Chapter 187 Three Punches Shattered My Dream of Becoming the Tiger King
"That..."
After a moment of silence, a female adventurer who had no male companion or whose male companion was left behind by the drow raised her hand, as if she wanted to say something.
Like the other adventurers, she looked only about 14 or 15 years old.
Hope, who heard the noise, fixed his eyes on her, and then motioned her to continue with an encouraging look.
The girl seemed to be sure that she had finally escaped from the clutches of the drow. After taking a deep breath, she said timidly:
"When we were captured, I heard the conversation of the drow. They didn't seem to think that we would interfere with their good deeds when they captured us girls, but wanted to use us as sacrifices."
After that, she put down her raised hand.
The scene fell into an awkward atmosphere. No one believed what she said, and even the girl herself lowered her head in embarrassment.
And this situation continued until Carl spoke.
"If they really think that the so-called Rose can listen to their prayers, they might do such a thing."
Although even Carl himself did not believe that Rose's power could penetrate Eberron across the sea of stars and the golden dragon ring, those who engage in religion have always been very abstract, who knows what they think.
According to Carl's idea, maybe the drow's belief in Rose is just a kind of convergence, just like the founder of the giant civilization is called "Annan" (the ancestor god of the giants in DND) by the giants.
This may be just a little bit of insignificant influence of those powerful foreign gods on this universe.
"Speaking of this, Ying, do you know the interpretation of Rose's origin within the drow? They can't believe in an existence without origin, right?"
As Carl spoke, everyone's eyes fell on the only drow elf present.
Some female adventurers still looked at Ying with hatred, but Ying didn't care about it.
"There are rumors that she is a god in the starry sky, and some people say that a certain drow commander in history turned into a heroic spirit, just like the ancestral heroic spirit of the elves."
This answer made Carl nod secretly, because if all the drow had the same view on Rose's existence, it was really possible that she had crossed time and space to influence the drow.
The current situation is closer to Carl's idea.
And the reason why the drow took Rose as their belief so quickly is probably because their previous life was too bland.
The drow is a race created by the giants using the shadows of the elves to punish the rebellious elves.
After the destruction of the giant civilization, they are still fighting the elves.
This situation lasted until the end of the Last War. With the signing of the Throne Castle Agreement, the elves began to devote their main energy to the development of Verena.
Even the drow began to slack off when they could not meet their old opponents.
And when these drow, who had been trained for decades according to the standards of ninjas and deadpools, came into contact with hedonism, it was only a matter of time before their original worldview collapsed.
They could have endured the darkness as long as they had never seen the light.
Carl quickly listed the chain of evidence for his thoughts in his mind, and stopped thinking about it, but continued to move forward with everyone.
The way back to Storm Bay is similar to the way here, just go in the direction away from the center of Xen'drick.
But the specific area you pass through may be different.
When everyone went along the road for a distance, the surrounding environment suddenly changed after a certain moment.
Unfortunately, Carl and his team appeared around a group of carnivores this time.
"Ah--"
Before the rookies could react, a saber-toothed tiger had already pounced towards this side.
Even Hope would not show mercy in this situation. Although the druids pay attention to protecting the ecology, they will not allow the beasts that actively attack to attack their companions.
The strong arms swung out, and the saber-toothed tiger was hit in the abdomen by the sudden fist and fell to the side.
Several adventurers who reacted quickly finally remembered to take out their weapons at this time. They walked out of the team in twos and threes, and aimed their weapons at the surrounding beasts.
But Carl and his two companions had already been fighting with the beasts, and had no time to care about these rookies.
The previous experience of being captured made many of them squat down with their heads in their hands.
I don’t know if these people thought that these beasts would only trap them temporarily, and then someone else would come to rescue them.
A few people who had a little thinking ability but were not very strong had already run towards Carl and his two companions. These people were very insightful and immediately realized that although Carl and his companions were busy fighting, they could still protect a few people around them.
But more people still quarreled in a mess, which made people feel dizzy.
‘I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to think about rescuing these people. They say that we should put aside the plot of helping others and respect the fate of others. Why did I make a mistake at this time? ’
With a sigh in his heart, Carl raised his hand and activated the characteristics of the heavy power armor in the base.
The large silver power armor appeared out of thin air, and the rookies behind him exclaimed.
Carl jumped up and then merged with the power armor.
The power armor at this time is very different from the one Carl used in the underground ruins. Not only is the body more beautiful, but there are also some parts that look like decorations on it.
And from the appearance, it is closer to Megatron in the "Transformers" movie.
"Decepticon! Attack!"
