The Ancient Lizard King Dagassi's strength was indeed terrifying. By the time Han Shuo and Emily had arrived at Celt's side, Celt had been kicked into the air like a rubber ball.
Celt's thick knight armor was definitely not ordinary, but it was no different from scrap metal under Dagassi's attack. A large part of the knight's armor caved in from Dagassi's kick, and the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard from within his body.
The Redbud Knights who had come with Celt were loyal and devoted to him. Facing Dagassi, they charged forward without a care for their own safety, not fearing death in order to buy time for Celt to escape.
Unfortunately, the disparity in strength between them and the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi was too great. Dagassi hadn't even used much of his strength, but a dozen Redbud Knights' internal organs had already been smashed by his kicks and punches. The fighting aura from their longswords and spears couldn't cause any harm to an existence at Dagassi's level.
Perhaps only when Celt's strength advanced to the next level and possessed the strength of a sacred knight, along with the divine artifact "Starry Sky", would he be able to pose a threat to the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi. However, it seemed that Celt would never have this opportunity. Dagassi stomped down on him as soon as he landed.
With a crunching sound, a footprint appeared on Celt's chest. All of his internal organs had ruptured, and fresh blood flowed out from the footprint. Celt's eyes rolled back into his head, and he lost all signs of life.
The starlight on the divine artifact "Starry Sky" suddenly dimmed after Dagassi's death. It was like an ordinary longsword lying quietly in the shrubbery, without any trace of being a divine artifact.
Han Shuo flew over with Emily in tow. His eyes lit up as he stared at the divine artifact "Starry Sky". Without a word, he shot towards it. However, before Han Shuo could reach it, the divine artifact "Starry Sky" suddenly flew up and landed in Dagassi's hand with a whoosh.
"What, you want it?" The Ancient Lizard King Dagassi looked at Han Shuo from afar, shaking the "Starry Sky" in his hand as he asked.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo was a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, "Yes, I do want it."
"I see that the weapon in your hand is even fiercer than this sword. Aren't you a little too greedy?" In human form, Ancient Lizard King Dagassi was no longer as emotionless as that colossus. Instead, he seemed very human-like as he grinned and teased Han Shuo.
"I don't need a weapon, but I have a good friend. If he had this sword, his strength would definitely increase by a lot." Han Shuo explained with a relaxed smile when he saw Dagassi teasing him.
"Hmph, are you going to give it to that girl Phoebe?" Previously, Han Shuo had been in a hurry to retrieve the divine artifact "Starry Sky" and had temporarily let go of Emily's hand. At this time, Emily used a levitation spell to float to Han Shuo's side, a few traces of anger visible on her charming face.
Having been hit by Emily's words, Han Shuo didn't know what to say when he saw Emily's jealous appearance. He could only stand there and laugh dryly without saying a word.
"This weapon is indeed very good, but Celt was killed by me. No matter what, it should belong to me, right?" The red-faced Ancient Lizard King Dagassi looked at Han Shuo with a smile on his face. Seeing Han Shuo nod his head, he continued, "This sword is of no use to me. If you really want it, it's not that I can't give it to you. As long as you agree to a few conditions, not only this sword, but also that human's space ring, I can even give it to you."
Hearing that the Ancient Lizard King had a favorable turn of events, Han Shuo's expression shook and he asked, "What are your conditions first?"
Dagassi wasn't in a hurry to speak. With a flick of his reddish-brown tail, the space ring on Celt's finger also flew into his hand. Celt held the space ring between his fingers for a moment, and a few dozen strange auras suddenly flowed into the space ring.
With a bang, the magical barrier around Celt's space ring was forcefully destroyed. Dagassi then searched through Celt's space ring, squinting his eyes and laughing merrily at Han Shuo, "There's a lot of good stuff inside, probably worth at least a million gold coins. I didn't think this guy would be so good at accumulating wealth."
After hearing Celt's words, Han Shuo's greed was piqued even more, his heart itching for more. However, seeing that Dagassi didn't immediately open his mouth to state his conditions, Han Shuo wasn't in a hurry to ask. He only stared at Dagassi, waiting for him to continue. He knew that Dagassi would definitely state his conditions.
"Including all of the magic crystal ores beneath the gourd mountain, this priceless divine weapon, and all of the riches in this man's space ring, I can give them all to you, as long as you agree to a few of my conditions." Dagassi suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Han Shuo with a serious expression.
"Speak!" Han Shuo bluntly shouted.
