This lich needs more money

Amberxiu never worried about finding the rebellious drow.

Since this group of underground elves wanted to rebel, they would naturally keep an eye on the movements of the Apoptotic Rose.

An explosion as big as before would probably have blown up this underdark area.

At least if it's a little normal, someone will definitely be sent out to investigate what happened.

A large group of escaped slaves like Amber Xiu and Melina must be their top priority, because if they want to get information, they have to look for it from these slaves.

So passive waiting is the best way.

When Melina discovered the spider drow hiding in the shadows, Amberxiu also sensed that someone was peeping at him.

"Father, they are here, do you want to break them out of the shadows?" Melina asked.

Amberxiu did not answer, but asked: "What do you think?"

Melina suddenly fell silent. She knew that this was a test given to her by Amber Xiu, to let her think about the problem by herself.

If these spider drow are not caught, wouldn't they have to continue acting under the surveillance of the other party? And I don’t know how long it will take. If this spider-shaped drow is captured, will it alert the mastermind behind the scenes and make them afraid to contact him again?

These two choices were tugging at each other in Melina's mind, and she couldn't tell which one was better for a while.

Amberxiu didn't prompt her. After she thought about it for several minutes, Amberxiu said, "Do you think the spider drow is still there?"

Melina pretended to glance casually into the darkness in the distance, and then replied: "Still."

"So, you've been thinking about it for so long, have things gotten worse?"

Melina reacted immediately and asked: "Father, what do you mean, as long as things don't get worse, we can continue?"

Amberxiu then reminded: "When you are faced with a dilemma, choose the option that will definitely not go bad. Because if you hesitate, it means you are not determined enough to take the risk, so don't take the risk."

This is also what Amber Xiu learned when he was an adventurer.

Young people are always hesitant when facing opportunities. They want to get better results but are afraid of counter-effects.

Amber Xiu didn't know how many times he suffered losses before he figured out this problem. If he couldn't take risks without hesitation, he would definitely complain after failure, and the result would be a vicious cycle.

Then simply don't take risks, be better prepared and wait until the next opportunity comes, and then take the gamble without hesitation.

Melina understood what Amberxiu meant and decisively chose to pretend she couldn't see him.

After a while, the stalking spider drow disappeared. Melina was a little anxious, thinking that her poor performance had revealed some flaws, but Amberxiu continued to comfort her and let her do what she should do.

Melina is now the leader of this tribe, and her men are now a mixture of several races. It was okay when I was on the run, but now that I have settled down, many problems have been exposed.

The drow want to completely occupy this tribe, the myconids don't want to lose their homeland, and the few deep gnomes and dwarves want to run away. They know very well that there is no difference between living under the drow and living under the undead, and even the undead are better, because the undead will not kill a slave for fun, but the drow will.

It's rare that I'm free now. How long will it take if I don't take the opportunity to run away?

Now is the time to test Melina's leadership.

But Melina didn't do a very good job. She had no way to balance the conflicts between various races. She could only rely on her fists to suppress all dissatisfied voices. If this continued, sooner or later there would be problems.

But it doesn't matter much, because they are not here to farm. They only need to be able to maintain the tribe in a short period of time. I believe that within a few days, the rebellious elves will come to Melina to discuss cooperation.

The opponent's patience was even less than what Amberxiu thought. He didn't have to wait a few days at all. Half a day had not passed before a spider-shaped drow appeared outside the myconid tribe.

The huge spider body of the Spider Drow made everyone tremble with fear. It was ugly, huge, and full of dangers. These things were too oppressive for the escaped slaves.

Melina didn't need Amberxiu's reminder this time, and walked directly over to face the spider drow.

The spider-turned drow stared at Melina with a row of eyes on his forehead and said: "Haha, I am more courageous than I thought. The drow who has been enslaved by the undead for so long can still maintain such a bit of arrogance. It's really rare."

Melina crossed her arms and said disdainfully: "A sacrificed waste speaks to me in this tone. Have you forgotten the Spider Queen's teachings?"

Spider-turned drow are all male, because the transformation ritual is very cruel and extremely risky, and female drow will never take risks on their own.

Queen Rose's order does not matter what force the drow belong to, as long as they belong to this race, they must abide by this rule. Therefore, after Melina expressed her dissatisfaction so forcefully, the spider drow's expression became a little ugly.

However, the spider drow did not immediately kneel down and kowtow, but retorted: "I come to talk to you on behalf of our mistress. I represent the dignity of my master. Don't try to use rules to suppress me." . Besides, can you drow who are trapped by the undead still hear the voice of the Spider Queen?"

Although he said this, his tone was not as arrogant as before.

Melina also heard the change in tone. She remained serious and arrogant on the surface, but in her heart she couldn't wait to find the mastermind through this spider drow.

"For the sake of that unknown fellow human being, I won't argue with you about etiquette. Why did you come to me?"

The spider drow did not dare to waste any more time and said directly: "My master is launching a counterattack against the undead and needs to gather all his strength. You are a slave who escaped from the royal city of the undead. Join us and take back our drow." Your underdark!"

Melina wanted to agree immediately, but Amberxiu quickly reminded: "You are a slave who has just escaped from birth. Even if you are of the same race, don't you know the virtues of drow? Conspiracy, frame-up, these are the most important things for drow." Whatever method you like, every drow is a conspiracy theorist and will not agree so easily."

Melina didn't expect that she was wrong again. Fortunately, her father was by her side to give her some advice.

Melina thought hard for a moment, and then said: "Counterattack? I understand, you have been attacking the convoys transporting minerals before, right? But I heard that you have suffered heavy losses recently, why should you deal with the Queen of Roses with this little strength?"

Amberxiu's fingers trembled. This child still didn't have enough details. How could any escaped drow continue to call the Apoptotic Rose the queen?

However, the spider drow didn't seem to have a very good IQ, and he didn't hear anything wrong with this detail, so he explained directly: "That's just part of the plan. That death knight who is as stupid as a goblin thought he was winning all the time. In fact, she has already lost. As soon as our plan is launched, she will fall into our trap like an idiot.

"Haha, I've seen a lot of undead, but skeletons with no intelligence are not that easily fooled. Killing this death knight is the clarion call for us to launch a final counterattack, and the idiot's flesh and blood will become our sacrifice... huh? What? sound?"

It was the sound of the joints cracking as a result of clenching the fist too hard.

Melina's fists were already clenched, and she almost couldn't resist punching the spider drow.

Amber Xiu finally understood why this child was depressed. If someone said this every day, it would be quite stressful.

But now it depends on Melina's own performance.

Can a child who is just a few days old be able to endure such face-to-face insults?

Melina angrily punched the stalactite pillar next to her, breaking the stone pillar thicker than her waist into pieces with one punch, startling the spider-turned drow.

Just when Amberxiu thought Melina couldn't help but take action directly, Melina gritted her teeth and said: "The death knight you are talking about is the daughter of the Queen of Roses. She is indeed an idiot. It's because of her Stupid, I ended up where I am today!”

Amberxiu suddenly felt a comforting feeling. This child has grown up, and his lies are quite natural. If the wording and details are changed, it will be perfect.

The spider-turned drow looked at the broken stone pillar, and his originally gray face instantly turned pale. Fortunately, he didn't continue to offend this fellow member, otherwise he would have been exploded if the punch landed on him.

The spider drow quickly said: "So you also have a grudge against that idiot. That's great. Join us. With your ability, you will definitely be appreciated by the master, and she will definitely support you in forming your own tribe!"

Melina sneered and said: "You have been talking for a long time but you haven't said anything. I don't know what your so-called plan is yet. Who knows if you are tricking us into being cannon fodder?"

The spider drow shook his head and said: "How is this possible? In this battle, every companion is precious. We are not undead, and we do not have the ability to fight more and more."

Melina shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me what your plan is!"

The spider drow hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I can't tell you the whole truth, but I can reveal one thing. This is the oracle of the Spider Queen. She gave the master an artifact that is enough to destroy all undead!"

"Artifact?"

Melina was shocked and quickly asked Amber Xiu: "Father, they have a divine weapon! What should we do?!"

Although Melina was only a few days old, Amberxiu had already added a lot of common sense when weaving her soul, such as language, writing, some basic history, etc. Melina didn't know Queen Rose Spider very well, but she knew that the artifact was a very powerful thing.

Amber Xiu was also shocked. The artifact given by the gods was not so easy to deal with.

But when I thought about it carefully, I found it impossible. An artifact capable of destroying an entire country would not be given to her, unless Queen Rose Spider was tired of living and wanted to be slapped by Io. Even though the elves and gods came from outside, they would be controlled by Io when they came to this place.

If it were so convenient, the Lord of the Morning would throw down his hammer, and Ryan would unify the continent, leaving the other kingdoms in the dust.

The artifact may be real, but its power is certainly not that outrageous.

However, an artifact is still an artifact, and this thing is extremely valuable!

Amberxiu said directly to Melina: "Daughter, the plan has changed. The mastermind behind the scenes wants to catch it. We also want the artifact!"
