Chapter 1024 The Inevitable “Battle”
Tang En had seen the lizard man a long time ago. When he saw the lizard man again this time, he wasn't as fussy as before.
He looked at the five lizardmen in the cage with great interest. These three lizardmen were obviously the strongest among the lizardmen. Compared with other lizardmen, they were stronger and had sharper eyes. They are bright and lively, and the scales on their bodies are harder and smoother, which means that they can often obtain food, which is very rare in the underground world.
Perhaps it is precisely because they are stronger that they can smell the food in the trap from such a long distance and then fall into the trap.
Locked in a hard cage at this moment, these five lizardmen were extremely irritable, tearing at the cage crazily, and even biting with their teeth. However, the strong universal alloy was far harder than their teeth. There is no benefit other than making them more anxious.
"What are you going to do?"
Laura looked at Tang En with some curiosity. The dark elves had never thought about taming lizards to work for them before, but several attempts in history ended in failure - this kind of creature has no loyalty and integrity at all. Once given a chance, they will escape and even bite their owner.
The costs and benefits of domestication were completely out of proportion, so in the end the dark elves simply gave up on domesticating them, directly treating them as worthless enemies and implementing a policy of complete elimination.
"Don't treat them as intelligent creatures, just treat them as animals."
Tang En took a piece of meat and placed it on the side of the cage. At the same time, a whip suddenly appeared in his hand.
After seeing the piece of meat, the five lizardmen suddenly became excited, and regardless of their current imprisoned state, they immediately pounced on it - for them, it is the last word to eat food immediately when they see it. .
However, at this moment, Tang En quickly waved his hand, "Bang!", and the whip hit the front lizard man hard, knocking it back. Before the other lizard men could get closer, Tang En Several more whips were whipped up, causing them to squeal and scream.
But the attraction of food to them was beyond imagination. Even though their bodies hurt terribly, they still did not give up and rushed forward again.
With an expressionless face, Tang En continued to swing his whip, as accurately as a robot, hitting the weakest part of their body's scales every time. Especially, these lizardmen were all male lizardmen. After a while, , even Laura next to her saw it with her eyes twitching, secretly muttering that Tang En was so cruel...
If they keep going like this, it won't be long before they no longer have to think about having children.
The lizard men charged at the pieces of meat again and again, and Tang En forced them back again and again. It was very boring, and after a while the surrounding dark elves lost interest.
Little Queen Luo Lin couldn't help but ask: "Is this okay?"
The dark elves did this before, enslaving the lizardmen through cruel corporal punishment, but unfortunately the final effect was not good.
Tang En smiled slightly, shook his hand, and knocked another lizard man to the ground: "If it is just corporal punishment, of course it will have no effect."
"It feels like you are doing useless work..."
Laura curled her lips and said a little helplessly: "If the lizard people were more intelligent, there wouldn't be such trouble."
Tang En nodded noncommittally.
If the lizard people were more intelligent and could communicate normally, they could be controlled through the power of spells, which would be much easier. But the trouble is that the lizard people have a very low IQ, which is equivalent to eight at best. A nine-year-old child is still mentally retarded.
Even if their will is controlled through magic, they will just become puppets, the kind that will not move at all without instructions.
Tang En doesn't have that many magicians giving them orders one by one. If there are so many magicians, instead of going to such trouble, it would be better to just let the magicians change their profession to become miners, and the daily output can exceed 10,000 tons. Already...
Of course, now Tang En can indeed train a large number of magicians, but don't you think it is a waste of magicians' power to be used in this aspect?
Therefore, it is most cost-effective to tame lizards and kobolds to work as miners. Even if they die unexpectedly, they will not feel bad.
The meaningless whipping lasted for several hours, and the five lizardmen finally seemed to understand that the piece of meat was not something they could touch. They huddled in a corner of the cage with frightened faces, looking at the piece of meat for a while. After a while, he looked at Tang En, who was holding the whip. A low roar came from his throat, but he didn't dare to yell at Tang En.
They finally knew they were afraid.
Looking at the shivering lizard man, Laura, who was still accompanying him, shrugged: "It seems they can only be domesticated to this extent."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Tang En looked at them with a smile. Those lizardmen were lowering their heads to lick the wounds on their bodies. Although their scales were very hard, Tang En was not merciful when he wielded his whip. Many of their scales were cracked by him. A lot of blood came out.
