[You have come to the Undercity. 】
[The Undercity is an underground city located in the northwest of the Star Spirit Realm, under the frozen soil of the plateau. It is divided into four levels according to its depth. 】
[Because it is deep underground, there is no sunlight here all year round. Only the countless fluorescent stones inlaid on the top rocks and a large number of artificial sunflower lanterns serve as the light source here. Looking up, it is like a bright starry sky that exists forever...]
[Undercity is the main city of the dark elves, and the dark elves were once the fallen people who committed crimes from various elven tribes. These sinners were abandoned by the tribe, suffered the curse of "never seeing the light of day", and were expelled underground. Life, and over the long years, gradually formed its own civilization underground. Because most of the exiles have been in contact with a kind of "amethyst" rock mine underground for many years, their skin turns dark gray or purple, and they are called dark elves by outsiders. 】
[It is precisely because this place was once a city of exile that the atmosphere in the Undercity is relatively open. The dark elves are not as exclusive as the forest elves and daylight elves, but instead actively accept the cultures of all ethnic groups.
In addition to about 80% of the dark elves, the population in the Undercity is also mixed with 10% of humans, 3% of dwarves, 2% of orcs, and 5% of vampires and werewolves. It is rich in a variety of underground minerals and various races. Specialty, it is a resource-based city with developed commerce...]
Mu You came to this underground city for the first time through the teleportation array on the forest elf side.
Judging from the description, the race of dark elves did not originally exist. It was only the elves who were expelled from the major elven tribes who gathered together to keep warm, and a civilization gradually formed.
Even the queen of the dark elves has the suffix 'exile' after her name. It can be seen that they still have not got rid of the identity of 'sinners' in their hearts. Among the major elven groups, their status is the lowest.
Mu You didn't really care about the status ranking within the elves. After arriving in the Undercity, he immediately discovered one of the biggest advantages here: there is no daylight!
Because it is deep underground, the whole day here belongs to the category of night, so his vampire skin and jack-o-lantern can be effective all day long, which is very comfortable. The initial website address is p://m.biquke.
Mu You first controlled the character to walk around a few streets in the city, preparing to look for the special buildings on the dark elf side.
The result was rather disappointing to him. This race didn't seem to have a few exclusive buildings, and the items sold in the store were ordinary goods that could be seen elsewhere.
Finding nothing to see in the city, Mu You didn't waste any time and left the city directly. After leaving the city, he went straight to the Elf Temple, the mission location.
[You have arrived at the Dark Temple. 】
[You see a large amount of discarded copper and iron piled up in front of the temple door ahead, which looks like the remains of an alchemical device. 】
[You hid in the distance and observed for a long time, confirming that no one was watching nearby. Do you want to take the opportunity to approach the temple? 】
"yes."
Although it is strange that there is no one guarding the temple, we are already here after all. We will try to find out the situation first.
Mu You held the pocket watch and controlled the character to step forward.
[You remained invisible and quietly approached the temple gate. 】
[It was quiet along the road, nothing happened. 】
[Until you are about to step five meters in front of the temple gate, you suddenly feel a faint red light coming from an abandoned iron block in front of you, quickly sweeping across your body! 】
[The mountains of scrap metal in front suddenly floated automatically, and automatically combined into spider-like self-propelled artillery and three combat robots during the rotation! 】
[In the blink of an eye, the pile of scrap metal in front of you turns into a mechanical army with powerful firepower! 】
[Overwhelming tongues of fire spurt out from each magic cannon and attack you. The roar of the artillery fire echoes nearby, immediately attracting the attention of a large number of goblin engineers in the cave. 】
[Short goblins driving various beast-shaped robots rush out of the cave entrance, screaming and rushing towards you. However, before they can get closer, you have already been blown to pieces in the intensive artillery fire...]
Good guy!
Mu You's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he hurriedly pressed his pocket watch, returning to the time when the alarm was not triggered five seconds ago, and then silently chose to retreat.
The technology of these goblins is quite advanced. They have even developed Transformers. In addition, they have automatic enemy detection systems, automatic counterattack devices, intensive strike firepower networks... No wonder they dare not arrange even a single guard. These alchemy devices are much easier to use than human power.
The seemingly weakest entrance in front of us is indeed the most tightly guarded. It is obviously impossible to break in from the front, and we have to think of other ways.
Muyou clicked on the panel and looked at the friends interface.
Lin Xue and Xiaoya's game characters are both displayed online.
