In the dark cavern, except for the slight sound of the soft flesh pads under the feet of the red lizard stepping on the rocky cliffs, only the sound of water droplets flickering far and near was the slight sound in everyone's ears.

In this stalactite cave, the underground river flows with a slightly cold breath from nowhere.

In a line of red lizard knights.

The floating magic carpet was eye-catching.

Xu Nan sat alone in the center of the magic carpet, bored browsing the forums, chatting with the vast number of warlock buddies about the techniques of how to become more handsome - in fact, apart from this work, he could only study the secrets of God's alchemy at most.

As a warlock, everyday life is so boring.

The beautiful girl berserker Lilac followed Xu Nan step by step.

The stamina she showed was truly impressive.

Even if the red lizard riders were moving at full speed, she would be able to keep up.

Originally, Xu Nan also wanted her to ride a red lizard, but Lilac just refused.

She was going to stay by Xu Nan's side, and claimed that this was the arrangement of the city hall.

So Xu Nan kindly invited her to sit on the magic carpet together, after all, although the magic carpet is not big, it can also accommodate the next two people.

But Lilac didn't know if it was out of shyness or what he wanted, so he still refused.

In fact, since her departure, she has basically not spoken except for looking at Xu Nan with a peach blossom on her face.

If he hadn't seen her speak, Xu Nan would even suspect that this girl was a mute.

However, after experiencing so many things, Xu Nan has already seen through many things.

And in the Psychic Vision, he could see that Lilac's worship and admiration for himself were all off the charts.

This kind of situation of being too excited to see an idol, Xu Nan expressed his understanding.

The best way to deal with it is to let her go.

As long as you exercise restraint on your own, you'll be fine.

And in the team, the person who seems not so harmonious, except for the maid Lilac, who is armed with a two-handed giant axe, is the scholar Dillan.

He was also invited by Xu Nan to sit on the magic carpet, but only in the corner.

Although the magic carpet is stable, the underground roads are rough and varied, and they march very fast, so bumps and bumps are inevitable after all.

After three days, Dillan had several more scars on his head.

However, Dillan is very restrained in this regard.

This made Xu Nan a little unexpected.

This arrangement, of course, was deliberate on his part.

He had always believed Dillan's words, and there was a big question mark over whether the trip would be peaceful.

But along the way, Dillan's performance is quite normal.

He didn't say much, and every time Xu Nan suddenly asked, he could answer calmly.

It seems seamless.

But in Xu Nan's opinion, the more seamless the answer, the more problematic it is.

Regarding this chief scholar of Ice Saw Valley, Xu Nan already had a guess in his heart.

I believe that in the next trip, these speculations should be confirmed one by one.

"It's almost time, it's time to set up camp."

Xu Nan on the magic carpet closed the Paradise Lost forum and stretched lazily.

Although this posture is not deliberately sultry, it can be called amorous.

The red lizard knights who provoked a few more bloody lizard knights couldn't help but look at them a few more times, at the cost of being glared back viciously by Lilac.

The knights knew that they were at a loss, so they didn't say a word, and went to camp according to Xu Nan's order.

The path to the underground cavern becomes extremely narrow as it enters the rocky areas of the northern and central parts of the Dark Realm.

This is where the roads are the most complicated, and even the most experienced underground miners can get lost in this area.

Xu Nan spread out the map provided by Deerlen, compared it with the hand-drawn map he bought from the Lost Paradise Internal Market, and quickly circled three locations.

If nothing else, the next three locations are the first half of the trip.

The distance between Anonymous City and Icesaw Valley is actually not that far.

But according to Dillan, after the Battle of Icesaw Valley, the bridge north of the Maelstrom broke, and large underground caverns collapsed due to an earthquake and became impassable.

They can only take a long detour.

For now, they had to go all the way south, forcing their way through the rocky areas where underground caravans didn't know how to go.

As soon as they could get out of the rocky area, they completed the first half of the journey.

But the rocky area is not so easy.

Getting lost is the number one problem.

The three locations circled by Xu Nan are the second problem.

The three locations are:

Cross portrait group.

