Chapter 1163 The Lizardman's Plot
Xiao Qi was so frightened that his legs went limp when he heard this.Repeatedly begging for forgiveness: "Big brother, don't kill me, I'm still useful. I have important information!"

The lizardman killed decisively, originally he didn't intend to listen to Xiaoqi's nonsense, and wanted to kill Xiaoqi with a single blow, but was stopped by a lizardman who appeared later.

The lizard man who stopped him was the one who had provoked Jiang Yue at the window of the castle guild before, asking him to get out of the way and let him handle it first.

He is also the leader of the group of lizardmen.This fellow followed a group of lizardmen all the way to the manor, obviously not here to visit the mountains and rivers.Their goal was clear, and they came for Jiang Yue.

The so-called grievances are just an excuse.Just for the small dispute in front of the window, no matter how narrow-minded the Lizard Man is, he wouldn't be able to chase him all the way here.After all, the price is too high, and it doesn't make much sense to fight for emotions.

They have traveled thousands of miles to chase here, and their starting point is not similar to Qingzhe and the group of mushroom people, but exactly the same.

Money touches people's hearts. 800 silver coins are enough to make most adventurer teams take risks, and there are rough stones that may exist beyond 800 silver coins, which is enough to make them no matter what the cost.

What's more, the ideas of these lizard people are exactly the same as those of Qingzhe's group of mushroom people.They didn't find it difficult to hunt down a few mushroom men at all.

Low risk, high reward.

This group of lizard people even felt that this was the most cost-effective deal in their life so far, and they might never have such a low-risk, high-return deal in this life.

A few mushroom people, in the eyes of the lizard people, are not much different from scarecrows.

The lizard man who was stopped was a little puzzled and asked: "Boss, these mushroom men are as cowardly as mice and as humble as insects. Why don't you let me kill him?"

"It's not easy to kill someone? If you want to kill him, when can't you kill him? Inquire about the situation first."

At this time, they were deep underground, so they were not worried about alarming the mountain guards on the surface.Of course they knew that the owner of the manor attached great importance to this medicine garden, and there were patrols along the way.

Lizardmen are good at working underground, easily avoiding those patrolling teams.

But as the leader of the lizard people, this one is naturally cautious and thoughtful that other people don't have.

Seeing the completely emotionless eyes of the lizard leader, Xiao Qi felt deeply afraid: "Boss, we have no grievances, and we even have a common goal. There is really no need to fight."

The lizardman leader was unmoved, apparently not feeling the words.

"Hehe, are you trying to say that you are also here for those three guys?"

Xiao Qi didn't deny it: "Yes, our boss Qingzhe said that those three are big fat sheep, if they are slaughtered, they might be able to eat them for several years."

The leader of the lizard people laughed dumbly: "It seems that your leaders are quite discerning. Aren't the mushroom people as cowardly as a mouse? Dare to kill and steal? And they are also your kind?"

Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed. Fighting with the same clan is not an honorable thing in front of outsiders.

"Okay, I'm not interested in your vendetta. If you want to survive, you have to answer the questions well."

Xiao Qi hurriedly said: "Boss, I know everything, and I dare not hide anything. If you want me to go east, I will never go west."

"Come on, I don't want to listen to good words. Tell me, how many guards has the manor owner set up in the medicine garden?"

Xiao Qi scratched his head in embarrassment: "Boss, to be honest, we have only been here for a day or two, and Master Hu, the owner of the manor, still doesn't fully trust us. We only have a half-knowledge of the situation here. How much power has been deployed? , Let alone you, we didn’t figure it out ourselves. So far, we haven’t dealt with any armed force guarding the medicine garden, and we haven’t met face to face.”

This is the truth, but to the lizard man's ears, it is an absurd joke.

The previous lizardman slapped him and said, "Teniang didn't know how to make up nonsense better? You are all in the same group, and you don't deal with each other? Don't meet?"

Xiao Qi covered his face, that was a grievance.

"Brother, I really didn't lie. The boss of my family, Qingzhe, said that these forces guarding the medicine garden seem to guard against outsiders, but they are actually guarding against us, the medicine workers who take care of the medicine garden."

