"Let's go up the mountain." Just when everyone was hesitant, Uzov came forward and said.
The so-called leadership is the one who makes decisions in such dilemmas. Going a step further, even when a decision is wrong, one must take the blame. Only by taking responsibility for success or failure can one be considered a true leader. Instead of just picking the fruits of success, failure is the ineffectiveness of subordinates.
Besides, by bringing it up for discussion with everyone at this time, Uzov just hopes to hear some parts that he has overlooked or does not know, to support him in making any decision. The information given by the chief craftsman of the Grand Duke was exactly what he wanted to know.
Although walking towards the river meets the warm and humid conditions, who said that such conditions and climate cannot be found in the mountains. Moreover, the old craftsman said in the last sentence that fragrant nan is mostly distributed in mountainous areas, even though it is below the green belt. In the mysterious terrain, the so-called green zone refers to the height where it does not snow. In some northern countries, it refers to the height at which winter snow melts.
So Uzov quickly made a decision in the dilemma of choosing between the two.
Now that the leader of this industry has made a decision, others will no longer raise objections. Because they can't guarantee that if they stick to another direction, they will definitely be able to find the target tree.
As the night progressed, the hustle and bustle of the campground gradually subsided. The troublesome Master Sword Master ran to take a bath in the nearby river. In addition to him, there are also several female guards who love to be clean. These people also had the idea of whether they could get closer to the sword master, or even go further. Like the Earth, the Lost Earth will take the initiative, but it's not just men in heat.
Mai Erxiu did not go along, because this time was the time for her and Uzov to exchange information. Precisely because their actions at night were mysterious and related to the magician, some ambiguous rumors were rampant among the team.
It was enough that neither of them had explained. Anyway, such rumors would help their actions. As for this rumor reaching the ears of the owner of the dark elves, Boss Uzov... I guess he wouldn't have any ideas. It is even possible to include a dowry and happily send an elf off to get married. If this thing is true.
"Did you find anything?" Uzov asked first.
Mai Ershan shook his head and said: "Same as the previous few days, I got nothing."
"Are we too worried? Or is he just responsible for monitoring us and keeping track of the team's whereabouts?"
"Be careful. If you just want to monitor, the people behind the scenes can send a smarter person. But this person, I feel is not that simple."
In fact, Uzov felt the same way. Because if you just want to know the movements of your own group, the other party can even bribe the people inside and let this trusted person pass on the news that the people behind the scenes want without knowing it, without having to specially install a person. piece. Many leaks are actually not intentional, they are all leaked information inadvertently.
But that young man would exude a strange murderous aura from time to time. It is really hard to believe that such a person is only responsible for the task of surveillance and has no other intentions. But no matter how you probe, you can't find out the method the other party plans to use. Therefore, Uzov and Maiersha could only continue to stand still to avoid alerting the enemy.
However, Maierjiu had a feeling that the other party's plan had already been implemented, but he just didn't realize it. So what exactly is that plan? The dark elf was puzzled.
The road up the mountain is winding and winding. In fact, this forest is rarely populated and there are no roads to speak of. It was the scouts who followed the route of the wild beasts, found the gentle slope, and then cut down the weeds on both sides, just like that, they carved a path. Instead of heading straight ahead when you find the top of the mountain, climb up the rock wall when you see it. Doing so will be very tiring.
Fortunately, everyone's luggage is all items that can be carried on their backs. With the help of the scouts who opened the way and the help of everyone climbing ropes, the way up the mountain was not too difficult.
The trees on the hillside are sparser than those on the flat ground. However, there are still many tracks of wild beasts. Although the scouts had tried their best to find a gentle slope, several older craftsmen in the team were still out of breath while climbing. Even the luggage was left in charge of their apprentices, who could barely walk by themselves, let alone carry things on their backs.
In this kind of terrain, the only ones who can remain active are the warriors who are accustomed to taking risks. Although the craftsmen team usually does some physical work, they use different muscles. Carrying things on their backs to climb mountains, even if they don't complain, their faces won't look much better.
And Mai Ershen was one of the most relaxed people. The most important thing is that she is used to this kind of environment. The underground world is not an environment that is located on the same plane as most people think. There are also cliffs, various ups and downs, and even opportunities for terrain differences to occur more frequently than on the surface. It can be said that every time I go out, it is like going to climb a mountain.
Because of this experience, during the process of going up the mountain, Maiershan could still find opportunities to climb to the treetops and look at the surrounding environment. The reason why I do such physically demanding things is because there is a lingering warning in my heart, and it is getting stronger and stronger. But she still couldn't find the reason.
