In the dim underground world, the kobold Hagu lowered his body, and a pair of pupils trembled slightly, shrinking towards the shape of a vertical line.

"Here, there's a passage to the earth?"

The kobold's clutched weapon, which appeared to be made from the bones of some kind of creature, pressed horizontally as his body pressed down.

Judging by its body dynamics, it is a long-handled weapon that resembles an axe and a staff, ready to be thrown or swept away by enemies within two meters.

And beneath him, the toothed dragon lizard with a mineral-gray body and a head densely covered with raised lumps like ore also opened its mouth slightly, and its claws opened to the sides as its body was lowered, and it could leap out at any time, destroying the opponent's armor or shell with its huge fangs with dense sharp teeth, and then tearing apart the enemy's body.

Its pupils, which were also constricting, turning from oval to slit, suggested that the area was not as dark as the previous pathway.

The kobold Hagu, who had a black and gray color, clenched the bone weapon in his hand, even though he had awakened his spell-like abilities.

Although he didn't have a clear idea of what this power from the depths of his bloodline should be called, and he wasn't sure whether it should be called a spell or a quasi-spell, he knew very well that his power didn't require much preparation compared to abilities that needed to be learned and materials to use.

Knowing this, that's enough.

When his weapon slashes at his enemy, the power of the scales of the toothed dragon lizard beneath him will be corroded, surprising his enemy.

Or if the enemy thinks of him as a normal kobold who can only fight in close combat and chooses to fight from a distance, the acid breath he spits will surprise the enemy.

If the opponent chooses to melee with him, then his scale armor, which is harder than other kobolds, will also surprise the opponent even more when the opponent's surprise attack fails.

Warlocks are a greater threat than enemies who can only fight in close quarters, and Hagu, who has faced various enemies time and time again, is well aware of this.

That's why he chose to dress like this, one that made him look like an ordinary kobold.

And the remains of some kind of hard-boned, acid-resistant underground creature - bones comparable to even metal weapons, fragile as they look, but in terms of hardness and durability, they will surprise those who despise him even more.

"Go ahead, Hodhu."

Hagu tugged at the reins embedded in the raised scales of the toothed dragon's face, and drove his mount forward.

......

Although it is not known how much the enemy likes the word surprise, it is clearly not suitable for him to describe his state of mind.

"Dogs, kobolds?"

The humanoid creature with scaly skin and a crocodile and lizard-like head on its back was more appealing to him than the four-legged lizard, which was supposed to be nearly five meters long.

Don't be too familiar with this kind of creature that appears in a wide variety of fantasy works.

People who are accustomed to literal reading may think of it as a humanoid creature with a dog's head.

However, if it were to be described by appearance, "Lizardmen" might be a closer choice.

The origin of the kobold name is not clear, probably because the shape of the early image resembles a dog?

Habit becomes natural, even if the image and title do not correspond, the kobold title is still used.

Of course, there are also some people who have never been exposed to the origin of the title, and they really create it according to the literal meaning of the word, and create a literal kobold monster......

But that's not what he needs to care about right now.

Although kobolds are basically low-level monsters with ecological niches close to goblins in various works, he has no ability to resist for the current earth.

What to do?

Earthwalk's "gaze" was fixed on the forelimbs of the strangely shaped reptile.

He didn't forget that although this creature belongs to the bottom of fantasy works, it is also an intelligent creature.

He didn't know if his gaze would attract the attention of the other party.

The "gaze" of the Ground Walk swept over the pie chart progress bar of the [Creation Ward], and the progress bar did not progress at all.

Moreover, it is too reluctant to rely on the jaw-dwelling dragon to fight against such an enemy.

There seems to be only one choice......

[Deployment Core] [Core Change] [Core Posture]

[Fabrication Guard] [Extended Core] [Material Mining]

【Core Research】【Incubation Research】【Artificial Evolution】

Put away the core and run away?

His gaze turned to the Core Change.

However, after putting away the core, he didn't have a guard to carry it, he had already tried, and he couldn't move it on his own.

So......

[Core Posture]?

Convert yourself into a combat unit.

After glancing at the progress bar disc that had barely gone much, Di Xing clicked into the [Incubation Unit] and chose to cancel the hatching of the beautiful jaw dragon guard.

The scarlet-colored jawed dragon egg that appeared beside him vanished.

【Return of incubation materials】

In the material library, the icon of the jaw-like dragon has reappeared.

However, the energy used in the incubation function was not returned, and it was still 3/5.

Do you really want to convert to Jaws?

[Core Stance], each core can only be used once, if he changes the core stance, then it cannot be used later.

