Capturing the Lizardfolk
The aphrodisiac used by Hu Guang was called "Spring-Harmony Powder," which was a type of aphrodisiac he developed himself.
The prescription, finished product, and raw materials for Spring-Harmony Powder are all in Hu Guang's storage ring.
After Song Wen devoured his soul and Essence Blood, he stored his corpse in his storage ring.
Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.
The commotion caused by the Sacred Beetle Gu killing thirteen second-tier Lizardfolk alerted the other Lizardfolk.
These first-tier Lizardfolk were thrown into a brief panic after seeing the deaths of all thirteen of their most powerful kin.
After a burst of chaotic, noisy chatter...
The Lizardfolk gradually accepted the fact that all their powerful kin had died. It's unclear which Lizardfolk started it, but the Lizardfolk began to fight and gnaw on the corpses of their own kind.
Inside the stone house, Song Wen, who had sensed all of this with his Divine Sense, shook his head.
They really are a bunch of lowly, unintelligent beasts.
It possesses only a powerful, humanoid body.
Song Wen raised his hand and unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, creating a hole in the roof. He then leaped into the air and silently left the Lizardfolk settlement.
The Lizardfolk, busy scrambling for food, were completely unaware of Song Wen's departure.
Amidst the vast expanse of yellow sand, a blue lake peeks out like a drop in the ocean.
This lake is not large, about ten miles in size.
The lake water was a clear, deep blue, shimmering in the sunlight.
The lake is surrounded by lush trees and verdant grass, creating a vibrant scene.
A considerable amount of Spiritual Qi wafted through the oasis.
The amazing thing is that the Spiritual Qi does not dissipate beyond the oasis.
However, behind this beautiful oasis lurks a deadly danger.
The lake is inhabited by aquatic Demon Beast, the forests conceal terrestrial Demon Beast, and the soil is riddled with the caves of earth-type Demon Beast. All sorts of Demon Beast roam freely, and danger lurks everywhere.
On the edge of the oasis, there is a settlement of Lizardfolk.
A major battle is currently raging within the settlement.
The two sides in the great battle were the Lizardfolk and the sandworms.
The Lizardfolk are at a clear disadvantage.
Sandworms are social, mythical Demon Beast that live beneath the yellow sand.
The sandworms that participated in the battle ranged in size from the size of a human waist to the thickness of a water tank.
More than a hundred sandworms attacked the lizardman Human Race. Nearly half of the sandworms had reached the second tier of strength, and the rest were all in the Late First Rank.
The sandworm emerged from the yellow sand, swaying its thick, long body, with a long tongue protruding from its head.
The tip of its long tongue is covered with fine, sharp teeth.
The sandworm is extremely cunning, specifically targeting Lizardfolk who are weaker than itself.
Whether they are strong Lizardfolk or newborn Lizardfolk, none can escape the sandworm's clutches. Once entangled by the sandworm's tongue, they will be swallowed whole.
When encountering a powerful opponent, sandworms will retreat into the yellow sand and disappear without a trace.
The Lizardfolk's settlement was devastated, riddled with holes and pits dug out by sandworms.
Among the Lizardfolk, there are more than thirty who have reached the second tier, and even a few of them Lizardfolk at the peak of the second tier.
These Lizardfolk were powerful, but they were overwhelmed by the swarm of sandworms.
They rushed back and forth within their settlements, exhausted and unable to effectively organize a resistance.
The number of Lizardfolk is decreasing rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that they were no match for the enemy, the powerful Lizardfolk decided to retreat and fled in different directions.
The sandworms seemed to harbor a deep hatred for the Lizardfolk, relentlessly pursuing them.
Groups of three to five sandworms would hunt down the same Lizardfolk, and after succeeding, they would go on to kill other powerful Lizardfolk.
Hidden ten miles away, behind a sand dune, Song Wen observed all of this with his Divine Sense.
His Divine Sense could perceive a radius of four miles, and with the help of the Sacred Beetle Gu, he could perceive a radius of sixteen miles, which was already on par with Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator.
