"The Beast" Cliff is feeling bad at the moment.

As the leader of Wild Fang, he was pretty sure he was making a pretty good deal this time. Despite their notoriety, the Wild Fangs mercenaries are brave and undaunted by their ability to carve out a niche on this plateau. Half a month ago, they received this commission, asking Wild Fang to disguise himself as a bandit to loot a caravan, which is often the case for Cliff. In fact, many raids on the Eagle Plateau against caravans have wild fangs behind them, but they have always been very hidden, and no one has been able to catch them. For Cliff, this commission was no different from the ones they had received before, it was nothing more than an opportunity to strike a mortal enemy, or to kill someone with a knife. It didn't matter to Cliff, they were sure to do the best they could. And as it turned out, they succeeded in completing the commission, not only being paid handsomely, but also plundering a lot of valuable gems and construction parts. For Cliff, it can be regarded as a big harvest. Not to mention that the client was quite generous in saying that they could dispose of the loot they plundered at will, which was not a small gain for the Wild Fangs.

As usual, the Wild Fangs with the loot did not return to their lair immediately, but found a hidden cave nearby to hide the loot, and then sent someone to contact the "skillful hands". They are members of the thieves' guild and specialize in getting rid of tricky swag and things that don't fit in the open. It's not the first time that Wild Fang has done this kind of thing, and naturally he has connections with these people. According to his ideas. These gems and build materials are so precious, those guys can't wait to rush up and get a piece of the action.

But things went in a different direction that Cliff hadn't expected at all. They did find a "skillful hand" in the neighborhood. However, although those people were indeed very interested in the gems and precious construction materials, they had no intention of buying them at all. At first, Cliff thought it was a deliberate attempt to lower the price, or that these greedy guys were planning to make a good commission after seeing so many good things. But then he found out that these people didn't care about money at all. Even if he doubled the commission, no one would dare to take the goods and get rid of them, and in the end Cliff had to settle down and put them in charge of contacting buyers, but even then, these people were unwilling to help.

The refusal of these "skilful hands" to cooperate angered Cliff, who was eager to slaughter a few and show the monkeys if they dared to refuse his demands. However, Cliff did not dare to do so, these "skillful hands" belonged to the Thieves' Guild, once they killed their own people. Then don't expect those "skilled hands" to help you do the work again.

From these "skillful" actions, Cliff already sensed that something was wrong, and maybe there was something wrong with the goods he had robbed this time. But at this point, of course, he had no reason to spit out the meat he had swallowed in his mouth, so Cliff managed to find another "skillful hand" to entertain him with good wine and meat, and at the same time asked himself what was wrong with what he had done, and what was the origin of these goods? What's the problem?

But no matter what Cliff asked, the "skillful hand" would not answer. In the end, he was really forced by Cliff to do nothing, so he could only say this to him with the strength of wine: "It's not that I don't want to help you, Brother Cliff, I'll tell you the truth." You're in trouble, you're in trouble! Whoever you look for on the Eagle Plateau will not dare to give you this batch of goods. Let's be honest. Not long after you robbed this shipment, we were already warned. Whoever dares to sell this batch of goods will destroy the entire Thieves Guild......... Eldest brother. It's not that we don't want to help, but we really want to live......... If the boss knows that we have given this batch of goods to someone else, then we are really dead! ”

And that's all Cliff could get, and he didn't want to answer the rest when he asked the other party, and he didn't even say who the other party was. However, with this information alone, Cliff had already sensed that something was wrong, and that it was not possible for anyone to threaten the existence of the Thieves' Guild. You must know that the Thieves' Guild is a secretive organization, and their network is so complex and hidden that most people have no idea how terrifying these dark existences are. And this powerful organization spread throughout the Eagle Plateau was actually threatened and swallowed up, which really surprised Cliff. You must know that when he first heard that the other party threatened to destroy the Thieves' Guild, Cliff was very unimpressed, because the Thieves' Guild is really difficult to destroy. Even the rulers of the Skar Federation did not dare to say such things. But the other side dared to say that -- well, this can also be regarded as ignorance. However, the Thieves' Guild did not laugh at this threat, but treated it as a real threat, and this reaction immediately alerted Cliff. Although the "skillful hand" didn't tell him much, Cliff was sure that the Thieves' Guild definitely believed that the other party was not just talking, but really convinced that that force could destroy the Thieves' Guild!

Is there such a presence on the Eagle Plateau?

