120. The Underworld
The underworld alternates between day and night, with only a brief signal sign, and the length of time is only a few seconds.
Unlike the surface world, there are obvious sights such as sunrise and sunset, and sunset at dusk.
In the underworld, the onset of daylight is when the magic stone in the dome is fully charged and emits a faint light, which will last for a few seconds, giving the inhabitants of the underworld a time to adapt to the light environment, and then the entire underworld will be completely bright; When night falls, all the magic stones suddenly dim, and the entire underground world falls into a dim light, and after a few seconds, the whole world is completely dark.
For the inhabitants of the underworld, they have long been accustomed to this alternation of day and night.
The average townsfolk are fine, as the towns are lit with torches and magic lamps, so it's usually not a big problem.
Travelers who walk in the wilderness will start preparing an hour before nightfall, such as taking some precautions or finding a safe place to take shelter. Because the night in the wild is extremely dangerous, and the vast majority of night predators are wandering, you can never know if what seemed like a safe environment will become a place of death in the next moment.
Sean doesn't understand the environment of the underworld.
At least, he had thought he understood enough, but now he was completely unsure.
In particular, the injuries on his body suppressed the use of his abilities, which made it difficult for him to perceive too far away. It is precisely because of this that once it is night, Sean has to seek a safe place with Kane to hide for the time being, which is the problem that really delays the trip of the two.
Knowing that after two days of travel, he had not left the territory of the Tades clan. Sean's heart has gradually become a little more irritable.
He knew that it was a sign of impending danger.
With Sean's current strength and mentality, there are few things that can make him feel irritable, mainly as his strength increases, the stability of his mentality will gradually be strengthened. So for the strong, whim is not a good feeling. Because this often means that there will be trouble.
In the past two days, Sean's inner sense of mania and depression has become a little heavier than before.
At this time, he and Kane were hiding in a cave, with a burning campfire as their only light.
On the surface, bonfires serve as heating in addition to lighting.
But in the underworld, there is no need for heating.
There will be no sweltering heat in the whole underground world, no clouds, no rain, and no sudden fog and blizzards. Although there is wind, it is often not strong, and it completely presents a climate temperature that is like spring all year round. Therefore, living in the underground world, there is no need to worry about the behavioral logic of undressing when it is hot and adding clothes when it is cold, which is also the reason why many residents of the underworld need to spend a long time to adapt to the climate and temperature of the surface world once they go to the surface.
In the cave, Sean is sitting watching Kane draw a map on the ground.
The map has three horizontal underlines, and a few small strokes branching out of these underscores.
Kane said. These three major lines are the main rivers of the Underworld, and those minor lines are tributaries that branch off from the main channels. It is also the source of water for all the inhabitants of the entire underworld.
Sean found that although the three main rivers did not intersect each other, many of the tributaries that branched off from the three main rivers intersected each other, and most of the tributaries eventually converged to the very center of the entire underworld - Kane said that the lake in the center of the entire underworld was the Earthsea.
This is another wonderful place that Sean discovered.
There are undercurrents, rivers, and even underground lakes underground. Sean still knows this common sense. However, Sean found that no matter how he looked at it, the area of this underground sea was obviously much larger than that of a regular underground lake, almost occupying almost one-seventh of the entire underground world. And what makes Sean most puzzling is that the underground world has a geographical limit. That is, whether it is east, west, south or north, you can see a strong mountain wall like a world barrier at the most extreme point.
It is said that many inhabitants of the underworld have wanted to open up new territories throughout history, but no matter what they do, they have never been able to leave a trace on this mountain wall.
Over time, everyone gave up on the idea of opening up new territories and instead fought for the limited territory of the underworld.
The situation in the surface world, Sean is not very clear, because outside the Miracle Continent, there is an ocean. Moreover, the Far North is the outer continent divided by the Orc Empire, the Elven Empire, and the Dwarf Empire, and no one knows what the Far North is like.
Aside from these scar-like criss-crossing rivers, the entire underworld is roughly divided into six regions.
The first main river near the north is the Blood Ancestor River, and the area to the north bounded by this river is the living area where the blood clan has been passed down for generations. It is said that in the era of a long time ago, the area south of the Blood Ancestor River to the second main river, the River of the Earth's Center, was also the living area of the Blood Clan, but now with the reproduction and complexity of the races and tribes in the underground world, the Blood Clan now has to shrink into the living area.
And now this area south of the Blood Ancestor River to the River of the Center of the Earth is the territory of Warcraft and Alien Beasts, which is considered a relatively wild area, and is called the Land of the Aragami by the residents of the underground world.
Bounded by the river in the center of the earth, the land of the arajin is to the north, and the forest of deep knowledge is also known as the forest of deep knowledge, which is the place of survival of the dark elf race. However, the main people who live in the forest of deep understanding are members of the Eternal Night, this party is the mainstream party of the dark elf race, although it is relatively close to the Avengers, but there is still some estrangement between them, and the reason why they have not completely fallen out is mainly because from time to time there are Eternal Nights or the Avengeance Party to change their positions and join each other's parties, so the boundaries between the two parties are very detailed.
The Forest of Profound Knowledge is extremely large, occupying almost half of the middle of the Underworld, and continuing south from the Forest of Profound Knowledge is the most iconic region of the Underworld: Earthsea. Here in the earthly sea, there are some water-attribute demonic beasts, alien beasts, and of course, there are also marine races, such as sea people, fish demons, and so on. They are all over the Earthsea region, accompanied by demonic beasts and alien beasts, and even the six holy blood clans will not fight these guys in the earthsea.
