…
Underground cave.
"Report!"
A lizardman knelt on one knee, facing the great elder sitting on the throne.
"I have failed the Great Elder's trust and have not yet found any of Lizard Yellow's fellow tribesmen..."
"What?" The Great Elder stood up and said angrily:
"What's going on?"
The lizardman stammered:
"It seems to have appeared out of nowhere..."
"It has no relatives... and no one knows it..."
"How is it possible..." The elder's face turned grim and he fell into deep thought.
No relatives and no one knows you?
So where did this lizard yellow come from?
Could it be that they infiltrated from other Rock Lizard territories?
Could it be that they discovered something?
This shouldn't be the case. I've already issued a blockade regarding the news of our emperor's death in battle, and have also forbidden our clansmen from leaving the country. Outsiders shouldn't know about this...
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, if people find out that their emperor has died in battle and their troops are seriously under-strength, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Report to the Great Elder!"
A lizardman came over and said excitedly:
"The result of the competition between Lizard Arts and Lizard Earth has come out, Lizard Arts has won!"
"Yes." The Great Elder nodded. This result was expected.
It slowly sat back on its throne, thinking about Lizard Shu's appointment as the Lizard King, and how to deal with this complicated situation...
At this moment, a flurry of footsteps sounded.
"Oh no! Oh no..."
A lizardman stumbled in.
The elder, whose thoughts were interrupted, suppressed his impatience and looked at the unfamiliar lizardman and asked:
"What happened again?"
"Which wing are you from?"
The lizardman quickly replied:
"In reply to the Great Elder, my name is Xigui, and I'm in the transport team responsible for delivering food to the guards!"
"Yes." The elder nodded to show that he understood.
"What I want to report is that Captain Lizard and his men, who were guarding the space rift, have disappeared!"
"What?" The Great Elder stood up again and said in disbelief:
"What do you mean by vanish?"
Xigui swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice:
"I just went to deliver food to the soldiers guarding the space rift."
"I found...I found that there was no one there..."
"All the guards have disappeared!"
The Great Elder rushed to the lizardman, grabbed its arm and said anxiously:
"Are there any signs of a struggle at the scene?
Xi Gui shook his head: "I have carefully inspected it and found nothing unusual..."
"Those guards seemed to have disappeared out of thin air..."
"How is it possible..." The Great Elder let go of his hand, lost in thought for a moment, and muttered to himself:
"Could it be that all the guards on Lizard's side have rebelled?..."
Bang!
A sudden change occurred!
The Great Elder suddenly felt a strong impact on his chest. As soon as a sharp pain came, his whole body flew backwards.
In mid-air, the Great Elder spat out blood and looked with difficulty at the person who attacked him.
After seeing it clearly, his eyes were bloodshot and he roared:
"Xizile Return! What are you doing?"
"Why did you sneak attack me?"
Several lizardmen standing nearby were also stunned by the sudden change.
The Great Elder was attacked by someone in his own territory?
This kind of thing...
Even if they were given a hundred courages, they would not dare to imagine it.
For a moment, he was stunned where he was.
Xi Gui stood with his hands behind his back, and did not answer the Great Elder's question. Instead, he shook his head and said with regret:
"Great Elder, you are really lucky."
"I wanted to rip your heart out..."
Then, it changed the subject:
"Goodbye!"
Then he turned around neatly.
With a whoosh, he rushed out of the passage and disappeared without a trace...
Even the Great Elder was stunned by this sudden change, not to mention the other lizardmen.
Boom!
The Great Elder's body flew backwards and hit the rock wall of the cave, creating a hole in the hard rock wall.
“Cough… cough…”
"Great Elder!" Several lizardmen woke up at this time, screaming and rushing towards the Great Elder, wanting to check his injuries.
“Don’t come over here!”
The elder stood up with great difficulty. A hole as big as a bowl was bleeding from his chest.
It ignored it and roared:
"Send someone to catch the murderer immediately!"
"Send someone to thoroughly investigate the murderer!"
"Also, notify everyone in the clan: Do not leave the surface. The identities of all members of the clan must be checked!"
"All unidentified persons will be taken to the dungeon for investigation!"
The lizardman beside him was stunned and asked hesitantly:
"Great Elder, are you saying that we need to investigate the identities of all members of the clan?"
It's no wonder that it hesitated. Although hundreds of thousands of troops entered the space crack and have not returned yet, the Rock Lizard Clan is unprecedentedly weak and its population has dropped sharply.
But even so, the entire tribe, young and old, still has over a million people...
If this is investigated, it will be a huge project.
Moreover, no one is allowed to go out, which has a huge impact...
The Great Elder's face turned pale. How could he not know the pros and cons of this?
However, if an outsider sneaks in and wants to swallow up their clan...
The consequences would be even more unimaginable!
"I said a thorough investigation, so go ahead and pass the order!"
"Don't talk nonsense here!"
"Yes!" The lizardman who asked the question saw that the great elder was angry, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly took the order and left without hesitation.
“Damn it…”
The Great Elder covered the bloody hole on his chest and said hatefully:
"If my body hadn't forcibly moved my heart out of crisis instinct,"
"I'm afraid Xigui's attack will kill me..."
"Who exactly are this Xigui, and the Xihuang before him..."
Rustle, rustle.
A noisy sound of footsteps interrupted the Great Elder's thoughts.
At this time, two lizardmen came in from the cave.
"Great Elder, I've got the healer here!"
"Yes." The elder nodded gently.
The person who spoke motioned for the healer to come forward: “Quick, go and check on the Great Elder’s injuries.
"yes!"
The therapist nodded, bent over and walked quickly forward.
The Great Elder looked at the rapidly approaching healer, a trace of doubt flashing through his mind:
Another unfamiliar face. Why are there so many unfamiliar faces today... huh?
wrong!
The Great Elder suddenly woke up and shouted angrily:
"stop!"
