As he watched the giant slime py with the Abyss pnts, System swallowed his saliva helplessly.

  The purple getinous core inside the slime would undoubtedly have a strong effect on his [Pupation] talent. This was the conclusion he'd drawn from his bloodline's instincts.

  The more helpful a food was to his body, the more he wanted to eat it.

  While System was observing his old slime friend from the sky, a blue light appeared in the distance, followed by the sound of a violent collision.

  It seemed that Ying had already taken action against the two lizardmen who had been caught secretly spying.

  ...

  System looked down at the giant slime and saw that it hadn't reacted to the movement in the distance, so he led Meatball and Shava over to Ying's location.

  System was very cautious about these fellows who had been secretly peeping. That's why he hadn't rushed forward rashly, but had instead pretended not to notice the other party's peeping, then let Ying approach the two lizardmen in secret.

  Now that Ying had taken action, it meant that there were no enemies nearby except for the two lizardmen, and since the strength of the lizardmen was average, they could be dealt with easily.

  A dozen seconds ter, System arrived at the location of Ying's fight, where he found a badly injured lizardman lying on the ground.

  The scales covering the lizardman's body were a mix of dark green and yellow. He was about two meters tall and appeared to be very strong. His upper body was unclothed, while his lower body was wearing a strange bck skirt, which seemed to have been made from the skin of a bck snake like the ones in System's territory.

  When System arrived, the lizardman was covering his bleeding throat with his hands and coughing painfully. System guessed that blood from the lizardman's sshed throat had gotten into his lungs, causing him to choke.

  There were only two wounds on the lizardman—a cut on his throat and a stab wound leading into one of his ears.

  Perhaps because Ying's attack had been too shallow, or possibly due to the brain structure of a lizardman being somewhat special, the attack that had pierced into the lizardman's head through his ear hadn't killed him immediately. It had only damaged the nerves in his brain, causing his lower body to become paralyzed and twitch from time to time.

  However, with so much blood flowing from his wounds, the fallen lizardman would probably die soon, so Ying hadn't taken further action.

  As for the remaining lizardman, he was swinging his bone spear wildly in the air a few meters away.

  Blood was oozing from the standing lizardman's closed eyelids, and it was obvious that Ying had blinded him. The lizardman didn't even notice when System, Shava, and Meatball arrived nearby.

  The scales on the lizardman's body were raised like a hedgehog's quills, and dense, blue arcs of electricity swam over his scales. The electricity made crackling sounds, and the bone spear in the lizardman's hands was covered with an even more intense electric light.

  It was obvious that the noise from earlier had been the work of this lizardman.

  System quickly used [Probe and Analyze] to check the lizardman's basic information.

  He guessed that the lizardman probably had a higher combat power than that insect demon in the Warren Pins that had spit fireballs, but lower than the giant bck snake from his territory or the giant lizard he'd seen a few days earlier.

  This made System think of the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf.

  It was possible that these two lizardmen had wanted to use the extraordinary-level slime with low intelligence to deal with the new magical life forms in the area.

  ...

  However, no matter what, Ying's strength could be seen from the fact that she'd killed one lizardman and injured another in an instant.

  Especially when fighting against creatures with conventional weaknesses, Ying's ability gave her a tremendous advantage.

  In the games and novels from System's previous life, although the ability to become invisible existed, it was definitely not like Ying's.

  Typical [Stealth] and [Invisibility] abilities not only had time limits, they also revealed the user's figure at the moment of attack, giving the opponent a chance to react.

  However, Ying didn't need to do that at all. She could continue attacking the enemy's weaknesses while remaining invisible.

  In this way, even if the opponent was much stronger than her, it would be difficult to resist Ying's attacks, not to mention the fact that the strength of these two lizardmen hadn't been much different from Ying's.

  Perhaps it was because of this that Ying had dared to try assassinating the seemingly invincible old druid.

  In fact, if System hadn't wanted them to remain alive, Ying would have already killed the two lizardmen.

  In addition to the blinded lizardman's crazed roars, it sounded to System like the lizardman was also yelling something in the Abyss nguage. After listening for a while, System eventually figured out what the lizardman was saying.

  "Die! Die!"

  "...I, I won't tell you! I won't!"

  System's face revealed a strange expression, and he sent a mental message to Ying who had reappeared.

  "Have you asked him anything?"

  "No."

  "..."

  There seemed to be a misunderstanding between their group and the lizardmen.

  System moved a few meters away from the lizardman wielding the weapon and spoke in a hoarse voice, "What did I ask you?"

  "Hmph!"

  The lizardman snorted coldly, and the veins on his right arm holding the bone spear bulged. He hurled the spear that shone with blue electric light extremely quickly, and the roar of rushing wind could be heard as it tore through the air.

  System didn't dodge. It wasn't because he had Shava's help to resist the attack, but because the lizardman warrior's throw had deviated from its target.

  Because of his blinded eyes, the lizardman's ability to locate System was impaired, causing the thrown spear to deviate half a meter away, posing no threat.

  "What were you doing in my territory? Did you lead that giant slime here?"

  System ignored the lizardman, who seemed very irritable, and continued speaking in the Abyss Language. As he spoke, the lizardman became more angry, and the electric current attached to his scales became stronger and stronger. Eventually, he began wildly swinging his cws through the air.

  "I won't tell you!"

  The lizardman's random swings and angry roar obviously weren't very effective.

  However, they weren't completely without effect. The crackling electric current wrapped around the lizardman's body killed many mosquitoes, and even a mosquito insect beast more than twenty centimeters long got knocked to the ground by the electric current.

  When he saw that the lizardman was unwilling to communicate, System signaled Ying to slice through the tendons on the lizardman's hands and feet. Perhaps after his limbs were cut off, the lizardman would quiet down and start communicating.

  However, just after Ying disappeared and was about to take action, the lizardman suddenly raised his sharp cws, then dug them straight into his own chest.

  A moment ter, accompanied by a sptter of blood, the lizardman tore out his still-beating heart and started gnawing on it. He then fell to the ground, the arcs of electricity surrounding his body vanished, and he muttered his final words before finally dying.

  After the lizardman committed suicide, System suddenly heard a strange ughter...