The lizard man wanted to slap him again, but was stopped by the lizard man leader.

"Okay, don't fight, he didn't lie. If this manor is mine, I don't worry about a group of newly recruited mushroom people. As we all know, mushroom people seem to be honest, and they are all cunning and sneaky. They are best at .”

Mushroom people have a bad reputation in the inner earth world, not only because the ethnic groups are not united, but mushroom people do have a lot of bad reputations and means.

Sneaking is just one of many negative word of mouth.

Of course Xiao Qi didn't dare to refute, he just smiled awkwardly, wanting to beg for mercy but didn't dare to say anything, looking humble and ridiculous.

"Don't tell the guards in advance, are the three big fat sheep you mentioned with you?"

Xiao Qi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes. At present, we are all working as medicine workers, responsible for taking care of this medicine garden. The workload is very heavy, and we are as tired as dogs all day long."

The leader of the lizardman sneered and said, "You guys are used to working in the wrong way. It's no wonder that you can do this kind of long-term hard work. Even if you don't admit it, I know that you are here for their silver coins and rough stones." .”

"Big brother is wise, I really can't hide anything from big brother."

"Stop flattering. Honestly, since they have already reached the ground, why don't you take action? With your team, you don't have to worry about not being able to take down the three mushroom men, right?"

The leader of the lizard people must have his own set of skills to be the leader of the team.He had to figure out what seemed unreasonable.

"We've wanted to do it for a long time, and we can't wait for a day. But our boss said, it's not difficult to do it, the difficulty is how to get out of this place after we succeed. This is Lord Tiger's territory. If we don't find out the way to leave in advance, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to escape."

The leader of the lizardmen thought for a while, and felt that this statement was generally acceptable.

"Is there really no other reason?"

"Really not, big brother Mingjian. How dare I say half a sentence, and I can't hide it from the big brother's eyes." Xiaoqi said in a humble tone.

"You are very interesting. But just a few words of flattery are not enough to keep you alive. If you want to survive, you have to show more value."

"Please show me, big brother, as long as I can spare my life, I can do whatever you want."

"Including betraying your companion?" The lizard man leader smiled meaningfully.

Xiao Qi didn't hesitate at all, nodded and said: "We are not blood relatives, we just hang out together, and we don't have a life-and-death friendship with each other."

This answer obviously couldn't fool the lizardman.

"I asked you if you included betraying your companions."

Faced with this kind of persecution, Xiaoqi couldn't avoid it, so he could only say with emotion: "Yes. The so-called one who knows the current affairs is a hero,"

"Okay, then you lead the way and avoid the guards. We're going straight to the residence of those three guys. It's too much to scare the snake away. Your accomplices must also be eliminated."

Xiao Qi faltered and said: "Boss, in fact, the two sides don't have to divide life and death. I can persuade Boss Qingzhe to surrender and work hard for you."

The leader of the lizard man resolutely refused: "Forget it, I have no confidence in the loyalty of the mushroom man, and I have no interest."

Xiao Qi was a little frustrated, and said unwillingly: "Boss, our strength is obviously far inferior to yours, and it is impossible to fight against you. Why don't you give us a chance to surrender?"

"So, you're still reluctant to betray them?" the leader of the lizardmen asked with a half-smile.

Xiao Qi was taken aback, his body trembled, and he quickly denied: "It's nothing, it's my honor to work for these big guys."

"Then lead the way well and do your job well. As long as you are sensible, it's not impossible to spare your life when the time comes."

Xiao Qi is not stupid, knowing that this kind of empty promise has almost negligible credibility.

"Boss, don't tease me. It's easy for me to lead the way, but I guess, once you achieve your goal, you will definitely kill me. I, a humble mushroom man, will crush an ant to death in front of you." There is no difference."

The leader of the lizard people smiled playfully: "So you are a smart person, don't you think you have the qualifications to bargain with me?"

"Yes." It's a matter of life and death, Xiaoqi also restrained his fear, and simply let his heart go.

"Oh?" The leader of the lizardmen was slightly surprised.

"Those three mushroom people, I know their habits and some of their abilities. I dare say that if you rush to the door like this, you may not be able to achieve your wish."

