"careful!"

In a flash, the tall and thin druid turned into a long-armed ape.

His figure suddenly became taller, and his ape arms swung, hitting the animated trees with a clanging sound.

"V!"

Calling to his iron guard, Carl stepped back half a body, and the stagnant chainsaw roared again.

Aiming at the attacking animated trees, Carl stepped forward and used a chainsaw.

The teeth of the saw collided with the wood fibers, and the sound of the electric saw suddenly became a little different.

The teeth of the saw were crisscrossed, a section of the tree was cut in half, and thick green mucus flowed out from the trunk of the tree.

Seeing this thing, Carl stepped back nervously.

And the green slime, just like before, quickly turned into bubbles in the rain that could corrode metal objects, as if it had intelligence and wanted to deal with Carl.

The druid was still struggling with those animated trees, but this guy was so weak that it looked like he was practicing Tai Chi with those tree monsters.

"Don't fight anymore! Go!"

Using V to grab the Druid, Carl controlled V and made him throw himself and the Druid out.

The number of activated trees around is increasing little by little, and it is foreseeable that more and more strange creatures will appear in the future.

"Where to go next?"

In the rain, the druid asked anxiously.

"Let's go and copy the territory of the Dragon Mark Family first!"

Although he thought that the dwarfs were almost all dead, Carl still held on to a glimmer of hope.

If there really is a dragonmarked dwarf who survives, things will become much simpler.

But the plot of Deus Ex Machina must also conform to general rules and logic.

So naturally, Carl and the Druid did not find any survivors at the target location.

"Let this place be our base for now."

Looking at the empty building, Carl turned and suggested to the druid.

Considering that the other party was the Son of Winter, Carl did not dare to take him back to the B&B he rented.

Even though the relationship between the two is quite harmonious now, there is no guarantee that the other party will not turn against each other at any time.

"Okay! I'll rest here for a while. Do you have anything to eat?"

Without doubting whether Carl would give him poisoned food, the druid took the food Carl handed over and started eating.

This behavior made Carl feel a little embarrassed.

But Carl thought again, druids often live in the wild and have already mastered the skills to identify poisons, so he thought that they just didn't use the poison detection method openly.

But no matter what, Carl has gained his first teammate who can cooperate with him.

Coming to the window, Carl looked at the animated trees entangled like a group of snakes on the ground in the distance, and felt a little heavy.

The whole storm is becoming more and more dangerous as time goes by.

Karl felt that this was also the reason why the Lich Queen remained silent.

Even if she didn't take action, these derived monsters would be enough to cause trouble for the professionals on the island.

"Why do you think the Lich Queen did this?"

Downstairs, V, whose part of his body was corroded by green bubbles, successfully returned.

Carl looked at the druid, trying to find inspiration in his words.

"Perhaps it is to strike at the sanctity of the Dragon Mark Family in certain areas? The Gods of Destiny and the Six Dark Gods cannot be touched. This is also where their sanctity lies. Gods do not bleed."

For players, the difference between having a health bar and not having a health bar is definitely not just the broken health bar.

Having a health bar means being able to kill.

But the more you try, the more you lose your awe.

Over time, the Dragon Mark Family will become less "mysterious" in the eyes of ordinary people.

This is something that all countries would like to see.

If the dragon pattern was not extremely important to the operation of the entire Eberron world, similar plans might have been implemented in various countries long ago.

The druid's words made Carl look at him with a new respect. He originally thought that this guy was the type who didn't pay attention to the international situation, but he didn't expect that he could talk so well.

"Anyway, let's continue to try to escape from the storm according to my previous idea."

At this moment, Carl's mood should be very similar to that of the fugitives in "The Three-Body Problem".

Soon, V floated next to Carl.

Using the hand tool characteristics to make a machine tool, Carl began to rub the parts on the spot and replaced them for V.

When he finished all this, a long-lost feeling of spiritual overflowing surged into Carl’s heart.

"Um, friend, my spirituality seems to be replenished. I'm going to go next door to improve my spiritual core."

After saying hello to the other party, Carl brought V to the next door.

After taking off his power armor, Carl sat cross-legged and shifted his consciousness to the deeper depths of his soul.

In the soul, two professional spiritual cores are floating.

Invisible spirituality filled the depths of the soul, and when Carl manipulated them to flow toward the spiritual core of the mechanic, with an indescribable feeling, Carl's soul strength was enhanced again.

Immediately afterwards, an unfamiliar feeling of dizziness came over me.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself tied to a stone platform.

V fell to the ground paralyzed, and the tall and thin druid was looking at him with a perverted and fanatical look.

"I never thought you were the holder of the dragon mark! I really found a treasure!"

To Carl's surprise, the tall and thin druid's voice turned into a charming female voice.

After seeing Carl's surprised expression, the druid's appearance began to change, and eventually turned into a slim half-elf woman.

"Let me introduce myself again, Mithras, the 10th level druid of the Sons of Winter."

While introducing herself, Mitris untied the linen robe on her body with her fingers.

Her fair and smooth skin formed a sharp contrast with the rough fabric, and a cluster of lines emitting blue fluorescence was entrenched at the position of her heart.

As she stepped forward, the stripes began to twist, as if alive.

"Dragon pattern?"

Although he didn't know much about dragon patterns, as the holder of a dragon pattern, Carl still knew the basic characteristics of the dragon pattern.

"Tsk! Brother, you are really knowledgeable. Yes, this is indeed a dragon pattern, and..."

When it came to the key point, Mitris stretched out her voice, then reached out and grabbed Carl.

"Tsk tsk, that's quite interesting!"

"What are you going to do? We are supposed to be partners, right? Why are you attacking me?!"

Although he said this, what Carl really cared about was how this guy made him pass out unconscious.

He had already prepared himself to fall out with the other party at any time, but he still failed now.

"It's simple, because I determined one thing not long ago."

Pinching the place where her dragon pattern appeared, Mitris sat astride Carl, then leaned over and looked at him with a playful expression.

"My dragon mark seems to be the legendary dragon mark of death."

The gentle breath hit Karl's face as he spoke. Just looking at the postures and movements of the two, those who didn't know would think they were flirting, but facing such a beauty, Karl's heart sank to the bottom at this moment.