Mu You clicked on 'Bana Flower' and sent a message to Lin Xue.
[Lamplighter: Online? 】
[Higanbana: Well, we’re on a mission, what’s up? 】
[Lamplighter: I just teleported here. 】
[Bianhua: Oh? Are you already in the Undercity? 】
[Lamplighter: Well, so I’m asking you if you have a map of this place or something...]
Lin Xue came many days before him. She has been doing tasks in the Dark City recently. It is said that she has even found a place to stay. She should be very familiar with the environment here.
[Bana: There is a map, but it’s not too detailed. 】
[Lamplighter: Send it here for a look. 】
Within a few seconds, Muyou received a message on the forum, and Lin Xue sent him a map photo.
Mu You clicked it and took a look. It was indeed blurry.
The whole thing is just a rough topographic map, and the writing is no longer legible in many places.
Mu You barely recognized it, and after looking at it for a long time, he finally confirmed the location of the dark temple.
However, judging from the map, this temple is completely wrapped in an underground mountain range, and the mountain range is surrounded by barren mountains, and there is no other entrance marked.
"You are going to the temple to do a mission, right?" Lin Xue's news came again.
"Yes." Mu You said. Lin Xue also knew about the map fragment mission created by the Elf Horn.
"Then I know a place...here."
Lin Xue sent another picture, which was the same map as before, but with a red cross marking a location on it, which was located at the foot of a mountain on the south side of the mountain range where the temple was located.
"What's going on here?" Mu You asked.
"This is an ant nest. I went in to do a mission before. There is a rift valley inside. Although I have not gone deep into the interior, judging from the direction of the road, it should lead to the temple. If you want to sneak into the temple, maybe you can Try it from here, but you need to pass through the termite beast's nest first." Lin Xue said.
"This is good, I'll go take a look." Mu You's eyes lit up. If it were an ant nest, there must be a large number of ant-like monsters in it. However, facing the monsters was easier than facing the defense mechanisms at the entrance of the temple. It was okay. Practice leveling by the way.
"Wait, I'll go too." Lin Xue said.
"You're not done with your mission?" Mu You was surprised.
"My current mission is to 'kill monsters 1,000 times with a sickle'. It doesn't matter where I do it." Lin Xue added an expression with sunglasses.
"Then I'll call some more people."
In a place like an ant nest where there may be a lot of monsters, it is best to organize some people before entering.
Mu You went directly to recruit the last black team, Xiaoya, Lin Hai, and Pandaren.
In addition, this time there is a powerful helper in the team: Shadow Wolf!
Shadow Wolf has been 'catching fish' in Dawn City in the past few days, fishing in the physical sense, eating grilled fish all day long, and the stove fire for her has never stopped. Every time Mu You sees her, it is not in To eat is to find food on the way.
The fish she had collected before was almost depleted due to her consumption. Muyou was already worried about the subsequent food problem. At the same time, she hurriedly gave the hunger gem to her, which finally greatly slowed down her eating frequency.
But this time when Mu You found Shadow Wolf and told her that he needed her to fight, Shadow Wolf agreed readily.
["Termite beast?" Shadow Wolf suddenly showed great interest after hearing the name of the creature you wanted to deal with. 】
[You nod and ask Shadow Wolf if he knows anything about the 'Termite Beast'. 】
[Shadow Wolf drools and tells you that she once tasted the meat of the 'Termite Queen'. The meat is extremely delicious and is a great tonic for her. 】
[Termite Queen: A reproductive female ant among termites. There is only one in each ant colony. She is responsible for laying eggs and managing the entire ant colony. The termite queen has a strong reproductive ability, but its lifespan is short, only seven months. When she dies, she will lay queen eggs. After the queen eggs absorb enough nutrients, they can grow into new queens. 】
Mu You felt ashamed when he saw it. He dared to do it just for food.
However, the text description below reminded him that the queen ant must be very big, right? If you can find this queen ant, you can save a wave of food reserves for the shadow wolf.
[You and several teammates arrived at the foot of the Desolate Mountains. What appears in front of you is a deep cave more than two meters high. Judging from the traces of bones and mucus around it, it looks like a nest of some kind of insect. 】
In half an hour, a group of six people, led by Lin Xue, found the termite nest.