"First, before you die, I hope you can protect the lizardmen in my place. In addition, if we have the chance to meet again, I hope that you can agree to another condition of mine. I won't say what it is for now, but you must agree to it. "Dagassi looked at Han Shuo with a grave expression as he spoke lowly.
"With you here, who can touch the lizardmen? As long as you are willing to spend some time, at least in this layer of the underground world, the lizardmen can easily dominate this layer. What can I help you with?" Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he asked in a puzzled manner.
Shaking his head, the Ancient Lizard King sighed lowly, "I can't stay in the underground world, or else the lizardmen will be exterminated. There are some things you won't understand, perhaps you'll understand a few things the next time we meet.
After I talk to my child, I will leave this place to take revenge on the bastard who imprisoned me. Perhaps we will never meet again, because I will most likely face death. However, if we can meet again, I believe your strength will be far greater than this. I look forward to your growth, and if I don't die, perhaps you will be able to help me. "
The Ancient Lizard King Dagassi was a creature even more powerful than the Lord of the Flames. Han Shuo found it hard to imagine any person or creature that could kill him. This time, he was prepared to die when he left. Han Shuo didn't know how he could help him in the future, but for Han Shuo, the enormous benefits in front of him clearly outweighed his worries for the future.
Therefore, he only hesitated for a moment before nodding his head in agreement, promising, "As long as I don't die, I will help you take care of these lizardmen. However, my abilities are limited, and I can only do my best. Also, the next time we meet, I hope your conditions won't be too difficult to fulfill. "
"Haha, good, very good!" The Ancient Lizard King Dagassi laughed heartily. He didn't make Han Shuo swear an oath to the gods, and straightforwardly tossed the divine artifact "Starry Sky" and Celt's space ring to Han Shuo. He then said to Han Shuo, "I believe you. Let's go, I'll help you get the magic crystal mine. Also, I'll give an explanation to those children who worship me."
Han Shuo took Celt's space ring and scanned it with his mental strength. He was immediately shocked by the dazzling wealth inside. Multicolored crystals were sparkling and translucent, and all kinds of gold, silver, and jade were piled up together in a dazzling line-up. Celt had probably plundered the golden dragon or obtained it from the underground world.
In addition, there were some weapons and equipment that were surrounded by magical elements. They should have been refined by the hands of a Great Alchemist. There were also three ownerless crystal cards with a face value of 100,000 gold coins. Anyone could take these ownerless crystal cards and directly withdraw gold coins.
It was just as Dagassi had said, the items in Celt's space ring were definitely worth a million gold coins. If he gave all the crystals, gold, silver, and jade to Phoebe to sell, it might even be worth more than a million gold coins.
"Alright, I'll go with you." Han Shuo agreed. He raised his head to look at the corpses on the ground, hesitating for a moment before asking Dagassi, "The Redbud Knights and dark elves you killed, their armor and weapons are also pretty good. In addition, there might be even more gold coins in their pockets. If you don't mind, can I go with you after I'm done?"
Dagassi laughed involuntarily. Just as he was about to agree, his eyes suddenly lit up, "The armor isn't suitable for my children because their body structure is different from humans. However, the weapons can be used. How about this, I'll leave the armor and other items on the corpses to you, and leave the weapons for my children to use. What do you think? "
"No problem." Han Shuo readily agreed, then chuckled, "Wait a moment, I'll quickly gather these things."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo took out the skeletal staff and chanted an incantation. Rows of skeletal warriors appeared in front of Han Shuo, spreading out like snowflakes. Under Han Shuo's command, they collected the valuable weapons, armor, quiver, and money from the corpses.
Just as Han Shuo took out the skeletal staff, the Ancient Lizard King suddenly appeared in front of Han Shuo like lightning, his eyes fixed on the skeletal staff in Han Shuo's hand. His expression was clearly different from before.
Han Shuo jumped in fright, but when he saw the strange look in the Ancient Lizard King's eyes, he hastily put away the skeletal staff and took a step back, feeling a bit guilty, "What's wrong?"
After Han Shuo put away the skeletal staff, the Ancient Lizard King focused all of his attention on Han Shuo. The Ancient Lizard King's astonished gaze was focused on Han Shuo, causing Han Shuo's hairs to stand on end, not knowing what the Ancient Lizard King was thinking.
After a while, the Ancient Lizard King suddenly laughed, "Brat, it seems like we really are fated to meet. Do you know the origin of the skeletal staff in your hand?"
Han Shuo stared blankly, then looked at the Ancient Lizard King in shock, cautiously asking, "Don't tell me you know?"
"Heh heh, it seems like you don't know anything. The skeletal staff belonged to my former master, do you want to know the secrets of the skeletal staff?" The Ancient Lizard King said to Han Shuo with a bit of excitement.
