Different World Online

Based on Steve's own knowledge of the Underdark;

The most difficult part for adventurers to enter the Underdark is to pass through the section close to the surface;

The central area of ​​the Underdark is inhabited by powerful drow elves, gray dwarves, and mind flayers, also known as soul-sucking monsters.

These three forces are among the most powerful in the entire Underdark;

As for other not-so-powerful tribes, such as underground kobolds, underground gnomes, and swamp bears, they either become slaves of powerful forces, or move toward the more dangerous depths of the underground, or can only migrate to locations closer to the surface.

Obviously, becoming a slave was not an option;

Heading deep underground to face those terrifying beholders and bottom-dwelling demon fish... is an extremely foolish approach;

Therefore, these slightly weaker groups chose to move upwards and survive in the gap between the Underdark and the surface;

Although they are not as strong as the Drow, they are definitely very troublesome to adventurers.

These monsters will hide in any dark corner, at the top of a blind corridor, or under soft soil, and attack passing adventurers unexpectedly.

This is why Steve chose to go directly underground;

He didn't want to waste his time on these scumbags who had no money or profit.

As long as you enter the middle area of ​​the Underdark, which is between 500 meters and 800 meters underground, there will be fewer annoying monsters;

At least there won't be some noisy underground kobolds suddenly jumping out and hitting you in the knee with a hammer.

Sniffing his nose, Steve's eyes lit up;

Although it was roughly certain that the gray dwarves were active in this underground area, it was obviously inappropriate to search around like a headless fly;

Fortunately, the air flow in the underground space is very slow, and various special smells can be preserved for a long time. Steve can easily distinguish the thick smell of sweat and dirt mixed with rust on the gray dwarves from the air.

After finding the right direction, Steve took out [Alex] from the [Void Demiplane] and held it in his hand;

Then he moved along the left wall of the cave towards the side where the smell of the gray dwarves was stronger.

To be honest, a long-handled weapon like Alex is not suitable for the complex underground environment, but Steve needs Alex's ability to absorb physical strength.

Long-handled weapons are difficult to wield, but it is also difficult for the enemy to dodge the gun tip in a narrow space.

There are pros and cons, but for Steve, the pros outweigh the cons.

In the dim blue light, he strode forward, his pupils trying to adapt to the environment;

If he hadn't had that fortuitous encounter, he probably wouldn't have been able to master the two specialties [Dark Vision] and [Low-light Vision] in his lifetime;

This is also the disadvantage of the human race;

Whether it is a dwarf, elf or half-elf, they are all born with the personal expertise of [Dark Vision];

Even Poppy, who only cares about eating and laughing all day, has [Dark Vision].

After advancing peacefully for nearly an hour, the unique stench of the gray dwarves in the air suddenly became stronger;

At the same time, a strong smell of blood passed over his nose.

There is a fight!

With a start in his heart, Steve instantly entered stealth mode, and his movement speed immediately dropped to half of its usual speed.

At the same time, void energy enveloped his body, and his body was gradually erased in the darkness;

Although Steve cannot rely on the power of shadow to sneak, the Wanderer still has incomparable advantages in the dark.

As they got closer, the sound of weapons colliding could be heard.

At the same time, the obscure language of the gray dwarves echoed in the corridor;

After turning a corner silently, the view ahead suddenly opened up;

What appeared before Steve's eyes was a world filled with blue fluorescence and a huge cave;

The cave is like a beer bottle lying on its side, with an interior height of more than 60 feet (20 meters). Stone cones like fangs hang upside down on the top of the cave.

Below, a row of crude stone houses cling to the innermost cliff, with baskets filled with stones and various crude mining picks scattered around the stone houses;

There are some building foundations under construction around it, and the whole thing looks like a messy construction site.

Near the cave entrance, many drow warriors wearing fine leather armor and holding elven scimitars and whips were driving the underground kobolds who were fleeing in panic, and were fighting with the gray dwarves wearing heavy black plate armor.

Although these dozen or so gray dwarves were not as orderly as their cousins ​​on the surface, they were united and were obviously no match for a group of chaotic kobolds and drow elves.

Just as Steve was about to stand aside and watch, a female drow in a purple robe with gorgeous gold embroidery appeared in his sight;

The female drow held a long whip of fine gold covered with spikes in her hands, and moved nimbly between the gray dwarves;

Every time the whip fell, it would leave a deep whip mark on the gray dwarf's solid plate armor;

She jumped and pranced, her long legs faintly visible under her robe, as if she was wearing nothing;

Steve recognized the guy at first glance.

Void Alliance, [City Lord];

In his dream, the appearance of the [City Lord] and the [Chief] was no secret to him at all; and in the eyes of these two, his whole body was shining with an extremely deep purple void energy, like a dream.

Looking at the city lord who was in high spirits but was forced to retreat again and again by the gray dwarves, Steve scratched his head speechlessly.

It turns out that this guy was just bragging when he said he was the lord of a dungeon. After all, he was just a small slave owner in a garbage slave mine.

Moreover, he was beaten back to his hometown by a dozen gray dwarves.

help? Still not helping?

Without thinking too much, Steve was ready to help this dark-skinned chick.

It wasn't out of kindness, but because he had a good idea.

His original plan was to cooperate with the city lord, but this dark-skinned girl was so green, so it would be better to conquer her directly.

Although he was not as good at playing with contracts as the devil, he still knew a little bit about the basic format of the Styx Contract;

Thinking of this, Steve no longer hesitated. He roared at the uneven roadside and rushed out carrying Alex.

"The girl let go, let me!"

A loud roar was heard, and the battlefield fell silent for a moment.

The next second, the gray dwarves continued to slaughter the kobolds, the kobolds still ran away with their heads in their hands, and the drow elves were still cursing and cracking their whips;

Embarrassment is spreading~

Steve's thick face turned red for a rare moment.

Knock your grandma!

Cursing inwardly, Steve thrust his gun forward in anger, while launching [Void Jump];

In an instant, his figure disappeared from the spot, and then suddenly appeared behind a gray dwarf.

"Slurp." The creepy sound of bones and metal friction came from the gray dwarf's body.

The next second, the gray dwarf, who was facing away from Steve, lost consciousness in his lower body, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Behind him, Steve stepped on the gray dwarf's back with his big feet and pulled Alex out of the guy's tailbone inch by inch.

The harsh and unpleasant friction sound like nails scratching on a blackboard rang out again.
