On the winding road, a group of drow escorted five prisoners of war, four kobolds and one jackal. The hands and feet of the prisoners were connected by iron chains, and the iron chains rubbed against each other to make a knocking sound.
The kobold at the end walked a little slower, and a whip whizzed towards him, hitting him on the back with a slap.
"Let's go! Slave!" The drow raised the whip in his hand, and pulled it down again.
The wound was burning, and the kobold Cole gasped in pain, gritted his teeth, and walked forward quickly with fists clenched.
During the exploration, the kobold Cole's team was unfortunately ambushed by the drow elves, and the whole army was wiped out. Five people were caught by mistake and became captives. They didn't know where they were going to be taken.
"Captain Cole, this underdark area is too big. We've been walking for a long time, and we haven't seen the border yet."
The Gnoll lowered his voice and told his guess to the kobold beside him: "This is very likely to be a large Underdark, maybe even a giant Underdark."
Cole remained calm and responded in a low voice: "No matter what, these drow are very strong, and the city behind them may be stronger than Darkmoon City, and the defenses on them reflect this."
As he spoke, he glanced at the drow in front of him, and observed the armor on the drow's body, which was engraved with exquisite wisp patterns.
This strand of empty armor doesn't look very defensive, but it's just a look.
Cole has a deep understanding of this point. As a novice fighter, his full-strength attack failed to break through the defense of the ray armor. It is estimated that special metals were added to the armor material.
However, even the best weaponry depends on who is using it.
Cole unconsciously looked towards the front of the team. At the front of the team, a female drow in a robe was riding a slender leopard, like a general returning from victory.
High Priest!
It was because of this high-ranking priest that our team lost so badly.
Several hours passed, and the drow escorted the captives all the way back to their lair - Black Bone City.
Seeing the scene at the gate of Black Bone City, the five captives were furious.
Gnolls, kobolds, lizardmen, and even a few ogres, these monsters wear collars that symbolize slaves, and are led away by drow masters with iron chains, just like domestic dogs in captivity.
Black Bone City, the home of a hundred thousand drow, the city where slaves weep...
…………………
In the Mordo Peak Forest, Jose was practicing magic, when suddenly a communication request from his family members sounded in his heart.
He checked and found that it was the message from Ergou, so he connected it immediately.
"Master, we are in trouble!" Ergou said in a serious tone.
Jose was not surprised by this.
Over the years, with the prosperity of the Mordo Peak Forest, the regular army can solve 99.9% of the troubles, and the cases where the family members use emergency communication have become less and less.
Correspondingly, once emergency communication is used, there must be big trouble.
"explain!"
The calm voice of the red dragon sounded in the kobold's heart along the spiritual connection, and Ergou felt at ease, and continued: "We have encountered a city of drow, and we have fought against drow."
"The thing is like this. One day ago, one of our exploration teams disappeared. The investigation found that the murderer was a drow elf. We followed the traces all the way and found the underdark area where the drow elves are. We named it H008. .”
"The drow elves in the underdark area H008 are very strong. The thieves team we sent was discovered and hunted down. Fortunately, we made preparations in advance. During the battle, we captured a drow."
"After interrogation, we learned that the drow city is called Black Bone City, and it has 100,000 drow and a large number of drow slaves..."
After listening to the family members' report, Jose felt heavy.
What is the concept of a drow city with a population of 100,000? !
On the surface of the earth, a city with a population of 100,000 is a large city. In the entire Northland, only the barbarian holy city and several kingdoms have such a population size.
In the Underdark, a city with a population of 100,000 is even more impressive. After all, strictly speaking, all the drow are soldiers.
Moreover, Dark Moon City with a population of 30,000 has legendary priests sitting in it, and Black Bone City with a population of 100,000...
This has exceeded the limit that the monster army can handle!
Without even thinking about it, Jose directly ordered: "Don't act rashly, I will arrive as soon as possible."
"yes!"
At the end of the telepathic call, José's eyes flashed with doubt, and he muttered to himself, "Black Bone City? Why does it seem like I've heard of this name there?!"
After thinking about it, he really couldn't remember it, so he simply stopped thinking about it and walked quickly to the nine-ring spiral staircase.
At the same time, he notified the family members responsible for contacting Cassie, the younger brother of Bailong, and ordered them to notify Cassie to come.
For this expedition, he planned to bring Bailong with him.
