The Master’s Friendship Rules
Page 271
Screams came from inside the door.
Marika kept going.
The king and Elizabeth rode Little White past the door and looked inside curiously, just as a gray dwarf with flames all over his body rushed out.
Xiaobai slapped the gray dwarf to the ground and kicked him aside.
Then the group passed through the door one by one.
There was a T-shaped intersection ahead, and Wang shouted to Marika who had arrived at the intersection: “Go right!”
Marika: “It won’t work!”
The next moment a mixed force of gray dwarves and kuo-toa rushed out from the right.
Marika knocked down several murlocs with her throwing knives, but it failed to delay the enemies at all, so she could only move left and out of the king’s sight.
The king patted Elizabeth’s belly in his arms: “Fireball!”
This time Elizabeth did not crush the dung ball, but she successfully threw out a fireball as big as a washbasin.
The blast caused Xiaobai to brake again.
Elizabeth: “I don’t have any fireballs left! I’ve thrown them all!”
Wang: “Okay. Leave the rest to me!”
At this moment, a shocking scene appeared: the gray dwarf with fire on his body let out a shrill scream and continued to rush towards the rescue team!
Nini’s arrows accurately shot into the gaps on the gray dwarves’ helmets, piercing their brains through their eye sockets.
These gray dwarves, covered in flames, fell down and turned into a ball of blazing fire.
Elizabeth: “Why are only the gray dwarves rushing towards us under fire?”
King: “Kou Tao fishmen are particularly afraid of fire. Once they catch fire, they can’t get up.”
After saying that, he patted Xiaobai hard and said, “Hurry up! Before the road is blocked by new enemies!”
Xiaobai started running again, stepping on all kinds of minced meat without any hesitation.
Nini at the back jumped forward lightly among the large number of “fragments” created by the fireball.
As Franka floated, she plucked the lute, playing a light melody that was not suitable for the current scene.
The last barbarian carried the dwarf on his back and walked while keeping a vigilant eye on the back.
Marika, who had just been forced to retreat, appeared at the intersection again: “I feel like there are still many enemies on the right! How about we switch to the left!”
Wang: “Okay, we can evacuate the ruins on the left. We are using up a lot of mana right now. Let’s retreat and regroup and come back tomorrow!”
Mallika turned around immediately.
Xiaobai also arrived at the intersection, turned with a tailspin, and ran to the left.
When Xiaobai swung his tail, Wang held Elizabeth’s waist tightly. Her upper body was thrown out due to inertia, and it even gave people the feeling that she was about to break through the shackles of the robe.
Marika, who was leading the way, had just walked a short distance when a group of Kou Tao fishmen appeared in front of them.
Marika’s complaints came on the wind: “How many slaves does this mind flayer have!”
Franka: “There are always thousands!”
Elizabeth: That’s too much!
Marika decided that she couldn’t fight the Kou Tao fishman head-on, so she turned and rushed into the fork in the road on the right.
Xiaobai followed her closely.
As soon as the group turned to the fork in the road, the fishman blocked the intersection behind them and chased after them, howling.
Fortunately, the fishman doesn’t move very fast.
After running a few steps, the gray dwarf also joined the pursuit team, but because the gray dwarf’s movement speed was the same as that of the dwarf, the fishman’s pursuit speed was also slowed down.
Wang frowned, “Something is wrong. Why hasn’t anyone blocked us in front? It feels like they are trying to lure us in! Marika! Don’t run next time. Let’s go in the direction of the enemy!”
Elizabeth: “Malika is a rogue! You let him break through the middle of the enemy group?”
King: “He was once a member of the Drow’s Royal Guard. Have you forgotten?”
As soon as the words fell, Marika in front pulled out two long swords from the dimensional bag and held them in her hands, one on the left and one on the right.
Chapter 303: Underground Lake
Marika brandished her two swords and charged into the enemy group.
With the king’s eyesight, he could only see the flying limbs, like waves.
Elizabeth was shocked: “Marika still has this ability?”
Wang: “You didn’t know this for all these years?”
Elizabeth was shocked. “I… I know she’s an excellent rogue, but… she’s never drawn a long sword before. We need to find another vanguard.”
Wang: “Our team has no shortage of vanguards, but she is the only rogue who can dismantle traps and lead reconnaissance. However, two fists cannot beat four hands, we have to go up and support her, Xiaobai, go!”
Xiaobai roared and rushed forward, diving into the enemy’s formation that was about to surround Marika.
