Chapter 151: I've Been Waiting for You, Invading the Little Fang Tribe
2024-12-13 Author: Amnesty L
The first to come to his senses was the Hunting Chief Lizardman. He had already realized he had completely misjudged his opponent's strength, but given the current situation, it was too late to redeploy.
He saw the human, now exposed, not far away.
The Hunting Chief Lizardman's eyes turned red. His running speed didn't slow; instead, he accelerated again, continuing his charge toward Tang Zheng.
The opponent's summon was still in the sky, and that vicious wolf-like monster was not by his side either. This was the perfect chance!
As long as he could eliminate this human, that powerful summon would disappear on its own.
"Die, outsider!"
"This Great Wetland will be your grave!"
The Hunting Chief Lizardman roared, tightly gripping the axe in his hand.
In a matter of breaths.
The Hunting Chief Lizardman had already charged right in front of Tang Zheng.
"You must be their leader, right? I've been waiting for you, my friend," Tang Zheng chuckled as he faced the murderous Hunting Chief Lizardman.
Friend?
What kind of joke was this? Had the opponent been scared witless?
The thought flashed through the Hunting Chief Lizardman's mind, but the motion of his hands didn't hesitate in the slightest. He forcefully raised his axe, preparing to swing it down.
"Charm Species."
Tang Zheng said flatly.
The Hunting Chief Lizardman's swinging motion froze, and he stopped rigidly in place.
"Help me deal with your companions. Remember to leave them barely alive," Tang Zheng waved a hand at the Hunting Chief Lizardman.
The Hunting Chief Lizardman nodded, turned around, raised his axe again, and charged toward the other lizardmen who had yet to react.
Confused and furious roars mingled with miserable shrieks of pain, ringing out under the relentless swings of the Hunting Chief Lizardman's axe.
*Swoosh!*
The figure of the Flame Archangel descended from the sky again, hovering beside Tang Zheng.
"Is it just this group of lizardmen?"
Tang Zheng glanced at the Flame Archangel. He hadn't sent it into the air just to send those few lizardmen falling to their deaths.
It was also to observe the surroundings for any other lizardmen, or any lurking demi-humans or monsters.
"Awooo."
A low growl from the Ghoul Dog came from the shore. It returned to Tang Zheng's side, dragging three barely breathing lizardmen with its bone chain.
"Woof."
The Ghoul Dog fawningly placed the three lizardmen in front of Tang Zheng.
After interacting for so long, the Ghoul Dog had clearly come to understand some of Tang Zheng's preferences.
"Well done."
Tang Zheng offered a word of praise. A magic greatsword materialized in his palm, and with a casual swing, its blade sliced across the throats of the three lizardmen.
Blood sprayed out!
Gained 321 Experience
Gained 309 Experience
Gained 315 Experience
"Their strength is about the same as an ogre's? Demi-humans are impressive, as expected," Tang Zheng was a little surprised.
On the other side.
The Hunting Chief Lizardman, with his superior strength, cut down the ordinary lizardmen one by one and dragged the entire group before Tang Zheng.
"What are you doing? Ah! Chief!"
"You've betrayed the tribe."
"Hunting Chief, wake up!"
"..."
"It's all because of you, human... What did you do?"
Pained wails and angry curses continuously poured from the mouths of these severely injured lizardmen.
Expressionless, Tang Zheng swung his magic greatsword.
There were sixteen lizardmen in total. Aside from the Hunting Chief Lizardman, the other fifteen were all killed, granting him 4680 experience points.
【Experience Bar: 137405/70000】
"You've worked hard. Now, can you tell me about the Four Great Treasures of the Lizardmen?" Tang Zheng asked the Hunting Chief Lizardman curiously.
He was most interested in these four magic items.
Especially the treasure that was stolen by the Twin Witches from the depths of the Great Swamp, which was never mentioned in the anime or the light novel.
However!
The Hunting Chief Lizardman's answer greatly disappointed Tang Zheng. He didn't know much, only able to give their names, and was completely ignorant of their specific abilities.
Let alone the lost lizardman treasure, this Hunting Chief Lizardman didn't even know much about the other three.
He knew even less than Tang Zheng himself.
Considering that these lizardmen were inherently xenophobic and conservative, rarely even contacting other tribes, let alone other races, Tang Zheng understood.
"Forget it. Tell me about the specific situation of your tribe," Tang Zheng shook his head and asked again.
Soon.
Tang Zheng learned the details of the Hunting Chief Lizardman's tribe from his own mouth.
He was from the Little Fang Tribe. The entire tribe consisted of 65 lizardman warriors, one priest, 111 combat-capable male lizardmen, and 94 combat-capable female lizardmen. Including the elderly, young, and other non-combatants, there were over 320 lizardmen in total.
Of course, this number also included the 16 members of the hunting squad.
"Weaker than I estimated." Hearing this information, Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly.
With the physical advantages of a demi-human race like the lizardmen, their average level after reaching adulthood was at least eight or higher. Compared to human soldiers, they were indeed the elite of the elite.
