It turns out that this vast area deep under the sea is a completely self-sufficient underground world, with topography similar to a hilly basin, where many plants and animals have never been seen before, and because there is enough underfloor heating under the ground, most of the groundwater overflowing from the surface is natural hot springs containing minerals. The rock formation at the top of this mysterious world is roughly more than two thousand meters above the ground, and a large amount of steam on the ground rises and accumulates into thick clouds after the rock layer at the top, and it is not known whether the rock layer at the top is rich in fluorite or apatite, and it should be emitting a strong light like sunlight under heat or other reasons.

The Atlantean seems to be extremely simple in her thinking, and there is not so much hypocrisy and politeness in her interactions with people, and once she approves of you in her heart, she will communicate with you with all sincerity. According to Heidi, the reason why the current natural system in the Great Western Continent in front of him is that in addition to relying on the geothermal energy of magma deep underground, it actually relies on the energy crystals collected by the Atlanteans from all over the world more than 10,000 years ago, and those energy crystals can provide enough natural elemental energy to this world, which is what we call the five elements of energy: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

In addition, those high-level lifeforms from the lower realm of the upper space also left nine crystals full of high-level energy, and these nine crystals were placed in the nine directions of the Great Western Continent, forming a huge energy network, which can better support the operation and stability of the underground world.

Heidi rode on top of the big unicorn "Setty" with the little unicorn in her arms, and I walked to one side, and with the big unicorn's keen sense of smell and my mastery of tracking skills, we followed the group all the way behind the dark church. Heidi said that our current location is still on the outskirts of the Great Western Continent, far from the core, and along the way, the Atlanteans have already laid many traps and traps, and if we don't know the spell to unravel the trap, we will run into a lot of trouble, so we just need to follow the dark church from a distance.

In this way, along the way, I chatted with Heidi, who was very curious and interested in the modern world on the ground, and I was also very impressed by the Atlantean civilization.

......。

Back to the Church of Darkness. At first, after finally reaching the edge of the jungle in the Great Western Continent after many tribulations, the Dark Elder Bresta counted the number of people again, and after continuous attrition, only more than eighty people were still alive and capable of fighting. Originally, there were more than a dozen people who had been dragged down by the team due to serious injuries, and the ruthless Bresta secretly cast dark magic on these weak people who had no power to resist, and cleaned them up without a trace. For the ruthless Bresta, these players who could not continue to complete the task had completely lost the value of existence.

From the original few hundred people to the current only eighty or so people left, the big and small commanders of the Dark Church such as Bresta and Siens did not expect such a situation, they did not expect to encounter so many unexpected troubles under the sea. It is impossible to be in the current situation without the slightest worry about the future, but as members of the dark church, they will also die if they disobey the will of the church, so they must continue to carry out the instructions of the church even if they are reluctant.

"Sines, didn't the Chinese you brought with you follow?" Bresta asked.

"Yes, Elder, I counted the number of people just now, and he is indeed not among them. Sines said respectfully to Bresta.

"Forget it, we can't take care of him now, if he doesn't die, we can still use the soul contract to find him back, for now, let's continue to carry out the mission of the church. The head of the Knights, your subordinate Soromu and the captain of the mercenary team have all been martyred, and now you will be in charge of all the dark knights and mercenaries in the team. Based on the current situation, let's discuss the next arrangement....... "The experienced and calm Bresta reorganized the remaining personnel and effectively established a new management system.

When the Dark Church finished recuperating and continued on the road, he met Heidi, who was playing on the purple grassland. This is the first living person the Dark Church has seen since coming to the underworld, whether it is the legendary Atlantean or not, Bresta hopes to capture Heidi alive and find out something about the underworld from the purple-haired girl's mouth.

Perhaps seeing that Heidi was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, Bresta was a little careless, and only ordered two dark mercenaries to catch Heidi, but the unicorn Siti had a speed close to the wind, and its silver unicorn could release a powerful blue thunderbolt, plus Haidi rode on Siti to cast spells and chant spells and release fireballs, and the two dark mercenaries were a little helpless.

