Chapter 348 Chapter 348 - Lizardmen

"What do we do!?" - Terrance

"How is that staying calm Terrance?" - Louis

"Shut up Louis! What do you want me to do? I wasn't ready to fight whatever that is!" - Terrance

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! GET UP TERRANCE! I'LL BEAT YOU FIRST!" - Louis

"Shut up! Pick up your weapon Terrance! Both of you get up! Sir! At your orders!" - Scott

A smirk appears on my face as I hear the small chaos behind me. Would this have been how I would have been if I started Settlement at this time? Arguing with random people, scrambling on the ground trying to get up, and panicking at the first scene of danger. What a relaxed attitude…

"Earth Spike." - Ian

Activating Earth Spike between me and the monster, I create a small window of opportunity for myself to retreat to the three of them. Unpleased with the unfavorable situation the monster stomps its spear on the ground whilst shouting at us.

I toss the potion to Louis, before bending down and releasing Scott of his duty as I grab the Lizardman's arms. Making sure he wouldn't be able to escape I pierce his feet and tail with my spider legs while holding onto his arms from behind. Not before long, Terrance comes back with a bundle of vines.

"Let me." - Scott

Scott presides to tie the monster's wrists and ankles together, making sure to do a couple of layers since the monster can potentially break free. Even with the vines holding him down, I made sure to keep a hold of the monster. During this whole time, it seemed it had accepted its situation and kept quiet. Maybe it is planning an escape later or maybe it has just given up but regardless, it was now our prisoner.

"Umm, Ian. I was wondering… But while did we tie this monster up? Shouldn't we just have killed it? Like the other 2?" - Terrance

"Uhh, well I wasn't planning to kill the other two Lizardmen, it just happened like that. As for why I'm keeping this one alive, I think it might prove to be useful. After all, it might respond to another race, or to some persuasion. Plus, I hope to find out why they were so close." - Ian

"A little torture should suffice." - Scott

"Torture? To a monster? Hilarious." - Louis

"Regardless, we go back. Oh! As for your test, you all pass. I'll help you, even though the 3 of you couldn't kill 1 Lizardman. I see some potential. Come. Follow me." - Ian

With a prisoner in the form of a monster in my grasp and 3 potentially strong new players, I smile to myself as I look forward to the future. There is still so much more to do, and who knows how much time we really have. We could all die by some world-ending event by tomorrow for all we know.

It didn't take long for us to retrace our steps and make it back to Everbloom. There I sought out a goblin scout to signal for Stellar and Noah, while also telling Scott, Louis, and Terrance to get some rest. For them, it would have been an intense time, especially during the fight and the best thing for them right now is time to adjust and think. Training, questing, fighting, and more can be done later. Right now, let's find out more about this Lizardman.
