Chapter 266 Return to the Surface

"Hey! Ashe, why are you so distracted? We are about to reach the surface. Why do you seem to be worried?"

Because he successfully returned to the surface, Carl was not as vigilant as before about this drow who suddenly appeared and joined his team.

After all, in his opinion, if the other party wanted to do something bad, the best time would be when they entered the Gate of the Earth.

But she did nothing at that time.

This greatly reduced her suspicion, making Carl feel that the other party really just happened to appear.

"Ah? What? Who? Uh~, I'm fine, I just... I just feel that the money you gave me is too easy to get. This is simply the most profitable business I have ever done. Otherwise, I will sleep with you for the next month, otherwise I will not feel at ease with this money."

As soon as the voice fell, Ashe felt two sharp eyes falling on her.

Hope and Ying protected Carl on the left and right, and two pairs of eyes of different colors looked at her vigilantly and cautiously, as if to say: How can you eat and take at the same time?

Blinking, Ashe suddenly laughed twice.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding, I just think this money is too easy to get, I'm a little... scared!"

While saying this, Ashe's heart seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't breathe.

Of course, she didn't do this because she lied. For most of the drow in the Dark Region, lying has become almost instinctive.

The reason why she felt chest tightness was because she just thought of a possibility.

'The drow who came to deliver the message said that Elohine launched a rebellion in the city of Bling, and they found out. If this thing succeeds, it's fine. If it fails, my prestige in the sect will definitely be hit.

Once my prestige is damaged, the opposition will inevitably emerge with the atmosphere in the sect. '

This is almost inevitable.

But Ashe never thought that things were worse than she imagined.

Rumors about her fleeing in fear and voluntarily surrendering to the enemy as a slave have now begun to spread within Rose's sect. When she returns to Storm Bay with Carl, she may be surprised to find that the drow she sent here is trying to assassinate her.

But at this time, she still has a fluke mentality in her heart.

'If I return to the sect now to quell the rumors, I will lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get close to Carl.

As long as I let him convert to the Spider Queen, or even just get pregnant with his child, my position in the sect will be stable.

If I get pregnant with a boy with the talent of self-dream, I may be able to get further gifts from the Spider Queen and be promoted to Legend! '

Rose and Elise, two dream-away drow, gave birth to boys, which allowed their respective bloodlines to spread rapidly in the Underdark.

But Ashe's idea is still a bit taken for granted.

If she is also a dream-away drow, through the accumulation of years and Rose's assimilation of her personality, she may indeed be promoted to Legend.

But by then, she might no longer be Ashe, but the carrier of the nightmare spirit.

Hiding the depression of being overthrown and the joy of being undercover in her heart, Ashe initially reached a reconciliation with herself and returned to her previous appearance.

Seeing Ashe's expression change several times in a few seconds, Carl did not delve into what happened to the other party. He just secretly warned himself in his heart to stay away from the other party in the future, so as not to be caught by this guy. He really had to put his ideas into practice.

Returning to his seat, Carl secretly warned himself in his heart.

Suddenly, a ray of light came in from the window.

Immediately afterwards, the light became brighter and brighter, and it also brought a warm feeling.

Carl and others unconsciously squinted their eyes and carefully experienced the long-lost sunshine.

However, this situation did not last long, because Carl suddenly had some bad ideas.

'Wait! Thorin is not doing the same thing! '

Opening his eyes again, Carl looked towards the direction of the cab to confirm.

Seeing that Thorin was still addicted to racing, he was relieved and closed his eyes to enjoy the sunshine again.

After a while, as the drow in the surrounding constructs opened the hatches to look at the outside world, Carl opened his eyes and began to check the surrounding situation.

On the plain in the distance, wisps of smoke were rising. Carl quickly took out the telescope to see that it seemed that a drow tribe was preparing lunch.

Compared with their counterparts in the Underdark, their civilization has become more primitive.

The members of the tribe wore clothes made of hemp and animal skins, barely covering their vital parts.

Compared to covering the body, this is more like a simple leather armor for defense.

Carl even suspected that these things were not processed too much, but just scraped off the grease on the leather, dried it and used it directly.

While watching, Carl suddenly heard Bain's voice.

"I'm afraid there will be some problems on the road ahead. We have too many people, and we may be separated one after another when jumping in space."

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Carl looked into the distance and realized the trouble of this matter.

Scorpion at the side looked at the drow sticking their heads out of the constructs, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about we split into two teams? Carl and the others lead one group, and the two of us and Thorin lead another group? That way, it should be about the same."

When Carl heard this, he felt that this idea was good, but when he saw Iris and Ashe sitting quietly, he changed his mind.

"Two teams are still a bit too many, let's have three teams, and Jialian, Iris and Ashe will lead another team, so that the team can be prevented from getting separated to the greatest extent."

The three people who now have control over the entire construct are Carl, Bain and Jialian, but Jialian only has the most basic authority.

But this is enough for the other party to roughly command the construct to set up a formation or fight.

Soon, the team was stationed in place, and Carl and Bain informed Jialian about the advance of the team, and then distributed it according to the standard of one team of two hundred constructs.

The three teams lined up in a horizontal line and moved forward, with a certain distance between each team.

Soon, they arrived at the border of this area and then jumped to an unknown area.

"By the way... can Jialian and Iris find Storm Bay?"

Sitting in the truck driven by Carl, Hope and Ying asked with some concern.

Neither Galian, Elise, or even Ashe seemed like drow who were familiar with the surface.

"It's okay. Anyway, I've given them enough food. Even if they leave and form their own tribe in the wilderness, it won't be a big hindrance to us.

In fact, it's better this way."

As he was talking, the scene in front of Carl and others suddenly jumped, and they came to an unfamiliar wasteland.

Several giants were hunting a giant beast in the distance. Carl and his presence did not attract too much attention from the giants. Maybe they regarded the truck and the construct as some strange metal ant colony.
