Lear laid out his second ambush with greater composure.
Haggs left with his knife, returned, entered the circle, launched a surprise attack, and hunted down the prey.
A series of steps left the swamp poison frogs utterly helpless.
Several ambushes were successfully carried out.
But after the fourth time, the swamp poison frogs, seeing their numbers drop by almost half, suddenly realized what was happening.
Their vigilance was taken to the extreme.
No matter how much Haggs teased her, she was no longer tempted.
When Haggs returned to report, Lear looked at the wetland lizardmen and saw that their evolutionary level had reached 99%, and fell into deep thought.
Just one more wave is needed to upgrade the potential of these 15 squads of Wetland Lizardmen to 2 stars.
We don't need two more squads of swamp poison frog corpses, that will be enough!
Increasing potential by 1 star will double the increase in combat power.
At this point, the opposing force numbered only slightly over a hundred. Their numerical advantage had been eliminated.
His eyes flashed with a dangerous glint, gradually sharpening.
"Hags".
"dominate!"
"Concentrate our forces and hunt down a portion of the swamp poison frogs. I want their carcasses!"
Haggs's eyes immediately turned fierce.
"As you wish! None of these poisonous frogs will escape!"
Several journeys ignited a strong desire in this hero to become stronger.
If he were stronger, the ruler wouldn't need to be so cautious!
Ultimately, it's because they lack the strength and need to consider casualties!
Clench your fist with your five fingers cracking!
If you don't come out, then we'll just raze you to the ground.
The wetland lizardmen will never disappoint the Overlord!
Under Lear's will, the army quickly assembled.
Before long, Hagus reappeared in front of the swamp poison frog.
With a low growl, it charged alone toward the swamp poison frog.
The swamp monsters were taken aback at first, then flew into a rage.
So this damned lizardman was just one person?
It was bad enough that they provoked us so many times before, but now they dare to show such contempt for us!
court death!
It immediately opened its massive maw, spewing out venom in a frenzy.
The range is over 30 meters!
Just as Hagus had attracted the attention of most of the swamp poison frogs, the grass on both sides was suddenly lifted up.
"kill!"
One after another, the swamp lizardmen warriors, with ferocious eyes and clad in armor, charged forward like wild wolves.
The distance of tens of meters was covered in an instant!
The swamp poison frog was startled and hurriedly turned around, spitting out venom from its mouth.
But having initially been drawn to Hagus, less than a third of the venom has now been expelled.
Furthermore, being positioned on both sides, they were far from capable of creating a dense barrage of attacks.
Sizzle~
Several swamp lizardmen, corroded by the venom, silently charged into the swamp frogs with ferocious expressions.
Injury for injury, life for life.
These swamp creatures are the most fearless warriors!
Pfft~
A swamp lizardman had his abdomen pierced directly by the tongue of a swamp poison frog, tearing through his sturdy armor.
Blood gushed out like a spring.
But he remained unfazed, roaring and swinging his steel blade.
Whew~
He swung down hard, severing half of the opponent's shoulder.
ah!!
The swamp poison frog let out a hysterical scream, the excruciating pain directly devouring its soul.
Pain is an inherent gift of life, a necessity for avoiding danger.
However, pain is also life's most vulnerable and fatal weakness!
The pain deprived the swamp poison frog of both the strength and the opportunity to retaliate.
The wetland lizardman warrior swung his claws, slicing across her neck.
The major artery was torn apart, and blood burst out.
The swamp poison frog staggered and collapsed to the ground amidst thick blood.
The wetland lizardman warriors continued their march, roaring as they charged toward their second target.
That frenzied attitude also infected Lear behind him.
These are his warriors, pure warriors, who fight for him and are even willing to face death for him!
No one can trample on you!
Magic activated, and waves of Swamp Blessings erupted among the Wetland Lizardmen.
Powerful healing spells are the strongest shield at this moment.
Lear is supporting them in the most direct way!
Wherever the fighting was most intense, Li Healing Technique would focus his attention on that area, using all his abilities to ensure that no one died!
A fierce battle ensued, with every strike cutting to the bone!
Thanks to his powerful treatment, dozens of wetland lizardmen warriors sustained minor injuries, while seventeen or eighteen were seriously wounded and collapsed, but none of them died in battle!
The life-for-life assault also killed more than three enemy squads!
Upon seeing this, Lear decisively activated the Swamp Godhood suppressed within the Seed of Magic.
A mysterious, dark, and sacred aura surged forth.
The corpses of swamp poison frogs were covered.
Streams of life energy were extracted and integrated into the wetland lizardman's body beside him.
These fierce warriors immediately felt their internal power surging.
Deep within his bloodline, some dormant, ancient power slowly awakens.
His 1.7-meter frame gradually grew taller, and his already bulging muscles expanded even further.
It only stopped growing when it reached 1.8 meters.
Its claws gleamed with a chilling light, sharp as knives, and its thick tail swung, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.
Amber eyes, fierce and tyrannical.
Its gaping maw was slightly open, and the dagger-like thorns were chilling.
breakthrough!
2-star potential!

Hardened Scales - Increases damage reduction by 15%.
Brutal - Added the trait that increases all attributes by 20% when entering a brutal state.
Overall combat effectiveness has skyrocketed!
The most direct manifestation is—
The swamp poison frog, which had initially held a slight advantage in one-on-one combat, suddenly found itself under immense pressure.
The stalemate that had been going on suddenly collapsed.
The wetland lizardmen charged madly into the swamp poison frogs. Their tongues, capable of piercing through the body, had now penetrated the armor, but were blocked by the scales.
Unbreakable defense!
Its soaring power, with a single swing, can even cleave a swamp poison frog in two!
Those severely injured wetland lizardmen recovered rapidly after their life potential was enhanced.
With Lear's treatment, he miraculously crawled back from the brink of death!
Rejoin the battle.
The number of swamp poison frogs has been gradually reduced and is rapidly decreasing.
This scene resembles a chessboard where the opponent's pieces are being captured one by one.
Lear, however, is able to protect his pieces by relying on his powerful skills.
Hagus went on a killing spree, single-handedly taking down two or three squads of swamp poison frogs!
This wetland lizardman once again demonstrates his power as a hero.
After repeated encirclements and suppressions, the overall situation is settled!
The swamp poison frog fought back furiously, but to no avail.
Pfft~
With the last swamp poison frog decapitated, the hard-fought battle finally came to an end.
At this moment, the wetland lizardman warrior, covered in blood, stood amidst the corpses scattered on the ground.
Looking around, there were no more enemies.
His demeanor was indescribably chilling and ruthless.
Even a single glance from him would send ordinary people shivering and swallowed by nightmares.
Seeing this, Lear's eyes inexplicably became somewhat dazed.
This is the warrior he nurtured, with 2-star potential, who has reached level 7!
No one can stop them!
No!
A sense of accomplishment rose within me.
The only pity is that, currently, the shattered divine essence he controls can only be upgraded to 2 stars in terms of potential.
To further advance, one must first seize control of power.
However, where the power lies remains unknown.
Looking around, he could feel the kindness and joy that the entire swamp was sending him.
He could sense that what he needed was in the swamp, but he could never find the entrance or push open that hazy door.
It seems some additional catalyst is needed to trigger it.
Calm himself down, wave his hand, and regroup the army.
Ignoring the corpses and remains scattered everywhere, he turned his gaze toward the territory.
These wetland lizardman warriors take turns going to the battlefield, and the five squads stationed in the territory have reached the critical point of 95% evolution.
The gains from this experience can also be used to train the remaining 5 teams.
Lear smiled slightly.
This hunt was satisfying.
