At night, the valley of Ikot is shrouded in darkness, and the illusion of peace and calm during the day is gradually replaced by the cruelty of the night.

If you are a regular passerby, you will definitely not choose to enter this valley at night. However, at the moment, this new group of "guests" is not an ordinary passerby.

"If the information is correct, this should be it. ”

The group was fully equipped and guarded, walking through the forest at the entrance to the valley, wearing a badge on their chests indicating that this was a typical group of adventurers.

"Hehe, as long as we get Count William's relics, we can go without taking on missions for a year! At least for the time being, we don't need to see these disgusting things!"

A muscular tower-like man slashed a wheel-sized battle axe and spat at the vine monster he had just chopped down.

"I don't know what that relic is, it's worth so much money. A female mage beside the strong man frowned, adding a lighting spell to her staff, "Although I hate acting at night, it seems that we are the first to come, but we have to seize the opportunity and not be preempted by others." ”

Finally, the captain spoke: "Quiet!"

Both the strong man and the mage stopped talking, and it was clear that the captain of this team had absolute majesty.

This is a middle-aged man who exudes a strong sense of power on his body, and carries a giant sword with a cold light on his back, and at first glance he is a rather powerful and experienced fighter.

"According to the information, the Count's relics are in the dungeon of his abandoned castle. There should only be some low-level magical beasts guarding the castle, but the traps in the castle are very deadly, so don't be careless. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed another middle-aged man in light clothes, "Lin Ke, please." ”

"Understood!"

Silently, in full view of everyone, the middle-aged man disappeared directly, almost blending in with the surrounding environment, this is a martial art exclusive to thieves, obviously this middle-aged man is also not a novice.

And the powerful thieves are even more powerful, they can even achieve complete stealth and escape into another dimension.

Therefore, thieves are the best candidates to act as scouts and spy on intelligence, and on the two continents of the east and west, every country, army, family and other major forces have scout armies composed of thieves.

Similarly, thieves are an almost indispensable class for adventurer teams.

For example, this five-person adventurer team, although small in size, is fully equipped, with one thief, one warrior, one archer, and one talented magic apprentice and a captain who is a berserker.

All five wore the squad badge issued by the Adventurers' Guild, which was made of steel and depicted with the head of a roaring wolf.

The Wolf Warrior Squad, which is a small and prestigious team in the Duchy of Stassy, although its combat effectiveness is not outstanding, its style is very stable, and it rarely suffers damage when performing tasks.

Under the thieves' exploration, several people cautiously walked forward, but they did not notice that under the lush leaves of a towering ancient tree, a seemingly inconspicuous mound of earth moved slightly.

This is one of the earth elementals that Iroh has sent out to patrol.

Although this lowest-level earth elemental lacks mobility and lethality, their camouflage in this environment is a must-have - the forest is originally a special field for earth elements, and the other party's thieves and mages are not masters, so it is normal for earth elements to detect adventurer squads first.

As soon as the target was discovered, the earth elemental concealed itself according to the instructions given by Iroh in advance, and at the same time, with the help of the spiritual connection of the summon, he informed the news to Iroh in the castle.

At this time, Iroh was busy dealing with a little "small dispute" within the Tokamak faction.

"Dear Hillcutt, I think now you owe me a debt. ”

Vis swallowed a mouthful of saliva, knowing that it wasn't he who was in trouble right now, but after witnessing what had just happened, his heart beat hard when he heard Elo's calm voice with an imperceptible hint of malice again.

And really speaking...... I'm afraid I can't get rid of this matter.

"Ah, and Ves, I think you should know about this, right?"

Iroh looked at the little black dragon who was trampled under his feet and was still struggling unwillingly, and then glanced at the latter's brother, who was clearly flinching, and his lips were pursed—it was a rather disdainful expression, which is usually shown by dragons to the weak or the loser.

These two guys who don't change their lives...... I really don't know if it's arrogance or confidence, I dare to sneak in while I left the castle and instilled ideas in those goblins, intending to steal my treasure.

In the end, his treasure is only a small amount of gold coins found in the castle, but it is the treasure of the dragon after all!

The most odious thing is that when he was discovered by himself, Hillcat even tried to sneak up on himself. This is nothing short of blatant robbery – in other words, a challenge to one's own prestige!

The next thing is very simple, since the little black dragon who was carried away by the blood chose to fight, he will fight him.

