Barbarian: “No need, I can walk! Let Xiaobai carry you! I can definitely walk faster than you!”

Franca was shocked: “Can he talk so much?”

WANG: “Everyone who joins us is shocked by this. But yes, our barbarians can talk a lot.”

As he spoke, the barbarian had already picked up the dwarf and put him on Xiaobai’s back. He picked up the battle axe that had been thrown on the ground and signaled to the king, “You go.”

The king picked up Elizabeth and placed her on Xiaobai’s back – Xiaobai was now in bear form, with a wider back.

Then the king took the staff and walked with Gotrek: “Let’s go together. When the enemies come up later, I can turn into a dragon to block them. You go forward.”

Gotrek: “Okay.”

The barbarian stumbled to speed up.

Nini came to the king and asked: “How can you turn into a dragon in such a small space?”

Wang: “It literally means to block the enemy. Go to the front, or they will crush you.”

Nini looked at Wang and said nothing.

Wang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, my eyelids are not twitching. We will definitely be able to turn danger into safety this time. Find a place to hide after you go out. When the spell is complete tomorrow, come back to meet the owner of this log.”

At this time, Marika in front said, “We’re at the exit! I’ll open the door right away!”

Wang: “Don’t bother. I memorized a knocking technique today. It’s just right for me to use here!”

He hurried a few steps, came to the front of the team, and began to perform the knocking spell – although this spell seemed to have nothing to do with lock picking, it was indeed a universal lock picking spell.

The next moment, everyone heard a click – this is also the reason why the knocking spell got its name. After this spell is cast, the lock will make a sound as if a metal stick is knocking on the lock.

The iron door opened.

Then the putrid, sewer-like smell entered everyone’s nostrils.

Marika pushed the door open first and went out: “There’s a dock outside. We’ve arrived at the underground lake next to the ruins.”

Elizabeth frowned: “Why is this lake water so smelly?”

Wang recalled the map of the ruins and replied, “Because the drainage outlet of the ruins is right next to the lake, the wastewater generated by the laboratory is probably discharged into the lake.”

Chapter 304 Aboleth

Wang raised his head and found the sewage outlet by the lake without much effort. A liquid with a slightly green fluorescent light was flowing slowly into the lake at the speed of quicksand.

It looks pretty disgusting.

Nini’s voice interrupted his thoughts: “The pursuers are approaching!”

Marika: “There’s a small boat on the dock over here. I checked it and it’s usable. There are no traps.”

Wang: “But do we have anyone who can row the boat?”

Xiaobai cried out, obviously wanting to speak but it was difficult for her to open her mouth in her animal form – she didn’t even change back into human form in order to speak, but instead threw the person on her back to the ground.

Wang patted Xiaobai’s bear head and asked, “Can you row a boat?”

“Oh!” The bear nodded repeatedly.

Wang: “I only knew that bears can fish and eat, but I didn’t know you can row a boat.”

Elizabeth: “Maybe because I saw the boatman rowing the boat while I was eating fish?”

Marika: “Stop talking nonsense and come up! Your Highness, I’m here to help you!”

The drow grabbed Elizabeth’s hand without saying a word and took her off the bear’s back.

Flint: “Hello? Can someone help me?”

Gaotrick grabbed him by the collar of his armor and slid him directly onto the boat.

Shorty: “Thank you. Sorry for bothering you.”

Barbarian: “You’re welcome.”

After everyone got on the boat, Marika cut the rope with a sword. Xiaobai, who had turned back to her original form, controlled the pole at the stern that was much longer than her, and gradually slid out of the small dock.

Just at this time the pursuers arrived, filling the shore with crowds of them.

But there is only this one boat in the entire dock.

Elizabeth asked worriedly, “There are murlocs among the enemies. Won’t they swim over and cause trouble for us?”

The king looked at the shore and saw that there were indeed a large number of Kou Tao murlocs, but none of them had any intention of going into the water.

“There’s something fishy,” he muttered. “The Kou Tao fishmen are quite good at swimming in the water. If Xiao Bai is so slow, they can easily catch up with us.”

Xiaobai: “Yes, I am slow at holding it. How about you hold it instead?”

Nini: “Will it last faster if I change to bear form?”

“A bear’s palm can’t hold this pole!” Xiaobai said loudly.

Wang was still thinking: “The reason why I didn’t catch up might be…”

Elizabeth: “The water is too dirty?”

King: “How is that possible! The Kuo-Toa aren’t afraid of these things! Maybe there’s something in the water that they’re afraid of. I remember there are many scary aquatic monsters in the Underdark, the most famous and terrifying of which is the Aboleth.”

Marica: “It would be very dangerous if we encountered Aboleths on a ship. Once the ship capsized, the dwarves would sink first, and the rest of the people would be toyed with by the Aboleths.”

Flint: “Don’t say such unlucky words! If I encounter an aboleth, I can use holy light to keep it away! Evil underground creatures are basically afraid of holy light, even the holy light of a drunkard like Kailin!”

Xiao Bai: “Did the shorty just slander Kailin again?”

“You’re a shorty, too!” yelled Flint.

