Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Without making a sound, Luo Xiu arrived at the side of a fifth-tier water lizard and reached out his hand.

"Bam—"

Luo Xiu's powerful force shattered the neck of the Flood Lizard. However, the structure inside the Flood Lizard, which had evolved to the fifth tier, was several times stronger than that of the fourth tier. Therefore, when its neck broke, it emitted a strong shockwave.

This explosive sound could not be drowned out by the sound of the undercurrent and the mysterious sharp whistle. In an instant, five pairs of golden eyes opened at the same time.

It consists of the remaining three mermaids and two submerged lizards.

They looked warily in the direction from which the blast had come, only to find that what appeared before them were the mantid lizard and mermaid that had been sent on patrol.

This scene stunned them all, and that was exactly the effect Luo Xiu's disguise was intended to achieve.

He quickly approached the mermaid above, his enormous figure moving as fast as a black lightning bolt, arriving in front of the mermaid in an instant.

"Click——"

Before the other fifth-tier creatures could react, Luo Xiu's other hand had already grabbed the neck of the fifth-tier mermaid and snapped it instantly.

The fifth-tier mermaid's head drooped limply to the side, and the other fifth-tier mermaids, seeing this, finally understood what had happened.

A mermaid opened its jaws, sending out invisible sound waves that seemed to awaken its sleeping kin in the surrounding area.

Luo Xiu approached swiftly, and at the same time activated the Weakness Spell, causing the remaining four fifth-tier creatures to fall into a weakened state.

This feeling of utter weakness terrified them. In a flash, they realized that they were no match for Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu could easily kill two fifth-tier members of his own kind, so killing them wouldn't be difficult for him either.

They could only hope that the sound waves they had just heard could awaken their kin in the vicinity. If even one of their kind could escape, it would alert the other sentry posts to the enemy attack and strengthen their vigilance.

To their despair, the sound waves seemed to have had no effect whatsoever.

The other members of their tribe remained peacefully prostrate on the ground, seemingly fast asleep.

This scene made them immediately realize that all their kin around them must have died!

The undercurrents surrounding their kind masked the fading of their breathing and the stench of blood.

What a chilling tactic!

Their fear deepened, but they had little time left to think.

At that moment, Luo Xiu had already arrived beside the mermaid who had just spoken, and in a mere instant, he ended the mermaid's life.

Immediately afterward, Luo Xiu threw a powerful punch downward, then made a sharp turn, heading straight for the remaining mermaid and the lizard.

Everything happened in just two or three seconds. The lizard, seeing Luo Xiu coming directly towards it, thought that Luo Xiu had abandoned the lizard beneath it and wanted to kill it and the mermaid behind it first.

Unexpectedly, as it was fleeing in panic with the mermaid on its back, it heard a loud bang behind it. Turning around, it was shocked to find that the kin that had just been punched by Luo Xiu had exploded.

With just one punch, a fifth-tier water lizard, as large as a small mountain, shattered into several pieces.

This scene stunned the lizard, which frantically paddled its limbs, trying to escape by using the surrounding undercurrents.

The mermaid on its back waved its hands, and magic surged, forming two giant, looping underground channels around it to help the lizard accelerate.

However, having been weakened by the spell, they were no match for Luo Xiu. In just a few breaths, Luo Xiu reappeared behind the water lizard, the two no more than a meter apart.

For people at their level, a distance of one meter is no different from zero.

Seeing that Luo Xiu's hand was about to touch him, in a moment of desperation, the water lizard suddenly rolled over, knocking the mermaid behind him off and dropping it in front of Luo Xiu.

While Luo Xiu was attacking the mermaid, it unleashed its full power, transforming into a dark current that rushed towards the exit of the sentry post.

Luo Xiu looked in the direction the water lizard had left, smiled, and didn't chase after it.

He reached out and gently climbed onto the neck of the mermaid in front of him, placing the fourth-tier mermaid in his other hand next to the one in front of him.

"*&……？(Who should I choose?)"

Luo Xiu spoke softly.

Without any hesitation, the fourth-tier mermaid, already terrified and pale-faced in Luo Xiu's hands, desperately pointed to a higher-tier kin beside him.

At that moment, the desire to survive took over, and all reason was disregarded. In the face of boundless fear, it made an instinctive choice.

Luo Xiu was very satisfied with this choice.

