Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Dark Regions

"What? They're in the Shadows! "When Gillim received the report from the guards, his head suddenly became as big as a fight, it was one thing for him to dislike that elf prince, but if Qin Lun had an accident here, it was another thing.

What's more, no matter what the purpose is, the elven prince is ostensibly to rescue the trapped dwarven exploration team, no matter what, Gillim can't watch him risk his life alone and enter the dark region.

Gillim is one of the few strongmen with quick thinking among the shield dwarves, which is the main reason why the Dwarven King asked him to lead this outpost camp and act as an envoy during the Silver Moon Festival.

In fact, after he arrived at the camp, he had already considered that Qin Lun might act without authorization, so he had already instructed the dwarven guards guarding the dark area to let no one other than the dwarves enter.

It's just that the timing that Qin Lun has chosen now is too good, some of the dwarf guards left their posts in order to treat the wounded, and the remaining guards were undermanned and couldn't stop Qin Lun and his followers. Moreover, they were reluctant to stop the elven prince in their hearts, because they had entered the dark realm in order to rescue their compatriots from the exploration team.

"Let's gather the next group of explorers, it looks like we have to go early!" As soon as he thought of this, the old dwarf didn't think much about it and immediately made a decision.

"Filar, he entered the Dark Realm alone?" Illistin and Mastasy, who rushed to hear the news, were taken aback, especially Illistin's heart was full of resentment, Qin Lun left her behind again.

In fact, in order to enter the dark region before Gillim got the news, Qin Lun didn't have time to inform the others at all, so he left directly with a few apostles.

However, not all the apostles followed Qin Lun, the female apostles of Rand and Weiss's team, MT, and the black-robed mage stayed in the camp. Qin Lun only had Hill, Weiss, and the thief nicknamed "Monkey" by his side.

Qin Lun's arrangement, firstly, was to strengthen the connection and facilitate the Gillimu and others who were chasing after them to find them. The second is to balance the apostolic power around him. After all, they and the Weiss team are still in the run-in stage, if all five members of the Weiss team are followed, there are no other plot characters around. In case they make small moves, it's hard to stop.

"Don't worry, Master Gillim has already assembled the next group of exploration team, and we will be able to rush over immediately." Lorraine said confidently.

"I don't know what the hell that guy is doing again!" Idria muttered to herself, looking at the remaining apostles.

Lauveta's followers had been in contact with Qin Lun for a long time, and instinctively felt that Qin Lun's behavior this time was a little strange. After experiencing the Durag Tower incident, she didn't quite believe that Qin Lun would personally take such a big risk in order to save a few dwarven exploration team members.

"I've wanted to enter the Dark Regions for a long time, but I didn't expect it to finally come true now!" Mastasha said with emotion that as a harpist, despite her noble mission to balance the continent, exciting adventures and travels are also her passions.

……

"Your resilience is impressive!" Weiss whispered meaningfully.

"Captain Weiss, it's over." Qin Lun responded with a smile, the yin and yang fish pattern in his left eye flashing from time to time, scouting the surrounding environment.

The Dark Realm, the dark world of Torrell, a paradise for underground creatures to live and thrive!

After crossing the northern entrance to the camp, a deep, dark tunnel appeared in front of everyone.

The tunnels are rugged and slippery, the direction of progress is almost irregular, and the width varies greatly. The wide area can accommodate four horses in parallel, and the narrow place can only allow one person to pass on his side.

The stone walls on both sides are covered with a purple unknown fern, and the jagged leaves make everyone dare not walk lightly against the wall, and no one knows whether these plants are poisonous or not. Although most of the apostles had antidotes, they did not want to waste them lightly.

Qin Lun's elven vision gave him a clear view of the environment, and the other three didn't seem to care too much about the darkness underground. Ciel's Psitron bloodline itself is a creature specialty of the Dark Regions, but the shepherd doesn't want to reveal his bloodline in front of outsiders at this time, and carries a dwarven Tyr night lamp in his hand.

The Tyr Nightlight is a piece of equipment often used by dwarves in the mines, the hedron it uses has been transformed by magic runes, the light is in a special spectral region, and it can also emit a smell that cannot be smelled by humans, which can mask body odor, and most underground creatures do not like this light and smell.

Of course, it doesn't mean that holding this Tyre night light can avoid all underground creatures, after all, most of the underground creatures will rely on their extremely sensitive hearing to explore the environment.

"Commander, if there is a chance, will we ......" The monkey asked softly on the private chat channel while scouting in front.

"No, according to my estimate, there is not much chance of using the underground creatures to pit them!" Weiss groaned for a moment, then rejected his companion's advice, "These two guys are very shrewd and not easy to deal with. Our main purpose is to make up for the losses of the previous time, and since the success rate of retaliation is too low, it is not worth continuing. ”

Weiss's team joined Qin Lun's side, originally hiding the purpose of revenge. However, after contact in the past few days, Weiss found that Qin Lun and the others were not easy to deal with, so he basically gave up this idea.

