"The Underworld is truly a magical place. Aaron looked at his surroundings with interest.

He had just arrived in this underworld, and there was still some novelty, but he knew that it was impossible for him to live in this kind of place for a long time.

Because it's so depressing. Darkness and darkness all year round are probably only endured by these dwarves who like to live underground.

"There's no sun here, so what did you rely on to calculate time in the first place?" asked Liz curiously.

The intelligent civilization on the surface of the earth generally relied on observing the position of the sun to divide time at the beginning.

And there is no sun underground, and it is not known what they originally relied on.

Do you want to go to the surface and see the sun?

This is unlikely.

Although they did not take measurements, Liz had already extended their soul power, but even if they extended their soul power to the limit, they did not find an exit to the surface.

"Hey, hey. Tremella laughed awkwardly and said, "Although the adults of the Federation have brought clocks, we are still used to using our methods here to keep time. ”

"But our approach here is more complicated. He pointed to the moss that was emitting a faint silvery-white fluorescence and said: "But the main method is to rely on these mosses, this kind of moss is called silver light moss, and their lifespan is generally about thirty hours, that is, their light generally lasts for thirty hours, and then dies immediately, leaving seeds." After another thirty hours, the seeds will grow again into new silvery mosses, which is most of the timekeeping methods we have here, and of course, there are places close to the surface where you can see the sun, and you rely on the sunlight to keep time. ”

Take thirty hours as a day or a night, and the cycle repeats.

Liz nodded, not saying anything more.

Then a few people followed the white dwarves into the mine.

The cave is not humid or even very dry, and the temperature is relatively high, about 50 degrees, because under the cave, there is a lava passing through, and it is led up by these white dwarves to smelt and forge.

The dwarves all have a strong ability to withstand heat, and so do the white dwarves, so this temperature is nothing to them, and it can even be said that it is like a fish in water, and it is more enjoyable.

However, it is not so friendly to humans, fortunately, Aaron and the others are not mortals, and they are not afraid of this temperature at all, and even for Alian, this temperature is more comfortable, after all, whether it is a demon or a devil, they are creatures that like flames.

At this moment, the outside of this small city was already full of people, and most of these white dwarves were as worried as the white fungus at the beginning, but after seeing Yalian and the others, a glimmer of hope began to rise in their hearts.

These days, their hearts are full of fear from the horror of the virus.

The population of the Yinlai World is not large, and even the White Dwarves, the rulers of this world, do not exceed one million when they add up all the old and weak women and children.

Coupled with the lack of living resources, these white dwarves are extremely scattered, generally speaking, there can be 3,000 people in a small city, which is considered a metropolis in this world.

At present, this small city, because it is the starting point of the federation to transport various materials, has a population of more than 5,000, and it is already one of the largest cities in the world.

As if they had entered a kindergarten, the five of Aaron, Liz, Joshua, Simon, and Victor entered the city surrounded by many white dwarves who were only about one meter tall.

Several people looked around and spoke to each other.

"What a barren world. Simon couldn't help but complain, looking a little disappointed.

The reason why they took on this task was to come and relax, but looking at the oppressive environment and barren living conditions around them, it was not a place to relax and enjoy themselves.

Fortunately, they had already thought of it before they arrived, otherwise their faces would definitely be very ugly at this time.

Yalian shook his head and said, "We were originally trainees participating in the training, how could the Federation give us the task of real pleasure, I think it's already good, at least compared to the previous task, this task is not so dangerous...... bar. ”

"Captain~" Liz looked at Yalian with a resentful expression, and the last word completely broke the only trace of comfort in her heart.

Although he knew that Aaron was telling the truth, and no matter what world he was, he couldn't underestimate it, but he finally had an excuse to deceive himself, and as a result, he was exposed by others, which was really uncomfortable.

Aaron smiled, his eyes swept around, and he pointed to the people around him: "Look, many people here are missing part of their bodies. ”

"Captain, you're too blunt in your conversation. Said so, but Liz still looked in the direction of Aaron's finger: "Hey, really, what's going on?"

These white dwarves surrounded the outermost area, obviously excluded and disgusted by the rest of the white dwarves, and there was no reason for anyone to stand with them.

These white dwarves are all mutilated, some have no arms, some have no legs, and some have no noses and ears, as if they have been artificially cut off.

Simon and the three of them naturally noticed these rather eye-catching white dwarves, and several of them stopped and cast suspicious glances at the white fungus leading the way in front.

Tremella also noticed it, and couldn't help but sigh at the moment, and said: "These people are the ones who were injured by those metalized clansmen, and they survived because they cut off that part of the flesh and blood in time." ”

As he spoke, a strange emotion began to appear in his eyes: "They are still lucky, more people have become that kind of metal monster because they don't know that they are injured or can't be ruthless." ”

The old patriarch was in a low mood, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head, as if he was desperate for the current situation.

"Are they the only ones?" asked Aaron as he looked at it.

"Yes. Whitefungus nodded, and said with some concern: "But they have all been infected with this toxin, but they haven't completely turned into metal monsters, and they haven't lost their minds, so they were locked up by us alone." ”

Hearing that there were also white dwarves in the mutation period, Aaron immediately said, "Then take us to see it." ”

"Okay. Tremella immediately changed direction and walked in the other direction.

The metalized white dwarves were on the edge of the city, but not far from where they were, so they quickly reached their destination.

Inside a magnificent stone house, rows of figures of about one meter stand in the center of the stone house.

Without exception, all of them were pale, frightened and overwhelmed, like terminally ill patients in the hospital waiting to die.

Their bodies were locked with a special kind of underground vine, so tightly bound that they could not move a finger.

Around these people, there were also rows of heavily armed white dwarves, who were firmly staring at these people at the moment.

It is conceivable that once someone loses their mind and turns into a metal monster, even if these people can't bear it, they will not hesitate to swing the blade in their hands for the safety of the tribe.

Seeing the arrival of Tremella and the others, these people immediately made way of a passage.

"Adults, they're the last people in our tribe to mutate. Whitefungus sighed, her straight back suddenly became rickety, the cane in her hand was no longer just an ornament, and she pointed to the strange white dwarves in front of her who were bound with vines.
