Perhaps from the very beginning, Dean McKenzie had wanted to kill them, but he simply could not find a valid reason convincing enough for him to make his move. However, the current living conditions of the ordinary people in the Giant Lizard Tribe seemed to serve as a reasonable excuse. With that, Dean didn’t hesitate to deliver the killing blow.
Regardless, the outcome was highly favorable for Dean McKenzie.
With little effort, he completely conquered the Giant Lizard Tribe.
The fate of the Giant Lizard Tribe served as a stark reminder to Dean who held the power of execution in this new world.[/p]
“No matter what happens in the future, I must never surrender nor relinquish my control over my own survival to the enemy.”
“That would only reduce me to a lamb for the slaughter in the enemy’s hands!”
Indeed, learning life lessons with the lives of others.
Lucky for them, they were already dead, or they might have wanted to curse him from the afterlife!
Thanks to having fifth-turn skeletons on McKenzie’s side, as well as having Old Six, an expert in dismantling settlements, they achieved this with high efficiency.
The speed of their dismantling was impressive.
In just one day, Dean successfully cleaned up the tribe, a place that once housed twenty thousand inhabitants and over a thousand buildings.
Even the floors were uprooted and taken away.
All assets of the Giant Lizard Tribe were naturally taken away by Dean.
Concurrently, Dean found the goods he had looted earlier as well as the impressive plunder from the Giant Serpent Tribe.
The goods were directly taken by him, as for the loot?
The moment he found it, Old Eight knocked it unconscious.
Dean didn’t plan to let them go so easily—he intended to make sure they “escaped”.
After all, he was in the Southern Barbarian region, under the control of the Giant Bear Tribe.
If he were to blatantly destroy a tribe, the Giant Bear Tribe would undoubtedly retaliate against him.
Although Dean wasn’t afraid, he wanted to avoid trouble when he could.
Therefore, he would keep his identity hidden as much as possible.
Concerning the issue of 20,000 fifth-turn skeleton soldiers being summoned to do work?
Please, Dean was only a fourth-turn Wraith Controller. How could it be possible for the Giant Bear Tribe to link him with the power to summon a fifth-turn skeleton army?
Unless there was concrete evidence, Dean doubted that the Giant Bear Tribe would look for trouble with him non-stop.
After a day of intense dismantling, only two structures remained.
One was the Intermediate 2-star Promotion Altar, and the other was a massive totem located deep within the territory of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
This huge stone pillar totem was one of Dean’s objectives for his trip.
Upon arrival, Dean directly cast an Appraisal Skill, revealing the attributes of the stone pillar totem right before his eyes.
Name: Giant Lizard Inheritance Totem
Category: Secret Realm Inheritance Items
Description: For 1,000 gold coins, those of the Giant Lizard profession can activate this totem and begin the Giant Lizard heritage trial. Upon completion of the trial, they can get the Giant Lizard Inheritance, which includes but not limited to the “Giant Lizard Power”.
Ps: This is also an unconventional Secret Realm Crystal. You can try to assimilate it into your realm.
Fusion method: Spend 500 purple gold coins to activate the fusion trial. If you pass the trial, this item will merge into your realm.
Pss: Initiating the fusion trial would mean facing an extraordinary-level seventh-turn opponent 100% of the time!
“An extraordinary-level seventh-turn opponent?”
Seeing this attribute, Dean’s initial enthusiasm instantly cooled down.
He was well aware of the formidable extraordinary templates.
After all, he owned one!
At the same time, Dean was explicitly aware of his current strength. He had the power, but to pit him against a seventh-turn extraordinary creature was indeed too much to ask.
Even a sixth-turn extraordinary creature would not be an easy feat right now.
Thus, for the time being, the fusion trial had to be shelved.
As for the actual trial?
It was also currently out of the question. Initiating a trial required one to belong to the Giant Lizard Profession, a condition none under Dean’s command currently fulfilled. Naturally, with no one eligible for the trial that would cost 1,000 gold coins each time, there was no way to initiate it.
