Chapter 262 There Is Another One

"Hmm~, this Rose sect person is afraid that we don't know there's something fishy going on here!"

Looking at the tunnel leading to the black dragon beast's lair in front of him, Karl crossed his hands on his chest, as if he had seen through the opponent's plot.

At the front of the team, some monitor lizards were lying leisurely in the mud, turning a blind eye to the surrounding army of constructs.

Along the way, Carl had never seen any group of beasts that could see his team without panicking.

The calm behavior of these monitor lizards in front of them clearly put the label of "problem" on their faces.

"Well, it may actually be because these giant lizards have the blood of the black dragon beast. As you know, giant dragons have a wide range of aesthetics, and they are not reproductively isolated from any other race."

On the side, Bain expressed another possibility using his own understanding.

This was not because he had to fight, but mainly because he didn't want to give up the possibility of leaving Blackdramon directly, knowing that the enemy would set up an ambush at the Gate of the Earth.

Seeing that Karl wanted to explain the facts to himself and didn't want to give up, Bain quickly said:

"Let Xie and I go check out the specific situation! You guys wait here. If something goes wrong, it won't be too late for you to rescue us."

Scorpion responded to Bain almost immediately, took a handful of Karl's latest rune stones, and walked out of the truck.

They did not take Thorin with them because Thorin, a dwarf warrior, was too slow to move.

Whether it's Bain or Scorpion, they all have enough means to escape back here quickly after being attacked.

Now that the words have come to this, it is not easy for Karl to continue to stop him. After all, Bain is doing this so that everyone can leave as soon as possible.

After rummaging through his dimensional bag, Carl took out two sets of tightly packed bullets and handed them to Bain.

"If you really encounter that black dragon beast, use this."

Those bullets were incendiary bombs made by Karl using white phosphorus and were not easy to preserve.

But fortunately, the quiver he made for Bane can directly use the bullets in it, preventing a series of problems that may cause when installing bullets.

At the same time, the space inside the dimensional bag and quiver can effectively isolate the air and prevent bullets from causing problems.

After listening to Karl's explanation, Bain put the white phosphorus bullet into his quiver at almost the fastest speed in his life.

"Why do you always like to hide things?"

After confirming that the bullets did not leak white phosphorus from spontaneous combustion, Bain raised his head and teased Karl.

Karl also acted helpless about this matter.

"Isn't this because fire dwarves are too resistant to fire damage? Okay, you two, please be safe."

After patting the shoulders of the two of them, Karl whispered some instructions and watched Bain and Scorpion cross the quagmire where the giant lizards lived and walked towards the deep tunnel.

…

Moving forward along the long and narrow tunnel, Bain and Scorpion could clearly feel that the surrounding air was gradually becoming dull.

A rotten smell permeated the surrounding air, with a somewhat sour and rotten feeling.

This is a problem that often occurs with black dragons and their descendants. Their physiques will gradually change the quality of the surrounding water sources, causing them to be polluted by dragon beasts.

With ten percent caution, Bain and Xie passed through the long and narrow tunnel and came to a cave with a stronger smell of sour rot.

It's said to be a cave, but there is a passage leading upwards.

Bain and Scorpion were able to see the long-lost blue sky through this straight passage.

However, this passage is too far away. At a long enough distance, the passage that should be as big as a football field turns out to be as small as a pea.

Looking around, the black dragon beast with the size of an adult dragon was not here.

This discovery made Bain and Scorpion feel happy and felt that they were finally lucky.

"Let's see how steep the passage is! Maybe we can drive the construct directly up it! The truck may be a little overhanging, but when it reaches the surface, Carl can summon it again."

Taking out a climbing rope with heavy objects tied in two sections from the dimensional bag, Bain called to his wife and walked towards the passage.

The closer they got to the quagmire in the middle of the cave entrance, the stronger the smell of decay became. As a last resort, the two had to put on Karl's special underwater breathing caps to let the bubbles isolate the unpleasant smell.

"A smell of this level is simply scarier than sewers. The air around here is considered to be a real poisonous gas to a certain extent, right?"

Taking a breath of fresh air through the bubbles, Scorpion patted his chest with lingering fear, as if he wanted to expel what he had just breathed in.

Bain, who was walking in front, couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Scorpion's appearance.

"I remember when I first met you, you could even hide in the swamp and be bitten by mosquitoes for two days and two nights. Why can't you even stand the smell now?"

"Hmm~, why torture yourself when you can feel better? Look, the mud is fermented and bubbling. God knows what that black dragon beast has done here."

