Chapter 106: The Underworld (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation!) )
Under Warwick's scolding, several wolf cubs entered the portal first, and they were able to send a few simple messages through their roars, which they were the most suitable candidates to use as scouts.
The unique geography of the Dark Regions can block out the sun, but the sticky darkness can't help the monsters who are proficient in dark vision.
After descending the stone steps, everything inside suddenly opened up, and the tunnel was unusually wide, large enough for twenty large minotaurs to walk side by side.
The stone walls on both sides are not smooth, and can even be described as rough, but on the stone walls along the way, you can often see strange murals, messy reliefs, full of abstraction, and the picture is also poor.
In addition to the daily burning and looting, there are actually many images of mating, well, the vast majority of female humanoids can be found on it. It's in line with the vulgar, wild and debauched racial style of the orcs.
Not only that, but the relief murals also seem to depict the splendor of the ancient orcs, who established great kingdoms where dwarves, elves, humans, and ferocious monsters were their slaves.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the world was under the control of the orcs at that time.
These mural reliefs also confirm the kobold's previous suspicion from the side that this is a relic left by an ancient orc.
The terrain of the passage became lower and lower, and finally even the stone steps were omitted, leaving only a primitive passage. However, there are many new carvings on the stone walls on both sides, mostly some totem worship and sacrifice rituals to ancient orcs.
It is clear that the orc clan still wants to restore its former glory, and they are dormant here, recuperating and recuperating in order to one day regain their ancient glory.
With the Red Dragon Clan's footsteps, there was no end in sight for nearly ten minutes, Warwick roughly estimated, and now it has gone about two or three kilometers underground, but the air is still full, and the Red Dragon Clan does not feel any discomfort.
As it gradually descended into the ground, the darkness was gradually illuminated by some faint fluorescent light, and the Red Dragon Clan slowly stopped here.
There is no sunlight in the dark area, but in this eternal dark environment, the moss, lichens, and fungi that grow on the stone walls have undergone some abnormal changes, and they can emit a faint phosphorescence, echoing each other, beautiful, forming a unique lighting environment.
Some clans living in the dark regions are even able to selectively cultivate luminous plants and distribute them outside the clan territory to create a natural, bizarre-looking illusion that can effectively block the invasion of enemies.
After the research and analysis of the kobold old wizard, these plants do not have obvious toxins, but because of the natural selection evolution of the environment, some absorb phosphorus-containing minerals in the soil, so they can emit phosphorescence, and some interact with the elements in the air, thus releasing magical magical glow.
The Red Dragon Clan hit the road again, passing through several twists and turns, and a cave that looked like a natural formation appeared in front of them.
Warwick sniffed with a wrinkled nose, an unpleasant smell of putrid filling the air.
"Check it out."
He cautiously sent scouts to investigate, and although he had not encountered any danger so far, he did not dare to take it lightly. The cunning nature of the jackals did not make him forget that this was the lair of the orcs.
A few minutes later, the wolf cubs returned with several skeletons in tow.
"There are no living creatures, all skeletons, a lot!" They spoke to the Red Dragon Clan in a broken lingua franca.
Warwick frowned, if it was just dead things that didn't scare the Red Dragon Clan, these monsters had been baptized by war, and they were the elite of the elite, as long as it wasn't a large-scale attack, three or two kittens and dogs, and it was just to deliver food, what he really cared about was the identity of the skeleton.
"Judging from the outline of the skeleton and the injuries, there have been skirmishes here, these two skeletons are the remains of orcs, this one is so small that it doesn't even have eye sockets is the stone-blind barbarians, as well as goblins, half-orcs, except for orcs, most of them are natives of the underworld."
After the kobold wizard used a spell to identify, he speculated: "These should be the ancient orcs who clashed with the underground creatures when they dug the tunnel, and judging from the current situation, it was the orcs who won and they successfully moved into this land." ”
"Are these creatures the only ones?"
"There are so few samples, I need to go and see for myself." The old wizard said.
Warwick nodded, and everything was done with caution.
The dragonwing kobold broke into the cave, and as far as the eye could see, there were white bones, as well as some broken weapons and armor.
Obviously, this place is like a mass grave!
He even found ogre and troll skeletons in the pile of bones, of course, in small numbers. To his relief, so far he had not found the remains of powerful clans such as the Mind Flayer, the Drow Elves, and the Grey Dwarves.
The old wizard even began to wonder if this was a dark region, or just a deeper cave. Otherwise, how could only some weaker races be found?
There was a sudden rustling sound in the darkness, and a figure slowly stood up from the pile of bones.
It has gray-white skin, muscles that seem to be tightly attached to bones, sharp teeth and claws, and a stench of decay from all over its body, but there is no trace of decay on its body.
Its eyes were red, and it lunged at the kobold wizard with its teeth and claws, its long tongue almost reaching its chest, twisting and wriggling like a small snake, covered in disgusting and sticky saliva.
Such a swift speed is obviously not an ordinary undead, in fact, it looks very different from a necromantic skeleton.
It's a ghoul, living in a land of decay and death, and no matter how many corpses they devure, they can't get nourishment from it, but this monstrous monster has an unquenchable hunger for the living, which forces them to hunt down the poor prey that appear around them at every opportunity.
Moreover, the ghoul's undead flesh never decays, so such monsters can survive in a cellar or mausoleum for a long time without eating or drinking.
It seems that this mass grave created this monster, which ate all the corpses here, and then hibernate again, waiting for the living creatures to appear.
Zet Zack was unhurried, and after awakening to become a dragon vein warlock, he was much stronger than the average kobold.
A muffled dragon whisper came out of his mouth, and an invisible mana barrier pushed away the ghouls who approached him, and he raised his glowing staff.
Almost instantly, an instantaneous magic missile streaked through the darkness with a bright light like a meteor, and many Red Dragon clans who were accustomed to the darkness closed their eyes reflexively.
Rumble!
It didn't make too strong an explosion, but the old wizard's energy spell after the ascension of the ring still completely exploded the ghoul's head like a watermelon falling to the ground.
