"There are three pathways."

Rhodes reached out and pointed forward.

"One connects to here, the other connects to the north of the tunnel, I don't know where the road leads, and the other is a long drive into the ......... I can feel the strong elemental aura here, I think this lava may not have formed naturally, according to Bobo before, we are already very close to the tower, I suspect that this lava is very likely to flow from the side of the Burning Fire Plains, one of the Seven Illusion Realms, but it is not known for sure, so ............... I have a suggestion that in order to avoid any problems, we need to have a well-thought-out plan. ”

At this, Rod paused, and then looked at the people in front of him.

"We're going to split into three groups, stay here all the way, go all the way to see where the passage to the north leads, and continue all the way back to see if the road leads to the Tower of the Illusion as I thought. Then we'll make a decision........." Rhodes said, turning his head to look at the canary and the little bubblegum. “……… The two of you are staying here, just in case, the other might come out of here to check on the situation. At that point, if they find out that our manpower will be in trouble, so you should delay here as long as possible, and if you can't beat it, don't make a move, just run back and tell the others to get ready for battle. ”

"I'm against it!"

Hearing Rod's words, the little bubblegum immediately raised her hand and shouted loudly, fortunately there is a masking enchantment here, otherwise the little guy's loud voice would have completely exposed their location.........

Hearing Little Bubblegum's answer, Rod frowned.

"For what?"

In the face of Rod's inquiry, Little Bubblegum immediately stood up, and then she crossed her waist with one hand, pointed to Rod in front of her with the other, and said solemnly.

"It's so unreasonable. Leader, my eldest sister and I have worked hard to come to this world with you, but we are not here to hold you back! Don't try to leave us behind, we demand fair, equal and just treatment! Let's not play soy sauce in the back, you touch your conscience and think about it, which DKP did my big sister and I come to for so long when we fished in troubled waters and brushed out soy sauce?! ”

"It's not a game, bubble ..............."

"I know it's not a game. But my big sister and I aren't ordinary players. We fought with Sister Irene, you didn't see it at that time, but Sister Ireneen must have seen it, and our skills are not a problem, right! Sister Irene? ”

"Uh-huh..............."

Faced with Little Bubblegum's inquiry, Irene was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Indeed, in terms of combat skills alone, these two young ladies are quite clever. Even more powerful than many powerful people in the Night Nation. ”

"But you don't have the right mentality!"

Rod shook his head and continued.

"This is reality, not a game, if you blindly fight according to the way the game, you are likely to die."

"My big sister and I are not such stupid people, and the environment here is perfect for us to fight! Commander, you also know the way, if you want to say that there is a fire element here, there is only a big sister. Even the regimental commander is inferior to her in this regard! And we always have to face all this, Commander, you can't lock us up for the rest of your life. If we can't get acquainted with it as soon as possible. Sooner or later, it's a matter of early and late death. ”

"Uh..............."

Hearing Little Bubble Gum's answer, Rod was stunned for a moment, at this time, if Seven Love was here, then he still had something to say, but unfortunately, now Little Bubble Gum is right, this is the world of the fire element. And here, even Irene and Lydia could not do better than Canary, who had mastered the supreme authority of the fire element. Not only that, but Bubble Two also added fuel to the fire next to it.

"That's right, sister. Don't worry about being brave. It doesn't matter if you die anyway, the captain can resurrect you as his elves, just like us. Then we will be able to be in the ............ forever It hurts! ”

"Don't listen to her nonsense."

Rod shook off his right hand that had just smashed on Bubble Two's head, and then looked at the two of them with a blank face.

"You know, death is uncomfortable, and I can't guarantee that I will be able to revive you. It's like insurance, you may not be able to redeem it when you have an accident, and you may even be repaid by the insurance company, just because you didn't read the terms clearly when you signed the contract. The conditions for the resurrection are very strict, even I can't guarantee 100% success, don't gamble your lives on such a frivolous thing. All right......... Let's talk about ..............."

"I don't care anyway, I suggest doing it in a fairer way! It's not fair! I strongly disagree! ”

If Secondary 2 learns to listen to people, there will be no classic saying "It's not me who is wrong, it's the world".

"Okay."

After thinking about it, Rod felt that this didn't seem to be a big deal, and more importantly, the canary, who had been beside her, did not object——— which showed that she actually agreed with Little Bubblegum's opinion. Of course, in all fairness, there's nothing wrong with a little bubblegum. It's just that Rhodes proposed this out of the interest of insurance, anyway, it is not an easy thing to do, and as human beings, they are obviously not suitable for risk.

