The Victor Is Justice: The Lost Treasure, "The Lizardmen's Cauldron"
Bang! Bang! Blood blossoms bloomed on the bodies of the hunting Lizardman. The force of Su Kui Zhu Zhu's stone attacks was indeed astonishing.
But!
"Too weak, Magic Arrow!"
Tang Zheng sang softly.
One after another, Magic Arrow appeared out of thin air. As their magic power continued to be consumed, ten arrows were condensed in one go and shot towards Su Kui Zhu Zhu.
Damn it!
Su Kui Zhu Zhu's expression changed, and he quickly rolled on the ground to dodge the first few arrows that attacked, then quickly took out a stone and shot it at the arrows.
Clang! Clang!
The pebbles and Magic Arrow collided repeatedly in the air, producing a loud crashing sound.
"Plant Entanglement!" The old Priest Lizardman snapped back to reality and quickly cast a spell.
Vines sprouted from the ground around Tang Zheng, coiling around him like snakes.
With a flick of his palm, the "Forest Traversal" magic item appeared. He waved it at the vines, and all the vines immediately bypassed Tang Zheng.
"Magic Arrow!"
Tang Zheng unleashed his magic again, aiming it at the old Priest, the Lizardman:
"Flash!" the old Priest Lizardman shouted.
A blinding light burst forth.
Tang Zheng squinted slightly; under the passive blessing of "Body of Divine Protection," the dazzling light did not completely obstruct his vision.
Magic Arrow is fired!
"Ah!" The old Priest, Lizardman, couldn't dodge in time and was struck by Magic Arrow that pierced through his body.
"Elder!" Su Kui Zhu Zhu's expression changed drastically upon hearing the scream.
"Run! We're no match for him!"
The old Priest, Lizardman, coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, calling out to Sukuri Zhuzhu in a weak voice.
When he saw that Tang Zheng was able to summon a second Flame Archangel, he realized the gap between the two sides.
The mournful, heroic voices of the tribe's Warrior.
With his last ounce of strength, the old Priest Lizardman, aimed at Tang Zhong: "Earth Bind!"
Wow~
Centered on Tang Zheng, the entire ground began to undulate like waves. Then, the ordinary swamp began to sink, quickly engulfing Tang Zheng.
The feet of the Barghest and the hunting Lizardman.
However, the ground didn't sink very deep, just enough to barely cover the lower legs.
"Walk!"
The old Priest, Lizardman, looked at the stunned Sukui Zhuzhu and called out weakly.
"A binding spell? Too bad its strength isn't very high."
None of you are leaving.
Tang Zheng exerted force with both feet and forcibly broke free from the mud that bound him.
He was a warrior around level 30, and this level of binding magic had a passive reduction, so he could break free with a little effort.
Boom!
The Bone Chains the Barghest lashed forcefully against the ground beneath its feet, creating a crack in the surging earth, before it leaped off the ground with a powerful bound.
The next moment!
"Roar!" The Barghest roared as it charged toward Su Kui Zhu Zhu.
"Magic Arrow!"
Tang Zheng activated the magic again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three arrows flew out, blocking Su Kui Zhu Zhu's escape route.
Su Kui Zhu Zhu's face was pale, and her eyes revealed a hint of despair as she helplessly faced the charging Barghest.
at the same time.
The Flame Archangel had already slaughtered all the Lizardman Warrior and, under Tang Zheng's command, charged into the tribe.
soon.
A bloodcurdling scream echoed from within the tribe once more as the bound Flame Archangel broke free. Under the onslaught of two Flame Archangel, the Lizardman were utterly defeated.
Tang Zheng lifted his foot and walked towards the old Priest Lizardman breath was faint.
"Why, why did you do that?"
"Children of the tribe—I curse you, you wicked human! May your heads be chopped off by the righteous Lizardman warriors and hung high under the watchful gaze of the ancestral spirits!"
The old Lizardman Priest lay weakly on the ground, hearing the wailing and screams coming from within the tribe. His face was filled with resentment as he looked at Tang Zheng approaching. "A curse? Sorry, curses probably won't work on me." Tang Zheng approached the old Lizardman Priest, his expression calm.
"Evil? Justice? In my eyes, only the victor is just."
Just like the future Bone Lord and the Great Tomb, what difference does it make if the clever ones see through the drama of justice and evil unfolding between nations?
The victor is justice!
The loser is nothing but an evil clown!
