Chapter 1097 - 596: Thunderous Momentum, Turmoil in the South Region

Dinan Village is still about ten to twenty kilometers away from the Poison Swamp, so the battle there shouldn’t affect it.

Because of the intrusion of those lords, Zong Shen’s plan to tame the Greedy Handsome Guy might have to be moved up.

Of course, the specific situation still needs further observation.

The most urgent thing right now is to get to the scene as soon as possible; only upon his presence can he seize control.

After he contacted Luna, Rasama and Gujate also returned here.

Rasama floated up, extending his hand to throw 13 keys behind Zong Shen.

Zong Shen turned around and collected these Flame Demon Keys.

Gujate also lightly jumped onto the back of the Flying Tiger with the beast egg in his arms.

He first returned the beast egg, warm on the surface, to Zong Shen, then took out 22 Flame Demon Keys from the grid on the side of his battle armor waist.

Using the trait of the beast egg, his killing efficiency immediately surpassed Rasama’s.

During the time Zong Shen was heading to the Goblin Tribe, the two of them collected a total of 35 Flame Demon Keys.

Putting all the keys into the storage grid, Zong Shen patted the Flying Tiger.

Hot air puffed from the body of the Flying Tiger beneath him, panting with its mouth open, clearly exhausted.

Flying Magical Beasts have a great advantage in low-altitude mobility, but in terms of speed and durability, they’re not as good as Earth’s fighter jets.

Those fourth-generation and fifth-generation fighter jets typically have a combat radius of one or two thousand kilometers.

With aerial refueling, they can cover even longer combat distances.

As long as there’s enough fuel, fatigue isn’t an issue at all.

Slightly lamenting in his heart, Zong Shen patted the Flying Tiger’s head again, signaling it to take off immediately.

Although the Flying Tiger had expended quite a bit of physical strength, it was far from being completely exhausted.

After a brief break, it flapped its wings again.

After soaring to an appropriate height, it flew southward following Zong Shen’s direction!

In the world of Flying Tigers, no beef is eaten for free.

Now is the time for it to earn its keep.

...

Southern region, Poisonous Mist Swamp.

About an hour and a half ago, those over two hundred lords formally gathered.

In the end, there were even more present than initially estimated.

These over two hundred lords brought three to four thousand warriors.

They gathered outside the Poisonous Mist Swamp, quite a formidable presence.

This also attracted the attention of many lords.

They mainly used the [Regional Channel] to arrange their meeting.

Only Zong Shen, who doesn’t really like watching the [Channel], didn’t notice.

Basically, all the lords in the region knew something was going on in the south.

After this batch of lords joined forces with the accompanying thousands of warriors.

Some lords who were just there to watch also came over.

Besides occasionally killing some Little Flame Demons, they wanted to see if there were any opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

So, by the time these lords set out, there were already over a thousand lords around the outer areas of the Poison Swamp.

Including the warriors they brought, there were a total of ten to twenty thousand people.

This made the entire perimeter of the Poison Swamp very noisy.

Meanwhile, the commotion outside was also discovered by the Lizardman sentinels inside the Poison Swamp.

These Lizardmen have lizard-like four-legged lower limbs and upper limbs similar to humans.

But their heads are lizard-like.

Their bodies are strong, with a lower body about three meters long, and a height of about two meters.

They hold a two-meter-long battle spear in their hands.

When their lower four legs move together, they run very fast.

The weakest Lizardmen are also elite-level monsters.

The most important point is that these Lizardmen can tame the mindless Mire Crocodiles.

Every Lizardman Warrior is accompanied by a Mire Crocodile.

They form the patrol squad of the Poisonous Mist Swamp and are the eyes of the Black Dragon.

When a Lizardman patrolling the edge of the Poison Swamp discovered humans gathering,

they immediately reported it to Master Gladsone.

He is the clan leader of this Lizardman tribe, responsible for the patrol and defense inside and outside the swamp.

Upon receiving the news, Ulysses, the Dragon Vein Dogman Chief under the Black Dragon, also got the message and began to assemble the Red-Scaled Dogmen of the tribe.

Within less than fifteen minutes, over three hundred Red-Scaled Dogman Warriors, over a hundred Red-Scaled Dogman Crossbowmen, dozens of Red-Scaled Dogman Prophets, and twelve Red-Scaled Dogman Pioneers gathered in front of the Dragon Nest.

Over a hundred Lizardman Warriors on the periphery, along with an equal number of Mire Crocodiles, had already infiltrated the marsh facing the human gathering points.

Taking advantage of the marsh and the poisonous mist to conceal their forms.

Inside the Dragon Nest, the Black Dragon was still lying on the treasure-bed, sound asleep.

Sleep is an essential part of the growth and development of Five-Colored Dragons.

Each time they wake up, their strength increases to a certain extent.

If awakened prematurely or startled, this sleep would be for naught.

In this kind of situation, neither Ulysses nor Gladsone dared to wake the Black Dragon.

Watching the ever-increasing number of humans and their accompanying warriors outside.

They felt a deep sense of pressure.

Who knows where these humans came from?

If these humans were to swarm, neither the poisonous mist nor they could stop them.

Fortunately, in the end, only the group of humans gathered together chose to enter the Poison Swamp.

Ulysses believed that these people were just the human’s advance party.

He pessimistically prepared to awaken Master Black Water.

In fact, the group entering the Poison Swamp was those over two hundred lords.

Although they brought over four thousand warriors of various tiers, limited by the quantity of high-level antitoxic potions.

Only about one thousand eight or nine hundred warriors followed them into the Poison Swamp.

Among these warriors, the lowest tier are Tier Two Wolf Cavalry.

There are quite a few Tier Three Mages and Shooters, also some Dark Night Female Hunters and Forest Patrols.

There are even a few Tier Four soldiers moving with the crowd.

Given the limited antitoxic potions, the number of soldiers these lords could bring in was limited, so naturally, the higher tier, the better.
