Tick, tick!

In the deep tunnel, water droplets are constantly dripping from the roof of the cave.

Unlike the dryness of the earth, the underground world is humid and muggy, which is very uncomfortable.

Kyle, Dick, and Sillwin walk around quietly, keeping an eye on their surroundings. The footsteps of the trio are very small when they walk, Kyle has the wind thaumaturgy to shield the air from vibrations, Sylvin has 'light as a swallow' to lose weight, and Dick walks without sound at all.

Silent Action...... This is extremely important in the quiet, dark realms of the Silent Realm, and can be quite avoidable of trouble.

As a result, the others (beasts) were placed in the shelter subspace by Kyle, leaving only the three to operate outside.

Of course, the main reason is that the three of them are relatively strong.

Suddenly!

Suddenly the line of sight cleared...... They entered the real underworld.

Dark Regions.

This name is the name given to the new home of the Dark Elves after they were expelled into the underground, and it has been widely accepted by the major powers and has become the official name.

The Dark Realm is a three-dimensional network.

It is made up of some large cavities in the Tegulas crust, as well as the tunnels and dark rivers that connect them, and they vary in depth.

And what appeared in front of Kyle's eyes was one of the hollows.

Now, this hollow belongs to the underground ant tribe, and it is the land of the owner, and the three must be careful not to attract the attention of the aborigines, secretly find an ant queen, and ask for information about how to leave and the surrounding hollow through coercion.

Rustling......

Looking at the ground full of thumb-sized black and red ants, Kyle didn't want to trample too much. Attracted the attention of the top of the ant clan.

So he chose to move forward in the air.

It is said to be in the air, but in fact, it is to hang on the top wall of the hollow with flying claws and flying anchors, swinging forward. And the empty hole of the ant nest is 100 meters high, which is enough to be called in the air.

Along the way, countless giant pillars of mushrooms attract Kyle's attention.

Thanks to the humid and stuffy environment, it is suitable for the growth of fungi. The creatures in the dark areas basically feed on mushrooms...... Except for carnivores.

Sure enough, countless ants crawled on top of the fungus column, trimming colonies, and collecting food.

to maintain the existence of the ant colony.

It's a very different ecosystem from the surface. Kyle looked at the 'ant farms' and was amused.

According to Ralph.

The cavity is on average hundreds of meters high and covers tens of thousands of square kilometers, roughly the size of an island of Taiwan, according to Kyle's estimates.

Even in a barren and dark region, it is enough to give birth to a huge ant kingdom.

In fact...... It's been born!

At the speed of three people, it took two days to be able to see the hollow in general terms.

In the process, Kyle found only black-and-red ants, and not dozens of subspecies with different appearances, as the dwarves claimed.

What's more, these ants who gather food eventually gather their food in the same nest.

This is enough to prove that they are all subordinate to the same queen.

As the core and foundation of the ant colony, the queen ant has always been under strict protection and rarely takes a step towards the nest.

There are hundreds of thousands of black and red giant ants, hundreds of super-level ant generals, and two epic ant commanders......

This was the defense force that Dick had detected.

And the little ant can't be counted, the queen ant herself also has a powerful spiritual ability at the peak of the epic, and her strength is almost the same as that of Reuth before breaking through the extreme realm, it is a hard stubble!

Of course, the queen ant is much easier to deal with than Reut.

Her athletic attributes are very low, her dodge ability is almost none, and her size is also huge.

When faced with the queen, you can easily avoid her attack range, or use city-level spells/rune machines to take her out.

In addition, Dick also found some traces of the dark elves in the ant nest, and went straight to the location of the queen ant, and there were no traces of battle along the way, and the dark elves obviously walked in openly.

That's a good thing for Kyle, though.

Of all the races banished underground, the Dark Elves are the most powerful.

They are a branch of the High Elves.

He is also a lower-class citizen of the High Elf Empire who rules the entire Tynoir, and an admirer of the will of the Abyss.

After the Abyssal Will bared its fangs and completely corrupted Tynoir's Star Soul, the High Elves and the Dark Elves stopped the civil war and went to Tyguras together for the continuation of the race.

And the dark elves who have been deceived no longer believe in the will of the abyss.

But hatred has been planted! How can it be so easy to end? The High Elves didn't let the Dark Elves go easily.

Due to the insufficient number of portals of the Dark Elves, the number of people who came to Tygulas was insufficient, and the power was much lower than that of the High Elves............ Therefore, even in the midst of a fierce battle with the demigods, the High Elves still divided their forces to capture these former compatriots and banish them into the underground world.

Moreover, before being expelled, the High Elves also genetically modified these dark elves so that their skin could no longer receive sunlight, and their eyes were 'blinded'.

I will never be able to see Taeyang for the rest of my life.

This is the cruelest curse for the High Elves who worship Terra............ Not one of them!

But......

Compared to the other races that have been banished into the underworld, as well as the natives of the Dark Lands, the Dark Elves are still extremely powerful, and they have easily become the overlords here.

Everywhere they went, no race could compete with them.

The only thing that can slow down the expansion of the dark elves is their relatively slow reproduction.

Today, apart from the four elemental creatures, the Dark Elves are already the most powerful race in the entire Tygulas, and if it weren't for the 'Abomination of Terra' curse imposed by the High Elves on their genes, the Dark Elves could only survive underground, otherwise, the whole of Tyguras would have their place.

Continuing the tradition of the High Elves, the Dark Elves are ruled by various schools of mage.

between the cities ruled by each school............ Even between the cities of the allied schools, there are teleportation arrays and underground caravans.

For Kyle, this is the greatest benefit of discovering the Dark Elves.

As long as he arrives in a dark elf city, Kyle can pay to use the teleportation array in the name of an adventurer, or follow the underground caravan to leave the Platinum Empire's domination from the dark region and safely go to the Tower of the Stars.

"Dick, go and wait at the ant nest and get me a dark elf." Kyle commanded.

"Yes, Juggernaut."

The trail of the nest is still very new, and the dark elves must still be in the nest now, and when they come out, Dick will take one away.

If the Dark Elves are too strong, Dick will quietly follow and find the city of the Dark Elves.

In a word...... Kyle just had to wait.

After carving a hole in the top of the hollow, Kyle enters the shelter and rests while waiting for Dick to return.
