Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 157 The Rescue of the Murloc

"Mind your bad mouth!" Sylvia was so disappointed that she wanted to slap Driver in the face, but she accidentally agitated her wound and fell down again.

"Protective energy cannot be effective against a group of people," Victoria sighed, "It seems that our journey has come to an end here."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Sera's eyes widened, "We may die, but definitely not today!"

The barbarian used up all his remaining strength and swung the Canglan Grip desperately: "Move, move!"

"Isn't your name 'Canglan'? Hurry up and get some water to put out that fireball - quickly!"

However, the Grip of the Blue Waves was only a sword after all, not a wish-granting machine like the Holy Grail. No matter how Sera tried, there were still only two kinds of water here: sweat and blood.

No matter which one it is, it is probably not enough to counter the fireball that is obviously magical.

At this moment, Luo Wei was rolling the huge fireball closer and closer, and Ron and others had no effective means to stop it. Just when they were at the end of their rope, a loud noise suddenly came from the cave entrance, followed by a large amount of river water pouring in.

The river water seemed to have its own will. It bypassed Ron and others, formed a water wall in front of them, and rushed straight towards Luo Wei's fireball!

"Ah-"

A large amount of white mist rose up from the collision of the flames and the river water, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes. Ron could only barely see that in the mist, a figure with a huge fish head was looming, holding a trident and walking on the waves!

"You are..." Ron looked at the sudden reinforcements in surprise, "Devin?"

"Devin Booker!" A familiar, sonorous answer rang out from the mist. "We sensed the presence of evil elements here, so we came here to support you!"

The trident in the triton's hand seemed alive, tumbling up and down between water and fire. Luo Wei seemed to have some mental problems, and she was a little crazy. Although her strength was much stronger than when Ron first met her, she was still no match for Devin Booker.

This holy warrior has almost perfectly integrated his martial arts, spells and racial talents. Every time he swings the weapon in his hand, Luo Wei has to face not only the weapon, but also the waves that follow and the Holy Slash with dazzling brilliance!
"Evacuate here immediately!" Devin Booker waved his trident, "A portal to the elemental plane has been opened here! You are injured, you should retreat quickly!"

"Then what are you going to do?" Ron couldn't help but blurt out, "You can't handle it alone?"

"This is my duty! Even if I die, I will have no regrets!" The conch man let out a long roar, and the river water outside rolled into the cave as if it was boiling.

But this time it was not Devin Booker's power. The river water rushed straight towards Ron and others, and when it was about to pounce on them, it turned into three huge elemental creatures wearing plate armor!
“Water Element Followers!” Sylvia gritted her teeth and called out several Nighthounds again. “Benefactor, we must evacuate quickly. This place is becoming more and more dangerous!”

These Elemental Followers are magically summoned elementals bound within a ritually processed suit of plate armor. In this form, they have forgotten their former existence as free elementals and now exist only to follow the orders of their creators.

This means that there must be a more powerful existence behind them! They can't handle it in their current state!
"Hahahaha," Richthofen laughed a series of laughs from his throat. "It's no use. He has already found you. You can't leave. You all must stay and be buried with me!"

As if to prove her words, Ron and the others were struggling to get up when several complex magic circles appeared under their feet. The black and purple light immediately enveloped everyone. "Wait, this is not right--" A magic circle also appeared under Richthofen's feet. She was so shocked that she didn't have time to shout out before her figure disappeared instantly.

Ron had no time to observe others. The magic circle under his feet was also shining brightly. His eyes went dark and he lost consciousness in an instant.

……

In the distance, in the ruins of Green Swamp Town deep in the Land of Delusion, a golden dragon stopped teaching the black dragon Exuri. His head was slightly raised. On the treetop, a canary with gorgeous feathers flew quietly over and flew away quietly without leaving any trace.

Except for the golden dragon, no other creature noticed its existence.

"They actually met, what a blessing in disguise..." Jin Long muttered, "I thought they could meet him under better circumstances, so their chances of winning would be better."

"But it's better this way. Civilization has not yet been reestablished on this land, and his fantasy is far from being fulfilled. Since both sides are in such a hurry, the outcome is still unknown."

"Teacher, what are you mumbling about?" The young black dragon looked up in confusion, "You are talking in riddles again."

“What a riddle.” The golden dragon raised his claws and flipped the young dragon to the ground. Magic runes emerged from his hands and were engraved on Exuri’s belly without a trace. “How dare you, little guy, disrespect me? I’ll punish you by making you copy the original text three hundred times!”

He spread his magnificent wings and said, "Behave yourself and don't run around. I'll come to check in a few days!"

"You haven't finished your lesson yet..." Aik'Zuri whimpered in grievance, and under the shadow of the flying golden dragon, he slipped back to his nest full of complaints and went back to copy the spell texts.

……

"Ivy, Driver..." Ron had a nightmare. He dreamed that he returned to the time when he first traveled through time, but he didn't recognize the ownership of the herbs in the goblin's nest at all, and the goblins served them to the table as if they were strangers.

But when he sat up in a cold sweat, he found that this was not the goblin's nest that was short of water and food. He had been teleported by an unknown magic circle to...

Ron took out a spoon from his pocket, bent it, and used light magic to illuminate the surrounding environment.

This is a closed stone chamber with stone walls on all six sides. There are no gaps at all, let alone light coming in.

He stood up slowly, holding a spoon in one hand to light up, while touching the stone wall of the ceiling to prevent hitting his head; with the other hand he kept groping around, trying to find some mechanism or possible cracks.

Then he heard a cold snort from below: "Your light technique is quite unique."
