After dragging Ava'er and Carolie along for dozens of miles, I stopped suspiciously and looked back to make sure nothing strange was following behind. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, we can't afford to offend the ancient soulless card guy for the time being. It's strange. Isn't it in the Horadric Tomb, serving as the captain of Duriel's bodyguard? Why is it here?"
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the death of the Sandworm Queen."
"It seems that this is the only reason left. After all, the Sand Worm Queen is also one of the seven lords under Duriel. She was killed. Even if Duriel came out to take a look in person, it would not be surprising."
Having said this, I couldn't help but take a breath of air. I was still too careless and didn't notice these details. If the powerful existence in the sandworm lair just now was replaced by Duriel, maybe we haven't sensed it yet. When it existed, it had already killed us, and easily harvested and packed up our three little pigs with the Zerg scythe.
However, the time when the Sand Worm Queen was killed should have been close to twenty days ago. Even if Brother Card and Duriel wanted to take a look, they should have come long ago. It is impossible to wait until now, or to say that they have been here all the time. Staying here, isn't Duriel just a house bug? How could you be away from home for so long? Be careful that I, the president of the residential committee, will exclude you from the list of core personnel, you bastard.
As for Brother Card, I heard that he is also a quasi-housekeeper who spends most of his time in the ancient tomb. Could it be that he still calculates that someone will come to spy on him in half a month, so he just waits here to wait?
The more I thought about it, the more suspicious it became. I suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that the aura of death I felt just now was just a remnant of Brother Ka, who had already left long ago?
Yes, this is the most likely possibility. When Duriel left an ice mark in the hell world, I didn’t know how long it took, but I was still frozen when I stepped on it. I even relied on the power of this ice mark to get promoted. It can be seen that a A true strong man, the traces he leaves behind are difficult to be erased by time.
Of course, Brother Ka's strength cannot be compared with Duriel, but I think it's not a problem to retain its aura for ten or twenty days.
How about going back and taking a look? The thought of committing suicide popped into my mind.
No, no, we have to plan carefully, at least we can't take the two of them with us. I shook my head when I saw Eva and Caroline standing on the left and right.
If I really encounter Brother Card, I can't defeat him by myself, so escaping shouldn't be a big problem. No matter how strong Brother Card is, he can't be stronger than the Demon King's Flesh Resurrection, right? At best, it's between equals, and since it's a giant mummy species, speed is certainly not what it's best at. I think escaping from its hands shouldn't be a big problem, but it won't be possible for Avril and Kaluge.
"Let's find a safe place to stay and make a plan first." I thought in my heart, but I said this. It was not easy to convince Carolie to let me go on an adventure alone. She accepted Tamoya's entrustment. , now the second-generation spy, keeping an eye on him even more closely than usual.
There is no other way, just keep digging. After my teachings, Carole also helped. It is not a difficult thing to learn in the first place. Only Ai Wa'er, the angel's arrogance is still so cool and inviolable, both physically and mentally. They all refused to do this dirty work and just watched us dig.
Okay, your uncle, wait until you find a chance to transform into the Holy Moon Wolf and see if I don’t mess with you...
The hiding place has been dug. I am not in a hurry. In order to rush on the road, everyone did not eat lunch, so I went to the kitchen specially and cooked a large pot of rice. I made a pot of hot beef sauce and poured it on top of the rice. ,finished.
Wu Fan’s sister controls the rice bowl
Function: Makes people feel calm
Note: Because the word "sister control" naturally makes people think of Lena. Affected by her peaceful temperament in the memory, the mood is naturally peaceful, probably...
With warm eyes, I watched Carole, who was fidgeting as if she was being interrogated by a police uncle, eat the bowl of rice. Then I curled up the corner of my mouth, and four big golden words flashed in my heart: Plan passed.
Then, with a confident smile, he poured out the plan he just thought of in one breath.
"I disagree!"
"Right, then it's decided."
"Your Highness!" Carole brought her pretty face up to face me, so close that I could feel the body temperature coming from her. A pair of purple, beautiful, determined eyes looked at me. The eyes are infinitely magnified.
"I disagree!"
"..."
Yes...yes, the girl controlled the pouring of rice and stuff, and it really didn't work.
I lowered my head in frustration and looked at Caroline cautiously. I tried to tame her with my invincible words...oh, no, I tried to persuade her.
"Don't worry, I won't mess around. I'm just worried about the card... ahem, I'm worried that the ancient soulless card is still inside, so I plan to go and see it alone. With my strength, although I'm not its opponent, But if you want to escape from it, it will definitely not be a problem, but if I take you with me..."
"Yes, if His Highness is alone, even if he encounters the ancient soulless card, he might really be able to escape. If we go, it will only be a burden. I agree with this."
