The dark cavern leads to the unpredictable depths of the earth, and due to the narrow passages, the tall and burly Thunderbeast guards have to form a long dragon and carefully follow each step under the leadership of Leon and Rose.

The light of the torches illuminated the long tunnel, and the ground was covered with messy rubble, and from time to time water seeped out of the cracks in the roof wall and fell on the warriors, who risked slipping on the mud if they were not careful.

"This passage was dug up by the goblins, and it didn't take a long time," Anlan whispered, who followed behind Leon.

Traces of chiseling can be seen everywhere on the rock face, and there are very few natural passages to the surface in the underworld, and no part of them are carved by underground goblins—this once glorious civilization of this underground race has an unimaginable passion for digging holes.

This time deep underground, Leon only left Concordia and ten guards guarding the outer entrance of the cave, and the others all joined to ensure that they had enough strength to face possible dangers.

The trend of the crypt passage was gradually downward, and the length was surprising, and a team of nearly 100 people walked for almost half a sand, and Leon, who was walking in the front, suddenly opened up in front of him.

At the end of the passage is a huge underground space, almost two or three hundred steps in radius, looking up you can see a high dome, and a small underground river more than ten feet below it.

The circular underground space looked like a hub connecting the various passages, and there were four openings around it leading to the unknown area, but there were no black elves or goblins in sight, and there was no movement except the rattling of the river.

Although there is no sunlight deep underground, it is definitely not pitch black, and the dark river below is full of half-foot-tall plants, and the dark green stems and leaves are dotted with buds, emitting a soft pale blue light.

These strange plants spread all the way to the vicinity of the entrance of the passage, and the light of thousands of buds gathered together to illuminate the entire space, and Leon could see every corner without the need for torches.

"This is the Blue Night Flower..."An Lan leaned over and picked a small bud from the ground next to the cave entrance and put it between her palms: "It is the favorite plant of our black elves, in addition to being able to use it for lighting, its sap mixed with water can also wash away dirt and delicate skin. ”

"This is supposed to be a gateway point for goblin digging, and those holes lead to different places, some going straight to the surface, some going deep underground, or the next transit point, or maybe going straight to the real underworld. ”

As a black elf, although An Lan's ethnic group left the underworld a thousand years ago, they have never really severed their connection with the underworld, so they still have a good understanding of the underground situation.

It is precisely because of this that this time Leon brought her with him, and if he extorted confessions from captured captives, she also needed to translate - those underground black elves generally do not understand the lingua franca of the mainland.

The Thunder Beast guards all walked out of the passage, and everyone followed the dirt slope into the relatively open area in the center, and many warriors looked around curiously.

Everything in the underworld was completely foreign to them.

There are also four passages around, which is undoubtedly a test for Leon and the others.

For thousands of years, tens of millions of goblins in the underworld have worked tirelessly to expand the space of the underworld, while also digging countless underground passages.

These passages are crisscrossed as dense as a spider's web, and if someone who is not familiar with them rushes into them, it is very likely that they will completely fall into the labyrinth of tunnels and find no way out.

Luckily, Rose had the silver tanuket in her hands, and she took out the little creature hidden in the beast's bag and told it to look for the traces left by the black elves.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, the golden raccoon leapt from Rose's hand and landed on the ground, raising its head and stretching its nose to sniff vigorously, then bouncing towards a hole on its right.

Jumping over the dark river, which was only a few feet wide, the golden raccoon rat sprinted to the mouth of the cave, where it stopped, sniffed the ground a few times with its head down, and then crept cautiously into the passage.

Squeak!

But the next moment, as if he had encountered the most terrible predator, the little one suddenly let out a sharp scream, turned around and fled.

It raced back to Rose's side, and re-burrowed into the hide pocket, apparently frightened.

Leon and Rose looked at each other.

I don't know why, Leon suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, as if some danger was approaching them.

"Defend the formation, prepare for battle!"

Leon never doubted his instincts, and he gave the order on the spot.

The guards faithfully carried out his orders, and immediately formed a defensive formation to protect the fragile mages and scouts in the middle, and the underground space was suddenly filled with the tense atmosphere before the battle.

Sand, sand, sand!

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the hole that the silver-threaded civet had just sniffed, as if something was crawling out of it.

The sound is getting denser and denser, and in this claustrophobic underground space, people can't help but feel creepy.

Without Leon's order, the guards turned their crossbows and aimed them at the hole.

