Chapter 0224: Crisis
Chapter 0224 Crisis
It is a small tunnel that spirals and zigzags downward, and the entrance of the cave is open behind a huge bell rock, which is really difficult to find without careful searching.
The stone wall on one side of the cave entrance radiated a misty green light, apparently containing a lot of metallic minerals. With this faint light source, the appearance of this figure was barely illuminated. A soft white robe of unknown material was draped over the humanoid body, and the fangs and sharp teeth on the unmasked thin face radiated cold light, and it was a fierce face of a jackal. What's even more terrifying is that there are blood marks flowing all over his face, which looks like a wound he grabbed and pulled, but strangely not half a drop of blood flows out.
This gnoll murderer who scared away all the underground creatures was the blood demon who accepted Li Xun's mission.
As the most irresponsible master, Li Xun only gave an extremely vague underground world coordinates, and there was no other information to trace, which caused great trouble to the Blood Demon. The Underground World is different from the surface in that there is no universal world map, no straight and open passages, only rugged and coiled passages and large and small caverns connected to each other.
Even Drow, who occupies a dominant position here, knows at most the general environment of the two or three hundred miles around the city where he is located, and occasionally knows some common trade routes, and in addition to this, it is the living world of endless underground creatures. Want to travel between these cities? Well, come and find the caravans that have been going through them for years!
They may be able to place you in a caravan after receiving enough pay, but they will never sell the so-called map. Besides, without the guidance of a "veteran" who knows how to read maps, even if you are given a so-called map, you will only get lost in the endless swirling three-dimensional caves. Knowing the way here, most of them rely on extraordinary intuition and mysterious instincts, and there is no such thing as zài running the world with a map.
With the darkness of the Blood Demon, there are one or two caravans devouring, and all that can be obtained from the memory fragments are fragmented special scenes, and it is difficult to match the road in front of them. For an outsider, the terrain here is simply no different, except for the endless darkness, which is large and small caves, winding corridors, inexhaustible cold-blooded creatures, and thick and thin stone pillars dripping with water.
To put it mildly, this is a magical underground world, and to put it mildly, it's a huge stone tomb. From the moment you set foot in the underworld, you'd better think of yourself as a living dead, or sooner or later you'll go mad in some empty crevice of the rock.
The Blood Demon looked at the narrow hole in front of him, and once again emitted that kind of peculiar concussive sound wave, confirming that this was a passable road, and it was also in the direction of the coordinates given by the master, so he did not hesitate, quickly plunged into it, and groped his way forward in the direction he had just detected.
……
The carriage swayed lightly on the solid gravel road.
Li Xun leaned on the wall of the car, pinched the corners of his forehead, and had a brief spiritual connection with the cemetery heroes in several places in a row, and learned about the current situation of urban development, so he disconnected with peace of mind.
This kind of long-range psychic communication will be carried out every 2-3 days, in the past, in the cemetery mage tower, with the support of the magic circle, it is not much of a burden, but now that he is alone, this kind of cross-regional, cross-plane psychic communication can only be promoted by his spiritual power. Therefore, after just a few minutes, Li Xun was a little tired.
In the shaking carriage, without alarming anyone around him, he silently carried out cross-plane communication, which was only possible for his soul to be semi-advanced again, and in the past, he could only depict some temporary soul arrays, with the help of the supplement and amplification of soul crystals.
Cialis changed back into her usual black mage robe, and was flipping through a heavy magic book on the small table in the corner of the carriage.
It seems that the treatment is indeed different from before. A woman who has a ** relationship can be regarded as a woman who truly belongs to herself!
Li Xun took the opportunity to fall on her soft and plump thighs, in a posture of closing his eyes and recuperating, Cialis's blue eyes glanced at him, not only did not rush him up, but the gesture was more gentle, and even adjusted the posture to make him lie more comfortable.
"Take a good rest! I'll wake you up when I get to the place. Cillis covered Li Xun's eyes with a slender and delicate jade hand, and the other hand quietly hit the bad hand on her buttocks, and whispered softly.
Li Xun smiled, sniffed the faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, and slowly calmed down.
The girl sitting at the door was dressed in light close-fitting soft armor, sitting against the wall with her knees hugged, her body facing outward, silently staring at the moving ground outside the car, as if she didn't care about the movement behind her, but her slightly swaying shoulders revealed that her mood was not as calm as it seemed.
