A boy and girl could be seen on a branch of a tall, thick tree; there they were using wooden planks. It took them some time, but they were able to build a decent wooden tree house. They have created a big hole in the trunk to give it more space.
After building it, Rishi installed many Concealment Arrays, and while building his secret hideout, he became an expert at them. Soon, it appeared as if there was nothing there. Next, he installed traps and illusion Arrays to stop any creature from reaching them.
On top of this tree, strange, large, feathered Birds used to live, due to which no creatures dared to come close to it. This was also one of the reasons Rishi chose this place. Next, he said goodbye to Kajal and left. Before leaving, he hunted some Beasts around and created some shadow soldiers to guard this place.
Rishi used his 'Shadow Cloak' skill and started exploring the area further; this time he was extra careful because of the Lizardman. He soon reached the place where he had first seen them, and he had to use his tracking skills to track them. He followed the traces, and soon he appeared in an area of forest with most trees and bushes.
He used his 'Shadow Sense' and noticed the presence of many lizardmen. He waited for them patiently. One of them separated from the others and started to move far from them; Rishi moved through the shadows and followed him. The Lizardman was just a little far from others.

It glided through the air and appeared behind the lone Lizardman. The next moment, a circular ring appeared around the Lizardman, and it got cautious.
Before it could even understand the situation, multiple chains appeared and bound it. It released a cry for help, but no one was able to hear it. Before it could try to break the chains, a boy appeared behind him and hit him on the back of his head, making him unconscious.
The boy put the Lizardman's body on a giant sword before disappearing. The strange part was that no one noticed it. A member had been taken away below their noses. The noses of lizardmen were praised for being able to smell kilometers, but here they could not even sense someone just meters away from them.
Rishi brought the Lizardman to a far place, where He used his 'inspect' skill on it, and a window appeared before him.

A lot of information appeared before him, and after reading it, he learned a lot. He then used his 'Mind Reader' spell and put his hand on the head of the Lizardman. This time, he found out many things. There was a village of them where almost three hundred Lizardman lived.
He also learned about their strength: they were six Epic Stage Lizardmen, and their leader was a priest. They also had a cavalry unit That had fifty people on it. They rode a strange, ferocious creature called Raptor.
The Lizardman race is a natural-born warrior race, so there were many warriors even in these villages with such a low population. The infantry mainly relied on their long, sharp claws and physical strength. The Cavalry was made up of talented rare variants; they looked red-colored.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrom the images he saw in his mind, they were shorter, hunched-back bipedal creatures. They had small tails and muscular legs. They used a Spear and shield and rode ferocious raptors; they were a force to be reckoned with.
Rishi was surprised that this brat knew this much, and soon he found out why: this was the son of one of the Epic Stage Infantry class commanders.
"It looks like I picked the wrong guy and the right guy at the same time," he laughed awkwardly. "Now that I have messed up his mind, I can't even leave him back, pretending nothing happened."
"Sorry, Kajal, but it looks like this will be a mess." He said this before sighing. He then took out his tool and extracted the dragon's blood. This guy had 200 ml(milliliters) of dragonblood, which filled Rishi's eyes with greed. Multiple questions appeared in his mind: how could they have this much dragonblood?
After he was done, Rishi thought of a plan. He brought the Lizardman back with him and left some drops of his blood in his hand. It looked like he had fought and lost his hand before getting dragged away. Soon the other Lizardman discovered it and informed its father.
When he saw the hand of his son, the lizardman commander became enraged. He was a seven-foot-tall giant Lizardman. He gathered 20 more soldiers and started tracking down the marks left behind. It didn't take him long before he found out the location.
He had come to the outer part of the forest. The area was a little inside the swamp. At first, the Lizardman was conflicted, clenching his hands so tightly that he injured himself. But when he heard the cry of his son and smelled his presence nearby, He finally made a decision.
Enraged, he started moving through the swamp and appeared in the area. He found the body of his son tied upside down. He was tied in black chains close to the water's surface, and blood dripped from his hand. Below, multiple strange fish were jumping up to take a bit; some even succeeded, which made the cries of the Lizardman louder.
The commander was not able to see this, so he charged with his soldiers and started driving the fish away, but these fish were not giving up. He thought he would soon eliminate them, but when he was fending off fish, the chain that had bound him soon loosened, and he fell into the water.
Multiple ferocious fish devoured him in seconds. The eyes of the commander bulged out, and he released a terrifying roar that shook even trees. He stomped on the water angrily and created so much force that the water was pushed away. Tears flooded down his eyes.
He had lost his most beloved son. He looked at the place where he had been devoured. He wanted to eliminate these fish and the one who brought his son here from this world.
