This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 145 Luminous Mushroom, Lizardman Kingdom
The lizardmen quickly discovered their group of uninvited guests, and each of them took up weapons on guard.

But it's easy to see the shock in their eyes.

What are these creatures with strange shapes and appearances that are completely different from them?
Why don't they have scales?Why no claws?Why is the skin so white?
Also, where did they come from?

1 questions flashed across my mind.

Just when the lizard people were in a period of time.

They heard the biped creature leading the way across the way.

"Hello, we are not enemies, but come with friendship."

OMG!

They can understand what this bipedal creature says!

Could it be a new group of lizards bred from other caves?
All of a sudden, the lizard people chattered with each other and pointed at them from time to time.

Looking at them like this, Ji Chen couldn't help frowning.

Is this group of lizard people suffering from some serious illness?
But fortunately, soon a lizard man in iron armor came out, walked up to them and said.

"Strange guest, Doc Kingdom sends you hello."

Although it is not yet clear what these creatures are and where they come from, judging from their speech and clothing, they should be an intelligent race that can communicate.

Unlike lava monsters, each of them only think about eating and pulling.

Moreover, they actively released goodwill, and it seems that they are not those lizard people races and kingdoms who like to kill.

The opponent's clothes are also very gorgeous, and the army's equipment is also very sophisticated, it is the most powerful army it has ever seen in its life.

Even if they are not nobles, they still belong to the existence of knights.

Ji Chen almost didn't laugh when he heard the Ironclad Lizard Man talking about the so-called Doc Kingdom.

In such a small place, although the number is unknown, but there must not be too many lizardmen, can they form a kingdom?
Although he wanted to laugh a little in his heart, his emotion management ability is still very strong, and it is easy to keep his face unchanged.

However, compared to other lizardmen, this talking lizardman held a fine steel halberd and wore an iron armor, even his head was covered by an iron helmet.

As for the other lizardmen, some held an iron spear and wore rough clothes with iron sheets hanging on them. The equipment was quite simple, and some even only wore a layer of torn fiber clothes.

Obviously, this lizard civilization hidden deep in the ground has evolved a class concept and system.

Judging from the degree of civilization in this world similar to the Middle Ages.

The lizard people wearing iron armor and helmets should be the so-called knight class, and those wearing iron clothes are knight servants, and those wearing only rags are poor peasants or slaves.

Putting away the thoughts in his heart, Ji Chen responded with a smile.

"My name is Ji Chen, the lord of the Ocean Crown, from the ground."

Crown of the Ocean?on the ground?
The iron-clad lizardman was a little confused.

What is the ocean?Could it be the name of a certain magma sea?
Could it be that the ground is a cave located higher up?

"Sorry, Your Excellency Ji Chen, I have a question, where is the ground?"

Hearing this, Ji Chen frowned, thinking of a possibility.

This group of lizardmen probably don't know the existence on the ground, right?Think this underground cave is the whole world?

Then there's something wrong with this.

"The ground is the ground, and above, there is a world billions of times wider than this."

"There are white clouds and sunshine, oceans and islands, land and mountains, and countless races and creatures."

"Due to a shock, a passage connecting the ground and here appeared, so we came here."

As these words were spoken one by one, all the lizardmen were stunned.

The first thought that comes to mind is:

how can that be! ?
Your Excellency Ji Chen, are you joking?
When the Indians in the Americas on the blue star saw the colonists from Europa for the first time, they learned that apart from the land under their feet, there was a wider world outside.

Their reaction is probably similar to that of this group of lizardmen.

Looking at the Naga berserkers, the dragon blood murlocs, the floating sea elves, Alice and the others, who were completely different from them.

The Ironclad Lizardman didn't think what Ji Chen said was true.

Immediately, I doubted life even more.

These few words, like a heavy hammer, smashed their worldview to pieces.

"Your Excellency, I can't judge the truth of what you said, but this matter is of great importance. I must report it to the elders of the tribe and let them judge."

"Please go ahead, but please also introduce your elders for me, I have some things to 'discuss' with them."

"Okay, I will convey your message, please wait here for a while." The armored lizard man nodded, indicating to the other lizard men to wait here, and hurried to the distant passage with a few lizard man followers.