"Who, who said you are a burden? Maybe at a critical moment, I will have to rely on you to save me."
I blinked in a flattering manner. As my younger sister, Carole is not as arrogant as her elder sister. She can be said to be the complete opposite type of personal maid. But because of this, when she is stubborn, she is more stubborn than a pornographic maid. It’s ten times harder to convince, and I’m ready for a protracted battle.
"So, you agree with me to go?"
"I disagree." Sure enough, I knew it wasn't that simple.
"Don't you already agree with what I just said?"
"I just agreed with the statement, but I didn't agree with Your Highness to take this risk."
"Why?"
"Because the effort is out of proportion to the reward." Like a serious teacher, Carole sat upright, staring at me respectfully but strictly.
"Your Highness, what is the purpose of our visit this time?"
"I want to see if I can find any trace of King Arthur from the maggot nest to confirm whether she did something good." Affected by Carolie's aura, I subconsciously sat upright and answered obediently.
"Yes, I'm just here to confirm the traces of His Highness King Arthur. I don't want to say whether there are traces of His Highness King Arthur left in the maggot nest. Even if there are indeed traces of His Highness King Arthur, we may not be able to find clues related to His Highness King Arthur from the traces. In the final analysis, On this journey, our gains are very minimal most likely. It is just because there are really no other clues about His Royal Highness King Arthur that we have to cling to this clue and come here, hoping for a miracle. This is not an exaggeration. , I’m right, Your Highness.”
"Yes." I bowed my head honestly, no different from a student being scolded by the teacher.
"However, His Highness is going to take this risk for such a tiny clue, and face to face with the ancient soulless card that we are temporarily unable to match, even if the possibility of the ancient soulless card still remaining in the maggot nest is only 10% One, and the possibility that Your Highness can escape from it is nine out of ten, and I don’t think it’s worth it.”
"But...but..." I raised my head and glanced at Carolie. This little maid was indeed different from the pornographic maid. She spoke and acted in a precise and well-reasoned manner, without any blind spots, making it completely impossible to refute.
If it were a pornographic maid, she would definitely give me a vicious tongue-lashing, and then entangle me with her endless magic-tonifying tenderness, completely wiping away the little adventurous seed in my heart.
"Although what you said makes sense, it is indeed not worth taking the risk for this insignificant clue, but we are already here. If we don't take a look, we always feel very unwilling, right?"
"This kind of dangerous idea is exactly why His Royal Highness the Prince likes to take risks regardless of risks, and it is also why Lord Vilas and the others are worried."
"Yes...yes, my eyes turned black after being scolded by Teacher Carol, and I couldn't raise my head."
"Karuge, it seems... you are very good at doing this kind of thing?"
"Well, because His Majesty often encounters various dangers when he goes out. As His Majesty's maid and knight, it is impossible not to work hard and be vigilant."
Sure enough, it's because of my king, who has the same trouble-attracting physique, so that she and I always have all kinds of accidents. Caroline is used to doing this kind of thing, and I really hit the point of a gun.
"There's no other way, just give up this time." With Carol's strong persuasion, I decided to compromise.
"It's great that Your Highness can understand. I'm sorry, I just used a transgressive tone to speak to His Highness." Caroline's tone softened and she immediately apologized.
"Nowhere, no matter where, you are doing it for my own good. Come on, after all that has been said, are you thirsty? Drink this glass of water." I poured a glass of water to Teacher Karoujie diligently and handed it to her respectfully. .
"How can I ask His Highness to pour me tea?" Caroline was immediately in a hurry, not knowing whether she should answer it or not.
"Do you want to betray my sincerity?"
"Then...then I'm not welcome." In a dilemma, Caroline took the cup anyway. Maybe she didn't want to let down my kindness, or maybe she was really thirsty, so she drank it all in one gulp.
Then his body tilted and he fell down without even reacting.
The plan goes through!
I snapped my fingers and smiled proudly.
The stuff given by the dirty maid was really useful. As expected, Carole poured it out as soon as she drank it. She also often used this trick to make her poor sister faint, then tie her up and stuff her into the closet, and then pretend to be her sister and do all kinds of terrible things. For example, on the third birthday of God, it turned out to be Caroline. I came to participate with my king, but the cunning sister used this method to replace the poor sister.
He lifted the fallen girl up and handed her to the dumbfounded Ava'er: "Well, do me a favor and take care of her. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash. The air in Ziyi Boiler is so good that you can dig out oily paper packets everywhere.
Things happened too fast. By the time Aiwaer came back to her senses, a certain druid had disappeared without a trace.
After being stunned for a long time, Aiwa'er's eyes fell on Caroline in her arms.
"He's gone, no need to pretend." She said suddenly.
