Chapter 280: Clues!
Unlike the lizardfolk seen in the Copperforge Keep, these lizardmen are distinctly underground creatures - their skin is horribly pale with a hint of transparency, armed to the teeth, clad in the skins of various underground creatures, and wizened claws with slender bone spears - the lack of wood in the dark realms makes it natural to choose other similar items instead.
The cavemen, on the other hand, were quite timid, and would immediately whistle their vigilant whistles at the sight of the lizardmen or caravans approaching from afar, so that within seconds, the cavemen, who were busy planting glowing fungi and mosses, would burrow into their burrows in a panic and noise, huddled in a corner.
............
In just two hours of travel, Ron had seen no less than a dozen lizardmen, but they didn't look like creatures living in the area, but more like people or things that came to find something - they never stopped in one place, and even in the face of the slowly advancing caravans, they had no intention of plundering.
This is quite abnormal - aside from hunting, the only income of the lizardfolk is looting - given the number of lizardmen in the second layer of the dark region at the moment, the slow-moving Tim caravan should never be spared.
"Whew!"
"It's finally at the entrance!"
The presence of the underground lizardmen makes the caravan Tim nervous, and the adventurers hired by the caravan are on high alert - everyone knows the nature of the lizardmen, but until the lizardmen's true nature is revealed, all they can do is raise their own vigilance.
However, until the caravan entered the passage on the third floor, Ron's expected frenzied raid did not happen - as for the tall black-robed feathered woman who boarded the caravan in the Copperforge Fort, she was also quite quiet these days, just hiding in her carriage, and never showed her face outside except when she came out to eat during her rest time.
"Gollum~"
The connection between the second and third levels of the Netherlands was obviously different from the connection between the first and second levels, and after three days of descending stairs, Tim's caravan finally officially set foot on the third layer of the Netherlands after three days of descending.
In a practical sense, only the third layer of the dark regions is the real dark areas, and the geological structure of both the first and second layers changes too frequently to be suitable for the long-term reproduction of the race - only races with a talent for digging like the gray dwarves or without access to better land like the cavemen will survive and thrive in the first and second layers.
The bantam continued to move forward, and the light of the torches became fainter and fainter—not because the firelight became weak, but because the space on the third floor became wider, and the light of the torches naturally disappeared into the vast space—not even the sound of the horses' hooves echoed, only the monotonous falling, lifting, falling, and lifting again.
"Ahead is Ogilari, our end. ”
It seemed that this journey was favored by Lady Luck, there were no monsters along the way, and even the road seemed smooth and safe - so another week passed, and Tim Shang officially arrived in front of the city of the dark elves.
Ogilari is a small city of dark elves, with no decent specialties and no too strong force - which is why Tim has his eye on this place as the end of his caravan journey - if it is a larger dark elf city, Tim simply does not have the guts to enter the city - maybe at some point a dark elf family who covets the caravan's finances will grope into the tent and cut off his head in the middle of the night.
Now, however, Tim is able to accept the hospitality of the Brie family, the thirteenth in the city of Ogilari, and even laugh and talk to the priestesses of Rose - thanks to Tim's financial resources and the dozens of adventurers in the caravan.
"You talk slowly, I'll go out and walk down!"
Ron wasn't used to such deceitful drinking parties, so he told Tim and walked out of the Brie family's castle - like most Dark Elf cities, there was a pillar of earth fire in the center of the city to show the time of the moment - but because it was too weak, there were not enough mages in Ogilari, and even the void on the pillar of earth fire that needed to be filled by twelve fireballs only glowed orange.
However, Ron didn't come out to see the city, he let out a breath around him, and made sure that no one was watching him, so he turned and walked into one of the countless alleys of Ogilari - and then he crouched down at the end of the alley and sent his breath into a cave in the corner.
"Squeak!"
"Who's calling the moonlight rat?"
Ron released the breath of the moonlight rat, and after a short wait, a slightly vicissitudes of life came from the cave, and then an old moonlight rat came out of the cave - and beside this moonlight rat, there was another small moonlight rat, which seemed to be supporting him.
"Hello!"
"Is it the city's moonlight rat hostess?"
"I want to find out more about this address. ”
The Moonlight Rat in the underground world is much smarter than its counterparts on the ground, and the Moonlight Rat in the Dark Elf City also has a similar family structure to the Dark Elves, but it doesn't have the dark elves' penchant to fight each other - and at this moment, Ron is in front of the mother of the Dark Elf City Moonlight Mouse, but because the city is too small, there is only one family in the city.
"Squeak!"
"Hello, I am indeed the moonshine rat housemother of this city. ”
"It's just ......"
Lips quirmed, and the old moonlight rat chirped for food—and Ron pulled a small bag of grain out of the dimensional packet and placed it in front of the cave.
"It's a deposit!"
"There's a whole bag of food to follow, just give me the news you've found. ”
Ron's generosity was obviously beyond the surprise of the Moonlight Rat hostess, and she immediately let the little Moonlight Rat next to her burrow into the burrow, so after a few minutes, hundreds of Moonlight Rat came out of the burrow, bit through the grain bag, and filled all the grain into the burrowed cheek pouch.
This was the first time Ron had observed other moonlight rats in the underground world except for the master mother, and he immediately found that the intelligence of these moonlight rats was not much higher than that of their compatriots on the ground, and it was obvious that only the intelligence of the master mother in the entire family was close to that of intelligent creatures.
"Squeak!"
"I'll send the Moonlight Rat to investigate. ”
"You can come back tomorrow. ”
Ron's breath is that of a moonlight rat, and the nezumi body resembles a moonlight rat - apparently the mistress thinks Ron is a powerful moonlight rat, and she communicates with Ron with her chirp before burrowing into the cave.
Ron, on the other hand, walked out of the alley casually and walked towards the caravan's station.
