Due to the dangerous environment, the size of an underground city was usually proportional to the city's strength.
The more powerful an underground city was, the easier it was to attract the underground races to settle down. Naturally, the scale of the city would be larger.
Although Black Rock City seemed to have been renovated and expanded, it was still a small city overall.
Seeing this, Huo Xu muttered to himself.
Was the news of resisting the shadow army and defeating the shadow dragon true?
Of course, although Huo Xu was muttering to himself, as the leader of the team, he could not show his hesitation.
Moreover, His Holiness the True God's oracle couldn't be wrong. Since His Holiness said that Black Rock City was the place of hope, they must have not discovered the real hope.
Thinking of this, Huo Xu coughed and said to his companions, "Don't be anxious.
"Don't worry, everyone. We'll know everything once we enter Black Rock City and meet Lady Eleanor."
Lady Eleanor was the leader of the Death Shrine stationed in Black Rock City. She was a devout God's chosen one.
Hmm … She was also the target of Hella's God's Descent twice.
By the way, Hella's original body wasn't short. It was only because the Dark Dwarves were short that they appeared short when they were possessed by God's Descent.
That was off-topic.
Hearing Huo Xu's words, the team suppressed their doubts.
They tidied up their appearances and prepared to enter the city.
However, just as they were about to enter the city, they saw a team of tall figures walking over from the other side.
They were five Elves who were dressed like mercenaries. Two of them were spellcasters while the other three were strength-type.
The equipment on their bodies was incomparably gorgeous. Each of them carried a large and bulging backpack. They chatted and laughed as they walked towards the city gate.
"Oh Death! Are they Elves? I actually saw wild Elves in the underground world! And they're mercenaries! "
Seeing the dazzling figures, the Underground Gnome couldn't help but cast a curious, admiring, and greedy gaze at them.
Not only him, but the rest of the team was also surprised.
To be honest, they were all members of the Elder Council of their respective cities. Naturally, they had seen these long-lived species that were said to be the most noble and beautiful in the world in the slave market of their own cities.
However, in their memories, this was the first time they had seen an elf in the wild!
Not to mention, these elves were completely different from their companions who had been reduced to slaves. They were brimming with vitality and possessed a unique aura that made it difficult for one to look away.
How should I put it? Perhaps clothes made the man. With their exquisite equipment, these elves were even more dazzling than the elven slaves in their memories.
They chatted and laughed with each other. Their bright smiles were like bright lights in the darkness under the fluorescent stones on top of the cave, causing the haze in the hearts of the group to dissipate.
This was the effect of good looks.
For a moment, everyone naturally had a good impression of these unfamiliar elves, and they subconsciously associated the elves with words like "sunshine," "kindness," and "nobility."
"Elven mercenaries?"
Unlike the other members, Huo Xu's expression froze.
This was because he sensed a dense aura of death from the other party's body.
How could an elf possess the aura of death?
As a Necromancer and Priest of Death, Firebeard was extremely sensitive to the aura of death.
These elves were not priests of the God of Death, so there could only be one source of the aura of death on them — slaughter!
These elves … were far from the sunshine and kindness that they appeared to be!
At this moment, the backpack of one of the elves seemed to be unable to withstand the weight. It suddenly broke, and a large bloody object fell out of it.
It was a piece of magical beast meat.
At the same time, the elf who accidentally broke the backpack exclaimed.
"F * ck! My ingredients fell on the ground! "
The other elves quickly stopped and helped him tidy up the broken backpack while saying casually, "It's fine.
You can still eat it after you wash it. "
Then, they packed up and entered Black Rock City as if nothing had happened.
Everyone was speechless.
For a moment, the underground races subconsciously shuddered.
They looked at each other and saw the absurdity and shock in each other's eyes.
"Just now … he said ingredients? They eat meat? Elves eat meat? Don't they always eat grass? "
The underground gnome's voice was very strange.
Huo Xu was also horrified.
He pondered for a moment and said,
"Maybe it's a variant of the elves? A race that migrated to the underground world or something like that … "
After saying that, he took a deep breath.
"We've arrived at Black Rock City. Let's enter together."
The diplomatic group continued forward and soon entered Black Rock City. They expressed their intentions to the city guards.
After verifying their identities, the Dark Dwarves guarding the city immediately became respectful.
"The Temple Master has already informed us in advance. Please follow me, my lords."
Then, he led the group to the God of Death's Temple in Black Rock City.
After entering Black Rock City, the diplomatic group realized that Black Rock City was far more prosperous than they had imagined.
People came and went and it was very lively. Instead of calling it a remote underground city, it was more like a flourishing trade city.
Of course, what surprised them the most was the large number of elves they saw after entering the city!
Oh God of Death!
Did the elves settle down in Black Rock City?!
Not only that, but all the elves in the city were wearing luxurious equipment. The shiny special effects were especially eye-catching in the dark underground world.
These elves were active in various parts of Black Rock City. They were either doing business or passing by in a hurry. Many of them were even riding ferocious spiders. The surrounding Gloomy Dwarves were also used to their presence.
"Oh God of Death! I've never seen so many elves in my life! If it wasn't for the darkness, I would have thought that I've come to the surface world! "
The underground gnome exclaimed.
Another Dark Dwarf in the team shook his head.
"The surface world? I'm afraid you've never seen so many elves in the surface world. "
Just as they were moving forward, there was a commotion and cheering from the side.
Huo Xu and the others subconsciously looked over and saw that it was two fully armed elven warriors fighting.
Duels were very common in the underground world. As long as they did not destroy the city's facilities, nobody would stop them. But … when the duelists were elves, it felt a little strange.
When the diplomatic group saw the state of the two duelists, they were even more shocked.
The two elves were covered in blood and had hideous wounds. One of them had his stomach cut open by the other, and the intestines could be vaguely seen. The other had his shoulder chopped off … the scene was extremely bloody and violent.
However, the two elves were laughing heartily at each other and were still fighting. While they were fighting to the death, their attitudes towards each other were very strange. It was as if they didn't care about their injuries at all. They would even chat with each other as if they were old friends …
Obviously, these two fellows were not fighting because of personal grudges.
Seeing this scene, the diplomatic group was stunned. The image of the elves in their hearts collapsed instantly, but they could not understand.
"Are these elves … crazy?"
Huo Xu was also stunned. At the same time, he suddenly remembered a rumor in the underground world …
It was a rumor about the elves.
