Yes, while the parchment in Donn's hand was very different from a map in the ordinary sense of the word, it was a map.

Map of the underworld.

In the underground world, of course, it is impossible to draw a map according to the iconic landscape like the surface of the earth, and the underground world is a three-dimensional space, and it is impossible to draw a map in the ordinary sense.

So, Purlandal's clever adventurers and the mine's workers devised another method of mapping the route of the cave.

It's the tree diagram that Fiona saw.

Starting from the initial location, marking and registering any explored forks encountered along the way, and assessing the level of safety, as well as resources, due to the peculiarities of cave passages, only need to be marked with numbers to determine the route, so it is an effective and very simple way to map the way.

Of course, explorers will definitely not mark resources on the map sold to others, and may even deliberately mark dangerous symbols in caves with resources, which is also a kind of self-interest protection, depending on whether the adventurer who gets the map dares to venture to the place marked as a dangerous area.

Don wouldn't have understood this if he hadn't talked to Locke about it before he set off - and the in-game cave map doesn't need to be recorded as such......

After comparing the map drawn by the adventurer with the road map shown to him by Barod, Don smiled strangely.

These adventurers actually relied on spider web exploration to touch the Red Grotto......

But. The route to the direction of the Red Grotto, the markers on the way become dangerous.

Obviously, people who go in that direction to explore. I don't want anyone else to go over there.

"Let's go."

Don put away the map, smiled, and walked to the cave next to him.

The scar-faced man was stunned: "Huh? Friend, the branches below that cavern are dangerous, why are you-"

"Wealth is in danger."

After throwing down a sentence, Donn entered the cave first.

Watching the heavily armed warriors enter the cave, the scar-faced man touched the scars on his face. A complicated face: "Fugui...... Is it in danger? ”

That's right, but after seeing the wealth, who would have thought of the dangers that come with it?

After a sigh. The scar-faced man saw the adventurer coming behind him again, and his spirits perked up, and he shouted again with his companions.

After leaving the Crystal Cave, the light of this passage dimmed again. However, the guards have already taken out the light crystals. The right size of the light crystal just snapped into the potion card slot of the armor belt, and although it took up a potion card slot, it freed up their hands, made it much easier, and allowed them to deal with dangerous situations at any time.

I don't know if it's because the branches under this cave on the map are generally dangerous, so along the way, I hardly saw a few people on the road, even if I met others. They also clutched their pockets with a vigilant face, and hurriedly passed by with their heads down. Both sides remained silent and did not communicate at all.

Again, it must be emphasized that the underworld is dangerous, really dangerous.

Although Tang En's surroundings were full of crisp laughter, but in the place they couldn't see, the killing and treasure never stopped, one by one adventurers were surprised to find priceless treasures, but at this time they were plotted behind the back by their companions, and fell to death in a pool of blood, maybe Tang En could know how many people came in, but they never knew how many people could get out of here.

This is a land of lawlessness, where the laws of the earthly world do not apply, and before entering here with the idea of getting rich overnight, you must be mentally prepared to die at any time.

Although there are still traces of artificial excavation in this cave, for some reason, it is obviously underground, but the road here is very weathered, and the air flow around it is very violent, and in the gaps between the messy rocks and dirt, all kinds of unknown small insects are shuttling around, and from time to time some insects are hanging down by the wind, and occasionally some will blow directly to the face.

So at this time, you can always hear Fiona and Elsa's exclamations.

Illya, on the other hand, is completely indifferent to these bugs.

The bugs that the little girl is usually afraid of have long been accustomed to her, and before she was taken in by the Albertons, she slept in the forest at night, and always encountered those bugs.

But the bugs were always far away from her, so Illya was never afraid, but sometimes deliberately teased them, and it was funny to see them flee in a panic.

"I'm starting to regret coming along."

Accidentally stepping on another bug, hearing the crisp "snapping" sound under her feet, Fiona's face turned even paler, especially in the dark, illuminated by the light of the crystal, which made Don feel like watching a ghost movie - but this female ghost is more like the heroine of the movie.

This dark, oppressive passage with an eerie whistling sound echoing in the air always gives a very unsettling feeling, and Fiona always feels that the stones and dirt above her head will collapse at any moment, and then bury them completely......

Although Elsa didn't speak, her expression at this moment obviously betrayed her heart.

