For surface creatures, the Underworld is a terrifying world full of moats and mazes. There is no sun, moon, mountains, or even a wide enough field of vision. Landmarks are completely deprived of their meaning. The darkness takes away the mind, and it will die under the sharp claws of those hunters due to carelessness.But for pure underground creatures, especially the highest ones, the underground is a very well-organized world. Every habitable area here will mark the name of a creature, from dark elves, illithids, and beholders. From the creatures at the top of the food chain, to gray dwarves, mushroom people, and kuo-toa murlocs who love to live in groups, they open up the territory of their own kingdoms, delineate territories in every cave or lake, and use different methods to describe the land that only belongs to Your own detailed map.The wilderness outside the map has become the fairest hunting ground of nature. Except for the fanatical creatures like subterranean gnomes who will be dazzled by treasures, no race will rush into this area. At least a few people Squad absolutely not.

According to the Waxmelt Demon, the defected drow who stole the artifact had only one companion, and no matter how the two of them fooled a servant of the Spider Queen, just judging from the appearance of this conflict: they chose the most special one. After getting the artifact, they did not turn around and escape into a certain city, but directly entered the middle layer through the shaft of the underground gnome... All signs indicate that the two Maybe there is no confident backup, so you can only rely on some tricks to slow down the enemy's footsteps and make time for your own escape.In this very vast and complex underground world, the roads that a small group can pass without causing too much trouble are actually quite limited. If there are enough maps, it is not difficult to come up with a roughly accurate answer.But for the First Family of Samaritan City, the map has never been a problem.

It took more than half a day for Nero to go through the maps of several cities in the middle and upper layers. Although the terrain of the Underdark region is not static, it is not too difficult to guess where it is still passable.After careful study, he gave up the entire middle-level region, directly targeted the node from the middle level to the upper level, and sent mages and priests to investigate.The teleportation technique greatly increased the speed of investigation, and three days later, the news was sent back to his desk.

With a smile, Nero stood up and walked towards the family's VIP tower.Now, the Nesert family's one of the most luxurious stalactite spires has become the residence of the Waxmelt Demon. Every day, there are a lot of drinks, fresh fruits, jewelry, and human victims—usually drow males or female captives of other races. The Waxmelt isn't too picky in this respect - let it spend its money on it.When he walked into the steeple, the dying howl echoed in Nero's ears, as if showing the anger and cruelty of the Waxmelt Demon, but he still walked into the hall without changing his expression, only to see the demon in the bloody , a beautiful drow woman threw away a certain human organ she was holding and looked at him.

Without any hesitation, when he came into contact with the sharp line of sight that seemed to be real, Nero simply knelt down, showing absolute surrender.Such a humble gesture made the Wax Melt Demon let out an unfriendly snort. It was unable to tear itself apart from the Nessert family for the time being, and it really couldn't reprimand such a submissive messenger.

"My lord." Nero spoke quickly, with a tone of humility. "Under the command of Mistress Nessert, we have locked the route of those two despicable scum, and after capturing their whereabouts, I implore you to come and eradicate these two traitors who broke the rules and the iron law of the Spider Queen, Let their lowly souls return to the glory of our Lord."

This is a completely pleading tone, it seems that the one who is really eager to find the defected drow is not the wax melter, but himself.For this kind of flattery that completely distorted the facts, covered up that shameful failure, and secretly flattered and pleaded with himself, the Waxing Demon was very useful.It nodded its noble head reservedly, but still didn't show much emotion.

Knowing that his weight was not enough, Nero continued to stimulate his tongue and made another suggestion. "But it seems too easy to simply destroy their bodies. Their crimes are enough for a more severe punishment..."

"That's right!" This time the melting wax demon let out an angry scream, and a huge spiritual shock swept the entire hall, "They should accept the most severe curse, and the endless punishment in the abyss magic net is not enough to extinguish me. The anger! And that human being! His soul should be tortured to the same extent! The most severe and cruel!!"

The mental shock caused Nero's figure to shake slightly, and he buried his head lower.The ownership of the soul can never be determined with a single sentence, it may involve a complex war between several gods, especially for a powerful enough mage.However, he didn't object to Waxmelt Demon's angry roar, instead, he pandered to praise.

"You are right, my lord. Only the Spider Queen and her most beloved spokesperson can do this kind of punishment. Your divine power will punish them in the cruelest way and let them enjoy torture of the soul..."

"Hmm..." The Melting Demon made a nasal sound, as if to express her agreement, but Nero knew it was not. In the past two days, the Melting Demon had spent all her energy on venting her anger and desire, and did not No special instructions.And now, he will offer enough "special" to please it...

Following the endless flattery and few hints from the dark elves, the wax melted demon's brows stretched out. For this sinister, cunning and extremely cruel servant of God, it doesn't take too long to understand a "little idea". What's more, this attention is so in line with my own intentions, as if it was spoken from my own mouth... It slowly stood up, and it seemed that it just swayed, and came to the man, and provoked him with its fingertips. A handsome enough face.

"Interesting little thing." Wax melted a chuckle, and the scarlet fingertips brushed against Nero's lips, leaving a sticky trail of blood. "Are you the captain of that old guy's personal guard? I seem to have seen you..."

