'It's all because of that Mafa Merlin, that damned guy, how could he have such a formidable research on bloodline transplants? This is impossible, the intelligence we gathered didn't have any information about this …
'That guy, how could he …'
'Since he knows so much about bloodline transplants, then Amy must have already fallen. Damnit, she must have already fallen, Mafa Merlin must have found her weakness and made her thoroughly die …
'How could Mafa Merlin make such a terrifying potion? It's all over now …'
"Your Excellency Sunny, I remember that when the headquarters made the decision to hand over the Rose Circle to you and Amy, it was because they trusted your abilities. However, over the years, the intelligence you've gathered hasn't been outstanding. You've even exposed the secrets of the Rose Circle many times.
"This time, those idiots from the Shadow Tower went to retaliate against Mafa Merlin without permission. Did you think your actions wouldn't leave any traces? "Maybe all the major forces of the Odin Kingdom already have your information.
"Moreover, how did you get the information? Didn't you find out anything? "Stupid guy, after this matter is over, you will personally explain it to the Elder Council!"
Max pointed at Sunny's nose and angrily roared. After roaring, he led the Crown of Thorns' group to choose a passage to leave.
The group walked into one of the passages, and the ashen black mist covering Sunny's body fiercely churned before suddenly exploding. The ashen black mist filled the entire cave, and the ominous death energy filled the air, eroding everything it encountered.
"Mafa Merlin, I want you dead, you are dead, you are dead, I'll make you suffer until you die, I'll return the humiliation you brought me several times over …" Sunny stood in the cave and angrily roared.
Sunny stood in the cave and angrily roared. After a few minutes, Sunny sneered and didn't follow the Crown of Thorns' team. Instead, he chased after the passage Lin Yun had just entered.
Lin Yun led Xiuban and Reina through one cave after another. Countless passages were connected to this cave, making it look like a huge maze.
That cave just now seemed to lead them to the surface. However, if they went through the next cave, they could find a tunnel that went deeper underground. Any tunnel could lead them deep underground.
That was just a show for the people of the Crown of Thorns to think that he was ready to return to the surface. As for whether they believed him or not, it didn't matter.
"Merlin, why did we split up with those people? With those guys around, didn't you say that it would be easier to return?"
Shawn was holding a piece of mana crystal and sitting on Xiuban's shoulder. He was nibbling on that hard mana crystal as if it was a snack, before chewing it into pieces and swallowing it.
Lin Yun was squatting on the ground, looking for some traces. When he heard Xiao En's words, he chuckled.
"Previously, we went underground with them because we needed to borrow their power. These guys with the bloodlines of different lifeforms have some special abilities. These abilities can ensure that we can smoothly go underground without fighting too much.
Without a battle, we naturally wouldn't awaken that terrifying monster deep underground. But now, I was certain that even if we were to battle, there wouldn't be a battle that required too much strength or extraordinary power.
"This is enough. Moreover, it wouldn't be good to have those guys following us when we reach the deepest part."
Shawn frowned, he couldn't understand.
"Isn't it more dangerous the closer we are to that monster, isn't it? Wouldn't it be better with those people's help? "
Lin Yun shook his head.
"Wrong, the situation here is rather special. The closer we get to that slumbering monster, the lower the danger. We are already halfway underground. If everything goes smoothly, we might reach our destination after a while.
"From here, the further down we go, the safer we will be. The closer we are to our destination, the safer we will be. Do you remember those giant worms?
Those giant worms are the most dangerous things underground. Although the ones we encountered weren't high level, they were of the lowest level. They were only responsible for looking for food. They were the lowest existences in the race. Even if they found food, they weren't qualified to eat it. They had to bring it back and offer it to a more memorable existence. "
As he spoke, Lin Yun touched the marks left on the stone wall beside him and smiled.
"Our luck isn't bad. Just now, I felt that those giant worms were a little strange, so I had some guesses. Now, I'm completely sure that the giant worms underground have encountered a food crisis. Now is their hunting season, so they will rush out of the underground and appear on the surface. They will hunt all the prey they see, and they will bring all the prey they hunt back underground.
This hunt could take up to a month or two. The giant worms we encountered were the soldiers responsible for patrolling the outer perimeter. Now that they've left, along with the traces here, it means that these giant worms have all come out of their nest and are rushing to the surface. We have enough time.
"Without those giant worms, we don't need Extraordinary Power to deal with the other things we encounter underground, just ordinary spells. Even if that guy underground wakes up, we'll have enough time to rush over."
Lin Yun was in a good mood. The most difficult part was the journey from the surface to the underground, there were too many monsters.
