Dungeon?
Everyone was stunned when they heard Eris speak. Whats wrong with that? As long as its an underground city, isnt it all just a dungeon?
Taking in the expressions of the people before her, Elise couldnt help but let out a deep sigh from within. The Obsidian City had only been at the bottom of the dark land for less than a hundred years, and to be strict, they could only be considered "new recruits" in the underground world. Moreover, since arriving in this dark land, they had been busy establishing their city and fighting against other forces, without any time to spare for anything else. But Elise was different; as an erudite mage, she was enthusiastic about collecting all sorts of knowledge and intelligence. In her heart, Elise knew clearly that relying solely on combat would not be enough for the Obsidian City to continue existing - they needed sufficient knowledge to do so. Otherwise, the city would find it difficult to take a single step forward in this underground world.
"What is referred to as an underground city does not necessarily mean a city under the ground."
Although the situation is urgent, Elise has instead let go. The rear route was blocked, the space was sealed off, and even the transmission gate could not be opened. If this really is the place recorded in the records, then her chances of survival are less than one percent. In that case, why bother wasting energy shouting loudly?
"In short, among the dwellers in the dark depths, the underground city is a special term that exists only for and represents one thing... ...the palace of the Demon King."
“…………………”
Everyones face turned pale like white paper at this point, and those few Taylors were even more terrified, their whole body trembling, almost paralyzed on the ground!
On the continent of Krael, all races yearning for light believe in the Sky Kingdom, and conversely, all dark sub-races are ruled by the Demon Realm. Just as humans believe in gods, dark races also take the demon king as their faith. The three races that built the Black Onyx City each have a demon king of their own faith. The snake people worship the wise serpent Dreyan, the half-vampires worship the Blood Queen Lanasar, and the Tieflin worship the Dark Lord Solen.
However, just as not every deity on the surface requires worship to show loyalty, the demon lords of the dark realm have no interest in their followers singing their praises. They prefer their followers to express their intentions through actual actions rather than verbal praise and donations.
Thats why the cultists action power is always higher than the Temple of the Holy Spirit... isnt it that doing more and talking less is the way to progress?
Enough of this idle chatter.
Although the dark elves do not need to chant sacred words all day long to praise their own faith, they still have a natural fear of the demon king. Think about it carefully, if an ordinary person on the ground suddenly came to a palace where a true god was present, what would be his reaction?
Not to mention the gods of the Heavenly Kingdom are relatively easy-going. But which devil king from the Bottomless Abyss is good-tempered? As a member of the dark race, if they dont even know what kind of punishment theyll get for trespassing in the Devil Kings palace, then theyve lived all these years in vain!
At first, Elise didnt dare to believe that this was the legendary Demon Domain, but after seeing the sculpture and the symbols and carvings on the wall, she finally confirmed that this was indeed the underground city that the inhabitants of the underground world spoke of with trepidation! To know that the monster on the sculpture was not an ordinary monster, but a Death Guide from the Demon Realm! In the eyes of the Dark Dwellers, the status of the Death Guide was equal to that of the angels sent by God. Being able to use an angel as a sculpture at the entrance——even the Holy Church didnt have such great audacity!
Most importantly, after Elises investigation, she could confirm that the carvings on the wall were indeed the most orthodox and ancient Deep Abyss script. This script was a patent of the Demon Clan, never to be leaked! No, it should be said that except for the Demon Clan, anyone who dared to write these characters would go mad and die. Even Elise, who had been in the Blood-colored Cult for so long, only recognized a few symbols and fonts, but just this was enough to scare her soul away.
A sculpture of a Death Guide, and the Abyssal script... If it were just one of these, Elise would still have doubted whether this was some kind of altar for an evil overlord. But now that both the demonic guide and the abyssal script had appeared together, Elise swore on her own name that if this wasnt a dungeon, shed eat every book in the Blood-Red Sects Grand Library!
Perhaps its better for her to swallow the book herself under the current circumstances!
BOOM!!
At this moment, the trembling of the earth suddenly stopped, and then a thick stone wall came crashing down from the sky, pressing down on everyone!!
"Get out of the way!!"
Faced with this sudden trap, everyone was also shocked and quickly hid to the side. Then they heard a loud "boom" sound, and huge boulders crashed heavily onto the ground, sending dust flying everywhere, enveloping the entire corridor for a moment.
At this very moment, the sleeping monster finally revealed its fangs.
The snake man warrior quickly twisted his body and dodged the splashing gravel by leaning against the wall. But before he could make his next move, a faint "click" sound came from behind him. The next moment, dozens of extremely sharp blades suddenly sprang out from the hidden holes in the wall, instantly turning the snake man warrior into a bloody sieve.
"Ah!!!!!!"
As he watched this scene, the thief Teflin standing beside him suddenly inhaled a cold breath. He quickly retreated backwards, trying to get away from that poor guy who was pierced by countless arrows. But before he could take a few more steps back, suddenly, icy cold air swirled up along Teflins feet and rose upwards. A thick layer of ice appeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye, freezing Teflin solidly in place.
"Damn it, damn it!!"
Watching the ice layer spreading all over his body, Tavlin was also shocked and shouted loudly while waving his hands to strike the cold ice that froze his body. But at this moment, the whistling stone wall had already arrived in front of him, and all Tavlin could do was to raise his hands in despair and stare blankly at the increasingly larger dark shadow in front of him.
BOOM!!!
