"Ha!
How dare you! "
A cold shout rang out from one of the large carriages at the front of the group, and a grey figure shot out from within. It was also a lizardman.
This person was far taller than the others, and his head was round and his facial features were quite exquisite. He looked very much like a human, but his cheeks were covered in scales, and he was exuding an enormous aura, indicating that he had already reached the Grand Ascension Stage.
He waved a hand, and a dazzling grey light shot forth. It was a grey bone sword, and it pierced through the air toward one of the grey birds.
The grey bird was startled by this, and it immediately flapped its wings in an attempt to evade, but it was unable to completely evade. A long gash was left on its lower abdomen, and grey blood sprayed out as it let loose a hoarse cry of anguish.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three figures also flew out from the other large carriages, all of them exuding Body Integration Stage auras. They summoned all types of bone magic treasures and attacked the other grey birds.
These grey birds let loose ferocious cries, and they opened their mouths to blast grey blades of wind toward the lizardmen. At the same time, dazzling black light erupted from their sharp black claws as they swiped toward the bone magic treasures.
The two sides quickly clashed, and loud rumbling booms rang out.
The tribe down below fell into chaos again, and the grey deer fled in all directions in horror. The other lizardmen hurriedly gave chase, and with great difficulty, they led the deer away from the battlefield.
The battle in the air became more and more intense, and the lizardmen slowly fell into a disadvantageous position.
There were many grey birds, and most of them were at the Body Integration Stage. The Grand Ascension Stage lizardman was powerful, but he was currently being held back by three grey birds and couldn't spare any attention.
The other three lizardmen were clearly at a disadvantage against the four grey birds. If it weren't for the fact that one of the lizardmen possessed a grey bone shield that blocked most of the attacks from the four grey birds, one of them would've been injured long ago.
Even so, as time went on, the three lizardmen stood back to back, panting heavily, and it seemed that they wouldn't be able to last much longer.
"Tribe Leader, we're in trouble!"
The lizardman wielding the bone shield blocked a grey bird's claw projection, and his body trembled as he anxiously called out to the true immortal lizardman.
The tribe leader's eyes were filled with anxiety. He had naturally noticed the plight of his three tribesmen, but the three grey birds weren't much weaker than him, so he couldn't help them.
"Argh!"
A blood-curdling scream rang out as a lizardman was struck by a black claw projection in a moment of carelessness. Several long gashes appeared on his body as blood gushed out of his wounds. One of his arms was almost severed, leaving only a bit of skin and flesh attached to his body.
The lizardman was severely wounded, and his body was instantly sent flying, thereby nullified.
The lizardman's three, and of the lizardman's attack.
The Lizard Clan Patriarch was both shocked and angry. His eyes flashed and he suddenly opened his mouth to spit out a gray light that entered the gray bone sword.
The grey bone sword immediately spun around and emitted a bright light. It transformed into a huge grey ball of light that surged and flickered.
Waves of terrifying Sword Qi fluctuations spread out from within, and the nearby void also sizzled loudly, faintly rippling.
Seeing this, two of the three grey birds hurriedly flew away to avoid it.
However, the last bird flapped its wings, and its huge body transformed into a grey blur as it shot toward the lizardman leader. At the same time, it opened its mouth.
A sharp whistling sound rang out as a puff of pitch-black light shot out towards the Lizard Tribe Chief like a torrential rain.
The lizardman leader was alarmed, and he hurriedly made a hand seal.
The ball of grey light suddenly exploded, and countless slender grey sword beams shot out from it, shooting in all directions, and instantly enveloping an area with a radius of several thousand feet.
A bloodcurdling scream sounded, and it immediately disappeared.
A mangled corpse fell from the sky; it was none other than the grey bird.
Its entire body had been pierced by countless sword projections, and there wasn't a single part of its body that wasn't damaged.
However, the lizardman leader also staggered back, and the left half of his body was also riddled with small black holes. Wisps of black Qi spread out from these holes and spread to the rest of his body.
Before he could treat his injuries, two grey shadows pounced on him like lightning. They were the two grey birds that had dodged earlier.
The lizardman leader was startled, and he hastily tried to circulate the evil energy in his body. However, half of his body was numb, and the circulation of his evil energy was greatly affected. He couldn't circulate much evil energy, and his expression changed drastically.
The two grey shadows arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, and four pitch-black claws swiped down at lightning speed.
The surrounding lizardman clansmen turned pale with fright when they saw this scene. If the patriarch were to meet with misfortune, it would be a disaster for the entire tribe!
At this critical moment, a grey light fell from the sky, and with a "puchi" sound, it easily pierced through the two grey birds.
In the next moment, the grey light suddenly brightened, and released tiny grey streaks.
The bodies of the two grey birds were instantly turned into minced meat, and they didn't even have the time to wail.
Almost at the same time, a black light also flashed above the other three lizardmen, and a black flying sword appeared out of thin air. It blossomed with black sword light, and wrapped around the bodies of the five grey birds.
The black sword light flashed, and the bodies of the five grey birds were chopped into several pieces, and they didn't have the slightest aura left.