But this trip is six hours.

It can be seen that the area of ​​activity of this lizardman civilization is quite broad, and the area they are in probably belongs to the "border area", and it will take a lot of time to rush from here to the core area.

Apart from being bored, Ji Chen didn't feel anything, anyway, there is no difference between day and night here underground.

Perhaps because of the light given by the luminous plants, it is daylight all day long.

There were only a few lizardmen when they went there, but when they came back, there was an escort of hundreds of lizardmen.

More than a dozen of them are so-called "knights", most of the rest are also "squires", and there is a lizard man "noble" who is wearing relatively gorgeous clothes and is quite fat.

Apparently, the lizard people paid enough attention to Ji Chen and sent a "nobleman" to greet him.

When this lizard man noble saw Ji Chen and the others, he had the same incredulous gaze as the other lizard men.

Shock tinged with suspicion, doubt tinged with awe.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, welcome to the kingdom of the Western Lizardmen, the Kingdom of Doc."

"On behalf of the elders, I am sending you a friendly signal."

Western Lizardmen?
The corner of Ji Chen’s mouth twitched, don’t tell him there are Eastern Lizardmen, Northern Lizardmen, and Southern Lizardmen, each of which is a kingdom.

If this is the case, then if he wants to get rid of the entire lizardman civilization, wouldn't he go to the four lizardman kingdoms?

This would be too much trouble.

"Well, I see. Shall we go meet your elders now? I can't wait to 'visit' them."

The lizard man noble didn't understand the meaning of Ji Chen's words, so he readily agreed.

"Of course, that's what the elders mean. They all want to meet you, a guest from, well, 'ground'."

After speaking, he made a gesture to invite in.

Ji Chen nodded. It would be the best to be able to directly see the core layer of the Doc Kingdom, saving time and effort.

Under the leadership of the lizardman nobles, a group of people walked towards the depths in a mighty manner.

As it continued to go deeper, more and more lizardmen appeared around.

On the ground, human beings live in villages, towns and cities.

But here, thanks to the topography of the caves, the lizardmen live in caves one by one. Larger caves are larger settlements, while smaller caves are smaller settlements.

There are varying numbers of passages, large and small, connected to each other.

Ji Chen felt quite novel about this way of life, which was completely different from the civilization on the ground.

I can't help but sigh in my heart that this world is really wonderful, and it can give birth to such a unique way of life.

Along the way, Ji Chen took what he saw and heard to heart, and got a lot of information about the lizardmen.

For example, a large part of the food they eat is a kind of mushroom that emits green fluorescence.

Roughly like human crops, these mushrooms are planted on the soil in large scales.

Ji Chen saw with his own eyes that the residents of the lizard people ground those luminous plants into powder and sprinkled them on the soil where the mushrooms were planted as if they were fertilizing.

This aroused his curiosity, and he stared at the information panels of those fluorescent mushrooms.

I don't know if I don't read it, but I'm scared when I see it.

This mushroom is not unusual either.

【Fluorescent Mushroom】

[Level]: 4-star specialty

[Use]: Can greatly supplement the energy needed by organisms

[Lizard people's daily staple food, although the taste is not very good]

4-star specialty, can you fill your stomach?

After seeing Ji Chen's wink, the lizardman nobles who followed him thought he was curious about these mushrooms, so they readily explained.

"Your Excellency, these mushrooms are the staple food of the lizard people. You only need to eat three of them a day to satisfy your physical exertion for a day."

"Mushroom salad is made with glow grass. It tastes so delicious that you will never forget it once you eat it!"

Hearing this, Ji Chen became even more curious, not for the second half of the sentence, but for the first half of the sentence. Eating three meals can satisfy a day's consumption.

"Come here, pick some fluorescent mushrooms for the distinguished guests to enjoy!"

Soon, a large bowl of fluorescent mushrooms was brought to him.

Ji Chen pinches one of them at any time. The mushroom is not too big, the handle is about two fingers thick, and the canopy is about as wide as a fist.

Looking at the little green light emitting from the canopy, he couldn't help being suspicious.

Can this stuff really be eaten?

The brighter the eyes, the faster the death.

This will still shine.

