When Jianxiu came to the Western Fantasy Continent

The exit of the shaft is only about a hundred miles away from the mine pit. The huge domes and deep canyons in the middle and lower layers of the Underdark are much easier to walk than the steep terrain in the upper layer. In addition, there are abundant products near the inner sea, which makes the most cunning and intelligent evil Races -- such as illithids, dark elves, and beholders -- spare no effort to carve out territories and dig tunnels.The unimpeded road greatly increased the speed of Saen and Hong Ming. It took them only one day to walk more than 80 miles, and they did not slow down until they approached the mine.

Also near the inland sea, the environment here is much more dangerous, the wide and straight tunnels become rare, most of the animals disappear, even the ground moss and fungi become rare, as if they were wiped out by some unknown thing.Hong Ming gently pressed the skirt of his clothes, the closer he got to the mine, the hotter the gold box in his arms became, and the fragments of the magic weapon were eager to try, trying to merge with his own body.Fortunately, there is a confinement formation on the golden box, which prevents the immortal energy from escaping, so that this artifact will not be released from the hand.

"It's almost here. The throbbing of the fragments is getting stronger and stronger." Hong Ming sent a voice transmission to Sarn, standing in the lower part of the dark region, the darkness became thicker, he could no longer see Sarn's actions clearly, he could only vaguely feel that the other party was standing Beside the rock wall on one side, it seems to be checking something. "what have you found?"

"Illithids, more than 9 people, Brain Golem..." San replied.In the corner of this rock wall, he found a unique mark, even if he could use dark vision, he would easily miss it if he wasn't paying attention.This is a special code belonging to the dark elves, and it is specially used for the sentinels to pass on information.The message on the sigil is simple, but the message behind it is not.San slowly stood up and walked back to Hong Ming.

"It's a bit bad. The number of illithids in the mine is beyond imagination, and there is at least one brain golem. This is a fighting technique exclusive to the ruler of illithids. They are powerful enough to complete all tasks assigned by the mastermind. It seems This excavation operation was controlled by the mastermind of Deep Sea City, who already knew a lot about artifacts and was sure to obtain them. At the same time, knowing that there were many enemies, Samarien City still sent a large number of sentries, This is not in line with the habits of the dark elves.'Conspiracies require the utmost certainty', my countrymen believe in hypocritical justice, they never fight a battle that has no chance of winning... No matter what lies ahead, the situation is not optimistic .”

"The two teams represent the power of the two cities." Hong Ming pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "In the Underdark Region, we can't beat any of them."

"That's right." Sarn replied unhurriedly, "If you want to deal with the illithids, you have to send soldiers far outnumbered by him. Any underground creature knows that the horror of illithids is not only in their psychology Attacks also depend on the warriors they can summon. Illithids that rely on deprivation of thinking and manipulating living creatures for a living are best at domesticating a group of powerful guards, using them to tear apart any enemy who dares to offend them. If there is any attempt , the number of dark elves will not be less than 50."

"But their current enemy is not us. If both of them came for the Bell of the Fallen, there must be a battle between them."

There was a smile on the corner of Sarn's mouth, "Of course. And if there is no accident, the war between them will break out at the moment when the artifact is collected by the spirit sucker. It can not only escape the influence of the artifact, but also get it easily The spoils you want, this way of getting something for nothing is Drow's style."

As if trying to pick his own thoughts, this time Hong Ming even slowed down his voice transmission, "I read a military book by chance more than a hundred years ago, and I vaguely remember this sentence: Soldiers, Deceitful ways. Therefore, if you can, you can show that you can't, if you can use it, you can't use it, if you are close, you can show it is far, if you are far, you can show it is near; To be scratched, to be humbled and arrogant, to be lost and tired, to be separated from one's relatives, to attack the unprepared, to be surprised... Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, the enemy is clear and we are dark, this is indeed somewhat in line with the art of war, and it is not easy to attack by force. ..."

Seeing Hong Ming's pensive look, the smile on Saen's face became wider, "It's true, only by muddying the lake can we catch big fish. These two powerful enemies only have each other in their eyes. Their vigilance, preparation And the conspiracy is only aimed at each other, our appearance will be a surprise..."

Saying that, San glanced lightly at the drow mark on the wall, "Let's prepare first."

&&&&

Hiding beyond the artifact's reach, a drow warrior lurks in the darkness.From this angle, most of the dome is under his field of vision. The dim light in the cave affects part of his vision, but it will not affect his concentration and vigilance. As one of the outposts, his task is to observe from this angle The movement in the pit ignited the magic device at the most appropriate time, notifying Lord Waxmelt who was far away in the camp, leading the dark elves to victory.

Being entrusted with such an important task proves that he has entered the sight of the nobles of the family, his strength and judgment have been fully recognized, and the steps for promotion have been paved. As long as he can successfully complete the task this time, greater power will come. Within easy reach... The soldier narrowed his eyes, staring ahead more intently, as long as he can...

