lizard lord

Chapter 36 Wrestling (Combined)

[You have been here before, are there any creatures nearby, do you know? 】

From the perspective of wild animals, Tang Chao is undoubtedly very powerful, but there are not only wild animals in Insula.

At least now, he can't deal with a hill giant or a large group of hungry ogres. He can only run if he encounters a more powerful sub-dragon or a green-footed dragon snake. Life or death can only depend on the other party's appetite today.

Arrogance is not a good problem, Tang Zhao has no such problem.

"There are many things that happened more than ten years ago. There may be errors now. There are a group of petrified chicken snakes, gnolls, and a few griffins nearby. If you go closer to the foot of the mountain, there may be owl bears and shark lizards. Ogre and goblin settlements are possible, and even hydras are not out of the question."

Toto is familiar with things about "danger", which is the trick of their group's survival to this day.

Comparing his strength roughly, Tang Zhao thought that he could at most be domineering around here, but in the deeper places, he was a little powerless.

[You said that there is a settlement of fine creatures nearby, do you remember the location? 】

"Just remember the general location, there may be a big error"

Toby looked at Tang Zhao and Cynthia uneasily, for fear that they would get angry.

【No problem, just take me there. 】

He remembered the smell of leprechauns and pickle spirits, and he could smell them just by getting close.

Except for very few special cases, although fey creatures are wary of the outside world, they are generally friendly, especially Tangzhao is accompanied by goblins, so the worst result of meeting them is that they cannot get help. There will be no danger.

Walking among the deep forests, Tang Zhao encountered the first creature with clear hostility towards him near the foot of the mountain.

It was an owl bear. As the name suggests, it was a creature covered with feathers, with a huge owl head and a bear-like body structure.

It is huge in size and looks no smaller than the largest brown bear on earth. Even if there is some visual deception due to its fluffy feathers, it is definitely not that small.

Tang Zhao's first reaction when he saw this kind of creature blocking the way was to straighten his body, intimidate the opponent, and try to make the owl bear retreat. Come.

With a sweep of his tail behind him, he pushed a few useless kobolds to his sides, Tang Zhao had no choice but to use all his limbs to rush towards the owl bear.

The two hundreds of kilograms of giant beasts collided with each other, making a dull sound. Unlike the previous battles, this time the two were engaged in pure wrestling. Half of their bodies were raised up, the upper body and front limbs pushed each other, and the lower half of the rear limbs were firmly locked. If they are firmly embedded in the ground, those with little strength will be directly overthrown to the ground.

Tang Zhao's strength is slightly inferior to that of the stocky Xiaoxiong, but he is not stupid enough to be overthrown obediently.

Stretching his neck forward and opening his mouth full of fangs, he wanted to bite the opponent's fragile neck.

Under normal circumstances, this owl bear should use its forelimbs to try to push Tang Zhao away, but it didn't.

Regardless of Tang Zhao's bloody mouth, it also opened its sharp beak and pecked hard on Tang Zhao's neck. The thick bone plate simply blocked most of the damage for him, and the tip of the beak did not hurt the root. .

Stimulated by the pain, Tang Zhao was also a little irritated. He used his upper body to shift the opponent to the left with all his strength, and at the same time bit the opponent's neck, tearing it to the right as much as possible. It is difficult for a rough-skinned and thick-skinned target to bite the neck quickly and kill him. So he wanted to directly twist the opponent's neck.

The opponent has a bird's beak, no fangs, and it is very disadvantageous for gnawing and biting. I don't know why it trades injuries with Tang Zhao, but if this continues, the owl bear will definitely lose.

"Dewar! Stop it!!"

He seemed to hear someone yelling, but Tang Zhao was fighting with all his might and didn't have the energy to listen to others, so he ignored it and continued trying to kill the enemy in front of him.

A few seconds later, two beams of light shot at the two giant beasts that were fighting, and one of them entered the owl bear's body smoothly, while Tang Zhao's scales blocked the streamer's entry.

The reaction of the owl bear that streamed into the body has changed a lot. It began to try to get out of the control of Tang Zhao's teeth, but it has never been successful.

But within a few seconds, Tang Zhao heard a sound coming from behind him. Because the position and structure of his eyes are different from those of humans, his field of vision is much wider than that of humans, and he can barely see something approaching behind him, and his body size is not too large. Small.

【Another one?It's very troublesome, you can start thinking about retreating. 】

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay, he opened his mouth slightly to try to push the opponent away, but he didn't expect that Xiaoxiong was very cooperative this time, regardless of the pain, he pushed Tang Zhao away forcefully, and the two sides separated by three to five meters distance.

Taking this time, Tang Zhao glanced at the slowly approaching creature behind his eyes—a huge bear with a normal brown coat color, a more traditional wild animal.

[What is the relationship between the two parties, husband and wife or something else? 】

Wild animals are also very dangerous. This bear is no smaller than the owl bear. If they are together, Tang Zhao can only save his life.

"Calm down, calm down, I'm sorry my friend shot you first, but please believe me, this matter is a complete misunderstanding."