Are you sure you won't see your ancestors who have died for many years after eating it?

Seeing the sincere expression on the lizard nobleman's face, Ji Chen probably wouldn't harm him in such a way.

So he made up his mind, ate it in one bite, and chewed it carefully in his mouth.

There was a lump between the eyebrows, and I almost wanted to spit it out.

This thing is so delicious!

The taste is as woody as a piece of barbecue that has been roasted for a day and a night, and the taste is like a stinky durian that has been left for three days and three nights.

However, after eating just one, Ji Chen instantly felt a sense of fullness, almost like eating a large piece of meat.

Don't say three, two will make him feel full!

This thing is incredible!
"How is it? Fluorescent mushrooms are really delicious, aren't they?"

"Uh, it's really delicious."

Ji Chen swallowed the mushroom in his mouth, and handed back a large bowl of fluorescent mushrooms in his hand without changing his expression, "But I think we have to hurry up, otherwise it will take too long, and your elders should be anxious."

Upon hearing this, the noble lizardman nodded suddenly, "That's right, it's still important."

The group continued on their way.

On the way, the noble lizard people enthusiastically introduced him to the customs and enthusiasm of the lizard people and the landscape along the way.

But Ji Chen was absent-minded, thinking about those fluorescent mushrooms just now.

Those fluorescent mushrooms are very interesting.

Although the taste is pulpy, the ability to provide a lot of energy makes it extremely valuable.

If it can be obtained stably in large quantities, even if the crown of the ocean is not edible, it can be bought as a commodity to the outside world.

Now I don't know how many players are still worried about food and clothing in the territory.

And these fluorescent mushrooms can greatly solve their problems.

Even for orcs and half-orcs with a huge appetite, five or six can cover the amount of food for a day without considering the taste and taste.

But the lizard man noble said that the output of fluorescent mushrooms is very high.

As long as there is enough soil and luminescent plant powder, the yield of [-] per mu is not a problem, and according to Ji Chen's estimation, the maturity time is far shorter than that of ordinary crops, which is close to that of sea rice.

Just as Ji Chen was thinking about the business opportunities contained in it, the voice of the lizardman nobleman sounded.

"Your Excellency, we have arrived, the capital of the Doc Kingdom, Doc City!"

Ji Chen looked up, and outside the passage, an extremely vast underground space appeared in front of him.

The thousand-meter-high rock dome cannot see the end of the space, and can only vaguely see the outline of the city wall.

Outside the city wall, glowing mushrooms are planted everywhere, and many lizardmen are working in the fields.

"Your Excellency, you can't see the whole picture of Doc City from here, but I guarantee that when we get closer, you will marvel at its majesty and beauty."

"Even if it is the so-called ground, I believe that there is no city that can be more majestic than Doc City."

The lizard man nobleman said proudly that even among the capitals of the four major lizard man kingdoms, Doc City deserved to be number one.

Ji Chen looked at the confident lizardman nobleman and shook his head secretly.

Although I haven't seen the whole picture yet, judging from the outline of the city wall, it is estimated that it is not too big.

"Let's move on, the elders should be waiting."

Just as Ji Chen and the others rushed to Dock City.

In the council hall in the city, which was just a five-story stone church, fierce quarrels broke out among the lizard elders.

"From the ground? How is that possible? The inherited slate tells us that this is a world full of rocks and mud mixed with magma. There is no such thing as an above-ground world!"

"But according to the knight's report, there is indeed a group of creatures with completely different appearances from us appearing on the border, and they can say many words that have never been heard before, such as sky, sunshine, and ocean."

"Fart! They are just a group of mutated lizardmen, how can you believe what they say? Maybe they are spies sent by the enemy country! They want to do something to endanger the kingdom of Doc!"

"I think so too. After all, we have been exploring the border for thousands of years, but we have never found places other than rocks and soil. Now this group of bipedal creatures that claim to come from the ground suddenly appeared, which is really unacceptable."

"No matter what, when they come to Dock City, everything will be clear."

At this time, the sound of the guard's report came from outside.

"Report! Unknown guests have come outside the city!"

Many lizard elders in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, "Well, our doubts will be clarified soon."

"Bring them here!"

"Yes!"
