Chapter 229: A Journey to the Underground (4)
In contrast to humans on the ground, there are also a variety of creatures living underneath the ground. The most famous of these are, of course, the dwarves, who love ores and spirits, and are considered close relatives of humans like gnomes and elves, and are therefore the most acceptable to humans.
The second is a branch of the elves in the dark realm - the dark elves, these dark-skinned elves have superb combat skills and bloodthirsty battles**, even they live in their own tribes all day long in fighting and killing, so there are not many of them, but each one is strong, otherwise they will not be able to survive in the world of dark elves.
Another of the more famous creatures is the Mind Flayer, which has a human body but has four "tentacles" extending below its face - tentacles that are not only organs for feeding, but also capable of surprising enemies in melee attacks.
The Mind Flayer has a high level of intelligence, but it also lives underground in the Dark Realm, with its own cities, which are numerous and not large. It is said that these terrifying creatures that will reach the peak level of the third order as long as they reach adulthood should occupy a very important place in the dark realm, but the way the Mind Flayer eats is to suck the brains of intelligent creatures, and there is no distinction between race and foe. At the same time, their eggs also require the body of humanoids as a host, and such a cruel way of survival has made the Mind Flayer also have a very bad reputation in the Dark Realm, so they are excluded from the main seat of the Dark Council.
In addition, there are many other races living underground, but no matter how many or not, famous or not, they all have the same talent - dark vision, they can see every grass and tree in the darkness of the nearest thirty or forty meters, and the farthest distance of hundreds of meters, so they can live in the underground environment for a long time.
Although the human race is huge, it is precisely because of this innate talent that the underground world is full of unknown mysteries and deadly dangers for them.
However, for the small group of humans who were now traveling through an underground passage somewhere in the Pale Mountains, it was clear that several of them did not fall into the category just mentioned.
As soon as Leon gave a hint to stop, Erin immediately cast a two-ring secret method "Dark Vision" on herself, which could see a scene of about forty meters, and lasted for fifteen minutes, and the alchemist took out several bottles and threw them to Leon, Katerina, Melissa and the two rangers.
"Drink it, and you'll have the same effect as Dark Vision in fifteen minutes! Everyone else doesn't need this as long as they're standing in the back!"
"It's close, everyone's attention!" Leon looked up again, turned to Kaka and said, "Mentor, the scope here is not large, you better try not to use too powerful potions, I am worried that the soil layer above will not be able to stand it." ”
Kaka also noticed this, "Well, I'm mainly guarding the rear, although there is no fork in the road all the way, but there may be something from above, you can just let it go!"
The few people who got the potion fixed the torch in their hands to the soil layer next to it, and then drank the potion dry in one gulp, and so did Leon, because he knew that although the battlefield map was covered by 360 degrees, the range was only 20 meters, and the effect of the potion was more than double this distance.
Almost instantly, the potion had an effect, the sight began to turn reddish, and the darkness beyond the torch seemed to be slowly dispelled, and soon the line of sight expanded to forty meters, and the source of the sound was discovered—there were countless creeping creatures slowly surrounding.
"Ghouls, elite ghouls, mummies, underground spiders......" Caterina said the names of each of these creatures with a solemn face.
"There are more than two hundred that can be seen," Erin squinted, her face equally stern.
"It seems to be a big battle," the alchemist stood behind, pulling out a few bottles of potion in his hand, ready to support these young men who were facing an unprecedented and powerful enemy.
Leon's voice reached everyone's ears at this time, "Everyone pay attention to my commands. ”
"Dan and Adil, you two keep an eye on the top of your heads, there will be enemies coming there too, Melissa, you must not enter the enemy group again this time, just help the two of them not to let any enemies come from above. ”
"Erin, use more secret methods that hinder their progress, and now add all the auxiliary secret methods to me and Katarina. ”
"Sophia, give us all the auxiliary magic, Luna, and add the micro-rejuvenation in advance. ”
"Katarina, activate your defensive skills and your knightly motto. ”
One command after another was issued in an orderly and continuous manner, and the young lord's calm and calm voice gradually infected everyone, and a colorful spell light immediately appeared in the crowd.
