"Lizardmen, we're just passing through," Ron calmly said:
"We don't intend to cause trouble, nor do we have anything valuable. Let us pass, and it's good for everyone."
The Lizardman leader let out a sharp hiss of laughter:
"Nothing valuable? Then what's that on your neck? My tongue can sense its energy fluctuations."
Only then did Ron realize that he was inadvertently wearing the leaf-shaped brooch given by Ailan, which indeed contained a hint of natural energy.
"Last chance, human," the Lizardman leader threatened, the scimitar in his hand glinting coldly:
"Hand over the valuables, and we'll spare your lives."
Ron took a deep breath, and spiritual power began to flow within him:
"Looks like the negotiation failed, Andre, are you ready?"
"I've been waiting impatiently," Andre's eyes had already completely turned golden, and scales could faintly be seen on the surface of his body.
The Lizardman leader roared angrily, signaling his subordinates to attack.
