Chapter 119 An Ordinary Lizard Achieves World's Strongest
That unremarkable little lizard was now implanted with a queen insect symbolizing royalty by Sasha.
Xia Zhaozhao tossed it onto the edge of the battlefield like trash.
Thus, the stage outside the train tunnel was completely set up. A chaotic battle for supremacy officially began.
The group increased their altitude, watching the chaotic battle below with great interest. After all, the battlefield was already chaotic enough, and there was no need to introduce any new variables for the time being.
Little Green thought to himself, "Let them finish their first round and see how this makeshift group fares before making any plans."
"Holy crap! They're fighting a civil war—how stupid! Cooperate! Attack the biggest one first! Oh dear! Why is that one over there starting to move? Great!"
Xia Zhaozhao's voice rang in Xiao Lü's ears as expected, like a novice trying to explain a Go match using the rules of mahjong.
"—Zhaozhao, stop for a moment."
"ha?"
"I can't understand it at all when you explain it."
The battlefield below was indeed in utter chaos.
Dozens of forced pseudo-emperors, each leading their own forces of varying sizes, were embroiled in a chaotic battle in the rain outside the tunnel, their movements resembling Brownian motion with no clear lines of defense.
Just then, Xiao Lü noticed that Xia Zhaozhao's gaze was suddenly drawn to a corner of the battlefield.
Upon noticing her gaze, Xia Zhaozhao immediately pointed excitedly in that direction.
"Look! Look over there!"
Looking in the direction she pointed, two makeshift troupes seemed to be engaged in a rather serious showdown.
The large dung beetle on the left and the large golden beetle on the right each led their own small armies, fighting fiercely.
"They look pretty promising! I'm rooting for these two!" Xia Zhaozhao exclaimed excitedly.
However, at that very moment, a new force suddenly surged forth from the tunnel. The two beetle monsters' armies suffered heavy losses against the regular army, resembling stray dogs.
"—They need to regroup their forces." Xia Zhaozhao's excitement froze instantly, but she was quickly drawn to another group of aggregates.
The leader of this group was quite large, seemingly having devoured wild boars or something similar from the mountains. His consciousness also seemed to be quite strong, and he was surrounded by many underlings.
"Wow, this is amazing! I'm betting on it!"
The giant agglomerate lived up to its expectations, charging into the enemy forces and instantly tearing apart countless smaller agglomerates.
However, its minions couldn't keep up with its pace at all, and it was surrounded by monsters.
"Screw it!" Xia Zhaozhao cried out in despair, feeling that she had lost all her virtual game currency.
"————Utterly pathetic." Little Green was speechless.
It seems I still need to support a few more agents on my side, and I need to select the ones who look smart to be officially recognized.
Meanwhile, on the edge of the battlefield, in a corner completely ignored by Xia Zhaozhao.
Xiao Lü's gaze inadvertently fell on the lizard aggregate that Xia Zhaozhao had casually tossed aside, one that didn't even bother to give a country name or a number.
It looks weak, pitiful, and helpless.
Within its extremely weak mental control field, which could only be sustained by its faint consciousness, there were only three smaller aggregates that looked as if they were about to disappear.
Noticing the direction of Xiao Lü's gaze, Xia Zhaozhao's gaze also drifted over.
Then, an expression of "I can't bear to look" instantly appeared on her face.
"Damn, this guy's so weak! How come he only has three lackeys?"
"The way it looks to me is just like—that three-stage thing again?"
"Power of Fighting, Level Three." Xiao Lü finished the joke for her.
The lizard aggregate, of course, did not mock or feel ashamed about its current situation.
This is not because it is mentally strong and unfazed by praise or criticism, but because its intelligence level is simply insufficient to bear such a sophisticated emotion as self-deprecation.
As a typical weakling, it is the lowest-ranking loser in the aggregate ecological niche.
Several weeks have passed since the apocalypse began, and it has suffered a crushing defeat in this brutal infighting. Its only achievement is successfully catching and eating a gecko.
Just as its biomass was about to run out and its life was about to be extinguished, it was suddenly chosen by the god of fate.
A female insect was implanted into its body. A golden age had arrived.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a poor little lizard!" Xia Zhaozhao added her own inner monologue to the little guy in a tone that seemed to enjoy watching a good show.
Little Green didn't respond, but silently watched this monstrous little fish with his crooked and deformed underlings.
It was cautiously navigating the edge of the battlefield, trying to find scraps left over by other powerful beings.
Just then, a wounded, enormous aggregate, as big as a teddy bear, appeared in front of it, swaying and intimidating!
