When Han Shuo arrived at the area where the lizardmen lived, the first thing he heard was the deafening sounds of fighting. Gazing into the distance, Han Shuo saw dark elves everywhere, rushing towards the lizardmen's cave within the reddish-brown mountain.
Within the reddish-brown mountain, the lizardmen hid in the winding caves, holding simple and crude weapons to resist the attacks of the dark elves. These dark elves were obviously formed from a combination of several families. Their clothes were divided into purple, black, light green, and other colors.
There were close to ten thousand dark elves, but only a portion of them were actually attacking the mountain. Close to seven thousand were still watching from the outside, not participating in the attack this time.
Among the dark elves, there were a few good-looking youths with an ancient aura on their bodies that gave Han Shuo a headache. Han Shuo could sense from the aura of those handsome youths that their age didn't match their youthful appearance.
In the middle of those handsome youths, there was a purple gauze tent. Within the tent, there was a faint evil and strange aura that could bewitch all living things. Han Shuo's consciousness swept over. He didn't think that the person in the tent would actually react, a wave of aura rebounding along the path of Han Shuo's consciousness.
Han Shuo was startled and hastily concealed his aura, giving up on the idea of directly barging in. Instead, he used the earth elite zombie to open up a secret passage to the center. He planned to go inside and see the lizardmen leader first before doing anything else.
Han Shuo could sense the strength of the person in the purple gauze tent through her aura. Although this person's strength wasn't as terrifying as the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi's, she was much stronger than the average human great swordmaster or grand magus. Han Shuo carefully sensed her aura, feeling that this woman's aura was about the same as Lawrence's master, sacred swordmaster Karel Ascot. He couldn't help but feel a bit aghast.
Han Shuo didn't expect to meet such an expert in the underground world. With Han Shuo's current strength in the separate demon realm, if he had the Demonslayer Edge and Little Skull, he might be able to fight against such an expert. However, beside this person, there were several other handsome young men. The auras of these handsome young men were also very distant. Although they were not as powerful as the experts in the purple gauze tent, they were still very troublesome.
Apart from that, there were also over 7,000 Dark Elves surrounding them. Han Shuo wasn't arrogant enough to think that he could single-handedly confront this group of powerful Dark Elves.
Using the earth elite zombie to create a tunnel, Han Shuo made his way towards the center of the reddish-brown mountain. Clanking sounds of fighting reached his ears. It looked like the dark elves and lizardmen were fighting above him.
Before leaving the underground world last time, Han Shuo had learned from the lizardmen leader the location of the central region of the lizardmen's territory. He also had a way to directly communicate with the lizardmen. When Han Shuo had traveled all the way to the central region, he used the Demonslayer Edge to cut through the hard rocks, directly breaking through a meeting point in the center of the lizardmen's territory.
This was an enormous ring-shaped cave, roughly the size of a basketball court. Bright red sharp rocks hung from the ceiling, as if they would fall at any time. The cave was filled with stone stools. These stools had been ground by the lizardmen and were smooth enough for one to sit on.
At this time, a large group of lizardmen had gathered here. It looked like they were discussing a way to deal with the Dark Elves. When Han Shuo appeared, the head of the lizardmen suddenly became pleasantly surprised. It mumbled something in the lizardmen's language and led the group of lizardmen to kowtow to Han Shuo.
"Emissary of the True God, you must have come to save us. We've been waiting for you for a long time." The leader of the lizardmen respectfully said to Han Shuo in the awkward-sounding common language.
Creasing his brow, Han Shuo said, "The True God must have already left this place. What's going on with those Dark Elves outside? Why would they dare come here?"
"Lord Emissary, not long after the True God left, the entire underground world's Dark Elves unexpectedly stopped their internal strife. They were all subdued by a Dark Elf called Adele. Legend has it that this Dark Elf woman can communicate with the evil goddess they believe in, Rose. She possesses the power of evil, and in a short month, she controlled all the Dark Elves in the underground world.
These past few days, she's led the Dark Elves to attack us lizardmen. However, this woman still doesn't dare to confirm whether our True God has left or not, so she's been probing for a few days without daring to truly attack. But slowly, her attacks are getting stronger and stronger, and we can't hold on much longer. Fortunately, Lord Emissary came. "The lizardmen leader hastily explained to Han Shuo.
