Chapter 232 The Dark Region
"Ah——!"*6
Under the pull of gravity, the mecha fell down together with the rest of the people.
Karl tried hard to throw the rest of the people on the mecha, but it was difficult for him to control the force.
In the end, everyone fell into the fallen earth together.
At this time, Karl no longer cared about the gold in his right hand.
Throwing the gold out of the mecha's hand, he quickly placed the rest of his companions on the mecha's shoulders, and then controlled the floating cannon behind him to fire out nitrogen, moving himself closer to the rock wall of the fall area.
The steel palm suddenly grasped the rock, and under the influence of gravity acceleration, it carved out deep ravines on the rock wall.
This greatly reduced the speed of the mecha's fall, but they continued to fall.
This situation lasted for about ten minutes. When Carl felt that his mecha had fallen at least a few kilometers away, he suddenly felt that the mecha's feet were empty.
Some strange force seemed to be pulling on the mecha, trying to move it, along with the rest of the people above, to other areas underground.
Karl tried his best to climb up and maintain the status quo, but the rock he grabbed could not bear the weight of him and everyone else, and they fell into the ground together.
The moment he fell, Karl felt that he had crossed a certain limit.
When everyone recovered from that strange feeling, the howling wind was ringing in everyone's ears, and the strong sense of weightlessness made people feel that their internal organs were out of their previous positions.
Looking up, the collapse area where one should be able to see the sky has disappeared.
Everyone knew that they had just experienced a space transfer and were now underground in an unknown area of Xen'drik.
Karl quickly changed the mecha from an upright state to a crawling state, and the wind resistance brought by his huge body slightly slowed his fall.
The lava river quickly enlarged under everyone's gaze. When Karl felt that everyone had almost reached a certain height, he immediately released the Feather Falling Technique.
Everyone except him changed from plummeting to floating down, while the mecha continued to fall rapidly downwards.
"Tsk! We must vigorously improve the flying capabilities of mechas in the future!"
After hammering the console in front of him, Carl endured the heartache and left the mecha.
"Plop!"
The mecha fell into the hot magma. Although Karl was confident that the fruits of his labor would not be destroyed by the temperature of the magma, damage was inevitable.
Reactivating the flying technique, Karl gradually controlled his figure in mid-air, and then flew towards the people who were still falling.
Like a hydrogen balloon, Karl dragged everyone and flew towards the seemingly solid ground below.
When he was about to land, Carl took the lead in releasing compressed nitrogen to cool the ground.
"You could actually eject directly from the mecha just now, and then use the flying technique to return to the ground."
After taking a few breaths with lingering fear, Bain said this method with a complicated expression.
Karl removed the helmet from his power armor and said forcefully:
"Are you kidding? How could I just leave you and run away? Without me, you would all be reduced to a pulp by now!"
As he spoke, Karl looked around.
The underground environment is not too dark, and the orange-gold light emitted by the lava looks quite bright.
Following the light emitted by the lava rivers and gradually looking into the distance, Karl saw something that could be called a wonder.
It was a huge volcano with countless rivers of lava flowing from all over the mountain.
It went straight up, reaching the top of this huge cave, and may even have protruded to the surface.
"The power of nature is truly miraculous!"
Rarely, Carl expressed his sincere emotion about the magnificent scenery.
"Be careful. We have now entered the Dark Territory. This is the territory of the drow. Strong young men like you are the favorites of those guys who are like wolves and tigers."
As a conservative who is not in line with the mainstream drow, Xie joked jokingly.
The feeling of returning to her hometown made her feel a little warm, but she knew that this was just an illusion produced by the creature after returning to a familiar place.
Even before the drow became corrupted by their strange beliefs, the Underdark controlled by the drow was not a friendly place.
However, Ying and Hope's reaction to this sentence was greater than Carl's.
As if to show their attitude, they stood directly on both sides of Karl, as if they would not allow others to get close.
After finding a relatively spacious place, Karl activated his characteristics and summoned the mecha that had fallen into the magma lake again.
The long-term high temperature burned out the flammable materials on the mecha, and only the metal in the middle was left on the truck-shaped wheels.
After looking at the surrounding environment, Karl shrugged.
"It seems like we can't move forward as easily as before. Let's stay here for the mecha. Let's find a way out."
I finally found the way out of the giant ruins, but before I could get out, I fell into the dark area of the underground world.
Carl felt that his adventure seemed to be quite troubled.
