Chapter 590: Induction (Part II)
The tunnels were as silent as the tombs, and the darkness was terrifying.
The lighting technique illuminates an area of sixty meters around, and it can be seen that this is a squad of about thirty people.
In the same light, you can see lichens, fungi and mosses growing in the ripples, and dim light in the sun, but it is very dangerous to carry light sources in dark areas, in large caves. Daylight and Torches can be spotted from great distances, meaning nearby creatures have plenty of time to decide whether to evade the surface dwellers or ambush them.
In a small corridor, I walked for ten minutes, and the pressure on my body was light.
Rolek walked through the barrier and looked around, there was darkness in front of him, and behind him was a team of elves.
Rolek stepped over one more place, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
"What a dark and endless existence!" Rolek's pupils shrank.
This is the underground sea.
The underground sea is different from the sea on the ground, but at a glance, it is vast, distant, and deep, like a sea at night, stretching for dozens of miles.
And around. It's an innumerable number of vaults.
"Lord Lorek, there is an underground sea, which is obviously a very suitable territory, as it has plenty of space and resources to sustain a huge jungle of fungi, mosses, and other strange plants. A female voice said, "Also, although the sea water here is not freshwater, it can be purified." There are also a lot of fish and shrimp in it. ”
"Yes, Miss Avisie, it seems likely that this is one of the Earth Elves' settlements?" said Rolek.
"It is possible that the dozen or so underground exploration teams sent by my lord are all very likely to have the dwellings of the earth elves, which is based on the elves' senses. "But now, let's find a suitable place to camp! You'd better check it out for us first. ”
Rolek nodded silently, after he became a dark mage, he gained the power of night vision, and walked carefully along the downward slope.
Danger? Of course, there is danger, but since you are a subordinate, there is always danger, as long as you don't send you to death.
Only then did he go around a lying boulder, and under Rolek's night vision, there was a appearance.
On the ground on either side of the valley mouth were several crude spears, each with a skeleton strung on it.
Rollec immediately became cautious, and he sank into the shadows around him, and a low incantation sounded.
First-level law seeking: secret divination
Summoning invisible powers is similar to a ghost, and is very fast, although it doesn't take long to summon. It's only a few minutes, but it's shared through Arfa Vision. It can be used to explore a fairly large area.
Only in the air, an invisible force suddenly appeared, and began to float forward, looking at the surrounding area with the Eye of Arcan.
It was only a little deeper that the invisible servants heard the sound of footsteps becoming clearer and clearer, and in a moment, they saw a group of humanoids coming out of a hole.
"Orcs!" Rolek saw the creatures through the invisible minions.
In the area notified by humans, in fact, foreign races are rare, elves are not to mention, dwarves are rare, and orcs are basically only found in savage areas.
These orcs, who are said to have bred on the earth before, were driven out of the dark region by the humans led by the Lord of Light, so they settled in caves, and the caves near the surface not only block the abominable sunlight, but also become extremely defensible after simple work, so most orcs are very happy to take advantage of these.
Rolek immediately hid himself in a darker corner and observed the group of orcs.
Half of this group of orcs are minotaurs. There are also some bear people with equipment, although not beautiful. But it also represents civilization.
"Damn! it looks like it's an area where the orcs are concentrated, and this isn't going to be easy!" Rec cursed, and after a few minutes, the invisible throttle collapsed.
can
What shocked Rolek the most was that this insignificant fluctuation suddenly caused one. The Minotaur's attention, it looked up and glanced at it a few times.
However, they didn't feel anything, and after waiting for half an hour, the orcs left.
After a deep look, Rolek waited for the film. I left and returned to my original location.
"Rolek, why have you been here for so long, is there anything going on?" said Avisy in a low voice.
"Yes, Jue's team of orcs, half of them are bear people, half of them are minotaurs, they are all powerful warriors, by the way, there seems to be a sacrifice in Rolek that is not hidden, explain them one by one.
Although the other elves did not know the lingua franca of humans, did not communicate with him much, and looked at him coldly, Rolek still reported quite seriously.
Now, in the human world, Rolek can't mix, if he loses the protection of the elves, then,
"Well, it's very likely that there is a sacrifice, and it is said that the orcs also have their own gods, although they are not said to be strong, but they are also gods!"