Leon raised the giant axe, slammed it on the ground, and pointed at the creeping creature that was still more than twenty meters away, "This battle is centered on me, Caterina keeps a distance of five meters behind me, and all the enemies that miss need you to defend." ”
The knight girl held her sword across her chest, "Understood!"
At this time, Leon no longer had the slightest feeling of youth, and in the eyes of his peers, he had truly become a mature leader who could lead everyone to victory.
Leon stepped forward five meters, and with a giant axe, roared, "Come on, reptiles!"
The sound resounded back and forth in the passage, and the undead creatures seemed to be stimulated by the loud noise, and began to accelerate, scrambling to sprint forward, in their eyes, these ten humans were like fat meat to their mouths, as long as they rushed over, they could be overwhelmed with numbers.
The distance was narrowed meter by meter, and Leon seemed to have no sense of the enemy's full speed gallop, maintaining a straight posture, waiting for their arrival.
Twenty meters, a layer of thorns appeared in their path, and a dozen ghouls at the front immediately stepped into it, and the sharp pain caused them to roll in the thorns and then be kicked away by the elite ghouls behind. The thorns flew like shredded paper under the feet of these powerful creatures equivalent to the pinnacle of the Second Order, and they could not have the effect they should have.
Fifteen meters, two layers of cobwebs landed on the elite ghoul's body, but they scratched it a few times, at most they tied up the ghouls stuck around them, and then the bulky mummy stepped on it, trampling the ghoul and the cobwebs into a pool of blood.
Ten meters, Erin bit her lip, and at this time she could see the ugly faces of the undead creatures and the slime dripping from the corners of their mouths as they ran, while the elves raised their bows and fired a volley at the swarm of spiders crawling on top.
At five meters, more than a dozen elite ghouls who rushed to the front had already jumped up, dozens of underground spiders crawling on the top of the cave fell down with slender silk threads on their tails, their mouthparts open to reveal a circle of fine jagged fangs inside, and many more undead creatures that could not be seen at a sight followed behind like a sea of mountains, pounced on the young humans who seemed to want to fight the undead creatures on their own.
Almost.
Leon took a deep breath, and then suddenly let out a roar that was not at all human, this voice was long and high-pitched, and it spread far down the passage, and at the same time formed a substantial circle of sound waves in the conical range in front of him, and continued to spread outward with strong shocks.
Then an even more shocking scene appeared, the bodies of all the undead creatures in the sound wave range were shocked like catkins in a storm, flying, churning and rolling backwards, and the skin of their bodies appeared one after another wounds cut by invisible fluctuations, and then gradually became larger, torn, and disconnected, and after a few seconds, the entire body was torn into pieces of flesh and blood, even underground spiders, even mummies, and even elite ghouls could not escape such a fate.
Although the people behind him were very close to Li Ang, such an impact had no effect on them at all, but at this time everyone was stunned, as soon as Kaka's hand was released, a glass bottle fell, fortunately, the alchemy master's reaction was quite agile, and the bottle was copied back into his hand before it could fall to the ground, but his eyes did not look down at all, but stayed in the amazing explosion of the apprentice.
Erin's eyes were a little wider open than usual, and they shone very brightly, and she muttered to herself, but she couldn't hear anything under the roar.
Caterina pursed her lips with surprise and admiration on her face, her hands holding the sword sometimes slack and sometimes tense, as if expressing her current mood.
The calmest was Sophia, with a satisfied smile on her face, one hand clenched into a fist on her chest, as if she was cheering on the young man at the front.
The roar stopped abruptly, and it lasted for ten seconds, and when the sound wave also completely dissipated, the cone range of dozens of meters in front was empty, and the originally dense undead creatures were swept away, leaving only a dozen mummified elite ghouls still standing covered in blood, as if they were scared stupid.
Li Ang was slightly panting, although he knew that the awe-inspiring roar of the red dragon's talent must be strong under the bonus of his own strength and willpower, he didn't expect the effect to be so terrifying, and the consumption was also a little amazing, but now was still not the time to sigh, he immediately raised the giant axe, waved it at those undead creatures that were outside the range of the combat skill, and shouted.
"Kill!"