Some middle school students shouted slogans in the operation room. Carl waved his fist and knocked a rushing saber-tooth tiger away directly.
The effect of the thunder fist almost shook its flesh apart, and with a roar, more saber-tooth tigers surrounded Carl.
"Is this a saber-tooth tiger's nest? You go in that direction for a distance first, I will follow after I deal with these guys!"
The tall mecha was soon covered with saber-tooth tigers. These guys with sharp teeth and claws tried to open this steel can with their flesh and blood, but they could only return empty-handed.
The moon spirit marrow fluid in "Megatron" was connected to the moon spirit armor on Carl's body. With the roar of the machine, the more powerful air compressor began to work.
The four external floating guns on the mecha were awakened, the blue light lit up, and the freezing rays intertwined a boundary around.
As if feeling the threat of the huge humanoid steel in front of them, the saber-toothed tigers suddenly roared to the sky.
A gust of wind sounded, and a giant saber-toothed tiger with an obviously abnormal body shape walked out of the woods in the distance.
It looked down at Carl like a king, and a sense of loneliness appeared on the head of the beast.
Although they had not fought yet, Carl instinctively felt that this beast looked down on him a little, and was quite pretentious.
And when the "sights" of both sides met, the giant saber-toothed tiger moved.
The huge body did not hinder its speed and flexibility at all. With just two steps of running, the speed of this beast was far beyond that of ordinary peers.
Carl had no time to prepare at all, and felt that the mecha was hit backwards by a huge force.
Realizing that he was attacked, Carl's eyes condensed.
"Transform!"
With a command, the mecha changed rapidly and turned into a fighter in full view of the crowd.
The built-in dragon crystal was fully operational, and a diamond-shaped flame burst out from the jet nozzle behind the fighter.
With a "whoosh", the fighter rushed out.
The sharp wings cut through the air like a blade, and also left a deep wound on the body of the saber-toothed tiger king.
Confirming that the distance between the two sides was pulled apart again, Carl changed back to combat form in mid-air.
Raising his arms, thick white mist was fired with solid nitrogen.
In an instant, the earth was covered with extreme cold, and the white frost spread rapidly, almost completely covering the saber-toothed tiger king and those ordinary saber-toothed tigers.
"Boom"
The huge body of the mecha fell to the ground, but Carl rushed towards the bombing area filled with white mist without stopping.
The small jet on the mecha released liquid nitrogen to accelerate. When Carl finally came nearby, he jumped high, put his hands together, and then used gravity and his own strength to hammer the ground heavily.
The damage of the Thunder Fist mixed with the thunder wave spread to the surroundings, and the white mist was full of the sound of broken glass.
The rookies in the distance thought the battle was over and cheered happily.
But a huge beast claw stretched out from the white mist at this time.
The sharp claws grabbed a series of sparks on the mecha, but it didn't cause much substantial damage.
Then, Carl's mecha grabbed the beast claw.
"You just looked down on me, right?"
With his palms slightly clenched, Carl pulled back and dragged the saber-toothed tiger king out of the cold.
The opponent's big body was not a decoration. The fat layer and hair actually resisted the damage caused by the cold, barely keeping this guy's ability to move.
But this is actually Carl's fault. Saber-toothed tigers are originally cold-zone creatures, and it is not surprising that they have strong cold resistance.
He is a top student, but he actually forgot this.
Although the strategy has some flaws, Carl's basic qualities are good.
The arm of the mecha exerted a little force, and a solid steel fist hit the chin of the saber-toothed tiger.
The usual thunder fist was launched, and the two huge teeth that looked a little yellow were actually slightly loosened.
"Let you pretend! Let you pretend! Let you pretend!"
Three punches and two kicks, the giant saber-toothed tiger that was just so arrogant died on the spot.
Several saber-toothed tigers that escaped the disaster took advantage of this opportunity to escape from the white fog, ran quickly into the distant forest and disappeared.
After confirming that the giant saber-toothed tiger was dead, Carl directly cut the opponent's carotid artery to bleed it.
When the blood was almost drained, it was put into the giant dimension bag obtained in the dungeon.
"Huh, it's finally solved. Next, follow me closely. I will try to take you away as soon as possible."
Waving to the people behind him, Carl led the team in front, and the group continued to move away from the center of Xen'drick.
At this time, those quick-witted rookie adventurers finally understood why Carl dared to run to rescue them with only three people.
The next journey became much smoother. When the sky was slightly dim, the group finally returned to Storm Bay.
However, when Carl's mecha appeared, it caused a little sensation among the adventurers.
