Chapter 280 The Builder of the Underground World

The team landed on a ground covered with mushrooms that looked like small grapes. The largest dragon's butt pressed against a small mushroom. Unexpectedly, the thing directly erupted into a cloud of green smoke.

The giant dragon turned back, smelled the green mist, and reported: "This mushroom will spray acid when broken into pieces. This green thing is acid mist."

Elizabeth: "We seem to be surrounded by this sour fruit. Isn't the situation very dangerous now?"

Wang: "It's nothing. The acid is not strong. It can at most dissolve clothes that have not been woven with magic. Nini's maid outfit that can resist physical attacks is probably fine."

Elizabeth looked down at her robe.

Wang: "If you are afraid, you can ride on me. It seems that although we are underground, the space is quite large. I don't have to rush to cancel the dragon form."

Marika: "Let's move to a place that's not in danger of being flooded by the acid mist, and then I'll explore the situation."

The dwarf pointed to the ground nearby where mushrooms emitting blue-purple light gathered: "Go over there. The fluorescent mushrooms are harmless and the most common fungi in the dark area. Anything that emits this light is basically this kind of thing. variant."

Wang used his short claws to directly pick up Elizabeth and Flint, who were unable to maneuver, and strode towards the ground of the blue-purple mushrooms.

Nini quickly jumped onto the king's back, while the barbarian jumped directly towards the blue and purple.

When he landed, something jumped out of the mushrooms and flew into the surrounding shadows.

Elizabeth screamed, "Spider!"

Dwarf: "Don't panic, these are rock spiders that hunt small creatures underground. They are not interested in large creatures like us—large creatures like you."

Xiaobai hung on the king's neck and looked sideways at the dwarf caught in the king's hand: "You mean you are a small creature?"

"Kailin's horns, you are also small." The dwarf retorted unceremoniously.

Xiaobai: "I can get bigger."

Flint: "I..."

Wang: "You can do it too, to a certain extent."

Elizabeth looked at the dwarf in shock: "Do you still have this function?"

Her Royal Highness has only knowledge and has never seen the real thing. She can't react at once, and she can't get the point of this dirty joke.

After finally leaving the territory of the Acid Mist Mushroom, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the speaking stone in Elizabeth's arms rang.

Elizabeth patted the king's paw: "You pressed the sound stone in my arms, and I can't get it out."

Wang then lifted one finger, but the other fingers were still holding Elizabeth tightly.

"Hey?"

As soon as Elizabeth spoke, Rosalie's voice came anxiously from the sound stone: "Are you okay? We first observed the black dragon returning to its nest, and then not long after the black dragon entered the nest, all the birds in the forest below suddenly took flight. .

"Then the sounding stone that kept calling the king didn't respond!"

Elizabeth glanced at Wang: "He is in dragon form now and can't take out the items on his body. As you know, when he transforms into a dragon, everything on his body will automatically adapt to this transformation, and he can't take out anything."

Wang: "This is some kind of protection mechanism. It would be funny if everything on the dragon's body fell out if it didn't change. The creator of the dragon shape magic has thought it through carefully."

"Don't care whether he has thought it through or not, where are you people? How long will it take to get out?" Rosalie's tone could be heard to be very anxious.

Wang: "What happened?"

"No, everything is normal on the floating island. Can't I worry about you?"

Wang: "Okay, okay, you can!"

"So how are you doing? How is the black dragon? If the king is in dragon form, then he turns into a dragon and fights with it, right?"

Elizabeth looked at the king's dragon face and raised the speaking stone in her hand with a "you tell me" expression.

Wang looked around: "The good news is that we are all fine, even the unlucky Flint is fine. The bad news is that we were sent into the Underdark by the collapse of the cave. Damn it, this idiot black dragon built his lair in the Underdark." It’s on the regional channel.”

