Chapter Ninety-Six: The Viper and the Blade

"I always felt something was wrong."

Dylan gestured with his hands, and with worry and doubt, he silently reported to the dark elf priest beside him, who was also his sister Lisa.

"I always feel like something is following us, and it makes me a little nervous, sister. Are you really sure we don't have any problems along the way? ”

"That's, Dylan!"

Glaring at her brother viciously, Lisa made a few quick gestures in response with an arrogant look.

"Under the protection of the great spider goddess, no one can detect our whereabouts. And isn't that your responsibility and that of your subordinates? If you're in trouble because of your misregulation, I'm sure Mistress Barisha will be happy to gouge out your heart and sacrifice it to the spider queen! ”

"My reverence for the goddess has never changed!!"

Seeing his sister's answer, Dylan's face changed, but soon he strengthened his gesture again.

"But sister, you know, we're just warriors, not priests, and we're not mages. The blades in our hands can pierce the throats of any monster that dares to stand in front of us and behind us, but we can't access the invisible magic that hides in the darkness! If someone were to probe us with magic, we would be very hard to notice! ”

"Ridiculous."

Lisa scoffed at her brother's judgment, the dark elves themselves possessed quite strong anti-magic abilities, and even spells below level four had almost no effect on them. Of course, it is not excluded that there are powerful mages among the enemies, but this is the territory of the gray dwarves, and the incompatibility between the gray dwarves and magic is known to everyone throughout the dark region. If it's the territory of the Mind Flayer, then things are very different, those octopus heads' mastery of psychic abilities is simply terrifying to the point of outrageous, and if they don't have enough self-confidence, absolutely no one wants to get close to that hellish place.

Because of this, Lisa can't look at her brother's weak appearance at all.

"I've cast a spell to make sure that no one is following us in the vicinity, so you can rest assured. Of course, if you are not at ease, you can also search for it yourself. ”

Hearing Lisa's response, Dylan frowned, he knew better than anyone else what kind of character his sister was. But Dilan just felt very uneasy for some reason, as the head of the family's martial arts, as a battle-hardened warrior, Dilan always felt that the situation in the past few days was very wrong. His instincts, honed through his tempered instincts, alerted him to approaching danger, and sometimes Dylan felt like he was being watched. But what puzzled him was that this gaze did not come from one side, but from all directions. So much so that several times Dylan felt as if he was not traveling in the depths of the dark realm, but was standing in the middle of the gladiatorial arena of Morsoblais, feeling the gaze and gaze cast from all directions. It made him feel uneasy, but what could he do? After all, he is only a man, a warrior.

But this time the warning was extraordinary, there was nothing around, but Dylan found that his heart was beating unusually fast, which reminded him of the slaves of the gladiatorial arenas, the defeated slaves would be locked in a fence and then become food for the beasts. Dylan used to admire the terrified and trembling expressions of the lower creatures when they faced the beasts. But now, when it was his turn to enjoy the feeling, Dylan didn't find it funny at all.

"Sister, this time is really different."

Swallowing his saliva, Dylan decided to fight hard. He knew that his intuition had always been accurate, and he was able to achieve the position of the first family's martial arts chief, because his intuition would save his life at the most critical moment every time. This time, the warning in his heart was so strong that Dylan was convinced that it was definitely not his delusion. In addition, even his own sister, who is a high-ranking priest, cannot detect anything unusual, which makes Dylan feel even more frightened. So he would rather be taught a lesson by Lisa than continue to advise.

Seeing Dylan so unbelievable, Lisa's expression suddenly became much gloomy. The Dark Elf is a typical female and male inferiority, and as a high-ranking priest, she was questioned by a man three times and twice, which is already an extraordinary offense!! Thinking of this, Lisa reached out and touched her waist, trying to take out her seven snake whips and give her brother a lesson that he will never forget.

Soon, however, another Dark Elf woman stepped between the two.

"I think you should listen to him."

Another high-ranking priest had a calm expression and quickly gestured to Lisa, trying to appease his anger.

