Three months later.

Arcadia returned to the Wakanda Jungle as promised.

This time, she returned as the deputy leader of the "Morgan Expedition Team".

The captain was none other than Dr. Edward Morgan.

When he learned from Arcadia that his only son was still alive, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he wanted to grow wings and fly back to the Wakanda jungle at once.

However, work forced him to be patient, and after some preparation, he finally pulled up an expedition team.

After five years, the doctor returned to the rainforest in the name of scientific research to find his lost son.

Arcadia volunteered to be a guide for the teacher.

Thinking back to the thrilling encounter during the last expedition from the forest, Arcadia also learned to be obedient after suffering a loss.

For security reasons, this aristocratic lady with deep pockets spent a lot of money to hire a mercenary team to serve as the bodyguard of the scientific expedition group.

The leader of the mercenary team is named Hesse, a famous veteran of the battlefield during the War of Succession.

An extremely burly middle-aged man with a beard on his face that can't hide his scar.

Behind him is a giant sword, and his eyes reveal a gloomy and cold temperament.

The captain of Hesse soon found an opportunity to prove that he was worthy of the high commission.

The expedition team left the ship and went ashore to the village where Tazan had settled.

On the way, I passed through a swamp and suddenly heard the sound of fighting.

The two sides of the conflict are Wakandan and Lizardmen.

The cold-blooded lizardmen, covered in turquoise scales, are the most representative subhuman race in the rainforest.

To be fair, lizardfolk are not inherently evil.

It's just that these subhumans, who live in the depths of the swamp, are more savage than the Wakandans in the eyes of visitors from the civilized world.

Lizardfolk also have good reason to hate humans.

The Wakandans often come to the swamps to fish and hunt, encroaching on their territory.

The two sides have frequently clashed fiercely over this.

This scuffle on the edge of the swamp is nothing more than a commonplace racial friction.

The Doctor and his party are trying to quietly bypass the conflict zone.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky, and I walked not far away, and in the bushes in front of me, a group of lizardmen suddenly rushed out.

Holding a flint spear and a scaly reptilian face, it is murderous!

The two sides met in a narrow way, and they were all stunned.

The leader of the lizardmen was the first to come back to his senses.

Spit out your forked tongue and hiss at this side.

Everyone in the scientific expedition team looked at each other and did not understand their meaning.

Only the learned Dr. Morgan could hear that the other party was speaking the ancient dragon language.

Hurriedly stepped forward, speaking an unfamiliar dragon language, trying to explain to the lizardmen that he was just a passer-by, and had no intention of intervening in the conflict between the lizardmen and the Wakandans.

Unfortunately, the communication between the two sides was not pleasant.

The lizardman leader, reluctantly accepting the doctor's words, agrees to let them go, but on one condition.

The scientific expedition team must leave all the iron weapons on their bodies!

Especially the swords worn by the mercenaries and the chain mail they wear.

In the rainforest area, iron ore is scarce, and the iron smelting process is also very backward.

Good steel forged armor and weapons are especially precious!

The leader of the lizardmen, seeing that everyone was well-equipped, couldn't help but be greedy and wanted to collect some tolls.

Hearing Dr. Morgan translate the lizardman's request, the mercenaries immediately burst into a rage!

Ask them to hand over their armor and weapons?

"Dream your ×!"

"Arrogant lizardmen, look for death!"

The crowd is furious, and the sword is unsheathed!

"Don't make a noise!"

Captain Hesse scolded, and his mercenaries fell silent.

"Dr. Morgan, please pay tribute to the lizardman leader on my behalf."

Captain Hesse said with a calm face.

"We can discuss the matter of handing over the weapons."

Doctor in the center of the translation.

The leader of the lizardmen, his gloomy face has improved.

The compatriots behind him, the spear that was originally raised high, slowly put down.

Captain Hesse, in front of everyone on both sides, took off his helmet and took off his chain mail.

The giant sword that was lying diagonally behind him was also removed.

With gear in both hands, he strode towards the lizardmen.

The lizardman leader, with his arms crossed over his chest, crooked his mouth.

A lizardman brother next to him stepped forward to take over Captain Hesse's equipment.

A disarmed, bare-handed human is no threat in the eyes of the lizardmen.

However, they soon paid the price of blood for this prejudice.

The moment the handover was completed, Captain Hesse suddenly stomped his foot!

Bang!!

The ground shook violently beneath his feet, and the earth flew up.

Tier 2 Martial Arts - Earthquake Strike!

Captain Hesse stomped down with a foot infused with magic power, and within fifteen meters of the surrounding area, it caused a local earthquake!

All the lizardmen, who happened to be in the earthquake zone, were caught off guard and almost all of them fell.

Only the leader of the lizardmen, holding on to the violently shaking trunk, was still struggling to hold on.

Captain Hesse himself was not affected by the earthquake in the slightest.

With a sneer, he strode forward and approached the lizardman leader.

