Chapter 36: Infiltration
"I didn't expect the underground world to have such a beautiful and spectacular scenery!"
The dark moonflowers on the plain of Parker are dotted with stars, undulating with the breeze, which reminds Xu Mo of the wonderful night scene of the Aegean Sea.
"That must be the Captive's City of Parnascens!" Yi Yun said, pointing to the hazy towers in the distance.
"Well, that main tower is the seat of the Family Council. However, the status of the three plot leaders we captured is too low, and they don't know if those family patriarchs are still imprisoned in the tower by the two top teams. Athena said calmly.
"You stay here, I'll go and find out, pay attention to concealment!" Xu Mo said in a deep voice.
"My lord, do you want me to come with you, the light here is too dim!" Wood said worriedly.
"No, I can't see much far, though. However, with my stealth, those dark elves are hard to detect, and too many people are bad! Xu Mo shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will keep in touch with you, in case I need your cover, I will speak!" ”
Xu Mo's figure disappeared in place, and the words that had not yet dissipated were getting farther and farther away. The hazy starlight of the Dark Moon guides the Shadow Dancer towards the towers in the distance.
Coming to the vicinity of Panasimus City, Xu Mo realized that he had underestimated the scale of this dungeon. Perhaps due to the lack of light underground, a closer look at Parnasins reveals that each of these towers is so large that it is almost impossible to see the top from the bottom.
"At least more than 200 meters!"
Xu Mo was slightly distracted, even in the earth world, these towers were not inferior to skyscrapers.
In fact, Xu Mo didn't know that due to the special geographical environment, the drow's dungeon was different from the surface city of the Alberon world. Each city of the Dark Elves is equivalent to a whole country.
In terms of individual power, Drow is at the bottom of the biological chain. The wilderness of the underworld is full of dangers, and no drow can survive alone in the wild. Thus, there are no villages and small towns in the society of Drow, and the city is the state.
The Panasines are in the shape of a six-pointed star, and the outermost tower is not inhabited, but is an arrow tower responsible for defense. Each tower is divided into several floors, and a huge magic eye is suspended on the top of the tower.
The Vigilant MONOCULUS is an artificial creature with a magic hedron in its body, and is one of the few precious magical devices in the dungeon. The MONOCULUS is able to feed back the received scenery images to the tower, and Drow, who is in charge of vigilance, is able to monitor anomalies in the small half of the Parker Plains through the MONOCULUS.
Parnasins was surrounded by large bluestone masonry floors, and although there was no hazy glow of the Dark Moonflower, there were huge bonfires at intervals. These campfires are certainly not meant for lighting, but are meant to deter wild creatures from entering the dungeons.
Xu Mo carefully stepped on the rocky ground under his feet, approaching the towers on the outskirts of the city step by step. He wasn't worried that MONOCULUS would observe his tracks, but that he was worried about triggering traps on the ground.
From the information provided by the three Drow captives, it is known that there are many insidious designs beneath this rocky ground. If you don't pay attention to the mechanism, I'm afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of the guards and cause great trouble to his next actions.
Passing through the outer traps without danger, Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and rested against the stone wall of an arrow tower. A cool feeling came into his body from the stone wall behind him, and the young man couldn't help but feel refreshed, and suddenly his face showed a trace of surprise.
"Obsidian!" Xu Mo pressed his palm against the stone wall of the arrow tower, and the information from the soul mark surprised him.
This black stone turned out to be a rare magic material, which can strengthen the mental concentration of mages and increase the speed of spell casting. For reincarnators, it can even affect the recovery speed of energy value.
The Dark Elves use obsidian quartz as a building material for their towers, due to the stone's magical resistance. Due to the frequent change of power in the dungeon family, many important buildings use obsidian as a building material. Avoid the irreparable damage to the city in the civil war.
"There are really a lot of special treasures, but it's a pity that the purity is a little lower!" A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Mo's eyes.
"Stomp, stomp!" The footsteps of the dungeon patrol sounded in Xu Mo's ears.
With a glint in his eyes, Xu Mo quietly walked out of the shadows and stood in front of the patrol.
The drow patrol in front of him was three men and one beast, all three dark elves, with scimitars at their waists, quivers on their shoulders, and horned bows in their hands. One of the elves led a two-headed hound.
The two-headed hound of the Underworld, legend has it that he is a close relative of the Three-Headed Dog of Hell. The Three-Headed Hellhound comes from one of the many realms of Alberon, creatures of the Abyssal World.
