251. Reconnaissance

The ice dragon Aganis walked behind William Hasier with a full of resentment. The gray hair on his head even froze together in the 35 degrees Celsius heat for reasons of chagrin, turning into messy icicles.

As a member of the proud Void Dragons (dragons can physically travel through the Void, hence the Void Dragons), Aganis himself looks down on any humans and humanoid intelligent beings. But unfortunately, thirty years ago, his plane was invaded by the Commercial Alliance, and he was also defeated by the legendary commandos of the Commercial Alliance in his lair. Although he was able to escape, he did not have time to clean up the mountains of gold and silver treasures in his lair. In order to reduce the damage, Aganis had to sign a contract with the Business Alliance, promising to provide a paid service to the Business Alliance.

For the next thirty years, Aganis slept in the lair, and the Business Alliance apparently had no intention of wasting the precious dragon contract for the slightest trouble. But just when Aganis thought he could continue to dream on the pile of gold coins, an emissary from the Business Alliance approached him and demanded that he fulfill his contract and join an expedition or the like to scout and search for a distant plane.

As a sign of respect for the great Void Dragons, the Business Alliance paid one million gold coins and three thousand various gems for it. This also made Aganeis, who had been disturbed by his good dreams, a little relieved, and only froze the messenger of the Business Alliance into an ice sculpture (he couldn't die, he would be fine after the emergency thaw), instead of directly biting him to pieces.

It's just that everything is developing too fast, which makes the dragons who are used to sleeping for dozens or even hundreds of years feel a little overwhelmed. Aganis had to board a wrecked ship not much bigger than himself with some of the bugs for a boring trip (Aganis had been sleeping all the time), and then he was beaten by a huge hostile warship, forcing the bugs to flee with them. This was a great test of Aganis' self-esteem. If it weren't for the idea of fooling around, Aganis would have taken on the enemy ship and let the enemy know that any man-made thing in the Void was no match for the great Void Dragons (the Dragons are indeed adapted to Void combat). However, there are also contradictions between different dragon clans, and the distribution is too scattered, so you can still have an advantage in the face of individual battleships one-on-one, and once you face the battleship formation, you will be beaten violently).

What made Aganis have to complain continues to happen. The plane they entered was barren, not at all the legendary Coronia, which was full of gems, but a green desert. What's even more maddening is that this is still a labyrinth full of magic illusions without exits (the White Tower is not opened, and the Labyrinth Proving Ground certainly has no exit). At first, Aganis watched the humans jump up and down, looking for a way out of the plane. But after witnessing their failures again and again, they simply continued their sleep business. Anyway, for the Void Dragon Clan, the more they sleep, the faster their own strength increases. (It's so perverted, humans and Void Dragons are really scum)

Just a few days ago, though, Aganis felt the concussions of space and realized that a path out of this plane had emerged. As long as you can pass through the labyrinth, you can leave this plane.

In fact, by this time, everyone except the barbarian Napa had already guessed that they should have accidentally entered a strange half-plane. This concussion is very likely to be the master of the half-plane.

Sure enough, just a day later, they were attacked and snooped on by hostile legendary powerhouses. Although he relied on the wonderful props in Latiz's hand to find and severely damage his opponent, he still let him slip away under the response of another legendary powerhouse, and slipped into a hidden space.

This is a great danger for the reconnaissance team that has penetrated deep into the Enemy Territory Business Alliance.

If they can't eliminate the hidden danger first, then next, they are likely to face thousands of regular troops, with the encirclement and suppression launched by dozens of legendary powerhouses.

Thankfully, there seems to be something strange about this half-plane, which has a natural barrier effect on the transmission of information. It also gives the Business Alliance's Legendary Squad an excellent opportunity to not only eliminate the hidden dangers, but also capture the Guide and leave this nasty place.

But what does that have to do with me!, Aganis grumbled again. As a Void Dragon, from the moment the plane passage was opened (the White Tower was opened), he had the freedom to come and go at will, and he was no longer subject to any constraints. It's just that dragons are naturally lazy, and Aganis of the Ice Dragons is the laziest of the dragons (it's cold, and he doesn't want to get up), so don't expect him to be proactive in doing things if he doesn't have enough rest.

But to his annoyance, Schlieffen Douglas used the Golden Badge, a mandatory condition of the Merchant Alliance's contract, to demand his services. The content of the service is to join the attack on the secret shelter as a combatant. Before that, he had to patrol with William Hasir, the little worm who didn't know the height of the sky, in case the turtles in the urn escaped.

