"Noda City is a city-state similar to Ward City, and it is ruled by Your Excellency Fujin—Your Excellency Fujin is a powerful dwarf. Every time he faces those mind flayers and drows, this Your Excellency is The one who charged forward, besides, Your Excellency Fu Jin is very generous, we have enough goods, we will definitely be welcomed by him!"
Hildrin, a dwarf from Vader City, sat on a subterranean lizard and carefully introduced Ye Qi's destination for the next stop.
"Are there enough books there?"
Ye Qi asked.
Obviously, he would rather see an arty than a bold city lord. After all, the latter will at least have a study to decorate himself.
"Of course there are! There are more books there than in Ward City... His Excellency Ax Jin's people are not only good at forging, but there are also some scholars among them—some of them have such, such a big study..." The dwarf was very Nodding excitedly, his fingers began to draw repeatedly, but the short arms obviously couldn't describe the size in his heart, so he simply stood up to make his drawing appear bigger.
"Well, hopefully I'll see a spacious study!"
Ye Qi nodded, expressing his expectation.
On the other hand, the dwarf was full of interest and wanted to explain the Nuoda dwarves to Ye Qi, but he had to sit down—in fact, as a well-informed dwarf in Ward City, what he likes most is explaining to the people around him. Things that people don't know; such a sense of accomplishment always fascinates him.
Of course, when facing Ye Qi, Hildrin could still clearly distinguish between the sense of accomplishment and his life.
Step, step, step...
The heavy footsteps of the subterranean lizard spread far in this underground 'tunnel' extending in all directions, but in the silent 'tunnel', such footsteps became the only source of sound.
Half of the team of dwarf guards. They all became scouts of the team and began to explore back and forth.
In fact, such exploration is absolutely necessary.
At least, Ye Qi's team has been attacked more than once since setting off from Ward City.
However, compared to the previous times, this time is a bit strange—
After those fluctuations that do not belong to their own team appear. Ye Qi immediately confirmed that the opponent was stronger than the members of his own team.
If he doesn't act, the entire team will be wiped out.
Therefore, Ye Qi adjusted his sitting posture, preparing to expel these uninvited guests—in the underground world, even if it was 'expulsion'. It is also full of killings.
However, the next moment, Ye Qi changed his mind.
Because, he found that these attackers did not seem to be 'malicious'.
The attackers, but no 'maliciousness', such words may seem contradictory, but it is the case-those dwarf guards who acted as scouts passed these attackers safely... or rather. The location of the voyeurs; Ye Qi was sure that none of these dwarf guards would survive if the voyeurs took action.
"Are you waiting for a better opportunity to catch them all? Or..."
Ye Qi thought about the other party's intentions.
For Ye Qi, no matter what the opponent is like, just showing strength like this is not enough for him; therefore, Ye Qi quietly observes the opponent. And, signal the 'source of the plague' to keep quiet—for the 'source of the plague', its sense of hearing and smell is enough for it to discover the uninvited guests here.
The team moved on.
Moreover, it safely passed the prying range of those uninvited guests.
"The target is not us?"
Ye Qi thought so suspiciously, but then put this matter behind him—in the underground world. There are countless assassinations and attacks every day.
Obviously, it shouldn't be something he can control.
What's more, even if he wants to control, he still needs to ask. Does the biggest guy here agree.
The Spider Queen is definitely a ruthless guy.
Ye Qi didn't want to contact the other party until the [Exploration Mission] was completed.
Similarly, his companion who was looking for the 'Dark Maiden' has not responded so far, so he is undoubtedly on guard against him.
Spiders are good at weaving webs and catching prey.
And the spider queen who can turn into a spider obviously also has certain habits—once she touches any thread on the spider's web, then... just wait for the hunter to appear!
As for that 'fate'
Obviously, compared to the webs woven by spiders, this one is more advanced and hidden.
At least, so far, Ye Qi has not found any clues about the other party - except for the mother tree, Ye Qi knows nothing about the other party.
Moreover, even with the news of the mother tree, Ye Qi only knew that the world tree supporting these three main planes, Lorant, Godez, and Xilu, was grown from the seeds borne by the mother tree; In addition, Ye Qi has no more information; for example: where did the mother tree come from, where is the mother tree, such information, Ye Qi is ignorant.
