In the early morning of the third day, in a thick fog, with a dull sound, the newly built village quietly opened its gate, and more than a dozen people slowly stepped out from it, and it was the lord of this place-Li Ran who walked in the forefront. %Net

Li Ran's mood at this time was somewhat complicated, and he was very happy to be able to temporarily subdue Morga and Doric, but how long this relationship could last made him feel uncertain, and whether he would plant a deeper bomb because of this made him feel a little uneasy.

Originally, in the village hall that day, when he learned the intentions of Morga and Doric, on the premise of the same starting point, Li Ran still wanted to cooperate with him, and talk about other things after his power was strong in the future, but he never thought that Doric would directly express his willingness to follow him, you must know that this is equivalent to allegiance in the battle map, and he must be ecstatic to be left in other troops, but this Doric's identity makes him wary.

And the next day, Li Ran, who took Doric to inspect everywhere, learned more or less about the background of this person under him, and to his surprise, it turned out that this person's uncle was actually an earl of the Khan Rock Empire, who controlled the city of Hammondale in the east of the empire, and guarded the invasion from the underground world of Iorf, even in the entire Khan Lock Empire, he could be regarded as a prominent figure.

"My lord! It's almost there" After two hours of traveling, Li Ran saw a jungle appear in front of him.

With a wave of his hand, the team of more than a dozen people came to an abrupt halt, Li Ran nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned to a young man in the crowd.

This person is the son of the old man who found the swampy lake in the village, he was also present when the old man found the lake, Li Ran came here today to exterminate the group of lizard people, there may be a fight, and it is naturally inconvenient to bring an old man, so he called his son over, at least he will hurry up when he can't run.

Speaking of the manpower brought out by this operation, except for the two Maruk warriors, Tristan and Dagenay. Li Ran also brought the eleventh-order Qi ** master Sanchez and Zereramo orc captain Tulgar, who had been invited from the magic tower to help. As for Master Worthen, he stayed in the village, firstly to monitor the old village chief Morga, and on the other hand, to help arrange for the Sulphur Steel Demon to cooperate with the villagers to build. Although the outer city defense of the territory is almost complete, there are still too many constructions in it that have not yet started.

Of course, Li Ran, the lamp god whose actions are not restricted by the ground type, also brought it, in addition to Topol and the other two ninth-order lamp gods, he also brought four ordinary lamp gods of the eighth order. Originally, there were two eighth-order lamp gods, Li Ran also wanted to bring them. But considering that there were still people outside the village to patrol, they gave up.

As for the remaining seven people, they were all brought by Doric, all of them were high-level warriors of the eleventh order, no more tattered than the tattered appearance they wore when they were disguised in the village before, and at this time, this group of neatly equipped high-level warriors fully revealed what an elite is, all standard chain mail. Stretchy high-quality leather is tied at the point of urgency, so that there is no restriction on movement. In addition to a sharp long sword at his waist, his right hand side is equipped with a small battle axe or half-moon shield, plus a crossbow behind him and a short sword inserted in his boots.

"Topol, you and your men are exploring the way ahead, be careful, slow down. Never go to war without being sure of the number of enemies! He glanced at Doric beside him. Li Ran looked up at Topol and admonished.

Thopol, who was usually innocent and lively, changed his state as soon as he entered, with a hint of arrogance on his cold face, and bent down slightly and said respectfully to Li Ran: "Dear master! Rest assured, just ordinary lizardmen, and we believe that we can deal with these inferior creatures before you arrive! ”

Every creature has its own dignity, and Li Ran has no objection to this. At this time, he smiled and said, "Go ahead!" My beloved warriors, I have absolute confidence in your abilities. But for your safety, please be careful! I don't want the lizardmen's swords to defile your bodies! ”

As an elemental body, the god of the lamp no longer belongs to humans. But at this time, he still showed a slightly moved look, and a few guys saluted Li Ran very neatly, and with Li Ran nodding slightly, he disappeared into the jungle like the wind. Li Ran followed up with the others.

Facts have proved that Topol's pride is really not blown out casually, along the way, Li Ran and others who followed only saw the corpses of creatures dropped on the ground from time to time, most of which were ordinary beasts, but there were also some low-level intelligent creatures, among which there were still the most kobolds, and the very famous werewolves, this humanoid creature also had the habit of walking upright, but there was a small canine head, the rank was not high, and they often attacked lone humans and other creatures in groups, and sometimes ate some rotten food.

In the next half hour, as the road became more and more muddy, Li Ran and his troops also saw the corpse of the first lizardman, just as the old man in the village said. The lizardman was dressed in tatters, and a clearly trimmed wooden stick by his side was probably his weapon for a living.

The further he went, the corpses of the lizardmen on the ground gradually increased, sometimes several could be seen in one place, and the only thing that reassured Li Ran was that he found that these lizardmen were all using wooden sticks as their main weapons, and occasionally a few were armed with short knives and long swords, and most of them were rusty. No lizardman archers appeared to worry him.

"It's almost there!" At this moment, the young man in the village suddenly shouted.

Knowing that what he wanted to say was that he was almost at the lake, Li Ran raised his head, but the first thing he saw was a small mountain peak faintly through the gap in the leaves.

Seeing the lord's puzzled gaze, the villager immediately explained, "The lake that my father and I saw is just north of the peak, and you can see it by going around it!" ”

With a sigh of gratitude, Li Ran tried to contact a few lantern gods who were still exploring the way ahead, and then told them the specific destination. At the same time, he also led the troops behind him to increase the speed of progress.

In this way, after about half an hour of marching forward, everyone suddenly heard the faint sound of fighting from the front, and Li Ran, as the lord, immediately stopped the team, and at the same time called Tristan to let him go and investigate. In this treacherous campaign map, all caution is necessary!

A few minutes later, the Maruk warrior Tristan returned, along with several other Lamp Gods, who had been fighting Topol and several other Lamp Gods against a group of lizardmen. By the time Tristan arrived, the battle was over.

Following Topol's guidance, Li Ran and the others saw the fallen lizardmen on the ground, and their number reached about thirty, no wonder they could trap Topol and the others for so long.

"You're too risky, everyone's fine!" Li Ran blamed a little angrily.

Topol lowered his head and replied, "Report to the master, these lizardmen's weapons won't do us much harm, just recover a little!" ”

Topol's words are understandable, the elemental lamp gods are born with a certain ability to immune to physical damage, so it is best to use magic weapons or weapons that have added mental damage to this kind of opponent, and these wooden sticks and rusty weapons in the hands of the lizardmen are really not very useful to them.

"Okay, you go on to explore the way, don't get too far away from us, we are almost there, I still have to remind you to be careful" Li Ran said with a slight smile at Topol.

At noon, Li Ran and the others received a report from Topol, claiming that they had found a lizardman's nest in front of them, and at the same time, they also saw the lake that the villagers said, the lake under the three peaks was as green as jade, and it stretched into the distance without end, and it was thousands of meters wide.

"Let's rest and eat something first, Topol, you still have to be tired, go find out the approximate number of this group of lizardmen at noon!" In the virtual world, he didn't go offline for two days and nights, and he rushed to the road all morning, and at this time, Li Ran, who was a little tired, sat on the ground and said.

"I didn't expect such a beautiful place not far from your territory!" At the moment of eating, the eleventh-order wind system ** master Sanchez sighed.

Li Ran looked at the surrounding environment and nodded: "What the master said is right, I originally thought that this was just a swamp, but I didn't expect it to be so rich, and there are mountains and rivers."
