Tim was the son of Dark Moon's first veteran family, the Saiful Family's elder, Carter. Two years ago, he was transferred to Mountain Xilang as a mining officer under Joseph's conspiracy. As a result, he disappeared when he entered the main pit to investigate. Unexpectedly, he was still alive, and he became this medusa's … husband?
Since this is the case, why didn't Tim try to escape back to the ground in the past two years when the enchantment at the entrance was not destroyed?
There must be some unknown inside story.
Chen Rui thought quickly for a while and said, "We're Tim's friends. He has been missing for two years. I can't believe he's still alive. Can you take us to meet your husband?"
At present, the exit was impassable. There was no good way for the time being. Instead of blindly bumping into more powerful demonic beasts, it was better to follow the medusas to meet Tim. It might be a turning point. However, they still couldn't relax their vigilance against the medusas. With the "Dark Will", they could still use the teleportation ability to escape danger as a last resort.
Unfortunately, the Dark Will couldn't travel through space. Otherwise, it would have been teleported out long ago.
Lusa pondered and finally nodded, "Those demonic flies may come back at any time. Let's go now. Follow me."
Lusa's status didn't seem to be low. She gave a command to the other three medusas, and the three medusas immediately walked to the front.
Chen Rui told Athena about Tim. Athena was also very surprised, but she naturally had no opinion on his decision. The two brought Dodo and followed the medusas forward.
After passing through one tunnel after another, the group came to a huge cracked entrance. It looked bottomless. There seemed to be a cold wind blowing from the dark entrance, adding a bit of chill. This should be the entrance to the underground world from the lower level of the main pit.
The medusas didn't stop and entered the entrance. Chen Rui and Athena looked at each other and followed in.
This was a bottomless black tunnel. Even with Chen Rui and Athena's eyesight, the visibility was quite low. Just as Athena was about to raise her guard, she suddenly felt her hand being held in a warm palm.
Athena's hand trembled slightly, then she let him hold it meekly. This time was different from facing the Dragon Inscription in the black rainforest. There was no excuse. He just took the initiative to hold her hand directly.
Athena's face began to heat up again, and her heart was beating faster. However, she was not as nervous as she was in the dark rainforest. Instead, she enjoyed the slight dizziness with a sweet taste. She felt that although the road ahead was full of danger, as long as she was held by this hand, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Perhaps it was because their hearts were connected, but Chen Rui strangely felt Athena's feelings just by holding her hand. He held her hand a little tighter. After being separated for a month, both of them had a lot to say to each other. Although they couldn't say it all at once, they held hands and walked side by side. Silence was better than words.
Light finally appeared in front of them. After walking through this pitch-black tunnel, a strange scene greeted their eyes.
This place was different from the labyrinthine main pit. It was like another huge world.
The space between the top and bottom was quite large. It felt like the space was suddenly open. There was no sense of oppression from the ceiling in the main pit at all. All they could see were strange stalactites and stalagmites. There were many special materials inside that emitted strong or weak fluorescence in various colors and shapes. It was a spectacle for a while. From time to time, they could see a glowing clear pool on the ground, receiving the water droplets dripping from the top, but the temperature was obviously much lower than the main pit.
Chen Rui had never seen such a spectacle, and he was secretly amazed. Athena also looked surprised.
Behind the wonderful scenery was unpredictable danger. The underground demonic beasts had been rampant for more than 400 years. It was by no means a joke. Even if they went to the Medusa's lair this time, it might not be safe. Both of them knew this, so they had never relaxed their vigilance.
After walking for a long distance, they did not encounter any danger along the way. The air here felt relatively fresh. It might be because some special substances such as ores could produce the miraculous effect of absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, just like plants.
Suddenly, the Medusa stopped moving forward and looked ahead vigilantly. Chen Rui and Athena also noticed the abnormal sound. It seemed to be the sound of a fierce battle, and it was still moving towards them.
Under the light of the rocks, the two sides of the battle gradually became clear.
One side was a tall and strong humanoid demonic beast with long hair. It had a bull's head, and its feet were also bull's hooves. It had three fingers on its palm and held a huge hammer made of stone. From time to time, it attacked the enemy with its sharp horns and hammer.
Like the Medusa, this creature was also an intelligent demonic beast called the Tauren.
The Tauren was a natural warrior. They were fierce and strong. Not only did they have high physical attack and defense abilities, but they also had a strong resistance to magic. There were also a small number of mutants who could use the special power of nature to become a magician. The Demon Realm knew that some of the Tauren were used to living in the mountains. Unexpectedly, there were also Tauren in this underground world.
The Tauren's opponent was an even stranger creature. Their bodies were made of rock and mud-like substances. Their facial features and muscles were relatively blurred, and their eyes glowed with a faint yellow light. They had no weapons, but their bodies were harder than weapons. The Tauren's powerful hammer hit their bodies, but it didn't cause much damage.
One of the creatures could even unleash a strange attack. Wherever it moved its upper limbs, sharp spikes would protrude from the ground. Occasionally, it would wave its arms, and a faint layer of light would appear on the bodies of its companions. It was like armor, and its defensive capabilities would multiply.
