The vast lizard swamp is actually a huge basin. Due to the low-lying terrain, during the rainy season, the amount of Jinshui River rises sharply, the river flows into the basin, forming lakes connected in size, and countless low hills become dense islands.


    In the fourth month of the water season, the world is snowing, the temperature drops to freezing point, and the lizard swamp has become a world covered with ice and snow. At this time, the aborigines in the swamp will hide in their nests and quietly wait for the arrival of the land season. This is the quietest time of the year in the Everglades.


    At this time, there was a fierce battle in full swing in the depths of the swamp.


    "Roar!"


    The fierce roar of the swamp dragon lizard shattered the tranquility within a ten mile radius. The nearby swamp aborigines woke up one after another. They didn''t climb out curiously. Instead, they hid deeply in the nest without showing any breath.


    Every swamp dragon lizard is a ferocious beast. The strong body gives them outrageous strength, amazing agility and terrible physical strength. The extraordinary regenerative racial talent and the wild intuition of ferocious animals make these ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts one of the top predators in the Everglades.


    Although the swamp dragon lizard is strong and fierce, it is not enough to let other top predators retreat. Especially in the water season when food is scarce, any bloody killing will attract the greedy eyes of coveters. Poor and huge beasts like six legged crocodiles and giant beetles don''t care who is hunting. They just want to take a share. As for those snake demons that move in groups, swamp dragon lizards will run away when they see them.


    However, the roar of the swamp dragon lizard continued to rise and fall. Two quarters of an hour later, no beast broke into the battlefield. This is because the roar is a huge beast with a body length of more than 19 meters. The giant beast is four times larger than the ordinary dragon lizard. Its columnar limbs alone are three meters high. When it stands completely, its shoulders are five meters off the ground. Its ferocious claws can easily hold down hundreds of pounds of capybara. Its swarthy scales with metallic luster are the size of a child''s palm, And the huge head and the big mouth full of sharp teeth can completely devour an adult.


    Its huge size, two ferocious heads, and thorny tail all indicate that it is an alienated swamp dragon lizard. It is itugos, which is called the giant beast in the water by the lizard people.


    Itugos is the overlord in this area, and the fierce predators within 400 kilometers have long been slaughtered.


    The nearby swamp residents have not heard the roar of itugos battle for a long time. It must be a terrible guy who can make the overlord beast so manic. Both intelligent lizards and cautious and timid beasts have a wise choice to hide themselves. The unlucky ghosts affected by the battle found before their death that they were fighting a group of strange creatures they had never seen before.


    They walk upright like lizards. They are short and can''t even touch the belly of giant animals. They have no tail, scales, sharp teeth and claws. These seemingly weak and delicious little guys made the overlord roar and embarrassed, and the thick tail was tightly clamped under the belly, which was particularly funny.


    "Ow!"


    Itugos roared again, and his ferocious claws beat hard at a small thing that annoyed him. However, the little thing slipped several meters away like a sturgeon in the water, pressed its huge claws heavily on the open space, grabbed hundreds of pounds of snow and ice mixed mud, and smashed it against the cunning creatures.


    Throwing the opponent with soil is no longer a means of beasts. The four yellowish brown vertical pupils of itugos show anger, tension, anxiety and anxiety from time to time. It is hard to imagine that a bloodthirsty alienated beast can express such a rich humanized expression.


    The mud and ice are fanned and sprinkled with five agile little things. These sharp shooting mud and snowflakes have the effect of shielding the field of vision and slowing down the speed, and the ice with strong kinetic energy is enough to kill the strongest capybara. But itugos knew that this attack must be futile. Five little things turned around and moved sensitively to avoid the roaring ice, but they were inevitably hit by the mud. This is the opportunity that itugos painstakingly created.


    "Ang!"


    In the roar of heart breaking and gall breaking, the giant beast took a step fiercely. One huge head spewed out a strong air flow close to the ground, and the other head held high. The next moment, it was going to launch lightning bite!


    Throwing mud slows down the enemy''s speed, roars bravely, frightens the enemy''s actions, spits air currents, destroys the enemy''s balance, and lightning bites and ends the enemy''s life. This whole set of tactics was only to kill one enemy. Although there were dozens of such enemies, itugos failed.


    "Poof!" "Whoosh!"


    The thick and thin crossbow arrow of the pigeon egg was fiercely pierced on the raised head of itugos, and the sad sound of breaking the air came. The pain like acupuncture made the giant beast furious, and the lightning bite was interrupted by the monster''s violent instinct.


    "Yes!"


