I don't know how deep the road is, on both sides of the cliff of the Great Rift Valley, there are two wrecks of iron chain bridges that have been broken due to rust, and on the opposite side of the Great Rift Valley, I don't know how wide the road is in the underground world.

Standing next to the Great Rift Valley, which gushes updrafts and moist air from the ground, Jialan and the others finally discover the source of the "firelight" and "human voice" discovered by the thieves during their investigation.

On the other side of the Great Rift Valley, a settlement of underground creatures is coming from a noisy movement, and under the dim yellow light of the flickering torches, two groups of "underground creatures" who can't see clearly seem to be clashing!

"Those ...... on the other side"

Hugo stood on tiptoe and looked across the Great Rift Valley for a long time, then pointed to a large shadow on the opposite bank with a strange face, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's a tree?"

Carter, the golden shooter with superior vision, nodded: "That's right, it's a tree." ”

Hugo was puzzled and said, "What can be a tree?"

Carter rolled his eyes: "How can I know the truth!"

The two had some nonsensical conversations, which was also the doubt in the hearts of others, although things like trees were not unusual, but here is hundreds of meters below the ground, there is no sunlight, how do they grow?

Although this large rift valley tens of meters wide is bottomless, and it should be impossible for the underground creatures on the opposite side to cross over and pose a threat to the ruins of the Worship Dragon Sect Temple, which has become the property of Jialan, they can't let it go, after all, they have searched the ruins and found no trace of the flying head who escaped.

The undead bloodsucking creatures of the Flying Head Barbarian are not naturally generated, just like several hired men in Doom Castle, it reproduces by infecting the derivation, so there must be a "source".

In the ruins that Jialan had explored, she had found no traces that could lead to the formation of the Flying Head. This shows that the flying head man who was seriously injured by the mercenaries and struggled to "return to the nest" was not the "inhabitant" of this dragon worship ruins, but flew over from the opposite side of the great rift underground!

This trip to explore the ruins is really tortuous and makes Gu Yi feel amazed, starting from the castle dungeon, until the big crack in the underground, the area of this underground ruins has exceeded everyone's imagination, this can no longer be regarded as a ruin. It's a complete dungeon!

Although the cost of purchasing the castle is very valuable, compared to the castle complex with an area of 100,000 pyeong (about 330,000 m2) and the surrounding land of more than 12 million pyeong (about 40 km2), the price of 8 million quintalan is based on the economic environment and consumption level of the current era. It can only be regarded as the price of cabbage.

But no one thought that under the Doom Castle. It even comes with a complete dungeon of this size. This is no different from spending money to buy a cabbage, but the seller has a farm, and even Kenmet and the others can't help but feel jealous of Jialan's good luck.

However, if this dungeon wants to be renovated, I am afraid that it will cost to repair it. It will be ten times more than a hundred times the purchase of Fort of Doom.

But in any case, the ruins of this dungeon city are already the property of Jialan, to use a short sentence of an exotic proverb. That is, "next to your own bed, how can you allow other people to snore." ”

Therefore, after carefully observing for a while, they noticed that the underground creatures on the other side of the Great Rift were not too dangerous, and the mercenaries began to prepare to cross the Great Rift.

The mercenary group with a mage in charge was obviously in an advantageous position when dealing with this aspect, and a wind mage flew over the chasm with a rope and tied it to the root of a large tree on the opposite bank.

Then, under the control of that intermediate earth magician, a large mass of earth surged, layer by layer attached to the rock wall of the large chasm, and gradually climbed the rope to extend to the opposite bank, slowly forming a dirt arch bridge!

When the two-meter-wide earth arch bridge was formed, several junior earth mages, replacing the intermediate earth mages who consumed a lot of mana, began to release the "earth reinforcement technique" on the dirt arch bridge to make it stronger.

Although this dirt arch bridge cannot be compared with the stone bridge, it is not too much of a problem to use in a short time, but in order not to put too much pressure on the dirt arch bridge, the group is still cautiously divided into groups of five people to cross the bridge, and soon completed the flight.

When Jialan crossed the arch bridge, she looked at the big crack on both sides that didn't know where the road extended for a while, and she suspected that this place was located on the same underground abyss as the Yanqiao Hall behind the secret gate due south of the ring hall!

Walking through the low, twisted, leafless strange woods, the crowd lurked outside the range of the torches held by the two groups of underground creatures who were fighting, but they were surprised to find that one of them was actually a dwarf, and the other was actually a group of lizards!

