Chapter 443 The Dangerous Underground World
According to the information records of the big-headed dolls, there is actually a Kingdom of God in this underground world, and it is a deserted Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is a demiplane. It is a special demiplane established by the gods according to their own needs. However, usually one or two god clans cannot do such a thing as opening up the Kingdom of God because the power required is too powerful. The gods are absolutely incompetent, and only the upper gods can establish the Kingdom of God alone. The garden of Mother Earth is her divine kingdom, a demiplane she established independently.
Generally speaking, there will be a lot of wealth in such a place, because the gods will accumulate all the good things they have collected in this demiplane. After all, there is no place safer than this demiplane.
Although I am surprised that there is an abandoned Kingdom of God in this place, I feel that the reliability of this news is still guaranteed, and the credibility of the big-headed dolls is quite strong.
This scroll recording information about the Kingdom of God is not a collection mission, but an investigation mission. The content of the mission is that there are a large number of terrifying monsters appearing in the death passage, and the source of these monsters is the Kingdom of God, so someone needs to investigate the reason for the increase in the number of monsters.
Since I also plan to go to the Kingdom of God, of course I took on this task by the way. It was incidental anyway. Although the reward is not important to me, it is not a bad thing to be able to increase the favorability level.
After accepting the mission, I ran towards the unknown passage alone, and met several human-faced spiders along the way. I don’t know why there are so many of them in this area, but they act alone. Even if they are large in number, they will not coordinate operations, so they basically pose no threat.
I successfully completed the section marked on the map, and then I saw the entrance to the area that was not marked on the map. This entrance is not actually a formal entrance. The space of the underground world is composed of large and small holes and passages. The connecting passage between this unexplored area and the area we have mastered the map is a twisted and narrow passage, and this passage is very difficult to walk. In fact, this passage was not originally formed for people to pass through. Its entrance to the exploration area is not on the ground, but on a cliff more than three meters above the ground. The height of the entrance is more than two meters, but the width is only about 40 centimeters, and this is not a rectangular entrance. Instead, it looks like an upright olive.
After squeezing through the passage, the inside is slightly more spacious, but the width is still just enough for me to pass through. Moreover, the ground here is not flat, but becomes narrower as you go down. You can't stand on the ground at all. , because the narrow walls on both sides below will pinch your feet, so I can only use two feet to support the walls on both sides. Then his hands moved in the same way, just like Spider-Man, holding on to the wall and moving forward. This is what happens in the game. If you drill a hole like this in reality, you will probably lose your strength within ten minutes.
In fact, this kind of part that requires both hands and feet is pretty good. After moving forward for more than 20 meters, the passage suddenly made a ninety-degree turn and extended downwards. I had to play Spider-Man again and grab the slightly protruding stones on the cave wall to move downward a little bit. Some places were so slippery that I even needed to insert my claws into the wall to position them, otherwise I would fall directly.
This downward passage extended for more than ten meters and then suddenly began to grow larger. Then I found that my arms were not long enough and could no longer support the walls on both sides. The only way I can think of now is to use the dragon rope to rappel. But the premise of this method is that the wall can support my weight, but the facts tell me that this is impossible.
The walls of this passage are a type of limestone with a rather loose structure. When I came down before, I had stepped on several larger rocks due to uneven force. If I used the dragon tendon rope, the size of the rope head would definitely break the rocks, and I would still fall down.
Because this damn thing can't fully support my weight, I can only consider borrowing the power of my magic pet.
In fact, although this kind of place is not very easy for me to walk, it is very easy for Rose Vine. The climbing ability of plants is definitely better than that of animals. They can hang on any steep and rugged place, and the roots of plants can penetrate into the rock formations to share the pressure.
With no other choice, I had to use the rose vine to help send me down. This way the speed was obviously much faster, and soon we descended to the bottom of the channel.
The area of this place is actually not very large, only about four meters in diameter, and this is not the end of the passage, because when it reaches here, the passage becomes a horizontal extension again, and it no longer moves in a regular manner. , but turned into a structure like a twisted ball of thread. The passage is twisted like a struggling insect, and it is still rising slowly. What's more, the most unbearable thing for me is that the height of the passage here is very low. I can only crawl forward on the ground. If I stand up a little, I will hit my head.
It was quite frustrating to crawl in this place for more than half an hour before I finally walked through this passage and entered a quite huge space. According to the map, my current location is considered a detection area. .
"Doesn't it look very dangerous?" Looking at the surrounding environment, which was almost the same as before, I muttered in a low voice, but just this sentence caused the scene in front of me to change drastically.
