Chapter 452: Chapter 452 The Battle with the Totem Poisonous Lizard King

“By next spring, the Vine Snake Tribe must be eradicated!”

The Clan Leader of the Poison Lizard Tribe, with a string of beast teeth and a small skull hanging around his neck, picked up a bowl of blood-red wine and drank it all in one gulp. Then he tore off a large chunk of meat from an unrecognizable beast’s leg that was strung up over the fire pit in front of the three men, chewed a bite, tossed the bone aside, and sprawled out as a poisonous lizard with a row of sharp spikes on its green-scaled back crunched down on the beast bone with a crackle.

The Old Wizard picked up the blood-red wine, then took out a small pinch of something from the leather pouch on his body and threw it in. Upon closer inspection, it was a few small worms struggling in the blood wine for a while before they stopped moving. After gulping it down, the Old Wizard’s face quickly turned green and then red again, and a faint black air spurted out from his nostrils. All of a sudden, he looked ruddy and spirited.

“They have a new Guardian, a powerful creature the likes of which we’ve never seen.”

The Old Wizard’s eyes gleamed green as he spoke,

“I want to catch one to test my newest gu.”

The towering Warrior Leader picked up a chalice made from a human skull and drank it all in one go, buzzing,

“It shall be as you wish, my warriors and I will annihilate the Vine Snake Tribe.”

“That would be best!”

The Old Wizard grinned, revealing black and yellow teeth, and pulled out a hollow bone flute the length of a wrist from his pocket. A slippery, black tentacle emerged from one end of the flute, twisted in the air, and he handed it over to the Warrior, saying,

“When you see their Guardian, crush the bone flute and throw it away.”

The Warrior was about to take it when suddenly a great clamor came from outside, and it felt as though the outside had lit up a lot and the temperature was rising.

The three men quickly stood up and headed for the door, just in time to bump into a panic-stricken guard. They pushed past the guard and stepped outside, looking up to reveal a look of shock.

The Vault of Heaven was illuminated by rolling fire clouds, and a rain of fire fell from the sky, raining down on the entire tribe.

While the Poison Lizard Tribe was discussing when to attack the Vine Snake Tribe, the Vine Snake Tribe had launched a preemptive strike.

This time they left in full force, leaving only ten Supreme Nagas and twenty Star Spirits, along with all the people of the Crimson Furnace Clan at home. The rest, including the girlfriends and over two hundred Thunder Wings, were all mobilized, even he and his girlfriend had come.

Without any nonsense, the first wave was a Meteoric Fire Rain from the Mages that covered the entire tribe, without caring if it would start a forest fire.

The fully prepared army stayed outside the Poison Lizard Tribe, as many warriors from the Vine Snake Tribe stood with their mouths agape, looking at the rolling fire clouds in the Vault of Heaven and the descending rain of fire. By this time, the Poison Lizard Tribe was already submerged in a sea of fire.

Lightnings fell one after another, striking down some of the flying Fierce Beasts that had soared from within the Poison Lizard Tribe, all summoned by the Tribe’s Wizards, some with physical bodies and others with spirit animals.

After many battles, they had come to understand the tactics of these tribes very well and had ways to counter them.

When the Poison Lizard Tribe had finally gathered their panicked warriors ready to rush out of the tribe to counter-attack, they were met by the Vine Snake Tribe and the mixed forces of the Supreme Nagas who had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Xiao and Shen Yuexin stood in the air, not paying too close attention to the battle below, but gazing towards a lushly vegetated small mountain range behind the Poison Lizard Tribe, a canyon within it. In his senses, there was a very powerful aura there—if he wasn’t mistaken, it should be where the totem of the Poison Lizard Tribe was hidden.

Inside the Poison Lizard Tribe, the Old Wizard led a group of Wizards to a giant Totem Pillar entwined with a giant lizard in the center of the tribe. They offered rich sacrifices, and the heads of beasts were cut off one by one, fresh blood poured into the grooves on the stone slabs in front of the Totem Pillar. The blood quickly ran along the grooves, converged to the center, and was then attracted by an invisible force up along the Totem Pillar, rapidly sketching out the form of a giant lizard.

Accompanied by a dizzying roar, black air rose from the canyon, constrained by an invisible force into a pillar shooting up to the sky; a huge figure then burst from the valley, leaping hundreds of meters to land on a boulder.

It was a giant lizard with two tails, measuring over eighty meters from head to tail, resembling the Dragon Clan to some extent, yet less noble and more hideous.

Covered in large hard scales, with ugly bumps all over them, its back boasted a row of black spikes that extended from the head to the tail, enveloped in wisps of black flames that formed a line of black fire extending from the head to the tail, fluctuating back and forth with the rise and fall of its body.

Underneath it was a circle of gray Aura that kept rippling outwards, the dead leaves and weeds on the ground wilting rapidly into ash when swept by the gray Aura.

Although this creature looked ferocious, it possessed no small intelligence. Its gaze swept across the battlefield and quickly locked onto Lin Xiao and Shen Yuexin. An hoarse voice appeared out of thin air:

“You dare provoke Balor, the king of the poisonous lizards.”

“Balor, the king of the poisonous lizards? It even has its own name!”

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised and examined the creature closely, shouting loudly,

“In the name of the Guardian of the Vine Snake Tribe, annihilate the Poison Lizard Tribe!”

His words amounted to a declaration of war, as Balor, king of the poisonous lizards, spewed forth a thick black mist that corrupted the nearby vegetation and screeched,

“You’re courting death!”

The thick lizard tail smashed the ground stones into smithereens, leaping violently toward Lin Xiao, barreling through and knocking down tall trees as easily as if they were wheat in a field.

