Riding on a yacht, Yang Yu approached the scattered islands on the sea.
Some watchtowers built of stone or wood gradually appeared in the sight of Yang Yu and his companions.
The thorny lizard stands on the watchtower, patrolling the sea surface; under the sea surface, the poisonous fishmen take over the thorny lizard's place to patrol and protect the thorny lizard's underwater territory.
Sensing that Yang Yu and his group were approaching, the thorn-scaled lizard sentinels cast their gazes at them from afar, and the fish people also surfaced from the sea one after another.
The murlocs sprayed out jets of water, and the thorny-scaled lizards used water streams and gas to draw a pattern in the air that prohibited further passage.
Driving the yacht, Yang Yu slowly stopped in front of a watchtower.
The tall, slender thorn-scaled lizard on the sentry tower raised its voice and shouted to Yang Yu and the others, "People in front, listen to me.
If you continue forward, you will enter our territory.
Entering our territory without permission is tantamount to making an enemy of us.
If you have come here by mistake, please leave immediately."
Seeing that the thorn-scaled lizard's attitude was acceptable, Yang Yu walked from the cabin to the bow and shouted to the thorn-scaled lizard on the sentry tower across the sea:
"My friend from the Thorny Lizard Tribe, we have something important to discuss with you.
We have some injured spiny-scaled lizards that need tending."
The spiny-scaled lizard on the sentry post was skeptical until it saw a wounded tall spiny-scaled lizard leaning against the cabin from afar. Then the spiny-scaled lizard on guard quickly climbed down the sentry tower, swam across the sea, and came to the front of the yacht.
The spiny-scaled lizard beside the cabin limped to the railing and cast a sharp look into the sea with its one eye.
The lizard that swam over to the sea instantly stood up in the sea, looking very energetic:
"Good afternoon, Commander Chongdu. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. May I ask what you want me to do for you?"
The one-eyed thorn-scaled lizard growled, showing an expression that it didn't want to talk about something, and said:
“Mission failed”
"Failed?"
The thorny lizard sentinel was quite surprised. Even Commander Chongdu couldn't deal with it. What kind of mission was it
The one-eyed lizard clicked his tongue and said, “This matter and my return should be kept secret from the leader for the time being. He is probably still fighting everywhere, and I don’t want to affect his mood and cause him to fail.
I will tell him in person what I went through when I have finished all the things I need to do and the leader returns. "
The sentry replied in a resounding voice: "Got it."
The one-eyed spiny-scaled lizard glanced at Yang Yu and the others and introduced them to the sentinels: "These people are our benefactors.
At that time, we were almost wiped out, and thanks to him, we were able to escape.
To thank them, I decided to take them to a recently discovered underground maze to guide them through it.
This matter must also be kept secret from the leader."
"Got it!" The sentry answered again in a sonorous voice, then hesitated for a moment, "But Commander Chongdu, the leader said that the underground maze is too dangerous, and the ninth floor is full of traps. Ordinary people can't conquer it. Do you really want to lead them to conquer it?"
Just as the one-eyed spiny-scaled lizard was about to speak, Yang Yu took over the conversation.
"Don't worry. We are quite confident in our own strength.
Only if you are strong enough can you break out of the encirclement of those people and lead them back.
We originally came here for the underground maze, so we were fully prepared and thought we had it all figured out.
Don't worry, we had a good discussion on the boat and it's a pretty fair deal.
If we conquer that underground maze, we will give you 60% of the treasure, as protection money for conquering your territory."
The one-eyed spiny-scaled lizard echoed, “That’s right.
I had some complaints at first, but after hearing their distribution, I felt relieved.
The situation was so urgent that I had no choice.
Their strength is obvious to all.
Anyway, I have been unable to conquer the place and the treasure I have obtained is equivalent to zero, so I might as well let a professional do it.
I don't want to explain more, just do as I say.
Find a few people to take care of the surviving warriors. They have been cast into a sleeping spell that I have never seen before. It will take a few days for them to wake up. Let them recuperate here.
You know where the underground maze is, right
I need to rest well, so you will lead me to the underground maze.
Remember what I said.
The fact that I have failed must not be made public, and I will do my best to resolve it.
alright.
Ask someone to take in our surviving people.
Let me say it again, the sleeping magic on them is very special, remember not to release it in advance.
When everything is over, take me to the underground labyrinth quickly."
"Yes!" the sentry answered again in a strong and resounding voice.
The one-eyed spiny-scaled lizard looked exhausted as it limped back to the cabin, picked up a cup of pure green four-leaf clover juice and drank it all in one gulp.
Bai Jin used magic to carefully send the two survivors of the thorny-scaled lizards to the sentry post where the sentry was.
The sentry swam over and quickly confirmed that both of his fellow thorn-scaled lizards were still breathing.
Another thorny-scaled lizard named Sentinel and other fishmen took care of the two survivors. Sentinel swam into the sea again and guided Yang Yu and his friends on the sea surface to the underground maze that had not yet been fully conquered.
While traveling to the underground maze, Yang Yu and his team also attracted the attention of other thorny-scaled lizards.
However, Yang Yurang, who had become Chongdu, repeated his old tricks and pretended to be afraid of the leader and wanted to make up for his mistakes. He deceived the inspection of the thorny lizards again and again and came to the top of the newly discovered underground maze without any obstacles.
Everything went so smoothly that everyone on the ship felt something was amiss.
It went so smoothly, could it be that the thorny-scaled lizard had seen through them and wanted to lead them into the underground maze step by step and then catch them in the trap
The least worrying thing is He Meng becoming a loner.
He Meng felt that his acting skills had reached perfection under Yang Yu's guidance, and he handled the situation with ease, with absolutely no flaws.
In this regard, Yang Yu could only wave the four-leaf clover in front of He Meng's eyes to remind He Meng not to take it lightly.
The sentinel dived into the deep sea and explained the whole story to the thorny-scaled lizards guarding the underground maze. The person in charge of the thorny-scaled lizards guarding the underground maze surfaced to confirm the situation.
He Meng pretended to limp and fooled the censor again.
The person in charge said, "Well, sir, and everyone else please follow me."
Yang Yu and the others looked at each other, took out a small bottle, used their skills, summoned swimming bubbles, and jumped into the sea.
The bubbles slowly sank, and Yang Yu and his companions' vision was slowly covered by the clear sea water. The thorny lizard sentinels who came with them also dived down with them.
Under water, the thorny-scaled lizards' bodies are wrapped in bubbles, as if they were wearing a layer of white armor. Every time they breathe, a small inflated bubble will emerge above their heads.
