Chapter 16: The Land of Sins Zelandia

A few days later, a group of arachnoid drows pounced on each other without surprise, and could only look at each other in the face of the nest on the riverbank that was licked cleaner than a dog.

Levi, who is cautious by nature, naturally wouldn't have to stay where he was and wait for someone to find fault after making such a big noise.

Although he almost annihilated a gnoll tribe and more than twenty ogres with the power of a single dragon, and scared away a black dragon that was even more cowardly than he was back then, he knew very well that in this world of suspected high demon planes, his combat power might be able to bully ordinary creatures with no extraordinary strength under poor information and intelligence, but it was far from being able to dominate one side openly, maybe just a few professionals who were ready to memorize his spells that specialized in restraining him could make him fall into the gutter.

Most importantly, he was sure that as long as he dared to stay in that lair after the war, there would be forces to fight him.

Not for anything else, just because in the battle a few days ago, he also paid a lot of price in order to lure out the black dragon behind the scenes, and the slashing of the jackal and the ogre only caused him some flesh and skin injuries, but his almost zero-distance breath made him very uncomfortable.

Although he was almost immune to most of the fire elemental damage in the red dragon state, Li Wei at that time was afraid that the red dragon's flame breath would not be powerful enough, so he mixed in a little void ghost energy into it, so the unknown magic energy mutation reaction made the original flame breath directly turn into an earth-shattering large-yield explosion.

The shock wave from the explosion almost stunned him, as if all the internal organs and bones were displaced, two teeth were broken, and the scales on his body were even more lost, and now he was bald like a Shar Pei, and it was conservatively estimated that it would take at least half a year to grow back, provided that he had to have a deep sleep.

Such a move is not crazy, that scene has become the nightmare of the black dragon Kangvian, and it is also the origin of his being called the 'son of madness' by the kobolds.

Later, relying on a belief that 'if you fall, someone will pick up the corpse', he reluctantly supported him to finish the rest of the force, until he planted himself headlong into the river, and immediately transformed into a slime form, and fled for an unknown number of miles in the first place.

All the slimes obeyed his orders before the battle and were reduced to pieces, and after cleaning up all the loot, they hid in the shadows and turned into various small creatures such as scorpions, geckos, and beetles, and headed towards several predetermined nesting sites.

Yes, a scheduled nesting site.

In the past three years, in addition to occupying most of the time for eating and sleeping, Levi has spent almost all of the rest of his time exploring the dark regions.

The huge group of slimes, which are already close to six figures, have been stretching around the riverbank like his tentacles for several years.

Since the slimes dispatched individually are almost not threatening, and are almost all made up of unnutritious slime, and even the slime itself has a rancid smell of sewers, and is slightly corrosive and toxic, except for some hungry and crazy creatures who occasionally catch a few drinking ducks to quench their thirst, most slimes are able to return to their lair alive with what they consider to be 'valuable' and present to their silver thighs Levi.

As we all know, individual slimes have little brains to speak of, and it is conceivable what kind of strange things they bring back.

Most of them were the corpses of ordinary stones, weeds, and insects of no value, and even a stupid one came back with a mosaic like a mosaic, and the angry Levi slapped him back into the river.

But the beauty of this kind of thing is that when the base is large enough, something good will always appear.

For example, Levi urgently needs various metal mines, especially iron ore and copper ore, and even a lucky person found an associated Mithril mine, but I don't know what poisonous substances remained on that piece of Mithril, and the slime warrior got it back and died directly.

According to Levi's guess, nine times out of ten it was a green dragon's lair, and it was enough to go down in the history of their race if they were able to successfully steal a piece of Mithril from the dragon's lair that regarded money as their life with the body of a slime.

As soon as something Levi thinks is valuable, Pipym, the slime's IQ leader, will use their cluster consciousness to estimate the direction and approximate distance of the slime, and at this time, Levi will transform into a slime and go to the excavation site to investigate the site.

Over the years, he has explored hundreds of sites, and then sketched out a few good sites as future nesting sites.

As an alternative location, Levi set several conditions: that is, it is hidden enough, far away from the major forces, not within their patrol range, it is best to be close to the dark river, there are certain ore veins nearby, semi-enclosed, and at the same time, once besieged, there must be a hidden natural karst cave as an escape route.

In the end, the staging place chosen by Levi was a natural dome located more than 20 miles underground in the city of Gershorne ruled by Drow, which was much larger than the one Levi had occupied before, with a space of more than 200 miles. It is said to be the product of wild magic pouring out when Karthas used the Twelve Rings of Arcane [Karthus Divine Magic] to seize the power of the first generation of the goddess of magic, Misriel, causing the magic net to get out of control.

After the second generation of the goddess of magic revived and recovered the magic net, her control over the magic net was far inferior to that before the fall, which led to the fact that the magic net in some places was always unsupervised, and the magic net in these places was called the dark magic net, and it was also called the dead demon realm by the caster, and in this kind of territory, it was almost impossible to cast spells that relied on the magic net.

