Su Nan’s face was cold as he continuously released bursts of acid, each one splashing out. He aimed for the Black Scale Lizardfolk who were of knight rank.

    Within just over a dozen breaths, seven Black Scale Lizardfolk had perished under his spells. The Black Scale Lizardfolk had already been at a disadvantage, and with Su Nan’s intervention, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for them. The scales of victory gradually tilted towards the Black Stone City side.

    “Roar!”

    Suddenly, a roar exploded! The Black Scale Lizardfolk chieftain, having noticed Su Nan’s threat, decided to eliminate this human with the strange powers first. However, before he could act, Kei intercepted him.

    “Lizard head, I’m your opponent!”

    Kei sneered, swinging his sword in a powerful strike. The strength of a peak knight combined with the enhancement from the Brute Force Potion caused a piercing air-splitting roar as he slashed. The Black Scale Lizardfolk chieftain’s pupils constricted in fear, and he dared not clash directly, hastily dodging backward, but in doing so, he also lost the opportunity to approach Su Nan.

    “Gii-lu-waa-gii...”

    The Black Scale Lizardfolk chieftain uttered a strange, ear-piercing sound. Kei dismissed it as a frustrated curse and was about to continue his assault when he suddenly sensed something was wrong. He abruptly turned towards Su Nan.

    A colossal black shadow, appearing from the rear of the battlefield, was rapidly charging towards Su Nan.

    Bred noticed the shadow first. He abruptly turned, shouted in anger, and raised his Blackstone Iron Shield, colliding with the incoming shadow!

    Boom!

    Amidst the deafening sound, Bred flew out like a broken kite. The black shadow only took a few steps back, shook its head, and recovered.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Nan also saw the true form of the shadow. It was a lizard, about eight meters long, its entire body covered in cold, hard, black and red scales.

    “I didn’t expect these lizard heads to play this kind of feint attack.”

    Su Nan scoffed, his face showing no sign of panic. He had discovered this monster earlier than Kei and Bred and had already prepared his spell. He immediately cast a Sleep Curse.

    This giant lizard had clearly awakened its Dragon Lizard bloodline. It could easily knock back Bred, who had consumed a Brute Force Potion, in a physical confrontation. Its combat power was probably already at the peak knight level. Acid splashing would likely not cause much harm to it, and might even provoke its aggression. Therefore, Su Nan decisively opted for the Sleep Curse.

    The giant lizard about to charge suddenly shook its head as if it were drunk, swaying back and forth in place.

    Bred, having recovered, had just managed to climb to his feet. As he looked up, he saw this scene and instantly froze with wide eyes.

    What kind of monster is that? It can actually suppress that terrifying giant lizard!

    Not far away, Kei sighed in relief, secretly marveling in his heart. As expected of Su Nan, his tactics were endless.

    To choose him as a target for a sneak attack was truly the wrong decision.

    “Hee-hee-hee.”

    The joyful laughter intertwined with the screams of pain, echoing through the battlefield. Despite trying its best to dodge and avoid direct contact with the Fire Child, the Flame灵气 emitted by the Fire Child also caused the giant lizard unbearable agony.

    Within a short while, the giant lizard’s body could no longer be found with a single intact scale. It was covered with appalling burn marks.

    After extinguishing the flames on its body once more, the giant lizard finally couldn’t take it anymore. It rushed to a spot not far from Su Nan, lay down on the ground, and kept shaking its head up and down. Its amber vertical pupils revealed a human-like plea, as if it were begging for mercy.

    “It’s quite intelligent.”

    Su Nan chuckled in amazement. Rarely encountering such a rare species, he didn’t want to kill it just like that. He stopped the Fire Child’s pursuit and casually cast a Sleep Curse.

    Severely wounded, the giant lizard could no longer resist the effects of the Sleep Curse. Its eyelids fluttered a few times before falling into a deep slumber.

    Out of caution, Su Nan didn’t stop there. He patted the Blackrock Beast beside him and told it to suppress the giant lizard. Then, he extended his hand and pressed it against the giant lizard’s body, releasing a Fatigue Touch to drain the giant lizard’s energy, ensuring that this behemoth was completely out of combat.

    Only after doing all this, did he confidently shift his focus away from the giant lizard, turning his head towards the battlefield.

    In that instant, all the surviving Black Scale Lizardfolk felt a chill run down their spines.

    Under their horrified gazes, the fearsome Fire Child rushed towards them with a joyful cheer.
