The damp and battered stairs were rising up, and as the passage from the fault narrowed, Thorne, who was leading the way, knew they were about to reach the Rat Man camp.

- "See through the invisible!"

Suddenly, the ring of insight worn on Thorne's finger floated an imperceptible magical light, and then his eyes flashed a shimmer in the dim passage.

Thorne, who obtained the ability to see through invisibility, quickly looked around carefully in the eyes of several people in surprise.

"boom!"

When he noticed a nearly transparent eye-shaped rune diagonally above, Thorne pulled out his long sword and stabbed it like lightning.

"Someone cast a spell of prophecy to watch us secretly." Thorne put the long sword in the scabbard and explained to everyone: "We are being followed."

The eye-shaped rune that has just appeared is the wizard's four-ring spell "Secret Eye". After using it, an invisible magical eye can be created within the casting distance, and this magical eye that can move freely also has a normal vision of more than ten meters. dark vision.

The casters can receive visual information through mental connection according to any situation observed by the magic eye. It is a prophecy spell that is especially suitable for long-distance reconnaissance.

"When did it start?" Malvasa raised her head and looked around, and found that there was nothing unusual, her tone was a little puzzled.

"It should be the same person as before. I suspect that an unknown enemy has been watching us secretly from the moment we entered the secret underground passage." Thorne looked at the direction of the passage that was about to arrive and said his guess.

"Master Qingchen, don't you have any feeling?" After thinking about it, Thorne turned his eyes to the Druid again.

Because the other party is a Druid, and his main attribute is perception, Thorne believes that his induction ability will only be higher than his.

As soon as Thorne's words fell, everyone turned their attention to the indifferent Druid, obviously wondering why the person with the most insight in the team was not at all abnormal.

"It may be because the unknown existence observed in secret has been lingering on the little brother Thorne, and has not focused on me. And my animal companion has never felt the slightest abnormality." Feeling everyone's feelings Eyes, Master Qingchen explained calmly.

After speaking, the Druid's eyes drooped slightly, he pondered for a while, reached out and took out a small turtle shell with a mark and a small unknown white animal bone from his pocket, and smiled lightly:

"Since there are unknown enemies in the dark, then I will simply predict whether there will be a real crisis in our next process."

Then the druid closed his eyes slightly, stroked the animal bones and turtle shells in his palms, and said a short prayer.

When the pale green light on the animal bones and turtle shells dissipated, the Druid slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Thorne with an inexplicable meaning, and said with a smile:

"Although the simple prediction is not as accurate as imagined, the blurry image I saw is the highest level of security for our group, and there may be some kind of surprise, then, this at least proves that our next The process will never encounter a fatal crisis.”

At this time, the goblin wizard Malvasa also took out a gold coin with a round square hole from her pocket, ejected it gently into the air, and then stretched out her small hand to receive the gold coin that was still swirling in the air. In the palm of his hand, he immediately observed it carefully, and with a slightly hesitant expression, he put the gold coin into his pocket and said, "It's really not dangerous, let's go."

Seeing the gold coin in the palm of the goblin wizard, Thorne's expression flashed with surprise, because the appearance of this gold coin is very similar to the mark left on the wall of the tower in the town of waterfalls. Obviously, it is inseparable from the Insight Organization. .

So he turned his doubtful eyes to Andrina beside him, trying to verify, just to meet the eyes of the other party looking at him.

Thorne understood the general meaning from Andrina's eyes, nodded slightly to her, and walked to the front first, leading the crowd to the exit.

When the group came out of the underground tunnel, Thorne looked at the silent rat-man ruins and the rat-man corpses that had not been eaten clean, and expressed his doubts in his heart: "It seems a little quiet here. normal."

Then, he walked to a nearby rat-man corpse, and immediately found that the rough leather armor of the rat-man corpse had been smashed. Judging from the bloodstains left during the smashing process, it looked more like a kobold. left.

"Could it be that after I left, this place was swept again by a group of kobolds." Thorne moved his gaze to the second corpse and found that the traces of tumbling were almost the same.

Just as Thorne was leading the group and was about to continue searching forward, a kobold in a black robe suddenly appeared more than 20 meters in front of him and walked in the direction of the crowd.

This kobold's physique is taller and more burly than ordinary kobolds, and it also gives him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"It turned out to be the kobold dragon warlock who escaped." Thorne with a very good memory instantly recognized the identity of the other party.

"Thorn, is that kobold a subordinate of the Red Dragon player?" Andrina glanced at the kobold walking towards here, and asked by sticking to Thorne's side.

"No, he is Heilong's subordinate." Thorne's expression sank, and he moved his hand to the position of the sword hilt without a trace. Now he has guessed who the unknown existence secretly peeping at him is.