Needless to say, the Jaws are not a powerful unit.

Even if it can be strengthened through [Core Research] [Artificial Evolution], it is obvious that the basic ability is too low.

However, in terms of the number and quality of labels, the jaws are also good, except for the label of "small", which is not good or bad, there are no negative labels......

However, at this moment, he suddenly found that in his field of vision, the strange lizard ridden by the kobold twitched his nose slightly, stopped his movements, and turned his head to look in another direction.

The earth line also cast its gaze.

At the edge of his field of vision, a light came from it, and in what seemed to lead to the ground, a strange mouse appeared like a mouse, but with a long tail densely covered with scales.

It was this creature that attracted the attention of kobolds.

Immediately, the kobold riding the strange lizard pulled the reins made of unknown materials, causing the strange lizard to turn in the direction of the scaly-tailed rat.

The scaly-tailed rat didn't know if it was frightened or to hide its movements, so it stopped moving, and its eyes were staring directly at the kobold's position, as if on alert.

And the next moment, the kobold pulled the reins, and the strange lizard opened its mouth slightly, revealing its huge fangs that did not match its posture, and its front and rear limbs were raised, gradually accelerating towards the scaly-tailed rat, and rushing away.

This is ..... Out of danger?

Dixing breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the movement of the scaly-tailed rat in the distance screaming and starting to scurry, the earth line couldn't help but come up with the idea that "after the other party kills the scaly-tailed rat, he will leave directly".

However, this idea only flashed for a moment, and was abandoned by the earth line-

Pin your hopes on others and try to avoid danger by relying on luck......

The last thing he liked was to bet on that possibility.

At the moment when the kobold rode the monster lizard with giant teeth to attack, Jixing immediately focused his attention on the [Core Posture].

【Core Posture】

[Confirmation? Yes / No]

be

【Core Energy:3/5】→【2/5】

If someone approached him, close to the core, they would find that a silhouette was rapidly condensing.

It was the silhouette of the jaw-dwelling dragon that appeared again in his "body".

At this moment, in the ovoid core, it quickly solidifies.

And at this moment, Jixing felt it, and a completely different feeling emerged from when he was originally a human.

In his body, a heart belonging to the jawed dragon agitated.

Subconsciously, he tried to put his arms to his chest, trying to look towards his chest.

And this time, his consciousness finally had physical feedback.

Click-

As if something had cracked, a creature with a slender jaw and three-fingered forelimbs emerged from the cracked ovoid core.

That strange sense, the vision of feeling things through "fluctuations" has not disappeared, and in this dim underground, Dixing clearly sees the whole picture of his body.

It was a small dinosaur that was slightly larger than a domestic chicken, slightly smaller than a turkey, and had a slender body and a brownish-green body.

If the body length is calculated according to one meter, then the body height of this beautiful jawed dragon should be close to about forty centimeters.

On the slender skull, the eyes occupy no small proportions.

Compared with the pictures in the illustrated book, while becoming the first perspective, with the help of the special sense of feeling "fluctuations", his examination of his own state is more clear.

However, he has not forgotten what kind of environment he is in.

At the moment when the oval core shell turned into the kind of "fluctuation" that ingested the underground debris and returned to his body, the eyes of the earth walked in the direction of the kobold.

From this point of view, the massive megalodon lizard was undoubtedly a behemoth.

And at this moment, he saw that the scaly-tailed rat was approaching by the strange lizard and trying to escape, and the kobold opened his mouth violently and spat out a mouthful of black and gray things.

Although it was not accurately hit, the black-gray object was clearly some kind of liquid, and as the scaly-tailed rat dodged, the black liquid that hit the ground exploded and splashed onto the scaly-tailed rat's body.

And then—

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the scaly-tailed rat's body was corroded and penetrated, and even the internal organs of the scaly-tailed rat could be clearly seen through the erosion.

In the next moment, a gray shadow streaked, and the kobold's tomahawk-like weapon swept through the air, and the corroded and crippled scaly-tailed rat was pierced by the spikes on the axe.

As the kobold's claws pulled and loosened on the handle of the axe, his claws were held at the bottom of the blade, and with his other hand he familiarly grasped the scaly-tailed rat, which was still struggling instinctively, tore it off, and threw it into his mouth with a squeak.

Click-

The moment the lemp-tailed screams ended in the chewing of the bones, the kobold's head turned, and the reins were pulled again, looking into the depths of the dimly mundane crypt.

The keen perception brought by the bloodline made him sure that there was indeed something in that direction.

At the moment when the tusk dragon lizard's claws moved with its head, a chill rose in the heart of the earth.

Dangerous!
