Chapter 85 Centipede People Tribe
Everyone here is quite capable, so their travel speed is also very fast.
In less than a day, they easily traversed thousands of miles to multiple locations.
Later, to increase the speed, Loya will also use a large-scale support spell to increase everyone's speed.
The very next day, they arrived near their destination.
Perhaps they arrived here out of consideration for Sofia.
The monsters that had gathered all restrained their ferocity and obediently waited for Sophia to give them orders.
This also foreshadows the fact that their fierce retreat will inevitably erupt when all-out war breaks out.
...
Loya led his men to a shore on the east side of Emerald Lake, intending to set up camp there.
"Uh, where? It seems to be the territory of a vicious insectoid race?!" Nearby, some monsters spotted Loya and his companions' direction. They were all utterly shocked.
"Are they too ignorant, or too arrogant?" a dark elf observed with amusement.
"Hehehe, this is going to be good." The numerous monsters revealed a meaningful, wicked smile.
...
"Hey, this is the territory of my Centipede People tribe. You all better shut up, or I'll wipe you out."
Loya and his group arrived at their destination, but before they could even sit down for a drink of water, the ground nearby collapsed.
Then, a half-insect human, with the upper body of a young man and the lower body of a centipede, darted out.
This guy is very powerful; he's a Silver-level transcendent being. He's covered in poisonous fumes and looks extremely dangerous.
His arrival also made the air nearby murky.
The weaker subordinates felt dizzy and lightheaded after only a few breaths.
Clearly, this is poisoning.
“My master, this is the Centipede People tribe. They are basically social creatures. In short, there must be a large number of Centipede People hiding underground and nearby.” Int knew a lot about the monsters in the area. As soon as he saw the other party, he quickly approached Loya and explained, “As far as I know, there is only one Centipede People tribe within a radius of 10,000 miles. That’s amazing. It is said that their chieftain is a transcendent master, and not just any ordinary transcendent master.”
Loya nodded: "I understand."
Int clenched his fists excitedly; he loved fighting and watching others suffer.
At the same time, he was also eager to witness the true power of his new master.
Now that the centipede man seems to have delivered himself to his doorstep, he has developed a strong sense of anticipation.
He seemed to already foresee Loya displaying his skills and teaching the centipede tribe a lesson.
Loya stepped forward, facing the centipede-like people who had suddenly appeared, and said, "Tell your tribe that I have taken over this land."
When the centipede man saw Loya, who on the surface didn't seem to be the strongest dragon, come to negotiate, he was somewhat surprised. In his opinion, only the most powerful gold-level dragons like Int and Monrent were qualified to talk to him.
Of course, considering that the other party was a red dragon capable of fighting beyond its level, he understood that Loya could not be described by ordinary standards.
However, that was nothing. After hearing Loya's words, he remained assertive, "Don't think that just because you're a dragon, you can do whatever you want to my race. Let me tell you, your reputation is useless. On the contrary, my race, out of respect for the dragon race, will allow you to leave safely. And this is our greatest mercy."
The centipede-man tribe certainly has the right to be domineering, but the reason they dare to act this way is that although Loya is huge, he is still far smaller than a true adult dragon.
According to the centipede tribe's understanding of the red dragon.
Even if a dragon of Loya's size can fight opponents of higher levels, it can only be considered comparable to a master at best.
Moreover, he's not even a superb master above level four.
Such strength, among the many monster tribes present, is indeed not weak; in fact, it could be considered among the top experts. However, compared to the chieftain of the centipede-man tribe, he is still considerably inferior.
Because just three years ago, their centipede clan chief forcefully killed an elderly human powerhouse at the fifth level of the Grandmaster realm, thus creating a terrifying reputation.
Of course, that human powerhouse was just an ordinary guy, not the kind of person who had a lot of trump cards and was outstanding among those of the same realm.
But this is still quite astonishing.
"Uh, what's wrong with the Dragon Clan? How dare a mere Silver-level Centipede Human spout such arrogant talk?!" Loya couldn't help but laugh. He felt that the Dragon Clan had truly declined, unable to even rely on its prestige to intimidate its enemies.
"You are the new ruler of the Flame Serpent Canyon, and the master nemesis who has powerfully killed many top masters. This centipede tribe is indeed very arrogant and ignorant. They have never heard of your reputation, or perhaps they do not believe in your power? Do they think you are just spreading rumors?" Munker, carrying a big club, jumped to Loya's side.
Yes, after arriving at the Flame Serpent Canyon, these members of the family all learned more or less about what Loya had done there. This made them very clear about Loya's power.
"The new ruler of the Flame Serpent Canyon?" The Silver-level Centipede Man was stunned upon hearing this.
They had certainly heard of this man's reputation, though they thought the dragon was just boasting and didn't live up to it. However, this didn't change the fact that the legendary dragon Roloroa was incredibly strong, a powerful being not to be trifled with.
"You are actually Lord Roloroa?" The centipede-man's tone unconsciously became cautious and respectful.
Actually, he was also quite helpless. Although he had heard of Roloroa's reputation, he had never seen Roloroa's true appearance.
In addition, Loya's current size is unlike that of a giant dragon that suppresses the Flame Serpent Canyon.
Therefore, he didn't recognize Loya's true identity at first. If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have dared to be so rude.
In fact, most of the superhumans present did not know that this seemingly teenage dragon, Loya, was none other than Roloroya, the newly rising ruler of the Flame Serpent Canyon.
Otherwise, everyone would definitely be very respectful.
