Chapter 39: Captain Miles’s determination

Seeing that Carlos had said such outrageous words without any hesitation.

The admiration of the other four stone-scaled lizards towards Carlos overflowed from the way they looked at Carlos.

“No, Carlos, you are wrong.”

As an elite troop of the stone-scaled lizards, Miles looked at the other four stone-scaled lizards after he finished speaking.

“If you think so too, then you’re wrong.”

Seeing that his team members were all in a state of confusion after hearing the answer, Miles began to answer for them.

“Our main goal is only to lure the blue-spotted frog, that’s all. And we’ve already accomplished that goal.”

“Next, whether Princess Alice, who was attacked by the blue-spotted frog, is dead or severely injured, she will return.”

“We can use the blue-spotted frog to assassinate Princess Alice to stir up the hatred of the other members of the race, thus diverting their attention to stabilize His Majesty Lawrence’s throne.”

Miles said as he looked at his team members. Finally, his eyes stopped on Carlos.

“So, Carlos, you have to pass on the news that we have completed the mission to His Majesty Lawrence.”

Seeing the captain look at him and say this, Carlos vaguely felt that something was not right.

“I have to pass it on to His Majesty Lawrence? Captain, why don’t you go?”

“Because I have a new mission now.”

As captain Miles said this, he looked in the direction of Hopper’s nest.

“If that position is its nest, then there might be other spider monsters.”

“Faced with the alliance between the blue-spotted frog and the rotten-fang boa, we stone-scaled lizards have to find a partner as soon as possible.”

“Since the spider silk of that spider monster can not harm us and can also counter the blue-spotted frog monster, then they are the best partners for now.”

“Moreover, he did not kill Princess Alice immediately at that time. Perhaps he has some needs for us stone-scaled lizards.”

At this point, a hint of determination appeared in Captain Miles’eyes. He said to the other four stone-scaled lizards, “I plan to go to that nest now. If you don’t want to go, you can go back with Carlos.”

The other four stone-scaled lizards raised a question almost at the same time.

“Captain, why do we have to go now? Can’t we go back and get more companions first?”

Miles had obviously anticipated their questions and answered almost the next second.

“It’s very simple. Although Princess Alice’s death is beneficial to His Majesty Lawrence, we have to confirm whether she’s alive or dead, and the way to do that is to go to the spider den.”

“If we don’t come back tomorrow, it means that we can’t form an alliance with those spiders. Carlos, you can attribute the death of Princess Alice and us to those spiders.”

“This will also stir up the hatred of the other members of the tribe. Let them get rid of those spiders as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will become the third force that threatens us sooner or later.”

“If we can return safely, then I will explain the situation then. I will pass the news of Princess Alice’s death to the other members of the tribe.”

After listening to captain Miles’s explanation, the other four stone-scaled lizards fell into deep thought.

Carlos still had a puzzled look on his face. “Then why can’t I go?”

Hearing that, Miles’s gaze shifted back to Carlos.

Carlos could also see the anticipation in his captain’s eyes.

“Carlos, because you’re the only one in my team who has the direction of rare-grade evolution.”

“Your future development is brighter than ours, so you must live on and work hard to improve your strength.”

“That’s the only way. Even if we don’t come back, you can still avenge us when you see that spider.”

The other four stone-scaled lizards that were deep in thought heard their captain answer the question that they had not asked before.

They were relieved, although they did not know if there were other spider monsters in that spider’s nest.

They did not know if they would be able to return alive after this adventure.

However, when they remembered what captain Miles said just now, the eyes of the four stone-scaled lizards revealed the same determination as miles.

“Humph, not only can the spider monster’s spider silk not cut through our heavy stone armor, but the toxicity is also not enough to penetrate it. What is there to be afraid of?”

“So who was the one who asked me just now, did you see how terrifying the spider monster’s spider silk was?”

“Hey, Hey, Hey! Don’t bring up the past again! How did I know that the group of blue-spotted frog monsters were so weak? The spider silk couldn’t even break through our defenses, yet they could cut them into pieces.”

“Admit it, right? hahahaha!”

“…”

After making a joke about the fear of the spider silk, the solemn atmosphere in the team eased up a lot.

“Okay, time is tight. Let’s get ready to go.”

Seeing that the psychological pressure of the team members had lessened a little, Miles gave the order to act.

“Roger!”

After the four stone-scaled lizards replied, they looked at Carlos.

“Wait for us to come back, kid.”

Miles crawled over and stretched out his tail towards Carlos.

“You have to set off too.”

Carlos understood what the captain meant and nodded.

“I’ll wait for your good news together with His Majesty Lawrence.”

Then, he turned his head and stretched out his tail.

Seeing this, the four stone-scaled lizards crawled over together and also stretched out their tails.

Bang!

With six tails hitting the ground at the same time.

Carlos and Miles began to move in their respective directions resolutely.

During this process, they did not turn back to look at each other. This was the highest level parting gift of the stone-scaled lizards.

…

“Now that I think about it, other than spider silk, there seems to be a lot of strange things about that spider monster.”

While they were swimming towards Hopper’s nest, one of the stone-scaled lizards opened its mouth.

“Not only is it not much smaller than us, but it’s also strong enough to carry Princess Alice on its back.”

“Why didn’t you say that it can also float on the water like a green-footed water strider?”

“It was also carrying Princess Alice on its back while walking on the water. He actually won’t sink!”

“If there are still many of these spider monsters, then as long as we can cooperate, it’s really good news for the entire stone-scaled lizard race.”

As the old captain, Miles did not join in the discussion of the members who were trying to ease their emotions.

At this time, he was cautiously looking around. When he noticed that there was a patch of reeds and calamus that looked a little too dense and that the direction was a little unnatural, he interrupted the discussion of the members.

“Shh! He might be coming!”
