Chapter 276: The Legend of Scorpio
Suddenly, the falling tomahawk stopped, the blade of the axe was only a few millimeters from Murphy's back, and the crocodile man wielding the tomahawk became stationary along with the tomahawk, and Murphy, who sensed the abnormality, looked back and found a black bird hovering in the sky behind the crocodile warrior.
"Thank you, Lilith!" exclaimed Catherine, full of joy.
Before he could finish speaking, a javelin flew from not far away, piercing the head of the crocodile warrior, and the crocodile dropped the tomahawk in his hand and fell backwards to the ground.
"The monkeys have come to rob me of my credit, too!" Little Furball put away the immobilization beam and looked back angrily in Lisa's direction, only to see that she avoided the fighting crocodile and lizardmen, and deftly crossed the battlefield to Murphy and Catherine.
"Quick, let's get out of here!" Lisa stepped forward to help Murphy up, but a lizardman warrior suddenly rushed to his side, brandished a halberd and stabbed Lisa, Lisa raised the javelin in her hand to hold the lizardman's record, Catherine raised her hand and shot the lizardman in the jaw, and the lizardman fell on his back in a pool of blood.
"Lilith, cover us!" Catherine shouted to the little furball in the air as she got up from the ground.
"It's so troublesome, there are ugly lizards and ugly crocodiles everywhere!" the little owl looked around the three of them, and suddenly had an idea, and shouted: "Group Transfiguration!"
I saw a dazzling red light flashing, and all the crocodiles and lizardmen under the little furball were turned into small insects and small animals, and the little furball laughed happily and laughed loudly: "Okay, it's easy now!"
Before the words fell, she was suddenly stunned for a moment, turned her little head to look around the ground, and asked suspiciously: "Hey, where did they go stupid girls?"
"Lilith, turn us back!" a faint voice came from a mess of small animals below, and the little furball slapped its little head with its wings, and exclaimed, "Oh, this is terrible!"
She hastily lifted the spell, and all the Transfiguration affected people beneath her feet were all turned back to their original ways, and the scene was once again in chaos, with flying swords flying all around Catherine, Murphy, and Lisa, and the scene became even more chaotic.
"Follow me!" Murphy led the way with a lightning sword, Lisa handed her javelin to Catherine, took a lizardman halberd from the corpse of a crocodile, and Catherine followed Murphy left and right, and the three of them fought to the edge of the battlefield with Lilith's guidance and help.
Relying on Lilith's immobilization and transfiguration, Murphy and the other three finally broke out of the siege and climbed the hills near the river valley, the lizardmen and crocodile tribes who were busy fighting did not chase them, and the three of them stood on the hill and looked at the two armies in the melee below, and they all had a sense of happiness that they would not die.
"By the way, where is Mr. Rogge?" Catherine suddenly remembered, and turned back to the little furball that landed on her shoulder, "Also, Monica is gone!"
"Monica is with the bad wolf!" Little Furball was not worried at all, lowered his head and combed his feathers with his paws and said, "She was almost eaten by the ugly crocodile just now, and it was the bad wolf who saved her, so the bad wolf asked me to come and help you, and he took Monica to find the stinky priest and the garlic grower!"
"What is the garlic grow?" asked Catherine, looking at her blankly.
"It's Wood, Rogge used to laugh at his garlic ......," Murphy said, shrugging an eyebrow.
"Then what are we going to do, wait for them here?" Catherine looked down at the chaotic valley below, full of crocodile tribes and lizardmen, and couldn't see the whereabouts of Rog and the others.
"Let Lilith look for it, we'll wait here, and if Lilith finds them, bring them here to rendezvous. Murphy suggested to the two.
Catherine and Lisa agreed with his suggestion, and the little furball flew into the valley again, skimming over the battlefield, a pair of eagle eyes pinpointing Rogge's position from the night, and a swoop landed on his shoulder.
"Did you find the Stinky Priest and the Garlic Chief?" asked the little furball by waving his wings at the little flower spirit and staring back at Rogge.
"No, it stands to reason that you should have done this kind of thing, how about it, Catherine, are they all safe?" said Rog as he bent down and lowered his head, dodging past the two crocodile and lizardman warriors who were wrestling, and with a flicker of sideways flashed a halberd stabbed by a lizardman, accompanied by a blade light that slid past him.
Dropping the lizardman warrior whose head slipped off, Rog continued to search, and at the same time heard the little furball say, "They're all right, waiting for you on the mountain over there, when are we going to find out!"
"If you go to the heavens to help me find it now, then we can go back to dinner soon!" Rog leaped forward, stepped on the axe handle of a crocodile warrior and flew past, and as he landed, he kicked the halberd stuck in a corpse with his heel, kicking it backwards and flying it right in the chest.
