The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0224 Crisis

This is a small tunnel that twists and turns and extends downwards. The hole is opened behind a huge stalactite. It is really difficult to find if you don't search carefully.

The stone wall on the side of the cave entrance emits a faint green light, obviously containing a lot of metal minerals. With this weak light source, the appearance of this human figure was barely illuminated. A soft white robe of unknown material was draped over the human-shaped body, and the fangs and sharp teeth on the uncovered thin face radiated a cold light, which was impressively the ferocious face of a wolf man. What was even more frightening was the bloodstains flowing across his face, which looked like wounds he had scratched out, but strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

The gnoll murderer who scared away all the underground creatures was the blood demon who accepted Li Xun's mission.

As the most irresponsible master, Li Xun only gave an extremely vague coordinate of the underground world, and there was no other information to trace, which caused great trouble for the blood demon. The underground world is different from the surface. There is no general map of the world here, and there are no straight and open passages. There are only rugged and winding corridors and connected caves.

Even drow, who occupies a dominant position here, at most clearly knows the general environment of the two to three hundred miles around his city, and occasionally understands some frequently-traveled business routes, other than that, it is the endless living world of underground creatures . Want to travel between these cities? Alright, let's find those caravans that have been traveling there all year round!

They may place you in a caravan after receiving enough payment, but they will never sell the so-called map. Besides, without the guidance of a "veteran" who understands maps, even if you are given a so-called map, you will only get lost in the endless three-dimensional caves that twist and turn. Finding the way here mostly relies on extraordinary intuition and mysterious instinct, and there is no such thing as running around the world with a map.

With the viciousness of the Gorefiend, there are already one or two caravans devoured, but what they get from the memory fragments are all fragmented and peculiar scenes, and it is difficult to match the road in front of them. For an outsider, the terrain here is basically the same, except for the endless darkness, there are large and small caves, winding passages, endless cold-blooded creatures, and thick and thin stone pillars dripping water.

To put it bluntly, this is a magical underground world, but to put it bluntly, this is simply a huge stone tomb. From the moment you set foot in the underground world, you'd better regard yourself as a living dead person, or you will go mad in some empty crevice sooner or later.

The Gorefiend looked at the narrow opening in front of him, and sent out that peculiar shock wave again, confirming that this is a passable road, and it is also in the direction of the coordinates given by the master, so he quickly plunged into it without any hesitation, Fumbled forward along the direction detected just now.

...

The carriage swayed lightly, walking on the compacted gravel road.

Li Xun leaned against the wall of the car, squeezed his forehead, and made brief telepathic connections with the heroes of the cemetery in several places in succession. After learning about the current situation of urban development, he disconnected with peace of mind.

This kind of telepsychic communication will be carried out every 2-3 days. In the past, in the mage tower of the cemetery, with the support of the magic circle, it is not a big burden. Now I am alone, conducting this cross-regional, cross-plane communication. Spiritual communication can only be promoted by his spiritual power. Therefore, after just a few minutes, Li Xun was a little tired and unable to enjoy himself.

In the swaying carriage, without disturbing anyone around him, he can communicate across planes silently. This is only possible after his soul has been semi-advanced. Supplements and increases can be achieved.

Siris changed back to her usual black mage robe, and was flipping through a thick magic book on the small table in the corner of the carriage. Seeing this, she couldn't help but close the book, moved it over, and actively helped him massage the faint bulge after his mental power was exhausted. Painful skull.

It seems that the treatment now is indeed different from before. A woman who has a physical relationship is truly her own woman!

Li Xun took the opportunity to fall on her soft and plump thighs, as if he was about to close his eyes and meditate. Siris's beautiful blue eyes gave him a blank look. He is more comfortable lying down.

"Take a good rest! I'll wake you up when you get there." Siris covered Li Xun's eyes with one slender and soft jade hand, and gently slapped her buttocks with the other hand. Bad hand, softly whispered.

Li Xun smiled, sniffing the faint fragrance lingering in his nose, his mind slowly calmed down.

You Nu sitting at the door was wearing a light, close-fitting soft armor, sitting with her knees hugged against the wall, her body facing outwards, silently watching the ground moving backwards outside the car, she seemed to be completely unaware of the movement behind her, only trembling slightly Her shoulders revealed that her mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

"Can I talk to you?" The soft female voice behind made You Nu's body tremble, she hesitated for a while, and finally turned around slowly.

