Chapter 545 (1/2)

“Let’s find a place whose environment is relatively good to rest.” Ye Cang waded through the knee-length mud.

As they continued to walk, they noticed that the entire swamp was like a giant booby trap. Their movement speed was greatly affected as there was a lot of quick mud. Luckily, many of them were good at movement skills so they were safe most of the time. The eagle’s cry came from the west of the low-lying swamp. Ye Cang quickly connected its vision with Eagle Eye and what came into view were four worm man fighting living creatures that looked like lizards. They were standing like a human, tall and muscular and wielded various weapons with their hands. Among them, there was one young lizard man who seemed weak and small in size. He does not look like a combat type.

Ye Cang pondered. I think these are the lizard man which the people talked about. Looking at the tens of lizard man warriors, he saw how their gunners easily killed the incoming ambushers. Their arms seemed to be moving very fast in the swamp.

Then, Ye Cang briefly told his team what he saw. Everyone decided to go over and try to be friendly with them since this place belongs to the lizard man. It would be better to have their assistance when exploring this disgusting place.

“Father, do you speak draconic?” Little Ye Tian asked as she ran.

“I don’t know how to speak it but let’s see whether their talking can enlighten my language talent.” Ye Cang also did not know why he knew so many languages.

Despite battling hard, the lizard men protected their family members well. A lizard man who was carrying an axe seemed to be the leader. He hissed and his cold-blooded animal eyes contracted. “Chala! Bring everyone back to the village! I’ll hold them off here!”

“Chief! It’s all my fault! I’m the one who attracted them here! I should be the one who holds them off!” A lizard man who was holding two jagged looking blades said.

“Run now! There won’t be another chance if you don’t go now! Another worm man is coming! Fast!” The chief lizard man knocked him back with his rough tail. “Now!”

In an instant, a large number of ambushers appeared and blocked them from retreating. The lizard man with the axe sighed. “Looks like they aren’t going to let us go so easily. Two men stay back and protect them. And the others, show me your willing-to-die fighting spirit! Let’s open up a way back home for the children and women! Chala! I’m counting on you! Since you have the spirit, show me that you’re willing to use your life to open them the path! Protecting the loved ones for you all is the last thing I as a chief can do!”

Chala saw the chief dashing towards their kin, the ambushers and two worm men with his axe. He then clenched his teeth and charged with the team, fighting for their loved ones.

The lizard man who was known as the chief saw Little Blue Feather circling in the sky. He knew it was not a species belonging here.
