Chapter 370: Cross-World Relatives
Maybe Hao Ren has a limited understanding of this world, especially this group of religious believers, it seems that the bearded man's casual way of finding his way is not much of a problem in the eyes of others, and after he decided to go down, the old werewolf didn't even look at it, just nodded and followed the team forward.
The scale of this underground world is huge, and the big karst cave behind him is only a small part of it, Hao Ren asked the terminal to scan the nearby terrain a little, and found that there are several underground cavities in the distance that are almost no less than the caves behind him, and these cavities are connected by intricate caves. After seeing the images fed back by the radar in his mind, Hao Ren felt an indescribable awe of this underground cave system, and he couldn't imagine how the founder of the Radiant Sect three thousand years ago had found the ancestor of life and the inheritance of the goddess in this sacred cave - without some kind of guidance from the underworld, it was hard to believe that one could have explored this underground world by luck.
The cave in front of you is long and winding, the road is rugged and difficult to navigate, and the irregular stone walls are intermittently distributed with that wonderful luminous substance, illuminating the road and making the atmosphere seem extremely strange. Fortunately, the size of this cave is quite open, and walking in it will not make people feel depressed, otherwise it will really affect the mood when you are bored in this environment for a long time.
Lily walked beside Hao Ren, collecting some beautiful underground rocks from the nearby road and stuffing them into Hao Ren's hands: she asked Hao Ren to take them back from the zΓ i personal space to enrich her Wang Zhi's treasures. At the same time, she also grabbed some glowing powder from the stone wall next to her from time to time, rubbed her hands and studied: "It looks like a luminescent fungus." Not a mineral ......"
"Beware of fungal infections." Hao Ren was a little away from these powders, he didn't really understand mycology. But when I heard that it was a creature, I felt hairy.
"These fungi should be harmless," Vivien reassured. She differentiated a small bat and made this judgment after eating some powder on the stone wall, this test method is really a test of the power of the dragon, and at the same time she also released many small bats to investigate the situation at the forks along the way, and it seems that there are some cracks that can lead to the ground, and the air below this has a slight flow, and in some places there is water seeping down from above. β
"There are fewer and fewer young mercenaries like you now," Elson, the old werewolf who hadn't spoken all the way, suddenly interjected. "The mercenaries of the year were no different from the adventurers, and there were not many rules and organizations, many people were brave enough to go around and go to the ruins to venture in the crypts, either returning with a full load or dying in it, the people of the year were barbaric and barbaric, but what they pursued was this kind of excitement, and now they ...... Scold. set up a lot of rules out of thin air, and made a lot of decent organizations, and even took over the errand task, which is still called a mercenary. It's really rare that there are still young people with such a belly of curiosity and boldness. β
It was as if the scene of exploring the crypt in front of him reminded the old werewolf of some of the experiences of his youth. Elson talked a lot to himself, and compared the adventurer mercenaries who "wanted to be in the past" who had just wandered around with their bloody temperament and the "mercenaries" who were now running errands with comfortable income, Lily couldn't help but be a little curious when she heard his words: "Old man. You were a mercenary back then, huh? β
Elson grinned, revealing his sharp werewolf fangs: "It was hundreds of years ago. At that time, Ophra and I were both begging for a living near the grassland, and there was no difference between mercenaries and adventurers like us at that time. When you run to train, you are an adventurer, and someone pays to hire a mercenary. We didn't burrow into this kind of hole back thenβand now looking at you, I think I was back then. People are old and talk a lot, don't be surprised. β
Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this, he knew the story of the wandering mercenary of the Kingdom Marshal Aufra hundreds of years ago, and also knew the legend that the prince of Halletta, Gatton III, recruited Ofhra into his command in a border town - these ancient stories are like legends in the mouths of the current mercenaries, and Betsy knows them well, but he didn't expect that the old werewolf in front of him, who seemed to be only Obrah's follower, was also a witness back then!
If that were to say, the werewolf Elson, who was Ovra's former teammate, should also be a legendary hero, at least he had been loyal to the kingdom for hundreds of years, but Hao Ren didn't remember hearing the legends about this man.