"Your former master!" Han Shuo was shocked, then exclaimed, "You're from the Calamity Church?"
"Calamity Church? What kind of organization is that? I've never heard of it." Dagassi replied with a frown, then sighed, "Since the skeletal staff is in your hands, it means that my master is either dead or no longer on this plane. I don't know where my master is right now, ai!"
Hearing that Dagassi didn't know of the Calamity Church's existence, Han Shuo thought for a moment, then asked again, "What realm are you at, how long have you lived?"
"When I was still a mutated lizard, I followed my master. I'm now a rank five super rank magical beast. As for how long I've lived, even I don't know, but I know that I've been sealed in this place for almost five thousand years. "Dagassi explained to Han Shuo with a smile, his attitude towards Han Shuo even more cordial than before.
As expected of an old monster! Han Shuo exclaimed in his heart. No wonder Dagassi didn't know about the Calamity Church. The Calamity Church's history was less than a thousand years, so the Ancient Lizard King definitely didn't know of the Calamity Church's existence. It seemed that this skeletal staff's origin was even more ancient, and it wasn't just related to the Calamity Church.
"Can you tell me about this skeletal staff, as well as what happened back then?" Han Shuo was completely baffled, and very much wanted to know all the secrets of the skeletal staff.
"Heh heh, when you understand the mysteries of the skeletal staff, you'll know what happened five thousand years ago. Regardless of whether his master had died in this plane or left early, he would definitely leave behind the sequence of events in the Skeletal Staff. As long as you truly grasp the skeletal staff, you'll definitely be able to learn everything from it. Right now, it's useless even if you know. Furthermore, the things I know definitely won't be as detailed as what master left behind. You'd better figure it out yourself. " Just like grand magus necromancer Wolf, the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi also didn't tell Han Shuo the secrets of the skeletal staff. He only left Han Shuo a direction to uncover the truth.
"Your strength has already reached rank five. Isn't that the same as a demigod? Is there an existence more powerful than you in this world?" After cursing Dagassi in his heart, Han Shuo suddenly recalled Dagassi's words and exclaimed in surprise.
"My strength is considered very strong in the Profound Continent. However, I can tell you that the Profound Continent isn't as simple as you think. There are definitely many beings like me in the Profound Continent. If those powerful existences from five thousand years ago still remain in the Profound Continent, then there will definitely be existences more terrifying than me. You must know this in your heart." Dagassi stared deeply at Han Shuo and cautiously instructed Han Shuo.
After hearing Dagassi's words, Han Shuo was once again taken aback. Currently, in the various countries of the human world, the most powerful beings that had appeared were sacred rank experts. Han Shuo had never heard of a demigod expert that surpassed the sacred rank. If he hadn't met Dagassi this time, Han Shuo definitely wouldn't have known that the Profound Continent still had a rank five super ranked magical beast that was on par with a demigod.
According to Han Shuo's understanding, a powerful being like Dagassi should be able to walk unhindered in the entire Profound Continent. However, Han Shuo couldn't detect the slightest bit of arrogance in Dagassi's words. On the contrary, Han Shuo discovered that Dagassi seemed to be in awe and trepidation, without the slightest bit of arrogance or conceit. He even said that there was an existence even more powerful than him in the Profound Continent.
Dagassi was already a rank five super ranked magical beast that possessed the strength of a demigod. If there was an existence even more powerful than him, then what kind of terrifying existence would it be? Could it be a "god"?
Han Shuo simply didn't dare to imagine this question. After hearing Dagassi's words, his mind immediately became a mess. Seeing that the large number of skeletal warriors had already sorted out the armors, weapons, and even the quiver of money, Han Shuo didn't continue thinking about this question. He opened his mouth and said, "Who cares how powerful the existence is, I only want to live my own life. I'm a person with very little ambition, hehe, I shouldn't have any conflict with that kind of person."
Dagassi sighed in his heart, but didn't say it out loud. He looked at Han Shuo with some emotion, as if he was looking at his master that he hadn't seen for thousands of years and didn't know whether he was dead or alive. A strange light flickered in his eyes.
"Brian, do you want me to go with you?" Emily listened for a while, her mind also a bit confused. Seeing Cecilia and the others who had escaped Celt's pursuit slowly approach with some fear, Emily hurriedly kept a distance from Han Shuo and said to Han Shuo.
At this moment, Han Shuo also discovered that Cecilia and the others were walking over timidly. They were obviously afraid of the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi's existence. Their movements were as slow and light as possible, afraid that they would anger Dagassi.
