Chapter 150: Underground Crisis

The changes in the ghetto are visible to all, evil spreads here, and of course wealth is the same.

All the people here grow tobacco, they wrap these precious treasures in spices and cloth, and then their brothers transport them to Skull Harbor to sell, this is a place of evil, and everyone is wary and even nervous about outsiders. Erwin found that the people here had a different mental outlook, an indescribable excitement.

This is very different from the lifeless poor people on the continent of Faeron, they are gloomy and excited, full of the drive to make a fortune and the determination to do whatever it takes, if she is to describe the people here as different, it must be ambition. Strong, hideous ambitions! She felt that the young man on the road had a dagger in his eyes.

The ambition of arrogance is about to overflow.

The daggers at their waists are polished well, and the way they walk is in line with the most basic qualities of a wanderer - dexterity and agility, like a feline, and Erwin can imagine the agility and cruelty with which they stab the dagger into the human body, which is not really imaginable, but a crime that is taking place, and many people are missing here, such as the tax collector and other gang wanderers who have come here.

It was dangerous to walk here, even for Erwin's team, and she had come to believe that the people here had unimaginable enthusiasm and initiative for their evil deeds, and that they were resolute and cruel.

Unlike young people who are just starting out in the industry, Erwin is old enough to abandon her naivety and illusions, and although she has a self-insistence on justice and order, she already understands how cruel and fanatical people can be when they have experienced poverty and hardship. It's not for nothing that the Bloody Hand can deter those who salivate and hold on to this huge profit.

"If it weren't for the benefits, it would have been too lucrative. They have the full possibility to grow! Erwin judged in his heart.

"Bloody Hand, where is he now?" She whispered to the halfling wanderers in the group.

"That guy stayed in the watchtower on the west side all day, and I haven't seen him take half a step away, oh my God! Keeping an eye on him is the most tedious job I've ever done......" Wall the halfling grumbled softly, "but it's heavily guarded. There are a lot of magic traps and traps that I've tried many times but haven't been able to sneak into......"

"He hasn't been here for long, we can storm it!" Jerkassie proposed.

"I don't recommend it!" The halfling interjected, "Then we may have casualties, you know, it's not that we can't afford the sacrifice, and I'm sure we can kill that 'bloody hand', oh my! This nickname sounds like a third-rate mercenary! But, how to say it! It's not worth it, you know. For the evil dog-eat-dog. It's not worth it! ”

"You're right, Wall!" Erwin thought about it for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Let's think of another way!" ”

The vigilance of the Bloody Hand Gang is much stricter than expected. They are not like other gangs, they are made up of a bunch of old oilmen and veteran bastards, who are selfish and greedy, who always do everything they can to cheat and cheat, and these young people are full of energy. Have enthusiasm, sincerity and a serious and responsible attitude towards work.

It's all so nice and sunny. If it weren't for the fact that they had hanged the tax collector and the clerk at the door of the watchtower with such enthusiasm and sunshine, Erwin would have even thought that this was the territory of some kind and orderly camp.

"No, we don't have a chance." Wall shook his head, "They're sure they'll spot us, block us in the narrow passage, and shoot through with that extraordinarily powerful steel crossbow!" They are well trained. Magical items are also abundant, and we can't afford that kind of blow. ”

Wall's expression was a little evasive, and his speech was slurred, and those who knew him well could see at a glance that he was struggling with something.

"Say it! What's the contingency? Erwin sighed, holding his forehead.

"Two hundred feet from here. There is a secret passage that may lead to the basement of the watchtower, but ......," Wall frowned, "it gives me a very bad feeling, so let's give up this temptation!" There's no need to take that big risks......"

"Wall!" Erwin interrupted him and said calmly, "We trust you as much as we trust our own eyes and siblings, but you can't panic and tell us what you feel, those intuitions and guesses, that we are partners!" ”

"Underground, there's something underground! I don't know what, but there is a great danger hidden underground, enough to be fatal! ”

"We're still going there!" Erwin affirmed.

"Why? It's too risky to be worth it! Wall stretched out his hands and emphasized puzzled.

"Because of the responsibility given to us by duty, kindness and justice, we cannot let a huge conspiracy go unattended, and the underground here is not the scope of the 'underground labyrinth'. Whatever the mad mage wants to do, the harpist has reason to know them. ”

9527 patrolled its territory as usual, and underground, the goblins had dug more than thirty thousand feet deep, with at least eighteen floors of the underworld, and even some bordering the underground labyrinth, causing some monsters and underground creatures to sneak in. Of course, most of them weren't monsters enough, at least not as much as some of Chen Ang's test subjects.

But there are always some survivors, although they have been like frightened birds, but they can still pose a threat to the goblins, for which 9527 has to sigh, although the goblins are the most intelligent race under the master's command, and they are also given high hopes, and even establish a small kingdom and civilization, but their physical strength is still too low.