"Did you see it? You are indeed an angel." Carolie, who should have fainted, suddenly opened her clear purple eyes, looking a little dizzy.
"Because I'm good at mental illusions." Aiwa'er said calmly.
"Sorry, I'm so rude." Caroline sat up slowly, smiled bitterly, and sighed softly.
"You are an excellent maid and a good sister."
Although Aiwa'er didn't speak during the whole journey and looked nonchalant, she actually heard the conversation between a certain druid and her maid, and probably knew what was going on. Being cold and arrogant like her, she couldn't help but sigh.
"No, I'm just a maid and younger sister who can't fulfill her duties." Caroline shook her head as she stood up.
"After all, I didn't convince His Highness to take the risk. It would be nice if I were more mature and capable, and the same goes for my sister. If I could squeeze out more time to spend more time with her, she might not be like this."
"Don't put all the responsibilities on your own shoulders, that's not good." Faced with a determined look on her face, Eva'er didn't know what to say.
"You misunderstood. I am not regretting anything. Although I hope that His Highness can suppress his adventurous thoughts and that my sister can show more energy, I do not hate the role I am playing now. If my sister suddenly changes If I become more capable, maybe I will be troubled and confused, and there is nothing wrong with living for other people."
"I can't say anything about you." Eva'er shook her head helplessly, seeing that Carole was suddenly armored. The light armor wings, smooth lines, and gorgeous patterns made her, an angel, couldn't help but admire her.
A thin sword exuding a quiet luster was firmly held on Caroline's body, making her appear as agile and elegant as the spirit of the lake.
"Are you going to follow me? Even if you go, you will become a burden. That person is absolutely right about this."
"I will serve His Highness to the best of my ability without becoming a burden." Caroline said solemnly, showing confidence.
"Forget it..." Ai Wa'er also stood up.
"You want to go too?"
"Well, don't worry, I will do what I can without becoming a burden." The angel girl said with the same solemn expression.
"I still don't quite understand why you went."
"For...someone. Actually, I don't quite understand it myself. Forget it, I don't think so much."
With that said, the two girls looked at each other, rushed out of the hiding place, and rushed towards the maggot nest.
…
In fact, I have always felt that occasionally, I am quite a genius and quite quick-witted.
For example, when I left the maggot nest just now, I didn't forget to leave a mark despite my busy schedule. Because of this, I was able to return here accurately without a map (the map was still in the hands of Carol Jie).
Desert, this is a desert. Even experienced adventurers often get lost in the boundless sea of yellow sand. However, I found the right direction without any hesitation or confusion.
Humph, I really want to record this scene and show it to those guys who always say I’m a crazy person, so that this unwarranted stigma can be completely washed away.
After getting close to the maggot nest and feeling the pure and powerful breath of death again, I looked cautiously and didn't dare to distract myself from complaining anymore. After gathering my energy, I met two people, Holy Moon Wolf and Cosplay Bear. I hesitated for a while before transforming, and finally chose COSPLAY Bear.
Because alone, there is no need to use wooden signs.
Approach the target cautiously, as slowly as a normal person walking. The closer to the center, the stronger the aura of death. It has reached the point where ordinary monsters will be killed by the aura of death just by walking this distance.
However, there is no threat to the COSPLAY bear. The real threat is the owner of this aura.
It took me half an hour to cover the distance of several kilometers, and then I stopped and stared at the scene of death and desolation in front of me.
This...what is going on?
The source of the strong aura of death is a huge pit with a diameter of a thousand meters and a bottomless depth in front of us. The aura of death in the giant pit is several times stronger than outside. It is absolutely unmistakable.
What exactly is going on? I was a little stunned, feeling that my IQ was not high enough.
At first, I thought that this breath of death was emanating from Brother Ka, and that it might still be here, but the big pit in front of me completely rejected my guess.
The big pit in front of me was clearly formed after being destroyed by an attack, and the breath of death inside was the remaining breath of the powerful attack power. In other words, if the owner of this breath of death is really the card Brother, then this big hole was also caused by it.
Reconnecting to the maggot nest, which is within the scope of this big pit, can I speculate that the person who killed the sandworm queen was actually Brother Ka, not King Xiaodian? Could it be that Du Ruier's men formed gangs to fight? Or maybe the Sandworm Queen betrayed Duriel and was killed by Brother Ka?
Uh... No, I must have watched too many palace fighting movies before I had these strange thoughts. According to Princess Wannian, when the maggot nest collapsed and destroyed and the sandworm queen died, it was clearly not such a scene. Otherwise, the Horadric must be able to feel such an obvious breath of death. No, if it was really Brother Ka, that Horadric would have been dead long ago, and it would be impossible for him to go back alive to tell the news.
