Fried Tomato led the First Army Guild's team to explore along the rocky path.
As they walked, the players would use their identification skills on new species and scramble to collect detailed information about the underground world.
This was the side mission of the [Explore the underground world] mission — [Monster Detection]. It required the players to identify monsters, plants, animals, and other species. A total of ten identifications were needed to complete the mission.
The players had also identified that the giant fern that preyed on small monsters was a type of magical plant called the Dark Purplish Fern. It could prey on animals that strayed into it, and was a great threat to creatures below the Upper Level of Iron.
Of course, as a magical plant, it was also a good magical material. However, with the players' strength, there was no way they could obtain it.
However, they also planned to return after the exploration to see if they could ask the NPCs for help.
In addition to [Monster Detection], there was also the side mission of [Map Drawing].
This was simple. As long as the players passed by an area, a small map would open, and the system would automatically record their path. They only needed to use [Detection] to scan the surrounding terrain and upload it to the system.
As long as they could record a map with an area of one kilometer, the mission would be completed.
These two missions seemed simple, but they also tested the players' hand speed.
This was because once a player recorded a new species or map and uploaded it to the game system, the other player could not repeat the recording and had to find new species and new areas.
This was Eve using the players' hands to explore the underground world.
Although Eve had obtained some information about the underground world from the Queen of Spiders Lolth, it was actually limited and was far less detailed than the players' personal exploration.
This place was far from her original body and was not within Eve's control range. There might be other true gods, so she could not use her divine power to scan directly. She could only rely on the players.
As the players' consciousness was connected to Eve's game system, the information they collected would be reflected to Eve and recorded by her. This mode was quite useful.
In any case, the players were having a lot of fun exploring the area.
Win-win, win-win.
If the players wanted to complete the Main Plot Mission [Explore the Underworld], they would have to complete 50 Side Missions!
Eve had calculated that with the maximum exploration distance she provided for the Players, 50 [Map Drawing] was just enough for the Players to explore all the areas of the underground world that could be reached by the Players …
However, 50 side quests were not easy to complete. This number was not something that could be completed by one or two people.
At this time, the benefits of a large guild were reflected. They had more people and a bigger team!
In order to complete this mission, Tomato Fried Tomato had gathered all the high-level players of the First Army. There were more than a hundred of them, and they had specially chosen a certain night in Bluestar to go online and explore.
He led the guild members and walked for about three kilometers before finally bypassing this strange dark purple forest.
However, as he explored, the inexplicable feeling in Fried Tomato's heart grew stronger and stronger. He always felt that something was secretly spying on him …
As the highest-leveled player in the guild, he trusted his sixth sense.
After some hesitation, he asked the Hunter player in charge of the frontline exploration.
"Little Eight, did you detect any living creatures nearby? Why do I keep feeling that something is watching us? "
A Hunter player with green Chinese characters above his head, "Eight Tyrants," used a few [Detection] skills and said, "Guild Leader, there are a lot of living creatures here.
"Guild Leader, there are quite a lot of auras around here. Perhaps … a magical beast has noticed us. But there doesn't seem to be any strong presence. I don't think we need to worry. "
"Is that so …"
Fried Tomato muttered.
Then, he glanced at the names above the Eight Tyrants, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"By the way, I suggest you change your nickname. Otherwise, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage when I call you by your name …"
The Eight Tyrants were speechless.
"Hahahahaha!"
The other players laughed.
The whole team advanced in a cheerful atmosphere …
After bypassing the dark purple forest of giant ferns, they saw a huge mushroom forest that blocked their way.
The smallest of these mushrooms was three meters tall and emitted a demonic light blue color. The mushroom cap also flickered with a deep light, illuminating the surroundings beautifully. Under the mushrooms, there was a soft, brownish-black soil.
When they arrived here, the players also saw traces of Magical Beasts.
They were very small and ran very fast. They shuttled between the mushrooms and looked at the passing Elves with vigilance.
