"So, what exactly is this?"
In front of a low cave, Gaviru sat on his mount, stroking his chin as he gazed at the bizarre scene before him.
At the entrance of the cave, a layer of dark, shadow-like mist was slowly writhing.
From time to time, humanoid arms would even reach out from the mist, as if trying to grab something.
What Gaviru found most strange was that, for some reason, looking at this black mist gave him the feeling that it was alive, and those outstretched arms were like venomous snakes hunting for prey.
"Lord Gaviru, what do we do now?"
At that moment, one of the three lizardman followers, riding his mount, approached Gaviru and asked.
The black mist blocking the entrance to the underground cavern gave him a bad feeling, instinctively reminding him that if he couldn't think straight, he could ride his mount over and touch it, guaranteeing instant death, and he could also experience the ultimate pain in the world.
"Find another entrance."
Gaviru glanced at the follower beside him, and after hesitating for a few seconds, decided to find another entrance to return to the underground cavern.
Although he was narcissistic and had something wrong with his head, he still cherished his life, after all, he was the noble lizardman's next generation leader... no, he was about to become the lizardman leader.
Subsequently, Gaviru led his three followers towards another entrance to the underground cavern, but no matter how many places they changed, the entrance to the underground cavern was covered by a thick black mist.
The three followers even thought about bypassing the entrance and drilling in from the side.
Unfortunately, just as they had broken a piece of rock next to the entrance, a twisted, dark hand burst out from within the rock, and if they hadn't reacted in time, they would have been grabbed directly.
An hour later, Gaviru led his three followers back to the original entrance.
By this time, even Gaviru's narcissistic brain had noticed something was wrong.
Moreover, in the process of going to other entrances, Gaviru had also specifically searched for those clansmen who should have been on guard and hunting outside the underground cavern.
But without exception, they had all disappeared.
But what was strange was that when Gaviru checked the places where those clansmen had been, he found that everything had been taken away cleanly, which meant that they had plenty of time when they left and had not encountered any enemies at all.
"Lord Gaviru, what do we do now?"
A follower approached Gaviru and asked cautiously, but looking at his appearance, he didn't seem nervous at all.
In his opinion, no matter what happened, Lord Gaviru could easily solve it.
"Go straight in, I don't believe that a mere layer of black mist can stop me, Lord Gaviru."
After glancing at the follower, Gaviru turned his head to look at the black mist covering the cave entrance.
The next second, Gaviru raised his head and said with a confident and proud expression.
In the sunlight, the scales on Gaviru's body reflected a faint light.
The three lizardman followers behind him looked at Gaviru at this moment with admiration.
In their eyes, Gaviru was now emitting a dazzling light, so handsome!
"Forward!"
The next second, Gaviru shouted loudly to cheer himself up, and then drove his mount to approach the black mist blocking the cave entrance little by little.
As Gaviru approached, the black mist covering the cave entrance, like a hunter who had smelled blood, began to become unusually active, and dense black humanoid palms stretched out from the black mist.
"Gulp!"
Looking at the hands reaching out towards him, Gaviru subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart became more and more uneasy.
He instinctively wanted to escape from here, but when he heard the three followers behind him shouting praises, a strange sense of self-confidence emerged again.
"Who!"
Just as Gaviru was about to touch the dense black palms, a figure suddenly walked out of the black mist.
Gaviru, who was already nervous, instantly raised his head and shouted, looking at the unfamiliar figure in front of him.
"My foolish brother, you've finally returned."
Countless black palms twisted wildly around Cang Hua, and Cang Hua raised her head expressionlessly to look at Gaviru in front of her, her blue pupils filled with indifference and contempt.
Cang Hua had long been displeased with her brainless and narcissistic brother.
"You... you are...?"
Gaviru looked at Cang Hua, who had a pair of dragon horns on her head but looked like a human girl, and asked with a hint of hesitation.
As a demon, he could clearly sense the other party's powerful but familiar aura.
However, it was precisely because of this that Gaviru dared not confirm Cang Hua's identity.
After all, he had always been the strongest man in the entire lizardman clan, and even his father, who was the leader of the lizardman clan, was no longer his opponent because of old age.
