Chapter 649 Shicheng
"I really didn''t expect that the underground would be so dangerous."
Sitting in the chair and staring around, Emilia sighed, and Kasim and Roxa next to her also looked like they empathized.
"The judge told us before that it was difficult to leave underground, and we thought it could be overcome at that time. It was so...it was taken for granted."
No wonder the three of them were so tired. After they separated from Duanmuhuai, they of course chose to enter the dark area, and then they worked hard to pass the underground maze, and then... for the three of them, the nightmare began.
In the dark underground, the biggest problem lies in time. There is no such thing as a watch in this world that can see time, and in the dark underground world, fledgling adventurers can''t tell the time at all. They don''t even know how many days they have spent in this dark tunnel.
In addition, the monsters everywhere in the dark area are as dangerous as those terrible plants.
For example, the shiny moss even sprays poisonous gas, causing the inhaled creature to fall stiffly to the ground and unable to move. Qasim accidentally fell into trouble. If Emilia hadn''t been a Paladin, he would have been unable to save her.
At the same time, they also encountered a giant monster called an underground worm, about the same size as a subway train. If the three of them hadn''t been running fast, they would have been eaten long ago.
Not to mention that when escaping from the underground worms, Luo Xia accidentally separated from the other two people. She couldn''t tell the difference between the east, south and west underground. You could only see one underground passage after another, and you couldn''t even figure out where these passages lead. It was also thanks to their luck that they met again - otherwise they might have been completely lost in the dark area.
In the end, the three finally met a patrol team of underground dwarfs. Fortunately, the underground dwarfs are a rare kind race in the dark area. They entertained the three of them to rest in their city, which made the three of them finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"I never thought that the dark area would be so terrible."
Luo Xia curled up in the chair, and the warm drink in her hand could not dispel the chill in her heart. She still remembers that when she was chased by underground worms, she ran away desperately. When she came to her senses, she found that there was no one around except her, and she didn''t even know where she was.
Even if she gets lost in the forest or sea, Luo Xia will not panic. She can tell the direction through the direction of the sky or climb trees. But in the dark underground cave, Luoxia felt a certain kind of desperate fear for the first time. She could not do anything and could not do it. She could not break through the thick crust, and she could not tell the difference between east, west, south, north, and up, down, left and right. There were so many passages around that she could not even confirm which passage she came from, because they all looked similar.
Even though Luo Xia mustered up the courage to shout, the echoes floating in the crypt made her unable to tell where the sound came from.
"I only know now why so many adventurers are buried here."
Qasim also nodded, and his spirit was full of energy when he set out, he had long disappeared. He once naively believed that he had passed the test of Wudong City, so he should have the power to fight in the dark area.
But the facts told him that this was not the case.
This place is like a bottomless abyss, a huge mouth, ruthlessly devouring all stupid people who dare to break in without permission.
"Then do we still need to continue our mission?"
Emilia stared at her two companions and asked, "They came here not to be curious or simply take risks, but to accept the commission from the Deep Water City Master Kelben Black Staff to save his nephew. But to be honest, even Emilia felt that in a place like the dark area, even Master Kelben''s nephew would be difficult to have a way out."
She had politely inquired about the underground dwarfs before, but was told that she had never seen such a team of people, and the answers of the underground dwarfs to Emilia made her feel helpless.
"This is a dark area, people on the surface."
At this moment, an underground dwarf came over and placed the meal in his hand on their table.
“There are often adventurers coming here from the surface and then going to the dark areas to venture, but many of them have not come back again.”
"So what will happen to them?"
"Maybe they were captured by the gray dwarf, Zoer and the spirit sucking monster and became slaves, or they might have died in an unknown corner of the dark area and became food for underground animals."
The underground dwarf stared at the three of them and shook his head.
"I want me to say that you are still young, there is no need to spend time here, it is better to go back to the surface."
"Hey, say Zoer, have you heard of the news recently?"
Just as the dwarf waiter was chatting with them, another underground dwarf who was drinking next to him suddenly spoke.
"Is it a war between Zhe? Is it just a rumor when the stone is on it?"
"Hey, that''s not just rumors!"
The underground dwarf seemed very excited. He took a big sip of wine and then patted the table.
"The leader of the expedition team took his exploration team to see it! According to him, the city of Drow Elves has been completely destroyed!"
“Destroyed?”
"Yes, it burned all over the fire! No drow elf inside was left!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, other underground dwarfs also came over. Underground dwarfs and Drow elves usually do not interfere with rivers, but the reason for doing this is that the dark area itself is very dangerous and complex. Unless the spider queen personally orders, the Drow elves will not be bored across the underground passage and launch an attack on the underground dwarfs'' cities.
But the underground dwarfs never liked their dangerous and cunning neighbors. They were also surprised to hear the news that the city of the Drow Elves was destroyed.
Of course, it is more of a blessing.
"This is a good thing!"
