Chapter 590 Induction (Part 2)

kilometers below the surface. It was pitch black.

The tunnel was as silent as the tomb, and the darkness was terrifying.

The lighting stick illuminates an area of ​​60 to 10 meters around, and it can be seen that this is a team of about 30 people.

In the light, lichens, fungi, and moss can be seen growing in the tunnels, which glow dimly in the sun, but carrying light sources in the Underdark is very dangerous. In large caves, sun sticks and torches can be used from a long distance. The place is scouted, which means that nearby creatures have ample time to decide whether to avoid these surface dwellers or to ambush them.

After walking for ten minutes in a narrow corridor, the pressure on my body lightened.

Rolek passed through the barrier and looked around. There was darkness in front of him, and the team of elves behind him.

Rollek crossed another place, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

"It's really a dark and endless existence!" Rollek's pupils shrank.

This is the underground sea.

The underground sea is different from the sea on the surface, but at first glance, it is vast, distant, and deep, just like the sea at night. Stretches for dozens of miles.

And around, there are countless vaults.

"Your Excellency Rolek, there is an underground sea here, which is obviously a very suitable territory, because it has enough space and resources to maintain a huge jungle of fungi, moss and other strange plants." A female voice said: "And, here Although sea water is not fresh water, it can be purified, and a large number of fish and shrimps are bred in it."

"Yes, Miss Aiweixi, it seems that this is probably one of the residences of the earth elves?" Rollek said.

"It is possible that the dozens of underground exploration teams sent by our lord are all very likely to have the residences of the earth elves. This is based on the induction of the elves." Ai Weixi said: "However, we now, Let's find a suitable place to camp first! You have night vision, so check it out for us first."

Rolek nodded silently. After he became a dark mage, he gained the power of night vision. Now he walked carefully along the downward slope.

Danger? Of course there are dangers, but since you are a subordinate, there are always dangers, as long as you don't die.

After bypassing a lying boulder, Rolek made a discovery under his night vision.

On the ground on either side of the mouth of the valley,

Several rough spears were inserted respectively, and a skeleton was strung on each of them.

Rollek immediately became cautious. As he sank into the shadows around him, a muffled incantation sounded.

1st-Level Spell: Invisible Servant

Summoning invisible power (similar to ghosts) is very fast. Although the summoning time is not long, only a few minutes, but through the sharing of arcane vision, it can let it explore a considerable area.

Only in the air, an invisible force suddenly appeared, and it began to float forward, watching the surrounding area with the eyes of arcana.

It was only a little deeper, and the invisible servant heard more and more clearly the sound of footsteps. After a while, a group of humanoid creatures came out of a hole.

"It turned out to be orcs!" Rolake saw the appearance of this group of creatures clearly through the invisible servant.

In areas notified by humans, foreigners are actually rare, not to mention elves, dwarves are rare, and orcs are basically only found in barbaric areas.

These orcs were said to have bred on the ground before, but they were driven out of the Underdark by the humans led by the Lord of Radiance, so they settled in caves. Caverns near the surface not only provide shade from the nasty sun, but also can be extremely defensible with simple work, so most orcs are more than happy to take advantage of these.

Rollek immediately hid himself in a darker corner and observed the group of orcs.

Among this group of orcs, half were tauren, and some were bearmen. They were equipped with equipment. Although they were not exquisite, they also represented civilization.

"Damn it! It looks like it's an area where orcs are concentrated, so it's not easy to deal with!" Rolek couldn't help cursing secretly, and a few minutes later, the invisible servant collapsed.

What shocked Rolek the most was that this insignificant fluctuation suddenly caught the attention of a tauren. It raised its head and glanced at it a few times.

However, nothing was noticed, and after waiting for half an hour, the orcs left.

Taking a deep look, Rolek waited for a while before leaving and returned to the original place.

"Rolek, why have you been here for so long, did you find anything?" Aiweixi whispered.

"Yes, I found a group of orcs, half of them were bear men, half of them were tauren, they were all powerful fighters, by the way, there seemed to be priests inside." Rolek did not hide anything, and explained them one by one.

Although the other elves didn't know the common language of humans, they didn't have much communication with him, and they looked at him coldly, but Rolek still reported quite seriously.

Now, in the human world, Rolek can't get along, if he loses the protection of the elves, then...

"Hmm! It is very likely that there are sacrifices. It is said that the orcs also have their own gods. Although it is said that the power is not strong, they are also gods!"

"Master Aiweixi, can you say more? We can act better only if we know the details."

