In the unique darkness of the underworld, they began to search for the half-elven girl's footprints.

The grass here is very dry, and the ground glows red as if it had been scorched by flames, and even in the night-like underground, you can see the glimmer of light in it.

"The weeds here are very unnatural."

The werewolf princess cocked her hips and lay on the ground, looking for clues:

"There must be a ready-made source of water in the basin, as far as I know, no one on the continent has been able to store as much as the gray-haired little guy, and if the water magic can't be used, they have to go along where there is water."

"Master, I'll go over there and take a look, there don't seem to be any strong enemies around here."

The little Lori in black took the initiative to take on the task of going to the most dangerous area.

"My faithful servant, if you hear my voice, find a way to convey this message to her at once."

Xia closed his eyes and tried to give orders to the four black spirit knights.

Instead of setting up a secondary summoner like the Lich, she uses a complex set of spells to drive the Black Elves to obey Natia Vida's orders, so she still retains her master's authority.

This can sometimes be inconvenient, because apart from protecting the Lord and fighting, the Black Elves are almost a bunch of sluggish wood; However, this method has also been researched by necromancers for a long time, and it is completely trustworthy in terms of security.

"Natya Vida may be in danger and needs the help of the Black Spirit, I can't simply give a recall order, I hope this obscure order can contact her."

Xia Yao looked at the low and undulating mountains in the distance, they were like giant pythons entrenched in the basin, obscuring people's sight, so that she could only grope here little by little.

"The plants over there are more vigorous, so there should be a water source."

From time to time, Delia leaned down. Then he stood on tiptoe and looked around, and finally determined a direction:

"In the right-hand position."

The trio moved quickly and quietly, quickly approaching where she was pointing, and then scattered in search of clues.

"This way."

After searching the neighborhood for a while, Sadonan beckoned to the two from a distance.

"What did you find?"

Xia perked up and ran over there.

"Traces of a campfire."

Sadoran crouched down. Touching the ashes on the ground, he picked up a piece of charred wood and rubbed it lightly with his fingers:

"This fire has been extinguished for no more than seven days."

"You can't use fire magic, but it seems like there's still a fire here."

He looked into the distance and said:

"But not necessarily when it comes to the front...... I felt that the magic factor in the air was gradually condensing, and there were not many free elements here compared to the Wolf's Kiss Stream. ”

"They are so bold that they don't hide the traces of camping."

Xia frowned:

"Do you want to deliberately create an illusion here, specifically to confuse latecomers?"

"Think about what they are."

Sadonan began to search for footprints and debris on the ground, hoping to get more clues:

"The team of 3 we met was Monroe, Klein, and the guy with the big black knife on his back. These 3 are all powerful characters, and so must this team of people; What's more, this is an inaccessible underground, so they are not afraid to reveal their whereabouts at all. ”

"Deria, is there anyone in your organization who is stronger than you?"

Natsu asked, pulling the werewolf princess aside.

Sadonan didn't know that Delia was an atheist, and unless Delia herself took the initiative to say it, it was better not to let others hear such a conversation.

"There have been a few guys who have made me feel dangerous before, but I'm not sure of their specific strength."

Delia recalled:

"But I'm sure no one is better than the Lich. That Maurius has a very average relationship with me, and he is already one of the strongest people in the organization. Because the members are all people who do their own thing, they don't interact too much. ”

"Is there a guy like the leader of the organization?" Xia Chuanyin asked.

"There is a person who has never shown his true face, and many tasks are issued by him to other high-level officials, but he never does it himself, so I don't know how strong he is."

Now was not the time to be interested in the Atheist Order, and Natsu stopped discussing the topic. Instead, she asked about the names and characteristics of some powerful people, but as Delia said, she didn't actually know much about those people, so she didn't get any valuable news.

The two of them talked as they bent over the grass to look for it, and after a while. The werewolf princess's eyes lit up, and she took out a withered yellow leaf from the gray grass.

"Most of the leaves of the plants in the underworld have degraded because they can't see sunlight, and this leaf should be something on the ground."

She sniffed the smell above:

"It seems to have the breath of a woman......"

"Let me see!"

Xia took the leaf with a trembling hand.

After much examination and confirmation, she discovered that this was exactly what Natya Vida often used when she used her wood-based magic.

"She's right here!"

Her heart suddenly hung high.

Raising his eyes to look at the surrounding grass and mounds, under the strong psychological effect, it seems that there is a shadow of a half-elf girl everywhere.

"There's another piece here."

Delia pulled out a second dead leaf from behind a rock.

Unlike the whole piece just now, there was a mark on this leaf that had been cut by a sharp blade, as if it had been cut in half by a knife, and only a short section was left.

"Even if the people of the Order use a sword, they will come with some divine spells to assist in battle, and this leaf is not contaminated with the aura of divine magic, but is swept by something like sword qi."

"The place where it wasn't cut was in her hand."

Xia made a simple guess about the situation at that time:

"But Natyavida's fingers can't resist the sword qi, and there is no blood around here...... Could it be that the other party is intimidating her? ”

When she thought of the scene of 9 strong men surrounding the half-elf girl and pressing towards her step by step, she immediately became anxious.

