Demi-human village lizards live with swamps and rivers behind their villages that provide many types of fish.
They never starve because other than they take fish, they also take fish that can already be eaten.
The small fish will be left and they also feed the fish plants and grains obtained from the forest.
However, one month ago, there was a terrifying presence that occupied the rivers and swamps that starved them.
The presence is a crocodile monster that is up to 3 meters high and almost 10 meters long.
The demi-human lizards could not defeat the crocodile monsters due to their extremely hard skin and powerful attacks.
Therefore they decided to let the crocodile monsters stay there and they looked for food outside the village.
"So that's it, crocodile monster huh." Julian nodded his head.
"Why don't you ask the government for help?" Claire asked Dace.
"It's no use, Claire. The king is indeed a good person, but their request for help cannot possibly reach the king's hands because there are nobles who take care of it."
"But since there are some nobles who hate demi-humans, they will definitely not let their request for help get into the hands of the king." Julian explains why the demi-human lizards did not ask the government for help.
"What Mr. Julian said is true, we once asked for royal assistance once but there was no reply from them." Dace said in a bitter tone.
"Well..." Claire wanted to say something but didn't because she knew that her words would have no effect.
"Let's put that aside. Now, I can help you defeat that crocodile monster, but, what can you give me?" Julian looked at Dace seriously.
"We can give up our lives." Dace lowered his head.
"I don't need your lives, I'm an adventurer who travels around places, doesn't need anything valuable, just give me something interesting." Julian smiling.
"...Sir, actually, there is something that can be used in return. However, this is very valuable and I have to discuss with the other villagers." Dace said hesitantly.
"Oh? Alright, I'll defeat the crocodile monster first, with which you can discuss right?" Julian smiled as he understood Dace's intentions.
"Thank you for understanding, Mr. Julian." Dace smiled and lowered his head again.
...----------------...
"Front there is a swamp occupied by a crocodile monster, sir," Dace said as he pointed in front of him.
"alright. Claire and the others just go back to the village and take care of some little trouble there." Julian nodded and asked them to return to the village of demi-human lizards.
"Good, Master. Please be careful." Claire nodded her head.
"Just relax, I also need to move my stiffened body." Julian smiled and warmed up for a bit.
After that, Julian ran towards the direction that Dace had pointed at earlier at high speed while avoiding the tree roots that were blocking the path.
"Miss, is it okay to let Mr. Julian go alone?" Dace asked in a worried tone after seeing Julian leave alone.
"It's okay, you know, our Master defeated the Sea Serpent before. The crocodile monster this time was definitely easier compared to the Sea Serpent." Claire smiled brightly.
"In addition, please tell us what needs to be done" Claire said seriously.
"Ah, yes. There was nothing to do but hunt for food, our village was just short of food" Dace said.
"Alright, then we'll just hunt out the woods. Nimi, Mine, you can do that, right?" Claire asked Nimi and Mine.
"Good, please hunt the many animals so that the villagers can eat quietly. Then I'll go around the village and see the situation around." Claire nodded.
"Good!" Nimi and Mine left immediately.
The two of them had already remembered the way to exit the village area of demi-human lizards. After getting out of there, they immediately went into the forest and started their hunt.
Meanwhile, Claire along with Gael do a tour of the village to see the situation around whether there are other problems or not.
For Dace, he returned to his house because he still had some business as the village chief to settle.
Claire is not good at doing physical work, but she is smart. Therefore, this kind of business would be left to Claire.
He wanted to survey the village environment of the demi-human lizard and would report it to Julian later. With that in mind, Julian can make decisions quickly and precisely without having to waste much more time.
"Is your consumption just fish?" claire asked as the two of them went around the area around the village.
"Right, it's just the fish we get from the rivers and swamps." Gael nodded.
"Let's take a look at the swamp area, I'll check something out" Claire said.
"Alright, please follow me." Gael nodded then pointed the way towards the swamp area.
...----------------...
Julian did not use his dinosaur eyes because crocodiles also included cold-blooded animals. Instead, he maximized all of his five senses.
After five minutes of running, Julian felt a bloodthirsty aura from his front. Julian narrowed his eyes and prepared for the fight.
Julian slowed down his run and settled towards the front so that he could observe the situation first.
He saw that the crocodile monster in front of him was different from what was described by Dace before.
The crocodile monster in front of him had a height of about 3 meters but was over 10 meters long with sharp spines on his back.
"A very big crocodile! I've never seen a crocodile this big in my life, even on the internet, it's just a hand-made painting." Julian said with an excited tone.
Julian walked slowly towards the crocodile monster ahead. He did not try to hide himself because he also knew that an impromptu attack would be useless.
The resting crocodile monster opened its eyes as it felt something approaching him.
He did not roar like most monsters when he saw something he did not know approaching, instead he stood up and looked at Julian with a curious look.
"Oh? Looks like you have some intelligence." Julian raised his eyebrows when he saw the crocodile monster not directly attacking him.
"Rose..." The crocodile monster is creeping slowly.
"I changed my plan. I was going to kill you, but now I want to fight you!" Julian shouted excitedly
Julian started using his dinosaur powers. His body bent because it would transform into a large dinosaur.
He transformed into a dinosaur that was at the top of the food chain, the dinosaur was named Giganotosaurus.
"Then let's get started!" Julian shouted out loudly which made the crocodile monster also become excited.