He planned to take a mermaid to the next outpost, and his only requirement for the mermaid was that she be as obedient as possible.

Clearly, a fourth-order mermaid is more suitable.

"&……%%,……@@# (You've earned yourself more time; hopefully you'll perform even better)"

After snapping the neck of the fifth-tier mermaid in his hand, Luo Xiu grabbed the terrified fourth-tier mermaid and swam upwards.

As Luo Xiu approached the exit, he heard a tremor coming from above the vortex, followed by a system notification in his ear.

[Host's main servant slays a sea giant lizard, points +500]

Luo Xiu smiled slightly, looking down at the desolate seabed below.

The figures crawling on the seabed remained still, lying quietly, as if nothing had happened.

This was a silent massacre. If any creature passed by, it would be difficult to detect anything unless it got close; it would simply think that these monsters were still asleep.

"First."

Luo Xiu said softly.

His words made the mermaid in his hand tremble like a leaf.

……

……

five days later

On a small island far from the coast of Rovaniempu.

The figure in the black robe focused intently on controlling the magic within his body. The sand and mud swirled wildly before him, which he precisely manipulated to fill every crevice of the island.

The island slowly expanded and leveled out, but he seemed somewhat dissatisfied. After frowning, a cloud of mud and sand instantly fell to the ground, smashing the newly leveled area to pieces.

After stretching, he lay back down on the recliner next to him, ready to rest for a while before getting back to work.

This marks the sixty-fourth time the island has been rebuilt in the past few days.

But something felt off; it couldn't compare to the island before he destroyed it.

This is quite normal, after all, he spent over forty years meticulously crafting this island. Apart from his two "brothers," any other monsters that dared to damage the island even a little bit would suffer a miserable fate.

He closed his eyes for a short rest, his mind replaying the events of the past ten days.

As it turned out, his guess was correct. The sixth-tier mermaid that went to the Knights of Rovanpu was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, dying silently without making a ripple.

The only ones capable of doing this are undoubtedly the Protoss.

However, there are some suspicious points.

A mermaid sent to investigate claimed that on the day the mermaid died, she saw a giant axe flying rapidly through the air in the distance, and it seemed that the giant axe was the one that ultimately beheaded the mermaid.

This puzzled him, because did the gods really need to resort to such methods to kill a sixth-tier mermaid?

Based on the descriptions given by the merfolk who had gone to investigate, he felt that such methods were crude and crude, and not at all like something a god would do.

Could it be that the gods who came this time also encountered some kind of restriction?

Of course, it's also possible that those guys did it on purpose, wanting to show off their seemingly flashy but impractical skills in front of humans.

But this has led to a new problem.

What is the relationship between the gods who have come here and humans?

If they came here for a trial, there should be news of them fighting against humans. Or is it that their trial method is different from ours?

This is possible.

"Hey……"

He let out a sigh.

The main reason is that I haven't fully recovered and I don't have the leverage to negotiate with those guys; otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a passive position.

So many days have passed, and we still don't know how many people the enemy has sent, or what types of troops they brought.

There must be more than one here, he thought to himself, hoping he wasn't the only one who was so unlucky.

It's incredibly unlucky that only one Protoss came, and of all people, it had to be Rauwanpu. At least one should have been sent to each of my two brothers.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw a mermaid emerge from the sea and crawl towards him.

The mermaid looked flustered, and after kneeling down, she hesitated for a long time without saying a word.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

He frowned and asked.

"No, it's nothing serious, sir."

The mermaid quickly spoke up:

"Everything has been relatively normal these past few days. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual on the human side either. They seem to be celebrating our retreat."

Upon hearing this, the figure in black robes relaxed his furrowed brows slightly.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted enough to shrink the area of ​​troop movement in advance, which avoided losses.

As for those foolish humans, let them laugh all they want.

Those gods are no benevolent beings. Once they reveal their true colors, they will naturally show those humans what it means to devour people without spitting out the bones.

"So what is it you want to report this time?"

The figure in black robes spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, the mermaid stammered:

"Yes, sir, we set up more than 70 sentry posts this time. Today is the day to summarize the situation at each post, but nearly 20 posts haven't... haven't received any feedback..."

Chapter 249 A Triumphant Return and Unexpected Situations

After the mermaid finished speaking, the black-robed figure's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

"More than twenty locations have no information compiled?!"
