Chapter 160: The Giant Arms of the Wetland, an Agitated Crusch Lulu
Zaryusu Shasha tightly gripped the Frozen Fang in his right hand. His head, covered in hard, black scales, peeked out, his serpentine eyes gazing grimly at the unusually quiet Dragon Tooth Tribe.
Even though several days had passed!
Zaryusu Shasha felt as if he could still smell the scent of blood in the air, and hear the miserable cries and wails of his kinsmen from the Dragon Tooth Tribe.
Behind him.
Over 100 lizardman warriors held their breath, lying silently prone on the ground. Their task was to prevent the human from escaping and to block his path.
"Zaryusu, when do we move?" a lizardman warrior asked in a low voice, after glancing at the Frozen Fang.
As the race's sacred treasure, the greatest dream of any lizardman warrior was to wield this weapon!
It was precisely because Zaryusu Shasha possessed this weapon that he could command the lizardman warriors of the Three Great Tribes.
"Wait!"
Zaryusu Shasha fell silent for a moment before speaking calmly.
Their side was not the main battlefield; they were also a rearguard to prevent any unexpected developments.
The Three Great Tribes had gathered a force of nearly 500. While not an all-out mobilization, it was certainly an exaggeration for dealing with a single human.
At least, that's how it seemed to the ordinary lizardman.
But Zaryusu Shasha and the others didn't think so. The opponent had wiped out two great tribes; no amount of caution in dealing with such an enemy was excessive.
They had to ensure the enemy was eliminated in one fell swoop, at their most arrogant moment. If the human managed to escape, then what awaited them would be a calamity.
This was no alarmist talk, but a war for the very survival of the Tribe, even if the opponent was just one person!
In front of the Dragon Tooth Tribe.
Led by the tribe leaders of the Three Great Tribes, more than 300 lizardman warriors began to advance on the Dragon Tooth Tribe. Their pace was not fast.
Every so often, a priest would cast magic to scout the surrounding terrain for any hidden magic or traps.
The opponent was a magic caster, after all. No one could be certain what kind of measures he had prepared!
However!
As they drew closer and closer to the Dragon Tooth Tribe, they still hadn't found any traps. This strange situation made the hearts of the three tribe leaders at the front sink.
When the group was less than a hundred meters from the Dragon Tooth Tribe.
Xiasiliu Xia Xia raised a sturdy, black-scaled arm, halting the advance of all the lizardmen. "I'll be troubling you, Red Eye Tribe Leader."
"Leave it to me."
Crusch Lulu's voice came from within the straw that concealed her entire body:
"Third-tier Natural Beast Summoning: Giant Arms of the Wetland."
Boom!
A blue magic circle appeared on the ground. Amidst a surge of magic power, a gigantic crab emerged from within the circle. Its towering figure stood before them, five meters tall in height alone.
The sense of security brought by its massive size eased the tense hearts of the lizardmen present.
Under Crusch Lulu's command, the giant crab brandished its large pincers and scuttled rapidly towards the Dragon Tooth Tribe.
Clearly!
The three lizardman tribe leaders intended to use a summoning magic of the same third tier to ascertain the situation inside the Dragon Tooth Tribe, and to display their own side's power as well.
To be honest.
If it hadn't been for this unexpected gathering, neither the tribe leaders of Sharp Tail and Dragon Tooth would have imagined that the tribe leader of the Red Eye Tribe had been replaced, and by a priest who could use third-tier magic, no less.
It was precisely because of Crusch Lulu's existence that they had the confidence to completely eliminate the human who dared to offend them.
The massive figure of the giant crab charged toward the entrance of the Dragon Tooth Tribe, intending to use its physical advantage to smash right through.
Suddenly.
Whoosh!
A streak of white light shot out from within the Dragon Tooth Tribe. Before any of the lizardmen could react, the white streak had already collided with the giant crab.
Boom!
The giant crab raised its huge pincer and slammed it down with a thunderous crash.
However, with a "crack."
The giant pincer snapped in two in mid-air, crashing to the ground and splattering mud everywhere.
"Screech—"
The giant crab let out a painful screech, struggling to raise its other pincer to snap forward.
The streak of light was extremely fast, easily dodging the attack. A flicker of red flame in its hand, it forcefully chopped down on the giant crab's head.
The sturdy carapace shattered and burst open!
A yellowish-brown fluid, like mud, spewed from the giant crab's cut-open head.
Bang!
The giant crab's entire body dissolved into white smoke and vanished.
The air fell silent.
Crusch Lulu took a step back. Even though her entire body was covered in straw, Xiasiliu Xia Xia, standing to the side, could imagine the expression on her face.
