Having successfully returned to the surface, Carl was not as wary as before of this drow who suddenly appeared and joined his team.

After all, in his opinion, if the other party wanted to do something bad, the best time would be when they entered the Gate of the Earth.

But she didn't do anything at that time.

This greatly reduced her suspicion and made Karl feel that the other party really just happened to appear.

"Ah? What? Who? Uh~, I'm fine, I just... I just feel that the money you gave me was too easy to get. This is simply the most profitable business I have ever done. Otherwise, I will sleep with you for the next month, otherwise I will not feel at ease with this money."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ashe felt two sharp gazes falling on her.

Hope and Ying protected Carl on the left and right, and two pairs of eyes of different colors looked at her vigilantly and cautiously, as if to say: How come you are eating and taking at the same time? Blinking, Ash suddenly laughed twice.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding, I just think this money is too easy to get, I'm a little... scared!"

As she said this, Ash's heart felt like it was blocked, making it hard for her to breathe.

Of course, she didn't act like this because she told a lie. For most drow in the Underdark, lying has become almost an instinct.

The reason she felt chest tightness was because she had just thought of a possibility.

'The drow who came to deliver the message said that Elohine had started a rebellion in the city of Burin and they had discovered it. If this thing succeeds, it will be fine. If it fails, my prestige in the sect will definitely be hit.

Once my prestige is damaged, given the atmosphere within the sect, opposition will inevitably emerge.'

This is almost inevitable.

But Ash would never have thought that things would be worse than she imagined.

Rumors that she had fled in fear and voluntarily surrendered to the enemy as a slave had now begun to spread within the Rose Cult. When she returned to Storm Bay with Carl, she might be surprised to find that the drow she had sent here were trying to assassinate her.

But at this moment, she still had a lucky mentality in her heart.

'If I return to the sect now to quell the rumors, I will lose this golden opportunity to get close to Karl.

As long as I could get him to convert to the Spider Queen, or even just get pregnant with his child, my position within the sect would be secure.

If I get pregnant with a boy who has the talent of self-dream world, I might be able to obtain further blessings from the Spider Queen and be promoted to Legendary!'

Rose and Iris, two of the Limeng drow, gave birth to boys, which allowed their respective bloodlines to spread rapidly in the Underdark.

But Ashe's idea was somewhat taken for granted.

If she herself is also a Limeng drow, through the accumulation of years and Rose's assimilation of her personality, she may indeed be promoted to a legend.

But by then, she might no longer be Ashe, but the carrier of the nightmare spirit.

Hiding deep in her heart the anguish of being overthrown and the joy of having successfully gone undercover, Ashe initially came to terms with herself and returned to her previous self.

Seeing Ashe's expression change several times within a few seconds, Carl did not delve into what was wrong with the other party. He just secretly warned himself to stay away from the other party in the future, so as not to give this guy a chance and really put his idea into practice.

Returning to his seat, Carl secretly warned himself in his heart.

Suddenly, a ray of light came in from the car window.

Soon after, the light became brighter and brighter, and it also brought a warm feeling.

Carl and others unconsciously squinted their eyes to savor the long-lost sunshine.

'Wait! Isn't Thorin doing the same thing?'

After opening his eyes again, Carl looked towards the driver's cabin to confirm.

Seeing that Thorin was still addicted to racing, he felt relieved and closed his eyes again to enjoy the sunshine.

After a while, as the drow in the surrounding constructs opened their hatches to look out, Carl opened his eyes and began to check the situation around him.

On the plain in the distance, wisps of smoke were rising. Carl quickly took out his telescope to take a look and found that it seemed to be a drow tribe preparing lunch.

Compared to their counterparts in the Underdark, their civilization has become more primitive.

The members of the tribe wore clothes made of linen and animal skins, which barely covered their vital parts.

Rather than covering the body, this is more like a simple leather armor used for defense.

Carl even suspected that these things had not been processed much, and they were just scraped off the grease on the leather and used directly after drying.

As he was watching, Carl suddenly heard Bane's voice.

"I'm afraid there will be some minor problems on the road ahead. We have too many people and we might get separated one after another during the space jump."

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Carl looked into the distance and realized the trouble of the matter.

Scorpion at the side looked at the drow sticking their heads out of the constructs, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about we split into two teams? Carl and the others lead one group, and the two of us and Thorin lead another group? That way, it should be about the same."

When Carl heard this, he thought it was a good idea, but when he saw Iris and Ashe sitting quietly, he changed his mind.

"Two teams are still a bit too many. Let's have three teams. Jialian, Elise, and Ashe can lead one team. This will prevent the team from getting separated to the greatest extent possible."

The three people who now have control over the entire construct are Carl, Bane and Garlian, but Garlian only has the most basic authority.

But this is enough for the opponent to roughly command the constructs to arrange formations or engage in battle.

Soon, the team stationed in place. Carl and Bane informed Galian about the team's advance, and then distributed them according to the standard of two hundred constructs per team.

The three teams lined up in a horizontal column and moved forward, with a certain distance between each team.

Soon, they reached the border of the area and then jumped into unknown territory.

"By the way...can Jialian, Iris and the others find Storm Bay?"

Sitting in the truck driven by Carl, Hope and Ying asked with some concern.

Neither Galion, Elise, or even Ashe, seemed like drow who were familiar with the surface conditions.

"It's okay. I've already given them enough food. Even if they leave and form their own tribe in the wilderness, it won't be a big hindrance to us.

Rather, it’s better this way.”

As they were talking, the scene in front of Carl and the others suddenly changed, and they came to an unfamiliar wasteland.

Several giants were hunting a giant beast in the distance. The presence of Carl and his companions did not attract much attention from the giants. Perhaps they mistook the truck and the construct for some strange metal ant colony.
