In the dark tunnel, countless red eyes appeared. They were the eyes of the mutated demon rats. The dense eyes made people shiver.
Soon, the mutated demon rats could not stand it anymore. They rushed towards Suhlen and Li Tianlan. These mutated demon rats were fast, numerous, and could spread the plague. However, they were not powerful. Suhlen was worried that these rats would spread the plague in his territory after they ran out.
In this era, there were almost no medical facilities. Once the plague broke out on a large scale, it would cause a lot of damage. Apart from the plague, these creatures could also spread many other diseases. They were very difficult to deal with. The mutated demon rats swarmed up. Suhlen waved his long sword and cut a mutated demon rat in half.
As soon as the dead mutated demon rat fell to the ground, it was eaten by other mutated demon rats. The rest of the mutated demon rats were not scared at all. Instead, they became even crazier.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
After a commotion, more mutated demon rats rushed up. Facing this situation, other people might be in a hurry. However, Suhlen and Ayton were both very agile and had fast reactions. They had experienced this kind of attack too many times in the two training sessions.
Ayton looked cold, but his movements were not slow at all. He drew a beautiful arc with his machete and cut three mutated demon rats into six pieces. Suhlen's sword shadows were everywhere. All the mutated demon rats within one meter of him were either cut in half or stabbed in the heart. There was no exception.
However, there were too many of these mutated demon rats. After smelling the blood, they became even crazier. They were not afraid of death at all. Suhlen frowned.
Looking at the mutated demon rats that surrounded him, Suhlen's body flashed with lightning. In the next second, a burst of lightning suddenly burst out.
"Thunderstorm!"
With Su Lun as the center, a thunderbolt shot out in front of him. The blue and white lightning was extremely dazzling in the dark passage. The crackling thunder sounded, and the smell of barbecue quickly filled the passage.
"Puff, puff!"
A large number of mutant rats in the tunnel were electrocuted into charcoal, and those that jumped down from the walls were cooked before they even touched the ground. More and more mutated rats were paralyzed by the electric light. Their muscles twitched, and soon, they were dead. The electric light lasted for a while, and then slowly disappeared.
Suhlen didn't use spells. Instead, he relied on his ability to control lightning. The best way to deal with a siege was to use spells. If he used a sword, he would have to fight for a long time. However, an area of effect spell could easily solve the problem.
The lightning dissipated, and the tunnel returned to darkness. The ground under their feet was covered with the corpses of the mutated demon rats. Suhlen did not stay any longer. The smell of the meat would definitely attract the surrounding monsters. He did not want to continue fighting with these monsters.
This passageway should also be a mine, but they did not know who had mined it. There was nothing good here, so the two of them continued deeper into the passageway.
After walking for about half an hour, the narrow passageway finally came to an end. After exiting the passageway, the underground world in front of them was much more spacious. Although there was no sunlight in the underground world, there were many fluorescent plants. The most widespread one was the fluorescent moss.
These fluorescent moss emitted dim light, bringing a trace of light to the dark underground world. With the dots of light, Suhlen could roughly see the space in front of him. This was a huge underground cavern about the size of a stadium. There were jagged rocks of strange shapes inside, and it looked very desolate.
A few underground salamanders were hunting among the rocks. These salamanders were about three meters long, and their bodies were covered with a layer of stone-like scales. They had sharp claws and teeth. In the underground world, they were not very strong creatures. The rocks around them flickered with light. Suhlen used his sharp sword to cut the rock wall a few times, and then checked.
Soon, Suhlen found many ores on the rock wall. There were crystals, silver ores, iron ores, copper ores, and so on. However, they were all scattered and did not have much value. Even so, Suhlen realized that the underground world was indeed rich in mines.
He dug out a few pieces of silver ores. These silver ores should be associated minerals, and their purity was not high. Suhlen dug out a few pieces and gave up. The crystal ores surprised Suhlen. In addition to some white crystals, topaz, and amethyst, Suhlen also dug out some other gems, such as moonstone, fluorite, peacock stone, agate, and topaz.
However, the purity of the gems was average, and the size was not big, so the value was not bad. The most valuable gems were those with high purity. Of course, because of the different colors, the price of the gems was different. The most valuable gems were still rubies, followed by the other gems, diamonds, and emeralds.
The underground world was very vast, and the cavern in front of them was only a small part of it. There were other tunnels that were connected to this cavern. The underground world was formed by these caverns and tunnels. Some caverns could easily accommodate a city of 100,000 people, while others could only accommodate a few people.
Due to the unique structure of the underground world, it was divided into City-States, and each City-State occupied a large area of the cavern.
The two of them searched the cavern and did not find anything valuable. They left and walked towards another tunnel that was connected to this cavern.
This passageway was much wider than the previous one. Other than some fluorescent moss, there were also some mushrooms. There were many types of mushrooms, and they were the most common plants in the underground world. Some mushrooms were edible, while others were highly toxic. Many underground cities would grow large amounts of mushrooms as food.
Some mushroom plants were extremely tall, reaching a height of over ten meters. From afar, they looked like giant umbrellas. Surrounded by many fluorescent plants, they looked very beautiful. However, these beautiful things in the natural world often hid great dangers. The mushroom plants would often be surrounded by other creatures attracted by the mushroom plants.
After passing through the tunnel, Suhlen and Vivian came to another underground cavern. It was different from the barren underground world from before. This cavern had a different kind of scenery.
This cavern was slightly damp, and there was a layer of soil on the ground. In the distance, there was an underground forest with fluorescent mushrooms, vines, and mushrooms growing very luxuriantly. There were many fluorescent mushrooms the size of a fist in the outermost area. In the middle of the forest, there were huge mushrooms that were four to five meters tall. The huge mushrooms were emitting light, and some fluorescent spores were floating in the air. There were even taller mushrooms beside them.
With the help of the dim light of the underground world, Suhlen saw that there were many corpses in the forest that had been dead for a long time. Obviously, this forest was not as beautiful as it looked.
