Chapter 180: The Underworld (2)
"My lord, don't go near the forest. Ayton stepped forward and said, "In the Dark Regions, this forest is the territory of many powerful creatures. ”
"In the dark regions, many monsters will hide around fluorescent mushrooms, and when the fluorescent mushrooms emit bright lights to attract other animals, they will launch a surprise attack. And many of these fluorescent mushrooms are poisonous. ”
Suren didn't speak, reaching out to catch a fluorescent spor. There was nothing unusual about the fluorescent spores falling on his hand, and Su Lun blew lightly and flew into the air again.
"Let's go around. "Su Lun is not an iron-headed baby, and he is not reckless about this forest that hides unknown dangers. Who knows what is hidden inside, although he is very strong now, there are still many unexpected dangers in this world.
Bypassing the caves along the rock wall, there was no movement in the Ghost Light Forest, only the fluorescent spores flying in the sky, and the entire Shadow Light Forest emitted a faint light, which looked extremely beautiful.
Just as the two of them walked around to the other side of the forest, Suren suddenly found that under those giant mushrooms and mushrooms, there were many small mushrooms and small mushrooms, and when they looked closely, they found that those small mushrooms were not covered with dirt and wood, but corpses and other animals with rotten bones and bones.
The corpse of an underground salamander that had not been dead for a long time had not yet decomposed, but the surface of the corpse was covered with a large number of hatched spores, and dense small mushrooms had grown from its body, and the scalp of the person watching it was numb.
"That's parasitic mushrooms, they live on dead animals or humans, they grow on flesh and blood, and although they are cultivated in a bloody way, they are the main ingredient for healing and antidotes. ”
Noticing Suren's gaze, Ayton explained. "The ones next to them are hallucinogenic mushrooms, which emit gases that can cause biological hallucinations and are often used by some predators to hunt other creatures. ”
"The scientific name of those vines is devil vines, usually like ordinary plants motionless, only when other creatures get close to it will suddenly entangle it, their vines have a large number of barbs, when entangled, they will directly pierce into the body of the prey, and inject a large amount of narcotic effect into the prey, and when the prey loses the ability to resist, it will inject another digestive toxin, and the muscles and internal organs in the prey's body will melt into a puddle of liquid in a short time. ”
With Ayton's introduction, Suren also had a preliminary understanding of the dangers in these forests, and it was indeed worthy of an area of adventure level 12, and any forest was so dangerous.
The mineral resources of the underground world are very rich, and all kinds of metal minerals and gem minerals are several times or even dozens of times that of the surface world, otherwise the original dwarf kingdom would not have dug down regardless of a tendon, and finally dug out the sleeping ancient fire demons.
Those greedy dwarven kingdoms were finally completely destroyed by the ancient fire demons, and they had to go to other regions to establish new kingdoms.
In addition to these resources, there are also a lot of dragons in the underworld, such as common red dragons, shadow dragons, white dragons, etc., and it is said that a drow elf family designed to capture an adult red dragon and then use transfiguration to transform the red dragon into a human form.
These drow elves prepared a large amount of aphrodisiac medicine and forcibly fed it to the red dragon, and then let him have a long-term friendly exchange with the female drow elves in the family, and a group of female drow elves lined up to get sperm from him.
Since then, a large number of dragon warlocks and dragonborn drow elf warriors have appeared in this drow elf family. By the way, this family also produces dragon blood potions, which can be baptized by dragon blood.
Dragon blood baptism requires the use of dragon blood in conjunction with some magic arrays to strengthen the physical fitness of the ritual, this ritual can be superimposed together, it is said that after superimposing to the fifth layer, the skin that has been smeared with dragon blood will become as hard as iron, but there were many nobles who chased this ritual frantically,
But then the red dragon broke free and escaped, and the enraged red dragon directly washed the blood of this drow elf family.
Rounding the treacherous forest, the two men continued on their way, and after passing through two more underground caverns, Ayton finally found some traces of humanoid activity.
"It's supposed to be kobolds. "The signs of koboldness are too obvious, these humanoids are characterized by dirty and smelly, and these kobolds are very fond of dragon droppings.
"My lord, do you want to scratch some tongues?" Ayton said eagerly.
Su Lun nodded: "Go ahead, fight quickly." ”
This kind of thing was not difficult for Ayton, and it didn't take long for Ayton to return with a few kobolds.
The kobolds in the underground world in front of them were very similar to their cousins, kobolds, with a foul smell emanating from their bodies, and their expressions looked panicked.
Ayton tied the three kobolds with a rope, and then pulled the three kobolds hard and fell directly into a rolling gourd.
