Chapter 667

After a half-day rest, the team went on the road again.

The entrance to the underground world Izzet mentioned is not far from Shield Island, and after a teleportation, it arrives near the entrance, located at the bottom of a deep canyon.

Everyone entered the canyon and quickly found the entrance.

This is a cave with a height of more than four meters. The entrance of the cave is mostly blocked by several big trees and dense weeds, and the bottom cannot be seen at a glance. Judging from the traces at the entrance of the cave, it has been a long time since there were any living creatures or undead passing by here, and there were gusts of cool wind blowing from the cave, leading to an unknown space.

Izzet observed for a while, then turned back and said, "Not many people know about this entrance, and I discovered it by accident. It can lead to the upper layer of the Underdark."

"Is there any danger?" asked Barack.

"There will definitely be underground creatures, but they pose no threat to us." The dark elf smiled confidently.

"That's good." The Holy Gun Ranger actually asked casually.

Raistlin nodded too. "Let's go in."

Izzet led the way, followed by Athena, then Barak and Raistlin, and Daunthos at the rear.

After entering the cave for more than ten meters, the light cannot shine in, and you can't see your fingers.

Raistlin cast the spell instantly, and several fist-sized balls of light floated around everyone, illuminating the way ahead.

The terrain inside the cave is extremely rugged, like a crack formed after an earthquake. The wide place is like a hall, but the narrow place can only be passed sideways, and the direction is also irregular. Fork in the road.

Izzet is very familiar with this route and can make a choice without hesitation every time.

After advancing for hundreds of meters, the cave began to slope downward, getting deeper and deeper, and every step it took could cause distant echoes.

A few miles further on, the cave floor descends at an almost thirty-degree angle.

The team went deeper and deeper underground.

Gradually, the surrounding environment became humid, and the air was filled with peculiar smells. Raistlin had an accurate calculation of the distance he had traveled, and he had already penetrated at least ten miles underground.

At this time, a faint light came from ahead.

"We're almost there."

Izzet whispered and quickened his pace a little.

A few minutes later, everyone got into a narrow hole, bent forward tens of meters, looked up, and the spectacular scene suddenly came into view.

It was the first time for Raistlin, Athena, and Daunthos to enter the underground world. When they got used to the surrounding environment, they couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the world.

In front of him is a huge cave, which is thousands of meters wide.

The top of the cave is not high, and huge stalactites hang down one by one, as if the dark sky will collapse at any time, giving people a sense of depression.

Mostly hidden in darkness, but not completely invisible.

In the "sky", "wall" and complex "ground", various ferns grow in many places, emitting a faint light. There are also some glow rocks, lichens, and luminous crystals, which can illuminate the nearby area, but the colors are a bit weird, green, dark red, blue and purple, etc., which are bizarre.

Neither darkness nor light had any effect on Raistlin's eye of the soul.

He scanned the cave, and found the underground creatures hidden in it at a glance. The bright light around him was very eye-catching, attracting them to peep in the dark.

The air is very humid, and there is also the sound of water flowing in the distance. There is an underground river there.

Izzet said: "This is the upper layer of the Underdark region. There is no danger to us. I will remind you of the points that need to be paid attention to along the way."

He identified the direction, "Let's continue walking."

The darkness has almost no influence on everyone who has at least a legendary high-level strength. Everyone is walking on the rough terrain, and the progress is not much worse than on the surface.

The demon hunter released a little fel breath, scaring away the underground creatures who tried to attack.

Soon, the team left the cave through a long and narrow tunnel and entered a deeper cave. The Underdark is a dark world composed of countless caves. Some caves are so small that only a few people can fit in, while others are so large that they stretch as far as the eye can see. They are connected by winding tunnels. Sometimes the tunnels are only tens of meters long, and sometimes But it can be tens of miles long, like a huge maze.

The largest cave is like a microcosm of the surface, with a top of thousands of meters high, and inside there are hills, valleys, forests, and swamps, and rivers spread through them to form quiet lakes.

The Underdark is a three-dimensional world, and sometimes you have to climb up from the rock wall or the top of the cave, or use the flying spell to find the exit.

Before entering, Izzet had already introduced it to everyone.

The Underdark is broadly divided into three layers.

