"Let's go, who knows what might happen next. Let's go back first."

Although Carl had contributed greatly to this turmoil, he knew that his purpose in coming to Xen'drik was to search for treasure, and it was not appropriate for him to get too deeply involved in the current affairs.

However, just as the three were about to leave on their magic motorcycles, the excited people actually wanted to go to the headquarters of the Storm Council and take back everything that had been exploited by the other side in the past.

The emotions of madness and anger infected most of the people present, and Carl even saw a few vendors joining the team.

But Carl was still calm, so he still prepared to take Hope and Scorpion back to the base.

Fortunately, the direction of the underground ruins was exactly opposite to the location of the Storm Council headquarters, so Carl and the other two were able to barely cross it in the crowd.

"These people are really crazy. Back then, they had to put on a smile when they saw a Storm Council lackey on the street, but now they dare to knock on the door."

Looking back at the crowd going away, Scorpion sighed that life is unpredictable.

Carl was about to answer, but suddenly, a cloud of mist fell rapidly from the distant sky.

He was very familiar with this scene. Not long ago, a druid from the Son of Winter tried to use this trick to take away the bandits who wanted to rob his base.

'So, the younger one is killed and the older one comes?'

With this thought in mind, Carl activated his psychic power and transmitted his words to Hope and Scorpion through psychic power.

"You guys leave first. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you after I summon the mecha!"

Hope and Scorpion looked at each other, and Scorpion immediately turned the handle, increasing the power and rushing through the clouds.

Hope hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to trust Carl, so he increased his power and rushed forward.

"What a calm young man, to be able to keep calm in such a situation. To be honest, I am very optimistic about you. If you were a druid, I would definitely take you in as my apprentice."

As the clouds solidified again, the druid who suddenly appeared revealed his true form.

He was the culprit who used artificial dragon crystal and green rain virus to cause heavy casualties among the civilians in Storm Bay. He was a level 16 druid.

"Are you the master or elder of the druid from before? I really can't accept your praise for being able to hand over a guy like that."

After retorting to the other party, Carl activated his special ability and summoned the Megatron mecha.

"Ha! That guy is not my apprentice, but he joined the Sons of Winter halfway through. I have always felt that he is a guy with great ambitions but little talent.

Don't worry, I'm not here to avenge him.

Are you interested in becoming the future ruler of Storm Bay? After observing for so long, I feel that you are the most suitable child! "

If the dead druid knew that the senior in front of him not only did not avenge him, but instead wanted to make the person who killed his enemy the new lord of Storm Bay, I wonder what he would think. He might even turn into an undead.

"Humph! I was powerless to save so many people when you were killing them, but now I may be able to avenge them!"

Ignoring the other party's conditions, the eyes of the Megatron mecha emitted a red light, then it clenched its two iron fists and jumped high, hitting the druid opposite with its double hammers.

But that druid was no pushover either. His experience of fighting among the Sons of Winter since childhood made him considered a veteran among druids of the same level. Carl's experience was not enough to scare him.

Just when Carl was about to hit the druid, he clapped his hands and transformed into the Earth Elemental Archon.

The surrounding stone slabs flew up from the ground as he transformed, and then quickly turned into a rock armor that attached to his body.

The iron fist collided with the rock armor, and the same vibration was released from both sides.

The ground was shattered by the cumulative thunder damage, and Carl's Megatron mecha retreated half a step, while the opponent wrapped more rocks and attached them to the body of the Earth Elemental Archon, turning into a rock giant.

The rock giant stepped on the ground with his left foot, and the soil turned into rock, flying towards Carl at a rapid speed.

Carl was very confident in the defensive power of the Megatron mecha, but the force brought by the impact caused Carl to stagger.

"Since I developed this mecha, no one has ever knocked me down! Damn it, let's fight him!"

Carl did a backflip on the spot and used inertia to regain his balance.

The nitrogen injection devices on the limbs of the mecha were fully turned on, and the heat generated by the compressed air gushed out from the heat pipes on the mecha.

"laugh--"

As the nozzle opened, Carl's movements suddenly became much faster.

Although this mecha can be regarded as his "Arcane Power Armor" and can enjoy the speed increase brought by the Action Tide feature, the number of times this feature can be activated is limited, while the nitrogen jet can be used continuously until it is damaged.

