In this way, after successfully eliminating the Eye Demon that attacked him, Urs left the original crash site and walked out of the rock tunnel at the edge of the cavern, which might extend into other areas.

The memories of his previous life in this life will give him the intelligence advantage of many uncertain prophets, but the dark world below the surface is indeed an area that he has rarely set foot in in his previous life and this life - after all, except for special circumstances, humans above the surface generally do not travel to such dangerous ghost places as dark regions to travel and relax.

Just as the drow elves are rarely willing to adapt to the warmth and brightness of the sun unless they are invading the surface for war.

For this reason, although Urs is not completely unfamiliar with the dark region, he still has a vague impression of places that he has never been to at all.

He remembered a few of the more famous dungeons, and could identify many monsters that often haunted the underworld, but he was basically confused about the place he was trampling under his feet at the moment.

Where the hell is this? While he was concerned about the safety of his companions, he was also concerned about this issue, and he continued to explore cautiously and continuously along the tunnel floor under his feet.

If he encounters a fork in the road during the exploration, he will choose any one to continue walking, anyway, the map given to him by Moretti has lost its navigation significance here; If he encounters a new monster, he will kill it violently, because the monsters he encounters along the way are all eye demons.

The Eye Demons he found and killed were almost similar to the ones he had killed in the first place—their bodies were floating in the air, all of them were made up of an ugly, bloated head, which in turn was made up of huge mouths and eyeballs that covered the entire face, and slender tentacles with small eyes at the end grew on top of their heads like hair, as if they were to replace the limbs of mammals to help them make their teeth and claws, and the means of fighting were mainly based on the eye rays released by the main eye and the bite of the mouth when they were close to them.

The combat characteristics of the Eye Demon had been thoroughly understood by Urs in his previous game, so the young man was not very afraid of them, and not only killed several monsters that tried to attack him along the way, but also discovered some noteworthy situations along the way.

One of the notable instances was that the Beholders' physical characteristics were the same as the one he had originally killed, and they all seemed to have a tendency to turn into earth elements, with the fleshy skin faintly revealing the hardness and color of the rock, presumably proving that his recent suspicions might be true.

For example, in the case of the Lord of the Mist, Asomir, who influenced the Misty Islands, elemental creatures that are so powerful that they act like pathogens, unconsciously causing the elemental properties in their bodies to radiate and infect the surrounding environment......

In addition to confirming the mutation that had happened to the Beholders, Urs also found that the place he was currently in was an area of many rock tunnels intertwined, and the surface of the rock walls on both sides of each tunnel inadvertently found some traces of artificial excavation, and a few sections of the road were actually more like carefully built brick tunnels.

Traces of artificiality...... Very critical information.

"In other words, this place is definitely not natural anymore." After a while, Urs stopped in a new tunnel, his greatsword and his eyes on basic alertness, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed rows of dented notches on the surface of the rock wall on one side of the tunnel.

The concave notches were arranged in a neat manner, and the special shape made the young man react for a few seconds, and it was not difficult to see that they were most likely lines of lingua franca from the underworld.

It's a pity that he doesn't know the lingua franca of the underworld, and the language that can distinguish the language of the text is entirely because he has seen many similar glyphs in his previous life, so all he can do now is to confirm that the local inhabitants of the underground world have been active here.

So, who are the people who have lived here?

Silently analyzing the above points in his mind, Urs could not help but have new doubts on top of this layer of reasoning.

You must know that in the dark region, there are many races that use the lingua franca of the underworld, and just a casual remark can list drow elves, underground gnomes, and gray dwarves...... as well as goblins, cavemen, and Koutao fishmen with a relatively low overall level of education...... Even more mysterious spirit-sucking monsters and benthic mobs.

These inhabitants of the underground have their own language, but they also have a general knowledge of the lingua franca of the earth, as long as they can cross the "illiteracy line" of 8 points, and they are generally able to master the lingua franca of the underground world to the point where they can write proficiently.

"So... If only there were more clues around here. With such a huge screening range in his mind, the young man shook his head a little dejectedly, and said in his heart that he would analyze it in depth according to the elimination method......

First of all, these rows of characters on the rock wall are definitely not carved by themselves.