The upper layer, which is closest to the surface, has the largest area. There are a large number of underground creatures living in it, including gray dwarves, night goblins, cavemen, dark elves, subdwarf gnomes, beholders, kuo-toa murlocs, etc., who can often contact the surface. Sometimes you can also meet the hunting team from the surface.

The middle layer is deeper underground, and most of the habitable areas are ruled by dark elves.

That was the kingdom of the dark elves, and they regarded other races as slaves. Once any alien race entered the middle layer was discovered by the dark elves, they would attack, kill or enslave them.

The environment in the deepest lower layer is the harshest, with a lack of water sources and lava rifts everywhere.

The lower layer is also the most dangerous area in the Underdark. There are many terrible monsters hidden, and there are also some mysterious and ancient creatures. It is rumored that they are older than the gods. They are the earliest races born in the world of Arrenus, such as aboleth and mushrooms. people.

There are many passages between the three levels, which can pass up and down.

The illithid city "Eleento", which Izzet had seen before, was located in the deepest lower level.

Along the way, everyone had to go on the upper level for about ten days to reach the tunnel leading to the middle level; after entering the middle level, they walked through the kingdom of the dark elves and passed through two drow cities before arriving at the entrance to the lower level.

After walking in the Underdark for half a day, Raistlin and the others felt a little depressed.

Even if they can see things in the dark, if they stay in this closed environment for too long, they will still feel inexplicable irritability.

Barack twisted his neck, and said as he walked, "No wonder the underground creatures are so irritable and full of hatred in their hearts. It's no wonder they don't go crazy after living in such a ghostly place for a lifetime!"

Izzet in front let out a wry smile.

Dawnsos used the spirit-peace technique to calm the restlessness in the hearts of his teammates.

Raistlin rode on a phantom horse he had summoned. The will of truth kept him calm and said, "Life will find a way out. No matter how harsh the environment is, in order to survive, generations of life will eventually adapt to it." .”

Izzet and Daensos were thoughtful on their faces when they heard the words.

Athena was about to answer, but Raistlin suddenly controlled the phantom horse to stop, and said calmly: "We are going to fight."

Everyone was shocked, and then looked forward.

At this moment, the team is in a huge cave with a height of several hundred meters. Inside the cave is an underground forest. The trees are dark in color with few leaves. bite.

In the middle of the forest, there is a small path stepped by an underground caravan, which is blocked by a river in front of it.

Raistlin's eyes pierced the river, where a great deal of aquatic life lurks beneath.

"Kou Tao murloc."

Izzet also discovered the ambush in the river, observed twice, and said in a low voice: "There should be a tribe of Kuo Tao murlocs in this cave. They thought we were an underground caravan and wanted to rob them."

"Haha..." Barack couldn't help laughing.

He was itching from boredom, and he happened to use these Kou Tao Yuren to relieve his boredom.

"Don't be careless." Raistlin said, "This group of Kou Tao murlocs is not simple, there are a lot of them, and there are at least two legends."

The faces of the teammates all became serious.

"Shall we make a detour?" Dawsons suggested.

Izzet replied: "I can't go around, they must have blocked the exit of this cave, even if I teleport across the river, I still have to fight them in the end."

"Then kill them all." Athena had already taken down her shield and long sword.

Raistlin had exactly that in mind.

The Kou Tao murloc is an out-and-out evil creature. Like most underground races, it is full of hatred and malice towards outsiders, and it is not a burden to kill them. The kuo-toa god they believe in is a very weak deity, few people know about it, and they are not afraid of revenge.

So many Kou Tao murlocs are full of electricity in his eyes.

Teammates quickly reached an agreement.

Then he continued to move forward as if he hadn't found anything. Raistlin rode on the Phantom Horse, holding the Endless Storm, and had already started casting spells.

As his spell quickly took shape, a red light rose from the top of the forest.

The air also gets hotter.

A few seconds later, the sky above the cave was covered by a layer of fire cloud, an unknown thick cloud of flame enveloped it, covering a radius of hundreds of meters, and the forest below was instantly ignited.

The river also began to boil.

The eight-ring spell - Burning Clouds!

boom!

The billowing flames fell, and the flames illuminated the entire cave. The river was churning, and gray-gray humanoid creatures emerged from the bottom.

