Kobold - Doug wants to cry but has no tears.
Today he met three real dragons and was honored to lead the way for the real dragons.
If the story ended here, it would be a lucky day. Serving the real dragon could become his bragging rights, and if he was lucky, he could also attract a kobold crush and end his single life.
But the problem is that the real dragon found him again, and made a request that almost scared him to pee—as a guide, take them to scout the forest outside the fortress.
Where is the forest outside the fortress? !
It was nothing before, he often went out to catch rabbits or something, but the problem is that the team that went out to investigate recently has never returned intact, and many of the entire team disappeared.
To be honest, he really wanted to refuse, but the cunning real dragon set out the fact that he was familiar with the terrain from the very beginning, if he refused...
With Zhenlong's outburst of temper, he nailed himself into the ground with a slap on the spot, and the coffin was saved.
There are ten deaths and no life on one side, and a glimmer of life on the other. A wise person knows how to choose.
In this way, Doug took the three real dragons out of the gate of the fortress.
"Three adults," Doug said with a sad face, "you have to take care of me when you encounter enemies after entering the forest. I haven't even touched the hands of a little bitch~."
"Okay! Okay! How many times have you said it!" Jose waved his paw impatiently: "Instead of saying that these are useless, why not think about what you have seen these days, maybe you can still remember the right one." Good news for the mission."
"I've said everything I know. I saw that the team that came back from the outside was covered in blood, and many of them never came back. I heard rumors that the enemies were human adventurers, and the whole forest was full of them. "
The kobold danced with exaggeration, Jose felt helpless and worried.
Although the kobold's words are exaggerated, they also reflect the facts to a certain extent.
Not only the kobold guides, Sanlong also asked other monsters for confirmation, and the answers they got all reflected a message: there are many enemies!
Jinlong Lolita angrily said, "Isn't this telling us to die?!"
"Don't be too pessimistic. Even if O'Neill lets us die, he will make our death worthwhile, otherwise he won't get any benefits."
Jose looked around at the surrounding forests: "There must be some kind of change in the forest."
Three dragons and one kobold passed through the strategic buffer zone in front of the fortress, and stopped in front of the lush forest.
The Jogol Mountains are located in the high cold, and most of the plants on the mountain are pine, cypress and other cold-resistant plants. Due to the lack of human interference and the high magic plane, the trees grow tall and straight. The 40-meter-high tree is very tall here. ordinary.
Forty meters may sound a bit general, but if converted into concrete terms, it would be about the height of a thirteen-story apartment building.
Tall trees have an advantage, that is, the huge dragon will not feel crowded when entering the forest, but there are also disadvantages, such a large forest, it is not easy to hide something.
"Let's search next to each other," Jose squeezed the crystal ball in his hand. The detection of the crystal ball requires magic power to be used. The best detection range is 300 meters around.
For the archers in the magical world, the young dragon in the air three hundred meters is a living target, so the three dragons did not dare to fly, so they had to walk into the forest.
After searching for several hours, not to mention the enemy, not even a rabbit was found. Three dragons and one dog found a flat place to sit down and discuss.
Jose looked at the only golden dragon loli that could be discussed: "Arigos, what do you think?"
Arigues lowered her head and pondered for a moment: "I found a lot of camping traces along the way. These traces are at least from last night. Obviously, the enemy retreated or hid."
Jose nodded: "I think so too. The large group of enemies should have retreated, while the small group of enemies hid. Even if they all retreated, they would leave behind something, something that can interfere with the detection magic." This thing, this thing is our mission goal."
Saying yes, he couldn't help frowning, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "I hope I don't meet you."
Think about it with your toes, and you can tell that the enemy has spent so much effort to leave a means of interfering with the detection of magic, and the three young dragons will definitely not let the three young dragons easily destroy it.
While finding the source of the mission, the three dragons will also encounter guards or trigger protective measures, and use the strength of the three dragons to face these near-deaths.
At the same time, Jose also understood why the young dragon was chosen to carry out the "minesweeping" mission.
To use a crystal ball, you must have magic power. The red nest lacks spellcasters, and dragons are magical creatures. Even young dragons that have not yet awakened the ability to cast spells have magic power in their bodies, which meets the standard for using crystal balls.
Moreover, the young dragon's combat strength is weak. From the perspective of the superior, sacrificing the young dragon that is useless in a short period of time and keeping the most scarce dharma at the moment is almost unnecessary to consider.
Of course, the mood of the victim is not so beautiful.
"Damn it!"
Jose felt aggrieved at the thought that O'Neill would come to receive the fruits of victory after Long found the source of the problem, but there was nothing he could do.
Just like the Kobold-Doug dared not refuse the real dragon, even the dragon himself dared not refuse the mission. Refusing the mission was a challenge to the ruling order established by the Matriarch of the Red Nest, and would be dealt with by military law.
One side is ten deaths and no life, the other is nine deaths and one life, wise people know how to choose.
"Cassie, it's your turn to provide magic power to the crystal ball," Jose handed the crystal ball to Bailong.
Even the number of people is calculated, and the three dragons provide magic power in turn, just to ensure the uninterrupted supply of magic power in the crystal ball.
"Go ahead."
The team set off again.
At the same time, in a huge cave, a dozen people gathered around the innermost corner of the cave, with a round altar in the middle, and a golden diamond inlaid in the center of the altar.
A soldier looked at the scenery inside the cave. The entrance of this cone-shaped cave was large, and it became smaller and smaller as it went inside.
"Captain Oluke! You are so wise! No matter what those monsters think, they will never think that we are hiding in such an obvious cave!"
The red-haired sorcerer, Captain Oluk, who the soldiers were talking about heard a smile from the corner of his mouth when he heard his subordinates flattering him, but his tone was calm.
"Don't be careless. Although the hidden magic circle was personally arranged by the legendary mage, there is no guarantee that the mistress of the red nest will send out any strong ones. Everyone must be ready for battle at any time."
The red-haired mage turned his head and looked at the small altar surrounded by everyone: "After three days, the task will be completed and the reward will be paid. Then I invite everyone to have a good time!"
The monkey-cheeked thief rubbed his hands and said with a mean smile, "Captain! How do you play?!"
"You can play however you want!"
"Oye! Long live Captain!" xN
Fortunately, the hidden magic circle has the function of isolating the sound, otherwise the three dragons searching not far outside the cave would have heard it.
After a while, Sanlong came to the cave and looked at the cave with a sweeping view of the inner space.
"There just happened to be a cave," Arrigs suggested, "Why don't you take a rest in the cave and let our guide eat something by the way."
"Okay, rest for half an hour," Jose said, looking at the panting kobold.
After searching for so long, the three dragons are far from reaching the limit, but the kobold guide, Doug, is out of breath.
