Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 51 The Taste of Dragon
Nemesis was startled. The Defo family was destroyed? Who could destroy a family headed by a high-ranking priest?

"It was done by the Duguiden family, the original eighth family of Menzoberranzan. They took advantage of the time when the elite soldiers of the Difo family invaded the city of Kuragromsh to launch an assassination."

"The matron of the Defo family was attacked and killed by the matron Malice of the Duguiden family, and the rest of the family died tragically. Now the Duguiden family has replaced Defo as the new third family under the witness of the matron of the first family, Banrui."

Nemesis sucked in a breath of cold air. As expected of a race that regarded conspiracy and trickery as a traditional virtue, this backstab was really cool.

He suddenly had a bad feeling, so he asked, "Then the Devo family is destroyed. What are Menzoberranzan's plans for the central and northern regions?"

Clangedin said with a sad face: "The First Family and the Third Family formed an alliance and united the armies of the two families to march to the central and northern regions."

"The city of Kuragrommash has fallen."

Everyone in the nest fell silent. The dark elf's iron hooves were like sharp blades, warning the survivors not to make any sound.

"The dark elves are invincible. The fall of the central and northern regions is inevitable. Give up the goblin city for now and move all the followers back to the cold iron veins."

Nemesis analyzed the situation and issued orders.

The cold iron ore veins are very hidden. In the interconnected terrain of the Underdark, as long as the two passages leading to the outside world are not discovered, this place cannot be found.

The Underdark is facing its most turbulent moment right now and is no longer suitable for the growth of underage dragons.

“It’s time to return to the surface.”

On the ground, the sky was gray as rain, and the leafless skeletons of old elms and oaks rustled in the strong wind.

The mammals in the forest retreated to their dens; they didn't like the feeling of their fur getting wet.

But even though the animals sensed the bad weather, some people still faced the challenge.

In the forest, four figures were moving forward in the pouring rain and strong wind.

"Marlo! You idiot, is this what you mean by it won't rain? You are the most rubbish wizard I have ever seen!"

A tall male tabby man with yellow and black fur all over his body was yelling and cursing angrily.

The object of his insults, the thin man in a black robe with pale skin, was not to be outdone.

"Please! I'm a prophecy wizard, not a weather forecast wizard! You asked me to predict the weather, and I did, so what! Who says predictions will always be correct?"

The tabby cat man tugged at his cloak uncomfortably. He hated the feeling of his beautiful fur being wet by the rain.

"My carefully groomed hair is all messed up! It's awful!"

"It's all your fault, Colette! I told you not to rush to leave today. It would be the same if we come tomorrow!"

The tabby cat man complained to another member of the team, a blonde girl wearing cloth armor. Her graceful figure was hidden under the armor, and she had a sharp magic sword on her waist.

The girl Qingye frowned with an indifferent face and ignored it. This was indeed her suggestion, and she also had her own difficulties that she was unable to express.

"It's so noisy! Maozizi! I warn you, if you keep complaining, I will throw away your cat toy stick when I get home!"

The tabby man hissed threateningly like a cat and said angrily, "Don't call me Furry! I have a human name now, Oliver! Damn Brittany, you are as rude as your rude Tiefling brethren!"

The last member, a tall female tiefling with amazing muscles and fat, red skin, and horns on both heads, rolled her eyes impatiently and ignored the accusation of the spotted cat man.

The blonde girl Colette suddenly stopped and put her fingers to her mouth, making a "hushing" sound.

Everyone fell silent, even the most irritable tabby man Maozizi, oh no, Oliver became silent, his claws extended with ten extremely sharp nails, and the hair on his body stood up.

The sky became dark, and heavy rain poured down. The tiny stars hanging high in the sky were covered by dark clouds, and only the moon was still stubbornly emitting tiny glimmers. In the darkness, a few ghostly green will-o'-the-wisp lights lit up in the depths of the forest. They wandered in the darkness, then approached little by little until the outlines hidden in the darkness were vaguely revealed.

"It's a dire wolf." Colette said seriously.

The prophecy wizard Maro was frantically chanting the spell, and the moment the spell was formed, he was given the ability to see through the darkness.

"Twelve and thirteen dire wolves!" Marlowe said, his voice trembling.

Brittany whispered in a breathy voice, "I'll count to 321, and we'll run."

"3,"

"2,"

"run!"

With a whoosh, the three of them started running away, leaving only Marro, who was stunned for a moment, then picked up the edge of his black robe and ran wildly.

"We agreed to count to 1!!!"

The dots of green light in the darkness saw their prey start to escape and instantly became violent. More than 20 huge and ferocious wolves rushed out from the darkness and started a life-threatening chase.

"No, I can't run anymore!"

Marlo was breathing heavily, the smell of blood rising into his nostrils, his steps becoming slower and slower until he tripped over a stone and fell heavily to the ground.

"I've told you to exercise a long time ago!"

Brittany, who was running in front of him, sighed, turned around, lifted him up, carried him on her back and continued running.

The ferocious wolf was moving at an extremely fast speed, and was getting closer and closer to them. It was foreseeable that they would be eaten by the wolf in the near future.

"Look, there's a tower! It's the wizard tower!" Maro leaned on Brittany's back and pointed excitedly at a place not far away.

Outside the bushes, a dilapidated wizard tower stood quietly in the dark storm.

"Hold on, run to that tower, and use positional warfare to hold the tower gate and fight them!" Colette's eyes lit up and she immediately gave the order.

Twenty-three dire wolves might be a lot, but relying on the narrow tower gate defense, they would only face one or two at a time.

Wolves are creatures that are very sensitive to losses. As long as a few of their members die and they realize that they are not easy to mess with, they will most likely retreat.

The four of them rushed towards the tower with all their might. They immediately surpassed the ferocious wolf in speed and finally escaped into the tower.

Brittany slammed the shabby wooden door shut, blocking out the strong wind and heavy rain from the outside world, leaving only darkness.

What they don't know is that.

The wolves looked at where they were running to, stopped at the edge of the bushes, and stood in the darkness, watching their receding figures.

There was no chasing, just quietly watching the prey leave from afar, with unwillingness in his dark green pupils.

The dire wolves had the most sensitive noses, and they smelled it, that faint scent, although not as strong as usual, but they smelled it.

The king of monsters,
The smell of dragon.