Heilong's subordinate?

Hearing the conversation between the two of Thorne, the other people all stopped and turned their attention to the kobold warlock who walked over with a step that he did not recognize.

"Players on the surface, do you know whose territory is here?"

When the distance between the two sides was about ten meters, the kobold warlock stopped and looked at Thorne and his group. First, he glanced at the goblin wizard and the orc juggernaut in surprise. His heart seemed to be balanced a lot, and then he made a high-pitched voice. Appears very arrogant.

"It's a bit interesting. It seems that this kobold is also a player hidden in the ground. He is so strong. If he can be captured back to Horn Town, it is possible to form an army of kobold warlocks."

Facing the barking voice of the kobold warlock, Malvasa's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile.

"Don't you have Eugene the Ogden?" Kutaig asked with doubts in his heart.

"That child is too young, do you have the heart?" Malvasa squinted at Kutaig, causing the other party's eyes to shrink in fright and silence.

As soon as Malvasia's voice fell, a black figure suddenly appeared on the roof of the ruins, and then the figure jumped forward and fell steadily in front of the kobold warlock.

Thorne looked at the blond girl holding a sheathed long sword not far away, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Although this seemingly gentle and quiet girl had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, giving people a feeling of being approachable, but he couldn't help but have the idea that the other party was some kind of terrifying beast.

"So...it's her." At the same time, the goblin wizard Malvasia saw the blond girl's appearance, her eyes hidden in the pointed hat froze for a moment, and an inexplicable meaning appeared immediately.

Then she stretched out her hand and pulled the brim of her hat down a bit, and said to herself in a voice that no one could hear, with a gratified tone: "So this little girl is still alive."

At this time, the most calm Druid in the group noticed the warning from the animal companion in his sleeve, and immediately lowered his voice to remind everyone: "Everyone, be careful, this little girl is the black dragon."

Everyone heard that, except for the goblin wizard, their expressions all changed, and they involuntarily began to clench the weapons in their hands.

At this tense moment, the kobold warlock standing behind him took a step forward, looked at the crowd, straightened his waist, stretched out his small paws and pointed at the blond girl and said solemnly:

"Listen to me, all of you, standing in front of you is the Holy Adventist of the multiverse, the master of this dungeon, the **** in the hearts of hundreds of millions of kobolds, the Queen of the Black Dragon, Sigrid, stunned. What are you doing, you don't even pay homage."

"..." When the blond girl with a slight smile heard the kobold warlock say the word worship, her expression changed, and she forcibly resisted the urge to kick him and gave the kobold a sideways glance.

Seeing that the other party was frightened and shut up honestly, he looked at everyone, smiled slightly embarrassedly, and continued to maintain the image of a quiet girl.

"It's good to have an obedient subordinate, and I'll bring one when I go out the other day." Seeing the embarrassment on the blond girl's expression, and the kobold warlock who kept his mouth shut, Malvasia With a relaxed look, he looked at Thorne and asked casually, "Sonne, do you know why the big man likes to take his secretary when he goes out?"

"Uh...how could I possibly know this." Thorne was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly asked, and a jingle appeared in his mind immediately, but he didn't dare to say it, and just replied with a pretense of confusion.

"Because I'm too embarrassed to say it, the secretary can help me to say it, and the secretary can help you read a long list of honors and titles that I'm embarrassed to read out, and even those who are embarrassed to tease, the secretary can help Flirt, don't you think so, the little girl in front."

Malvasia fixed her gaze on the blond girl, raised her voice deliberately, and explained to everyone with a smile.

"..." The blond girl lowered her head and glared at the kobold warlock fiercely, causing the other party to fight a cold war, and then she met Malvasia's gaze and was about to refute.

Suddenly noticed that the goblin wizard raised her head and smiled at herself, and then her magical voice echoed in her mind.

So in the other party's voice transmission, the blond girl's calm eyes suddenly became richer, from calm at first to surprise, and finally to shock, and then returned to calm again.

"Thorn, the two of them are using the communication technique to talk." Andrina, who noticed the abnormality, whispered in Thorne's ear.

"It seems that this black dragon survived from the last batch of players, and also knew Malvasia." Thorne looked a little relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, Thorne noticed that the blond girl named Sigrid seemed to have reached some agreement with Malvasia, and nodded slightly to the other party, and then he immediately noticed that the other party locked a pair of pale green eyes. to yourself.

"It seems that the black dragon player has always been watching them secretly when they were in the underground secret passage." Thorne felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, glanced at the other party casually, and suddenly wanted to understand the doubts left in his heart.