"I'm also the current servant of the Nessert family." Nero said unhurriedly, but his expression softened under the watchful eyes of the Waxmelt Demon, showing a faint temptation.

"Servant?" Waxmelt sneered, and swept the east with a cold gaze. There stood the steeple where Mistress Nessert lived, with enough brilliance and delicacy.The corners of its lips curled up slightly, "You won't be soon..."

Facing such an obvious hint, Nero didn't make any rebuttals, but lowered his eyes obediently.Waxing Yao patted the male drow's cheek in satisfaction, turned around and walked back to his throne.

"You are a smart boy, and I believe you can accomplish everything I set out." Unabashedly, the Waxmelt Demon took the strategy offered by Nero as his own, "If those two traitors are caught, I will give you a reward." The reward I got, even the only reward in this operation, I think you understand what I mean..."

"Of course, my lord." Nairo bowed his head respectfully to the chief, "Your will is what I strive for, and I will not disappoint your expectations."

The words that were almost the same as the oath made a few days ago were dedicated to another person again, but the drow male did not show any abnormality. With a faint smile, he walked out of the hall and walked towards the established battlefield.

After resting overnight, San and Hong Ming continued on their way to the surface. This time they did not choose those completely remote wild trails, but advanced rapidly through the existing tunnels dug in several dungeons. For them at present, it is not a wise choice to continue to look for a way out in the wilderness. Any battle will consume Hong Ming's mana, and it is not easy to find a supply place like the subterranean gnome hideout.

At the same time, those tunnels that have been dug are also easier to walk, all that is needed is to strengthen the guard.This is the middle layer of the Underdark region, a "cooked land" that has been explored and reclaimed by countless races. There are several cities belonging to the dark elves alone. It is not difficult for Sarn to bypass those drow sentries. When it is really impossible to dodge, Hong Ming's earth escape spell is also a good way to travel in a short distance.So they moved forward very quickly, and it only took about four days to reach the node close to the upper layer.

"Not far ahead is the way we came here. Do you still remember the cave where the Petrified Lizard King fought?" Sarn said through voice transmission in his heart, "Fortunately, you opened a large enough cave, and you can pass through that section of the road." Go back to the myconid lair. Once you get in there, the enemies will be blown away, and the myconids will not allow the dark elves to pass through their homeland."

"It's only one day's journey away from the mushroom man's lair, right?" Hong Ming did some calculations silently, and felt a little relieved, "Do you want to use Earth Dungeon or Flying Dungeon?"

"It's not yet time." Of course Sarn didn't let go. Although Hong Ming didn't consume much mana in the past few days, he hasn't really left the middle level now. It's obviously not a good idea to rush forward. "Just come as it is."

Hong Ming understood it, slowed down his pace, and trailed far behind.This is their most commonly used method in recent days. Few creatures can detect Sarn who has really entered the hidden state. He will clear the field as a sentry, and then use the blood contract to communicate and send back messages. This will allow Hong Ming to avoid most of the Potential threats, and when Sarn encounters troubles that cannot be dodged and circumvented, such as a drow patrol team, he will turn back and ask Hongming to use spells to escape.The mind-to-heart connection made the tacit understanding between them impeccable. After a few days of practice, the speed of the two people's progress became faster and faster. Sarn's heart was beating, and the deep tunnel seemed more and more lonely.Only this time, they are still connected by a blood bond...

After passing through several tunnels quickly, Hong Ming suddenly stopped walking after walking out of a cave.In front of him, Sarn did not send back any warning, but several unidentifiable gaps in the air were forming, and in just a moment, violent magic lightning struck him.

"Enemy attack!!" Thoughts flashed rapidly, Hong Ming warned Sarn through the blood contract, the long sword had already been shot, the sword light of the body guard was fully aroused, and the bright silver-white mask blocked the first blow.However, there were two sorcerers and one priest on the other side, all of them were high-level, and the speed of the three spellcasters was like a storm, and they slammed towards Hong Ming violently.

The earth wall technique and the wood avoidance technique alternated successively, blocking the attack together with the sword glow, Hongming's fingers made a formula, and his feet stepped on the Yu step, the true spirit in his body was spinning wildly, and Tai'a had already started humming.He wants to rush out of this encirclement, there are still people waiting for his rescue ahead!

In the distance, a figure hidden in the darkness is silently watching the situation in the arena.Nero smiled slightly. It may be difficult to track down the traces of a defected drow, but it is dead simple to find traces of a human in the Underdark.Heartbeat, breath, footsteps...everything will become a sharp weapon to betray him. As long as they avoid the outposts of the defecting elves, it is not difficult to split the formation of the two.But that human mage is really strong beyond imagination, and the three behind him probably can only block him for a moment. Is this moment enough?

Nero looked meaningfully at another battlefield ahead, the spider web had already been laid, and now, it was only waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

The long sword whistled softly, and Hong Ming's figure turned into a flash of lightning, rushing forward.There is no more defense, no more reservations, the sharp sword light tore through the darkness and silence, and also cut through the encirclement net set by the drows, galloping forward like a bright electric light.
