Chapter 284: Choice, for Survival and Hope
Countless ice lizardmen stood up and vigorously accused the bloodied patriarch.
The corners of the lizard's mouth turned upward, revealing its eerie teeth. The next moment, he drew his last stone arrow and shot it at the nearest soldier. The soldier, who was waving his fist, collapsed in a pool of blood.
"I am your patriarch! Which one else challenges me! He walked over to the lizard guard and drew his arrow, kicking the corpse off the platform. Roaring loudly at the rebellious soldiers.
"Bang", those soldiers looked at the arrow of death in fear, and then looked at the fallen lizard Sanduo, their faces panicked, slowly retreated, and the voice of protest stopped abruptly.
"Good!" The fourth lizard smiled with satisfaction, he turned to the priest and said viciously, "These of your magic circles can work, right?!" ”
"Yes! Be! My lord! ”
The priestess recovered from the shock she had just had, and she humbly knelt down in response. Then he instructed the guards on both sides to carry the three corpses on the ground to another large room next to each other.
Soon after, the cave returned to silence and indifference, with a hint of fear and embarrassment.
"Patriarch! The Ice Ratmen are attacking the city in full force! The first line of defense has been breached! ”
An ice lizardman scout stumbled in from outside, shouting in panic before glancing at the eerie atmosphere.
"My lord! Please send the leader of the Lizard Guard to lead the Ice Armor Army to support! Otherwise... Otherwise, the second line of defense will soon be broken! ”
He shouted a worried suggestion, but was greeted by a silent silence.
“???!”
"Lizard-sama!"
Maybe they had just come in from outside, and the sunlight was so dazzling that they couldn't see people's faces clearly. He called out loudly, but no one answered.
"Well, don't make a noise! Look at you, what it looks like! The fourth lizard glanced at the soldier, and with a solemn expression on his face, he shouted loudly.
"My lord! Without the Lizard Guard, I'm afraid the second line of defense will be torn apart in an instant! ”
The soldier shouted to the patriarch, his words tingling with horror.
"I see! ... Well, the Lizard Guards won't be coming back in the future. We're on our own! The fourth lizard touched his chin and said coldly.
"What? He's dead!!! What's going on?! ... By you? What will you do...", the soldier was also straight, and he looked at his patriarch with a horrified expression on his face. Then they all understood in an instant, their faces were like ashes, and their expressions were mocking.
"Bastard! How to speak? The lizard elder sprinted two steps, grabbed the soldier's collar with his left hand, and scolded loudly. With anger on his face, his right hand clenched into a fist and hammered hard into his chest.
"Hehehe! Aren't you just going to kill me? Come on! Anyway, the defense line can't be defended, if you want to die, then die together! The soldier sneered sharply with a wry smile in his eyes.
"Bastard! You shit! ... Come! Pull him to the sacrifice! The lizard kicked the soldier away and shouted loudly at the guards on either side.
"Yes!" The two henchmen let out a low sigh, raised the soldier's arms, and dragged them towards the sacrificial circle.
"You dog thief who killed loyal generals will not die well!"
"You have wasted the heart of my front-line soldiers to guard, you who have suffered a thousand cuts!"
"The Ice Lizardman clan is exhausted, and it should be destroyed!"
Accompanied by one
The sound of the body splitting the soldier, and the soldier collapsed in a pool of blood.
Blood gushed out rapidly, smearing the entire rune array red, and the large array of countless corpses actually began to slowly rotate, emitting blood-colored light.
"I, as the 34th generation patriarch of the Ice Lizardmen, order everyone to break through! Fight your way to the enemy! ”
The fourth lizard swung the bone bow in his hand vigorously and roared loudly at the crowd below.
"The battle to defend the Frozen Abyss begins! Everybody's rushing outside! ”
As if forced by his obscenity, and led by his henchmen, the lizardmen sitting around the fire in the cave actually picked up stone spears and galloped out of the room.
In the blink of an eye, only the fourth lizard, the priest, a few henchmen and some old, sick and disabled lizardmen were left in the room.
"Get rid of these!" The fourth lizard glanced at the old, weak, sick, and crippled lizardmen, and turned to whisper to a few of the guards.
"Wait! Do you really want to do that, my lord? The guards glanced at each other and looked at the fourth lizard with puzzled eyes.
"That's right! Only the strong can survive! We have been raising them for many days, and now it is an eventful time, and they must do something for their tribe! The fourth lizard put his hands behind his back and said coldly.
"Well... My lord! The eyes of those henchmen flashed with complicated emotions, and then they slaughtered those old, weak, sick and crippled in the rune array.
With the insults and curses, the large array turned faster and faster, and the original undulating plane began to stabilize. A huge pillar of blood-colored air pierced through the frozen abyss, condensing into a huge curtain of light in the sky.
Countless Sanskrit sigils flew around the light curtain, flying towards the void in circles.