The Dark Elf called Adele suddenly appeared after Dagassi left. In a short month, she unified the scattered Dark Elves and became the most frightening force in this layer of the underground world. Han Shuo was a bit surprised as he listened to the lizardmen leader's explanation. He didn't know why this Dark Elf woman had suddenly appeared. It seemed that she also knew a bit about the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi.
Without a doubt, the expert that Han Shuo's consciousness had just sensed in the purple gauze tent should be the Dark Elf called Adele. With the powerful aura that Han Shuo sensed from her body and the strength of the ancient Dark Elves beside her, if it weren't for the existence of the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi, they would have long since broken through this place and enslaved all the lizardmen here.
As for how this Dark Elf woman Adele had appeared, it wasn't something that Han Shuo should be thinking about right now. This time, Han Shuo had come to the underground world to protect the lizardmen according to his promise to Dagassi. Therefore, after the lizardman leader explained the situation, Han Shuo took out all the weapons he'd brought from his space ring without another word, saying, "I've brought these weapons for you. Don't worry, I'll help you fend off the dark elves."
"Thank you, Sir Envoy!" The lizardmen leader kowtowed gratefully.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo didn't say anything else. He watched as the lizardmen leader arranged for people to quickly distribute these weapons and released the twelve recently refined mystical demons. Ten of the mystical demons filled the entire complex cave, while the other two flew out of the reddish-brown mountain and hovered high above, spying on the dark elves' movements from a distance.

In the place where Han Shuo's consciousness had just probed, a handsome young dark elf said, "Matriarch, it's been five days. The lizardmen don't have the power to resist at all. Shouldn't we launch an all-out attack?"
"Wait a little longer. I just sensed a strange aura. This aura was actually trying to probe me, but when I wanted to look at its source, that aura disappeared. This is a little strange." A languid female voice came from within the purple gauze tent. Several "young" dark elves who had lived for several hundred years felt their mouths go dry when they heard this voice, a ball of lust rising in their hearts.
"Matriarch, what is that big lizard? Could it have already left? Otherwise, it would have attacked us long ago." The handsome dark elf gulped and continued to ask respectfully.
"You ask me? Who should I ask? I've just escaped from that damned place just like you guys. Do you think I know everything? However, I've heard legends about it when I was alive. You guys are still a bit young, so your ancestors haven't mentioned it to you. In any case, you just have to remember that it's a very powerful lizard! " The female voice from within the purple gauze tent seemed to have a bit of reproach, but it was just as comfortable and enchanting to the ears.
"Matriarch, I really don't understand. Why didn't it help the lizardmen clear the underground world after breaking the seal at the bottom of the gourd mountain? With such a powerful creature, the lizardmen wouldn't need to spend much effort to uproot us dark elves.
At that time, the few of us were still imprisoned by those old black dragons on the lower level. He shouldn't have had any difficulty conquering this level of the underground world. Why did it take so long? "Another handsome young man asked in confusion.
"Fool, have you been imprisoned for too long? Did you not hear the children's description? That big lizard might not even be able to deal with the dark dragon patriarch on the lower layer. Do you think we can stop it with just the few of us?" The voice on the other side was a little angry, but it soon chuckled and continued, "The reason why that big lizard didn't attack us Dark Elves is definitely not because he is afraid of us. We aren't a match for such a powerful existence like him."
"Then, who is it afraid of?" the male dark elf asked.
"You idiots, it's precisely because your faith in the Goddess isn't pious enough that you can't feel her existence in the depths of your souls even after living for so many years!" The goddess within the purple gauze tent scolded them to their faces. The few old antiques that had lived for hundreds of years were all submissive.
However, after hearing Adele's words, the few old undyings faintly understood the meaning behind her words. It seemed that the powerful lizard was afraid of their believers and not the few dark elves.
"Alright, let's wait a bit longer. The lizardmen that were captured last time said that their true god had already left and would never return here. That's why we're here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to bring you idiots to your deaths. I think that the lizardmen might really have left. Otherwise, they would have killed their way out long ago. "Adele said to the few old fellows from within the purple gauze tent.
At this moment, a dark elf suddenly ran out of the cave. This dark elf wielding a curved bow arrived in front of the purple gauze tent and reported with an astonished expression, "Matriarch, those lizardmen suddenly have a few sharp weapons in their hands. These weapons seem to be tailor-made for the lizardmen. They're very comfortable with them and can easily cut through our bodies. In addition, I don't know why, but a lot of undead creatures have suddenly appeared inside. These undead creatures have blocked the path and are helping the lizardmen defend against my attack. "
Adele's surprised exclamation came from within the purple gauze tent. After a moment of silence, Adele said, "It should be that necromancer named Brian. It can't be wrong. It seems that he was the one who tried to spy on my existence. Sikong, go over there and see if you can find that necromancer and bring him to me."
