Chapter 245: The Zedi Lizardfolk Tribe

The Eastern Continent is ruled by goblins, comical dwarfs with green frog-like skin that resemble the head hunters, but in fact they are close relatives of the primitive orcs, the failure of the original orc gods.

Goblins are generally low in strength, but they have a reproductive ability far beyond that of orcs, and the entire Eastern Continent is almost crowded with dense goblin tribes, with at least more than 20 million in number.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and a sufficient number of goblin tribes are the most qualified forces in the Eastern Continent to compete for the position of ruler, but in some remote corners, it is not without indigenous forces that continue to compete with goblins.

For example, the legendary terrifying tribe that hides in the depths of the jungle and can freely manipulate dinosaurs;

It may also be the only silver dire wolf in the wolf pack;

or hill trolls, hill giants, two-headed giant raiders;

It's also possible that it's a lizardman.

The lizardmen tribe is one of the main opponents of the goblins to dominate the Eastern Continent, and the main body is divided into three main branches and more than ten branches.

The three main lineages are the Grey Lizardman of the Rock Hill, the Green Lizard of the Rainforest, and the Black Lizard of the Zedi.

Among them, the black lizardmen in the sze mainly live in humid areas near rivers and swamps, regulate their body temperature through lung breathing, and are more able to adapt to the humid environment.

An adult male black lizardman can grow to about 5 feet to 7 feet, and the reptilian scale armor covering the whole body is a natural armor level of +2 without heavy burdens, lizardmen are natural hunters, good at using blow arrows, bows, and javelins, and strong warriors will use stone axes and thorn-wound sticks as weapons.

Due to the nature of cold-blooded creatures, lizardfolk tend to be indifferent to the outside world, have low intelligence, obey wild instincts, and will deal bloody blows to species that harm the race.

There were only three orc sentries who returned, and all of them were wounded, and the most seriously injured one lost an arm, and the wound looked as if it had been torn off by some beast.

The Sentinel's reward is a creature with many legs, a snake-like body, and a monitor lizard-like and crocodile-like head.

Riding on this huge creature was an upright lizard-like creature that wore arms and armed with rudimentary bows and arrows, and attacked all the orcs as soon as it appeared.

This group of orcs is a clan warrior who has grown up after a great migration, but only three of them came back under the rash attack of the lizardmen, and when they talked about the monster, the three of them had obvious fearful looks on their faces.

Legend has it that the lizardmen are the second-generation descendants of the founder of the ancient world and the 'demon god' Kanergan.

Kanrkan self-destructed and torn apart from the ancient ages, and a generation of gods was born from the flesh and blood of the demon god.

A generation of gods walked on the land of the ancient world in strange images such as snakes, crocodiles, lizards, and dinosaurs, condensing totemic power and granting the reptiles of the jungle wisdom, so that they could grow hands and feet, walk upright, form families, form tribes, establish totem poles, and worship gods......

The lizardmen are the second generation of Kanergan's descendants, lit lizard creatures.

The demon god is also known as the 'father of snakes and dragons', and is the founder of all snakes, crocodiles, lizards and other amphibians and reptiles in the jungle.

The Zedi Black Lizardmen have the skill of [Animal Communication], so it is easier to domesticate reptiles that are close to their own blood, such as the swamp monitor lizard, and the black lizardmen have the ability to arm the lizard knights.

However, the creature that attacked the sentinels was not a monitor lizard, as the maximum size of this reptile was 12 feet, and according to the sentry's description, it was at least a behemoth of more than 20 feet! Then there is only one possibility-

Blue-scaled Saurus (Race: Large Beast)

Creature level 25~35

Maximum body size: 25 feet; Maximum weight: 4000 lbs

This is a lizard-like reptile that resembles a giant python and has multiple pairs of scaly legs, a species that has nothing to do with dragons, and can theoretically be classified as a pseudo-dragon species, and is the highest level of beast that lizardmen can domesticate.

There are many species of dragon snakes, but the only people who live in the swamps and live with black lizards are the blue-scaled multi-legged dragon snakes with dark scales.

Fierce and aggressive, they devour their prey and are never picky eaters, from toads to bipedal dinosaurs, and give captives to dragonsnakes for food when necessary.

The source of captives was usually errant members of the tribe or prisoners of war who had plundered from outside the tribe.

According to the orc sentinels, nearly half of their compatriots were captured by the lizardmen, and their fate can be imagined.

The blood axe who learned the news looked very bad, and the irrepressible anger gushed out like a pulp.

"Damn reptiles, we've skinned them alive!"

Keeping the necessary composure, Nightshade began to calculate the odds of victory against the lizardfolk tribe.

This is a war that must be fought, and as an outsider, in order to gain a foothold in a strange land, the most extreme thing to do is to kill all the natives of origin, or enslave them.

The strength of the clan is limited, so it can only choose to encroach slowly. Lizardfolk are staunch totemic deity worshippers, with the bonus of primitive beliefs, and have little regard for the possibility of them surrendering as slaves.

After nearly half a month of training, eight hundred elite combat troops have been cultivated within the clan, and the half-orc warriors united under the oath of the blood axe have reached unprecedented unity, and the seeds of the legion are germinating.

The increase in cohesion of a high degree of concentration was exchanged for the birth of order.

Before the team could leave, Nightnight sent out sentinels again to find out the location of the lizardmen tribe that attacked the clan.

For a few hours, the Sentinel brought the latest information.

Not far from the open-pit mine, by the river, is a nursery for lizardmen, with nearly two hundred black lizardmen left behind.

In the vicinity of the nursery is the base of the lizardmen tribe, a stronghold dominated by the leader, and the most important of all is the totem sanctuary, which is guarded by shamans and witch doctors within the lizardmen.

This group of lizardmen maintains a population of 2500~3000, of which the number of units that can be used for combat is close to 1000.

……

In the calm riverbed, there are one snow-white giant egg after another, and through the crystal soft eggshell, the formation of life inside can be faintly seen.

The cosy and warm nursery is the best place in the tribe, and it is the only place suitable for the incubation and growth of the next generation of young breeds.

As a cold-blooded creature, the lizardman can not get rid of the physiological structure of oviparity, but unlike ordinary reptiles, the lizardman reproductive cycle is not long, a female lizard can only lay eggs at most twice in a year, each time will discharge 3~8 eggs, but only 2~3 can hatch and grow smoothly.

Lizardfolk have a lifespan of nearly 50 years, and it takes about 7 years for a young to grow to adulthood, and the cultivation cycle is very long, so lizardfolk try their best to avoid conflicts with the outside world, because no one can afford to wear them out.

At the same time, the nursery also highlights its position within the tribe.

However, to the surprise of these intelligent reptiles, the dreaded outsiders were annoyed by what they saw as a natural expulsion war, and this group of outsiders was so tightly organized that after they had just attacked each other, the invaders' army was already in the city, and the target was the lizardmen's nursery.
