The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Before Aureliana saw them, Colin and the plesiosaur saw a family of fire scorpions guarding near the lake.

According to the living habits of the lava beasts, they will not stay in such places with water unless there are special circumstances, because such an environment is not conducive to their cultivation at all.

But now this family just lives here, is there any special reason?

Colin asked the plesiosaur to try to go to the lake to see if it would be attacked by the fire scorpions to determine if there was really any reason.

Just as Colin guessed, when the plesiosaur tried to enter the lake, it was expelled by the fire scorpion family.

There is a strong implication of expulsion, as if if you insist on entering this lake, you have to pass the test of their family first.

In a one-on-one fight, the plesiosaur might not be afraid of this fire scorpion, but there are five people in the family, including three level three fire scorpions. How desperate would the plesiosaur be to have to crash into it?

Besides, Colin had said before that it was just a test, so the plesiosaur turned around and left the area.

This sudden change on the lakeside was soon noticed by Aolianna in the lake. She saw the dragon-like creature with a long neck and a snake head.

She thought the other side had some help, but she found that the guy was driven away by the fire scorpions. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't have to worry about fighting one against four.

(She did not include the two level 2 Fire Scorpions from the Fire Scorpion family)

But if this continues, she really has to consider starting to dig a hole...

On the other hand, after receiving the report from the plesiosaur, Colin immediately understood that there must be something strange in the lake. Even if it was not where Aureliana was, there must be something special.

It seems that I have to do it myself.

Colin used the breath-concealing technique to conceal the powerful aura on his body. Then he used the invisibility technique and slowly sneaked towards the lake.

The plesiosaur watched Colin's breath slowly weaken and then disappear. If it weren't for the contractual relationship between the two, he would not have been able to sense Colin's presence.

Wow, this employer has this kind of trick. It's a good thing that I didn't fight him to the death like I did with Flamingo. In the end, he can't beat him and can use this trick to leave. Then he will find a chance to attack me by surprise. By then, I won't even know how I died.

While the plesiosaur was still sighing, Colin had already sneaked to the edge of the lake.

This time, he could "see" more clearly. There were always two level three fire scorpions guarding the lake on the edge of the lake. Not far away on the other side, there was another level three fire scorpion and the remaining two level two fire scorpions.

Colin did not alarm them. Instead, he restrained his breath more vigilantly. He needed to go into the lake and observe to find out what was going on.

At this time, Orianna, who was in the lake, felt a sense of blood connection approaching.

Although she couldn't see anything, Aureliana, who was not far away, could still sense something entering the water.

Aurianna couldn't guess what it was for a moment, but she secretly strengthened her vigilance and cast a defensive ice barrier. It would be no problem to stabilize the situation first.

Colin, who was traveling under the lake, sensed it when Aureliana released the ice magic.

"Hmm? Is it Aureliana?" Colin sent out mental fluctuations tentatively.

"Hmm? Father, it's father's voice!" Orianna heard her father's question.

"It's me, father," Orianna responded.

Following the direction of the sound, Colin quickly found Aureliana.

"Father, why are you here?" Aureliana was very happy that Colin came. She couldn't imagine how her father got here.

"It was your teacher Morgana and your mother who told you to participate in a mission for some academy, but you insisted on choosing this more difficult one. Now you are trapped here. Fortunately, there is no danger. Otherwise, what would you do with my mother and teacher?"

"I just want to earn a higher mission score. Father, you may not know that the result of this mission directly affects the next batch of witches. It is really important."

"No matter how important it is, it's not as important as you. It was fine that our family was weak before, but now we are one of the most powerful forces in the Griman Islands. How can we still lack your resource supply? If it really doesn't work, just come back. Why do you have to make trouble at the Witch Academy? Have you forgotten how worried your mother was about you before?"

"No, father, I must stand out from this mission and become a new witch. Besides, those fire scorpions outside can't trap me. I just don't want to dig a hole..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's leave here first. Always pay attention to your own safety. Without this premise, everything else does not exist."

"By the way, father, how did you get in here without being discovered by those fire scorpions outside?"

"How else can you get in? Isn't that how you got in? You need to practice more on some life-saving witchcraft so that you won't fail at the critical moment. With your current strength, it stands to reason that you can escape if you can't win. How come you've been trapped here for so long and can't get out?"

Aurianna was at a loss for words after hearing Colin's words. She couldn't say that she was very diligent in her training, but she had been working hard. However, her efforts were more focused on improving her strength and studying ice witchcraft. She had never paid much attention to these "unconventional" ways of restraining one's aura.

With Colin's help, the two once again passed through the fire scorpion's guards and returned to where the plesiosaur was.

"What is this?" Aureliana asked when she saw the plesiosaur's respectful look.

"Oh, this is the Lava Beast warrior I hired temporarily."

Upon hearing this, Orianna understood that this was a fool who had been fooled and would become one of his father's slaves in the future, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

"How long will it take you to complete the task here?" Colin was in a good mood and asked casually after rescuing his trapped daughter.

"The mission is almost done, but the family behind me has been chasing me for several months and trapping me for several months. I will be upset if I don't deal with them."

"That's perfect. I don't want to let this family go. I have another big guy to deal with later. Let's start with this family first."

Having made up their minds, the father and daughter began their plan against the Fire Scorpion family.

While the opponent's two level 3 fire scorpions were guarding the lake entrance, they first launched a sneak attack on the single fire scorpion not far away. With the help of Colin and his daughter, and the assistance of the plesiosaur, it would be easy to succeed.

After we succeed, looking at the subsequent situation, whether it is a head-on attack or recruiting them, it will be relatively easier.
