My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 222 - 154: Treasure Is Not as Important as Brotherhood_2
In the current environment.
Archer ran off alone to a distance of several dozen meters, what’s the use.
Not only was he still within the encirclement of the Gray Dwarves, but he also broke away from the original trio huddle.
And at this moment.
The three of them realized who was behind the mischief.
This person was none other than——
Their captain, nicknamed ’Dawn Dual Blades’, Freddy!
"Freddy! Damn you!" The Half-Orc Malok roared.
But at this moment, an invisible pressure descended from the sky....
....
On the other side.
Laisa was pacing back and forth anxiously.
Although she was under the protection of a phantom, the few towering flames in Dark Furnace City were extremely conspicuous, like torches in the night.
Moreover, as time went on, she clearly felt that the chaotic atmosphere of Dark Furnace City seemed to be spreading towards the area she was in.
This unstable chaotic atmosphere was like a wave, sweeping towards her from afar.
"What is going on?"
"How did such a commotion get stirred up?"
Laisa murmured to herself.
At this moment, she was also weighing in her heart whether to immediately enter Dark Furnace City to help.
The problem was, not to mention she had no armor to wear, even if she did, facing a grand and unfamiliar Exotic Race city, where would she go to find Raine and Sulfur Vine?
As Laisa worried in her heart.
Suddenly!
Her pupils shrank because she saw a Gray Dwarf charging straight toward her location.
"Wait, it seems like...."
Laisa’s tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and a joyful expression appeared on her face.
Looking at Raine, who was unscathed and whose linen clothes were even spotless, Laisa blinked her beautiful eyes in disbelief and murmured:
"This is unbelievable...."
"You stirred up such a big commotion but didn’t engage with the Gray Dwarves at all?"
At this point, Sulfur Vine quickly transformed from its gray rat form into a human shape, praising Raine.
"Laisa, you can’t imagine how amazing Mr. Rein is!"
"Walking all the way here felt like coming home."
"Engage? Of course we did." Raine said as he quickly donned the Courage Set, "Quick, Laisa get ready, we must leave immediately."
"Laisa, do you remember the adventurer squad we encountered at the beginning?"
"Turns out they were going to steal an artifact the Gray Dwarves valued greatly. The big commotion was caused by them."
Holding the Forbidden Magic Helmet, Sulfur Vine was clearly excited, talking significantly more than usual.
"The Gray Dwarves will soon commence a sweeping search here, we must go quickly." Raine urged again.
"Hmm, we’ll talk later."
"Go!"
A moment later, the trio quickly left in the direction they had come from.
....
Meanwhile.
Reid, the Wanderer of the Dawn Dual Blades squad, had just rushed out of Dark Furnace City.
But at this moment, he was not in good shape.
Blood was seeping from the corners of his mouth, several ribs were fractured, and the magic equipment ’Penetrator Cloak’ on him had a few large holes pierced through it from the recent battle.
The reinforced invisibility effect was naturally greatly weakened too.
This made his retreat come with even greater risks.
The Gray Dwarf elite warriors, whom he could previously slip past unnoticed, now he dared not get too close to.
It wasn’t just due to the failure of a piece of magic equipment.
His bloody scent also contributed, affecting and weakening the invisibility effect.
The cave spiders, the size of a millstone, chasing closely behind him weren’t the most troublesome.
After all, with the ’Hovering Boots’, his running hardly caused any vibrations on the ground, making it extremely difficult for the vibration-sensitive cave spiders to track his trail.
This was something the squad had carefully studied from the beginning.
But the problem was, he also had a kind of creature known as shadow hound encountered for the first time behind him.
This creature, manipulated by individual Gray Dwarf priests, not only had a sensitive dog’s sense of smell but also had non-physical features similar to elemental monsters.
Furthermore, their high speed had contributed to many of the injuries on his body.
His multiple counterattacks, however, weren’t very effective.
The opponent, although injured, was lightly hurt and still kept close pursuit.
The choice facing him now was——’Should I follow the original plan to keep the artifact for myself and leave? Or should I regroup with the team for the time being?’
If he weren’t injured.
If the reinforced invisibility of the ’Penetrator Cloak’ hadn’t been damaged.
There’s no doubt.
He would definitely have kept the artifact and left alone.
Reid felt confident he could evade multiple pursuers from the Gray Dwarves.
He also felt confident that he could avoid the myriad dangers of the Underdark alone, return to the Surface, and make a huge fortune.
But at the moment, he didn’t have much confidence to achieve any of the above.
Yet, if he went to the rally point to regroup with his team.
Although safety would be greatly enhanced, Reid was also well aware that according to his captain’s personality, he would be made to hand over the suitcase model right away.
In other words.
To get the artifact back later, there would only be one way, and that was to steal it.
But trying to steal something from a dual swordsman with equally excellent perception and a class level as high as level seven, the difficulty doesn’t need much explanation.
Moreover, if caught on the spot....there would be no room for maneuver!
Reid, frowning tightly, thought for a moment and sighed.
’Damn! Better meet up with the team first!’
’Otherwise, I fear I won’t be able to make it back to the Surface alive alone!’