Unexpectedly, what came out of the grizzly's mouth was not a growl, but a language composed of multiple syllables, which was also a standard lingua franca.

Tang Zhao did not relax his vigilance, but took a few steps back, his eyes began to search for the location of Cynthia and the Kobold, ready to lead them away.

At this time, Cynthia flapped her wings and flew to his side, whispering a few words: "That bear has a goblin emblem on it, and I can also sense a weak goblin aura nearby. It should not be an enemy. Let's see what he has to say first. Bar."

Tang Zhao pondered for a few seconds before deciding to accept Cynthia's suggestion and lowering his head slightly as a sign of a truce.

Seeing this, Grizzly showed a humane smile on his face.
-
To be precise, calling that bear a bear is a bit of a misnomer, since it was a lycanthropy.

There are many branches of lycanthropes, bears are relatively rare and powerful, and they are also one of the few types that are more friendly to others.

Of course, good and evil are difficult to divide by race. It can only be said that most bears are more talkative. There are also bears who are as bloodthirsty as werewolves. At the same time, some people have seen talkative werewolves. It's just a matter of proportion.

The bear man's name was Leo, and he lived in Insula, and the owl bear, Dua, was his family member, whose name was the same as Oran's mother river.

At first Tang Zhao thought too much, thinking that Leo's partner would be a giant owl or something, but in fact this owl bear was just a cub Leo found in the forest.

"You mean, you have seen my kindred, and now live with them?"

Cynthia's expression was a bit subtle. Although the bears were kinder and their values ​​were similar to those of the elves, in fact, very few elves would really accept a bear.

Of course, few monitor lizards will be accepted. She can guess that every family has a hard-to-read scripture.

"That's right, I know the elf in this forest, and the relationship is quite good."

His current form is a tall and strong middle-aged man with a simple and honest face. I was afraid that Cynthia would not believe it, so he showed Cynthia the exquisite pendant hanging around his neck. It was a typical fairy handicraft with some fairy magic on it. Cynthia It is impossible to go wrong in this regard.

"The situation is more complicated. In short, I am with the goblins to fight against the threats in the forest. Then today I should be patrolling with Dewar, but I ran into your good friend halfway. The only shortcoming of Dewar is his bad temper and good manners Dou, after identifying him as an enemy, he immediately launched an attack, I was a little farther away, and I didn't react at the first time, I'm sorry."

The attitude of apologizing seemed very sincere. During the fight, Tang Zhao took advantage of it. Of course, Tang Zhao was still very upset about the fact that this uneducated beast pecked him.

Leo apologized on behalf of Xiong Duwa, while Cynthia accepted the apology instead of Tang Zhao, which was also somewhat dramatic.

"I'm very interested in what you said about the forest threat and the goblin. Can you find time to talk about it in detail?"

"No problem," he nodded. "It just so happens that the patrol is basically over. Dewar needs to go back to the dryad to heal his wounds. Let me take you there. Those goblins know the whole story better."

Naturally, Tang Zhao and Cynthia had no reason to refuse. When they left, they followed a group of kobolds.

Before Tang Zhao worried that they would stay on the battlefield to help, but now it seems that they are purely paranoid. As soon as the battle started, they disappeared without a trace. It was not until Cynthia finished talking and left that they left The front and rear feet came out of the bushes.

I knew the level of their combat ability and combat will.Tang Zhao couldn't get angry either.What he was looking for was not one-to-ten fighters, as long as they were diligent and not lazy when working, Tang Zhao would not have a bad impression of them.
-
After going deep into the dense forest again for a while, they came to the goblin camp at night.

There is a slightly open space, and there are many fairies in the trees on the edge of the clearing, and there are exquisite huts built by the fairies.

Introduced by the bears and the presence of Cynthia from the same clan, they managed to meet the titular top manager of the goblin settlement, a dryad named Lilith.

Legend has it that powerful fey creatures bind the souls of errant lesser goblins to the tree, transforming them into dryads.

It is not known how true or false the legend is, but the Dryad does look a lot like a human.

Her appearance dare not be said to be overpowering, and she can definitely be called a "beauty". The clothes on her body are similar to those of fairies, but the size is magnified countless times.

That's it, Tang Zhao has no interest in female humanoids at this time.

Lilith is one of the few dryads in Insula. She was also very excited when she saw a goblin coming from the outside world. She questioned Cynthia until she understood the whole story.

"I sympathize with your situation, and I hope to help you as much as possible. If you need anything, just come to us. But don't expect too much. During this period of time, we are somewhat difficult to protect ourselves."

Because Sula's area is not small, at least there were a few treants sitting here. With these powerful forest spirits guarding one side, the days of the goblins have always been carefree.

In recent months, however, the happy, carefree days have also come to an end.

A sub-dragon broke into here.In order to ensure the safety of the forest, most of the treants lost their lives, and the remaining one or two treants were also in a state of uncertainty, falling into a deep sleep.

Now the fey creatures in the forest can only rely on themselves.
