Chapter 687 Underworld
This family-based Odin orc herder has completely become a thing of the past, and his bones have been turned into a part of the soil.
Just wandering around, Sean was able to imagine the situation at that time.
This Odin orc herder is in the deepest slumber.
Under their tent, a horrible, devouring blood basin burst out of the ground. It took only four mouthfuls to swallow their family, including their four tents, into their stomachs.
Afterwards, they aimed at their herd, repeating their old tricks. The two huge heads haunted no less than ten times and devoured no less than ten animals. The other animals fled in haste at night because of the broken fence. In the prairie.
The legend among the Odin orcs mentioned by Ban Hebrew's main chief of staff now seems to be not a simple legend.
Judging from the crime scene left by the purple worm, it is definitely a skilled veteran, knowing that these Odin orcs are the most threatening.
It's not that these Odin orcs can harm it, but that during its feeding process, it is possible to let the captive animals go.
Only by eating them first can the benefits be maximized.
"It seems that the previous ice attack caused him serious injuries, but the energy crystallization can only provide him with the energy to survive, but it cannot provide him with the basic substances to repair the injuries, so it must eat Only normal flesh and blood can make it." Xiao En made bold guesses and inferences about the current behavior of the purple worm.
Dragon Soul Clarence nodded and said: "Master's speculation is very correct. This is common to all magical creatures. Unless they are elemental creatures, since all flesh and blood creatures cannot completely rely on energy, they need to eat flesh and blood more or less. Food, especially in the process of growing or repairing injuries, a lot of blood food is essential."
"Now that we know its purpose, it will be much easier to track it down." Sean cheered up, "Keep chasing it."
Without hesitation, Sean burrowed into the entrance of the passage where the purple worm left.
The reason Sean said that was because in this way, he could conduct two-line tracking.
The energy avatar determines the general departure direction of the earth-digging purple worm underground, and then uses the faster thunder golden eagle to cast a net in this direction, circling back and forth, especially looking for the gathering places of the tiny Odin orc tribes, looking for the earth-digging purple worm Signs of an attack broke out.
As long as it can be confirmed that it is its trace, Sean can ignore all the confusing traces on the road and just walk in this direction quickly.
In this way, a lot of time will be saved and the distance between the two sides will be shortened as soon as possible.
After a try, it really works.
After finding the spot where the burrowing worms attacked the Odin orc herdsmen twice in a row, the distance between the two sides has become very close.
The magic mud left by the earth-digging purple worms has not yet completely condensed into stones. If the Jinglei golden eagle had arrived one step earlier, they might have witnessed the hunting of the earth-digging purple worms.
Originally, Xiao En thought that he would catch up with the purple worm before or during its next attack.
Xiao En is more inclined to launch an attack on the earth-digging purple worm during the latter time. After all, there are many methods that cannot be used underground.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the rapid changes. After Xiao En caught up again, he obviously felt that the purple worms were not like the last two times. They only moved three or four meters below the surface to facilitate the detection of prey on the surface. Visibly deep underground.
"What's going on? Could it be that this guy has already eaten enough flesh and blood, and is preparing to go deep underground to recuperate? Even if he is recuperating, he should not be raised here. He should return to the energy mine. That kind of high-concentration energy environment is His favorite is." As Sean walked, he discussed with Dragon Soul Clarence about the abnormal behavior of the earth-digging purple worm.
During this thousand-mile hunt, Sean discovered that the biggest benefit of bringing Clarence the Dragon Soul with him was that he had an extra knowledgeable magic consultant out of thin air. In terms of magic, the other party was not a master, but a grandmaster.
The soul container infused with the power of law has a very good nurturing effect on their souls. It is helping the dragon souls to reorganize their souls. With those scattered memories as the foundation, coupled with external stimuli, they can recall a lot of magic. Knowledge.
Moreover, the lawful and good camp of the other party is not for nothing, and all kinds of views are tilted in the direction of saints. Xiao En thinks that he will not be able to become such a person in this life, but it does not prevent him from admiring such a person.
