Although it is temporarily impossible to verify whether the wizard's treasure in Kirby's mouth really exists, it is definitely worth taking some risks for it.

After all, something that a level 2 wizard doesn't like, may be a priceless treasure that is hard to find for Greem, who is struggling to become a wizard. Therefore, after initially determining the location of the ruins of the Bliss City, Greem began to plan how to talk about the truth.

Judging from the location shown on the map, the possible location is located in the deepest part of the shallow surface of the dark crypt. The straight-line distance from the surface is only 17 miles, but it goes deep into the core area rich in underground creatures. According to the information on the map, there are several large underground groups near the suspicious location, and there are also powerful underground creatures wandering around.

I really want to go there to explore the way, I'm afraid I'm going to deliver food to those evil and cruel guys without any thorough preparations!

In the past few days, Mary has also been busy strengthening and improving her own strength, almost every day without touching the ground. When Greem seized the opportunity to reveal his plan to Mary, she didn't immediately call out to form a team with him without impulsiveness. Instead, she told Greem very calmly that she has recently found a way to improve her combat power and is working hard, and it is impossible to go out in the near future.

Therefore, Greem logically handed over the control of Kirby to Mary, and let her be responsible for keeping an eye on this cunning boy every day, while he devoted himself to preparing the materials needed for underground exploration.

After everything was ready, Greem found Kevin and greeted him, saying that he was going to the underground world to find some dark grass, and then used this as an excuse to sneak into the dark cave.

...

To be honest, the Dark Crypt is really not a place suitable for sightseeing and tourism.

When any sane surface creature steps into the dark crypt for the first time, the biggest manifestation is extreme depression. Thinking that hundreds of thousands of tons of soil and sand may pour down and bury the top of the head at any time, it is impossible for any surface creature to be as calm as before. In the dark crypt, any irrational behavior may reveal one's whereabouts, thereby attracting groups of predators.

For this underground trip, Greem can be said to have gone all out. In addition to the crocodile hunter he was riding, he also stored 3 quasi-witch-level rock pythons in his waist pocket. If he really wants to meet an invincible enemy, he only needs to risk his life to release all three rock pythons. He doesn't believe there is any enemy that can stop him from escaping.

As for the other 2 water-type crystal nuclei and 2 wind-type crystal nuclei, Greem's design for their witch formations is still in the process of further refinement. It is estimated that there should be results after this underground journey is over.

As soon as he entered the range of the dark crypt, Greem summoned the Crocodile Hunter without saying a word, sank into the soil, and continued to move toward the depths of the ground in the direction indicated by the map. Every time he walked a certain distance, Greem would drive the demonic crocodile to appear in a dark passageway to further confirm the direction he was heading.

Relying on this method, in just over 3 hours, Greem had already dived to a depth of about 10 miles underground. But further down, the speed of travel becomes extremely slow.

Large chunks of metal ore, continuous stretches of huge rock formations, these have become an insurmountable moat for Greem to walk through the soil. In the dark and dull soil, Greem's spiritual power can only extend a maximum of ten to twenty meters away. How difficult it is to find a direct path to the destination in this situation.

So after running into walls several times in succession, Greem could only emerge from a corridor again. There is no way, traveling through this completely unfamiliar area, it is much better to use the ready-made passages dug by the underground creatures than to bump into the dark underground.

In the dark and damp corridor, Greem took out the crystal ball, used the positioning technique to reconfirm his position, and then slowly moved forward along the sloping downward passage.

Perched high on the spacious and flat back of the crocodile, Greem wore a thick and tough traveler's cloak, a noble headband on his forehead, and his eyes were hidden in weird dwarf goggles. Through the slightly dim low-light vision and the elemental vision that sees through the source of matter, the passage in front of Greem is completely another different and strange world in the eyes of Greem.

The background color of the entire field of vision is green and the light is slightly dim, but everything can still be seen very clearly. All substances with elemental aura will emit the unique elemental halo of the element in the horizon, even if they hide behind thick stalagmites, or hide in the cracks of rock walls, their shapes may be able to cover them, but this piece The halo of colorful elements cannot be concealed.

According to the strength of the halos presented by the element vision, Greem can judge their strength even from a long distance.