He discovered a female Lizardfolk at the peak of the second tier, fleeing in his direction.
When the female Lizardfolk was still two miles away from Song Wen, the yellow sand behind her suddenly exploded, and a sand worm as thick as a water vat shot out from the ground.
The sandworm swayed its thick, long body, its long tongue protruding like a giant whip, and lashed out at the Lizardfolk.
The Lizardfolk leaped forward with all his might, barely dodging the long tongue.
This leap covered a distance of hundreds of feet.
The Lizardfolk had just landed when the yellow sand beneath his feet surged.
Below, another sandworm lurks, intending to swallow the Lizardfolk along with the sand.
The Lizardfolk stomped down hard with his thick, sturdy feet.
A tremendous force acts on the yellow sand and then transmits to the sand worms underground.
The sandworms' upward momentum slowed abruptly.
The Lizardfolk used the momentum to leap up again.
However, after leaping hundreds of feet, the Lizardfolk, despite his brute strength, was unable to fly and fell back to the ground.
In the direction where it was about to land, a sandworm was already waiting, its mouth wide open, waiting for the Lizardfolk to walk right into its trap.
The two sandworms burrowed back into the sand and surged rapidly beneath the yellow sand, heading towards the direction where the Lizardfolk had landed.
It was clear that the Lizardfolk was about to be surrounded by three sandworms.
At this time.
A cold glint flashed out.
Slash at the sand worm that was lying in wait.
The sandworm flicked its long tongue, aiming at the cold light.
The Cold Light is a top-grade Spirit Artifact, the Soul-Splitting Blade, whose blade is incomparably sharp.
The sandworm's long tongue is thick and tough, but it appears somewhat vulnerable to the attack of the Soul-Splitting Blade.
The Soul-Splitting Blade pierced through the long tongue, then burst forth from the other end of the body.
Black liquid splattered through the air.
The sandworm cried out in pain, letting out a cryptic howl. It retracted its long tongue and quickly retreated towards the ground.
At this moment, two more sandworms arrived. They emerged from the sand like two Flood Dragons fighting for a dragon pearl, both sticking out their long tongues and coiling towards the Lizardfolk who was about to fall.
Suddenly, a black shadow, ten feet tall, appeared in mid-air.
A ghostly figure, wielding a massive black sword, plummeted from the sky at breakneck speed.
Fifty feet above the ground, the ghostly figure raised his longsword and slashed it through the air.
A black Sword Qi, ten zhang long, shot out from the sword and slashed at the two sand worms below.
Sensing the threat of death, the two sandworms immediately abandoned the Lizardfolk they were about to devour, and each retreated back into the yellow sand.
"Puff!"
Black Sword Qi landed on the sand.
They carved out a sand trench several meters deep and tens of meters long.
Yellow sand surged into the sky, and gravel flowed.
The sand ditch was quickly filled in again.
The Lizardfolk was inexplicably rescued, and after a brief moment of disbelief, it continued its escape.
Just as it had escaped a few dozen feet away, the Ghost King descended from the sky and landed in front of it.
He held the greatsword horizontally, its tip pointing at the Lizardfolk.
The female Lizardfolk suddenly felt immense pressure descend upon her, as if a mountain were pressing down on her.
The innate survival instinct of living beings made it stop in its tracks.
It knew all too well that the Ghost King was not someone it could contend with.
However, being of low intelligence, it couldn't quite understand why this ghost, which had just saved it, was now blocking its path.
Song Wen arrived on his sword, hovering ten feet away from the female Lizardfolk.
He pointed to the Lizardfolk, then to himself.
Then, he waved to the Lizardfolk, signaling Lizardfolk to follow him.
Then, he turned around and slowly rode away on his sword.
They flew more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) and saw that the Lizardfolk had not followed.
Song Wen looked fierce and made a throat-slitting gesture.
The female Lizardfolk stared blankly at Song Wen, then turned to look at the Ghost King beside her, before finally following behind Song Wen.
