He advanced quickly along the dark and damp cave.
Ma Wen's speed suddenly increased by a notch.
This was an area close to the surface, and there would often be human adventurers coming here. There were very few monsters that Ma Wen could not deal with.
In fact, that nest of Clawed Terror was the boss of this area.
After Ma Wen killed them, it would be hard to meet a more terrifying monster in this area.
So he ran as fast as he could.
The Dark Elf did not chase after him.
Perhaps it was because Ma Wen had stolen her scimitar. The drow warrior who had lost his weapon would definitely not dare to chase after him.
In short, Ma Wen was very lucky to escape from a hidden Dark Elf scout team.
After half a day, he finally reached the exit of the cave.
Fresh air came from outside the cave, and Ma Wen strode out. The glaring sunlight made him a little uncomfortable.
He closed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly opened them.
In front of him was an incomparably beautiful piece of fertile land!
Two winding rivers flowed from the north across the flat plains, and large amounts of farmland covered the corners of the plains.
At the foot of the mountain was a small town, and there were a few simple houses scattered around the edge of the farmland.
The town was bustling with people coming and going.
In the distance, there was a tall mountain that emitted white steam all day long.
That was a volcano.
Stony Mountain.
… …
Ma Wen quietly came out of the cave. There were many similar caves on the entire mountain.
Most of the large caves were guarded, and adventurers who wanted to enter seemed to have to pay a fee.
However, the cave that Ma Wen came out of was relatively remote, and no one was interested in it.
He slightly adjusted his state, and activated Camouflage.
This was the surface world, and although it was a land of exile that the Southern Alliance disdained, it was also the edge of human civilization.
Since the Rotten Plateau incident, Ma Wen learned that almost the entire Fernand continent had seen him, of course, including Stony Mountain.
In this era where the flow of information was relatively difficult, Ma Wen's popularity was off the charts.
If he didn't disguise himself, he would be recognized immediately.
For the sake of convenience, not only did he change his appearance, but he also took out the outfit he had worn in River Beach City.
Dual Blade Mask and a cloak.
Ma Wen hurried down the mountain, but when he tried to enter the small town, he encountered trouble.
"What? Protection money? "
Ma Wen was a little surprised as he looked at the two unfriendly men.
"Isn't this the three sisters' territory?"
The two burly men were tall and naked from the waist up. They held long blades in their hands and looked extremely ferocious.
Hearing Ma Wen's words, the two of them looked at each other. One of them frowned and said,
"You are one of the [Three Sisters]?"
…
In the quiet darkness, the ceiling of the cave emitted a faint glow.
They were gems with radiation properties.
Apart from some glowing plants, the entire dark underground relied on these gems as a source of light.
"… Ms. Tess, that's the result of this investigation."
"Apart from Rui Wen's group, which had an accident, the other groups have all completed their tasks perfectly."
A sweet voice reported.
It was a female dark elf with an equally hot figure. She looked at Rui Wen, who was also the leader of the scout team, with some schadenfreude.
This time, even if Ms. Tess likes you, there's no reason to protect you, right?
Who knew that Ms. Tess, who was high up and shrouded in a cloak, didn't pursue this point.
She said in a low voice, "A surface human was able to kill four Clawed Terror alone, including the mutated elite Clawed Terror. Such an expert may not be a match for the scout team. He chose to escape because he didn't want to be enemies with us. Rui Wen's decision not to pursue was correct. "
"That human is not the key. Anyway, we will launch a surprise attack before dawn tomorrow."
"But before that, we need to do one last reconnaissance."
"This time, I will only send the most elite experts, two at most."
Ms. Tess's eyes focused on the female dark elf who had previously reported and Rui Wen, "Are you two ready?"
The two nodded.
"Go to Lion Town and see if those humans are really vulnerable. Take a look at their defense. "
"Remember, the scroll of Advanced Polymorph I gave you can only last for six hours."
"You must be careful not to disturb the experts among the humans!"
"If you fail, you know what will happen to you!"
Ms. Tess's tone was clearly emphasized in the last sentence. Rui Wen and the other female drow lowered their heads deeply.
Tess's tone softened slightly.
"The [Underground Winter] came early, and we don't have enough food. Lord Clark has shown me the way. "
"Those stupid surface people will never think that we have united under Lord Clark's wings and found a new exit to the surface."
"They are doomed to perish, and we will be reborn."
In the midst of her seductive voice, countless scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the boundless darkness.
