Shadow Valley, within a hidden training base.
Within the dense forest, mobile dummies with stiff movements were moving about.
These mobile dummies were all products of alchemy, used to mimic the movements of a real person.
Their bodies glowed with a green light.
Once an enemy approached and was detected by them, the green light would turn red.
This meant that the mission had failed.
A dark cloud slowly floated over from the sky.
Within the bushes, a small figure accompanied the dark cloud as it floated over and quietly began its operation.
A few minutes later, the dark cloud floated over the forest.
At the exit of the forest, Isabelle's figure slowly appeared.
An instructor was waiting for her at the exit.
He silently calculated the time. Although he had tried his best to hide his shock, his face still revealed it.
16 low-level mobile dummies were all dealt with in 7 minutes without triggering any alarms!
This level of strength was not something a 1st grade little girl should possess, right?
However, he didn't know how many genius assassins he had trained. Although Isabelle's performance was shocking, it wasn't unprecedented.
However, unknown to the instructor, the little girl had been following Ma Wen's instructions and did not use the unique abilities of the Harmon people.
Instead, she relied on her talent in the assassin profession to train.
In fact, the moment she used the unique talent of the Harmon people, she would not even need half a minute to deal with these mobile dummies!
This was the most terrifying aspect of her.
"You have passed the first training phase. If I were to give you a rating, your rating is [Excellent]. "
The instructor said in a deep voice.
Isabelle raised her head. "Why not [Perfect]?"
The corner of the instructor's mouth twitched slightly. "Because in the previous training camp, you've injured too many students with potential. Some of them have even begun to have a shadow over this profession. They might not have the confidence to be an assassin for the rest of their lives."
"This is not my fault." Isabelle said calmly. "They slandered Lord Ma Wen. They said that he is dead and I should kill them."
The instructor frowned. The little girl's tone was calm, but it gave him a strong sense of pressure.
If it wasn't for the extremely strict orders from above, he would definitely teach this little girl who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth a lesson.
Unfortunately, all of this could only exist in his mind.
The little girl had a great background. It was said that she had a close relationship with the popular Viscount Ma Wen.
"Alright. That matter ends here. "
"No matter what, you are all Assassin apprentices from the same batch. You need to help each other."
"Go find Lamar. He has something for you. It's said that it's from Viscount Ma Wen."
Isabelle's eyes lit up.
"Is it a gift from Lord Ma Wen?"
…
In the dark cave, Ma Wen carefully moved forward.
After the initial excitement passed, Ma Wen's state of mind began to calm down.
He knew that he had to be patient.
He was actually a person who liked to take risks. For many people, darkness represented fear. However, for Ma Wen, darkness represented endless possibilities.
In his previous life, he had ventured into the Underground City many times, but most of the time, he was alone.
He enjoyed the feeling of being alone.
The dangerous underground world could also give him more excitement.
There were dangers everywhere.
You had to be careful, or you would die if you weren't careful.
In less than half a day, Ma Wen had already avoided a mushroom-man tribe, a road demon, and a man-eating flower!
This was all thanks to the talent of the Nightwalker.
Dark Vision allowed him to be like a fish in water in the underground world, which was more reliable than the infrared vision of the drow.
The mushroom-man tribe could not be underestimated. These little guys quarreled endlessly. Although their combat power was average, it could easily attract other nearby monsters.
The road demon and the man-eating flower were both very terrifying creatures.
The road demon liked to disguise as a flat road. When you inadvertently stepped on it, you would find that you had guessed into the mouth of a demon!
The same applied to the underground man-eating flower.
These creatures were extremely terrifying, and Ma Wen would not take the initiative to provoke them. After all, he was not here to explore the underground. His destination was the Stony Mountain.
Even with a good guide, it would take at least a month to cross the Sage Desert and arrive at the Stony Mountain.
On the other hand, the path Marvin had chosen would greatly shorten the time required.
Of course, it would also be much more dangerous.
The main theme of the underworld was always the survival of the fittest.
But the good news was that although the path he chose was underground, it was actually quite far from the real underground world.
The underground river was actually just a straight line across the Sage Desert.
In general, it was still safe. As long as he stayed alert.
…
Ma Wen walked for about six hours along the dark path before he finally heard the sound of water.
He followed the route in his memory and passed through small caves.
In the process, he accidentally disturbed the foraging of a poisonous lizard. In the face of the latter's retaliation, Ma Wen could only swing his sword to meet it.