Sun pit.

Blue Silk Spider Cave.

……

All three of these locations are the most dangerous areas in the Rocks - this is the lesson learned from countless underground caravans trying to shed blood through the Rocks!

The first is the Blue Silk Spider Cave, which, as the name suggests, is the territory of the Blue Silk Spider.

These evil underground creatures have divine blood, and some scholars believe that they are related to the children of the gods.

This monster has a terrifying life force that is almost impossible to kill, and also acts in groups, often hunting large carnivores underground.

Even adult dragons are afraid of swarms of blue silk spiders!

According to the information found by Xu Nan, this kind of blue silk spider is all level 14 monsters, but considering the social living and special bloodline resistance, even a group of fourth-order professionals may not be able to easily repel these spiders.

Although the Red Lizard Knights are the elite trained by Scurry, with an average level of 14, they may not be able to please the Blue Silk Spider.

The sun crater and the cross portrait group are more eerie.

The Sun Cit is a large basin area that is said to have been smashed by a sun in the primeval era.

The heat is so hot that there are rumors that there are traces of fire demons here.

Xu Nan deduced that this place might be connected to some abyss world, so there would be a figure of the fire demon.

The Baro Flame Demon is an existence that is enough to fight against the ancient gods.

Even if it's just a projection, it's not something that ordinary people can fight against.

And the cross figure group is even more weird.

It is a group of stone statues located in an underground space.

From a bird's-eye view, the entire group of stone statues can be seen to be in the shape of a large cross composed of countless small crosses arranged in stone statues.

And these stone statues are half-faced, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and cold eyes, as if staring into the distance.

Once a caravan passed through the stone statues when they heard some strange call.

There are records of caravans disappearing in the Stone Statues.

There are also people who pass unharmed.

The cruciferous group has a long history, and there are hardly any monsters in the vicinity, and it seems that even those evil beings know the mystery of this area and dare not approach it.

"So, you're showing me a path to death?"

Sitting on the magic carpet, Xu Nan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Dillan immediately sneered:

"In fact, the only real threat should be the Blue Silk Spider Cave."

"As far as I know, the Fire Demon Projection has not appeared in the Sun Pit for a long time, he appeared in the Sun Pit before to find a treasure lost in the Abyss World, and now that the treasure has been snatched by another person, there is no need for him to waste his strength."

"As for the cross portrait group, I think most of it is a false rumor, let's go faster and be fine."

Regarding Dillan's analysis, Xu Nan just wanted to report the word hehe.

"Can't you just change the route?"

"Although our goal is Icesaw Valley, we can also walk on the ground."

Xu Nan looked at the map of the underground world, and suddenly said:

"You see, let's go up from here, there's a road to the surface, go around the rocky area, and then go to Icesaw Valley......"

Xu Nan followed the map and quickly drew a brand new path.

This road is equivalent to going around from the ground to the surface.

But the good thing is that you can perfectly avoid these three terrible places.

Dillan frowned, seeming a little reluctantly:

"But...... That would be a waste of time. ”

Xu Nan closed the map directly:

"So it was decided."

"Let's go to the surface first!"

Naturally, the Red Lizard Knights cheered at the news.

They were originally all Ice Plains people, and it was normal for them to stay in the dark underground world for a long time, and yearn for the sun.

It's okay in the Anonymous City, after all, there is a 24-hour supply of artificial daylight.

But in the past few days since they left the Anonymous City, they have been battling the darkness all the time.

Some knights have psychological problems.

They became suspicious.

Someone has developed auditory hallucinations.

Others believe that there are monsters hiding in the dark.

That is, Xu Nan's charm was placed there, constantly calming their minds through some small spells, otherwise they would have collapsed a long time ago.

Many times, it is not monsters and traps that kill a team of adventurers in the underworld, but the boundless darkness and silence.

At this time, what every adventurer is fighting against is actually his own heart.

Only the heart is strong enough to resist the erosion of this endless darkness.

Xu Nan has always felt that he is not a guy with a strong heart.

But he didn't feel any discomfort during this journey.

It was only then that he came to his senses.