"Earth Spike! Stone Skin! "Athena exclaimed," It's an earth elemental! "
Elementals were the product of self-consciousness formed by the essence condensed by the elemental power in nature. Most of them appeared in places where the corresponding elemental power was relatively concentrated in nature. For example, fire elementals were mostly in volcanoes, while earth elementals appeared underground. Elementals had no lifespan. Because they were born in the process of condensing elements, they would also die in the balance of nature. They had corresponding powers according to the different personalities of the elements. For example, earth elementals were good at defense while fire elementals were good at offense. Most of them also had the ability to control the corresponding attributes. The earth elemental just now cast earth magic.
[Earth Spike] was to control the spikes emerging from the ground to attack the opponent, while [Stone Skin] was an auxiliary magic to enhance defense.
The medusas had quickly prepared for battle. Lusa shot an arrow and hit the body of the earth elemental, but unfortunately, it couldn't penetrate. It seemed that this kind of long-range attack couldn't cause substantial damage to the earth elemental with super strong defense.
"Help the Taurens!"
Lusa said. She took out a scimitar and led the three medusas to attack the earth elemental.
Generally speaking, due to different Magical Beasts' habits and communication problems, they would at most be wary of each other and would not attack each other. It was rare for them to help each other without any hesitation. Chen Rui felt a little strange, but he quickly explained the battle target to Athena and instructed Dodo to protect Athena. Then, he followed the medusas and rushed toward the earth elemental.
The taurens were surprised by the medusas' support. When they saw the two strangers, Chen Rui and Athena, they raised their vigilance. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent. Chen Rui immediately revealed the kindness of a "friend" to the taurens through [Analytical Eyes], then he used his actions to show his stance.
"Boom!" Chen Rui slammed a heavy punch on the body of the earth elemental who cast magic, pushing the opponent back 6 or 7 meters away. The earth elemental swayed for a while, but it was actually fine. Instead, the strong recoil made Chen Rui's fist faintly numb.
Chen Rui was taken aback. This earth elemental was clearly still D-level in [Analytical Eyes]. With his strength that was close to D-level, such a powerful blow could not hurt the earth elemental. It seemed that the Demon Realm was really full of powerhouses, especially some special creatures with special talents. Take the earth elemental in front of him for example. They were both D-level, but he might not be able to win.
At that moment, he felt a warning coming from below. He quickly bounced his feet and jumped away. Almost in the blink of an eye, a large number of blade-like spikes suddenly appeared on the ground. If he was half a beat slower, he would definitely be seriously injured.
Chen Rui had previously fought with the demonic flies and consumed a lot of Star Power. Moreover, he couldn't use < Aura Blade > for the time being. He immediately unleashed the surging power that he learned in the surfy sea, pushing the earth elemental back step by step. A crack finally appeared on the solid body surface.
Chen Rui was attacking while communicating with the earth elemental in [Analytical Eyes]. He wanted to try to make it yield in order to learn more about the underground world. However, the pale yellow light in the earth elemental's eyes flickered. There was no emotion or fluctuation in the feedback from there, only killing intent.
Endless killing intent!
The taurens on this side had recovered with the support of Athena and the medusas. Athena and the medusas' weapons could not cause much damage to the earth elemental. Instead, Dodo's [Transform Entanglement] worked wonders as it entangled an earth elemental. A few taurens rushed up and took turns to attack, smashing the earth elemental's head into pieces.
After Chen Rui attacked for a while, he also discovered the earth elemental's characteristics of weak attack and strong defense. After carefully avoiding the opponent's magic, he continuously attacked the earth elemental's head. Under the effect of the surfy sea's power, the cracks on the earth elemental's head became bigger and bigger. Even the [Stone Skin] could not withstand the surging power. Finally, it completely shattered, and the tall body fell to the ground.
Soon, all the earth elementals were dealt with. The leader of the tauren walked over. He stared at Chen Rui for a while with his bull eyes wide open. Suddenly, he hit his chest hard and howled.
"Friend! Watt! "
Chen Rui felt the taurens' gratitude in [Analytical Eyes]. Watt should be his name, so he immediately passed his friendliness over.
Like the medusas, the taurens were surprised by Chen Rui's communication ability, but they did not probe too much. They just expressed one meaning, "Come with me, I need help! Fight! "
The medusas didn't seem to understand the meaning of the "friendly" taurens. After Chen Rui translated it with [Analytical Eyes], she did not hesitate and immediately followed the taurens.
Although Chen Rui didn't understand why the earth elementals and taurens had conflicts, and why the medusas wanted to help the taurens, he was completely unfamiliar with this dangerous underground world. Now that he happened to win the temporary trust of the two demonic beasts, following them seemed to be the best way.
The taurens ran very fast. Soon, in front of a huge open space, Chen Rui saw a fierce battle, or it could be called a small war.
There were taurens and earth elementals fighting fiercely everywhere. There were also some medusas. Just like Lusa's assistance just now, the taurens and medusas were obviously allies. Among the earth elementals, there were actually a large number of demonic flies!
Taurens + medusas VS earth elementals + demonic flies?