"You wicked thing—"
The old Priest, Lizardman, spoke weakly, unwilling to accept his fate.
"Charm Species: All!"
The magic is activated.
The old Priest's Lizardman curses abruptly ceased.
As the charm magic shifted, the hunter Lizardman who had been under control suddenly awoke, but was still confused about the situation.
The excruciating pain from the wounds inflicted by Su Kui Zhu Zhu with pebbles surged throughout his body, and he screamed as he collapsed to the ground.
While charm spells can be used multiple times, they can only be used to precisely control one person. However, if you use "Magic Expansion," you can charm and control multiple people.
The battle on the Barghest's side also ended quickly, and it excitedly ran over from a distance, carrying the blood-soaked Sukui Zhuzhu in its mouth.
"Well done."
Tang Zheng glanced at Su Kui Zhu Zhu, deciding not to deal with her for the time being.
"First, take me to the place in your tribe where all kinds of knowledge are stored."
Tang Zheng took out Regeneration Potion and sprinkled it on the old Priest Lizardman. Under the effect of the Recovery Potion, the wounds on his body quickly healed.
The old Priest, Lizardman, stood up blankly from the ground and led Tang Zheng into the tribe.
The Barghest followed closely behind, carrying the unconscious Sukuri Zhu Zhu in its mouth.
Within the tribe.
Large swaths of the ground were stained crimson with blood, and the mangled bodies of the Lizardman Warrior lay scattered across the ground, making the already thick stench of blood in the air even more intense.
Faced with such a scene,
Tang Zheng found himself feeling very calm.
"Have I become so indifferent without realizing it? Perhaps deep down I don't consider these Demi-Human Species as my own kind."
Tang Zheng stepped onto the blood-stained ground, then scoffed self-deprecatingly, "I have no right to pity others, other races, now."
"Besides, I didn't go so far as to kill them all."
He had already noticed that some of the women and children of the "Little Fang Tribe" Lizardman had escaped under the prior arrangements of Sukwi Zhuzhu.
Tang Zheng had no intention of hunting down these Lizardman. Lizardman were meant to be left for the future Ainz Bone Lord.
"Tell me about that lost Lizardman treasure."
As Tang Zheng walked forward, he spoke to the old Priest- Lizardman was leading the way.
At the same time, his gaze swept over the Attribute Panel.
[Experience Bar: 173405/70000]
With an additional 45,000 Experience Points, the Lizardman Warrior and some ordinary Lizardman of the "Little Fang Tribe" should have been almost completely wiped out by the Flame Archangel.
Based on the experience gained from level progression, over 170,000 experience points should be enough to level up two times.
"Once the ' Magic Swordsman ' reaches the maximum level, it's time to consider the subsequent upgrade plan."
Tang Zheng thought to himself silently.
In response to Tang Zheng's question, the old Priest Lizardman began to explain in detail.
The Lizardman race has a clear class structure, with the chieftain being the highest-ranking member, followed by Council of Elders composed of Priest who assist the chieftain.
Because the chieftain is the strongest person in the tribe, the chieftain changes much more frequently than the Council of Elders who control the Priest.
It is precisely because of this situation that the members of the Council of Elders know far more about the secrets of the Lizardman race than the chieftain does, let alone ordinary Lizardman.
According to the old Priest, the Lizardman,...
Tang Zheng finally learned what the lost Lizardman treasure was, which was not mentioned at all in the original work.
It's a Magic Cauldron!
As for its specific abilities, the old Priest Lizardman was rather vague, only giving a general idea, because this one of the four treasures had never fallen into the hands of the "Little Fang Tribe" even before it was lost.
but.
From the vague information mentioned by the old Priest Lizardman, Tang Zheng was able to deduce some of the magic cauldron's abilities.
He recalled that the Lizardman worshipped their ancestors and believed that their ancestors would bring them power, so they would perform special rituals.
Participants in the ritual will drink a potion made from special herbs, which can induce feelings of happiness, warmth, and Dispel fear.
Lizardman Priest use this to proclaim the power of ancestral possession. In addition, they use special pigments to carve totem patterns on their bodies to further promote and create the feeling of ancestral possession.
This situation.
This reminded Tang Zheng of a ritual the Lizardman had performed when they were fighting the Undead Army, though it seemed to have no effect at the time.
Looking back now,
He suspected it might be related to the missing Magic Cauldron; thinking about it carefully, the Twin Witches possessed the most powerful "Frost Fang."

What you steal must be something more useful to you.