Seeing that this little girl was so domineering, Bresta was shocked, and ordered Sines to lead people forward.

Speaking of which, those who have been able to go all the way from many dangers to the present can definitely be regarded as the elite of the elite of the dark church. According to Bresta's plan, in the subsequent operation deployment, try to preserve the strength of the troops, and first send subordinates with lower strength to step on mines to minimize losses.

When Sines ordered three more Dark Knights and two Dark Mercenaries to join the battle to capture Heidi, the situation was immediately reversed. All of a sudden, I saw countless dark energy balls, poison darts, and even semi-automatic pistols and other forces all in unison beckoning to the unicorn.

In the face of attacks from all directions, the unicorn Seti in order to protect Heidi, suddenly took care of one or the other, it could not use its unicorn to shoot thunderbolts one by one at the same time to resist all attacks, in desperation, only to use its own body as a shield, but over time, as the scars on his body increased, Setty gradually became powerless.

In fact, Heidi had no combat experience at all, and she only cared about driving the unicorn to defend herself against the attacks of the Dark Church, until she found that the unicorn was seriously injured and dying. As a psychic beast, Sti also understood that the situation was not good, so he used his last strength to escape with Heidi at the speed he was best at.

Sti was very clever and feared that the people of the Dark Church would follow, so she used her fastest speed to choose the complex terrain to make a detour, and soon left behind the Dark Church who were trying to pursue her, until she brought Heidi to the steamy lake, where she finally collapsed due to overdraft and exhaustion, and then Heidi found that the unicorn was completely naked and miserable.

After losing the unicorn and the purple-haired girl, Bresta did not ask his men to continue to follow, but ordered all the personnel to continue to drive into the depths of the Great Western Continent, in this strange world, the search for dark energy and other treasures is the main purpose of the Dark Church's trip.

But what Bresta didn't expect was that after a while, they and the group went into a plant hell again.

After leading the group on foot for a few more hours, they came to a strange valley. In this valley grew many tall trees that resembled red monkeys, and on these trees, which were twenty meters tall on average, grew many extremely long vines full of barbs, which looked shocking because they were covered with barbs like sharp knives.

Many trees and countless vines are tangled together to form a world of barbed vines, and at the feet of the Dark Church is a stone path that leads through this world of vines in an unknown direction.

Bresta looked at the jungle of red vines in front of him, and felt a little depressed for no reason. According to the energy sensor in his hand, they were not traveling in the wrong direction, and they could reach the most energy-intensive center of the Great Western Continent if they continued to move forward, but this vine jungle looked so terrifying, as if they were about to fall into a trap full of barbs, Bresta forced himself to calm down, and told all the personnel to be on high alert and continue to move forward.

Soon after all the Dark Church personnel stepped into this jungle of vines, the dense vines and barbs overhead and around them obscured a lot of light from the clouds in the sky, forcing the Dark Church to turn on the pathfinder lights and continue to move forward.

Something even more maddening happened to Bresta again, and in a few moments the stone path under their feet came to an end, and in front of them was a cul-de-sac filled with vines. While they were hesitating about where to go, the Dark Knights suddenly found that the path had been cut off by dense barbed vines!

After hearing the news, not only Bresta but all the dark church personnel realized that something was wrong with this terrifying barbed vine.

A dark knight wanted to vent the frustration in his heart, so he took out the saber on his waist and slashed it a vine around him, but unexpectedly, after he slashed the vine with a sword, the saber was like a stone, and the huge anti-shock force suddenly reached the mouth of the dark knight holding the sword, he couldn't hold it at once, and the saber fell from his hand to the ground.

At this moment, the ground under the feet of the Dark Church suddenly began to tremble slightly, and all the trees and vines were also trembling.

Seeing this, Bresta suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted to put everyone on high alert, forming a defensive formation with mages and knights. As soon as he finished drinking, everyone saw that the barbed vines, which had been standing still, suddenly came to life at the same time, and began to stretch and stretch slowly.