Next, in the group of people in his own team, the only companions who have mastered the underground lingua franca are probably only two people, Jay Bird and Abel.

The jay was originally a drow elf, and Able was driven by the so-called "curiosity and studious nature of a mage" to learn the lingua franca of the underground.

If any of the Drow poets or the mechanical mages had actually been to the tunnel, and had left these rows of handwriting on the wall—this was obviously the truth that Urs had hoped for, as it would have meant that the lost companions should not be too far away from him at this time, and that some further afield might have found more of their careful markings to find them.

"However, these marks do not look like they were carved by a knife, but rather like they were chiseled by a hammer little by little." Observing the wall with the words carved carefully, he calmed down and thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "The Crow's scimitar shouldn't be able to cut such neat marks on the hard rock wall...... Unless it's by means of magic, such as lithoplasticity. ”

But does Miss Poet know how to shape stones?

I can't remember exactly...... She didn't seem to have cast that spell in front of her anyway.

So was Abel here?

But then again, even if the words on these rock walls were really carved by Abel, why did it use the underground lingua franca......

"In that case, let's keep walking." The young man scratched his head, and although he wanted to complain about his clumsy knowledge of language in this life, he actually understood that the above possibilities were still his own wishful thinking in the final analysis, so he held the giant sword in his hand and planned to continue to explore.

"Idle is idle anyway...... Well? ”

He was just about to say this to himself, when the dark vision provided to him by the Cloak of Shadowscales suddenly made his eyes inadvertently see something.

His gaze was now straight ahead. There was a slight arch slope in front of the tunnel, and something behind that slope was now noticed by him by the advantage of his height, and then he walked quickly—

It was found to be a humanoid corpse.

"Anyone died here?" Urs frowned, looked left and right, made sure there was no danger around, and then crouched down to examine it carefully, and it was not difficult to see that although the shape of the corpse was human, the outline of the body was closer to that of a dwarf in detail, and it was similar to Koto's body in terms of height, width, and skeleton size.

In addition, the corpse of this suspected dwarf has long since decomposed, the yellowed bones poke out the rotten flesh and exposed, the clothes on its body are so simple that it seems that it was still alive with only a sack, and there is a missing horned pickaxe on the ground in hand, which makes people wonder if this is an underground dwarven miner who has been dead for a long time.

If yes......

"Wait." Urs's mind wandered slightly, and then he seemed to wake up suddenly, and hurriedly took out the treasure hunting map that Moretti had given him, and put his rough fingers on it to match his impression of the sense of direction.

After a while, his fingertips slowed down until they finally stopped at the area of the note that Moretti had told him not to approach—the Broken Pit.

Moretti reminded him that the Broken Mine was a shortcut on his journey, but it had been a lair of the Eye Demon that had been accidentally dug up by the Dillo dwarves a long time ago, and that it was a frequent earthquake, and that it was best not to come here if he could make a detour to Nameless Hill via the coastal land of the Black Sea.

All in all, this place is dangerous...... At least in the eyes of that brave underground gnome, it was dangerous.

"In other words, this corpse and all the traces of artificial construction in the tunnel are all left by those Dilo dwarves many years ago?" Realizing this hypothetical hypothesis, the young man couldn't help but froze for a few seconds, holding the map hand and slowly crumpling the corners of the drawings, and then said to himself, "It's really damn ......

The damn and cunning dark elves—

No wonder he always felt that the group of Drow knights who had chased his group in the barren rocks and hills before were very weird, as if they were deliberately driving their group to a certain place, not just to catch up with everyone, and then use the advantage of numbers and troops to start a life-and-death battle with everyone.

"But why are those drows plotting against us like this?"

While silently scolding the other party for damning, Urs quickly thought about the question of reason and motive, although the drow elves' general tendency towards chaos and evil did cause them to show an unprovoked desire to violate any intelligent creature they saw.

Leaving aside the possibility that the other party had nothing to do with it, if he said that his team had provoked anyone during the journey, the only person in his memory of the recent period was probably the one who had visited the city of Palomit according to the gray dwarves.

A member of the Zergun family - said to be a noble woman from the city of Morberaz.

Could it be that she is behind all this conspiracy?