"I don''t think this is a good thing. We all know the drow elves'' terror. Even they are destroyed. What if the other party attacks us?"
"I think someone should be sent to investigate what''s going on...at least we have to figure out who attacked and destroyed Zoer''s city."
Soon, the underground dwarfs in the tavern were divided into two factions, one of which raised his wine glasses and loudly celebrated their evil neighbors'' destruction. The other faction was worried. After all, since the other party could destroy the city of Drow Elves, the city of underground dwarfs might also face the same danger.
Because this is a dark area. “Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong!!”
At this moment, suddenly, a sudden rapid footsteps sounded, and then an underground dwarf panted and pushed open the door of the tavern.
"Drow Elves! They are coming here!"
The sound suddenly made the noisy tavern silent. The next moment, the underground dwarfs immediately bravely left the tavern, and Emilia, Kasim and Roxa also stood up. They all know the cruelty and terror of the Drow Elves. In any case, this underground dwarf city rescued them when they were killed. If the Drow Elves really wanted to attack the city, then they would also help.
Soon, the three of them followed a group of underground dwarfs and rushed towards the gate. However, to their surprise, although there were underground dwarfs on guard at the gate, they did not see the imagined army of dwarf elves. On the contrary, they only saw a blood-stained dwarf elves - from his appearance, he should be a warrior. At this moment, he was standing in front of the fully armed and staring at his underground dwarf guards, pointing toward the point of talking.
Well, no wonder the underground dwarfs would surround them to watch the fun. It was a rare thing for a lonely drow warrior to come to the city of the underground dwarfs.
"What the **** happened??"
Qasim stared at the Drow Elf in confusion. Of course he couldn''t understand Drow Elf. In fact, most underground dwarfs were the same. However, they could see that the Drow Elf was very scared. While pointing fingers and screaming in a low voice, he turned his head in fear and looked behind him, as if there was a terrible monster chasing him.
"I don''t know, but he looks really scared."
Emilia looked at the drow elf vigilantly, and then she looked at the dark passage behind her - in the darkness, as if nothing was there.
However, at this moment, Emilia suddenly heard a voice sound.
"I found you."
“————!”
Almost at the same time, the drow elf seemed to hear this sound. He drew out his sword in horror and rushed towards the underground dwarfs - which immediately surprised the underground dwarfs and guards nearby. However, the Drow Elf took only one step, and the next moment his head flew out directly, and his body, which had lost its balance, fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a petite figure appeared behind the Zoer soldier.
"Miss Ojis?!"
Looking at the petite figure, Emilia suddenly screamed. It was obvious that the girl who appeared there was a delicate and cute girl with long silver-white hair, wearing a black dress, and was as delicate and cute as a doll. Of course, Emilia knew who she was.
However, Emilia soon discovered that she had guessed wrongly.
“Ojis?”
Hearing this name, the silver-haired girl turned the short sword in her hand and stared at Emilia with dissatisfaction. At this time, Emilia realized that although this girl looked very similar to Aojis, the temperaments of both sides were completely different. Ojis always gives people a feeling of being quiet and well-behaved in daily life, but this girl is full of a sense of rebellious disengagement.
"I''m not my sister."
"Are you Ojis'' sister?"
I have to say that this answer also surprised Emilia.
"That''s right, you are...ah, are you guys who are the guys who run into the dark area to take risks?"
"Is Mr. Duanmu here too?"
Emilia was somewhat relieved when she heard the silver-haired girl''s words.
No matter what, Duanmuhuai is still very reliable.
"That''s right, but the master has something to do now, so he doesn''t plan to go with you... Well, you''d better go back to the surface as soon as possible."
"Is it related to the war between the Drow Elves?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
As he spoke, the silver-haired girl stepped back and then snapped her fingers. Then a flame suddenly burst out, completely swallowing the body of the Drow Elves, and then she floated back like a ghost.
"The dark area is not peaceful now. I advise you to leave early, or... it''s better not to get involved with the Drow Elves."
After saying this, the figure of the silver-haired girl completely disappeared into the darkness.
Only Emilia and the other two were stunned and looked at each other in a daze.
"What should we do next?"
Qasim swallowed a saliva. It was obvious that Duanmu Huai also came to the dark area, but it seemed... he didn''t seem to be as embarrassed as he was waiting for him.
"I will try my best to see if I can find clues about Master Kelbourne''s nephew at the designated location."
Although Emilia didn''t care about returning to the surface, she had no choice but to take on a political task this time - Master Kelben saved Wu Dongcheng. As the Tel Knight of Wu Dongcheng, of course, she could not escape because she was afraid of death, so she could only continue.
"But I will follow Mr. Duanmu''s words, be a little further away from the Drow Elves... After all, Mr. Duanmu said so."
“…………”
Hearing Emilia''s answer, the other two nodded.
At least, past lessons have been told to them not take Duanmuhuai’s warning seriously.