This was the characteristic of actively activating the [Eye of Fear]!
The densely packed figures had finished gathering in the open area.
The dark elves were only part of it. There were bugbears, kobolds, gnolls, swamp devils, and a small number of gray dwarves!
These creatures, who had always regarded each other as mortal enemies, finally united.
A disaster was quietly brewing.
…
The humans on the surface were still unaware of it.
Even Ma Wen, because of the two idiots in front of him, temporarily had no time to think about what the dark elf scouting team meant.
He realized that he was in trouble.
In his previous life, when he arrived at Stony Mountain, this place had been completely unified and formed a complete kingdom.
The Three Sisters of Destiny were the masters of this place. But now, it was not yet!
At this time, although the scenery of Stony Mountain was beautiful and had a rather fertile land, it was occupied by various forces!
This was a land of chaos, a place of exile for the civilized human kingdom!
For example, after the Southern Wizard Alliance expelled the Warlocks, they often exiled some people who had committed heinous crimes here.
Because of the natural obstacles of the White Clan and the Sage Desert, few people could cross the desert alone and return to the civilized world.
So over time, this place became a paradise for criminals.
The current Stony Mountain was still run amok by various forces. The Three Sisters organization had some reputation, enough to compete with the other two major forces — but this was also in recent years. This was all because the eldest of the three sisters, Jessica, had stimulated the power in her bloodline and became a terrifying Apocalyptic Warlock.
All in all, the "Three Sisters" was still an organization that was still developing.
Their base camp was at the City of Hope at the foot of Stony Mountain, not this small town called Lion.
In fact, this town was currently controlled by an organization called Golden Lion.
This place was close to the underground and was a gathering place for adventurers. The town was a mix of good and bad people, but under the management of Golden Lion, the order was not bad.
It was fine as long as they did not go out at night.
The town welcomed all consumers and adventurers, but only one kind of people were not welcome — the Three Sisters.
Therefore, when Marvin subconsciously said that sentence, the gazes of the people around him immediately changed.
Although the two big men did not directly make a move, soon a group of people rushed out of the town!
These people's equipment was very simple, but they came aggressively. One of them, a tall and thin man with a lame leg, stared coldly at Ma Wen.
"If you want to cause trouble, I advise you to go somewhere else. Lion Town does not welcome anyone from the Three Sisters. "
Ma Wen smiled bitterly to himself, but replied calmly: "I am not from the Three Sisters, I am just a traveler passing by."
"I want to go to town to resupply, can't I?"
The expert man looked Ma Wen up and down and warned: "It better be like this!"
"If you are a spy sent by the Three Sisters, our boss will smash you into a meat patty."
"If you want to enter the town, you can, but you must pay the protection fee."
"Otherwise …"
Ding dong!
With a crisp sound, two silver coins were directly thrown out by Ma Wen.
"Enough?" Ma Wen asked in a deep voice.
The lame man grabbed the two silver coins and said coldly: "Yes."
With that, his men immediately made way for him. Ma Wen calmly walked in.
"Find two people and follow him."
"Report to me at any time."
The lame man whispered to his men.
…
The day time in Stony Mountain was very short.
Ma Wen had just entered Lion Town, and not long after he strolled around, the sky darkened.
As for the two followers behind him, he simply ignored them.
After all, he was now a Grade 4 expert. Unless a Legend or the Three Sisters mobilized their army, Ma Wen would not be afraid of anything.
In a place like Lion Town, the army was made up of messy bandits without any discipline to speak of.
Ma Wen knew that it would be difficult for him to fight his way in and out, but it was not a problem for him to escape safely.
Lion Town was located at the edge of Stony Mountain, but it was still quite lively.
What Ma Wen needed to do was to find information about the Order Kindling as soon as possible.
For this, he strolled around the business district for a while.
Finally, he found a relatively prosperous tavern and went in.
Ma Wen sat at the bar for a while and ordered a glass of the famous local fruit wine. However, the fruit wine was rather sour, and Ma Wen lost interest after a sip.
He sat there, but his eyes involuntarily sized up the people coming and going in the tavern.
At this moment, a tempting voice sounded in his ears:
"Can you buy me a drink?"
A blonde, blue-eyed, and hot woman.
She was wearing revealing clothes, and her pair of XXXXX constantly swayed in front of Ma Wen's eyes, which was quite a visual impact.
Ma Wen shrugged, flicked a few silver coins, and threw them on the bar.
"Even ten glasses."
