Chapter 102: A Delicious Meal in Exchange
With the help of the three, the Lizard King finally had an opening and began a powerful counterattack.
With each swing of its thick tail, it could crush and kill or injure many sand scorpions.
Before long, they repelled the siege of the sand scorpions.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Sand Scorpion King let out a sharp screech, and the sand scorpions all disappeared under the sand, quickly retreating from the Lizard King's territory.
It was too lazy to chase them, after all, there were too many sand scorpions, and if they scattered to escape, they would be difficult to catch.
A fierce battle, evenly matched, was surprisingly decided in a short time after the addition of three more people.
With a slight tremor, the Lizard King sent Ah Chen and the other two flying into the air. Just as Nie Xiaoxiao was about to curse "ungrateful wretch," she saw the Lizard King raise one of its forepaws, easily catch the three of them, and lift them up in front of its large head.
"Oh no, oh no, is this going to be eaten as a snack?" Nie Xiaoxiao exclaimed.
"Hehe! You little brat, you're so small, I'd rather not eat you than let you get stuck in my teeth!" The Lizard King suddenly spoke in human language, and the three of them were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
"I remember that only seventh-tier demonic beasts can speak human language? How come you can speak at only sixth-tier?" Nie Xiaoxiao asked fearlessly, since she had a teleportation jade talisman in her palm and could escape the clutches of the demon at any time.
"When I was at the third level, I unexpectedly obtained a Spirit Fruit. After eating it, I was able to understand the languages of various races."
"That's why I've escaped countless attacks and gained many opportunities that weren't originally mine," said the Lizard King.
“Senior, we are just passing through and want to go to the next level of the Spirit Realm. We have no conflict of interest with you.”
"Since we helped you with this small favor, could you please take us to the entrance to the next floor?"
Ah Chen bowed to it, saying that although the difference in their body sizes was too great for it to see clearly, the necessary respect and courtesy were still essential.
“You are a very sensible little boy. What you ask for is nothing more than a small matter. I will grant your request without hesitation.”
"However, I once tasted human food, and it was extremely delicious. If you can cook me a meal, I will grant your request," said the Lizard King.
Ah Chen looked up at its enormous head and was a little worried. Although he had brought food, it was so big that it wouldn't be enough to fill his teeth.
Seemingly sensing his confusion, the Lizard King transformed into a burly middle-aged man on the spot in the next second.
"You, you, you, you said you ate a Spirit Fruit, how come you can transform into human form again?" Nie Xiaoxiao was so surprised that she stammered.
"Haha! Little girl, who said that if I ate the Spirit Fruit, I can't eat the Transformation Fruit?"
"It is because of the Spirit Fruit that I can understand the languages of various races, which is why I was able to obtain a Transformation Fruit amidst the many battles between humans and demons," the Lizard King laughed loudly.
After he transformed into human form, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although they knew that the saying "those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts" was biased, the pressure they felt from having such a huge figure standing in front of them was greatly reduced compared to now having a human form standing in front of them.
"Since you treat us with such sincerity, we juniors will naturally do our best to meet your needs."
"But we have two more companions who are not far from here. Could we meet up first and then have dinner?" Ah Chen said.
"Hehe, you mean the two of them?" The Lizard King suddenly stuck out his tongue, which instantly grew to an infinite length before snapping back, carrying two people with it.
Leng Qiuchan and Ni Zhiyong naturally received Achen's message, but they were also determined to stay until the end, watch more excitement, and then go back to brag, so they were reluctant to leave.
Seeing the dust billowing around them, they didn't dare get too close. They waited until things quieted down before they were about to risk coming over to check the situation when they saw a red line rushing towards them.
Before the two could react, they were lifted into the air by the Lizard King's tongue. When they tried to crush the teleportation talisman to escape, they found themselves unable to move due to the immense pressure.
"Aaaaaah! Are we going to die?" Leng Qiuchan screamed.
At the moment danger struck, Ni Zhiyong's masculine spirit surged, and he bravely stood in front of her, and the two of them became entangled together.
Her chest was pressed tightly against his back. Ni Zhiyong thought to himself that being able to die with Junior Sister Leng was a blessing from heaven. At least he would have a companion on the road to the underworld.
The moment the Lizard King placed them on the ground, the pressure around them vanished instantly. Leng Qiuchan didn't crush the teleportation talisman; instead, she immediately threw herself into Ni Zhiyong's arms.
She clung to him tightly, sobbing, "Waaah! Senior Brother Ni, have we arrived in the underworld?"
"Haha! Senior Sister Leng, I never expected to meet you again in the Underworld, what a coincidence!" Nie Xiaoxiao said mischievously.
"Huh? Really? All three of you are here! That's great, now I won't be alone on the road to the underworld." Leng Qiuchan pushed Ni Zhiyong away and said with a look of surprise.
Ni Zhiyong: You stole my lines!
