Chapter 241: Alive, and Faith (Part II)

In the corridor with blue fluorescent mushrooms, a cave lizard lies quietly on a rock, and not far in front of it is a gray fluttering inchmoth. The protective color on this creature made it feel like it was at one with the rocks around it, but it still couldn't escape the cave lizard's sharp eyes.

It stared at the moth inch, and slowly moved forward to avoid startling the winged prey. After several heartbeats, another step, the distance between the two sides is constantly shortening.

Just as the cave lizard thought it had secured its next blow and was about to attack, a muddy palm grabbed it in an instant.

The palm of his hand directly twisted the neck of the cave lizard and ripped off its head. Then, a shriveled lip reached the lizard's broken neck, sucking its blood hard.

......

"Whew~~~" Villers breathed a long sigh of relief. Crimson blood flowed into his stomach, giving the tired drow a taste of what it felt like to be alive again.

However, this little liquid did not satisfy the desperately dehydrated body, and Willes felt even more thirsty.

There are not a few kinds of creatures underground, and it can even be said that they are strange and extremely rich. As a native of the Dark Regions, Willes knew what to eat, what not to eat, and what only to eat partially.

Food is not a big problem, but water is not an easy problem.

Water is essential for almost all living things to thrive, so most of the underground water sources have been taken over by different races and creatures. And before the city was broken, Villeus was still fighting the Mind Flayer's slave army on the city walls, and after the city was broken, he fled in a hurry, and he had no tools on his body to store water except for the scimitars that never left his hands. Except for his stomach. But it didn't last long.

Exactly how long he fled, Villers no longer remembers. Still, he remembers the last time he drank cool groundwater, five days ago.

At that time, he stumbled upon several red carapace Ant-Men. The Red Ant-Men dutifully patrol the perimeter on guard against any enemies that might invade their home.

Where there is a population, there must be a source of water, and the sword dance master Willes knows this truth.

He relied on his skillful stealth skills to go deeper and deeper, but the further he went, the more Ant-Man guards numbered, and the more difficult it became to sneak in.

Eventually, Villers was spotted by an Ant-Man with gray markings on his carapace. In an instant, a large number of red Ant-Man guards rushed in his direction.

After being sent out of the lurk, he relied on a strong attack to successfully enter the home of the red ant-man. The sharp 'Uno' fangs gnawed through one Ant-Man guard after another, and finally came to the clear underground lake......

Remembering the feeling of the lake water entering his throat made Villers even more thirsty at this time. He had to stop reminiscing and force himself to think about something else to divert his thirst for water.

Faith, on the other hand, becomes especially effective at this time.

Willes silently recited the name of Queen Rose in his heart, praised her, and prayed for her to protect himself. Although he knew it wasn't possible.

During the five days he spent untouched, he had to stay alive by licking the damp rock walls and, like a vampire, sucking the blood of creatures.

But that's not the way to go. Willes felt his body getting weaker and weaker, and his dark skin was shriveled and dull. And a certain pursuer, but still closely followed behind him. It was only when passing by the red ant-man nest that the ant-man was a little sluggish for a while.

Yes, they must have taken a fancy to my skills, Willes smiled bitterly in his heart. That Drow officer once said that the strength of the host will directly affect the strength of the Mind Flayer after the successful transformation. And the Mind Flayers don't seem to care about the size of their population, or for other reasons, they can't reproduce too much. Therefore, they can only rely on this method of increasing the strength of individuals within the race to increase the strength of the entire population.

It was precisely for this reason that the pursuers behind him, led by the Mind Flayer, let him escape again when he had a chance to kill him.

They're going to catch them alive......

Willes swallowed the hapless cave lizard into his stomach in two bites, then rested for a moment before preparing to continue his escape.

Where to flee, he didn't have a precise direction in mind. Should he go to other Drow elven cities and continue to contribute to the underground war that seemed to be going on for a long time, or should he go to the surface world like those Drow traitors?

It's not too late to think about these questions after getting rid of these pursuers behind you. He thought.

But at this moment, Villers heard the corridor covered with fluorescent mushrooms, and suddenly there was a very small sound in front of it, the sound came from far and near, and it seemed that there was a humanoid creature walking upright, constantly approaching in the corridor.

Willes clenched his knives and stood on guard.

With a narrow corridor behind him and a terrifying pursuer that could be encountered at any time, and in front of him was this approaching humanoid creature of unknown strength, the sword dance master of the Drow Elves unsurprisingly chose the guy in front of the opponent.

Half a cup of tea later, the humanoid creature revealed itself in the faint blue light.

It was a burly human! It's been a long time since the situation in the Dark Regions has been tense, but this guy in front of him is obviously not afraid of death.

Looking at the outfit, the other party should be an adventurer, since he, a day-traveler, dares to go underground alone, he is obviously quite confident in his own strength. What's more, the other party must be carrying a lot of supplies, including water!

In the corridor, two creatures of different races glanced at each other, and there was no nonsense about each other (they didn't understand each other anyway), and they flew into a fight.

'Uno's Poison' collides with the opponent's scimitar, and 'Uno's Fang' collides with the opponent's tomahawk. Then the targets of the weapons are reversed, flying around, hitting each other, and alternating back and forth.

Velles was surprised again. He found that Eye, a burly human, could easily keep up with the rhythm of his own sword dance master, who was known for his quick shots and rich combat skills.

Although his state at this time is indeed not good, the opponent's agility is still much beyond his imagination, and his combat experience is also not weaker than himself. As for the strength attribute, it is even more exaggerated and perverted.

After only two rounds, Willes found that his arms were numb, and he did not dare to fight hard with his two knives, so he could only cover with false moves. The whole battle can be said to be the first day of the first battle, and it was completely defeated.

The other party's face was full of expressions, and it didn't seem to feel much difficulty in this fast-paced battle.

Maybe I'm going to call the Queen of Monrose today, Villes smiled bitterly in his heart. I don't know if she will accept herself.