The four lizardmen were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
Right at this moment, two figures appeared out of thin air and slowly descended from the sky. They were none other than Han Li and Shi Chuankong.
When the lizardman leader saw the appearance of Han Li and Shi Chuankong, his expression immediately changed, and he hastily flew over.
"Many thanks for saving our Grey Lizardman Clan," the patriarch respectfully saluted them.
The three lizardmen also flew over, and bowed to express their gratitude. They looked at the two people with eyes full of longing and awe.
"It's nothing much. You don't have to be so polite. Get up," Han Li and Shi Chuankong exchanged glances and said lightly.
Only then did the Gray Lizard Patriarch and the others stand up and move to the side. They didn't say anything as if they were listening to his teachings.
Han Li was rather perplexed at the sight of them, and he carefully chose his words before replying, "The two of us were wandering around here, but we encountered a massive storm a few days ago and lost our way. We don't know where we are."
A few days ago, they had indeed encountered a rather large gray storm. Even with their strength, it took some effort for them to break free.
"Ascendant Immortal, this is the northwestern part of the June Grassland. The two Ascendant Immortals must have encountered a storm. It is a grey tide unique to this place," the Grey Lizard Clan Leader said respectfully.
"The grey tide… so that's how it is." Han Li muttered to himself.
"Exalted Immortals, you must be tired from your journey. If you don't mind, why don't you come to our Grey Lizard Tribe for a while?
Although the Gray Lizard Tribe isn't big, their specialty, the White Velvet Tea, is quite unique. "The chief of the Gray Lizard Tribe glanced at the two of them. Seeing their travel-worn faces, he cautiously said.
"That's fine."
Han Li and the others wanted to interact more with the Grey Lizard Tribe and understand the situation of the Dust World, so they naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Ascendant Immortals, please." The chief of the Gray Lizard Tribe was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly led the way and quickly landed.
Seeing Han Li and Shi Chuang Kong, the Grey Lizard Tribe members on the ground also revealed expressions of reverence. They all knelt down and respectfully saluted.
Seeing this scene, Han Li felt that it was strange.
Although his cultivation was high, these Grey Lizard Tribe members seemed to be a bit too respectful. This kind of feeling was like a beggar seeing an emperor.
Although he felt that it was strange, he didn't show it on his face.
The Grey Deer Herd at the back of the caravan was still fleeing in all directions due to their fright. They were not completely under control, causing the caravan to look a bit chaotic.
"Quickly take care of these deer. Don't let the two Ascendant Immortals see us as a joke. Notify the others to set up camp here today." The Grey Lizard Tribe leader's expression sank as he shouted.
"Yes." A Form Synthesis Stage Grey Lizard Tribe member beside him quickly replied and flew toward the deer herd at the back.
"Ascendant Immortals, please take a seat inside the tent." The Grey Lizard Tribe leader led Han Li and Shi Chuang Kong to the cart at the very front.
The cart was a hundred zhang long and twenty to thirty zhang wide. It was almost the size of a small plaza. More than ten large tents had been set up on the cart.
The bottom and edges of the cart were engraved with a circle of greyish black runes that formed a magic formation. As it operated, it continuously spouted out grey clouds that faintly supported the entire cart.
Han Li landed on the cart and felt as if he was standing on a cloud. He couldn't help but secretly nod his head.
It was no wonder that this cart was so big that it could be easily moved by a rhinoceros beast.
The Grey Lizard Tribe leader brought the two of them to the front of the largest tent. Han Li didn't delay and walked in first.
Shi Chuang Kong followed behind Han Li. He knew that his change in aura wasn't perfect, so he didn't want to attract other people's attention as much as possible. Everything was handled by Han Li, and he wasn't satisfied with this arrangement.
The space inside the tent was quite big. It was divided into two parts. The front part was a living room with a long table in the center. There were animal skin cushions on both sides.
The back of the tent seemed to be a resting room that was separated by a thick curtain.
It was unknown what material this tent was made of. After entering, all the sounds outside disappeared without a trace.
"Two Ascendant Immortals, please take a seat." The Grey Lizard Tribe leader invited Han Li and Shi Chuang Kong to sit at the front of the long table while he sat beside them.
A Grey Lizard Tribe member who looked like an attendant walked in at this moment and brought over three antler cups that were filled with white tea.
Wisps of white mist rose from the cups and emitted a faint fragrance.
"This White Antler Tea is made from our Grey Lizard Tribe's specialty, the Coral Antler Deer's antler, deer milk, and a dozen other ingredients. It is also useful for improving one's cultivation.
Naturally, with two Ascendant Immortals' cultivation, this tea is naturally useless. However, the taste is not bad. Please have a taste. "The Grey Lizard Tribe leader said in a flattering manner.
"It's really not bad." Han Li took a sip and nodded his head.
In truth, after drinking the tea, he did not swallow it and instead stored it in his Flower Branch Space.
After coming to the Dust World, he was very careful with everything.
Seeing this, the Grey Lizard Tribe leader was happy. He immediately ordered his attendant to bring some delicacies, fruits, and other specialties of the Grey Lizard Tribe and invited Han Li and Shi Chuang Kong to taste.
