"What kind of material do you want to find for Lisanna to condense the spirit card?"

Driving side by side on the uneven road, Nia asked Carl through the short-range communication device in the helmet.

Carl hadn't mentioned this to them before leaving Storm Bay.

"Do I look confident to you? This time I'm just walking around the outskirts of the adventure zone to see if there's anything suitable. I heard that an adventure group got in touch with the Giant Tribe in the adventure zone some time ago. I think we might be able to try our luck there."

Although Carl likes to make rules for many things, he will implement things like this that cannot be accurately predicted in a very casual manner.

Hearing that Carl didn't have any plan, Nia's face under the helmet suddenly became speechless.

"Hey! I feel like I've been around here before. There seems to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the forest ahead. Do you want to hunt it?"

Although the popularity of Spirit Cards is quite exaggerated within Storm Bay, it will still take some time for it to affect the mid- and downstream businesses.

Judging from the current situation, the price of materials for condensing spirits will need to increase for at least a period of time before more people will be keen to go to the wilderness to hunt for treasures.

Of course, many smart people have probably realized this and have already started preparing for it.

"Sure!" *4 agreed in unison, and the four motorcycles rushed towards the forest diagonally ahead.

However, before they could get close, a roar was heard in the forest.

“Ah~”

Following the sound of the hind feet, a series of dull "bang bang" sounds rang out. Before Carl and his friends entered the forest, a Tyrannosaurus Rex nearly four meters long rushed out of the forest.

What surprised Carl was that the Tyrannosaurus had serious injuries on its body, which probably proved that it was being attacked by other adventurers or monsters.

"dodge!"

After alerting others, Carl steered his motorcycle to the side.

The Tyrannosaurus staggered forward, but before it had run far, it fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

Looking back at the forest, there was neither a team of adventurers nor any more terrifying monsters coming out to claim their spoils, as if the injuries on the Tyrannosaurus were caused by itself.

"Strange, although the strength of dinosaurs is not as good as some dragon beasts with higher blood concentration, they are still considered to be relatively advanced in the biosphere. What happened?"

Relying on his skills and courage, Carl simply slowed down the motorcycle slightly and rushed into the forest.

Nia and the others followed closely behind, but at a much slower pace, ready to cast spells to provide support at any time.

The haphazardly growing trees on both sides quickly moved backwards, but after going quite a distance, Carl did not see anything suspicious.

Before this, the forest had been completely occupied by the Tyrannosaurus, and the forest's biosphere had been almost completely eaten up by it.

This is also the reason why Carl decided to hunt it even though Hope was in the team.

"Stop! Go back."

Looking at the forest border that was about to be reached, Carl waved his arm, signaling everyone to follow him back the same way.

Although his psychic senses did not give any warning, he felt that if he went deeper, he might encounter something bad.

Xen'drik is not much smaller than Khorvaire, and this land is cursed by the gods, so it is not surprising that anything appears there.

Nia went forward to check and found that although the Tyrannosaurus's wound was inflicted not long ago, it was pale, as if the area around the wound had already been necrotic.

Seeing Hope and Ying looking at her curiously, she took the initiative to explain: "This is a trace of necromancy magic. There might be some undead in that forest. Hmm~ This guy's meat needs to be purified before it can be eaten."

After briefly explaining her opinion, Nia looked at Karl.

Carl was stunned for a moment, then he performed the food purification technique, and then he and Hope cut and collected the various materials and flesh of the Tyrannosaurus.

Although they knew that something was wrong in the forest, Carl and his men were well aware that they were not fully armed and might not be able to defeat the enemy.

It is indeed a good habit to get to the bottom of things in academics, but doing so in other matters may bring unknown risks.

After packing up their things, Carl and his crew did not even spare the blood, and then took their things and left on their motorcycles.

But shortly after they left, part of the forest suddenly shook like a phantom and eventually disappeared.

Two elves walked out and looked in the direction where Carl and the others left, silent.

They look like a man and a woman. The male elf has a tougher look and wears a simpler wizard robe, but his hairstyle gives people the impression that he must be very good at playing cards, and his forehead is also highlighted with gold.

Female elves have softer features, and their hair is simply tied into a high ponytail, making it very convenient for movement.

After a long while, the female elf with a softer appearance spoke up: "The holder of the Exploration Dragon Mark is the artificer who reformed Storm Bay?"

Then, the male elf beside her nodded.

"Yes."

After another moment of silence, the female elf said with emotion: "Such talents often emerge among short-lived species, but it takes hundreds or thousands of years for us elves to produce similar people."

Glancing at his companions, the male elf said in a very cold tone: "Instead of spending time sighing, you might as well investigate the so-called Rose Cult. Their minions have penetrated deep into Verena and even helped those dirty goblins to deal with us! We must teach them a lesson!"

When the word "lesson" was mentioned, a hint of resentment appeared on the male elf's face.

The female elf shrugged her shoulders and asked the other party in surprise, "Why did you kill the Tyrannosaurus after hearing their conversation? If we let them enter the forest to hunt the Tyrannosaurus, we might not be exposed."

Glancing at his companion calmly, the male elf continued in his very cold voice:

"According to intelligence, the young artificer likes to use covering saturation attacks. I can't guarantee that my illusion can deceive him. Rather than waiting for him to see through the illusion, it is better to show a friendly attitude. Although there is a drow following him, she does not have that kind of corrupt aura. We can cooperate with him."

It was rare that he said so many words, but the male elf's breath was not disordered at all, which made people curious about his lung capacity.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, but I'm a little curious about what the spirit card they mentioned in the call channel is. Can you help me disguise myself so that I can go to Storm Bay to ask around?"

Looking at his companion, the male elf stood still like a sculpture for a while before nodding.

After the female elf was disguised as a half-elf, the male elf took out a few identity cards and handed one of them to his companion.

"This seems to be Storm Bay's identification card. One of them belongs to a half-elf woman. It will be safer for you to go in with it."
