Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 61 Lizardman Camp

The giant trees in the mountains and forests block out the sun, and there is no light even during the day.

This is also the reason why vampires like to build castles in the mountains and forests.

There are always various photophobic creatures hidden in the dense jungle.

In addition to the vampires, there may also be necromancers and liches. In short, they are all evil creatures in the human concept.

Don't enter the forest. This is also a wise saying in the fantasy world, because entering an unfamiliar jungle is like opening a blind box. You never know what is waiting for you inside.

Even if they are not evil creatures, they could be the xenophobic green elf tribe or the naturalistic druids living in seclusion in the mountains.

If you don't handle these beings well, you might be greeted by the sharp arrows of the green elves and the claws of the druids.

Of course, in the wilderness and mountains, beastmen are one of the special species that must be tasted. These seemingly unintelligent wild creatures don't mind enjoying a delicious takeout meal.

"Roar!"

Roaring sounds came one after another. As they went deeper into the forest, Karen and Granny encountered more and more ferocious beasts.

However, under the influence of the powerful pressure emanating from Karen, no wild beasts dared to attack them. Even snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants avoided Karen.

This greatly reduced Granny's survey burden. Although his skin was as hard as stone and ordinary mosquitoes could not bite him at all, the buzzing around him would still annoy him.

"Master Karen, this trick of yours is really effective."

Granny Oak was quite envious. This was probably the privilege of the strong. Even these unintelligent animals knew to stay away.

"But it might not work well against some intelligent beings. No matter how strong your pressure is, there will always be people who dare to challenge you for various reasons, and there will always be people who can overcome the pressure through willpower."

Karen smiled and said that animals act on instinct and understand what fear is. They will naturally flee when they feel their lives are threatened. However, when they have intelligence, they will be influenced by various factors and may eventually do things that go against their biological instincts.

For example, the knights of the Kingdom of Kalond, one of the northern kingdoms, would always go deep into the Blood Clan Empire to cause destruction.

They killed officials, destroyed cities, and committed all kinds of evil, even attacking blood servants and vampires. They killed every one that came, but there were always some, as if they could never be killed.

"Once a living thing has needs other than survival, it will naturally no longer be controlled by the survival instinct. This is normal. For example, humans die for wealth and ambition. Isn't that common?"

Granni replied while digging stones. There has never been a shortage of humans coming to "explore" in the Kingdom of Mountains. Gems and precious minerals are very valuable in the human empire, and there are many people who take risks and go deep into the mountains for this purpose.

Therefore, as the most numerous, most widely distributed and most occupied race in the world of Torres, it is not without reason that humans are stereotyped as "ambitious and greedy" in the eyes of other races.

Although everyone understands that a minority sample cannot represent the characteristics of a group, for other races far away from human society, those minority samples are all the humans they come into contact with, so it is completely normal to form stereotypes.

This is how other races treat humans, and how humans treat other races.

Dwarves must be wine-loving, generous, and vulgar; elves must be handsome, proud, and arrogant; orcs must be ugly, vicious, and barbaric. These are all stereotypes, but when Karen thought about it carefully, he seemed to have always believed so?

"Sniff sniff!"

Karen moved his nose, and a faint fishy smell came from a distance. The smell was very familiar, the same as the smell of the lizardman before, fishy and with a hint of corrosion.

"Go this way."

Karen said to Granny who was working hard, pointing in the direction where the smell came from, since we are here, of course we have to go and take a look.

"Okay." Granny had no objection, because he hadn't smelled it yet and didn't think there was anything over there. He just thought Karen was pointing at it casually.

"Sniff sniff!"

"No, what's that smell?!"

By the time Granny Oak finally smelled the stench, they were already not far from their target.

"It seems there is a lizardman camp nearby."

Karen spoke, and when his eagle eyes opened, his vision suddenly moved forward, like a telescope, through the layers of woods, he could clearly see some beastmen in action.

"You saw it a long time ago?! That's right."

Granny was surprised at first, then he realized that he was the "Blood King" after all, and he was definitely not someone he could compare to.

“It’s too dangerous.”

Granny muttered in a low voice, you "Blood King" are awesome, but he, Granny Oak, is just an ordinary dwarf!
If this creature were caught by a beastman and put into a pot to be cooked, the best he could do would be to hold out a little longer than a human before being cooked.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to find us. Even if they do, they can't beat me and won't catch you and eat you."

Karen spoke up, calming the slightly nervous dwarf.

They were now quite far away from Wangbo Port, and it was almost dark when they reached it. I'm afraid that no one from Wangbo Port had ever come to such a deep place.

Because if we go back now, we have to go back in the dark. If it were an ordinary person, we basically don’t have to think about going back. We just have to think about who to feed. At night, the mountains and forests will only be more lively than during the day.

"Master Karen, you're not going to do anything to them, are you?"

Granny asked in a low voice. Although he had not seen the beastmen yet, he lowered his voice as if it was a conditioned reflex.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first."

Karen replied that we should make plans before taking action and first see the strength of this camp.

"I'll go over and take a look. You stay here and don't move."

Karen looked at Granni and gave the order, which made the dwarf look reluctant.

Granny felt that he could not leave Karen at all. Firstly, the mosquitoes were too annoying, and secondly, there was a possibility that beastmen might suddenly attack him.

However, Karen didn't care about Granny's little thoughts. He turned into a blood bat and flew out towards the lizardman camp.

Although it is called a camp, it is actually very primitive. There is no fence or anything like that. It is just a cleared flat land with many conspicuous tree stumps that look like they were just cut down not long ago.

Some of the lizard people sat on wooden stakes, while others sat on the ground, surrounding a large bonfire with various animal bones scattered around it.

A small lizardman stood by the campfire, about the height of a human chest, with colorful feathers on his head and a wooden staff in his hand. He was leaping and seemed to be dancing.

This lizard man is obviously different from the other big guys, not just in size, but they are not from the same family at all.