A crisis struck in an instant.
The giant (?) aggregate was completely taken aback to encounter such a weak creature here. It quickly concluded: this was a treat delivered right to its doorstep.
The lizard instinctively felt fear. Without hesitation, it activated its stolen racial talent—tail detachment for survival.
A section of its wildly twitching tail was left in place, successfully drawing some of the aggregate's attention. Its main body, however, burrowed into a nearby crevice.
"Damn, they sold out their underling and ran away! How despicable!"
The three abandoned underlings stared blankly at the enormous aggregate. The largest of them was bitten by the aggregate.
However, just as the aggregate was about to enjoy this appetizer, it did not notice that a small figure touched its wound, which was not yet fully healed.
With the speed of a gecko, it silently clung to the wound and then plunged inside!
"Wow! You can play like this?" Xia Zhaozhao exclaimed in surprise.
The battle shifted from the outside to the inside. The aggregate roared in agony and writhed madly, but all in vain.
Ultimately, something vital inside it was devoured, leaving it paralyzed on the ground. Its two henchmen, remotely controlled, also came to share in the spoils. Together, they devoured the aggregate.
A moment later, the lizard visibly grew larger. Rough, white bony spurs even sprouted on its body.
It remained motionless, seemingly adapting to its more powerful body.
"I see this lizard has the makings of an emperor!" Xia Zhaozhao commented.
Xiao Lv discovered that this lizard's behavior pattern was completely different from that of the other pseudo-emperors who had been appointed.
The other creatures, influenced by the mother insect, generally follow a fundamental code: "Kings don't meet."
Their army will prioritize attacking other individuals parasitized by the mother insect, fighting to the death.
But this lizard was different; it seemed to have little interest in "killing".
In its eyes, there is no dignity of a king, only pure hunger; in battle, it is more inclined to devour.
Whenever it discovers that two forces are locked in a fierce battle to the point of mutual destruction, or finds a severely injured aggregate, it will lead its minions and pounce on it without hesitation, devouring the last bit of life matter of the opponent before it is completely reduced to a puddle of slime.
"This guy's like a ghoul, constantly finishing off enemies—he must have been starving before, right?"
Xia Zhaozhao said she felt sorry for him, but her face was full of excitement, as if she wanted to see more fun.
"Even with the underlying code etched into your DNA, you still insist on devouring things through sheer willpower, you Hagi Lizard—"
Little Green didn't speak. She just quietly watched the lizard, watching it and its minions frantically loot and plunder on the edge of this chaotic battlefield.
Seemingly influenced by positive feedback from its previous actions, or perhaps due to an increase in its intelligence during the process of devouring, it became aware of the effectiveness of this opportunistic program.
"Look! It's gone again!" Xia Zhaozhao pointed to another area where the battle had just ended.
A monster resembling a giant dung beetle had just defeated its opponent, but was now lying on the ground recovering from a large gash torn open in its abdomen.
The lizard's opportunity came. It used the same trick again, leading its minions to swarm and devour the animal.
This time, after the lizard finished devouring, its body underwent a new change. A layer of metallic exoskeleton grew out of its body, replacing the original thin scales.
"Oh my god! The defense has been boosted!" Xia Zhaozhao's comment was very timely.
Not long after, another monster that looked like a mole was spotted and seriously injured when it tried to ambush another unit from underground.
The harki lizard sensed another opportunity.
This time, it actually used a simple tactic.
It directed its minions to launch a feint attack from the front, drawing the attention of the dying rat, while it quietly circled around to its back and delivered the fatal blow.
This time, it was much larger and its claws were much sharper, making it look quite threatening.
"Attack power has increased too! That's impressive development speed!"
With each successful opportunistic attack, the lizard grew larger, and its strength and intelligence increased accordingly.
And the small force behind it, which initially consisted of only three members, grew rapidly like a snowball.
Having gained a certain level of strength, it was no longer content to passively wait for opportunities.
It began to take the initiative, selectively attacking those weaker than itself, or those who had just survived a major battle and were recovering.
The signal from the queen worm within its body also attracts some of the monsters. Many small groups that were defeated have defected and surrendered to it because of this more powerful signal source.
In just a few dozen minutes, this small fry had transformed from a wretched scavenger into a powerful local bandit king.
"Hey, hey, look! It's gotten smarter!"
Xia Zhaozhao's voice was filled with the joy of discovering a new continent; she felt that she had finally made the right bet this time.
She pointed to the small force led by the Hagi lizard, which was already taking shape and was currently confronting another force of similar size.
