Chapter 359 The Grey Dwarf

"I now know why there are so many beholder zombies in the mausoleum."

Barn murmured, "That damned necromancer directly connected his tomb to the Underdark."

The Underdark is a name that cannot be bypassed for every adventurer who is committed to taking risks on the continent of Faerun, searching for treasures, and even writing their own legends.

The Underdark is composed of various tunnels and caves. It is another dark world below the surface world. There are countless dark races living here, and there are countless evil and weird beings.

Drow elves, gray dwarves, beholders, low-dwelling cuttlefish and even illithids, these creatures are absolutely impossible to have goodwill towards adventurers.

"Maybe we can go back to the maze and find another way out." Maris the rogue hesitated for a moment, and said, "Without a definite map, exploring the Underdark is too dangerous."

"If we are unlucky, we may not be able to find the exit to the surface world in our lifetime. It is more likely to break into the cities of drow or gray dwarves. Of course, there are also illithids."

Speaking of illithids, Maris shuddered: "I don't want to be drilled into my brain by that disgusting thing, and then transformed into a mind flayer."

"Maybe it's not so bad." Trixie's eyes sparkled: "I read in the book that the Underdark is the earliest origin of life, and there are countless secrets hidden here, including ancient ruins and lost treasures."

"We may even find relics of the most prosperous kingdoms here."

"If all adventurers are as naive as you, those evil creatures will probably laugh their ass off." Bain said angrily, "Maris is right, our best choice now is to turn back."

He looked at Tang Sen, and said, "Or there are other ways for spellcasters from different worlds? For example, continue to use your pathfinding tricks to find the exit of the nearby Underdark? Or just use your ability to take us through the top of your head." land?"

"I can't do this kind of thing with my ability." Tang Sen shook his head: "As for finding the way, my method can indeed point to the exit we need, but I can't guarantee that it won't take us through some dangerous areas .”

"I don't know anything about the Underdark."

At this moment, the monk who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "There is no need to go back into the maze."

"If I remember correctly, I have been to this Underdark region before." The monk showed nostalgic expression on his face: "At that time, I accepted a mission to go to the Underdark region to rescue a nobleman who was kidnapped by gray dwarves." , it was a thrilling adventure."

"At that time, we set out from Neverwinter City, followed the main road to Leilong Town, and then entered the Sword Mountain Range. By following the trail of the gray dwarves, we descended from a hidden cave to the Underdark and successfully intercepted them. When we found out, this area is a tunnel for the duergar to transport slaves Sorry, I'm going to get to the point."

The monk paused: "The point is, the necromancer's tomb is also in the Sword Mountain Range, and it's not far from that hidden cave."

"So, you can find the way out?" Bahn showed a surprised expression.

"I can give it a try." The monk said: "At least I can be sure that there is nothing more difficult to deal with besides the gray dwarves."

Trish let out a disappointed sigh.

"Let's go, then!" Bunn yelled, "I've had enough of this place!"

The Underdark is below the surface of the earth, and naturally there is no sunlight. Here, most areas are in eternal darkness, full of creatures that are not adapted to real light.

Glow rocks, luminous crystals, and fluorescent mosses, lichens, and fungi dimly illuminate some places. Fortunately, Tang Sen and others are growing a lot of fluorescent moss in the current area, although there is no way to illuminate too much The details, but at least it can make people see clearly the way forward.

As for the light spell, in the Underdark, such a spell is equivalent to telling all the unknown creatures around that there is living flesh and blood here.

The monk and the dwarf were at the front side by side, with Trixie and Townsend in the middle, and the rogue was at the back as always.

In fact, according to common sense team assignments, rogues should explore the way ahead, but unfortunately, Maris is a human rogue and does not have dark vision.

There is no concept of time in the darkness, and everyone does not know how long they have walked in this strange place. Finally, there is an unusual movement in the darkness ahead.

The sound of footsteps, angry reprimands, and strange screams from unknown creatures.

"It's the slave transport team of the gray dwarves." The monk eased his steps and said in a low voice: "It seems that we are not far from the exit."

A group of people approached quietly and hid behind a rock pillar. With the help of the shimmering light from the fluorescent moss, they finally saw the gray dwarves.

At the head of the team was a huge beetle-like creature with a black and shiny shell that creaked as it walked, and acid was dripping from its jaws, making the ground sizzling and corroding.

Its hard curved corners are pulled by ropes, linked to the saddle made of wood and steel behind it, and two duergar are sitting cross-legged on it, controlling the direction of the beetle.

"The duergar looks like a dwarf," the rogue whispered.

As the rogue said, the gray dwarves have the same stocky body and the same bushy beard as the dwarves. The difference is that the gray dwarves' skin tends to be darker than that of underground creatures, and they are almost all bald.

Bane glared at the rogue and growled, "Don't compare this thing to a dwarf!"

"The duergars are evil creatures. They believe in murdering, enslaving, the god of bitterness and hatred, and take pleasure in enslaving and torturing." The monk explained: "I saw the duergar rogues and duergar bug controllers. A group of slaves have been captured on the surface."

"I think it's best not to disturb them. After they leave, follow the route they came to find the exit."

"I have an ominous premonition." Bain said so, the three of them were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the mage Cuixi in unison.

The young mage's face was beaming with excitement at this time, and his right hand had already reached into his spell-casting material bag!
"stop it now!"

Bahn rushed over and grabbed Trish's hand:
"I don't want to face a whole team of duergar slave catchers!"
