"Sir, don't go near the forest." Ayton stepped forward and said, "In the Underdark, this kind of forest is the territory of many powerful creatures."
"In the Underdark, many monsters will hide around the fluorescent mushrooms. When the fluorescent mushrooms emit light to attract other animals, they will launch a surprise attack. And many of these fluorescent mushrooms are poisonous. "
Suhlen didn't speak. He reached out and caught a fluorescent spore. The fluorescent spore didn't have any abnormalities when it fell on his hand. Suhlen blew gently and the spore flew into the air again.
"Let's go around it." Suhlen wasn't a stubborn person. He didn't force himself to be reckless in this forest that hid unknown dangers. Who knows what was hidden in it. Although he was very strong now, there were still many unexpected dangers in this world.
They went around the cave along the rock wall. There was no movement in the Gloomy Forest, only the fluorescent spores floating in the sky. The entire Gloomy Forest emitted a faint light and looked very beautiful.
Just when the two went around to the other side of the forest, Suhlen suddenly found that under the giant mushrooms and mushrooms, there were many small mushrooms and mushrooms growing. When he looked carefully, he found that the small mushrooms were not soil or wood, but rotten corpses and other animals.
An underground salamander corpse that died not long ago had not yet rotted, but the surface of the corpse was covered with a large number of hatched spores. Dense small mushrooms had grown out of its body, making one's scalp tingle.
"Those are parasitic mushrooms. They parasitize dead animals or human bodies and rely on flesh and blood to grow. Although the planting method is very bloody, they are the main material of healing potions and antidotes."
Noticing Suhlen's gaze, Ayton explained. "Those next to them are hallucinogenic mushrooms. They emit some gas that can cause hallucinations and are often used by some predators to hunt other creatures."
"The scientific name of those vines is Devil's Vines. Normally, they are motionless like ordinary plants. Only when other creatures approach them will they suddenly entangle them. Their vines have a large number of barbs. When they entangle their prey, they will directly pierce into their prey's body and inject a large amount of anesthetic into their prey's body. When the prey loses the ability to resist, they will inject another type of digestive toxin. The flesh and organs of the prey will melt into a pool of liquid in a very short time."
Following Ayton's introduction, Suhlen gained a preliminary understanding of the dangers of these forests. As expected of a Level 12 Adventure Region, even a random forest was so dangerous.
The underground world was very rich in mineral resources. The various metal ores and gemstones were several times or even dozens of times more than the surface world. Otherwise, the Dwarf Kingdom wouldn't have dug down without a care and eventually dug out the sleeping Ancient Flame Demon.
Those greedy Dwarven Kingdoms were ultimately destroyed by the Ancient Flame Demons. They could only go to other regions to build new kingdoms.
In addition to these resources, there were also many dragons in the underground world. The common Red Dragons, Shadow Dragons, White Dragons, and so on appeared. It was said that a certain Drow family captured an adult Red Dragon and then used transfiguration to turn the Red Dragon into a human form.
These Drows prepared a large number of aphrodisiacs and force-fed them to the Red Dragon. Then, they let him have a long-term friendly exchange with the female Drows in the family. A group of female Drows lined up to take his sperm.
Since then, a large number of Dragon Disciples and Dragon Descendant Drows appeared in this Drow family. By the way, this family also produced Dragon's Blood Potion, which could be used for a Dragon's Blood Baptism.
The Dragon's Blood Baptism required the use of Dragon's Blood in conjunction with some magic circles to perform a ritual to strengthen one's physical fitness. This ritual could be stacked. It was said that after stacking to the fifth layer, the skin smeared with Dragon's Blood would become as hard as iron. Many nobles were crazy about this ritual.
However, later on, the Red Dragon broke free from its shackles and escaped. The angry Red Dragon directly massacred this Drow family.
After bypassing this dangerous forest, the two continued to move forward. After passing through two more underground caves, Ayton finally found some traces of human-like creatures.
"It should be Kobolds." The signs of Kobolds' activities were too obvious. These human-like creatures were dirty and smelly. These Kobolds liked the feces of dragons very much.
"My Lord, do you want to catch some tongues?" Ayton asked eagerly.
Suhlen nodded. "Go ahead. Let's get it done quickly."
This kind of thing was not difficult for Ayton. Not long after, Ayton returned with a few Kobolds.
These Kobolds from the Underground World in front of them were very similar to their cousins, Kobolds. They were stooped, exuded a foul smell, and looked panicked.