If it is that group of ogres, encountering underground creatures is just the amount of food, heavy armor ogres and ferocious ogres are estimated to be able to chew them alive, and when encountering demon addiction ogre wizards, it is even more impossible to survive and die.

There are already a lot of evil creatures, wailing and becoming experiments of demon addicts, 9527 feels that their weakness is really a loss of face for the evil camp, although 9527 also feels that some of the experiments are really creepy, such as biochemical colonies, multi-person magic net contact loops, brain golems......

In particular, the imitation of the two-headed ogre wizard, the experiment on the contact physique of the two-core magic net. Those hundred-headed giants, human centipedes and three-headed six-armed wizard bodies, are really a bit excessive, and Drow is also a wise creature! The Hundred Giants Priestess is simply excessive!

"The ogre has already produced three of Lauveta's patrons! Sooner or later, they will become the owner's test subjects! Only machines and explosions are the greatest things, and of course human alchemy is not bad, but the Sith alchemy taught us by our master is even better! 9527 sang in a low voice, "More is better." Big is Beautiful" walked along the dimly lit ropeway to the upper floor.

The crystal on its arm suddenly brightened, sometimes dim, sometimes flickering, 9527 pressed the crystal with his right hand, up to 19 intelligence, and immediately understood the three-dimensional words in the crystal.

"Damn it! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! 9527 jumped to his feet in a hurry, "The enemy has approached the master's position, if the master is disturbed." You're going to make me a test subject for the next stage of the ogre! "It has mobilized all the goblin patrols through the crystal, and ogres, beasts, and kobolds have also quickly moved towards the location of the alarm.

But because of their fear of Chen Ang's deep bone marrow, the experimental area where Chen Ang is located has always been a forbidden area for the Demon Addiction Legion and the Underground Legion, and their strength there is weak and pitiful, not because they are not intelligent enough. Rather, a psychological misunderstanding, all goblins. Kobolds think it's a place that's even more terrifying than the abyss.

Do you still need defense in such a terrifying place? I'm afraid the enemy would rather die in battle than go there!

"That bunch of rubbish, miscellaneous and debris! How dare they, how dare they let these things hide in the underground of the city, aren't those nobles afraid of nightmares? The underground maze is scary enough! Where did these goblins and kobolds come from? ”

Erwin's face turned pale as he watched as Jacassie was on the verge of collapse. Priest Horn was flipping the corpse of a kobold, and it was hit in the chest by the priest with a war hammer, and the huge and hideous war hammer shattered its internal organs, and even then, it attacked six standard moves in a frenzy. before dying, dying from the combined attack of fireballs, bows, crossbows and war hammers, two-handed swords.

Its corpse was nothing short of a mess.

You know, Priest Horn's war hammer is enough to shatter +1 magic armor, not to mention that the war hammer itself is a +2 magic weapon, Horn is a well-known hero among priests, although he is not the priest of Karrys, but Nubion's priest is also a good hand who can fight well, and a first-class warrior who kills people and sets fires.

However, the kobold's armor turned out to be complete! This is unenchanted armor!

"No, in the process of refining steel, it uses magical methods, and the design and construction are also very superb, its inner lining is a soft but tough terrible steel wire, the curvature of the shell is very precise, and the hardness is even more terrifying......

"Best of all, the armor is tailor-made for kobolds! And it's very standardized! ”

The team fell silent, of course they knew what this meant, the Faren Continent, evil is not terrible, cruelty is not terrible, dark creatures are commonplace, but having money is the most terrible, which means that the mages of the entire continent are happy to trade with them, representing a large number of magical items and hired mages, those poor and crazy mages, will sell themselves wildly.

The evil creature with money has never failed, because justice is always poorer, the victory of good over evil is just the story of a bard, and the victory of wealth over poverty is the reality of Faerun, here, the god Mannie has not lost.

"Is there an kobold empire hidden here?" Jeccasie covered her face, her pale face couldn't hide her weakness and powerlessness.

"These kobolds are just warriors stationed here, and the status of that goblin is higher than theirs!" Alwin picked up Jerkassie and walked in a more remote direction, "It will take some time to recover from the curse, and that direction seems to be a blind spot for their defenses, Jerkassie, you sit on the Phantom Pony first, we need to go faster." ”

"A squad of twenty people will make us tired, we will definitely not be able to deal with the pursuers, no matter what lies ahead, we will break through!"

Horn used the Prophecy Divine Technique, and failed in the middle of the spell. "I've seen a great ominous situation in the future, a huge storm has been set up in the Aether Plane, the prophecy spell is completely ineffective, and we will have no guidance for a long distance underground! Something must be going on in the Aetheric Plane, and that world is now full of twisted illusions......"

"Illusion, we seem to have heard of it! There are several mages of the School of Prophecy who are said to be haunted by illusions, and this is probably not an accident, we are caught in a great conspiracy! What's in the illusion? ”

"Black Robe of Hylast!"

This name caused the adventure team to fall into a huge panic, and even Erwin couldn't help but lose his temper. (To be continued......)
