Chapter Seventy-Two: Beasts

Dark. This is the strongest feeling of anyone who has entered the dark realms from the surface world.

The entire narrow passage was dark and rumbling, the floor was slightly slippery from the water, and there were a lot of dark cyan moss growing on the walls on both sides.

Sauron's night vision can easily see around, but the little Lori who follows him is a bit of a problem.

Dragons have far more powerful eyesight than humans, but their effect on dark environments is very limited, and they are at most the ones who can achieve 'dim vision', which is very inconvenient to move in such a completely dark situation.

The Dark Regions are not completely dark.

In fact, the vast majority of the entire Dark Regions are in a state of 'dim vision'.

Because there will be some light diffuse to a greater or lesser extent, it may be a fluorescent plant that emits light, or it may come from other lights.

The difference in the situation can be understood as a night when the clouds are dark, there is no moon and no stars can be seen, in which case the human visual range is reduced to less than three meters.

This is true in many parts of the Dark Regions, so adventurers from the ground must prepare torches or find some otherworldly items that are blessed with night vision.

This is not difficult for wizards, and an ordinary night vision helmet costs around 3000-5000 kindlers.

Those who have the ability to venture to the Dark Regions will not be short of money!

"Hmm! It's so dark! ”

Little Lori lay on Sauron's back, put her little head to his ear, and whispered, "Haven't you gone underground yet?" Can I keep a light spell constantly! ”

Illumination?

Are you planning to be a target in the Shadows?

"No way!"

Sauron refused without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "About 1,000 meters down, fluorescent moss will appear, and you will be able to see things clearly." ”

Light source.

Light sources are living targets in dark areas, and Sauron knows all too well how much trouble it can cause to ignite one.

Direclaws, monitor lizards, mind flayers, and more.

The creatures of these dark regions are very sensitive to light sources, and the rash use of light magic is equivalent to turning on what adventurers jokingly called 'monster farming mode'.

As you gradually go deeper into the underworld.

Some stone stalactites began to appear on the top of Sauron's head.

I don't know where there is an underground water source nearby, you can hear a ticking sound, and any place near a water source in the dark area is a battle trigger area.

Monsters living underground are bound to be encountered in this vicinity.

"Hmm! There seems to be a swamp nearby! ”

Little Lori was lying on Sauron's shoulder, as if she didn't like it a little.

Wrinkled Xiao Qiong's nose and said, "I felt the wet breath from afar, and there was a smell of rot." No wonder those ugly and dirty black dragons like to stay underground. ”

Underground swamps.

Basically, where there are swamps in the dark areas, there will be obvious light sources.

Sure enough!

Sauron's vision began to glow, it was a dark cyan glowing moss, a mutant plant common in the dark regions, and a mushroom that was a specialty of the dark regions, both of which were quite tenacious and could even grow near volcanoes.

Sauron had seen fiery red moss, near a volcano in the underworld.

The ground became a little wet, and Sauron gently lowered Lori down, then made a silent gesture.

Underground swamps, basically such terrain are prone to a kind of creature to survive.

- "Zedi Bear Man! ”

To put it simply, they are a variant of the virus that belongs to the group of bestials, who have been bitten by other bestials for some unknown reason, or are born with bestiality diseases.

Eventually, he has the ability to transform into a beast or a beast in battle.

The Lulu Meow brought back by Sauron is the 'cat man' in the beast man branch, look at Lulu Meow's talent, you should understand how the beast man's combat power is, most adult beast people are born between 5-8.

About bestials.

Sauron knows best about werewolves, tigers, and bears.

Werewolves infected with bestialized viruses are the most common, and can be occasionally encountered in the surface world.

The rarer ones are the tiger and bear people, most of whom live in very rare areas, and the cat people like Lulu Meow are basically on the verge of extinction.

Needless to say, werewolves and tigers have an innate strength adjustment value of +16, which means that as long as they transform into a power value, they will directly increase by 16 points.

