The port area, core area, and noble area had perfect drainage facilities. The complex underground labyrinth was like another city.
Many gamblers, vagrants, and cultists wandered around here. Prostitutes and thieves also lingered here, doing their evil deeds in the dark alleys. Pirates and smugglers were frequent visitors here. They couldn't openly appear in the city, so this was the only place where they could find a comfortable place to rest.
The stinky, bloody Gold Derahls made this place as prosperous as the port area. A large number of dirty things were exchanged for Gold Derahls at low prices, which were then quickly spent on rum, gambling tables, and prostitutes.
In the deepest part of the complex underground city, the underground passage hub was shrouded by all kinds of magic auras. This was the location of the Thieves Guild. Everyone here knew that! However, in the face of the complex tunnels that were fixed with countless magic auras by Mages, Evil Masters, and Warlocks, prophecy spells and detection spells were almost useless.
Not to mention the Scattered Forest Tower Guild, Devil Order, and Evil God worshiping groups. They were all hiding dirty secrets in the depths of the darkness.
Apart from the Thieves Guild that built this place, no one could figure out how many secret passages there were in the underground city. Hundreds of years ago, the Thieves Guild cast a large-scale magic ritual here, desecrating all the land under Deep Water City, and set up a large-scale evil holy residence. Since then, every change here would be reflected on the Thieves Guild's secret map.
This was one of the reasons why the Thieves Guild had maintained its position as the underground leader of Deep Water City.
"These things are very unusual!"
In the depths of this mysterious Thieves Guild, a man's deep voice sounded in a dark room. An ordinary-looking middle-aged man raised his head from the black fog map on the table. He looked at the president opposite him with some uneasiness.
"The blurry area on the map is getting bigger and bigger. The deepest part of the underground city has been twisted into a dark flame. More than one-fifth of the underground city can only be seen as a blurry shadow. We are gradually losing control of this place! "
The president carefully touched the map in his hand. Looking at the black flames that represented extreme chaos and darkness, his heart was in a mess. "We are in a disadvantageous situation. Prophecy spells are being strongly interfered with, and we have no idea about the enemy! Where's the information I want? "
"President, more than 80 rogues have gone missing. Several teams with priests and mages have also gone missing."
"Missing? People often disappeared in this city, but that was for their surface identities. In the underground world, they were involved in conspiracies, evil, and murders. We know it like the back of our hands. Information is our life. The rule of the nobles can rely on order, but for the underground world, our rule is based on concealment and information. "
President He, who had sunk into anger and hatred, used his ice-cold fingernails to scratch the scroll on the table. "We are rooted in this city, deeply rooted in its sinful soil. We are inseparable from it. This place was filled with blood and filth, profit and wealth. It is the source of our survival. "
"We've met with many dangers. We've been ostracized by the nobles and attacked by the good Order Gods. There's also the Scattered Forest Tower Guild, the Shadow Thieves, the Cult of Worship of Dragon, and the Cult of Fear, but none of these threaten our foundations. Because the Thieves Guild coexists with this city, we have already blended into the darkness of this city. "
"In the breathing of this city, we are the ones who set up the casinos, we are the ones who chase people for gambling debts, we are the ones who blackmail and kidnap people. We will also be the ones who will consume the excess population of this city. All of this was like a millstone of flesh and blood. Squeezing out the blood of the excess population here to support this city. "
"This is the soil of the Guild's survival! It is also our inexhaustible source! As long as we are still deep in the evil soil that controls this city. No one can uproot us from this city. "
The president looked straight into the man's eyes and said coldly, "And the symbol of this control lies in information. We need to see this city in order to control it! "
Deeper underground, on the long river of lava, the hot air distorted Chen Ang's expression.
In front of him was a scene that could give people nightmares. Pale white skeletons, neatly separated muscles and organs, dark red, deep red, bright red, pale white. The different colors were clearly separated, even orderly. Those biological tissues followed their internal laws and functions, and were classified in an extremely scientific way.
Extreme order and seriousness revealed a cruelty that was extremely purposeful. This cruelty did not lie in the cruelty and bloodshed of venting, but in the coldness of extreme equality. This attitude of life and death as one, all things being equal, made any existence that had a sense of identity with life shudder.
If a lich saw this scene, he would definitely classify the biological tissues and organs here, revealing the accumulated knowledge about life functions and biology, worshipping them, praising the thoughts and knowledge contained within.
But to Chen Ang, this was just a standard experiment.
Ferocious beasts were really a kind of mysterious existence. They did not have any magical abilities, but their bodies were extremely strong. They were larger than their original forms, harder to deal with, and more savage. Their bodies had usually mutated, and their muscles and bones had undergone extreme changes compared to their normal counterparts.
This change was also what the warrior imitated, and it was called Ferocious Transformation.
Fascia, mutated muscles, and strengthened bones were not the focus of Chen Ang's research. This was because the changes in appearance were the easiest to model and dissect, but the in-depth study of such changes had a different kind of charm. On the Faerun Continent, the warrior's formal training would use herbs, magic, and even divine spells to strengthen the process of Ferocious Transformation.
But what they paid attention to was to imitate the results of the mutation of ferocious beasts, borrowing these external forces to form Ferocious Transformation in advance. Only an extremely small number of mages would be curious enough to explore the mysteries within. Unfortunately, because spellcasters had long looked down on non-magical abilities, their research in this area was lacking.
Only the Gods with the Divine Title of Warrior were proficient in and understood the deeper secrets of Ferocious Transformation. And Chen Ang lacked the channels to obtain such information, unless he attacked the Temple.
The expansion of the Demon-Addicted Gnomes in the swamps and the wilderness had given Chen Ang a large number of research samples. The ever-expanding spellcaster community's control and infiltration of the city was becoming tighter and tighter. This created a good research environment for him.
Therefore, Chen Ang's understanding of Ferocious Transformation, and even its internal laws and knowledge, was deepening at an alarming rate. Regarding knowledge that was mostly non-magical, Chen Ang's research was very easy to obtain considerable results. Currently, it seemed that the most difficult areas were related to the field of magic.
This result created a very unfortunate reality for Deep Water City.
The Ferocious Gnomes and Ferocious Kobolds were no longer a small problem!
The Ferocious Gnomes and Ferocious Kobolds were no longer a small problem, and the Ferocious Ogres and Ferocious Demon Addicts were a rather terrifying threat. Perhaps compared to the warriors, their battle techniques and weapon control were very crude, but under the control of Chen Ang's unique Ferocious Methods and his killing instinct, these evil creatures still possessed a rather terrifying ability to threaten.
The Ferocious Demon Addicts produced a large number of low-level magic items in the magma, which would make up for their greatest lack of Magic Resistance. There were also the unique racial talents of the Gnomes, Ogres, and Kobolds that provided a large number of spellcasters. Ferocious Gnome Mages, Ferocious Ogre Wizards, and Kobolds Dragon Bloodline Warlocks.
An evil force that belonged to Chen Ang was showing its ferocity and hiding its claws beneath Deep Water City.
"9527, pay attention to the test subject's vital signs. Check the injection device and potion … "Chen Ang ordered as he carefully observed the semi-ferocious muscle tissue.
9527 quickly ran from the edge of the cross to the other side with its short legs. It checked whether the Gnomes hanging on it were tightly bound while it adjusted the potion and injection position. Most of the Gnomes that came here were people who had lost their minds due to Ferocious Demon Addiction. Their resistance to Charm Spells was rather high.