"Hiss - human! Cunning! Damn it! ”

Annoyed, the lizardman leader picked up his spear with one hand and stabbed Hesse in the chest.

Boom!

A sharp, flint-polished spear pierced Hesse's chest, which lacked armor protection, and shot out a string of sparks!

Captain Hesse is proficient in the third-order body refining hard skill, and when he is hit by a spear in the chest, his face does not change.

With angry eyes and spears on his back, he strode forward.

Squeak squeak –

The wooden spear shaft was bent into a bow by him.

The lizardman leader leans away from the trunk of a tree, his hands shaking.

Barely able to hold the shaft of the spear.

Click!!

The spear, which was overwhelmed, finally broke.

The lizardman leader screamed, turned his head and ran.

Captain Hesse grabbed half of the spearhead and threw it out.

Poof!

The tip of the spear hit the back of the lizardman leader, and it came out through the chest.

The corpse fell to the ground with a poof, and pools of blood spread.

At the same time, Arcadia was not idle, and together with the mercenaries, she beat the water dogs.

The lizardmen, who were knocked over by Captain Hesse, were beaten before they could get up.

The boss is dead, and the minions have no intention of fighting.

Leaving behind several corpses, he crawled and fled.

Ending this fierce and short battle, Arcadia came to Hesse with two swords, in hand.

"The natives who are besieged by the lizardmen on the other side of the swamp are all residents of Ta Hui Village!"

"The simple natives who gave us a warm welcome! Now that they are in trouble, we cannot stand idly by! ”

"What's more, there's Tazan's affection!"

"Captain! Take your men and horses, and follow me to save people! ”

"Hehe......"

Captain Hesse sneered and shook his head.

"Miss, I'm really sorry."

"The contract we signed does not include the rescue of the natives."

"Unless you add extra money, don't talk about it."

"You...... Well, make an offer! Arcadia said with a sigh of rage.

Hesse casually offered a sky-high price.

An unacceptable price.

Arcadia kind of understood, it wasn't a matter of money, and Hesse didn't want to make a fuss about it at all.

"If you don't go, I'll go by myself!"

With a sense of resentment, Arcadia turned to her atavistic form.

Transformed into a silver armor avenging angel, he spread his silver wings and flew towards the swamp.

At this moment, there was a familiar howl in the forest!

The young man with the head of a leopard rushed out of the dense forest like a black lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the back of the lizardmen's camp.

In the crowd, screams rang out!

The black shadow flashed continuously, like lightning and stone fire.

The lizardmen fell, blood spurting from their throats.

His eyes widened and he was confused.

From start to finish, it's only a blink of an eye.

Before he even saw the other party's movements, he had already been fatally hit.

The speed of the Black Panther is terrifyingly fast! Fantastic!

The lizardmen, who were in chaos, collapsed in fighting spirit, and soon dispersed.

"Tazan!"

Arcadia shouted and landed, daring to turn back into her human form, and flew over.

Together with a piece of silver armor, he threw himself into Alan's arms.

"Dear friend, we finally meet again!"

Two young people embraced each other intimately at the same time.

Captain Hesse stroked his beard and frowned slightly.

I feel a little jealous of the strength of the Black Panther Boy.

……

After five years, Morgan and his son were finally reunited.

Alan comforted the cheap dad who was crying with excitement and told the doctor about the experience of being in the wilderness for the past five years.

Finding his son was just one of Dr. Morgan's goals.

He also had an important mission on this trip.

Based on the excavated artifacts, the Doctor speculates that deep in the rainforest, there is an intelligent race that is older than the Wakandas.

Before the complete decline of this race, a glorious civilization was created.

The Doctor and his team decide to venture deep into the jungle in search of the ruins of an ancient civilization.

Alan joins the Doctor's team and leads the crowd to avoid the beasts and dangers of the forest.

During the journey, Arcadia and Eren spend time and night.

It's natural to have feelings for this wild boy.

One evening, two young people go on a date under a banana tree.

It is hard to help yourself for a while, and together they compose the great harmony of life.

This is the first time that Eren has made love with a girl with angelic blood.

Compared with ordinary golden cats, Miss Angel has smoother skin, more delicate pores, and an excellent touch to the touch, like porcelain......

Alan is also difficult to say, whether this is a genetic trait of angels.

……

Happy times are always so short-lived.

After more than two months of arduous trekking, Dr. Morgan finally got his wish and found ancient ruins in a valley deep in the dense forest.

A ruined temple, to be exact.

A building made of huge stones, and the interior displays a serpentine statue.

A little observation will show that the face of the idol looks very much like a human face.

And most of them are young women's faces, which are quite showy.

Statue of a snake with a human face......

The more Alan looked at it, the more familiar it felt.

I remember that in the mountains of my hometown of Quint, I once hunted a basilisk.

The basilisk is said to be a Naga with a severely degraded bloodline.

The contours of his face are vaguely remnants of the features of the human face.

His conjecture was quickly confirmed by Dr. Morgan.

