The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

The underground city was more lively than Xu Lai had imagined.

Not long after, Elvy flew over with several heads.

Although these mercenaries were not as fast as the Seraphim, they were very slippery and separated directly at the fork in the road.

"My lord, I failed to do my job well and let these guys run away." Elvy seemed very ashamed. In the past, she always called him a knight in public and private.

Xu Lai knew the characteristics of these Seraphim and that someone must be in charge. Elvy was obviously unable to do it.

"It's not your fault. They are just some unknown people. Let's leave here quickly."

As he said that, Xu Lai looked back at the underground passage. He remembered that there were many people following him.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Lai still found a green rock from his space backpack.

Xu Lai didn't throw this thing out when fighting the black dragon.

Including the one he gave Su Ya and the others for self-defense, there were only 99 of these things in total. Xu Lai kept them as the last reserve.

Xu Lai smashed the green rock to the ground with force, and a hellfire burning with blazing flames fell from the sky.

"Let's go!"

After leaving the hellfire behind, Xu Lai and others walked along the map and went deep underground.

After walking more than a hundred meters, Xu Lai directly cut off the connection with the hellfire.

This also means that the hellfire has become a wild monster without an owner.

The evil camp does not have a so-called alliance relationship, and the three camps will attack each other.

Therefore, in theory, this hellfire will actively attack all targets within the warning range except the hell camp.

Sure enough, before Xu Lai and others left too far, Xu Lai's strong hearing allowed him to vaguely hear the roar of the hellfire.

In general maps, the hellfire is already a big boss-level monster.

Many mercenaries or explorers only encounter this kind of horror once or twice in their lives.

The flames around it alone can hurt people 4 or 5 meters away.

The flames are spell damage, and no matter how thick the armor is, it can't stop it. The key is that this thing is made of stone, and it is not afraid of pain or death. Anyone who encounters it will be in trouble.

This guy is a headache for even the regular paladins in the temple. Xu Lai estimates that if his paladin does not have his amplification, he may not be able to beat this guy.

Of course, the paladin with invincibility and warhorse cannot be defeated by this thing.

Hellfire is a 7th-level puppet unit. It is not only affected by mental spells, but also has the ability to be immune to magic, that is, it will not be controlled by the enemy.

The burning hellfire can cause damage to all close units, and with the splashing crushing fist, it is almost immune to group attacks.

As a super-large unit, the extra strength, armor and health also make the melee ability of hellfire exceed that of the same level.

Such a thing is still a puppet life. There is no benefit in winning. Only those who are crazy will go up to fight for their lives.

Xu Lai threw this thing at the entrance. No one should be able to pass within 180 minutes.

As for the people coming in, with their backs against the entrance, it would not be easy for Hellfire to kill them.

Unless these guys were determined to fight Hellfire.

If that was the case, it meant that these people had bad intentions towards Xu Lai, and it would be no pity if they died.

Three hours was enough for Xu Lai's team, which had been freed from restrictions and had a speed bonus, to leave the people behind by dozens of kilometers.

However, it was easy to get rid of the pursuers behind, but it was not easy for him to avoid those who entered the underground city before Xu Lai.

I don't know if Xu Lai ran too fast or if this place was too famous. After three hours, he had encountered three groups of adventurers along the way.

Fortunately, there were not many adventurers, most of them were three or five.

In addition to being frightened by Xu Lai, they did not dare to provoke such a cavalry unit that dared to gallop in the underground passage.

You know, the underground world is not peaceful, not to mention the natural traps everywhere.

Just say that in such a dim and almost dark environment, a piece of gravel on the road could make a galloping horse lame.

But for Xu Lai, who has dark vision and pathfinding, as long as he rushes in front, there will be no problem at all.

Although the adventurers he met along the way did not dare to provoke Xu Lai, there were always some strange and unexpected things.

Xu Lai, who rushed all the way without encountering any wild monsters, was blocked by two groups of people.

The first group to block Xu Lai was a fierce woman with shiny white skin.