    On the island a few kilometers away, the wizard imosen snorted, and the sudden stabbing pain made the red Rune aura slightly scattered. He endured the sharp pain of a needle in his cheek and tried to keep the red Rune running. In the void 10 cm away from his face, the mysterious fiery red Rune returned to stability and turned slowly in a mysterious way.


    At the same time, itugos stopped chasing the culprit who hurt him, raised his head and searched for the kidnapped little master. When it saw that the enemy holding the little master was running away, it strode to catch up, and the surrounding enemies followed it around and harassed it.


    Not lost!


    The wizard imosen breathed a sigh of relief, and the tingling on his cheek disappeared. It was obvious that itugos squeezed out the crossbow arrow on his face with strong muscles. In a few breaths, the insignificant wound healed. But the sharp pain in the chrysanthemum became more and more intense, and imosen''s face was painful and deformed, which was the negative effect of witchcraft - wisdom guidance.


    Strong fatherly love overcame unbearable pain. Imosen chased the figure of his beloved daughter through the eyes of itugos. At the same time, he also observed these powerful humans and kept thinking about the ways to rescue bell in his mind.


    In order to escape the pursuit of the shining church, imosen has sneaked into the Everglades with bell for 11 years. He survived in the dangerous lizard swamp by relying on his will and the witchcraft of alienated creatures.


    At first, imosen alienated dozens of mice as bodyguards and lived a very difficult life until he successfully alienated a swamp dragon lizard and took it as the main breeding object. In the nourishment of flesh and blood, the swamp dragon lizard quickly grew into a two headed dissimilated dragon lizard. Imosen named it Philip, while the lizard called it a giant beast in the water: itugos.


    The powerful itugos helped father and daughter open up a territory of 400 square kilometers and occupy a place in the Everglades. With the deterrence of itugos, the half dragon tribe no longer invaded the imosen father and daughter, and the two sides established a cold coexistence relationship. The half dragon people are ferocious and savage, but they are intelligent species after all. With the in-depth exchanges between the two sides and mutual benefit, the life of the imosen father and daughter has gradually stabilized, and the living materials have been enriched a lot.


    The stable life made imosen relax his vigilance. Bell ran out to play for longer and farther. Something finally happened today.


    This morning, bell went out to play with ten alienated rats and didn''t come back until noon. Imosen wasn''t worried at that time. The beast with a radius of 20 kilometers was either eaten by Philip or escaped. Only ten alienated rats can ensure Bell''s safety. However, when the soul connection of the alienated mouse was interrupted, Emerson knew that bell was in danger.


    Emerson quickly summoned Philip and showed his wisdom to rescue bell.


    Wisdom guidance makes Emerson''s soul fit with Philip. He can observe the external situation and guide Philip''s actions through Philip''s perception, and all Philip''s feelings are projected on him.


    Philip''s size was huge, his strength was not many times stronger than that of the ordinary dragon lizard, but his sensitivity inevitably decreased a little, but he walked very far at every step. When he ran with all his strength, he soon arrived at the place of the incident, but in this short half an hour, all ten heterologous rats were killed.


    The frightened imosen saw a group of fully armed human soldiers and a group of ferocious wolves. It was they who killed all the alienated mice. Fortunately, they didn''t hurt bell, but retreated quickly with her. From the direction of their escape, it seemed that they knew Philip was coming.


    Imosen couldn''t help thinking. What he hated most was the villain who tried to abduct bell. Philip pounced on him under his guidance, and the battle broke out.


    The strong combat effectiveness of these soldiers startled imosen. In the face of the terrible double headed alienated dragon lizard, they were not afraid at all. Their agile action was beyond ordinary people. While avoiding the attack, they also fought back with their strong crossbow. Even if their crossbow arrows were almost ineffective against Philip, they did not stop the seemingly useless attack.


    Imosen was not an inexperienced farmer. He was a vassal of the Greer family and the Baron''s hunting manager before he fled. The combat effectiveness of these people was far better than that of ordinary soldiers. Imosen felt that they were at least trainee knights, if not knights. However, the Greer family didn''t even have a formal knight, only two trainee knights. The two apprentice knights are rare to see at ordinary times. When imosen occasionally sees them, they are all hugging forward and backward, high toed and high spirited, and there are 47 people here!


    What is the concept of 47 trainee knights? Imosen didn''t even think about it. He only knew that the trainee knight was a great man with noble status and was always surrounded by guards. How could he go deep into the swamp and do human trafficking? 47 at a time?


