Chapter 614: Throwing Yourself into the Net
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Great Elise, please grant ...... Hmm!" One of the Drows, who had recited half of the prayer, was cut off by a needle-like stab in his head, and he snorted, and fell headlong with blood spurting from his mouth and nose!
However, their half-pounced bodies immediately writhed in mid-air, and each of them hurriedly withdrew his sword...... The dinging sound blocked the bite of the four snake heads, and the wolf Bèi returned to its original position.
"We're just travelers passing through here, and we're not interested in a boring battle over a matter of faith. Edward frowned, reached out and pressed the hand of the priestess beside him who waved the snake whip, and then let the words of his heart echo in the ears of every drow: "The road is facing the sky, and each one is halfway...... Anyway, just give way. ”
In fact, with Edward's ability, kicking away so many drows is as simple as pinching the worm to death, but this matter is obviously not so simple - the route of travel is told by Rose to Edward, and the dark girl Elise Triad, although she is Rose's daughter, is the enemy's fierce enemy...... While it would certainly make Rose feel good for her followers, Edward wasn't going to provoke another god as an opponent at this moment.
"You...... Bastard! Six snake whips!Beware, this guy is a high-level spider waiter!"
The female Elistra devotee threw down her repeater and cursed in amazement, then shouted loudly. Darkness stood in no way for Drow. Their infrared vision allows them to see the contours of temperature, which is much clearer and more accurate than a person's vision in such places.
The shout made all her companions' expressions tense, and they gave up on striking again. Qi Qi made a defensive gesture.
Rose's priest can only use one weapon, which is a combination of magic and construct, this constructing weapon blessed by Rose himself is very powerful, the whip made of pure gold silk and animal skin is not only tough and flexible, can attack different directions according to the user's will when swinging, but also can bite opponents with a delicately constructed snake head like a real snake, and there is even Drow venom in the fangs that is stronger than ordinary snake venom.
And the level of a Drow priest can also be seen in this unique weapon, the usual civilian priest uses no more than three snake whips, and the fourth rank is high. And five is already used by the head mother of a family...... But Dahni's army was a six-snake whip, something that only the great family of Drow could wield.
Of course, in fact, as Dahny's electorate, she should have had an eight-whip - second only to Rose's sidekick, the artifact Nine Serpent Whip as a high-level magic weapon. But it starts with getting on the ground. She hadn't stayed in any of the drow cities for long, and she couldn't have gone through the dark ritual that had taken so long to get a whip. So use it now. It's still the six snake whips she used when she was the daughter of the city's first family.
But the fact that this is amazing enough.
It would have been absolutely impossible for a drow housemother to leave her family and city without permission, otherwise it would be regarded as giving up her rights, and it would also be a betrayal of the spider queen. But the snake whip is a token given by Rose to the faithful, and it is impossible for any drow who violates her orders and wishes to use it again. Those dexterous snakeheads will even turn against the owner who is not the owner, so this matter must not be faked.
"I don't want to say it a second time. We're just passing through here, get out of the way, or I wouldn't mind killing somebody. ”
Edward frowned. He tried to use psychic abilities to influence the hapless creatures, but he didn't succeed - the drows were resistant to all kinds of powers, whether magical or psionic, and they seemed to be veterans of the faith, and psychic abilities like charm had little effect on them.
In fact, it is the best of both worlds to retreat and find another way forward, but it is a pity that Edward today does not have the boring patience to play the game of justice for these weaklings. Moreover, his strength has long been much more convincing than anything.
"Hmph, stupid cultist, who do you think we are?" the female sneered loudly, "You think we're going to be scared of your bluff......"
But the next moment, her voice stopped abruptly!
The woman's eyes widened, but her bright red eyes seemed to be suddenly covered with a layer of whiteness. Centered on the person standing on the metal pedestal in front of him, the entire space seemed to become dark and obscure, even in Drow's infrared vision...... And everyone's gaze involuntarily paused, even their movements, their breathing froze in that moment, the sword slipped from their hands, and the ground hit a crisp trill, but they could only stare blankly......
The whole field of vision was filled with that person's eyes.
Those silver eyes, shining like metal, looked at them peacefully. But there was a kind of coldness in that calm—like a sharp sword looming, and the slightest movement would split the whole person in half! Jia floated to the other side of the open river.
"It's horrible......"
It wasn't until long after the pedestal had disappeared into the darkness that the drow were finally able to move, and one by one they fell to their knees...... Sweat flowed on their skin, and wisps of warm water were evaporated by the cold wind of the underground river, but they felt as if they were frozen......
After a breath as if all his strength had been exhausted, a drow opened its mouth a few times before finally spitting out the simple word.
"Damn, what the hell is this monster!"
Their collars were undoubtedly the quickest to recover - the female Drow's body was also shivering, but she seemed to be better off than the rest of her companions, at least she was the only one in the group who remained standing, but even so, she was just as empty-headed. After taking dozens of deep breaths, he finally suppressed his fear, took out a black scroll from his body, and opened the metal buckle on it.
But then she cursed in a low voice...... He took out a pitch-black crystal from his body: "How did these damn Rawls spiders find us?"
In the crystal, the shimmer flickered a few times. "A few of them are heading in the direction of the city!Get ready, and if you can, let them into the city, and catch them!" said the female Zhuoer, "Steady them first, I will go back after about half an hourglass!"
......
The road of the river beach flies backwards under the flying platform. The cave gradually expands in the field of vision, becoming wide and yet narrow - underground rivers flow through the area, and thousands of years of water erosion have built thick stalagmites on the ground. Divides the vast cavern into countless small spaces, and the ground is covered with a layer of slippery moss. Pale mushrooms are scattered in dark places...... At first glance. Each channel is almost identical.