"Hmph, I don't believe you!" Little Furball snorted arrogantly, flapped his wings and flew away, Rogge glanced at the direction she was leaving, and muttered in a low voice, "What a duplicitous snack." ”
He continued to search forward with the little flower spirit, and leaped like an ape past the burly crocodile and lizard, when suddenly Lilith fell from the sky and cried out in his ear, "I found the stinky priest and the garlic grower, and they ran to the mountain over there!"
Rog stopped on his feet, looked back in the direction pointed by the little furball, and sure enough, he saw two figures ascending the hill on the right one after the other, and they stood in place and looked into the valley for a while, then turned and disappeared behind the hill.
"Shall we catch up with them?" asked the little furball as he looked back at Rogge.
Before the words fell, the little flower spirit flying on the other side of Rogge suddenly shouted: "Look at the mountain over there, is that Catherine and them?"
"Something must have happened, that gun has already summoned undead shelling when it was in the Dreadnore Garden, and it can't be summoned again anytime soon, it must be Catherine using it to report to us!"
Lilith immediately used the shrinking technique to shrink Rogge, and then let him ride on her back with Little Flower Spirit and fly towards the three people who were surrounded.
On the edge of the cliff on the hill, Murphy, Catherine, and Lisa stood in a triangle with each weapon in hand, and Murphy held a thunderbolt sword in front of him to protect the two girls, and his eyes were vigilant as he watched the crocodiles surrounding him.
Suddenly, a burly crocodile man walked up through the crowd, looked at Murphy and the two girls behind him, and after a moment of scrutiny, he suddenly spoke in a thick voice: "I'm Shrek, who are you, why did humans come here?"
"We were passing through here and strayed into the battlefield. Murphy replied, staring calmly at the commander's crocodile face.
"Mistakenly entered the battlefield?" "Shrek, a thousand-legup in heavy armor, let out a few distrustful snorts from his long mouth full of fangs, and circled around the three of them with a giant axe in his hand, and asked: "You brought an Amazonian as a guide, it can be seen that you were prepared in advance, you should not have been bought by the lizardmen, right?"
"We have nothing to do with the lizardmen!" Murphy said without hesitation.
"Then why did you appear near my command camp?" Shrek sneered, his eyes were cold and cast on Murphy's face and said, "Recently, I have heard a lot of reports that there are strange figures around the barracks, and they look like human figures, it should be a few of you!"
"No, you're mistaken, we have nothing to do with the lizardmen, and besides, if we're really the lizardmen's spies and came to kill you, then we might as well take the lizardmen's army up the mountain directly!
After hearing this, Shrek looked back at his guards, and pondered for a moment to feel that Murphy's words also made sense, he secretly set up the command camp here, just to go to the front line to command, but the terrain here is not easy to defend, if the lizardmen really know the inside story, it should be very easy to send troops to attack.
"Okay, I'll trust you once, but even so, I can't let you go until the battle, I can't allow you to leave until I confirm your identity......" Shrek paused when he said this, and his tone suddenly became cold: "...... Or kill you!"
He was about to order the guards to catch the three of them when Murphy suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!" Shrek turned his head to stare at him, and heard him say, "If your great patriarch Gustav had seen me, you wouldn't have that thought!"
"What?" Shrek, the thousand-legged commander, opened a pair of small eyes when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "How do you know the name of the great patriarch?"
"Not only did I know his name, but I also knew that his nickname was 'The Butcher,' and it was called so by all the tribes of the swamp that everyone had forgotten his name. Murphy spoke unhurriedly, and finally added: "Except for your own people, perhaps, but none of you dare to call him by his name." ”
"Who the hell are you?" asked Shrek, the thousand-leggon, looking him up and down curiously.
"Scorpio. Murphy said lightly.
"Scorpio ......" Shrek pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "I remember, many years ago, there was indeed a human nicknamed Scorpio who came here, he was alone, claiming to be here to get the bipedal wyvern egg, he not only took the egg alive, but also defeated the first warrior of our clan in our warrior conference!"
"That's right, that first warrior is your Great Patriarch - Gustav 'the Butcher'!" a faint smile appeared on Murphy's lips.
"I didn't expect Murphy to have such a powerful past!" Catherine whispered to Lisa, who looked at her curiously and asked softly, "Isn't he your companion?
Catherine shook her head silently, looked at Murphy's back with admiration, and heard Shrek say, "You're right, 'Scorpio' is an eternal friend of the Crocodile Clan, and a warrior we admire, and his legend has been circulating among our Clan for many years, and almost everyone knows it!"
Speaking of this, Shrek, the commander, changed his words, stared at Murphy with murderous eyes and said, "However, most of us haven't seen the real 'Scorpion', and I can't be sure if you're real, unless you can show me it!"
