Although it was already night, the lame Richard still did not sleep, but sat outside his tent, staring anxiously at the darkness of the night in the distance, as if trying to see through the obstacles of the night and find his goal.

Reynoldson and East's team, which was supposed to arrive shortly after noon, had not yet arrived by this time, which made the lame Richard's heart a little uneasy. Especially at lunchtime, the little creature that Esther often brought with him and appeared from time to time, came to him with a note with scribbled handwriting.

The message on the note made him stunned. Reynoldsen and Easter actually planned to raid the team of the Akalin family.

After calculating the strength of his side, Cripple Richard felt that this raid had a good chance of winning. For this reason, he specially ordered his mercenaries to make some arrangements in the camp, and then patiently waited for the arrival of East and others.

But in the afternoon, Richard the Cripple heard a terrifying roar in the distance from the deep valley of ashes. After hearing this roar, all the mercenaries under his command were frightened and panicked, and they ran around like headless flies one by one, until half an hour later, because they were tired and could no longer run, and they were honest one by one.

Not only them, but even Richard himself felt a thrill when he heard this roar, and the strong breeding armor on his body instantly expanded to the maximum, enveloping his whole body.

Richard didn't know what kind of creature roared it was, but it was so powerful that it was definitely a powerful creature at the top of the food chain, a ferocious legendary creature.

The appearance of this unknown legendary creature made the lame richard beat a drum in his heart, and he was worried that Esther and his party would encounter this fierce beast on the road, so they delayed their trip.

Richard the Cripple sat on a stake by the fire outside the tent, holding a spoon in his hand, scooping a spoonful of soup from a cauldron on the fire. The delicious soup tasted but tasted in the mouth of the lame Richard at this moment.

If Easter and his party have an accident and can't come to meet him, then the so-called revenge on the Pervas family is a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror.

Less than five hundred meters from the camp was the Eye of Ash portal that glowed brilliantly. In contrast to the circular luminous body with a diameter of more than a hundred meters and the bright bands of light it emitted, the firelight of Richard the Crippled was like a firefly in the moonlight, inconspicuous.

After drinking a mouthful of thick soup, the lame Richard suddenly coughed violently, his face was red, and his whole body was bent like a prawn.

The lame Richard, who was almost choked to death by the thick soup he had made, finally calmed down his breath and looked up into the distance, and suddenly found several small dots moving at high speed approaching the direction of the Eye of Ashes portal.

Cripple Richard immediately stood up alertly. Ever since implanting the Zerg Technique's Breeding Armor, he was surprised to find that he had all the other ways to see the world except for visible light.

This not only has the common infrared vision, but also has vibration sensing and sound source localization.

Now in the few small dots approaching at high speed, neither visible light, infrared light, nor sound source localization have found them, and the lame Richard has completely relied on vibration sensing to find the target.

"Stealth, silent enchantment, anti-infrared shield. The lame Richard's face sank, and he was about to open his mouth to call his mercenaries to be vigilant, when he suddenly heard someone shouting his name.

"Richard, we're here!"

"It's Reynoldsam's voice!"

Richard suddenly looked happy and stood up.

"Over here!" Richard pulled out a staff and shot a series of shining balls of light at the sky.

"That's Richard's camp over there. "East and Sonia are tied for the first place. He first heard the cripple Richard's shout, and then saw a series of shining balls of light, and immediately determined the cripple Richard's position, adjusted his direction slightly, and ran towards Richard's position.

Dulles is the deputy head of the Mercenary Group of Dragons and Beauty. Although the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group is a budding mercenary group with only a dozen members and has only been established for less than half a year, in the records of the Warrior Association, there are only three records of completing the lowest beast hunting mission. But that doesn't stop Dulles from having big ambitions in his heart. He aspires to become a legendary powerhouse, and even more yearns to split the ground and become the founder of a legendary family that can be passed down from generation to generation.

But all of this still has to start from the basics bit by bit.

In Dulles's view, the Warrior Guild's clear price, and the virtual reality system, which requires 100,000 tokens for each use, is the most powerful thing he can get his hands on.

This time, the entire dragon and beauty mercenary group, under the introduction of an intermediary, signed a contract with a generous employer to protect the employer to participate in the White Tower Competition.

