"-Poof!"

Somewhere in the underground passage of Tania City, the figures of two players, a man and a woman, slowly crawled out of the pile of dirt, and the gray-robed man struggled to pat the mud off his body, while looking up at the faint hollow above his head: "The amplification effect of the mage disc is so strong?" The mire technique actually corroded the ground more than ten meters deep......"

"I'm afraid it's hard for those who are stuck in the quagmire to climb out again." A chuckling voice from his side immediately sounded Ning Lan's chuckling voice: "It's a pity that there is space underground here, so this way of survival appeared." ”

"Thankfully, the road is wide enough." Sighing softly, Duan Qing then retracted his gaze: "Otherwise, if this place is blocked, we will have no room to escape now." ”

"But we're not out of Tania right now." The voice belonging to the secret whisper Ning Lan had moved to the mouth of the passage not far from this hollow at this time, accompanied by her movements attached to the corner of the passage and carefully looking ahead: "Now I can only hope for the defensive magic array that covers the whole city......"

"It's not going to be so powerful that even the underground world can reach it."

Listening carefully to the voice coming from the front of the passage, the maid player then nodded her head slightly, and her dirty face and her own smile faced Duan Qing who stepped forward, as if she was waiting for the next command in the voice of the gray-robed magician: "In that case, then we have to take one step at a time...... Oops, my adventurer's handbook has been turned into the Imperial Edition, and all records of the principalities are now gone. ”

"Sir and Ning Lan should be in this position now." So the code whispered Ning Lan opened her adventurer map: "The intersection of Yar's Avenue and Central Street, the area directly below this intersection...... Not. ”

"The vertical position corresponding to the underground world seems to be a place we have never been to." She blinked her eyes, and her eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly with the rapid movement of her thoughts: "The closest to this place is Prissey's 'Hall of Laughter', which is about two or three hundred meters away from us. ”

"Laughing Hall?"

Blinking his eyes, Duan Qing's voice involuntarily lowered a little: "What is that place?" How come I've never heard of it? ”

"It's normal that Sir hasn't heard of it, because that place was once one of the three underground forces." Whispering Ning Lan replied in a low voice, "Since the last battle in Tania was over, that place has been abandoned. ”

"Is it because of the demise of the underground?" Duan Qing sighed softly: "It's been such a long time, and even we can't estimate the extent of things and people, even people like Hank who survived the incident can't be found now." ”

"Ning Lan can't be sure now, because the map information in Ning Lan's hand is also a long time ago." Ning Lan, who came over quietly, replied in a low voice: "The underground passage map that was detected at that time is already the boundary when you arrive at this place. ”

"You mean ......"

Blinking his eyes, Duan Qing's gaze struggled to meet the surface of the map in the maid player's hand: "The location we are in now is not connected to the original underground passage?" ”

A moment of silence then appeared on the surface of the adventurer's manual where the eyes of the two men converged, and finally disappeared into the boundless darkness in the distance of the underground passage with their movements turning forward in unison, and the walls of the passage that they had encountered before slowly appeared in the sight of the two players as their attention shifted. The surface of the wall made of bricks and stones also showed a different and stale appearance with their gaze at this time, as if they were showing the mystery and antiquity of this unknown place with a silent paleness, and then touched this ancient Duan Qing with his hand, and then slowly raised his head along the extension of these polished bricks, and finally fell his gaze on the straight upward hollow that he had just created behind him: "It's really a coincidence that blessing and misfortune depend on each other." ”

"We ought not to stay here long, sir." The vigilant voice of the secret whisper Ning Lan also sounded in Duan Qing's ears: "Let's go quickly." ”

"The question is how to go about it." Pointing to the adventurer's manual in the other party's hand, Duan Qing's brows gradually furrowed: "It is known that the central hub is located in the middle of the city, and we don't know very well whether it is connected to the underground pipeline or not, but judging from the fact that we have been there before, it is at least connected to the furnace." ”

"Underground passageways naturally lead to the furnace, and we've been there countless times before." Whispering Ning Lan replied with a smile, "But the biggest problem now is that the path we are in now is unknown. ”

"I didn't expect the city to have so much more to explore than I thought." A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and Duan Qing, who had lifted his spirits, then took the lead in walking forward: "Forget it, since that's the case, let's take two steps forward tentatively." ”

"Anyway, find the right direction first." After confirming the east, west, north and south in the darkness, Ning Lan then pointed in the direction that Duan Qing was facing as he stepped into the darkness: "If you're lucky, you might be able to discover a hidden secret passage connected to the existing underground passage—"

Call.

The piercing sound of breaking the air mixed with a shocking sensation sounded from behind the two people, accompanied by a strong sense of oppression that suddenly poured behind them, and the two people who felt this abnormal feeling also hurriedly hid in the darkness on the inner side of the passage, and cautiously looked in the direction of the hole they had just created with the mire technique. The change of light and shadow then flashed over the circular cavity that reflected the dim light, and then covered the silt and gravel directly above the intertwined silt and gravel with more and more obvious shadows, and the stronger wind pressure was followed by the exclamations of countless players and Duchy soldiers, completely obscuring the bright light reflected above the hollow: "This, what is this?" ”

"Don't come here! Don't- ahhhhh ”

The screams that rose one after another were replaced by screams, followed by a dragon roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and then the powerful coercion also poured into the top and bottom of the hollow with the appearance of this dragon roar, and finally with a tremor stronger than the earthquake, all the earth and rocks above the entire hollow collapsed: "...... Call. ”

"Finally found it."