Vanilla behind him said in a muffled voice, "I regret it even more." ”

Fiona turned her head to look, the corners of her mouth twitched, because this passage was unexpectedly short, so the tall and strong vanilla could only walk hunched, and after a while she simply put her hands on the ground, drooping her tail and crawling like a real animal, the eyes of the guards next to her made her very tangled.

"Uh, do you need me to unleash a Transfiguration spell on you?"

Tang En also felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Make your body a little smaller, it will be more convenient to be underground." ”

A trace of panic flashed on Vanilla's face, and she shook her head again and again: "No, no need!" If you suddenly change your body size, it will be very inconvenient for you to fight! ”

"That's right."

Locke nodded: "I was once fortunate enough to obtain a bottle of Giant's Power Elixir, and I took it in a dangerous situation, although I successfully solved the danger, but after my body became huge, it was very awkward to fight." ”

"That'...... Well, looking at the current trend of the cave, the front should be a little more open, you bear with it. ”

Don shrugged as the group continued on their way.

After about ten minutes, the diameter of the cave began to expand and the degree of weathering began to increase, and at this time, Don also noticed a turbulent change in the air currents, indicating that the terrain of the cave in front of him had become more complicated.

Not long after, the cave that appeared in front of him confirmed Donn's suspicion.

It was a cave tens of meters high, the cave was covered with sharp stalactites, the air flow passed between the stalactites, and after being cut many times, it made a strange sound, and the stalactites exuded a dreamy and charming color under the illumination of the light, and conquered the girls at once.

"It's beautiful!"

Illya, who was in Don's arms, widened her eyes and wanted to return to the ground, the color reflected by the stalactites was like a sweet dream woven in the hearts of girls, which would make them resonate strongly.

"It's windy, don't move."

Don pressed her back into his arms, the air flow here was so strong that it was no problem to run away with a fluttering Illya.

"Hmm."

Although those stalactites are beautiful, being protected by Don also makes Illya very happy.

"Be careful."

As he continued to walk forward, Locke said with a cautious expression: "I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous here." ”

The path ahead was covered with gravel and stalactites that had sunk into the ground, and there were faint traces of dried blood - it was obvious that the stalactites had fallen and hit some hapless egg.

The hot underground world is like a pressure cooker that is constantly heated and pressurized, and the cracks caused by the collapse of Helldrum cause a drastic change in the pressure of the underground world, just like a pressure cooker deflating and depressurizing.

In addition, the terrain here just forms a wind channel, and the air currents become more violent here, and the stalactites that have been silent here for an unknown number of years are blown away.

At the current rate, I'm afraid that in less than a year and a half, this place will be bare.

The team proceeded cautiously, keeping an eye on the situation above, and even raised their shields, which were better than nothing, though most of the warriors' shields were ornaments.

Don is certainly capable of dealing with the dangers of stalactites, but it's also good to train their vigilance.

"Click."

In the whining echo, almost no one could hear the crunch of the stalactites breaking, but Donn, Vanilla, Elsa, and Illya all noticed.

Elsa warned immediately: "Disperse immediately!" ”

Almost immediately, the members of the guard did not even look at the falling rocks, but immediately reacted to the order, dispersed in an instant, and in the event of an unavoidable emergency, this response could minimize the damage.

Only then do they observe the location of the falling rocks and fine-tune them as needed.

The sharp stalactites happened to be blown towards little Tom by a strong wind, Uncle Depp immediately raised the tower shield, his muscles bulged suddenly, and the power of blood and qi poured into the tower shield, he roared and jumped up, and slammed into the stalactite: "Give me - broken!" ”

The huge stalactite, which was five meters thick at its thickest point, was struck by the tower shield, and shattered into pieces of flying stones that shot in all directions, hitting the armor of others with a clanging sound.

"Uncle Depp is too nervous."

Little Tom put away his weapon and said nonchalantly, "I could have done it myself." ”

"It's good to have self-confidence, but it's stupid to be overconfident."

Uncle Depp let go of the tower shield and let the others look at his hand.

There was a deep grip mark on the back of his hand, and he was still trembling slightly, which showed how powerful the impact he had just endured.

Little Tom realized how dangerous he was just now.

"Sorry, and, thank you!"

"Report!"

At this time, Danny suddenly shouted: "There is a situation next to it!" ”

Just as he was scattering, Danny suddenly noticed a huge cocoon in the rubble next to him. (To be continued.) )
