Chapter 486: Maple Leaf Underground World Tour (Part )
After more than twenty years of development, many adventure groups have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, taking root deeply in the dark underground world and establishing solid strongholds. They enslave the indigenous people in the underground world and greedily exploit precious mineral resources.
Heading northwest for a hundred kilometers, this section is relatively safe.
However, once you step out of the safe area, fierce fighting ensues.
Suddenly, an underground worm burst out of the ground. With lightning speed, it swallowed a silver low-level adventurer into its belly, then quickly burrowed into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
Several other adventurers could only watch helplessly as their companions were devoured, angry but powerless, they could only roar in pain.
A few hundred meters away, Weilin witnessed this thrilling scene with his own eyes and couldn't help but sigh for the dangerous environment.
"Lord, a bigger one is coming." Kyle came to Verin's side and said softly.
Weilin's eyes were fixed on the ground, and he saw a vibration. It was obvious that a larger underground worm was about to break out of the ground.
In an instant, a behemoth with a diameter of five meters broke out of the ground, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the four adventurers in one gulp.
Its sticky white juice exudes a disgusting stench.
"hiss--"
The piercing screams echoed around, as if they could pierce people's eardrums.
The underground worm twisted its body, its two green eyes staring greedily at Verin and Kyle.
"Kill it."
Kyle acted upon hearing the order, stretched out his hands, and shook them gently.
The underground worm, which was so arrogant just now, was instantly squeezed by the invisible force and became unable to move.
The next moment, the heart and brain of the underground worm were crushed, and its huge body fell to the ground helplessly, raising waves of dust.
"And a small one."
Kyle let go of his senses and soon discovered the escaping underground worms.
He struck without mercy and directly crushed the opponent's heart and brain.
Immediately afterwards, Kyle took out two magic cores from the bodies of two underground worms.
Although Kael had cleaned the green juice off the cores, Verin still found the cores disgusting.
The energy density of the small magic core is equivalent to that of the intermediate magic crystal, while the larger one is slightly lower than the high-level magic crystal, with a total value of no more than 100,000 gold coins.
"Let's go."
Bypassing the disgusting corpse of the underground worm, the two men continued to advance northwestward without stopping.
Time passed quietly, and several adventurers came here after a long journey. They were surprised to find the corpse of the underground worm.
"Thank you for the blessing of the God of Life." A priest bowed his head piously and recited the scripture silently.
Several other people also followed suit, thanked the gods for their gifts, and then began to collect the extraordinary materials available from the underground worms.
"Boss, we can sell at least five thousand gold coins this time and make a fortune!" An adventurer shouted excitedly, ignoring the stinking slime and holding the peeled off skin of an underground worm in his hand.
"Stop yelling and get to work quickly. The longer the delay, the more likely accidents will happen." The middle-aged man emerged from the underground worm, threw away the undigested stumps and broken arms, and urged anxiously.
At this moment, beside an underground river, Verin and Kyle were lying quietly in the distance, choosing suitable mounts.
"My lord, have you chosen which shadow wolf to use as your mount?"
"I'll take another look." Weilin seemed a little hesitant, because these shadow wolves were all about the same size, and each one was majestic, which made it really difficult for him to make a choice.
"Why don't you choose the one on the left?" Kyle suggested, pointing to the black and white shadow wolf.
Weilin looked in the direction of Kyle's finger and felt that it was indeed very good.
"Kyle, grab the one on the left, the third one in the middle, and the second one on the right. Use one as a mount, and take the other two back for breeding."
After receiving the instructions, Kyle immediately took action.
Feeling the threat from behind, the twenty-eight shadow wolves raised their heads in unison and turned their heads warily.
They saw a blond human who was as terrifying as the Grim Reaper, speeding towards them.
"Ouch——"
With a roar, twenty-eight shadow wolves dispersed like frightened birds and fled in different directions.
How could a mere terrifying human being compete with their twenty-eight powerful tribesmen? The advantage was obviously on their side.
Looking at the decisive Wolf King, Kyle was shocked at first, then came to his senses and immediately imprisoned four shadow wolves, including the Shadow Wolf King.
"Ouch?"
A white-haired shadow wolf looked down at his body and kept retreating. There was a look of astonishment on the wolf's face. It didn't understand why it was running forward while its body was retreating.
After a while, four shadow wolves were brought to Verin.
Weilin reached out and touched the white-haired shadow wolf, which felt very good.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"
The white-haired shadow wolf looked at the black-haired human in front of him. Although he wanted to resist in his heart, his body was out of control. He could only keep wagging his tail and succumbed to the coercion of the blond human.
"You are the one."
Verin chose his mount, summoned the Druid's Book, and took the other two female shadow wolves into the space in the book.
Seeing his tribe members being "swallowed" by a book, the white-haired shadow wolf was so frightened that he clamped his tail and let out a whine.
"Let's set off. There is still a straight-line distance of four hundred kilometers. There is a long way to go." The caves in the dark world are as intricate as a maze. Without this map, I am afraid it will take a lot of time to find the route.
In less than half a day, the white-haired shadow wolf forgot about his people and ran happily in the dark world.
Although it was a little sad about the tribe being "eaten" by books, this human brought out a lot of delicious fruits that it had never tasted before, making it quickly forget about this unpleasant incident.
Even the wolf king was serving the blond human heartlessly, and the white-haired shadow wolf forgave himself instantly.
With the shadow wolf as a mount, the speed of traveling has been increased several times.
After traveling 800 kilometers, the two stopped at a cave and began to re-plan their route.
Weilin put down the map helplessly and sighed: "This place is still 80 kilometers away from the destination in a straight line, and the known boundary of the map is here. From now on, we can only rely on ourselves."
"Lord, tomorrow I will go capture the lord of this city-state and lead us the way."
Kyle pointed at the small city-state established by the dark elves on the map and suggested.
"It can only be this way."
After eight hours of rest, Verin waited quietly in the cave while Kyle went to capture the lord of the dark elf city-state.
