"It's too late to escape, bed bug!"
Blackridge Doyles collides with the letter tree. This time, the broken and broken Shinki decided to let this nagging guy taste some bitterness, even if he died, the glory of dying.
Bang Bang Bang!
The indomitable Nobuki had given up on the idea of playing tricks, and chose to go toe-to-toe with Blackridge Dorles, and the weapons of the two men kept colliding and separating, and the crisp sound of blows echoed in the open field paved with bluestone.
As if mocking the letter tree, Blackridge Doyles no longer unleashed any powerful skills, fighting with the letter tree for speed and strength.
The two sides fought back and forth heartily, although half of the time had just passed, but the HP of the letter tree was only three thousand, and the black spine Dorles still had close to thirty thousand HP, and it seemed that this time it ended in failure.
Blackridge Doyles' fierce face was just a stone's throw away from the letter tree, and the letter tree could see the folds and spots on its face, as well as a dismissive sneer.
Nobuki gripped the Tempered Blade in both hands, doing his best to inflict more damage on Blackridge Dorles before he fell.
Shinki has entered a state of selflessness, with only the flaws of Blackridge Doowls in his eyes, and fills his defensive gaps with speed.
Dangdang!
Poof!
Like stabbing an inflatable doll, Blackridge Doles' broad-bladed knife pierced Nobuyo's entire body, and Nobutaki's eyes swept to the point that his HP had been cleared, and Blackspine Doles threw twenty-five thousand blood.
Failed again!
Nobuyuki fell to his knees, light radiating from the wound in his chest.
"Hmph, it hurt me. For the sake of your persistent desire to survive, count you as having passed my level. Give me the letter from Grayridge Hamda, and I present it to Your Highness, but I am not sure if it will want to see you. β
Blackridge Doles's words made the dejected Shinki feel inexplicable, obviously failed so completely, and actually passed.
Not long after, Blackridge Doyles stepped out from behind the heavy gate of the Thousand Cave Pillar Nest and motioned for the letter tree to follow him into the Thousand Cave Pillar Nest.
Nobuyoki felt that he should be the first adventurer to enter the nest of the Thousand Cave Pillars, and that everything he saw and heard could be sold to those who were curious, so Nobuyi spared no effort to observe everything new around him.
Behind the heavy and solemn gate is a hall with a row of thick pillars on each side of the hall. Shinki wasn't sure what the gray-white pillars were made of, and they looked like coral reefs, densely packed with uneven frosted surfaces.
The hallway in the center of the hall was covered with a red carpet, and at the end of the red carpet was a stone throne with an irregular appearance and a large strange mass squeezed on it.
Upon entering, it became clear to Shinki that it was a stout and eccentric creature sitting on a stone throne, not of the same race as the usual Greyridge Underground.
The strange guy's two toad-like eyes narrowed slightly, and his tongue full of tumors licked his chin from time to time. Its skin was covered with spots of varying shades, as if it had some kind of skin disease. Its toes are connected by a webbed-like epithelium.
Shinki looked at it for a long time, but except for a short guy wearing a cloak standing next to the stone throne, he couldn't find any other target units. Shinki wondered, no matter how he felt, the guy who was slumped on the throne didn't look like the lord in charge of the entire Greyridge Mine Lair.
γLord of the Underground?γ Anse El
Shinki was sure he was right, and the system suggested that the unremarkable quirk was the lord of the Greyhill Lair.
"Outlanders from afar, I heard you've seen Grayridge Hamda." Ansel opened and closed its wide mouth unhurriedly, its voice low and magnetic, out of place with its ugly appearance. And its tone was gentle, not at all like a lord on high ground.
"Yes, the Templars of the Empire are planning to destroy the Colossus barrier and flood the underworld." Shinki smiled, and replied to Ansel without humility or arrogance, and everything seemed to become more and more interesting.
"The Templars, those self-righteous little ones who never grow up, ahem." Ansel coughed twice at the end, and the short guy standing in front of him waved his hand, and out of nowhere came two females of the Silverridge Underground, who were carrying plates and cutlery, and carefully wrapped a delicate napkin around Ansel.
Then one of the Silverridge Undergrounders knelt on the ground motionless, and the other Silverridge Undergrounder covered it with a lace-embroidered cloth and placed it on its back, keeping it unmoving.
Anse El grasped a steel fork in his two webbed hands, and put the ingredients of the four-legged snake on the plate or the cold jump in his mouth, crunching and chewing, and the crisp sound echoed in the empty hall, making people shudder.
Nobuki waited patiently for Ansel to finish his movements before he dared to make a sound. I don't know why, knowing that the other party is a group of NPCs, and it doesn't seem that there is anything to be afraid of, Xinshu just doesn't dare to act rashly.
"Yes, so Lord Ansel needs to help teach the Templars a lesson. Let them learn the power of their lords.
"I'm sorry, young man, I can't leave the main city of the Grey Ridge Mine for a while, because the bunch out there have been eyeing this place for a long time. Heard not so long ago, poor jungle whisperers? Isabel was killed by you Outlanders, and I want to enjoy it for two more years. β
Anse El spat out those words slowly, munching on the fresh ingredients on his plate. Anse Elle's words made Nobuki wonder if it really existed with this world, and the casual expression and the subtle movements between gestures could reflect that it had some special connection with this so-called game world.
"Then how can Grayridge Hamda get your help, Your Highness." Nobuki found it interesting to talk to this guy, and although the other party knew that the players who were Outlanders coveted these lords, they did not show ill will towards him, which was enough to show that there were some places in Anse Air that needed to cooperate with Outlanders, and Nobuki had to seize this opportunity.
"That's not in a hurry, first of all, I'm going to fulfill my promise and grant you the title of Underground Light."
Unexpectedly, the Lord of the Underground was not in a hurry at all, and he first wanted to confer the title of Underground Light on the Faith Tree. If it hadn't been for Ansel mentioning it, Nobuki would have almost forgotten about this one thing.
The ritual was simple, Anse El muttered, and then sprinkled something shiny on the letter tree standing below. The system then indicates that the letter tree has received the honorary title of Underground Light.
"Aren't you worried about the sea flooding the underworld?"
Shinki suddenly blends into the role of the Courier, fearing for the safety of the entire underworld on behalf of Ansel.
"It's useless, when you reach the Colossus barrier, that's when the idol bursts. I already had a hunch that it was a catastrophe that could not be stopped. β
"Hah, is there anything you can do then?" Since Anse Air is not in a hurry, Shinshu does not want to meddle in things, so take this opportunity to see if he can get any benefits.
"There's something I need your help with more than that." Ansel stretched out his long, rough tongue and licked the delicate steel fork stained with food scraps, and indistinctly spat out a string of words that made Nobuki secretly happy.
