129. Unforeseen circumstances
The Underworld is vast, so if you are moving quickly over long distances, you will basically use a teleportation array.
This kind of teleportation array is not the magic teleportation array that is now in the surface world, but has been built by the fleeing people since the Dusk Age.
Compared with the modern teleportation array, the teleportation array in the underground world does not need to consume a large number of magic stones as power, but uses another energy conversion that is now incomprehensible as the power to activate, and the spatial barrier formed is extremely stable, unlike the teleportation magic array on the surface that will cause damage to the body if it is teleported multiple times in a row. It's just that everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the teleportation points of these teleportation arrays are fixed, unlike the teleportation arrays on the surface that can be directly teleported to different places through the adjustment of sequence stones.
In the Underworld, each teleportation array can only teleport at a fixed point. For example, if Sean wants to go to the Forest of Knowledge, he must go through four teleportation arrays to reach the edge of the Forest of Knowledge, and he does not enter the Forest of Knowledge, but can only reach the edge of the Forest of Knowledge, and it will take about three or four days of walking to reach the edge of the Forest of Knowledge.
In addition, there are some troublesome problems with the teleportation arrays in the underworld: for example, many of these teleportation arrays are in dangerous areas where demonic beasts are rampant. So if you don't make sufficient preparations, and suddenly turn on the teleportation array, after teleporting over, maybe you will find that there are demonic beasts active on the other side of the teleportation array.
But Sean may be considered lucky.
When he passed through four teleportation arrays in a row, he had only encountered one demonic beast attack, and he was still a lone demonic beast.
Although the Brute Stone Giant Rhino Dragon was huge in size and extremely terrifying in strength, it was also a magical beast with very obvious weaknesses, so Sean solved it without much effort, and there was also an extra meal of meat to enjoy, which made Sean quite satisfied. The only pity is that this kind of monster doesn't have much material value except for the delicious meat - although its skin is strong enough to be used as an armor material, but the weight is also not light.
And after that, it's a safe journey.
When Sean and Kane arrive at the Forest of Knowledge, it's nightfall.
They didn't rush into the forest, as Shaun had heard from the shaman that he knew how terrifying the night was in the Forest, one of the most dangerous areas of the underworld, and that the forest was home to a large number of nocturnal creatures that even the dark elves often shy away.
One of the most famous is the Star Flame Lion.
As a ninth-level demonic beast, the strength of the Star Flame Lion is probably equivalent to the realm of the upper holy realm, but between the special physique and ability of the Demon Beast, the Star Flame Lion is probably an existence that has stepped into the legendary realm with half a foot. Some Star Flame Lions who have lived long enough, or adult Star Flame Lions who are more talented, even have the strength of a tenth-level demonic beast - this level, although it is classified as a legendary realm, is actually equivalent to the level of the thirteenth or fourteenth order.
The tenth-level demonic beast is further up, and it is a terrifying existence called a divine beast and a holy beast. When the dragon had not yet left this plane, the adult dragon was of this class, and the strange mother beast that Sean and Cecilia met in the underground world of the Savage Land was also of this level - the marshmallow that devoured the four-colored holy flame, and the future growth limit must also be this height, but this growth time will take a long, long time, and I am afraid that it will be at least until Sean's grandson's generation is lucky enough to see the marshmallow that becomes the level of the holy beast.
Therefore, after knowing the danger of the night of the Forest, of course Sean would not choose to enter at night - especially since he still can't see the night of the underground world clearly, even if his current strength has recovered to the level of the lower holy realm, he still can't see the night environment of the underground world. Therefore, when acting at night, Sean basically relies on Kane to guide the way, but if he can not get involved in danger, Sean will certainly not die by himself.
The only way to deal with the Starflame Lion is in the morning.
This kind of demonic beast is a rare demonic beast that can move around the clock, but the combat power will be more ferocious at night.
After simply making the relevant warning tools, Sean and Kane hid under a rock block to rest - the dark night environment of the underground world, it is also very important to choose a resting place, because after all, not everywhere can find a cave to hide. So if you don't want to suddenly become a meal for Warcraft and Alien Beasts for no reason, then you must carefully choose a good location.
The environment in the wilderness of the underworld is no better than in the city.
Although the night is dangerous, the city is still protected by castle towers, and with the lights illuminating, there are still some entertainment activities. But in the wild, there will never be anyone who wants to hold any campfire party or something, it will definitely be like a beacon for a long voyage, it will continue to attract those nocturnal monsters, as long as it is not a brain problem or some special purpose, no one will do this.
Even in the wild environment of the Underworld, any rough sleeper will be as quiet as possible and will never make any noise.
Sean and Kane, too.
It was only in the middle of the night, about two or three hours before the daylight of the underworld, that a violent explosion suddenly sounded at the edge of the Jungle, followed by a sky-high fire.
This firelight is very special, even in the unique dark environment of the underground world, this firelight can also reflect the shadows of nearby people. You must know that the night of the underworld will automatically produce a force field that distorts perception and vision, and this force field makes the darkness become a special medium like substance, and has formed a special rule that only the underworld has - this is why only people of the rank of earl and above can see the night environment clearly, after all, the Sanctuary realm can be regarded as the power of officially starting to contact the law.
And Sean has also tried to light a torch in a dark environment, but at most it only expands the range of sight from one or two meters to four or five meters, which is not useful for Sean, but will put himself in the attack range of the nocturnal monster because of the flame of the torch, which is very much worth the loss. The reason why the city can illuminate the surrounding environment is actually because of the existence of those magic lamps, which are said to have been pioneered by the ancestors of the people who first came to the underworld.
Therefore, the intensity of the fire that exploded in front of the forest really attracted Sean's curiosity.
