The vast lizard swamp is actually a huge basin. Due to its low-lying terrain, during the rainy season, the water of the Jinshui River swells, and the river floods into the basin, forming lakes of various sizes, while countless low hills become dense islands.

In the fourth month of the water season, the sky and the earth are snowing, the temperature drops to freezing, and the lizard swamp becomes a world covered in snow and ice. At this time, the aborigines of the swamp will hide in their nests and wait quietly for the arrival of the earthly season. This is the calmest time of the year in the Everglades.

At this time, a fierce battle was in full swing in the depths of the swamp.

"Roar!"

The furious roar of the swamp dragon lizard shattered the silence of the ten miles radius, and the nearby swamp natives woke up one after another, and instead of crawling out curiously, they hid deep in their nests, not showing the slightest breath.

Every swamp dragon lizard is a ferocious beast. Their sturdy bodies grant them brutal strength, astonishing agility, and terrifying physical strength, and their extraordinary regenerative racial talents, combined with the feral instincts of ferocious animals, make these ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts some of the best predators in the Swamp.

The swamp dragon lizard, though fierce and ferocious, is not enough to deter other top predators, especially during the water-scarce season, when any bloody killing will attract the greedy eyes of pretenders. Poor and huge beasts like six-legged crocodiles and giant dragons don't care who is hunting, they just want a piece of the pie, and as for the snake demons that move in groups, the swamp dragon lizards will run away when they see them.

However, two quarters of an hour had passed since the swamp dragon lizard's roar continued to rise, and no beast had broken into the battlefield. This is because it is a behemoth beast with a body length of more than 19 meters that makes the roar. The beast was a full four circles larger than an ordinary dragon lizard, 3 meters tall on its pillar-like limbs alone, and when it was fully standing, its shoulders were 5 meters above the ground, its hideous claws could effortlessly hold down hundreds of pounds of capybara, its metallic dark scales the size of a child's palm, and its massive head and bloody mouth full of sharp teeth could completely devour an adult.

The sheer size and two vicious heads, as well as the thorny tail, suggest that it is an alienated swamp dragon lizard. It is Itugos, revered by the lizardmen as the beast of the water.

Itugos is the overlord of the region, and its ferocious predators within a radius of 400 kilometers have long since been slaughtered.

It's been a long time since the inhabitants of the nearby swamps have heard the roar of battle in Itugos, and an opponent who can make a Lord-level beast so manic must be a terrifying fellow. Whether it's a wise lizardfolk or a cautious and timid beast, choose wisely to hide yourself. And those unlucky ghosts who were affected by the battle found before they died that they were fighting against the giant ** with a group of strange creatures that they had never seen before.

They walk upright like lizardmen, small enough to even touch the belly of a giant beast, with no tails, scales, or fangs and claws. These little guys, who looked weak and delicious, made the overlord beast roar and embarrassment, and the thick tail was tightly tucked under the belly, which was particularly funny.

"Whew!"

Itugos roared again, its massive claws slamming into an annoyed little thing. But the little creature slid out of the water like a sturgeon in the water, its huge claws pressed heavily into the clearing, grabbing hundreds of pounds of snow and snow and mud and slamming it into the cunning creatures.

Throwing an opponent with dirt is no longer a beast's trick, and Itugos's four tawny vertical pupils reveal anger, nervousness, anxiety, and worry from time to time, and it's hard to imagine that a bloodthirsty alienated beast can express such a rich human expression.

The silt and ice are fanned down with 5 agile little things, these bursts of silt and snowflakes have the effect of obscuring vision and slowing down, and the powerful kinetic ice blocks are enough to smash the strongest capybara. But Itugos knew that such an attack would be futile, and the five small things flipped and moved, nimbly avoiding the whistling ice, but inevitably hit by the silt, and this was the opportunity that Itugos painstakingly created.

"Aang!"

With a heart-rending roar, the giant beast took a sharp step, one huge head pressed against the ground and spewed a powerful air current, and the other head was held high, and the next moment it was about to launch a lightning bite!

Throw sludge to slow down your enemies, roar to scare your enemies' movements, spit air currents to disrupt your balance, and lightning bites to end your enemies' lives. This whole set of tactics was designed to take out only one enemy, and although there were dozens of such enemies, Itugos failed.

"Poof!" "Whoosh!"

The bolt of a pigeon's egg slammed into Itugos's raised head, and the terrible sound of breaking through the air could be heard, and the pinprick-like pain made the beast furious, and the lightning bite was interrupted by the beast's furious instincts.