Just after I finished speaking, a huge flower stamen that was standing in front of me suddenly closed up, and at the same time, the flower turned around. Only then did I realize that the thing in front of me was nothing at all. Flower, but a little monster.
This is a creature that looks a bit like a bear, but it has a row of spine-like things on its back, and this strange thing can also unfold and simulate the appearance of giant flowers. Of course, after this guy turned around, he wasn't as cute as he looked before.
After seeing me, this thing immediately let out a roar at me, and then it was directly penetrated by a spike that suddenly flew from the side, and was taken away sideways. I turned my head and looked in the direction where the spikes were flying. A creature that was more than three meters tall, with the front half of its body standing upright and the back half of its body crawling on the ground like a snake, emerged from a large bush.
The head of this thing looks a bit like an insect. The lower half of the body has a completely snake-like structure, but there is a hole on both sides of this guy's head. Very sharp spikes can be seen in one of the holes, but the other hole is empty. Obviously, this was the guy who shot the bear-like creature with flowers on its back.
After shooting the bear-like monster, the thing turned its head towards me. And he kept coming closer, obviously treating me as his second target. Because of my previous encounter with that thing, I knew that this monster was of the long-range type, so I was just on guard.
In fact, my alertness was valuable, because just when I was on full alert, the spikes in the tube on the other side of the thing suddenly flew out. This thing fired spikes without any warning and at an alarming speed. I had thought it was using air pressure to blow the spikes out. But now it seems that this thing uses a different method to launch spikes, and they are not blown out anyway.
The speed of the spike was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it was in front of me, but I reacted faster, and it shot out the moment before it was about to hit me. The spike was split into two with a snap, but what surprised me was that after firing the spike, the thing rushed up on its own.
Obviously this thing is not only capable of long-range attacks, but its melee capabilities should also be good.
This thing has no limbs, and the only things it can attack are its mouth and tail. Its mouth resembles the mouthparts of an insect. Divided into three parts, the upper jaw is similar to most animals. But the lower jaw can be divided into two parts and open to the left and right sides. There are very scary spikes in this mouthpart, and you can be sure that being bitten is definitely not fun.
The moment I chopped off the spikes, the thing had already rushed up. The first thing to attack was its mouthparts, and it came directly towards my head. Obviously he wanted to kill him with one blow. Of course I won't give it this chance. Just when the monster's head was about to bite me, I suddenly flicked my right hand, and eternity turned into a sharp sword and split the guy's head in half from the middle.
The monster's body fell to the ground, and then twisted and struggled for a while before becoming completely quiet. Obviously the nervous system of this thing is quite low-level, and it still has vitality for such a long time after being cut open. This is definitely not a characteristic of an advanced nervous system.
After killing this monster, I originally planned to go see the bear that had just been impaled to death by the spikes, but before I could leave the body of the big snake, a large piece of land suddenly rose up from the ground next to me. Then a dark-colored creature that looked like a standing dung beetle crawled out from under the ground.
Although this thing looks like a dung beetle, it is not lying on the ground, but walking upright like a human being. Of course, due to physical reasons, this guy's lower legs have a somewhat bow-legged feel, but that's not the point. The point is that this guy has four hands, all holding weapons. Of course, the weapons of this thing are just sticks and stones, not high-end goods.
In fact, this thing itself did not make me feel threatened, because this thing is only 1.9 meters tall, not a large creature, and there is only one, so I am not worried about being attacked by this thing. However, when this thing came out and looked at me, it didn't attack. Instead, it suddenly opened the elytra on its back.
I can see its elytra vibrating, but I can't hear any sound. Obviously the sound emitted by its elytra is some kind of ultrasonic or infrasound wave. Out of my hearing range anyway.
This thing kept staring at me while it was vibrating its wings, and I didn't move. However, I soon discovered that there were a large number of creatures approaching. In less than two minutes, dozens of these black humanoid bugs appeared within my sight, and new bugs were arriving one after another.
Looking at more and more bugs, I was not afraid, but began to try to communicate with them. These bugs were armed with weapons, although most were rocks or sticks, but I actually saw one bug holding a simple bow.
Being able to make a bow is definitely not an instinctive behavior of animals, because a bow seems simple, but it represents a deep understanding of the tool. Therefore, if you can hold a bow and fight, these creatures can at least be judged as intelligent. Race.