This woman probably knew that the dungeon was not a safe place, so she still wore a set of leather armor.

However, this leather armor was so close to the body that it not only completely highlighted her figure, but also could not protect many parts.

Especially the upper body, which fully played out her fierce advantage. The Internet celebrities on the phone in the first half of my life did not show as much as this woman.

"Little handsome boy, where are you going alone?"

Xu Lai looked around and couldn't help laughing: "I'm bringing so many people, don't you know how to count?"

Being blocked by someone, even if it was a beautiful woman, Xu Lai was not very happy.

"Hey, I can tell at a glance that those are the men you recruited and the generals you promoted.

Tsk tsk, but why did you promote a few men, handsome boy? Don't you like women?"

Elvy was flying in the sky with the Seraphim, and these people were only focused on the ground, but didn't notice the angels flying in the sky.

But it's normal. The underground city is dim, and their magic lamps can only illuminate the surroundings.

As soon as he was stopped, Xu Lai knew that this woman must be a hero, otherwise she would have been raped tens of thousands of times if she appeared underground dressed like this.

Moreover, the natives of this world are probably not so rude.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, just get out of the way."

The woman frowned, but still suppressed her anger and said:

"There is an underground town blocking the way ahead. You are pretty strong, handsome boy. Why don't we team up and break through together."

The town the woman mentioned was the second accident that blocked Xu Lai's way.

"The town is not marked on the map."

"Who said it wasn't? We explored this underground for nearly a month, but there was nothing around here. Everyone got there first.

I finally said I wanted to go deeper, but I was blocked by an underground town that didn't exist on the map. Isn't it infuriating?"

Although Xu Lai only ran for 4 or 5 hours along the way.

But his speed along the way was at least ten times that of these people.

Moreover, he went straight to the goal, following the map, without taking any detours.

Since these people came to the dungeon for adventure, they must have gone everywhere, so after nearly a month of exploration, they were still caught up by Xu Lai.

Since it is not on the map, it means that this underground town must have appeared not long ago.

Although Xu Lai has done a lot of things, in fact, these heroes have not been here for less than a year.

Didn’t you see that this woman spent nearly a month exploring this dungeon with almost no danger?

Facts have proved that if there is no luck and hard work, these half a year will pass in a flash.

"No matter if it is annoying or not, at least let me go over and take a look."

There is another place in the underground that is far inferior to the ground, that is, there is often only one road.

On the ground, most places where this road is blocked can be bypassed.

In the underground, if a road is blocked by someone, it is likely that you can only bite the bullet and rush through, such as Mingyue City.

The woman smiled awkwardly. It seemed that Xu Lai had fewer people than her, but at a glance, they were all high-ranking knights, and their fighting power was not low.

"Handsome boy, do you mind if your sister gives you a ride?"

This means that she probably wants to go with Xu Lai.

Xu Lai didn't like this woman very much, and didn't want others to know his purpose. He didn't even bother to ask her name, and said very simply:

"Sorry, we may not go the same way."

After that, regardless of the woman's livid face, he squeezed the horse's belly, and the majestic royal warhorse rushed out in an instant.

Jian Yuan, Jilong, Roland and others behind him would not stop either.

The woman was obviously not very willing, and wanted to continue talking, but after being glared at by Roland, she dared not say anything for a while.

When she came to her senses, there was only a pile of smoke and dust left for her.

The woman gritted her teeth, cursed bitterly, and ordered her men to pack up immediately and follow Xu Lai's team.

If Xu Lai fights with the people in the underground city, she will see if there is any chance to profit from it.

After galloping for more than ten minutes, the underground passage suddenly became wider and wider.

Sure enough, not long after, a huge mushroom forest appeared in front.

This mushroom forest is extremely huge. Not only can the spores be picked as fruits, but even the mushrooms themselves can be used as fuel or even wood resources.

The mushroom forest is marked on the map, and around the mushroom forest, a mining site and an underground river are also marked on the map.

However, this is the Northern Empire, not the grassland.

