Survival for All: I Can Extract the Essence of All Things.

Chapter 267 Redeeming the Gods, Journey into Darkness!
"Chief, get up and have something to eat!"

Li Qiangjun opened his eyes amidst the shouts of his men.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up. As he looked around in confusion, everything that happened yesterday began to quickly appear in his mind.

After a while, Li Qiangjun breathed a sigh of relief.

He rubbed his somewhat swollen and painful temples with two fingers, looked at the men in front of him and said:
"How long have I slept?"

"I don't know, but it's already daytime outside the cave, and it shouldn't be long until noon."

Li Qiangjun could clearly see the longing and anxiety in his men's eyes.

Yesterday's encounter with the Lord of Lingxiao Pavilion was quite fantasy, and many people felt that it was a bit unreal.

As the appointed time gradually arrived, the humans in the cave were both excited and uneasy.

In the hearts of these people who have experienced tremendous torture, Lingxiao Village is their only hope.

If the master of Lingxiao Pavilion fails to arrive as agreed, Li Qiangjun feels that his men will gradually fall into doubt and collapse.

So subconsciously, Li Qiangjun looked at the stone platform not far behind him.

After discovering that Xiao Xiao was still sitting there with his legs crossed, he felt a little calmer.

"I slept too long."

Li Qiangjun scolded himself, looked at the food handed to him by his men, licked his lips in the direction of the owl, and asked:
"Have you had dinner there, Master Xiao?"

"No." The subordinate said to Li Qiangjun with a strange look in his eyes, "We prepared food for him, but they were all rejected. However, he has taken a kind of elixir, which may be able to satisfy his hunger."

After hearing what his men said, Li Qiangjun glanced at Xiao again.

Then he took the food, quickly disposed of it, inspected the camp and the status of the injured, and then began to walk out of the cave with some uncontrollable anxiety.

Compared to the dark and obscure light inside the cave, the light in the outside world is a bit stronger.

Li Qiangjun squinted his eyes and walked out of the cave, greedily breathing in the fresh air outside while observing the sky.

It's about nine o'clock in the morning now, and there are still nearly three hours until noon.

With nothing to do, the Cangliu villagers began to hunt nearby or collect materials.

While waiting outside the cave, everyone would be amazed every time a bird flew across the sky in the distance.

But time and time again, those wonders turned into disappointment.

Because those flying birds were not Lin Xiao's leaders, and there was no one on their backs.

This made the Cangliu villagers feel that three hours was so long and extremely difficult.

Moreover, as time went by, more and more Cangliu villagers came outside the cave.

They couldn't wait to leave this nightmare place and looked forward to the direction Lin Xiao left.

-

Finally, with a chirping sound that echoed across the sky, a black figure emerged from the clouds in the distance and dived rapidly in the direction of the cave.

The many previous disappointments did not make everyone lose hope.

They stared blankly as the black spot got closer and closer, and its shape gradually expanded in their sight.

When the figure on the bird's back appeared, the Cangliu villagers gathered outside the cave immediately became excited.

"There is someone on the back of the bird!"

"I saw!"

"It's him, the Lord of Lingxiao Pavilion!"

"He's here! He's really here! He's here to pick us up!"

"Long live the Lord of Lingxiao Pavilion!"

"Woo~ We finally found our home!"

Shouts of excitement, tears of excitement.

Some people kept waving their hands to Lin Xiao, while others knelt on the ground and worshiped.

The Cangliu villagers looked at Lin Xiao, who was gradually approaching on the back of a leader, as if they were welcoming the arrival of a saint.

No one knows what a cruel experience they have encountered in the past week.

They are imprisoned and controlled by the mind flayers like livestock.

Acts as food, toys, experiments, and breeding grounds for the mind flayers.
They had witnessed the skulls of one of their compatriots being lifted up, and their brains were being sucked alive by the Mind Flayer amid screams and fear.

There were many people who were not mentally strong enough and went crazy after seeing the bloody and terrifying scenes.

Then, monsters called brain-eating monsters emerged from their heads.

There are also people who are unfortunately selected and become a parasitic breeding ground for the mind flayer tadpoles.

Feeling the monster eating away at my brain bit by bit and growing bigger and bigger inside my body.

Finally, digest yourself from the inside out, leaving nothing behind.
Just thinking about those experiences makes people shudder.

The surviving villagers of Cangliu met their rescuers amidst this endless fear.