But now...............

"Well, what fair and equitable way are you going to use?"

"It's simple."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Little Bubblegum smiled smugly, and then she reached out and pulled out a toothpick.

"Draw lots!"

Then, the girl spoke confidently.

Since they were to be divided into three groups, they finally decided to divide into three groups, two of which went to explore the remaining two paths. And the last four people need to stay behind the palace because of the large number of people, so they are responsible for dealing with those who are likely to appear and cause them trouble. After all, since these guys have drilled through this road, then there is no reason not to use it. Once they go out and find the "big crowd" that Rhodes left outside, then the fun will be great. So they have to be responsible for cleaning up and preventing those people from discovering their presence, and of course, even if it takes a long time, the other party will also notice that something is wrong. But as long as they can, at least this time their mission is only to probe, not to go to war directly.

Of course, it depends.

But before we do that, let's take a look at the results of the draw.........

“…………… How do I think, this is a conspiracy? ”

Rod looked at the little bubblegum and canary holding a toothpick of the same color as himself. Then he looked at the trio of Maribel, Irene, and Lydia next to him. This was followed by the foursome led by Bubble Two and Canary Two, plus Greyhill and Madaras. It's just a ......... combination So much so that Rod didn't know what to say.

"Are you sure you're not doing anything in there?"

Rod looked at the group with a puzzled look, trying to discern something on the faces of Lydia and Irene with soft smiles. He can be sure that if there are any ghosts in this, then these two are definitely the first suspects, don't look at their quiet appearance, what kind of person Rod is inside! Originally, he summoned Greysil and Madaras because they were better at stealth and better able to play their role in this situation. But now.........

And to hear Rod's question. Little Bubblegum immediately stood up and said loudly.

"Give up, Captain, willing to gamble and lose, all this is the choice of the Gate of the Stone of Destiny, the will from the great universe! It's the melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi! ”

Faced with the little bubblegum talking proudly, Rod could only nod helplessly. What else can he say......... Anyway......... That's what it already is, isn't it? Luckily, they followed him, and Rhodes served as the summoning swordsman. Manpower has never been his problem. When you really can't do it, summon the card spirits to rush forward.

But then again, what does that have to do with that melancholy or something?

Rod. Canary and Little Bubblegum were tasked with scouting the road ahead, and although Rhodes was sure that it led to the Tower, it was better for him to be on the safe side.

This is not a problem for Rod, Canary, and Little Bubblegum, especially after having Canary——— whose specialization is fire and wind. As a top player, she has already obtained the "supreme authority" of these two elements at this moment, and she is not much different from the Elemental Lord itself in this regard.

Of course, the physical aspect of human beings is another matter.

"They've acted."

Because of the contract with Maribel, Rod can easily use telepathic communication to contact Maribel, and there is nothing to worry about for their group of Rodes. Even if the Demon Grand Duke came in person or the people of Chaos opened the way, it was unlikely to have any effect on them. The combined strength of these three has already surpassed the entire Dragon Soul Continent. So Rod quickly regained his heart and began the task on his side.

"We're going to pass through this side, three towers, remember to dodge those searchlights. And ..............."

Rod glanced at the heavily armed soldiers, and he instinctively sensed that something was not quite right with them, and they gave Rhodes a feeling similar to the corrupted people he had seen in Maribel's history, except that their aura was weaker. But what Rhodes is worried about is not this, these things can erode others, who knows if they will have a second erosion.

"Alright, Commander, what are we going to do?"

Before Rod could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a little bubblegum, and at this moment she was staring at the enemies in front of her with wide eyes.

"Is it Call of Duty or just open Warriors?"

"Neither, we're going to sneak in secretly this time."

"Cut ........."

Hearing Rod's answer, the spirit of the little bubblegum suddenly languished a lot.

"What's so fun about sneaking in secretly, I still think it's more interesting to open Wushuang, obviously the big sister is here, as long as you drive Wushuang over, it's fine.................."

"Alright, we're going to get to the action now."

Rod decisively ignored Little Bubblegum's complaints, as a commander, if he had to respond to his subordinates' complaints one by one before starting to brush the book, then they would not be able to start fighting the boss in another two hours. So Rod directly ignored the little bubble gum's unnutritious speech and went straight to the point.

