When Jianxiu came to the Western Fantasy Continent

After stepping into the crypt, the light suddenly dimmed, Hong Ming stomped his feet slightly, and immediately followed Saen and walked down.This cave is narrower than imagined, almost bottomless, and the terrain is steep and covered with moss. You have to bend your body and move forward slowly.Hong Ming walked very cautiously, almost unable to keep up with San's pace.There is a layer of water vapor hanging on the rock wall, and the tentacles are slippery, like the intestines of some kind of beast, which makes people feel vigilant.As time passed, they went deeper and deeper, the surrounding temperature began to drop, darkness gradually covered everything, and the flexible figure in front of them was also engulfed, and could no longer be seen with naked eyes.The earthy smell and water vapor became more and more intense, covering the mouth and nose like a wet blanket.

Hong Ming suddenly stopped and looked around blankly. Now he can only perceive his surroundings by hearing and touch, but there is only one sound coming from his ears, which is his own heartbeat, beating, in this darkness and silence There is Ruo Leiming... Where is Sarn?Why couldn't he hear the other party's movement, even the heartbeat disappeared...

"what happened?"

A voice suddenly sounded in his heart, Hong Ming was startled and looked up to the front. "Where are you?"

"Calm down." There was a breeze in the darkness, and one hand rested on Hong Ming's shoulder, suppressing his reflexive movements, "Your heartbeat is too annoying, relax. I'm here."

"But you..." Taking a deep breath, Hong Ming forced himself to calm down. They had only walked for a quarter of an hour, probably less than a few miles, and now is not the time to panic. "I can't hear your voice anymore, I can't even search for my heartbeat."

The voice was silent for a moment, "Sorry, I was negligent." He paused, "I am too familiar with this world, in order to avoid all possible enemies, I will involuntarily use some concealment techniques."

Following these words, there was a voice in Hong Ming's ear, small and steady, like a starlight in the dark night, it was the sound of Sarn's heart beating.With a calming heart, Hong Ming closed his eyes and let go of his five senses. Amidst the steady beating of his heart, the figure of the other party slowly emerged in his mind, although it was still a little hazy, as if he was facing an enemy that would drift away at any time. ghost.

"Can you see me clearly?" Hong Ming asked the phantom.

"It's so clear that you don't even need night vision. Your breathing and heartbeat, the rubbing of your sleeves, your footsteps, and the smell from your body... Don't worry, my perception has never left you."

These words made Hong Ming's heart skip a beat.The connection of blood and the communication of spirit and soul are the most intimate and direct way two people can communicate. However, Hong Ming seldom touches Saen's mind, not only because of morality, but also because Saen's mind is firm. , is not easy to perceive.But now, for the first time, he clearly sensed the other party's mood, where there was struggle and fear, unwillingness and vigilance, but following these words, everything was smoothed out, and his mind returned to calm, just like his The heartbeat is stable and soothing, eliminating distracting thoughts.

Hong Ming moved his fingertips slightly, what is this...

"What about you? Are you still used to it?" Saen didn't seem to notice Hong Ming's mood, and asked instead.

"Not very good." Hong Ming returned truthfully, "The underground is even narrower than I imagined. Are all the caves so narrow?"

"Of course not. It is precisely because this cave is narrow and hidden that we can walk through it, otherwise it would have been occupied by some underground creatures. After leaving this cave, it will be better to go to the first floor of the Underdark. There are not many people there. Dangerous creatures are basically ruled by mushroommen and gnomes, and there are many shimmering plants and minerals to provide lighting. This tunnel is also relatively safe, just for you to get familiar with the darkness."

"How long will it take to get out of this crypt?"

"It will take about an hour. When you reach the bottom, turn right and there is another branch road. At the end is the mushroom man's lair. Now, come with me."

The temperature on his shoulders disappeared, and Hong Ming's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but followed up. This time he didn't open his eyes, but followed the steady heartbeat and walked quickly.After an unknown amount of time, Hong Ming suddenly felt that the terrain under his feet was becoming flatter, as if he had reached the end of the cave. Walking with his eyes closed for a long time made his five senses gradually sharpen, and he adapted to the darkness. The outline of the cave can already be presented in his mind, but The gradually widening cave still made him walk to the side of the road, and he kept touching the rock wall with his hands to ensure that he could walk more smoothly. When he passed a corner, he suddenly heard a roar in his heart.

