"What else?" Xu Zii said, "A Monster Beast of the lting Heaven Realm, an existence as insignificant as an ant, how else could it struggle?"
"But it was one of the Four Protectors," Lu Yun still found it sowhat unbelievable.
It was difficult for centuries-old beliefs to change in an instant.
"It was the strongest being after the Black Dragon, after all."
"That’s only from your perspective," Xu Zii said, "If you get the chance, go out and see the wider world and you’ll understand."
As the Black Dragon died, the tumultuous river gradually cald down.
"What about it?" Lu Yun asked, pointing at the body of the Black Jiao Dragon.
"Just leave it there, it’s no use," Xu Zii replied.
The two sat on the back of the Dark Heaven Tiger, crossed the river, and arrived on the land on the other side.
Although it was only separated by a river, this land was different from the plain of the Green Lizards.
The ground beneath their feet was red, and even the plants that grew were mostly light red.
Not far ahead, a canyon appeared in their sight.
"Let’s go, the Red Lizards live inside the canyon. It’s just that I don’t know if anything has changed over such a long ti," Lu Yun said.
Xu Zii nodded his head, putting away the Dark Heaven Tiger, and stepped onto the red earth, walking step by step.
"Can you tell , what are you looking for from our lizard kind?" Lu Yun fell silent for a mont.
He finally mustered up the courage to ask, "I used to believe that you stumbled into our world by accident, but now I feel that you must have a purpose in coming here."
"What use do you think your lizard kind have for ?" Xu Zii said with a smile.
"I don’t know," Lu Yun shook his head.
"Ever heard of the Blood Lizard?" Xu Zii said again.
"You are," Lu Yun gasped, thought for a while, then finally reacted.
"No wonder, you’re talking about that legend."
"It seems you know," Xu Zii nodded.
"That’s right, to your humans, our lizard kind really do have so use."
Lu Yun said, "This is a secret within our tribe, ordinary lizards don’t know about it.
But a thousand years ago, when the Heavenly Venerate of Ragefire ca here with the sa goal as you, I learned of these things."
"He gave up afterwards?" Xu Zii asked.
"Not exactly, his Fusion thod was incomplete, so he ultimately failed," Lu Yun shook his head in response.
"If he had a complete Fusion thod at that ti and consud the heart of the Blood Lizard, maybe he really could have defeated the Black Dragon."
"It seems you know quite a lot," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"Our lizard kind live a long ti; the longer we live, the more we know," Lu Yun said, looking at Xu Zii.
"Can you promise sothing?"
"Not to kill the people of your lizard kind?" Xu Zii asked in return.
"No, could you not kill the innocent lizards, those who were dogs for the Black Dragon should be enough for you to kill, right?" Lu Yun said.
"I’ll consider it," Xu Zii smiled.
The two had already arrived at the canyon while they talked, the soil of this canyon was also deep red clay.
Not a single plant grew on the canyon, it was a bit like the desert Gobi, barren and bare.
The canyon wasn’t huge, but the temperature within was indeed a few degrees hotter; there were so footprints on the ground that seed to belong to the Red Lizards.
The two followed the path through the canyon, walking forward for thirty to forty ters, when suddenly they heard a voice, "Halt, who goes there?"
Three dark figures jumped down from above the canyon.
"It’s the Black Dragon Guards," Lu Yun hurriedly said.
"Who are you?" the three n glanced at Lu Yun and scolded, "What are you Green Lizards doing here?"
Xu Zii slightly frowned and, not bothering with idle talk, waved his right hand, sending the three figures flying backward.
With a "boom," the three n slamd heavily against the canyon wall.
Due to the excessive force, debris fell from above, and the bodies of the three n embedded into the wall.
"You," one of them pointed at Xu Zii but before he could finish his sentence, he spat out black blood and fell silent forever.
This commotion also caught the attention of others, as doors made of earth opened one after another on the canyon walls.
One by one, red heads poked out, cautiously looking around.
These Red Lizards lived in places similar to cave dwellings carved out from earthen walls, with doors also made from compacted red earth.
"Soone has killed a Black Dragon Guard."
"What’s happening? It looks like there’s a Green Lizard too? How did it get to our side?"
At first, the Red Lizards whispered among themselves, but as more people joined the discussion, the voices grew louder and the noise escalated.
"Folks, don’t be afraid, we are here to rescue you," Lu Yun shouted to the crowd.
"We have killed the Black Dragon Guards, and the Black Jiao in that Black River is dead too, you are now free."
Just then, an angry shout ca from not far away.
"What’s all the noise about? Do you all want to die?" A group of Red Lizards in red armor ran over.
"Let’s kill them, the lackeys have arrived," Lu Yun said from the side.
After this group of Red Lizards arrived, they were all shocked at the scene before them.
"Lord Black Dragon Guards, what happened to you?" The leader hurried to the front, and after a quick examination, realized they were no longer breathing.
He turned around, shivering, and asked, "Who killed them?"
"," Xu Zii said indifferently.
The Red Lizards in red armor all drew their swords, eyeing Xu Zii with hostility.
"What are you doing? Well done for killing them," unexpectedly, the leader shouted at his subordinates.
He scolded, "This hero has slain these beasts for us, which should be cause for celebration. Are you trying to rebel?"
After saying this, the Red Lizard leader turned to Xu Zii and said with a sycophantic smile, "My lord, you have no idea.
These Black Dragon Guards have been enslaving us, and we’ve had no choice but to follow their orders and do things against our will.
Actually, I’ve wanted to rebel for a long ti, but I never found the right opportunity."
"You have a clear grasp of the situation, not bad," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"Unfortunately, I’m rather peculiar; anyone I want dead, whether they oppose or follow , must die."
As his voice fell, Xu Zii’s hand slamd down, and a giant hand condensed from Spiritual Energy crashed down.
With a "rumble" explosion, the ground was left with a deep five-finger print and scattered corpses.
Xu Zii removed their hearts one by one, turning to Lu Yun, he said, "I’ll leave this place to you; I’ll depart as soon as I’m done here."
Watching Xu Zii leave the canyon, all the Red Lizards jumped down from the cave dwellings, surrounding Lu Yun with curiosity and bombarding him with questions.
......
Having left the canyon, Xu Zii found a relatively quiet place to begin fusing the hearts of the Fire Lizards.
He took out one Fusion Stone after another.
