In the dark and deep underground tunnel, there was silence.
There are no roads in the underground world, only winding cracks in rock formations and waterways eroded by thousands of years of water. However, through the efforts of countless generations of underground creatures to excavate, the large or small crypts, karst caves, and caves are connected by long or short tunnels and tunnels, forming an underground world that extends in all directions, which is astonishing. Endless three-dimensional channel.
There will never be a straight road like the surface here, all the passages are skillfully opened along the cracks in the rock formations, along the old waterways, winding and twisting. Sometimes there is only a thick rock layer less than ten meters away from the next cave, but it can only be reached by winding back and forth for more than ten miles in the dark passage.
There are countless stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, and there are some tooth-like protrusions on the ground. Water dripped from the rocks, and the ground was slippery with lichen.
To be honest, moving forward in such a closed and quiet environment, it is easy to give people a terrifying feeling that they will be crushed to death by the mud and rocks weighing hundreds of tons above their heads in the next moment.
Greem and his party of ten people held torches and lined up in a long line, walking hard and slowly through the underground passage.
The light from the torches could only illuminate a narrow area less than 5 meters away, and gusts of wind were blowing out from hidden cracks in the cave wall. The torch flickered for a while, projecting their figures on the stone wall on one side, and they became like twisted demons with teeth and claws.
Although they tried their best to keep silent while walking, the sound of rustling footsteps and the sound of bodies rubbing against the cave wall could be heard far and far in the deep and dark tunnel. This will bring many unexpected dangers to their subsequent trips.
After walking for 3 hours in a row, everyone finally came to the first stop on the inspection route.
Seriously speaking, the 3-hour journey ahead was just a small trial before they entered the dark crypt. Starting from here is the real starting point of their inspection mission.
"Okay, it's time for us to break up here. Everyone strive to complete the task quickly, and then return here to gather. I hope you have a smooth journey!" Sabrina's crisp voice also seemed muffled in this stuffy cave.
Ten wizard apprentices and five teams rushed to different regions to complete their tasks. The task point in the deepest part of the ground is in charge of Sabrina and Shira's team. Of course, everyone had no objection to her taking the most dangerous task, so they acquiesced in her leadership.
Regarding the group of Mary and Greem, although everyone felt dissatisfied, they could only assign them the simplest task in comparison. After all, this time the plan was quick and easy to entrap them, and next time the team will only have eight people to do the work of ten people.
Everyone wore thick black cloth robes, covering all their skin to prevent their breath and body temperature from being exposed to the eyes of underground creatures with infrared vision. After congratulating each other softly, the five teams sank into the darkness outside the cave and ran towards different goals.
After breaking up, Greem stopped walking along the deep and dark passage in front of him for less than half an hour.
After listening carefully, Greem couldn't hear the slightest movement in the distance, so Greem casually extinguished the torch in his hand. When the last ray of light disappeared into the shadows, a blurred and strange world appeared in front of Greem's eyes.
The fluorescent moss growing all over the cave wall gave off a faint cold light in the deep darkness, outlining a completely different and weird scene in Greem's temporarily low-light vision eyes. Against the backdrop of the faint light, the darkness is slowly receding, replaced by a green and magical world.
The gloomy and cold rock cave wall is black, and the area where the water flow gathers is gray. Apart from the large green light, there are large gray and black areas scattered in Greem's strange vision. However, in the dark corner far from the cave wall, one or two red dots crawling strangely can be vaguely seen.
The red dot indicates the leaked life energy.
Judging by the size of the red dot, it should be a small creature like a rock scorpion or a gecko.
Greem turned his head to look. Mary in red was still wearing the bright red gauze dress, with a large area of greasy white skin exposed. But the strange thing is that even if Greem is only 3 steps away from her, he can't detect the temperature unique to half a trace of living species. If relying solely on infrared vision, Mary might be no different from a human-shaped stalagmite in his eyes.
Well, well, vampire's methods are really unpredictable.
With infrared vision, the concealment of life breath, and super high agility, this deep and dark underground world is indeed more suitable for agile killers like them.
Greem pulled his hood, took the lead, and started his journey along the winding and rugged road.
Their mission point is near an underground water pool 7 miles away, and they may pass through two or three underground habitats along the way, but the threat is not great, as long as they are careful, there is no problem in passing through without damage.
...
Although they have powerful witchcraft abilities, in this dangerous underground world, even Mary, who has the status of a senior apprentice, is just a toddler.
Greem, who thought he was well prepared, was ambushed for the first time when he entered the underground world before he had walked 100 meters.