But now, his sister, who had always been ignored by him, had become so powerful that just standing in front of her made Gaviru instinctively fearful, and he had only felt this way when Lord Grumite, who had given him his name, was present.
"Cang Hua, the master gave me the name Cang Hua."
Cang Hua raised her head and looked at Gaviru with an extremely cold tone, and then looked at the three followers behind Gaviru who had been unable to speak under her aura.
A trace of red light flashed in her turquoise pupils.
"Master?"
At this time, Gaviru didn't notice his sister's strange eyes at all, but stroked his chin and began to think about the master Cang Hua said.
After Gaviru used his not-so-smart brain to think for a while, he suddenly showed a look of sudden realization and looked at Cang Hua.
Then, he swaggered down from his mount, completely ignoring the black and strange arms around Cang Hua, and walked directly to Cang Hua's side and patted her shoulder hard, looking at her like an older brother.
"It seems that you have also met Lord Grumite, and were given a name by him, but Lord Grumite values me, Lord Gaviru, the most.
The reason I came back this time is because Lord Grumite sent an envoy to remind me."
After speaking, Gaviru ignored Cang Hua's gaze as if she was looking at an idiot and a dead lizard, and walked directly through the black mist into the underground cavern.
Now he was eager to meet Lord Grumite, after all, Gaviru had never seen Lord Grumite again since he was given his name.
"As expected, brother, you are as foolish as ever..."
Cang Hua turned her head to look at Gaviru's figure disappearing into the black mist, and a terrifying smile appeared on her cold face.
The three lizardman followers not far away were so frightened by Cang Hua's appearance that they screamed, and then as Cang Hua looked at them, the three lizardmen hugged each other tightly and comforted each other.
"You three, aren't you coming in?"
"Yes, Lord Cang Hua!"
The three lizardman followers, upon hearing Cang Hua's cold voice, hurriedly drove their mounts and trotted over.
On the way, one of the followers also conveniently brought Gaviru's mount along, and entered the underground cavern from Cang Hua's side.
"Hmph!"
After glancing at the three departing lackeys, Canghua raised his head to look at a large tree in the distance. His azure eyes seemed to pierce through the tree, focusing on a certain figure. A few seconds later, Canghua coldly snorted and returned to the underground cavern.
“How terrifying, how terrifying.”
Several minutes after Canghua left, Laplace, dressed as a clown, emerged from the shadows behind the tree. The comical clown face wore a bizarre smile as he looked at the entrance to the underground cavern.
“It seems that after the Storm Dragon Veldora disappeared, we are not the only ones eyeing the Jura Forest.”
The next second, a breeze swept past, and Laplace vanished from the spot. Laplace planned to return and discuss the matter of others targeting the Jura Forest with Clayman, after all, that Dragonewt just now had the strength of a Greater Demon, and had only recently been named.
And to be able to evolve a monster to possess the strength of a Greater Demon after being named, then the opponent's master is at least of the Demon Lord species.
......
Inside the dim underground cavern, Gavil was skillfully heading towards the cave where the Lizardman tribe's leader was located. However, Gavil didn't spot a single Lizardman along the way, and strangely, the air throughout the underground cavern was filled with the stench of blood and burning... mixed with the smell of roasted meat.
“Lord Gavil!”
“Wait for us, Lord Gavil!”
“So scary!”
At this moment, hurried calls came from behind Gavil, drawing his attention. When he turned his head, three dark figures pounced directly into his arms. The most timid of the lackeys cried, hugging Gavil, looking utterly terrified.
“What happened?”
Gavil looked at the crying lackey in his arms with a puzzled expression, not understanding what had happened to the three of them. Weren't they just fine a moment ago?
“Lord Gavil, they're all... all dead!”
Beside him, a lackey who had barely managed to avoid being frightened out of his wits looked at Gavil and said, his eyes filled with unconcealable fear and terror.
“All dead? What's all dead?”
Upon hearing the Lizardman lackey's words, the puzzled expression on Gavil's face became even more pronounced. Weren't the three of them right here, perfectly fine? How could they say everyone was dead?
“The mounts, our mounts are all dead.”
Beside him, another Lizardman lackey trembled as he stammered to Gavil. Just now, as they rode their mounts through the black mist into the underground cavern, countless pairs of hands suddenly reached out from the black mist, directly grabbing them and the mounts beneath them.
