When Jianxiu came to the Western Fantasy Continent

Although Sharn said that the crypt was nearby, they still walked for a long time.Leaving the mushroom man's lair, the tunnel became narrow again, most of it was completely dark, and some areas were illuminated by exposed minerals or shimmering plants, but these did not ease the danger of the road, they seemed to be engaged in an endless battle. Restless climbing, cliffs, crevices and ditches are common terrain, and tunnels that can be called roads are pitifully rare.

Hong Ming has gradually gotten used to this kind of underground world. However, even as a cultivator, he was a little tired after walking in such a continuous underground for so long. Like wandering in the hall, the movements are skillful and fast.After some time, he finally stopped.

"We have arrived."

Hong Ming stopped and looked at the scenery in front of him.This is a cave with a side opening, not too big, probably only enough for two people to lie horizontally.There was a little glimmer of light on the top of the cave, like the remnants of some kind of mineral. There was no water or plants, only hard stones.

"This is an underground gnome mine. It has been abandoned for hundreds of years. The nearest water source is five miles away, and there is nothing to hunt. It is a very safe refuge." Saying, Sarn slumped into the hole. , "We can take a break here, the next part of the road is a bit rough."

What does this "difficult and dangerous" mean? Hong Ming didn't want to go into details any more. He also strolled into the cave, looked around, and sat down at a corner near the rock wall. Even so, his knee touched Saen's thigh, The cave is simply too small.

Sarn had already opened the dimensional bag at this time, took out a few pieces of dry food and chewed, and handed Hong Ming a water bag, "Drink some first, and you can fill it up when you pass the dark river. In the middle of the dark area, I want to find It’s much harder to get clean water.”

Hong Ming took the water bag, hesitated for a moment, finally held it to his lips, and took a sip.It was sweeter and clearer than he had imagined. Only then did Hong Ming realize that he might be really tired. These small appetites could comfort him, but the exhaustion was not due to the long journey, but the darkness and darkness. The cold silence made him unable to adapt.

After silently drinking two sips of water, Hong Ming handed back the water bag and watched the ferocious whale drink the whole bag of water.The speed at which Sarn ate underground was astonishingly fast, as if he was competing for time, and he ate all the dry food on hand in just a few minutes.

After wiping his mouth, Saen hung the empty water bag on his waist and cleaned up the food residue on the ground. When he looked up, he couldn't help being startled, and saw Hong Ming staring at him blankly, wondering what he was thinking.He grinned, and sent a voice transmission, "Think I'm eating a little fast? It's best not to spend too much time eating underground, the smell of food is likely to attract other predators."

Hong Ming shook his head, "It's not this, it's just...you are too familiar with this place."

"Of course. Even with a map to guide you, it's not easy to get from the middle to the upper layer of the Underdark. I've been here for quite a while."

"Like the month when I crawled out of the mushroom man's lair?"

"Yeah, like that month."

Hong Ming was dumbfounded for a while, and finally asked, "How long have you been in the Underdark?"

"About ten years..." Sarn leaned against the rock wall behind and lowered his eyes, "After leaving the city of Bramodia, I wandered underground for a long time, so long that I almost lost the concept of time ...Fortunately, I found that map, and it took me out of this world."

Even though he was prepared, Hong Ming was still taken aback by the answer, and a chill came to his heart. In such a dark and dangerous place, he has survived alone for ten years... He suddenly felt that he couldn't continue asking.The pain this man has experienced is unbearable for ordinary people, but for the dark elves, the surface world is also unfriendly, why would he...

With a flash of inspiration, Hong Ming suddenly thought of what Fungus had said before, "Spider Goddess will not let go of defecting to drow...Is it because of this?"

"Of course, not." Under the illumination of fluorescent light, Hong Ming saw a wry smile on the corner of Sarn's lips, "The souls of the dead will return to the gods they believed in, no matter when and where, especially for evil gods .After I die, I will always return to the embrace of the Spider Queen and enjoy her endless torture, but it will be a little faster in the Underdark."

"Then don't you..." Hong Ming was speechless again. If the spirit and soul could not escape, didn't he sign the death contract at the moment he chose to defect?He had said that he had come to the surface to escape his race, but he had never said how much it had cost him, almost forever.But now, in order to help me, he has re-entered this dangerous land, his hometown of pain and despair...

"Don't worry." A voice interrupted Hong Ming's messy thoughts, "It's worth it."

Hong Ming raised his head in a daze, and met Saen's eyes. In those almond eyes, the red eyes were clear and bright, as flawless as the three lights in his heart.He didn't lie, whether it was the eyes or the throbbing from the bottom of his heart.Hong Ming felt a choke in his throat, as if he understood something.

Sarn turned his gaze away, "Do you need to meditate to replenish your strength?"

"Not yet..."

"That's great, I guess I'm going to sleep for a while, and the guards will ask you first."

Hong Ming was stunned, and suddenly realized that they had trekked in this dark region for more than two days, and even they felt exhausted, and it would not be easy for Sarn.Nodding without hesitation, he replied, "I'm here, don't worry."

There was a slight smile at the corner of Sarn's mouth, he relaxed his body and slid off the rock wall to the ground, closing his eyes.This cave is really pitifully small, even though the dark elf curled up his body, his head still fell on Hong Ming's knee, and his warm breath gently brushed the corner of his robe, bringing a moist touch.The silver eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings for a moment, and finally returned to tranquility.

He fell asleep.Hong Ming looked at the sleeping dark elf beside his lap, feeling dazed for a while.This person's face is still very young, and he was mistaken for a teenager when we met for the first time, but he is over 200 years old, and he has survived in this terrifying underground world for such a long time, but he has not been assimilated or changed by it. His mind is never naive, even sophisticated and cunning, but his will is tougher and fearless than he imagined.Such a man is willing to walk side by side with him, willing to go through danger for him, and willing to trust him completely, and fall into a deep sleep in front of him without any scruples.

