Chapter 622: The Bottomless Abyss
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of the lazy sheep and the wheat dou classmates, thank you!
Leon was a little surprised, he only felt the air flow in the cave at first, and guessed that the cave here might be connected to other caves, thus reminiscent of the last time he went to save Red, he searched for nearly a day in that endless underground cavern.
Until now, Leon still had lingering fears about the scale of that underground cavern, and the place he had walked through was less than a fraction of it, and if it weren't for the magic skill of having a battlefield map, it is estimated that these people would have become rotten bones somewhere underground in the Pale Mountains.
However, at this moment, listening to Belmond's story, the young man realized that almost the entire Pale Mountains were covered with similar vast spaces underneath, and that the underground caverns with hidden ruins were only a drop in the ocean compared to them.
Thinking of the vast above-ground range of the Pale Mountains, the vast territory in the south of the continent that is comparable to the human realm, and the inaccessible wild areas on the edge of the continent, Li Ang, as an "outsider", couldn't help but admire the extremely "colorful" environment of this continent.
"That's the so-called 'bottomless abyss,' isn't it?" said Erin suddenly.
Her voice caught Leon's attention, and the young man immediately looked over and saw that the girl's eyes were shining in the light of the torches, as if she had discovered something that interested her emotionally.
Belmond looked at Erin, the expression on his face seemed a little strange, and said slowly: "Only a few aborigines who know a lot about these things will call the space under the Pale Mountains a 'bottomless abyss', how do you know?"
"Actually. The originator of the term was a human," said Erin, "and he had been to the depths of the Pale Mountains a long time ago. There he came into contact with many powerful creatures, discovered the existence of underground space, and even went down himself. ”
There he saw caverns that stretched out like no end to the ground, and he saw many strange creatures, so he said the words "bottomless abyss" for the first time based on the characteristics he had seen with his own eyes. ”
Later, he had contact with countless indigenous races, and gradually spread the word, which has become a common name today. ”
"This can't be!" Belmond frowned. "No human has ever been able to enter the depths of the Pale Mountains, let alone run into the bottomless abyss, let alone those creatures. Even the intricate pathways will make him completely lost in it!"
"Yes, and more than one, you just don't know," Erin whispered.
Belmond's eyes narrowed. Gazing closely at several of the most delicate maidens in the human race. But no matter how sharp its gaze was, Erin also stared at it with an indifferent look.
"Belmond, Erin is the most knowledgeable of us all, so you don't have to doubt her," Melissa said.
Melissa's reassurance worked, and the werewolf leader's eyes moved, and after a moment it withdrew its gaze and said, "Okay." I take your word for now, but since I can break into the depths of the Pale Mountains. It must be a human with great strength, who is he?"
"I'm sorry," Erin said in a rather odd tone, as she seemed to guess the problem, "even though hundreds of years have passed since this incident, and I've been lucky enough to have read his writings, I still don't dare to mention his name directly." ”
This sentence made several companions who were familiar with Erin's character couldn't help but hold their breath, they could guess from the girl's "dare" rather than "can't" say the name of this person, they could guess that he was definitely a figure whose strength far exceeded imagination, maybe he had reached the sixth order or even above the sixth order hundreds of years ago, and it was really possible that he was still alive in this world.
Belmond also heard the meaning of Irene's words, and it was not that she didn't believe it at all, but that there must be some exaggeration in it, so she was not as shocked as the others, but said a little reluctantly: "If it's so powerful, why don't I know?"
Fiona, who had not said a word, let out a sneer, "Could it be that the sharp-clawed werewolf is also a member of the depths of the Pale Mountain Range, so you know everything that happened there?"
Belmond looked up, "The Sharpclaw Werewolf hasn't been there, but!"
Repeating "but" several times in a row, the werewolf leader never continued, and it seems that the follow-up words have involved the secrets of the werewolves. Then Belmond suddenly closed his mouth, his eyes glistened, and even the hair on his neck began to stand on end.
"Alright, that's the end of the conversation," Leon walked up to Belmond, blocking the view between him and Fiona, and said calmly, "I still have a question, is the human-faced spider mother in your territory a creature of the bottomless abyss?"
"But she's provoking me!" Belmond roared, his voice echoing through the cavern, and even the werewolves resting outside stood up, their green eyes glinting in the darkness.
"No, that's not a provocation," Li Ang looked directly at the other party and said, "It's because you and we are not familiar with each other, so there will be some misunderstandings." ”
"Belmond, I'm sure you'll understand that there's not much point in dwelling on this, and it's better for you and me to give a little more trust in the rest of the day, which will be a good thing for both of us. ”
The werewolf leader was silent, and after a moment, it glanced at Melissa, who was a little nervous, and slowly withdrew the expression of anger that was about to be angry, and leaned back.
"To be exact, Mother Spider does belong to the bottomless abyss," Belmond muffled.
Leon glanced at Fiona, the vampire girl was leaning against the wall with her arms folded as if nothing happened, she didn't care about the anger of the werewolf leader just now, the corners of the young man's mouth rose slightly, and he showed a smile on it, and then he turned back and continued to ask: "So, usually those creatures will also run up and compete with the aborigines on the ground for survival resources?"
"No, the bottomless abyss is bigger than you think, there are countless water and food in it, and there are many resources that creatures depend on to survive, and they won't run up unless there are special circumstances," Belmond said to himself, not noticing the eye contact between Leon and the girl.
"However, this human-faced spider mother must have been driven out of her territory by other creatures, that is, she was defeated in the battle of the clan and was expelled from it, so she appeared very close to the ground. ”
"It's just a loser, and it has the strength to stand up to most of our strong people, so I'll give you a sincere advice," Belmond glanced coldly at the girl standing against the wall, and said, "With your strength, you are indeed qualified to enter the Pale Mountains, maybe it will be no problem to get closer to the inside, but if you find any caves stored underground, don't go in casually." ”
"Otherwise, once you encounter a similar creature, or fall into a labyrinth of pathways like a bottomless abyss, it's really over," it said, "maybe the person you're talking about can come and go as he pleases, but you certainly can't." (To be continued......)
