Chapter 51: Exploring the Underground

Rustle –

Driven by the Earth Walk, the Black-scaled Bird-faced Dragon and the West Wind Abyss Dragon quickly moved towards the depths of the cave in the southeast direction.

Compared with the Zephyrine Abyss Dragon, which has a tail length of more than two meters, the size of the Black-scaled Bird-faced Dragon is more than one meter, and it undoubtedly acts as a scout + bait.

The Zephyr Abyss Dragon stared at the pair of strange eyes, walking in the crypt, and on its tail, the large scales that healed into were slightly airflow with the shaking of the tail, and the horn-like stinger at the end of the tail was ready to strike at the enemy at any time.

Although there is no way to give them too detailed instructions, at most it can only be assigned to them positional relationships, how much distance to keep, and what tactics to use.

While there is no guarantee that they will listen or disobey at such a critical juncture, it is sufficient.

At least in terms of attracting attention, it's enough.

The earth line did not pin his hopes on them, and attacked and hunted the black-scaled kobolds, mainly on his own.

But......

As we went deeper and deeper into the ground, we discovered more and more conditions.

The further down we go, the more obvious the characteristics of the rock mass structures that resemble the walls of a karst cave, which are formed by corrosion.

It was as if the crypt had been excavated by corrosion.

Black-scaled kobolds?

The earthly membrane opened and closed left and right, but there was no focus, and all the perceptions he gained were obtained through blood energy fluctuations.

Soon, he came to the place where he had taken the initiative to hunt the black-scaled kobold for the first time in the true sense of the word.

An area with pillars and walls.

He stopped in front of the passage where the kobolds had appeared before.

A large crypt area with several entrances to the depths.

However, by making careful identification of the marks on the walls and floor, he could determine which passage was often used.

"The black-scaled kobold shouldn't have been cautious enough to clean up all the traces of his feet, right?"

Jixing glanced at the ground.

Even if they have this mind, the traces are not so easy to remove.

It's just that is it possible to "go around in circles" and "detour"?

Thinking of the cunning and cautious or timid habits of those black-scaled kobolds before, Di Xing couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the traces he saw.

However, he still put this possibility aside for the time being.

Of course, there are possibilities, but don't consider them for now......

But......

Where exactly do the black-scaled kobolds live?

He walked all the way down without even seeing a bone.

Obviously, the weapons used by the black-scaled kobolds before should all be made of bones, and Dixing can even convert those weapons into materials.

However, the problem of completeness made the earth bank choose to give up this idea of wasting energy - even if it was only a little.

"What is the habit of burying corpses in black-scaled kobolds?"

Unable to find any creature remains, he and the black-scaled kobold and the Zephyr dragon headed all the way to the depths of the crypt.

As they went deeper and deeper, they smelled a foul smell.

The footsteps of the earth walkers stopped, and the sharp claws buckled against the rock mass on the ground.

The stench he smelled was a little strange, and he didn't know if it was the smell of corpses.

However, it should not be a fresh corpse smell.

Maybe it's a dried corpse?

He smelled a little musty.

After a moment of thought, he continued with the two guards.

After circumnavigating a distance of nearly five hundred meters, he finally found the source of the smell.

"It seems like it's okay to say it's musty."

The ground stopped in front of a ramp with a small, uneven pit that sloped downward.

Along the ramp inward, there is a low cave.

However, it wasn't the musty smell of the corpse's decomposition.

It's piece after piece...... Mushroom?

As far as the eye can see, the small cave of about six or seven hundred square meters is covered with large and small luminous objects, and the strange "musty smell" wafts out of it.

Moreover, this "musty smell" seems to come very authentically -

What glows is what looks like mushrooms, and these things that cling to the bottom of the cave wall are shimmering.

The size is estimated to be only three or four centimeters.

Di Xing looked at those mushrooms, no wonder, Di Xing always felt that the crypt was not completely dark.

It's just that because he has a fluctuating sense that can be replaced, he doesn't have a sensitive enough judgment on how much light remains.

Di Xing directly commanded the black-scaled bird-faced dragon to lean over.

Not only did the black-scaled bird-faced dragon not resist, but the pace quickened a little-

Dixing felt joy in its body.

It seemed pleased to be close to the mushrooms that emitted a faint blue light.

Mushrooms that glow are not something that can't exist.

In his previous life, he had heard of fifty or sixty types of mushrooms that could emit shimmering light.

However, in the world of the previous life, the reason why those mushrooms were able to glow was various luciferases.

And in this world.....

Just like the tail-clawed lizard snake before, it's hard to say whether the principle of light is the same.

Not to mention whether it is poisonous or not.

And at this moment, he saw the black-scaled bird-faced dragon open its mouth and bite directly at the large cluster of strangeness.

However, just as the black-scaled bird-faced dragon entered and approached the mushrooms, the earth finally noticed that there were one large and small creatures that looked like rabbits and felt a bit like rats among the mushrooms.

It's not very big, less than the length of a human palm, less than ten centimeters.

He had seen this animal on the surface a few times before, but he had only seen three or five in total.

These creatures appeared here without being disturbed at all......

It's kind of weird.

He counted roughly, and there were about seventy or eighty of them.

Soon, however, the earth line discovered something.

Although these things are "alive" and alive in his perception of blood energy fluctuations, their bodies seem to be connected with those mushrooms......

There are even a few glowing mushrooms that grow on these small animals that look like mice and rabbits.

Jixing glanced at the black-scaled bird-faced dragon that was gnawing on those glowing mushrooms.

In terms of the range of action it gnaws......

The texture is a bit like eating meat......

Moreover, the black-scaled bird-faced dragon is not just eating mushrooms, but also biting down on the mushrooms and those small creatures next to them and eating them into their stomachs.

After looking around again, an idea came to Jixing's mind.

Could it be that these small animals were attracted by the "musty smell" of this mushroom, and then became the nutrients of these mushrooms?

But...... The black-scaled bird-faced dragon not only eats these small animals, but also eats mushrooms.

Can these mushrooms be eaten by black-scaled kobolds?

Isn't the food resources underground quite scarce as I thought before?
