"You're quite right. "It seems that the top brass of the Pop Chamber of Commerce don't seem to have time to think about who is actually speaking.

On the first boat, the old man in gray said bluntly: "If you have a better way, please bring it up immediately!"

Lance just wanted to continue to state his opinion, but who knew that at this time, there was an exclamation from beside him:

"Oh my God!"

"I'm ...... This is...... The lairs of the damn scorpions?"

Everyone was stunned and immediately looked at the window outside the conference room.

The darkness disappeared and was replaced by a very spectacular scene.

It was a strange building, and it was entirely embedded in the edge of the mountain, giving off a faint silver-white glow.

From a distance, it resembles a beehive, with countless entrances and exits densely populated on it, constantly with strange lights coming and going.

At the top, a crawling scorpion is carved in a rugged style.

Lance's eyes narrowed, and he said decisively, "It's a wizard." ”

"Over a hundred entrances and exits, if I'm not mistaken, this is the Crimson Scorpion's lair! Damn, they don't seem to want to take us to their lair. ”

A surprised voice came from the telecommunications device: "You found the headquarters of the Crimson Scorpion?"

"Yes!" said the captain excitedly, "we have found it." ”

"In fact, we don't. Lance calmly replied: "We're still in a cage, just passing by." ”

Everyone was silent for a while.

In this case, even if the old nest of the Crimson Scorpion is found. What can we do?

If you can't do without the protective cover, a qiē is an empty talk.

Judging by the path the floatship was heading, the damn Demon Hunter wasn't trying to drag them to the Crimson Scorpion's headquarters, and the fact that they could see the massive structure was more of a coincidence than a destination.

"Mr. Lance is right, we are just passing through. Nightingale Rogers said bitterly, "The Scarlet Scorpion's headquarters is close at hand, but we can only stay helpless in the ship. ”

"Not everyone is helpless!"

At this point, you can't hesitate any longer!

Lance turned decisively and said loudly into the communication equipment, "I want to ask the captain of every float boat a question. Your ship. Is anyone able to break through the shield, even if it's just one or two people?"

Everyone was shocked by Lance's inexplicable question.

The captain of the ship frowned even more and said, "Didn't we test it just now? No one can penetrate the protective shield at all." ”

Lance shook his head, "No, I'm sorry I lied before. ”

"But in fact, I can. ”

"Since I can, then the rest of the ships. It's also highly likely that someone will be able to do this. I'm alone. Alone and unable to complete too heavy a task. I need some, helper. Do you understand?"

There was silence in the communication channel.

Five minutes later, seeing the Crimson Scorpion's headquarters drift away, Lance was a little anxious.

At this moment, voices rang out in the communication equipment.

"I can. ”

"I can do that too. ”

"Well, at times like these, there's nothing to hide...... I can do it, but at a big cost. ”

Overjoyed, Lance quickly counted five people, including himself, who said they could penetrate the ship's shield in various ways.

They didn't come out before, just because they were afraid that they would be sent out on a mission alone.

At such a time, it is impossible for them to continue to hide it. Because if it continues, there will be only one end, and that is to perish together.

"Very well!" said Lance decisively, "if I'm not mistaken, it's highly likely that all of us will follow the same path." ”

"Because we're 'disappearing' in the same place and going to the same destination. Since our eighth floatship will pass by the Crimson Scorpion's lair, so can the rest of the floatboats. This is our chance. I'll be waiting for you near the Crimson Scorpion headquarters, give us some gear, and we'll set up a squad. ”

"We'll take care of the map, but it's your task to free the floatship from the shackles of the demon hunters!"

......

In a particularly crisis situation, wizards are surprisingly efficient.

Soon, everyone agreed. With Issa as the commander-in-chief of the first floatship, everyone is divided into two sides to fight against the Scarlet Scorpion's conspiracy.

On the one hand, there are the Lance Five, who have the daunting task of trying to get their hands on the revised map of the Roundabout Trail from the Scarlet Scorpion's headquarters. On the other hand, the wizards on the various floatboats must find their own way to break free from the shackles of the demon hunting spiders, otherwise even if Lance and the others get the map, everyone will die the same!

In fact, Lance also considered the idea of escaping by himself through Guò's shuttling ability.