Nini suddenly became alert and looked forward: “Wait a minute! Something is moving in the water!”

The king clenched the dragon-headed staff tightly. “We’re not really going to encounter an aboleth, are we? If that’s the case, while I turn into a dragon and deal with it, Xiaobai, you quickly row the boat and find a place to go ashore. We can’t fight an aboleth in the water.”

Elizabeth: “Is that monster really that scary?”

Wang: “It is very scary. It has psychic abilities. People with weak wills will be directly controlled by it. Only by using the magic of removing curse can it remove the control.”

Dwarf: “I have, I have. Since entering the Underdark, I have been preparing to remove the curse every day. After all, it is the Underdark.”

King: “The Aboleth can also use its tentacles to attack and cause the target to begin to deform. The surface of the body will be covered with a layer of mucus. You will be extremely painful, but you will be able to breathe underwater. The Aboleth will take you back to its lair and control you to make you its servant.”

Elizabeth shrugged. “It also has the habit of collecting beautiful things?”

Wang: “No, it simply needs slaves.”

Xiaobai: “Is Aboleth delicious?”

Everyone looked at Xiaobai together.

Xiaobai: “What’s the matter? Maybe it just looks ugly, but actually tastes very delicious! Does it look ugly?”

Wang: “Don’t you know what it looks like?”

“I haven’t seen it! I can’t read the monster encyclopedia compiled by you humans!” Xiaobai continued to yell.

Nini interrupted her, “Shh! That thing is coming towards us! It’s under the water!”

At this time, others also saw it – they couldn’t help but see it, after all, the lake surface suddenly bulged up for no reason, revealing a huge dorsal fin, cutting through the water like a warship.

The king couldn’t see the shape of the dorsal fin, so he raised the scepter in his hand. The moment the creature entered the range of the scepter’s light, he shouted, “Aboleth!”

The next moment, he jumped off the boat. A second later, the black dragon emerged from underwater behind the boat and turned around to pounce on the demon fish that was rushing towards him.

The Aboleth also rushed out of the water. It was an ugly creature that combined the characteristics of mollusks such as squids and fish. It had three eyes and a shark-like mouth at the front of its fish-shaped body.

There are four giant tentacles and several small tentacles on the fish’s body, and each tentacle is covered with suction cups.

In addition, the fish’s body was covered with terrible tumors, which had pushed apart its scales, hanging there like bunches of grapes. Many of the scales that had been pushed apart had already fallen off, and those that were still attached were in a precarious position in the wind and rain.

Wang transformed into a black dragon and flew in the sky. He took a deep breath and prepared to give this guy a bath with strong acid.

At this time, everyone “heard” the voice of the Aboleth: “Wait a minute, adventurer! We don’t necessarily need to fight to the death.”

Nini: “It’s telepathy! This ugly guy is talking to us!”

The next moment, Mo Yu fell back into the water.

The king hovered over the water, monitoring its movements.

Finally, the magic fish floated up near the boat, revealing its upper body. Two of its three eyes were looking at the boat, and one was staring at the flying dragon in the sky.

Magic Fish: “Who is the captain?”

Xiaobai raised his hand and pointed at the black dragon in the sky.

Magic fish: “Let’s talk.”

The black dragon circled at low altitude and replied in a powerful voice: “You just rushed over aggressively, it doesn’t look like you want to talk.”

Franka: “This guy is very evil, be careful.”

The demon fish then noticed Franka: “Oh, Furu is actually traveling with you. I haven’t seen Furu for a long time. About a thousand years.”

Giant Dragon: “Don’t change the subject. I haven’t settled the score with you for charging at me so aggressively just now!”

“This is called a show of force. You need to gain an advantage before negotiating.” The demon fish shook its tentacles. “But since there is a ninth-level spellcaster who can use Dragon Form III spells among you, this kind of threat is unnecessary.”

My goodness, this guy mistook Wang for a nine-ring wizard from the school of transfiguration.

The dragon immediately backed down: “A man of insight is a wise man. I accept your explanation. So, what do you want to talk about?”

Elizabeth carefully lowered her voice and asked Marika, “Is it okay? Making a deal with such an evil creature?”

Marika also lowered her voice: “The Aboleth is lawful evil just like the devil, so don’t worry, just be careful not to get tricked by it.”

Chapter 305: Lake Center Tower

The dragon naturally heard Marika and Elizabeth gossiping. It looked down at the demon fish from the air and said, “Let me guess. You want us to take care of the Mind Flayer and his minions on the shore.”

The ugly fish monster’s tentacles twitched. “That’s right. This underground lake is a pool of stagnant water. The flow was cut off many years ago due to crustal movement, and I was trapped here. Now the mind flayer has occupied the remains of the gray dwarves, and discharges wastewater mixed with fel energy into the water all day long. Look at me, I have suffered greatly from it!”

Dragon: “It’s not evil energy, it’s microorganisms. In my opinion, this lake has become eutrophic and a red tide is imminent.”

The magic fish blinked its three eyes one after another.

Xiao Bai on the boat muttered: “It seems confused. It is definitely confused.”
