Just as Elise and the others were at a loss, they did not notice that their every move had been completely taken in by Zhan. At this moment, Zhan was sitting on the throne, and at first glance, it seemed like he was just resting with his eyes closed. In fact, at this moment, Zhan had already connected his spirit to the entire underground city, and for him, there were no secrets here.

  "Twenty snake people, fifteen Taeflin, eight bloodsuckers... Hmm, they all seem to have elite-level strength. That one called Eris should be a high-ranking wizard, I didnt expect there to be such a young high-ranking wizard, but you never know..."

  One side lightly tapped his fingers, and Zhan Ens mouth corners slightly curled up.

  "Then, lets start a grand PARTY!"

  In the end, the patrol team chose to continue advancing. The stone wall that blocked their retreat route was too thick and heavy, even Eris didnt have confidence in dealing with it. Of course, as a high-ranking mage, if Eris used her full strength, a mere wall wouldnt be a problem. But whether they would be buried together underneath at that time was another issue altogether.

  Its precisely because of this that everyone can only grit their teeth and continue moving forward. However, at this moment, their mood is no longer as relaxed as when they first started. This magical trap is really too strange, not to mention that there was no warning before it was triggered, even veteran thieves couldnt detect the secret of this trap, nor did they know where the trap zone was. As a result, everyone takes every step with extreme caution, raising their vigilance to the highest level, for fear that the trap will suddenly and inexplicably trigger and fall on their own heads - that would be a disaster of epic proportions.

  Now they just hope to find some clues as soon as possible, or find a hiding place for the enemy, at least this way there is a clear goal, and it wont be confusing what to do now.

  Alas, things didnt go as wished.

  "For crying out loud, weve been walking for almost an hour!!"

  Clutching the long sword in his hand, the captain of the snake mans face was iron-green. If it werent for the concern that there might be traps everywhere, he would probably have jumped up in anger by now. They had been walking along this road for so long, and yet they still hadnt found anything except tunnels upon tunnels, twisting and turning with no clue what lay ahead. If things kept going like this, he felt like he was going to go mad!

  Upon hearing this, Elise also furrowed her brow slightly, but unlike the Snake People captain, she had detected another anomaly - Elise had keenly sensed that the stone slabs paving the ground along their path were all of the same style, which suggested that there should be some man-made structures nearby. However, after walking for so long, apart from the trap that was triggered earlier, Elise hadnt seen any signs of human construction.

  Whats going on?

  Alice didnt understand, of course. This was one of the main features of Janns underground castle system - only land that had been "stepped on" by goblins would be officially recognized as part of the underground castles range. After being recognized by the system, the underground castle within the sphere of influence could draw magical power from the earth to supply the castle lord for use. Therefore, the larger the underground castles range and the wider its influence, the higher the upper limit of Janns magical power, the faster his recovery speed, and the broader his exploration range.

  Its precisely because of this that in the past few months since arriving at the Dark Territory, Jian Chen hasnt done anything else but let the goblins flatten all the land that can be explored in every direction. Regardless of whether there are buildings or not, theyll at least occupy the place first, and once the land is in hand, everything else is trivial and nothing to worry about. After all, territorial influence doesnt require spending money, and it can even absorb magical power - this kind of risk-free business is a must-do.

  Its also because of this distorted development that Zhans underground city, which occupies a land area the size of an entire palace on the surface, actually uses less than one-tenth of it, no wonder Elise made a calculation error.

  What made Elise even more uneasy was that the patrol teams people were getting more and more impatient. This is not surprising, they have been walking for so long and found nothing. Moreover, they had to be on guard against possible traps that might be triggered at any time around them, which made the elites from Black Onyx City feel extremely depressed. Many of them were tough guys who had faced off against the three major underground forces for Black Onyx City before, but when did they ever encounter such a situation?

  If only there was a clear enemy, but now the enemy cant be found, nor can the trap, leaving them with a strong body and nowhere to vent their energy, making these elites almost furious!!

  While these elites were advancing cautiously, Zhan also manipulated his summoned creature, quietly crawling in the crevices of the dark passage, vigilantly staring at the prey in front of him.

  "Didnt expect these guys to be so troublesome."