"Remember, don't be discovered, follow me. I think you've seen it as well, they use a lot of things from Earth. But these things have clearly been modded, and we can't necessarily confirm that they will still work as well as on Earth, or be stronger than Earth. So we'd better stay away from them........." said Rod, turning his head to look at the canary.

"You know what we're going to do, right?"

"Of course, Rod."

Hear Rhodes. The canary smiled slightly, and then she stretched out her hand, and soon, with the canary's movements, the lava roaring not far from the three of them suddenly rose into the sky, like a fountain, and then it opened its mouth like this, swallowed the three of them like a snake, and then quickly retracted. When the guards looked strangely over this way. There is nothing left there.

"I hate this kind of travel so much."

Looking at the rolling face outside the transparent barrier, little bubblegum pursed her lips. If there was no hard enough barrier in front of them, then the three of them would probably not have been able to reach their destination intact. However, Rhodes didn't risk trying to cross the bridges made of black steel, and the Canary obviously knew his style very well——— although it was quite cheating, but this is not a game after all, and there is no mission that the player must fight all the way to the odd soldiers and enemies, and get experience points and loot before dealing with the final boss. So the three of them have a better choice, of course. Little Bubblegum clearly doesn't like it this way.

Unfortunately, her objection was ineffective.

With the help of canaries. The three of them quietly advanced in the lava, with a little bubblegum magic in it, and there was no need to worry that they would die from lack of oxygen and suffocation, although the temperature around them was a little higher, but under the precise control of the canary, the magma was still within her control. It was very smooth along the way. There were no obstacles or interruptions, and rightfully so. But just as the three of them were halfway through, the canary suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing the canary's abnormality, Rod raised his eyebrows and asked. And in the face of Rhodes's inquiry. The canary frowned, then quickly replied.

"I sense something underneath the lava ahead."

"Something?"

Hearing this, Rod and Little Bubblegum were stunned. The canary nodded, she had the supreme authority of the fire element, and the magma was almost an extension of her body, so the canary could quickly distinguish anything in the magma.

"I don't know what it is, I don't know if it's alive or dead, but it's not normal, I don't think it should have been there."

"What to do? Captain, should we go and see? ”

Hearing this, Little Bubble Gum's eyes suddenly lit up. Finding hidden items in the hidden areas of the dungeon map is basically a precursor to a good harvest!

“…………………”

However, Rod did not answer immediately, on the contrary, he frowned and thought for a moment, and then turned to the canary again and asked.

"Will our words in the past alarm it?"

"I don't know if it's a creature, I can only try to make it feel like we don't exist, and to be honest, I don't know if it's a living thing. But it's definitely not here, because I can feel the cold air through the lava..............." The canary bit the corner of his mouth as he said this. And hearing her answer, Rod and Little Bubblegum also quickly glanced at each other, it was obvious that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and it must be tricky to be able to exude cold and cold air in such a hot environment, no matter what it is.

"Let's go over first."

In the end, Rod still didn't take Little Bubblegum's suggestion, but this time Little Bubblegum surprisingly didn't object.

"Canary, let's stay away from it, preferably above the lava, as long as we don't leave the lava layer. Bubbles, release another shield of shelter, and remember, in the event of an attack, we will immediately rush forward and leave the lava to avoid accidents, understand? ”

"It's good."

Hearing Rod's order, both nodded. Soon, the canary floated the ball that protected the three to the edge of the lava layer, and then slowly followed the flow of lava. And the little bubblegum also held her hands vigilantly, and a rune formed between her hands, flickering with a faint aura. And at this time, the girl's complexion changed slightly.

"I see it."

Needless to say, little bubblegum didn't say much, Rhodes and the canary saw the weird thing. It was directly below the trio of men, a pitch-black shadow. I don't know if it's because of the flow of lava or whatever, but it looks like some kind of living being. The three of them stared at the shadow, allowing the canary to manipulate the lava to send them forward.

Until the trio passed through the huge shadow area, they were not attacked in any way. This made both the canary and the little bubblegum breathe a sigh of relief, but Rod still watched around vigilantly. Then he looked up and glanced out along the edge.

"We've arrived."

Then, Rod spoke. Hearing him, Canary and Little Bubblegum hurriedly raised their heads and looked in the direction of Rod's gaze, and then, their eyes widened in surprise. (To be continued......)
