0138 Deep Underground-1

I don't know what the reason is, but the deed ceremony of Jialan seems to have caused this young rat to have a certain atavistic phenomenon, or mutation, and regain a certain dark Mocha gopher characteristics.

Of course, the most likely possibility is the environmental impact of the vein explosion 1,700 years ago.

The dark mocha gopher, an underground creature, will inevitably undergo a certain mutation after leaving the living environment of the dark region, just as it is said in a proverb phrase in the same exotic language family "southern orange and northern orange", the southern orange transplanted to the north, will mutate into a plant of the same family called "wolf".

The thousandfold increase in elemental particles in the space environment has caused the Dark Mocha Gophers, like those that survived the Apocalypse, to mutate their physique to adapt to changes in their environment.

In this way, after thousands of generations of evolution, the "Dark Mocha Gopher" has not only changed from the title to the "Dark Demon Mouse", but also has the unique elemental characteristics of this era.

And each generation of rat queens, with their unique "flesh and blood inheritance" method, retains the extremely special special ability "blood family summoning" of the dark mocha gopher family.

However, Jialan's deed ceremony has changed this model of "flesh and blood inheritance", but instead let the new generation of young rats take off the shackles of the original inheritance and restore the flame ability of the underground ancestors in disguise!

In this way, after the young rat who has become the "contract beast" under Jialan, he has the dual elemental talents of the earth and fire types, and perhaps as the young rat grows up, the special abilities of the Dark Mocha gopher clan will gradually recover.

Of course, because of the difference in the spatial environment, there is still an essential difference between this young mouse and the dark mocha gopher of the pre-civilization era. It is impossible to completely atreturn to his ancestors, which Jialan knows best, because he himself is a tragedy of a former civilization that cannot adapt to today's space environment.

Although Jialan seems to be living like a fish in water in this era, in fact, only he knows the Tao, after all, he is different from the creatures who have undergone thousands of years of bloodline inheritance, and his old antique from 1700 years ago, even if it has been frozen for more than 1700 years, his physique has been slowly transformed for a long time, and he has barely adapted to the elemental environment of this era. But in essence, it is still excluded by this era.

Not to mention anything else, just the pure arcane physique that his elemental repelled had already caused him to be disidentified by this time and space, and he seemed so out of place in every way... Whether to find a way to make the present time and space recognize and accept itself, or to compromise with the present time and space. Change your physique to suit the environment?

This is a question worth pondering.

The "atavistic phenomenon" after the young rats gave birth to rats gave Jialan some ideas. Since the rat queen can "return to his ancestors". So can he also "atavize" in the elemental environment of cash?

Just when Jialan had been struggling with her own physique, the thieves who had gone to explore the depths of the ruins led by the golden thief Hugo came back and brought back the news that it was not good, and they found dark creatures in the ruins, and there were quite a few of them!

Jialan after discovering the ruins of this temple of the Worship of the Dragons. However, those who planned to develop this place and use it as their own secret research institute naturally couldn't allow those dangerous dark creatures to continue to entrench here, so they had to put aside thinking about their physique for the time being. Hurriedly gathered the silver mercenaries and magicians and hurried to the depths of the ruins.

Connected to the main hall of the rat cage is a wide cloister, and every twenty meters stands a stone pillar coiled with dragon reliefs, supporting the curved dome, and the exquisite frescoes and reliefs on the walls and ceiling, most of which have been mottled and lost their former glory.

The cloister was littered with metal remains and broken pieces of white marble, and it was clear that the marble statues and decorative armor that were supposed to be in the "Dragon Corridor" had been destroyed by the rats.

Thanks to the fire in the Squirrel Cage Hall, the heat and smoke killed a large number of underground creatures living here, and along the way, Jialan and the others did not encounter any danger except for finding the ground covered with huge bat corpses and piles of strange-looking large insects.

Connected to the dragon corridor is a vast underground plaza, with rows of magnificent marble pillars of ten people hugging each other, supporting the dome of this underground square with a ceiling of 50 meters.

It's hard to imagine how this spectacular underground building with an area of more than 300,000 square meters was excavated and built by the Worshippers back then, and this is not an architectural miracle that can be completed by manpower alone!