Pointing at the dark green bubbles that occasionally rose up from below the quagmire, Xie suppressed his nausea and tried not to look at it head-on.

Bain in front shook his head and smiled, then picked up the climbing rope and threw it out.

The weight tied to one end of the rope made it easier to throw the climbing rope. The rope drew an arc in the air, and then fell on the upward rock wall passage.

This passage is still five or six meters above the ground. After the climbing rope was thrown up, Bane activated the climbing rope with a command, so that it automatically found the solid protrusions around it and wrapped itself up.

This process took more than ten minutes. Bane and Scorpion waited patiently until the climbing rope automatically contracted to the appropriate length.

This is a sign that the other end has been fixed.

After looking at each other, Bane and Scorpion tightened the climbing rope and then said the command to contract.

The climbing rope slowly contracted, driving Bane and Scorpion to gradually rise.

Soon, the two climbed into the passage.

"This arc... As expected, only the construct can move forward, and the truck can't climb up."

Tried to climb up for a distance, but the steep slope was a bit difficult even for Bane's body.

"Okay, let's go back and inform Carl and the others. Maybe we can leave before the dragon beast comes back. In fact, even if we encounter the dragon beast, it shouldn't be a big problem. Its return proves that it is full. In this case, as long as we keep running forward, it shouldn't chase us too closely."

Just as Bane was about to take Scorpion back, suddenly, the sky at the end of the passage seemed to be covered by something.

The heartbeats of the two people who were about to leave accelerated and their pupils contracted at the same time.

Looking at the other end of the passage, a black shadow was falling rapidly downward.

"Damn! That dragon beast is back!"

Grabbing the climbing rope, Bane quickly read out the command to extend it, and then slid down the rope with Scorpion.

Without even waiting for the climbing rope to be untied, Bane and Scorpion took a step and prepared to flee for their lives towards the tunnel.

At this moment, the mud pit that had always seemed very calm suddenly fluctuated.

The familiar trembling feeling rose from the hearts of the two again.

Following this, the mud pit suddenly bulged upward.

"Puff--"

Amid the muddy water, a black dragon beast of the same adult size emerged from the depths of the mud.

Above it, a drow with a blue halo all over his body held the dragon beast's dragon horn tightly, trying not to be thrown out by the other party.

After a quick glance, Bane, who was the first to come to his senses, pulled his wife and ran towards the tunnel.

But the dragon beast lay down directly and rolled.

The huge body blocked the way back for the two people at once, and the other dragon beast also poked its head out of the passage.

There are actually two dragon beasts in this cave instead of one!

"TMD, this is too unlucky!"

Cursing in a low voice, Bane quickly pulled out the revolver, adjusted the bullet type to white phosphorus bullets, and then fired at the other black dragon beast that attacked from behind.

They didn't care about the dragon beast that blocked the way, because the drow seemed to be trying to defeat the other party.

If you attack without the other party asking for help, it would be fine if you hit the black dragon beast, but if the attack affects the other party, it will be difficult to deal with.

If it were those ruthless people, they might not care so much at this time, but Bain is a man of particulars.

While her husband was attacking the dragon beast, Scorpion turned back and shouted to the drow: "Friend! Do you need our help?"

Before the drow could answer, the white phosphorus bullet fell on the black dragon beast on the other side.

With the friction between the bullet head and the dragon scales, the compressed white phosphorus in it exploded from the bullet, and the phosphorus fire quickly spread on the dragon beast's body. The intense burning even raised the temperature in the cave a little.

Even though the dragon beast rolled in the mud, the phosphorus fire did not weaken at all.

Scorpion and the drow stopped talking at once. This kind of attack was obviously not suitable for help.

If the black dragon beast rolled one more time, the phosphorus fire would even spread to her body.

"Not for now! You guys attract the dragon beast's attention first, I'll try to get this guy to give way!"

After saying that, she condensed an extremely solid psychic blade in her hand, and then inserted it into the dragon beast's body.

The psychic power then penetrated into the dragon beast's body, and the painful dragon beast spun around and actually hit its body against the rock.

Fortunately, the drow flashed away in time through psychic transmission, otherwise she would have been smashed into a pulp.

Just when the three were about to reunite, another black dragon beast that was painfully burned by phosphorous fire suddenly opened its mouth.

Pale green mist surged out of its throat, which was a sign that it was about to use its breath.

At the critical moment, Bane shot again.

A series of "bang bang bang" gunshots, several white phosphorus bullets hit the black dragon beast's mouth and neck, completely igniting the skull-like dragon head.

But this also angered the dragon beast.

With a loud dragon roar, it put aside the pain in its body and flew straight towards Bane.