The leader of the lizard people sneered, "There are only three mushroom people, and I can smash them with one hand."

"Yes, face-to-face confrontation, I believe you can suppress the three of them by yourself. But these three people are different from ordinary mushroom people. They are suspicious, even to the point of being abnormal. We are of the same ethnic group as them, It’s been so long, and trust hasn’t been established yet. They guard against us like thieves. This shows how vigilant they are.”

"So what? Let's go to the door. Can we rely on vigilance to fight against us?"

"Fighting against you, the mushroom people group does not have this ability. However, what if they avoid you at the first time, or even avoid you, send a signal for help, and notify Lord Tiger's team? In the territory where you think you must win, it is very likely to capsize."

Xiao Qi knew that the more he exaggerated things, the greater his hope of saving his life.

If it makes the other party feel that it is easy to kill the three mushroom men, then after he leads the way, what is the use value?
There must be a tragic ending.

When the lizard man heard what Xiao Qi said earlier, he was immediately annoyed: "Boss, this guy is just trying to keep his life alive. Don't listen to his nonsense. Once he cuts it off. I don't believe it. We haven't found those three guys yet. ? It’s not that far away from the medicine garden. As long as we come to the door, I guarantee that the battle will be resolved within 30 seconds. The guards will never be disturbed.”

The lizardman obviously did a lot of pre-war deduction.

In their view, the difficulty of this battle is not to deal with the mushroom man, but how to ensure that the guards of the manor are not disturbed when dealing with the mushroom man, and how to do so without anyone noticing.

It seems that this is a low-risk transaction, but at this point, the risk assessment is not the mushroom man itself, but the power behind the manor.

The medicine worker who broke into the manor and murdered the family, no matter from which angle he looked at it, he would definitely be revenged by the manor owner.

If they were the owners of the manor, they would certainly not be able to tolerate such a thing.

In other people's territory, it is obviously a stupid choice to make enemies needlessly.

If you can avoid the guards and complete this matter silently, it must be the best choice.

The leader of the lizardman stared at Xiao Qi indifferently: "According to what you said, how can you ensure everything is safe?"

"To ensure that the local guards will not be disturbed, this transaction must be done with the boss of Qingzhe. I know that the boss must be very disdainful, and I think it can be killed in one fell swoop. I can be in charge and say that if you confront head-on, eight of you lizardmen are enough to kill them." We have been there three times. Mushroom people have never been good at confrontation, but mushroom people must have their own cards for survival."

"Oh? So what?"

"So if you want to kill two groups of mushroom men at the same time, this is definitely not a wise choice. There is a [-]% probability that you will be smashed, the mission will definitely fail, and the local guards will definitely be alarmed. There may even be some casualties. "

"Mushroom people can make us pay the price of casualties?"

"Yes! It's not just the boss Qingzhe who can, I suspect that those three guys can do the same."

"Hehe, I really don't believe it." The leader of the lizard man said with a sullen face.

"Believe it or not, some mushroom people have an unknown magical ability that is not known to the outside world. That is the ability to absorb various toxins. Most of the venom, poisonous mist and toxins in the earth's core world can be absorbed and stored by mushroom people. They will not die from poisoning. In case of a life-and-death battle, the mushroom man can use these toxins as a deadly weapon. And the boss of Qingzhe is very good at storing poison. As far as I know, he has stored at least ten kinds of poison by himself. Deadly toxin. Can be released in many ways."

"Oh?" Although the leader of the lizard people had heard some rumors about this information, he really didn't take it seriously.In their adventure career, it's not that they haven't done mushrooms, and some people have even killed them.I haven't encountered any mushroom people who are good at spraying poison.

This kid shouldn't be alarmist, right?
"Boss, I know what you want to say. Not everyone in the mushroom people group has the ability to store and spray poison. Maybe you have met a hundred mushroom people before without this ability, but boss Qingzhe is the exception .And those three guys probably have that kind of exception. This is the conclusion I have drawn through observation. They are so confident and fearless. If they don't have their hole cards, can they survive to this day? How can they have the guts to talk to the guild window? Challenge you?"

Although it was a speculative matter, Xiao Qi said it seriously, but he couldn't allow the leader of the lizard man to be moved.