"Hmm!"

On the island a few kilometers away, the wizard Emerson snorted, and the sudden sting caused the red rune aura to scatter slightly. He endured a sharp pinprick pain in his cheek and struggled to keep the red runes moving. In the void 10 centimeters away from his face, the mysterious fiery red rune regained its stability and slowly rotated in an esoteric way.

At the same time, Itugos stopped pursuing the culprit who had hurt him, and raised his head to search for the captured master, and when he saw that the enemy who was carrying the little master was running away, he strode after him, and the enemies around him followed him unrelentingly, harassing it incessantly.

No chasing!

The wizard Imerson breathed a sigh of relief, and the stinging pain on his cheek subsided, and it was clear that Itugos had used his strong muscles to squeeze out the crossbow bolt on his face, and in a few breaths, the insignificant wound healed. But the sharp pain in the chrysanthemum became more and more intense, and Imerson's face was painfully deformed, which was the negative effect of witchcraft - wisdom guidance.

Strong paternal love triumphs over unbearable pain, and Emerson chases his beloved daughter through the eyes of Itugos, while also observing these powerful humans, and constantly thinking about how to rescue Bell.

Esmosen has infiltrated the Everglades with Bell for 11 years to escape the Church of Radiance, where he survives the treacherous lizard swamp with his knowledge of will and the sorcery of alien creatures.

At first, Emerson used dozens of rats as bodyguards, and life was very difficult, until he succeeded in alienating a swamp dragon lizard and keeping it as his main object. Nourished by flesh and blood, the swamp dragon lizard quickly grew into a two-headed alien dragon lizard, which Emerson gave it the name Philip and the lizardmen called it the water monster: Itugos.

The mighty Itugos helped the father and daughter carve out 400 square kilometers of territory and occupy a place in the Swamp. With Itugos' deterrence, the Half-Dragon tribe no longer harassed the Evensen father and daughter, and the two established a cold coexistence. The half-dragon people are fierce and savage, but after all, they are intelligent species, with the in-depth exchanges between the two sides and mutual benefit, the lives of the Emerson father and daughter have gradually stabilized, and the living materials have been enriched a lot.

The security of life made Imerson let his guard down, and Bale ran out to play longer and farther away. Something finally happened today.

This morning, Bell went out to play accompanied by ten alien rats, and did not return until noon, Emerson was not worried at the time, the beasts within a radius of twenty kilometers were either eaten by Philip or escaped, and only ten alien rats could ensure Bell's safety. However, the moment the alien rat's soul connection was broken, Emerson knew that Bell was in distress.

Emerson hurriedly summoned Philip and used his wisdom to guide him to rescue Bell.

Wisdom guides Eimosen's soul to fit into Philip, and through Philip's perception, he can observe the outside world and guide Philip's actions, and all of Philip's feelings are projected onto him.

Philip is huge, and his strength is not known how many times stronger than that of ordinary dragon lizards, but his agility inevitably decreases a little, but he takes every step extremely far, and when he runs with all his might, he quickly arrives at the place of the incident, but in this short quarter of an hour, all ten alien rats died.

A terrified Imerson saw a group of heavily armed human soldiers and a pack of ferocious wolves, who had killed all the alien rats, but fortunately they did not harm Bell, but instead quickly retreated with her, judging from the direction in which they fled, it seemed that they had already known that Philip was after them.

Imerson didn't think much of it, what he hated most was the villain who tried to kidnap Bale, and Philip pounced on him under his guidance, and the battle broke out.

The powerful combat power of this group of soldiers startled Imerson, and in the face of the terrifying two-headed alienated dragon lizard, they were not afraid at all, and their agile movements were beyond ordinary people, and they kept fighting back with the powerful crossbows in their hands while dodging attacks. Even though the crossbow bolts they shot were almost ineffective against Philip, they didn't stop the seemingly useless attack.

Imerson was no uninformed farmer, having been a vassal of the Greer family and the baron's head of hunting before he fled. These men were far more powerful than ordinary soldiers, and Emerson felt that they were trainee knights, if not knights. However, the Greer family did not even have a full knight, only 2 apprentice knights. Those two apprentice knights are usually rare to see, and when Emerson occasionally sees them, they are all hugging each other, and there are 47 people here!

What is the concept of 47 probationary knights? Imerson never thought about it, he only knew that the apprentice knights were noble and bigwigs, and they were always surrounded by guards, so how could they go deep into the swamp and engage in human trafficking? There were 47 at one time?