But unlike before, the lizard didn't charge forward with its core group. Instead, it stayed at the rear of the formation, directing its newly recruited cannon fodder to launch probing attacks.
-
Use the new recruits to deplete the enemy's manpower while observing their attack patterns and strength.
This is no longer just a simple biological instinct; it's tactics. It has become a small warlord entrenched on the edge of the battlefield.
"————This intelligence level is almost catching up with Green Skin!" Little Green made a sarcastic remark.
Bai Shuyuan had clearly noticed this anomaly as well. She observed it for a short while before concluding, "Its information processing capabilities are growing rapidly."
Just then, the lizard moved. It seemed that it had thoroughly figured out its opponent's strength through the sacrifice of cannon fodder.
Instead of choosing a direct, head-on battle, it detached a small squad from its own forces, focusing on the fastest-moving units.
This group, like rangers, constantly nibbled at the edges of the enemy formation. Once they succeeded, they immediately fled far away, never lingering in battle.
Its poor opponent was tormented by this shameless fighting style and was slowly bled out and devoured in futile pursuit and counterattack.
"This thing—how does it even know how to play like this? I can't even do that kind of micro-management in games!"
"Perhaps one of the monsters it devoured was an individual with specialized intelligence," Bai Shuyuan said calmly.
The battlefield unfolded in a way that exceeded everyone's expectations. The chaotic proxy war was about to come to an end in just one or two hours.
The battlefield had become eerily quiet, with only two forces remaining.
On one side were the emperor's personal guards, who were stationed at the tunnel entrance.
On the other side is the humble hero who rose from obscurity and is now destined for greatness—the Hagi Lizard!
At this moment, after devouring those powerful aggregates, the Hagi lizard's body also underwent a tremendous change!
Its size has increased dramatically, and its originally smooth exoskeleton is now covered with a strange, thick shell. It has even grown a pair of underdeveloped, deformed wings on its back.
"Wow, a Dynamax Shiny Charmander! No, a Gigantamax Charmander!"
Of course, it's only superficially similar.
The final battle is about to begin.
The emperor in the tunnel could not sit still; the newly rising overlord, the little fire dragon, had already posed a real threat to his rule.
The black waves surged out of the cave entrance once again. But this time, they did not charge blindly. Instead, they formed a well-defined defensive formation outside the entrance, completely protecting the tunnel opening.
They are waiting for the little dragon to attack first.
"Counter-attack? Not bad, there's something special about this one in the tunnel." Xia Zhaozhao analyzed like a professional e-sports commentator.
However, Charmander's response once again exceeded her expectations.
It does not have frontal hard steel reinforcement.
It let out a roar, and all its remaining minions instantly shrank and gathered together, forming a huge, constantly writhing sphere with it at its core!
"What is it going to do? A Trojan horse?" Xia Zhaozhao couldn't understand.
The next second, that huge ball of flesh rolled toward the enemy's ironclad formation with an unstoppable momentum!
In the end, that huge "Troy meat horse" rolled into the very center of the enemy's formation without any sense of reason!
Then, the ball of flesh suddenly burst apart!
The little fire dragon, along with its army, blossomed in the heart of the enemy!
They reassembled into a defensive formation within the enemy lines!
A desperate battle, a fight to the death.
The ensuing battle devolved into a primal and bloody slaughter. The regular army, whose formation had been breached at the center, was thrown into chaos. Despite their numerical advantage, they were completely unable to gain the upper hand.
Meanwhile, the little dragon's troops, under its command, held their ground and relentlessly tore apart the enemies surging in from all directions.
This extremely fierce battle lasted for nearly half an hour.
Finally, when the last monster belonging to the regular army fell, the entire battlefield fell silent.
Amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, only one figure remained standing!
It's that little black fire dragon!
It won.
It became the sole king of this land.
It surveyed its empire's territory, feeling the immense power within it. At this moment, what could possibly stop it?
However, it did not rush into the tunnel entrance to kill the king.
Its head slowly turned, its arrogant eyes sweeping across the entire battlefield before finally landing on the five bystanders in the air.
"ha-!"
It issued a show of force to the five in the air, asserting its authority as the new king and demanding that they leave its territory.
"Hehehehe—"
Xia Zhaozhao wore an extremely kind smile and spoke in a sweet voice.
She landed gently in front of the little dragon.
"Lizard Slayer - Fist!"
"Thump!"
Xia Zhaozhao hammered the black fire dragon's head into its chest cavity.
Charmander's Defense Effort Values have been increased!
