"Doug, as you can see, I can kill you now. But I don't want to do that. I have the ability to communicate with the elementals. I really want to help you earth elementals, but before that, I need you to answer some questions. Are you willing to accept? "
Doug was silent for a while and finally nodded. Chen Rui signaled Dodo to loosen the restraint. The earth elementals really didn't attack again, which surprised the taurens.
At this time, a few more taurens came from behind. The leader was Watt, who had been helped by Chen Rui in the beginning. When Watt saw Chen Rui, he looked surprised. He hurried over and beat his chest, "Chen Rui! Friend! "
"Watt! Friend! "Chen Rui also beat his chest hard. He had done it many times today.
Watt looked at Doug vigilantly. He was surprised by the earth elemental's uncharacteristic silence, but he didn't ask much. He just said to Chen Rui, "Friend! Go to the Tauren's Lair! Welcome! "
At present, the situation of the underground world was very unclear. According to Tim's description, the demonic flies were almost all over the underground world. The number was extremely large, and there were dangers everywhere. It was difficult to find a place to live. Although the Tauren's Lair was in danger of being attacked, they had just repelled the enemy, so it should be a relatively safe place in the short term.
However, with the example of Queen Medusa, there were still more than 20 hours before Dark Will could be used. The taurens and medusas were also allies. If the Chief Tauren also turned hostile, there would be no hope of escape.
Chen Rui thought for a while and told them about Queen Medusa and expressed his doubts.
Watt howled in dissatisfaction, "Friend! Taurens are not medusas! Watt guarantees with my life! "
To be cautious, Chen Rui consulted Athena again. Athena said, "The Tauren are fierce and warlike, but they have a forthright personality. In history, there were Tauren tribes that participated in battles as an alliance with the Demons. If they recognize you as a friend, they probably won't hurt us."
Chen Rui nodded secretly. The Taurens seemed to have an easier time communicating with them than the Medusas. He could tell from Tim's experience that the Taurens had told him earlier. Chen Rui immediately said to Watt, "Friend, let's go to the Taurens' Den. Please allow me to bring this captive with me."
"Let's go!" Watt looked happy as he led the Tauren to the Lair.
This place was not far from the Tauren's Lair. After a while, the group arrived at the Tauren's Lair. Here, Chen Rui saw the Tauren Torre who could emit double halos. Like Watt, Torre showed great enthusiasm when he saw his two comrades, Chen Rui and Athena, which made him feel more at ease.
Torre seemed to have a high status in the Tauren's Lair. In addition to having support halos, he also had a certain healing power. He was helping some Taurens heal their injuries. However, this kind of healing was very laborious, and the speed and effect were not satisfactory.
Judging from Torre's fatigue, he had not rested after the previous battle and had been healing his own kind.
Chen Rui had an idea. He gave Torre a bottle of recovery potion and exchanged for a batch of healing potions. He began to actively help heal the Taurens' injuries. The exchange price of the healing potion was not high, and they were all grandmaster-level. Together with Torre's healing power, the healing speed of the injured Taurens was suddenly accelerated. The effect was very obvious.
This action immediately won the favor of all the Taurens present, and they all showed a friendly look.
Chen Rui was helping a Tauren bandage. Suddenly, the < Analytical Eyes > showed something. He quickly looked back. Sure enough, the Chief Tauren appeared behind him. Next to him was Watt who went to report.
The Chief Tauren looked at the surrounding Taurens, and his eyes fell on Chen Rui. Just when Chen Rui was a little nervous, the Chief Tauren beat his chest fiercely, "Friend! Thank you for helping the Taurens! "
Chen Rui was relieved and returned the courtesy. He said in < Analytical Eyes >, "Dear King, my name is Chen Rui. These are my friends, Athena and Dodo. We came to this underground world by chance. We hope to help our Tauren friend before we leave."
"Chen Rui, your power is very magical. You can communicate with the Taurens so smoothly." The Chief Tauren nodded vigorously. "Watt told me about the Medusas' attitude towards you. I'll repeat what he said. Taurens, not Medusa! "
The Chief Tauren expressed a considerable degree of importance to Chen Rui. Of course, he earned all this with his own ability and efforts.
Although the Taurens were straightforward, it could not be ignored that they were also fierce and powerful demonic beasts. They once harmed the mine. In the self-centered concept of Demons, even intelligent demonic beasts were just "demonic beasts". Even the most powerful dragon was no exception. In fact, dragons, Demons, and Taurens were all intelligent beings.
If it weren't for < Analytical Eyes >, if it weren't for his prompt decision to help the Taurens, perhaps he could only take Athena and Dodo to flee for their lives in this underground world full of terrifying demonic beasts.
"Thank you, dear King. I captured an Earth Elemental on the way, but this Earth Elemental is a little different from the others. Please allow me to interrogate him. Maybe I can get more information before the enemy's next attack. "
"You have the right to dispose of your captive. Thank you again, my friends. " The Chief Tauren nodded and gestured to Watt to arrange a temporary cave for Chen Rui to rest. Then, he turned around and left.
