Chapter 0050: Journey Underground
In the dark and deep underground tunnel, there was silence.
There were no roads in the underground world, only the winding cracks in the rock layer and the waterways eroded by thousands of years of water. However, after countless generations of underground creatures, the large and small caves, caves, and caves were connected by long and short tunnels and tunnels, forming a three-dimensional passage in the underground world that is astonishing.
There will never be a straight road like the surface here. All the passages are cleverly opened along the cracks in the rock layer and along the old waterways, winding and twisting. Sometimes, the thick rock layer that is less than ten meters away from the next cave can only be reached by winding back and forth in the dark passage for more than ten miles.
There are countless stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, and there are also some tooth-like protrusions on the ground. Water drops drip from the rocks, and the ground they pass through is covered with slippery lichens.
To be honest, walking in such a closed and quiet environment can easily give people a terrifying feeling that they will be crushed to death by the hundreds of tons of soil and rocks above their heads in the next moment.
Grimm and his group of ten people held torches, lined up in a long line, and walked slowly and arduously in the underground passage.
The light of the torches could only illuminate a narrow area of less than 5 meters, and the hidden cracks on the cave wall blew out gusts of cold wind. The torches flickered, casting their shadows on the stone wall on one side, becoming fangs and claws, like twisted demons.
Although they tried their best to keep silent while walking, the rustling footsteps and the sound of their bodies rubbing against the cave wall were all heard far away in the deep and dark tunnel. This would bring a lot of unexpected dangers to their subsequent journey.
After walking for 3 hours in a row, everyone finally arrived at the first stop on the patrol route.
Seriously speaking, the previous 3 hours of journey was just a small trial before they entered the dark cave. From here on, it was the real purpose of their exploration and patrol mission.
"Okay, now that we're here, it's time for us to separate. Everyone, try to complete the task quickly, and then return here to gather. I hope you have a smooth journey!" Sabrina's crisp voice also sounded muffled in this stuffy cave.
Ten wizard apprentices, five teams, rushed to different areas to complete their tasks. The deepest mission point underground was the responsibility of Sabrina and Sheila's team. Of course, everyone had no objection to her taking the initiative to take on this most dangerous task, so they tacitly accepted her leadership.
As for Mary and Grimm's group, although everyone was resentful, they could only assign them the simplest task by comparison. After all, this time they were hurt by the momentary pleasure, and the next time the team would only have eight people to do the work of ten people.
Everyone wore thick black cloth robes, covering all their skin to avoid exposing their breath and body temperature to the eyes of underground creatures with infrared vision. After whispering a few blessings to each other, the five teams sank into the darkness outside the cave and ran towards different goals.
After parting ways, Grimm stopped walking along the deep and dark passage in front of him for less than half a quarter of an hour.
He listened carefully, but could no longer hear any movement in the distance, so Grimm extinguished the torch in his hand. When the last ray of light disappeared in the shadow, a hazy and fantastic world appeared in front of Grimm.
The fluorescent moss growing on the walls of the cave emitted a faint cold light in the deep darkness, and in Grimm's eyes, which temporarily had a glimmer of vision, a completely different and strange scene was outlined. Against the backdrop of weak light, the darkness slowly faded, replaced by a green and magical world.
The gloomy and cold rock cave walls were black, and the area where the water flow gathered was gray. In Grimm's strange vision, apart from large areas of green light, there were large areas of gray and black. However, in the dark corners far away from the cave wall, one or two strange crawling red dots could be vaguely seen.
The red dots indicate the leaked life energy.
Judging from the size of the red dot, it should be a small creature like a rock scorpion or a gecko.
Grimm tilted his head and looked. Mary in red was still wearing the bright red gauze dress, with a large area of white skin exposed. But the strange thing was that even though Grimm was only 3 steps away from her, he could not detect the temperature unique to life species. If he relied on infrared vision alone, Mary would probably be no different from a human-shaped stalagmite in his eyes.
Okay, okay, the means of vampires are really unpredictable.
With infrared vision, the concealment of life breath, and super high agility, this deep and dark underground world is really more suitable for agile killers like them.
Grimm pulled his hood, took the lead and walked in front, and started his journey along the rugged road that twisted downward.
Their mission point is near an underground pool 7 miles away. They may pass two or three underground creature habitats along the way, but the threat is not great. As long as they are careful, there will be no problem in passing without damage.
…………
Although they possess powerful witchcraft abilities, in this dangerous underground world, even Mary, who is a senior apprentice, is just a toddler.