Feeling the fluctuations of the natural elements suddenly surging out of his surroundings, Bresta hurriedly picked up the black staff in his hand and ordered everyone in a sharper voice: "Dark knights, join forces to form a protective shield, mages, please accumulate dark magic, and under my command, burn the dark magic fire all around, and burn these nasty vines!"

But before Bresta could finish speaking, with the more violent earthquake under his feet, suddenly, countless vines suddenly drilled out from the feet of the people of the Dark Church, and these vines were like flexible giant hands, which entangled many members of the Dark Church in an instant, and some of them were even entangled in their limbs and couldn't move. There were also sharp barbs of varying lengths on the vines, and many of them let out a miserable cry of pain when they pierced into the entangled dark church personnel.

At this time, all the vines all over the sky were like spiritual snakes dancing in the air, looking for an opportunity to entangle the people of the Dark Church. Except for those who were successfully attacked by the vines, the remaining Dark Church warriors had formed a defensive formation in a very short period of time, and the mercenaries and dark knights blocked the outside to form a layer of dark energy shield, which could block countless vines, no matter how the huge vines volleyed and slammed, they were temporarily blocked out by a translucent black shield.

The dark mages also began to chant their spells collectively, and as a mysterious language was read out of the mouths of several old mages with white eyebrows like a mantra, a large amount of dark energy suddenly poured out of the air.

Among the lone who failed to form a defensive formation with others in time, there were also a few with high skills, relying on their agile skills and flexible reactions, and jumped back into the defensive formation while dodging and moving. And those who have been entangled in vines have been entangled in more vines in a very short time, and those vines are really like pythons stalking their prey, and as many barbs like steel knives continue to pierce and penetrate deeper and deeper, most of the people who were still screaming and struggling at first have lost their voices. And a few who are not yet dead try to cut these thick vines with their swords or daggers, but they do not know that these vines are like steel bars, and it is completely useless to cut on them.

"Great Demon God, please grant your followers to let the flames of demonic fire spread throughout the universe. As Bresta finished chanting the incantation, under his unified command, the mages in the various defensive formations were ordered together, and in an instant, it was like a large black chrysanthemum-like flame blooming from each defensive array, each chrysanthemum bloomed more and more, and a large area of flames surged and converged together, making the entire vine jungle instantly a black sea of fire.

The flames, which Bresta calls magic fire, seem to be alive, and they quickly cling to the vines and spreading in all directions, and the vines seem to have been doused with gasoline, and the whole body of the "poo" is quickly ignited.

Although these vines were indestructible and super tough, they were still wooden bodies, and as the many vines in the front row that attacked the Dark Church Defense Array were ignited by the black magic fire, after encountering the flames with powerful dark energy, many vines were also burned and trembled, as if they felt great pain, and began to retreat one after another. The vines in the back row saw that all the vines in the front row were on fire and were retreating to the back, and they hurriedly retreated, for fear of being burned by the flames, so that the Dark Church and his party finally forced back these deadly vines.

"Listen, mages, don't waste your mana, take back the magic fire condensed fireball, just release the fireball to force back the vines that dare to make a second time, the dark knights continue to form a formation to be prepared, everyone continues to move east, if you encounter a vine blocking the way, use the magic fire to open the way!" Bresta didn't want to stay in this barbed vine that covered the sky and the sun, so he gave the order to continue walking.

After receiving the order, each circular defensive formation of ten to twenty men began to move slowly eastward, and when the four defensive formations were withdrawn from the battlefield that had been attacked by vines, only charred branches and a dozen corpses were pierced into a hornet's nest.

Sines carefully protected Bresta, the spiritual leader of all the current dark church personnel, and looked at the dozen or so companions who had suffered miserably, and whispered to Bresta with a little worry: "Elder, you see, we have lost more than a dozen good hands, if this continues, I am afraid it will ......." ”
