Chapter 761 Dark Elf 3
The last batch of high elves passed on their will to revenge and thirst for the blood of the traitors of the surface elves to the newborn dark elves through magical rituals, and they paid the price with their lives.

Some 300 years later, a new dark elf civilization arose in the Underdark.

The first and last empire of the Dark Elves was Talen Tivar, with its capital in the great cavern of Barenton taken from the Dwarven Kingdom.Later, the dark elves who revived civilization (they still call themselves drow elves) upheld the will to revenge against ordinary elves and tried to return to the surface.

But after all, the number of dark elves cannot be compared with ordinary elves, revenge is not going smoothly, and with the reproduction of generations, the will of revenge in the blood of dark elves is getting weaker and weaker, and the desire for the blood of the surface elves is gradually weakening.More importantly, the dark elves have gradually adapted to life underground, and even began to become unsuitable for the surface environment, and their desire to return to the surface gradually disappeared.

Under such circumstances, the inferiority of the dark elves gradually broke out, and they shifted their main energy to internal competition, and began to fight each other and kill each other.Nobles fought nobles, priests attacked priests, all for dominion over this new territory, and then a civil war broke out, and the civil war grew bigger and bigger.

Eventually the battle ended in a sudden, gigantic explosion that completely collapsed the roof of Barrenton's Cave.Many dark elves were buried in this tragedy along with the dwarven cities they took.

Barenton Cave, now open air, was later known as the Great Rift.The duergar's ancestors later re-populated the land, and the land and its network of caverns became known as the Underdark.

In the era known as the Great Exile, the remaining Dark Elf nobles and priests gathered their surviving compatriots, slaves, and what was left of their equipment and fled into the Underdark.Since then, countless cities and small settlements have sprung up and died within the domain of the old Taren Tivan Empire.

But after that, the dark elves were no longer a complete force, but divided into countless small cities and small settlements, which were not under each other's control, and wars often broke out.

Most drow cities are ruled by priestesses in matriarchal societies due to the dogma of the spider queen Lolth.In cities that follow the Way of Lolth, the dark elves are usually ruled by a strict hierarchy of several noble families.A small group of top noble families is organized into a governing council, the speaker of which is the highest priestess of the First House.Each house is also ruled by a priestess of the highest order, these women are called matrons.

The priest here is slightly different from the priest of the player's profession, and is truly capable of offering sacrifices.Of course, the gods in "The Choice" don't really appear, they just serve as providers of divine magic and have a certain ability to intervene in reality.

Therefore, in the dark elf society, the status of priests is the highest, and most of them are assumed by women.Men, on the other hand, can only engage in some unimportant jobs, and their occupations are mostly agile fighters or thieves. They don't have the habit of using heavy weapons. Dual wielding is their signature feature, and it is a bonus to dual wielding.

As a subspecies of elves, dark elves are usually only 1 meters tall, that is, small in stature, and weigh about 6 kilograms.Dark elves are usually shorter than other elves, and their strength is relatively weak, but their movements are more agile than the elves on the ground, and they have high magic resistance, but poor resistance to fire, water, and thunder.Dark elves have a certain weakening in combat power under sunlight, and will cause blindness when encountering strong light.

In this case, it is not surprising why there is such a description in the previous task prompt - "Part of the rewards that can be obtained during this branch task are more inclined to agile players. Players with dark vision and stealth abilities will It has a great advantage in this task.”

The death of this dark elf gave Yun Xiaohan 0.5% of the level experience, which is quite a lot, and also published a [Phantom Dodge] skill book.

[Phantom Dodge] is a sixth-level rare general-purpose skill. The prerequisites for learning it are similar to the previous [Stealth Assault], and you need two shadow-type skills, and they must be active shadow-type skills, but other prerequisite skills require If there is one less, the permanent increase of the agility attribute is required to be more than 50%, which is 40% higher than the 10% of [Stealth Assault].

The effect of [Phantom Dodge] is to blur one's body and 5% dodge the next attack within 100 seconds. After the dodge is successful, when the attacker counterattacks the attack, the damage is increased by 50%, and the duration is 2 seconds. Cooldown time 2 minutes.

This skill is very powerful, even stronger than [Concealed Assault], but the cooling time is a bit longer.

But Yun Xiaohan doesn't mind, anyway, it's not for his own use, as long as he can get a good skill.

After killing the dark elf, Yun Xiaohan did not wait for the task prompt to complete the first phase of the branch mission, but the mission log was updated, which read: "Yun Xiaohan was attacked by the dark elf, counterattacked and successfully killed the dark elves."

It seems that Yun Xiaohan will continue to explore.

Yun Xiaohan went all the way down the stepped tunnel, and he didn't encounter any enemies along the way. After about 4 minutes, Yun Xiaohan finally came to the bottom of the stepped tunnel.

Jumping down the stepped tunnel, Yun Xiaohan began to observe the surrounding environment. As soon as his feet landed, a new system prompt appeared, reminding Yun Xiaohan that he had discovered the "dark area".

Under the light of the torches, the surrounding stone walls are gray and monotonous, seeming to have a breath of death, and above them are hard rocks.The dark tunnel zigzags through the gloomy kingdom, digging through caves of all sizes and connecting high and low caves.Stalagmites, as sharp as the fangs of a sleeping dragon, silently block the way of intruders.

The surroundings were silent, and there seemed to be huge beasts hidden under the faint light and shadow, and the only sound that could be heard was the constant dripping of water.The sound of the water was like the heartbeat of a beast, beating against silent rocks and falling into the cold subterranean lakes of the Underdark.

Of course, the so-called ferocious beasts are all Yun Xiaohan's imagination when he entered the dark environment. I have to admit that making virtual games too real will inevitably cause some side effects. I am used to the sun and the open surface environment, and suddenly came to this claustrophobic and dark environment. In the environment, even Yun Xiaohan is somewhat uncomfortable, and it will take an adaptation period before he can adapt slowly.

If this were changed to a claustrophobic patient, he would probably go crazy.