Chen Rui gave Torre a few more bottles of potions and followed Watt to a quiet cave with Athena, Dodo, and the Earth Elemental Doug.
The Taurens' proficiency in architecture was well-known in the Demon Realm. Due to limited conditions, there were no special buildings in this lair. It was just some caves that looked simple on the surface. However, the use of space and design were unique, showing a sense of ingenuity.
The space inside the cave was relatively large, dry, and warm. It was much more comfortable than outside. Chen Rui knew that Athena's stamina and strength were greatly consumed. When she was in Medusa's Lair previously, she had replenished some food, but she had hardly rested since last night. He immediately took out tents, sleeping bags and other items from the storage warehouse.
"Athena, you have to sleep. Your body is too tired."
Athena originally wanted to talk to him, but when she heard this proposal, she frowned slightly.
Chen Rui knew her thoughts and smiled slightly, "There are still a lot of words between us. It can't be finished in a short time. Maybe … it can't be finished in a lifetime. In the future, we have plenty of time. Before that, you must let your body recover well, or else you won't even have the strength to beat me up. "
Athena faintly heard the subtle meaning in his words, and her face suddenly blushed. She was more secretly delighted in her heart. She deliberately snorted and entered the tent. Her body was indeed very tired after a series of fierce battles, and she experienced the excitement of the first passionate kiss. After relaxing, she quickly entered a sweet dream.
Chen Rui gave Dodo a few pieces of food and let him rest for a while. The slime was worried that he would be abandoned by his master if he slacked off for a while, so he was relieved to see that. The smart slime knew that his master would definitely deal with this stone guy after catching him, so he didn't flatter and praise him as usual. He consciously took the food, chose a more comfortable corner, and enjoyed it.
"Doug, let's sit down and talk."
The earth elemental sat down as instructed. Chen Rui said, "Doug, my name is Chen Rui. First, I want to ask you a few questions. You must answer truthfully, then I will consider how to help you."
The earth elemental nodded, and Chen Rui asked, "As far as I know, the elementals have their own rules. Why do the earth elementals kill other creatures, and why do they become companions with those demonic flies? "
Doug's facial features were blurred, and his specific expression couldn't be seen. There was only doubt in his voice, "I don't know. For many years, we have been living in the Earth Realm and never invaded other creatures. But one day, when the Earth Elemental King underwent some kind of mutation, many things changed. As for those demonic flies, in my memory, they have never appeared in the underground world before. It seems that they only appeared suddenly in the past few hundred years. "
Chen Rui's mind moved slightly, and he asked, "Did the demonic flies appear after the Earth Elemental King mutated?"
Doug seemed to be recalling, and finally nodded, "Yes."
"What exactly is the mutation of the Earth Elemental King?"
"I don't know, but the people who accepted the mutation will have strange changes. All their previous memories will disappear, and they will only obey the Earth Elemental King absolutely. The people who are unwilling to accept the mutation will be destroyed, so Tag led us to escape from the Earth Realm. "
This kind of mutation should be a kind of control! It's just that the Earth Elemental King originally had the natural coercion to control all the earth elementals. Why did he have to do this? What does it have to do with those demonic flies? Chen Rui thought for a while and asked, "The Earth Elemental King is very powerful. It shouldn't be difficult to destroy the opposing creatures or the defectors. Why didn't he do it himself?"
Doug shook his head, "Before escaping from the Earth Realm, the great king meditated in the palace for hundreds of years and never came out. I heard that it seemed to be related to getting something. Maybe only Tag knows the specific situation. He is an elite earth elemental with strong strength. He was once the leader of the three most trusted elites of the king. "
The Earth Elemental King got "something" … meditated for hundreds of years … then the demonic flies appeared … other "mutated" earth elementals … began to destroy other creatures … underground demonic beasts rampaged in the mine …
Chen Rui faintly felt that these clues could be connected together to become the key to solving the mystery, but there seemed to be a few key links missing in the middle. Perhaps he could get the answer from the leader of the earth elemental "rebels", Tag.
Since the earth elementals and demonic flies madly killed other creatures, the uncontrolled earth elementals like Tag had to be wary of the demonic flies and their controlled companions. They were also hated by other creatures, so they could only stagger forward in the cracks. It was very difficult for them to survive. Today, Doug was ordered by Tag to investigate the battle between the taurens and the demonic flies. He was accidentally discovered by the taurens and happened to meet Chen Rui while escaping.
Chen Rui was thinking about one thing. For the underground world, he was just an outsider. Even if the Earth Elemental King ruled the entire underground world, it had nothing to do with him. The most important thing at the moment was how to safely return to the mine on the surface.
If there was no other way out, he could only use his brain to go back to the only way and rely on the power of the Demon Emperor to forcefully break open the channel. Even if he had the Super System, it was impossible to become a Demon Emperor powerhouse in a short time. He had to rely on external forces. Chief Tauren and Queen Medusa were considered the top powerhouses in the underground world, but he didn't know if they could meet the requirements to break the barrier.
If Chief Tauren and Queen Medusa couldn't do it, then there was only one choice left … the Earth Elemental King.