Weiss was able to help Santarin complete his assassination plan, and there was no doubt about his strategy. But he asked himself not necessarily to seize the fleeting opportunity just now, and grasp the dominance of triggering the epic plot in his hands.

Although everyone has a flash of inspiration, Qin Lun's strict thinking during the period made him jealous. Except for Qin Lun himself, of the remaining seven apostles, he only asked three to follow, and the others were strictly ordered to stay where they were.

The first of the four people to enter the dark region, Qin Lun himself had to go, so that the dwarves had to let him join the exploration team. Hill is a priest, Monkey is a thief, these two also have to take with them, Weiss is the only high-level powerhouse among the eight, and he is needed to deal with the high-level creatures that may appear.

However, what frightened Wei Si was that among the people designated by Qin Lun to stay, there were not only Rand, the black-robed mage and the female apostle, but also the shield guard of their team.

Of course, the shield guard was not unhelpful to the expedition, on the contrary, he was even more useful than Weiss. But with the shield guards there, if Wei Si and the others were careful when they were in distress, then they could play soy sauce under the cover of the shield guards and sit back and watch the underground creatures hunt and kill Qin Lun and the others.

You must know that they have now joined the dwarf's exploration team, as long as the task prompt appears, then the role of Qin Lun's plot identity is not so important. Wei Si and the others tore their faces and killed Qin Lun before the characters in the plot arrived, which was not impossible.

Without taking Weiss with the shield guards and leaving Rand, it is guaranteed that the remaining Weiss team members will not be able to lead the dwarven exploration team. What's more, Qin Lun had already made a good arrangement in an instant, and his mind was meticulous, leaving no flaws that Weiss's team could take advantage of.

While exploring the dark region, Weiss was unsure about dealing with such a terrible person. In that case, why risk losing the proceeds of the mission to frame the temporary companion in front of you.

"Qin Lun, when do you plan to join the exploration team behind?" Hill asked cautiously, just now in the team channel, Rand had already reported that the exploration team led by Gillim was about to depart.

"There is no fork in the passage in front of you for the time being, and there is no need for the plot characters to intervene. The attitude we are making clear now is, after all, to rescue the trapped dwarves and find more clues, even if it is a corpse...... Only later can I give an explanation to Gillie and Lorraine. Qin Lun said lightly.

"Corpses? Oh, I see, you didn't get any specific information from the dead dwarf! After a moment's thought, Cille came to his senses and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Well, we just need an excuse to enter the Dark Realm! Whether the previous group of dwarves were trapped or all dead, it doesn't matter to us. Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"If that guy had kept seeing Gillimu, the situation might have been repeated, so I used a very irritating drug to make him burn off the last of his life force, but I didn't expect him to hang up without even saying a word."

The underground tunnels were rugged and very slippery, and Qin Lun and the others were moving very slowly. The tunnels in some sections are unusually low, and although it can be seen that the dwarves have widened them, the dwarves are so short that Qin Lun and the others have to crawl their bodies to get through.

After trekking more than ten kilometers in the tunnel, the underground crack finally gradually widened and heightened, and this place can be regarded as entering the real dark area, which also means that there may be underground creatures along the way.

Qin Lun and the others' vigilance had increased again, and now there was no soft earth visible above their heads, replaced by thick and icy rock formations, which they had initially estimated to have gone several kilometers underground.

This is where the difficulty of exploring the dark region comes in, it is not the surface, the road is not flat, but three-dimensional. If Qin Lun and the others really moved forward on their own, they would definitely lose their way, and they might even not be able to find their way back.

"Listen...... The sound of water is an underground river! Ciel listened intently, the Spirit-Sucking Bloodline had given him excellent hearing.

Hill heard it right, the four of them walked for a while again, and a huge underground space appeared in front of them, and in front of them was an underground river that curved like a silver belt. There was a fork in the road on the other side of the river, and it looked like they had to make a new choice.

The thieves who were at the front came with a message, "Come here, I have blood here!" ”

The place where the thieves were was an underground stream only five or six meters wide, and next to a black rock, Qin Lun and the others saw a pool of dark red blood.

"The blood hasn't dried yet, it should have been left by the dwarf just now." Hill dipped his finger in a little blood and put it in his mouth.

Qin Lun put his hand into the stream, and the icy water made his brain wake up. The stream is very fast, and the upstream extends into a dark hole with no end in sight.

"We follow the trail of blood! The deeper we go, the more Gillim can no longer ask us to quit the quest. Qin Lun said calmly. I1292