Lin Xiao twisted his neck and said to his girlfriend:

“Cover me, I’ll take him on!”

Having said that, he leaped into the air, and a golden light exploded. His figure quickly expanded, swiftly transforming into a colossal Incarnation of the Supreme Naga Asura that was one hundred and twenty meters from head to tail, and thunderously landed, the surging air waves blowing all the debris and fallen leaves around him out of sight.

A dazzling circle of rainbow auras spread out as he stood, both beautiful and fraught with danger.

This was a phenomenon caused by the extreme compression of the Void due to his terrifying physical form, which appears only when the physique reaches a certain level.

This phenomenon made the King of the Poisonous Lizards, who was in full charge, stop in its tracks, its huge pupils flickering with doubt as it looked at Lin Xiao, who was even larger, a hint of hesitation appearing in its eyes.

But Lin Xiao didn’t give it a chance to hesitate. His massive golden wings slammed once, and he rose into the sky, diving like a meteor toward the King of the Poisonous Lizards.

The King of the Poisonous Lizards screamed and opened its densely fanged mouth to spit out a thick burst of dark energy, while its body quickly twisted and moved a hundred meters sideways, mouth brewing a mass of foul-smelling poison, large as a house, churning in its mouth, as emerald-colored venom dripped through gaps in its teeth onto the ground, instantly corroding small holes in the land.

“Oh no!”

Lin Xiao laughed strangely, chanting several syllables as his enormous figure disappeared in a flash of gold light to reappear not far behind the King of the Poisonous Lizards, plummeting down like a meteor:

“Chaos Roar!”

Powered by the body of a Demigod and the skills of a Heroic Warrior, the might of the skill struck the unsuspecting King of the Poisonous Lizards. In an instant, it was as if a spark had struck the earth, a chaotic shockwave exploded from the point of impact, rapidly spreading out hundreds of meters, forming a substantial dark gold aura ring on the ground’s surface.

Chaos Roar (Ancient): Violently shakes the ground, dealing massive physical and explosive damage to enemies within a 15 meters + X radius of oneself, stunning for 2 + X seconds, slowing down for 5 + X seconds after the stun, leaving behind a Chaos Field at the original location that lasts for 30 + X seconds. Available three times a day.

Note 1: The power and effect of the skill are related to one’s personal strength; the stronger one is, the more powerful and effective the skill.

Note 2: Within the Chaos Field, one will gain strong physical and magical resistance, as well as powerful regenerative abilities. Attacks will have a significantly higher hit rate, allies will receive half the effect, and it will weaken the enemy’s defense and resistance.

The Demigod’s power along with the Heroic Warrior’s skills meant that even the King of the Poisonous Lizards’ Totemic form could not escape the various effects of the skills and was instantly stunned, the mass of poison in its mouth crushed and squirted out, turning a large area of rocky soil into meters deep pits from its corrosive effect.

Within the dark gold Chaos Field of the Chaos Roar, Lin Xiao’s enormous figure was covered with a layer of dark golden film, his huge dragon arm raised into a fist, and he landed a massive golden punch on the King of the Poisonous Lizards’ head.

“Boom!”

Dust exploded, and the huge head of the Poisonous Lizard was smashed directly into the earth, deeply embedded more than ten meters underground.

Then, he grabbed the King of the Poisonous Lizards, flipping it over, and stomped down with a lifted foot, his huge claws holding the creature’s mouth open. As he opened his own mouth, a ball of golden flame brewed deep in his throat, growing increasingly bright.

The imminent threat awakened the unconscious King of the Poisonous Lizards, whose eyes flew open in terror at this sight, struggling frantically, but completely unable to break free under his absolute strength advantage. It watched helplessly as the golden Dragon Breath already overflowed from the mouth.

Meanwhile, not far from the chaotic battlefield, the Old Wizard, seeing his totem at a disadvantage, roughly pulled a small poisonous lizard that glowed with a green light from his shoulder, chewed it up, and with a Crystal Skull Head in his mouth, chanted with closed eyes. After a while, his body burst into green flames, and with a fierce opening of his green-flaming eyes, he pointed at the Chief of the Poisonous Lizard Tribe nearby.

In an instant, the flames on his body vanished, and he fainted and collapsed.

Then, the Chief of the Poisonous Lizard Tribe, upon whom he pointed, saw his activated totem suddenly burn with raging green flames. He raised his head with a painful scream as his body rapidly merged with the totem, transforming into a gigantic Poisonous Lizard that leapt violently, colliding with Lin Xiao’s Asura Naga Incarnation.

“Boom!”

This forty to fifty-meter Giant Lizard slammed into Lin Xiao’s head, causing it to jerk sideways sharply. The condensed golden breath grazed by the King of the Poisonous Lizards’ mouth and pierced straight through half of its face, continuing on to melt through its body and into the ground as Lin Xiao raised his head, creating a gigantic trench tens of meters deep that extended for thousands of meters.

“How fierce!”

The sight of her boyfriend’s ferocious blow made Shen Yuexin’s eyes sparkle with starlight, as she gained a new appreciation for his strength.

The King of the Poisonous Lizards narrowly escaped with its life, taking advantage of Lin Xiao’s momentary weakness due to the high energy consumption of his attack to break free and flee without looking back.

This scene left the Chief of the Poisonous Lizard Tribe, who was hoping to rescue its totem for a counterattack, dumbfounded. He looked up to see the golden flaming eyes filled with wrath, and with a sweep from the sky, a massive claw accurately pinned the fleeing Giant Lizard, “boom” – crushing a vast amount of rocks and forcibly embedding the Giant Lizard into the ground.