"Today, the thousand-year-old foundation of my Frost Lizard Clan has been destroyed! I am ashamed as a patriarch! In order to continue the bloodline of the race, you, as the seeds chosen by my lizard elders, will follow me to teleport to the ancient realm! Start teleporting now! ”
Standing in the center of the rune array, the fourth lizard elder glanced at the few henchmen guards around him and more young lizardmen women with good figures, who spoke loudly. Then he glanced at the sacrifice.
"Your Excellency, please insert the arrow into this hole!" The priest shook his head and turned to whisper to the fourth lizard.
The current high priest's face was pale, and dozens of sharp horn thorns had grown on his body because of the power of the curse he had received. She frowned in pain, coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm, then raised her hands and chanted aloud.
"What a mile of coffee, hiccup, Kunda, ahhh Raqash Nari... Kakundeo...".
With her chanting, the blood-colored rune array slowly wrapped, forming a giant cylinder with a diameter of ten meters, and in the next moment, the tip of this cylinder slowly deformed and thinned, piercing the mountain stone of the frozen abyss, and leaping towards the snowy kingdom above.
"Nope! This god has deceived us! ”
"Oh my God! What's going on! ”
"Not good! My baby! ”
Those lizardmen, who were fighting on the front line, heard the loud noise and looked back a few times. Then look to the sky and chase the "red line" that is getting farther and farther away.
"Whew! Laugh at! Laugh at! "Countless arrows flew and easily froze them in place.
Then countless stone balls fell down.
"I surrender!" A voice rang out among the ice lizardmen, his hands held high, facing forward
Let's go.
"Traitor!" One of the diehards at the back of the group raised his stone spear and threw it at the soldiers in front of him.
"Poof!" Mixed with the sound of the wind, the soldier was shot through the chest with a stone spear. He glanced behind him, smiled, and continued to walk forward.
"Damn it!" The die-hard raised a second stone spear.
Only this time it wasn't thrown. "Bell, bell!" The diehard was greeted by countless stone spears around him, which instantly stabbed the diehard into a "hedgehog".
"Lizard Laosi, a dog thief, harmed my wife and parents, and now he has abandoned us and run away! The Ice Lizardmen didn't die because of us today! But it will be born because of us! In order to continue the bloodline, we surrender! ”
One of the generals present looked around at the soldiers around him and shouted loudly.
"If anyone wants to be loyal to the fourth lizard, and bury the dead lizardman tribe! Then I allow you to kill yourself! For those of you who choose to survive and re-establish a new clan, if you shoot a black gun in the back again, don't blame me for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”
With the three die-hard soldiers taking it upon themselves, the remaining male and female soldiers chose to drop their weapons, raise their hands high, and move forward.
It was noon, and the strong sunlight shone on the grayish-white smooth rock walls, and after many reflections, it shone on the bottom of the cave.
"Captain! Those lizardmen have action! Murong Yue, who was in charge of surveillance, said loudly towards Qin Hao.
"Look again, what they do!" Qin Hao crouched in a deep pit, and Pei Yao carefully traced the remains of the rune array at the bottom of the cave.
"Captain! These guys are very murderous! It's all cunning and untrustworthy guys, and if I freeze them, can't I kill him? ”
Liu Zihan was wearing a camouflage suit, crouching on a huge rock, and complained to Qin Hao not far away.
"Huh? Well! There are some things I need to understand. You have killed them, and I am afraid that they will really leave us. Qin Hao hunched over and moved a gravel away, turned back to Liu Zihan and said, "What's more, it's enough to have them!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look around at some places.
I saw that the seemingly peaceful places were hidden in the grass, covered in ferns and mosses.
Although the terrain varies, a closer look has one thing in common: there is an irregular slate behind which a pair of vigilant eyes roam around. Then, a pair of furry hands were stretched out, and a stone slingshot was in the palm of the hand, and the stone ball was fired forward.
After firing one, they squeaked twice and raised their slingshots again.
This is Qin Hao's new ally, the "Ice Rat Man", and their strange cries are coordinating to allocate their next attack target.
The reason why Qin Hao was able to invite them to join the Xueluo Union was because Liu Zihan and Murong Yue were involved.
It turned out that after Liu Zihan and Murong Yue received the task assigned by Qin Hao, they took the flying wing made by the fort and successfully crashed to the first line of defense at the front of the labyrinth, and met the patriarch of this group of ice lizardmen, the fourth lizard.
And the fourth lizard greeted these two "distinguished guests" with a smile with dim eyes! And cried to them that the flying snake people on the ice and snow path posed a threat to their survival, and among them, the snake king Hel was a terrifying existence, hoping that the two adults would eliminate the hidden danger for them.
As he spoke, he dispatched the elite led by the Lizard Guard to follow Murong Yue and Liu Zihan to the Ice and Snow Trail.