    Later, imosen found more strange things. These people were more flexible than apes and could always avoid Philip''s claw and bite at the critical moment. Maybe the trainee knight has this ability, but he can''t do it!


    Philip''s huge size and ferocious breath are enough to frighten the weak creature. When it roars bravely, even the ogre will panic.


    When Philip attacked the ogre camp and tore up two adult ogres, the ogre leader fought with it. The ogre leader rolled all over the ground by Philip and went straight into a state of rage. He split Philip''s flesh with an obsidian axe, causing several terrible wounds. But the strong regeneration ability of the Allosaurus made him despair. Finally, the scarred ogre leader retreated with the tribe members, and Philip''s roar of terror filled the sky.


    That war established Philip''s supremacy, and the half dragon tribe respected him as itugos.


    Philip''s fearless roar has a deterrent effect on low-level creatures. They will become soft and unable to move, which is derived from the fear of life instinct. In this state, how much combat power can trainee Knights play? If you hesitate, Philip will make meat sauce. However, these human soldiers were completely immune to Philip''s bold roar, gave full play to their 100% combat effectiveness, and calmly fought between life and death.


    In fact, Emerson suspected that these soldiers were not human at all!


    The two headed dragon lizard looks clumsy and has the ability to attack quickly. Tail strike and lightning bite kill these sensitive soldiers many times. Philip launched lightning bite and successfully picked up two enemies. The two soldiers who had been bitten off had stabbed Philip''s tongue with a dagger in his mouth!


    Until now, imosen''s tongue still hurts, and these fearless and painless soldiers make him shudder.


    There is no fear, no pain, and strong combat power, which makes imosen feel terrible. Philip will always kill them all, but their wisdom makes imosen tremble.


    Philip''s tail was swifter than lightning bite. It broke three enemies. But the soldiers also seized the opportunity and shot Philip''s back door with a bow and crossbow! The crossbow arrows had no effect on Philip''s body, but they could shoot into the soft chrysanthemum. Philip could squeeze out these crossbow arrows, but several more came in before one was squeezed out


    The extreme pain almost interrupted the guidance of wisdom. Imosen clamped his ass, endured the severe pain, and guided Philip to pick up his tail. Naturally, the tail can''t be used. The soldiers also found a way to deal with lightning bite. They had three terrible heavy crossbows, which were enough to shoot through Philip''s scale armor to interrupt Philip''s attack. Emerson tried to guide Philip to destroy those heavy crossbows, but they all failed. The dozens of soldiers cooperated with each other and threw strong crossbows around, making Philip unable to lower his claws.


    Fortunately, these "trainee knights" had no way to take Philip, but just ran away. Although Philip could catch up with the man who kidnapped bell, his huge body became an obstacle to the rescue of bell. You can''t even catch bell?


    Emerson sent out all the alienated mice. They''re all dead! Die under the mouth of those fierce wolves! Imosen regretted that he should have cultivated more alienated mice if he had known so.


    Absorbing flesh and blood is a dissimilated biological instinct. The more flesh and blood he ate, the higher the degree of dissimilated biological variation. Therefore, imosen could not afford to raise too many dissimilated mice at all. After having the swamp dragon lizard, he deliberately sacrificed half of the dissimilated mice in order to focus on cultivating Philip. There are less than 20 alienated mice left. Imosen usually let them sleep underground and let them eat every three days, which also reduces the combat effectiveness of alienated mice to the lowest point. Otherwise, it will not be easily bitten to death by fierce wolves.


    The battle between Philip and these "trainee knights" is like a bear fighting a wild bee. No one can do anything. The situation is so deadlocked.


    Now the only way is to drag these soldiers down alive with Philip''s abnormal physical strength And don''t push too hard lest they hurt bell.


    Just as Emerson was planning his strategy, a cold dagger lay on his neck.


    "Wild mage! You are attacking the logistics system of the Empire. According to the military regulations of the Empire, I order you to stop the attack and wait for the master''s trial!"


    The sharp cold on the throat and the indifferent and heartless voice made imosen''s heart sink to the bottom of the valley.


    "Sear, I think you should be trained by instructor Barrett. In this case... That''s what you should do!"


    "Bang!"


    The root behind the ear was hit hard, and imosen''s eyes were black. Before he lost it completely, he saw the rune aura turn into a little brilliance and dissipate in the air.


    finished!


    At this moment, the beast itugos is free! It put down its tail and roared towards the guy who had just hurt it. The monkey militia turned and ran away. Several war mastiffs also chased after it. The deafening roar gradually disappeared, and other militia quickly evacuated eastward with bell.