Even if he tortured the dead who was imprisoned in the [Sealed Prison], Ye Qi got nothing.
Obviously, 'fate' has some special means, making such torture useless.
And Amon, who has always known everything
Ye Qi can be sure that his contract partner is also ignorant like him.
Otherwise, the other party would never be so anxious.
The most terrifying enemy is obviously the one who knows nothing - because this often makes you feel that the other party is invincible.
In the face of such a situation, what Ye Qi can do is to increase his strength more quickly.
With greater strength, there will inevitably be more 'preparations'.
Perhaps, it seems a bit inappropriate, but in reality, it is quite easy to use—at least, Ye Qi used this kind of 'preparation' more than once to tide over the difficulties.
"Lorant, Godez, and Xilu—are supported by the World Tree grown from the seeds borne by the mother tree, so what is the world made up of the mother tree? A more advanced place? Or a nothingness? "
Ye Qi's body heaved up and down with the pace of the subterranean lizard, and in his heart, the same was true for the speculation about the mother tree.
until there was a crisp sound—
Whoosh!
Ding!
Anyone with experience can know that this is the sound of crossbow arrows being fired and the arrows being nailed to the wall.
immediately. The dwarf guards in the entire team took out their round shields to block themselves, and leaned tightly against the huge subterranean lizard.
But Hildrin shrank himself into the saddle bridge of the subterranean lizard at a speed far exceeding those of these guards—a tool similar to a saddle, but because it fits the subterranean lizard, it is bigger and deeper. Enough for a child to lie in; and the height of a dwarf. It also happens to be appropriate.
Hildrin, who was shrunk in the saddle bridge, revealed a pair of eyes and looked carefully at the direction behind.
That's where the sound of crossbow arrows was heard.
The dwarves present were all facing there, but there was no sign of the gloomy tunnel—not only the so-called flickering of figures, but also the sound of the firing of crossbow arrows. It's just the previous sound.
However, the dwarves present would never think that this was their own illusion.
"Send two men to see! Is our scout still alive?"
Hildrin hid in the saddle bridge and shouted at the dwarf guards.
Following such shouts, two dwarf guards were immediately elected—in fact, the entire team already had a plan for such an emergency.
Those who can be selected are the most alert and dexterous people.
Especially at a height like a dwarf. It also allowed the dexterity to be brought to the extreme.
Even ordinary drows dare not underestimate them.
The people in the team watched with bated breath as the two dwarves stepped into the darkness behind them. When they reached the range of sight and the figures of the two dwarves were swallowed up, their breathing almost stopped.
Because, after the two dwarves disappeared, there was no sound of footsteps.
There was silence!
immediately. The dwarves including Hildrin trembled in their hearts; even the dullest people would have a bad premonition at this time.
laugh!
A bottle of potion appeared in Hildrin's hand, and then he threw it straight away.
Following the low sound, a large area behind the team was illuminated, not a dazzling light, but something similar to moonlight.
And this is for the creatures living in the underground world. But it is enough.
Under this radiance, they clearly saw their missing scout, and the two dwarves who went after them—all fainted to the ground.
The ups and downs of his chest proved that the other party was not dead.
"Bring our people back!"
Hildrin shouted loudly—the duration of the potion. It took longer than expected. Similarly, in this light, the morale of the dwarf guards recovered again.
Four dwarf guards holding daggers quickly ran towards their own people who had fainted on the ground, and behind them were two dwarf guards holding crossbow arrows - if anything abnormal happened, these two dwarf guards would definitely be there in the first place. Shoot for a while.
However, contrary to the expectations of the dwarves, after dragging those fainted companions back quickly, and the bottle of light potion had lost its effect, nothing happened during the period.
"grown ups?"
Subconsciously, Hildrin looked at Ye Qi.
"Go ahead!"
Ye Qi said so.
"Okay, my lord!"
Hildrin was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded—even though he had doubts in his heart, the dwarf understood his current role: he was a coordinator, not a commander.
When the commander gives an order, he just needs to cooperate—this is his task.
The team moved forward again.
And Ye Qi's eyes were vaguely scanning the abdomen of the last subterranean lizard.