"Yes, it is said that orcs and humans were born at about the same time, and it has been nearly 10,000 years now. However, due to the generally low intelligence of orcs and the tribal system, it is impossible to concentrate large-scale beliefs, so until now, it is said that there are only three. God, the power is not very strong!" Speaking of this. Avisi took out a holy emblem and prayed for a moment, a small halo appeared on the holy emblem.

"That's all right now, otherwise you will be felt when you mention their names. These three gods are the main god of the orcs, Eddiso, a god who controls the strength of the orcs."

"Secondly there is Puult, the orc god of war, in charge of war and conquest."

"The last is the god of death of the orcs. As you can see, these gods do not control life and creation, but win with power and conquest. This is also the characteristic of orcs!"

"Understood, but even so, the gods are still gods. If the orcs settled here, the spirits of the land should not be here?" Rolek thought for a while and asked.

Ai Weixi's eyelids twitched, and said: "Not necessarily, but it is said that the elves of the earth have also developed a lot of power underground, and..."

Speaking of this, it is hard to grind my teeth: "And it is said that it secretly colluded with some demon lords. In fact, there are still legends of believing in demon gods. Maybe they can still survive here."

"No matter what, since we came here for our lord, we must explore clearly. If there are spirits of the earth, we just need to report to our lord. Our lord will give instructions on how to deal with it."

Rollek smiled wryly, but didn't speak.

"The most urgent thing now is to find a place to camp." Ai Weixi said again.

"This is easy. There are tens of thousands of nearby caves, and most of them have no traces of activity. There are only thirty of us. It is not difficult to cover up the traces. I will send my magic pet to look for it." Rollek said, his magic pet Beloved is a black spider: "It's better to be an abandoned camp before. In this case, there are no people and it's convenient."

As he said that, he directed the magic pet into the darkness.

Half an hour later, a camp that met the requirements was discovered, with a target. They continued to move forward, advancing cautiously, and only entered here for half an hour.

This is indeed a ruined camp. There are dust, gravel and messy things in the cave, and there are some creatures in it. However, the tunnel is still tall and spacious, and there is no obstacle.

The elf's footsteps, although slight, can still be heard far away, forming a hollow echo.

"Miss Avesy, it's hard to hide voices in this kind of cave environment, so a sneak attack is unlikely." Rolek said dutifully, this was not only for the team, but also for himself, he didn't want to perform a mission that must kill him.

"Well, I see."

There are many water seepage places in this tunnel.

In a quiet environment, the clear sound of dripping water from the shadows from time to time makes people feel scalp tingling even more, but in fact this is a good thing, the water is fresh water that can be drunk directly.

"The moisture in the underground sea will condense on the walls of the surrounding caves, so if there are few of us, this kind of water alone will be enough, and there is no need to spend energy to purify the seawater." Rollek continued.

Walk forward for a while. Suddenly, a foul smell came out of his nostrils.

"Attention everyone, this is the smell of corpses." Rollek said.

The lighting stick illuminated the surrounding area, revealing the original living area of ​​the orcs. The rancid smell in the air became more intense, and it could be seen that many bones were thrown on the ground in a mess.

Rats, scorpions and snakes can also be seen from time to time.

"Why are there so many skeletons here!" Ai Weixi frowned.

"It's food. Look, there are signs of gnawing on the bones. This should have been the living quarters of orcs. Everyone knows that orcs don't pay attention to cleanliness." Rollek said, "I just don't know why, but this place was abandoned. gone."

Sure enough, after a few more steps, I saw a few utensils placed among them. Their shapes were very unique, obviously they were originally pottery made by orcs.

"Clean them up!" Ai Weixi gave orders to the elves, this point does not need Rolek, anyway, Rolek is a mage at level 5 to level 6, and should be respected.

Immediately, the order was carried out.

After a while, the camp was basically cleaned up, and all the bones were removed to an area outside. The whole team camped in an area inside. At this time, the enemy's situation was still unknown, so they did not dare to light the bonfire, so they could only sit quietly in the clear water I ate some dry food.

"Tonight, let's rest for the night. Starting tomorrow, we will explore the surrounding area in a planned way. The deadline is half a month. If we can't find any traces of the earth elves, we will retreat." Ai Weixi finally gave orders .

Half a month?

Rolek breathed a sigh of relief, this time is not too long, I hope that at this time, the exploration of the spirits of the land will go well!

However, even Rolek understands that with the concentration of the sea elves, the fire elves are restrained by the queen for the time being, so the next move is of course to find the earth elves and the wind (wing) elves.

From the perspective of planning, time is still very urgent. (!)