On the road, no fool will dare to walk right into your trap and court death.
"Isn't that obvious? Besides Lady Sophia, the green dragon, how many other dragons are there nearby?" Int jumped out, shouting arrogantly, "If you know what's good for you, have your chieftain come out and apologize. Otherwise, my master will definitely wipe you out."
“I should apologize.” A magnetic female voice echoed from underground.
Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled and a large crack appeared.
One by one, centipede-like people emerged from the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the number exceeded two hundred.
More than fifteen of them are of the gold grade.
There were actually two masters, one male and one female.
Among them, the women are the most beautiful and powerful.
Just now, it was these women who spoke, and she is the current chieftain of the Centipede People tribe.
"Wow, a Master Level 6, huh? Your strength is indeed impressive." Loya sized up the other man. Suddenly, a new pupil appeared in the center of his eye, overlapping to form [Double Pupil], greatly enhancing Loya's vision. This was none other than the [Advanced Wizardry Inscription: Double Pupil] that Loya had recently inscribed. This thing was both offensive and defensive, a very good support inscription.
"Naturally, I cannot compare to you." The chieftain said somewhat humbly, "I have heard that there are four overlords in the Flame Serpent Grand Canyon, all of whom are masters below the legendary level. You were able to suppress them and become the ruler of the Flame Serpent Grand Canyon, which is something a weak master like me cannot compare to. This time, it was my subordinate who acted on his own initiative, and I was unaware of it beforehand. I am truly sorry, and I ask that you not be angry, considering my ignorance. As for my Centipede People tribe, we are willing to relinquish this land and allow you to reside here temporarily."
The first silver-level centipede-man to appear nodded directly: "That's right, this was my own decision. If you want to vent your anger, you can just eat me."
Inter said impatiently, "You say it's a misunderstanding, and that's it? You just throw out some cannon fodder and expect the great dragon to show mercy. That's the biggest offense to my Lord Roloroya."
The centipede chieftain ignored the jeering Inter and kept looking at Loya, saying, "This time, we are all comrades-in-arms, summoned by Lady Sophia. Even if you don't give me face, you have to give Lady Sophia face."
Loya nodded: "Okay, present the treasure worth 500,000 gold coins immediately, and we'll call it even."
Upon hearing this, the centipede clan chief hesitated; 500,000 gold coins was no cheap sum. However, their clan was not weak, and they could certainly afford it, even if it meant gritting their teeth.
But to spend so much money over such a small matter would be a huge loss.
...
"Uh, the centipede tribe chief Prie has personally appeared?"
"I think I heard it. This strange teenage dragon is none other than the legendary Lord Roloroya."
"Wow, such an important person, yet he came in such a low-key manner."
"He was definitely playing dumb to fool the enemy. This time, the Centipede People tribe is in big trouble."
"These dragons are really cunning these days. I thought they were doomed. Alas, I was too naive and guessed wrong."
"Who isn't? I never expected that the legendary new ruler of the Flame Serpent Canyon would actually pretend to be weak."
...
The many extraordinary individuals who were nearby had long been paying attention to the conflict between Loya and the centipede-man.
When they discovered that the conflict had escalated and Loya's identity had been exposed, they were shocked and thought it was terrible; they would never see the centipede tribe running rampant again.
However, the appearance of Prii, the chieftain of the centipede people, and her negotiations with Loya immediately added to the tension and excitement.
"A fight would be great, let's see what master-level combat power is like." A monster, who seemed to thrive on chaos, was praying cautiously.
Loya had noticed the hesitation of the centipede chieftain Prie, who clearly did not agree with the solution he had proposed.
Oh, he overheard the clan chief's name by chance from a passerby thanks to his excellent hearing.
"I'll remember you. Even if I don't deal with you now for Lady Sophia's sake, I'll secretly find a chance to wipe you out when the real war starts. After all, the battlefield is so chaotic; it's quite normal for a transcendent master to die and a monster tribe to be wiped out." Loya wasn't one to mince words; he directly threatened. And his threat was not to be taken lightly.
Because he truly has the ability to make that threat a reality.
In an instant, the centipede-like people's expressions changed drastically upon hearing these words; some were angry, while others were uneasy.
The monsters around Loya, on the other hand, were restless and ready to kill.
This was bad news. Prie's expression changed drastically. She opened her mouth, wanting to reluctantly hand over the money to ensure her safety.
"Oh ho ho ho, what an arrogant young dragon." Suddenly, a slow, greasy male voice came from Emerald Lake not far away.
With a deafening roar, the water exploded. A gigantic white python, hundreds of meters long, leaped out from beneath the surface. Its immense power suppressed the entire area.
This guy's aura is far more powerful than that of ordinary masters.
Provoked by his words, dozens of master-level auras erupted from all directions to resist the pressure of the white giant python.
However, Loya remained unfazed and showed no intention of making a move.
"This is Zhalun, the ruler of the Suolang River. Legend has it that he is a master-level peak expert. Although he has never fought against the four overlords of the old era of the Flame Serpent Canyon, everyone believes that they are evenly matched and are all terrifying experts of the same level."
"Lady Sophia is amazing. With just one command, all sorts of monster masters have gathered here."
"Hahaha, this is the great dragon."
"No, this is the power of a great, adult legendary dragon."
...
The well-informed indigenous superhumans immediately recognized the white python's identity, and they were all shocked.
It has to be said that at this moment, the white giant python Zhalun seemed to be the only protagonist in the world, drawing all eyes to the entire audience.
