Chapter 15 The Hun People
"Efeld, your claws are so sharp, this rock is a lapis stone!"
The little mage Thork had completely ignored the fact that Efeld was able to speak, and his eyes glowed as he looked at the rubble on the ground, which Efeld had cut through the massive rock.
Unlike Sock's focus, Shavina looked at the cavern that Efeld had dug up and furrowed her eyebrows. "Hmm~~~"
A scream emanates from the cave with the wind, and the temperature difference between the surface and the dark area forms a strong air convection, and the deep and dark cave is like a monster's open mouth, tempting people to enter, and then swallowing it in one gulp.
Efeld climbed to the edge of the cave, lowered his head and took a deep breath, then turned his head.
"Shavina, we'd better hurry, the wind here is too strong, the smell will soon be blown away, and we won't be able to catch up with them then!"
With that, Efeld led the way into the cave, followed by Savina and Sock. The cave was deep and damp, with the occasional crackling sound of water dripping on the rocks in the darkness. Efeld's night vision as a feline was fully utilized, and the glimmer of light emitted by the subterranean creatures was collected and enhanced by his alienated pupils, and everything was clearly visible.
"Shavina, Sock, don't get too far away from me, there's some danger here. ”
Efeld beckoned Shavina and Sock to come close to him, and at the same time exuded the coercion of being a creature surnamed God, because he was a doppelganger, his coercion was not particularly strong, but it was no problem to suppress those kobolds lurking in the shadows, burrowing crabs, and dreadclaw monsters.
"Illumination!"
Sock rummaged through his pockets, then pulled out a pinch of powder made from fireflies from his right thumb and forefinger, and made a gesture with his left hand, and a bright light flashed on the little mage's head. "I'm a first-level mage, my light technique can last for half an hour, hehe, the teacher said that one light technique is enough to deal with some weak underground creatures. “
The little mage's mind was just as nimble, and after applying buff spells to his horses, he had prepared multiple light spells during last night's meditation, and now it finally came in handy.
Under the effect of the light spell, the underground creatures that could only live in the dark and damp environment crumbled into the distance, and the slightly stronger ones also looked at the light in disgust, losing their appetite for the humanoids illuminated by the light.
Time ticked by, and Shavina, Efeld, and Sock were miles underground, and the little mage's slots to fill the light were running out.
"I don't have any light spells left, and all that is left is the first-level spell Burning Hand. ”
Soke, who released the last light technique, said to Savina and Efeld who were walking beside him, his face was already a little pale, although the zero-level spell didn't consume much energy, but it was still very physically hurtful to put a dozen in a row.
"You go to Efeld and rest, I'll wake you up if you're in danger. ”
Savina lifted Sock onto Efeld's back and laid him down on a small bed made of two piles of adventure supplies, and soon the little mage fell asleep in a tiny shake.
The passage was getting narrower and narrower, and it was no longer possible for Efeld and Shavina to walk side by side, so to be safe, Efeld opened the way ahead, and Shavina turned and connected herself to Efeld with a rope, guarding against the attack from the roar.
All the way to peace and quiet, as they emerged from the narrow passage, a huge underground world appeared in front of them.
It was a huge dome, the top of which was thousands of feet above the ground, and countless huge mushrooms grew in this dome, forming a forest, their canopies glowing with multicolored fluorescence, and their mycelium spread all over the ground, as if a carpet was covering the ground. Countless underground glowing insects flutter between the umbrellas, like elves dancing in the forest.
"It's so beautiful!"
"I didn't expect there to be such a magnificent view underground!"
Shavina and Thor were stunned, they had never imagined such a dreamlike place in the eerie and eerie dark region of the record. Efeld, on the other hand, felt a hint of prying eyes on his group, and he lowered his head and sniffed slightly on the ground.
"No, the scent of the dark elves and Katyusha is masked by the smell of these giant mushrooms. ”
Overhead, under the huge mushroom canopy that Efeld hadn't noticed, a pair of tiny eyes were flickering at them, and then the huge mushroom canopy shook a little, and a puff of tiny mushroom spores swayed down.
"Ahh
Savina and Sock, who were immersed in the beautiful scenery, were unguarded, and Efeld, who was smelling the ground, accidentally inhaled some of them.
Then, the sound of an urn sounded in the hearts of everyone.
"Surface races, why did they enter our world?"
"Who, who's talking?"
Shavina and Sock looked around, only insects fluttering, and no other living creatures, and they asked aloud, and Efeld, though unspoken, asked in his mind.
"We're right there with you. You are standing at our feet. ”
Savina and her group all raised their heads, and finally found the pair of small eyes under the umbrella cover, and then the huge mushrooms trembled, and suddenly pulled out of the fungus blanket from the roots, and at the same time, two round arms were divided on both sides of the body, and several strong mushroom giants stood in front of Savina and the others.
"We are the mushrooms, the underground guardians of the Supreme Forest. Surface races, explain your intentions!"
Mushroom people, probably the oldest known creatures in the world of Feren, are mutated creatures that are a hybrid of humanoids and poisonous mushrooms. They live in groups in dark areas, have peaceful surnames, and feed on mushrooms. And they can only live underground in the Supreme Forest, and will die once they leave the confines of the Supreme Forest.
"So we're now under the Supreme Forest?"
Savina and Sock glanced at each other slightly, then looked up and said in a common elven ritual to the giant mushroom.
"We have come in pursuit of a group of dark elves who have brutally murdered our friends and loved ones in the surface world, please help us show them the way forward. ”
The canopy of the mushroom giants shook again, shaking their own spores into a cloud of spores, and after a long time, one of the strongest mushroom giants moved their thick roots and walked up to Savina.
"We have not found any dark elves passing through here, and if you need exact news, we can take you to our king. ”
"Thank you very much. ”
Savina saluted again, and then the strong mushroom slowly walked forward, Savina and the others followed, while the other mushrooms returned to their original positions and put down roots again.
The Dark Gold Caravan
After a long period of repair, Sherlock led his caravan on the journey again, and without the lead mutant Lothmon Kaka, Sherlock could only stand at the front and serve as the leader of the caravan.
"Come closer, don't go near the lake, any place with water in the dark is dangerous, idiot!"
He shouted loudly, a shrill voice echoing far through the vault, and everyone marched in order under his voice, trying not to have any unexpected attrition.
Zhu Ba led a Looth beast behind him, watching the short body collapse with infinite vitality.
Passing through the mushroom forest, far from the small lake, the caravan slowly advanced against the stone wall of the vault, and in three days they walked out of the vault and entered a new passage, a path called the Deepthroat Spine, which was also a road of death.
"The road to safety is finally over, guys, are you ready for battle?"
Sherlock had gathered all the guards for a short meeting before entering the passage, and it was the last time he spoke loudly.
"Ahead is the Deep Throat Spine, a quick and dangerous road to Mosopotala, and the only road to Mosopotala in Brindon Stone City, I don't expect you all to survive, but don't worry, if you give your life for the Dark Gold Chamber of Commerce, your loved ones will be supported by the Dark Gold!"
"Now, let's go to death!" (To be continued.) )