On the one hand, today's Cassie is already a young white dragon. Some time ago, the white dragon's special profession-Ice Demon Guard was initially introduced, and the two factors superimposed. Cassie is already a master-level combat power and can play a role in battle effect.
On the other hand, Jose wants to take this opportunity to see the power of special professions, and conduct research on the profession of [Ice Demon Guard], which will be good for cultivating dependents in the future. If there is a chance, he also wants to use this to derive other special professions. Profession.
Not long after, the white dragon, Cassie, rushed over and saw the waiting red dragon, and greeted him with a smile: "Boss Jose, is there another enemy this time?"
Seeing Cassie's excited look, Jose frowned: "That's right, but this time the enemy is not the Kuu-tao fish you destroyed last time, they are even more dangerous."
"who?"
"Drow elves, very strong drow elves, stronger than Darkmoon City..." Walking and chatting along the way, Jose introduced the situation facing Cassie.
Three hours later, Jose led Bailong along the map of the Underdark in his memory to the Underdark No. H007 where the kobold family was located.
Flying far away in the sky, Jose saw the scene in the distance.
On a low hillside, an army of eight thousand monsters led by Ergo took advantage of the terrain and took a defensive stance, while the army of monsters at the foot of the mountain launched a fierce attack.
That's right, the enemies who attacked the Red Dragon's family were also monster races such as jackals, kobolds, lizardmen, ogres, etc., and the number of them was about 10,000.
However, these monsters wear iron collars around their necks, and they are slaves of the drow.
Jose looked at the rear of the slave army. A drow army of more than 3,000 people was watching the battle from a distance. These slave owners waved their leather whips and urged the slave soldiers to attack the red dragon family's defense line with their leather whips and long swords.
Seeing this scene, a killing intent rose in Jose's heart, but he quickly calmed down and suppressed the killing intent.
The big fish hasn't appeared yet, so this is not the best time for him to make a move.
"Cassie! These enemies are handed over to you!"
"Happy to oblige!"
Jose nodded, blessed himself with invisibility, and followed the white dragon to continue flying towards the battlefield.
hold head high!
After flying close, the white dragon let out a clear dragon chant to announce his arrival, and swooped down to the battlefield below, brewing ice-blue air in his mouth.
The cone-shaped ice-blue cold air drew a straight line on the ground, and the enemy monsters were swept by the cold air and turned into ice sculptures. The ice sculptures still maintained their last movements, terrified expressions, and escaping movements, as if time had frozen.
hold head high!
A dive to deal with hundreds of enemy monsters, Cassie let out an excited dragon cry, turned back and flew into the sky, and swooped down again.
"Quick! Shoot that damn dragon!"
The drow drew a bow and shot an arrow, aiming the sharp tip of the barbed arrow at the white dragon.
Whoosh whoosh!
The crossbow arrows hit the surface of the white dragon's scale armor, making a tinkling sound, and the white dragon was unharmed.
However, the drow commander didn't expect ordinary arrows to kill the white dragon. Even if the white dragon was a disgrace to the five-color dragon, the defense of the dragon scales was not something ordinary arrows could break through.
All this was to cover the real killing move. The drow commander took off a hand crossbow from behind his waist with an indifferent expression, and pointed the hand crossbow at the white dragon. The arrows in the firing slots were engraved with magic runes.
Armor-piercing arrows!
The armor-piercing arrow is an enchanted arrow specially designed to deal with large creatures with thick scales, and the armor-piercing arrow in his hand is still a high-grade product.
Whoosh!
Covered by a large number of ordinary arrows, the armor-piercing arrow fired by the drow commander flew towards the white dragon silently.
Seeing this scene, Commander Drow raised his heart in his throat, full of anticipation.
Dragon Warrior!
Even in drow society, the title of "Dragon Slaying Warrior" can bring extraordinary glory and status to the owner. He seems to see the party invitation of the top society in Black Bone City, the drow priest who is posing...
Ding!
Without any accident, the armor-piercing arrow hidden in the ordinary arrow hit the white dragon, but the result was surprising. The magic-breaking arrow failed to break through the white dragon's defense just like the ordinary arrow.
Bailong was unharmed!
"How is it possible?!" Commander Drow looked at the white dragon flying back to the sky in disbelief, shocked in his heart.
Not to mention a young white dragon, even if a young red dragon is shot by a top-grade armor-piercing arrow, its defense will still be broken. At most, the arrow will be stuck in its muscles.
