An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 136 Strange Visitor
As a priest, the only ideas and suggestions Shadowheart can provide are to pray to the gods for help.
Otherwise, how would you collect so many magic items? It’s not like there are rocks everywhere.

Ma Long looked down at the fire, shook his head and sighed:

"perhaps you're right."

Although he didn't want to ask for help from a superior God, according to the situation he was facing now, there really was no better way.

Either pray to God or abandon Gale. He would not choose the latter option.

"I'm definitely right, and as the captain, you have to consider everyone. If it really comes to the point of no return, I hope you won't act out of anger."

In response, Ying Xin nodded and said solemnly.

It's not worth it to catch everyone for one person. Everyone's life is precious.

Sometimes the situation forces you to make a choice. Even if your conscience is uneasy, it is better than losing your life. Living is more important than anything else.

"Please, leave me alone."

When the conversation reached this level, Ma Long really had no mood to continue.
Shadow Heart naturally knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so she silently left and went to her tent, where she knelt and meditated.

Immediately, Malone came to the gate of the outpost alone and stopped, looking out at the outside world.
He hoped that someone would come through the darkness next, enter the camp, and help Gale stabilize the ball of destruction in his body...

But this is ultimately an unrealistic fantasy.

After standing for a while, Ma Long was forced back to the camp to warm up again due to the cold.
Without armor to protect the body, it would be really cold in the Underdark!

After all, it is located hundreds of meters below the surface, and the temperature is normal, hovering around ten degrees at most.

After returning to the camp, the women all washed up and combed their hair and walked back to their tents. Karak held a backpack filled with dry food and water.
Distributing dinner to each person, unable to cook a big meal,

There are no deer or rabbits under the ground to hunt. They can only eat some bread to barely fill their stomachs. The conditions are like this and they have to adapt.

Fortunately, no one complained,
Everyone took dry food and water and went into their own private spaces to rest.
Scratching also got a share. After devouring the food, he lay down in the center of the camp and was responsible for keeping watch while everyone rested.

After entering his own tent, Malone ate the bread in just two or three bites.

After drinking half a bottle of water, he got into the warm sleeping bag and lay down to rest.

When he was about to fall asleep,
A figure quietly entered Malone's tent and approached him.

"Are you asleep?"

As soon as he said this, he was so frightened that Ma Long opened his eyes and sat up. He subconsciously touched the sword beside him. However, the person who came was not an enemy.

But Asteron...

"What the hell, why are you here if you don't want to sleep?"

After seeing the person clearly, Ma Long breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and scolded in a low voice.

No matter what she wanted to do at this time, it was not appropriate. She was hungry and could no longer suck his blood. It was easy to lose blood in the human body, but difficult to create it again.

If you have that idea, let alone
There are still many friends in the camp. If the moans spread, how will they see anyone the next day?

"I want to chat with you, aren't you welcome?"

Hearing this, Astelon shrugged and explained.

"Why do you have to do it now? We are all tired enough today,"

"First it's the Shadow Druid, then the Green Hag, and then the Phase Spider. To be honest, I'm really not in the mood."

Involuntarily sighing, Ma Long patiently revealed his actual situation.

At this moment, he didn't want to do anything except sleep, because when he was awake, he would subconsciously worry about what the team would do next.

Hearing this, Asteron nodded,
But he still stayed here and didn't leave. He lay down next to Ma Long and got into his sleeping bag. The two of them have done the things between men and women, so it's natural for them to sleep together, at least that's what Asteron personally thinks.

Ma Long had no idea what to do about her behavior, so he closed his eyes and lay down to sleep.
If she can't drive him away anyway, it's up to her.

In this way, the two of them shared a sleeping bag to rest. Although it was a little crowded,

But I can still sleep.

……

I don’t know how long it took, but Ma Long woke up in a daze, his head was swollen and he felt very uncomfortable.
He sat up subconsciously, holding his head and looking uncomfortable.

His movement to get up woke up the woman next to him, and Astairen was in the same situation. She didn't have a comfortable sleep that night.

Because I was dreaming, the person in the dream appeared again! and chatted a lot with them,

The other party claimed that he was also a victim of the mind flayer parasite, and hoped that they could form an alliance, and told them that the parasite that lives in the brain is not simple.
Ordinary means cannot get rid of it at all!
If they do it forcefully, their lives will die when the bugs leave.

However, the man in the dream also revealed that there is a cure for the Moonrise Tower, and he must go there as soon as possible.

Then, the dream ends and the person wakes up...

"Hey~ Dreamer, I really hate this feeling of feeling tired when I wake up."

Astelon covered her head and said with an unhappy face.

Ma Long nodded and felt the same:

"Me too, but there is nothing I can do to stop that guy, but he mentioned the Moonrise Tower. I believe you are the same, right?"

"It's enough to prove that there is indeed a way to cure bugs in that place."

The man in the dream also suggested that the Moonrise Tower could eliminate the threat of insects.

We can be sure that Harsin’s guess is correct.

"Okay, get up."

Then Malone climbed out of the sleeping bag and walked out of the tent, stretching and yawning.
The physical recovery is pretty good, but the mental aspect is not fully replenished.

However, as soon as he walked out, he saw an old man with a white beard wearing a robe, a wizard's hat, and a staff, playing with the dog in the camp!

Scratch is even happy and doesn’t bark at all!

Seeing the other party, Ma Long's sluggish energy and spirit suddenly changed dramatically! His eyes widened and he rubbed them in disbelief.
There are real people, it's not a hallucination.

"Ah~ you woke up, I thought I had to wait a few more hours."

When the old man saw Ma Long regaining consciousness, he smiled and said hello.

It's very dangerous to break into other people's campsites without permission. Some owners will try to steal them.

Just at this time, Astelon also came out. When he saw the old man, he was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he was shocked and shouted loudly:
"Come quickly! There's a stranger!"

Less than three seconds after the words fell, Karak was the first to pick up the ax and rush out of the tent.
Wei Er and Ying Xin tied for second place. When the three of them saw the old man, they immediately surrounded him regardless of whether he was hostile or not!
Point their weapons at each other, each with a fierce look on their face.

There is nothing we can do about it. There are only a few friendly people or creatures in the Underdark, and this old man suddenly comes to visit.
We must be prepared and be cautious of the opponent.

"Old man, where did you come from? Tell me, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel."

Karak carried the ax on his shoulder, and with his height advantage, he lowered his head and looked down at the opponent.

At the same time, Ying Xin and Weier also had cold faces.
If the old man doesn't explain why, don't think about leaving well.
