After walking around, I finally found the cave entrance blocked by rocks in the corner.
Use the light ball to explore the path and quickly enter the cave, being extremely cautious along the way.
After walking forward for several hundred meters, there was a faint light at the entrance of the cave.
Jia Zhengjin walked over slowly, walked to the entrance of the cave and took a look, and was stunned for a moment.
He thought his eyes were dazzled, so he stretched out his hand to rub his eyes hard, but found that there was indeed a forest in front of him, a fantasy forest composed of plants that grew very deep underground and all emitted a faint light!
Although there is no wind, plants of all sizes will sway gently from side to side, making a rustling sound.
Jia Zhengjin patted his face and wondered if he had not woken up. In this environment, how could a forest grow without light? Some of the trees actually reached all the way up to the rock formations of the cave, and then the leaves extended around and became huge.
The crown of glory.
The moment he saw this fantasy forest, Jia Zhengjin had only one thought: "Beautiful! So beautiful! If you can build a home in such a forest, you will live happily even in the underground world!"
While I was immersed in the fantasy forest in front of me, a rushing sound suddenly sounded in my ears, accompanied by the sound of branches being stepped on.
Jia Zhengjin hurriedly turned around, quickly raised his trident in a fighting posture, and vigilantly searched for the source of the sound in the dense and luminous jungle.
"Roar~!" At this moment, the soil under his feet suddenly stirred, and something quickly burrowed from the ground and approached him. When it reached his feet, it suddenly broke out of the earth and rushed towards him with a roar.
"Instant retreat!" Jia Zhengjin subconsciously used skills to avoid the attack at an alarming speed. Only then did he see clearly that what emerged from the ground was an ugly black python, but it had a tentacle on its head and the top of the tentacle.
It is a round luminous sphere, just like a light bulb.
"What the hell? These underground creatures are so weird!" Jia Zhengjin looked at the giant python in surprise. After waiting for it to escape, he immediately stepped forward and stabbed out with his trident.
"Roar!!" The ugly giant python opened its mouth and faced Jia Zhengjin, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.
"Flash!" Jia Zhengjin disappeared instantly and appeared behind it at the moment it pounced, stabbing the black python's head hard with the trident in his hand.
"Gah——!!" The giant black python couldn't dodge and was directly pierced through the head. It let out a shrill cry and then fell down.
[System] You killed Legilitos and gained 3,000 experience points!
"Legilitos?" Jia Zhengjin carefully approached the underground creature while constantly observing its surroundings. After confirming that there was no other movement, he reached out and groped around on it.
[System] You have obtained the luminous gland of Legilitus!
[System] You have obtained the saliva of Legilitus!
[System] You have obtained glowing plant seeds!
[Legilitos' Luminous Gland] This creature has a luminous gland on its head, which can emit light and illuminate its surroundings. It is said that this thing can be used as medicine and can treat some strange diseases.
[Legilitos’ saliva] This thing is highly poisonous, and even a little bit on your skin can threaten your life! Be careful, don’t seek death!
[Glowing Plant Seeds] Planted in dark places where sunlight cannot shine, strange flowers, plants and trees can grow.
The saliva of this thing is actually highly poisonous? It’s amazing! Fortunately, I’m not afraid of poison, and it’s not that easy to be touched.
"Well..." Just when he collected the loot and stood up to continue exploring, a voice suddenly appeared.
"Who?!" Jia Zhengjin was startled. He immediately raised his trident vigilantly and kept checking his surroundings. However, there was no one around, so he couldn't help but frown, "Is it an auditory hallucination?"
"That...Mr. Giant!" The voice sounded again, as if it was very close.
"Mr. Giant?" Jia Zhengjin turned around in confusion and kept looking around, "Is it really a hallucination? What's going on?"
"Mr. Giant, here! Look here!"
"Auditory hallucination! It must be auditory hallucination! It can't be a ghost, right?" Jia Zhengjin kept looking around in confusion, but still couldn't see anyone.
"Hey——! Mr. Giant from the ground, I'm here! Please bow your head!" The voice sounded again.
"What's going on? The auditory hallucinations won't last for so long, right?" Jia Zhengjin scratched his head in confusion, "Look down?"
He tried to look at the ground, but his eyes nearly popped out.
It turned out that in a piece of glowing grass under his feet, there was a palm-sized humanoid creature looking up at him eagerly.
"You...you called me?" Jia Zhengjin was stunned, squatting down and carefully looking at the little man in the grass.
I saw that his height was almost the same as the palm of my hand, so I could probably catch him with a handful. A bigger rat from another world would probably swallow him in one bite!
This little man looks like he has just grown up, with messy brown hair like a bird's nest, wearing small clothes made of plant fiber, and holding a thorn that was broken off from an unknown plant in his hand.
It's his weapon.
When Jia Zhengjin finally saw him, the villain emerged from the grass, his expression looking both scared and full of expectation: "Mr. Giant, are you the legendary surface human, right?"
"The legendary...surface humans?" Jia Zhengjin blinked, a little confused, "Who are you? No! What race are you? Your language seems to be the lingua franca of mankind!"
"Mr. Giant, I am a human being, so of course I use human common language!" the villain said, "You are the legendary surface human, right?"
"Yes, that should be it, right?" Jia Zhengjin stared at the toy-like little man, feeling very inconsistent, "Also, my name is Keen."
"It turns out to be the legendary surface human Mr. Keen!"
"Can we omit the legendary surface humans? Just call me Keen!" Jia Zhengjin kept looking at the villain, "How can there be a villain like you living in this place?"
"Mr. Keane, my name is Jimmy!" The villain looked quite nervous, "We have lived here for generations. But the legendary surface humans are more magical in our opinion!"
"Okay! Maybe you think I'm a rare and exotic beast, and I think you're almost the same!" Jia Zhengjin said, "But how do you know I'm a surface human?"
"Grandpa once told me a story. His story is his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather... In short, it has been passed down from generation to generation." The villain Jimmy replied, "It is said that in ancient times, I don't know how many thousands of years ago.
In the era, our ancestors and the ancestors of humans on the surface belonged to the same ethnic group, and we were all humans. Later, our ancestors were cursed by the devil and changed from normal humans to what they are now. They were buried deep in this underground world and can never be seen again.
Leave! Speaking of which, Mr. Keane and we are also distant relatives!"
"Really?" Jia Zhengjin was confused.
"Um, Mr. Keane..."
"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Seeing his hesitation, Jia Zhengjin said.
"Yes, can you give me the thing on the head of this terrifying dragon, that... what is that thing called?" Jimmy asked cautiously, "Our country has been plagued by diseases over the years, and the number of deaths is increasing.
Only the glowing thing on the head of the terrifying dragon can be formulated into medicine to cure everyone. Over the years, countless brave men have come one after another, but they have all become the food of the terrifying dragon. My fate may have been the same, but who knew that I would be lucky enough to meet Mr. Keen?
And you also killed the terrifying dragon with your own hands..."
"The terrifying dragon?" Jia Zhengjin looked back and asked, "You mean this thing?"
"Yes, Mr. Keane! Please give me the thing on the terrifying dragon's head. As long as you save all the patients in our country, your Majesty will definitely thank you!" Jimmy begged sincerely.
"Okay!" It was useless for Jia Zhengjin to ask for this luminous gland, and he was quite interested in the "country" Jimmy mentioned. Are they all underground human countries the same size as him? It should be interesting!