Everyone's gaze turned to the streak of white light!
A creature completely covered in silver armor, holding a burning flame longsword, with even its wings covered by large plates of silver armor, slowly descended from the sky.
"Is that... an Angel?" Kyuku Zuzu looked up, his speech slightly slurred.
Just by seeing this Angel's presence, everyone felt an intangible pressure!
"How can this be?" Xiasiliu Xia Xia gripped the heavy longsword in his hand, finding it unbelievable.
Although he also possessed the abilities of a priest, he didn't know much about summoned monsters. Under normal circumstances, the strength difference between two summoned monsters of the third tier should not be that great.
Not a complete one-sided slaughter like this.
"Could it be..." Xiasiliu Xia Xia's wrist trembled as a terrifying and unbelievable thought surfaced in his mind.
"That's the fluctuation of third-tier magic." Crusch Lulu's voice came, causing Xiasiliu Xia Xia to relax inwardly.
"The opponent's strength level..." Kyuku Zuzu trailed off.
"The strength of a summoned monster is heavily dependent on the magic caster themselves. According to the information provided by the Little Fang and Dragon Tooth tribes."
"The opponent can summon two Angels, meaning he's a magic caster specializing in a certain class. It's normal for them to have such a strength level, and this is actually good news."
"It means that the human's main method of attack is the summoned Angel," Crusch Lulu explained, but her voice still trembled slightly.
Her summoned giant crab was defeated in a single exchange. The human spellcaster behind that Angel was definitely stronger than her.
No wonder the Little Fang and Dragon Tooth tribes were wiped out.
Against such a powerful, flying summoned monster, there was almost no solution other than overwhelming it with numbers, unless the spellcaster could be eliminated beforehand.
"They're coming!" Xiasiliu Xia Xia's grave voice suddenly rang out.
Just then.
From within the gates of the Dragon Tooth Tribe, three figures walked out unhurriedly. At the forefront was a very thin-looking figure wearing a white robe.
It was the first time many of the lizardmen had seen a human.
Compared to their own strong bodies, the human looked incredibly weak. A stir of discussion and clamor arose from the lizardman warriors in the rear.
Who would have thought.
That the human they were treating with such gravity would be so frail.
Following behind the human were a lizardman and a wolf-type magic beast. Notably, on the back of the wolf-type magic beast was another lizardman who appeared to be unconscious.
"What's with that guy, staying with a human?" Xiasiliu Xia Xia's expression turned ugly.
A traitor was more infuriating than a simple enemy!
Tang Zheng walked out of the Dragon Tooth Tribe and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the sight of the weapon-wielding lizardmen that filled his vision.
A dense, dark mass of them.
Although there were only just over 300 lizardmen in total, their bodies, much stronger and more robust than a human's, created an intense, intangible sense of oppression.
The distance between the two sides was not great.
So Tang Zheng could clearly see the three figures at the very front.
"The wielder of the 'Frozen Fang' isn't here, I see." Tang Zheng's gaze swept forward, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Among the three lizardman figures at the front.
"Why would you do such a thing!"
The lizardman covered in straw suddenly rushed forward, their voice filled with agitation, and shouted at Tang Zheng, "We lizardmen have no quarrel with you humans."
"The Little Fang Tribe has already paid the price for its mistake, why must you involve the other tribes!"
The sudden development stunned both sides for a moment.
"Red Eye Tribe Leader..." The scales on Xiasiliu Xia Xia's forehead furrowed. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Seeing the lizardman who had suddenly rushed out shouting, and especially with that unique attire, it was hard not to recognize their identity.
The white lizardman—Crusch Lulu!
"The weather is lovely today, isn't it?"
Tang Zheng looked up at the bright sky, spread his arms, and stretched out his loose priest's robe. "Perhaps it will rain later. As for the reason? There is no reason."
"If you truly want a reason, then the answer is for myself, and for this world."
Tang Zheng lowered his raised hands and looked at the lizardmen opposite him, their expressions a mixture of various emotions and anger, his own face calm:
"It's fine if you don't understand."
"For you, there are only two outcomes. Either you all die here, or you repel me."
*I will not use power that is beyond your comprehension.*
Naturally, Tang Zheng did not say this out loud.
*If he were to reveal the majority of his strength.*
*Tang Zheng's other objective would become meaningless. At all times, creating false information and hiding his trump card was his primary choice.*
*This was not just to guard against the future arrival of the Great Tomb, but also to guard against the people of this Otherworld. After all, there were too many strange kinds of magic and abilities in this world.*
