Chapter 20 Protecting the Lizardmen 3
Li Zhen didn't have time to be too surprised. The most urgent thing was to lead the lizard tribe away from here immediately.

The lizard tribe listened to Li Zhen's words and followed him to migrate immediately.

"Pity."

Li Zhen turned around and looked at the Lizard Tribe's defense project that had just been built, feeling extremely regretful.

For this defense project, he and the lizard tribe spent a lot of manpower and material resources, which are now equivalent to being thrown away.

"It seems that the system has long anticipated this day."

"So my real mission is to lead the lizardmen to migrate and protect them during the disaster." Li Zhen couldn't help but understand the system's arrangement.

At this time, Li Zhen was flying in the air, and the lizardmen were either walking or riding on the back of the triceratops, following Li Zhen one by one.

The one following in the front was naturally the female leader of the lizard tribe, Medusa.

This journey lasted for three full months.

This happened beyond Li Zhen's expectation.

After the destruction of Camilo, the planet suffered a huge disaster, with erupting volcanoes everywhere, like the end of the world.

The volcanic ash accumulated in a thick layer in the clouds, blocking most areas from sunlight.

Countless dinosaurs became extinct, and dinosaur skeletons were everywhere, creating a tragic scene.

This is a man-made disaster.

A level seven destroyer already possesses the ability to destroy the world.

"The ground is no longer habitable for the time being. Let's escape underground." Li Zhen led the lizard tribe to look for underground caves.

In the third month, Li Zhen discovered a group of digging dragons.

The Diegelon is about two meters long and is a group of dinosaurs that are good at digging holes.

Li Zhen led the lizard tribe into the cave of the digging dragons and found a different world inside, which was actually connected to the underground cave.

"God helps those who work hard." Li Zhen was overjoyed.

The Diggers did not attack outsiders like Li Zhen, but fled instead. They are herbivorous dinosaurs and are not aggressive.

Li Zhen did not make things difficult for them for the sake of the cave.

The hole dug by the Digger was still a little small. Others could enter, but it was still too small for the Triceratops.

"Leave it to me. We will tame the diggers and let them dig holes for us." Medusa took the initiative to step forward and share Li Zhen's worries.

"it is good."

So Li Zhen and the lizard people captured some diggers and tamed them.

Herbivorous dinosaurs were not as ferocious as the carnivorous Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The domestication was successful.

A total of ten Diggers were tamed. Under Medusa's command, the ten Diggers quickly widened the entrance in front of the door so that the Triceratops could enter.

Then, under Li Zhen's arrangement, the cave below was widened again, and a separate cave was dug for each lizardman.

There is a hall in the middle, and next to the hall there are small caves, like small rooms.

In addition to these, there are also toilets.

Triceratops and Diggersaurus each occupied a huge cave, which was considered their nest.

In the following days, Li Zhen went out hunting, killing other dinosaurs, and then transported the corpses back to the lizard tribe as food.

Triceratops and Diggers need to go out to find food by themselves.

Unfortunately, as the dire situation outside progressed, things started to get worse.

Another month passed, and the Triceratops never came back after they went out. Li Zhen went out and saw that they were dead. They were killed by other carnivorous dinosaurs that escaped to the vicinity.

Li Zhen killed those carnivorous dinosaurs, which was considered revenge for the Triceratops.

As time went on, the situation got worse.

The trees and grass dried up and died.

Moreover, the carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide levels in the air exceeded the standard, and many dinosaurs died of poisoning.

Li Zhenfei went out and saw a doomsday scene outside.

Even during the day, the sky is gray and there are volcanoes everywhere that are still erupting or have stopped erupting.

There is only a little green on the ground, and most of the mountains and greenery are covered by black volcanic lava.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, Li Zhen could only see a few dinosaurs that were barely alive and lucky enough to survive.

Most of the surviving dinosaurs were smaller in size, because larger dinosaurs required more oxygen, and now that the oxygen content in the air is decreasing, they die the fastest.

Li Zhen flew over the sea and found that even the ocean was in a mess.

Apparently, that Camilo didn't spare the dinosaurs in the ocean.

There is lava ash floating everywhere in the sea water.

Wherever he looked, there were several active volcanoes that suddenly appeared.

There were many dinosaur corpses in the sea, probably because they died of lack of oxygen. After a quick look, he found the corpses of dinosaurs that lived in the sea, such as Pliosaurs, Basilosaurs and Plesiosaurs.

"Has Camilo completed his mission and left?"

Li Zhen hasn't seen the other person in the past few months.

"The mission is really simple." He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Unlike him, he stayed for several months.