The Earth Sea is the most central area of the underground world, and it is also the positioning point in the cognition of the inhabitants of the underground world.
To the east, the sea passes through ancient ruins, millennial battlefields, and the Valley of Corpses. It is the hill of the wolf god.
The so-called Wolf God's Hill refers to a large hilly terrain unique to the underground world, where the sixteen oldest tribes of the entire underground werewolf race live. And the next generation of werewolf races born from these sixteen tribes also radiated outward with the Wolf God's Hill as the core, but there is no way to compare with the blood clan in terms of the number of races, it is said that this is because in the eternal war, the number of werewolves fell far exceeded that of the blood clan.
To the west, after passing through the Dragonbone Battlefield, the ruins of the Holy City, and the Land of Blood, it is bounded by the promenade on the top of the Throne Mountain. The northwest is where the blood elves are active, and the southwest is where the demons are active.
This is a contrast between two extreme styles: the northwest is rich and luxurious, where you can see one after another tall cities, almost no villages and towns, and the buildings in the city are also extremely luxurious, obviously just a simple family of three, even if you count the hired servants, there are only a dozen people, but their houses look like a family of hundreds of people.
The Southwest, on the other hand, is poor and devastation. Obviously, they are all of the six holy blood races, but the demon descendants are more like nomads. There is hardly any concept of a town here, and there are only tribal groups of various sizes. These tribal groups are all formed under the leadership of the king's call, and the size of the scale does not represent the actual combat strength of the tribal group, and on the whole, the demon descendants are a race that is difficult to define the actual combat power level.
As for the territory of the Spider Demon, south of the Earthsea, it is also in the area after passing through the Southern Dragonbone Battlefield. It all belongs to the territory of the spider demon. However, people in the underworld are more accustomed to calling the area west of the earthsea a spider's nest, because you can see almost every spider you can imagine here: such as the Crypt Spider, the Crypt Ice Bead, the Ghost Face Spider, the Humanoid Spider, and most of the races that are associated with this kind of spider monster and alien beast.
This is the territory and distribution of power in the entire underworld.
But after listening to what Kane said, the doubts in Sean's mind became deeper and deeper.
He compared the map of the underworld with the map of the surface world, and silently set it. into the geographical location of the surface world.
If the Earthsea is the center of the entire underworld. Then this location is equivalent to the trade capital of the surface world. Of course, the trade capital is not as vast as the sea of land, and it is probably necessary to include all the land around the trade capital, and even involve the territory of several countries, but there is absolutely no problem with the substitution of this part of the location.
Centered on the trade capital, Sean thinks that the position where he and Serena started the war should probably be between the Spider's Hive and the Demon Descendants' territory. If the Underworld corresponds to the location of the surface world, then he is either in the territory of the Demon Spawn or the territory of the Spider Demon.
But the fact turned out was that he was in the territory of the blood clan.
You must know that according to the map comparison, the territory of the blood clan is the northern part of the Miracle Continent, even if it does not count the territory of the outer continent, it should correspond to the location of the Northern Duchy Federation or the St. Jolsdi Empire. But Sean knew that in the game world, he had seen the introduction of the underground world, so he knew that the vast territory of the underground world was calculated according to the territory of the two continents of the Miracle Continent and the Outer Continent, not just the territory of the Miracle Continent.
Even if the territory of the underworld is reversed, it is completely incorrect - in this way, the territory of the blood clan is indeed transferred from the north to the south, but the location where the battle broke out between Sean and Serena is also not on the territory of the demon party, but will become closer to the territory of the werewolf clan because of the reversal of the map. According to the map drawn by Kane, the Wolf God's Hill is in the eastern part of the Earthsea, but the werewolf tribe that radiates out of the vast area occupies most of the northeastern region.
Looking at the map of the underworld drawn on the floor of the cave, Sean fell silent.
However, Kane can only draw a rough map of the underground world, and he can't do anything if the map is too detailed, after all, the territories owned by different clans, tribes, and clans will change according to their influence, and the size of the territories of these clans is not static.
"In any case, we must go to the territory of the werewolves." After pondering for a long time, Sean finally made a decision.
He also had an abyssal path in his hands, but because of the geographical differences in the underworld, he couldn't judge the exact location of this abyssal path. However, judging from Selena's situation, Sean speculated that the map of the underworld and the surface world were reversed, so he had to go to the werewolf territory anyway to find out the situation.
When he was communicating with Serena, he had already found out her information, so Sean believed that with the character of the Demon Party, he would use the Abyss Path as a backup channel, so this proves that this Abyss Path must be in the hands of the Demon Party. The only thing he needed to do was to find a territory of the Blood Clan Demon Party on the territory of the werewolf clan, and there was an abyssal path within this territory, as long as it met these three requirements, it was definitely an abyss path to the Void Principality.
As for what to do after finding it, it's just as simple, just open it directly.
"Dad!" The Black Lord's sudden opening broke Sean's thoughts about his next plan.
And the moment he came back to his senses, Sean's brows furrowed, although he was now suffering from injuries that had greatly reduced his perception and needed to rely on the Black King's assistance. But when approaching close enough, Sean's keen perception can still work.
It's just that at this moment, the next moment when the Black King issued a warning, someone broke into Sean's perception range, which was enough to show that the other party's attitude was not friendly.
Without the slightest hesitation, Sean instantly drew his sword.
A sword qi directly broke through the air and swept out towards the location of the cave entrance.
The bonfire on the ground kept swaying towards the entrance of the cave the moment the sword qi broke out of the air, as if a strong wind was blowing.
The fierce sword qi raged out, cutting a long crack on the ground, and crashing into a black shadow head-on. (To be continued.) )