This two-headed hound is huge, reaching the chest of its owner at the top of his shoulder. The four eyes on both heads shone with a dark green fierce light, and the sharp fangs of the knife were exposed outside the lips. It doesn't look like a canine, but rather a two-headed saber-toothed tiger.
The three Drow ignored Xu Mo, who was close at hand, and chatted casually, apparently not seeing through the shadow dancer's stealth. However, there was a hint of confusion in the fierce eyes of the two-headed hound, and the two dog heads looked around, and the huge dog's nose shook again and again.
Xu Mo's heart moved, his toes tapped, and he stepped back. It wasn't until he withdrew more than a dozen steps that the two-headed hound stopped moving, shook its head, and stopped probing for its bewildered strange senses.
"Eight meters! This beast can sense my presence at about eight meters! Xu Mo looked at the three people and one beast in the distance in disbelief.
The young man secretly felt a hint of happiness in his heart, fortunately he didn't let Chenyan and the others follow, otherwise, this operation would definitely fail!
Sensing that the patrol team could not see through his stealth, Xu Mo began to venture into the interior of the dungeon with confidence and boldness. However, after walking for a while, the young man felt a trace of surprise in his heart again.
The dungeons are still well guarded, the city is in order, and there is no post-coup tension.
Xu Mo frowned slightly, the three dark elf captives all belonged to the Saldardo family, but they didn't know the news from the high-level, they just followed the orders of the family council and obeyed the command of the two top teams. If his judgment was wrong, and the order to exterminate the forces on the surface was indeed the ruler of the dungeon, rather than the intervention of the reincarnation, then the combined team would really be wiped out this time.
Xu Mo shook his head and quickly overturned his suspicions. There should not be such a big mistake in the guidance task of the five major spaces, even if the five major spaces make a mistake in predicting the direction of the plot, then they will make up for this mistake, and it is impossible to sit back and watch the two top teams have such a big plot advantage.
The current inaction of the five major spaces shows that this kind of plot advantage is won by the two top teams themselves, and the superstring space cannot interfere.
Although he knew that the probability of his mistake was very small, Xu Mo still had a trace of anxiety in his heart, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and run towards the central tower of the dungeon. It is the seat of the dungeon's supreme governing body, the House Council. Once you get there, you should be able to get all the answers.
Xu Mo's ten-finger fingertips oozed liquid infernal black flames, climbing up the central tower of Parnasins like a gecko. The tower was hundreds of meters high, and after a long time, a slight tingling sensation came from the young man's fingertips.
His injuries have not completely healed, although the functional damage to the internal organs has basically recovered, but the muscle tissue has not completely grown, and the state of the law body is only 80% of the peak at most.
Contact with the mushroom territory was not severed, and Shepis did not rush them to act, and rarely even contacted them during this time. However, Xu Mo knew that their situation was by no means as peaceful as it seemed, and it was possible that they had already suffered heavy casualties. Otherwise, with Shepbys's character, he would definitely inquire about their progress every once in a while.
Grabbing the eaves of the tower's outward extension, Xu Mo lightly jumped onto the windowsill on the top floor of the tower and looked in. Of the floors below that he could explore, he didn't see any female elves who looked like the upper floors of the dungeon, and this was the last floor. If he doesn't get any more results, I'm afraid he will have to find someone to "consult".
Through the glass window of the tower, Xu Mo saw the interior of the top floor, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
It was a large conference hall surrounded by twelve giant stone pillars, and the walls were covered with numerous battle reliefs of the Dark Elves. At the base of the stone pillar is a bright Crystal Fire Furnace, and there are six seats in the middle of the field.
The six seats are divided into two rows, left and right, arching the throne in the middle. There is a corridor portal to the left and right at the back of the hall, and I don't know where it leads.
Around the portal, there were more than a dozen dark elf guards standing as statues, and judging from the family crests on the bodies of these guards, they belonged to the same dark elf family as the three captives captured by Xu Mo.
"Looks like we've found a place!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Mo's mouth, and his hands slammed into the glass window, and his whole body was covered with a white glow like pinprips. Bai Mang only flashed, and a pitch-black spatial crack opened in front of the young man, completely engulfing his body.
"Ghost Walk!" Xu Mo's body disappeared in an instant, the glass window was intact, and in front of the corridor door at the back of the hall, a breeze blew gently.