Lin Xiao's two appearances first helped them break through the prison of darkness, and then lit up a beacon of hope for them.

It wasn't until this moment that they felt they had truly been saved.

And Lin Xiao, who traveled thousands of miles on a bird, was the god who saved them from this nightmare!
boom!
The giant fell to the ground, his huge body making a muffled sound.

Lin Xiao jumped off his back and was surrounded by people swarming over.

Everyone said hello to Lin Xiao, but they all kept a distance of about one meter from Lin Xiao to avoid bumping into Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao answered everyone's questions and gradually calmed down the crowd.

After seeing Li Qiangjun, he waved him over and then announced to everyone:
“I organized a team to pick you up, but it will take a while to get here.

Qiangjun, please arrange for everyone to pack up.

The journey is long and bumpy, and you may encounter enemies during the journey.

Be it food, water, equipment, or medicine, you must be fully prepared. "

While talking, Lin Xiao took out a batch of weapons and potions from his backpack.

This was something he brought out from the Lingxiao Pavilion warehouse early in the morning.

Most of the weapons were seized from foreign races, and their quality was much better than those obtained by Cangliu villagers.

Li Qiangjun did not hesitate at all to Lin Xiao's order, and immediately arranged manpower to start distributing equipment and medicine.

And be prepared to have enough water and food before the rescue team arrives.

At the same time, Li Qiangjun also sent someone to guide Lin Xiao to take stock of the materials they collected last night.

Lin Xiao ordered them to collect more fluorite and the unique flora and fauna of the cave, and the Cangliu villagers burst out with great enthusiasm for work.

When Lin Xiao saw the mountain of materials piled up, he was slightly stunned.

The Cangliu villagers were afraid that they had collected all the materials in the first half of the cave.

Putting all those materials into the space backpack, Lin Xiao found an opportunity to create a new incarnation and replaced the Xiao avatar.Lin Xiao's trip was not only to rescue Li Qiangjun and others, but also had other purposes.

After bidding farewell to the Fox Caravan, Lin Xiao was even prepared not to return to Lingxiao Village in the short term.

And the two avatars he created will return to Lingxiao Village to take charge——
Finally, at almost three o'clock in the afternoon, the rescue team arrived.

Along with a long deer cry, thousands of wild deer monsters appeared near the cave.

Lin Xiao, who heard Fei Lian's cry, led the Cangliu villagers who were already prepared out of the cave.

Seeing the tall Fei Lian, the villagers in Cangliu were all surprised.

And when Fei Lian bowed to Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao's image in the hearts of the Cangliu villagers suddenly became a bit more sacred.

"Brother Jun!"

Amidst the shouts, Wei Qing and others jumped off their mounts and ran excitedly towards Li Qiangjun and others.

Seeing Wei Qing and others, Li Qiangjun and the Cangliu villagers were completely relieved.

They gathered together and talked excitedly.

Lin Xiao did not interrupt their communication and urged everyone to get on the road as soon as possible.

After all, after a long journey, the deer also need a rest.

Now that the people have been received, there is no rush to return to Lingxiao Village.
After taking a look at the prostrate deer resting everywhere, Lin Xiao realized that the size of the deer herd had actually expanded a lot.

After communicating with Zero, Lin Xiao learned that those wild monsters all joined on the way.

Warcraft has a unique appeal and attraction to similar wild monsters.

Although Fei Lian did not recruit wild monsters, many deer-like wild monsters still joined him on the way.

And those who can keep up with the large army are mostly of high levels, including even a fifth-level forest deer and two fourth-level exotic beasts.

It is foreseeable that the Feilian population will expand on the way back.

This rescue team, already composed of elite deer monsters, might double in number.

After leaving the Southern Wilderness Peninsula and walking around in the Southern Wilderness Forest, the strength of Feilian's population seemed to be vaguely greater than that of Ao Quan's population.

With Fei Lian's assistance, Lin Xiao enslaved You Linlu and two other fourth-level beasts with the Life Eye.

These are the backbone of Lin Xiao's Warcraft population, and they are worthy of Lin Xiaoyun's resources to cultivate.

One day, you will also have the opportunity to grow into a monster.
The rescue team officially set off at around [-] p.m.

Lin Xiao estimated that the Cangliu villagers would not be able to return to Lingxiao Village until early in the morning.

What surprised the Cangliu villagers was that Lin Xiao was not prepared to return to Lingxiao Village with them.

Xiao and Ling will lead the Feilian tribe and bring the Cangliu villagers back to their homes.