And this vault is the world of the dark magic net, so it has always been used as a sewer by the drow elves.

Initially discovered as a group of desperate goblins, they found themselves able to survive by picking up garbage, and soon thrived here.

But soon the group of goblins found that there were always some dead female drow elves thrown into the tunnel, and these corpses were happily picked up by the goblins, and then gradually there were living drow elves who fled here, well... The results speak for themselves, and they have almost all become the ancestral elves of the goblins.

As for why there are always female drow elves forced to flee here...

Originating from the belief in the Drow Elves, the spider god Queen Rose likes intrigue and struggle, and all kinds of deceitful seizures of power and persecution are easy to please Rose, and get her honor, which is famous all over the world in the tradition of Drow infighting, and the widely circulated books in the human world on the surface will use the good material of the Drow Elves.

To paraphrase a long-standing joke in Correll, a human scooper went to a city in the dark region to experience the taste of the drow elve, and demanded that the other party's identity must be honorable, so that he could have the hope of conquering.

As a result, the boss looked at him with the eyes of a hillbilly and pointed to a circle of girls and introduced: "Nine of these ten girls are the former eldest daughters of the major Drow families who failed in the struggle, and the last one is the former housewife who was brought down by her daughter's coup d'état soon after the success of the upper position, which one do you want?"

Obviously, these female drow elves are basically Lothel who lost the struggle of the Gerthorne City family.

After being battered and captured by the goblins, no matter how noble their previous status and amazing talent were, after endless breeding and giving birth, their trance-like brains remembered nothing and no longer understood anything except the desire for mating.

Goblins who have tasted the sweetness have even begun to sneak into the city through the complex sewers of Gerthohn City, sneaking into the city during the withering period of fluorescent moss (which is also the default night in the dark region), and picking up some drunken drow elves in front of some taverns and bringing them back underground to make free breeding tools.

If these goblins were able to turn a blind eye to some of the Lothel Drow elves who had failed in the struggle, it would be a bit too much for you to dare to go to the city to pick up corpses.

In particular, after the Drow elves who had just ascended to the throne of a certain family were also picked up and recovered, they had become a sow with only instinct left, and this blasphemy finally aroused the anger of the upper echelons of Gelthorn City.

What makes the Drow Elves very depressed is that since this underground dome is in the realm of the dead demons, and there are all kinds of narrow cave tunnels all around, after a few small clearances carried out by the Drow Elves, after a while, these damn green skins will always be able to revivenation, and the habits will be difficult to change!

The severity of the problem was finally put on the table of the Drow Elves, but due to the confrontation with the spirit-absorbing city of Iron Molten Castle, it was impossible to draw troops to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression.

For this reason, the Drow Elves had to organize a team to patrol the vault, but due to the thankless and poor environment, and after being repeatedly hacked (most of the Drow Elves themselves excluded dissidents), this system became a dead letter.

This happened until the arrival of a group of grey dwarf runaways.

Because they couldn't stand the oppression of the drow elves, and because the risk of escaping from the city gate was too high, they tried to choose this place as a transit point for their escape.

As a result, they discovered that there were extremely rich mineral deposits in this realm of the demons, and they immediately couldn't move their legs, so they risked being wiped out by the drow elves and settled here.

Luckily, they managed to operate quietly here for a while, but more and more gray dwarves fled here, and even a variety of other slave populations appeared, such as halflings, kobolds, gnolls, lizardmen, half-drakes, and even humans.

And the goblins whose combat power was crushed by them naturally dared not speak out.

By the time the Drow elves found out about the result, they had already formed a climate.

And these slaves named it ZeRanDiRian.

This is the land of sin.

Zeellandia.

At this time, it seemed that there were only two options left in front of the Drow Elf higher-ups.

Either pay a great price to exterminate these slaves who are huddled together for warmth and are not weak in combat, and then return to the situation of being attacked by goblins every day.

Or simply make some face-saving compromises and acquiesce to their existence, but Zelandia must pay a huge amount of various rare ores as taxes every month. In a way, this is the equivalent of opening a rich mine without much effort.

And with the conditions attached to the agreement, Zeellandia must take on the obligation to exterminate the goblins, at least to prevent the damn bastards from sneaking into the upper city to trouble them.

This choice is not difficult for the drow elves.

The drow elves, who put profit first and are notoriously shameless, gladly chose the latter, because the initiative is always in their hands.

As time went on, Zeellandia had to pay more and more taxes, especially as the conflict between the Drow Elves and the Iron Molten Cisters intensified, and the oppression reached a point where it was unbearable.

In a way, they have always been slaves of these drow elves, but under a different name.

And at this sensitive juncture, Levi came to this sinful land.

"I wonder if those slimes are doing their work according to plan?" Levi muttered to himself.