On the way back, he killed a little dinosaur and brought it back for the lizard people as dinner.

Time passed slowly, and one year passed quickly.

This year, Li Zhen witnessed the birth of many new lives. The other lizardmen had reproduced more or less once, but Medusa was the only one who had never given birth.

Medusa hinted to Li Zhen many times, but Li Zhen remained indifferent. This made Medusa feel like a wronged daughter-in-law, and she would curl up and sleep with her back to Li Zhen at night.

Sometimes when Medusa gets angry, she will make a lot of noise and disturb Li Zhen from sleeping.

I'm so annoying.

"The dark sky hangs down
Bright stars follow

worms fly worms fly
Who are you missing?

Annoyed by the noise, Li Zhen sang "The Insect Is Flying" to coax Medusa to sleep.

When Medusa heard music for the first time, it was like she had discovered a new world. From then on, she would pester Li Zhen to sing to her every night.

……

The total number of Lizardmen now exceeds one hundred.

This can be considered as Li Zhen's achievement.

In his spare time, Li Zhen had taught Medusa addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. He even found a lot of sulfur due to the volcanic eruption, which allowed him to invent gunpowder.

Sulfur was easy to find during a volcanic eruption, but he couldn't find saltpeter at first. Fortunately, there was a special toilet, and so much lizardman feces and dinosaur feces were piled together, so Li Zhen finally found some saltpeter.

The main materials of bombs are sulfur, saltpeter and carbon.

It was not easy to make the first bomb. It took dozens of experiments before it was successful.

"Boom."

With a loud bang, Li Zhen’s first bomb finally exploded successfully.

"Great!" Medusa, who witnessed the whole process of Li Zhen making the bomb successfully, was even happier than him.

"Remember, this is your secret weapon to protect yourself. As long as you have the bomb, you will no longer be afraid of dinosaurs." Li Zhen touched Medusa's head and taught.

"As long as Zhen is here, I'm not afraid." Medusa smiled innocently.

"One day I'll leave."

"do not go."

Li Zhen didn't know when he would leave, so he knew that he would try his best to teach.

After successfully developing gunpowder, he immediately set about smelting the ore.

There was already a lot of minerals during this period, and due to volcanic eruptions, the minerals became even more abundant.

Fortunately, Li Zhen usually watched short videos and knew the general sequence of smelting ore: 1. Building a furnace, 2. Mineral selection, 3. Smelting, 4. Forging.

What is more difficult is building a furnace and making charcoal, which are the two primary conditions for the flame to form a high temperature.

Otherwise, ordinary fire cannot melt various metal ores.

In addition to ore, there is another very important auxiliary material, that is, limestone, that is, calcium carbonate. Its main function is to reduce the impurity content in pig iron.

He couldn't find limestone, so he used dinosaur bones instead.

At this time, inside the cave outside.

A furnace made of clay smelting ore.

"Add more ingredients."

"The blower must keep blowing and cannot be stopped." Li Zhen gave orders from the side.

The iron smelting process can last for several hours or a whole day, and the blower cannot be stopped for a moment. The Lizardmen have to take turns to do it. The Lizardmen on the other side are also responsible for continuously adding carbon to keep the flame high.

Fortunately, everything went on in an orderly manner under Li Zhen's command.

When the sun set, Li Zhen broke open the furnace and saw the red-hot metal slowly flowing out like a red liquid, flowing into the mold made by Li Zhen.

This is a mold for an axe.

Then it is quenched and polished, and the axe is finished.

Although it cannot be compared with modern technology.

But now the environment is simple and resources are limited, so this is the only way.

【mission completed】

Before Li Zhen and Medusa could share their joy, a message came from the system.

Has this day finally come?

I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt reluctant.

Li Zhen couldn't help but turn his head to look at Medusa. He waved and smiled at Medusa, then disappeared out of thin air in front of Medusa and the other lizardmen.

"Zheng!"

"Li Zhen!" Medusa called out anxiously when she saw Li Zhen disappear.

She was in a panic and began to look for Li Zhen everywhere.

However, Li Zhen who returned was no longer in this time and space. How could she possibly find him?

From that day on, Medusa never ate again. She was like an abandoned puppy, depressed and silent all day long.

She would touch the axe made by Li Zhen, thinking of him. Sometimes she would even shed tears silently in her nest while smelling the scent left by Li Zhen.

"The dark sky hangs down
Bright stars follow

worms fly worms fly
Who are you missing?" In the darkness, Medusa closed her eyes and hummed softly.

One month after Li Zhen left, Medusa died