"Let's go towards the volcano. It looks a bit like the legendary Obsidian City."
Pointing to a black area in the direction of the volcano, Ying rarely expressed his opinion.
Anyway, it's already like this now, Carl immediately decided to go to the Obsidian City, which is suspected to be one of the three major forces of the Drow.
Although there are lava rivers everywhere in this cave, surprisingly, except for a little heat, the air around is not that hard to breathe.
The lava just flows quietly, like blood or something similar.
It is said that a horse will die if it is seen from a mountain. After walking for more than 6 hours, everyone finally realized this deeply.
The volcano looks close, but it takes so long to reach it.
This makes everyone have a deeper understanding of the size of this cave.
Summoning the mecha again, Carl transformed it into a truck, and then let everyone go in to rest.
The floating gun continuously releases compressed nitrogen to lower the surrounding temperature, which allows everyone to sleep well.
However, when he thought that he would have to continue trekking in this hot environment after getting up tomorrow, Carl couldn't help but use his brain and prepare to give the truck a few tires that are not afraid of flames and high temperatures to try.
…
“Hua La~”
Thunder Sea, Sunshine.
In the luxurious private room, Nia and the other two lay on a big bed together, sleeping with relaxed expressions.
They have spent three days on the sea.
After seeing the magnificent waves and violent storms of the sea, the sea has lost its attraction to them, so the three of them have been sleeping in the room.
At the beginning, Nia was a little worried that the ship would encounter a storm and sink, so she prepared many preventive props.
As a result, after a few days, the ship sailed very smoothly.
If nothing unexpected happens, the ship will be able to dock in Storm Bay this evening.
After all, this is a ship driven by the Storm Dragon Mark Family, and its speed is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary ships.
Speaking of which, the reason why this ship can set sail is thanks to Joanna.
Because she drove away the noble of the Throne Castle, many nobles without fiefdoms developed an interest in Storm Bay that was not in line with their own abilities.
Therefore, many nobles who had status but no real power jointly hired the Storm Dragon Mark Family and prepared to go to Storm Bay to try their luck.
The failure of the Throne Castle nobleman did not make them feel difficult. Before they clearly realized their own weight, which noble young man did not think that he was the son of destiny?
Especially after hearing that the one who currently controlled Storm Bay was a noble girl, many noble girls with lofty ambitions felt that they could also show their talents in this chaotic place, so they embarked on a journey.
Although Nia was not a noble, her father was now a powerful figure in the intelligence department of Aundair. After a brief communication with the Kingdom of Brook, he found a cabin for his daughter and her companions.
In the ship's cabin, an old half-elf with white hair in his hair held the dragon-patterned wonder "Feng Shui Wheel" to make the ship travel quickly in the waves.
He held a cigar in his mouth, and a little blue smoke came out of his mouth and nose during his breath.
Just as he enjoyed a deep puff of the cigar, a younger half-elf knocked on the door twice from outside and then walked in.
"Captain! The lookout has seen the port. It looks like we can reach Storm Bay sooner than expected."
The young half-elf looked very happy, but the captain looked at him and sighed helplessly.
"Are you really not going back with me? The situation in Storm Bay is still unclear. You don't have to sacrifice your youth for the so-called opportunity."
Hearing the master who had taught him for nearly three years say this, the young half-elf's originally happy expression suddenly became depressed.
"Sorry, Master, but I want to do something."
After a moment of silence, the captain sighed again, but still warned with his experience of more than a hundred years of life:
"Don't expose your ambitions when you get there. The current mechanic who actually controls Storm Bay is not interested in this, but the power is indeed in his hands.
In this case, you'd better start from the grassroots and integrate into the current regime of Storm Bay, rather than go against him.
We half-elves have a longer lifespan than humans. As long as you have enough patience, you can still get your turn even if you have enough experience. By then, you will still be young."
After respectfully saluting the half-elf captain who was already a little old, the young half-elf kept these words in mind and then left the cabin.
Outside, those pretentious young nobles gathered in the reception room of the ship and held an elegant banquet.
The fantasy drama that has been very popular in Aundair recently was playing in the field. Everyone dreamed of returning to their hometown with honors after "starting from scratch" in Storm Bay, with a smile of wisdom on their faces.
No one felt that their actions were essentially reaping the fruits of someone else's victory, just as they did not realize that as a noble with an empty title, they had no right to command the common people and adventurers to do things for them.
