It stands to reason that a small-scale encirclement and suppression of defector elves does not require a war class like the Crypt Scorpion, so why would Kirkna bring it out?

It all started with Kirkna's position in the family, the young and beautiful Drow priest who was the heir to the Fifth Family of Obaran City. However, because she is still relatively young, she has not received the attention of the Spider God Queen. Without the Queen's providence, there would be no arachnoid elves to help.

Of course, the Fifth Family itself has raised a lot of private soldiers, but these private soldiers can't give Kirkena any help in this encirclement, and she can only rely on her lizardmen followers.

The reason is simple, the spider god issued an oracle to use this pursuit of the defected elves as a test for his priests. Each Drow priest involved can only rely on their own strength, and can have followers, but not the help of family soldiers and city guards.

Families at the bottom of the hierarchy often send a high-ranking priest of the family, or even a housewife. The family at the top of the ranking handed over the task to the next generation of heirs. High priests tend to have more followers and are able to summon more arachnids, while younger priests are weaker.

However, the Drow Elves are insidious and cunning, and they will have all kinds of ways to circumvent the rules. This crypt scorpion was a cheating trick by Kirkna and the Fifth Family, who gave her a gift of adulthood before she set off, which can be described as a large investment cost.

If Kirkna fails the trial and doesn't catch any of the defected elves, she will undoubtedly be doomed. The world of drow elves~, there is no second chance. This is the main reason why Kirkna and Wendini still choose to take the risk, knowing that they are only half a day's away from the dwarven surface camp.

As soon as the scorpion came up from the ground, it immediately launched an attack on the three apostles. The two large pincers on the front of its body have a large attack surface, and although the steering is not fast enough, the slender and flexible tail completely makes up for this weakness.

All of a sudden, Weiss and the three of them were in a hurry, dodging the attack of the demon scorpion.

"This can't be done, I feel that there are two strong fluctuating auras in the mushroom forest behind me that are rapidly approaching, they should be the priests of this group of drow elves!" Romon floated in mid-air, suddenly looking warily behind him.

"Are you going to be wiped out?" Weiss bit his lip tightly, his face a little ashen. He hadn't felt so powerless since he had advanced to the high rank, which reminded him of some unbearable memories that he was extremely reluctant to look back on.

"You two go, I'll stay and hold them off!"

However, as a mature apostle who had experienced life and death, these negative feelings only lasted for a moment, and Weiss was left behind, and a trace of fortitude appeared on his face.

"No, Commander, if you want to stay, stay together, we have already spent so many mission worlds together, and we have already lived enough." Romon shook his head resolutely, "I don't want to change teams in the future, what's the point of living like that?" ”

"There is no point in sending them to death! After I stay, there is still a glimmer of possibility of escape, and if you also stay, it will only be a burden! Weiss shouted, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes. In any case, it is already content to have such a group of companions to accompany you to the end.

"Whew~~" Just as Weiss and Romon were arguing, the shield guard on the other side let out a low roar of pain.

His body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and almost instantly became a giant over sixteen feet tall.

The giant's skin was bronze and muscular, and despite reaching nearly five meters tall, his body was four feet thick, making him a little short and stocky. The deltoid muscles on both sides of the neck bulge high above the shoulders like bronze shoulder armor.

Because the Apostle equipment is made up of laws, the change in the size of the shield guard does not affect the equipment wearing. Only the size of the tower shield has not changed, and the tower shield that could have covered the whole body is now like an arm armor on the giant's right forearm.

"Ah~" After turning into a giant, the shield guard raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, lowered his head and slammed into the crypt demon scorpion in front of him.

"Bang!" In the loud crash, it was just a low-level savage collision that made the demon scorpion hiss and retreat again and again. The scorpion's tail hook flashed in the air with jet-black afterimages, and then its poisonous tail needle could only leave white marks on the surface of the giant's body, and it failed to break through the giant's defenses.

Seeing this, the giant did not hesitate any longer, and grabbed the large pincers of a demon scorpion with both hands, and the two monsters wrestled with each other like gladiators. However, the giant soon tossed the Crypt Scorpion to the ground, riding on its belly and beating it with his fists.

The Crypt Scorpion struggled in exasperation, and despite its size, it was not a pure strength creature. And the sharp chelicera and tail hook on his side couldn't do anything with the giant, and he was beaten and screamed again and again.

It's just that Newton, the shield guard, did not make Weiss and Romon happy, but their faces showed a trace of pathos and pain.

No matter in any other world, the apostle's skills must follow one of the most basic laws of the world, which is the law of conservation of energy. Newton used his second-order strength to use this high-level skill that could compete with the arms of war, and the price he paid was unimaginable.