After watching the Feilian population disappear into the forest, Lin Xiao asked the leader not to leave too far from the cave, then returned to the cave and soon arrived at the location of the Mind Flayer's palace.

Lin Xiao came here yesterday, and his main purpose was actually to explore the cave.

It was just that he wasted some time to save the Cangliu villagers, and now he has to continue to complete this work.

Following the clues in the memories of the Myconid King and the Master Brain, Lin Xiao began to go deep underground.

This route to the Underdark was formed by accident. It is narrow in some places and very spacious in others.

It is winding and long, with highs and lows, and many forks.

If it weren't for his spiritual sense and the reconnaissance ability brought by Shadow Escape and Shadow Shape, Lin Xiao would definitely be confused in the cave.

During this period, Lin Xiao experienced abyss-like underground cliffs, cascading underground river waterfalls, and was almost drowned by the pouring magma when he broke through a stone wall.
The underground world is indeed strange, but it is also full of dangers.

Destroying structures in the surrounding environment is the biggest taboo in this area.

He didn't know how long or how far he had walked. When Lin Xiao began to feel depressed, he finally came to a vast space.

Here, fluorite, glow rock, luminous crystal, etc. shine like stars on the dome wall, and all kinds of strange and weird crystals emit various colors of light.

Even standing at half height, Lin Xiao could not see the end of this space.

"This space seems to have been born not long ago, but it should be considered a part of the Underdark. It is a new cave hall!
Do I officially enter the Underdark? "

Lin Xiao felt the aura of a large number of creatures, underground vegetation everywhere, and sporadic wild monsters in the Underdark.

The ecology here has been completely assimilated to the Underdark, not like the entrance to the cave.

After becoming part of the Underdark, the structure of the cave hall here will become increasingly stable, and the ecology will also change in the direction of the Underdark.

This was also the reason why Lin Xiao felt that he had entered the Dark Territory.

Using the levitation technique to fly down from the rock wall silently, Lin Xiao began to examine the environment and creatures in this cave hall.

What surprised him was that this cave hall seemed to already have its own owner.

That's a group of gray dwarves.

They have built fortresses and houses in the cave hall, and there are probably more than 300 of them.

Although there are not many, every strength is above the third level.

They even included more than 20 level [-] gray dwarves and three level [-] gray dwarves.

In "History of the Galan Plane Era", the races in the Galan Plane were divided into average strengths and weaknesses.

The giant dragon is a unique existence. Even if an adult individual does not practice, he can naturally become an extraordinary creature.

Under the dragon, there are races such as giants, whalemen, and Behemoth orcs.

Adult individuals basically have fourth-level combat power.

The races ranked in the third tier are the powerful branches of elves, dwarves, orcs, orcs, and sea tribes.

These clans basically have the third level of combat power when they reach adulthood. With certain training, they can easily be promoted to the fourth level.
Lin Xiao observed from a distance. After seeing the pattern of the flag above the Gray Man's fortress, the information obtained from the mastermind could not help but appear in his mind.

These duergar come from a clan called the Blacksands, who are part of the duergar kingdom of Tugg and are the culprits responsible for the destruction of the mind flayer town where the mastermind resides.

The gray dwarves in the cave hall here are most likely the vanguard of the Black Sand Tribe stationed here.

As one of the most powerful gray dwarf clans in the Tuge Kingdom, the Black Sand Clan has more than 50 gray dwarves.

The huge population prompted them to continue to expand, not only destroying and occupying the mind flayer town where the mastermind was located, but now they also have plans for this cave hall.

However, existences such as the Black Sand Clan are not something that Lin Xiao and Lingxiao Village can provoke now.

There are several strong men from the seventh-level holy realm in their clan, and there are no less than fifty sixth-level extraordinary beings.

The total number of humans in the entire Galan plane is not enough to defeat the Black Sand clan.

However, Lin Xiao did not want to provoke these gray dwarves.

After all, this crypt hall was just born not long ago. Although the area is not small, the resources are limited.

This may be the reason why the Black Sand Clan only sent three hundred warriors to guard this place.

The purpose of Lin Xiao's trip was to explore the caves and dark areas, not to kill all the aliens he saw.

However, in order to understand the gray dwarves more deeply, Lin Xiao still tried to get closer to the gray dwarfs' station.

While observing the habits of these gray dwarves, I also looked for opportunities to see if I could catch a gray dwarf and search the memory.