Although racial integration has become a trend in the current era of city-state politics, in the southern continent where Gilargo County is located, there are very few dwarves and lizards in groups, so these two races are considered minorities in the Coran region.

In particular, the lizard-people mostly live in humid rainforests, wetlands or swamps, and they are rarely seen in Gilargo, but there are some settlements in the Toraco Marshes and Kara Rainforests of Dagon County.

But in any case, these two races should belong to the surface race, and for some reason they appeared in this mysterious underground.

The mercenaries hiding in the darkness all stared at Jialan with shining eyes, waiting for him to decide, whether to help the dwarves or the lizards?

But Jialan squinted her eyes, staring at the battlefield of the melee, and never said a word.

These mercenaries living in the Apocalypse Era have no understanding of the dark region at all, so they naively think that the dwarves and lizards who are fighting are surface races, and even tend to help those dwarves because the relationship between humans and dwarves is not bad.

However, for Jialan, who once lived in the dawn of pre-civilization, it was easy to distinguish the true identity of the two races from certain characteristics on their bodies.

The two races that are at war do belong to the dwarf race and the lizard-man race, but one of them is an "underground dwarf" and the other is a "ground lizard"!

Just as the large number of human beings is divided into a large number of different ethnic groups according to factors such as nationality, region, skin color, race, etc., each race also has a large number of subspecies.

For example, Kenmet's "dwarves" usually refer to the "hill dwarves" who have the most contact with humans and have intersecting living areas, while in addition, there are different dwarf peoples such as "lowland dwarves", "mountain dwarves", "mountain dwarfs", etc., who live on the surface of the earth.

Underground, the "Underground Dwarves", the close relatives of the "Lowland Dwarves", live now, and what they see now is the "Underground Dwarves" among the "Underground Dwarves".

There are many dwarf races, and it is difficult to distinguish them so clearly according to human habits, so in the pre-civilization era, some mages who studied biological races used a "Race Living Environment Map and Elevation List" to divide them into an interesting classification:

Alpine dwarves – above 5,000 meters above sea level;

Mountain dwarves - 1000~3000 meters above sea level;

Hill dwarf - 500~1000 meters above sea level;

Lowland dwarves - 0~500 meters above sea level;

Near-Earth Dwarves - -500~0 meters above sea level;

Mid-earth dwarves - altitude - 1000~3000 meters;

Deep Dwarves - below 5000 meters above sea level;

In addition, in the areas above 5,000 meters above sea level and below -5,000 meters above sea level, there are also some rare "distant relatives" of dwarves, such as "sky dwarves" and "abyssal dwarves", but it is almost impossible to see them in the Anthropocene realm, and even the dwarves themselves are not very aware of the existence of these distant relatives, so they are omitted.

Like the dwarves, there are also many kinds of lizards, and the most common ones in the surface world are rainforest lizardmen, wetland lizardmen, swamp lizardmen, or collectively known as "land lizards", and rarely, that is, "sea lizards", but they all belong to the "scaleless lizard people".

These in front of me are another branch of the lizard tribe living underground, the "ground lizard tribe", which can be divided into "lizard hunting tribe", "iguana tribe", "war lizard tribe" and so on, although it still belongs to the "scaleless lizard tribe", but basically has no much blood relationship with the "land lizard clan" lizard people.

As for the distant relatives of the "scaleless lizard people", the "scaled lizard people", because the blood relationship is too far, let's not talk about it for the time being, just talk about the "lizard hunters" among these "ground lizard people".

Just as the darkness rejects the light and the undead hate the living, these races that live underground and are regarded as "dark creatures" by humans are naturally repelled by surface creatures, and are far less kind than the mercenaries imagined, so according to Jialan's idea, it is best not to help each other, and after they are both defeated, they will go out to clean up the battle.

But things were never as rosy as they had imagined, and these lizard-hunters, who had an extremely keen sense of smell, soon sensed the presence of outsiders, and even separated a group of warriors and rushed towards the low woods where Jialan was hiding!

Jialan shrugged helplessly, now they don't have to choose who to help.

Since entering the ruins of the Dragon Worship Sect, all the mercenaries they have encountered are silver-level demonic beasts "Dark Demon Mouse" and even golden skeletons that exceed the strength of the vast majority of mercenaries, and the mercenaries who have long been so aggrieved that they can't do it even need the leader's order, they excitedly pulled out their weapons one by one and rushed out.