(Note: The strength of the bears in the dark region fluctuates between 27-36, and the strength of the human form is not much different from that of ordinary people, most of them are between 9-14.)

Even a new adult.

Their strength is also higher than that of a strong brown bear!

Huge footprints began to appear on the ground.

About the size of brown bears, these mutant bears are somewhere between humans and beasts.

The bestial virus has affected their intelligence, making the bears' IQ not much different from that of the wildlings.

Most of them survive in a tribal way.

It is rumored that the bears were the product of a failed study of druids in a glorious arcane period, which eventually led to the emergence of bestiality, but unfortunately no one has been able to confirm it so far.

(Note: The bestiality disease predates the Arcane Empire, which has also conducted research on this aspect.)

If you think about the first time you first met Lulumeow, you can understand what kind of creatures these bears are.

She was so wild and untamed at the time!

.................. "I'll go over and see how it goes." ”

Sauron glanced at the little Lori behind him and said softly, "Maybe we can find a guide from the territory of the bear people, they like to capture other creatures as slaves and store food." ”

Sneak.

Sauron's figure had disappeared into the shadows, and in the dark areas he seemed to be at home in water, ready to sneak at any time.

There are quite a few footprints on the ground.

Sauron preliminarily judged that there were 3-6 bears living here, and even the patrolling Drow guards would not provoke them lightly at this scale.

The swampy terrain is a bit troublesome.

Luckily, Sauron still had spells, and as he crept in, he soon saw a dilapidated shack.

and a huge cage.

There are obvious bones on the ground, which can be preliminarily from the drow elves, gray dwarves and dwarfs, and there is no bonfire in sight, which means that the bear people in front of them belong to the most primitive level of Ru Mao blood drinking, and there is no way to communicate at all.

Bestiality has the potential to completely destroy the brain and turn it into a beast, and some people will not even be able to master the ability to transform into humans in their lifetime, and there are very few beast races in the entire dark region that can possess the wisdom of civilization.

In this regard, Lulu Meow is a very intelligent type of beast man!

(Great combat effectiveness, and a very low IQ, which seems more like preparation for war.)

There are some creatures in the cage.

Sauron saw a wounded mutant bear goblin, a dying gray dwarf, and a dead dreadclaw.

All of them are tough creatures.

But for the bears who are infected with bestiality, they are all just food.

Bang.

Heavy footsteps came.

In Sauron's field of vision, a large monster weighing more than 1,500 pounds appeared, which looked like a brown bear walking upright, with a head in the shape of a giant bear, but the body had a partial human outline, similar to that of a transformed werewolf.

In any way, their bloodline level is much lower than that of Lulumeow, which also means that they are more primitive, wild, and threatening.

"A bear man who won't turn back into a human!"

Sauron could only tell the state of the enemy at a glance, because after the other party returned to his own territory, he actually sniffed around, as if he had smelled something.

Wild Instinct!

In front of him are the lowliest, most brutal, fierce, and most inhuman beasts, who cannot be regarded as intelligent creatures at all, but only a beast that walks upright.

"Bearman [Beast Man] (Third Order)."

"Challenge level 10, creature level 12+, and the ability to transform."

"The highest attribute is 36 points, the lowest attribute is 9 points, and the total attribute value is 85-100 points."

"Special Specialties: Strong, Onslaught, Mighty Slam, Tear, Claw Strike, Roar, Morph Form, Berserk, Bloodthirsty, Charge, Wild Intuition."

"Difficulty: S+."

……………… Most of the bears are creatures of the third order, but if you measure them by ordinary third-order enemies, then it is basically an act of looking for death.

Because they have a 's+' difficulty in the third tier!

(Note: A squad of Adventurers with a fully armed class level of around 10 has less than a 1 in 10 chance of defeating it by exhausting all items.)

)……………… (PS: There is only one chapter today, please let Futu sort out his thoughts.)

Momda.
