Chapter 197 Underground knowledge
Therefore, as long as 54 is well concealed, he can come out with two identities.One is a super warrior, and the other is a great magician.

puff puff!

With a thought in his mind, 54 spurted out an invisible fighting spirit from the pores on his face, shocking the two ignorant gray dwarves to death.

Thought Probe!

To 54, killing these two gray dwarves was like stepping on a few weeds, without any feeling.However, this does not mean that he is a bloodthirsty person.He can do whatever he can to achieve his goal, even if he kills a whole world, it's nothing.However, there is no need to kill these two unrelated gray dwarves.So, he just stuns them and reads their minds.

Not long after, 54 got part of what he wanted from the thoughts of the two gray dwarves.He was slightly satisfied, and left like lightning. At the moment of leaving, the two gray dwarves were awakened by the air.If one passes out in this extremely dangerous dark area, then one is not far away from really dying.

"This... why did I suddenly become unconscious?" a gray dwarf murmured.

"Me, me too!" Another gray dwarf also whispered.

"..." The two gray dwarves looked at each other, seeing fear in each other's eyes, and said in unison, "Quick, go back!" So they ran away without a trace.

"The reaction is not bad!" 54 was already more than ten miles away, but he still knew every move of the two gray dwarves.His current goal is to go to the city of the dark elves: Menzoberranzan.

From the memories of the two gray dwarves, 54 learned more clearly:
There are four intelligent races in the Underdark, in order of strength: dark elves, gray dwarves, mind flayers, and kuo-toa murlocs.The dark elves are the most powerful race in the Underdark, while the gray dwarves and mind flayers are not easy to compare.However, because the Arlingden stone city of the gray dwarves is huge, its population far exceeds that of the mind flayers, and the territory it occupies is also larger than that of the mind flayers, so the gray dwarves barely rank above the mind flayers. .

The dark elves have a total of nine cities, and each city has a population of hundreds of millions, far exceeding the size of any city on the surface world!The total population of dark elves is nearly 30.00 billion, occupying [-]% of the known places in the Underdark.

A dark elf is a slender, dark-skinned, humanoid creature with pointed ears.They are born with a certain degree of magic resistance, which is stronger than surface humans.They are evil, violent, and powerful.For profit, you can do anything; for power, anyone can betray you, even your own mother without hesitation.For power, sons murder their fathers, and mothers sacrifice their daughters... This is a deformed race.

The gray dwarves have Arlingdon Stone City, but it is the largest city underground and on the surface, with a population of more than 20 billion!The stone city is so huge that it is basically a kingdom made of stones!It was also because of this incomparably strong stone city that the ranking of the gray dwarf barely surpassed the mind flayer.

Adult gray dwarves are only between 1.2 meters and 1.4 meters tall, but their weight is comparable to surface people.Therefore, gray dwarves are generally very strong.The number of warriors here exceeds the number of magicians.Their king, the king of the gray dwarves—Bruno Warhammer, is a supremely powerful man!
The mind flayer's kingdom also has only one city, no, or it should be said to be a lair.Inside, there are seven turns and eight bends, like a narrow path.Those who can or come out of it will think that they have entered hell and come back again.One can imagine how terrifying it is inside!Mind flayers are also synonymous with terror in the Underdark, because among the four intelligent races, mind flayers are the most mysterious, savage, and primitive.Because they like to devour brains, especially the brains of intelligent creatures.People like the great magician, they are the favorite.Although they also have business contacts with other races, more often than not, they treat other races as... food.Not even the most powerful and evil dark elves are willing to go to war with mind flayers.Even if it's a war with duergars, I don't want to mess with mind flayers!
The mind flayer looks like something out of a nightmare: the mind flayer has pupilless, milky white eyes, four tentacles near the mouth, and a head that looks like an octopus.Mauve-coloured, with skin like cold elastic rubber covered in a light-reflecting slime, mind flayers are hermaphrodite creatures.Mind flayers are the least intelligent of all intelligent races, due to their transition from infancy to adulthood: when the metamorphosis process begins, an adult illithid will implant a fully developed tadpole into a helpless In the ears of humanoids.The illithid tadpole will burrow into the victim's brain, quickly devouring its gray matter and replacing it with its own filthy tissue.Under its influence, the tadpole will fuse with the uneaten lower brain stem of the victim, obliterating all remaining personality and soul. When these things have completely disappeared from the body, the illithid tadpole will use it as its own body .Within a day, the victim's physical body will also begin to change in form, until the creation of an adult mind flayer is complete.This secret was learned by a super strong dark elf and gray dwarf, and then it was announced.

After this secret was revealed, the other three intelligent races joined forces to attack the mind flayer.The mind flayer had to shrink its territory, and after hundreds of thousands of years of changes, it finally became the mind flayer's lair occupying 10% of the Underdark region—one of the most terrifying places in the Underdark region.

"According to the memories of the two gray dwarves, if you trot forward for another hour, you will be in the territory of the dark elves, where there are often dark elves patrolling teams." Each team consists of twenty to thirty dark elves, and the team leader At least a sixth-level magician, or an advanced warrior.Such a squad, in the territory of the dark elves, there are thousands of them patrolling at all times.As for the medium-sized team, there are at least a hundred dark elves, and the team leader is a seventh-level magician, or a junior warlord.And large teams are relatively rare, and they usually appear only when they want to attack the territory of other races.Large teams have at least a thousand people, and there are tens of senior mages and warlords.

"There is a battle at a straight line of 54 kilometers ahead!" [-] suddenly sensed a strong fighting spirit and magic fluctuations coming from a distance ahead. "It should be a lot of people fighting. Okay, let's join in the fun!"
