To be honest, in fact, the small village of the lizardmen where Jace Blackscale is located has a fairly average standard of living.

After all, the vast majority of lizardfolk do not have very high requirements for this kind of living conditions.

In this arguably somewhat difficult environment, in order to prepare a hearty dinner for Dio and them, Jace Blackscale can be said to have done his best.

The fish caught from the stream outside the village, the multi-horned deer and chicks that Jace Blackscale had hunted himself, and the wild vegetables, straw mushrooms and wild fruits collected from the grove, were all worked out by the best lizard chef in the village, and finally managed to put together enough food to satisfy Jace Blackscale.

But when it came time to deliver all the food to Aisha and Dio's house, Jace Blackscale was full of apprehension.

He was very worried about whether Aisha would be satisfied with the hospitality.

Fortunately, Aisha, who often runs around with Dio, does not have high requirements for food and living environment. Therefore, she is still in a good mood living in a specially tidyed house by Jace Blackscale, enjoying that table of food.

Knowing that Aisha was satisfied with such a hospitality, Jace Blackscale finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Dio's attitude towards this matter, Jace Blackscale didn't dare to ask at all!

In order to avoid any misunderstandings, Jace Blackscale behaved very respectfully from beginning to end, answering Aisha and Bart's questions, and always keeping his head down when answering questions, so as not to make his eyes unpleasant to Aisha and them.

All so that Dio and they don't have any disgust!

With such caution, Jace Blackscale managed to survive until the next morning, safely waiting for the return of Rafa, the one-eyed lizardman.

As Jace Blackscale had predicted, after learning that several "distinguished guests" had arrived in his village, the two lizardfolk chiefs of the Red and Blue Scales decisively agreed to the request to open the Ancestral Path in advance, and in order to avoid accidents, they also had their right-hand men return with Rafa, the one-eyed lizardman.

It can only be said that none of the lizardmen who can be the village chief of a village in such a poor country really have no brains.

Looking at Pete Red Scale and Bruce Blue Scale, who were following Rafa the One-Eyed Lizardman, Jace Black Scale, who had finally landed on the ground with a large rock in his heart, immediately ran to inform Aisha of them.

Aisha was naturally very happy to hear the news.

Although Jace Blackscale had really done his best, Aisha's feelings were still mediocre when he entertained them. So Aisha was happy to learn that they could finally continue their journey to Dragon Island.

Dio, who was also quite satisfied with Jace Blackscale's efficiency, nodded slightly, which made Jace Blackscale's face suddenly smile.

However, the smiling face of this product was as hideous as ever, and the corners of Aisha's mouth twitched subconsciously.

Probably knowing that his dignity was not good, Jace Blackscale quickly put away his smile, and then personally led the team to "escort" Aisha and them to the path of the ancestors.

Of course, nominally "escorts", in reality Jace Blackscales is just trying to keep some stupid animals from disturbing their guests. After all, this area is the territory of their lizardmen, and under normal circumstances, there will be no magical beasts that can threaten their lizardmen.

Alert to the point that the slightest disturbance would cause the lizardmen to gather fire and attack, Aisha and the others were safely escorted to the entrance of the Lizardmen's ancestral path.

It was actually a trail that led into a mountain col.

At the entrance to the trail, there is a stone checkpoint. At the level, a group of heavily armed lizardman warriors are guarding the area.

Seeing the arrival of Jace Blackscale and other strong lizardmen, the lizardman warriors guarding the level were obviously a little puzzled, and immediately a leading lizardman asked Pete Redscale in dialect.

Pete Redscale, who was beside Jace Blackscale, also replied loudly in the dialect of the lizardmen, which was a reluctant explanation of the lizardmen's questions.

Although there were still some doubts, after the three important people in the lizardman village agreed, the lizardman warriors who were in charge of guarding the level could only silently open the door.

Seeing that the path to move forward had been opened, Jace Blackscale hesitated once again.

After a moment, Jace Blackscale said to Aisha and them with a respectful face, "According to the rules of our clan, ordinary lizardmen are not qualified to enter the Ancestral Path!" So we can only send a few here. ”

"However, I think a couple of people are likely to need a guide. So if you don't mind, how about I act as a guide for the time being? ”

Hearing Jace Blackscale say this, Pete Redscale and Bruce Bluescale were both taken aback. Bruce Bluescale, who has a good relationship with Jace Blackscale, exclaimed directly: "Jace! Do you really know what you're doing? ”

After touching his head, Jace Black Scales, who had a somewhat bitter face, nodded heavily: "Of course I know what I'm doing!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so hesitant just now. ”

"It's very dangerous inside the Ancestral Path!"

Pushing the sheathed war knife in his hand to the ground, Bruce Blue Scale persuaded him very seriously: "Whether the guests can pass through here smoothly or not is their business!" But if you fall inside, what will happen to your village? ”

Although he obediently escorted Dio and them to the Ancestral Road with Jace Blackscale, Bruce Bluescale's impression of Dio was not much better at all, so of course he didn't care about their life or death.

