There was a cold, fishy smell in the darkness, like the smell of underground soil, seeping into the lungs. The light from the staff reflected a pale root system on the uneven rock wall, and many insects were driven away between the light and shadow. I crawled around under the roots. In addition to some tiny beetles that I couldn't name, there were also creatures from the phylum Arthropods or Myriapods, such as spiders and crickets.
The mage raised his head and touched these roots through thick leather gloves. They were very tough and not dead vines. He looked along the wall, and his vision stopped at the far end. The rock walls on both sides looked like They tilt over and overlap to form a narrow dome, extending infinitely upward.
"This must lead to the ground, these vines are still alive." The tragic Long's girlfriend couldn't help but whisper when she saw Xiao Fen doing this.
Xiao Fen was startled for a moment and looked back at the other party. He just came to this conclusion.
"She learned this in reality," the tragic Long Mang explained: "But this is in a game. It may not be done accurately."
"This place is the same as reality, dragon." The girl frowned and said angrily: "The top here must reach the surface, because the root system of the plant will not reach such a deep underground unless it is a special species. But this is just the root system of an ordinary poplar tree, which means there must be a gap here and many plants growing there. It's just above here, only fifty meters away." She pointed to the top of her head and said with certainty.
"Fifty meters is already very deep, little goose." The tragic dragon smiled sarcastically and grabbed his girlfriend's hand.
"You know how to be brave." The girl blushed, lowered her head and complained.
Kargas turned around to look at this scene and smiled. He glanced at the female knight, but the latter quietly turned away, pretending not to notice the gaze with an indifferent look. At this time, only our mage I couldn't help coughing: "Ahem, let me tell you. Now is not the time for everyone to exchange feelings. Of course, I don't mean to beat the mandarin ducks; when the task is completed, I will help each of you summon a "Leo Meng" Sweet Cottage. Come out."
The tragic dragon couldn't help but giggle.
Even Kargas rolled his eyes.
Xiao Fen felt a small hand grabbing his own in the darkness. He turned around and saw the little girl's big bright eyes falling on him. "Brother Palin, that's why I say you are the least sentimental." The girl whispered, rolling her eyes: "How can you disturb others at this time? Normal people wouldn't do this, right? We just need to keep silent."
"Sentiment?" The mage smiled: "You also want a sweet cabin?"
The little girl's face immediately turned red: "Bad, bad guy. You think, think beautifully."
"I mean you live alone."
"Go to hell." Sophia raised her eyebrows. She opened her small fangs and struck the mage's back with the hilt of her sword.
superior.
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle, and the mage also smiled slightly. Traveling underground always gave people a depressing tone, but he could always find a way to make his friends relax. But after a while, he He turned around and asked, "Do you know much about plants?"
"Ah?" The girl who was called Little Goose by the tragic dragon was slightly startled: "I only understand a little bit."
"Xiao Ge is very good. Her major is plant ecology." The tragic Long explained with a smile: "The reason why she can play games with me is actually because she wants to practice what she has learned. Because each of us here
We all have plenty of time.”
"I just took a look. The world in Canaan is like a real world." The girl replied in a low voice: "But one day, I still have to go to the real forest in person."
"It's amazing. The little girl's eyes were shining and she said with some admiration.
But that's not what Xiao Fen cares about. He just writes this down. Although there is a knowledgeable druid on Xue's side, let alone whether this girl's profession is a druid, plant ecology and agricultural botany are
Two concepts. But when appropriate, he will still ask this girl and the tragic dragon for their opinions. After all, they are much better than ordinary people.
Just not now.
The six people groped along the dark underground mountain walls, trying to find a correct path. In the dark underground, the enemy may hide in any direction, in front, behind, overhead or even in the rock wall. Therefore, this time is not divided.
It was a good time. Everyone walked along this gap for a long time, almost thinking that they had been deceived, but at this time, the narrow mountain wall branched in front.
Then everyone stopped, and after discussion, the paladin used his sword to carve a mark on the wall of the valley. After that, everyone continued to move forward, and almost fell into a natural trap on the way, and several large spider girls with shaggy hair were released.
One of them was landing on the little girl's head, and the spider the size of a washbasin lay on Sophia's face, scaring our little paladin princess into screaming and almost hitting her head against the rock wall.
It was Ellie who stabbed the spider to death and flew it away, while Xiao Fen burned the remaining eight-legged arthropod to charcoal. This attack was a near miss, but it caused serious damage to several ladies.
The psychological shadow is definitely obvious, and now they are all carefully hiding behind their respective male companions.
Of course, except for the female knight.
Xiao Fen looked at the female knight with interest, her face turned pale with fright, her fingers were white-knuckled as she held her long slender claws, and she was trembling slightly.
