Chapter 191: Journey Underground

The dark and deep underground ruins were surrounded by silence.

There is a trace of humidity and coldness in the air. Due to the lack of exposure to sunlight all year round, there are almost no plants growing in the underground ruins. Except for some gray moss and fungi can be seen between the rock formations and stone crevices.

Tick ​​tock!

Countless stalactites hang down from the rock formations at the top of the cave. Water drops drip from above and hit the rocks below. If they persist, they will create a depression with a pool of clear water inside.

"Hoo! Hoo"

Rapid breathing resounded in the silence. A downcast figure stumbled to the rock. His physical strength seemed to be at its limit. He stumbled and fell to the ground. When he saw the clear water in the depression of the rock, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Like a traveler in the desert who is short of water, and like a hungry beast.

He used the last of his strength to throw his body onto the rock, licking the water greedily. His chapped lips felt wet, and his whole body was like a dead tree receiving sweet rain, regaining a trace of life.

After drinking up the water in the stone recess, he raised his head and looked around with vigilant eyes. He saw several gray mushrooms growing in the rock formations. He immediately reached out and picked them out. Regardless of whether they were poisonous or not, he stuffed them into his mouth hungrily.

"Without the protection of Falling Night City, you degenerates are really in a sorry state."

A sudden voice suddenly sounded, and in the darkness ahead, a gleam of light bloomed in vain. Several figures slowly walked over, and Caroline said with a teasing smile on her face.

"Surface Wizard!" The Fallen's expression changed, and his body trembled with fear.

"A second-level apprentice fallen." Lafite took a step forward and sneered, "According to the reward offered by Uncle Ulysses, your head can be exchanged for a bounty of 200 magic stones!"

"No! Don't kill me. Sirs, I am willing to surrender!" The fallen apprentice knelt on the ground and begged with a trembling voice.

"Surrender? We don't need that." Caroline covered her mouth and chuckled.

"If that's the case, then go die!"

Suddenly, a trace of ferocity flashed in the fallen apprentice's eyes. He was kneeling on the ground, but he got up in vain. A serrated scimitar appeared in his hand at an unknown moment, and he pounced on Caroline like a wild beast.

"Lightning Strike Technique!"

Next to him, Lafite's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand to release a bolt of lightning, which pierced the fallen man's chest like a sharp sword. The strong energy penetrated a hole, and the surrounding flesh and blood seemed to be burnt.

"Uh." The fallen apprentice looked painful, and his stiff body fell to the ground.

"Hehe, we killed another fallen apprentice!"

Caroline smiled. She had been prepared just now. Even if Lafite didn't take action, he could still block the fallen man's counterattack before his death. Seeing that the fallen man was already dead, she clapped her hands excitedly and said, "We just entered the underground." After two days in the ruins, this is already the third fallen person, and the total bounty is 600 magic stones.”

"It's a pity that I have never met a third-level fallen apprentice." Lafite said regretfully.

According to the bounty offered by Thunder City, the higher the level of the fallen, the higher the bounty. Among them, the first-level fallen is 50 magic stones, the second-level fallen is 200 magic stones, and the head of the third-level fallen can be exchanged for 400 magic stones.

"The head of a third-level fallen person can almost be exchanged for an intermediate-level demonized item." Caroline looked longingly.

"After the collapse of the Night City, the fallen wizards became street rats." Enzo shook his head and said, "Those third-level fallen ones, in order to escape pursuit, hid deep in the underground ruins. It is not easy to find them. "

After solving the second-level degenerate, everyone was busy and then continued to move forward.

"Chip, turn on the detection function and scan all nearby life forms."

The deeper you go into the underground ruins, the more complicated the environment becomes. In addition to caves and tunnels, there are countless twists and turns in the rock formations, as well as waterways eroded by thousands of years of water. The fallen may be in some dark corner, making it difficult to detect.

After two days in the underground ruins, Enzo discovered the three fallen ones he had encountered before using a chip.

"Ding! A life form was found 1,000 meters ahead. According to energy level analysis, it is suspected to be a third-level wizard apprentice!"

As Enzo was promoted to a third-level apprentice and his soul underwent a transformation, the chip seemed to have been upgraded. The original detection function extended up to 500 meters around, but now it has been increased to 1,000 meters.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

Enzo looked towards the direction indicated by the chip. It was a long and narrow passage. The entrance was a cave that was only large enough for one person to enter. It was dark inside and seemed very depressing.

He took the first step and walked into the corridor.

Several others followed, and Eve used witchcraft to create a spot of light to illuminate for everyone. Isaac suddenly noticed that the mushrooms growing in the cracks in the rocks in the corner of the corridor showed signs of being picked.

"It seems that someone has indeed been here." Isaac said solemnly.

The team soon arrived at the end of the corridor. It was still dark ahead, but the space suddenly opened up. In a dirty and shabby camp, there was a group of short green-skinned goblins gathered around an iron pot.

"Chip, scan!"

Enzo raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. He did not rush into the goblin camp, but turned on the chip scanning function for them first.

"Target: Green Goblin/Strength: 0.5/Constitution: 0.4/Spirit: 0.4/Information: Green Goblin living in underground ruins, timid by nature, social creatures at the bottom of the food chain, with strong reproductive ability, and no requirements for food, except for soil and stones, everything is in their menu."

The busy goblins in the camp are not witchcraft-transformed creatures.

They are just some ordinary green goblins, there are a lot of them in the underground ruins, although they are weak, but with their strong reproductive ability, their race is distributed in every corner of the underground ruins.

The goblin camp in front of us looks very simple.

In addition to an iron pot surrounded by goblins, there are only piles of rubble and a bag of earth with cloth on a wooden stick. The only thing that seems out of place is the shabby black tent at the innermost.

"Hurry up and prepare the food, you inferior creatures!"

A reprimanding voice came from the tent. The tone sounded harsh, but it was also a little weak. After hearing it, the green goblins quickly sped up their actions and served the boiling food in the iron pot.

"Ahem! Damn surface wizard."

At this time, a gray-robed figure walked out of the tent. He had an ugly face and extremely pale skin. He had gauze wrapped around his chest and a simple wooden crutch in his hand.

A green goblin walked over tremblingly with food in his hand.

The gray-robed man took the wooden bowl and took a look at the brown mushroom soup inside. His face became even uglier. He suppressed the nausea in his heart and poured the smelly mushroom soup into his mouth.
