Chapter 83 Into the Tiger's Den
After giving his instructions, Lin Er rested for a moment, then got up and walked towards the Misty Forest, quickly entering the outer area.
He immediately took out a Transformation Talisman and applied a wisp of spiritual energy. The runes on the talisman lit up, revealing the cinnabar secret script, before burning away completely.
At the same time, as Lin Er recalled the appearance of the lizard-like demi-human, he was immediately enveloped in a white light.
As the light faded, he raised his hand and saw that his arm was covered in gray scales, and his pupils emitted a faint crimson glow.
Lin Er examined his appearance. He had completely transformed into a lizard-like demi-human, with sharp eyes and a hint of menace, making him look like someone not to be trifled with.
He then pulled out the steel knife hanging from his waist and slashed his arm, leaving no mark whatsoever.
"These scales are as hard as armor."
Lin Er sighed, stretched out his claws, and suddenly swung them at the evergreen tree next to him.
With a snap, five claw marks, each half an inch deep, were left on the tree trunk, a truly horrifying sight.
"This transformation technique is truly amazing. If I said I wasn't a lizard-like demi-human, I doubt anyone would believe me."
Lin Er felt reassured, sheathed his steel knife, and continued forward following the memories he had gathered from the soul search.
After walking for two hours, as he ventured deeper into the Misty Forest, the thin mist gradually thickened, and visibility decreased.
Fortunately, after transforming into a lizard-like demi-human, his sensitivity to smells improved considerably.
He followed the memories he obtained through soul searching. Before long, he finally arrived at the edge of the core area of the Misty Forest.
As you step inside, a thick fog envelops you, and you can only see the scenery within forty meters.
Lin Er vaguely sensed a force invading his lungs and subconsciously held his breath to resist it.
"This must be the hallucinogenic fumes; inhaling too much will cause you to completely lose your sense of direction."
Fortunately, he has now become a lizard-like demi-human, which gives him some resistance to the poisonous fog, but he still feels a slight discomfort.
This dragon shaman, Kolo, is truly cunning. He releases this poisonous mist, and any adventurer who ventures too far in will surely be trapped inside.
Lin Er roused himself and continued searching for the marks left by Nak.
Before long, a mark carved under the roots of an evergreen tree appeared before him. Following the direction of the mark, he soon discovered that there were more and more lizard-like footprints on the ground.
It's a pity that they weren't very fresh; they were probably left a few days ago. But it also shows that the lizard-like demi-humans often frequent this area, which is good news.
Just then, the sounds of fighting came from ahead.
Lin Er's heart tightened, and he picked up the steel knife and touched it.
As he approached, he saw a group of short, green-skinned creatures attacking several wild boars in the thick fog. These wild boars were covered in earthen armor and were not ordinary beasts.
There were about twenty goblins present. They had green skin with some yellow spots, wore leather armor, and carried crude iron weapons.
Although their equipment was tattered, compared to the goblins they had encountered before, they were now considered a regular army.
Lin Er glanced past the goblins and saw a human giving orders from behind, and the human looked somewhat familiar.
Isn't this the robber who attacked me last time? He's actually here.
Lin Er looked at the bandit skinning the goblins and felt a strange sense of unease.
At this moment, Peeling also saw Lin Er approaching. He was initially startled, but after realizing that it was a lizard demi-human, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Lin Er's excellent equipment, Peeling thought that his status must be high, and immediately ran over to fawn over him.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
This bandit not only spoke rudely to Flora, but he was also a traitor.
Lin Er frowned, recalling Rui Mu's usual behavior, and said coldly, "What are you doing?"
Skinner quickly replied, "I received orders from Boss Iron Anvil to come out and gather some meat to take back."
"Alright, I'm going back anyway."
Lin Er looked up and saw that the goblins were still struggling with the wild boars, so he simply drew his knife and leaped over.
He kicked aside the goblins blocking his way. Seeing that he was a lizard-like demi-human with a fierce expression and a short temper, the goblins didn't dare to fight back and quickly made way for him.
Lin Er immediately charged into the herd of wild boars, drew his knife, and with a flash of cold light, the head of the largest male wild boar was instantly severed.
He pressed his advantage relentlessly, swinging his knife repeatedly, and several wild boars were beheaded one after another.
The surrounding goblins were all startled and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Er sheathed his steel knife and feigned anger, saying, "A bunch of useless trash, what are you all standing there for? Pack your things and go back."
"Yes, sir!"
Peeling back to his senses, he immediately stood at attention, thinking that this lizard-like demi-human was so powerful that he absolutely could not offend him.
He immediately directed the goblins to tie up the wild boar carcass and carry it on a wooden stick.
The group of demons marched in a grand procession toward the Mist Bone Nest.
Peeling ran ahead and came to Lin Er's side.
"Sir, I don't know how to address you."
Lin Er glanced at Skinner indifferently and replied, "My name is Sharp Claw. What's your name?"
Peeling skin, bowing deeply, with a mournful expression on his face, his laughter sounding like crying.
"Lord Sharp Claw, just tell me to skin them. We're very grateful for your help this time, otherwise it would have taken us a lot more time to deal with these wild boars."
Lin Er glanced at him indifferently without responding.
Peeling skin made him look embarrassed.
At this moment, Lin Er noticed that Bo Pi kept making a small gesture of covering his buttocks, and asked curiously, "Why do you keep covering your buttocks for no reason?"
Upon hearing this, Peeler's expression changed drastically. His face turned pale and then red, as if he were recalling an extremely painful past, and his body began to tremble.
After a long while, Skinner replied with a mournful expression, "Lord Sharp Claw, you don't know the truth! These goblins are the worst of the worst! They've tormented me for seven whole days!"
Ok?
After Lin Er understood, he couldn't help but bite his tongue. He had received professional training and would never laugh at a time like this.
After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said, "Then you're really pitiful. These goblins are indeed beasts."
Upon hearing this, Peeler clenched his fists and exclaimed excitedly, "Lord Sharp Claw, they've all been laughing at me. You're truly kind-hearted!"
Lin Er waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "We're home."
Upon hearing this, Bopi withdrew his gaze, looked up ahead, and realized that he had already arrived at the camp.
Lin Er looked up and saw that the camp was surrounded by a city wall six or seven meters high, which was made of piled stones and rammed earth.
On the city walls, there were not only watchtowers, but also many lizard-like demi-humans patrolling, making it look heavily guarded.
Lin Er and Bo Pi arrived at the gate, where several lizard-like demi-human soldiers blocked their way.
"Password?"
Lin Er was taken aback; he didn't recall using any password during the soul search. It was most likely something the dragon shaman, Kolo, had recently come up with.
At this moment, Skinner spoke first: "Long live Storm Throat!"
"Password correct, you may enter."
Lin Er couldn't help but purse his lips. Despite the password, the military skills of these lizard-like demi-humans were still quite perfunctory.
