Gluttonous Warlock

Chapter 149 Returning to the Jungle (Two Chapters in One)

Three months later.

Arcadia returned to the Wakanda jungle as promised.

This time, she returned as the deputy leader of the "Morgan Scientific Expedition Team".

The captain is none other than Dr. Edward Morgan.

He learned from Arcadia that his only son was still alive, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He wished he could grow wings and fly back to the Wakanda jungle immediately.

However, work matters forced him to be patient, and after some preparations, he finally pulled together an expedition team.

After five years, the doctor returned to the rainforest in the name of scientific research, looking for his lost son.

Arcadia volunteered to be the teacher's guide.

Recalling the thrilling experience of the last expedition from Conglin, Arcadia learned to behave after suffering a loss.

For safety reasons, this rich and powerful noble lady spent a lot of money to hire a mercenary team to serve as the bodyguards of the scientific expedition team.

The leader of the mercenary team is named Hessen, a veteran of the battlefield who became famous during the war of succession to the throne.

A middle-aged man with an extremely burly figure, with a beard all over his face, which couldn't hide the scar.

A huge sword was slung across his back, and his eyes showed a gloomy and cold temperament.

Captain Hesse quickly found an opportunity to prove himself worthy of a hefty commission.

The scientific expedition team disembarked from the ship and went to the village where Tazan lived.

Passing a swamp on the way, I suddenly heard the sound of fighting.

The two parties to the conflict are the Wakanda and the Lizardmen.

The cold-blooded lizardman, covered with green scales, is the most representative subhuman race in the rainforest.

To be fair, lizardmen are not inherently evil.

It's just that these demihumans living in the depths of the swamp are more barbaric than Wakanda in the eyes of visitors from the civilized world.

Lizardmen also hate humans for good reason.

Wakanda people often go to the swamp to fish and hunt, encroaching on their territory.

The two sides frequently clashed violently over this.

The scuffle at the edge of the swamp was nothing more than common racial friction.

The doctor and his party tried to quietly bypass the conflict zone.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky, not far away, a group of lizardmen suddenly rushed out of the bushes in front of him.

Holding a flint spear, the scaled reptile face is full of murderous looks!
When the two sides met on a narrow road, they were all stunned.

The leader of the lizard people was the first to come back to his senses.

Sticking out a forked tongue, hissing in this direction.

Everyone in the scientific expedition team looked at each other in blank dismay, puzzled.

Only the knowledgeable Dr. Morgan could tell that the other party was using the ancient dragon language.

He hurried forward and tried to explain to the lizardmen in an unproficient dragon language that he was just a passer-by and had no intention of intervening in the conflict between the lizardmen and the Wakandas.

Unfortunately, the communication between the two parties was not pleasant.

The leader of the lizard people could barely accept the doctor's words and agreed to let them go, but there was one condition.

The scientific expedition team must keep all the irons on their bodies!

Especially the swords worn by the mercenaries and the chain armor worn on their bodies.

In the rain forest area, iron ore is scarce, and iron smelting technology is also very backward.

Armor and weapons forged from good steel are especially precious!

The leader of the lizard people, seeing that everyone was well-equipped, couldn't help but become greedy and wanted to charge some tolls.

After listening to Dr. Morgan's translation of the lizard man's request, the mercenaries immediately became enraged!
Ask them to hand over their armor and weapons?
"Dream your ×!"

"Arrogant lizard man, court death!"

The crowd is furious, and the sword is unsheathed!
"Don't be noisy!"

Captain Hessen scolded, and the mercenaries under him fell silent.

"Dr. Morgan, please convey my respect to the lizard leader for me."

Captain Hessen said calmly.

"We can discuss about handing over the weapons."

Dr. Interpreter.

The gloomy face of the leader of the lizard people improved.

The compatriots behind him slowly lowered their spears that were raised high.

Captain Hesse, in front of everyone on both sides, took off his helmet and chain mail.

The huge sword that was slung behind his back was also taken off.

Holding the equipment in both hands, he strode towards the lizardman.

The leader of the lizardman folded his arms across his chest, and cocked his mouth.

A little lizard man next to him stepped forward to take Captain Hessen's equipment.

A disarmed, unarmed human being, in the eyes of the lizardmen, is not a threat.

However, they soon paid the blood price for this prejudice.

The moment the handover was completed, Captain Hessen suddenly stomped his feet!

Boom! !
The ground under his feet suddenly shook violently, and the mud flew up.

Tier 2 Martial Skill—Earth Shock!

Captain Hessen stomped his foot infused with magic power, causing a local earthquake within 15 meters of the surrounding area!
All the lizardmen happened to be in the earthquake area, so they were caught off guard and almost all fell down.

Only the leader of the lizardman, holding on to the violently shaking tree trunk, was still struggling to support it.

Captain Hesse himself was not affected by the earthquake in the slightest.

With a sneer, he strode forward and approached the leader of the lizardmen.

