In a dome fifty miles away from the inner sea, the sound of heavy chisels broke the silence of the Underdark.In a mine pit more than ten meters wide, several subterranean dwarves were silently waving pickaxes and steel shovels, peeling away the hard rock layers in the deep pit layer by layer, digging deep into the ground.This scene is not so extraordinary, and it can even be said to be one of the most common sights in the Underdark, but the exposed rock formations on the top of the mine have completely changed its nature.Immediately above this cave, sheets of crystal stones are piled up together, reflecting almost blurred colors under the faint fluorescent light.On the cave wall farther away, a faint blue mineral vein showed its amazing color and purity through the cracks in the rock. Its value and magical effect were enough to arouse the greed of any humanoid creature.

But these two obvious treasures were left behind by the subterranean gnomes. They just gathered under the mine that was barren enough to be seen through at a glance, waving the tools in their hands vigorously, with dull eyes and slow movements, mechanically repeating the digging action .All of this is so weird that it cannot be explained by common sense. Under the fluorescent light emitted by those beautiful gemstones, it looks even more terrifying.

A few hundred meters away from this mine, stands a strange creature.It looks like a humanoid creature, but the body is not composed of bones and muscles, but a pile of glial medullary bodies that resemble brain tissue, fixed by a layer of thick dura mater, rough outlining the shape of the limbs.Red blood vessels like tendons spread all over the body, and a few things resembling mouths and noses were entwined around the places where the five sense organs should be.It stood facing the direction of the mine, barely moving except for an occasional unnatural trembling.

Farther away, in the darkness away from the ore's fluorescence, several illithids stood on the cliff, carefully surrounding a tall and majestic Soul Eater, as if surrounding a king.These evil creatures from the ground stared in the direction of the mine pit. This dome was wide enough and relatively flat. Standing here was enough to see every move below.After a long time, the Soul Eater nodded and communicated with his companions telepathically.

[The effect of the Brain Golem is very good.Although the soul stored in its body will also be affected to some extent, it is enough to control the gnomes.Has the new slave arrived? 】【Sorry, my lord. 】Another illithid wearing a luxurious purple-red robe slightly squirmed the tentacles on his lips, as if making an apology gesture. [The group of drow controlled the slave market, and several gnome cities also recalled the prospecting team. It is not easy for us to add new slaves. 】【Drow...】The consciousness released by the Soul Eater is not friendly, its milky white eyes stare gloomyly at the situation below, 【Are they still wandering around? 】【The inspection team seems to have decreased, or we can't easily detect them. 】The Soul Eater's expression became more dangerous, but he didn't make any unnecessary movements, just held up the translucent sphere hanging on his chest - if someone knows enough about illithids, it's not difficult to find that this is a A rare portable brain aid, for these monsters who cannot do without the wisdom of the master brain to acquire some special skills-its brain waves penetrated the small brains suspended in the sphere, and got in touch with the brain golem in front of the mine.

【Boost! 】

For this battle machine created by the mastermind, nothing is more effective than simple commands. Its body shook slightly, and a mental wave that was almost visible to the naked eye attacked the subterranean gnomes in the mine.Following this whip, the subterranean dwarfs moved a little faster, digging harder at the rock formation under their feet.

The Soul Eater put down his brain aid, looked straight down at the hotter excavation site, and showed a sneer.

[For any single soul creature, this thing will be a catastrophe.Only a great Mastermind can wield this artifact.Those stupid drow will pay for their arrogance. ] Beside, a few illithids bowed their tentacles humbly, expressing their agreement with their leader's conclusion.

After stepping out of the elevator, Sann showed a sign language to the gnome. [You go back first, and leave the rest to us. ] Belen nodded solemnly. On the way, he had already drawn up a detailed map of the shaft leading to the mine pit. For a defected drow who has been wandering underground for so long, there is no need for more help. 【I will stay at the entrance of the cave and wait for your return. 】 Sarn nodded, expressing his understanding.Their plan is actually very simple. After obtaining the artifact, they will pass through the shaft as quickly as possible. The moment they step out of the shaft, the subterranean dwarves will re-seal the hole with an earth element monster to block all possible enemies.As long as there is no powerful enemy who can accurately locate and open the dimension door at will, they are safe.

The elevator slowly moved upwards again, Sarn took a last look at the exit of the shaft, and turned his gaze back to Hong Ming.After several hours of meditation, his spirits were full again, and he was obviously back to his best condition.

