Chapter 263 Undercover

Pushing the scorpion away from the dragon beast, Bain gritted his teeth and ran towards the rock wall.

He planned to use the rock wall to see if he could make the dragon beast hit the wall and make it dizzy.

In the howling wind, Bain could hear the screams of the scorpion and the roar of the dragon beast.

His adrenaline was bursting like never before, and the spell that had melted into stone had been released.

Although Melting into Stone allows the ranger to blend into the stone and avoid it, if the stone breaks, the caster will also be vulnerable to subsequent damage.

Bane didn't know if he would survive, but he decided to take the chance, just as he always did.

Seeing that he was about to touch the rock wall, Bain felt that his body not covered by leather armor was being burned by flames.

He knew that the dragon beast was not far away from him now.

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Bain used all his strength and jumped towards the rock wall.

At this moment, an angry voice suddenly sounded.

"grass--!"

Almost at the same time as he heard the sound, Bain suddenly felt the heat behind him suddenly lessening.

In the eyes of Xie and another drow, a steel giant suddenly appeared in the cave, and then punched away the dragon beast that tried to kill Bain.

The body of this steel giant reached almost 9 meters, and thick white mist overflowed from its limbs, bringing with it a hint of coolness.

After knocking away the dragon beast, as the steel giant's limbs lit up red, its huge body suddenly became much more agile.

Fists about the same size as a dragon's head rained down on the body of one of the dragon beasts, sending it flying away.

Then, the colossus suddenly made a dragging movement towards the three of Bain.

A gentle but powerful force instantly pulled the three of them to the steel giant.

At the same time, the Colossus instantly shrunk and turned back into the familiar mecha that Bane and Scorpion were familiar with.

Karl jumped out of it without asking who the extra person was, and ran towards the tunnel with the three of them.

The mecha blocked them behind, and even if the two dragon beasts reacted, they could not cause direct damage to them.

The four of them were silent, then quickly passed through the tunnel and ran back to the team.

It was only then that Karl activated his ability again and summoned the mecha back.

At this time, some parts of the mecha's body had shown signs of being corroded by strong acid, but as Carl came into contact with the mecha, those places were quickly repaired.

"Huh~, don't take such a risk next time."

Taking a long breath, Karl covered his forehead and grinned at Bain.

"Sorry, I was a little too impatient. I didn't expect that there were actually two dragon beasts in the cave."

Speaking of this, Bain looked at Elise with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Elise bowed apologetically, then looked at Drow who was standing next to Bain and Scorpion, looking at the camp curiously and asked:

"Who is this?"

Following her inquiry, everyone present focused their attention on the drow.

"Ah! I haven't had time to introduce myself yet, hello everyone, my name is Ai Xi, and I am a psionic warlock. Hmm~, why does your team look so much like the one on the Rose Sect's bounty order?"

Luoluo greeted everyone generously and introduced his name. Zhuoer, who called himself Ai Xi, looked at everyone and said bluntly something that made people nervous.

She wore an off-shoulder leather armor paired with a war skirt that allowed for easy movement.

This piece of equipment appears to be very light, but its defensive effect is far inferior to its aesthetic effect.

Seeing her, Karl shamefully thought of a black-haired and black-skinned elf wearing purple bikini armor.

"Are you a killer hired by Rose's sect?"

Letting the nitrogen injection device of the power armor re-enter the state of activation, Karl looked at the drow elf and his tone gradually became solemn.

After glancing around a few times, the drow who called himself Ashe raised his hands with a charming and philistine smile on his face.

"If you can give me more treasures, I don't mind being bribed. In fact, since the development of the Rose Sect, it has become increasingly difficult for us to do this."

Upon hearing the other party's confession, everyone including Karl twitched their mouths slightly.

This was also the first time they had seen such a frank and greedy guy.

"Why do you want treasure? Although the Underdark Region relies on property transactions, food and equipment are hard currency, right? Also, your equipment only has the minimum defense enhancement, right?"

As an artificer, Karl could see at a glance that the opponent's clothes had no defensive capabilities.

In a dangerous dark place, a guy who thinks about treasure all day long does not have decent equipment. This is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

"Hmph! When I save enough money, I will go to Sarn in Khorvaire to be a rich woman and never come back here! As for the equipment! Hey! I am an eighth-level psionic warlock after all. This suit It doesn’t matter if you have clothes or not!”

He proudly introduced his profession and level, and Ai Xi raised his head slightly, looking pretentious.