"Your Excellency has already interrogated you. Ayton said, "In addition to the kobold tribe here, there is also a tribe of gray dwarves nearby, a tribe of goblins, and they haven't been further afield. ”
"Please let us go... We're just a bunch of pathetic kobolds... It won't affect you in any way, and we can trade our treasure for freedom!" said one of the kobolds, trembling.
Treasure?
Su Lun's eyes lit up slightly, kobolds like to mine, and many dragons also like to enslave kobolds to dig gold for them, and this is an underground world, notoriously rich in minerals, these kobolds are likely to have dug up a lot of gold and gems and other treasures.
"Gold, precious stones, piles of gold!" the kobold hurriedly gestured, for fear that Su Lun would kill him if he said it slowly, it seemed that Ayton should have trained them just now.
"Is it the gold mined by your tribe?" asked Suren with an eyebrow raised.
"Yes, yes. The kobold nodded.
Su Lun nodded and didn't speak, gold, gems and other things are hard currency, since they have encountered it, they will naturally not let it go, but Su Lun does not believe in the kobold's words very much.
"Let's go over and have a look. Suren said to Ayton. Ayton nodded, and then asked the three kobolds to lead the way, the kobolds' camp was not too far from here, and after passing through a passage, they came.
Su Lun looked at it from a distance, there were a lot of kobolds in this tribe, as a very weak creature, if it didn't have a strong reproductive ability, maybe it would have been extinct a long time ago, I'm afraid only goblins can compare with it.
Kobolds are oviparous, there can be five or six left in a litter, kobolds know something from birth, and some wizards have studied and said that they have something to do with their so-called dragon bloodline, after all, dragons are also born with inheritance memories. Of course, this is one of the bases on which they claim to be Dragonborn.
In fact, few people really care if they're a Dragonborn or not. Some wizards even tried to extract their bloodlines by capturing a large number of kobolds and then wanted to obtain dragon bloodlines, but what made him collapse was that he extracted the bloodlines of more than a thousand kobolds, and then purified these bloods, purified and purified, and purified these bloods to the limit, and he didn't find out where the so-called dragon bloodlines were?
According to his calculations, if you want to obtain a dragon bloodline at the level of a dragon, it is impossible without more than 100,000 kobolds. Otherwise, even if the kobold can reproduce again, they will be caught by wizards and adventurers.
"This cave is inhabited by kobolds?" asked Suren as he looked at the tribe in the huge cave.
The kobold tribe in front of him was very large, and Su Lun made a preliminary estimate that there were at least thousands of them here, and these kobolds were scattered into more than a dozen small tribes.
"Where are the gold and precious stones hidden?" asked Suren.
"In... In the largest of the tribes. ”
Suren glanced at the large tribe, he was located in the center of the entire cavern, occupying more than a quarter of the area, and the other tribes were just surrounding them. With such a large tribe, it is also a trouble to attack directly, although he can kill all these kobolds, but it will take a lot of time and energy, so he plans to steal directly.
Take out a very beautiful octagonal glazed palace lamp from the storage space, the glass lamp is crystal clear throughout, and a little fire inside illuminates the surrounding several meters. It was the Shadow Sky Lantern that Su Lun had obtained before, and the function of this Shadow Sky Lantern was stealth and anti-concealment in addition to lighting.
Moreover, the stealth of this shadow sky lantern is group stealth, as long as there is enough energy, he can completely steal an army. In addition to stealth, this lamp is also a weapon against stealth, as long as it is illuminated by the light of this lamp, the invisibility spell will be invalid.
"Incognito!"
A spiritual light was released from the Shadow Sky Lantern, Suren and Ayton were enveloped in it, along with the three kobolds, and in the next second, everyone, including the Shadow Sky Lantern, disappeared.
"Lead the way, and don't make a sound, or else... Hmph" said that the long sword in his hand swept and directly cut off a stalagmite next to him, and the section was smooth and flat.
"En!" the kobolds nodded repeatedly. Covering his mouth tightly with his hands, he didn't dare to make any sound.
Su Lun said softly, "Let's go!"
In front of him, a beautiful glass palace lamp was floating in the air, and the glass palace lamp held up a transparent light cover, enveloping several people, and then the three kobolds led the two of them towards the kobold camp.
The kobolds' camp was a complete mess, dirty, and unhygienic, with sewage flowing on the ground and black, smelly, unidentified objects on the ground. Some underage kobolds are chasing and fighting, and occasionally a group of kobolds can be seen gathering to play some multiplayer games, which is too unappetizing.