But the total population of their tribe was too small, and those who could be called strong were pitifully few.
In the anime, the five tribe leaders of the lizardmen tribes, along with a group of lizardmen, barely managed to defeat a Dead Grand Magician that was under Level 30.
"Take me to your tribe."
Tang Zheng wasted no more words and spoke to the Hunting Chief Lizardman.
The Little Fang Tribe was actually less than five kilometers away from their current position.
Near the lake.
Dozens of houses built entirely of wood appeared in their line of sight.
The appearance of the Hunting Chief Lizardman immediately attracted the attention of the two lizardman warriors stationed outside the main gate.
"Guli, you're back! Did you catch that hum..."
One of the lizardmen guarding the gate saw the Hunting Chief Lizardman, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.
After all, the news that the entire hunting squad had been deployed to capture a human had already spread throughout the tribe. Everyone wanted to see what the mysterious human looked like.
However!
He was only halfway through his sentence when the lizardman warrior saw Tang Zheng, the Ghoul Dog, and the conspicuous Flame Archangel behind the Hunting Chief Lizardman.
Their appearances were clearly different from their own.
This allowed the two lizardman warriors to immediately confirm that the other party was a human, but the situation before them left them a bit stunned.
"Where are the others from the hunting squad? Guli?"
The other lizardman warrior asked in confusion.
The hunting squad went to capture a human, but no matter how they looked at it, the human's current state didn't seem like he had been captured.
*Bang—*
The Hunting Chief Lizardman, who had been walking normally, suddenly stomped on the ground and shot forward.
Before one of the lizardman warriors could react, he was struck down by the axe in the Hunting Chief Lizardman's hand.
"What are you doing? Guli!" the other lizardman warrior roared, an incredulous look on his face.
*Swoosh!*
The Flame Archangel's figure flew over, swinging its flame sword down and splitting the lizardman warrior in two on the spot.
The entire Little Fang Tribe wasn't large, so the sudden turn of events immediately attracted the attention of many, followed by a series of screams.
In a matter of moments.
The entire tribe was thrown into chaos.
Lizardman warriors, armed with weapons, began to gather from within the tribe.
"Guli!!"
"You actually killed your own companion!"
"What on earth happened?"
"Where are the others from the hunting squad?"
"..."
A cacophony of voices merged as all the lizardmen stared blankly at the sudden development.
Tang Zheng arrived outside the gate with the Ghoul Dog. Seeing the lizardman warriors gradually gathering inside, he expressionlessly waved his arm. "Begin."
*Swoosh!*
The Flame Archangel flapped the bright yellow wings on its back, raised its flame sword, and charged directly into the crowd of lizardman warriors.
Every time the flame sword swung down, it easily claimed the life of a lizardman warrior!
It looked like a massacre.
It was indeed a massacre for a Level 21 Flame Archangel facing lizardman warriors whose average level was only around ten.
Screams and wails of agony instantly filled the air!
The tribe leader of the Little Fang Tribe, Su Kui·Zhu Zhu, and the sole Priest Lizardman also rushed out of a room at this moment.
Seeing the bloody scene that met their eyes.
"Damn bastard!!"
Su Kui·Zhu Zhu's eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed the slingshot hanging at his waist and prepared to charge forward.
But the Priest Lizardman immediately stopped Su Kui·Zhu Zhu.
"Don't be rash!"
The Priest Lizardman's body trembled slightly as he spoke in an aged voice, "This strange, winged creature covered in armor is an angel."
Angel?
Su Kui·Zhu Zhu reacted, his heart sinking. The hunting squad he had sent out was supposed to capture the human who could summon an angel.
And with this angel now appearing in the tribe, the fate of the hunting squad was easy to imagine...
"This is a monster that can only be summoned with Third Tier magic! Have the tribesmen take shelter!"
The Priest Lizardman forcefully tapped the staff in his hand, his old, hoarse voice snapping Su Kui·Zhu Zhu back to his senses.
"This old one will hold it off for now, but I can't hold on for long."
"You must find that human. Only by killing him can we deal with this powerful summoned monster."
"Understood!"
After hearing the Priest Elder's words, Su Kui·Zhu Zhu calmed down. He quickly rushed into the chaotic crowd of lizardmen and began arranging for some warriors to evacuate the women and children first.
The Priest Lizardman took a deep breath. Holding the magic item in his hand that resembled both a walking stick and a staff, he strode forward, raised it high, and shouted, "Lower-Tier: Mass Pacification!"
A layer of pale green magic power light rapidly spread into the chaotic crowd, and all the lizardman warriors within its range calmed down.
The chaotic situation paused.
"Everyone, create distance from this angel monster and use ranged attacks."
The Priest Lizardman's aged voice rang out, a loud reminder.
As soon as he spoke!
All the lizardman warriors, as if they had found their backbone, began to quickly spread out.
Those with ranged weapons like bows, arrows, or slingshots began attacking the Flame Archangel. The lizardman warriors without ranged attacks did their best to throw any nearby objects they could at it.
