Chapter 43: The Lizardmen
Outside the Cuifeng Valley, the half-human and half-deer forest spirit girl, Mirivia's familiar voice sounded, and half a day had passed underground.
After waiting for Huster to finish praying and receiving God, Gordon left the valley of Emerald Peaks, which had no longer life.
This also means that the beast stronghold is completely wiped out, and there are only traces of their activity to prove that there was indeed a stronghold there.
But Gordon felt no of any of this, and he felt no guilt.
It didn't even look back, it didn't even look at the valley.
For it, if it weren't for the fact that the Peaks Valley was blocking their way into the underground, and that the team members were worried about stealth, and waiting for some emergencies, the forces in the Peaks Valley might become the straw that crushed the camel's back, and Gordon would never have done this.
It was now walking carefully through the unknown underground forest on its slender limbs, its black ears erected high, listening very carefully to the wind and grass around it.
Its current identity is a black wolf, and the talent of the [Transfigurer] gives it three options to transform, wolf, bear, and rat.
Although the least noticeable is the gray squirrel.
But the presence of rats in the forest is obviously a bit abnormal, and the bear is clumsy and large, so it must be more dynamic than other creatures.
So he can only choose the wolf form.
......
"It's coming soon, Gordon, and after passing a river, we'll be able to see the Silvermoon River!"
The fairy dragon Dilisha flew over the broad-leaved forest, occasionally landing on the top of the purple-green tree crown, with a wide field of vision, and when she found the jade-like river in front of her, she immediately reminded Gordon in her heart.
Sure enough, not long after Di Lisa finished speaking, Gordon, who had turned into a black wolf, stopped and waited for his teammates behind.
Because it could clearly hear the louder and louder sound of rushing water.
The goal is not far off.
Silvermoon River, it's almost there!
"You still have to pay attention to your surroundings! Although this area is not a frequent place for lizards and stoneblind barbarians, it is still very likely that you will encounter hunting tribal squads. ”
When Gordon sensed that it was about to approach the first target point, it was naturally very vigilant, and told his teammates the words that had been brewed one by one, which could be regarded as normative advice.
This route was carefully thought out when it was in the Cuifeng Valley, and although it was not surveyed on the spot, it was not far off.
It was specially chosen in a place where the lizards and the stone-blind barbarians would not come, that is, the section of the river that was in the opposite direction from the purple dragon's lair, and if nothing else, it would basically not encounter those monsters.
After all, this underground cavern is so big, it is a bit difficult for hundreds of people at once not to alarm these underground creatures, but the probability of a few people being found is obviously not high.
What's more, in addition to Gordon, even Di Lisa is also invisible, if there are no special anti-stealth tools, such as the night crow of the former desolate giant King Quest, ordinary war lizardmen, and stone-blind barbarians, it is still a little difficult for them to find the invisible.
However, Gordon added another sentence after he finished speaking.
"But when the time comes, if you encounter them, don't give them a chance to escape! Fight quickly! We will leave when we find something this time, and don't have too many conflicts with them!"
After all, it wasn't here to kill, it was just to accept a deposit of Mithril Stone.
"Leave it to Anlu!
"Well, my Wind Chasers will shoot their heads out of the fire!"
"Under the protection of the gods of nature, they have nothing to hide!"
When Shoster, Mirivia and the others heard Gordon's words, they all said that it was no problem.
Their expressions were a little excited when they heard that they were approaching their target, apparently curious about what was hidden underneath this place.
The next journey was neither long nor short, and in less than a minute, Gordon and the others saw this turbulent river more than ten meters wide, wantonly lapping the surrounding rock walls and the raised rock corners underground.
The rumbling sound of the water reached its climax on the shore, and the mysterious glow of the purple stones seemed more psychedelic than the forest.
"There's a bridge there, let's go from there!"
Gordon wandered along the shore for a while, and saw a wooden suspension bridge down the river, spanning two forests.
"Wait, there's movement there, there's something coming!"
Gordon's golden beast pupils shrank slightly, and several black shadows the size of claws were slowly emerging in the opposite forest, and the action was to make the leaves sway wantonly.
It immediately stopped Mirivia from moving.
Soon, dark shadows began to emerge from the dense bushes, and their full model was gradually revealed to Gordon's eyes.
They are all humanoid monsters more than two meters tall, with the same scales as Gordon, gray-black, like an upright cave lizard, but in terms of color, they are more like snake scales, smooth and slightly tough.
And, in addition to this, they have two distinct rows of grayish-white hard spines from the tip of their nose to the back of the end of their tail, like some metal dragons.
There was no doubt that it was a group of lizardmen, five in number, and there were a few underground lizards that looked like hounds around them, apparently in a group.
They all held spears made of bone, or mallets made from the skulls of beasts.
"Why are they here? Hunting here?"
Gordon's mind was full of doubts.
After all, it stands to reason that its route is far from the tribe of the lizardmen that the young black dragon said, and it won't be so surprised to meet those stone-blind barbarians here.
However, when Gordon heard what they said, he couldn't help but laugh.
......
"Damn, we almost caught those two little cubs!Maast, what are we going to tell the Prophet when we get back. ”
A war lizard man with a bone spear of nearly three meters in his hand and a few brown spots on the scales on the tip of his nose stood in front of the suspension bridge, a little hesitant, obviously this mission failed, someone must be punished.
"You can't blame us, Luffy, even a prophet can't imagine there's a fairy passage there, and after chasing it, it's a swamp full of silt, my God. ”
The lizardman named Master spat out the core, stretched out his head to look around, and when he saw that there was nothing like it, he continued to look back.
"Even if Prophet Runes was there, he wouldn't be able to get those two young black dragons out of the thick mud, they were as slippery as blind fish underground, and they couldn't be caught at all!"
"But ......" the lizard man named Luffy wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Master impatiently.
"It's nothing, Luffy, if you are not reconciled, you can go back to that swamp and continue to look for it, I don't mind, I can lend you my "Adolf"!"
"Forget it, it's going to stink me!"
Luffy thought of the foul-smelling black swamp, which had only gone in and trampled on half a foot.
Until now, it still has a strong odor and a unique viscous feeling, so you must wash it well when you go back, and you can't let go of it under the scales.
"That's fine, let's go back, the Prophet is still waiting for us!"
Master sneered when he saw Luffy like this.
Luffy didn't say anything more, and the two of them, along with the other three helpers, quickly crossed the suspension bridge, followed the same path, and returned to the tribe inhabited by the lizardmen.
However, none of them noticed that a black wolf with golden vertical eyes slowly poked its head out of the bushes.
Look at their backs.....