"How is it? Let's set off." Although the road ahead is still dangerous, Sarn's heart is no longer uneasy and apprehensive. It seems that the things that have tortured him for most of his life are slowly going away.As long as you stand by this person's side, he is no longer alone.

"Naturally." Hong Ming nodded slightly, the discomfort and anxiety after entering the ground faintly dissipated, and now there is a more straightforward emotion spreading in his chest.He wanted to protect the man beside him, to fill his heart with that kind of relaxed sweetness, and to let him be carefree and indulge.Hong Ming stretched out his hand and pulled up the hood, covering his face... Don't get excited, he whispered to himself, now you need more calmness and careful thinking to fulfill your wish.

Seemingly feeling the thoughts in Hong Ming's heart, Sarn showed a slight smile, pulled up his hood, and walked forward.

Standing at the end of the line, Nero looked into the distance vigilantly.In fact, there are no enemies around them now, and the group of illithids are still in the mine dozens of miles away, but compared to the scene in the team, he would rather look into the distance.

This is a team composed purely of the elites of the Nessert family, fifty of the most elite fighters, two Dafa, four high-ranking priestesses, and the Nessert mistress almost poured out her own pockets. Such a team , as long as two hundred ordinary soldiers are added, it is enough to wipe out any family in Samarien City.However, such a powerful force is still not enough to erase his fear, because in the middle of the line, a giant black spider is moving its thick eight legs, crawling quickly on the ground, its claws rubbing against the rustling ground The noise was enough to wake any underground creature, but this monster didn't care, and no creature could pose any threat to it worth worrying about.

This is the legendary wax melting demon.When Nero saw it for the first time, he was almost overwhelmed by this pure dark power. This is the most trusted servant of the goddess, and it is also a powerful existence that can determine a dark elf city.But Nero didn't show any abnormality. The fear in his heart may please the other party, but the disgust and hatred will easily kill him. No one dares to show a similar emotion in front of the wax melting monster, even if it is just such a thought flashing in his heart .For the drows, this harsh monster is always a sharp sword hanging above their heads, and the blade will cut off at any time.

At this time, a figure in the distance brought back Nero's thoughts, it was a sentry going to the pit.After only a few breaths, he ran to Nero and reported what he had seen and heard in the past few days.Hearing these news, the captain of the young Nessert family guard slowly frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he finally walked quickly to the formation.

When he was about to enter the inner circle, Nafiya Nessert stopped him.As the eldest daughter of the Nessert family, Nafeya is the person in charge of this operation and the only liaison officer between the family and the mistress.She looked at her mother's new servant with unfriendly eyes, and showed a mocking smile.

"What happened?"

Unexpectedly, he would be stopped, Nero quickly put away the expression on his face, and bowed to the eldest daughter with a little reservedness. "The news from the front is back, I want to tell Lord Wa Rong Yao..."

"You are a man, Master Waxong Yao is not something men can casually peek at, pay attention to your identity!" Nafiya interrupted him unceremoniously, "Speak directly if you have anything to say."

Now that the whole team is in the mind control area of ​​the Waxmelt Demon, this kind of word trick is really boring, but this is the way the dark elves never get tired of playing. For this, Nero, who can climb onto the bed of the mistress, really knows it all too well.He didn't protest, just said everything he knew.

"Nine illithids were found near the pit, and one of them was an advanced Soul Eater. It seems to be a Brain Golem that manipulated the gnomes to dig..."

"Brain Golem?" The eldest daughter let out a short low laugh, "It seems that this group of illithids spent a lot of money... Okay, I see, pay attention to start shrinking the patrol team, if this plan is ruined From you stupid men, no one can save you, including my mother."

Ignoring the hidden meaning in the eldest daughter's words, Nero bowed and stood where she was until she turned to leave.After a while, the wax melted demon's arrogant laughter echoed in the cave.

[Brain Golem?Can the mastermind of Deep Sea City only come up with this?These brainless idiots! ! ! 】Abyssal language sounds strange and terrifying, but the mental attack hit every drow's heart, and most of them trembled slightly.The monster didn't take it seriously, it just propped up a stronger spiritual barrier with great interest.

[They won't find us.Let the squids dig their heads out, we just need to get the final results.Tell the patrol team that we will sneak into the vault and take cover 6 miles away from the crater. When the artifact is born, it is the moment when we launch a surprise attack. 】All the dark elves bowed their heads under this order, whether it was fear or hatred, as long as the wax melted demon stood by their side, victory belonged to them.I just hope that in this confrontation, I can get greater benefits.At this moment, every drow can't help but think this way...
