Chapter 617: The Village
As Aisha had assumed, there was indeed a lizardfolk village nearby. But before Dio and the others could find the village, they ran to them first.
"It should be around here!"
"Quick!"
"Haven't you found the one who asked for help?"
"Don't you know he's still alive?"
"Life is to meet people! Death to see the corpse! ”
With a somewhat noisy lingua franca, a group of lizardfolk soon emerged. Almost at the same time that Dio spotted them, the lizardmen noticed Dio as well.
"Alert!"
A lizard with a scar on his face and only one eye left roared loudly. The rest of the lizardmen immediately dispersed when they heard his roar and were ready for battle as fast as they could.
But the lizardmen who had already surrounded Dio and Aisha didn't dare to do anything.
Because every time their eyes fell on Dio, they could feel a chill from the heart.
It's like a frog being targeted by a snake, it's a feeling of encountering a natural predator and feeling that you have absolutely no way to match it!
Most of the rest of the lizardmen were just a little uneasy, but the one-eyed lizardman felt an unforgettable sense of threat when he saw Dio, and he quickly reacted.
The other party, most likely, is the legendary kind...... Legendary powerhouse!
This conclusion made the one-eyed lizardman nervous immediately, because he was not sure what the intentions of Dio, who was a legendary powerhouse, came to them.
If Dio had any ill will towards them, they lizardmen would be in big trouble!
Regardless, the one-eyed lizardman didn't want to stop there, so naturally he skipped Dio and turned to the others around him.
This was just the one-eyed lizardman's instinct: it was already the instinct of the lizardmen hunters to try to find other flaws in the face of an invincible enemy.
But at the moment when the one-eyed lizardman's gaze fell on Aisha, Dio raised his eyebrows, and then raised his hand directly.
Dark Realm, unfold!
The dark realm that unfolded around Dio expanded in an instant. While the rest of the lizardmen felt uneasy, the one-eyed lizardmen watched the ground suddenly turn black beneath their feet and fell into terror, and the area covered by the dark realm suddenly fluctuated.
Dozens of black chains burst out of the black earth, wrapping around the bodies of all the lizardmen. Although the strongest one-eyed lizardman was already writhing desperately trying to dodge, the five black chains that were eyeing him were able to wrap around his limbs and waist, tying him up to the flowers.
After eliminating all the lizardmen in an instant, Dio took advantage of the situation to reclaim the Dark Realm, leaving only a prisoner trapped by the Dark Chains.
For such an ending, Dio nodded with satisfaction.
After becoming a true legendary powerhouse, Dio, who has not been able to find a qualified opponent, is not sure how much the dark realm he has gained will be for him. But judging from the previous tests, he shouldn't have to care too much about the siege of those miscellaneous fish now.
After unfolding the Dark Realm, Dio was able to launch a large-scale offensive at any time with very low attrition, so ordinary crowd tactics were of little use to him.
Of course, this consumption is small, but it is not zero. Therefore, as long as there are enough enemies, if there are more than 10,000 enemies, it is still possible to bring considerable losses to Dio.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, the legendary-level powerhouses will generally not make a move on ordinary miscellaneous fish. Because they must conserve their strength so that they can fight against the legendary powerhouses of the enemy.
If any legendary powerhouse is stupid enough to bully the miscellaneous fish with a domain attack, then it is almost certain that that guy will not survive the next legendary-level battle......
After looking at the captives for a moment, Dio asked Bart to protect Aisha, and then he walked straight to the one-eyed lizardman who had been struggling.
"Still won't give up?"
Looking at the one-eyed lizardman who was trapped tightly, Dio asked calmly.
When asked, the one-eyed lizardman stopped struggling. Unable to lie on the ground due to the restraint of the dark chains, he leaned back with all his might, and raised his head to look at Dio and the others.
After a brief look at Aisha and Bart, the one-eyed lizardman, who had focused all his attention on Dio, asked in a deep voice, "May I ask, what do you want to do here?" ”
"Actually, we just wanted to ask for directions."
Dio shrugged his shoulders calmly.
Just wanted to ask for directions?
The one-eyed lizardman turned his head to look at the black chains that bound him, and the only remaining eye was filled with two words.
Unbelief!
"I know you don't believe it, but our purpose is so simple."
After sighing, Dio said helplessly: "If you didn't make a move on us first, I actually didn't bother to pay attention to you." ”
The "contempt" revealed in Dio's words made the one-eyed lizard man struggle very unwillingly: "But we obviously didn't make a move on you, didn't you tie us all up?" ”
For this question, Dio directly rolled his eyes: "If you didn't hit her with the abacus, I really didn't plan to make a move!" ”
Although they didn't say it directly, both Dio and the one-eyed lizardman knew that the "she" they were referring to was Aisha!
The one-eyed lizardman who had his heart trying to be broken couldn't help but grit his teeth, he never thought that Dio's perception would be so keen.
If I had known, I wouldn't have beaten that little girl's idea.
