Chapter 190: Underground Journey
The dark and deep underground ruins were silent around them.
There is a hint of moisture and coldness in the air. Since there is no contact with sunlight for many years, there is almost no plant growth in the underground ruins. Except for the rock formations and cracks, some gray mosses and fungi can be seen.
Tick!
There were countless stalactites hanging down at the rock formations at the top of the cave. Water droplets dripped from above and hit the rock below. They persisted and even knocked out a sag, which contained a pool of clear water.
"Huh! Huh..."
A rapid gasp sounded in the silence, and a down-and-out figure stumbled to the rock. His physical strength seemed to be at its limit. He staggered and sat on the ground. Seeing the clear water in the sank of the rock, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Just like a traveler in the desert who lacks water, or a hungry beast.
He used all his last strength to pounce on the rocks, licked the clear water greedily, and felt moisturized with his dry lips. His whole body was like a dry tree getting rain, and he recovered a trace of vitality.
Drinking the water from the stone depression, he raised his head and looked around with vigilance. Seeing a few gray mushrooms growing in the rock formation, he immediately reached out and picked it off. Regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, he swallowed it and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You fallen into a mess without losing the protection of the Night City."
A sudden sound suddenly sounded, and a light burst out in vain in the darkness ahead. Several figures slowly walked over, and Caroline said with a playful smile on her face.
"Surface Wizard!" The Fallen Man's face changed, and his body trembled in fear.
"A Second-level Apprentice Fallen." Rafi stepped forward and sneered, ": According to the reward given by Uncle Ulysses, your head can be exchanged for a bounty of 200 Magic Stones!"
"No! Don't kill me... I'm willing to surrender, sir!" The degenerate apprentice knelt on the ground and begged tremblingly.
"Surrender? We don't need this." Caroline covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Since that's the case...you'll die!"
Suddenly, a trace of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the fallen apprentice. He, who was originally kneeling on the ground, stood up in vain. At some point, a zigzag sword appeared in his hand, and pounced on Caroline like a beast.
"Thunder strike technique!"
Next to him, Rafi's eyes sterned, and he raised his hand to release a ray of lightning, piercing the fallen man's chest like a sharp sword. Strong energy penetrated a hole, and the surrounding flesh and blood seemed to be burned.
"Uh..." The degenerate apprentice's face looked painful, and the stiff body fell to the ground.
"Hehe, kill another fallen apprentice!"
Caroline smiled. She was prepared just now. Even if Rafi didn't take action, she could block the Fallen Counterattack before her death. Seeing that the other party was dead, she clapped her hands excitedly and said, "We have only entered the underground ruins for two days. This is the third Fallen Counterattack. The bounty is 600 magic stones."
"It's a pity that I haven't encountered a third-level fallen apprentice." Rafi said regretfully.
According to the bounty offered by Lei Guang City, the higher the level of the fallen person, the higher the bounty, among which the first level of the fallen person is 50 magic stones, the second level of the fallen person is 200 magic stones, and as for the head of the third level of the fallen person, it can be exchanged for 400 magic stones.
"The head of the third-level Fallen person can almost be exchanged for an intermediate-level demonized item." Caroline looked yearning.
"After the collapse of the night city, the fallen wizard became a rat crossing the street." Enzo shook his head and said, ": In order to escape the pursuit, those third-level fallen people hid deep into the underground ruins. It is not easy to find them."
After solving the second-level fallen man, everyone was busy and then continued to move forward.
"The chip, enable the detection function and scan all nearby living organisms."
The deeper the underground ruins, the more complex the environment becomes. In addition to caves and tunnels, there are countless twists and turns of rock cracks and waterways eroded by thousands of years of flowing water. The fallen ones may be in a dark corner, which is difficult to detect.
After two days of stepping into the underground ruins, Enzo discovered the three fallen people he met before using chips.
"Ding! Life forms were found 1,000 meters ahead. According to the energy level analysis, it is suspected to be a third-level wizard apprentice!"
As Enzo was promoted to a third-level apprentice and his soul undergoes a transformation, the chip seems to have been upgraded. The original detection function extended to the surrounding area by up to 500 meters, but now it has been upgraded to 1,000 meters.
"Go over there and have a look."
Enzo looked in the direction indicated by the chip. It was a long and narrow corridor. The entrance was a cave that only one person could enter. It was pitch black inside and it looked very depressing.
He took the lead and walked into the corridor.
The others followed and Eve used witchcraft to create a ball of light to illuminate everyone. Isaac suddenly noticed that the mushrooms growing in the cracks in the rocks in the corner of the corridor had traces of being picked.
"It seems that someone has indeed been here." Isaac said in a deep voice.
The team soon arrived at the end of the corridor. It was still pitch black in front of it, but the space suddenly became clear. On a dirty and ragged camp, there was a group of short green goblins gathered next to an iron pot.
"Chip, scan!"
Enzo raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop. Instead of rashly breaking into the goblins' camp, he turned on the scanning function of the chip in front of them.
"Goal: Green Skin Goblin/Strength: 0.5/Physical Constitution: 0.4/Spirit: 0.4/Information introduction: Green Skin Goblins who live in underground ruins are naturally timid and cowardly, and are at the bottom of the food chain. They have strong reproductive ability and have no requirements for food. Except for soil and stones, everything is in their recipes."
The busy goblins in the camp are not witchcraft transforming creatures.
They are just some ordinary green-skinned goblins, with a large number of underground ruins. Although they are weak, their races are distributed to every corner of underground ruins with their strong reproductive ability.
The goblin camp in front of me looks very simple.
Apart from the iron pot surrounded by goblins, there were only piles of gravels and a pile of earthen buns with cloth strips on them. The only thing that seemed out of place was the innermost, a shabby black tent.
"Prepare the food quickly, you bad creatures!"
A reprimanding voice came from the tent, and his tone sounded stern, but it was a hint of weakness. After hearing this, the green goblins quickly accelerated their movements and brought out the boiling food in the iron pot.
"Ahem! Damn surface wizard..."
At this time, a gray-robed figure walked out of the tent. His face looked ugly, his skin was extremely pale, his chest was wrapped with gauze, and he was leaning on a simple wooden crutch.
A green goblin walked over with food and tremblingly.
