Chapter 667(1/2)
After a long rest, the team set off again.
The entrance to the Underground World that Izt mentioned is not far from Shield Island. After a teleportation, you will reach the nearest of the entrance, located at the bottom of a deep canyon.
Everyone entered the canyon and quickly found the entrance.
This is a cave more than four meters high. Most of the entrance was blocked by several big trees and dense weeds, and the bottom was invisible. Judging from the traces at the entrance of the cave, no living creatures or undead passed by here for a long time. A cool breeze blew out of the cave, leading to an unknown space.
Izt observed for a while and turned around and said, "There are not many people who know this entrance. I also discovered it by accident. It can lead to the upper level of the dark area."
"There won't be any danger, right?" Barack asked.
"There will definitely be underground creatures, but there is no threat to us." The dark elf laughed confidently.
"That's good." The Holy Gun Ranger actually asked casually.
Leslin nodded, "Let's go in."
Izt walked in the front leading the way, Asina followed, then Bellack and Resling, and Daunssus at the end.
After entering the cave entrance, the light was too light to shine in, and I couldn't see my five fingers.
Resling instantly casts a spell, and several fist-sized balls of light floating beside everyone, illuminating the way forward.
The terrain inside the cave is extremely rugged, like a crack formed after an earthquake. The wide area is like a hall, but the narrow area can only pass through the body sideways, and the direction is irregular. There will be forks every small section of the road along the way.
Izt is very familiar with this route and can make a choice without hesitation every time.
After moving forward for hundreds of meters, the cave began to tilt downwards, deeper the further inwards, and every step you took could trigger a distant echo.
After walking a few miles forward, the ground of the cave stretched downward at an angle of almost thirty degrees.
The team is getting deeper and deeper into the ground.
Gradually, the surrounding environment became wet and the air was filled with odor. Resling had an accurate calculation of the distance he had walked and had already penetrated at least ten miles underground.
At this time, a faint light came from the front.
"We're almost here."
Izt whispered, speeding up slightly.
A few minutes later, everyone entered a narrow hole, bent down and walked forward for dozens of meters. When they looked up, the spectacular scene suddenly came into view.
Resling, Asina and Dawnssus entered the underground world for the first time. After adapting to the surrounding environment, he couldn't help but sigh at the wonders of the world.
In front of me is a huge cave, which is thousands of meters wide.
The top of the cave is not high, and huge stalactites hang down, as if the dark sky will collapse at any time, giving people a sense of depression.
Most places are hidden in the darkness, but not completely invisible.
"Sky", "walls" and complex "ground", various ferns grow in many places, emitting faint light. There are also some glow rocks, lichens and luminous crystals that can illuminate nearby areas, but the colors are a bit weird, green, dark red, blue and purple, etc., and bizarre.
Neither the darkness nor the alien light had any effect on Resling's soul eye.
He glanced at the cave and found the underground creatures hidden in it at a glance. The bright light balls around him were very eye-catching, attracting them to peek in the dark.
The air is very humid, and there is also a sound of water flowing in the distance, and there is a underground river.
Izt said: "This is the upper level of the dark area, and it is not dangerous for us. I will remind you of what you need to pay attention to along the way."
He affirmed the direction, "Let's keep going."
Darkness has little impact on everyone who has at least the legendary high-level strength. Everyone is walking on flat ground on the rugged terrain, and their progress is no worse than on the surface.
The demon hunter slightly released the evil aura, scaring away the underground creatures that were trying to attack.
Soon, the team left the cave from a narrow tunnel and entered a deeper cave. The dark area is a dark world composed of countless caves. Some caves are so small that they can only accommodate a few people, while others are so large that they are endless, connected to each other by twisting tunnels. Sometimes the tunnel is only dozens of meters long, and sometimes it can be dozens of miles long, like a huge maze.
The largest cave is like a microcosm of the surface, with a top of thousands of meters high, and inside it is hills, valleys, forests, swamps, and rivers spread through it to form a quiet lake.
The dark area is a three-dimensional world. Sometimes you have to climb up from the rock wall or the top of a cave, or use flying techniques to find the exit.
Before entering, Izt has introduced it to you.
The dark area is roughly divided into three levels.
The upper layer is closest to the surface, with the largest area, and is inhabited by a large number of underground creatures, including gray dwarfs, night goblins, cavemen, dark elves, underground dwarfs, eye demons, Kou Tao fishman, etc. They are often able to contact the surface, and sometimes they can meet the soul hunting team coming from the surface.
The middle level goes deeper into the ground, and most of the areas suitable for living are ruled by dark elves.
That is the kingdom of dark elves. They regard other races as slaves. Any alien that enters the middle level will attack and kill or enslave them once they are discovered by dark elves.
