If Uta's theory is correct, perhaps the Underdark channel of the Drow War more than a thousand years ago will be reborn, and unlike the one in the Dragon Ridge Mountains a few years ago, it is on the border of Cormanso.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt that after the war, he might remind Cormanso to check the ruins of the Underdark channel that was destroyed that year to avoid recurrence of incidents.

"As you said, can we assume that the influence of the Underdark is actually spreading? After countless years, will there be countless Underdark channels on the ground? Or will the surface also have radiation unique to the Underdark?"

"I dare not assert this. Whether the Underdark radiation is continuing to spread to the surface requires a long period of observation and recording to draw results. As of now, I have not seen such a trend."

After Uta said this, Xia Duo was temporarily relieved. If the influence of the Underdark is really spreading, as long as the change time is long enough, the surface creatures can always find a new way out.

After all, isn't life best at finding a way out!

…

Under Uta’s guidance, Shado went deeper and deeper underground. The underground rift that was previously disguised by the Illuminati had disappeared, but the influence of the Underdark represented by it had not been cut off.

In the special vision provided by Uta, it still looked like a line that extended from the top to the endless bottom, and now he and Uta were tracking this line.

If you enter from the previous rift, you must use the teleportation spell to reach the corresponding Underdark, but if you keep tracking like this and don’t go through that rift, you can directly reach the Underdark in the continuous underground space, or directly reach the underground passage of the Underdark.

“Wuta, how far is it below?”

Even though he had “seen” the line of action representing the influence of the Underdark through the special perspective shared by Uta, this line went far beyond Shado’s individual perception limit, and it seemed as if there was no end at all.

In this regard, Uta explained: "It's almost there. There should be a real passage below, or if you keep going down, you will always encounter the Underdark, but it's not certain whether it is the one where the Illuminati is."

The underground of the Elan region, in terms of horizontal range only, is the same as the surface. No matter how large it is, it can't reach Elan itself, but in the vertical direction, there may be multiple different levels.

In other words, there may be a smaller Underdark space at every certain depth. If you find a position and drill a hole straight down, you may encounter many Underdark spaces that are either independent or connected.

Of course, it is also possible that none of them can be encountered. This vertical hole perfectly avoids every Underdark space.

Now, Xia Duo wants to find the space where the Illuminati is located. He can check each space one by one and eliminate the options one by one. The remaining one is where the Illuminati is.

But now, since the clue has been found, and it is the only clue that the Illuminati has disguised so far, there is no need to be so troublesome next time. Just follow the clue and track it down.

Xia Duo obviously understood this, but after facing the pressure of the Illuminati for a long time, he was inevitably a little anxious and uneasy when he was about to be released.

...

Soon, about 5 new miles vertically downward in the underground fissure disguised by the Illuminati (the actual trajectory was far more than 5 new miles), Xia Duo finally found underground radiation that was more intense and wild than any suspected Underdark channel he had seen before.

"Please, Mr. Uta, do a simple check of the channel first!"

"Well, my main body is already checking it."

Uta was still invisible at this moment, but his control over the underground earth and stone field also moved to the vicinity of the Underdark channel as his main body moved.

In this case, his inspection would be more secretive than Xia Duo's, and of course it might be more effective.

After a while, Wuta gave the inspection results in the command network through Tarafu: "The enemy is too arrogant. There is no disguise or trap in the passage. Next, will Master Shado enter the Underdark through the passage, or escape underground like we did just now?"

"Same as before!"

Shado made a decision immediately. It is undoubtedly more convenient and faster to go through the Underdark passage, but it may also trigger the warning magic of the Illuminati. Wuta's inspection is more at the level of earth elements. If it does not involve earth elements, Wuta may not be able to discover the magic of the Illuminati.

So he simply did not go through the passage. Anyway, the Underdark is just an underground space. As long as he can move in the soil and rocks, it doesn't matter where he enters. Going through the passage will limit his position in the Underdark space.

Next, although Shado did not enter the Underdark in the passage, he also moved forward according to the direction guided by the passage. This passage is not straight up and down, but complicated, and may even go backwards.

But outside the passage, with Uta's special vision, Shado could easily find the general direction indicated by the passage. He didn't need to make many turns like he did in the passage, and could go straight to his destination.

Soon he came to a place far below the crack that had deviated vertically from the initial clue, almost to the border of Elan near Sruvende.

"Master Xia Duo, there are no traps or surveillance when entering from here." Uta pointed a direction to Xia Duo.

Xia Duo replied: "Yes. I am also preparing to enter from there! Wait a moment, I will make some disguises!"

Of course, he can't just go in directly. Even if there are no traps or surveillance inside, it's better to be cautious. If nothing else, the impact of changes in the magic network environment on the caster's spells is like setting off fireworks at night to those who are interested. Just as obvious.

Of course, it was impossible for Xia Duo to make such a stupid mistake. After all, he was no longer a novice. After disguising himself, he moved towards the predetermined position.

Then he squeezed out of an unnamed wall in the Underdark space. He had just made a simple inspection outside and found nothing unusual, but now that he was in the Underdark space, he immediately discovered the abnormality.

This abnormality can even be seen directly with the naked eye, that is, there is a trace of light in the corner passage not far ahead!

Xia Duo hurriedly walked towards the corner. In an instant, it suddenly opened up. Visible to the naked eye was a huge spherical space in front of him. The ground was slightly flat, but there were countless spikes hanging down from above.

Of course, those are not spikes, but stalagmites and folds that have been squeezed out one by one. They should have been on the ground originally, but they may have been cleared away.

The light he just saw came from a platform below. Although the light emitted from there was not particularly bright, it illuminated almost the entire space in this limited space.

There is no doubt that that is where the ultimate Illuminati ritual takes place!