"There is no room for failure in this mission, and we should indeed plan our actions. Don't forget jì, the spider queen has no mercy on the loser! We have to make sure that the mission is foolproof! ”

Although she was very upset with the other party's tone, Lisa had to admit that what she said made a lot of sense. The strength of the dark elf's family is entirely due to Rose's favor, and if she can't complete this mission, then you can imagine what will happen to the family that loses Rose's favor. The dark elf woman breathed a sigh of relief when Lisa's expression loosened, and she turned to look at Dylan. He made a few quick gestures.

"I've done magic too, and at least around here, we haven't found anything."

That's all she said, but Dylan knew what she meant. Eventually, however, he gritted his teeth and gestured quickly and cautiously to the two of them.

"We can pray for guidance from the queen ..............."

However, before Dilan could finish his words, he saw five or six writhing snake heads coming towards him in front of his eyes. Although as a martial arts master, Dylan had enough strength to dodge the blow, but he just stood there motionless, letting the snake's whip hit him in the face, knocking him to the ground. And the next moment, before Dylan could say anything more, Lisa had reached out and grabbed his throat.

"You're just a male who actually longs for the gift of the spider queen?!"

At this moment, Lisa had already exploded her lungs, completely ignoring the rule that the dark elves were only allowed to use sign language when they went out, and roared loudly.

"Just having this thought is the greatest blasphemy against the goddess!! You idiot!! Even we can't do such a thing. Just because of your stupid, vague delusions, you have to ask the Goddess for guidance?! ”

Dylan opened his mouth and looked in horror at the snake's head dancing in front of him. They are opening their mouths, baring their toxin-laden fangs, threatening defiance of themselves. Dylan had no doubt that the next moment they would bite them and inject the deadly venom into their bodies until they died.

"A wise man should know more about proportion."

Lisa stared at Dylan coldly and spoke.

"Xinafei's mother will never care about the life or death of a son, you ..............."

At this point, Lisa hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to kill her brother now or teach him a profound lesson.

But soon, she won't need to worry about it. A shrill whistling sound came overhead, causing the dark elves to look up in surprise.

"Boom!!"

The next moment, there was an explosion, and the shining light tore through the darkness, mixed with a strong air current, which instantly enveloped the dark elves.

Lisa let go of her brother's grip and lowered her head in pain to cover her eyes. The biggest weakness of the dark elves is the strong light, and the light produced by the lightning burst cannot even be seen directly by ordinary people living on the ground, let alone the dark elves living in dark areas. They were the most sensitive to sound and flashes, and at this moment the thunder erupted, echoing in the cavern, and the dark elves only felt the white expanse in front of them, and the roar in their ears was also shaken.

Dylan didn't look much better at the moment, fortunately he had closed his eyes when he was attacked by Lisa before, so he escaped the bright light. Even so, the thunderous roar still shook Dilan's hands and feet. He opened his mouth and gasped for breath, trying to calm his strongly beating heart. Holding the long sword in his hand, Dilan looked around blankly. The entire Dark Elf patrol had collapsed, and the soldiers were paralyzed on the ground, completely out of the fight. And in front of him, the other high-ranking priestess fell in front of him, staring at her with godless eyes, her mouth wide open, and filthy blood pouring out of it.

It is clear that she is dead.

An attack!! It's an attack on a Dark Elf patrol!!

It was entirely because of the experience gained from thousands of assassinations that Dilan escaped the sneak attack from behind. He rolled on the ground in a wolf-like stance, dodging the tail blade whistling from behind. Instead of hitting Dilan, the sharp tail stabbed into the ground, shattering a stone.

What the hell is this monster!

Looking at the huge black shadow that appeared silently in front of him, Dilan's eyes widened in horror. He had seen many strange and terrifying monsters in Morsobrais, but none of them were more terrifying. It had no eyes, but Dilan could feel it staring at him, locking his position firmly in all directions......... There's no way he'll dodge the next attack!

Thinking of this, the Dark Elf Martial Arts Master immediately raised his long sword and threw it at the monster in front of him, and then the next moment he turned around and ran away without hesitation. As for his sister, as for this patrol, as for this mission, it no longer has the slightest meaning for Dilan.

And just as he turned around, an incomparably huge force pressed down on his body like this, and when Dylan felt the cold stinging sensation tear his heart apart, he had already fallen to the ground, and there was no more sound.