Two beautiful and graceful women looked at each other across a man who was sleeping soundly, and finally their eyes fell on the young face with a childlike happy smile, and they couldn't help sighing.

...

Novis Principality, Whispering Forest, Evernight City.

This is an untouched primeval forest. In a broad sense, this forest that stretches for thousands of miles along the coastline can be called the Whispering Forest. But the most mysterious of them is still the 300-mile woodland where Dayan Village is located.

Since a mage came to Dayan Village and set up a magical "Mage Tower" on the edge of the forest, this place has become a place that can be firmly remembered by the big people. All the taxes of the villagers have been exempted, and they no longer have to be forced to enter the depths of the Whispering Forest to hunt the beasts that the nobles love to deduct taxes. They can put all their labor income into their own small cellars.

During the day, the hard-working peasants worked hard in the reclaimed land, and the favorite game of the groups of half-children in the village was to go to the mage tower to peek at the big man. All the little guys were amazed to see that huge monster that was as tall as a mountain was emitting green flames all over its body, but it would not ignite the trees around it. Of course, if they were lucky, they would still be able to meet the great magical mage outside the stone tower, a young man who was not a few years older than them.

Therefore, it became their daily game to imitate the master's way of talking and walking, until the wise village chief Mo Ke told them that what they saw was not the greatest Master Li Xun, but the apprentices that Master Li Xun accepted. , but now also a great mage.

This made a group of little guys envious, and they all hoped that one day Master Li Xun would also take a fancy to him and accept him as a disciple, so that he could become a great master mage. Driven by this straight-line thinking, the servants and cooks who come out of the stone pagoda every day to purchase daily necessities and special game have become the targets of everyone's curry favor. Speak a word or two with Master Mage.

The only regret is that in the depths of the woods, the place once occupied by bandits, due to too many dead people and the treatment was not clean enough, a terrifying plague broke out, forming a dead area. The benevolent Master Li Xun came here in time and blocked the source of the plague with magical spells. Only then did the destruction of the Whispering Forest be avoided, and everyone in Dayan Village was saved.

In order to warn everyone not to stray into death, the great master Li Xun marked the safe area with black fog. As long as the hunters and woodcutters in Dayan Village don't get into the mist, they don't have to worry about their own safety. It's a pity that due to the existence of the plague, all the wild beasts in the vicinity have disappeared. If the Orion wants to gain something, he has to go farther.

Every adventurer and mercenary who stays in Dayan Village and intends to explore or hunt in the Whispering Forest will be repeatedly warned by the villagers not to get close to the black mist. But there are always some daredevils with crooked minds, who think that it is a secret laboratory established by a mage, and deliberately write lies to scare the ignorant peasants. So these guys never came back and never came back from the forest.

Already accustomed to the mystery of the black mist in the depths of the forest, the local villagers are gradually losing patience with these ignorant outsiders, and simply put up a simple notice board outside the only hotel in the village. What did you talk about persuading.

On the third day after Li Xun left Novus, a mysterious guy whose whole body was covered by an adventurer's cloak entered Dayan Village.

The notice board in front of the hotel was simple and direct, but this mysterious guy lingered there for a long time, and finally got into the hotel.

When he flicked off his hood in front of the innkeeper, what he showed was a calm and steady white-haired old man. This surprised the innkeeper Thor, who is not suitable for an adventurer or a mercenary at such an age, so he couldn't help opening his mouth, unable to close it for a long time.

But the white-haired old man didn't seem to care about it at all. Instead, he ordered a veal steak with ale, which is often used by travelers, and chatted with Thor while eating. The white-haired old man doesn't need to deliberately inquire about anything. In a remote village with less than a hundred people, how can there be so many novel things to say? The changes brought to Dayan Village are described in detail.

It wasn't until the night fell that the two confidants who had a good talk came to an end temporarily, and the old man took advantage of the opportunity to stay in the hotel.

The mountains go to bed early, and when the last ray of red clouds disappears into the sky, the whole world is plunged into deep darkness.

silence.

Over the past year or so, there have been fewer and fewer small animals in the woodland closest to the village, and even many birds have migrated to deeper jungles. At night, the entire woodland is terribly silent.