Each "dragon pillar" is carved with gorgeous dragon-shaped reliefs, although with the passage of time, most of these reliefs appear a little dilapidated and bleak, but you can still feel the grandeur and majesty of those dragons.

The slightly rectangular Dragon Square is connected to a total of ten dragon corridors, one due north and one south, and four on the east and west sides.

This shows that there are a total of ten functional areas like the Squirrel Cage Hall around this "Dragon Square", but after Hugo's advance exploration, the inside is either empty and nothing, or it is full of dust, ancient bones and debris of unknown origin, which looks worthless.

Only the two dragon corridors due north and due south are closed by huge and heavy stone doors, I don't know what is hidden in the tunnel, Hugo where they found the dark creatures, is located in the east side of the fourth dragon corridor connected to the main hall, just diagonal to the main hall of the squirrel cage.

In the center of the square, there is a peculiar fountain platform, the annular fountain is so large that it looks like a small lake from a distance, and some strange black bipedal dragon sculptures stand in the pool.

These black bipedal wyverns are emaciated, their backs and joints are covered with bone spurs, their wingtips are not the usual claw toes, but a curved, sharp bone hook, grinning mouths full of fangs, and ruby-inlaid eyes that seem to stare at you fiercely and full of hideous malice from that angle.

In the center of the platform made of black marble is a "deep well" with a diameter of about 50 meters.

Since it is impossible to know how deep this "deep well" is, standing next to the mouth of the unfenced well will make people feel inexplicably palpitating.

Jialan cautiously walked around the "wellhead", carefully observing the runic circle carved on the platform floor, while the mercenaries carefully stayed outside the fountain.

They had learned to stay away from these dangerous, magic-related things, and that any place with lines and strange words was best not to touch unless they knew what it was.

Because of this, even the most greedy thieves did not pick out the ruby eyes of those bipedal wyvern statues when they were in advance to investigate.

"Your decision is wise, those black bipedal wyvern sculptures are not ordinary mountain wyverns or flat wyverns, but a kind of wurm species that lives in the abyss of the earth, called 'Abyssal Wurm'. ”

Carefully stepping down from the platform, Jialan complimented the thieves: "I'm not sure what would have happened to you if you moved those statues, but the 'platform well' in the center of the fountain pool exudes a strong 'dark region' aura, if you are not mistaken, it is a passage to some dark country deeper underground!"

"But fortunately, there is a sealing array carved on the platform, judging from the extent of its intactness, in a short period of time, we don't have to worry about creatures from the dark region rushing out to attack us. ”

Jialan looked at the platform thoughtfully and said, "I suspect now, this is where the Dark Demon Rat and that flying head come from!" The mercenaries, especially the thieves, breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they hadn't touched these things before.

But what Jialan didn't tell them was that he was wondering why the Dragon Worship Sect wanted to open up a "dark well" to the dark region back then, and why Lu would raise dangerous underground creatures like dark mocha gophers.

Is it to summon the dark creatures for his own use?Or is he just trying to enter the dark region through this passage and plunder the rich mineral deposits there? Unfortunately, the Dragon Cult has disappeared, and the Dragon Cult has long since disappeared, and he is destined to not be able to figure out this secret.

Due to the fact that the two dragon corridors due north and south were sealed by heavy stone gates, the thieves had no way to open them with their locksmithing...... It had nothing to do with skill, no one but the giant could push open the two bulky doors that didn't need to be locked at all.

So Jialan and they could only choose the "East 4 Corridor" where the thieves found dark creatures, this corridor was the same as the others, with pillars carved with dragon reliefs, and the ground was full of rubble and dry bones, but the main hall connected by the corridor collapsed completely.

It wasn't the dirt above that collapsed, but the entire floor of the main hall collapsed, revealing a large hole that led nowhere!

According to Hugo, when they came here before, they heard the voices of people under the cave and the shaking of the fire, and there must be an underground tribe below.

While Jialan waited for the mercenaries to connect the ropes they carried with them so that everyone could go down, she was a little worried, how big is this ruin? It doesn't lead all the way to the depths of the dark region, does it? In that case, things will be in trouble! (To be continued......