Yes, an ambush!
A rock python curled up in the crack of the rock wall jumped out the moment Greem passed by, and bit its neck with its foul-smelling and ferocious fangs without hesitation.
Haggard too late to guard against, really haggard too late to guard against.
The ice-cold rock wall covered the rock python's faint breath of life, and when Greem saw a red dot expanding in front of his eyes, the venom-filled fangs of the rock python were within easy reach.
If Greem had more than 10 points of agility, he might still be able to react, but a 4 point agility severely limited his instinctive reaction. He could only close his eyes in horror and wait for the fierce bite.
A rock python can't bite him to death, but the pain of flesh and blood is inevitable.
bark...
A sharp breaking wind sounded in his ears, and Mary, who was clearly behind him, appeared in front of him in the next second. Pointing like a knife, the sound of barking and breaking the wind can be heard endlessly, and the rock python was cut into seven pieces by her in an instant.
A foul-smelling bloody smell began to permeate the passage.
Greem took a few deep breaths, and then he calmed down his restless heart beating like a drum, and a sticky cold sweat broke out from his body. These damned underground creatures are so good at picking places for ambushes!
Although the passage was dark and dark, Greem's cheeks were slightly feverish.
Big up, big up! Theoretical knowledge is theoretical knowledge. I think that I have stored so many skills and experiences of traveling and adventure in my mind, but there are still so many unpredictable traps in real life.
After this twists and turns, the positions of the two changed.
Mary, who was dressed in red, walked lightly and silently in front, and any underground creature that came out of the hiding place could not escape her sharp nails that were as sharp as magic weapons. Even if it is a surprise attack that is close at hand, she can cut the enemy into several sections with her super agility and strike first.
Therefore, in just one hour, eleven underground creatures had already died under her hands.
Faintly, Greem could hear the screams of creatures scrambling for food from far away in the passage behind him. It seemed that a small war was inevitable. In the underground world, making unnecessary noises or having wounds on the body is a big taboo, and it is easy to provoke bigger and more ferocious underground creatures.
Although with Mary and Greem's strength, they would not be afraid of such a small role, but it would bring unnecessary trouble to their schedule.
The first real trouble came seven hours into the ground, when a pack of 11 Dreadclaws attacked them.
This kind of Dreadclaw, which is widely distributed in various parts of the ground, resembles a small dinosaur covered in biological scales in appearance, and is only 2 meters tall when standing upright. Although they are not huge in size, their bones are thick and covered with scales. In their huge mouths are two rows of thick and sharp fangs that glisten with cold light. Their sticky saliva keeps dripping, and they look like they want to eat.
They did not choose to sneak attack like those small underground creatures, but waited for Greem and the two to enter their encirclement before walking out of the darkness with steady steps. Before seeing their bodies, Greem first saw a pair of dim yellow khaki eyes.
Such hard-skinned monsters are very difficult to deal with, at least it is difficult for Mary's sharp claws to break through their dense scales. Without attacking the weaker defense points such as the armpits, eye sockets, and the crevice of the head and neck, Mary's attack has nothing to do with them. But the pair of slender and sharp upper limbs on their chests may have brought her terrible injuries.
If coupled with the impact force brought by the heavy body and the unique paralysis and slowing effect of earth-type monsters, it would be difficult for ordinary wizard apprentices to retreat in such a small area.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Greem took out two summoning crystal cores and threw them on the nearby soil.
Although most of the underground passages were excavated in the hard rock walls, and the hard rock formations were used to prevent the tunnels from collapsing, mud and sand were still everywhere, so Greem's mud golems did not lack shaping materials.
A silent roar sounded, and the alligator hunter slowly emerged beside Greem.
"Hey, good boy, you actually hid something!" Mary in red's voice sounded in the darkness.
With Mary's 17 points of agility, it's easy to get rid of the entanglement of the Dreadclaw. If it wasn't for Greem's "drag", Mary would be able to pass through the opponent's extremely simple encirclement in only 5 seconds.
After a few random attacks on the side of several Dreadclaw monsters without any gains, Mary could only give up trying, and slipped back to Greem's side to carefully look at this novel puppet.
This... seems a little different from what I saw last time! Could this mud crocodile be his new puppet after beheading the swamp giant crocodile queen? It seems that this kid is not as weak as he imagined!
With endless doubts, Mary watched Greem stepping up the back of the mud crocodile and being sat down, and then amidst a rumbling slight tremor, the mud crocodile writhed its huge body and crushed the surrounding Dreadclaw monsters. Overwhelmed.