Judging from the figures reflected in the light of the fire, it is obvious that two groups of people are fighting, but the side with fewer people is obviously being hunted down, while the side with a slightly larger number is trying to surround and intercept them, and it is obvious that they are planning to kill them all. The fire caused by the explosion just now seems to have been started by the people in charge of the pursuit, and its purpose is to force out several people who are now fleeing.
Kane glanced at Sean and asked in a low voice, "Lord Zorro, what are we going to do?" ”
Sean's face was a little weird, as if he was hesitating about something.
But after a while, Sean made a decision in his heart: "Let's go, let's help them!" ”
"Help them?" Kane was stunned for a moment, "Which side to help?" ”
"Help the Reformers!" Sean said in a deep voice, and immediately got up and rushed out.
Judging by Sean's knowledge of the underworld, and judging from the words of Dongdu, Kane, and the shaman, no one would usually come to a place like the Forest of Knowledge, so the Forest of Depth has always been the territory of the Eternal Night. Although there are occasional dark elves of the Avenger Party, although the Avengers and the Eternal Night Party have slightly different political views, the two sides are staunch allies after all, and the two sides will never attack each other.
Either the Eternal Night is chasing the Reformers, or the Revenge Revenge is hunting the Reformers.
After all, the Reform Party is currently the weakest party in the entire underground world, especially the dark elves who are well versed in life in the Forest, and they have been forced to have no room for survival, and they have all turned to the ground. Under. The state of the party.
Sean is well versed in the forest, in addition to finding trouble with the Star Flame Lion, he is also looking for help from the Reform Party, and at this moment there is a rare opportunity to get close to the Reform Party, and Sean will naturally not let it go.
Soon, Sean and Kane were officially involved in the battlefield.
There were a total of six people on the side who were hunted down, and the strongest one was only a female dark elf of the viscount rank, and she was followed by five male dark elves whose strength ranged from lord to baron. As the side of the chaser, the lineup is quite strong, there are twenty people, and the strongest one even has a faint earl level aura, but this aura is not stable, obviously just a female dark elf who has half a foot into the earl rank.
The dark elf race is a special group among the elves.
This group is a very typical matriarchal society, with the highest status being female dark elves, and the status of male dark elves is not very good.
This is in stark contrast to the blood elves - the blood elves are always in high positions with male blood elves, and female blood elves usually exist as vassals.
When Sean and Kane appeared in front of the escape route of the fugitives, whether it was the six Dark Elf escapees or the twenty Dark Elf chasers, they all stopped in unison, all of them staring at Sean and Kane with a wary face. To be more precise, he was looking at Kane, after all, the aura of the blood clan on Kane's body was too obvious, and he was also a viscount of the blood clan, which belonged to a relatively powerful existence in the field.
The pyramid hierarchy of the underworld is very strict, and the strength of the higher ones is definitely superior to the lower ones, which is usually difficult to compensate for by numbers.
So at the moment, the two groups of dark elves will naturally maintain a vigilant attitude after all, after all, they don't know what kind of people Sean and Kane are who suddenly blocked the way.
However, this stalemate did not last long, perhaps because the six fugitives were too eager for reinforcements, so the leading female dark elf was the first to break the silence: "Son of Blood, which faction are you from?" ”
"Secret Party." Kane said in a deep voice, his face looking extremely serious, and a majestic aura continued to emanate from him.
But what Sean and Kane didn't expect was that the faces of the six fugitives changed suddenly, and then they continued to rush forward without hesitation, and this time they immediately dispersed and fled. The twenty pursuers, on the other hand, were immediately divided into several groups, as if they had already rehearsed, and each group picked a target and chased after them.
Sean was still a little unclear about the situation, and the female Dark Elf leader of the pursuer spoke: "Son of blood from the secret party, I hope you will not get involved in this matter, this is a dispute between our reform party and the revenge party. ”
This time, Sean heard something strange: "You guys...... Is it the Reform Party? ”
"Yes." The female dark elf spoke, "Those six Avengers have information on one of our Reformers' strongholds, and we must not let them leave alive. …… I know that your secret party has never been involved in disputes, and that the first principle is secrecy, and now that the explosion of the Unquenchable Flame has alarmed the nearby Avengers and the Eternal Night, if you don't want to be drawn into the dispute, please leave before anyone arrives. ”
Sean was stunned and couldn't react.
The current situation is not the pursuit of the Reform Party as he imagined, but the pursuit of the Avenger Party, which is really a bit unexpected by Sean.
But before Sean could come to his senses, the somewhat fiery dark elf had already continued to chase and kill. She was able to open her mouth to remind Sean and Kane to leave here, obviously because of her belief in the reform party, but in the corner of her eye, she saw that Sean and Kane did not leave, she only sighed helplessly, but she did not look back and continue to dissuade, after all, the situation of their reform party is indeed embarrassing.
Moreover, in her cognition, perhaps the farther she is from this Sean and Kane, even if the dark elves of the Eternal Night Party and the Vengeance Party run into them, they probably won't embarrass them.
After all, the Eternal Night and the Avengers are aimed at the surface people, and most of the "kind" in the underworld still maintain a certain friendly attitude, especially the secret party among the blood clans, and they will not attack at will. After all, the secret party's policy of escapism and seclusion is too famous.
"Lord Zorro, we ...... now Do you still help the Reform Party? Kane was also a little confused, and the expected rescue situation did not seem to be happening.
"Help! Why not help! Sean exhaled lightly, then spoke, "We must get rid of the rest of the Eternal Night and Avengers before they reach for support, deal with those six, and then leave with those Reformers!" (To be continued.) )