It turned out that under the training of Ron Warlock's bloodline mission, he had unknowingly become a character with a big heart......

In these four words, Xu Nan has always felt that it is the excellent quality of others.

But now, he felt that he was slowly getting closer to this realm.

"Sure enough, after coming to the other world, I can be considered to have made rapid progress......

Xu Nan secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

It's a pity that compared to those geniuses and perverts, he is still a younger brother.

But he wasn't discouraged.

The profession of a warlock is full of possibilities.

Maybe one day he'll suddenly wake up?

When the time comes, punching Jiang Yuanchi and kicking Qin Lele is not beautiful?

Thinking of this, Xu Nan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lilac glanced at Xu Nan with some confusion.

Dillan grabbed the magic carpet nervously, and his ass subconsciously moved to the side.

……

Day 7.

When the first rays of sunlight shone through the hole, everyone's first reaction was to jump in excitement.

If it weren't for Xu Nan's advice to let them wear the sunglasses they had prepared in advance before going out, they would have been dizzy from the strong sunlight - walking underground for a long time, human eyes have adapted to the darkness, and they are exposed to strong light again, and they are very vulnerable to permanent trauma.

Xu Nan knew this, so he gave everyone sunglasses before leaving.

And the moment the sunglasses were taken out, Dillan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xu Nan meaningfully.

Obviously, the diversion of the surface is not Xu Nan's temporary plan.

In response, Dillan chose to remain silent.

The two of them each have their own ghosts, but they signed a contract to go to Ice Saw Valley together, and at this time they can only pretend that they can't see each other's small operations.

Leaving the underground, Xu Nan felt much more relaxed.

There is no dense vegetation near the entrance to the cave, which indicates that the road is often walked.

Judging by the footprints near the entrance of the cave, it is believed that it is a caravan traveling between the surface and the underworld.

There are not many caravans of this kind, and most of them are escorted by powerful adventurers from the Northern Continent.

There is a huge difference in the demand for goods from the surface and the underworld, enough for such a caravan to travel once a year and eat for three years.

So it's not unusual to have two or three teams willing to venture underground.

What is strange is that after Xu Nan and the others left the cave, they found that the vegetation around here had been very badly damaged!

And not artificially!

On all kinds of trees, there are traces of rodent gnawing.

And plants such as bushes and turf are left with no roots left!

"What's going on?"

"Ratstorm?"

This was Xu Nan's first reaction.

"There are footsteps!"

The knight leader's ears twitched slightly, he, like Erin, had some Eparian blood, and in some ways had unusual talents.

At that moment, he quickly lay down, and then his face changed:

"It's a herd!"

"And it's coming in our direction!"

Xu Nan believed in his judgment and immediately said in a deep voice:

"Let's go back."

This is the wisest choice.

Surface creatures don't usually set foot in the underworld easily.

They'll just run around on the ground.

Compared to the fear they faced, the aura of the ancient gods of the underworld and the evil existence gave them a greater deterrent!

The group quickly retreated into the cave.

They didn't go far, though.

Xu Nan hid in the cave and threw out a few lightning spiders to investigate the situation.

It didn't take long for him to see a group of beasts running in a hurry!

There are lions, tigers, rabbits, wolverines!

It seems that the animals of the entire forest are alarmed.

They were running frantically.

And behind them, there are tall monsters!

These are real monsters!

Trolls, forest trolls, wyverns, vampire bats......

These monsters are chasing the beasts.

It looks like the monsters are driving away the beasts.

But Xu Nan carefully distinguished it and found that these demonic beasts were just driving them away!

"These monsters can work together to drive away the beasts?"

"Is there something powerful forcing them to do this?"

"He's doing this to clear the neighborhood here?"

Xu Nan analyzed quickly.

He decided to retreat to the underworld first, and wait until the beast tide had passed, and then make a decision.

But at this time.

Suddenly he was in the midst of the beasts.

Saw a bald head.

"This ......"

"It's really a place where you don't meet in life!"

Xu Nan sighed helplessly.

While the rest of the people were stunned, he resolutely walked out of the cave.