Mineral resources, just find a mountain, there are almost inexhaustible mineral resources.

Therefore, no one is willing to come here to develop ore, which is not valuable and difficult to transport.

Especially the special environment underground makes the difficulty and cost of mining far higher than the ground.

But when Xu Lai looked at the map, he felt that this was a good place to build an underground city, with enough food, necessary water resources, and necessary materials for building a city, such as wood and ore.

This is the place where human explorers often appear. If you build an underground city, you may not be able to bear the disturbance.

However, this place is still far from the entrance. It took Xu Lai most of the day to rush all the way.

Even if ordinary explorers do not delay for a moment on the road, it will take at least a week to arrive.

The underground city that the woman mentioned is located between the mushroom forest and the mining field.

This place is extremely open. Even if there are mushroom forests and mining fields, plus an underground city that seems to be well developed, there should be a lot of space.

But probably because it is backed by the mining field and there is no shortage of ore, the lord of the underground city directly built more than a dozen guard towers.

These guard towers were erected in a row.

Except for the invisible units, I am afraid that no one can pass safely without alerting the guards.

Fortunately, this is just a town. If it has been upgraded to a fortress-level city, people are afraid that they will have to build a wall to completely seal this place.

The familiar ringtone rang on the arrow tower of someone else's house.

The bonus provided by a guard tower is not as great as that provided by an arrow tower, but it can still be a threat if a top-level archer is inside.

The top shooter among the dungeon forces is none other than Queen Medusa.

For ordinary Medusa, the petrification ability can only be effective in close combat, but Queen Medusa can directly emit petrification rays.

Considering that this town was most likely built by heroes descended from heaven, Xu Lai immediately stopped when the alarm bell rang.

Xu Lai originally wanted to sell this hero to gain face and try to negotiate a deal.

He just wants to get to his destination smoothly and doesn't want to cause any trouble along the way.

However, maybe it was because I was too lucky before, or maybe it was too smooth to form the golden statue of the God of War before, so this time there are more twists and turns.

The more Xu Lai doesn't want to cause trouble, the more trouble he can't escape.

"Humans, get out of my town!"

The voice came from nowhere, and even with Xu Lai's powerful eyesight, he couldn't clearly see the speaker.

The whole town was pitch black, and except for a little light, the visibility was no better than elsewhere.

Xu Lai frowned, forced a smile and said, "Friend, let's discuss it. I'm just passing by. If it's convenient, I can pay some tolls."

Hearing the toll, the rough voice from before was silent for a long time.

"Haha, you have money, right? OK, I want one million gold coins for tolls. If you can afford it, you can pay it. If you can't afford it, get out!"

Xu Lai also fell silent. This guy probably has never seen the world, and a lion can't even open his mouth.

Not to mention one million gold coins, even ten million, Xu Lai could take it out on the spot.

Of course, everything comes back, and if he really wants to pay, it will be unless his head is squeezed by the door.

"Brother, where are you from? We are all fellow villagers. It's convenient!"

"It's convenient for you, uncle. If you have money, pay for it. If you don't have money, get out. What's most annoying is that you people who have no money and like to pretend to be bad are the most annoying."

Xu Lai was so angry that he wished he could take out one million gold coins and hit this guy on the head.

However, if he really did such a thing, the guy opposite would probably be able to laugh out of his dreams.

"What if I say no?"

If Xu Lai said no, there really wasn't anything the other side could do.

Xu Lai stopped too early. Although he was within the attack range of the guard tower, he was at the extreme range. Not only the hit rate would be greatly reduced, but the damage would only be half.

What's even more annoying is that in Xu Lai's position, once he is attacked, he can retreat to a position where they can't attack at any time.

An attack of this level is enough to scare people. Trying to kill Xu Lai and the others is just nonsense.

But it happened that the person opposite him also had a bad temper, and he didn't know what kind of stimulation he had. His temper was much hotter than Xu Lai's.

Upon hearing Xu Lai's words, without saying a word, a row of arrows shot from the guard tower. (End of chapter)
