Li Zhen quickly integrated into the Lizardman tribe and even gave the Lizard Tribe’s female chief a name—Medusa.
Yes, the Lizardman female chief had no name before, and neither did the other Lizardmen.
Medusa was the first Lizardman to have a name.
“Happy.”
Medusa was very happy with the name Li Zhen had given her.
As they spent more time together, Li Zhen discovered that Medusa was very innocent, just like a naive little girl. Every day, she followed behind Li Zhen, tugging at him and asking about everything under the sun, brimming with curiosity.
He also discovered that Medusa was extremely intelligent. She could immediately remember anything he taught her once.
For example, she had now learned how to make fire by drilling wood. Under Li Zhen’s guidance, she overcame her instinctive fear of flames and could now make fire by herself.
Li Zhen began teaching Medusa mathematics, starting with the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. After all, apart from language and writing, mathematics was the foundation of civilization.
The Lizardmen, however, clearly did not place as much importance on language and writing.
Medusa had excellent comprehension and learned very quickly.
Time passed as Li Zhen taught and Medusa learned.
To give the Lizardmen a good Environment for survival, Li Zhen began thoroughly clearing the area around the Lizardman tribe.
Calling it clearing was actually an understatement. It was a massacre.
Tarbosaurs, Southern Giant Carnivorous Dinosaurs, Spinosauri, Barbarians, Mapusaurs, Kwanzaurs, Allosaurs, and Lizard Kings—all these Carnivorous Dinosaurs actually lived around the Lizardmen.
Li Zhen could not imagine how these Lizardmen had survived before.
There was nothing to say about these potential threats. Kill them all.
Li Zhen certainly would not be soft-hearted about this.
The Lizardmen’s Lives were connected to his Mission, so he could not afford the slightest carelessness.
Using Lightning-fast methods, he completely swept away all the Carnivorous Dinosaurs within a hundred miles.
Killing so many dinosaurs made the Lizardmen incredibly happy. They had meat to eat every day.
The Lizardmen looked at Li Zhen with increasing respect, and even a trace of fear.
Only Medusa’s gaze toward Li Zhen never changed. Her eyes had begun to contain a kind of adoration.
“Dig everything up here.”
From that day onward, Li Zhen organized them in a massive construction project.
First, they dug a deep trench around the tribe. It had to be ten meters deep and five meters wide.
“All right.”
Although it was a massive project, Medusa did not object.
Li Zhen also felled Huge trees one after another and surrounded the entire tribe with them.
Each of these trees was twenty meters tall and roughly two meters in diameter. They were incredibly heavy, so naturally, only Li Zhen could handle this dirty, exhausting work.
The Lizardmen and Li Zhen worked separately.
It took more than two months to complete the work.
During those two months, Li Zhen witnessed new Life being born in the Lizardman tribe.
Interestingly, the Lizardmen had two methods of reproduction. One was the union of males and females, while the other involved hermaphrodites reproducing alone. Regardless of the method, they reproduced by laying eggs.
“Doesn’t this count as completing the Mission?”
He felt somewhat Doubtful.
In theory, he had already protected the Lizardmen and witnessed the birth of new Lizardman Life. He did not know why this still did not count as completing the Mission.
Could it be that he had to wait until the Lizardmen had reproduced in large numbers before the Mission would be considered complete?
Although he was not entirely sure, Li Zhen continued diligently teaching the Lizardmen. He also taught them to make tools, such as the Bow and Arrow and slingshots.
“Next month, I’ll see if I can find Sulfur and saltpeter. If we can make Gunpowder, they’ll be truly safe.” Li Zhen made plans.
Apart from Gunpowder, iron smelting also had to be arranged.
Smelting ore and forging metal were the foundation of civilized development.
During those two-plus months, with Li Zhen’s Existence, the Lizardmen lived peacefully. Even if a reckless dinosaur accidentally wandered in, Li Zhen would casually beat it to death.
“They’re dead.”
At this moment, Medusa said sadly to Li Zhen.
It turned out to be the three Tyrannosaurus Rexes.
They had not been successfully tamed and had instead starved to death.
“It’s all right. Although the Tyrannosaurus Rexes were not successfully tamed, the Triceratops were.” Li Zhen consoled her.
When he went out to clear the Surroundings, he also encountered Triceratops. However, he generally did not choose to Kill them. Instead, he brought them back for Medusa and the others to tame.
Triceratops had gentle temperaments and were herbivores. So far, another five had been tamed.
If Triceratops were properly tamed, they could completely be developed into livestock. In the future, they would no longer have to worry about running out of meat.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, just as Li Zhen was taking Medusa out on patrol, an accident occurred.
Boom.
A Powerful energy attack landed directly ten meters away from Li Zhen and Medusa, creating a two-meter-diameter crater.
This frightened Medusa badly, and she Immediately hid behind Li Zhen.
Li Zhen looked up and saw a figure flying through the sky.
That’s right, it was a person!
No, not entirely Human. It merely had a human form.