Believe it or not, things really happened.
Not only that, the white dragon was startled by the armor-piercing arrow, and his eyes turned to the drow elves in the distance. The breath of the dragon was brewing in his mouth, and it was self-evident what the white dragon wanted to do.
hold head high!
Bailong left behind the demoralized slave army, turned around and flew towards the drow team.
In the sky, the green data flow in the invisible Jose's eyes refreshed rapidly, and he has been using [data-based vision] to observe everything.
Of course, he also noticed the actions of the drow commander, but he didn't remind the little white dragon because he believed in the defense of the little white dragon.
Special occupations, as the treasures of large forces, naturally have their own reasons.
[Ice Demon Guard] can greatly improve the incumbent's defense power, and to a certain extent, increase the incumbent's affinity for ice elements, thereby increasing the casting speed and power of ice magic.
Leaving aside the ability to cast spells for the time being, the improvement in defense was something that Jose could really see.
After entering the combat state, a layer of frost formed on the white dragon's scales. The frost is not ordinary frost, it is the key to the [Ice Demon Guard]'s defense improvement.
However, the drow commander's armor-piercing arrows were not useless.
Under the observation of the red dragon, he found that the scales of the white dragon were cracked, but the arc of the crack was not large, and it was really hard to see if you didn't observe carefully.
Red Dragon put himself in the position and thought about it, making a judgment in his heart.
"It is impossible for an armor-piercing arrow of this level to break through my defense, that is to say, the defensive power of [Dragon Scale of Reverse] is stronger than that of [Ice Demon Guard]."
"If you add [Phoenix Heart], emmm..."
Soon, Jose came to the conclusion that the blessing brought by the golden finger was much stronger than the special profession.
On the other side, with the help of the excellent defensive power of [Ice Demon Guard], the white dragon—Cassie resisted the drow's arrow shooting, swooped several times and sealed the hundreds of drow with the breath of the dragon, turning the drow into a lifelike ice sculptures.
The morale of the drow was broken, and Luo Huang scattered and fled.
On the other side, Nego organized an army of monsters to launch a counterattack, chasing and killing the slave soldiers of the drow all the way.
Everything is going in a good direction.
Suddenly, Jose's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition struck him. He unconsciously looked in the direction of Bailong, who was diving down again.
"Small… "
Before the word "heart" was uttered, a black shadow passed under the white dragon without a sound, and rushed towards the white dragon passing by at low altitude.
Fortunately, Cassie reacted quickly and blocked it with his forearm in time.
The short blade pierced the white dragon's foreleg, opening a gap more than one meter long. The white dragon's scales blessed by [Ice Demon Guard] were like paper paste, and the dragon's blood swayed in the air.
hold head high!
The white dragon let out a painful and angry dragon cry, and turned around to look for the enemy who hurt him.
On the other side, the legendary drow thief fled away immediately after missing a single blow, his body blending into the shadows and disappearing.
Bailong didn't find any trace of the enemy, so he flew into the sky and retreated to a safe position, roaring angrily.
But in the eyes of the red dragon, which maintains [data-based vision], the traces of the enemy are so obvious: the touched plants reveal the thief's position.
Jose swooped down without a sound. On the way down, he sucked in air fiercely, compressing the air into the giant dragon's huge lungs, and the chest cavity expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the moment when it was approaching, Jose opened his mouth, and terrifying dragon flames gushed out from his throat. The dragon flames distorted the air, turning the large dark area into a destructive red color, and accurately shot at the legendary thief on the way to escape.
Earlier, the red dragon had already exposed its existence when it sounded a reminder, and the legendary drow thief had long been psychologically prepared for being attacked.
However, when he really faced the Red Dragon's Long Yan, he realized how unprepared he was.
The defensive magic scroll held in his hand was put back into the scroll bag. Without hesitation, the drow thief immediately triggered the most basic and practical legendary ability of the legendary thief.
Escape into the shadow realm!
In an instant, the legendary thief disappeared in place, which was a true disappearance.
The red dragon's breath watered the earth, and the plants on the surface instantly turned into fly ash, and the temperature of the land rose sharply, turning into translucent glass.
Sensing that the dragon's breath did not hit the enemy, Jose stopped breathing, and [data-based vision] scanned the surroundings.
Legendary ability - there is also a time limit for escaping into the shadow world, he doesn't believe that legendary thieves can stay hidden forever.
