Chapter 339 It was obviously me first

Although it is summer in the Big Tree Sea, the rain will still take away too much body temperature, which is an especially difficult season for cold-blooded animals like lizardmen.

In normal times, lizardmen have to warm themselves by fire every day and ensure that they consume enough nutrients, otherwise they will die due to hypothermia.

In fact, every year in the Lizardman tribe, some people die due to carbon monoxide poisoning caused by roasting in the fire or lack of food.

Although Ofen is the strongest lizard-man in the tribe, he is still a lizard-man, and he cannot resist the power of nature.

The rain took away too much of his body temperature, and a lot of his physical strength was consumed in order to maintain his body temperature.

But Ofen can't leave. Behind him are the lives of nearly a thousand lizardmen from three tribes. He is burdened with hope and responsibility, so even if he kneels to death in the rainstorm, he must not move a step. He must let His Majesty the Demon King see him.

Be sincere and pray for his mercy. Only the mercy of His Majesty the Demon King can save the lizard people.

The heavy rain is still falling mercilessly. The lightning flashing across the sky and the roaring thunder are the key to Orphen's ability to maintain consciousness. Whenever his consciousness gradually sinks, he will be awakened by the thunder.

But this kind of reminder may not last long. The heavy rain in the sea of ​​trees sometimes lasts for several days, only clears up for ten minutes, and then continues to rain.

Ofen wouldn't survive the next day.

When the thunder failed to work, his consciousness became blurred, and he vaguely seemed to see the maid standing in front of him.

The fishman told him that this maid who looked very much like a human was actually a machine made of magic and miracles, and was also a messenger of His Majesty the Demon King.

But precisely because it is a machine, no matter how Orphen pleads, the maid golem will not blink and will not take any substantive action until it receives an order.

But this time, amid the roaring thunder, Ofen heard the faint voice of the maid golem:

"Come with me, His Majesty wants to see you."

This sentence seemed to be clearer than the rolling thunder. Ofen raised his head blankly, and for a time he wondered if he was hallucinating.

Until he saw the maid golem turned around after conveying the message and made a gesture to him to follow.

Not a dream!

The weak body seemed to have gained a little more strength out of thin air. Ofen held on to his sore and numb legs, which seemed to have been bent by the weight of the rain, and he crawled on the ground awkwardly.

Embarrassed? That kind of thing doesn't matter to the lizard people.

As long as we can save the tribe, we will crawl to His Majesty the Demon King's throne even if we crawl on our chin.

Intelligent creatures have one characteristic, belief.

Her body, which was almost unable to hold up, regained its vitality in the huge ecstasy. Orphen stood up straight and followed the maid golem, walking step by step towards the Demon King's Castle.

The distance from the Meteor Lake to the Demon King's City is not as simple as visiting a door. It requires passing through a dense forest, obstacles composed of bushes and vines, which made Ofen almost roll and crawl behind the maid golem.

.

Finally, we came to a stone wall.

It is backed by the highest mountains, and the towering peaks are covered with snow.

But here, we didn’t see any Demon King’s Castle.

Even during the period of the tyrannical demon king, the lizardmen never came to the demon king's city. They only regarded the tyrannical demon king as a leader worthy of respect, not their own monarch.

Disappointment enveloped Ofen's consciousness for a moment, and his body seemed to be a little unsteady.

Then he saw that the stone wall rippled like water, revealing a luxurious double door. When the maid golem stood underneath, the door opened silently.

The maid golem won't explain anything. The order it received is just to lead the way. Whether Ofen can go or not has nothing to do with it.

So when the maid golem entered, Ofen was stunned for a moment before quickly following him.

In the dark corridor, sapphire blue torches were burning, but they didn't feel the slightest temperature. Everything was extremely cold.

However, being able to escape the rain was already a good thing for Ofen. In the joy of meeting the devil, his pace became faster and faster.

Everything in the Demon King's City was unheard of and unseen to the lizard people, but Ofen did not dare to turn his eyes to the left or right for fear of causing any displeasure, so he always kept his eyes fixed on his feet and directly in front of him.

The maid golem took him to the throne room. As the door slowly opened, Ofen saw magic torches burning brightly on both sides of the huge black marble hall.

But the light did not illuminate the entire space. Instead, it reflected large and terrifying shadows. There seemed to be some horror hiding in the tiny darkness. If Ofen made the slightest move, he would be completely torn apart.

The wet feet stepped on the scarlet carpet, and the rainwater dripped from the scales. Every step Ofen took would leave clear dirty footprints.