The statue in the ruins is the legendary Naga!

What the Doctor is looking for is actually a civilization created by the ancient Naga clan.

Naga with a human face and a snake body, all of them are natural warlocks!

Their hearts are more vicious than their fangs!

Use magic to dominate races, including humans.

Serve as a slave and build this once-magnificent temple.

on the walls of the interior of the temple.

Fragments of mottled murals can be seen everywhere.

Alan couldn't understand what it meant.

But the doctor is like a treasure.

The rubbing mural of the waste sleep and forgetting to eat, try to interpret.

The expedition team stayed in the temple for more than ten days.

With the help of his assistants, Dr. Morgan's research has achieved breakthrough results.

According to his identification, the mural depicts the history of the ancient Naga from prosperity to decline.

This mysterious ancient civilization belongs to a branch of the Naga ethnic group called the "Spirit Naga".

The last master mother of the spirit Naga clan, in order to seek immortality, studied necromantic magic, slaughtered the surrounding indigenous people, and held blood sacrifices.

went crazy and died, and as a result, he tossed himself to death......

Not only that, but the relatives and friends of the main mother were also dragged together to be buried together.

This crazy monster, until the very end of his life, refused to admit that he had gone astray, declaring that death was nothing but the beginning of a more real life.

She felt that she was not going to die, but to embrace eternal life.

She felt that her family and children would not die, but that they had been blessed by her and accompanied her to eternal life.

It doesn't matter what the Naga Mistress thinks.

The other Naga in the tribe were fed up with her madness.

Secretly conspire and set a trap.

Coax the mad mother and her cronies into the depths of the tomb to honor the ancestral spirits, and then launch a rebellion.

After a bloody battle, the main mother and her cronies were all killed!

The coup was successful, but the Nagas were not at ease.

Before her death, the mistress declared that she would come back for revenge.

insisted on shouting, what kind of "immortal body" he was.

It sounds like crazy talk.

But...... What if it's true?

What if she could really come back to life?

Strange events that followed made the coup d'état even more fearful.

They built the temple to suppress the undead of the Mistress and try to escape the curse of the revenants.

What happened later is not recorded on the mural, and Dr. Morgan is unknown.

But judging from the signs of ruin at the scene, the Spirit Naga clan, after that coup, obviously went downhill.

Whether or not it is due to the curse of the Mistress, this tribe no longer exists, completely annihilated in the dust of history.

Only the ruins of the wall were left for later generations to verify.

Based on the clues provided by the mural, Dr. Morgan has roughly deciphered where the ancestral tomb of the Naga clan is located.

Reason told him to stop in moderation.

The Ancestral Tomb, the place where the Mad Mother was murdered, is definitely a very dangerous place!

The mural has repeatedly warned that trespassing into the tomb of the ancestral spirit without permission will definitely not end well!

Of course, Dr. Morgan also admits that there should be valuable artifacts in the depths of the mausoleum.

The Naga family admires luxury, and the treasures that accompany the funeral are also indispensable.

Captain Hesse was intrigued by the ancient mausoleum and advised the Doctor to continue exploring.

Maybe everyone can take this opportunity to make a windfall.

However, the Doctor refused the temptation.

I firmly believe that it is wise to accept it when it is good.

After a heated argument, the Doctor and the captain parted.

Captain Hesse, I thought about leaving the doctor behind and hunting for treasure alone.

However, without the Doctor leading the way, who can find the ancient tombs of the Naga in this primeval forest?

No second person can do it.

Then, the rest is logical.

That night, Captain Hesse and his mercenaries launched a rebellion.

First poisoned the soup, stunned the people of the scientific expedition team, and then massacred.

Captain Hesse doesn't need more than Dr. Morgan.

Alan is the only one on the team who is toxin resistant.

Only him and Arcadia, escaping the slaughter, survived.

Alan could have uncovered Hesse's conspiracy in advance.

But he didn't.

Atavistic meditation is ultimately about improving one's practice.

From this point of view, the interests of practitioners and ancestral spirits are not always the same.

Zu Ling, of course, hopes that the tragedy will not happen.

The Ancestral Spirit didn't want to go through the tribulations that almost killed him and ultimately made him stronger.

However, without the suffering that followed, how could the ancestral spirit have a strong dying obsession?

With no dying regrets to resolve, what is the perfect meditation?

Is it too deep to substitute for the ancestral spirit, putting the interests of the ancestral spirit above one's own interests, simply to satisfy one's own heart of the Virgin?

Losing oneself and getting too deep into the drama is a sign of enchantment.

Eren didn't want to fall into the spell.

When necessary, it has to be "hard-hearted".

This is the principle that a warlock must adhere to in his practice.

Three chapters are guaranteed, plus one chapter plus more, a total of more than 10,000 words, combined into two large chapters.

In the future, in order to make up for more, I will forcibly open the big chapter of four or five thousand words, so as not to split the plot.

But the updated word count will definitely not cut corners, and it will not deliberately make up the number of words.
