Chapter 169 006: Underground
"Come with us!"
"We'll get you there soon."
The two little squirrels hopped forward, and Luo Xi quickly called them: "Wait a minute."
"What is it, my Lord?"
"Anything else to say?"
Luo Xi pointed at Nilu below and said, "Go to my friend's back, it will be faster this way."
If a squirrel with short legs follows, it will take a long time to reach the destination.
But the squirrel shook his head and said, "No, no, we'll be there soon."
Luo Xi asked doubtfully, "Soon?"
Judging from the map, they are at least several hundred miles away from the coordinates.
The squirrel gestured and explained: "We can go through the tree hole."
"Tree hole, tree hole, whoosh, from one end of the tree to the other end."
Tree hole?
Is there any quick way to teleport in this forest?
"But your friend is too big to fit into the tree hole. You can only leave him here."
Luo Xi said, "Oh, that's okay, Nilu!"
He gave an order to Nilu, and Nilu's body suddenly twisted and transformed into a little kitten. She nimbly flew up and down the tree a few times and soon landed in Luo Xi's arms.
Luo Xi said: "Is there no problem now?"
"Oh! Magic, magic!"
"Of course, please come with us."
Following the two little squirrels all the way forward, after passing through several large tree trunks, we came to a giant tree. There was a big tree hole at the root of the tree.
The little squirrel crawled into the tree hole.
Luo Xi looked at the tree hole curiously. He didn't sense any strong spatial fluctuations from it, and it didn't seem to be any spatial magic. At this moment, as if seeing that Luo Xi was still not coming in, the little squirrel stuck its head out and urged him, "Come in, come in quickly."
"Oh well."
Luo Xi walked forward and crawled into the tree hole. Although this tree hole was much larger than ordinary tree holes, it was still a bit narrow compared to Luo Xi's height. It was only about a few dozen centimeters. It took Luo Xi some effort to crawl in.
It was dark in front of his eyes at first, but after his eyes adjusted, Luo Xi gradually saw the surrounding scenery clearly.
It was like being in a cave somewhere, with sparse and twisted roots everywhere, and some strange little ladybugs crawling on the roots. The spots on their backs glowed, illuminating the place like fireflies.
The little squirrel was hopping and skipping in front, so Luo Xi had a hard time and could only squeeze behind and crawl slowly.
"Just get past this point, just get past this point."
"We'll be there soon."
After crawling forward for three to five minutes, they finally reached a cave entrance with light in front of them. After coming out of the cave, the scene in front of them made Luo Xi stunned.
It was like entering another world. This was a very large internal space. Above the head was thick soil and dense roots. Huge roots with a diameter of several meters passed through the soil and went deep into the ground. From a distance, it looked like ancient giant pythons living underneath.
“This root.”
Luo Xi's sight fell on the criss-crossing roots, in which there was an unusually thick tree root, which was estimated to be several dozen meters in diameter. This huge root almost penetrated the entire underground, and it was endless as it undulated.
World species! There must be a world species here! This size of roots has far exceeded the category of giant species and reached the level of world species.
Nilu looked at the tree roots, her eyes becoming alert: "It's this smell, the smell I smelled outside the forest, it's terrible."
It turns out that what I sensed was the World Seed. No wonder. The power of the World Seed is equivalent to the level of the Holy Mark, which is several levels higher than Nilu. It is natural that she instinctively feels terror in front of such a powerful person.
"This is A Duo La! A Duo La!" At this moment, the little squirrel explained.
Luo Xi asked, "Aduola?"
The little squirrel nodded: "It is the most powerful being here, it is our god, Master Wizard, do you want to meet him?"
Luo Xi hesitated: "Is it far?"
The squirrel said, "It's not far. We'll be there soon. We can also pass by there when we head towards the Black Swamp."
Luo Xi nodded: "In that case, let's go and take a look."
This kind of creature is rare in the world. Luo Xi had only seen it in books before. Now that there is such an opportunity, he should go and take a look.
Anyway, the deadline for the task assigned to him by the alliance is seven days later, so he has plenty of time.
"Come, come here."
At this moment, the little squirrel led Luo Xi to a tree root, and a squirrel immediately jumped onto the root.
“Hoohoo!”
This tree root seemed to have some strange magical power. The moment the squirrel jumped on it, a huge amount of wind elements swept in from all directions and wrapped up the little squirrel. The little squirrel wrapped in the wind element slid down quickly along the tree root like a ball.
“So fast!”
The little squirrel wrapped in the wind element slid at an incredibly fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it slid from one end of the tree root to the other. Luo Xi estimated that the length of this piece of tree root was probably six or seven hundred meters long.
The remaining little squirrel pointed at the root of the tree and said, "Jump up, just like Poker, jump up."
Luo Xi nodded and then squatted down and sat on the tree roots like a slide. Just like the squirrel before, the moment he landed on the tree roots, the strange wind energy swept in from all directions and wrapped him up.
“Hoohoo!~”
A strong wind blew over, and Luo Xi only heard a strong whistling sound in his ears. He seemed to be on a super-high-speed track, and everything in front of him blurred in an instant. When his vision recovered, he had already arrived at another section of the tree trunk.
Two little squirrels surrounded Luo Xi's feet and wagged their big tails. "We didn't lie to you, did we? Master Wizard! Is it going to be very fast?"
Luo Xi nodded: "Indeed, it's as fast as flying."
"Let's keep going. There are still many tree roots to pass."
Following the two little squirrels, they shuttled from one tree root to another. The shortest one was about six or seven hundred meters, and the longest one was several thousand meters or even more than ten kilometers. These tree roots crisscrossed here to form a dense transportation network. From time to time, Luo Xi could see other creatures shuttling back and forth on other tree roots.
This should be part of the underground world, right?
The sky, the ocean, the surface, and the underground, each of the four worlds has its own unique place. For Luo Xi, exploring the underground world is what he has always wanted to do.
But this is probably just the tip of the iceberg of the underground world. The real underground world is probably much more exciting and rich than this...