But for some reason, the next second, those hands threw them out again. In mid-air, the three Lizardman lackeys watched with their own eyes as their and Gavil's mounts were torn into pieces of meat by those pairs of hands, and then those hands retreated back into the black mist.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Just as Gavil wanted to ask why the hands in the black mist had killed their mounts, heavy footsteps suddenly came from in front of him. When he raised his head, he saw Canghua walking towards him with a blank expression.
“Come with me, Master wants to see you.”
Canghua lowered his head slightly, glanced at Gavil and the three Lizardman lackeys huddled in his arms, and walked directly past them towards the depths of the cave, not worried that they would escape at all.
“Lord Gavil, what do we do?”
The most timid Lizardman lackey raised his head, looking at Gavil with tearful eyes, asking what to do. Honestly, right now he just wanted to leave this place and return to his little nest to rest and soothe his frightened heart.
“Go see the leader.”
Gavil looked at Canghua's departing figure, directly pushed away the three lackeys in his arms, and with a wave of his hand, his cloak fluttered behind him as he followed. The three lackeys looked at Gavil's handsome appearance, and all showed admiring expressions, following behind him with wagging tails.
Before long, Canghua and his group got closer and closer to the cave where the Lizardman leader was located. At this time, a gust of hot wind suddenly blew through the originally cold and damp cave, and a faint light appeared in the depths of the originally dark cavern.
Behind, Gavil and the four Lizardmen were stunned in place when they walked out of the passage. Not far in front of them, a lava lake with a diameter of a thousand meters was constantly churning, and the dazzling light illuminated the originally dark cavern. The dry, high-temperature environment made Gavil and the three lackeys, as Lizardmen, instinctively feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, hadn't they only left the underground cavern for a short time? How did a lava lake suddenly appear here?
“Canghua, what happened before.....”
The next second, Gavil raised his head and looked at Canghua not far in front of him, asking, wanting to find out what had happened after he left, but Canghua in front of him completely ignored his thoughts. Seeing this, Gavil at least followed.
“Master, we're back.”
Inside the cave where the Lizardman leader was, Canghua, who had just walked in, walked directly to the side of the throne in the shocked gazes of Gavil and the other four Lizardmen, and knelt down on one knee to a delicate and lovely human girl like a porcelain doll sitting on it.
“Is he Gavil?”
On the throne, Sally rested her chin on her hand, looking at Gavil, who had just walked in, with a disgusted expression. Her cute little face clearly showed a disgusted expression. Originally, she thought that Gavil, who had a name, would become half-human, half-dragon like Canghua, but he was no different from the other Lizardmen, simply ugly to the extreme.
“Who are you? Why are you sitting in the leader's position? Where is my father?”
Below, Gavil finally came back to his senses after hearing Sally's words. Then, in Canghua's desperate gaze, Gavil walked directly forward, pointed at Sally, and questioned her with an arrogant look, by the way, at this time, the three lackeys behind Gavil were cheering for Gavil with admiring expressions, constantly shouting that Lord Gavil was so handsome.
“Hmph!”
Gavil looked at Sally, who was already stunned by his questioning, on the throne, and heard the cheers of the three lackeys behind him, and proudly raised his head, covering his eyes, looking like he was exploding with handsomeness.
“Minghao, why haven't monsters like Lizardmen become extinct yet?”
On the throne, Sally blinked her big eyes, looked at Gavil in front of her, who was constantly changing into various poses that he thought were very handsome, turned her head, and looked at Lu Minghao, who was hugging her behind her with a faint smile on his face, and asked. Sally really couldn't understand why the Lizardman tribe, which was so weak and had a strange confidence that it was noble and powerful, hadn't become extinct yet?
“.....Probably because of the special circumstances here.”
At this time, Lu Minghao, who was hugging Sally, was also about to lose the smile on his face. Honestly, looking at Gavil in front of him, if Lu Minghao hadn't been prepared, he would have been reduced to ashes when Gavil struck the first pose.
“Special circumstances?”
“Yes, after all, before the Storm Dragon Veldora's aura disappeared, the entire Jura Forest was tacitly its territory, and other powerful beings generally wouldn't come here, which led to some monsters here being obviously weak, but inexplicably full of confidence.”