"Lord Avisie, can you say more? Only by knowing the details can we act better. ”
"Yes, it is said that the orcs and people are lost, and the murder time is about the same, and it has been nearly 10,000 years now, but fourth, the wisdom is generally not high, and it is a tribal system, so it is impossible to concentrate large-scale beliefs, so up to now, it is said that there are only three divine weapons. The power is not very strong!" With that, Avisy took out a holy emblem. After a moment of prayer, a small halo appeared on the emblem.
"It's okay now, otherwise when you say their names, you will feel that these three gods are Ediso, the main god of the orcs, a divine weapon that holds the power of the orcs. ”
"Then there is Poult, the orc god of war, who holds war and conquest
"And finally the orc god of death, as you can see. These divine weapons do not master the aspect of life and creation, but win with strength and conquest, which is also the characteristic of orcs!"
"Understood, but even so, the gods are still gods, if the orcs settle here, the elves of the land, shouldn't be here?"
Avisi's eyelids jumped, and he said, "Not necessarily, but it is said that the spirits of the earth also exert a lot of power in the underground, and"
Speaking of this, it was difficult to grit his teeth: "And it is said that he secretly colluded with some demon lords, and there is really a legend of believing in the demon god, and he may be able to survive here." ”
"In any case, since we have come here in the service of our lord, we must explore clearly, if there is an earth spirit, just report it to our lord, and our lord will give instructions on how to deal with it
, Wang Fabi North
Rolek smiled bitterly and did not speak.
"Now it's a priority. It's about finding a place to camp. Avisy said again.
"This one is easy, there are tens of thousands of caves nearby, and most of them have no traces of activity. There are only thirty of us, and it is not difficult to cover up the traces, so I will send my demon pet to find it. Rollek said, his magic pet was a black spider girl, "It's better to use the abandoned camp before, like that." There is no one and some convenience. ”
As he spoke, he commanded the demon pet into the darkness.
Half an hour later, a camp that met the requirements was realized, and with a goal, they continued to move forward, cautiously advancing, and only after half an hour, they entered here.
It was a ruined camp, with a cave filled with dust, rubble, and a mess, and some creatures inside. However, the tunnel is quite tall and spacious, and there is nothing in the way.
The footsteps of the elves, although slight, can still be heard far away, forming a hollow echo.
"Miss Avisie, in this cave environment, it's hard to hide the sound, so a sneak attack is unlikely. Rolek said dutifully. It's not just for the squad, it's for yourself. He didn't want to do a mission to die.
"Yes, I see
This tunnel, seepage pool place a lot.
In the quiet environment, the sound of dripping water from the shadows from time to time makes the scalp feel numb, but it is actually a good thing, the water is fresh water that can be drunk directly.
"The water vapor of the underground sea will condense on the walls of the surrounding caves, so if we have few people, this water alone will be enough, and we don't have to spend energy to purify the seawater. Rolek continued.
Walked forward.
Suddenly, a foul smell came to my nose.
"Everyone, pay attention, this is the smell of old corpses. Rolek said.
The right of illumination shone nearby, revealing the orc's original living area, and the rancid stench in the air became even stronger, and many skeletons could be seen scattered on the ground.
From time to time, rats, scorpions, and snakes can also be seen.
"How can there be so many bones here!" said Avisy frowned.
"It's food, you see, there are bite marks on the bones, this should have been the living quarters of the orcs, and everyone knows that the orcs are not particular about cleanliness. "I just don't know why, it's been abandoned." ”
Sure enough, a few more steps. I also saw a few utensils placed in the middle, and they had a very unique shape. It is apparently pottery originally fired by orcs.
"Clean them up!" Avisy ordered the elves, and there was no need for Rolek, anyway. Rolek is a mage from level 5 to level 6 and should be respected.
Immediately, the order was executed.
After a while, the camp was basically cleaned, all the bones were cleaned to an area outside, and the whole team camped in one of the insides, at this time, the enemy situation was still unknown, they did not dare to light a bonfire, so they could only eat a little dry food quietly with clean water.
"Tonight, we will repair all night, and starting tomorrow, we will explore the situation around us in a planned way, the period is half a month, and if we can't find any trace of the earth spirits, we will retreat. Avisy said with one last command.
Half a month?
Rolek breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this time is not too long, I hope that at this time, the exploration of the spirit of the earth can go smoothly!
However, even Rolek understands that with the concentration of the sea elves, the fire elves are temporarily restrained by the queen, so the next move is of course to find the earth elves and the wind wing elves.
From the point of view of planning, the time is still very short.
