Tang En had seen lizardmen a long time ago, so he wasn't as surprised as before when he saw lizardmen again.
He looked at the five lizardmen in the cage with great interest. These three lizardmen were obviously the strongest among the lizardmen. Compared to other lizardmen, they were stronger, their eyes were brighter, and their scales were harder and smoother. This meant that they could often get food, which was very rare in the underground world.
Perhaps it was because they were stronger that they could smell the scent of food in the trap from so far away, and then fall into the trap.
At this moment, being locked in a hard cage, the five lizardmen were extremely irritable. They crazily tore at the cage, and even used their teeth to tear it. However, the strong universal alloy was far harder than their teeth, so doing this only made them more anxious.
"What are you going to do?"
Lola looked at Tang En with a little curiosity. It wasn't that the dark elves hadn't thought of taming lizardmen to work for them before, but several attempts in history ended in failure. This kind of creature had no loyalty and integrity to speak of. Once there was a chance, they would run away, or even turn around and bite their master.
The cost of taming and the benefits were completely disproportionate, so in the end, the dark elves simply gave up on taming them, and directly regarded them as a worthless enemy, carrying out a policy of complete annihilation.
"Don't treat them as intelligent creatures, just treat them as animals."
Tang En took a piece of meat and put 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. They didn't care that they were now imprisoned and immediately rushed forward. For them, when they saw food, immediately eating it was the most important thing.
However, at this time, Tang En quickly waved his hand. "Pa!" The whip fiercely hit the lizardman in front of them, causing it to flip back. Without waiting for the other lizardmen to approach, Tang En whipped them a few more times, causing them to scream miserably.
However, the attraction of food to them was beyond imagination. Even though their bodies were in excruciating pain, they did not give up and charged forward once again.
The expressionless Tang En continued to swing his whip. He was as accurate as a robot, and every time, he would accurately hit the weakest part of their scales. This was especially true when these lizardmen were all male. After a while, even Lola, who was watching from the side, felt the corners of her eyes twitch. She inwardly muttered that Tang En was really ruthless …
If they continued like this, it wouldn't be long before they wouldn't have to think about having children anymore.
The lizardmen charged at the meat again and again, and Tang En forced them back again and again. It was very boring, and it didn't take long for the surrounding dark elves to lose interest.
Little Queen Rowling couldn't help but ask, "Will this work?"
The dark elves had done the same in the past, using cruel corporal punishment to enslave the lizardmen. Unfortunately, the results were not good.
Tang En smiled. With a shake of his hand, another lizardman fell to the ground. "If it's just physical punishment, of course, it won't have any effect."
"It feels like you're doing something useless …"
Lola pursed her lips and said helplessly, "If the lizardmen were a bit more intelligent, it wouldn't be so troublesome."
Tang En nodded noncommittally.
If the lizardmen were a bit more intelligent and could communicate normally, it would be much easier to control them through the power of magic. However, the troublesome part was that the lizardmen's intelligence was very low. At best, it was equivalent to an eight or nine year old child, and they were the type that was mentally retarded.
Even if their wills were controlled through magic, they would only become puppets that wouldn't move at all without orders.
Tang En didn't have that many mages to give them orders one by one. If he had that many mages, it would be better to have them become miners instead of wasting this kind of effort. They could produce more than ten thousand tons in a day.
Of course, Tang En could indeed train a large number of mages now. However, didn't you think that it was a waste to use the power of mages in this aspect?
Therefore, taming the lizardmen and kobolds to be miners was the most cost-effective. Even if they accidentally died, it wouldn't be too bad.
The meaningless whipping lasted for a few hours. The five lizardmen seemed to finally understand that the meat was not something they could touch. They shrank in a corner of the cage with frightened faces. They looked at the meat for a while, then looked at Tang En who was holding the whip, and made a low hissing sound. However, they didn't dare to roar at Tang En.
They finally knew fear.
Looking at the trembling lizardmen, Lola, who was still accompanying them, shrugged. "It seems that they can only be tamed to this extent."
"That's not necessarily true."
Tang En looked at them with a smile. The lizardmen lowered their heads and licked the wounds on their bodies. Although their scales were very hard, Tang En didn't show any mercy when he whipped them. Many of the scales were cracked by him, and they bled a lot.
[Nola, lend me some of your power.]
