Chapter 2449 (ΦωΦ) Fat Cat Roars

Maybe even Doric herself didn't expect that this investigation, which she thought was very simple, would be more difficult and longer than she imagined?

Anyway, she certainly didn't expect to be able to return in just three or two days as she had said when she left Neverwinter a few days ago.

Although when she set out on the first day, she was intercepted and tormented by a bad little guy all night, which delayed a lot of time, but no matter what, she could not deny her investigation this time.

The fact that the event did not go well.

Isn’t this?

At this moment, when Serge's red-robed wizard and the army of death led by him had captured the Junction Fortress and were slowly pressing towards Neverwinter City, she was still in the center of the Swamp of the Dead, in that area covered in mud.

In the ancient building fortress submerged in the water pool, he searched through the maze-like passages.

Now Doric has turned into a fruit fly that is very common in swamp areas, flying around like a "buzz", searching carefully in the black dragon's lair.

She already knew about the fall of Leilong Town. After all, she saw it with her own eyes. She also knew that the red-robed wizard, the black dragon, and the army of death summoned from the Swamp of the Dead were heading towards the intersection fortress, or even towards Neverwinter City.

Go, and the reason why she was indifferent and did not rush back to report the news was naturally because she had the intention to investigate the other party's lair while the black dragon was away!

Because she knew that the defenders and Simon who originally planned to support her at the intersection fortress would definitely send an alarm back to Neverwinter City. Even if she rushed back now, it would not help. Therefore, her first priority at the moment was of course preparation.

Let's rescue Hunk first.

Of course, the premise is that Henk, who was said to be captured by the black dragon, and the fat giant dragon Fat Orange were not killed by the black dragon?

That’s right!

Yesterday, by monitoring the conversations of several followers of the Dragon Worship Cult under the Black Dragon, she obtained important information, saying that Henk and 'Fat Orange' were indeed killed by the adult Black Dragon 'Black Death' and 'Greedy Predator'

Captured alive, not killed, and currently imprisoned in this ancient lost fortress?

As for why they were both members of the Dragon Worship Cult, the two adult black dragons brazenly attacked Leilong Town and completely destroyed the place. They wiped out all the Dragon Worship Cult's grassroots and leaders there, and then joined forces with the group of Sers.

Preparing to attack Neverwinter, Doric is unknown.

Anyway, she only knows that while the two adult black dragons have not come back, this is her perfect opportunity to find Henk and rescue him!

This was also the main reason why she did not choose to return to Neverwinter immediately.

After all, instead of going back empty-handed, she thought it would be better to rescue Henk first, and there were Anne, Simon, Edkin and others in Neverwinter City, plus a large number of Neverwinter guards and sturdy

The city wall, she felt, should be worthy of a druid like her.

'Buzzing...'

In this way, the female fruit fly that Doric transformed into continued to search, and after getting rid of several wild male flies that came to harass her and wanted to mate with her, she was able to continue in the maze-like passage of the ancient fortress.

Searching deeper.

'Buzz buzz...'

She began to fly forward majestically along the dark cave-like passages, constantly searching for the black dragon's lair. In her ears, there was only the buzzing sound of her own wings vibrating at high speed and the faint sound coming from far and near.

The friction of scales and the noisy chatter of some low-level followers and slaves of the Dragon Worship Cult.

She has been searching for two or three hours. Ever since the two black dragons left, she has been looking for the whereabouts of Henk and the useless red dragon 'Fat Orange', but unfortunately, until now,

She hasn't found any useful clues yet.

'Buzzing...'

!!

suddenly!

When she flew through a stone door, she actually felt a familiar breath?

That made her subconsciously stop and turn back, and felt carefully in front of the stone door. Then, she really felt the powerful and familiar sacred energy.

Of course, strength is relative to her current fruit fly size.

'Buzzing...'

then!

Feeling the direction of the sacred energy, she quickly got through the stone door and went down the steps behind the door. After narrowly avoiding a sneak attack by a gecko on the wall, she soon discovered a dark cell area.

.

There were two napping guys standing outside the door of one of the cells. Judging from the other party's service and the flame mark with eyes and burning dragon claws, Doric didn't need to make too many guesses.

I know that the other party must be a member of the Dragon Worship Cult, and he is also a low-level ordinary thug, so he will definitely not be able to detect her.

Therefore, she did not rush to clean up the two men, but flew straight over and flew in through the opening on the door of the steel cell guarded by the two guards.

‘!!’

As soon as he entered, Doric was surprised to find that in the dark and humid room, in addition to several red symbols of darkness, destruction and evil flashing, in the center of the symbols, there was a mentally depressed person.

people were imprisoned there.

And if you take a closer look, who is that person if it’s not Henk?

At this time, the opponent looked very weak and tired, and the weak sacred energy on his body was fighting against the formation-like rune. Even if he was not a mage or warlock with a family background like Simon, Doric himself could know that,

That thing must be used to continuously drain Henk's energy and prevent him from recovering and escaping.

'Buzz buzz...'

Seeing that he had finally found his target, Doric was overjoyed and immediately flew to the other person's eyebrows, hovered there and began to call softly.

"Henk?"

"Hello!"

"Wake up quickly!"

"Henk?"

"Wake up, I'm Doric!"

"Henk?"

Unfortunately, I don’t know whether Doric’s voice was too soft or because Henk was tortured so miserably that even though she shouted several times in succession, the other party didn’t even move his eyelids?

As a last resort, Doric immediately transformed into her pretty Tiefling true form in this cell, and then prepared to step forward to untie the rope that bound Hunk and wake him up.

But...

I don’t know if the runes she stepped on the ground triggered some kind of early warning mechanism or if some magic was activated because she touched the rope? In short, before she could rescue and wake up Henke, far outside the cell

There were waves of angry roars, as if someone with heavy footsteps was rushing towards here?

then!

Doric hurriedly transformed again, directly turning into a small gecko and climbing onto the damp stone wall above the cell door, and soon saw a dragon man negotiating with the two guards guarding the door.

Then he rushed in with a roar.

Immediately afterwards, the three men began to search around the empty cell with suspicious eyes.

"..."

Although the visitor is just a dragon man and two ordinary Dragon Worship Cult guards, there are no troublesome Dragon Worship Cult wizards or mages. The other party should not be able to detect his own, but looking at the wide open

Looking at the three enemies below who were still looking around at the cell door, Doric made a quick decision and decided to take action now.

"!!"

The next second, the gecko transformed by Doric immediately jumped down, and then silently turned into a ferocious owlbear in the air.

Then, before the three enemies below could react, she bit the unsuspecting dragon man's neck with a 'click'. Then, she inserted one claw into the chest of one of the guards, and the other claw

Then it tore off the throat and arteries of another guard who was about to scream, so that he could only stare with wide eyes for a moment as Doric slowly changed from owlbear form back to tiefling, and

In vain, he used his hands to cover his throat, which was gushing blood crazily, and slowly knelt down, and finally fell to the ground helplessly.

"Well……"

"Much, Doric..."

It was only then, when the three enemies fell to the ground, that Henk's weak voice suddenly sounded, and Doric was overjoyed and hurriedly approached again.

It turned out that he was awakened by the sound of Doric killing the three enemies just now.

"How will you be here?"

"you……"

"Caught by them too?"

Seeing the familiar figure of Doric, and then looking at the three people who were dead, Henk asked weakly, as if he thought that Doric had also been captured, and then he just rose up and defeated the three enemies.

of.

"No!"

"I'm here specifically to save you!"

Doric was a little dumbfounded, but he still stepped forward and quickly untied the rope that tied the opponent's hands.

"hurry up!"
To be continued...