The employer was unusually generous, first paying a commission of 150,000 tokens, and promised to pay another 450,000 tokens after the end of the competition. And all the loot obtained during the tournament belongs to the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group.

Although the leader of the mercenary group, Rogge, was skeptical about why the other party would hire his little-known team at such a generous price, but he couldn't withstand the encouragement of the team members, and was shocked by the employer's boldness, so he still accepted the offer.

Early this morning, after entering the White Pagoda, Rogge noticed that his employer was not at all as curious about the four-season half-plane full of strange natural landscapes as the rest of the tourists who entered the White Tower for the first time, and wandered around the periphery, but without saying a word, he led the team straight to the depths of the half-plane, until he came to the famous Eye of Ashes portal, and was almost the first to camp on the edge of the portal, posing as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

This made Rogge feel quite bad. He always felt that he might have been fooled and put the entire mercenary group in danger. Especially when he realized that his employer was always very attentively watching every team approaching the Eye of Ashes portal, as if they were looking for someone, he immediately realized that his employer was likely to do something in the famous outlaw place of the White Tower. And their own team is very likely to become a victim of it. Whenever he thought of this, Rogge couldn't help frowning, and a sad look appeared on his fat face.

He told his good brother Dulles about his concerns, and the latter volunteered to keep an eye on his employer in case he unwittingly fell into a desperate situation.

Through a period of observation. Dulles realized that his employer should have found the person he was looking for, because he found that his employer had stopped focusing on the direction of the portal, but had begun to look into the distance, obviously searching for something.

Dulles's observation was interrupted by a terrifying roar in the afternoon. By the time he regained consciousness, he found that the camp was in shambles. The members of their own team were exhausted and embarrassed, and the expression of the employer, who had always seemed extremely composed, also appeared to be unexpectedly anxious.

Privately, Dulles and Rogge discussed what the roar was coming from. It's a pity that in the end, I only came to one conclusion, that is, no matter what it is, it is better not to encounter it yourself.

In the evening, the employer finally revealed his ultimate purpose for camping here. When arranging for the members of the mercenary group to prepare dinner, the employer asked them to prepare food and water for an extra eight people, and prepared a large amount of food himself.

This makes all the members of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Regiment understand that their employer is here to wait for another team to come and make peace.

However, until the sun disappeared into the sky, the wind of negative energy swept in, and the waiting line of employers still did not arrive. The members of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group entered the camp tent with a magical layer of protection to avoid the erosion of negative energy on their bodies, leaving only one person outside, taking turns to monitor the situation near the camp.

It was Dulles' turn to be on duty. He stood inconspicuously on the outskirts of the camp, alerting himself to the anomalies around him, while distracting himself from his employer's every move. Their employers, since the sun went down, had been sitting by the fire for hours, except for the occasional small movement, as if they had taken root there.

There was calm around the camp. After nightfall, a large number of the party had passed through the Eye of Ashes portal and entered the deeper areas of the White Tower. The few teams that are left behind will basically not act against the negative energy wind at night. Dulles gripped the defensive negative energy talisman around his neck, calculating how much time he had left in his post, feeling that time was passing slowly.

Suddenly, Dulles heard his employer cough violently. He secretly slandered himself in his heart, hoping that the lame Richard would not get seriously ill. Because the lame Richard has been exposed to negative energy since it got dark without any protection, normal people will definitely get seriously ill if they are eroded by such a long period of high concentration of negative energy.

But immediately, Dulles saw the lame Richard stand up, frowning and staring into the distance, as if he had noticed something amiss. He looked in the direction his employer was looking, but found nothing. Just when he wondered if his employer was hallucinating due to the erosion of negative energy, a loud shout came from afar.

"Richard, we're here!"

"He actually saw something!" Dulles said in surprise. Because even when he opened his eyes until they were sore, he didn't see anything.

He watched in amazement as his employer pulled out a staff and fired a shining ball of light into the sky.

He knew it was the specific location of the camp that the employer was informing him of. But where are the people? Is it true that the employer is waiting for a shadowless ghost?

Dulles shivered, beads of sweat on his head even under the cold negative energy wind. He hurriedly used the sound talisman inside the mercenary group to warn Rog who was hiding in the tent. The person who is waiting for their own employer is coming, brothers and sisters of the mercenary group, be prepared, just in case.
