Dark Regions. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

The most mysterious and dangerous place in the main material plane.

Since a long time ago, it has been the birthplace of many horror legends. This is a paradise for killing, and this is a paradise for the depraved conscience...... The ruthless and ruthless dark elves dance in the shadows, the treacherous and untrustworthy underground halflings sneer in the darkness, the minotaurs peep into the caves that delight their own blood and the pain of their enemies, the spirit-sucking monsters known for their evil wisdom that feed on the brains of others have built their vast empires on the magma, and it is even rumored that in the deepest depths of the earth, in the portals forged of blood and bones, a steady stream of demons are being sent out that can make the whole world tremble, bring endless destruction and death.

That is the dark region of the human heart on the surface.

There was a sense of tranquility in the underground caverns, and the sound of dripping water could be heard in the caves in the distance, and the entire underground world was surrounded by darkness, which was like a black mist with an erosive nature, and little by little penetrated into the traveler's heart.

But there is still light.

Glow rocks, glow-in-the-dark crystals, and phosphorescent mosses, lichens, and fungi dimly illuminate some places. They shimmered, illuminating the damp dark mountain walls, and the gray fungi on the ground glowed faintly blue, and these spore plants spread like a carpet on the ground, and with a slight vibration, some dim spots of light, their spores, were scattered into the air.

"Stop playing, it'll be inhaled in your nose. Edward's voice passed through the low stalagmites. The hollow sound that formed in the cavern made him frown himself.

"Oh. Miss Lisa-Linobili pursed her lips and replied with some reluctance.

But she stomped her last kick hard, causing the silver glow to erupt like fireworks. A slice of air lit up. "Can this thing grow on the ground?" she scurried around a crack and kept up with the Psychic Warlock.

"It doesn't take a few decades to grow such a big piece. Edward shook his head, his dark burqa fluttering in the dim light and shadow, as if blending with the darkness in the distance, except for two silver glows in his eyes in the shadow of his hood.

Distant caverns, entangled in dark shadows that unite into gray. Finally melted into the darkness, but for Edward, the darkness was no different from the afternoon sun.

His gaze swept over the figures in front of him.

"The Dark Lands are a barren world. There are two overriding guidelines here: survive and destroy the enemy. ”

Dwarven voices. There was a subtle buzzing echo in this silent space: "Although this is the summary of those black skins, there is indeed a little bit of truth. You're pretty good, but here, you'd better pay more attention to the top. Those Lockthroat Monsters love nothing more than to strangle your neck from above. And then hang you up...... You're too light on weight and too thin on your neck, so it's a hassle. ”

"Won't they notice your loud voice?" the half-elf Meliane who was listening to this frowned in a lesson-like tone. His low voice was a little hoarse. But even so, the voice still echoed in a delicate way. It spread far away.

"Generally speaking, black skins don't even go near where there's light. Because their eyes can't stand it...... As for the other things, hehe, I promise, even if you don't say a word, they can hear your heartbeat, so the best way for us to do this is to be the first to find them, rather than thinking about whether they will find out or not. ”

"I hope so. The half-elf shook his head, and then lightly jumped over a sharp stone cone, like the dwarf, his bloodline, so that his eyesight far surpassed that of humans, as long as a little glimmer, it was no different from usual.

But not everyone is so familiar with the road.

The two people who followed behind the Psychic Warlock were quite stumbling rituals.

Of course, most of the problems still came down to the shorter woman, and the prismatic stones on the ground seemed to make her quite difficult to deal with, and it was only with a stubbornness and the support of her companions that she barely dragged her trembling steps.

Edward shook his head.

As the former King of Hunters, he knew very well that a standard adventurous team was originally about four or five people, and there were not enough people to keep vigil if there were too many, and it would be difficult to control them if there were too many. Especially in a ghost place like the Dark Regions, too many people will only increase the chance of being raided, but in fact, there are already a lot of them.

But this is already the best lineup after streamlining, the dwarves have the deepest understanding of the dark region, so naturally they can't help but take it, Miss Linobili's magic is the strongest of all the dark lady believers, and she can also use teleportation, and she can't give up. However, her self-preservation ability is insufficient, so the half-elf Meliane must follow, and Claudia's swordsmanship and ability are extraordinary, even more so.

