Chapter 1237 The Deepest Darkness



There was no light in the dark tunnel.

There was a dead scene everywhere, no water, no light, no plants, only gray caves and the occasional sound of dripping water.

But no one knows what is hidden in this darkness.

"The Underdark is a different place."

Fang Zheng walked in the front. Although he didn't hold a torch or cast any spells, his eyes could still easily penetrate the darkness. The four people who followed Fang Zheng this time all had excellent night vision and didn't need a light source. Even Homura Akemi, because she was a member of Fang Zheng's clan, had the dark vision of the dragon clan. Therefore, for her, there was no danger at all.

They followed Fang Zheng like this, walking on the uneven ground while listening to Fang Zheng's introduction.

"There are almost no good things in the Underdark... Well, at least that's what the records in the White Tower say. The only ones who are relatively friendly to us here are probably the dwarves and rock elves."

"What is a rock spirit?"

Hearing this, Walnut asked curiously. Walnut had seen dwarves several times during her adventures, but rock elves were still new to her.

"To put it simply, it means that the rock has become a spirit."

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"But unfortunately, there is no way for the rock elves to communicate with us. You can treat them as rocks that can only move by themselves. The dwarf city is on the top of the ice and snow... Well, if I am not mistaken, then the cities below should be those of the dark elves and gray dwarves. There may even be mind suckers... In short, these are not good things. Just kill them if you see them."

"Just...kill him?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"It depends."

Fang Zheng curled his lips.

"Gray dwarves are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as you show them your great strength, they won't even fart. But dark elves and illithids are different. The former believe that they are the noblest race in the dark region and are qualified to rule over all creatures. If you are caught, you might become their slaves. As for the illithids, it's hard to say. They will try to control any life and turn it into their slave."

Having said this, Fang Zheng glanced at everyone.

"You must be careful of the mind-sucking monsters. The brainwashing of these monsters is rooted in the subconscious. You won't even feel anything strange. You will sincerely believe that serving them is your pride and honor. You will be happy to be their slaves - until they pry open your skull and suck your brains."

“Woo…”

Hearing this, Walnut couldn't help but shudder.

"Is this so dangerous?"

"Don't worry, I have already cast a spell to protect your mind in your personal terminals. The mind suckers will not affect you."

Fang Zheng also comforted Hu Tao. If there is any difference after becoming a god, it is that he can mobilize divine power to cast some spells. These spells cannot be broken unless there is a being with divine power. This is why Fang Zheng brought the four people to the Underdark.

As the saying goes, a skilled person is a daring one... Only when you are strong enough will you not worry about capsizing in a haunted place like the Underdark.

While introducing the situation of the Underdark to the four people, Fang Zheng recalled what the elf sisters had told him.

After that incident, the elves enjoyed a period of peace, but unfortunately the good times did not last long. Before long, they were attacked by the dark elves from the Underdark.

Dark elves have been attacking elves for a long time. Every time when dark elf students graduate from their evil academy, their "graduation exam" is to launch a successful attack on elves. Such attacks usually start late at night and end in the early morning.

The elves were obviously already familiar with this kind of attack. In fact, during the first dark elf raid, they successfully defended their village.

But what the elves didn't expect was that their fallen compatriots didn't retreat like before. Instead, they came back on the second night with more troops. This time, facing the fierce attack and sneak attack of the dark elves, the elves finally couldn't hold on. Many of them were captured by the dark elves and taken back to the depths of the dark region.

Because of this, the Elf Tribe has stepped up its vigilance. No one knows what the Dark Elves want to do by taking the captives back. After all, generally speaking, the Dark Elves will only choose to slaughter their distant relatives on the surface instead of taking them back.

This is obviously not in line with the dark elves' usual style.

The elves also hoped to rescue their compatriots, but the Underdark was too dangerous for the elves, so they originally planned to ask the dwarves for help. However, Fang Zheng was obviously willing to take a risk for these elves, since it was on the way anyway.

And for some reason, Fang Zheng always felt that the unusual attack of the dark elves might be related to the reduction in the value of the Order Guardian Device. After all, judging from the time, the two were very close, and... they were both in the Underdark.

This is more than just a coincidence.

"Um?"

When Fang Zheng reached the entrance of another tunnel, he was stunned and stopped. Then, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and whistled.

Soon, several strange black shadows flew out from the dark cave and came in front of Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng went to the Underdark with natural preparation. In addition to the other four people, Fang Zheng also brought a special combat unit for the Underdark.

Nothing is better suited for this position than the Alien.

"Go and see what's ahead."

Fang Zheng gave an order in a low voice, and the aliens turned around quickly. With the sound of "swish", they disappeared into the depths of the dark tunnel in the blink of an eye.

Soon, Fang Zheng sensed the movements of the aliens through the Zerg's mental network. He closed his eyes and quickly connected with the alien exploring the way ahead. Soon, Fang Zheng saw a scene clearly.

In the tunnel in the distance, a team was advancing cautiously, led by several sturdy bugbears, holding torches in one hand and crude weapons in the other, swaggering like drunkards. Behind them was a caravan consisting of three ground beasts, with a dwarf sitting on the front ground beast. From the outside, he seemed to be similar to the dwarves in the Ice and Snow Summit, but his ghostly look and his gray skin like cement had already betrayed his identity.

Gray dwarf.

Very good, a perfect goal.

Seeing the caravan through the alien, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

So the next question is how to deal with these treacherous and cunning gray dwarves.

Of course, a small attack might make these gray dwarves put aside their inappropriate thoughts.

But as a god and a paladin, Fang Zheng cannot do such a thing.

So he decisively withdrew the mental connection and told the alien.

They can move as they please.

As for what the alien did, Fang Zheng had no idea.

After all, this has nothing to do with him.