This made him very nervous, worried that it would cause the devil's displeasure.

In the deathly silence, Ofen saw two rows of maid golems standing on both sides of the red carpet. Their faces were expressionless, more like simple sculptures.

The maid who led him into the Demon King's City arrived here and consciously returned to the end of the queue. Ofen continued to take a few steps forward. Maybe it was because his body really couldn't support it anymore, or maybe it was the worries and responsibilities that overwhelmed him. Ofen

With an ordinary sound, he knelt on the red carpet in a posture of prostrating himself on the ground.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a woman with slender horns on her head, and a demon king sitting on a gorgeous throne next to her.

His whole body was shrouded in flame-like shadows, and Ofen couldn't even tell what race he was.

But even just sitting there relaxedly, Ofen felt as if he was being pressed down by a mountain.

His mind was stuck for a moment, and the biological instincts screamed in his head, but his body was unable to respond as small as trembling and trembling. The many lines of prayer he had originally thought about all disappeared in this moment.

At that moment, he understood.

That is the devil, and it can only be the devil.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

His dry throat finally squeezed out a sound, and Ofen knelt on the ground and prayed:

"The lizard people need your mercy, please..."

"It's not time for you to speak."

Ofen's words were interrupted by Ravna. He did not dare to have any dissatisfaction and could only kneel there.

Silence fell at this moment. Although the silence was broken after more than ten seconds, these ten seconds were the most difficult time in Ofen's life.

It was not the Demon King or Ravna who broke the silence, but the footsteps coming from behind Orphen.

Behind him, another maid golem brought a short halfling. Like Orfin, the maid golem returned to the queue, and the halfling knelt down beside Orfin.

"It's a great honor to meet His Majesty the Demon King in person."

Orphen saw that the Demon King raised his left hand slightly, and Ravna, who was standing on the left side of the throne, said:

"His Majesty the Demon King allows you to reveal your prototype."

This was said to the halfling, who immediately responded:

"I will obey your will."

The next moment, the halfling's body split open from the middle, like a watermelon being smashed. Orphen heard a sound that sounded like the carapace was being twisted. In the blink of an eye, the halfling turned into a big spider.

The color that once belonged to the halfling's clothes is slowly receding from the brown carapace. Its face can still barely look like a halfling, but it feels more like the halfling's face has been split into several pieces and then attached to it.

on the spider's head.

Orphen remained silent. Even if he knew that the Demon King would gain the allegiance of the monster, this scene was indeed too terrifying before his eyes.

"Deformed spider? Very good."

Orphen heard the Demon King's voice, which was like a terrible noise made by two metal plates rubbing against each other. Although the sound was not loud, it could easily echo throughout the entire huge throne room.

Shapeshifting spiders are a unique type of spider. They are fast and cunning. Because they can turn themselves into halflings and gnomes, small creatures like them often disguise themselves as adventurers in distress and seek help from other adventurers.

Since adventurers have a tacit understanding of helping each other similar to that between ships, the shape-shifting spider's tricks often work.

In terms of frontal combat effectiveness, he is not very high, only about level 15~25, but he is indeed a master of disguise, and he is exactly the talent Pei Renli desperately needs.

That's why Orphen heard the devil say "very good".

Now that Perrenli was satisfied, Ravna continued to the next step:

"Tell me why you're here."

"Your Majesty, on behalf of myself and my tribe, I only ask for your protection."

Shapeshifting Spider says:

"We originally lived with the fishmen in the water body on the west side of the Big Tree Sea. We were also driven out of our homes by humans and could only wander in the Big Tree Sea, but we cannot survive in the Big Tree Sea."

The shape-shifting spiders are fine on the periphery of the big tree sea, but in the center of the big tree sea, there are monsters more powerful than them, and they have been hiding here and there during this time.

"His Majesty the Demon King will not take in useless guys, show your loyalty."

When the shape-shifting spider heard Ravna's words, it moved quickly on its eight legs, jumped up and turned itself over, with its soft abdomen and vital parts exposed, and shouted loudly:

"I swear to the Mother of Monsters that I will devote my absolute loyalty to His Majesty the Demon King!"

Above the deformed spider, a huge phantom of a goddess that seemed to be made up of monsters and people appeared, and then disappeared.

The Mother of Monsters is the goddess worshiped by almost all monsters. Swearing in her name is an oath that must not be broken.

Not to mention committing an act that violates the oath, even if you have such thoughts, all eight legs will be pulled out by the power of the mother of monsters in the next moment.

Then it heard the devil say:
To be continued...