The group of enemies originally planned to surround Marika and attack her from behind, but Xiaobai sneaked up behind them.
As Xiaobai rushed into the enemy camp, Wang held a magic wand in his hand and hit the enemy’s head desperately.
He was wearing ogre power gloves, and a blow from his stick was incredibly powerful. A direct hit on the head could crack it open, and a hit on the shoulder could directly cripple one of his arms.
Elizabeth had nothing in her hands to hit anyone with, and the king wanted her to save her spells, so she could only spit at the enemy.
Nini caught up with him in a quick step, stepped on the half of the saddle behind Wang’s buttocks, and raised her hand to shoot arrows continuously.
Franka floated behind her, playing the lute.
The last barbarian actually had few enemies left, so he had more free time carrying the dwarf.
After charging past the enemy group, Marika continued to lead the way.
Wang: “There is an exit further ahead. I don’t know if the door is closed. Let’s rush out from there.”
Marika: “Even if it’s closed, I can pry it open.”
Wang: “Then you are so strong.”
Suddenly Marika slammed on the brakes and grabbed the collar of Xiaobai who was running very fast.
The king and Elizabeth were nearly thrown out, but luckily the king’s foot was stuck in the stirrup, thus avoiding a tragedy.
Nini flew out, but the elf reacted quickly and caught Xiaobai’s tail in the blink of an eye.
Xiaobai cried out in pain and reflexively swung his tail, throwing Nini back.
But Nini had already entered the range of the trap, and the sudden lightning hit her feet.
Nini also screamed.
Flint: “Are you hurt? I’m here!”
In order to save time, Gaotrik threw the dwarf directly over, and it hit the ground near Nini with a thud.
Flint: “Kaelin’s belly button! Barbarian, can you be gentle with me!”
“Sorry,” Gotrek said, holding his axe tightly and guarding behind him.
After Wang was sure that Nini would be properly treated, he turned to look at Marika who was checking the ground: “Is it a trap?”
“Yes, it’s a very dangerous trap. If I’m not mistaken, it can be triggered five or six times, and it will completely destroy any living creature that tries to pass through this space. It’s difficult to dismantle, and you’ll need at least half an hour.”
Gotrek: “King!”
Nini: “The pursuers are coming soon, and there are a lot of them.”
The king acted decisively, helped Elizabeth down from the saddle, and then got down himself.
“Xiaobai, turn into an animal and step over it.”
Xiaobai let out a cry, and went forward without hesitation, but was immediately electrocuted back.
She changed back to her original form, cast a rejuvenation spell on herself, and then turned into a bear and tried to rush forward, but Gotrek held her back: “I’ll do it.”
Wang frowned: “Xiaobai’s animal form can block most of the damage. You can’t take it directly, right? Look, Nini was just touched by her feet and that’s it!”
Gotrek smiled and said, “I am a barbarian.”
After saying this, he roared without warning, shocking everyone and making them shrink their necks.
A layer of red light enveloped the barbarian’s entire body.
The king even felt that the barbarians seemed to have grown bigger.
Then the barbarian stepped into the trap with slow but firm steps.
The first wave of electric shock came, hitting the barbarian’s iron muscles. The barbarian seemed not to feel the shock, and continued to move forward with a roar!
With the second wave of electric shock, the barbarian’s muscles began to tense up, and even smoke began to rise.
The third wave of electric shock froze the barbarian’s advancing figure, and his left knee was bent, forcing him to kneel on one knee.
Elizabeth exclaimed, “Is it all right?”
Flint: “Kaelin’s up there!”
The dwarf held up the holy symbol and used Cailin’s name to guide positive energy to heal Gotrek.
At this moment, Xiaobai’s polar bear rushed into the trap again, attracting the fourth wave of electric shock to himself!
Suddenly, the electric shock stopped!
Marika: “It’s over! The trap has run out of energy, go!”
Flint rushed towards Gotrek and began to cast Cure Serious Wounds, pressing his right hand wrapped in light onto the barbarian, then turned and shouted to the king, “I used up a fourth-level spell!”
As the captain, the king must consider the team’s spell reserves and plan the next battle.
The dwarf is indeed an old adventurer who has been adventuring for a long time. He is quite reliable in this regard. Newbies like Elizabeth have never considered reporting their spell consumption. They only know to report when they have used up all their spell slots.
However, Elizabeth knew few spells, so the king only had to count how many fireballs she threw, which was not very troublesome.
After the dwarf finished the treatment, he called to Nini: “Come here, Long Ear! Help me move him to Xiaobai!”