The dark elf that had been asking questions respectfully nodded his head. He didn't say anything superfluous as he lightly floated into the cave. A blue crystal ball the size of a human head was taken out by the dark elf named Sikong and held between his two hands. As he walked into the cave, the crystal ball slowly absorbed the black silk-like threads that escaped from his palms. These threads slowly floated into the blue crystal ball, forming patterns of the cave.
Strands of faint blue light floated out of the crystal ball like swimming fish, as if they were exploring the intricate and complicated paths within the cave. Gradually, a topographic map of more than half of the cave was drawn within the blue crystal ball.
Han Shuo remained within the central cave of the lizardmen. Through the twelve omnipresent mystical demons, Han Shuo heard the dark elf matriarch Adele reprimanding her subordinates. He roughly understood that they should have been freed from the imprisonment of the dark dragon chieftain in the lower layer. As for how they had escaped, Han Shuo wasn't too clear. However, from Adele's words, these dark elves that had suddenly appeared should have lived for a very long time.
As soon as the dark elf named Sikong entered the cave, a mystical demon had already locked onto him, clearly seeing the movements of the crystal ball in his hand. Han Shuo, who was in the middle of arranging for the lizardmen to assemble suitable troops to resist the dark elves, suddenly opened his mouth and said to the lizardmen leader, "Look after them for a while, I'm going out for a bit!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Han Shuo flew out from the cave. The mystical demons had been floating in the intricate and complicated cave for so long that Han Shuo had long since become familiar with the terrain inside. It didn't take long for him to find the dark elf Sikong who had entered the cave.
"Are you looking for me?" Han Shuo suddenly revealed himself in a remote cave, facing the dark elf Sikong who was holding a crystal ball in his hand.
"Eh? I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to our doorstep. Necromancer, it was you who ruined our plans last time. I didn't expect that you would actually dare to come again this time?" Sikong said with a cheerful smile when he saw Han Shuo take the initiative to appear. He shone the blue crystal ball in his hand in the air.
All of a sudden, the absorption patterns within the crystal ball all burst out from within. The strands of blue lines crisscrossed, quickly forming a huge net that rapidly spread throughout the entire cave. Among them, a few dozen strands completely entangled Han Shuo.
"Haha, a mere little necromancer actually dares to ruin the plans of us noble dark elves. You must be tired of living!" Sikong confidently said to Han Shuo, who was trapped in the blue spider web. After chanting an incantation, the crystal ball that had released thousands of strands of blue strands slowly floated out of the cave along with him.
Han Shuo, who was wrapped up in the blue spiderweb, felt not only the bondage on his physical body, but also wisps of energy that weakened the mental strength within his body. Although this dark elf named Sikong looked young and handsome, he had lived for who knew how many years.
Dark elves lived much longer than humans. As long as they weren't killed, living for hundreds of years wouldn't be a problem. Although a dark elf's strength wasn't absolutely measured by age, the majority of old dark elves were much harder to deal with than young dark elves.
Dark elves had a unique advantage when practicing evil magic. In addition, they had a much longer lifespan than humans. Dark elves that had lived for hundreds of years were all dark mages that were very difficult to deal with. In addition, dark elves worshiped the evil goddess Rose and also possessed a portion of strange powers. Therefore, they were generally not easy to deal with.
Looking at this confident old dark elf, Han Shuo didn't have a trace of panic in his expression even though he was wrapped in the blue spider web. When Sikong said those words, intending to bring Han Shuo out of the cave, Han Shuo grinned at Sikong, revealing a strange smile. Afterwards, Han Shuo let out a shrill howl and a bloody aura burst forth from his body. The Demonslayer Edge was like a swimming dragon, dragging a bloody red trail of light behind it as it completely cut apart the blue spider web that had entangled his body.
The old dark elf named Sikong immediately panicked when he saw Han Shuo suddenly erupt with a murderous aura and instantly cut apart his blue spider web. When Han Shuo stared at him with a strange smile, Sikong quickly weighed the situation and suddenly discovered that he had no confidence in dealing with Han Shuo. The aura on Han Shuo's body caused him to tremble with fear. He immediately turned tail and ran without another word.