It's one of the most vexing terrains in the Dark Realms, and it's impossible to find a way out of the chaos with just a few visits, and the stalagmites make it easy for many hunters in the dark—dreadclaws, lizards, or drows—to pop up in front of unsuspecting travelers. Or easily and silently drag them into the darkness behind your back.
For Edward's party, who were able to fly, this was not a problem at first, but as the stone pillars gradually joined together, the field of vision narrowed and narrowed. Edward's brow furrowed. As the coordinates of the portal provided by Rose got closer to him, and the map in the Divine Vision became clearer, the Psychic Warlock noticed that it was not a building placed in the wilderness.
There are quite a few creatures gathered around, and they are humanoid.
This is a certain flaw in divine probing, which becomes less accurate when it is far away...... Edward's current mental power can extend the range of this detection to any range of about a hundred miles in the limit state, but that must be calm and concentrated, otherwise, once the range exceeds ten miles, the details will begin to blur, and near the edge, you can only barely detect the terrain and landforms, but you can't see the details of creatures and other things.
Under normal circumstances, in fact, a range of ten miles was enough for him to observe most things, but now, he noticed that he had overlooked a little too much.
"Is it possible for more than two spatial doors to appear in an area?" he asked.
"Quite possibly. Dahni responded, "Naturally, spatial anomalies often don't appear alone...... It is also very likely that there will be a door to another place near a gap in the space. And her gaze lingered on the cave wall that slowly swept backwards around her: "However, this kind of spatial passage is easy to attract boring guys. And it seems that there are quite a few of these nasty guys. ”
"How do you know?" asked the half-elf.
"Since then, the tunnels here have not been formed naturally, but dug by rock worms. The priestess apparently didn't want to go into details, until she noticed the inquiry in the psychic mancer's gaze, and then explained in detail: "The rock worm is a creature that many underground races breed to dig tunnels...... They are very large, they feed on rocks, and they eat a lot, and they can quickly dig tunnels in the ground by devouring rocks with incredible degrees. Those who like mining usually like to get some of it, and the newly built city will also raise some to expand the size of the city. ”
"It doesn't matter if you're a novice, but the easiest ones to raise rock bugs are the disgusting gray dwarves, who are stubborn and hard to deal with. And it was dug out of the soil, and as soon as it appeared, it was a large group. Very nasty. After a pause, she added.
"I haven't heard of any dwarf born from mud, and it's not an earth element......"
"Stupid little girl, I obviously mean that they reproduce quickly!
"Shhhh......h......h Soon, shadowy figures stepped out from behind the surrounding stone pillars.
They were extremely short figures, like a group of children playing, but they were wearing delicate chain mail, and each of them held spears and war hammers in their hands—half the size of ordinary people, but the bright halo of magic on them was enough to show that they were not toys.
"It's an underground gnome. There was a hint of relaxation in Drow's voice.
In the Dark Regions. Underground gnomes are undoubtedly a kind of existence that can be somewhat reassuring - they are neither good nor evil, and they are incompatible with this dark world full of tricks, but with the unity and sword blade that Ling humans cannot believe, the underground gnomes not only survive, but also prosper.
"Surface humans?"
In the distance, a dozen underground gnomes raised their weapons vigilantly and looked up at the three people on the thing for a moment. One of them asked, his voice a little child-sharp, but the expression on his face was stern and alert.
Edward nodded, "Yes." ”
The dwarf who took the lead doesn't talk nonsense either. He raised the pitch-black short spear in his hand and said, "Come with us, outsider." ”
"Where are you going to take us?" The half-elf looked at the short man in front of him curiously, and the serious expression on the other party's child-like face made her a little funny: "You know we're coming?"
"I don't know. But Graz welcomes most travelers from the Darklands, as long as you don't get into trouble. The gnome who led the tour replied simply, "You can find hotels and markets in the city." It is also your freedom to leave whenever you want. However, you must say hello to us before leaving. ”
After slowly walking through the twisting cave for a while, a tall stone wall appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and a heavy stone door painted with various strange symbols opened to both sides with a rattling sound in a special code...... Reveal a relatively wide space behind it.
"In the city. Do not use magic at will, and do not conflict with anyone, or you will be punished severely, the most severe punishment is to be hanged or sent to feed wild beasts. ”——
Hold on
Alas. New Year's Day is also uneasy&......
Less than half the height of the average person,
A few eyes came from all directions, and then a dozen gnomes emerged from the bunkers in the walls, holding delicate metal crossbows in their hands, but Edward could see much more than they appeared - the walls had almost been hollowed out into hiding holes, and there were many elite soldiers hidden inside. And there are at least a dozen spellcasters among them, and there are many more, well-made zuò magic bed crossbows - gnomes are short in body and do not have the same strength as dwarves, they are also tough warriors, but they have a natural affinity for magic, and they are also very good at making zuò props, crafting weapons and armor,

"We are indeed allies, but you can't make us do things that will cause great damage. The gnome shouted angrily, "Can't you see that guy is dangerous, if he's not a high-ranking mage, then I'm a beardless dwarf! Our city has just been founded, and you can't use these irrelevant speculations to push it down because he has one of your countrymen with him."
"That guy is a believer in spiders, not our countrymen!

In fact, if you speculate in the light of conspiracy theories, this may be Rose's purpose...... Well, or maybe this qiē is just a normal expression of the woman's moodiness, or the gods' consistent attitude towards mortal things, after all, she didn't tell herself that there is a city of gnomes (to be continued...... on the relay point of this portal)