When Thorne reacted, the black dragon player had already approached him in the eyes of everyone's doubts. Then he bowed slightly, stretched out his right hand, and politely introduced himself to him in a soft voice:

"Hello, half-elf ranger friend from the surface, my name is Sigrid, nice to meet you."

"This..." Looking at a small hand, Thorne glanced left and right subconsciously, wondering why the other party looked for him directly.

However, he did not show a twisted look, but chose to hold the other party's cold little hand generously, looked at the other party's eyes calmly, and introduced: "My name is Thorne, nice to meet you."

Um?

Just when Thorne was about to let go, he suddenly found a huge force on his palm, as if being clamped by iron tongs.

While making it difficult for him to break free, it also made his palms hurt so much that it felt like the bones of his fingers were about to be crushed.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed a playful flash in the other's pale green eyes, as if saying that as long as you open your mouth softly, I will immediately let go.

"Nima!" Thorne scolded inwardly, comparing his strength with a giant dragon. He was obviously incomparable to a half-elf.

Even a newborn wyrmling has a strength of 11 or more, and these beta testers descended on a world 400 years ago.

Then this black dragon has lived for at least 400 years. For a 400-year-old dragon, they have reached the prime of life, the challenge level is above 15, and the strength attribute is guaranteed to be 27 points.

As long as the opponent is willing, tossing him around like a ball with one hand is easy and comfortable, which makes him compare with the opponent.

However, it is naturally even more impossible for him to admit defeat to the opponent.

So Thorne didn't think about what the other party meant for the time being, he endured the pain like a crushing palm, and with a thought, the "Desert Fire" specialty was activated by him instantly.

A layer of light orange mixed with darker flames appeared in his clenched palm like lightning.

With his current level 8 swordsman strength, the "Desert Fire" feat can add 8 points of fire damage. Since he has just acquired the "Blood of Flame" feat, he will add 3 points of fire damage again, adding up to 11 points of damage. .

11 points of fire damage is an instant instant kill for ordinary civilians or goblin kobolds. For a black dragon at least in its prime, the opponent can be completely immune.

However, 3 points of Thorne's fire damage are damage that ignores all resistances, which means that even if the black dragon has resistance to fire immunity, she still can't defend against these 3 points of fire burning.

Just like now, when the flames condensed in Thorne's palm, the black dragon in front of him clearly felt the burning pain, and then she subconsciously relaxed a bit.

However, just as Thorne was about to take this opportunity to break free, the stubborn black dragon girl suddenly endured the burning pain in her palm and clenched her hand tightly again.

"Crack!"

There was cold sweat on Thorne's forehead, because he had clearly felt that a certain phalanx on his palm was deformed by the opponent, and the power of his flame was spreading in her palm.

However, for Thorne, who has the "tenacity" expertise, this kind of pain is like a pediatrician. He can fully bear it. The worst case is that his palm is crushed by the other party. Master Qingchen recovered his ease with a single treatment.

This black dragon girl is different. Although the flame of "Desert Fire" can only cause 3 points of damage each time it beats, the flame damage can continue to accumulate and accumulate as long as Thorne does not stop.

At this time, it was as if her entire palm was being baked on the flame. If it really lasted too long, the little black dragon's palm might even be burned into black coke.

Anders Lena looked at the eyes of the two of them, but never let go, and immediately understood that the two sides were competing in secret.

Although she didn't quite understand what was causing it, she knew that what she needed to do now was to just wait and watch quietly.

Besides, she found that Thorne's expression remained calm all the time, which showed that he had not lost his way.

Among the other people, the goblin wizard raised the brim of his hat a little bit, with a playful look in his pale red eyes, looking at the two competing with relish, the corner of his mouth involuntarily raised a smile, so that in the Inadvertently exposed two cute little fangs on the upper jaw.

For some unknown reason, Master Qingchen walked to Thorne's side, a few steps behind, his expression as calm as ever.

Only the Orc Sword Saint Kutaig clenched the long sword tightly, and his eyes like sharp swords were locked on the black dragon girl, as if the other party moved slightly, the sharp long sword would slash at the other party at any time.

Suddenly, the competitive Thorne saw the black dragon girl who was struggling to endure the burning pain. A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then the other party's pale green eyes narrowed slightly, and these small eyes seemed to come from a ferocious giant beast. Death stare.

And Thorne also instantly felt something was wrong. This feeling is indescribable, as if the whole person was frightened, his breathing began to become heavy, his heartbeat gradually increased, and an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness and collapse caused him to Uncontrollable legs have the urge to kneel down.

Longwei!

Thorne immediately guessed why.

——“Soul Soul School (Coping Skill): Perfect Spirit!”

Sure enough, almost the moment he launched the Steel Soul School move, a row of check data also appeared:
