Chapter 164: Why Am I Still Leveling Up?

Suddenly.
His gaze paused on a Dragon Lich Sect Disciple for three seconds before he walked quickly toward him.
The Dragon Lich Sect Disciple panicked.
He stood up from the ground and was about to say something when Blinken grabbed his collar.
In the next second.
Blinken carefully tidied the creases on his collar and adjusted the angle of the Dragon Lich Sect badge on his chest.
“Remember, no matter how big the crisis is, humans must not panic and must not forget to take care of their appearance. This is the biggest difference between humans and animals.
“Next time, if I find out that there’s a problem with the angle of your badge, I’ll expel you from the Dragon Lich Sect immediately!”
The believer opened his mouth in excitement.
“Lord Blinken, I, I…
Blinken helped him tidy up his appearance and patted his shoulder.
“Don’t talk. Do your job well.”
After saying that, he quickly left and looked elsewhere.
A few minutes later.
Blinken led his team and set off again.
This time, the camera couldn’t keep up with them. Instead, it watched them leave the forest and arrive at a relatively open highland.
On the ground, the water droplets slowly disappeared.
From a large puddle at the beginning, it gradually became a small ball. In the end, all the water droplets merged into a round ball of meat.
“Buzhi, Buzhi!”
The little elf stood with her hands on her hips angrily as if she was scolding Xiuyi.
Xiuyi, who was prepared, immediately took out a lead block from his waist and handed it over.
The elf grabbed the lead and swallowed it.
The lead appeared in its translucent stomach, and bubbles popped out. The elf burped in satisfaction, and the lead disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Buzhi is a scouting elf, but its scouting method is a little tragic.”
Xiuyi smiled shyly and put away the elf.
Matthew nodded. Those images were indeed very clear, and they were not detected by Blinken, who was a quasi-legend. This meant that the elf’s investigative ability was very high.
He extracted three pieces of information from the previous image.
First, Blinken was indeed a strong leader. The evil camp’s people were often difficult to train, but he could make every subordinate obey orders obediently. Although there was a reason for his strength, Blinken’s personal charm and management skills also accounted for a large proportion.
The underground allied army of the Order of Calamity was nothing more than a bunch of wandering soldiers in front of Blinken’s troops.
Secondly, Blinken seemed to have a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. It was no wonder that he was so angry at Su Ya’s slip of the tongue when he withdrew from the Black Banyan Dream.
Thirdly, after leaving the Black Banyan Dream, the direction of the march seemed familiar. Matthew thought for a while and confirmed that the highland they were about to reach was the place where he had fought alongside Old Lucky and Lorraine.
It was the edge of the Bitter Water Swamp.
Judging from his posture, it seemed that he was going deep into the Bitter Water Swamp. If Matthew did not know that the former owner of the swamp was called Dania, he would have really associated Blinken with the legendary necromancer.
“What’s the use of the Verdant Branch?”
Matthew asked Su Ya.
Su Ya said calmly,
It’s one of the ‘foundational items’ of the rainforest. With it, the Dragon Lich Sect Disciples can move freely in the rainforest to a certain extent, reducing the risk of encountering poisonous insects and beasts. At the same time, it’s also a Natural Divine Item. It’s something that Druids, Rangers, and Nature
Souls dream of.’
Matthew thought for a moment.
‘ So, Blinken snatched the Verdant Branch to fight a protracted war in the rainforest. He didn’t intend to attack with one fell swoop, or rather, he didn’t have the ability.”
Xiuyi echoed,
“What you said is very reasonable. Blinken is a very smart person. He never does anything impulsive. This sudden intrusion into the rainforest is the most impulsive thing I’ve ever seen him do, but he handled it in an orderly manner. To be honest, if he weren’t an enemy of the Alliance, I would want to be friends with him.”
Matthew nodded slightly.
To be able to make the scout sincerely admire him, Blinken was not simple.
This kind of brave and resourceful enemy was the most troublesome. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Matthew was not willing to make him an enemy.
My suggestion is that we can track Blinken and try to stop him from destroying the rainforest. If we had the chance, I would even be willing to negotiate with him. The best option would be to persuade him to leave the rainforest without using force.”
Matthew explained seriously,
“A level 20 mage is already very powerful. Blinken used to work in the Seven Saint Alliance and defected to the Dragon Lich Sect.
“It wasn’t that I lacked the courage to fight, but that I didn’t want anything to happen to anyone present.
“Of course, if negotiation is not possible, then force will be necessary.
“I believe that with our strength and cooperation, killing him is not impossible.”
Xiuyi thought for a moment.
“But how do you plan to persuade him? Although Blinken was very smart, he was also very stubborn. He had already determined that the dragon’s tomb really existed, so he would never give up.”
Matthew asked,
“Don’t you think it’s strange? I’m referring to the news about the dragon’s tomb and the Sandstorm Bandits..”
