Chapter 123: First Exploration of the Dark Region

The six-member team of Eden passed through the winding passage and arrived at the underground more than 40 meters deep.

"Captain, that should be the teleportation array." A team member pointed to the teleportation array emitting dim light in the distance and said.

"Let's check the equipment for the last time. No one knows what will happen next. We can only rely on ourselves."

Eden stopped and said solemnly to his team members.

Everyone nodded heavily, wrapped their faces with cotton cloth, leaving only the eyes, and then applied deodorant potion on their cotton clothes, pulled out the dagger assigned to them by the lord before leaving, and held it tightly in their hands.

Seeing that his team members were ready, Eden stepped forward and turned a device that looked like a button next to him.

The next moment, the teleportation array started, emitting brilliant light.

"Let's go."

Eden was the first to enter the teleportation area, and the other five followed closely.

Three minutes later, the micro teleportation array closed and entered a silent state, waiting for the next opening.

...

Dim, depression, and fear were their first impressions of the dark area.

Although there were unknown glowing mushrooms around to provide weak lighting, the six people coming from the surface could only barely see the road clearly.

"Half, Kuru, the two of you stay here to guard the teleportation array and pick us up at any time."

"Yes, captain." The two bronze low-level warriors nodded and took on the task.

They were the weakest in the six-man team, and staying to guard here was the best choice.

Then, the other three followed Eden and carefully entered the narrow and dark passage, officially starting to explore the dark area.

With every step forward, Eden would always pay attention to the surroundings to see if there would be any aliens, monsters or other creatures suddenly appearing.

Suddenly, Eden found that there was a tree root blocking the front, gestured to let his team members stop, slowly crawled to the entrance of the cave, and found that there was a large cave outside, and a battle was taking place at this moment.

"Crack"

A big snake bit off half of the gray dwarf's body and swallowed it into its stomach.

A tall gray dwarf pointed at the big snake and cursed, bursting out incomprehensible words from his mouth, while waving a whip to drive his subordinates to attack.

"*****"

"Hissing"

"Puff"

A long spear pierced through the scales of the big snake and stabbed into its body fiercely.

"S——"

The next moment, several gray dwarves were swept away by the tail of the big snake and fell heavily into the rocks, and their lives were unknown.

"***"

The following battle was unexpected. The big snake dragged its seriously injured body and tried its best to kill all the remaining dozen gray dwarves, and finally fell more than ten meters away from the cave entrance.

Eden looked at the monster with a hideous face, holding his breath and concentrating, and continued to lie at the entrance of the cave, using the tiny gap of the cover to observe the situation outside, and did not dare to act rashly.

He didn't know whether the big snake outside was pretending to be dead, or whether those gray dwarves would have reinforcements coming.

Sure enough, every few minutes, several gray dwarves drove hundreds of goblins to this place, collected the bodies of their companions, and carried the body of the big snake back to their tribe.

Just when Eden thought that the group was about to leave, several big spiders suddenly rushed out and killed the gray dwarves in a few seconds. The remaining goblins lost their masters and fled quickly.

Unexpectedly, the final winners were these big spiders.

After eating and drinking, the big spiders quietly hid in the surroundings and ambushed, waiting for the next wave of prey to appear.

Seeing this, Eden could only wave his hands to let his subordinates retreat and explore another branch of the road they came from.

In order to avoid being discovered by the underground natives, several people could only rely on text to communicate.

"The situation is very dangerous. With our strength, I am afraid that we can only explore a few passages around us at most." Eden wrote down what he wanted to express on paper and described it to the others.

Seeing this, the three nodded and agreed.

Even if they didn't directly observe the battlefield just now, hearing all kinds of movements and sounds was enough to make people shudder.

After all, this is not the ground, the visible range is large, and some dangers can be predicted in advance.

In the unknown depth of the underground, every step you take may be ambushed by enemies, and these are still unobservable.

After the four people reached a consensus, they returned to the nearest branch and continued to explore.

In the next six days, the four people explored the passages leading to other caves starting from the teleportation array.

Perhaps because the goblins did things closely before, these passages were covered at the end to avoid being discovered by other creatures.

In this short period of time, Eden and the other four found no less than ten battles. In addition to the gray dwarves, goblins, gnomes and dark elves, which were famous on the ground before they set off, there were more monsters that they had never seen before.

The closest they came, they were almost discovered by a group of dark elves. If they hadn't been covered with deodorant potion and taken Green Turtle potion in advance, a potion that can reduce vitality to the lowest level, as long as they were motionless, they would look like dead things to others.

Near the teleportation array, the six people sealed the cave entrance, lit torches, and began to summarize the reconnaissance situation.

Seeing the long-lost light, the vanguard team was so fascinated.

Things that are usually within reach are so luxurious in this bottomless underground.

"Starting from the teleportation formation, there are a total of five main passages, and each passage has three to six branch roads. There are a total of twenty-one roads, and six of them are blocked by rolling mud and rocks. This way There are only fifteen passages left. These fifteen passages lead to fifteen underground caves."

"Of these fifteen passages, the shortest is passage No. 6, which is more than a thousand meters long. The longest one is passage No. 13, which is six kilometers long."

"Among them, Cave No. 9, which we named Passage No. 9, leads to, is the most dangerous."

Eden thought of the dark elf so close at hand and couldn't help but feel happy, otherwise they would have to be found in that hellish place.

"Captain, do you still want to explore next?" a team member asked.

Eden looked around, the other five people were waiting for their decision.

In his heart, he really wanted to capture an underground creature and bring it back to the surface for interrogation and obtain more information.

But once it is discovered, this teleportation array will definitely be known to the other party, and it may directly fall into someone else's pot next time.

After some decisions, Eden said in a deep voice: "This mission is over. We are too weak. If we explore further and accidentally fall into the hands of the underground natives, it is inevitable that the other party does not have an evil mage who is proficient in soul interrogation. We cannot because of our Action led to the discovery of this teleportation array."

The other five people were obviously relieved when they heard this.

Afterwards, Eden activated the teleportation array, and six people entered it one after another, ending their trip to the Underdark.