Later, Emerson discovered more strange things, these people were more agile than apes, and could always avoid Philip's claws and bites at the slightest moment. Maybe the Trainee Knight has the ability, but he definitely can't do it!

Philip's sheer size and hideous aura were enough to scare the weaker creatures into daunting their lives, and when it let out a fear-shattering roar, even the ogres panicked.

When Philip attacked the ogre camp and tore two adult ogres apart in quick succession, the ogre leader fought with it. The ogre leader was whipped all over the ground by Philip and went straight into a state of rage, splitting Philip's flesh with an obsidian axe, causing several terrible wounds, but the powerful regenerative power of the alienated dragon lizard made it desperate. Finally, the scarred ogre leader retreated with his clansmen, and Philip's terrifying roar rang out in the air.

That battle established Philip's supremacy, and the Half-Dragons revered him as Itugos.

Philip's Courageous Roar has a deterrent effect on lower-tier creatures, making them weak and unable to move, a fear that stems from the instinct of life. In this state, how much combat power can the trainee knight exert? As long as he hesitates, he will be slapped into meat sauce by Philip. However, these human warriors were completely immune to Philip's daring roar, and exerted 100% combat effectiveness, calmly responding to the battle between life and death without changing their faces.

In fact, Emerson suspects that these fighters are not human at all!

The two-headed dragon lizard may seem clumsy, but it also has the ability to attack quickly. Tail strikes and lightning bites kill these agile warriors repeatedly. Philip unleashed a lightning bite and succeeded in picking up two enemies in succession. The two warriors who had been bitten off actually stabbed Philip's tongue with their short swords in his mouth!

Until now, Imerson's tongue still hurts a little, and these fearless and painless fighters make him shudder.

There is no fear, ignoring the pain, even if the powerful warriors make Emerson feel terrifying, Philip will always kill them all, but the wisdom they show makes Emerson tremble.

Philip's tail strike was swifter than the lightning bite, smashing three enemies. But the warriors also seized the opportunity and shot Philip through the back door with their crossbows......

The extreme pain almost interrupted the wisdom guidance, and Emerson clamped his buttocks, endured the sharp pain, and guided Philip to clamp his tail as well, so that the tail blow naturally could not be used. And the warriors also found a way to deal with the lightning bite, and they had three terrifying heavy crossbows, enough to shoot through Philip's scale armor and interrupt Philip's attack. Emerson tried to guide Philip to destroy the heavy crossbows, but failed. These dozens of warriors cooperated with each other and threw the crossbow around, leaving Philip with no way to claw.

Fortunately, these "apprentice knights" had nothing to do with Philip but to escape. Philip was able to catch up with the man who had taken Bell hostage, but his massive body was an obstacle to rescuing Bell. You can't even catch Bell to death, right?

Emerson sent all the alien rats out, and they all died! Dead at the bews of those ferocious wolves! Emerson was remorseful, knowing that he should have cultivated more alienated rats.

Drawing flesh is an alienated creature instinct. The more flesh and blood eaten, the higher the degree of mutation of alienated creatures, so Imerson simply can't afford to raise too many alienated rats, and after having the swamp dragon lizard, he also deliberately sacrificed half of the alienated rats, just to focus on cultivating Philip. There are less than twenty Alien Rats left, and Emerson usually lets them sleep underground, only letting them eat once every three days, which also minimizes the combat power of Alien Rats. Otherwise, it will not be easily bitten to death by the ferocious wolf.

The battle between Philip and these "apprentice knights" is like a bear fighting a wild bee, and no one can help anyone. The situation is deadlocked.

The only way now is to use Philip's perverted physical strength to drag these warriors down alive...... They can't push too hard, lest they hurt Bell.

Just as Imerson was calculating his countermeasures, a cold dagger rested on his neck.

"Wild mage, you are attacking the logistics system of the Empire, according to the military regulations of the Empire, I order you to stop the attack and wait for the interrogation of the master!"

The sharp chill in his throat and the indifferent voice sent Emerson's heart to the bottom.

"Sill, I think you should go and get trained by Instructor Barrett. Like this case...... That's how it should be!"

"Bang!"

The root behind his ear was hit hard, and Imerson's eyes went black, and before he was completely lost, he saw the rune aura turn into bits of brilliance and dissipate into the air.

Finished!

At this moment, the giant beast Itugos was free! It lowered its tail and roared and rushed at the guy who had just hurt it, the spirit monkey militia turned and ran, and several war mastiffs chased after it, and the deafening roar faded away, and the other militiamen quickly withdrew east with Bell.