Obviously, Hirkat and Iroh are not opponents at all, even if the red dragon blood in Hirkat is stimulated to the limit by treasure and anger, it is not an enemy of Iroh...... To put it mildly, Iroh even had to be careful not to actually kill Hillcutt.

In any case, as a young dragon of the evil camp, Iroh needs to cooperate, even if he doesn't need it at the moment, and when the Vis brothers enter their youth in the future, they must be very good helpers.

And whether it is Weiss or Hirkat, they are quite good hybrid dragons, and Iroh has already planned to establish a force with the Tokamak faction as the core in the future, without the help of these two black dragons, it will be a lot more difficult.

So......

"Next time, I'll have to consider changing the dinner menu. ”

This is really not just to scare the little black dragons, Iroh will not back down indefinitely, if the performance of the two black dragons does not meet his expectations for a long time, he does not mind trying dragon meat pie at all.

Iroh moved his feet, and Hilcart immediately got up and ran ten meters away, glaring at him viciously, as if trying to say something, but in the end wisely decided to shut up.

Seeing that the awe in his eyes became more and more obvious, Vis dragged out his younger brother who was covered in bruises and dislocated his left forearm, and then Airo put his spirit on the call of the earth elemental just now.

It's a bit interesting, have you finally met an adventurer?

There was a playful smile in Eloh's eyes, and since he had fled after the last encounter with the adventurers, he knew that sooner or later, he would meet them again.

"Adventurer......

In this vast world, there is such a category of people:

They are not afraid of hardships and dangers, exploring the secrets of the eight directions and four poles, and can find their footprints from the dangerous peaks of the world to the dark abyss.

They are keen to explore and are able to form the most powerful intelligence network in the world. Sometimes they are wealthy and can drink to their heart's content in taverns or even spend a lot of money, but more often than not, they are forced to eat and sleep in the open for their own sake.

They have never had a fixed place to live, and wherever there is money to be made, they are there, sweating blood and sweat for gold, and fighting all day long for wealth and glory.

They are small, but at the same time great, sometimes they will die in the siege of a group of low-level demonic beasts, but there is always their heroic episode in the lyrics of that poem, and there is always their magnificent figure behind the legendary story.

They may have a name for themselves and enviable wealth in front of them, but most of them have fallen forever in frozen mountains, scorching lava, sour swamps, and are more likely to be wiped out by the magic of dragons or evil mages.

They could come from any part of the world, Terran, dwarves, elves, or even orcs. They may be wandering swordsmen, lost rangers, practicing monks, traveling magicians, down-and-out knights, preaching priests, or more likely officers on secret missions, nobles keen to explore, or young people pursuing their dreams!

They have a common name, and that is adventurers!

Elo doesn't care so much, for him, not exposing himself too soon is the most important thing.

That's right, as mentioned before, as a young dragon of the evil camp, coupled with that kind of extremely weird ability, once the most difficult guy like the adventurer finds the trace, then the rest of the life will not be easy......

The last time I was able to get rid of the pursuit of the adventurers, luck actually accounted for a large proportion, and in addition, it was also because the adventurers paid too much attention to Iro's special abilities, so that after he used the restraint device to hide his ability, the adventurers were directly caught off guard.

"There are only ten earth elementals, and the speed is not enough, rashly facing this team of adventurers who are obviously not novices, even if they can win, I am afraid that they will lose a lot...... Goblins are to be used to produce faith points, and they must not be lost. ”

Iroh thought quickly and made a quick decision, "Now that I've run out of faith points, the goblins still have very few faith points, so I can't lose the earth element. Well, I'll take it upon myself to make sure I kill them all......"

With a thought in his mind, he ordered the earth elemental to continue to hide, and then Iroh directly locked the location of the adventurer's team in the spirit world, spread his wings, and after a few quick steps, he jumped up.

It didn't take long for the team of adventurers who came to a clearing in the forest to meet the resistance of the owner of the land.

"Captain, there's something coming!"

"Be careful!"

"All on alert!"

With the captain's shouting, everyone put on a posture of facing the battle - the next moment, in the darker and thicker night, a figure deeper than the night swooped down from the sky!

The invisible coercion that descended with the darkness, as well as the strange eyes with gold in the darkness, all confirmed the strength of the comer.

And Iroh also felt it very clearly, the five people below ...... If you join forces, you can threaten your own life!

The first battle of Iroh in the true sense of the word has arrived.
