Chapter 618: Black Scales

Because he couldn't figure out the intentions of Dio and the others, Jet, the captain of the lizardmen shooter, sent someone to inform their patriarch as soon as possible.

And after receiving the sentry's report, Jace Blackscale was immediately confused.

Like the Lizardman Shooter Captain Jet, Jace Blackscale couldn't understand why Rafa, the one-eyed lizardman hunter, would run out of the village with a few outsiders. But to say that Rafa, the one-eyed lizardman hunter, had betrayed the village, Jace Blackscale still didn't believe it.

Just as he knew how cautious Jet, the captain of the Lizardman Marksman, was to know how arrogant Rafa the One-Eyed Lizardman Hunter was! This kind of arrogant guy is usually not the kind of person who is willing to be subservient to others, and if it weren't for the fact that Jace Blackscale's strength is indeed much stronger than the rest of the lizardmen, he believes that Rafa, the one-eyed lizardman hunter, will definitely come to challenge him for his position in three days.

But the question is, if Rafa, the one-eyed lizardman, hadn't rebelled, why did he obediently bring those outsiders to the village?

Could it be that he was controlled? Or is there something else?

While his mind was still thinking wildly, Jace Blackscale kept sorting out his equipment and arming himself as quickly as possible.

As the head of this lizardman village, Jace Blackscale is actually a cautious and serious lizardman, so when he couldn't judge the intentions of Dio and the others, he was very decisive in preparing for the worst.

After gathering the most elite lizardman warriors in the village, Jace Blackscale, who was ready for battle, rushed towards the entrance of the village with a group of lizardman warriors.

However, when Jace Blackscale noticed that the lizardman archers who were supposed to stay on the arrow towers on both sides of the village entrance were gone, his heart suddenly calmed down.

If the comer is really an enemy, then Jet, the lizardman shooter in charge of standing guard, will definitely choose to do it. Even if the other party is far stronger than Jet and them, so that they can easily kill Jet and them in a single shot, then Jet's corpse should be left on the arrow tower, not like now, without leaving any traces of battle.

Jace Blackscale, who had come to this conclusion, was suddenly less nervous, so he and the lizardman warriors behind him also chose to slow down and walk towards the entrance of the village with an unhurried attitude.

If the people who came outside the village were actually "guests", then if they rushed over with such a fierce attitude, they would probably be frightened by the guests......

Therefore, when Dio and the others followed Rafa, the one-eyed lizardman hunter, and Jet, the captain of the lizardmen's shooter, into the village, Jace Blackscale, the leader of the lizardmen, even had a smile on his face.

Although that smile looked a little hideous against the lizardman's appearance, it was indeed a smile.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out!

Discovering that the leaders of these lizardmen were so knowledgeable, Dio also dismissed the idea of taking down the other party first, and then slowly interrogating them.

You know, from the moment Jace Blackscale appeared, Dio noticed that he was different.

Unlike the rest of the lizardfolk with dark green scales, Jace Blackscale's scales are completely black, and their shape is quite different from normal lizard scales. In addition to this, Jace Blackscale's appearance is slightly different from other lizardmen. Compared to ordinary lizardmen, Jace Blackscale's appearance is more hideous, and his body is taller and stout.

Combined with Jace Blackscale's slightly different aura from other lizardmen, Dio was sure that this lizardman really had some dragon blood.

It's just that this bloodline is very thin, so that Jace Black Scale is not much different from the rest of the lizardmen except for the scales.

Under normal circumstances, dragonborns or sub-dragons who have dragon bloodlines and have successfully made these dragon bloodlines manifest will at least evolve a little bit towards dragons from the outside.

For example, dragon horns grow, or tails become very thick, or even a pair of dragon wings grow directly.

Because the bloodline of the dragon clan is very domineering, most of the races that inherit the bloodline of the dragon clan will be alienated. And a person like Jace Black Scale, who obviously has the blood of the dragon clan, but the degree of alienation is so small that it is difficult to see, in fact, it is also very, very rare.

Of course, this is undoubtedly not a good thing for Jace Blackscale, who is a lizardman.

Dio, who was thinking about something in his heart, quickly frowned and thought silently.

However, Dio didn't know that the moment Jace Blackscale's eyes finally fell on him, some of the scales on Jace Blackscale's body suddenly stood up!

Dangerous! Extremely dangerous! Deadly danger!

Just as cats will blow up their fur when they are in danger, lizardmen will subconsciously tense their muscles when they feel danger, causing some parts of the scales to stand up.

At this moment, Jace Black Scale was like a kitten being targeted by a group of big dogs, and he was hairy in an instant.

At the same time, he instantly understood why Rafa, the one-eyed lizardman, and Jet, the lizardman shooter, obediently led the way for those people.

Because the other party is simply so strong that they can't afford to provoke it at all!

After all, he was also the head of this lizardman village, and after reacting, Jace Blackscale immediately made a decision.

He forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, and at the same time, the smile on his face became more sincere.

When Dio walked in front of him with Aisha and Bart, Jace Blackscale bent down decisively and asked respectfully in a dog-legged manner, "How many guests!" What is the matter with coming to our small village? ”

Jace Blackscale's behavior stunned the lizardmen such as Rafa and Jett, and then they all showed a bit of respect at the same time.