Although there are many things about Sean that Clarence the Dragon Soul criticized, the five-good youths forged under the new socialist red flag are quite upright in their various concepts, and they are definitely not in line with anti-social chaos and evil. Overall, the compatibility between the two is quite good.
"I don't know, maybe there is food that suits his appetite better underground." Dragon Soul Clarence replied.
"The ground is either soil or rocks. What food is there that is good for it?" Sean's doubts became more serious.
"The underground here may not be as simple as you imagined." Dragon Soul Clarence said meaningfully.
"Hey, I entered the old underground passage again. It seems that this guy is not coming here for the first time. The most annoying thing is to encounter this kind of situation, the tracking eye." Sean immediately added a spell for himself. On the way, there is only one path leading to the end. After the spell stopped taking effect, he did not make up for it.
"I'm going, it's so big, how many times has this guy drilled back and forth here? The whole under the Odin grassland will not be hollowed out by it, right?" Facing the new underground passage, Xiao En His eyes widened in surprise.
It can no longer be called an underground passage, but a huge underground cave. The light technique cast by Clarence, the dragon soul, can no longer illuminate the top and sides of the underground passage in a space of more than ten meters.
This is the largest underground passage Sean has come across during his long pursuit of the purple worm.
As Dragon Soul Clarence said, this guy rarely takes the same path.
For him, as long as there is land, there are roads, and it is enough to reclaim the past.
Since there are signs of repeated reclamation here like an energy mine, it means that there must be something attracting it underground.
In this world, what else is this guy interested in?
Sean couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity.
The emergence of underground caves obviously increased the difficulty for Xiao En to track down the purple worms. He had to search the surrounding area carefully to make sure that there were no repeated traces, so as to save himself from going the wrong way.
"Squeak..."
A piercing scream suddenly echoed in the underground cavern.
A human-shaped shadow suddenly jumped past Xiao En's side, and it disappeared in a flash.
"Who?" Sean, who was concentrating on searching for the purple worm, was taken aback. He held the ancestral spear tightly and looked around vigilantly.
In the dark, silent and uninhabited underground passage, no one can bear such a sudden attack.
its not right.
This place should be hundreds of meters deep underground, how could there be people?
That's not right, if it's human, why can't I feel their souls?
Now that I am an energy body, seeing people is not only based on vision, but also the perception of the soul, which does not need to rely on light.
"Squeak..."
The ear-piercing screams not only did not disappear, but became one after another. With the faint light, Xiao En felt that there were many people around him, and he seemed to be surrounded.
"It's a human or a ghost, come out and speak." Sean said loudly, the energy of the Ancestral Spear technique surged, and the ice spear would gushing out at any time.
"Squeak..."
The only response to Shawn was high and low screams.
"Damn, when you have time, you must go back and look through it. If there are any spells related to night vision, let me see what the hell you are! Flares!" Sean waved his hand, and a white light shot out, flying out full of Twenty meters later, it exploded suddenly, and dazzling white light radiated everywhere.
The space of tens of meters around was completely illuminated into daylight.
It was enough for Sean to see the surrounding situation clearly, but in this way, he had more doubts in his heart.
In the underground cave that I thought was empty, it looked like it was full of vitality. Both the ground and the walls were full of various fungi and mushrooms.
These fungus mushrooms are much bigger and weirder than the fungus mushrooms Sean knew.
Some were thick and tall, as big as a man.
Some are quietly floating in the air.
Some have a mouth-like organ on the head, which constantly spews out air and screams piercingly.
Some pulled out their own octopus-claw-like roots from the ground, and they were crawling towards themselves. In the case of poor lighting, they looked like human figures, but their crawling speed was not ideal, which gave people a feeling of octopus. A feeling of dangling all the time.
"The big one is the Mushroom Tree, the most common species in the Underdark. It is known for its tenacious vitality. As long as there is a little mineral and water, they can thrive. If there is a relatively abundant energy environment, it would be even better. Their height will be even more astonishing, as high as the underground caves, they can be as high as they are, and they are the food foundation for most creatures in the Underdark.