"Hehe, I don't like to show my head," Elson seemed to see Hao Ren's surprised look, "and I'm not as good as Ofrah, she's an ancient descendant, and she's completely famous for her ability, and I just happened to know her back then, and she lived a relatively long life, plus you're a northerner, it's normal that you haven't heard of me." β
"I've heard of it!" Betsy suddenly reacted at this time, and immediately became excited, "It turns out that you are the blue wolf general!" The first fierce general by Aufra's side! But...... But I didn't expect you to be like that...... I thought ......"
"Why? Thought that the blue wolf general should be an old warlord wearing a suit of armor and patrolling the troops all day long? The old werewolf laughed, as if he thought Becky's startled little mercenary girl was amused, "I'm usually like this, I told that kid at Garton when I joined Ophra hundreds of years ago, and I can't stand their rules. β
Betsy suddenly got up, and said in her heart that it was no wonder that the old werewolf in front of her was dressed ordinary, and he looked like a horseman in the army, it turned out that this was called a master's bearing......
Elson took this opportunity to chat with Betsy and Hao Ren for a few words, mainly to inquire about the situation of this "good name makes the dog" mercenary group, and his reason is very good: as an old mercenary who has left his post for many years, he can't help but feel a little itchy when he sees his junior peers, so there are many things he wants to ask.
After the team passed a fork in the road, and Elson and Betsy finished talking for the time being, Hao Ren quietly dragged Betsy aside and whispered to her: "This Elson is famous?" I didn't know! β
"The fierce general of the kingdom, the blue wolf general," Betsy had excitement on her face, obviously as long as she had anything to do with Aufra, she could be excited, including the old werewolf beside Aufra, "is the first fierce general next to Lord Obura, he is very low-key on weekdays, he does not live in the general's mansion, but always lives in the barracks." Some say he is mysterious, as he almost never appears in any formal setting, except for the occasional appearance as a sidekick to Lady Oprah. By the way, his full name is Elson? Remember, Eben, to avoid being seen as ignorant on the outside. β
"Oh......" Hao Ren nodded, and suddenly reacted after a moment, "Wait?!" Eben?! β
His movement was a bit loud, and the old werewolf Elson who walked to the front looked back at him with a smile: "What's wrong?" My family name is weird? β
Hao Ren suppressed his surprise in his heart, and said that it should be just a coincidence: "Oh, it's okay, it should be a coincidence, I also know a few Eben werewolves." β
When Elson heard this, he paused: "Other Eben werewolves? I am the last Eben in this world! Where did you know other werewolves with the surname Eben? β
Hao Ren was surprised: "Wait...... You say this world...... You're the only werewolf here with the surname Aben? Are there no other Eben werewolves in the world? β
"The werewolf family strictly follows the rules of the bloodline clan, even if they intermarry, they will ensure that the clan surname is 100% disorderly, there will be no werewolf trade clan surname, and the patriarch of the major werewolf families has other clan surnames, which is the foundation of our society," Elson? "I'm sure there won't be a second werewolf in this world with the surname Aben - each of our families has a unique surname, and I'm the last member of the Werewolf Ben!" β
Hao Ren didn't know how to explain it for a while, but fortunately, Vivian had a quick brain, and quickly thought of a reason: "Oh, he remembered wrong, not his surname was Aiben, but his name had the word Aiben in it......"
Elson? Eben sighed and didn't seem to doubt it anymore.
Betsy looked at the situation in confusion, and couldn't help but whisper next to Hao Ren: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, what's going on with the word 'Eben'?" β
Betsy is ignorant of the situation on Earth and has not come into contact with the Werewolves of Eben on Earth.
Hao Ren smiled dryly and spread out his hands: "I helped people find relatives across the world!" β
Since the surname of the werewolf family is unique, the Eben family on Earth is 100% related to the old werewolf in front of him!
However, this matter was not on Hao Ren's work schedule for the time being, he just regarded it as an unexpected episode, and after silently remembering it in his heart, he continued to focus on hurrying.
The group finally came to the end of this long cave, and there was a large open cave in front of them, but Lily, who was running in front, just went out to take a look at it and let out an earth-shattering exclamation: "Wow, oh, oh, the nest of tentacles!" (To be continued......)