It is possible that after learning the news of the death of the Sand Worm Queen, Brother Ka came over and saw the devastation. Thinking of the death of his brothers and sisters, he waved his hand in anger, and a big pit was formed.
Although this speculation is a bit naive, it is the most reasonable.
However, this is not what I should worry about most right now. No matter what the reason is, even if the Sandworm Queen is killed by Brother Ka, it has nothing to do with what I am worried about.
Confirming whether Brother Ka is still here is the focus.
He swallowed hard and said he wasn't nervous. That would be a lie. After all, he was the captain of Du Ruier's personal guard. His strength may not be inferior to that of the demon king's flesh and blood resurrector. If he is not careful, his life will be seriously affected. It will be over.
One step, two steps, I cautiously took a slower and more cautious step than before, and finally stepped into the huge pit in front of me to find out.
However, just when I stepped into the huge pit, suddenly, a bone-deep cold came from my feet. The skin and flesh that the COSPLAY bear is proud of are rough, and it is extremely resistant to physical attacks and magical means. The high-defense bear skin was defenseless against the cold. In the blink of an eye, the foot that stepped into the huge pit was frozen, giving me no chance to react and retract. Moreover, this wave The ice kept spreading from my feet up, trying to freeze me.
At this moment, my mind was in chaos, and countless thoughts rushed out.
Oops, fell into a trap?
Are you kidding me, where did this biting coldness come from? I couldn't even feel it just now, but in front of this coldness, the permeating aura of death was like a layer of disguise, a layer of disguise that was ten times stronger than it. The disguise of a hundred times more power.
Duriel? Is Duriel here?
Thinking of this possibility, I feel like I have fallen into an ice cave. Yes, that's right, there is a feeling of attribute in this powerful cold, which is very similar to the ice path I walked in the hell world. It's just that But the biting coldness in front of him was more intuitive and direct, as if the owner of this power was nearby.
It's over. If it's really Duriel, then I really have to explain it here today. I still have the self-knowledge. Although my strength is infinitely close to the peak of the world's power, facing the four demon kings who have surpassed the world's power, I am There was no chance to move in front of them.
But no, if Duriel was here, then with its strength, it should have noticed the auras of the three of us before. How could it have let us go at that time?
These complicated thoughts flashed through my mind very quickly, and in just a moment, my face became colorful and constantly changing.
Although the brain is still a mess, the body of the COSPLAY bear, as a fighting race, has already instinctively reacted to the coldness under its feet.
There is no way to get rid of it. With the power of the COSPLAY bear, there is no way to get rid of this terrifying coldness coming from Duriel.
However, Saint Moon Xian Wolf can do it. After all, he has been baptized by this power in the hell world and has strong resistance.
So in an instant, my body reacted, and without waiting for the brain to give orders, I transformed from the cosplay bear directly into the Holy Moon Wolf.
The ice under my feet made a crisp sound and cracked at the moment when I transformed into the Holy Moon Wolf. I quickly retracted my feet, so shocked that I never dared to step into the deep pit again.
The next moment I took my feet back, the black death aura in the entire pit suddenly began to roll. Then, it dissipated invisible as if it was being torn apart, revealing a group of blue water at the bottom of the pit. The terrifying and cold breath. The source comes from this deep blue water.
Where's the dark green venom pool we talked about? Horadric, you tricked me!
My heart was filled with howls of being trapped, and I kept retreating, trying to escape the scene. Just the cold breath emanating from it was already unbearable, let alone the body of the blue water. My life was at stake. , the wind tightened again.
At this moment, the deep blue water in the deepest part of the pit began to surge, changing like a slime, and finally gradually transformed into a human form. I was so stunned that I almost forgot to escape. .
No, it's coming.
Feeling the approaching power of the deep cold, I was so frightened that I jumped up without saying a word, turned into hundreds of phantom clones, and fled in all directions.
You can't find me, you can't find me.
Muttering to myself, I quietly hid in the phantom army, sneaking away inconspicuously at a speed that was neither the fastest nor the slowest.
I quietly looked back and saw that my legs were weak from fear again. The blue water man ignored the other phantoms and rushed directly towards my real body.
Illusion is useless, he can only rely on his two legs. The speed of Saint Moon Xian Wolf is not something to be boasted about.
Gritting my teeth, all the illusions dissipated. I left a series of afterimages at the fastest speed. I flew more than ten kilometers away in the blink of an eye. Wait a little further, then switch back to the COSPLAY bear and use infinite teleportation to let you catch it. It can't reach my little tail, so it can run away smoothly.
Is it really that easy?
I couldn't help but look back again, I was shocked.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that the blue water man was too fast, not inferior to the Holy Moon Wolf, and had already caught up with him, but... it was much slower than I expected, and he was pulled apart into one in the blink of an eye. smaller……