"Hiss—human! Cunning! Damn it!"

The leader of the lizard man became furious, picked up the spear with one hand, and stabbed Hessen's chest hard.

Clang!
The sharp spear polished by flint pierced Hesse's unarmored chest, shooting out a string of sparks!
Captain Hessen was proficient in Tier [-] body training and hard work. He was stabbed in the chest without changing his face.

With eyes glaring, holding a spear, he strode forward.

creak——

The wooden spear shaft was bent into a bow by him.

The lizardman leader leaned against the tree trunk, his hands trembling.

Can hardly hold the spear shaft.

Click! !
The overwhelmed spear finally broke.

The leader of the lizardmen screamed, turned around and ran away.

Captain Hessen grabbed half of the spearhead and threw it out casually.

puff!

The tip of the spear hit the back of the leader of the Lizardman, protruding through his chest.

The corpse fell to the ground with a plop, and the pool of blood spread.

At the same time, Arcadia was not idle, and beat the dog in the water together with the mercenaries.

The Lizardman, who was knocked over by Captain Hesse, was beaten hard before he could stand up.

The boss is dead, and the minions have no intention of fighting.

Leaving behind several corpses, he fled away by crawling and crawling.

At the end of this fierce and short battle, Arcadia came to Hesse with two swords in hand.

"The aborigines besieged by the lizardmen on the other side of the swamp are all residents of Tazan Village!"

"The simple natives once gave us warm hospitality! Now that they are in trouble, we can't stand by and watch!"

"What's more, there is Tazan's affection!"

"Captain! Take your men and horses, and follow me to save people!"

"Ha ha……"

Captain Hesse sneered and shook his head.

"Miss, I'm really sorry."

"The contract we signed does not include the rescue of the aborigines."

"Unless you add extra money, it's out of the question."

"You...well, make an offer!" Arcadia said holding back her anger.

Hesse casually asked a sky-high price.

An unacceptable price tag.

Arcadia finally understood that it wasn't a question of money, and Hesse didn't want to make any troubles at all.

"If you don't go, I will go by myself!"

Filled with resentment, Arcadia turned on the atavistic form.

Transformed into an avenging angel with silver helmet and armor, spread the silver wings and flew to the swamp.

At this time, a familiar long howl came from the forest!

The young man with the leopard head rushed out of the dense forest like a black lightning bolt.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the rear of the lizardman camp.

There were screams in the crowd!
The black shadows flashed like lightning.

The lizardmen fell down one after another, their throats spurting blood.

Eyes wide open, full of confusion.

From start to finish, it only takes the blink of an eye.

Before he even saw the opponent's movements clearly, he was already fatally hit.

The speed of the Panthers is terrifying!Unbelievable!
The chaotic lizardmen lost their fighting spirit and quickly dispersed.

"Tazan!"

Arcadia landed with cheers, and flew over without caring about turning back into a human form.

Together with a silver armor, he fell into Allen's arms.

"Dear friend, we finally meet again!"

The same time when two young people embrace each other intimately.

Captain Hessen stroked his beard and frowned slightly.

I feel a little bit afraid of the strength of the black panther boy.

……

After five years, Morgan and his son were finally reunited.

Allen appeases the excited and tearful Dad, and tells the doctor about his experience of wandering in the wild for the past five years.

Finding his son is only one of Dr. Morgan's goals.

On this trip, he also shouldered an important mission.

According to the unearthed cultural relics, the doctor speculates that deep in the rainforest, there exists an intelligent race older than the Wakandas.

Before the complete decline of this race, a brilliant civilization was created.

The doctor and his team decided to venture deep into the jungle to explore the remains of ancient civilizations.

Allen joined the team of Dr., leading the crowd to avoid the beasts and dangerous areas in the forest.

During the journey, Arcadia and Alan get along day and night.

It is natural to have feelings for this wild boy.

One evening, two young people had a date under the banana tree.

Temporarily unable to help themselves, together compose the great harmony of life.

This is the first time Allen has made out with a girl of angel blood.

Compared with ordinary golden silk cats, Miss Angel's skin is smoother, her pores are more delicate, and it feels very good to the touch, just like porcelain...

It's hard for Allen to say whether this is a genetic trait of angels.

……

Happy times are always so short.

After more than two months of arduous trek, Dr. Morgan finally got his wish and found the ancient ruins in the valley deep in the jungle.

To be precise, it is a deserted temple.

A building built of huge stones, with a serpentine statue inside.

A little observation reveals that the face of the statue looks a lot like a human face.

And most of them are the faces of young women, quite gorgeous.

A statue with a human face and a snake body...

The more Allen looked at it, the more familiar it became.

Recalling that in the mountains of the hometown of Quint, I once hunted and killed a basilisk.

The basilisk is said to be a Naga with a severely degraded bloodline.

Its facial outline vaguely retains the features of a human face.

His conjecture was quickly confirmed by Dr. Morgan.