Ayton tied three Kobolds with a rope and then pulled back hard. The three Kobolds fell directly to the ground like gourds.
"My Lord has already interrogated them." Ayton said, "In addition to the Kobold tribe, there are also a Gray Dwarf tribe and a Goblin tribe nearby. They have not been to places further away."
"I beg you, please let us go! We are just a bunch of pitiful Kobolds! We won't affect you at all. We can exchange our treasures for our freedom! "one of the Kobolds said fearfully.
Treasures?
Suhlen's eyes lit up. Kobolds liked to mine. Many dragons also liked to enslave Kobolds to mine for them. Moreover, this was the Underground World, which was famous for its rich mineral resources. These Kobolds might have dug up a lot of gold, gems, and other treasures.
"Gold, gems, mountains of gold!" The Kobold hurriedly gestured, afraid that Suhlen would take his life if he spoke too slowly. It seemed that Ayton had just taught them a lesson.
"Is this the gold that your tribe mined?" Suhlen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, yes." The Kobold nodded.
Suhlen nodded and did not say anything. Gold and gems were hard currency. Since they came across them, they would naturally not let them go. However, Suhlen did not really believe the Kobold's words.
"Let's go and take a look," Suhlen said to Ayton. Ayton nodded and let the three Kobolds lead the way. The Kobold's camp was not far from here. After passing through a tunnel, they arrived.
Suhlen looked from afar. There were many Kobolds in this tribe. As a very weak creature, if they did not have a strong reproductive ability, they would have gone extinct long ago. Perhaps only the Goblins could be compared to them.
Kobolds were oviparous, and there could be five or six of them left in a litter. Kobolds knew something from birth. Some wizards said that it had something to do with their so-called dragon bloodline. After all, dragons were born with inherited memories. Of course, this was also one of the reasons why they claimed to be descendants of dragons.
In fact, not many people cared whether they were descendants of dragons or not. Some wizards even tried to capture a large number of kobolds and extract their blood to obtain the dragon's bloodline. However, what made him depressed was that he had extracted the blood of more than a thousand kobolds and purified it again and again. Even after purifying the blood to the limit, he still couldn't find where the dragon's bloodline was.
According to his calculations, it would be impossible to obtain the dragon bloodline of the Yaron level without more than a hundred thousand Kobolds. Otherwise, no matter how good the Kobolds were at reproduction, they would all be captured by the wizards and adventurers.
"Are all the Kobolds living in this cave?" Suhlen looked at the tribe in the giant cave and asked Suhlen.
The Kobold tribe in front of them was very large. Suhlen estimated that there were at least a few thousand of them. These Kobolds were scattered into more than ten small tribes.
"Where are the gold and gems?" Suhlen asked.
"In … in the largest tribe."
Suhlen glanced at the largest tribe. It was located in the center of the cave and took up more than a quarter of the area. The other tribes were just surrounding it. It would be troublesome to attack such a large tribe directly. Although he could kill all the Kobolds, it would take a lot of time and effort, so he planned to steal it directly.
He took out a very beautiful octagonal glass lamp from his storage dimension. The glass lamp was crystal clear, and a little flame inside lit up a few meters around it. This was the sky lamp Suhlen had obtained before. Other than lighting, this sky lamp could also hide and anti-hide.
Moreover, this sky lamp could hide a group of people. As long as he had enough energy, he could hide an entire army. Other than being invisible, this lamp was also an anti-hiding weapon. As long as the light of this lamp shone, the invisibility spell would be ineffective.
"Invisibility!"
A spiritual light was released from the sky lamp. Suhlen, Ayton, and the three Kobolds were enveloped in it. In the next second, everyone, including the sky lamp, disappeared.
"Lead the way. Also, don't make a sound. Otherwise … Hmph!" As he spoke, he quickly swung the longsword in his hand and cut a stalagmite beside him. The cut was smooth and flat.
"Yes, yes!" The Kobolds nodded. They covered their mouths tightly with their hands, not daring to make a sound.
Suhlen said softly, "Let's go!"
In front of him, a beautiful glass lamp was floating in mid-air. The glass lamp held up a transparent light barrier, enveloping them. Then, the three Kobolds led the two of them into the Kobold camp.
The Kobold camp was a complete mess. It was dirty and messy. These Kobolds had no sense of hygiene at all. The ground was filled with dirty water, and there were some unknown black objects on the ground that emitted a foul smell. Some underage Kobolds were chasing each other. Occasionally, a group of Kobolds would gather and play some multiplayer games. The scene was too disgusting.