"Can I talk to you?" The soft female voice behind her made the girl's body tremble, hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around slowly.
Two beautiful and graceful women looked at each other through a sleeping man, and finally their eyes fell on the young face with a childlike happy smile at the same time, and they couldn't help but sigh.
……
Duchy of Novis, Whispering Forest, City of Eternal Night.
This is an inaccessible primeval forest, and in a broad sense, this forest stretches for thousands of miles along the coastline to be called the Whispering Forest. But the most mysterious of them is still the 300 miles of woodland where Big Rock Village is located.
Ever since a mage came to the village of Oiwa and built a magical "Mage Tower" at the edge of the forest, this place has become a place that can be remembered by the big people. The villagers were exempted from all taxes, and they no longer had to be forced into the depths of the Whispering Forest to hunt the beasts that the nobles loved to pay for their taxes, and they could collect all the income from their labor in their own small cellars.
During the day, the hard-working folks toiled in the cleared land, and the favorite game of the village's half-grown children was to run to the mage's tower to peek at the big guys. Seeing that behemoth as tall as a mountain was covered in turquoise flames, but it would not ignite the trees around it, all the little ones were amazed. Of course, if they were lucky, they would be able to meet the great magical mage outside the stone tower, a young man who was not too much older than them.
As a result, it became their daily game to talk and walk in imitation of the mage's style, until the wise village chief Mok told them that what they saw was not the greatest Master Li Xun, but the apprentice of Master Li Xun, but now he has become a great mage.
This made a group of little guys envious, and they all looked forward to the day when Master Li Xun could also take a fancy to him and accept him as a disciple, so that he could become a great mage. Driven by this straight-line thinking, the boys and cooks who came out of the stone tower every day to purchase daily necessities and special game became the target of everyone's stitching, not only delivering to the door but also charging no fees, just hoping to say a word or two to the master.
The only regret is that deep in the woodland, the place that was once occupied by the thieves, because there were too many dead people and the disposal was not clean enough, a terrible plague broke out, forming a dead place. The benevolent Master Li Xun came here in time and blocked the place with a magical spell to block the source of the plague, which avoided the destruction of the Whispering Forest and saved the people of Dayan Village.
In order to warn everyone not to go to the place of death, the great Master Li Xun used a black mist to mark the safe range. As long as the hunters and firewood villagers of Dayan Village do not go into the fog, they do not have to worry about their own safety. It's a pity that due to the existence of the plague, the nearby beasts have been evacuated, and the hunters have to go farther if they want to make a gain.
Every adventurer or mercenary who spends the night in Big Rock Village and intends to enter the Whispering Forest for exploration or hunting will be repeatedly warned by the villagers not to approach the Black Mist. But there are always some crooked-minded daredevils, who pretend to be clever enough to think that it is a secret room set up by a mage, and deliberately write lies to scare ignorant country men. As a result, these guys never returned, never to return from the forest.
Accustomed to the mystery of the black fog in the depths of the woodland, the local villagers gradually lost patience with these outsiders who did not know the height of the sky, so they simply put up a simple sign outside the only hotel in the village and stopped talking about persuasion.
On the third day after Li Xun left Novis, a mysterious guy whose whole body was covered by the adventurer's cloak entered Dayan Village.
The sign in front of the inn was simple and straightforward, but the mysterious creature lingered there for a long time before finally entering the inn.
When he brushed off his hood in front of the innkeeper, he showed a calm and dignified white-haired old man. This surprised the innkeeper Thor, who was not suitable for an adventurer or a mercenary at such an age, so he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
However, the white-haired old man didn't seem to care about this, but ordered a veal steak with ale that travelers often use, and talked to Thor while eating. The white-haired old man didn't need to deliberately inquire about anything, in a remote village with less than a hundred people, how could there be so many novelties to say, as soon as the parents finished speaking, Thor himself couldn't stop the door, and his eyebrows fluttered and he told the changes brought by the great mage master to Dayan Village in detail.
It wasn't until the night was dark that the two confidants who had a good conversation came to an end, and the old man stayed in the hotel.
The mountains sleep early, and when the last rays of red glow disappear into the sky, the whole world falls into a deep darkness.
Quiescence.
In the last year or so, there have been fewer and fewer small animals in the woodland closest to the village, and even many birds have migrated deeper into the jungle, and at night, the whole woodland is silent and terrible.
