After discovering that Tang Zhen was under attack, Qian Long turned pale with fright. He immediately maneuvered the assault Helicopter to the nearby sky, ready to fire at any moment.

Four Holy Dragon City cultivators descended from the sky, quickly occupying an advantageous position, and aimed their guns at these mud-like creatures.

Tang Zhen frowned slightly as he looked at the blow dart that was aimed at him. His finger that was pulling the trigger began to exert a little force.

With just a little more strength, the whistling bullets would be able to kill these guys wrapped in mud!

“Who are you? why are you invading our territory?”

The mud monster on the other side suddenly roared, its tone strange and obscure.

Tang Zhen activated the [ universal language translator ] and asked in the same language,”Who are you? why did you suddenly attack me?”

After the mud creature heard Tang Zhen’s question, it immediately said in an excited tone, ” Oh my God, you can actually understand our swamp doll language. This is really shocking!

The swamp Frogman that was talking to Tang Zhen put down his blow dart and took off the hood that was like a turf.

A face that looked like a combination of a frog and a lizard was revealed. Its eyes and mouth were very big, and there was not a single strand of hair on the surface of its body.

“The sudden flood destroyed our home and forced us to leave this place.

Human Sir, do you know where the flood came from?”

The swamp Frogman’s face was filled with urgency as he asked Tang Zhen.

“This flood comes from the sky. I don’t know when it will stop flowing.”

Tang Zhen pointed at the upper reaches of the river as he spoke to the swamp Frogman.

When the swamp Frogman heard this, it immediately revealed a disappointed expression and said to Tang Zhen, it’s unbelievable that a flood appeared in the sky, but this might be the real answer, because my father said the same thing.

The land under your feet is our home for countless years. Unfortunately, the water is full of monsters now, and our survival is threatened.

The strange river water made our skin red and swollen, so no one dared to go into the water.

Our former home has been completely submerged, and we don’t know what to do!”

The swamp Frogman then bowed to Tang Zhen,”We mistook you for a bad person just now, so we suddenly attacked you. Please forgive our rudeness!”

Although the frogmen looked strange, they were very polite.

Tang Zhen looked at the lonely swamp Frogman and asked, ” now that your home no longer exists, where will you go? ”

The swamp Frogman sighed helplessly at those words, and said in a dejected tone, ” “Now that things have come to this, we can only wander around. I hope we can find a similar land so that my people can continue to live!”

“In that case, are you able to stay in the water for a long time? do you know how to breed fish?” Tang Zhen nodded and asked.

The swamp Frogman nodded and said to Tang Zhen,”In fact, we’ve been living in the water all the time. We usually rely on breeding and catching fish and shrimp for a living!”

“How many clansmen do you have left?” Tang Zhen asked.

“Why do you ask?” the swamp Frogman asked.

Seeing the swamp Frogman looking at him warily, Tang Zhen smiled and explained, ” “I’m the city Lord of the human race’s loucheng. It’s only a day’s journey from here.

There are two huge lakes in my city, and I’ve been thinking about whether I should use them to raise fish.

It’s a pity that I don’t have the manpower to do so, so I haven’t put this plan into action.

If you can help me breed fish, I can provide shelter for you and allow you to become an honorary resident of Lou city.

This is my condition, can you consider it?”

Tang Zhen looked at the swamp Frogman, waiting for its reply.

The encounter with the swamp frogmen was purely an accident, but after Tang Zhen confirmed their abilities, he immediately had the intention to hire them as fishermen.

The two lakes in the Holy Dragon City could breed a large number of fish. If they were successful, they would definitely become another source of food for the Holy Dragon City.

As the Lord of a city, Tang Zhen had no choice but to consider these people’s livelihood problems.

The swamp Frogman’s heart was in a mess. It was moved by Tang Zhen’s suggestion, but it was also afraid that its people would be deceived, which made it walk around.

After thinking for a long time, the swamp Frogman came to a sudden realization that he had to discuss this with his clansmen.

Looking at the swamp frogmen that were croaking together, Tang Zhen told Qian Long and the others not to worry as he waited for the results of their discussion.

After about ten minutes, the chief-like swamp Frogman walked towards Tang Zhen and said with his mouth open,”After some discussion, our clansmen have decided to go to your tower to take a look first before deciding whether or not to accept your employment!

Please forgive us for being so cautious, but the swamp frogmen have suffered too much damage. We would never enter a human’s city if we were not at a dead end!”

After saying this, the swamp Frogman bowed to Tang Zhen.

This was a communication method taught to them by their ancestors. It could express their goodwill.

Tang Zhen was naturally very happy to hear the reply from the swamp Frogman.

He believed that the swamp frogmen would definitely like Holy Dragon City when they arrived.

Once the swamp frogmen settled down, the Holy Dragon city’s plan to rear fish in the lake could begin.

After the two of them exchanged a few more words, Tang Zhen contacted Tai Seng again and got him to drive the swamp frogmen to Holy Dragon City.

Due to the appearance of the swamp frogmen, Tang Zhen had no choice but to temporarily stop hunting the water monsters and began to talk to the swamp frogmen.

The swamp Frogman that was conversing with Tang Zhen was indeed the tribe leader of this small foreign tribe. However, it had only been a short while since it became the tribe leader. Including today, it had only been five days.

The old chief of the swamp frogmen had been treated as breakfast by a water monster five days ago.

Along with the old chief, more than twenty swamp frogmen Warriors had also died.

The weak swamp frogmen had no chance of fighting back against the giant water monster.

Only the old, weak, sick, and disabled were left in the swamp frogmen tribe.

This was also one of the reasons why the swamp frogmen were so eager to leave. If they hesitated any longer, the swamp frogmen might be exterminated.

Although it was risky to go to Tang Zhen’s Tower, it was much better than annihilating his entire family. At the very least, there was still a glimmer of hope!

As the two sides conversed, Tang Zhen also checked the weapons used by the swamp frogmen.

This kind of blow dart was made from a hollow bird’s leg bone. It was smooth and round, and felt very good to the touch.

The swamp frogmen raised a type of small lizard and scraped off a slimy substance with numbing effects from the lizard’s body, before applying it to the meticulously polished bone spikes.

These bone spikes were very sharp, but when they hit an armored target, they would not be able to cause obvious damage.

This was a timid, simple, and even somewhat pitiful alien tribe. Compared to the black-feathered Birdmen and kobolds, their lives were simply terrible!

If they had not been lucky enough to meet Tang Zhen, the group of swamp frogmen would have been wiped out of this wilderness forever.
