Chapter 11: The Three-Headed Snake Lizard
The hydra lizard, a magical creature as powerful as a dragon.
As a descendant of the mythical monster Hydra, the hydra lizard was born with two heads, as well as the strength of a first-order professional, and each additional head in the future will increase its strength by one order.
The five-headed hydra lizard is comparable to that of an adult dragon, and this creature can grow up to eight heads, only one less than their creator, the hydra Hydra.
The eight-headed hydra lizard, a mythical beast that can slay gods, is a powerful creature that can compete with the primeval dragons of the dragon clan.
As mentioned earlier, the hydra lizard, like the black dragon, is one of the top predators in the Green Cloud Swamp, and the news that Zaha the lizardman told Rocky was related to this creature.
According to Zaha the Lizardman, the Lizardman tribe has found a three-headed snake lizard in the egg-laying period, and the high priest and leader of the tribe have planned to take advantage of the weakness of the three-headed snake lizard after laying eggs to snatch the eggs of the hydra lizard and hatch into a tribal guardian beast.
The high priest and leader of the lizardmen tribe, one is a mid-level dragon warlock and a priest of the lizardman god Semnua, and the other is a bronze warrior, all of whom are of the same level as the three-headed snake lizard.
In this way, if you add some black iron-level tribal warriors and low-level warlocks to assist, even if it is used to deal with a juvenile black dragon, it will have a good chance of winning, provided that the black dragon is brain-dead and lands on the ground just face to face them.
Rocky didn't doubt the strength of the lizardfolk tribe, after all, it was a medium-sized tribe with a total population of more than a thousand people, but he wasn't afraid of these lizardmen either, because he was a black dragon capable of flying.
Therefore, after learning the news that the lizardman tribe was about to crusade against the hydra lizard, he naturally would not easily let go of this fisherman's opportunity to make a profit.
"The hydra lizard is not so easy to kill, even if the strength of the three-headed snake lizard will decrease because of the laying of eggs, but with the strength of this legendary creature, if the lizardman tribe does not pay a certain price, then don't think too much. ”
Since he plans to intervene in the battle between the lizardmen and the hydra, Rocky naturally needs to be prepared first, especially to be familiar with the battlefield environment.
Zaha, the lizardman, was undoubtedly lucky, because of the news of the hydra, he temporarily saved his life, and the few remaining members of his family were not so lucky.
In order to keep it a secret, Rocky ignored the pleas for mercy from the remaining two men, and sank to the bottom of the swamp along with the corpse from earlier.
In fact, the best way to destroy the corpse is undoubtedly to eat them, but Rocky was a human in his previous life after all, and he may not mind letting him eat animals such as rump deer raw, but if he eats a humanoid creature like a lizard man, he is really a little difficult to accept for a while.
Over the next two days, Rocky, led by Zaha the Lizardman, carefully went to the three-headed lizard's spawning site to conduct an on-site reconnaissance.
Of course, in order to prevent irritating the three-headed snake lizard that was about to lay eggs, Rocky only reconnoitred in the circle outside, and did not go too deep, so that he did not even see the three-headed snake lizard.
And in the past two days, the lizardman tribe didn't know if it was to concentrate on dealing with the three-headed snake lizard, so they didn't send people out to search for the missing Zaha and the others, as if they didn't find out that their tribe had lost a patrol.
Two days passed in a flash.
That afternoon, Rocky, who had been monitoring the lizardman tribe, finally waited for the news he wanted.
With the sound of a low and long conch, more than thirty lizardman warriors with an average height of more than two meters and a half walked out of the forest where the lizardman tribe was located.
These lizardmen warriors are the most powerful people in the entire tribe, and their weapons are the fine iron creations that ordinary lizardmen warriors like Zaha dream of, and these are all accumulated by the lizardmen tribe over the years through the trading of human adventurers and some human smuggling merchants.
Lizardmen don't know how to forge and there is no iron ore in the swamp, and most of the weapons that lizardmen usually use are made from beast bones, and at most some venom will be added to them to increase their lethality.
As a result, the possession of iron weapons, especially those that are finely forged, has become associated with glory, strength, power, and so on among the Lizardmen, even though these iron weapons can easily rust away in swamps.
Rocky's gaze didn't linger on the ordinary black iron level lizardman warriors and low-level warlocks, but looked at the two leading lizardmen, who were taller than the other lizardmen, almost three meters.
These two lizardmen are the most powerful and powerful high priests and leaders of this lizardmen tribe, and they are the only two lizardmen who can threaten Rocky.
One of them was holding a huge trident seven meters long, and the other was holding a quaint wooden stick with a withered yellow color, and their identities were easily recognizable.
It is useless to deal with a powerful creature like the three-headed snake lizard, and an ordinary lizardman warrior like Zaha is difficult to break through even the skin defense of the three-headed snake lizard unless he controls the bed crossbow used by the human army to siege the city, or is armed with a magical alchemy weapon.
Therefore, when the lizard-man priest and leader led the tribal warriors who had stepped into the transcendent realm to leave the tribal camp, those ordinary lizardmen just came out to bless these warriors and see them off, and there was no situation where the entire tribe went out to encircle and suppress them.
This undoubtedly gave Rocky a lot of convenience, he could rely on the black dragon's special camouflage bonus to the swamp environment, and easily follow the lizardman team without worrying about being discovered by the lizardmen.
The lizardmen march very fast, probably because they are afraid that if there is no strong man to guard it for a long time, the tribal camp will be prone to accidents.
Two hours later, Rocky followed the team of lizardmen to the spawning ground of the three-headed snake lizard, an island in the middle of the lake in the green fog area.
Because the three-headed snake lizard lays its eggs here, there are no powerful beasts and magical creatures within ten kilometers of the island in the middle of the lake that dare to stay, but there are some hands and feet missing from the lizardman team.
The lizard-man priest and leader were more familiar with the situation here than Rocky, and after they led the team to stay outside the three-headed lizard's warning range for a while, the leader with the trident in his hand rushed to the location of the island in the middle of the lake with a dozen black iron warriors, and the rest of the lizardman warriors went under the command of the high priest.
A short time after the leader of the lizardmen rushed in, Rocky heard the angry roar of the three-headed snake lizard, and then a powerful aura that he felt suppressed rose from the side of the island in the middle of the lake, and soon the aura moved in this direction.
Seeing this, Rocky's eyes froze slightly, and he muttered in a low voice, "Lure the snake out of the hole?" It seems that these lizardmen are not too stupid. ”
