priest Lizardman only possesses the strength of the second rank.
"Based on the intelligence we know so far, the other party has only demonstrated this ability. It is very likely that there are other unknown means."
Another priest lizardman spoke up: "In particular, the people of the Dragon Fang Tribe mentioned that their tribe's warriors killed several angel monsters in succession, but were still defeated by the constantly replenished angel monsters."
"It is speculated that the human possesses a relatively large amount of magic power."
As information was released one after another, people's panic about the unknown disappeared a lot.
Seeing this, the old priest lizard man said softly: "After all, the opponent is only one person. Although the third-level magic chanter is powerful, it is not impossible to deal with him."
"The Xiaoya tribe and the Longya tribe had no intelligence, so they collapsed quickly when they were attacked. Now that we have intelligence about the other side, it is not difficult to come up with a countermeasure."
Having said this.
Before everyone could be happy, Zaryusu Xia Xia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Because there is only one person on the other side, is it possible that the other party is stronger than the information currently shown?"
The atmosphere froze! "It's not your turn as a traveler to speak here!" The burly hunting lizard man looked at the other party with dissatisfaction and spoke almost in a roar.
"I'm just speculating," Zaryusu Shasha said expressionlessly.
"So - even if you're stronger, are you going to run away?" The hunting lizardman glared.
"Are you stupid? If the opponent is stronger, the current countermeasures may not work. We need to be more properly prepared."
"The Zhutong and Ruiwei tribes also need to be notified. We must make sure that human is killed and not let him escape due to negligence!"
Zaryusu Shasha responded loudly.
“That’s enough!!”
The old priest lizardman looked at the two people who were still arguing and shouted angrily.
The room was silent.
"Chief, what do you think?" The old priest lizardman looked at Shasilu Shasha.
“Zaryusu is right. There is only one man on the other side. If he escapes, it will be a real disaster. We must make sure to kill him in one go.”
Xia Siliu Xia Xia raised his head and said seriously: "This is not a matter for our tribe alone."
As things get finalized.
The entire Green Claw Tribe began to mobilize, and two teams of Lizardmen headed towards the Red Eye Tribe and the Sharp Tail Tribe respectively.
This time it concerns the destruction of two large tribes. No matter how tense the relationship between the tribes is, under the current circumstances, the tribal leaders know what to do.
On the other hand, the Green Claw Tribe mobilized all the Lizardmen warriors to be on guard day and night to guard against the sudden attack of the human.
On the other hand, a hunting team was sent to carefully go to the destroyed Longya tribe to gather information.
People from the three major tribes began to gather.
In this chaotic situation, within the Green Claw tribe.
A thin-looking lizardman, carrying a fish basket on his back, occasionally greeted the lizardman warriors patrolling the streets and walked out of the village.
The current situation is not suitable for leaving the tribe.
However! For lizard people who like to eat raw food and pursue fresh fish, obtaining food is also a big deal.
Fortunately, the tribe was built near the lake.
The lizardman soon came to a nearby lake. After quickly observing that there were no other lizardmen around, he jumped into the lake with a "splash".
A black figure swam quickly in the lake, heading towards the deep end.
When the lizard man swam out of the lake again, his originally strong body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The rough black scales on the forehead began to shrink and sharp spikes appeared.
In just a blink of an eye, the lizard man shrank by half, and from a distance, it looked like a smaller version of the lizard man.
No! The other party is not a lizardman at all, but a rare cave lizardman living in the upper lake area deep in the great wetlands.
The pointed tips on the head are proof of this.
The cave lizard man raised his slender hand with sharp nails, on which was a ring emitting a dark light.
This is a magic prop! It is with these magic props that he can disguise himself as a lizardman and live in the other tribe.
"You are a bunch of simple-minded fools. The Lower Lake Wetland should be under our rule."
The cave lizard man sneered in a low, hoarse voice, with a certain hope in his eyes. He carefully looked around and quickly moved towards the depths of the upper lake.
Compared with the suitable and safe Lower Lake Wetland, the Upper Lake Wetland is inhabited by a large number of dangerous monsters and frogmen who also disgust him.
soon.

The cave lizard man passed by the territory of a frog man and immediately saw a frog man who was about the same size as the lizard man.
The other party was lying lazily in the mud, rolling a few times from time to time. Not far away there were several frogmen doing the same movements.
These frog people obviously discovered the cave lizard people at the first moment, but after just taking a look, they lazily withdrew their gaze and did not care at all.
"hateful!"
The cave lizardman cursed in his heart, but he was very cautious and passed through the area quickly, not daring to come into contact with any frog people.
Unlike the xenophobic and old-fashioned lizardmen, frogmen are not xenophobic and will not show excessive hostility towards passing wild beasts, monsters or other creatures.
Frogmen are friendly? No! They are even colder-blooded than the old-fashioned lizardmen.
This group of frog people may seem friendly, but in fact, their race has no inherent sense of hierarchy, let alone the concept of friendliness.
They just aren't hungry right now!
Of course, the premise is that the creatures passing through their territory are not threatening, otherwise these frog people will also make crazy actions at the first opportunity.
Whether it is lizard people or frog people, they are all fools in the eyes of cave lizard people. They are so smart, but they occupy the smallest territory.
The deep wetland jungle environment began to become complicated.
The cave lizardmen, on the other hand, moved quickly and skillfully, and soon came to a place covered with strange vines and mosses, hidden in a thick fog.
Located deep in the forest, in front of an abandoned castle about three stories high.
Come here!
An expression of awe immediately appeared on the cave lizard man's face, and even his movements became cautious.
"Hehe, what did I see?"
"A cute little lizard."
Suddenly, a somewhat eerie and strange low laugh sounded from behind the cave lizard man.
There was clearly nothing behind him just now.
This thought flashed through the cave lizard man's mind, but his body moved faster than the thought. He immediately knelt on the ground and buried his head deeply.
"Great Master, something happened with the Lizardmen."
"Oh, what happened?"
"I hope it's something worth my attention." The strange giggle became ethereal.
The cave lizard man recounted what had happened.
"It's really interesting, go away."
Hearing this.
The cave lizard man lowered his head, not daring to raise it, and turned around and left quickly.
At the deep gate of the ancient castle, a slender figure appeared, but the shadow split into two when it fell to the ground.
"You heard it." A strange giggle came.
"I'm not interested in such boring things. You've already wasted too much of my time. You'd better hope that the latest results will satisfy me."
A plain voice came from the third floor of the castle.
Snap!
The rotten windows pushed open.
In the shadows, a man wearing a black robe, with a hooked nose and a gloomy face appeared.
Human!
I'm afraid no one could have imagined that there were humans deep in the wetlands.
The debris and dust that fell from the rotten window frame were directly shaken away by the magical fluctuations surging from the black-robed man.
Just standing by the window.
An invisible air pressure and magical power began to spread all around, adding a sense of horror to the surrounding air.
"Angels? People from the Theocracy?"
"I hope it won't disrupt my plan." The hook-nosed wizard looked into the depths of the jungle with his light brown pupils, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
…………
Dragon Tooth Tribe.
Tang Zheng put down the scroll in his hand and rubbed his temple.
During this time, he has been studying the magical knowledge and skills passed down by the Lizardmen. Fortunately, he specially kept a priest Lizardman.
"Two days have passed. I wonder what the Lizardmen are doing?"
Tang Zheng straightened his back, stretched, raised his hand and touched the head of the evil dog lying next to him.