[Nora, lend me some power. 】
Nora had long been bored and was dozing off. After hearing this, she directly shared part of her power with Tang En: [What on earth are you going to do? It’s so boring...]
[Be good, go to sleep. 】
At this time, Tang En snapped his fingers, and the emerald green life force fell on the lizard men. The wounds on their bodies healed quickly, and they returned to health in the blink of an eye.
The five lizardmen were frightened and frightened. They didn't understand why the "food" in front of them was beating them at one moment and healing them at the other.
In the eyes of the lizard people, everything that can be eaten is food and there is nothing wrong with it.
After treating them, Tang En stood there motionless. When the lizardmen saw this, they thought that Tang En was tired, so they cautiously approached the piece of meat - they hadn't eaten for several hours, and they were already a little hungry.
Just when they were about to touch the meat, the whip in Tang En's hand flew out with a roar and struck hard.
"Gah!!"
Although only one of the lizardmen was whipped, they were all so frightened that they shrank to the other end of the cage like crazy.
"Are you going to spend time with them like this?"
Laura asked curiously: "Lizard people are very stupid. Even if you let them know fear now, they will forget it before long."
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Tang En showed a very strange smile: "This pain will be firmly engraved in their bones and passed down from generation to generation..."
Even animals without intelligence can be trained to be obedient. Tang En doesn't believe that he can't handle the lizard people.
"But I'm so bored watching it."
Laura said and clung to Tang En, gently rubbing on his back, her lips came to Tang En's ear and whispered: "Can we do something interesting... If you want to play with the whip, I will too." Can I accompany you..."
The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched and he trembled. The reason why he didn't want to come to Shahela was because he was afraid of this situation, but there was no other way. He had to come here in person.
"Mother!"
Luo Lin glared at Laura: "Can you please stop being like this all the time! He is my husband!"
Laura licked her red lips and said: "That's why I want to help you keep it safe and train his skills for you, so that your future life will be more wonderful."
"No need! I can do it myself!"
Luo Lin screamed and rushed forward, and then... fell to the ground.
"My good daughter, look at you, you'd better learn to walk well first."
Laura mocked her daughter mercilessly and pulled Tang En away.
"Wait, wait! At least let me make arrangements!"
Tang En knew that the battle tonight was probably unavoidable. He shouted: "Let them stay behind in shifts. They all have whips. If the lizard people come to grab meat, they will whip them. If they want to sleep, they will whip them. Don't let them rest."
"Did you hear everything?"
"heard it!"
"Then why don't you act quickly!"
There is never a shortage of whips among the dark elves. They quickly stood guard next to the cage with a whip, staring at the five lizardmen inside.
Tang En, on the other hand, was dragged to the Queen's Palace by Laura.
"Come on, eat. This is the food I specially prepared for you. It can replenish your energy."
Tang En looked at the plate of inexplicable food in front of him with a bitter look on his face, feeling it was a bit difficult to eat.
He really didn't want to eat those things, so he simply turned from passive to active, raised his eyebrows, and asked deliberately: "Do you think I still need these things?"
Laura was glared at by Tang En's extremely intrusive gaze, and immediately softened. She squeezed her legs tightly and said with a flushed face: "Of course not, I just want you to be stronger."
"Hmph, I think that's what you mean. It seems I need to give you something powerful to try."
As soon as Tang En finished speaking, Laura immediately rushed forward: "Give it to me quickly! I want to 'taste' your power!"
Damn, this bitch is going crazy! !
Tang En simply couldn't resist her, so she stripped her naked at the dinner table. Laura next to her was so dazzled that she just wanted to come up to lend a hand, but was kicked aside by Laura.
"Let's go and let me have my fun first!"
"Mom, you're going too far!"
Lorraine ran out crying.
Tang En was a little speechless: "Are you a little too domineering..."
"Why, is it possible that Lord Divine Envoy wants to taste Luo Lin? Then you have to satisfy me first..."
"No, I mean you're too-hiss!"
Tang En took a breath of cold air, and then released "Angus's local hardening technique" on himself without hesitation.
Now that I have boasted so much, I can only grit my teeth and persevere.
While Tang En and Laura were fighting hard, Nora, who was hiding above Tang En's head, suddenly woke up and looked at them with bright eyes.
Nora pouted and kept complaining against Tang En in her heart.
Really, I agreed to take whatever I wanted, but never gave him a chance, and I wasted several days in vain.
After waiting for a long time, I finally found the opportunity to get materials!