"Termite beasts are poisonous ants. Not only will they be poisoned when they are hit, but they will also poison the killer when they kill them. All poison-resistant equipment should be worn in advance... Xiaohai, you will be under greater pressure later on. Treatment and detoxification You have to prepare spells..." Mu You started a group chat and gave a few people a brief introduction to the characteristics of termite beasts, mainly to Xiaoya and Lin Hai. Lin Xue had already completed tasks in this cave. Know the characteristics of termites well.
"Oh, I understand." Xiaoya responded simply.
"Don't worry, Master, everything is ready!" Lin Hai was eager to give it a try. After the rat race last time, he knew that Mu You specially asked him to come to play black, which would definitely be a perfect opportunity to gain experience.
"let's start!"
Mu You gave an order, and everyone in the game stepped into the ant nest.
[You and your team members enter the ant nest. 】
[What is presented to you is a vast mountain rift valley. The cave is built on the mountainside of the rift valley. Downward is a bottomless abyss, and the inward passages are narrow mountain roads and bridges. 】
[The noise of your intrusion disturbed the owner of the cave. Soon, dense white soldier ants emerged from the rocks in all directions. Each of these termites is more than half a meter long. Each one opens its mouth wide, roars, and climbs towards the intruder waving its forelimbs...]
[You hurriedly led the team forward, stepped onto the narrow path on the mountain wall, occupied the favorable terrain first, and launched various magics on the approaching soldier ants...]
There are more termites in this cave than expected. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for five or six people to break through such a dense ant colony. At present, they mainly take advantage of the terrain.
Walking on such cliffs, it is much more difficult for termites to besiege them. They only need to protect the front and rear paths. As for the termites climbing up from the mountain wall, they can drive them away with just a spell. Blockbusters.
[During the roar of magic, colorful magic radiance shines in the rift valley, and large swaths of termites continue to fall from the rock wall...]
[You killed level 7 soldier ants, gained experience +3, lifespan +1, were poisoned, and lost 2 points of life per second...]
[You killed level 8 soldier ants, gained experience +3, lifespan +1, and obtained termite carapace*1...]
…
The battle is basically carried out automatically by the characters in the game. Anyway, the density of termites is high enough, and you will definitely hit them if you throw spells casually. Everyone uses their own methods to harvest experience.
Kill prompts appeared quickly one after another, and the toxins on everyone's bodies were constantly stacking up. Lin Hai was extremely busy at this time. He almost never stopped using the dispersing and detoxifying spells. He used them as soon as the cooldown was good, but it was still difficult to keep up with the toxin stacking. speed.
The density of monsters here is even more exaggerated than the last time we spawned ratmen in Phoenix City. After the battle stabilized, several people were stunned by the rate of increase in experience, which was basically increasing at a rate of about one hundred points per minute.
Muyou did not waste such an efficient opportunity to spawn monsters. He directly used all four experience cards he had saved in the past few days. His experience income increased five times, reaching a terrifying 500+ experience per minute.
Of course, such efficient monster spawning also brings high physical consumption. Even if the lifespan recovered from killing termites is included, it is still impossible to maintain a balance of payments. The lifespan of several people is about one year per minute. Falling.
But even so, it's worth it.
In the next hour when the experience card lasted, Mu You spent a total of more than 60 years of life, but gained more than 30,000 experience points. He directly filled up the experience bar of level 15 and rose to level 16!
Although the others were not as exaggerated as Mu You, each of them had gained about 6,000 experience points, and they all completed an upgrade midway.
The only pity is that such efficient experience-earning time cannot last forever.
After a few people walked forward for a while, a prompt suddenly popped up in the game.
[You pass through the cliff and come to a bridge. Only through this 100-meter-long bridge can you reach the mountain wall at the other end and continue moving forward. However, the bridge here breaks in the middle. 】
[Countless soldier ants are already waiting at the broken bridge at the other end. They are densely packed into a hill, completely blocking your way. 】
[On the other side, the soldier ants on the mountain wall did not continue to attack. Instead, they gathered in groups in the distance and surrounded you...]
These ants seem to have become smarter after being killed in too many battles. They no longer charge mindlessly, but choose the tactic of surrounding them without fighting, preparing to trap them here...
"Master, we can't get through the front!"
Lin Hai's voice came from the headset.
"You continue to attack and cover my breakout. I'll go find the ant queen." Mu You said.
Now the movement here has probably attracted all the ants in the ant nest, and the queen's defense will be empty. The queen ant is the core of an ant colony. As long as he can find the queen, these soldier ants will definitely have to go back to rescue her.
