Intervening in the Battle

On the ground, Linsey and Hong were also staring at each other.

On the mound in front of them were piles of various kinds of food.

After the mole-like Devil Beast accepted the kindness, the two parties began to negotiate.

By constantly tempting with food.

Linsey converts more than just a few gophers from neutral yellow to friendly green.

He even had a certain understanding of the story about the collapse of the ground in the east. It seemed to be the traces of a battle decades ago.

But just as everything was getting better.

Linsey was wondering if he could get information about Dragon Beast from the mouths of these Devil Beast.

The gopher, who was happily negotiating with him a second ago and enjoying all kinds of novel food, suddenly burrowed underground.

Wait until there is a reaction under the mound again.

What came out were not those friendly gophers, but some lizards with transparent bodies! This underground creature looks very ugly.

But their transparent bodies add a mysterious aura to them, making people's first impressions of them somewhat hesitant.

"Linsey?"

In this situation, even Hong was a little unsure.

She stretched out her hand to hold [Wood Poison Javelin], but it felt like something was wrong, so she scratched her waist. "What's going on? What comes down is different from what comes up!"

"This..." Linsey was also confused.

Two human beings living on the ground have no idea about the war taking place underground.

Although the gophers already had good intentions towards them, it was impossible for them to directly tell two strange humans about the attack on their nest.

So in the eyes of Linsey, this was a strange and incredible scene.

Whoosh——

At this moment, a Dark Tide Water Lizard stuck out its tongue.

Unlike Linsey and Hong who want to obtain information, it does not intend to consider the origins of the two humans in front of it.

Since it is an 'outsider' who also appears in Three Pillars Lake, the method of dealing with it is very simple - kill.

Zheng! A cold light flashed through the sky.

The attack launched by Fourth Stage Devil Beast seemed to be in slow motion in the eyes of Linsey.

The moment the other person's tongue comes out.

He took out his dagger and slashed it in the air.

[Ice Badger Dagger] instantly cut the tongue of Dark Tide Water Lizard in half.

Of course, a section of tongue being destroyed cannot affect the life of this Dark Tide Water Lizard.

But the cold air affected the structure of its tongue, so that it could not retract its tongue into its mouth, and could only put two ice skates together miserably at its mouth.

"Hiss-chi!"

Dark Tide Water Lizard twisted his body in pain.

It looked at the two humans with extremely fearful eyes, mixed with a hint of despair.

The tongue is arguably their most important hunting organ.

In the current situation, if the tongue is damaged, it is almost the same as being sentenced to death! At the same time, the two members of the same race who followed the Dark Tide Water Lizard to the ground were a little at a loss.

They have realized that they are definitely no match for Linsey and Hong.

However, Dark Tide Water Lizard, who brought them to the surface, is currently the strongest Fourth Stage in the entire group, and is also one of the preparations for the next leader.

They can't just abandon the weak in their escape life.

Just leave a very important individual in this ethnic group where he is, right?

"..."

"That's all?"

Linsey looked at Dark Tide Water Lizard who was trembling all over, but felt nothing.

After receiving several enhancements and receiving bonuses from many new equipment, his permanent agility attribute reached 34 points.

No matter Fifth Stage's human awakener or Devil Beast.

Except for some people with extreme abilities, these are almost peak-level attributes.

Right now there is a Fourth Stage Devil Beast, and the attack was launched in person.

Linsey can handle it easily.

At the same time, Dark Tide Water Lizard's active attack brought about another change in addition to Linsey's counterattack.

Hong was no longer confused.

The girl's hand that was on her waist a second ago was tightly grasped by [Wood Poison Javelin].

Whoosh——

Dark Tide Water Lizard couldn't even see the movements of the human female in front of him.

The two differentiated afterimages had already broken through the air and stabbed the abdomens of the two uninjured Dark Tide Water Lizard.

Being attacked by Hong was even more miserable than having his tongue split open by Linsey.

The two Dark Tide Water Lizards didn't even have time to struggle, as the toxins and Withering Power quickly eroded their bodies. In less than a breath, the two Dark Tide Water Lizards, which were so vivid a second ago, disappeared on the mound.

Red takes back [Wood Poison Javelin].

She was completely uninterested in this kind of easy killing, and even missed the activity of teasing the gopher with food just now. "Linsey, the one with the severed tongue is left for you."

Linsey is noncommittal about this.

He stepped forward and picked up Dark Tide Water Lizard, who was still struggling.

[Devil Beast: Dark Tide Water Lizard]

[A Devil Beast from Fourth Stage. It can move in water and underground, and has tough skin, but its most important attack weapon, its tongue, has been destroyed.]

[Disabled Devil Beast pet? It can only be sold at a very low price, but maybe there are kind-hearted people who want to adopt this poor little guy?]

"Fourth Stage's Devil Beast..."

Linsey raised his eyebrows and threw Dark Tide Water Lizard at Hong's feet.

At this time he opened the map again.

"Huh?"

Linsey looked surprised.

He was negotiating with the gopher just now and was not distracted by the changes in other places.

At this moment, I looked at the map again and realized what was happening underground.

Yellow symbolizes neutrality, green symbolizes friendliness, and red symbolizes hostility.

These marks appear densely beneath the surface.

Their positions are confused with each other. The yellow and green colors are rapidly decreasing, but the number of red ones is relatively stable.

"The yellow and green must be those gophers just now."

"As for this red..."

Linsey looked at Dark Tide Water Lizard who was thrown to the ground.

He didn't have any prejudice against these wild Devil Beast, but after finally establishing a good relationship with the gophers, he couldn't just give up the source of high-quality intelligence.

Linsey opened the map and studied it carefully.

The entrance from the mound to the underground is narrow, but after reaching a certain depth, the naturally formed cave space is wide enough.

There is definitely no problem for an adult to move around down there.

"Hmm... let's give it a try?"

Linsey directly put on [Mountains Crest], and at the same time told Hong: "Hong, help me keep an eye on this guy, this guy might also know something."

Of course Hong has no objection.

She instantly flew up with a kick, knocking Dark Tide Water Lizard unconscious as usual, and then asked, "Linsey, what do you want to do?"

Linsey pointed to the mound under his feet.

He activated the escape effect of [Mountains Crest] and immediately went down:

"I'm going down to see if I can help those gophers."

"The relationship we finally built cannot be abandoned halfway!"