They stand on two feet, are about 1.5 meters tall, have ugly fish heads, and their skin is covered with blue-gray fish scales. They hold all kinds of crude weapons, most of which are harpoons, as well as spears, shields, etc. He crawled out of the water and rushed towards the crowd.

Roughly counting, there are at least 500 Kou Tao Yuren, and the number is still increasing.

"There are so many!" Barack was taken aback.

The Kou Tao murlocs are the same as the many murlocs in Arranus. They have a characteristic that can be linked with the lives of the clansmen to increase their strength.

The greater the number, the stronger the strength improvement.

These Kou Tao murlocs originally only had elementary to middle-level strength, but when hundreds of murlocs gathered together and breathed together, the strength of all murlocs suddenly increased several times, and half of them reached high-level.

The three legendary Kou Tao murlocs in the lead have directly increased to the legendary middle rank.

Their bodies swelled to a height of three to four meters. A murloc priest holding a wooden staff and two murloc hunters charged at high speed with huge harpoons.

At the rear of the team, a large number of Kou Tao Yuren also appeared and surrounded the five of them.

Thousands of Kou Tao murlocs would almost surely die if they were exchanged for a Didi caravan or soul hunting team. When they first entered the upper layer of the Underdark, they encountered such a big scene, which made everyone truly see the danger of the underground world.

"Fight!" Izzet yelled.

Holding two huge war blades in his hand, he transformed into a tall demon with wings on his back, releasing vast power of evil energy.

The breath of the holy rank powerhouse frightened the Kou Tao fish people to run wildly.

The eyes of the three legendary kuo-tao murlocs were wide open, and they were making gurgling noises. Even if they couldn't understand them, they could still guess that they were yelling to retreat.

However, it is too late to retreat now.

The fiery cloud of flames had already descended, and immediately most of the Kuu-tao murlocs fell into the sea of ​​flames. Aquatic creatures are most afraid of flames, and so are the Kuu-tao murlocs.

In an instant, there were countless screams in the cave.

Hundreds of Kou Tao murlocs were burnt to pieces. The flames of the Burning Cloud Technique were like gangrene, which could not be extinguished when they touched the fish scales. The terrible high temperature instantly burned through the fish scales and skin. Shield is also a drop in the bucket.

In just a few breaths, most of the Kou Tao murlocs died and turned into ashes.

Even the forests along the river were burned to the ground.

In the front direction, only some Kou Tao murlocs who ran faster escaped the range of the Burning Cloud Technique, and those murlocs who jumped back into the river also failed to escape, but they were better than the ones on the ground. a whole body.

Boiled murloc corpses floated on the surface of the boiling river.

When Raistlin's burning cloud technique ended, he smelled a familiar aroma, and remembered a delicacy in his previous life: boiled live fish...

However, the battle has only just begun.

Athena and Izzet had already charged forward, chasing and killing the two legendary mid-level Kou Tao murloc hunters. Barac's two-handed bolter shot the enemies who survived the burning cloud technique one by one.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Kou Tao murloc priest was performing the water escape technique.

Raistlin's staff pointed at it, and a translucent anti-magic ray hit it, instantly breaking through the shield and interrupting the spell. Immediately after that, more than a dozen black chains appeared in the surrounding void, binding it tightly so that it could not move.

A group of Pyroblasts shot over.

Boom!

The sound of the explosion shook the entire cave, and the murloc priest Kou Tao had no bones left, and the dozen or so murlocs around him also suffered, being blown into countless pieces.

The two legendary murloc hunters were killed one step earlier.

In front of Athena and Izzet, they couldn't even withstand a single blow, and instantly turned into corpses.

Seeing this scene, the Kou Tao murlocs who surrounded from behind were all frightened out of their wits, turned around and fled. Raistlin controlled the phantom horse to turn around, and spears of light emerged one after another, and shot away in salvo, catching up with the enemy in an instant, piercing through the fleeing Kou Tao murlocs one by one like precision guidance.

Barack also turned the gun, and the bullets shot out like a storm.

Ten seconds later, the gunfire stopped.

More than a thousand Kou Tao Yuren were all killed. This is not a battle, but a one-sided massacre. Raistlin glanced at the phone interface, the battery had increased by more than three hundred bars.