As for Miss Anna Sue who dragged the oil bottle...... Well, if she hadn't been brought along, the villagers wouldn't have been able to keep an eye on her.

Sealing off the passage is just a disguised escape - and as the dwarf said, in this plane with magical magic, it doesn't actually take a lot of effort to reopen a passage, but rather makes you more passive because you can't understand the other party's situation.

What's more, Edward still has a curiosity about the underground world. Or rather, it's exploratory - the higher his ability has become, the more he relies on psionic energy. But the information at hand is becoming more and more scarce, if you can't find a really suitable solution. Then, just like the Spirit Crystal servant said, he must go to the city of Spirit Sucking Monsters sooner or later. This time, there is a passage around the territory, which may be a good opportunity.

Of course, the Dark Regions are extremely vast, and generally speaking, all humans can achieve is the Dark Regions close to the surface of the underground world where they have large-scale contact with the surface races. It is home to many races such as dark elves, dwarves, underground gnomes, and nezumi.

As for the Eye Demons. Or the Mind Flayer and the like, they are usually located in the depths of the dark regions, at least more than 100 miles or even more than 200 miles from the surface, even if they are underground creatures. It is impossible to set foot in a terrifying area that you don't want to set foot in, so why not take advantage of the convenience and gradually explore a safe route?

The other is. The closer you get to the ground, the richer the earth elemental will become, and if you can build a small base in some deep enough places, then you will have that earth elemental creature on hand. It can undoubtedly exert more power, even if it needs to be recharged frequently. It is only necessary to establish a stable transmission method to solve the problem.

The dwarf glanced around indifferently, then jumped over a shallow pit in the ground, "Of course. The blackskins are cunning and don't lightly build cities very close to the surface...... Well, actually, whether it's the bearded gray-skinned gnomes or whatever, they usually build their nests far from the ground and build a teleportation circle. ”

"How big is the teleportation circle?" Edward's voice sounded in everyone's hearts. Let the dwarf shudder.

"I said Edward boy, can't you stop talking in this way?" he muttered, "Looking at this, it may not be a teleportation array, and it doesn't seem that anyone has used the cave here." Those blackskins probably haven't figured out the shortest route yet, if our eldest lady's spell isn't mistaken. ”

"You can find your own way, don't you keep saying that this place is no different from your neighborhood. ”

The dwarf snorted and didn't seem to hear anything.

Since the underground world is actually some big caves, they are not like the ground, they just need to find their way to go. They are only accessible through the connecting caves of a specific location in Guò. Even dwarves find it difficult to find the right route in such an unfamiliar place, so it is actually Miss Lino Bili who provides guidance - among the divine arts, there is a kind of pathfinding technique, which can find a route to any goal, and it is the shortest route, but this magic is as high as the sixth order, which is not something that ordinary priests can use.

"Tell us more about the dark elves, their weaknesses, their abilities, and whatever, anything. ”

"Drow, there's nothing to boast about other than the figures of those priestesses, I think...... They are fast and good at stealth raids, and their knives are fast and ruthless. But as long as you get the hang of it, it's not a problem to deal with them, the strength is too small, and you're particularly afraid of bright light, I remember the last time, the guys in Rock Spoon City got a batch of human mage stuff out of nowhere, it's the kind of beads that can burst out of light? Although those spellcasters are not very good at fighting, they still have some achievements in those gadgets. ”

"You seem to have said before that you have a leg with Drow?"

"Ah, who knows, you don't have to ask about this, anyway...... Well, there's nothing bad about Drow. The dwarf took another sip, then reluctantly put the bottle away—Edward had warned him that if he drank too much, he would only be left here: "If they were younger, they would be stupid, and most of the things they know are boring things." ”

It is impossible to be like your human city underground, so big and so many people, even the largest cities are only more than 50,000 people. The dwarf blew his beard: "And the blackskins have never known the power of unity, and stabbing each other is their specialty, so the number of people is even smaller, maybe 30,000 is already a lot! Normally, it is more than 10,000 people, and besides, these guys are very fond of forming small circles, and there are at least fifty or sixty families in a city." Rip each other off. If you want to develop, you can't develop. ”

