Darkness is the main theme of this world.
But there are many fluorescent plants around, and it is because of those unique mosses that the surroundings are not as dark as imagined.
"It seems that there is a certain randomness in the shuttle. This is not the exchange that Erwin described."
"Not only the environment, but also the surrounding pattern is different. The area where Erwin is located is ruled by the dark elves. It is the same size as a medieval castle. After a hundred years of development, it is full of giant black trees, and there are dark elves conducting daily patrols."
But what about the present
Looking around, there was no forest, not even a small shrub. Desolation and poverty were Chen Feng's first impression of this place.
All signs indicated that Chen Feng was lost.
"It was a bad start." Chen Feng shook his head and said self-deprecatingly.
What Chen Feng possesses is only the ability to open up the abyss, which does not mean that he has the ability to travel through space. Even if it is the ability granted by the shadow, it is only a space travel of about a hundred meters. It is obviously a pipe dream to want to reach the area where Erwin is in an instant.
One thing to remember is.
The Underdark is generally divided into three levels. The Upper Underdark is close to the surface and has large-scale contact with surface races (trade, raids, conquest). The main residents are dark elves, beholders, dwarves, mind flayers, deep gnomes, and ratmen. Water and food are relatively abundant, and their adaptability to darkness is relatively mild.
The inhabitants of the Middle Underdark often treat surface races as slaves. They include deep gnomes and kuo-toa, and water and food are hard to find.
The Lower Underdark is incredibly strange, filled with bizarre societies and cultures. It is dominated by mind-reading demons, and is hostile to anything that is different from them. Food and water are scarce, and these races kill each other to survive. They are extremely adapted to the darkness, and new unique senses have appeared in many monsters. All levels have evil humanoids, usually as slaves in civilized cities.
Judging from Chen Feng's current environment and vision, this place is located in the upper dark area, which means that Chen Feng is not as far away from the dark elves as imagined. Perhaps if he walks for a distance, he will be able to see the exchange established by Erwin.
Of course, Chen Feng has a quicker way, which is to summon Erwin to lead the way.
However, this thought only lingered in Chen Feng's mind for a moment before being dispelled. Compared to human territory, this was undoubtedly a brand new land.
There are creatures here that are different from humans, and there is also a culture that belongs to this place. Chen Feng's plan is to open up a new trade route here, a deep road that can nurture order, rather than just coming here as a tourist to watch his own exchange.
Therefore, Chen Feng gave up summoning Erwin and instead used his own legs and eyes to experience this new world he had never seen before.
Chen Feng walked in the darkness, and there were many disgusting bugs crawling in the corners.
worm.
This is the initial state of all demons. These monsters were born in the blood pool, just like the reincarnation legend circulated by humans. In the abyss, the souls killed will return to the blood pool, and the worms are the creatures born from those souls.
Most of the surviving worms will advance into dreadflies, a small demon with a cunning nature.
This is the Underdark. Although there are some demons here, there are more dark creatures. Therefore, compared with the densely packed worms in other levels, the worms in front of Chen Feng are just like sparrows and can only be regarded as dispensable creatures.
"Pah..."
A series of footsteps came from the front.
Chen Feng dodged and his figure slowly merged into the surrounding darkness.
-sneak!
After sacrificing the shadow, Chen Feng not only gained space jumping, but also mastered some abilities such as stealth and backstab.
Three bear goblins appeared in front of Chen Feng.
They are a variation of the Goblin, evil, greedy, and stupid by nature. Bugbears are tall, strong, vicious, and more agile than the average human. They are the rulers of the goblinoid creatures and the strongest. They get their name from their bear-like faces.
Their faces are covered with thick, coarse hair ranging from brown to brick red. Their eyes are similar to those of wild beasts, with green-white eyes with a red pupil in the center, and they have a pair of large, shovel-shaped ears. The mouths of bugbears are full of sharp fangs, and their noses are very similar to those of bears. Their sense of smell is as sensitive as that of bears, and their tough fur and sharp claws are also very similar to those of bears, but they are much more agile than bears.
In the Underdark, many poor and low-level bugbears sometimes use stone or bone chips to sharpen their claws. Many high-level bugbears, including their leaders, like to use maces as weapons, and sometimes these leaders also master the human combat skills of using maces.
