It only took half a cigarette's time for the 13 people on the Hounds' side to be wiped out.
Those eyes hidden in the darkness were still repeatedly thinking about what they should do to delay until the main force arrived after the Hounds succeeded. In the end, they soon realized that they didn't need to worry about this problem anymore.
When the 13 corpses lay on the ground, everyone's eyes widened. They had witnessed the entire process of the fight, but it was as if they had seen nothing.
When it came to things beyond common sense, humans' first reaction was to doubt their own senses. Hence, when Rob hung his sword on his waist again, there was only dead silence around him.
However, fear was like a tide, spreading wildly in everyone's heart.
In fact, the people who felt fear were not only the eyes in the dark. Even the ugly woman who was standing with a certain someone could not help but feel a strange emotion after witnessing the powerful force.
In the past, there had never been such a powerful existence in Ao Grimm. It was as if a lion had suddenly broken into a wolf's den. As a member of the wolf pack, the ugly woman instinctively felt threatened. Hence, with a complicated expression, she asked the question that everyone wanted to know, "You … Who exactly are you?"
"A passerby." Rob said calmly, "Don't worry. I'm not interested in things like territory and power. I'm not here to fight with you for resources. I just want to find my companion. So please tell the others in this prison that if they find her, they can wait for me at the Gray Rat Tavern. Other than the promised reward, I can also give this ring to them."
The latter part of his sentence was specially said for the people hiding in the dark to hear.
Rob was very clear about what kind of place Ao Grimm was. It was far from enough to drive the villains in this prison to work for him with benefits alone. Even if the lady boss was willing to help, it was hard to say how much these people would care. Once they found Lolo, there was no guarantee that they would not have other thoughts.
Rob didn't do anything in the tavern, not because he was good-tempered, not because he had any compassion, but because he felt that there were too few spectators here.
Killing was just a method. What was important was what kind of message he wanted to convey through this method, and how to let everyone see the message he wanted to convey.
The ugly woman had always wondered why he had let those people go to cause trouble for him. In fact, the reason was very simple. Other than releasing the news of him finding Lolo through these people, he also wanted to use them to tell the various forces on the surface that he had a great treasure on him.
Because this was the only way he could make those eyes hidden in the darkness rush over and watch him kill with their own eyes.
Rob used this method to tell everyone in Orgreenwich that the girl named Luo Luo was his companion. If anyone dared to do anything to her, they'd better think about what happened to the Hounds and the others before they even thought about it.
After all, this was Ao Grimm's rule. Power was the foundation of everything. The deterrence of force was far more direct and shocking than the temptation of benefits.
After that, no one came to disturb them on the way. Even the tail behind them disappeared completely. Until they reached the manor in the east, the two didn't even meet a single person.
Although the population of Ao Grimm's rule had always been maintained at a very low level because of the lack of resources, it was not to such a low level that they couldn't see a single person after walking so far. Even the nearby streets were clean. Then there was only one explanation — the people nearby had already received the news and ran away.
It seemed that the previous matter had already spread.
It wasn't until they entered the manor that the ugly woman finally saw a few familiar faces.
Ao Grimm's rule was not divided into two underground levels from the beginning. The soil here was special, and the content of copper and iron was extremely high. Even with the help of tools, it was very difficult to dig. This was also one of the main reasons why the temple chose this place as a prison. It could prevent the prisoners inside from escaping by digging tunnels.
The appearance of this underground level was actually a coincidence. When the prison was about to be built, someone accidentally found a tunnel. Below it was a huge natural cave. The temple sent people to explore this cave, and after a few months, they finally determined that it was a completely sealed space. Other than a tunnel that led to the surface, there was no other way out. However, the internal structure of the cave was very complicated, and there were many forks and branches.
The Church used a total of 20,000 laborers to build this giant prison, and it took nearly 120 years. At this time, it was obviously impossible to change the location. In addition, the cave itself had no way to connect to the outside world, which meant that the space inside the prison had almost doubled. So in the end, the temple didn't care about this extra level anymore.
There was almost no water in the underground world, and there was no sunlight. There were only some mosses and ferns. Even bats couldn't survive here, so at first, no prisoners were willing to live here. Later, some people could no longer stay on the surface for various reasons, and had no choice but to escape underground.
There was no water or food here. People living on the surface originally thought that these people who escaped underground would die soon, and become a pile of bones. After a period of time, some people claimed to have seen these people underground again. No one knew how they survived, but as time passed, a small world gradually formed underground.
This dark world was far more dangerous and complex than the surface, and the competition was also more intense.
The people living here might not be as strong as the people on the surface, but they were more ferocious and cunning. In a one-on-one, they might not be a match for those on the surface, but if the environment was confined to a dark and dark cave, they could often kill opponents several times stronger than themselves.
However, the upper and lower levels of Ao Grimm were not completely without communication. There were relatively rich resources on the surface, and as a reward, some people would issue some wanted tasks underground. As long as anyone could catch or kill a designated target underground, they would get the corresponding reward, and even the right to return to the surface. There were also some unique "special products" underground, which could be used to trade with the surface.
And in charge of the passage connecting the surface and the underground world was a big force called Nightingale.
Half a year ago, Nightingale had just completed the leadership change, and the new leader was an eighth-grade archer.
The ugly woman had fought with him once or twice. He seemed to have lived in the underground world for a period of time, so he always had a cold and damp smell on his body.
