Chapter 436 The Dangerous Underground World (2 Updates)
"Collaborate to develop the underground world?"
"Really or not? Are the Gulf leaders so kind?"
"Isn't this a trap arranged by those cunning humans? Have we exposed a flaw?"
"Probably not. If the Gulf Territory takes action against us, it will not gain anything, and it will also lose a big customer."
"That's true. Even if we lose a team, in terms of human value, it can't compare to the nearly 2 million gold coins every month."
"Would you like to try it? If you succeed..."
"Worth a try!"
"..."
The news that came through the emergency communication made both Aini and Paris heave a long sigh of relief.
As they said, in this in-depth cooperation with the Gulf Territory, although there are risks, they are very small, and the rewards are greater!
Worth trying!
April 22nd.
Bay collar.
Light rain.
The raindrops are falling and falling.
On the busy construction site, only a few engineering golems were still working silently.
The engineers, unwilling to rest in the middle of the night, hid not far away and conducted remote control operations.
The daytime adventurers had left, most of them preparing to enter the underworld.
Coincidentally, the Gulf Territory received a batch of spell scrolls and props from the El Elves.
They are working hard to complete the task and obtain valuable tools for exchange as soon as possible.
A heavily armed force was stationed in a passage built about 50 meters downward.
Deeper below, a small camp is being established in an orderly manner.
The teleportation array has not yet been placed here to prevent the enemy from capturing it, so that the teleportation array can be used to return the attack.
For Matthew, although resources are important, territory security is more important.
Beside him, Jifan was carefully looking at the opened map of the underground world.
He raised his head from time to time and looked at the dark surroundings.
Faint fluorescence emanated from the walls and top rock walls.
These days, Jifan has learned a lot about the underground world, and knows that this is one of the most basic and important plants in the underground world - fluorescent moss.
They are very tenacious and grow extremely fast. Although they are not rich in nutrients, they can take root and sprout in any environment and have very low growth requirements.
Most of the herbivorous creatures in the underground world feed on fluorescent moss.
This forms the most basic part of the biological chain of the entire underground world.
After clicking on the map, Matthew pointed to the three surrounding Gnoll camps and said in a thoughtful tone and tone:
"We are currently in a relatively narrow empty space, and the main enemies are these three gnoll camps."
"The Gnoll camp closest to us has about 2,000 people, and the Gnoll camp closest to the cave entrance has about 20,000 people."
"If you want to occupy this space, you can first block the entrance and exit, and give priority to clearing out the jackal camp inside..."
Seeing Matthew talking, everyone in the team nodded thoughtfully.
Before coming down, everyone already knew the purpose of the trip.
Verify the information collected by the adventurers.
Make a real attack plan for the underground world.
Explore the underground world beyond.
Of course, the most important thing is to find a resource-rich mineral area.
It must be beneficial in order to have greater motivation to move forward!
Taking advantage of this time, Aini secretly observed the tall soldiers around her.
Aini naturally knew Beelzebub, the tallest one. Faced with the strong threat coming from him, the elf lady of the Silver Leaf family couldn't help but feel shocked.
Beelzebub, like other soldiers, increased in strength too quickly.
In Aini's view, Beelzebub, who was more burly, must have received similar enhancements like other soldiers, and the effect was particularly outstanding.
Looking around curiously, Yaya sniffed the faint smell in the air, seemed to have thought of something, and muttered:
"Yeah, it seems like a jackal is approaching."
Everyone pricked up their ears, but could not hear any movement, but no one had any doubts about Yaya's judgment.
Who would question a dragon?
After putting away the map and cleaning the surrounding smell, Matthew made a forward gesture and at the same time warned everyone:
"If it is not necessary, try not to fight with these jackals, so as not to cause greater trouble."
They are a team of 20 people. Although they have strong fighting ability, they are not interested in meaningless battles.
More than 10 minutes later.
Everyone looked at the Jackal hunting team in the distance, heading deeper into the underground world.
The faint cold wind blew slowly on his face.
The slight chill is completely different from the early summer on the surface, as if we are still in the lingering winter.
Rugged caves, twisting and turning in the dark, leading nowhere.
Ordinary people coming here may not be able to go very far and will lose their way.
Of course, what is more dangerous than the complex environment are the predators hiding in caves and crevices.
The most dangerous one is the human-faced spider.
A mid-level peak magical creature with a challenge level of 11.
They always hide quietly above the narrow entrance.
Once prey passes below, it will immediately become violent.
Like the tail of a white human face, it releases strange hallucination spells on its prey.
Those who are not determined will fall into frightening hallucinations and be shocked on the spot, unable to move.
When facing this kind of prey, the human-faced spider will spray a spider web with paralysis toxins, wrap the prey up, drag it back to its nest, and use it as dry food for storage.
If the prey is not hit, it still has fangs full of toxins.
Just a light bite, the extremely strong paralysis toxin will immediately make the prey lose the ability to resist and become unable to move.
Of course, the human-faced spider, which has consumed its physical strength, will happily feast on it and have a delicious meal.
After learning about the eating methods of these human-faced spiders, Aini felt a chill in her heart.
Two sharp arrows were shot at high speed, instantly taking the life of the human-faced spider.
In addition to this ambush hunter, the numerous shadow lizards are also one of the most dangerous predators in this area.
Although their size is not as large as the cracked sky lizard, and the lethality of sneak attacks is not as strong.
However, they are more flexible and there are many of them!
Although the challenge level of an individual is only level 4, the deterrence brought by living in groups exceeds 12+.
Of course, these troublesome hunters pose no threat to Matthew and his companions.
There is Yaya!
In addition to these two types of hunters, they also saw large bats hanging upside down on the top of the rock wall, stone vipers hidden in the turbulent stream, underground trolls wandering between caves, and pot-bellied ogres.
They are dangerous and dense, making it difficult to guard against them.
No wonder the Bay Territory raised the challenge level of this area to above level 8.
Only elite adventurer teams are qualified and have enough merits to enter this area.