The weak ones let the crocodile hunter take action, throwing a few dirt spears over, the hidden figure was pierced and instantly killed, red hot blood flowed from the broken body, and soon the last breath of life disappeared. And when encountering those who are stronger, Greem will summon the rock python, and use its incomparably powerful rock body to crush the opponent into a meat paste.

So along the way, those scattered subterranean predators can be considered to have encountered monster killers, and they died inexplicably in the lurking place before waiting for the approach of the prey.

However, scattered predators are easy to deal with, but those underground groups entrenched in groups that must pass through the pass are difficult to fight. Greem didn't dare to provoke such guys as Gnoll tunnels and lizard lairs. Otherwise, once they come out in full force, they will be able to defeat them, and I am afraid that all the monsters in this area will be alarmed.

However, Greem didn't know that just as he was quietly sneaking through the Gnoll tunnel, in the dark and damp shadow he had just passed, a stooped and thin figure stood up.

This is an old Gnoll who has entered the final stage of his life. There are not many strong muscles on the thin body, an old and simple dull dagger hangs at the waist, and the stooped old body can no longer stand upright. But when it squinted its slightly cloudy and cold eyes and looked towards Greem's disappearing direction, an awe-inspiring and powerful aura spread out, almost freezing the air around it.

"Boss, that human is heading towards the ruins!" A black figure suddenly emerged from the darkness.

"Let him go! He's just a small middle-level apprentice, and he can't make big waves." The scarlet eyes of the old wolf man leader ignited two small flames in the darkness: "A little further in is The lizard people's territory. These guys have been blocking us from approaching the ruins by relying on their numbers, and putting a small bug in may cause them some trouble!"

"Yes! This subordinate will make arrangements now and ask the brothers at the front post to let him go." The black shadow quickly disappeared into the darkness after bowing and saluting.

Greem was still slowly sneaking in the darkness. For some reason, he always inexplicably felt a chill on his back, as if a gust of wind was invading his body through the thick cloak, making him shiver slightly.

Damn it, where did this ominous omen come from

Greem never hated himself so much for not learning some witchcraft knowledge such as divination and prophecy. Even if he just learned a little bit, he can simply divination the direction of danger, so as to make some preventive preparations.

Greem had secretly taken out the screaming branch to look at it a few times, but he didn't find anything unusual. This shows that the crisis is coming, but it is not consciously aimed at oneself. Could it be that the danger came from inside the ruins

While thinking slowly, Greem scanned the endless darkness around him more frequently.

It stands to reason that with the perspective ability of elemental vision, it is impossible for any elemental user to approach him silently. And in the underground world, apart from those terrifying monsters, what kind of creatures can threaten their lives

Greem's brain was thinking quickly, and the underground powerful biological data stored in the chip slowly flowed through his heart. Suddenly, several creatures aroused Greem's vigilance.

Gnoll stalker... Saurus assassin...

This place seems to be their territory, and these two kinds of weird underground creatures do not belong to the category of monsters, which also means that there is no accumulation of elemental energy in their bodies. But in the list of dangerous creatures in the dark crypt, they are still at the top. This shows that even without relying on the power of the elements, they still have awesome fighting capabilities.

Greem's heart sank slightly.

For this kind of combat ability obtained by relying on powerful physical abilities, it is difficult for elemental vision to detect them, and it is even more difficult for low-light vision to detect them. I'm afraid that even Mary's infrared vision may not be of much use. So how should I discover these weird and difficult guys

When Greem was anxious, the chip finally fed back a useful message to him.

Full visual matching ability!

This is a way of spiritual perception that only Greem can achieve.

Every time he travels a certain distance, Greem can store and back up the terrain and landforms fed back by low-light vision and elemental vision in his mind. Then, relying on the powerful visual matching capability of the chip, it is possible to detect small local differences in the topography and landforms of the front and back in the shortest time.

If there is really a cold-blooded assassin lurking beside Greem, as long as it moves with Greem, then the shadow space it is in will definitely have some subtle differences from before. These differences cannot be distinguished by the human eye, but it is difficult to escape the indiscriminate full visual matching of the chip.

As long as they can be found, their threat will be reduced by more than 80%.

At that time, it will not be them making waves in the dark, but Greem will severely punish them for their arrogance!