But Jace Blackscale is different, this is their good brother to the lizardmen!

“…… It's been seven years since I took over as village chief! ”

Jace Blackscale sighed heavily, "Originally, I had already obtained the qualification to enter the Ancestral Path, but it was for the sake of my village that I had waited until now. ”

"And now I don't want to wait any longer!"

"The things in the village, and Jet and Rafa are here! If I don't make it back alive, Jet will take over as village chief. ”

"Although without me, the strength of our village will be greatly reduced, so that it is likely that we will not be able to keep the position of one of the three large villages. But this is not necessarily a bad thing for our village! ”

"So, don't persuade me. I've ...... Be mentally prepared! ”

Bruce Bluescale, who had clenched the hilt of the knife, slowly lowered his head, and sighed in a low voice, "Jace......"

A thousand words, all in it.

"Alright, alright! Stop talking nonsense! ”

At this moment, Pete Red Scale shouted impatiently, "Bruce! Jace is just going to break through the path of the ancestors! With his strength, there is still a great chance to pass this level! So he won't necessarily die! ”

"In that case, why do you put on such a posture! Brothers who don't know, probably think that you two are actually girls! ”

Pete Red Scale's tone was quite rushed, which immediately provoked Bruce Blue Scale's angry eyes. However, Pete Red Scale didn't take it seriously at all.

"Alright, alright! If you want to go, hurry up! ”

With a wave of his hand, Pete Redscale picked up his tomahawk and turned his back to Bruce Bluescale. As he walked, Pete Red Scale muttered, "Damn! I actually want to try it now......"

For the lizardfolk in this vicinity, whether or not they can reach the final end through the path of the ancestors is directly related to whether they can successfully obtain the title of lizardman warrior! Therefore, the strong men of the lizardmen clan here attach great importance to the path of the ancestors and the warrior trials related to it.

Therefore, seeing that Jace Blackscale had the opportunity to take the warrior trial one step ahead of everyone, Pete Redscale was actually a little envious, jealous and hateful.

Unfortunately, at this time, Pete Red Scale was not yet qualified to participate in the Warrior Trial, so even if the Ancestral Path was opened in advance, he would not be able to follow it.

That's why Pete Red Scale is so irritable.

Jace Blackscale and Bruce Bluescale just didn't react at first, but when they came to their senses, they both understood why Pete Redscale had become so irritable.

In addition to crying and laughing, such a mood also somewhat diluted some of the sorrow of parting.

After patting Jace Blackscale on the shoulder vigorously, Bruce Bluescale didn't say anything more, but just stood at the entrance of the Ancestral Path, silently watching Jace Blackscale follow Aisha and them into the Ancestral Path.

When Jace Blackscale and the others were completely out of sight, Bruce Bluescale sighed, then turned around and left with the rest of the lizardman warriors.

The lizardmen warriors in charge of guarding the level quickly closed the door and returned to their original posts, so that the silence quickly returned to the place.

On the other hand, following Aisha into Jace Blackscale, who was in the path of the ancestors, had a strange expression at this time.

Because of this journey, he has not encountered any danger at all......

As the final test for the warriors of the Lizardmen, this trail, known as the "Ancestral Path", is actually very dangerous. As a result, there are many powerful monsters in the grass or woods on the side of the road, ready to attack the people on the trail.

After only walking this short distance, Jace Blackscale saw powerful, ferocious, and strange magical beasts and magical plants such as the Chicken Snake Beast, the Blood King Cobra, and the Twin Crested Paralyzing Aoi.

However, these strange magical beasts and magical plants did not hinder Jace Blackscale at all. Because whenever these magical beasts or magical plants want to make a move, there will always be a black chain that wraps around their bodies first, tying them up to death.

As a result, Jace Blackscale felt as relaxed as if he was on an outing. All the preparations made in advance were completely useless.

Thinking of this, Jace Blackscale couldn't help but glance at Dio, who was walking in front, with very complicated eyes.

Although Dio has never "made a move", just by seeing the black chains that bind all kinds of magical beasts and magical plants, they all turned into a black mist and submerged into Dio's body, you can know that these black chains must have been released by Dio first.

It's just that the methods used by Dio are too high-end, so that Jace Blackscale, who is following behind, never sees how Dio released those black chains!

If you don't understand something, don't think about it.

Jace Blackscale, who sighed silently, was still vigilant from time to time, keeping an eye on whether there was any danger lurking around him.

After noticing this, Dio couldn't help but nod slightly.

Although Jace Blackscale claimed to want to be their guide, after stepping into this ancestral path, except for the need to ask Jace Blackscale when he encountered a fork in the road, Dio himself opened the way in front of him the rest of the time.

It's not that Dio doesn't believe in Jace Blackscale, it's that he also feels that this so-called "ancestral path" is too dangerous.

Not to mention the endless stream of magical beasts and magical plants, there are still one or two traps popping up on this strange path from time to time, which makes Dio's head a little big.
