Everyone stopped when they heard the words of the young black dragon, and the fairy spirit dragon that had been standing in the canopy of the tree also flapped its butterfly-like dragon wings and flew to a higher tree to overlook the underground cave landscape, and sure enough, they found that in the forest composed of fir and pine, not far in front of their location, that is, next to a stream outside the Cuifeng Valley, there were several houses inhabited by humanoids.

It was the house that the nezumi scouts used to live outside the valley.

Originally, the patrol of the nezumi scouts was to guard against the sneak attacks of the lizards and the stoneblind barbarians, after all, the beasts were no different from food to them.

But now that they all belong to the purple dragon, the scout's patrol seems redundant.

But there were still people patrolling the border there every day, and once before the young black dragon fled to the Red Algae River in the cave, he was attacked by several nezumi scouts wearing leather armor and holding short swords or crossbows.

Therefore, the memory of this is also very deep, they finally got rid of the group of big rats in the dark last time, although it tastes good, but it doesn't want to play a chase with these things in the forest, so it emphasized.

"They're good at stealth, and they have a keen sense of smell! they can smell hundreds of meters away if they want to!"

"I almost got bitten off my scales!"

The young black dragon tilted its head and muttered to the lizard looking down at it.

"Got it! I'll go check it out first! Don't move here, wait for me to come back!"

Gordon, who turned into a lizard, nodded slightly, and then jumped down from the canopy of a tree man more than three meters tall in a few ups and downs.

It's in a metamorphosed state, and there's nothing better than it to get in.

"Eh, wait for me! Golaton! I can help you too! I won't make a mess!"

The fairy dragon Di Lisa hurriedly followed, she flapped her little wings, and shuttled through the broad-leaved forest.

Gordon didn't have any opinions, fairy dragons can be described as natural darlings in the forest, as long as they don't want to take the initiative to appear, it is difficult for ordinary creatures to spy on them.

As for the Forest Spirit Maiden and the Treant Anlu, as well as the priest Shuster, they are also considered veteran adventurers, and they know that what they can do now is to restore their state to the peak, and they don't have to worry about other things for the time being.

However, Mirivia, a forest spirit girl, still summoned her animal companion, a falcon with dark feathers, as a warning.

And Anlu the Treant also began to transform himself, as before, and began to change into a form suitable for battle.

The trunk branches extend and the roots at the bottom begin to take root in the earth, listen to the structure of the forest, and then perform a ritual of invocation on the nearby trees, and if necessary, summon seven or eight tree men to serve it.

As for Shuster, he was already praying for divine grace as a preparation before unleashing the divine arts.

Only the young black dragon was looking at this bold adventurous team in its opinion.

Although all of them are not bad, it is too whimsical to challenge an elderly purple dragon.

But now that it's in a state of embarrassment, it has no choice.

If only time could be turned back.

It wouldn't have gone to play under the arch of the dead tree with Didick, and came here in a daze.

In the Black Oak Swamp, under the protection of his mother, he can eat meat every day.

Unlike here, eating a tail-long underground blind fish broke the hearts of the brothers.

"Still, it seems like you can ask them how to go back!"

It suddenly occurred to the young black dragon that it seemed that it could call for help from the people here, and it would be great if it could get them back to the Black Oak Swamp.

As soon as he thought of it, Tiramtes stood up from his squat and began to think about who he should ask for more safety.

So, after careful consideration, the young black dragon chose a more harmless object for humans and animals.

A forest spirit girl named Mirivia.

Although she was holding a huge bow and crossbow, it didn't scare Tiramtes as a black dragon at all, you know, although the recipes of black dragons are extensive, ** creatures are their fetish, especially the meat of females.

Therefore, compared to the god priest and a wooden tree man, it is still more inclined to the female forest spirit girl.

After all, as a black dragon, even if it is a hatchling, how can it be afraid of the creatures on the recipe!

So, emboldened, it began to approach Milevia, who was adjusting the bowstring.

On the other hand, Gordon and Dilisha have also found their goal.

The figure of the Nezumi Scout.

They have vole-like gray-blue fur that doesn't look like what Gordon had seen in the Karando sewers, well, if you want to describe it.

Presumably, the rat people in this underground cavern are wilder and larger.

They all act in humanoid form, that is, in half-rat form, which is as tall as a human.

The reason why there is such a big gap, Gordon, who has the inheritance of the dragon, is naturally clear.

It's because the two sides are not the same species at all.

The rat people in the Karando sewers are a product of nature.

And this underground cave is a beast (nezumi).

Their ancestors were once humans, but they were cursed by bestiality and transformed into beasts (ratmen), similar to the cats on Rika Island.

There were three of the nezumi scouts, walking the forest paths in a zigzag pattern, making their daily patrols, but Gordon observed that they were not patrolling further into the forest, but around the valley.

Gordon did not do it immediately, but waited with Dilisha to watch the changes, and waited until an hour later, Gordon, who had roughly figured out the outer defenses, took Dilisha back to the original place.

And the half-human, half-deer girl, the priest with the staff in hand, and the black dragon lying at the feet of the tree man, with his head hanging down, all cast their gazes on Gordon the moment they saw it.

"How's that?" said Priest Huster first.

"Not bad. ”

The lizard's head was held high, its legs were erect, and it looked at the team members, and said.

"The outer defense is very rudimentary, obviously the lords here do not have high defense measures against foreign creatures, but judging from the route planning of their actions, it is obvious that the defense was very strong in the past, but because of the recent reduction of manpower, I observed for a while and found that there are many loopholes, we can do it without alarming them and sneak in. ”

Gordon replied truthfully.

"Maybe it's because in the past, there were many enemies of the beast people here, but now that they are under the command of Zilong, there is no danger in this underground. ”

Mirivia made a guess.

"Well, that's probably the case. ”

Gordon nodded in agreement, then added.

"By the way, I already have a preliminary plan, you can listen to it, and if you have any opinions, you can say it. ”

"Our goal this time is simple, that is, to clear this valley without alarming other monsters. ”

Of course, not for any other reason.

Even though they had other more convenient ways to observe the condition of the Silvermoon River, such as having Mirivia's animal companions share their vision with it, or the Faerie Dragon helping it observe and teleport to it with a psychic link, they could avoid fighting.

But not Gordon.

Because this valley is the only way back to the surface world, Gordon will never allow the enemy to be attacked behind it.

Besides, it was a storming team on the battlefield before, and due to the mutation, it didn't get a few talents, and here, it won't let go of any opportunity to become stronger.

Simple, straightforward and brutal.