"Back off!"

Hong Ming suddenly retreated quickly, and opened his eyes abruptly.He saw a dazzling white light flashing in the darkness. Under the light, he saw a pair of huge stingers flying to the top of the cave and sticking to the rock strangely. A bloody smell spread, followed by a low sound. A dumb roar, like a beast struggling to die.Hong Ming did not hesitate to make a gesture with his fingers, a fire dragon sprang out from his fingertips, and suddenly rushed forward, only to see the dark elf roll on the spot and dodge to the side, the fire dragon engulfed a six-legged, open The monster with a mouth full of blood spread a burnt smell in the air.

"Damn it, stop using spells and come with me!"

The flames were extinguished, and the cave suddenly returned to darkness. A warm and dry hand grabbed his palm, and Hong Ming ran along with him. He no longer looked around, but galloped quickly, following closely behind Sarn. .There was a rustling sound from behind, as if a group of creatures were approaching the remains of the monster, but they were getting farther and farther away until they were swallowed by darkness.After about two quarters of an hour, the two stopped.

"It was a cave fishing crab just now." The heartbeat returned to a steady rhythm, and he slowly let go of Hong Ming's hand, and a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart, "It's a bit like a crab on the surface, but it's more dangerous. They like to stick in dark caves and hunt creatures that accidentally touch them with slime, which is far stronger than ordinary traps and very difficult to deal with."

Hong Ming tightened his palms, "I was careless."

"No, I should tell you. In the Dark Territory, it's best not to walk against the rock wall unless necessary, and don't walk in the middle of the road. Both of these places are extremely risky, and they are the favorite prey of ferocious beasts. position."

"I will remember."

Seemingly aware of Hong Ming's inner emotions, the voice became much gentler, "It's okay, I'm still here. This is just the first floor of the Underdark, and we will stay here for a while until you get used to everything underground. We There is still a long way to go, the magic weapon is located in the back of the middle layer of the Underdark, even deeper into the ground than the city of Bramodia where I was born, we all need a lot of attempts..." He paused, "There is already the sound of running water ahead, the Fungus Cave should not be far away."

This time, they did not encounter any dangerous situation. It only took ten minutes. The cave above them suddenly opened up and turned into a huge cave with a radius of several miles. flow down.Around the cave, there are densely packed mushroom forests as high as half a person, and a faint white light flickers in the rock wall above.

Hong Ming blinked his eyes. Although the light was dim, his eyes were finally able to see.It's just that the underground world in front of him is not as boring as he guessed, only black and gray.On the contrary, this world presents a gorgeous color, the ground is made up of different shades of red, dark green moss and ground vines occupy most of the rock wall, and blue, red, purple mushroom stars are distributed among the mushroom bushes , like delicate flowers, coupled with the shining white light on the zenith, it is almost like a wonderful dream.

"You seem quite surprised. Didn't you expect the ground to look like this?"

"I...didn't expect so many colors, I mean mushrooms and rock walls..."

"This is underground, which contains the most abundant mineral deposits in the entire continent, so ground of various colors is not uncommon. As for those beautiful mushrooms, ha~~ In the dark area, any brightly colored creature is highly poisonous, please keep in mind this point."

After saying this, San took a step forward and carefully observed everything in the cave.After about 5 minutes, he pointed to a direction.

"Look there."

Following Sarn's fingers, Hong Ming looked deep into the mushroom bushes. On a cliff, several figures were moving slowly. They were not very tall, and looked very strange, between humanoid creatures and plants.

"Ghost?"

"Well, those are the mushroom people, a strange creature that is a mixture of humanoid creatures and poisonous mushrooms. Most of them live in groups on the first floor of the Underdark, and this mushroom people kingdom is also the first tribe that blocks our way forward."

These creatures didn't seem to be threatening, but Hong Ming didn't speak rashly. Everything he knew was no longer applicable to the underground world.After a while, he asked hesitantly, "Then how do we get through here? With a flying sword?"

"Let's try to negotiate first, if it doesn't work, then use other methods..." Sarn slightly raised the corner of his mouth, turned his head to look directly into Hong Ming's eyes, a trace of teasing flashed in the bright red eyes, "You'll get used to this. Welcome to the Underdark."
