"Are you the adventurers sent by Lord Isteva to explore the Lizard Swamp? I've just heard your conversation with the adults, and I thought you might need a little help. I've patrolled the Lizard Swamp and around that a few times before. I know it as well as I do in the palm of my hand. If you want a guide who is good at wielding swords, I can say that I am the one you want. ”

The armored female warrior greeted Dugufeng and the others very familiarly, and volunteered to introduce herself bravely, hoping to join this swamp expedition.

Dugu Feng, Lady Yinlong, and Veria Roland did not speak, and with their abilities, they could naturally easily see through the disguise of this uninvited female warrior.

On the surface, she's just a weathered, battle-hardened veteran fighter, but in reality, under this layer of disguise. Whether it is Dugu Feng's divine vision, or the true eye of Ms. Silver Dragon, or Ms. Veria Roland's special ability, it can be clearly seen that this female warrior is actually an evil ghost beast from hell.

Demonmons are a strange kind of demons whose flesh is contaminated by the souls of Purgatory, and they are bound to this world due to the nature of their existence. When they are killed, their souls are reincarnated somewhere in this world after suffering for days, months, or even years.

The reincarnated beast ghost will completely restore his health, memory, and abilities, and he will constantly seek out those who killed him in his previous life, which is an extremely vengeful and troublesome devil. Although not as powerful as the real demons in hell, their perseverance in pursuing their enemies is a headache.

Although the world is vast, and the lifespan of mortals is so short, most adventurers do not have to worry about being found by resurrected demon beasts. But there are always some people who are unlucky and are approached by the evil ghosts and beasts they have killed, which leads to all kinds of disasters.

The Demonmon is a humanoid creature with the head of a feline predator, usually a tiger, rich fur and claws, and a preference for fine clothing and expensive jewelry, similar to the vain aristocrats and wealthy of the human world.

The most difficult thing for the Demon Beasts to deal with is not his combat power, as a member of the Hell Devil, they have clearly inherited the insidiousness and cunning of the Hell Devil.

Despite their appearance as wild beasts, they are cunning, vicious, and sophisticated creatures. Beasts and Spirits prefer to fool possible enemies rather than fight, but if combat cannot be avoided, Beasts are fierce and ruthless opponents.

Evil beasts and ghosts that appear in front of people often use illusions to transform themselves into the most suitable appearance to hide their true identity. They would often impersonate nobles or wealthy merchants, using lies and deception to make other creatures work for them.

And now, what appeared in front of Dugu Feng and the others was such an evil ghost beast warlock disguised as a female warrior of Dagger Beach. Dugu Feng and the others had long noticed its existence, and when the red-robed wizard was executed at Dagger Beach, this evil ghost beast warlock had already stood there disguised as a peasant.

"A little demon beast sorcerer, about level 10, well, let's see what tricks she wants to play!"

With such thoughts, Dugu Feng, Lady Yinlong, and Vilia Roland did not speak with a tacit understanding, wanting to see what tricks this evil ghost beast warlock wanted to play.

Shi Ji looked at the female warrior she sent to the door, and then looked at the people who didn't speak, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart.

However, the young female warrior disguised as the demon beast seemed to be stimulated by the silence of the crowd, and said with some excitement: "Do you know how lucky you are? Lord Isteva is a legend, a hero among heroes, an example to all our civilian adventurers, his achievements are widely known, and his deeds are told by countless people. ”

"To get the attention he spends so much on you, some of us have even gone so far as to kill people. You have no idea how lucky you are to be chosen by Lord Isteva! You don't know how hard it is to walk in the swamp, without a qualified guide, I think it's a miracle that you can get out of the swamp safely after a week, let alone find the black dragon's lair......"

"Look, I'm a good guide, and there's no one in the whole castle who is more familiar with the lizard swamps than I am—you can ask anyone else for that...... Well, if you allow me to join, I'll help you get your gear and keep a vigil at night, if that's what is necessary for me to join you...... Also, do you want to hire a man to join your team? You see, we're all women, and it's also handy when we're out on adventures......"

The voice of the young female warrior disguised by the demon beast was high-pitched and slightly excited, as if she was really an ordinary female warrior who was infatuated with the Knight of Istva and was infected and attracted by his inspirational deeds.

"Sister, we ......"

Shi Ji seemed to be a little moved by the female warrior's words, and she couldn't detect the disguise of the evil ghost beast with low perception attributes, so it was normal to think of her as an ordinary female warrior, and said, "If we go to the Lizard Swamp, it seems that we really need a guide who can guide the way." ”

"You are now the leader of our adventure group, you can decide for yourself whether you need it or not."