It was quite interesting to watch the scene of him having to save face and suffer. But the little girl behind him clinging to his back like a ball of ooze also gave him a big headache.
Although it is natural for a brother to protect his sister, this seems to be a bit too close.
After a while, they groped in the darkness and suddenly stepped out of the ground. Their vision widened in front of them. There was a bottomless mountain stream, an abyss, and a stone bridge shaped by magic stretched out from one side of the abyss, connecting them.
There was a huge gap on the mountain wall on the other side. When they saw this scene, everyone couldn't help but be startled.
You can't imagine the majestic momentum of nature's miraculous craftsmanship. A lonely stone bridge is above an abyss that does not touch the sky or the ground. The heavy rain pours down, and the dark sky leaves only the top of the mountain.
A line that is not bright.
The mountain was split from the center to create this magnificent scene. Everyone took a deep breath and raised their heads to look at the faint line above their heads, just like any tiny human being looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
, we must also be impressed by the power of nature.
After passing the stone bridge, everyone came to the huge hollow cave at the other end. The mage raised his staff. Beyond the pale light, the cave was dark, but everyone heard the rumbling sound of underground water coming from far and near.
, obviously there should be some other passages leading to this place through the caves carved by the water. Xiao Fen looked around. He immediately saw something that was both unexpected and expected.
"There is a door over there." He stretched his staff in a certain direction. The soft light extended over there, reflecting a simple stone door.
The stone gate is about ten people as wide and ten people as tall. It sleeps quietly among a piece of natural fang-shaped rocks, as if it was formed naturally. But the surface is as smooth as a mirror. The girl exclaimed and hugged her own
Walking over with a two-handed sword, his big sky-blue eyes stared at the stone door unblinkingly, a little dumbfounded.
"There are words on the stone door." The tragic dragon suddenly pointed.
Sure enough, everyone saw a few lines of small words written on the smooth rock door. They were not in bold and enlarged fonts in common language, but more like square shapes like Chinese in real life. It was just that there were different strokes between strokes.
It is full of the unique artistic style of Dwarf language. Therefore, when everyone sees this language, a sentence emerges subconsciously in their mind: This is the real language of the Stone Clan.
"In the darkness, the earth roared. Kagas raised his head and read the first sentence.
Xiao Fen glanced at him, a little surprised. It was a bit strange for a holy warrior to understand the Jian language.
"The sound heard underground is the pulse of the land." However, he still took the other party's head and stated to others: "It's like a sleeping giant beast.
"Giant beast". Xiao Fen stopped to chew the word: "It means danger."
Karges pulled out his long sword, turned around and asked, "Do you want to go in?"
However, the little girl had already run to the stone door alone. She curiously touched the mirror-like rock wall and turned around and asked, "How do I open the door?"
"You might as well try Open Sesame." Xiao Fen said as he walked over.
He saw a dark shadow flashing past the little girl's feet. It was a mouse, really as big as a cat. The mage couldn't help but turned around and looked at each other with the paladin. Could it be that the task here is really to eliminate mice, but
It doesn’t look like them at all, does it? Not to mention other things, the spider girls outside the door alone are not something that ordinary novices can deal with.
Even though it is sometimes nonsensical, I will not do anything that goes against the norm of the world.
Karges winked at him, meaning: Take it step by step.
On the other side, the little girl honestly read out word by word: "Open Sesame". She held her sword and looked at the stone door with great expectation.
But the stone door didn't move at all.
"Your pronunciation is not very standard. Have you ever heard English with a Middle Eastern accent?" Xiao Fen resisted laughing and walked to the door and asked.
"ah?.
"you can try."
"Brother Palin, you are lying, how is it possible?" The little girl's eyes widened.
"You won't lose any meat if you try it." The mage said calmly.
Sophia thought for a while and felt that it seemed to make some sense. Then she tried her best to read word by word: "Open sesame."
There was a loud bang, and the whole stone door shook. For a moment, it seemed that the entire cave was shaking. Waves of sand and gravel fell from the ceiling, making a rustling sound. The little girl screamed in fright, looking like a big boy.
She looked startled. She seemed to subconsciously want to retreat, but she couldn't stand firmly and moved forward; our little paladin princess grabbed the mage's sleeve and shouted in surprise: "The real Hou Palin
Brother! You can really open the door!"
Others couldn't help but snicker, because they clearly saw the mage retracting his hand from a sunken place and patting the dirt on his hand.
But Xiao Fen was not in the mood to laugh right now.
Because he had already seen that after the stone gate collapsed, the black things inside surged out like a torrent. Even though Xiao Fen had never been afraid of mice since he was a child, he saw these red eyes like tides and his body was covered with oil.
Creatures with shiny black fur and teeth as sharp as daggers scattered out, especially these rats, which seemed to have emerged from rotting corpses. Their bodies were covered with pustules, and their fur was curled and rotting.