Grimm, who thought he was well prepared, encountered his first ambush in the underground world before he walked 100 meters.
Yes, it was an ambush!
A rock python curled up in the crack of the rock wall and suddenly jumped out of it when Grimm passed by, biting his neck with its smelly and ferocious fangs without hesitation.
It's too late to guard against it. It's really too late to guard against it.
The cold rock wall blocked the rock python's weak breath of life. When Greem saw a red dot suddenly expand in front of his eyes, the venom-filled fangs of the rock python were also very close to him.
If Greem had more than 10 points of agility, he might still be able to react, but 4 points of agility severely limited his instinctive reactions. He could only close his eyes in horror and wait for the fierce bite.
A rock python wouldn't be able to bite him to death, but the pain on his flesh and skin would be inevitable.
Bah...
A sharp sound of breaking wind sounded in his ears, and Mary, who was clearly behind him, appeared in front of him the next second. Pointing her finger like a knife, the sound of squeaking and breaking was heard endlessly, and the rock python was chopped into seven pieces by her in an instant.
A foul smell of blood began to fill the passage.
Greem took a few deep breaths to calm down his beating heartbeat, and he broke out in a cold sweat. These damn underground creatures are so good at picking places to ambush!
Although there was no light in the passage, Greem's cheeks felt vaguely feverish.
It’s a big deal, it’s a big deal! Theoretical knowledge is theoretical knowledge. I think I have so many skills and experiences for travel and adventure stored in my mind, but there are still so many unexpected traps in real life.
After this twists and turns, the two people's positions changed.
Mary, dressed in red, walked lightly and silently in front, and any underground creature that burst out from hiding could not escape her sharp nails that were as sharp as magic weapons. Even if it's a close attack, she can rely on her super agility to strike first and cut the enemy into several pieces.
Therefore, in just one hour, eleven underground creatures had already died under her hands.
Faintly, Greem could hear the distant roars of creatures fighting for food in the passage behind him. It seemed that a small war was inevitable. In the underground world, making unnecessary noises or having wounds on your body are taboos, as they can easily attract larger and more ferocious underground creatures.
Although Mary and Grim were not afraid of such small characters due to their strength, it would bring unnecessary trouble to their schedule.
The first real trouble occurred seven hours after they entered the underground. A group of 11 Terrorclaws attacked them.
This kind of dinoclaw, which is widely distributed underground, looks like a small dinosaur covered in biological scales. It is only 2 meters tall when it stands upright. Although they are not huge in size, they have thick bones and dense scales on their bodies. Their huge mouths are filled with two rows of thick, sharp fangs that shine with cold light. Their sticky saliva is constantly dripping, and they look like they want to feast.
They did not choose to sneak attack like those small underground creatures, but waited for Greem and the two to enter their encirclement before walking out of the darkness with steady steps. Before seeing their bodies, Greem first saw a pair of hazy khaki eyes.
Such hard-skinned monsters are difficult to deal with, at least Mary's sharp claws can hardly break through their dense scales. Mary's attack would not cause any damage to the armpits, eye sockets, and crevices of the head and neck, which were weakly defended vital points. But the pair of slender and sharp upper limbs on their chests could cause horrific harm to her.
If coupled with the collision force brought by the heavy body and the unique paralysis and slowing effect of earth monsters, it would be difficult for ordinary wizard apprentices to escape unscathed in such a small area.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Greem took out two summoning crystal cores and threw them onto the nearby soil.
Although most of the underground passages are dug into hard rock walls, and hard rock layers are used to prevent the tunnels from collapsing, soil and sand can still be found everywhere, so there is no shortage of shaping materials for Grim's soil golem.
A silent roar sounded, and the Demon Crocodile Hunter slowly emerged beside Greem.
"Hey, good boy, you actually have something hidden!" Mary's voice in red rang out in the darkness.
With Mary's 17 points of agility, it was easy to get rid of the Terrorclaw. If it weren't for Greem's "drag", Mary would only need 5 seconds to pass through the opponent's extremely crude encirclement.
After a few random attacks on the side of several Direclaw monsters without any success, Mary could only give up the attempt and slipped back to Grim's side to carefully examine this novel puppet.
This... seems a little different from what I saw last time! Could this mud crocodile be his newly acquired puppet after killing the swamp giant crocodile queen? It seems that this kid is not as weak as he thought!
With endless questions, Mary watched Grim step up to the back of the Mud Crocodile and sit down. Then, with a slight rumbling tremor, the Mud Crocodile twisted its huge body and crushed the surrounding Terrorclaw monster. Pressed over.