Dugu Feng looked at Shi Ji and said lightly, as if he had promised before, he gave her all the right to choose in this adventure: "It's just that you have to remember that as a team leader or leader, all your decisions must be made carefully, and the consequences of the choices you make must be borne by yourself." ”

A small demon beast warlock can be destroyed in the palm of his hand for a team with three legendary powerhouses. Therefore, Dugufeng is not in a hurry to demolish her, and it is a good note to use her to exercise Shi Ji.

"Yes, I see!"

Shi Ji is only a sister, and now she wants to exercise her ability to be independent, so she nodded vigorously and agreed.

"We do need a guide!"

Shi Ji turned to face the female warrior disguised as an evil beast, tried her best to think of herself as the leader of an ordinary adventure team, and talked to the female warrior seriously: "However, we are not familiar with you, we need to learn about you from others before we can decide whether to let you be my guide." ”

"No problem!"

The female warrior disguised by the evil ghost beast also didn't see the abnormality of Dugu Feng and the others, and she was also accustomed to thinking that Dugu Feng and the others were young children sent by a big aristocratic family to train, and she was not surprised that Shi Ji, who was obviously the weakest, the most immature, and the most inexperienced, was in charge.

"Rest assured, no one here is more familiar with the Lizard Swamp than I am. I've been there many times before, and even one of my ears was lost in a conflict with the orcs. You can ask anyone in the castle for all the information I said, and they will vouch for me! ”

The female warrior in the disguise of the Demon Beast was visibly delighted, and she introduced herself to Shi Ji with great experience, and enthusiastically beckoned several soldiers who had come with them to reinforce Krom's Grip to testify for her.

"Yes, McQueensy is the most familiar with the Lizard Swamp, in fact, she herself was born in Westport on the other side of the swamp, which is another important town in the Lizard Swamp besides Krom's Grip Fortress." One soldier said.

"That's right, McQueens is as familiar with the Lizard Swamp as she is with her home, haha, it's not a metaphor, because her home is indeed in the Lizard Swamp......" one soldier laughed and joked.

"If you're going to choose a guide, McQueensy is the right person to be, she's familiar with every detail of the Weeping Willow Trail (an important path through the Lizard Swamp), and she'll lead you to a place to fight or hide when you're being chased by the frogmen and lizardmen in the swamp!" The other, slightly older soldier said solemnly.

In this way, after finding several soldiers in succession, Shi Ji received unanimous reassurance from them, which convinced Shi Ji of the identity of the female warrior and decided to ask her to be the guide of the team.

"You'll find that you've made a wise decision!"

Seeing Shi Ji agree, the female warrior disguised by the evil ghost beast couldn't help but show a smug expression. The Demonmon's mind-reading ability allowed her to not notice any "abnormalities", and a group of adventurers with decent skills actually handed over the decision to a fledgling chick, which was really easy to deal with.

……

"Did you find anything?"

After dispatching the evil ghost beast disguised as a female warrior, Dugu Feng and the others returned to their room and put an end to the information they had obtained like an ordinary adventure team.

"The altar that was taken away by the black dragon is not the altar of the goddess of the sea, Amberly!" Lady Silver Dragon said, "I asked for some information through some spells. That altar, as well as the altar lost by the Florian Lord of Dagger Beach, was actually a seal, a tool used to seal the elemental key. ”

As a spellcaster of a legendary class, Lady Silver Dragon has so many ways to know what she wants to know, whether it's asking the dead, talking to the spirits of the land, or simply using prophecy, she can get the information she wants to know.

The mission wasn't complicated, and there were no powerful people or items to obscure the prophecy, so she quickly figured everything out.

"It's not as complicated as we imagined, the elemental keys sealed in those altars are the work of the elves of the Ilfarang Empire in this region in the past, and there are a total of four elemental keys, corresponding to the four evil elemental lords of the four elemental planes of earth, water, fire, and wind!"

Lady Silver Dragon explained what she had discovered: "These four elemental keys are relics of the Elven Empire of Ilfaran, and they were hidden in the ruins of the Ilfarang Empire for a long time, until several adventurers discovered it hundreds of years ago - the discoverers were the ancestors of Baroness Winnie and Lord Flosian, among others. These elemental keys are linked to the evil elemental prince of the elemental plane, so the adventurers sealed it. ”

"However, some red-robed mages have recently come from Cell, and they don't know where they learned about these four elemental keys. They seem to want to build a secret base in the Baldur's Gate area, and if they get the elemental key, they can build it on top of several magical entrances, with four elemental nodes linked to it, so that they can get a supply of endless elemental energy! ”