The solution overflowed and there were gaps in it! From time to time, white maggots could be seen squirming, and the thick and long pointed tails were swaying like worms. It was really creepy.
What follows is a rotten stench that makes your internal organs churn, the smell of death. It gradually fills your sense of smell from your sense of smell, and it is like an astringent, sour smell.
It fills your mouth all at once. Although you know it's just imagination, it's enough to make you feel sick.
Even the mage himself shuddered, let alone several other ladies.
The little girl screamed in fright, left Xiao Fen and ran away. But fortunately, she had not forgotten that she was a paladin and knew how to run and grab the girl named Xiao Goose to escape with her. As for the tragedy of Long
The little girlfriend was already petrified. As soon as Sophia pulled her, she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground. The little girl was so anxious that she was at a loss for a moment.
The female knight Ellie didn't do anything. She dropped the sword in her hand to the ground with a clang and didn't even react.
Only Karges was slightly better, his face was pale, but he was still aware of the seriousness of the situation. He immediately stepped in front of Xiao Fen and shouted: "I will cover you and set fire to drive away these disgusting things."
Xiao Fen suppressed his nausea and immediately opened his five fingers to emit a thin flame from his fingers. The flames passed over the paladin and covered the first group of black rats like a golden-red windbreaker, covering the first group of black rats.
They wrapped them up and made these little things scream. The flames spread quickly along the rats and soon became a sea of fire.
Although these disgusting things look creepy, rats are rats, and there is absolutely no way they can resist under the hands of a near-legendary mage. After the flames passed, there was a pile of charred corpses on the ground, and the air
In addition to the burnt smell, there is also a hint of meaty aroma.
But the smell of meat can make people feel more nauseous than the stench. For example, Sophia was standing at the back, holding on to the wall, her face pale, and feeling sick in waves.
After Xiao Fen finished using one flame hand, he immediately added another one. He kept pushing forward like a human-shaped flamethrower. If there were some fish that slipped through the net, they were all cut into pieces by Karges's sword. However,
The paladin gentleman kept taking back the long sword in his hand and looking at the dark blood on it, while he couldn't help but frown.
"I'm afraid this sword can't be used anymore." Xiao Fen made a joke to him with a sullen expression.
"Fortunately, I didn't bring out my main weapon." The paladin nodded with lingering fear.
As the two of them pushed forward, they finally couldn't hold back the surging rats, and retreated with squeaking screams. When they came, they were like flash floods, and when they retreated, they were like the ebb of the sea. The black mass scattered in all directions, but it was just
In the blink of an eye, everything disappeared, leaving only the charred corpses on the ground. Karges finally couldn't bear it at this time. He immediately threw the sword aside and then took it off his belt.
Bundle.
Xiao Fen immediately looked through his battle records. He had discovered something wrong during the previous battle, but he had to go through the logs to confirm the specific problem.
He filtered out the death information first, and then took a gentle breath.
"There is no kill record and no experience tips."
"Perhaps the level is too low?" Kargas asked rhetorically.
Xiao Fen shook his head: "I'm afraid not, but we didn't kill "it". This is a swarm. A swarm of creatures."
"Swarm creatures?" the tragic dragon asked as he helped his girlfriend up.
"It means that a group forms a whole, sharing a common life and wisdom." The mage frowned: "But the clusters of creatures in the Oras records are very difficult to form. They are either very famous clusters,
They have survived from a certain era in history, such as the cluster of spiked goblin-constructed creatures that built the tower. Or they are special species, such as killer bees. The remaining one is due to special reasons. Karges turned his head.
Go and look at your female companion. The knight Ellie is squeezing her neck and trying to exhale. Then she picks up the sword from the ground with lingering fear and stands aside without saying a word.
"Are these ordinary mice?" he turned around and asked.
"What do you mean?" the Master asked.
The paladin came over, poked at the burnt rat corpses with his sword, frowned and said: "You should know that I come from the Sword of the Word, which is an organization of Silver Vislan that specializes in fighting the undead sequence. Although
Occasionally we are also responsible for exterminating demons, but our main job is to fight against the undead, and we are familiar with all kinds of undead."
Xiao Fen raised his head and looked at him doubtfully, wondering why Kagas suddenly mentioned this.
"Among all kinds of undead, do you know that there is a kind of rat called the plague rat?" Karges changed the topic and raised his head and asked.
"Are you trying to say these rats are undead?"
"No."
The female knight suddenly spoke over there: "When I was in another team, I heard the priest in the team tell the legend about an undead creature that lived in symbiosis with the plague rat."
Xiao Fen looked at them. He didn't know much about the undead. The authorities on shining gold coins in this regard were Yun Na and Xue. In comparison, he was better at knowledge about strange monsters, magical creatures or dragons.