The scene of the earth shaking and shaking then appeared in front of Duan Qing, accompanied by the terrifying coercion that suddenly came from the pitch-black depths that completely collapsed, and the indifferent voice that was completely inconsistent with this coercion also sounded in front of the two people, and then there was a little doubt in the tone of the rightful tone: "I didn't expect you mortals to try to hide such a secret in your own nest...... Hey? ”

"Who are you?"

A pair of bright vertical pupils suddenly shone at the end of the passage that had completely turned black, and the center of the pupils also flashed two terrifying golden lights at this time.

*******************************

"I suggest we leave at once, Your Highness."

At the same moment, in the hall of Taran Town outside Tania City, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was already fully armed, clasped his hands together and performed a formal ceremony, and at the same time looked at the face of Her Royal Highness Princess Rena with a solemn gaze: "There is already a situation in the city, and we don't have time to delay here anymore." ”

"We are the Empire's investigative team, and at the same time the emissaries representing the Empire's authority." Her long golden hair fluttered gently in front of her, and Princess Rena's answer was as calm as her expression: "At any time and in any place, we cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Duchy in public, and please be able to do this in the Blue Spirit Adventure Group—"

"Something must have happened inside Tania."

Unceremoniously interrupted the other party's words, and there was a bit of coldness between Xue Ling's serious eyes: "If we don't attack again, I'm afraid we will lose the best opportunity." ”

"You seem to be flustered." Without showing any anger because of the other party's confrontation, Rena's eyes fell on the other party with interest: "What did you perceive?" ”

"My sword trembles."

Lowering his head and being silent for a while, Xue Lingphantom Ice then gritted his teeth and raised the scabbard of the long sword in his hand: "I have been an adventurer for so long, and I have never seen such a situation occur. ”

"There must be some kind of strong enemy in the city." She lowered her sword blade again and stared at the other man's face with an extremely serious gaze: "We should go to the city and have a look, immediately." ”

"I know you're worried about that companion of yours." Rena let out a slight sigh: "But even so, it is almost impossible to ask to enter the city at this point in time. ”

"In that case, then I will ask the investigation team to back down for the time being."

Bowing his head and silent for a while, Xue Lingphantom Ice then turned around and walked towards the far side of the hall: "It's best to leave this place immediately and find a safer place to set up camp." ”

"I'm afraid we won't have a chance to protect you for some time to come."

Ignoring the unstoppable eyes around her, she pushed the door and walked out of the town hall without looking back, and then faced the pouring rain outside the door, and met her gaze with the gaze of several players approaching: "Let's go." ”

"Do you really want to do it yourself?" Then came the voice of the Cangyun barrier in her ears: "We don't care about Lanshan, after all, we are outnumbered, but-"

"If you don't come to this set, you have long been looking forward to fighting to the death with the principality." Xue Lingphantom Ice unceremoniously interrupted the other party's words: "If you want to find trouble, go ahead, I am not qualified to command you." ”

"Don't be so blunt, after all, so many people down there are paying attention to our movements." Signaling to the inside of the surrounding rain curtain, Cangyun Barrier showed a triumphant expression: "The situation has been stalemate here for so many days, and every day we have to face the arrogant faces of those principalities, everyone's hands have long been itching and unbearable." ”

"If you really want to get into trouble, I suggest you go in a different direction."

Opening his adventurer map, Xue Ling's eyes gradually took on a bit of seriousness: "The east side of Tania is on higher ground, which is the most suitable place from a strategic point of view or from a weather point of view, since you like to wave the army from that side." ”

"Will you choose the West?" Cangyun Barrier's gaze was a little more abrupt: "Okay, we'll attract enough attention for you." ”

"It's good to know." Seeing the other party's footsteps gradually leaving this place, Xue Lingphantom Ice turned to look at the rest of the people who were staying in place: "The noble legion of the empire can't be counted on, and of course the royal magicians can't be counted on, so we can only rely on our own strength, as well as the information we have in our own hands. ”

"According to my understanding and the previous explanation of Brother Lin, the west side should be the exit of the Tania underground waterway." Holding the shield, Gedmayne then nodded his head as well: "But that place should have turned into a sea by now, I don't know if we can still have a chance to successfully enter it." ”

"You're the ones who want to get in."

Shaking his head, Xue Lingphantom Ice once again made a surprising decision: "We have another way. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Of course it is—magic teleportation."

Pointing to the face of a ragged player who was being held behind by Asahi Dongsheng, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice landed on him with an inquiring gaze: "Remember when you appeared in front of us, you used a teleportation spell, right?" Can I cast it again? ”

"You should be playing with teleportation spells." Sure enough, a protest belonging to the Fallen Dream sounded in her ears: "Last time, I happened to have a piece in my hand...... Uh, no, it's just a scroll for teleportation spells, it's a disposable consumer product that will evaporate once you use it! ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you know how to use it."

An indifferent voice then sounded behind him, and it was the voice of Violet, who appeared in the corner at some point: "I will provide you with the materials you need, and I will leave the rest to you." ”

"Hey, do you have to use such a dangerous and unreliable method?" Dream struggled and pointed at Violet behind her, "Since she's here, won't it be over for her to take you in?" ”

"My strength has not yet recovered, and there is a powerful energy enchantment in that city now." Violet smiled and shook her head, "But the most important thing is - you should have a way to find that guy's location through random teleportation spells. ”

"Time is of the essence, and we have to do it this way." Stretching out his hand and grabbing the other party's arm, Xue Lingphantom Ice then pulled the magician towards the depths of the rain curtain in the night without refusing: "Your combat power is also what we need at the moment, after all, ......"

"What we need to face next is very likely to be a strong enemy like the dragons."