Just as the one-eyed lizardman's heart began to feel remorse, Dio raised his hand again.
This time, the black chains that had bound the lizardmen turned into countless black smoke at the same time, and then dissipated.
If it were the previous one, Dio would definitely try his best to recover this part of the dark element to reduce the consumption. But after truly becoming a legendary powerhouse, his body is indeed constantly absorbing the dark elements around him all the time. So much so that the magic consumed by the crowd restraint that Dio had just cast had recovered in just a few breaths.
Dio, who was already full of magic power, naturally had no way to continue to absorb these dark elements, so he could only let them dissipate directly.
This made Dio, who was used to being stingy when using magic, somewhat heartbroken.
At this time, the one-eyed lizardman asked uninterestingly, "You just let us go?" ”
"You just saw that."
Dio replied angrily: "For me, it really only takes one thought to solve you!" ”
"But this time, if you're not interested, then I don't mind some blood!"
The faintly unhappy words made the one-eyed lizardman immediately coaxed. Seeing the gap between them, the one-eyed lizardmen didn't dare to provoke Dio anymore.
God knows if the other party will kill them all because of one upset!
With a sense of crisis, the one-eyed lizardman quickly picked up the equipment that fell to the ground, and after quickly sorting out his clothes, he bowed his head respectfully and asked, "My lord, where do you want to go?" ”
Looking at the one-eyed lizardman who had changed into a dog-legged appearance in an instant, Dio's face became a little strange.
(I kind of understand why the Dragons are willing to recruit some lizardmen as younger brothers.) Looking at this dog's leg, maybe it will be a little unqualified when doing business. But if you let them deal with some clutter, most of the time there is no problem...... )
After putting away those distractions, Dio asked expressionlessly, "Do you know where the 'Dragon Island' is?" ”
"Dragon Island?"
The one-eyed lizardman blinked his only remaining eye, and his face showed a bit of confusion: "I think I've heard this word somewhere......"
"Alright, take us to your village."
Dio, who waved his hand, said very directly: "Since you have heard of this word, then ask the elders of your clan, and most of them will find their way to Dragon Island." ”
The one-eyed lizardman opened its mouth, but it quickly closed.
If they could, the one-eyed lizardmen would not want to take Dio and them to the lizardmen's village. But the problem is, now they don't have a choice!
In desperation, the one-eyed lizardman could only pray that Dio was not the kind of strong man who would kill innocents indiscriminately, while obediently leading the way in front.
Under the guidance of such a group of lizardmen, Dio and the others walked around the woods, and soon found the village of the lizardmen.
This village belonging to the lizardfolk is nestled in a small col with its back against a small hill. There is also a stream that originates on a small hill and eventually joins the stream.
It can be said that the location of this village is still very good.
When the lizardmen led Dio and them to a place not far from the village, the lizardmen archers standing on the two arrow towers at the entrance of the village had already spotted them first.
The four lizardmen archers did not make a rash move, but watched the one-eyed lizardmen very vigilantly, trying to see if their compatriots were being controlled.
And judging by the natural behavior of the one-eyed lizardmen, it was clear that their people were controlled by some kind of magic.
The lizardman shooters, whose eyes were filled with more doubts, quickly focused their attention on Dio and the others.
Almost the moment he saw Dio, a strong sense of crisis made the four lizardmen shooters subconsciously pull out the short bow in their hands!
Luckily, as the sentinels of the village, these four lizardmen shooters are all relatively calm types. They didn't panic, but carefully observed Dio.
After carefully checking what was going on, the four lizardmen archers all put down their short bows in their hands.
The other party is far stronger than they imagined! The kind that can't be messed with at all!
The captain of the lizardmen archers, who had come to a conclusion, made a few gestures to one of his compatriots and told him to immediately inform the patriarch before taking the other two compatriots down the arrow tower and quickly opening the gate of the village.
It wasn't until they led Dio and them to the front of the village and saw the three lizardmen shooters standing respectfully on both sides of the wide open gate that the one-eyed lizard reacted violently.
Because the pressure on Dio was so great that he forgot that there were still his compatriots guarding the entrance of the village.
Thankfully, nothing happened!
After wiping away the cold sweat from his head very covertly, the one-eyed lizardman also walked forward quickly, as if happily hugging the captain of the lizardman shooters.
"Jet! I am back! ”
The one-eyed lizardman laughed and slapped the lizardman shooter captain on the shoulder.
This made the captain of the lizardman shooter named Jet roll his eyes: Am I familiar with you?
As the village's guard, the relationship between the lizardman archer named Jet and the one-eyed lizardman, who is the leader of the hunting party, has never been good.
Of course, the one-eyed lizardman knew this, so he used the cover of his body to open his mouth and silently say a few quick words to the lizardman shooter.
Skimming over the pointless "sorry for the trouble" and the like, Jet, the captain of the Lizardmen Shooter, quickly noticed the point.