When she climbed up to the treetops for an unknown number of times and looked at the hillside not far away, what she saw was not a lush forest, but a mess that looked like a giant beast wreaking havoc. Trees were broken and rocks were broken, creating a twisted road. At this moment, Mai Ershan was in a trance for a moment, and then she thought about what kind of creature could cause such destruction.
Suddenly, several clues were connected in her mind. The strong scent of giant beasts, silverweed camphor, and the black dragon Augustus.
Turning over, Melson jumped out of the tree and ran towards the young man she had always suspected among the Grand Duke's team of craftsmen.
Compared to others who were puzzled, the young man with a sinister expression took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Maier without hesitation. The dark elves, who had already been prepared, could not be injured by such a simple attack. He made short strikes and knocked the young man to the ground in two or three strokes. And from his arms, he found the key to this trap.
"What's going on?"
Faced with the sudden attack of the dark elves, the Grand Duke's team of craftsmen almost took out hammers and axes to fight back. But in the end, they endured it and wanted to hear an explanation instead of getting angry on the spot. After all, even if the previous cooperation and getting along were not harmonious, they were by no means enemies.
Uzov, who rushed over, saw at the first sight what Maier was holding in his hand. His eyes flashed with sternness and he asked, "What is this?"
"The thing we have been ignoring, Longyanxiang."
Dragon Drowning Incense is an alchemical product that is concentrated and refined from the excrement of female sub-dragon species when they are in estrus. The formal use is to aphrodisiac monsters and make them mate.
Most of the armies that use Warcraft species as mounts will use this kind of alchemy potion that forces the mounts to breed in order to maintain the number of Warcraft they raise. But there are also nobles who use this kind of thing on women or men. Basically, using it once will destroy a person.
It is not difficult to guess what kind of creatures this thing will attract if placed in such a place.
Mai Erxiu suppressed the man beneath him and said: "Because of the strong smell of silverweed camphor, we ignored the second smell that had been following. And because I lived with Augustus for a period of time, I am used to the scent of dragons, so I have never paid attention to this vague smell. But we will ignore this smell, but some creatures do not. So I am not sure whether there is fragrans in this forest, but I I can be sure that there is a dragon here that has not been known to most people, and it is most likely an earth dragon. Because from the treetops, I saw traces of suspected earth dragons on the eastern slopes. I don’t know, My speculation is not correct."
In the latter sentence, Maier was asking about the young man she was holding down.
Despite the dark elf's slender appearance, the muscles hidden underneath actually possess considerable strength. At least, the person who was pinned down couldn't break free. He had to use all his strength to squeeze the air out of his lungs and make a sound. He said sternly: "Mr. Kawei has long been dissatisfied with everything that the magician has done. Today, in order to remove his wings, I will pay the price with my life!"
The young man's words frightened everyone in the Grand Duke's craftsman team on the spot. Even the old craftsman who took this apprentice looked shocked and tried to explain to Uzov: "President Gantia, this matter is completely false! The Grand Duke never issued such an instruction."
"Hahaha, old man, you were abandoned by Duke Kawei. Of course it's not your turn to know this kind of secret." The young man laughed arrogantly.
The old craftsman looked distressed. He wanted to persuade his apprentice, but he still turned to look at Uzov. "President Gantia, look..." He was interrupted before he finished speaking.
Uzov said: "Master, I believe this is not the intention of the Grand Duke, but someone else.──"
"Yes, do you think it's..."
"─But I have to find out who is behind it. Even if today's actions are to deal with people from the technical guild or my boss, I need to find out more about this, so it is impossible for people to It's for you. If the Grand Duke's deacons or guards come to ask for it, I have no objection and will definitely return his people. But you are just craftsmen and are not good at this kind of thing, so let's leave it to professionals like us. Just don’t interfere.”
Uzov interrupted the great craftsman twice, because he just didn't want to look good on the servants of these noble people. There are always people who think that by climbing to the top, they will become a person at that level, and look down upon those who are working hard at the bottom like themselves in the past.
Although this attitude of the old craftsman in front of him is not obvious, his sense of superiority cannot be erased. Now he still wants to protect his apprentice, Uzov only finds it funny.
Seeing that the old man refused to give up and wanted to say something, Uzov interrupted him for the third time and said: "Master, maybe you don't know our situation yet. What I want to tell you is, don't worry about this kid. Don't worry about the wood, we should run for our lives. Run with all our strength. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will be wasting our time to escape."
"What...what do you mean?" the old craftsman asked in confusion.
Suddenly there was a huge roar that made everyone present tremble with fear. The timid one simply collapsed and sat on the ground.
On the top of the mountain, the earth dragon appears!