  Looking at the Black Onyx Stone City patrol teams impeccable formation, Zhan En couldnt help but feel a bit apprehensive. He also sensed the restless atmosphere within the patrol team. However, what he didnt expect was that despite their inner anxiety, they still carried out their tasks with precision and vigilance. There wasnt a scene where they would argue loudly among themselves and disperse - if it had become like that, it would have been much easier for Zhan En to deal with.

  But things are different now, the other side has a high-ranking mage, and the others arent pushovers either. The alien excels at backstabbing, and in a head-on battle its still not strong enough——but thats not a problem, the aliens special skill is 【Autonomous Evolution】, which means as long as it absorbs enough genetic material from different species, it can gain the advantages of those species. As long as Jianen can control the alien to defeat enough enemies, it can evolve into a Mege Water Arrow Turtle!

  Something seems wrong?

  Forget it, now is not the time to care about such trivial matters.

  Thinking of this, Zhan En shook his head and threw the sudden thought that popped up in his mind to the distant clouds, then he continued to stare at the prey in front of him.

  Next is where the key lies.

  The patrol team stopped in their tracks.

  This is not because there are no channels in front of them, but rather, at this moment, three pitch-black holes are waiting for the arrival of some reckless entrants.

  "Hey, half-breed, hows it going?"

  The captain of the Snake People narrowed his eyes and stared at Tavlin who was scouting ahead.

  "Which way should we go?"

  "How was I supposed to know, idiot……Im watching…………!!"

  At this moment, Tavlin also had a headache, and even the captain of the snake peoples sarcastic words were not put in his ears. A fool could see that the three paths in front of him must have only one safe path, and the other two must be deadly traps with no return. But now, how to choose has become a major problem in front of everyone.

  "Cant you see that? Wherever there are footprints of the subterranean lizard, well just go that way."

  "Do you think I dont understand? Idiot?!!"

  Hearing the Snake Peoples captains repeated taunts, Tavriel finally couldnt bear it and jumped up in anger.

  "The problem is that all three entrances now have signs of underground lizard activity, can you tell which path we can take?!!"

  Seeing things werent going well, Elise had no choice but to put on a brave face and smooth things over.

  "Can...that be judged from the heavy marks and time?"

  "I think so too, big sister."

  Upon hearing Eris words, Taflins face which had turned pale with anger earlier now looked much better. However, soon after, he helplessly spread open his hands.

  "But judging from our reconnaissance just now, the other side has simply divided this group of lizardmen into three groups and entered them through three cave entrances. From the traces of heavy loads, there is no sign that they have changed their cargo..."

  Things have come to this point, and Elsie cant help it either.

  "No matter what, Im going anyway! Ive decided to go left!!"

  The captain of the snake people angrily swung his long sword and then stared at Eris with wide eyes.

  "Anyway, these three roads either all lead to where that damned bastard is or only one of them is a safe route. In any case, we have to try!"

  "I dont think its necessary to rush like this."

  In the face of the Snake Peoples captains words, Elise was unusually calm, her expression serious as she waved her hand.

  "Now everyone is anxious, if something else happens at this critical moment, our situation will only get worse." As she said this, Elise furrowed her brow, and on her originally somewhat timid-looking small face, there was a hint of majesty.

  "I suggest that each of us sends one person, three people form a group, and separately enter the three caves to explore the road, this is the best way."

  Upon hearing this, both the captain of the Snake People and Tiflin were taken aback, but immediately afterwards, their gaze towards Eris was filled with a few more portions of admiration.

  Indeed, Elises suggestion sounds quite cruel, its clear that someone is going to sweep the mine and some people wont come back. But this is what a military team with strict discipline should have. They are not adventurers who take risks for money, but warriors and guards who protect the Black Onyx City, for them, as long as they can protect their hometown, whats difficult about dedicating their lives?

  Before, Elises attitude was somewhat ambiguous, which made others have some reservations about this young lady. At this moment, hearing her propose such a suggestion, they suddenly looked at her with a few more points of respect. Indeed, what they need to do now is to find out where the Black Agate City merchant group went, thats the key!

  "I agree with Big Sisters opinion!"

  "I agree too."

  Soon, Captain Snake and Tavlin agreed to Elises suggestion, and they quickly selected the guards and entered three tunnels respectively.

  Zhan En also revealed a hint of a smile upon seeing this scene.

  Its time for me to take action!