The other party was a man more than two meters tall, a Baldy with an Entire Body of blue skin and tremendously defined muscles. The muscles on his body looked like slabs of cracked, hardened Earth.
Then, he saw a black mark on the other party’s body. The mark flashed and disappeared.
This scene involuntarily reminded Li Zhen of the first time he had seen Kaister. At that time, there had been a green mark on Kaister’s body.
【Life Destroyer discovered】
The System issued a prompt.
“Hmm?”
What kind of title was this? It was actually the opposite of his own.
Could it be meant literally—that he specifically Destroyed Life?
Before Li Zhen could feel surprised, the other party had already arrived above them.
“Life Protector, take good care of your little Lizard, all right? I’m a Life Destroyer. If I accidentally Kill them, don’t blame me.”
The other party teased him.
Hearing the other party speak as if they were old acquaintances, Li Zhen felt somewhat tense.
Ding.
At this moment, the System sent a Message.
【Camilo requests to add you as a friend. Accept?】
Li Zhen felt Doubtful, but he still chose to accept.
“So you’re only a Level 3 weakling. Hahahaha.”
“Fend for yourself.”
“If your Mission fails, that’s not my problem.”
Camilo looked at Li Zhen as if he were an insignificant character, not taking him seriously at all. After speaking, he flew away.
Watching Camilo fly away, Li Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was not that he deliberately wanted to be so tense. The feeling the other party gave him was simply too Powerful. His sixth sense was now extremely strong, and the instant he saw the other party, it was like an ordinary person seeing a tiger. His biological instincts frantically reminded him that the other party was dangerous and that he had to leave immediately.
Li Zhen looked toward his Panel.
He discovered that, apart from his original friend Kaister, he now had another friend, Camilo.
【Kaister: Level 2 Life Protector】
【Camilo: Level 7 Life Destroyer】
Good grief, the other party was not only some so-called Life Destroyer, but his Level had actually reached Level 7.
He was only Level 3, while the other party was already Level 7.
No wonder he had inexplicably felt afraid.
“What did he mean by what he just said?”
Li Zhen recalled Camilo’s words and could not help pondering them.
Life Destroyer.
Could the other party’s Mission here be to Destroy the Life on this Planet?
That was it.
Just as his Mission as a Life Protector was to protect Life, the other party’s Mission here had to be to Destroy Life.
However, their titles were quite similar, and the System could even add the other party as a friend. It seemed like two different departments within a company, with the two departments simply handling different matters.
He felt that the organization he had joined was becoming increasingly mysterious.
“Xiao Sha, let’s go back.”
Li Zhen did not dare linger here and immediately carried Medusa on his back toward the tribe.
Li Zhen’s guess was correct.
Just after he returned to the tribe with Medusa, he felt the ground shake violently, like an earthquake.
Then, only a few seconds later, a Huge sound came from the west.
Rumble.
The Surroundings shook the earth and mountains, trembling violently.
This situation left the Lizardmen panicked and helpless, their faces filled with fear.
“Zhen, what happened?”
Medusa tightly gripped Li Zhen’s hand, her face equally frightened.
“I’ll go up and take a look.”
Li Zhen patted Medusa’s head, then flew into the air alone.
When he reached an altitude of ten thousand meters, he finally saw clearly what had happened.
Several hundred kilometers away, Huge amounts of magma were erupting from beneath the Earth.
A Huge mushroom cloud slowly blossomed in the sky. The cloud was incomparably massive and had already churned through the clouds at an altitude of ten thousand meters.
Red magma gushed from underground and continuously sprayed in all directions. Its power was Huge, and it was extremely violent.
Thick, roiling smoke filled the sky.
Red magma covered the land everywhere.
“Has a volcano erupted?”
That was Li Zhen’s first thought upon seeing this scene.
This is bad.
The volcanic eruption is far too close to here.
Being so close to the Lizardman tribe, it will cause extremely serious pollution in this area.
“It’s him!”
Li Zhen suddenly saw Camilo in the air above the volcano’s crater.
Camilo seemed to notice Li Zhen’s gaze as well. He gave Li Zhen an evil smile, then extended one finger. Energy began rapidly accumulating at its tip.
When the energy ball had accumulated to the size of a basketball, he gently waved his hand, and the energy ball fell toward a spot on the ground.
The energy ball soon landed on the ground.
As the energy ball made contact with the ground—
Boom!
A violent explosion occurred in an instant.
The Powerful energy split the Earth open, causing new magma to gush out from underground.
“So he was responsible for all of this.”
“This is what he meant by telling me to fend for myself.”
Looking at this terrifying scene, Li Zhen could not help feeling extremely shocked.
Such a terrifying disaster had actually been caused by the other party with a casual gesture.
The way the other party used that energy ball involuntarily reminded Li Zhen of scenes from the anime Dragon Ball.
So people this Powerful truly existed in reality.
Li Zhen saw many dinosaurs die one after another beneath the other party’s Powerful attack.
“What an amazing Life Destroyer.”
“Is this the power of Level 7?”
