Chapter 124: The Underworld

Against the severe cold wind, Xue Huan walked for about 20 minutes or so, and this time, he finally saw - a pothole!?

I saw that not far in front of Xue Huan, a huge crater suddenly appeared on the snow-covered ground, it was about several meters long and wide, Xue Huan walked forward quickly, poked his head out and looked.

Fortunately, the pit is not bottomless, as far as Xue Huan is concerned, the bottom is only 3~4 meters from the ground, and he can easily jump down.

Thinking about it, he tightened his hand on Niya behind him, and jumped out of the hole with a leap, he tried to make his movements as slow and light as possible, for fear of causing more serious damage to the girl on his back.

The bottom of the pit was not as dark as Xue Huan imagined, and on both sides of the protruding stone wall, torches were placed, illuminating the entire bottom of the pit.

Looking at these crooked torches, Xue Huan was slightly stunned, it seemed that he had guessed correctly, this pit should be inhabited by intelligent creatures, it may or may not be human.

All this can only wait for yourself to reveal...

Taking a deep breath, Xue Huan carried Niya on his back and continued to walk inside.

There was only a bottomless tunnel at the bottom of the cave, and all the way down, on both sides of the damp rocky road, you could see strangely shaped stones, moss, and poisonous mushrooms that exuded a rancid smell, and there were maggots on the surface of the poisonous mushrooms that Xue Huan didn't recognize.

The further down the cave, the worse the situation became, and in the depths of the cold and damp cave, the smell of decay became more and more disgusting, and Niya even frowned slightly, submerging her entire little face into Xue Huan's back.

Xue Huan's expression became more and more nervous, although it was not noticeable from his face, this kind of dark and silent cave was obviously not a good place.

He tensed his nerves, his mental strength was highly concentrated, and he was ready to deal with the danger that could come at any time...

As you go deeper and deeper into the bottom of the cave, spiders of different shapes and sizes and colors begin to appear around you who are climbing on the rocky cliffs. Their spider legs are covered with fine hairs, and their eyes glow with a blue glow, which is creepy.

Although Niya is a strong girl, the endless darkness and terrifying spiders are the things that are most afraid of a girl, and she is scared at this time and does not dare to open her eyes at all, so she can only curl up behind Xue Huan.

Feeling the trembling coming from behind him, Xue Huan couldn't help but feel distressed, but at this time he had no other way but to continue walking.

Finally, Xue Huan saw a beam of light at the end of the front not far away, but before he could get excited, a terrible scream followed!!

"Who dares to break into the sacred Eldraine Nirub?!"

As the screams rang out, the mutation was highlighted!!

The spiders clinging to the rocky cliffs and hiding in the darkness seemed to have been ordered, and they all became bloodthirsty and aggressive, frantically pounced on Xue Huan and Niya.

Damn it!!

Xue Huan scolded in his heart, but his movements did not stop because of this, he was already alert, and quickly pulled out the demonic gaze from the diagonal burden, he used his left hand to support Niya's small buttocks, and his right hand cast a spell with one hand, and several sacrificial spells were released at the same time.

Because it was an instantaneous spell, almost at that moment, several black spiders were ignited in unison, and the spreading flames engulfed all its nearby kinds.

The power of the Great Mage's spells was so powerful, and with the blessing of the demonic gaze, even if those spiders were excellent Anubal spiders with tenacious vitality, they would still turn into ashes in an instant under the scorching of the sacrificial art.

The precise and continuous release of several sacrificial techniques allowed Xue Huan to easily incinerate those little spiders, and during this period, he didn't even lose too much spiritual power.

That's all these seemingly ferocious spider swarms can do?

Xue Huan was a little unsure, but it was his usual style to be vigilant all the time, he clenched the staff in his hand tightly, stepped on the soles of some spider corpses that had not yet been burned out, and walked towards the light in front of the cave.

Finally, Xue Huan walked out of the bottomless cave, but what followed was an even greater shock...

Deep in the cavern was an even larger underground space, covered with cobwebs, and a huge structure resembling the gate of a city-state stood among the layers of cobwebs, except that the gate made of a mixture of rock and gilding was carved with dense, strangely shaped magical patterns, and in the center of the gate, a spider-shaped imprint glowed with a faint blue light.

"Stupid human, it was just an appetizer, now, get ready to be dinner for the Anubal warriors!!"

Xue Huan, who was shocked by the scene in front of him for a long time, was speechless for a long time, and with this scream, he suddenly realized that at the entrance of the gate, a huge arachnid creature was guarding there.

The monster's appearance was different from the spiders it had encountered, it looked more like an upright spider than a reptilian creeping, it supported its entire body with four spider legs, and its body was wrapped in rune cloth, as if it were wearing a gray-blue cloth robe and a high hat!!

This kind of dress is very similar to the magicians in the human world...

And that terrible voice came from his "mouth".

Xue Huan was about to say something, but the giant spider monster didn't seem to want to give Xue Huan a chance to speak, only to see him wave his huge front paws, and his mouth was chanting runes that even Xue Huan, a genuine magician, couldn't understand.

As the monster waved its forelimbs, a lilac mark appeared above Xue Huan's head, and it was fleeting. Immediately after, Xue Huan felt that his body began to become numb, and he didn't listen to the call, and his speed slowed down.

