After discussing and formulating the itinerary for the second half of the journey, the members of the Thorn Squad began the second half of the journey of the entire underground world as soon as possible the next morning, leaving the city after some supplies related to adventure materials in the city, and at the suggestion of Morediti, they reached the barren hills below the cliff along a cavern tunnel near the cliff.

The geographical environment under the surface and the surface under the sun have many different characteristics, and the underground space that resembles a giant karst cave structure is destined to be dark and gloomy in the underground world, and the mountains are rarely seen, so the passage connecting the two areas with a large altitude difference is often not similar to the mountain road above the surface, but many cave tunnels of different sizes and lengths, natural and unnatural, some are formed by geological movements year after year, and some are excavated by the inhabitants underground, and the natural caves and artificial passages are intertwined. Construct the entire underground world into a huge and three-dimensional "net".

The cave tunnel between the cliffs and the barren rocky hills is part of this large "web", which looks like a hollow tree hole with several interlaced branches from a perspective perspective.

After a few hours, everyone finally felt the feeling of grounding from the surface of the soles of their shoes, and then walked out of a "tree hole" at the bottom and saw the barren rocky hills that officially belonged to the dark area.

As Moretti described, the rocky hills beneath the cliffs were indeed a relatively large underground area. With the dark vision provided by the Cloak of Shadowscales, Urs stood at the edge of the cavern tunnel exit and found himself in a convex face in the hilly area underground, scattered rock pillars and stalagmites jutting out of the ground dotting the darkness nearby, and the undulating shadow outline of the hill in the distance fell to his eyes, if not clearly, but in general, as far as the eye could see.

The expanse of the field meant that everyone might have to spend a lot of time in this area - and it didn't take long for the situation to prove that this was indeed the case, but fortunately the map provided by Moretti showed the coordinates of the south, east, west, and north, and at least ensured that everyone did not get lost.

On the premise of ensuring that they did not get lost, the arrival of night forced the people on the journey to stop and rest for the night. It's a bit funny, because the world below the surface can't see the light, and the people in the team are actually getting tired before realizing the fact that the night may have come, and Urs has always been curious about how the inhabitants of the underground world use to accurately calculate time, after all, clocks are not found everywhere, and hourglasses will inevitably have errors in operation.

Isn't it possible to rely solely on the biological clock?

It doesn't feel very scientific...... But maybe it's fantastical enough.

All right.

The young man accepted the answer to his own questions, and then, together with his companions, chose a relatively secluded valley to rest, planning to use the surrounding bulging hillocks as shelter to avoid the hunting activities of some underground beasts.

Although there are many customary differences between life above the surface and life below the surface, the predatory habits of wild beasts remain unchanged whether they are in the darkness of the surface of the earth or in the darkness of the earth.

In the dark regions, the bipedal black lizard is a relatively common beast. The creatures called black lizards by the inhabitants of the earth are not always black, and the skin on their abdomen is generally milky white, and the color of the scales ranges from dark green to dark purple, and the overall appearance looks like a dinosaur the size of a horse. They are omnivorous, aggressive, and tamable, and can be domesticated into mounts or war pets by intelligent creatures in the underworld, and often hunt in small groups as action units in the wild.

In addition to black lizards, petrified lizards, which are also lizard-like creatures, may also be found underground, although they are recorded in resource books to live mainly in the deserts of the surface world.

The petrified lizard has four pairs of stout and powerful short legs, crawling and moving, the rough crust is usually dark brown, rows of bony body spines protrude from the back, the height of the dorsal spine is not uniform due to the ontogenetic situation, the short one is about the same height as the abdomen to the chest of a normal human, the large one is about the same height as a standing human, it looks like a strong cow, the strange eyes are shining with a light green blazing light, and any creature that looks at must immediately undergo a test of physical strength, Otherwise, they will be turned to stone under the terrifying gaze of that pair of eyes.

This large lizard with the "petrified gaze" characteristic is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch, but fortunately they are relatively lazy, so that the relevant materials have the following records-

"Because of their slow metabolism, they don't spend their energy where they don't need to."

"If an intruder encounters a petrified lizard and chooses to run away instead of fighting, they will find that the pursuit is actually a bit careless."

Urs's current berserk specialty is not immune to petrification, so as long as you don't be unlucky enough to choke to death when you drink water, and you happen to encounter a mutated version of the "Abyss Giant Petrified Lizard", then the safety and security of the entire team is generally very reliable.

