lizard lord

Chapter 32
Although the caves dug by the kobolds are a bit cramped and narrow, compared to the ones dug by animals like hares, they do deserve the praise of "clean and tidy".

The cave was dug evenly, and some kind of mud was smeared on the cave wall, which should be able to play a certain degree of waterproofing.

[Under the limited conditions, it is not bad. If you give them qualified tools and materials, they should be able to do even better.]

Of course, under the current situation, it would be good if they dug the cave to be dirty and broken, and Tang Zhao could alleviate the subtle sense of guilt in his heart.

After all, logically speaking, he is demolishing the house now.

As for the kobolds who are the owners of the cave, they are probably hiding in the depths of the cave and trembling. Tang Zhao is like a monster chasing them, digging down bit by bit, pulling them into the abyss of death.

The kobolds were helpless against this terrifying monster, and the traps they had hoped for were as ridiculous as toys.

The wooden spikes sharpened like daggers sting him a little at best, the poisonous down of the caterpillars can't penetrate his scales, and the stones thrown by the crude traps are useless
[Be normal, I'm not making a horror movie, this is a legal and reasonable debt collection behavior. 】

Tang Zhao couldn't help shaking his head, letting himself stop thinking about it.

Each claw can bring out a large amount of soil. After more than ten minutes passed, Tang Zhao got closer and closer to the bottom of the cave. He stuck his forked tongue out of his mouth. He was able to catch a more intense smell, and he was now very close to the opponent.

After digging hard for a while, Tang Zhao finally heard the sound of kobolds moving.

"He's coming in! Get your sling ready!"

"Collect the eggs! Protect the eggs!"

"Fight it! Fight it!! Kurtumak bless us!"

The pronunciation of the common language mixed with neighing sound was a bit vague, but with the aid of the ability of the emblem, Tang Zhao could still understand the meaning accurately.

[It's okay, just a little flustered, the situation is far from out of control, the organization and cooperation skills are very good, although a little timid, but also have the courage to take up arms at critical moments. 】

In a high-stress environment, the behavior of intelligent creatures is more emotional, and the usual camouflage will fade to the greatest extent. This is an excellent opportunity to observe.

What is the character and ability of the kobold tribe, and who is more suitable to be a manager? These things can be seen at a glance. This is the main reason why he did not act first and then fight.

After digging deep, a crude wooden door appeared in front of Tang Zhao, which was reinforced with iron chains and ropes. He tried to push the door open with the tip of his nose, but failed. The kobolds should use something to block the door.

But after all, it was just a wooden door, which was fixed in the soil layer without any special reinforcement. It would not take much effort for Tang Zhao to open it.

There was silence behind the gate, only the harsh sound of sharp claws scraping against the wooden door could be heard, and soon after, the scratching sound turned into a dull crashing sound.

The thick head was like a battering ram, hitting the low wooden door one after another. Half a minute later, with a loud noise, the wooden door was directly knocked open by Tang Zhao.

Before Tang Zhao had a closer look at the situation inside, he heard bursts of heart-piercing roars.

Afterwards, a group of upright scaly creatures holding wooden spears rushed out from the broken wooden door, and stabbed directly at Tang Zhao's eyes and other vital points with the spears in their hands.

In addition, a large number of stones were thrown from the door, and they all came towards the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Zhao was not angry about this either. He stretched out his front paws and pushed the rushing kobolds back into the door with the huge advantage of his wingspan. itch.

It's worth mentioning that there were a few apple-sized fireballs mixed in with the shot, but due to Tang Zhao's anti-magic scale armor, the fireballs didn't make any waves.

So far, the kobold's desperate fight has been a complete failure.

After quickly grasping the situation, Tang Zhao slapped his tail on the ground twice, and then Cynthia followed the passage dug by Tang Zhao to the group of kobolds.

"Put down your weapons and swear on the reputation of the goblins that you will not suffer any excessive harm."

Tang Zhao was taken aback. The kobolds who seemed to have a strong will to resist and wanted to fight him to the death did not even hesitate when they heard someone coming to persuade them to surrender. They dropped their weapons in unison.

But it's understandable when you think about it—the situation just now, in their view, is already a critical moment of life and death.

Some races will choose to give up on themselves, but most races will fight in the end.

Now that they knew that they didn't have to die, the kobold's cowardly and cowardly nature prevailed again, and they simply chose to surrender collectively.

The turning point was a bit big, and Tang Zhao took a few seconds to adjust his mood before he began to speak.

[The main reason for coming uninvited is that I hope you can return the things you stole. 】

Cynthia performed her duties as a translator very well. Not only did she recite the words in a loud and clear voice, she even imitated Tang Zhao's tone to the point of similarity.

At this time, a kobold with light red scales and a slightly taller figure than the surrounding kobolds stood up.

"I don't know what exactly the two adults want. The situation on our side is more complicated."

The voice is old, and the movements are also old-fashioned. Tang Zhao guessed that the other party has inherited the advantages of reptiles in terms of growth-lifelong growth, so the older the kobold, the bigger the body.

Of course, except for those with extraordinary talents, some reptiles are born stronger than their brothers and sisters, grow faster, and have a growth limit far exceeding that of the same race.

[It seems that this is a talker, indicating that these kobolds should have the habit of respecting the elderly like many tribes. After all, in the era when there are no information transmission carriers such as books, the main way of passing on knowledge is from generation to generation. 】

While Tang Zhao was thinking, Cynthia was still negotiating with the kobolds.

"There is a carriage outside the forest. You stole a lot of supplies in the carriage. In addition, there is a warning trap near the pond outside the forest. You also dismantled it. I hope you can give the goblin a reasonable explanation of."

Tang Zhao also cooperatively brought his head closer to the old kobold man, sprayed warm air from his nasal cavity, and blew it onto the kobold, making him shiver involuntarily.

"This, this, we remembered! I will return it to you now, very sorry, very sorry!"

Without the old man saying hello, many kobolds consciously started rummaging.

Taking advantage of this time, the old kobold explained the situation to Cynthia rather awkwardly.
