Chapter 890: Underground World
The deep, dark underground, no matter in which world, is synonymous with "mystery" for surface creatures.
Compared with the obstruction of vision and the psychological pressure brought by the unknown darkness, most creatures that have been accustomed to the surface environment are extremely resistant to diving into the underground.
This mentality even includes two fearless female knights, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Sean is different. He spent his apprenticeship in the dark underground world.
Including later studying magicians in the Azure Source Holy Tower, Sean also prefers a quiet and dark research environment. I don’t know if it was influenced by the habitual atmosphere during his apprenticeship.
When most surface creatures in the wizard world have an inexplicable rejection and resistance to the dark and depressing underground environment.
Sean has an inexplicable affinity and adaptability to the underground world.
Being in the dark, Sean can feel inexplicably at ease.
Perhaps, only people like Sean, who have been integrated into and adapted to darkness, can truly thrive in a dark environment.
The speed at which the third-level Golo earthworms escaped on the earth is not slow.
With Sean's mental strength, he only tracked the other party for more than ten minutes before he completely lost the other party's sense in the intricate underground space.
It is worth mentioning that when Sean and others just dived into the underground from the surface, there was indeed only one passage in front of them, which was drilled out by the third-level Golo earthworms.
But ten minutes later, when they reached a depth of several thousand meters underground, countless black caves and landforms similar to stalactites appeared in the sight of Sean and others.

Sure enough, no matter which plane, the underground world has certain commonalities.
The underground world of the Gumo plane in front of Sean reminded Sean of the underground space in the dark area of the wizard world.
However, compared with the Underdark, the underground world of the Akale Plain has a wider internal space and more caves and caves.
Being in it, it feels like being in a huge maze.
The reason for this is that the Golo Earthworms are good at digging holes.
Not only the Akale Plain, but it can be said that two-thirds of the underground space of the entire Gumo plane has been opened up by these highly adaptable Golo Earthworms to create a suitable living environment.
If ordinary Golo Earthworms were not too small and too low in intelligence, these Golo Earthworms would have established their own country long ago and become the only dominant group in the Gumo plane.
"In the underground world of our wizard world, because the magic element and energy concentration of the entire plane are very high, there are a large number of luminous plants and special minerals."
"These lights, which seem insignificant to surface creatures, are the source of life for the underground world."
"But this Gumo plane... doesn't seem to have too many light-based minerals and special plants with luminous abilities." Sean said with a frown.
Neither Nataya nor Lena had ever traveled to the underground world of the wizard world.
Therefore, the vast underground space is still a synonym for mystery and unknown to them.
Knights have always advocated strength, but at this moment, facing Sean's erudition and calm tone, the two women also felt a lot more at ease.
This is the sense of security brought by a learned spellcaster.
Nataya leaned closely against Sean's light elemental body. It was unknown whether she was taking advantage of Sean or was really a little afraid of the dark.
Yuli, who was in the constructed puppet, curled her lips quietly. She also wanted to go up and lean on Sean's arms, but she could only think about it.
The light element possessed by Sean's elemental body illuminated this underground world, but compared with the entire vast underground space, Sean's little light was insignificant.
While appreciating the underground world of the Gumo plane that was different from the wizard world, Sean led Lena and the others to continue moving forward.
Although he couldn't find where the fleeing level 3 Golo earthworm had gone, Sean still found a lot of signs of low-level life activities with his mental power and several detection magics.
During the war, Sean didn't have to kill level 2 or 3 or higher alien creatures.
If he could kill a large number of level 1 creatures, or a larger number of indigenous cannon fodder legions, the Saint Tower Operations Command would also give him mission points.
This place is located underground in the Akale Plain. Apart from anything else, there are definitely a lot of Golo earthworms that have suffered certain injuries and instinctively burrowed underground for shelter.
...Fighting is not the main theme of a magician's life, but research is.
Maybe some people think this kind of time is extremely boring, but most wizards in the wizard world, including Sean, enjoy it.
After arriving at the underground world of the Akale Plain, on the seventeenth day, Sean began his own experimental research in an underground cave dug by external forces.
Only a pervert like Sean can do research during the war.
In the past seventeen days, Sean took Nataya and Lena to many places in this underground world and collected many rare resources and materials that were difficult for surface creatures to access.
Amber-like gray stone lakes, pitch-black underground rivers with a pungent smell of burning, some eyeless, one-meter-tall indigenous humanoid creatures, and many unheard-of and unseen indigenous monsters from other planes... These are what Sean and his companions have seen in the past half a month.
It can be seen that the underground resources of the Gumo plane are well protected.
The true value of this low-level plane is far greater than the estimate before the war.
To put it bluntly, because these hundreds of millions of Golo earthworms have unconsciously opened up a second world for the Gumo plane in the process of digging holes, surviving, and reproducing for countless years.
The body fluids secreted by the Golo earthworms have extremely high viscosity, which can consolidate the underground space of the Gumo world full of caves and prevent large-scale collapse.
Through research, Sean learned that the feces of these earthworms also have extremely high concentrations of organic components, which are the best soil fertilizer and nutrients for lower animals and plants.
That's why such a colorful underground world is decorated!
If the Dark Fire Holy Tower successfully conquers the Gumo plane, it means that in addition to occupying the vast surface world and being able to develop surface resources, they also have an additional underground world of equal breadth and depth.
Occupying one plane is equivalent to occupying two!
Only the Gumo plane that gave birth to the Golo earthworm has such a shocking nature.
No wonder the fifth-level magician Dark Fire is unwilling to share the Gumo plane with other powerful wizards above the fourth level.
No matter how much it cost during the war, the total amount of resources and wealth in the Gumo plane is enough to double it back!