The statue in the ruins is the legendary Naga clan!

What the doctor is looking for is actually the civilization created by the ancient Naga clan.

Naga with human face and snake body are all born warlocks!
Their hearts are more vicious than their fangs!
Use magic to dominate races including humans.

As a slave, build this once magnificent temple.

On the wall inside the temple.

Fragments of mottled murals can be seen everywhere.

Allen couldn't understand what it meant.

The doctor is like a treasure.

Try to interpret the rubbing murals that you forget to eat and sleep.

The expedition team stayed in the temple for more than ten days.

With the assistance of his assistants, Dr. Morgan's research has achieved breakthrough results.

According to his identification, the murals depict the history of the ancient Naga clan from prosperity to decline.

This mysterious ancient civilization belongs to a branch of the Naga ethnic group called "Spirit Naga".

The last mistress of the spirit Naga family, in order to live forever, researched necromancer magic, massacred the surrounding aborigines, and held blood sacrifices.

Frantically trying to die, ended up tossing myself to death...

Not only that, but the relatives, friends and children of the mistress were also dragged to be buried together.

This mad monster, until the last moment of his life, refused to admit that he had gone astray, declaring that death was only the beginning of a truer life.

She felt that she would not die, but that she was embracing immortality.

She felt that her family members and heirs would not die, but, thanks to her blessing, accompanied her to obtain eternal life.

It doesn't matter what Mistress Naga thinks.

The other naga in the tribe, have had enough of her madness.

Conspire secretly and set a trap.

Coax the mad mistress and her cronies into the depths of the tomb where the ancestors are worshiped, and then launch a rebellion.

After a bloody battle, the mistress and her cronies were all killed!
The coup was successful, but the Naga still couldn't feel at ease.

Before she died, the mistress declared that she would come back for revenge.

Insist on clamoring, what kind of "immortal body" is he.

This sounds like crazy talk.

But... what if it is true?

What if she could really be brought back to life?

Some strange things happened later, which made the coup d'état even more frightened.

They built this temple to suppress the undead mother, trying to escape the curse of the undead.

What happened later was not recorded in the murals, and Dr. Morgan did not know about it.

But judging from the signs of ruin at the scene, the spirit Naga clan, after the coup, obviously went downhill.

Regardless of whether it was because of the curse of the mistress, this tribe no longer exists today, completely annihilated in the dust of history.

Only the broken walls and ruins are left for later generations to verify.

According to the clues provided by the murals, Dr. Morgan has roughly deciphered where the ancestral tombs of the Naga clan are located.

Reason told him enough was enough.

The ancestral tomb, the place where the mad mistress was murdered, is definitely a very dangerous place!

There were many warnings on the murals, trespassing into the tomb of the ancestral spirits without permission will definitely end badly!

Of course, Dr. Morgan also admitted that there should be cultural relics of high value in the depths of the mausoleum.

The Naga family advocates luxury, and the treasures buried with them are also indispensable.

Captain Hesse was very interested in this ancient tomb and suggested that the doctor continue to explore.

Maybe everyone can take this opportunity to make a fortune.

The Doctor, however, resisted the temptation.

I firmly believe that it is wise to accept as soon as you see it.

After a fierce quarrel, the doctor and the captain parted ways.

Captain Hesse considered leaving the doctor alone to hunt for treasure alone.

However, without a doctor leading the way, who can find the ancient tombs of the Naga clan in this primeval forest?

No one else can do it.

Then, the next thing will be a matter of course.

That night, Captain Hesse launched a rebellion together with his mercenaries.

First poisoned the soup, stunned everyone in the scientific expedition team, and then massacred.

Captain Hessian needs no more survivors than Dr. Morgan.

Allen is the only one on the team with toxin resistance.

Only he and Arcadia escaped the massacre and survived.

Allen could have exposed Hesse's conspiracy in advance.

But he didn't.

Atavistic meditation, in the final analysis, is to improve practice.

From this perspective, the interests of practitioners and ancestor spirits are not always the same.

Zu Ling certainly hopes that the tragedy will not happen.

Zuling didn't want to go through the ordeals that nearly killed him and ultimately made him stronger.

However, without the subsequent suffering, how could the ancestors have a strong obsession with dying?

What's the perfect meditation without dying regrets to deal with?
Substitute too deeply into the ancestor spirit, put the interests of the ancestor spirit above their own interests, just to satisfy their own Virgin Mary?
Losing oneself and getting too deep into the drama is a sign of being possessed.

Allen didn't want to be possessed.

When necessary, have to "hard-hearted".

This is the principle that warlocks must adhere to in their practice.

-

Three chapters are guaranteed, plus one chapter is added, the total exceeds [-] words, and they are combined into two large chapters.

In the future, I will no longer forcibly dismantle chapters of four or five thousand words to avoid splitting the plot.

But the updated word count will definitely not cut corners, nor will it deliberately make up the word count.

Ask for a monthly ticket recommendation!