Hong Ming's fingertips moved lightly. For a moment, he really wanted to touch the other person's sleeping face, and wanted to see him open his eyes because of his touch... He closed his eyes violently, and Hong Ming squeezed his palm tightly to control this impulse.Looking up and looking around, the two of them were firmly surrounded by the low cave. In this boundless dark world, he had already lost most of his advantages as a monk. Deprivation is like a lonely boat floating and helpless.But at this moment, the discomfort caused by the darkness was slowly dissipating, and only the steady heartbeat was left in his ears, the slow and steady beating, blending with his own heartbeat.

Hong Ming closed his eyes, relaxed his mind, felt everything around him, and was alert to those things that might bring danger.He will do everything to protect this person, so that he will no longer suffer from all the sufferings that the underground world bestows on him.If possible, he will also save his soul, let him completely get rid of the control of that evil god, and regain his freedom.

Under the illumination of the fluorescent light of the ore, the two of them entered this small cave, their clothes were connected, and their hearts were shared, as if they were isolated from this terrifying silence and darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Hong Ming was startled suddenly and opened his eyes suddenly. A piercing commotion was coming from his ears. It seemed to be far away, but it was so loud that it was undeniable.

"Sarn!"

"I heard."

Almost at the same time, San turned over from the ground and sat up. "It's a petrified lizard, there seems to be more than one. Get out of here!"

Hong Ming's heart tightened. He had heard Saen introduce the habits of petrified lizards in detail. As a ferocious beast that can run amok in the dark area, this kind of monster is really frightening. It's a trivial matter to spit poisonous mist and have a body as strong as a stone. , just one glance can turn the prey it is looking at into a stone statue, this is the most dangerous part of this kind of monster.

Drilling out of the cave without hesitation, the two looked into the tunnel at the same time, and saw in the cave in the distance, two beasts with a length of more than ten feet and teeth like sword forests fighting desperately, the cave trembled under their collision, Large chunks of rock fell off with the vibrations.A cloud of green mist shrouded the cave, making the figures of the two giant beasts looming.

"No, it's two lizard kings fighting for territory." Sarn's face changed color, "The cave will collapse if we continue to fight, and the way forward will be blocked."

"Do you want to stop them?" Hong Ming drew out the long sword wrapped in black cloth behind him.

Seeing the crumbling stalagmites in the eye cave, Sarn gritted his teeth, "Be careful of their sight, I will be there to support you."

Hong Ming nodded slightly, moved Yubu with his feet, pinched his hand, a gust of wind swept to the bottom of the cave, and blew away the green mist in the sky. The two petrified lizards felt the magic wave, and they both looked up without caring about their private fight. Looking towards the zenith, he wanted to kill potential enemies with his sight, but a golden light had already fallen in response, piercing through the neck of a giant beast, nailing it to the bottom of the cave, and another petrified lizard was completely crushed. Enraged, he strode forward with eight heads and ran wildly. Two lines of sight that seemed to be real were cast to the sword light. Unexpectedly, a mass of darkness was in front of him, covering its eyes. Even a petrified lizard with a low IQ The tall creature also knew that it had encountered a dark barrier. It turned around suddenly, trying to get out of the way, but the cold long sword cut through the back of its head and went straight through its throat. The petrified lizard let out a dying cry , the huge body could no longer be controlled, and it crashed into the stalagmite beside the cave. The stalagmite made a soft creak and began to collapse...

Sarn's pupils shrunk to the smallest, "No, the hole is about to collapse."

Following this sound, he only felt a tightness around his waist, and an arm wrapped around his body.

"Close your eyes."

That clear voice rang in his ears, Sarn felt his heart tremble, and he closed his eyes tightly, the gust of wind whizzed in his ears, and the sky full of stone chips rushed towards him, hitting the protective layer with a soft popping sound, as if only After a moment, the rock wall was forgotten.The hand on his waist was slightly released, his feet stepped on the solid ground, and he opened his eyes.

Of course, the only thing that can be used in the darkness is night spectrum vision. I saw a round hole the size of two people opened on the thickest mountainside of the cave behind me. The sound of falling rocks, big and small, resounded through the sky, and the color of the magic dissipated was like a beautiful rainbow... San took a deep breath, "This is really a good way to take a shortcut."

Turning his head to look at Hong Ming who had put away his long sword, San was startled suddenly, what did he see?A burst of bright orange red transpired on the outsider's body, like a rise in body temperature caused by emotional fluctuations.He blinked, mood swings?The blood bond allows him to feel Hong Ming's mood naturally, but strong emotions such as sadness, anger, excitement, etc. are clearly not reflected, only a faint warm thought reverberates in his heart, this is...

"Are you ok?"

Two voices sounded from the bottom of my heart at the same time, and the faint anxiety was still lingering in Hong Ming's heart.Wait, what happened when I fell asleep just now?Sarn raised his eyebrows, "Oh, I'm fine, I can't be better. Are you worried?"

In Yepu's vision, the temperature on Hong Ming's face seemed to rise a little bit, it was almost white, but he didn't shake his head.Sarn suddenly sent a voice transmission, "Okay, we have to leave here quickly, the peripheral vision of the magic wave is too eye-catching."

As he spoke, he looked at the dirt and dust all over his body, and showed a sly smile, "Come with me first, and take you to a place."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Hong Ming to respond, San took a step forward and walked into the distance.Hong Ming took a deep breath. The situation just now was really dangerous, which made him almost lose his composure.Involuntarily clenched his fingers, as if wanting to dispel the firm and warm touch, Hong Ming closed his eyes, followed closely behind Saen, and walked towards the throbbing heartbeat.
