Alien world

Chapter 373 31. Dark Lamp Town

The dark and oppressive underground world makes people want to leave this oppressive environment.

"Is it difficult to return to the surface?" The students thought it would be easy to get out of the bottom nest.

In fact, the bottom nest is easy to come in and difficult to get out.Many people who are determined to enter the bottom nest have difficulty surviving on the surface and are forced to survive in the depths, as if the invisible quagmire dragged them into the abyss that made people sink, and layers of invisible rules restricted them from turning back.

Here is the penultimate layer, which means "the second worst".

"Where is our foot?"

"Dark Light Town!"

"I mean the floor below the feet."

"That's the place of exile..." The local people saw the young rat man wearing a mage's robe behind Annan at this time, and said in panic, "Why did you bring the rat man here!"

It appears that the Bottoms have divided themselves from the Ratmen.

"What happened to them?" Annan asked.

The locals said it was because of the curse and pollution.

Those blasphemous dusts appear every once in a while, and the deeper they go, the more serious they become.They breathe, touch, and eat uncontrollably ingesting dust.For example, now that the dust is filling the air, the locals wear masks on their faces.

There are only two ways to escape: leave the bottom nest, or go to the upper layer.

"I know that the imperial capital dumps all domestic waste into the bottom nest, and there are warlocks and lichs doing evil experiments here. This is how the poisonous fog should come out..." Amy whispered.

Annan is obliged to rectify the name of warlocks: "Warlocks never study, but mages do."

Those polluted bottom nest people have survived and reproduced from generation to generation, and mutated under the dust pollution, which became more and more serious. In the end, even the bottom nest people couldn't accommodate these ghosts, and exiled them to place of exile.

The tone of the locals was indifferent.This is Bottomhive, and dead people are more common than food, and he was killed by something else before the poisonous mist killed him.

"Have you ever met anyone like us?"

"I have seen."

"When?"

"Now."

"...except us?"

"No..." The local shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on the Jinnar.

Annan still has many problems, but they are being exposed to the dust, put away the kinnar, exchange it for a silver coin and toss it to the locals.

"It's not the same as what we said!"

"You just asked me to take out a gold coin, and you didn't say to give it to you." Annan said calmly, "Giving you Jinnar will get you into trouble. I'll give you the silver coin first, and follow us."

The locals said nothing and just walked ahead in a muffled voice to lead the way.

"Have you been here?" Alice asked in a low voice.

"No, I lied to him."

Annan returned to normal: "Tell us about the bottom nest."

The second-to-last layer below your feet is called the dawn layer—meaning the place closest to darkness.

Bottom hives like to spruce up their surroundings so they don't look so bad.For example, the third layer is called the treasure layer, because that is where the surface dumps garbage.

When it comes to treasures, the locals' eyes are bright, and they say that there are always lucky treasure diggers who get rich overnight, but many treasure spots are controlled by big shots.

Another example is the second level of revelation. It is said that the security there is comparable to that on the surface, and there is also a commercial street. There is no need to worry about having your head smashed while walking on the road, and there is no need to worry about being stripped naked and thrown into the street when you are drunk.

"Have you ever been there?"

"No, but all the Bottom Hive people say that, they will never lie to themselves... I still remember my childhood dream of being a treasure digger on the treasure floor and buying a house on the enlightenment floor..."

One silver coin earned by the surface people a day will take a week or more in the bottom nest, and the attitude of the local people has become enthusiastic to the naked eye.

In the dawn layer, it is early morning at the top and late night at the bottom. Only "towns" have a weak order, such as the Dark Light Town in front.But if you really believe that the town will punish the bad guys, you will only be eaten to the bone - fortunately, such a naive person will not survive now.

The wilderness outside the town is relatively safe. At most, there are some cavemen and kobolds wandering around who don't know where they come from, but they can't stop killing them.The real danger is in the nests.There are those composed of cavemen and kobolds, as well as humans and rat people.

The locals said that he was once captured by the "expedition team" in Dark Lantern Town to attack the newborn Ratmen's lair, where sticks were used to stick corpses drying everywhere, there were humans and Ratmen... He lamented that only a few survived that expedition , he is one of them.

"Why didn't you resist?" someone asked.

"What are you talking about..." The locals swallowed back the 'silly words': "If we were so powerful, we wouldn't come to the bottom nest."

The outline of Dark Lantern Town gradually became clear. A group of dilapidated shacks made of broken planks and stones formed a gathering place called a small town. Ragged silhouettes walked on the uneven streets.

The young mages who had only dusted off the climbing pillars were like stars in the night sky.

There are locals who run away when they see them, and locals who get closer.

The locals pulled out sharpened iron pieces and told them to roll away.

"Gray wolf!"

But the people he knew couldn't be driven away.A young man with cloth strips around his waist shouted: "I am a wild dog!"

"I know."

The gray wolf allowed the wild dogs to approach.The approaching wild dog first flattered Annan and the others with a nondescript courtesy, and then asked them what they needed.

He looks smarter than Gray Wolf.

Annan told him: "Two things, we are looking for the golden invitation letter, and the witch doctor."

"We know where the witch doctor is! Gray Wolf, take the nobles to the witch doctor. I'll ask Jin... Jin..."

"Invitation card."

"Where is the golden invitation!"

The gray wolf was surprised by the wild dog's attitude, and was pulled aside by the wild dog: "Idiots. They are surface people."

"I know, they won't take me back to the surface."

The gray wolf knows that they are not easy to mess with, so he only cares about the gold coins.

"But it can take us to other layers!" The wild dog's whisper made the gray wolf shut up.

This is the dawn level, the place closest to darkness... Even if he only goes up one level, he can survive for a long time.

When the two locals muttered, Amy reminded her companions in a low voice: "Beware of conspiracy."

They have only seen Annan summon a few elite elements, and it shouldn't be enough to fight against the forces of the bottom hive... Only Alice, who knows Annan's ability, is silent.

When Annan was serious, the Imperial Ceremony Department had to beg him not to destroy the bottom nest - provided that Mr. Swallow and the people from Typhoon Shelter Town were summoned.

Speaking of Bifengtang Town... Do you want Olmedo and the others to occupy the magpie's nest and become the shadow of the imperial capital?
Forget it, the etiquette department must be watching them, and the environment of the bottom nest is too harsh.

Gray Wolf stuck back, flattered him a lot, and even wanted to return the silver coins.

"This is for you." Annan said so, but he still took back the silver coins: "I promise you. Next, I will do things for us, and the reward is that I will bring you to the upper layer, even the surface."