Flint exclaimed: "There are many shaft-like entrances that lead directly to the ground in the Dark Area. These entrances are generally difficult to find, but you can always encounter them inexplicably during adventures. To be honest, when I was in the Fetal Movement Hall before, I I thought we were going straight to the Underdark." Rosalie asked anxiously from the sounding stone, "Then how long will it take for you to come up?"

Wang raised the dwarf in his hand a little higher, meaning "You are an expert on the underground, please tell me." However, Marika, who was also familiar with the underground situation, spoke first: "This is the dark area. You only need to find a hole and jump down." , it is difficult to go up.

"Even experts like Chaozi and I who are very familiar with the underground don't know when we can climb up, let alone how far away we are from our current location."

Rosalie in the sound stone was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "Then we will wait for you floating here. Anyway, without the king and Elizabeth, there is no way to control the floating island. I will work with Master Li Guang, and Ms. Atori of the church and Knight Teresa will protect this island together."

Wang: "Don't forget there is Gaines."

Rosalie: "Oh yeah, there's Gaines."

At this time, Gaines's lamentation was faintly heard from the sound stone: "Oh my god, does that mean there will be no free supply of spirits before Kailin's envoy comes back?"

Flint: "Kailin's horn, it's like I'm a brewer and am good for nothing but brewing!"

Wang: "In short, this is the situation. It's up to you, Rosalie."

Rosalie was silent for a second and replied: "Leave it to me. I will do my best to protect your floating city."

"Yes." Wang responded.

Then the light of the magic emblem on the sounding stone dimmed, and it was obvious that Rosalie had cut off the communication.Elizabeth took back the hand that held the sounding stone high, and used her free hand to rub her already numb muscles.

Wang: "Let's set off quickly!"

Marika: "Wait a minute. The Underdark is very dangerous. I suggest you camp here first, and I'll spend a day investigating it. From now on, try to move forward at a pace that takes half a day to camp and half a day to advance."

Wang: "Wouldn't that be too much of a burden on you? You would be conducting reconnaissance while we were resting, and you would have to be the guard when we were advancing."

Marika smiled: "This is the Underdark, and I am a drow. I feel like I'm home here."

Flint said: "Her suggestion is right."

Marika turned to the surface elf Nini: "On the ground, let me confirm, your vision here...is still as good as on the ground?"

Nini replied: "It's okay. The light here is actually not too dark, and I can see most places clearly."

Elizabeth continued: "As a human, I can have a decent vision here."

"No, Your Highness!" Malika stared at Elizabeth seriously, "In the dark area, human vision is unreliable. You must have dark vision, or Nini's vision is so sharp that she only needs a little light to have a clear vision. It’s so reliable.”

Elizabeth drew her neck back slightly: "Okay."

Xiaobai: "Let me explain first that I'm not very familiar with underground creatures, so I can't change them. I can only transform into a bear to fight. If you want to change into an underground creature, you have to let me find one."

Wang: "You can also transform into a creature with external bones? Many underground creatures are like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook.

It's the kind of tremor that's very slight, but just enough for people to notice.

Flint looked up at the dust that kept falling from the ceiling and exclaimed: "Everyone, I think you will soon meet the builders of the Underdark, the creators of these huge underground cavities."

After he finished speaking, the fluorescence emitted by a field of underground fungi in the distance suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the tremor just now turned into an obvious shaking.

Elizabeth was shocked: "What happened? Why did the light disappear?"

Dwarf: "Because it was swallowed by a giant thing, princess, can't you see the thing that is passing in front of us?"

Elizabeth: "What?"

Wang described what he saw: "A huge earthworm, its body nested in segments was constantly squirming."

Dwarf: "That thing is a distant relative of the dwarf worm cavalry. It uses its mouthparts to crush rocks and swallow them into its belly to absorb the organic matter and minerals. The good news is that as long as we follow this thing, we will definitely find the water source in the Underdark. No need to I’m worried about replenishing the water.”

Marika: "I'll go scout first while you guys set up camp."