The kind floating in the air, called gas spores, is an associated species of the mushroom tree. When creatures die in the mushroom forest, the seeds of the mushroom tree fall on them, relying on the spores grown from their flesh and blood, If a living thing strays into it and accidentally touches these poisonous gas spores, it is likely to be killed by their poisonous gas. The corpse will not only give birth to new poisonous gas spores, but also become nutrients for the mushroom tree.
The screaming one is called the screaming fungus. I don’t need to say more about the origin of the name. You should already have a deep understanding. As long as there is light or creatures approaching them, they will make piercing screams, trying to scare off all kinds of creatures. Predator, but its taste should be the best among all mushrooms, if you have a chance, you can taste it.
The ones that are preparing to escape are called purple mushrooms. They belong to activated plants. Like poisonous gas spores, these guys are also carnivores, and they can only grow new ones in the bodies of various creatures. They usually only grow on large In the mushroom tree forest, there are enough creatures here to keep them alive. "
A middle-aged female voice explained in Sean's ear, which reminded him of Mr. David Attenborough in his previous life.
The on-site commentator is none other than Clarence the Dragon Soul.
"You know everything?" Sean's face darkened.
"On the way here, there has been some speculation, but I'm just not sure." Dragon Soul Clarence's lawful and kind nature does prevent him from lying, but it doesn't mean he can't hide something.
"Since I guessed it, why didn't you tell me earlier." Sean asked angrily.
"If I told you in advance, wouldn't I lose the fun of exploring the Underdark?" Dragon Soul Clarence said eloquently, "Besides, we should be in the most marginal area now, and the possibility of encountering terrifying predators is very slim. Spores and purple mushrooms are not a small threat to ordinary people, but to us energy bodies, it is not a problem at all."
As he said that, Clarence the Dragon Soul vibrated his short wings and flew forward, grabbing a poisonous gas spore.
With a light touch, the poison gas spore burst, and a cloud of green-gray poison gas enveloped it firmly.
But when it comes to the fine gold body manipulated by the dragon soul Clarence, it is completely useless.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, but I don't need any adventure experience. I prefer to be on the safe side. If there are any speculations I don't know, please tell me." Come over, try to stretch the octopus claw roots towards your own purple fungus, and sweep them all to the ground.
The surging cold air turned them into lumps of ice on the spot, and they couldn't die any more.
Then he manipulated the ice arrow and shot it out following the sound, nailing the screaming mushrooms one by one. He didn't have the desire to taste these weird mushrooms for the time being.
Forehead!
The energy avatar does not have this function either.
"My speculation is only based on known conditions, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed." Dragon Soul Clarence declared in advance.
"You just talk about your conjectures. I will judge other things by myself." Sean said impatiently. This guy is good at everything, but he is often a bit long-winded. He is too disciplined and naturally lacks flexibility.
"Previously, I speculated that the earth-digging purple worm went underground because it wanted to find ore veins and eat ore to repair its damaged carapace. Now it seems that this guess has gone wrong. It is more likely that there is a second one here. The energy mine, the one whose attributes are more compatible with it, was once connected to the Underdark region, so it can be explained why there are earth-digging purple worms and many species belonging to the Underdark region." Dragon Soul Clarence said made his own guess.
"Another energy mine?" Sean rubbed his forehead and cursed angrily, "How did I realize recently that this world is like a sieve, full of holes?"
"The Dharma-ending era has not completely wiped out existences like me, and the existence of natural warlocks like the master has fully demonstrated that the plane laws of this world are not perfect. It may even have been destroyed by one or more people many years ago. This world is stared at, and may even be locked by space anchors. It is normal to leave nodes that have tried to break through before. The master must pay close attention to these nodes. They have become the weakest place in this world. It is possible to continue to make breakthroughs from these nodes." Dragon Soul Clarence said seriously, "This is the unshirkable responsibility of a son of a plane like the master, and your ability to find these nodes is the best proof. Not by chance, but by necessity."