Half a minute later, Ma Wen killed the poisonous lizard with his exquisite sword skills, and the latter's venom did not splash on Ma Wen at all.
This was the benefit of rich combat experience.
Of course, it also had to do with his super high Dexterity and Demon Restraining Footwork.
After killing the poisonous lizard, Ma Wen finally arrived at the side of the underground river.
The underground river was actually very narrow, and the water was rapid. Rather than calling it a river, it was more like a stream.
It was also because of this that it was safe.
If it was a real large underground river, there might be terrifying [Bottom Demon Fish] or other large underwater monsters hidden inside.
These monsters were not what Ma Wen wanted to encounter right now. They were often very difficult to deal with because they were natural predators. When they launched a surprise attack, even the warning ability of a nightwalker or a ranger might not be able to deal with it.
Ma Wen successfully arrived at the river.
For the next week, he would have to accompany this small river. It was a rather boring period of time.
But it was still more convenient than crossing the desert on foot.
He took out a small golden bull from the void conch and chanted the incantation.
In a flash, the golden bull suddenly became a little bigger, almost the shape of a canoe.
This was the Taurus Bull that Marvin had obtained from the underground granary. He had asked the Nameless Alchemist to enchant it with the Shrinking and Magnifying spells. Originally, he wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect this guy to actually make it.
And it was a classic enchantment that could be used multiple times.
The golden bull's stomach was already empty, so Ma Wen simply used it as a means of transportation. At least it was very useful when crossing the river.
Gently pushing the golden bull into the water, Ma Wen jumped up!
The cold water came head-on. Under the acceleration of the current, the Taurus canoe produced by the Twin Serpent Sect quickly sneaked and rushed far away in the blink of an eye!
…
The golden bull kept moving forward in the underground river. Ma Wen also kept his attention.
When he was tired, he would use the Wishful Rope to hook a stone, find a hidden place to rest, and sleep.
When he was hungry or thirsty, he would eat some dry food and drink some water.
Ma Wen hadn't experienced such days for a long time.
He missed this kind of solo adventure. Although it was boring, it made people more awake.
Although there were no large monsters in the underground river, there were still many small monsters.
Fortunately, the current was fast. Most of the time, Ma Wen whistled past them and they didn't have time to react.
The only trouble that Ma Wen encountered was a Green Legged Dragon Snake drinking water by the river.
This guy directly stopped Ma Wen's golden bull.
Ma Wen originally thought that it would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect this guy to hesitate and let him go.
It spoke in the common language of the underground, but before Marvin could understand it, he was swept away by the river with the golden bull.
But according to Ma Wen's judgment, this guy most likely let him go because of his title as a Dragon Slayer.
Everyone knew that the Green Legged Dragon Snake hated dragons, and Ma Wen had the aura of a dead dragon.
It probably believed that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so it didn't make things difficult for Ma Wen.
Of course, Ma Wen thought that the most important reason was the two or three meat lizard corpses lying next to him.
Under the premise of having enough food, it was obviously unwise to rashly start a war with an enemy whose strength was unknown.
Ma Wen was lucky enough to avoid another battle.
The Green Legged Dragon Snake was a very troublesome creature. Their skin was hard, and unless Ma Wen transformed into an Anzura Brown Bear, it would be difficult to hurt them.
Underground, the Anzura Brown Bear's combat power would be greatly limited.
…
In short, after almost a week of trepidation but no mishaps, Marvin successfully landed on a riverbank.
He put away the golden bull and walked for the rest of the journey.
This place was very close to the Stony Mountain. Even if it was an underground kingdom, it was still at the edge of the wilderness. There were often wild mutants, so he had to be careful.
The hot spring that Ma Wen planned was also nearby.
This hot spring had a magical effect that could greatly improve a person's physique. Ma Wen knew that the effect was due to the Earth Crystal fragment at the bottom of the hot spring.
According to the results of Ma Wen's experiments in his previous life, after a person soaked in this hot spring for a period of time, their physique would randomly increase by one or two points.
This was a very rare benefit.
The only pity was that this hot spring was not without an owner.
There was a family of Claw Terror living near the hot spring, and their leader, the female Claw Terror, was a mutant and elite monster.
In his previous life, Ma Wen fought with her using his wits and courage, and it took him a long time to defeat her.
But this time, he came prepared, so it should be a lot easier.
He silently estimated the distance, and his Listen skill had already been activated at all times.
At this moment, a soft but piercing sound entered Ma Wen's ears!