One of the most obvious sequelae is that the giantization can only last less than half a minute. After the duration of the skill expires, Newton will immediately fall into a state of weakness with all his stats halved and his energy value completely empty, which means that he will not be able to leave this place again.

The shield guard was a man of few words, and when Weiss and Romon argued over who should stay behind the broken queen, he immediately made a decision and told his two companions, "I will leave the broken queen, and you will go".

"Let's go!" Weiss uttered the word almost in a hoarse roar, and the pale bone-clad figure flashed past the two behemoths like lightning.

However, Weiss immediately slowed down, and when he noticed that his other companion, Romon had not followed, his face changed and he looked behind him.

I saw that behind the two tumbling and entangled monsters, Romon was still floating in the air, smiling and waving at him. At the same time, the calm voice of the black-robed mage also came from the team channel.

"Someone needs to stop those two Drow priests, Captain, remember to help us get revenge!"

"Romon!" Weiss's eyes blurred instantly, and the white bone armor in his palm was pinched and shattered. He flew at a faster speed, and he didn't look back at the battlefield again.

"Hahaha, it's wonderful, no wonder they are so nostalgic for these worlds!" The silver-haired elf lowered the World Tree longbow, stuck one hand into his bangs to cover his face, and threw his head back and laughed wildly.

"Still escaped one!" He muttered to himself, a pair of cold eyes showing between his fingers, "Without the outbreak of that high-level apostle, the loss of the drow elves has not yet broken the bottom limit, and it seems that there is no way to achieve the goal perfectly." ”

"Forget it, there will be a chance to meet in the future!"

He lowered his hand, bent down in frustration, hung his hands in front of him, shook his head in a vent, and then jumped off the giant mushroom and disappeared into the darkness. He no longer waits for the deaths of Romon and Newton, and he doesn't even want a bloody Rubik's Cube that may exist.

……

As time passed, the noise of the mushroom woodland slowly calmed down. Romon and Newton died of exhaustion, their bodies devoured by the mortally wounded scorpions.

"What, that surface elf is gone?" A drow warrior's report startles Wendini and Kirkna.

They had always thought that the silver-haired elves were coveting something from these human mercenaries, so they would cooperate with the drow elves. Although they had secretly ordered a few Drow warriors to keep an eye on him, there was really no one to monitor the battle just now, and they didn't expect the surface elves to take advantage of such a small gap to run away.

"Mistress Wentiny, what do you think we're going to do next?" Kirkna hesitated, but asked the old priest about it.

The fierceness of this battle made her a lot more cautious. The cunning and insidiousness of the surface elf also made her feel a little jealous in her heart. Now that the number of lizardman cavalry has shrunk by more than half, and the crypt scorpion has been seriously injured again, she is no longer as confident as before.

Each of the drow elves is very cunning and has their own safety at stake, and Kirkna doesn't mind listening to Wentiny's advice at all.

"I think we can go back to O'Baran, the two traitors have been ambushed, and the dwarves and human mercenaries who interfered with the trial have been eliminated. It's a small shame that I didn't be able to sacrifice that fallen demon hunter, but there's no need to delay it any longer. Wendini sighed and said a little unwillingly.

Because of her previous promises, the credit for the last few battles goes to Kirkna. Her original idea of pleasing the Spider God by sacrificing Qin Lun was also shattered. The only gain is that she has made up for her mistakes and wiped out most of the dwarven exploration team that killed a large number of spider elves, which should be able to calm the wrath of the goddess.

"I agree!" Kirkna breathed a sigh of relief, it was the safest way to go.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~" Just as the two Drow priests integrated their teams and commanded the remaining lizardman cavalry to withdraw from the mushroom woodland, a mountain-shaking explosion shook everyone to the ground.

"Hiss~" The seriously injured demon scorpion let out an uneasy hiss, trampled on the two monitor lizards next to it, and spun around in place irritably.

"Firelight!" With the area where the Drow elves are located at its core, the mushroom glades are filled with intense flames and poisonous smoke rising from all sides.

"Huh~" The angry roar of the mushroom people came from the firelight, and the giant mushrooms twitched and contracted strongly, and a cloud of pink mist with a sweet and greasy smell quickly spread in the mushroom forest.

"Hallucinogenic spore clouds!" Wendini and Kirkna's faces changed drastically, and they each raised their hands and put a magic shield around them. Hallucinogenic spores in the mushroom woodlands are difficult to exempt, and this is the ability of the mushroom people to survive.

"It's ~who~" There was an angry roar of urns in the distance from the depths of the mushroom forest, and then a heavy footsteps of "dong dong dong" sounded from all directions.

"Giant mushroom man!" Wentini and Kirkna's faces changed drastically, and they glanced at each other, and immediately commanded the lizardman cavalry to break through to the rear. I1292