This is truly an insult to the great Void Dragons. How could the great Void Dragons be used as a patrol! Knowing that many of Aganis's powerful kind, in their plane, were even worshipped as gods by the indigenous people, lying on a mountain of gold coins to receive offerings, it was the only thing they had to do every day.

"Damn, why would my plane attract such a nasty guy as the Business Alliance, so that I can't sleep comfortably at home, and I have to run to such a hellish place!"

For Aganenias, the Labyrinth Proving Ground is truly a haunted place, and the hot and humid climate is nothing short of torturous for the cold, dry Ice Dragons. Aganis believed that if he had regained his dragon form at this moment, the scales on his body must have been covered with mold.

But the patrol will soon be over. Once again, Aganis could smell the smell of green peppers that had come from intensive cultivation. This means that the cultivators are all ripe and ready to break out of the ground. In addition, there were bursts of familiar aromas that entered his nasal cavity with the majesty, making him inhale a few times, move his throat, and swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"It smells so good!" Esther grunted in his throat and swallowed a large gulp of saliva. Turning into a chameleon, he lurked in the forest, approached the position of the business alliance team, and smelled the long-lost aroma of roast mutton.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles. In order to obtain detailed information about the Business Alliance team, Esther left the shelter single-handedly and launched an investigation operation, despite the dissuasion of others.

From the discovery of Reynoldson, East guessed that there must be a powerful reconnaissance prop in the Business Alliance team, which could monitor the situation in his vicinity in real time. And Reynoldsen's exposure shows that this prop is very sensitive to the breath of the legendary powerhouse, Reynoldson was unstable for a second or two at most, leaked his breath, was locked in position, and then was besieged.

In order to avoid repeating Reynoldsson's mistakes, Esther deliberately chose to turn into a harmless critter. That way, it would be impossible to get the attention of the surveillance prop in any way. In addition, Esther chose to become a chameleon. This critter is slow, but it is able to completely blend into the background of the forest, avoiding the gaze of enemies. Moreover, because chameleons are ectothermic animals, they can maintain their body temperature at the same level as their surroundings, and they can avoid the search of infrared vision.

This, coupled with Easter's far beyond ordinary perception, allows him to observe the Business Alliance squad from a relatively safe distance.

At this moment, East was quietly lying on a forty-meter-high branch above the head of the business alliance team, using the function of the chameleon's eyes to rotate to take in the scene under the tree without dead ends.

There were four people under the tree.

A bald man was roasting a fat sheep by a fire, and the fat from the sheep and the beads of sweat on the strong man's head were shining.

The treetops where Esther was lying on his stomach, directly above the fire, were treated with smoke as such. He could tell from his sense of smell that the fuel used by these business alliance teams was not the dead branches and leaves that could be found everywhere on the ground, but a fire elemental crystal, which was usually used as an additive to alchemy bombs.

The bald man was huge, and Easter estimated from his proportions to the rest of the three that he might be more than three meters tall.

On the other hand, there was also a small man who stood up only to the waist of the big man.

But in East's opinion, the little man was ten times more dangerous than the big man.

Because since Esther began to observe the team, the little man had looked around at least three times with a vigilant expression, and took out a strange device, opened a blue light curtain, and searched it carefully twice.

This means that the little man has a sense of Easter's prying eyes. This kind of gaze sensitivity is usually only found in the best scouts. And the device he took out that could open a blue light curtain was most likely the one that found Reynoldsson.

East knew that if he was discovered at this time, it would be impossible for him to escape under the siege of the four legendary powerhouses of the Business Alliance. It may even be that because he was attacked, Sonia and the others gave up their plans to save him. And this kind of abandonment of the right time and place will only bring disaster.

In the time that followed, Esther was quieter, lying motionless on the branches, and even when observing the trees, he deliberately avoided the small man's body, so as not to be sensed by his gaze.

In addition to the bald man and the small man, there are two other people here.

One was a green-haired man about thirty years old, wearing a terrible dead deer head. Despite his scary appearance, East felt that he should be the weakest one here.

The other was a guy in a mage's robes. East recognized it at a glance as the guy who fired the dissociation spell at him. And it looks like that guy is the leader of this team.

The mage leader has been busy arranging a teleportation magic array. With East's eyesight, he had a feeling that he couldn't see the depth, which made him very uneasy. And the arrangement of that teleportation magic array was very high, obviously prepared to forcibly open a path to attack Reynoldsam's shelter.

From their occasional conversations, Esther had learned what they were called, and some of their plans. But it wasn't until the lamb was all cooked that he saw the dark-haired guy who had stabbed him in Reynoldsson's mouth.