Curse of Weakness!?

Xue Huan was shocked, and his mouth grew, it seemed that the enemy was not easy to deal with...

"Come out, spider warriors, destroy these invaders!!"

With the monster's order, a large number of spider creatures suddenly poured in from all directions, the size of these spider creatures was larger than those spiders encountered before, not much worse than humans, they opened their bloody mouths, showed sharp and solemn teeth, and pounced on Xue Huan!!

"Hmph, carving insect skills!!"

Xue Huan snorted coldly in his heart, even though the Weakness Curse could greatly weaken the abilities of the warriors and slow them down, it was not obvious for themselves who did not need to expend physical strength.

His heart moved, and he silently recited the incantation, and as he did, he used several sacrificial techniques to ignite a large number of spider demon guards.

It stands to reason that among the several spells that Xue Huan is best at, the Rain of Flames and the Soul Siphon are more suitable for striking a large area of enemies than the Sacrifice Technique, but at this time, the enemy is too close to him, and the Rain of Flames is easy to injure Niya by mistake, and the Soul Siphon consumes extremely spiritual power, so it can only be used as a big move.

Under the burning of the sacrificial technique, the spider demon guards appeared to die in a large area, although they were terrifying and ferocious, but did not show any wisdom, after the whole body was wrapped in flames, they were still close together, and the whole body was moved, several tongues of fire burned a few spider demon guards, and directly spread to the spider group, and suddenly, the dense spider group was ignited, and the fire was monstrous.

The spider demon guards let out a strange "squeak" of pain, and every now and then let out a crisp sound.

"Damn human!!I'm going to kill you!!"

Seeing the little brothers being slaughtered on a large scale by the human mage in front of him, the monster let out a roar of pain, it was the heart and liver treasure that it had spent a lot of energy and hard work to hatch.

The huge spider monster rattled its teeth by mistake, and it gestured its forelimbs again, trying to blast Xue Huan to death with more powerful magic!!

Just then, another voice sounded from deeper: "Creekhill, is this how you greet guests from afar!?"

"His Majesty ?!! King"

The monster stopped moving, and its blood-red eyes looked into the city gate in confusion.

The deafening voice continued, clearly echoing throughout the interior of the cave: "Do you know that you are dealing with a warrior who has been graciously invited by the great master, and you will not bring him to me?"

Hearing the words "great master", the spider monster named Creekhill was obviously stiff, and it seemed to be afraid of the guy.

After struggling in his heart, Crick Hill put away his hostility and said to Xue Huan faintly, "Come with me!!" When he turned around and walked into the door, Crick Hill didn't forget to glance back at the little brothers who were burned to char by Xue Huan...

And Xue Huan hesitated for a moment, and then quickly followed, he did not take back the burden of the demonic gaze, but held it tightly in his hand, so as to face possible changes at any time.

Under the guidance of Crickhill, Xue Huan was finally able to fully appreciate this huge underground kingdom!!

After entering the gate, there is an even larger underground space, eerie and terrifying, the entire crypt is covered with cobwebs, a huge arachnid ceiling supports the entire earth, and its limbs are made into four pillars, which are arranged in four different corners.

Xue Huan saw that there were a vast number of small spiders crawling back and forth on the cobwebs, and they kept spinning silk and weaving webs, in an orderly manner.

"These are Hadonox's reptilian brothers. The voice of Creek Hill, who led the way in front, echoed in Xue Huan's ears, perhaps because Xue Huan had slaughtered a large number of his men, and there was still a little anger hidden in the monster's voice.

Under Crickhill's explanation, Xue Huan learned that the person guarding here was a giant spider named "Hadonox", and this cobweb hall buried deep underground was also called "Hadonox's Nest"!!

Just as Xue Huan was concentrating on visiting this miraculous underground kingdom, behind him, there was an inaudible whimper from Niya...

"I'm afraid..."

The girl's voice was full of helplessness and fear.

Only then did Xue Huan realize that this kind of disgusting place was tantamount to purgatory on earth for an ordinary girl like Niya living in the human world.

He quickly turned his head sideways and gently comforted Niya: "Don't be afraid, Niya, hold me tight, I will protect you!!"

Feeling the stronger force coming from the girl behind him, Xue Huan sighed in his heart...

Walking along the "Hadonnox Nest" for about 5 minutes, Creek Hill led Xue Huan to the door of a giant palace, where two spider demon guards were on duty, and the spider mark engraved on the main entrance of the palace was exactly the same as when he first entered the gate, it seems that this magnificent underground kingdom was built by these spider creatures with intelligence!!

"This is the guest that His Majesty will be receiving at the time. Creekhill stopped at the gate of the palace, pointed at Xue Huan with its huge forelimbs, and said to one of the spider guards, who looked Xue Huan up and down with its dark blue eyes, nodded at Xue Huan, and motioned for him to follow him.

Under the leadership of the spider demon guard, Xue Huan finally reached the deepest part of the entire underground kingdom, a huge underground palace several times larger than the "Hadonnox Lair", the entire hall was surrounded by cobwebs, and the walls were carved with carvings resembling spiders. A long staircase descends to a floating platform at the end of the main hall.

And on that floating platform, a beetle-like creature is staring at itself...