Although I tried to communicate with these creatures, it was obvious that these things did not want to communicate with me. They stared at me very nervously and kept calling for their companions. Soon the number of bugs around him exceeded double digits and started to count in the hundreds.
"Damn it, you're not trying to kill me, are you?" I looked at these bugs with some worry, and then began to secretly prepare.
I'm actually not worried about my safety. Although there are more and more bugs, they are only just over a hundred at the moment. And seeing that their gathering speed is getting slower and slower, it shows that the number of these guys is not very large, and they should be reaching the limit. Most people might be a little worried if they see more than a hundred of these bugs, but I have tens of thousands of summoned creatures, how could I be scared by hundreds of big bugs?
Looking at more and more bugs, I can only wait. I hope they don't communicate with me just because they don't understand or because the boss is not here, rather than because they don't intend to communicate at all.
With this expectation. I waited for a while, and the bugs on the opposite side did not disappoint me. Just when I was about to lose my patience, the bugs in front suddenly parted a path, and then I saw two very special bugs walking out surrounded by a lot of bugs.
These two bugs were not wearing any clothes, but I could tell at a glance that these two bugs were different from other bugs.
One of the two bugs is a big one. He is at least two meters tall, and his entire body is much stronger than the surrounding bugs. You can tell at a glance that this is definitely the leader, because his size is so obvious.
Another special bug is a very slender bug. This bug looks very cool. Although it can be seen that this guy is of the same race as other bugs, the other bugs are as round as dung beetles. This guy is so long and thin that he looks like a stick insect.
After these two bugs appeared, the surrounding bugs no longer called for their companions, but closed their wings one after another. However, these bugs were much more alert than before. They all stared at me, as if they were afraid that I would do something detrimental to the two newly arrived insects.
After these two special bugs appeared, they stared at me for a while, and then the stick insect-like guy among them suddenly spoke. Although this guy's voice is rather strange, it sounds like the voice of an electronically synthesized robot, but I can barely understand it.
"Are you from outside? A stranger."
"Of course, you have never seen anyone like me here. Of course I am from outside. Are you residents here? Why are you surrounding me?"
The other party seemed a little unable to react after hearing my words. After digesting it for a while, he said: "We are residents here and you are an outsider. We don't know whether you will be disadvantageous to us, so we can only Take precautions first."
"Then what are you going to do now? Start a war with me? Or do you think there is any way to prove that I am not a threat?"
"This is very simple." The long and slender stick insect said to me: "The person next to me is our clan leader. You only need to fight with him. If you win, you can move freely. If you fail, then sorry."
"Want to fight? This is simple." Of course I have no problem with such a simple thing.
The sturdy insect over there and the stick insect next to me communicated with each other in a strange language, then looked towards me and walked out.
The stick insect said to me: "You just need to defeat him."
I took one look at the big bug and asked, "Can I use weapons?"
The stick insect over there nodded and said, "Of course."
"Understood, just shout to start."
"You can start whenever you're ready."
The stick insect obviously has quite a lot of confidence in his clan leader, but unfortunately, this guy is not as powerful as he thought, or I am much more powerful than they imagined. The big guy charged directly at the two after getting ready. He was different from ordinary bugs. There were jagged barbs on the outside of his four arms, which made his attack very powerful. Of course, this so-called great power is only aimed at these insects and does not pose any threat to me.
The moment the big bug rushed over, I used a beautiful roundhouse kick to send it back. However, the guy's defense seemed to be good, and he got up again after being kicked away by me. But after knowing that this guy's defense was very high, I let go. Before, I was afraid that I would kill them if I hit them too hard. Then I would definitely offend these bugs. Although I am not afraid of them, I don't want to cause trouble. Especially since he is a native, I still need to investigate this place. It is better to have a group of helpers than an extra enemy that can cause trouble, right?
After I completely let go of my hands and feet, the insect completely lost its ability to fight. After being ravaged by me, it was completely knocked unconscious. After that, the stick insect was very trustworthy and gave up on surrounding me. His explanation is also quite reasonable.
According to their theory, since their boss can't beat me, they have little chance of winning even if they fight me to the death, and I don't show much threat, so they don't need to target me anymore.
Although this theory is relatively simple, it has to be said that it is quite practical.
After gaining acceptance from these big insects, I began to communicate with the stick insect. This underground world is very large, and it is obviously unrealistic for me to explore it alone, but with the information provided by these bugs, it would be much easier. However, it seems that only the stick insect in this place can speak English. The other insects all use a special language that cannot be translated by the translation system, but it is enough to have this stick insect as a translator. (To be continued ~^~)