If the fluctuations of the battle were a bit stronger, or if they used Extraordinary Power, it would be sensed by that underground guy and he would be woken up. At that time, they wouldn't be able to kill their way underground.
In the underground, there were many restrictions on fighting. If that guy was awakened, and they didn't solve this problem, they would have to wait for a decade or even a few decades before that monster fell asleep again. Only then would it have a chance to come again. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to think about developing this plane …
With the help of the Crown of Thorns, the most difficult part became the easiest. After a smooth journey, the rest would be a lot easier. As long as he didn't wake that monster, Lin Yun was confident that he could make that monster slumber after reaching the depths of the earth. At that time, developing this plane would be very simple.
They kept moving forward, and sure enough, they didn't encounter any underground monsters. They only found some traces as they passed through the caves.
Those were the traces left behind by the underground monsters when the insect army attacked the surface, but they couldn't find any corpses. All the corpses were taken away by the insect army as food. Even the blood that spilled in the surroundings was cleaned up by the insects, not a single drop was wasted.
The traces Lin Yun found along the way were also left behind by the insect army when they were cleaning up, or when they were moving forward.
What happened next was very fast. The underground was a mess of tunnels and caves. It was very complicated, and the gravity here also became a little chaotic. It was impossible to just keep going down like in the beginning.
The traces left behind by the Giant Worm Army became road signs instead. Even these Giant Worms couldn't really distinguish between directions underground. The reason why they didn't get lost was that they would leave complete traces on the path they had taken. They would follow the original path to find their way back. Coupled with the huge number of Giant Worms, it didn't matter if they got lost.
The insect army killed their way to the surface, so they only needed to follow the traces left behind by the insect army and advance in the opposite direction. They could use this method to advance at least half of their journey.
In the darkness of the underground, only those caves had a bit of light from the Mana Crystals. Most places were pitch-black. In that kind of place, the sense of time was limitlessly reduced.
Slowly, the deeper they got, the more mana crystals started appearing in some of the tunnels connected to the caves. Those mana crystals were embedded in the walls, and pure mana crystals had already appeared in the caves. Although the quality couldn't compare to the mana crystals condensed in Lin Yun's Demiplane, it was already enough to meet the requirements of a magic battleship.
Even the most powerful magic battleships in the future could use these mana crystals as fuel for their mana reactors.
As they kept moving forward in the darkness, sharp Stone Spikes suddenly appeared in Xiuban's surroundings. The earth shook as those sharp Stone Spikes suddenly converged towards the center and ruthlessly stabbed towards Xiuban's waist.
In an instant, strange mana fluctuations appeared, and the stone wall under his feet seemed to have softened. At this time, everyone discovered that these weren't Stone Spikes, but rather the mouth of a two-meter-thick monster. Those sharp Stone Spikes were that monster's mouthpiece, and there were numerous crisscrossing teeth. There were at least a few hundred teeth in the ring.
The stone-like monster's mouthpiece was biting Xiuban's waist, and its teeth were shivering as if it wanted to tear Xiuban's lower body apart. Sharp grinding sounds echoed as the monster's mouthpiece tore at Xiuban's waist. It was like a vicious dog tearing at a hard rock, and in less than a second, a dozen of the monster's teeth were broken.
Apparently sensing that the prey in its mouth was very chewy and couldn't be torn apart, the monster's body started shrinking back into the ground, trying to drag Xiuban away.
Xiuban screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Sir Merlin, save me! Hurry up and save me! Damnit, that monster wants to eat me …" Xiuban shouted in panic.
Xiuban shouted in panic, full of energy. His waist hadn't been bitten by the monster, but his skin hadn't been broken. Seeing that he was about to be dragged underground, Xiuban's two hands propped up the stone walls on both sides. His arms suddenly became twice as thick as before, and while panicking out of fear, he supported his own body and relied on his arms to forcibly pull the monster out of the hole.
As Xiuban pulled the monster out of the stone wall, the monster still didn't let go. It could even be seen that the monster's body was like a huge earthworm, but its body was like a stone, and its aura was no different from the surrounding stone walls.
It had no eyes, no nose, no ears, only a huge mouth full of sharp teeth. Xiuban's legs kept kicking in the monster's mouth, and after a few seconds, Xiuban's legs could be seen tearing open the monster's mouth. The shattered part was like a stone, turning into a pile of rubble. There was no wound on the monster's body, but there was no blood.
Xiuban let out a blood-curdling scream as he extended his hands and forcibly smashed the monster's mouth into a pile of rubble.