Nola was already bored and was dozing off. When she heard Tang En's request, she directly shared a part of her power with him. [What do you want to do, it's so boring …]
[Be good, go to sleep.]
At this time, Tang En snapped his fingers, and an emerald green power of life fell on the lizardmen's bodies. The wounds on their bodies quickly healed, and in the blink of an eye, they were healthy again.
The five lizardmen were shocked and frightened. They didn't understand why the "food" in front of them was whipping them one moment and healing them the next.
In the eyes of the lizardmen, everything that could be eaten was food. There was nothing wrong with that.
After healing them, Tang En stood there motionless. The lizardmen saw this and thought that Tang En was tired, so they carefully approached the meat. They hadn't eaten for a few hours, so they were a little hungry.
Just when they were about to touch the meat, the whip in Tang En's hand flew out and fiercely whipped them.
"Gah!!"
Although it only hit one of the lizardmen, they were all scared witless and shrank to the other side of the cage like crazy.
"Are you going to waste time with them like this?"
Laura asked curiously. "Lizardmen are very stupid. Even if you let them know fear now, they will forget it soon."
"Don't worry, they won't."
Tang En showed a very strange smile. "This kind of pain will be firmly engraved in their bones and will be passed down generation after generation …"
Even animals without intelligence could be trained to be obedient. Tang En didn't believe that he couldn't deal with the lizardmen.
"But I'm so bored watching."
Laura said as she stuck to Tang En and gently rubbed his back. Her lips moved to Tang En's ear and whispered, "Let's do something interesting … If you want to play with the whip, I can accompany you …"
Tang En's mouth twitched and he trembled. The reason why he didn't want to come to Shalhera was because he was afraid of this situation. However, there was no other way. He had to come here personally.
"Mother!"
Rowling glared at Laura. "Can you not always be like this? He's my husband! "
Laura licked her red lips and said, "That's why I have to help you keep watch and help you train his skills so that you can have a better life in the future."
"No need! I can do it myself! "
Rowling screamed and rushed up, then … she fell to the ground.
"My good daughter, look at you. You should learn how to walk first."
Laura mercilessly mocked her daughter and pulled Tang En away.
"Wait, wait! At least let me arrange something! "
Tang En knew that tonight's battle was unavoidable. He shouted, "Let them take turns to guard the cage. Take whips. If the lizardmen come to steal meat, whip them. If they want to sleep, whip them. Don't let them rest."
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes!"
"Then hurry up and move!"
The dark elves didn't lack whips. Soon, they each took a whip and stood guard beside the cage, eyeing the five lizardmen covetously.
Tang En, on the other hand, was dragged into the Queen's Palace by Laura.
"Come, eat. This is food I specially prepared for you. It can replenish your energy."
Tang En looked bitterly at the plate of food in front of him. He couldn't tell what the hell it was. It was a little difficult to eat.
He really didn't want to eat those things, so he simply took the initiative. He raised his eyebrows and deliberately asked, "Do you think I need these things?"
Laura was stared at by Tang En's extremely invasive gaze. She immediately went soft. She squeezed her legs together and said with a flushed face, "Of course not. I just want to make you stronger."
"Hmph, I think that's what you mean. It seems that I have to give you a taste of my power."
As soon as Tang En's voice fell, Laura immediately pounced on him, "Give it to me! I want to 'taste' your power! "
Damn, this woman is crazy!!
Tang En simply could not resist her, and was forcibly stripped naked by her at the dining table. Rowling, who was watching from the side, had her eyes gleaming. Just as she was about to come up and help, she was kicked aside by Laura.
"Go away, let this old lady have some fun first!"
"Mom, you're too much!"
Rowling ran out in tears.
Tang En was a little speechless, "Aren't you a little too overbearing …"
"What? Could it be that Sir Divine Envoy wants to have a taste of Rowling? Then you have to satisfy me first … "
"No, I mean you're too — Hiss!"
Tang En sucked in a breath of cold air. Immediately after, he cast "Angus's Partial Hardening Technique" on himself without hesitation.
Since he had boasted, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Just as Tang En and Laura were struggling, Nola, who was hiding on top of Tang En's head, suddenly woke up. She looked at them with sparkling eyes.
Nola pouted. She had been complaining about Tang En in her heart.
Really, he said I could take whatever I want, but he didn't give me a chance. I wasted several days in vain.
After waiting for so long, I finally found a chance to get the materials!
