Chapter 201: Fluorescent Mushrooms, Lizardman Kingdom
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The lizardn quickly discovered their unexpected guests, each of them holding weapons and being on alert.
But it was easy to see the surprise in their eyes.
What were these strange creatures that looked completely different from them? How co they had no scales? No claws? Why was their skin so pale?
Moreover, where did they co from?
Countless questions crossed their minds.
Just as the lizardn were in a state of confusion, they heard the leader of the biped creatures speak.
“Hello, we are not enemies, but co with friendship.”
Heavens!
They could understand the words spoken by these biped creatures!
Could they be a new lizardman tribe born in another cave?
For a mont, the lizardn started chattering, gesturing, and pointing at them from ti to ti.
Seeing their reactions, Ji Chen furrowed his brows.
Were these lizardn afflicted with so illness?
Fortunately, a lizardman clad in armor stepped forward, approaching them and said, “Greetings, strangers. On behalf of the Dork Kingdom, I welco you.”
Although they hadn’t figured out what these creatures were and where they ca from, judging from their language and attire, they appeared to be an intelligent race capable of communication.
Not like magma golems whose minds were solely focused on eating and excreting.
Moreover, they were exuding a friendly vibe, unlike the other lizardman tribes that were fond of killing.
The way they were dressed was quite magnificent, and their army’s equipnt was of high quality, making them the most formidable army Ji Chen had ever seen.
Even if they weren’t nobles, they were akin to knights.
Hearing the lizardman in armor ntioning the so-called Dork Kingdom, Ji Chen almost burst out laughing.
Could this minuscule place, whose exact numbers were unknown but definitely not too many, possibly form a kingdom?
Though he felt like laughing, Ji Chen’s emotional control was quite strong, and he easily maintained his composure.
Compared to other lizardn, the one who spoke carried a fine steel long spear and wore a full set of armor, even a helt covering their head.
On the other hand, the other lizardn held iron spears and wore rough clothes with iron pieces attached, displaying significantly simpler equipnt. So of them even wore nothing more than tattered fiber clothes.
Clearly, this underground lizardman civilization had evolved into a system with class distinctions.
Judging by the dieval level of civilization in this world, the lizardman in armor should be the so-called knights, while the ones wearing iron pieces were their attendants or sothing similar. As for those in rags, they would be peasants or slaves.
Putting aside his thoughts, Ji Chen smiled and responded, “I am Ji Chen, the Lord of the Crown of the Ocean, also known as Ocean Crown, hailing from the surface.”
The Crown of the Ocean? The surface?
The armored lizardman felt sowhat puzzled.
What was the Ocean? Was it the na of so magma sea?
And the surface… Could it refer to so cave located above?
“I’m sorry, Lord Ji Chen, but I have a question. Where is the surface?”
Hearing this, Ji Chen furrowed his brow, suspecting sothing.
Could it be that these lizardn were unaware of the existence of the surface? Did they think this underground cave was the entire world?
Now, this was getting interesting.
“The surface refers to the world above, a vast expanse billions of tis larger than this place,” Ji Chen explained. “It’s a place with white clouds, sunlight, oceans, islands, land, mountains, and countless races and creatures.”
“Due to a powerful upheaval, a connecting passage appeared between the surface and this underground world, which is how we arrived here.”
As these words were spoken, all the lizardn were left dumbfounded.
Their first thought was: How is this possible!?
Could this Lord Ji Chen be joking?
It was probably similar to the reaction of Native Aricans from the Aricas when they first learned from European colonists that beyond their land, there existed a much broader world.
Seeing the vastly different Naga Berserkers, Dragon Blood Murlocs, floating sea pixies, and Alice’s group, the armored lizardman felt that what Lord Ji Chen said was unlikely to be false.
They began to question their existence.
These few sentences acted like heavy hamrs, shattering their worldview.
“Your Excellency, I cannot determine the truth of your words, but this matter is of great importance. I must report it to the elders of the tribe to have them decide,” the armored lizardman stated.
“Please do so. But also, please introduce to your elders. 1 have so matters to ‘discuss’ with them,” Ji Chen replied with a smile.
“Very well. I will convey your request. Please wait here.” The armored lizardman nodded, gesturing for the other lizardn to stay behind.
Then, he hurriedly ran towards a distant passage accompanied by a few lizardman attendants.
However, this trip took a full six hours.
This indicated that the activity range of this lizardman civilization was quite vast. The area they were in might belong to the “border region”, and reaching the core region from here would also take a considerable amount of ti.
Ji Chen didn’t feel much apart from boredom, as there was no concept of day and night underground.
Perhaps due to the glow emitted by the plants, it was dayti here all the ti.
By the ti they returned, instead of just a few lizardn, there was now a hundred-strong escort of lizardn accompanying the armored lizardman..
