Chapter 1467 Unexpected Change
The Lizard started pleading for its life. It didn't want to die yet, the only reason it dared to take on the mission was because the Tribe Leader's son told them there was no danger. In fact, it wasn't the only reptile that dared to attack, even a Snake was involved in the attack. The Snake was already at the Peak of the Seventh Rank and was one of the main forces during the fight.
The Lizard was scared, Grey sounded like he wanted to kill it, and it didn't want that.
Grey looked at the Lizard that was trying to plead its way back to life.
"Unfortunately, you already made the mistake and I plan on getting revenge for her. Well, when I can." Grey didn't take its words to heart, he knew every party that was present during Melmera's attacks through her memories and he planned to take all of them out, not just the figure who instigated it.
The Lizard begged continuously and Grey gave an evil smile, "What special treasures are in the outer region of your tribe?"
The question took the Lizard by surprise and it froze, but then a gleam of hope flashed through its eyes. Since Grey was questioning it about treasures, it meant there was a good chance that as long as it gave him the information he wanted, he would let it live.
Without a single ounce of hesitation, it started speaking on all the treasures that were in the outer regions and even how he could sneak in without being detected.
To be honest, Grey was impressed with the Lizard's details in each information.
He told it he would let it go after getting the treasures which the Lizard didn't argue with.
Grey didn't know if he should call the Lizard a dummy or if it was genuinely that innocent.
'It should be smarter than this since it dared to attack her.' He thought to himself.
He threw the thought to the back of his mind before sealing the Lizard's cultivation. It was at that time he realized the Lizard was only trying to get him to leave soon.
Seeing the Lizard's reaction to him sealing its cultivation, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you think I would leave you like this without holding you somewhere?"
Seeing the look in the eyes of the Lizard, Grey almost burst into laughter. There were some cunning Magical Beasts, while there are the dull ones like this Lizard that thinks it's very smart.
"If I go to these places and do not find anything relating to everything you've told me, I'll come back and remove one of your legs, permanently." Grey released a bit of his aura and the Lizard knew he wasn't playing around.
Given Grey's cultivation stage, he could severely wound it and make sure the injury doesn't regrow. The place might heal, but there's zero chances of regrowing any part that is cut off.
The Lizard nodded, affirming that everything it told Grey was true.
Grey didn't hassle with it any longer and shot straight into the tribe. Without any hesitation, he headed for the nearest place. According to the Lizard, there are three places that possessed treasures in the outer region and they were all protected by a Ninth stage of the Seventh Rank. As long as Grey could take out these guards without alerting anyone, he could take all three treasures without having to worry about being caught.
As he moved to the first one, he was cautious, although he somewhat believed what the Lizard said, he wouldn't carelessly risk his life due to a statement of a Lizard that attacked a Dragon.
When he got to the location, he waited patiently as he studied the place. To his surprise, it was everything the Lizard described, not even a blade of grass was in the wrong location.
'It shouldn't be this accurate.'
Grey was taken aback by the Lizard's description. After a while, he followed the Lizard's instructions, of course, cautiously. In the end, he was able to accomplish the task.
The person guarding the place was a Ninth stage Rank Seven Lizard just like the Lizard described.
It was very easy for Grey to immobilize such a Magical Beast.
After taking what he needed, he took the Beast with him. Leaving it there might attract some unwanted attention, and he wanted to complete the process without having to worry about alerting the tribe.
The second place was the same, and it was finally time for the third place. Just like the description of the Lizard, it was also very accurate, nevertheless, during the last mission, something unexpected happened.
Just as Grey was about to take the last treasure, the other two he had in his possession left his spatial ring and merged with the last one that was hanging in the sky.
"Fuck! Don't tell me it didn't know about this?!" Grey was irate. He never expected something like this to happen, if not, he would've been prepared.
During this last phase, he tried to be extra cautious and search everywhere for any traps, but he never expected it to be something like this. What was annoying was the fact that the treasures were lighting up the entire area.
'Damn it!' He tried to hurriedly seal the area, but it was too late, some part of the treasure's aura had already seeped out.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the still merging treasures and disappeared, his target was somewhere unexpected
….
Deep in a cave, under a lake.
Grey appeared in the same cave he encountered Melmera.
This was the safest place he could come to with this thing still active. The distance and water should be able to help him out.
Not just that, but he instantly started working on it, and before long, he was able to contain the aura there.
He waited for a few minutes, and after being certain it was fine, he brought it out. He didn't go to the Lizard Tribe's region, rather, he went over to meet up with Void.