Unknowingly, everyone's wariness towards her was reduced a lot because of her appearance.

Karl winked at Hope, who stepped forward and took out a box of gold and silver jewelry from the dimensional bag.

This was one of their previous gains from other giant ruins.

"These, hire you to follow us back to Storm Bay. You know Storm Bay, right?"

Before Karl could finish speaking, the drow who called himself Ashe had already pounced on the treasure.

A figure that could rival Hope's was squeezed onto the treasure chest, completely displayed in Karl's eyes.

Quickly putting away these treasures, Ai Xi put on her charming and philistine smile again, nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay! Okay! Don't talk about sending you back to Storm Bay, even if you want to keep me, it's okay!"

As she spoke, she bit a few coins, as if to identify the quality of the gold.

After confirming that they were all rich in gold, the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Rest where you are! Head towards the Gate of the Earth in two hours!"

Seeing Ai Xi's money-obsessed look, Karl did not completely relax his vigilance, but used Xiu Xiu's reputation to secretly observe this guy's background.

After transforming the mecha back into the truck, Karl walked in first and sat directly in his seat.

When he went to rescue Bain just now, he used the enlargement technique and the acceleration technique one after another.

The latter was okay, but the former made Carl feel abnormally exhausted because he made the mecha too huge.

As time passed, Karl became a little unable to hold on.

This is also the reason why Karl did not kill the two dragon beasts, but escaped with a few people.

The opponent's HP is still very thick, but Carl can only deal such a burst of damage.

If you stay any longer, when the effects of Carl's enlargement and acceleration spells are all gone, and he himself becomes dizzy due to the side effects, maybe everyone will die there.

Hope, who had a very tacit understanding with Karl, immediately saw that something was wrong with Karl's situation. She winked at Ying, and she got into the car immediately. Then she sat next to Karl and, like all gentle girlfriends, put Karl in front of him. Hold it in your arms.

Two hours later, Carl almost regained his energy.

Everyone got on the car one after another, and the procession headed toward the Gate of the Earth.

Ashe was placed in a construct far away from the truck, but considering her level 8 strength, Karl arranged for her to have a more luxurious interior space.

She didn't seem to mind this, and instead happily regarded it as her own nest.

And just ten minutes after the team left, several drow wearing matte light armor came to the location where Karl and the others were stationed just now.

These drow reveal their spiritual energy outside their bodies, as if they are looking for something.

After a long time, a drow finally found their target on a hidden rock.

Several people gathered over and found something written on the rock with stripes similar to spiritual suction script.

The drow looked at each other, and then directed their spiritual energy towards those lines.

The lines carrying information were activated as they were covered with spiritual energy. In the hazy hallucination, a person who looked exactly like Ashe told everyone about the news about Karl and others and the arrangements for certain things.

After a while, they opened their eyes.

"Very good, the Saint has successfully blended into the target's team. Although the target is still wary of the Saint, with the Saint's charm, it will be a matter of time to capture the target. Next, we will see our colleagues on the other side of the Gate of the Earth. How to act."

After saying this, the drow quickly cleared away the writing on the rock and then disappeared here.

Obviously, Ai Xi is not Ai Xi, but the pseudonym of Airosine.

…

Storm Bay, Bastion Base.

On a stormy night, Mitris was reporting to Nia about the situation in the bar, wearing something similar to an evening dress.

In just a few days, this bar has already collected far more information for them than before.

Joanna and the others used some of this information to specially arrange corresponding tasks for adventurers who were not strong enough to solve them.

The low-level adventurers stranded in Storm Bay have a way to survive, and the vitality of the city begins to increase again.

And those adventurers who were eliminated from the audition also rejoined the adventure missions one after another.

Nearly a week has allowed the ecology of Xen'drik's adventure area to become stable again. Just waiting for the advanced adventurers to roughly explore the distribution map of the new creatures, the novices can try to go out for adventure.

"Well, according to the current situation, it will be almost stable in a few weeks, but..."

After seeing the information about the hidden casino, both Nia and Mitris couldn't help but raise their hands and rub their foreheads.

"What Carl said is true. Dog gambling does not deserve sympathy. Although the gambling houses on the surface have been eradicated, these people have spontaneously organized gambling games. Forget it, just ask Joanna to pay attention to their scale. ”

After writing her opinions on the document, Nia handed it to Mitrice, but found that the other party did not leave, and was still looking sad.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Nia, Mitrice said with some embarrassment: "There are no fun activities in the bar. I was thinking about doing some games without gambling?"