The deepest lower layer has the harshest environment, lacking water sources, and lava rifts are everywhere.
The lower level is also the most dangerous area in the dark area, with many terrible monsters lurking, as well as some mysterious and ancient creatures, rumored to be even longer than gods, and is the earliest races born in the Alan Ershi world, such as benthic demon fish and mushroom man.
There are many channels between the three levels, which can be passed up and down.
The sensual city "Elaanto" that Izt once saw is located in the deepest lower floor.
Along the way, everyone had to advance on the upper level for about ten days to reach the tunnel leading to the middle level; after entering the middle level, they would pass through the country of the dark elves and pass through two Zhe cities before they could reach the entrance to the lower level.
After walking in the dark area for a long time, Leslin and others felt a little depressed.
Even if they can see things in the dark, they will still feel inexplicably irritable if they stay in this closed environment for too long.
Barack twisted his neck and said as he walked, "No wonder the underground creatures are so irritable and full of hatred. It would be strange if you don't go crazy if you live in such a ghost place for a lifetime!"
Izt in front of him smiled bitterly.
Dawnssus used the magic of calming the irritation in his teammates.
Resling rode on a Phantom Horse he summoned. The will of truth kept him calm and said, "Life will find a way out. No matter how harsh the environment is, in order to survive, generations of life will eventually adapt."
Izt and Daunssus were all thinking when they heard this.
Asina was about to answer the conversation, but Reslin suddenly controlled the Phantom Horse and stopped and said lightly: "We are going to prepare for the battle."
Everyone was shocked and looked forward.
At this moment, the team was in a huge cave, hundreds of meters high, and there was an underground forest inside the cave. The trees were dark in color, with few leaves, and the branches were twisted like a bunch of living creatures, with teeth and claws, as if they wanted to choose people to eat them.
There is a path that was stepped on by an underground caravan in the middle of the forest, and a river blocked the way in front.
Resling's eyes penetrated the river, and a large number of aquatic creatures were lurking underneath.
"Kou Tao Fishman."
Izt also discovered the ambush in the river, observed two eyes, and whispered: "There should be a Kou Tao fishman tribe in this cave. I thought we were an underground caravan and wanted to rob."
"Haha..." Barack couldn't help laughing.
He was bored and itchy with these Kou Tao fishmen to relieve his boredom.
"Don't be careless," said Reslin. "This group of Koutao fishmen is not simple, there are many, and there are at least two legends."
The teammates' faces became serious.
"Let's take a detour?" Dawnssus suggested.
Izt replied: "I can't get around it, they must have blocked the exit of this cave. Even if the teleportation crosses the river, they will eventually fight with them."
"Then kill them all." Asina had already taken down her shield and long sword.
Resling is also thinking this way.
Kou Tao Fishman is an unbiased evil creature. Like most underground races, he is full of hatred and malice towards outsiders, and he doesn't have much burden to kill. The Kou Tao Fishman god they believe in is a very weak god, and almost no one knows it, and is not afraid of revenge.
In his eyes, so many Kou Tao fishmen were full of electricity.
Teammates quickly reached an agreement.
Then, as if nothing had been discovered, Resling rode on the Phantom Horse, lifted the endless storm, and had already started casting spells.
As his spells formed quickly, red light emerged from the top of the forest.
The air became hot, too.
A few seconds later, the sky above the cave was covered by a layer of fire clouds. The cloud of flames was covered with unknown thickness, covering hundreds of meters in radius. The forest below was ignited instantly.
The river surface also began to boil.
Eighth Ring Spell Cloud Burning Technique!
boom!
The rolling flames fell, the flames reflected the entire cave, the river churned, and blue-gray human-shaped creatures emerged from the bottom.
They stood on their feet, about 1.5 meters tall, with ugly fish heads, covered with blue-gray fish scales, holding various simple weapons, most of which were harpoons, spears, shields, etc., and rolled and crawled out of the water and rushed towards everyone.
A rough figure shows that there are at least five hundred Kou Tao fishmen, and it is still increasing.
"It's actually so many!" Barack was startled.
Like many of the fishmen of Alan Ershi, Kotao has a characteristic that can connect with the lives of the tribesmen and increase their strength.
The more numerous you have, the stronger your strength will be.
These Kou Tao fishmen were originally only at the beginning to the middle level, but when hundreds of fishmen gathered together and their auras were connected, the strength of all fishmen suddenly increased several times, and a half reached the high level.
The three-headed legendary Kou Tao fishman, led, has increased to the middle level of the legend.
Their size expanded to three or four meters high, a fishman priest holding a wooden stick and two fishman hunters, holding huge harpoons and charging at high speed.
