For the gray dwarves, this was just another common trade activity.

He had just completed a big deal with his servants, and was heading towards his warm and comfortable home in Greystone City with great satisfaction. But this did not mean that the gray dwarf would let down his guard. The poisoned crossbow was still tied to his wrist, and it was delicately processed to ensure that he could shoot all the crossbow arrows in front of him with just one finger.

His servants are not trustworthy, and who knows if they will try to seize his position in private. The Underdark is not a place with good reputation. If they think they can disobey him or have the opportunity to replace him, then these bastards will definitely do so.

The same goes for the bear goblins. Although they are stupid and foolish, if they are not allowed to figure out the situation, who knows whether they will choose to rob their employers.

Not to mention the various terrifying monsters that might exist in the Underdark...

Thinking of this, the gray dwarf turned his head and looked behind him. The deep tunnel was in complete darkness except for the part in front of him that was illuminated by the fire, which made people feel uneasy.

The gray dwarf reluctantly withdrew his gaze and focused on his goods again.

No one noticed that death was approaching them quietly and silently.

The bugbears at the end walked with heavy steps, shaking their bear-like heads and yawning from time to time. The heavy footsteps echoed in the tunnel, and nothing else could be heard.

“Puff.”

However, just as the two bear goblins at the back took a step forward, suddenly a sharp, black tail flew down from above their heads and pierced through the heads of the two bear goblins in the blink of an eye. Before they could react, the alien tail swung and wrapped around the necks of the bear goblins, lifting them into the air, and then they were pulled directly into the cave above their heads and disappeared without a trace.

"……?"

Perhaps they had sensed something, the other two bear goblins walking next to the ground beast also turned around and looked behind them. However, before they could see clearly what was behind them, the shadow fell from the sky again, killed them and took them away.

In just a few seconds, more than half of the guards in the entire caravan were gone. However, it was not until this time that the gray dwarves seemed to realize that something was wrong.

He turned his head and looked back again, and suddenly his scalp went numb - he saw that the caravan guards who were supposed to be at the rear were all missing at this moment!

"Damn it... Stop! Stop! Hurry up, you idiots, look behind, what exactly is happening..."

However, before the gray dwarf could finish his words, he saw several black shadows suddenly jump down from the top of the cave and pounce on him! !

“Wow!!”

Faced with these sudden attacks from aliens, the servants of the gray dwarves were also terrified. One of the mages hurriedly raised his staff and tried to cast a spell. However, before he could finish the spell, an alien jumped on him, pinned him to the ground, and then beat him.

Seeing this scene, the gray dwarf's scalp tingled. He immediately raised his right hand, aimed at the alien in front of him and pulled the trigger.

“Da da da da da!!”

The crossbow arrows coated with poison were shot out like machine gun bullets, hitting the bodies of those dark aliens. However, what surprised the gray dwarves was that these crossbow arrows made of fine iron could not even penetrate the shells of these black monsters!

Are you kidding me? What kind of monster is this?

"roar!!"

At this moment, the bugbears in charge of guarding the front also rushed over, waving their weapons and rushing towards the aliens in front of them. When the aliens saw the bugbears, they immediately put down the corpses in their hands and fought with them.

Just when the scene was becoming chaotic, the gray dwarf made a very correct decision.

Turn around and run!

That's right, for the gray dwarf, he knew that this batch of goods was finished. Although those bugbears were strong and powerful, they were definitely not opponents of these damn monsters. So he also hurriedly swung his whip and hit the ground beast under him heavily, scolding him.

Hearing the gray dwarf's scolding, the beasts in the caravan sped up immediately. Although they looked like a fusion of giant crocodiles or lizards, their speed was not satisfactory when they ran at full speed. The gray dwarf controlled the beasts and took advantage of the fight between the bugbears and the aliens to rush out of the battlefield and run deep into the tunnel.

He didn't care who won or lost between the bear goblins and the dark monsters. Of course, it didn't matter to him whether the bear goblins lived or died, and he could also pay less money!

Now I just hope those monsters don't chase after me.

While desperately driving away the earth beasts, the gray dwarf turned his head and looked back. To his relief, there were no dark monsters behind him. It seemed that they were not chasing him at all.

That's good. Although there will be some losses, as long as I return to Greystone City...

“——!!”

However, what the gray dwarf didn't expect was that at this moment, the beast under him suddenly stopped. The gray dwarf obviously didn't expect this situation at all, and there would be no safety belt on the speeding beast. So he immediately followed the rule of inertia and flew out of the beast, then fell heavily to the ground.

"Damn it, you stupid bastards, what are you doing!?"

Fortunately, the gray dwarf's physique is as strong as their cousin the dwarf, so this little injury is just a scratch on his skin. The gray dwarf rolled over and stood up from the ground, rushing towards his earth beast again, beating it hard.

But what puzzled the gray dwarf was that these originally obedient beasts were now lying on the ground motionless, and no matter how he beat and scolded them, they would not move. This immediately made the gray dwarf realize that something was wrong, but at the same time, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

“Da, da, da…”

The gray dwarf turned around and saw several figures emerging from the dark tunnel.

One man and four women, they seem to be humans from the surface.

Are you an adventurer?

The gray dwarves had seen humans who came to the Underdark to adventure before, and most of them were fools, but the people in front of them seemed different. They were not wearing leather armor like the adventurers. Instead, the man walking in front was wearing a dark dress, and the human women behind him were also wearing some light, strange-looking clothes.

Did they think of the Underdark as some kind of outing place?

"Hello, Mr. Gray Dwarf."

Fang Zheng smiled slightly as he looked at the pale-faced gray dwarf in front of him. After hearing Fang Zheng's words, the gray dwarf, who had been tense, seemed to relax a little.

"Hello, I never thought I would see adventurers like you in the Underdark..."

"May I ask what you are doing?"

"I'm resting."

Facing Fang Zheng's question, the gray dwarf did not hesitate at all and lied without hesitation.

"My servants have gone to look for food and water nearby. They will be back soon..."

As he spoke, the gray dwarf secretly glanced behind him. Fortunately, he did not see any strange signs.

"Oh, I see."

After hearing the gray dwarf's answer, Fang Zheng's smile did not change at all.

"Well, I happen to need your help with something."

"help?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"From your appearance, you should be a merchant who travels to the Underdark. We have something to do with the dark elves here. I wonder if you could lead the way?"

"Dark elf?!"

Hearing this, the gray dwarf was startled, and then he shook his head quickly.

"I don't know. I don't know the situation of the dark elves. I'm just an honest businessman. I don't know the way to the dark elf city, but someone knows. If you want to find the dark elves, you can go to Greystone City with me. There are people there who are very familiar with the situation of the dark elves..."

"I hope you can lead the way."

However, Fang Zheng completely ignored the gray dwarf's excuses and directly stated his request.

"Otherwise, you might have some unpleasant experiences."

"What are you talking about? I really don't know..."

However, before the gray dwarf could finish his words, he felt someone patting his shoulder, which made the gray dwarf stunned for a moment, and then he turned his head away.

Then, the gray dwarf saw a dark monster squatting quietly behind him with its mouth open.

“——!”

Looking at the breath that kept opening and closing from the bloody mouth, the gray dwarf felt his body getting hot.

Then he knew nothing.
