Killing people and setting fires to get a golden belt, the ancients were not wrong about Li Wei.

The unexpected surprise of three thousand gold coins made him feel a little elated.

A standard gold coin weighs about 6 grams, plus the gold coins he already had on him, the gold coins alone weighed dozens of kilograms. He didn't even dare to walk too unsteadily, for fear that others would know that he was carrying a bag of gold coins.

He felt regretful in his heart, thinking how nice it would be if he had a storage ring.

"Even though I have a lot of money, I still have to get the ambergris. But it's too unsafe to carry so much money with me. I have to find a place to hide it, and then take it back after I finish my business here."

Levi did what he said. He left Icewind City and ran towards the wilderness after making sure that no one was following him. He identified a direction and after walking about ten thousand steps, he came to a ridge covered with dense coniferous forest. He found a big tree that he could remember and began to dig.

After hiding the gold coins, Levi patted the dirt off his body and covered it with some rocks to hide the traces of human excavation.

Finally he turned around and left, quietly waiting on the top of a big tree in the distance for an hour, but no one showed up.

Only then did he feel relieved and ran down the mountain.

The gathering time Graf had mentioned was approaching.

…

It was not until Levi heard from a passerby that Knight Bernard's house was on fire that he learned that the assassin was called Bernard.

Bernard's home was very remote and no one was there when the incident happened. In addition, the fire had destroyed all traces. Given the level of criminal investigation in that era, it was unlikely that he would be found, so he didn't care too much.

In the morning, near the west gate of Icewind City, a line of carriages carrying goods slowly set off. Around the carriages, there were five knights of different sizes, some riding horses and some walking.

It was Levi and his group. He had already met up with Graf and the others. After making sufficient preparations, they headed to the territory of the earth dragon beast that Graf mentioned.

"Everyone, before we begin this operation, let me emphasize our division of labor. I will be responsible for finding the Earth Dragon Beast, and the Blue Falcon Knight will be responsible for using your speed advantage to lure the Earth Dragon Beast into the range. The Black Rhino Knight will be responsible for cooperating with the Blue Falcon Knight and using your giant shield and defensive advantages to contain the Earth Dragon Beast. And the Red Spider Knight, you will use the poison you prepared to poison the arrows and ensure that His Excellency White Wolf can focus on shooting."

"No problem." said Knight Green Falcon.

"I hope you won't let us down." The Black Rhino Knight looked around and finally his gaze fell on Levi. He believed that he was the strongest among the five people and played the greatest role. However, he had deep doubts about the archery skills and team role of the White Wolf who joined the team last.

"Okay, that territory is located at the border of the Emerald Kingdom and the Tuva Empire. In addition to being careful about the Earth Dragon Beast, we also have to be careful of the people of the Tuva Empire. I'm worried that the people of the Tuva Empire have also discovered the trace of the Earth Dragon Beast and will send people to investigate. After all, we are not sure whether the knight who was seriously injured by the Earth Dragon Beast is dead or not." Graf was also overwhelmed by this makeshift team and repeated the precautions over and over again.

Levi walked while staying on guard at all times to prevent the hateful assassin with the Death Bird Voice from appearing again.

After two assassination attempts, although both were successful, Levi has become more cautious.

For this trip, he spent a huge amount of money to buy a brand new set of high-quality chain mail in the city. If it were not inconvenient to march long distances wearing plate armor, he would definitely have worn plate armor.

In addition, the quiver was full of arrows. He wore a Black Snake dagger on his left hand and Frostmourne on his right hand. In his pockets, there was quicklime looted from those assassins. He was ready to slash the enemy's eyes at any time. In short, he was fully armed.

After about three days and three nights of travel, Levi and his companions finally arrived at the territory of the earth dragon beast that Graf had mentioned.

This is a huge valley. In the center of the valley is a dense jungle. In the distance, snow-capped mountains stand tall and endless.

That is the dividing line between the Emerald Kingdom and the Tuva Empire. Beyond that mountain is a vast expanse of seaside hills and plains where the Tuva people live. Unlike the Emerald Kingdom, the Tuva Empire is a centralized feudal empire, so its overall strength is much stronger than that of the Emerald Kingdom. Before the Millennium Holy War, the Tuva Empire often invaded the Emerald Kingdom. In the millennium, the Emerald Kingdom officially declared war and recruited a number of noble coalition forces. The holy war ended with the withdrawal of the Tuva Empire, but the Emerald Kingdom also suffered heavy losses.

The main habitat of the earth dragon beast is in the Tuva Empire. The earth dragon beast discovered by Graf is likely to have migrated from there.

As the road became increasingly difficult to travel on and the carriages were having difficulty moving forward, Graf and the Black Rhino Knights simply carried their armor-piercing crossbows and moved forward.

Finally, they placed the armor-piercing crossbow on a flat high ground, from where they could have a panoramic view of the valley.

"The area ahead is the Earth Dragon Beast's territory that I marked. Next, Knight Red Spider and Lord White Wolf will prepare here, and we will lure the Earth Dragon Beast over. Lord White Wolf, remember, the Earth Dragon Beast's only weak points are its eyes and the area behind its eyes, which is its brain. Other than that, even if we can penetrate the Earth Dragon Beast's defense, it is too large for our arrows to kill it in a short time. And with the poison configured by Lady Red Spider, it is unrealistic to knock down the Earth Dragon Beast instantly, so please show your best condition, otherwise, even if the Earth Dragon Beast is injured, this valley may become our graveyard."

Graf's face was solemn. There was no doubt that the key to this battle lay in Levi's accuracy. Once Levi made a mistake or had other little ideas, they might fail. Failure was secondary. The most feared thing was losing their lives.

That's why he had to emphasize this again and again, just to tell Levi that now their team would prosper and suffer together, and if they failed, Levi himself would be killed by the angry earth dragon beast.

"Just do your own jobs well, nothing will go wrong here," Levi said calmly, with great confidence.

"I hope so." The Black Rhino Knight stared at Levi, then turned and left. The Green Falcon Knight and Graf immediately followed him.

The Red Spider Knight took out a small bottle of potion with a strange fragrance from the lining of his tight armor and slightly opened his red lips.

"This is the strongest poison made from six kinds of precious and highly toxic substances. There is only one copy. Sir White Wolf, when you shoot, you must shoot accurately..."

The Red Spider Knight said with a smile, and then began to apply these precious potions on the arrows. If the poison is applied too early, it will easily evaporate and reduce the efficacy, so this kind of precious and highly toxic potion is immediately applied.

"Believe me, with a beautiful lady like you by my side, my shooting will definitely be more accurate than you think." Levi said calmly, observing his surroundings.
