Chapter 167 - Partner Contract: The Cave Lizardmen's Master, the Twin Witches

Tang Zheng glanced at the three Frogmen riding the Multi-Headed Water Serpents charging towards him and immediately signaled the two Flame Archangels, who had finished dealing with the Purple Long Worm, to attack.

The roars of the Multi-Headed Water Serpents and the shrill cries of the Frogmen echoed as the Flame Archangels intercepted them.

One of the Multi-Headed Water Serpents, unhindered, lunged fiercely towards Tang Zheng.

The Frogman standing on the head of this Multi-Headed Water Serpent looked at Tang Zheng and arrogantly shouted, "Invader, the brave Warrior will eat you!"

"I've always hated you guys who open your mouths to eat people at every turn." A cold glint flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes as he raised his palm towards the front.

*Magic Arrow! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!* Three Magic Arrows shot out, striking the left foreleg knee of the Multi-Headed Water Serpent.

Rumble.

"Roar—"

The Multi-Headed Water Serpent felt a sharp pain in its knee, and its rapidly running body couldn't help but lean forward, falling heavily into the muddy swamp with a muffled thud.

Bang! The Frogman standing on the head of the Multi-Headed Water Serpent was sent flying uncontrollably, landing in the swamp ten meters in front of Tang Zheng, creating a deep pit.

"Damn it!"

The Frogman, thick-skinned and sturdy, crawled out of the mud pit, his fist-sized dark brown eyes filled with ferocity: "Damn invader, the brave Warrior will..."

"Magic Arrow!"

Tang Zheng obviously had no intention of wasting words, raising his hand and firing a Magic.

The sound of air being torn apart rang out.

The Frogman didn't have time to dodge and was struck by the Magic Arrow, blasting three bloody holes in his resilient chest.

"It didn't pierce through." Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with surprise at this sight.

Do Frogmen have Magic resistance?

Huh? Tang Zheng suddenly paused. Under his gaze, the bloody holes blasted in the Frogman's chest had actually begun to heal.

Although it couldn't compare to an Ogre, such a recovery speed was already somewhat exaggerated.

He had never heard of Frogmen having such regenerative abilities! Discovered Skill "Partner ContractⅠ", requires basic class Tamer, current conditions not met...

Genius class activated, successfully converted, conditions met, consume 1 Skill Point to learn?

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed.

Another Tamer skill.

The previous Tamer skill, "Beastial Fury," whether looking at the name or the effect, didn't interest Tang Zheng in wasting a Skill Point.

But the effect displayed by the Frogman in front of him made Tang Zheng's eyes light up.

He naturally didn't mind having more basic classes. As long as he didn't waste Skill Points, he wouldn't mind learning.

...

Skill: Partner ContractⅠ

Cost: None (Cooldown 1h)

Description: Choose to form a close partnership with a non-hostile Demon Creature, allowing the user to use one of the partner's abilities, while the user can also choose to let the partner use one of their own abilities.

Only one side can use it each time, and the cost is paid by the side being used.

(ps: Once selected, it cannot be undone unless the partner dies and can be replaced.)

...

Tang Zheng quickly scanned the information of this skill, looking at the Multi-Headed Water Serpent that had fallen to the ground in the distance and couldn't stand up immediately.

Then he looked at the Frogman in front of him, whose chest wounds had already healed.

If he remembered correctly, the Multi-Headed Water Serpent had the ability to "increase its own healing speed," and the Frogman in front of him was obviously using that ability.

On the contrary, after the Multi-Headed Water Serpent had its ability used by the Frogman, it couldn't recover from its injuries and stand up immediately.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"Damn invader, if you kneel and beg for mercy, I, as a brave Warrior, might grant you a painless death."

After the Frogman cried out in pain twice, he saw the wound on his chest heal, and a smug look appeared on his face. He even puffed out his chest at Tang Zheng, shouting.

Seeing the other party's ostentatious and unique way of showing off.

Tang Zheng said expressionlessly, "I hope you can still recover after being chopped into pieces."

The Frogman paused, its fist-sized eyes rolled, looking to both sides, and its body couldn't help but tremble.

The two Flame Archangels had already returned and appeared on the left and right sides of the Frogman simultaneously, swinging their Flame Swords down.

The Frogman was instantly chopped into several pieces.

Blood flowed.

It completely lost its breath! Obviously, relying solely on the ability to increase its own healing speed was not enough to reassemble the separated body.

Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to press it on the Evil Spirit Dog's head: "Partner ContractⅠ."

"Woof~"

The Evil Spirit Dog let out a low growl and subconsciously shook its head.

"Go."

The master's familiar voice sounded in its mind, and the Evil Spirit Dog subconsciously stepped forward.