Suddenly, a breeze blew across his neck, and the warrior had an excellent reaction. He leaned back to avoid the attack, but the blade unexpectedly inflated by an inch, and it still pierced through his jaw neatly. After inserting it, the blood that was about to be sprayed was blocked back.

Sarn reached out his hand to catch the falling body, and then he crawled back to the camp along the steep rock wall like a big cat with its prey in its mouth.

Gently placing the corpse on the ground, Sarn quickly checked the other party's attire, quickly stripped off all the clothes that could represent his identity, and also took down the spiritual shock ball tightly tied around his waist.Inside this fine gold ball, there is an astonishingly powerful instant magic, which can trigger a mind crit just by throwing it out, which is perfect for dealing with illithids.At the same time, this magic wave will also become the clarion call to launch a general attack. A large number of drow will follow this signal into the battlefield and destroy all enemies.

At this time, there was a slight noise not far away, Sarn did not turn his head, but put on new clothes more quickly to ensure that his disguise was correct. "You're back? Why..."

Hong Ming reached out to catch a badge that was about to fall, and handed it back to Sarn.

"The crest of the Nessert family, this is the first family in Samarien City, they are quite willing to spend their money." Saen smiled slightly, and wanted to take the badge, but Hong Ming grabbed his wrist, The grip was a little tight, almost to the point of pain.

"What's the matter?" Sensing that the other party's expression was wrong, San asked through voice transmission in doubt.

"It's not like you said, there are only dark elves there."

"What?" Sarn was taken aback by this answer, "Could there be any living things?"

"Yes." Hong Ming was a little hesitant, holding Saen's hand even tighter.

Since there will definitely be high-level priests in the opponent's camp, as long as Sarn, the defected drow, appears within the range of the divine spell, he will immediately attract an attack.Therefore, the heavy task of investigation was entrusted to Hong Ming, who asked him to use the true energy in his body to sense the possible power. But beyond his expectation.

"There are at least six powerful people in the formation over there, two of them have fluctuations like mages, four of them are priests like the ones I've seen before, and there's one besides... It's definitely not a human creation, it's body is scattered. His evil spirit almost overwhelms all the evil cultivators I have ever seen, and it is so powerful that it is unbelievable."

Hong Ming didn't know how to describe what he sensed. If such an enemy really appeared, then their plan would become very dangerous, especially the safety of Sarn... Maybe he should think of another way...

"Non-human? Those who can be summoned by the dark elves are probably either wax melters or soul-eating spiders... The mistress of the Nessert family is really good at it." Sarn gently pulled out his fingers and hung the badge back on his waist.

"Your identity... defecting from the drow should not be tolerated by the Spider Goddess. If her servant descends into the human world, your identity will be discovered immediately." Hong Ming clenched his palms slightly.

"That's right." Sarn replied calmly, "The melting wax demon's telepathic range can reach at least a hundred feet. If it goes according to plan, it will discover my existence at the first time."

"We should change our method!"

"This is already the best way..." Looking at the outsider with a somewhat stubborn expression in front of him, San suddenly grinned, took a step forward, and stretched out his arms to hug him. "Are you worried about me? Hong Ming."

A pair of warm and strong arms tightly wrapped around him, Hong Ming's body was slightly stiff, and he continued to relax slowly under this pleasant body temperature, but the voice transmission from the bottom of his heart was still difficult, "I promised to protect you, Keep you safe from any danger..."

"Yes, you promised me." Sann pulled a little distance away, and under the vision of Yepu, the person in front of him shone like a silver moon, exuding a brilliance that fascinated him. "And you did."

"I didn't..."

"No, you have already done it, my Daoist." Ruoyou Ruowu's breath touched Hong Ming's lips, like the softest warm wind, "Although I have escaped from this hateful dark area, but For so many years, it has always imprisoned my soul, kept me awake at night, and was tortured by fear and pain all the time. And you brought me out. Even in this dark hometown, as long as you are by my side, I You can feel the comfort of your soul, no longer panic, no longer hesitate. No one can do this except you."

The emotion that reverberated in his heart was so straightforward, Hong Ming felt his heart tremble, and couldn't help but grabbed Saen's sleeve.However, the other party let go of his arms and stood in front of him again.

"Now, it's time for me to help you. That artifact must not fall into the hands of an evil god. I know better than you how disastrous the consequences will be if the Spider Queen obtains it. This is what we want to prevent Her only way. It may not be smart enough, but it is effective enough. As long as you pass this level, you will lead me to escape from the dark realm and return to the safe surface..."

"I will." Hong Ming nodded lightly. In the dark, he actually couldn't see the man in front of him clearly, but the trust and desire overflowing in his chest were so strong that he could hardly control himself. "I will protect you, do my best!"

A chuckle answered him.

"Now, let's get started."