Young people understand their weaknesses that need to be aware of, but they also know that they have advantages over the vast majority of ordinary people. With a basic constitution attribute of more than 20 points, he still didn't feel tired after walking for almost a day, so he took the initiative to take charge of the vigil while his teammates were sleeping and resting, in case everyone was attacked in the most relaxed state in this rumored underground world, which is known for its danger and gloom on the surface.

He kept the sword as a weapon in his hand and sat down casually. The reimbursed +1 Cross Greatsword had been "rescued" by the legendary craftsman Zeken and had been restored to working order, but the Blind Prophet of history had been relatively straightforward in warning him that it would be best to replace it with a sturdy weapon, as he earnestly reminded the crowd that "be careful, some kind of malice lurking in the shadows has been eyeing you".

The future is a mysterious, and the fog that hangs over its surface is sometimes not fully dissipated in the eyes of the Prophet, so Zecken's advice to everyone is well-intentioned but relatively vague.

Urs remembered the words of the Giesserre, and his brown eyes looked sideways at the wolf-eared girl not far away.

Thea lay quietly on his side, her two fluffy wolf ears lying softly on her pale silver hair, and the body under the priest's white robe fell asleep and habitually curled up in a baby's position, and for a moment the young man couldn't help but laugh, chuckling and feeling that he couldn't control his big hands to touch the cute big ears in her hair.

There will always be all kinds of unhappiness during the journey, but when you relax and stop, you can also inadvertently capture beautiful details - but our protagonist hesitates a little, and then stops this thought, and the heart says forget it, don't accidentally wake people up.

If this is not an eerie underground, but a lake under the moon, the atmosphere of the scene must still be relatively good.

Koto, dressed in full-body armor like a bucket, and the dwarf's own stump-like stature made him lie on all fours on the ground, and in a few moments he snored and fell asleep, and his sleeping position looked heroic but not really occupied. Similar to Bellin Lis, but the little dwarf girl is a little girl in the end, not as open as His Royal Highness the Prince of the Fire Clan, she chooses to put her hands on her abdomen in a flat lying position, her legs are not so open, and her hazy sleeping face reveals an unknown liquid at the edge of her mouth with her smile upturned, and God knows what kind of delicious dessert she is enjoying in another place behind closing her eyes.

Was it the honey-pickled peach that Coto promised to make for her? Possibly.

Stone Fist is a little special, perhaps because of the practice habits of the warrior monk, even if he rests, he keeps sitting cross-legged, it doesn't look like sleeping, but meditating, not like the crow, as if there is no nervousness at all, after Urs announced the vigil arrangement, he randomly chose a place a little farther away from the orc warrior monk to sleep, the only thing she paid more attention to seemed to be that she was very careful to put her scimitar and lute in the range of reach.

There seems to be a bit of a personality gap between the warrior monk and the poet lady? The young man turned his head to observe the two of them, part of the journey flashed in his mind, and he tilted his neck and blinked. Or is it some kind of misunderstanding? But regardless of estrangement or misunderstanding, they do not seem to have rejected each other because of this, and it has not had any malignant impact on the unity of the team.

Think about it this way...... It doesn't seem like a bad thing.

Sweeping his gaze over the orcs and drow, Urs's gaze paused for a moment, and then continued to move to Abel, his fellow mechanic, the magical apprentice of the legendary mage Yustina, and the orthodox mage, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the second highest combat power in his own team, and in certain cases, he can even remove the "secondary".

Able is an organism from the mechanical plane. As a constructor, it does not need to sleep to maintain its own body functions, and at this time, it is also responsible for the work of keeping vigil like Urs, and by the way, it takes out a magic book from its spatial ring and opens it in his hand, as if it is sorting out the spell slots needed for the next day.

Soros had long since lost the arrogance he had when he woke up, and his head was obediently hidden in the hollow helmet of the machine man mage, shrunk into a ball, quietly.

Dorothy's shoulders leaned gently against Abel, and her long fiery red hair hung down her crooked head like willow branches, perhaps unintentionally, or maybe Abel often instructed her about magic during her travels, so the two were close.

Miss Warlock is the most volatile presence in the team, but also the one most in need of protection, both in terms of tactical and psychological significance.

Her smooth face looked beautiful and melancholy under the delicate embellishment of her facial features, her sea-blue eyes were tightly closed, and she wrinkled a little under the squeezing of her eyebrows, and a drop of cold sweat from the corner of her forehead slid along the skin on the side of her face to near the corner of her mouth at some point, and a murmuring voice flowed out from there: "Dad... Daddy......"