Unlike the Magical Beasts on the surface, the Magical Beasts of the Underground World were generally dull in color as if they wanted to blend in with the environment. Moreover, they were generally very ugly.
A player also entered the mushroom forest on a whim and hunted.
He was a Hunter and was very fast. In an instant, he caught up with a Magical Beast and killed it. Then, he found that these Magical Beasts were not very strong.
This surprised him.
"Didn't they say that there are many monsters in the Underground World? It feels … very peaceful. "
He said doubtfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook. The soil where the player was standing suddenly flipped over, and a huge pincer stretched out.
Under the horrified gazes of all the players, a ferocious Magical Beast that looked like a giant scorpion drilled out and used its pincers to snap the player in half. Blood and organs spilled all over the ground, and it dragged the player's body into the soil …
All this happened in less than a few seconds.
And in a further place, similar giant scorpions emerged one after another. It looked like there were almost a hundred of them!
But when they found that their target had been preyed on by their companions, they quickly drilled back into the soil and returned everything to its original state …
And those vigilant small Magical Beasts swarmed forward, fighting to be the first to devour the flesh and organs that the player had spilled on the ground. Soon, all traces were wiped away and they continued to leisurely move through the mushroom forest …
As if … nothing had happened just now.
"F * ck!"
"F * ck!!"
The players were stunned.
Fried Tomato's expression was solemn, and then his eyes lit up.
"It's not that there aren't any powerful Magical Beasts, but they're hiding … Those Magical Beasts on the surface were deliberately left behind as bait to attract prey!"
When the giant scorpion appeared just now, he had appraised it. Its strength should be at the upper level of Dark Iron.
With this strength, if it was a Magical Beast without intelligence, the players could find its weakness and fight it with numbers. It was not impossible to win!
He took a deep breath and said excitedly.
"Brothers! It's time to work! Let's lure one or two out to test the waters! "
One of the goals of exploring the underground world was to find more Magical Beasts to level up!
Not to mention that these giant scorpions were blocking their way!
Hearing Fried Tomato's order, the players of the "First Army" were instantly excited. They began to form teams according to their usual combat mode of hunting Magical Beasts in the Elven Forest.
The Mages first chanted spells and cast explosive spells at a corner of the ground to try to anger the Magical Beasts.
Of course, the players were also prepared to run at any time because sometimes it was not just one Magical Beast that was angered, but a group of them. When that happened, it would be a competition of who could run faster.
But this time, the players were lucky.
A fireball spell blasted a big hole in the ground, and three giant scorpions were instantly angered.
Magical Beasts had no intelligence and relied on their instincts. They immediately drilled out of the ground, no longer hiding, and attacked the players …
Fried Tomato's eyes lit up.
"There are three of them! Everyone, split into three teams and find one to fight! "
"Main tank, pull the aggro! Druids, prepare to heal! Melee fighters, attack and disrupt, ranged support! "
"Change after one round, change to long-range explosive attacks, melee fighters, support!"
"One round at a time, see which one has the highest damage! Also, give priority to Fire and Light Magic! "
Fighting with Demonic Beasts every day, the 1st Legion had a lot of experience. Although they had never seen a scorpion-like Demonic Beast before, and they didn't know its habits and fighting mechanism, as long as they followed the "Elven Kingdom" strategy and explored a few times, at most some people would die, and they would find a way.
There were so many giant scorpions hidden here, and it was enough for them to collectively develop!
The hundreds of players quickly split into three teams according to their usual combat mode, and they each faced a giant scorpion and started fighting …
While the players were fighting, in the darkness, on the side of the cave wall, a pair of bright eyes appeared in a small cave.
There … seemed to be a hidden narrow tunnel, and someone was hiding there and spying on the players.
It was a short figure wearing dark gray clothes. He looked at the players who were excitedly fighting the giant scorpions with surprise and astonishment.
But very soon, his figure flashed and disappeared.
The players who were engrossed in the battle did not notice that someone was spying on them.
But Eve, who was constantly switching between the players' perspectives, noticed it.
"Was that … a Dark Dwarf?"
She was a little interested.