Hiss!

A black figure suddenly flew out of the mouth of the cave, and it rolled rapidly down the dirt slope below the passage to the opposite side of the dark river, and stopped only twenty or thirty paces away from the guardsmen, and suddenly spread out its eight long hairy legs.

It was a huge black spider, more than half a man tall, seven or eight feet wide with its legs outstretched, and covered with sharp bristles.

The round belly wrapped in the black armor bulged, and a pair of scarlet spider eyes stared at Leon and the others with a pair of scarlet eyes, and the two scimitar-like teeth on the left and right couldn't help biting together, and the fierce appearance was hideous!

Hiss!

This terrible black spider was just a pioneer, it had just revealed its claws, and from the hole above the back, a cloud of black shadows flew out, rolling down and spreading out one by one, all of them were exactly the same big guys!

In just a few seconds, the number of spiders has increased dramatically to a dozen, and the number is still increasing.

"Attack!" exclaimed Leon.

Whoosh!

Dozens of bolts flew out from among the guards and landed among the spiders.

However, these powerful crossbow arrows did not have the desired effect, and most of the arrows hit the spiders and were bounced off by the hard shell on their bodies, and they were unscathed.

Only a few crossbow arrows were lucky enough to land at the junctions of the limbs of a few spiders and barely pierced in.

The spiders were completely enraged, they let out an unpleasant scream, opened their mouths and spewed out streams of silver-white spider silk, which flew over a distance of dozens of paces, and fell on the shield of the guards and under their feet, each strand of these spider silk was about three fingers thick, and the tip had an extremely strong sticky surname, once it stuck to something, it immediately retracted, and the shields in the hands of a dozen warriors were glued and pulled away.

Two of the warriors were unfortunately caught in the ankles of the spiders' silk, and the spiders pulled them to the ground and dragged them across the river!

"Everyone, be careful!"

While Leon avoided a bundle of spider silk, he practiced swinging the Thunder Flame War Knife to directly cut off the spider silk that entwined the warrior.

"Steady, stay in line!"

Whew!

Four or five strands of spider silk shot at Leon at the same time, and although he dodged as fast as he could, a bundle of spider silk hit and adhered to the soul armor.

But the sticky part burst into flames, emitting a burning scorching smell, and the black spider that sneaked up on Leon's hand pulled into the air, pulled back the spider silk and involuntarily retreated several steps.

Fear of fire? Leon immediately shouted, "Throw all the torches over, Aklan!"

More than a dozen torches flicked over, followed by fireballs released by the mage, and one by one they fell in the midst of the spider swarm.

Squeak!

The spiders were in a state of confusion, some of them were thrown by torches, and some of them were burned and jumped, and some of them were hit by fireballs and turned over on the spot.

The spiders are really afraid of fire, especially the spider silk they spit out is a little bit, and as soon as the fire hits it, the spiders suddenly fall into chaos like ants that blow up their nests.

The spiders that weren't affected by the flames began to retreat, and the fear of the flames made them give up their attacks.

Seeing such a scene, Akran in the middle of the team frequently waved his staff, and without hesitating his magic power, he blasted out a series of fireballs.

Wow!~ Seeing that the spiders were about to collapse completely, a sharp howl suddenly came from the hole opening.

Hearing this sound, all the spiders seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, they no longer retreated and fled, and jumped up against the fireballs and rushed in the direction of Leon and the others.

"It's a wizard, and there's a wizard in it to control the crypt spider!"

Anlan reminded Leon loudly that she couldn't help in battle, but her familiarity with the underworld was unmatched.

"Kill!"

Leon swung his weapon at the spiders who rushed across the dark river, and the red mangs of the Thunder Flame War Knife skyrocketed, slashing at the head of a crypt black spider with a thunderous force.

The head of the crypt black spider suddenly cracked, and the black and green body fluids splashed everywhere, and fell directly to the ground.

Leon, who had succeeded in the blow, jumped up with all his might, stepped heavily on its corpse with his right foot, and flew into the air for more than ten feet with the help of his strength, just landing on the other side of the dark river.

The two crypt spiders next to him sharply turned their heads and bared their teeth to bite at him, and Leon rushed forward to avoid their interception, and the sword swung out to slash a black spider that stood in its way to the ground.

He quickly rushed to the top of the dirt slope, less than ten paces from the mouth of the cave.

Whoosh!

Five or six feathered arrows suddenly flew out of the hole!