Realizing that the opposing druid was also a battle-hardened character, Carl gave up any action that would cause him to lose balance, and instead fought the opponent with steady moves.

The rock giant's movements were extremely fast for a creature of this size, but Carl's movements were even faster than his opponent.

Seizing the opportunity, Karg blocked the rock giant's fist, then leaned forward and gave him an elbow strike.

One of the most lethal parts of the human body is the elbow, and this position is equally deadly on mechas.

The sense of accomplishment from this attack was no less than when I used the See-Through Bullet to kill Tiger in Black Myth: Wukong! "Humph! That's all!"

Feeling secretly proud of himself, Carl let the rubble fall in front of him, preparing to wait a moment before launching a round of solid nitrogen bombardment on the enemy's transformed form and finally crushing the opponent.

But at this moment, the rubble was actually attracted to Carl's body under the guidance of some force.

Not only that, the surrounding soil also wrapped around the mecha like a python, trapping Carl firmly to the ground.

"Oh no, I fell into a trap!"

He struggled hard to break free, but the mud wrapped around Carl had begun to rapidly turn into rock.

Carl also tried to use compressed nitrogen to make the rock brittle and break the restraints, but the solidified rock blocked the jet nozzle, and the nitrogen could not be released for a while.

"Carl Iris, to be honest, if it weren't for you, I don't know when I could complete this plan."

Seeing that Carl was trapped in the stone and unable to move, the druid actually spoke.

He directly pointed out Carl's identity, and it seemed that he had indeed done some investigation on Carl.

But this is normal. Since he can get the mushrooms that extract the power of dragon crystal, wouldn't it be easier to investigate Carl's true identity? "You know me?"

While chatting with the other party, Carl was debugging the inside of the mecha.

It's not that he can't break free from the rock, but the mecha's full-power skills require a certain amount of buffer time.

So, he tried to buy time with dialogue.

The druid who transformed into the Archon of Earth Element obviously knew Carl's plan, but he seemed to want Carl to be convinced, so he did not stop him at the first time, but watched with interest.

The look was so obvious that it made Carl, who was trying to delay time, feel a little embarrassed.

Finally, with the mecha's energy core running at full power, Carl turned the power consumption of the Thunder Fist to the maximum.

The sound of rocks cracking was endless. The druid stepped back for a distance and then saw Carl shatter the rocks he had transformed with magic.

"Storm Bay needs people like you to help it develop, but it's a pity that you are not interested in this right now. What a pity."

The druid floated in the air without any panic, sighing, and had no intention of continuing to take action.

"We don't actually have any deep hatred, right? I admit that there are good people among the ordinary people who died in the plague, but in a place like Storm Bay, good people have a very hard life.

For a place to live, they can sell out a lot. Why does such a bad place exist in this world? Look at those guys who are preparing to besiege the Storm Council now. Didn't they have such power before?

No, they did, but at that time they feared the Storm Council.

But now, they are not afraid anymore.

It is not a sin to bully the weak and fear the strong, but such thoughts and such people have hindered the development of Storm Bay.

I have to clean up this rotten flesh."

These words made Carl frown subconsciously. He thought that the other party was just seeking to rule Storm Bay and then build it into a base for the Sons of Winter to train the next generation.

But he heard something else in these words.

"What do you mean? The survivors are now able to resist the Green Rain virus, and the zombies have been basically cleared out. What else do you want to do?"

After changing back from the form of the Earth Elemental Archon, the druid grabbed a handful of seeds from somewhere and scattered them among the shattered rocks of Carl.

Carl thought that the opponent was going to have a second round of battle with him, so he quickly did a backflip to get out of the position and put himself in a posture ready to continue fighting at any time.

However, as the seeds fell to the ground, countless green vines began to grow wildly.

In just a blink of an eye, the originally bare surface was covered with vegetation.

But no matter how Carl looked at them, he felt that the vines looked familiar.

"That's right! It's the twisted tree spirit I saw in the storm. This guy actually combined the green rain virus and vines together?"

Just when Karl was shocked, something even more shocking happened.

The druid cast the 5th-level druid spell - Wrath of Nature.

The power of this spell was originally limited, but when the spirits entered the vines, the vines suddenly entangled and twisted with each other, turning into vine monsters.

Not only that, their bodies are becoming taller and tougher as the vines continue to grow, like some kind of tree version of a flesh golem.
