readx;? Since the dawn of civilization, almost every powerful civilization and race has gone through the same cycle, rising, glorious, declining, and then being replaced by other competitors. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 According to the general laws of history, mankind today should be no exception.

It is undeniable that mankind has had glorious times, but that is a thing of the past. In the thousands of years of human decline, there are countless other intelligent races around them, such as Jing Ling, Dwarves, Orcs, Halflings, and even Di Jing, these intelligent races are almost far superior to humans in terms of their respective talents.

However, the so-called hundred-legged insects die but do not stiffen, and these races not only do not win in the competition with humans, but gradually show signs of being more and more suppressed, and human beings unexpectedly rise again, which really makes many wise people feel confused and surprised.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

William could never have imagined that there was such a far-sighted organization in this world, hidden and secretly guiding the entire human race, which also solved some of the doubts in William's heart in a certain way, but at the same time brought him more confusion and incomprehension.

However, William knows that it is not a wise move to get to the bottom of the matter, and many times the more you know, the more trouble you will have, and William is a person who does not like trouble. William knew very well that while Tapari had revealed something, she had much more to hide.

However, William had no intention of asking, and he said, "How is your injury, can you continue to move on?"

Tabari shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not, I'm afraid I can't keep up with your footsteps due to my injuries, and the smell of blood on the wounds will attract more underground monsters, which is definitely an extremely bad thing for us." I walked slowly back to the surface on my own, which wasn't very far from here. ”

William pointed to the spiny-tailed lion that kept flicking its tail to the side, and said, "What about it, what should this beast do?"

"Take it with you, as a local host. Underground spiny lions here will be useful. It can help you solve a lot of problems. ”

William watched as Tapari limped into the dark passage, and although the way back to the cave was no longer dangerous, it was for a female arcanist with a wound in the leg. It was still a tough trip.

William withdrew his gaze and looked down at the spiny-tailed lion on the side, the hideous-looking monster with a terrifying smile indicating that he was ready. William pulls the knob of the bullseye lantern. Turn the lights to the brightest, although both humans and beasts have the ability to see in the dark, but for William, who is more accustomed to the light environment, having a usable oil lamp is still a more reassuring thing.

The path to the underground crevices is not easy to follow, and these were carved out thousands of years ago. Most of the ancient rock roads that have never been maintained have long since lost their function as walkways, and large and small cracks and cliffs fill the entire underground, making it a terrible natural place in the absence of light. As a true local serpent, the spiny-tailed lion undoubtedly knew much more about this crevice than William, an outsider.

Of course, it is very difficult to see other creatures within the control of the spiny lion, because the spiny lion without an owner will unleash its evil ** without limit. They wantonly slaughter all living creatures in their territory. Even if you're full.

And the spiny lion also fulfilled its duty as a "leading party" very well, along the way it kept pointing out where William could and couldn't go, and where it seemed safe but was actually a life-devouring crack... This evil creature is an extremely rare loyal being, and it does not reserve its first "loyalty" to William.

Although the spiny lion is able to speak some simple lingua franca, it is due to the fact that they have always been "alone" children. The vocabulary he could master was often extremely scarce, and William was not a linguistic genius. So at the beginning, the words of one person and one animal in language were basically chickens and ducks, and no one could understand who spoke.

However, with the continuous run-in communication. William relied on simple gestures and a dry lingua franca, but he also established a little tacit understanding with the thorn-tailed lion. Relying on the thorntail lion's tips, William avoided countless traps and obstacles, and he had to marvel at the ability of his new "little brother". Although this guy is a little ugly, his ability is still very good.

After stumbling for more than half an hour, William and the Thorntail Lion came to a much wider cave, the roof of which was covered with countless bell stones, which were folded in layers under the light of the light.

The air here is extremely humid and apparently close to the water source. And where there is a water source, there must also be life. The spiny-tailed lion roared a little restless, and William also felt that something was wrong around him, as if there were countless reptiles wriggling non-stop.

The thorntail roared indistinctly, "Roar... Master... Ant maggots... Roar"

This time, William didn't hear what the Thorntail was saying, and he tried his best to open his senses, raising his senses to the sharpest state, paying attention to the dynamics around him. Soon, William discovers the object of the thorntail lion's uneasiness - a group of strange and disgusting reptiles. A maggot that resembles a maggot that has been magnified dozens of times, with locust feet and ant jaws, and a fat belly that drags on the ground.

William had seen information about ant maggots in the earlier book. Ant maggots are creatures that are very similar to carnivorous ants, they have the greed of maggots, and can form groups like ants to divide labor and work together, and their jaws secrete venom that can kill people. Swarms of maggots can kill most of their much stronger prey, and even the gyoph-tailed lion has to shy away when faced with a colony of maggots.

However, the greatest natural predator of the ant maggot is the subterranean rock spider, and the spider-eating beast that likes to hunt the subterranean rock spider is also the object of the spiny-tailed lion's favorite prey. The spider-eaters here were hunted clean by the spiny-tailed lions, and the underground rock spiders were driven away, but the maggots multiplied and the population grew. Now it has bared its fangs, turning its ferocious predator to the "outsiders".

It's just that this time the ant maggot hit the iron plate, if William was still a simple hand-to-hand warrior or an ordinary warlock, he could only flee in the wilderness, but he had mastered the most terrifying magical power in the world - curse fire, even if it was only a small rudiment, but it gave William the confidence to ignore the number of hostile enemies.