"Interesting, on the surface it's bidirectional, but in reality, it's a unidirectional contract based on the user," Tang Zheng carefully sensed the ability.

After activating this skill, he could clearly feel an invisible and close connection established between himself and the Evil Spirit Dog.

He could more easily and clearly transmit his commands to the Evil Spirit Dog, and at the same time, he could forcibly use the Evil Spirit Dog's Chain Great Whirlwind ability.

However, the Evil Spirit Dog could not establish a connection with him in reverse, and everything was still dominated by the user.

"Is this the difference between a Tamer and a Druid?" Tang Zheng muttered softly to himself.

Too bad.

He could only contract one Demon Creature at a time, and using this opportunity on the Evil Spirit Dog was a bit of a waste.

With the Frogman leading the way.

Tang Zheng began to gradually approach the depths of the Great Swamp. Large Demon Creatures and Frogmen increased in number, but under the attacks of the two Flame Archangels, there was nothing that could stop Tang Zheng's progress.

The dense weeds and sparse trees of the swamp gradually receded, and a dense forest appeared ahead.

"Stop!!"

Suddenly, a fearful and panicked cry came from the dense forest.

A thought flashed in Tang Zheng's mind, and the Evil Spirit Dog stopped and looked ahead warily.

A slender Lizardman emerged from the dense forest, its black eyes, slightly different from the normal Lizardman's snake pupils, were filled with fear as it looked at Tang Zheng.

"Lizardman?"

Tang Zheng showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect to see a Lizardman in the depths of the Great Swamp.

Wait!

Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly.

This Lizardman knew him?

The other party's fearful and panicked appearance didn't seem like the reaction of someone meeting for the first time.

"I'm not a Lizardman, I'm a Cave Lizardman." The Cave Lizardman heard Tang Zheng's address, shrank its neck, still full of fear, but immediately corrected him.

Cave Lizardman? Tang Zheng glanced at the spike-like objects on the other party's head.

"You know me?" Tang Zheng looked at the other party expressionlessly and said faintly.

"Master told me to tell you that you can't kill Frogmen." The Cave Lizardman braced himself, revealing sharp teeth, and did not answer Tang Zheng's question: "Don't be self-righteous just because you destroyed the Lizardman Tribe, get out of the Great Swamp."

After saying the last sentence.

The Cave Lizardman trembled, not even daring to look up at Tang Zheng in the distance. He knew how that group of Lizardmen was destroyed by this human.

A flash of light appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes, and his gaze became profound.

If it was just a guess just now, then now he was sure that the other party clearly knew what happened in the Lizardman Tribe.

"Who is your master?"

Tang Zheng's voice was somewhat cold.

"Naturally, it is the Witch, the ruler of this Dense Forest Wetland." When the Cave Lizardman mentioned the word 'Witch', it seemed to regain some courage, and even its voice became a bit louder.

Twin Witches!

Tang Zheng was even more surprised.

The Twin Witches actually knew what was happening in the Lizardmen Tribe, and the Cave Lizardman in front of him seemed to know it as well.

He was very sure.

He had never seen this Cave Lizardman before.

"All-Race Charm!" Tang Zheng was too lazy to speculate himself and directly activated the Magic.

Before the Cave Lizardman could react, it had already lost consciousness and walked towards Tang Zheng in a daze.

And with the transfer of the Charm Magic, the Frogman who led the way also came back to his senses.

Whoosh! The Flame Archangel flapped its wings, appeared above the Frogman, and swung the Flame Sword in its hand, splitting it in two.

"Tell me, how did you know all this?" Tang Zheng stared at the Cave Lizardman in front of him and asked calmly.

Under the Cave Lizardman's explanation, Tang Zheng finally understood everything.

He did not expect that this Cave Lizardman could disguise itself as an ordinary Lizardman and survive in the Lizardmen Tribe.

Not only that.

When the Twin Witches stole the Lizardmen's treasure, it was also the Cave Lizardman, transformed into a Lizardman, who secretly passed on information that led to their success.

Not the Cave Lizardman in front of him, but another one.

Tang Zheng took a black-gray ring from the Cave Lizardman's hand. This was the Magic Item that allowed the Cave Lizardman to transform into a Lizardman.

"I thought it was that wave of Mana in the air back then."

Tang Zheng frowned slightly, playing with the ring in his hand. He suddenly realized that things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

Just from what the Twin Witches had done through the hands of the Cave Lizardman, it was enough to show that they were not stupid Demi-humans.

However! What the Twin Witches had just said through the Cave Lizardman to warn him was obviously a rather stupid act.

Knowing that he had destroyed the Lizardmen Tribe, they still did something to anger him.

"They don't want to drive me away. On the contrary, they want me to go in." Tang Zheng raised his head and looked into the depths of the dark Dense Forest, his eyes flickering.