At this time, Xiuban suddenly stopped screaming and touched his waist, which hadn't been broken. He then looked at the monster preparing to retreat into the hole and suddenly flew into a rage.
"Damnit, you actually dared to tease the great Lord Xiuban and still want to run?"
Xiuban bellowed and rushed over to grab the monster's body. A terrifying power appeared on his body, and in an instant, the monster's body was like an earthworm's head sticking out of the ground. Xiuban grabbed its body and forcibly pulled it out of the stone wall under his feet.
It looked like the monster's body was slowly pulled out of the ground by Xiuban. Over thirty meters of its body was pulled out of the ground, and the other end of the monster was still a mouth full of sharp teeth. After being pulled out of the ground, the monster twisted its body and bit at Lin Yun.
A hurricane's power exploded in the monster's mouth, and countless rubble was shattered. The monster's body also collapsed into a pile of ordinary stones.
But these stones were a lot harder than the surrounding stone walls, and there were some crushed worm corpses among the stones, as well as the corpses of some other monsters that couldn't be seen.
These were the parts that the stone monster hadn't digested.
A few dozen meters away, Xiuban threw away the stone in his hand and angrily rushed over, crushing every stone under his feet into pieces.
After crushing them, Xiuban walked over with a bitter expression. He felt that his actions had been too humiliating.
"Lord Merlin, why didn't you save me? What would I have done if I had really been eaten? That damned monster, why did it target me?"
Lin Yun smiled, while Shawn had already fallen to the ground and was crazily laughing.
"Idiot, you have the most meat on your body, if that monster didn't look for you, who else would it look for? Me? I walked past its mouth, but it didn't even bother to close its mouth to eat me …
"Idiot, a level 35 monster, with your thick skin and thick flesh, even if it swallowed you, it wouldn't be able to digest you …"
Xiuban had a dark expression and didn't say anything. He gritted his teeth and kept stepping on those stones.
Lin Yun cast a Mana Hand and dug out a stone covered in a layer of light from a pile of rubble.
That was a very special kind of material. It was a stone, but it was also a magic material. It was very useful in special places.
This kind of monster was also unique to this place. Its body was made of stone and could move through rocks. Let alone the aura, even the material was no different from the surrounding stone walls. How could it be discovered?
As long as the other side didn't appear, Lin Yun wouldn't be able to discover it. Moreover, it was just as Shawn had said. This kind of guy could only be caught at a time, so it would naturally look for the biggest one that looked like it could eat its fill.
With Xiuban, who was already close to 2.3 meters tall, this stone monster simply wouldn't choose anyone else.
Moreover, this monster only had a mouth and a body. Even if its body was cut in two, it could quickly recover if a part escaped. Only by destroying the two mouths could it be thoroughly killed.
"Be careful. We're almost at our destination."
Lin Yun felt the surrounding aura and environment and warned the few of them. At this point, the gravity had already become even more chaotic.
In his perception, the passage before them was clearly extending underground, but due to the gravity, they were climbing a slope. On the surface, it looked like this passage was also extending upwards.
After passing through three more caves and passing through those complicated passages, the changes in gravity became more and more chaotic. Even Heaven Mages would lose their sense of direction and location here.
Lin Yun kept dropping Mage Eyes in the passages between caves. Through these Mage Eyes, he confirmed his position, and with the method he already knew, he kept calculating his position and drawing the general structure of this underground passage to avoid getting lost.
The deeper they went, the more difficult the calculations became, and it took more and more time to confirm that they didn't get lost.
On another side, Max led the members of the Crown of Thorns underground and discovered more and more mana crystals. They even discovered many mana crystals. Although they only thought that these were very pure mana crystals that never existed in Noscent, no one was happy.
The main purpose of the Crown of Thorns in discovering a new plane wasn't to obtain wealth, but to find resources that were beneficial to them. Something that could help them was what they were truly looking for.
If they couldn't find something that could help with their bloodline transplant, even if they found a huge purple gold vein, they wouldn't be happy. It wasn't like they wouldn't be able to hold onto their gold coins and starve to death. No matter how much money they had, if they couldn't buy what they wanted, gold coins were just pieces of metal.
They finally found something better than resources, a potion that could even make up for their bloodline defects, but because of the mistake of the Crown of Thorns, it became an illusory mirage that could only be seen, but could no longer be obtained.
It would be strange if this group was happy. Even if Sang Ni had already fallen behind and wasn't with the group, no one cared about this matter. They were all looking forward to Sang Ni's death, and it would be best if she was killed by Lin Yun.