Blood splattered everywhere, fragments of flesh mixed with white bones scattered all over the place, wails and angry roars merged into one piece, as if it were a human hell.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
The half-vampire darted through the air like a ghost, leaving behind a trail of afterimages as he dodged arrows flying out from the gaps in the walls. He grasped his long sword tightly and sprinted forward, his elegant attire now sullied beyond recognition. But the half-vampire had no time to worry about his clothes now. This place was like hell for him, every step a potential harbinger of death, every move a gamble with fate that filled him with terror. Yet he couldnt afford to think about these things anymore; nothing was more important to him than escaping this place!
"Wowwwww!!!"
A massive stone block whizzed past the half-vampires body, crashing into the wall with a tremendous impact, sending shards of rock and sand scattering to the side. The half-vampire also lost his footing, his figure flashing as he fell to the ground. And in that instant when he hit the ground, the half-vampires ears picked up a faint sound.
Without any hesitation, almost at the same time as hearing this voice, the half-vampire immediately rolled away in a more wretched posture, and right behind his back, sharp steel thorns "hissed" out from the floor and shot straight up into the sky.
"Hah... Hah..."
Staring at the trap in front of him, even a half-vampire couldnt help but wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead. If he hadnt reacted quickly enough, he would have been done for!
"Ah!!!!!!"
Just as the half-vampire relaxed, a white shadow suddenly darted out from the gap between the rubble and pounced on the half-vampire. The half-vampire who had barely escaped death did not even have time to react before being grabbed by the white insect, which covered his face. He let out a muffled groan as he fell to the ground, convulsing several times before becoming completely still.
"We must leave here quickly!!"
Listening to the miserable cries coming from beside her ear, Eriss heart was burning with anxiety. But now that things had turned out like this, she didnt have anything else she could do. The thick and hard stone wall completely cut off her team, while those soldiers, due to their tension and panic, kept triggering one trap after another. Now, Eris couldnt care about anyone else anymore. She opened up a protective shield and brought the soldiers surrounding her body to quickly rush towards the other end of the passageway.
And all these scenes were reflected in the crystal ball and entered the eyes of Zhan En and others.
"Master, our lord, our trap is very... very... very effective..."
Staring at the scene in the crystal ball, Becks was so scared that her face turned white, but she still gritted her teeth and forced a smile as she looked towards Jan.
No wonder, these traps were set up by Jan personally, but the design and construction of the underground castle was handled by Bicks own hands. It has to be admitted that this dwarf does have his own unique insights in architecture, and is also quite talented.
Imagine that the people sent by Hei Maren Stone City are all elite among elites. Even if they accidentally triggered a trap, they wouldnt be slow to react and couldnt dodge. But one after another, they were unlucky and didnt even have the strength to fight back. This is certainly not normal.
And in fact, all of this was written by Becks.
Of course, the little dwarf is not a bad person. The dwarves residence is relatively close to the ground surface, and they are peaceful and uncompetitive in their daily lives, and are considered kind compared to other underground races. Moreover, Little Loli has never killed a chicken since she was young, how could she possibly kill people?
All of this was actually designed by Zhan, he just compared all the trap effects he had at present with Ke Sai and then ordered her to set up according to these trap effects, so that the enemy could not dodge them no matter what, even if they went to heaven or earth, once the traps were triggered, there would only be one way to go - fight to the death.
Bixi is a theorist and didnt think about the twists and turns in between, so she happily followed Zhans idea. Probably when she received the order from Zhan at first, the little dwarfs brain didnt consider what consequences these traps would bring.
At this moment, I saw with my own eyes that in just a short while, several people died in front of me like chickens and sheep being slaughtered, and they all died because of my design. Becks also had a pale face, with an expression as if he was regretful for inventing something that the big BOSS in the movie used to harm the world.
Bixie regretted it, but Zhan was quite satisfied. To know that in the game, players trap combinations and linked attacks would kill a large number of brain cells. At first, he just wanted to be lazy and see if Bixie had any talent in this area, but unexpectedly, he dug up a treasure, which also made Zhan secretly happy. At this moment, seeing Bixies expression, Zhan also stretched out his hand and gently stroked Bixies little head.
"Alright, Becks, dont be too hard on yourself. These people are clearly up to no good and want to cause us trouble. If we didnt take some precautions, Im afraid they would have come knocking on our door. Youve been working hard enough these days, go get some rest, it should be fine."
"Alright, thank you master."
When Bianca heard Zanes words, her originally somewhat bitter face relaxed a lot. Although she was born kind-hearted, the dark land at the bottom wasnt a place where kindness could survive. Bianca also knew that the dwarves city had set up many traps in the dark territory to defend against external attacks, and it was likely that those enemies who fell into the traps would end up in such a miserable state.
Thinking of this, Becks didnt feel as regretful as before. On the contrary, she smiled and nodded at Zhan En, then turned around to leave - although the little guy had indeed figured it out, but such a bloody scene, she still wouldnt look if she could help it.
But even though I left, Bixis heart is still sweet... The master is really good to Bixi, knowing that Bixi doesnt like this scene, so he let me go and rest. Thinking back to when I was in the Dwarf City, every time I ran outside and came back, my parents and brothers would only scold me for being naughty and not following the rules, afraid of bringing trouble to the Dwarf City... But they didnt care about my life or death at all... Not as good as the master!
At this time, Becks had forgotten that if it wasnt for Zhan En letting herself do such a thing, she probably wouldnt have had such an experience in her lifetime.
"Hmm!"
Looking at the little loli running away, Verena let out a dissatisfied cold hum. If it werent for your familys master going out every day to rob other merchant teams, would they have come to your doorstep in such a hurry?
But upon hearing Verenas cold snort, Zane looked at her and then stood up.
"The appetizer is almost ready. So next, its our turn to take the stage."
