The young frogmen inherited the powerful physique and strength of their ancestors, so they were obviously stronger than the murlocs. Their physique and strength were not weaker than an adult male's. Often, they could directly smash a murlocs to the ground. Even if there were more murlocs, they were still no match for the frogmen.
Within a few minutes, the murlocs were defeated and killed by the frogmen. Their corpses were taken back to the swamp as trophies.
When the frogmen disappeared, Lin Xiao left with the Naga with a serious face.
From the battle just now, it could be seen that the frogmen's individual strength was not as strong as a Naga's, but they were far stronger than the murlocs. Moreover, they were not weaker than a Naga. Overall, without leveling up, three frogmen could pose a threat to a single Naga.
The mission required them to eliminate five tribes of frogmen, with a population of between five to eight thousand. In total, there were at least twenty-five to forty thousand frogmen.
Fortunately, these five tribes were scattered, so the threat level of a single frogman tribe was less than twenty thousand. This was also the main reason why the mission was rated between eighty points like the previous mission. They could be done separately and individually, so the difficulty was naturally not that high.
However, for Lin Xiao, eliminating the frogmen was much more difficult than eliminating the murlocs. The murlocs could still take advantage of their relationship, but the frogmen did not have that advantage. They had to fight with real weapons.
Returning to the gathering point, after a few days of hard work, the gathering point had already built a few simple tents and a large amount of wood and stone were piled up into a mountain.
Under the command of a few Naga supervisors, a large number of murlocs used these materials to build murlocs huts by the beach.
Lin Xiao was a restless person. After staying at the gathering point for a day, he took another group of Naga out. This time, they did not go to the beach or the swamp. Instead, they went upstream along the north bank of the Blackwater River and took a look at how deep the Blackwater Swamp went into the continent.
This time, he took fifty Naga and two hundred murlocs and walked directly along the river.
Without modern industry, the river had always maintained its most primitive ecology. There were calamus, cattails, water onions, reeds, and other plants all around the river. Some grew in the water, and some grew on the river bank. One had to wade through a path.
By the river, there are many floating plants near the shore, such as daikon, watercress and so on, floating on the water.
There were some submerged plants at the bottom of the lake, such as water lilies, water lilies, and water flowers.
Many insects and small fishes swam among the aquatic plants and nibbled on them.
The murlocs in front of them swam past these aquatic plants. Occasionally, they would break off a green leaf and stuff it into their mouths. Sometimes, they would take out a snail from the bottom of the water and bite it open, digging out the meat and swallowing it.
Murlocs were omnivorous creatures. Whether it was grass, green leaves, insects, fish, etc. They would even eat rotten corpses. They were very easy to raise.
There were many fat freshwater fish in the river. Occasionally, huge shadows could be seen passing by. Lin Xiao's eyesight was very good. He could clearly see that they were huge carnivorous fish, crocodiles, and pythons. However, their team was huge, so these predators didn't dare to come over.
Following the river, they spent more than half a day. After walking for about thirty to forty kilometers, they arrived in front of a large lake.
This was the Blackwater Swamp. There was a large area of deep water near the river. There were no small swamp islands, and it was connected to the Blackwater River. Therefore, it looked like a vast expanse of white lake.
At this point, Lin Xiao had the team stop and observe for a while. Then, he ordered everyone to go ashore.
This was because he had just observed the deep river in front of him. He could faintly feel a faint threat from the river. In such a large lake, there must be a big guy hiding.
It was more difficult to walk on the shore than in the water. There were too many wild grasses. Moreover, from time to time, they would encounter poisonous snakes or other poisonous insects hidden in the grasses. On the way around this large lake that was more than ten kilometers long, more than ten murlocs in front had died in the mouths of snakes and poisonous insects.
Fortunately, after passing through this large lake, they could continue to walk along the river. After spending almost four days and encountering dozens of bold predators along the way, they finally arrived at the end of the swamp after walking for almost two hundred kilometers.
After lingering nearby for half a day, he returned the way he had come. He didn't go around the swamp or directly through it because that would be too dangerous.
Four days later, he arrived at the mouth of the lake once more and saw a large group of swamp people, also known as frogmen, fishing by the lake. He hadn't seen this group of frogmen when he came here, so it was likely that their tribe was in the nearby swamp.
After some consideration, Lin Xiao waved his hand and led his subordinates to slowly approach from behind. He was prepared to test the frogmen's quality.
However, just as he was about to approach, he suddenly glanced into the lake and saw a large shadow slowly approaching the fishing frogmen. He immediately waved his hand and signaled for his subordinates to retreat.
Ten or so seconds later, an incomparably large shadow rushed out of the lake amidst the sound of a huge splash. It bit down on two frogmen and dragged them into the lake.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao clearly saw the appearance of that huge shadow. It was actually an incomparably large crocodile, or perhaps an Overlord Crocodile, also known as a Ferocious Crocodile.
Its appearance was similar to a crocodile, but its body was even larger. Just now, Jinghong had seen that its body was probably over fourteen or fifteen meters long. Its body was covered in horny lumps and was extremely ugly.
This kind of Ferocious Crocodile was extremely violent, fierce, and powerful. Its huge mouth could drag an elephant into the water and swallow a horse in one bite. Its combat strength in the water was extremely strong, and Lin Xiao estimated that if his team were to encounter it, they wouldn't be able to handle it without losing a bunch of cannon fodders.
This was even taking into account Salted Fish's sudden burst of power. Without that burst of power, the casualties would be even greater.
This fellow's crocodile skin was thicker and tougher than ordinary crocodiles, and its constitution was also higher and more resistant to rough conditions. It could withstand a high burst of power without dying.
Following that, the Ferocious Crocodile killed another two frogmen before leaving. The other frogmen didn't even dare enter the water to save their comrades.
At the same time, Lin Xiao stealthily crept up again. While the frogmen were still in shock, he suddenly burst out from the water. He was the first to rush out, and with a thrust of his spear, he threw a frogman into the water. With a backhand thrust, he sent another frogman flying, and with a twist of his thick tail, he sent another frogman flying along with his weapon. With a series of actions, he cleanly finished off three frogmen.
Although the other Naga's actions weren't as stunning as his, they weren't bad either. After all, the Naga that he brought along with him were at least level two, and there were more than ten level three. Their strength was much stronger than the frogmen.
By the time the murlocs rushed up, the battle was already over, and they were just waiting to wrap it up.
The frogmen's corpses were ignored, and they quickly left.
To Lin Xiao, the frogmen were of no use to him in terms of talent or skills, and there was no value in refining them.
A few days later, when he returned to the gathering point, the tribe had already taken shape. Lin Xiao sent a small team of Naga and murlocs back to the original tribe to prepare for the migration. He was going to make his move against the frogmen.