This certainly dampened Dean’s spirits.
The [Promotion Altar] could not be entered, and this totem pole couldn’t be taken up either. It was no wonder Dean McKenzie was in a bad mood!
Just as Dean was brooding over this, Old Six, his eyes flickering with Pupil Fire, walked over to the totem pole and gently tapped the stone platform beneath it with his claw.
Dean didn’t hear anything unusual about the sound, but Old Six’s eyes instantly brightened when he heard it. Immediately, he called Doggy Two and the Skeleton Giant Warrior over to start digging.
Seeing this, Dean’s attention was immediately drawn to Old Six.
He was very curious as to what Old Six was planning to do.
Before long, Dean saw that the stone platform under the totem pole had been dug out, revealing a small secret chamber.
Dean could see at a glance that in the secret chamber were many objects radiating with a golden glow. He was both shocked and delighted: “A hidden chamber after all?
I wondered why, after clearing out the entire Giant Lizard Tribe, I found less than ten thousand gold coins and not a single good item; they had all been hidden here!”
Let me have a look to see what good things are hidden inside…”
Before Dean could finish speaking, Old Six had already gone in first.
As soon as Old Six entered, he tossed out all the items inside as if they were just trash.
Gold Coins? Toss!
[Secret Realm Crystal]? Toss!
Purple gold coin? Toss!
Skill Book? Toss!
Soon, Old Six had cleared out the secret chamber and was sitting inside, his eyes flickering with Pupil Fire as he examined the structure of the chamber.
What could Dean say about Old Six’s behavior?
As the only Architect Master in their family, and one who could create the [Bone Tomb] and [Bone Prison], Old Six was treated with great respect among them.
Especially when he was studying architecture, Dean wouldn’t disturb him.
As for the things scattered all over the ground?
Neither Dean nor any other skeleton needed to do this; Old Eight, the professional flatterer of the McKenzie family, emerged and hurriedly picked up the items, presenting them to Dean one by one.
It was fortunate that Old Eight didn’t have a tail. If he did, he would no doubt be wagging it like a propeller and taking off into the sky.
Dean carelessly patted Old Eight’s skull, half-heartedly expressing his appreciation, before focusing on the objects in Old Eight’s hand.
Indeed, as the treasury of the Giant Lizard Tribe, the secret chamber contained the tribe’s wealth accumulated over decades, if not centuries.
The resources there were quite substantial with as many as 67 [Secret Realm Crystals],
One hundred thousand Gold coins and 120 Purple Gold coins!
Two fifth-turn skill books, one of which was the knight skill [Final Strike], The other one was the Mage skill [Great Thunderstorm Technique],
Dean immediately gave the knight skill book to Old Eight.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t use the [Great Thunderstorm Technique], as the Mages in his group were all Skeleton Mages, incapable of using this skill.
In addition to these items, there were three sixth-turn Gold-quality weapons.
A Knight’s lance, a dagger, and a bow.
No one in Dean’s group could utilize them, since none of them had reached the sixth-turn.
They had to be put away for now.
Finally, there were two items that made Dean the most delighted.
Either one of these objects was extremely important for Dean McKenzie.
There were a total of 6 high-quality Talent Stones.
Having previously acquired 3, adding these 6, Dean was now just one stone short of upgrading his talent!
Besides these items, Dean also noticed a familiar-looking scroll.
At first, Dean thought it was a [Secret Realm Modification Scroll]. Upon a closer look, however, he found that it was a [Secret Realm Plunder Scroll]!
Name: Secret Realm Plunder Scroll
Description: Special item that can be used in tandem with entering replicas. After clearing the replica, you can plunder the power of the replica’s Secret Realm based on the assessment, and enhance your own Portable Secret Realm.
Usage condition: Must possess a Portable Secret Realm
Appraisal Skill Result: Although it is a one-time-use item, it might grant you more than one benefit!
Looking at the result in front of him, Dean’s eyes couldn’t help narrowing.
“Maybe, I should trigger the ‘Goblin Rising’ replica!”