Bugbears have only two real goals in life: food and treasure. Prey and invaders are important sources of both. These extremely greedy creatures plunder anything that shines, including weapons and armor. They will not miss any opportunity to add to their collection, even if it means stealing, robbing, or raiding.
Bugbears will take advantage of any opportunity to ambush their opponents. When hunting, they usually send several scouts to search ahead of the main force. Once they find prey, they will immediately report back and guide reinforcements to attack.
But now, they were facing only a group of fist-sized worms, so the bear goblins did not need a too complicated formation. They just rushed forward in a swarm, grabbed a worm with their bare hands, and then stuffed it into their mouths almost savagely.
This is a very impactful scene.
Whether it was the harsh chewing sound or the cheeks covered in blood plasma, it challenged the endurance of normal people.
This is the norm in the Underdark, just like people picking fruits from trees when they are hungry. In this area abandoned by God, bending down to pick up a passing worm and swallowing it into the stomach is simply the most normal thing.
The explosion sound still continued.
These three bear goblins had big appetites, and they were eating like they were competing. With the sound of explosions, the worms became meat paste in their mouths.
A little disgusting.
But Chen Feng's face was calm, and he didn't seem angry at all.
There were no other sounds around, which meant that the three bear goblins in front of him were the first intelligent creatures he had ever encountered, except for the worms, of course.
Their strength is almost at the bronze level.
There are no creatures other than bronze in the abyss. If we must make a comparison, the worms under our feet may be the humans of Order who have not awakened. Once they become cowards, except that they do not have the abilities mastered by professionals, their strength and speed can be compared with those of awakened ones.
Quantity: three.
Bronze level strength.
There are no other enemies nearby.
After making a simple plan, Chen Feng dispelled his stealth and appeared in front of the bear goblin openly.
The three bear goblins seemed to sense something. When they looked up, they saw a cloaked figure standing in front of them.
"roar!"
The bear goblins roared and took a few steps back, but they did not go far away. Instead, they tilted their heads and observed the enemy's every move.
They are the largest and strongest of the goblinoid creatures, and are much more aggressive than other creatures of their kind. Bugbears survive by hunting any creature weaker than themselves.
Chen Feng did not deliberately dissipate the power he possessed. It was precisely because of this that the bear goblins were not scared away at the first moment. They stayed and tried to make a judgment on Chen Feng, and then considered whether to eat him or escape.
Looking at the three faces that kept looking around, Chen Feng did not make any extra movements. He just raised his right hand and pointed at one of them.
"Bang!"
My head is blooming!
The powerful mental force leaked out and filled the bear goblin's head all at once, just like a fully inflated balloon, which turned into powder under the action of pressure.
With just one finger, the companion's head was completely split open. This was a power that even the clan leader did not possess.
Chen Feng proved himself to the surviving bugbears.
There was no so-called revenge or other emotions. In almost a second, the remaining two bear goblins knelt on the ground and began to kowtow to Chen Feng.
There is no emotion, only strong and weak.
The dark creatures here had long been assimilated by the abyss. The first thing they considered was not how to avenge their companions, but to admit their mistakes to Chen Feng in the most humble way and try to save their lives.
"Take me to the nearby city. I want to trade some things." Chen Feng looked down at the bear goblin kneeling on the ground and used the power of the devil's horns to explain his ideas to the other party.
At this moment, a fearful voice came from the side.
"Don't kill us, we will take you to the nearest Blingdenstone City now..." Some stuttering sentences came out of the mouth of the bear goblin. Although these languages are not Abyssal language, relying on the devil's horn, Chen Feng still understood what the other party was saying.
"Okay, let's go now. If you behave well on the road, I will consider giving you freedom again." Chen Feng was playing the role of a cold and powerful man at this time. In just a few seconds, he controlled the life and death of the two bear goblins.
The man and the two bugbears continued on their way.
"By the way, do you have names?"
"I… "
"Okay, there's no need to mention our past names. From now on, you're Xiong Da and you're Xiong Er."
“…” Although the bugbears didn’t know what this meant, they obeyed whatever their master said. After seeing how Chen Feng killed his companions with just a finger, the loyalty of the surviving bugbears had completely changed!