But this idea was quickly dismissed by him. It's not because of emotional factors, but because, in this dangerous area far away from the gathering place of human wizards, it is not easy for him to survive alone.

The awkward position of the First Mountain Range is just one third of the way between the mountain town of Gordon and the Deciduous Hills, two-thirds of the way from the mountain town and only one-third of the way from the Deciduous Hills.

If you go back the way you came, then Reims will inevitably encounter many dangerous places on the road before. If these places are hidden on the float boat, it is easy to get through the protection of the guò shield, but if you go it alone, the magic carpet can not provide such all-round protection, especially in some places where large monsters are dense, Lance is not too confident that he can pass guò safely.

Even if he could escape, his purpose would be frustrated. If he can't get Aiken Whale Oil, he can't complete the refining of his magic power, and on the road to a third-level wizard, this is almost the last hurdle for him.

As long as you can refine the mana, it's done. All he needs to do is accumulate over time. After all, he already holds one of the witchcraft seeds that people dream of.

And the point is that if he leaves alone and continues to go south, it is also problematic.

Even if he could fix the route and map problems, he would still encounter similar difficulties as before.

According to Regis, the remaining third of the road is even more dangerous than the previous two-thirds. The shield will also be open for more time than before.

This means: Next the road to the deciduous hills. It's going to be very tough. Without the protection of the floatboat, it will be difficult for him to walk.

So he had to help the Pop Chamber of Commerce get out of the crimson scorpion quagmire, and at least he had to save a full float boat. Only in this way will he be able to reach the deciduous hills safely.

That's why he finally decided to come forward.

......

In the midst of a quiet tunnel. The sound of slight footsteps came from afar.

A black shadow flashed. It was a middle-aged man with a loyal face—but if you look into his own eyes. You will find that this guy's appearance is basically disguised. His eyes were constantly wandering, and he was clearly a lively one.

"Good, you're the penultimate one. If it's a good idea. In five minutes, the rest of the guys will be there. ”

A voice emerged from the darkness, followed by three people walking out slowly.

The leader introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Lance, are you kefir, or are you Schiller?" ”

"The joke is not humorous at all. Schiller muttered and touched his almost bald head: "Kefir is obviously a woman's name." ”

"Don't worry so much, man. A young voice rang out, a young man with blond hair, with a charming smile: "I am Wald, and this beauty's surname is Liszt, but she won't tell me her name." As for this guy, he's Lance. ”

Wald looked at the woman next to him as he approached Schiller.

It was a young woman with all kinds of charms, and even in this dim light, the mature flesh under the long brown hair still exuded an amazing charm.

She lifted her waist a little lazily, frowned, and said, "There are only five of us, wouldn't it be too dangerous to break into the crimson scorpion's lair?"

"If we could, I'd rather we could find a map and a small floatship at the Crimson Scorpion HQ - as long as there was a shield, wouldn't we?"

Schiller pretended to be a joke to test the crowd's reaction.

His underlying meaning couldn't be more obvious: if they could find these two things, they wouldn't seem to care about the rest of the floatboats. They could have left this nightmarish mountainside early.

Liszt smiled slightly: "You can really be joking, my husband and children are on the ship, and I will not leave them alone." ”

Wald chimed in: "Yes, yes." And I don't think it's too difficult to cross the one-third of the route full of monsters with the strength of just the five of us, without the professional pilots and engineering wizards provided by the Pop Chamber of Commerce?"

Lance simply shut up.

Schiller was bored with himself, and his heart was sullen, but he laughed dryly: "I'm just joking, my wife is also on the boat, and I won't leave her alone." ”

Lance looked coldly at the three of them and exchanged pleasantries.

These guys are able to escape from their respective floats, and they all have some skills.

What's more, it's a bunch of guys with their own agendas.

Liszt said that he had children and a husband, but in fact, according to the analysis of samples taken by the fox from each other's skin when the two sides had just shaken hands, the woman who looked like a young woman was actually a virgin, and Schiller said that his wife was also on the boat, which may be nonsense.

As for Wald, this guy has a bright smile on the surface, but he has been subconsciously wiping his nose.

From the perspective of psychology in his previous life, eight out of ten sentences that this guy said were false.

"I don't know what kind of weirdness the rest of the guy is? Lance sighed inwardly. (To be continued......)
