Chapter 327 - 202: The Timid Lizardmen

...

...

"I just talked with that Snow Rabbit, Kael, for a bit. He told me about the rules of the human towns."

The tall Mountain Cat, Lai Te, whispered to Nessa and Sarika, "People with value and ability will get more."

"So we must prove our abilities to the humans."

Lai Te’s eyes were determined.

Nessa and Sarika nodded, understanding why Lai Te took the risk to follow.

Kael, with Rein’s permission, turned to Lai Te and the other Mountain Cats and said, "Lord Rein permits your participation."

"He has heard that you Mountain Cats excel in concealment, even more agile in the forest than us Snow Rabbits, so he hopes you can act as bait."

"No problem!"

Lai Te responded confidently.

As the leader’s wife, with Vika absent, Nessa was supposed to be in charge.

But her nature was more reserved and shy, so Lai Te took the initiative to shoulder everything.

"What weapons do you need?" Kael asked.

Lai Te replied without hesitation, "Daggers will do!"

Kael reported Lai Te’s response to Rein and received seven daggers.

"They’re not used to using short swords, only daggers."

Kael said, "But they should be more useful than those rusty scraps in your hands."

Having stayed in Frost Leaf Town for a long time, Kael began to feel a sense of superiority in front of the Alien Race Tribe as well.

"Alright!"

Lai Te had the clansmen step forward to take the daggers.

"Tell your human leader that we’ll lure the Lizardmen here and have them ready for the ambush!"

"Yes, exactly."

Kael nodded, pulling out a map.

He briefly explained Rein and Gang Le’s plan, marked the approximate location, and then Lai Te led seven clansmen rushing into the forest.

"Huh?"

Gang Le stared at the figure of the Mountain Cats, "I didn’t even blink, how did they disappear into the forest just like that?"

"That’s their gift. As long as there’s something to block the view, they can conceal themselves with it."

Kael said with a bit of envy.

Gang Le picked up a fist-sized rock from the ground, "Then could this also block the view? Can they hide with this?"

Rein sighed, a bit speechless.

Kael seriously shook his head, "Even their ancestors from the Ancient Times couldn’t become invisible using a stone, but if they’re far enough away, they can directly merge into the earth, making them invisible to you."

"Ancestors again."

Gang Le was a bit incredulous; the ancestors spoken of by the Aliens and Wildmen were always incredibly powerful.

"What abilities did your ancestors have?"

"The most powerful ancestor could split a mountain in half with a single lift of their claw."

Kael said with full admiration.

Gang Le pursed his lips, just about to speak when Rein stopped him.

"Alright, Lord Gang Le, we should get down to business."

...

...

Nessa leapt down from a branch, her petite figure bumping into a searching Lizardman.

Nessa froze in place, and the Lizardman suddenly reacted,

"It’s a Mountain Cat!"

A Lizardman shouted, and the Long Spear in his hand shot directly at Nessa!

Nessa agilely jumped behind a tree, narrowly avoiding the incoming Long Spear.

"Help!"

Nessa was full of terror, turning to run!

"Don’t let her go back and report!"

The Scar Lizardman shouted fiercely, and all the Lizardmen boiled, surging towards Nessa like a tide.

But just then, Sarika emerged from the right side.

He peeked his head out from behind a big tree and whistled a few times.

Very soon, other Lizardmen noticed him too.

"Another one!"

"Chase, don’t let him get away!"

The gathered Lizardman squad instantly split up, chasing after Sarika.

"There’s one here too!"

"Look, there’s another!"

The Scar Lizardman roared orders.

"Chase them! Don’t let any escape!"

In the blink of an eye, six to seven Mountain Cats appeared front and back, and all the Scar Lizardman’s subordinates rushed out, leaving only a dozen behind.

"Leader, which one should we chase?" The Scar Lizardman’s deputy hurriedly asked.

"We..."

The Scar Lizardman hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized, his vertical pupils widened,

"No, they’re scattering us!"

"Quick, call them back!"

The Scar Lizardman roared orders, but before the subordinates could act, screams echoed from the distant forest!

The Scar Lizardman quickly turned to look; it was the southwest direction where the first Mountain Cat had fled!

"Quick, follow me!"

The Scar Lizardman led his men rushing forward!

But before taking more than two steps, shouts of battle echoed from the southeast direction!

The Scar Lizardman immediately stopped, frowning,

"Something’s not right!"

At this moment, a squad of more than a dozen Lizardmen ran back,

"Leader, we lost them!"

The Lizardman squad captain anxiously reported.

This time, the Scar Lizardman was more convinced that the enemy was scattering his squad, but the problem was he didn’t know what to do now!

As the Scar Lizardman hesitated, shouts of battle emerged again from the southern forest ahead!

...

...

Lai Te pressed his feet down hard, leaping up onto a branch, looking back towards the forest behind him.

Eleven Lizardmen emerged in succession from the forest, looking around for Lai Te’s figure, but without any direction at all.

Until they saw the shallow footprints on the ground.

"Truly a bunch of foolish Lizardmen."

Lai Te grabbed some snow and made a snowball, throwing it with a loud "smack" at a Lizardman’s head.

"Hey, I’m here, fools."

Lai Te taunted, and this provocation completely enraged the pursuers.

The leading Lizardman roared in anger, lifting his Long Spear and throwing it!

Lai Te used his foot strength again, jumping directly to another branch, dodging the Long Spear’s attack.