"So generally, they send out some patrols, but that's about a dozen people...... Be careful, though. Because they are very well equipped with hands, cold arrows and sneak attacks, and it is very likely that there are some spider priests, those women can not only use spells, but also that kind of whip is especially troublesome, if it is bitten, the toxin in it is difficult for us to resist, you small body. Not to mention. ”

"Well, by the way, you'd better be extra careful, because the Blackskins have an extreme hatred for their cousins on the surface. If I missed, I would have been caught by them and taken to the mines for hard labor, but if it was you, they would be happy to wash you as soon as possible, and then push it up to the altar to please their bitch god. ”

"Of course. If you run into a problem, it's best to claim to be a caravan, so that you can also receive a little courtesy, En. Edward boy, inside that space bag you have in hand. There must be some cloth or magic items or something, right?"

"They won't attack caravans? I've heard that the drows are born bandits. Miss Priest frowned, as if there were countless terrible enemies hidden behind every pillar: "Will there be people trading with robbers?"

"Caravans, for these guys from the underworld. It is something that is protected together, not without fools who murder and enslave caravans in peacetime, but who no longer have access to useful resources, and will soon be invaded and slaughtered. So these smart bastards will be a little more restrained, but those black skins have a crooked reason, no one proves it, so you have to make them understand that even if you can be defeated, it is impossible for them to destroy it, so that you can take the initiative. ”

"As for the deal...... Gnomes, gray dwarves, and some of the more remote places in the empire are said to be more remote places, and some guys will trade with them, after all, those black skins are good at mining dark adamantite and some unique gems, which are quite rare materials in the eyes of magicians, and underground, these things are not valuable, and their slaves dig minerals from the ground day and night. Oh, it's still too shallow and so cold. ”

The dwarf grinned greatly, made an excuse for himself, and then pulled out his bottle:

"Of course, human businessmen don't usually pay much attention to good or evil, huh...... Actually, Edward boy, if you're interested, you can try to deal with those rock gnomes or something, with your cunning...... No, it's wisdom, and with your wisdom, you should be able to pull a lot of oil and water out of their hands. ”

The Psychic Warlock raised an eyebrow, admitting that it was a good building...... Lighting materials, food, magical items, cloth, these cheap and deadly things on the surface can be bought at a very high price underground, and the spider silk and other things in the underground are also the most sought-after goods in the human world, usually only the big nobles can own a few pieces.

"I remember my father telling me that those ugly, evil, filthy creatures are born and pure fighters, and that they don't bother to do such boring things, and that they kill every living thing they see until they are all gone. Miss Lisa said.

"Well, that's true, and that's not true. Miss Little Girl. The dwarf let out a laugh: "Actually, it should be true that they kill people, as long as you are their enemy, you have to pay attention, but they are not fools, and they are very good at reading words." As long as you are stronger than them, they will be very deferential, so people like Edward Kid will definitely be treated as if they were guests, and human mages can't get along on the ground, and although it is rare to run to the dark regions, it is not uncommon...... Well, wait. ”

He suddenly stopped and twitched his big red nose: "Strange?"

But he quickly pulled the spear and axe from his back, for he noticed that the black burqa had also stalled—and the Psiomancer inhaled softly, turning his gaze to the cavern not far ahead, obscured by the rock wall.

The taste of blood.

In the flowing air of the tunnel, a strong fishy smell wafted from the dullness. When they had traveled less than half a mile, they noticed a small corpse lying on the ground.

It looks a bit like a person, but if you look closely, you can see a lot of differences—his hands and feet are almost the same length, the mud that looks like his clothes is tangled with gray hair, and on a pointed head, there is an area that looks like a face, but it is full of wrinkles, and a few sparse hairs are messily covering the top of his head.

"What the hell...... Nezumi. ”

The dwarves rarely lowered their voices. "It's hard stuff, these things don't have any brains, but there are a lot of them, and they'll rush up and gnaw everything with their teeth, and they don't care if you crush them into a pulp!"

"How many?"

"Who knows, depending on the luck, if Moladin blesses, then there are a dozen, but these things have very good ears and noses, and if they hear something, they may gather in a big group!" The dwarf carefully bypassed the corpse, "Let's get out of here, besides, don't make a sound." ”

"Help!

A terrible scream spread down the cavern and spread far away...... (To be continued......)
