Chapter 32 - Night ambush

Faced with the elders' gaze, the white Lizardman opened its lizard mouth.

A gentle voice immediately filled the room.

"Elder Aaron, send someone to warn the Gray Scale tribe and the Black Scale tribe immediately. Tell them that if necessary, the White Scale tribe hopes to receive their help. In this swamp, all Lizardmen are one, and only by standing together can we survive."

Elder Aaron nodded.

No one knew what the future held.

But being prepared was never a mistake.

Meanwhile, on the other side, deep within the swamp.

Under the moonlight, the overgrown swamp was covered with a layer of silver gauze.

In a certain knee-deep water area, a mass of dark figures was wading through the water.

The figures spread across a large area of the swamp under the moonlight.

The sound of water splashing echoed through the night sky.

The water surface surged, forming ripples.

Goblins were adept swimmers and could move freely even in the swamp.

The commotion caused the swamp crabs living in the swamp to leave their water holes and flee in panic.

Their speed was so fast that only a ripple was left on the water surface.

In the distant waters, the heads of swamp crocodiles, nearly five meters long, emerged.

The noise of the Goblins wading through the water caught their attention.

But the commotion was too great, and the number of prey was too many, making them hesitant to approach.

"It's the swamp crocodiles!"

The nearby swamp crocodiles also made the Goblins a bit nervous.

Swamp crocodiles were second-tier magical beasts, invincible in the water.

They usually lived in swamp areas and rivers.

On normal days, getting close to the water's edge could lead to an attack by swamp crocodiles.

In the past, Goblins fetching water by the river were often attacked by swamp crocodiles.

The legendary swamp crocodile king was a fifth-tier magical beast with magical powers.

"What are we afraid of? We have crossbows and long spears!"

"Yeah, yeah, if the swamp crocodiles dare to come close, we'll stab them to death and shoot them dead."

Thinking of the weapons in their hands, the Goblins were no longer afraid.

Their gazes towards the swamp crocodiles became greedy.

"Swamp crocodile meat is delicious. Let's go hunting."

"No way, tonight the Lizardmen are our main course!"

"If we fall behind, the boss will be angry."

"Exactly, exactly, we can't fall behind!"

Among the Goblins wading through the water, Li Meng was also present.

Glancing sideways, Li Meng looked at the waters not far to the right.

More and more swamp crocodiles were gathering in the waters near the Goblin army.

If any Goblin fell behind, they would become their food.

[Swamp Crocodile]

[Level: 32]

[Strength: 71]

[Defense: 88]

[Agility: 68]

[Magic: 11]

The level was high, and the attributes were high too.

But magical beasts were still just beasts, unlike humans who could learn magical skills.

Without the blessing of magical skills, they were just stronger animals.

This was a shallow water area; if the swamp crocodiles really charged, it was uncertain who would win.

Compared to the Goblins struggling to move forward, Benben seemed much more at ease.

Although this was a swamp, the ground beneath the water plants wasn't all mud.

Li Meng was walking ahead to scout the path for Benben.

Otherwise, he would have been sitting on Benben's shoulder long ago.

Benben also noticed the swamp crocodiles not far away.

It opened its mouth, saying something like "oh woo oh woo."

Its left hand pointed at the swamp crocodiles not far away.

Hearing Benben's voice from behind, Li Meng turned back with a grin.

Seeing Benben's expression, Li Meng knew it must be talking about something related to food.

Li Meng shook his head and pointed towards the darkness ahead.

Benben could only look regretfully at the swamp crocodiles before continuing to follow the leader.

Three hours later, at the White Scale tribe.

The night was deep, and the tribe behind the wooden walls was silent.

Even the Lizardman warriors standing guard on the wooden walls were dozing off.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

On a section of the wooden wall in the south of the tribe.

A dozing Lizardman suddenly woke up.

It rubbed its eyes and scanned the swamp outside the gate.

It patted its sleepy companion beside it.

The awakened companion yawned.

"It's probably the swamp crabs; those things love digging holes by the water."

The Lizardman warrior scanned the outside waters again.

In the moonlight, there were only chaotic water plants and rippling water.

"When did that mound appear over there?"

Suddenly, the Lizardman warrior's gaze fixed on a massive shadow.

The mound wasn't far from the shore.

It was only about fifty meters from the wooden wall.

Because it was too far, the Lizardman warrior couldn't see what it was.

"Let me see, huh, that wasn't there before."

The Lizardman warriors on the wooden wall looked at each other.

They had been standing guard here for so long, they knew the swamp terrain outside like the back of their hand.

They were sure that shadow wasn't there before.

"Could it be a swamp crocodile?"

"Impossible, even if a swamp crocodile stood up, it wouldn't be that big."

"This is strange, a big rock couldn't have fallen from the sky."

"Maybe it's a pile of water plants that drifted over from somewhere else."

"Whatever, when daylight comes... whoosh!"

At that moment, a sudden change occurred in the night sky.

A whistling sound was heard, and streaks of black light flashed under the moonlight.

The Lizardman warriors observing the swamp outside the gate suddenly froze.

Both of their heads were precisely hit by crossbow bolts.

Their strong bodies fell one after another, dropping from the wall to the inner side.

In the moonlight outside, countless figures emerged from the water plants.

"Benben, go!"

A loud shout echoed.

The shadow in the water suddenly moved.

Benben stood up, taking giant strides towards the wooden wall.

"Kill, kill!"

"Meat, meat!"

The Goblins in the darkness shouted loudly.

They charged towards the shore alongside Benben's towering figure.

Crossbowmen continuously shot at the Lizardmen standing guard on the wooden wall.

"What happened?"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The commotion in the darkness outside startled the Lizardman warriors on the wooden wall.

But they quickly realized what was happening.

For a moment, the Lizardman warriors on the wooden wall hurriedly shouted warnings.

The shouts of the Lizardman warriors on the wooden wall caught the attention of the Lizardmen in the tribe.

The tribe instantly became noisy, with a large number of Lizardmen rushing out of their thatched huts with machetes.

"To the south, the southern wooden wall is under attack!"

The Lizardman warriors who ran out of the thatched huts rushed towards the southern wooden wall.

At this time, outside the southern wooden wall.

Benben had already reached the shore, its massive body charging towards the wooden wall.

"What is that? It's huge!"

The wooden wall of the Lizardman tribe was only five meters high.

It was mainly to prevent swamp crabs and swamp crocodiles from entering the tribe.

But Benben's height was almost level with the wooden wall.

In the eyes of the Lizardmen, Benben seemed like a giant.

"It's... it's an Ogre!"

A Lizardman warrior recognized Benben and exclaimed in shock.

Benben, like a mountain, charged towards the wooden wall.

Its massive body slammed into the wooden wall with a shoulder bash.
