Suddenly, Chala felt warm. A beam of light passed through him and turned to his injured fellows. Their wounds were quickly healed up and their status recovered.
As Little Ye Tian activated the light elemental area healing spell, numerous light pearls floated in the surroundings. They were then sent into the lizard men’s bodies. Those who were heavily injured immediately recovered and continued to fight on. Gratefully, Chala looked at Little Ye Tian who was riding on a bug. “La shi ya, Losha! (Thank you, humans!)”
Their involvement in the battle immediately turned the situation around, especially Ye Cang’s and Little Ye Tian’s. After having AV recovering their energy, the lizard men returned back to the battlefield. Holding the water spear, Ye Cang turned into a fishman shaman, becoming a temporary support. Waves of water stirred in Ye Cang’s hand as he activated the Water Source Tortem. Compared to Little Ye Tian’s light elemental heal, Ye Cang’s water element seemed to be more effective in terms of recovery. It was also because Ye Cang’s spell power was very high. As the Healing Tide rushed out, the lizard men felt even more energetic in the waves. They then attacked with all their might like warriors stepping over waves.
The battle had then come to an end. Ye Cang successfully looted one worm man corpse. Everyone was sighing and Wu Na was stomping her foot. Luckily they were able to get three dark gold items. A high strength ring was given to Lin Le, high dexterity necklace was given to SpyingBlade and a shield was left. Little Ye Tian kept it in her cart for resale.
Seeing that Ye Cang and the others had settled their things, the lizard man chief rushed over and started to speak a language which they did not understand, except for Ye Cang. Ye Cang waved his hand and took off his wolf head hood, letting it rest on his shoulders. He then smiled faintly. “There’s no need for thanks, Chief Ansa. We’re explorers who just so happened to pass by.”
Knowing Ye Cang could speak draconic fluently, Ansa was getting more curious about them and more grateful for their assistance. “Please come to our tribe and let me treat you all to a meal.”
Since they were searching for a place to rest, Ye Cang did not reject the invitation. Maybe they could get some information from them. “Then, we’ll accept your invitation, Chief Ansa.”
Along the way, Ansa briefed Ye Cang in detail about what happened in the marsh. The worm men which they faced just now were scary beings in this place and their main base was at the far east side. However, no one had ever been there. In the center of the marsh, it was the lizard man’s assembly point. It was also a place where most of the tribe would assemble at a certain time period. They would then return to their respective homes after that. On the further south, it was a place where most of them did not dare to go to. It was known as the dead marsh. Many deadly living creatures lived there, including the nine-headed monster. As for the west, near to the sea, it was not that dangerous as most of the lizard man tribe lived there. Among them, they trade with a certain currency called Endoss Special Rock Coin.
“Since there are seldom human travelers coming to the marsh, your smell will easily attract the helminths attacks. But you have the worm man’s breath, I bet it covers your smell. If not, coming so far would be difficult and dangerous. Here we are. Welcome to the Keane tribe.” Ansa led the team to the swamp pond. There were many simple wooden houses surrounding it. The houses were simple until an extent which they looked like dens instead of houses. Hundreds of lizard men, young and old, came to welcome them, curious about Ye Cang and the others.
Seeing the chief and the others coming home safely, the villages cheered loudly. Chala explained Ye Cang’s and the others background and told the villagers that it was they who saved the chief and the others.
“Congratulations your reputation in the Keane tribe has reached respected.” The system message popped up.
Using the draconic, Ye Cang greeted the lizard men who came to welcome them. With Ansa’s lead, they then arrived at his big wooden house.
“Once again, I express my gratitude for your help. I have nothing that I can offer to you guys so if there’s anything that I can help you out with, please do let me know.” Ansa gradually sat and asked them to sit too. He then signaled his men to serve the food. What came to Ye Cang’s surprise was that there was wine in the house. “You guys brew wine too?’
“Besides, in the swamp, there lives another dangerous creature, Geisel. It roams around the entire Endless Swamp. However, there’s nothing to be afraid of as it won’t simply attack the travelers or tribes. If you happen to see it, don’t panic and don’t bother it. Just walk around it.” Ansa took a sip of the wine and seemed to enjoy it. It was true that he loved wine a lot.
“Geisel?” Ye Cang asked.
“No one knows what kind of creatures it is or how long it has lived for. We only know that it is enormous in size as if it was a moving mountain. Its skin is as hard as steel. Looking at it, you will feel that it can crush you easily into meat pound.” Ansa smiled bitterly.
