Chapter 9: The Lizardmen Tribe
The Mire Crocodile, a third-order swamp beast that likes to hide itself beneath the swamp mud and then prey on creatures that pass by them.
This third-order alien beast is huge, with a body length of more than eight meters and a weight of more than two tons when it reaches adulthood, and it is an existence capable of wrestling with swamp giants.
In addition to its physical strength, the mire crocodile also possesses a number of spell-like abilities, the most famous of which is the Mire Spell, which has a similar effect to the five-ring spell "Fossil to Mud".
Swamp crocodiles with the "Mire Technique" can easily forcibly create a permanent mire pool suitable for their own life and battle on flat ground, and because of this ability, some large swamp lizardfolk tribes will specially domesticate this creature to support the tribe.
Rocky actually felt wronged, and he swore that he definitely didn't mean to crush the female crocodile's eggs.
"How can I reason with my horse, God Horse knows that a crocodile of yours will lay eggs in the mud, and don't crocodiles all lay eggs ashore and dig holes?"
There is no doubt that this is a tragedy full of unexpected nature, both for Rocky and for the mire crocodile.
The mire crocodile must make the killer of his own child pay for his life, even if the other party is a young dragon.
And Rocky obviously won't sit still, even if the other party is a mire crocodile.
So, after this chase, the two creatures standing at the top of the swamp biological chain stirred up the entire water area into a miasma, muddy, making the black dragon Saria, who was chasing behind, thunderous.
The reason for Saria's anger is simple, because it can't track down Rocky by magic, it can only rely on the beast's sense of smell and the black dragon's innate ability to control the water environment to find Rocky's breath and traces, and now after the behemoth of the mire giant crocodile has been stirred under the water, Rocky's breath and traces have been completely covered and destroyed.
In this way, all Saliya finally found was the mire crocodile who had also lost Rocky and gave up the pursuit.
"Stupid crawler, you have to pay for your stupidity!"
The angry adult black dragon undoubtedly poured out his anger on the mire giant crocodile, who had also just suffered the loss of his son.
The result was obviously not the slightest surprise, in the face of an angry adult black dragon attack, the mire giant crocodile was corrupted by the acid dragon breath without any resistance, and then became the meal on the plate of the remaining three young dragons on the Black Dragon Peak.
Rocky naturally didn't know that the giant crocodile that drove himself around ended up being a scapegoat for himself.
After getting some tricks out of the sight of the mire crocodile, he swam to the outer area of the swamp from another direction, and his way to judge the outer area of the swamp was very simple, that is, to look at the concentration of the green mist, the direction of the shallow concentration, and the eight achievements were the outer part of the swamp.
Obviously, Rocky was right, and as he made his way to the outer areas of the swamp, he began to encounter a variety of swamp creatures along the way, including some magical creatures.
Ice Dart Frogs, Mire Crocodiles, Ooze Monsters, and other Rocky creatures that he has known and unrecognized through passing on knowledge have become more common, forcing him to do his best to avoid the side of the creatures that don't seem to be easy to deal with.
Fortunately, because of the faint influence of dragon power on his body, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, those magical creatures with no low intelligence have ignored him selectively, and it is impossible for them to live here without knowing that there is an adult black dragon living in the depths of this swamp.
Finally, the land appeared.
It was a forest that grew into swampy puddles, and there were simple cabins in the forest, much like the aboriginal cabins of the tropical jungle that Rocky had seen on television in his previous life.
But it wasn't the crudely constructed cabins that caught Rocky's attention, but the creatures that inhabited them, humanoids nearly two meters tall, with a lizard's tail and scales.
Lizardmen!
As soon as he saw this humanoid creature, Rocky couldn't help but think of these three words, and then his eyes showed a look of great curiosity.
Although he had known that this world was very different from Earth, and that he had mastered the power of magic, it was the first time he had seen humanoid intelligent creatures other than humans, and Rocky could not help but become curious about these lizardmen.
He tilted his head and thought about it, but he still didn't venture to get close to the lizardmen's habitat, but quietly retreated some distance, he planned to stay around for a while to see if he could get some useful information from the lizardmen's mouths.
In the past few days of rebirth, in addition to eating, drinking and sleeping, Rocky has also been thinking about his future path, and how he should live well in this strange world.
Before he lacked an intuitive understanding, most of his references came from some knowledge from the memory of the dragon inheritance, as well as some Western fantasy novels he had read in his previous life.
The lizardmen, a race of humanoid intelligence, only have a short sentence in the dragon inheritance memory that Rocky obtained: "Those lowly lizardmen, they are stupid and dirty, weak and lowly, and they are the inferior food!"
Well, that's how Rocky understands it anyway.
Of course, this was for the young dragons and the adult dragons, and for young dragons like Rocky, the lizardman was not the object of his current contempt and humiliation, no matter how unbearable his background was.
So he did the kind of thing that adult black dragons like to do the most - kidnapping tickets.
Whether it's the metal dragon of the good camp, the gem dragon of the neutral camp, or the five-colored dragon of the evil camp, they all have one thing in common, and that is the obsession with collecting treasure.
The difference is that metal dragons and gem dragons belong to the "gentleman dragons" type, and they will most of the time trade treasures from other sapient beings.
Although many times they will choose to force the transaction because the other party refuses, they still get it through the means of trading, and it will not hurt the other party.
However, the five-colored dragons of the evil camp are different, and they will do everything to grab their favorite treasures, even if they commit heinous crimes.
On the continent of Kadolan, there are more or less evil dragons slaughtering cities and exterminating clans every year, and their purpose in doing so is to loot the treasure troves of those cities and tribes.
The black dragon among the five-colored dragons can be said to be the best at collecting money, these evil dragons who love to collect coins, often use kidnapping and other means to coerce those humans or elves and other intelligent creatures to hand over their belongings, and then kill people after getting the property.
Although Rocky has not yet reached the age of crazy wealth, in order to achieve his goals, he will not mind using these methods in advance, who told him that he is also a member of the evil dragons now!