What a worthy village chief! I adjusted my mentality so quickly!

Feeling the respect of the lizardmen such as Rafa and Jet, Jace Blackscale smiled bitterly in his heart.

As the only ninth-order powerhouse in the village, Jace Blackscale knew better than any other lizardman how powerful Dio was.

That kind of momentum is definitely not something that ordinary legendary powerhouses can have!

Realizing this, Jace Black Scale, of course, didn't dare to make any small moves in private, and at the same time, his posture was directly lowered to the minimum.

If it weren't for his status as the head of this village, Jace Blackscale would probably have knelt down directly......

Seeing Jace Blackscale behaving so respectfully, Dio seemed to be in a lack of interest.

After all, Jace Blackscale and they are all lizardmen, and no matter how respectful their posture is, they are not as cute as cat people and rabbit people in appearance.

Dio, who didn't intend to continue speaking, turned his gaze directly to Aisha.

After receiving Dio's eyes, Aisha was stunned for a moment, and then took two steps forward with a calm demeanor, and asked directly at Jace Black Scale: "That, do you know where the 'Dragon Island' is?" ”

Unlike the lizardmen like Rafa and Jet who didn't take Aisha seriously at all, Jace Blackscale's eyes suddenly straightened when Aisha stepped forward.

His eyes fell almost straight...... Aisha's hand.

And there is only one thing that will be held tightly by Aisha at this time, and that is the Staff of the World Tree!

Although the scales did not stand up like before, from this moment on, Jace Black Scale placed Aisha in a position equal to Dio.

Therefore, in the face of Aisha's inquiry, he thought about it very seriously for a while, and then said with some hesitation: "In our place, the word 'Dragon Island' is rarely mentioned, and we call it ...... Path of the Ancestors! ”

Hearing Jace Blackscale say this, the lizards around him suddenly realized.

They really don't have much of an impression of the word "Dragon Island", but the Ancestral Road is an equally important event for these lizardmen!

Therefore, when they heard this word, the eyes of these lizard people suddenly changed, and when they looked at Dio and the others, they immediately looked at Dio and the others with a little more scrutiny.

And they were immediately glared at by Jace Blackscale.

After forcing these brainless people back with his eyes, Jace Blackscale continued to explain with a respectful face: "Although the Ancestral Path has always been there, that place is actually a forbidden place for us lizardmen. Only in May of each year, the strong who have passed the Warrior Trial are eligible to go there! ”

As soon as these words came out, Dio and Aisha's brows immediately furrowed. But before they could speak, Jace Blackscale continued, "Of course, if a few of them want to go there, then it will be fine! However, allow me to inform the chiefs of the other two lizardfolk villages! ”

Looking at the look of doubt on Aisha's face, Jace Blackscale bent down more respectfully, and kept explaining for a moment: "I definitely don't mean to embarrass a few people!" ”

"However, the three villages responsible for hosting this year's Warrior Trial, apart from our village, are the villages of the Red Scale Clan and the Blue Scale Clan. It's okay not to notify them, but without being notified, the lizardmen guards in charge of guarding the Ancestral Path will be merciless to all outsiders who approach the Ancestral Path! ”

"Of course! They certainly won't be a match for a few. But if the Red Scales and the Blue Scales learn that someone has forcibly entered the Ancestral Path, more lizardmen warriors will go to the Ancestral Path! ”

"At that time, it will definitely delay the trip of several people!"

"In addition, if the Red Scales and Blue Scales know that we didn't inform them in advance, they will definitely blame us for the blame after that......"

When he said this, Jace Blackscale, who was overly respectful, almost knelt down.

Dio didn't really care much about the lizardmen's attitude, but Aisha wasn't much of a villain, so after Jace Blackscales made this gesture, Aisha suddenly changed her mind.

"That'...... Let's rest with you for a while. ”

Quietly glanced at Dio, and after seeing that Dio did not object, Aisha said softly.

"Thank you very much!"

After bowing to Aisha again, Jace Blackscale said respectfully, "Don't worry! We'll let you know as soon as we can! At the latest, around noon tomorrow, a few of them should be able to go to the Path of the Ancestors! ”

Jace Blackscale has already said this, and Aisha naturally won't ask for anything more. However, Jace Blackscale, who still didn't dare to let up, immediately asked Jet to take Aisha and them to his house, intending to let Aisha and them stay there for one night temporarily.

It wasn't until Jet led Aisha around the corner and left the eyes of Jace Blackscale and the other lizardmen that Jace Blackscale, who was still bent over, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Rafa, the one-eyed lizardman hunter, asked with some hesitation, "Village Chief Jace, will the Red Scale Clan and the Blue Scale Clan let go so easily?" ”

Without seeing Dio in person, Rafa the One-Eyed Lizardman felt that the other two Lizardmen villages might not be so easy to believe that outsiders possessed such strength.

"They'll agree!"

Jace Blackscale, who slowly straightened his waist, was full of wisdom in his eyes at this time: "There are so many large and small lizardman villages scattered around the Ancestral Road, in fact, all of them are just formed by the Wanderers who are not even qualified to be miscellaneous workers. ”