Cliff was puzzled by this, and he also saw the mysterious Ouroboros pattern on the boxes loaded with goods, but in Cliff's limited knowledge, he did not know which noble family or which power the pattern came from. But Cliff always had a bad feeling that he was really in big trouble this time. After that, no one had contacted them for days, and Cliff was now guarding these things and didn't know who to turn to. Even his men sensed that something seemed to be wrong, but Cliff couldn't figure out what was going on.

Who is the other party.........

Thinking of this, Cliff seemed a little irritated, and he wanted to just drop the goods and leave this ghost place with his own people. But looking at the piles of jewels inside, he was reluctant to let go of so many things. What's worse is that these chests have magic seals on them, and they can't be opened at all for a while. Originally, Cliff also hoped to use the power of the Thieves' Guild to lift the seal and make a fortune. If this continues, I'm afraid they won't even be able to get their money back.

Let's just give up............ Or do you want to wait a while to pick it up?

"Boom Boom ............!!"

It was at this time. Suddenly, a low explosion sounded. It was like a hammer beating a drum on Cliff's heart, and even the warrior, who had barbarian blood, couldn't help but startle, and he hurriedly stood up and looked outside. Soon, Cliff heard screams and shouts coming from outside, followed by a series of explosions, and the next moment, the sound of dense and crowded footsteps, a moment later. A barbarian warrior suddenly ran in panting.

"Boss, boss, oh no!! Oh no!! We were attacked!! ”

"Attack?!"

Hearing this, Cliff shuddered suddenly, and the ominous premonition in his heart seemed to finally come true. He hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forced himself to calm down, and then glared at the warrior in front of him and roared loudly.

"Who is it? Who attacked us? Gather your people now and get ready. Let's kill it! ”

"No, no, boss, it's a dragon. There are dragons outside!! ”

"Dragons?"

Hearing this, Cliff was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly reached out his hand. A slap slapped the shivering subordinate in the face.

"A bunch of waste, what is there to be afraid of dragons. Walk! Follow me to slay the dragon!! Isn't it just a big crawler, watch us kill it in minutes!! ”

"Can't go. Can't go, Boss!! ”

Although the warrior was slapped to the ground by Cliff, he still clutched Cliff's hand and screamed in horror.

"It's not a dragon out there, it's a group of dragons!! There are dozens of them!! ”

"What ?!!"

Hearing this, Cliff was stunned for a moment, where are so many dragons here? Haven't you heard of a dragon's lair around here? Could it be that they are migrating -- what are you kidding, dragons are not migratory birds, why haven't we heard that they have this habit? Besides, even if the dragons have this habit, they shouldn't run this way!!

"Uh-huh, ahhh!!h

At this moment, another scream came, and even the air became much hotter at this time. Feeling the scorching heat, Cliff frowned, and then he pushed away the subordinate who was trembling and collapsed to the ground, picked up the tomahawk by the wall, and strode outside.

The cave that Wild Fang found was not very long, only twenty or thirty meters deep, but because of the many detours and easy to defend, they would temporarily set up camp here. As the leader of the Wild Fangs, Cliff naturally lives in the innermost, and the others, except for the sentry on the road, patrol the surrounding area. After all, it's not the first time they've done this kind of thing, and they're naturally afraid that someone will come to the door to seek revenge.

But when Cliff turned the corner of the wall and looked towards the hole, his eyes widened in surprise.

I saw that the cave that was supposed to be pitch black and cold was now scorched red, and the air was filled with a scorching breath. His subordinates lay on the ground, most of them were charred black, their eyes were round, and their skin and flesh had been scorched and separated from their bones, exuding a pungent and unpleasant smell. It can be seen that these people were burned alive!!

"Roar!!"

At this moment, another roar sounded, and when Cliff turned his head to look at the mouth of the cave, he saw that a mouth almost the size of the entire cave was wide open, and before Cliff could make any more movements, a roaring torrent of flames erupted from the huge bloody mouth with the sound of a dragon's groan.

Not good!!

Although Cliff was a powerful barbarian warrior, he also knew that it was impossible for him to block such a terrible fire impact, without thinking too much, Cliff immediately turned around and ran towards the depths of the cave, but before he could dodge the fierce bombardment, the next moment, the roaring flames rolled forward, completely enveloping him, Cliff only saw a bright red light appear in front of his eyes, and the next moment, the unparalleled heat completely enveloped his body.