"Don't be in a hurry."

Noticing something unusual, Sadonan rushed over from there and looked at the cut leaves in her hands. It didn't take long to guess what she was thinking:

"Since you said that Natya Vida is a half-elf, then she must also have the hidden skills of the elves, and the grass is deep and stretches far along this underground river, which can completely hide her form and get her out of here safely."

Seeing Xia still looked anxious. Delia took her hand beside her and comforted:

"Don't forget that this is underground, and there are very few creatures that can see the enemy clearly in the dark, and even if some of the human powerhouses have sharp eyes, they can't see as clearly as we do (the Gos werewolf also has dark vision, but she can adjust the light through her pupils like a cat), so as long as she doesn't love fighting, she will definitely be able to escape."

"Keep looking and see what other clues there are."

Xia Qiang held back the uneasiness in his heart. He began to bend over the grass in search of some more clues about Natia Vida.

"Since the people of the Order are here to look for the World Tree, then it shouldn't be extraordinary, could it be that they saw Nana grow beautifully......

In fact, this is what she wants to be.

There are a lot of hungry ghosts in the color, but that also depends on the occasion and the object.

The four Black Spirit Knights were by no means pretty, they possessed more strength than the top warriors on the continent, an almost infinite number of bodies, and a powerful ability to recover. Even if the divine spell had a restraining effect on them, it was not something that could simply destroy them.

"There's blood!"

Delia straightened up.

She closed her eyes. I raised my nose and sniffed for a long time, and finally pointed out a direction:

"It came from across the river, it was mixed with a faint stench, there should have been a corpse, and it had been dead for more than a day."

"Go over there!"

Sadognan could not swim and could only fly low above the water; Xia and Delia took a more covert approach to diving. There were no fierce monsters in this underground river, otherwise they would have to find a way to fly over it and try to avoid the noise of the battle.

"Two people died, one without a head, and the other with a slightly flattened body. Judging from the physical signs, they should all be men. ”

Sadonan was not shy about corpses, he was much stronger than the werewolf princess and Xia who loved cleanliness in this regard, and reached out to pick up the corpse's clothes to check the scars on it:

"It's weird...... There was no trace of being eroded by the aura of the undead, but the bones of the whole body were smashed by a powerful attack. ”

"One of the two men wore a cross, but it had been smashed and deformed; Beside the other was a large pair of scissors, the blades twisted into a semicircle. ”

He brought the big scissors and showed them to the two of them:

"Very few people use this strange weapon, and Princess Blizzard may know where it came from."

"It's Hagen's weapon."

Delia took the curved scissors in her hand and flipped it twice:

"He is a member of the organization in charge of assassination, and his strength is in the middle rank, which is a little worse than me and Maurius; If I want, I can take him out in 1 minute, Hagen is not very capable of frontal combat. ”

"But...... The scissors are made of a very strong material, and I can't make it like this. ”

She tried to straighten the curved blade with her hand, but it took a lot of effort to do so, which made her a little unwilling.

"This man's head is here."

Sadonan found the head that had turned into a rotten watermelon from far away and motioned for the two of them not to come.

"His head was knocked off, and it only took a moment."

After the examination, he flew back from that side, holding a thick wooden stick with blood in his hand:

"If I'm guessing correctly, these people were not killed by Natyavida, nor were they engaged in infighting, but they met ogres."

He threw the stick to the ground:

"It knocked the clergyman's head off with a single blow, and then flattened the strong man named Hagen with a stone, and chased the team all the way down the river."

"Huh? Are ogres so powerful? ”

Delia is also the one who has dealt with such ferocious creatures:

"I remember coming across one in the Parsigan Valley and knocking it down with ease."

"Some say that ogres are close relatives of giants, and this ogre who killed two strong men obviously proves this statement, and the one you meet is weaker...... Maybe it's because of the different bloodlines, just like those wurms have very different strengths. ”

Sadonan came up with an explanation that sounded reasonable.

"Don't worry about it so much, let's follow."

Natsu reopened the map, and was surprised to find that the lower reaches of the river were the place where the markers had been made.

"Strange, did they go into the water?"

She put away the map, looked for the black-clothed little Lori to get it back, and the thunder sword was behind her back, holding the sharp-edged Godfall dagger in her hand, and led to the location shown on the map, and then found a pile of messy footprints there.

The land by the river was much wetter than the wilderness, and even those who were strong left traces of walking, and one of the footprints led straight into the river, as if they had been in the water.

"There are no caves in the ground, and there is no hidden magical space here."

Sadonan and Xia probed separately and walked back with nothing, and then Xia took off his coat:

"I'll take a look in the river."

She dived into the water with her dagger in hand, but Stephanie had not returned, and she was anxious to learn about Natia Vida's whereabouts, so she did not wait any longer.

"There's a hole under the water, and it looks deep."

After a while, she emerged from the river and crawled up wet:

"When Stephanie comes back, let her go down and have a look, the water is no better than the land, in case of an accident, it will be over." (To be continued......) R1292
