Chapter 1618 Deep Cave

The Subia Demon Kingdom itself was supported by the Seven Apostles, and the royal family certainly felt a sense of crisis about this, but the royal family at that time certainly did not expect that their country was not abandoned by the Seven Apostles, but was beaten to this extent.

And the very black humor is that the last fortress of the Seven Apostles is now only the Subia Demon Kingdom.

Aoerdai and the others quickly checked the room and confirmed that there was nothing missing before retreating.

Although the temple itself was closed with a secret door, it was just like asking a true god to help guard it. There was no treasure worth looting, and there was no record of the Seven Apostles. Aoerdai and the others needed to continue to move deeper.

Everyone returned to the right angle intersection.

Going deeper from here, the most troublesome place is indeed the trap.

But it is just a trouble, not a difficulty.

The builder here is an elf wizard. No matter how proficient he is in setting up mechanisms, the traps are still not comparable to those of the dwarves. Compared with the dwarf traps on the road when they went to find the Demon King's Ring last time, they are much easier to deal with.

The most important thing to worry about is the magic traps, and this part is perfectly controlled by Aoerdai.

The most important thing is that no one suddenly jumped out to make trouble this time.

Last time, he was chased by the Wild Wolf Mercenaries, chopped by the Drow, and there were those guys like the Glow Ion Hermitage who were not in the right style.

And this time there is only one entrance, and it is not a demiplane, it is just underground. It should, probably, maybe, not encounter any damn guys... right?

In short, all the traps on the road were dismantled by Aoerdai and Nimia, and they almost pushed all the way through. The speed was not fast, but there was no danger.

And although it is easier for mages to dig underground palaces, the scale cannot be as large as that of dwarves. On the one hand, mages do not need such a large area. A bedroom, magic laboratory, study, warehouse and other rooms are enough. At most, a maze is added to block invaders.

And dwarves are likely to dig out an underground city.

So Aoerdai estimated that at most it would take five or six hours to find information about the Subia royal family, and then return the same way.

This optimistic estimate soon vanished.

The deeper they went, the more subtle the sound of flowing water could be heard, and later the sound was so clear that it seemed like they were standing by the river.

At this time, the three of them came to the end of the corridor. They saw a stream flowing in the cave. The water flow was not too fast. The source came from the spring on the right rock wall, but the stream was obviously flowing to the bottomless cave on the left, and they also saw three boats at the end of the passage.

Now, how big the underground palace is, it is hard to say...

–--——---——

The underground palace originally excavated by the mage could not be too big, but if the mage used the existing underground cave to expand it, then how big this place is, there is no prediction at all.

Of course, since we are here, we still have to get on the boat and go deeper, otherwise it will be a waste of effort.

They picked a boat that looked the best. When the three of them sat down, the extinguished lantern on the bow suddenly lit up, and the boat shook. The boat untied the rope and moved along the underground river.

"This boat was enchanted. It was a very delicate spell. It was obvious that it was the work of the elves."

Auerdai was studying the enchantment on the boat. The other two did not dare to be careless. They held their weapons tightly and looked at the deep and dark stalactite cave in front of the bow.

The bull's eye lantern hanging on the bow emitted an orange light, which really looked like the lantern was lit. The aperture could illuminate the area about ten meters in front.

Stalactites and stalagmites appeared from the darkness one after another. In addition to the sound of flowing water, the sound of bats chirping and flying in the distance seemed to be heard.

"The cave may lead to the outside, which is not good news."

The so-called outside does not necessarily have to be the surface, but may also lead to a deeper underground.

There are also many creatures living deep underground, but their appearance and temper are far inferior to those on the surface, and each of them is extremely dangerous.

After listening to Aurdai's words, Nimia felt that it was not safe enough to rely on only a short sword in her hand. She took out a pack of "sneezing powder" from her waist bag. If a monster jumped out, she would hit it in the face first, making it cry.

The boat would not think about anything like everyone else, and moved along the water flow on its own. After about a minute or two, Zora found that there seemed to be a layer of light mist floating on the water surface under the boat.

At first, it was only looming and inconspicuous, but soon the concentration of the mist increased rapidly as it continued to go deeper. It soon became so thick that people could not see the water surface at all. The three felt like they were drifting in the clouds.

These mists were very abnormal. They would only move along the water surface and the surrounding rock walls, as if there was a force that made them stick to the surroundings.

"The negative energy here has increased, let's light up our lights."

Zora and Nimia followed suit and relit the torches, one inserted into the bow and the other held up by Zora.

At this time, the fog was so thick that everyone could not see the front clearly. Only when they were very close could they vaguely see the dark rocks behind the fog, as if they were sitting in a boat and entering the bloody mouth of a monster.

The three of them felt uncomfortable almost at the same time. A vague chill was like an invisible insect drilling into every pore on their bodies, bringing a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

This is a very obvious characteristic of excessive negative energy.

Continuing to go deeper, after a few more minutes, the negative energy was already so high that Zola had to use the spell of 'joint protection from evil' to resist it. If you stay in this environment for a while longer, you will get a serious illness at least, or you will suffer permanent consequences at worst. Sexual sequelae.

At this time, the bull's-eye lantern hanging on the bow of the ship flickered twice, and the light disappeared as if there was a sudden poor contact.

"Don't panic. The negative energy concentration is too high and interferes with the lighting. The ship itself will not be affected."

Aldai had expected that something like this would happen, so she lit the torch in advance.

Without the protection of the orange light, only the swaying torches were left, which made the surroundings look even more terrifying. The stalactites and stalagmites swayed into elongated shadows in the firelight, as if they were twisting or twisting.

Nemea opened her eyes wide, trying to see clearly what was in front of her. As a tiefling, she had dark vision and could see clearly in the darkness.

But dark vision also has a visual limit, and it cannot see too far.

A cloud of mist suddenly rose. Nemea noticed it and immediately turned around, grabbing the dagger.

The dense fog seemed to be roaring and deforming, constantly making silent roars, and finally the distorted outline turned into painful human faces.

"It's just a little resentment. It's very common in negative energy environments. Although it's okay to leave it alone, as long as you hit it with a torch, it will disappear."

Aldai remained as calm as ever.
