Brighteris.
In the language of the dark elves, it meant 'City of Thousand Spiders'.
This city located in the depths of the Underdark was far colder and more terrifying than its name suggested. Standing outside the big hole and looking in, one could see that the most dazzling thing was the bright red obsidian pillar at the top. It emitted a faint dark red glow, barely illuminating the city.
Dark purple flames could be vaguely seen in the city. That was the dark elves' demonic fire, a symbol used to prove their status and sphere of influence.
"Alright, everyone get ready. Put on your cloaks."
"Eh? Do I need to do that? "
Little Black was obviously not very happy. She had never liked to wear too much, especially this kind of clothes that covered her whole body. She did not like it at all.
"In the underground world, your weapons are strength and mysteriousness. Only by doing so can you effectively restrain those malicious gazes. If you walk into the city like this, no one knows what will happen. "
Fangzheng explained plainly, and the grey dwarf beside him added, "My Lord is right.
"Your words make sense, Sir. Also, you have to be careful. The Dark Elves in this city are very greedy. If you attract their attention, you might be captured."
"Captured?"
Hu Tao looked at the grey dwarf curiously.
"Why would I be captured?"
"To be a servant."
"Er ….. Servant???"
"The dark elves are a matriarchal society."
Fangzheng sighed helplessly as well. Following that, he explained in detail to the girls.
"In the world of the dark elves, women have the most powerful strength and occupy the highest position. To them, other males and races are inferior creatures, including their own male dark elves. Well … .to put it simply, it's similar to those cruel lords in many stories who forcibly abduct women, except that the gender is reversed. "
"Huh? There's such a thing? "
Hearing this, Hu Tao was also dumbfounded. She had seen similar situations several times when she was a mercenary, and she would also help when she saw injustice. But it was basically men who abducted women, while women abducted men ….. This was the first time she heard of it.
"Heh heh heh, big brother, you're going to feel good this time."
However, Little Black came to Fangzheng's side with a strange smile, stretched out his arm, and then blinked his eyes.
"With your looks, big brother, wouldn't those dark elven women go crazy fighting over you? Big Brother, you might as well not fight and just use your face to sneak in. You're throwing yourself at us. Don't tell me you're not willing? "
"Haha …"
Faced with Little Black's teasing, Fangzheng sneered. Without saying a word, he silently took out his cloak and wrapped it around himself.
Next, the group dressed up as the guards of the caravan and arrived at the entrance of the Dark Elven City. The entrance looked exceptionally exquisite and nauseating. There was a huge, terrifying spider carved on its door frame. Its eight legs spread out and supported itself on the ground as a door frame, blocking everyone's path like a spider's web. Above their heads, the spider's eyes and mouthparts were vividly displayed as if the spider could come to life at any time.
"This spider is the guardian of this city. Legend has it that it's a gift given to the dark elves by the gods. It's also a symbol that this city is blessed by the gods."
The gray dwarf looked up at the huge spider statue in front of him and introduced it to everyone in a low voice.
"Don't say or do anything disrespectful to this statue. Otherwise, any dark elf can use it as a reason to take your life."
"Of course, I understand."
Fangzheng said while tapping his fingers lightly. At the next moment, the Xenomorphs hidden in the darkness behind them seemed to have received some order. They quickly dispersed and disappeared into the shadows.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
"Yes, sir."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, the gray dwarf nodded hurriedly. He strode to the entrance with his short legs, took out a badge from his pocket, and waved it hard. The badge flashed, and a window next to the door was pulled open. A dark elf poked his head out and looked in their direction.
After seeing the gray dwarf, he frowned.
"It's you? Why are you back? "
"Hahaha, there's a problem with my goods. The client wants to buy more dark grass …."
The gray dwarf smiled awkwardly at the dark elf guard's mockery. Upon hearing his answer, the dark elf guard frowned.
"Okay, come in, but I can't guarantee that you can leave alive."
"Of course, I understand, I understand …."
"Rumble …."
Soon, the stone door opened a gap, and the gray dwarf led his caravan and Fangzheng and the others in.
It was obvious that this wasn't the gray dwarf's first time in this city. He only whispered a few words to the dark elf guard and took out some "toll", and the other party allowed them to enter the city. But the dark elf guard obviously didn't have a good temper towards Fangzheng and the others.
"You only have one day, outsiders."
The dark elf guard glared fiercely at the gray dwarf and Fangzheng next to him. The dark elf guard was only about 1.5 meters tall, wore black armour, and had a longsword and crossbow at his waist. Although it wasn't nice to say it, the male dark elves looked like the African refugees Fangzheng had seen on TV before. Their limbs were stiff, their skin was dark, and their faces looked more like those of a jackal. Coupled with their long silver-white hair, they looked quite ugly — at least according to the aesthetic standards of the surface world.
"You can stay in the exemption zone for now, but you can't leave. If you haven't left by the time the next obsidian light rises to the top, you will become our slaves! Understand?! "
"Yes, I understand, I understand …."
Upon hearing the dark elf guard's warning, the gray dwarf nodded hurriedly and was about to leave with the earth beast. But at that moment, they suddenly heard a low trembling sound.
"Boom! Boom! "
It sounded like the footsteps of an elephant. Upon hearing this sound, the gray dwarves and dark elves paled instantly.
"That's it. Hurry up and go to the exemption zone!"
After saying this in a hurry, the dark elf guard returned to the tower and slammed the door shut.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng pricked up his brows and looked at the gray dwarf, who smiled awkwardly.
"My lord, please be careful. We'll hide here and don't move …."
As he spoke, the gray dwarf led the earth beasts to hide in an alley not far away, then quietly looked out. After a while, the gray dwarf's expression changed slightly, and he gestured to Fangzheng and the others.
"It's coming. Hide carefully!"
It's coming? What's coming?
While Fangzheng and the others were puzzled, they soon saw a huge shadow walking over from the other side of the street.
It was a huge spider.
It was more than two meters tall. The front half was in the shape of an ordinary spider, but the back half, which should have been a bulging abdomen, was in the shape of a person.
A human woman.
To be exact, it was a fat human woman.
She looked like a mountain of flesh. The lower part of her body was connected to the front half of the spider's body, while the upper part of her body was covered in layers of fat. The human mountain of flesh had the appearance of a spider everywhere. She widened her eyes and looked around like a hound. At the same time, she let out a low, indistinct growl.
After a while, the strange thing gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
"Phew …. What the hell is that? It's disgusting …."
Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, as if she could not bear to look at it.
"I heard that it's a human who was once captured by the dark elves."
The gray dwarf wiped the sweat off his forehead and said in a low voice.
"Rumor has it that she offended the Spider Goddess, which is why she became like this. She's a psychopath who kills outsiders on sight. It's best not to come into contact with her."
"That's right …."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng nodded.
It's better to stay away from this kind of thing.
