Ankhegs.
It was a large monster that lived in the Underdark.
This creature was huge and looked like an octopus, but in essence, it was a mutated, gigantified insect-type monster.
The Ankhegs had more than 16 tentacles.
However, these tentacles were worlds apart from octopuses and sea monsters.
The Ankhegs' tentacles were very hard, and their tips were spiral shaped. They were the best choice for digging holes in the mountains.
There were not many of them, and they were very lazy.
However, according to the Pearl Tower's research, more than 60% of the caves in the Underdark were not formed naturally. They were the result of the Ankhegs being active in ancient times.
The Ankhegs were very sensitive, and the caves they excavated rarely collapsed.
This was because the Ankhegs chose places with better soil quality.
"I can't believe that even the Ankhegs were tamed by Clark!"
"The Drow and other small creatures do not need the Ankhegs to dig such a large cave. Since they used the Ankhegs, I'm afraid that there are a lot of Swamp Devils in their army!"
"With the addition of some flying underground monsters … it will be very difficult to defend Lion Town."
Ma Wen's expression was solemn.
He looked at the mountains in the distance trembling. Lion Town was awakened from its slumber, and the alarm sounded continuously.
Even though he had warned the Golden Lion a few hours in advance, it was obvious that it did not take Ma Wen's words seriously.
Otherwise, the situation would not be like this.
In the far east, the first ray of sunlight was faintly refracted from the desert.
At this moment, the entire mountain was filled with dark races charging out of the caves dug out by the Ankhegs.
Dark elves, bugbears, gray dwarves, and the gigantic Swamp Devils!
There were even more Kobolds, ordinary goblins, and Gnolls.
The adventurers of Lion Town would probably be scared out of their wits the moment they opened their eyes.
Not only Lion Town, but even the farmers near Lion Town would not be able to escape.
"Let's go!"
Ma Wen shouted in a low voice.
Even though he did not like the scene, he was not a saint.
He could not save everyone.
He had already done what he was supposed to do in this assault.
He could only let nature take its course.
When Hera saw this scene, she was naturally quite frightened.
One had to know that if the Darkness Clan had launched their attack a day earlier, she would have become one of the slaughtered members of Lion Town!
She, who had no combat power at all, would probably be devoured by this group of monsters immediately!
Under Ma Wen's urging, they quickened their pace!
…
On a high mountain to the south of Lion Town, a mysterious woman wearing a cloak was chanting something loudly.
As she chanted, pitch-black clouds gathered from all directions.
Scarlet light shone from the eyes of the monsters around her.
They were very excited!
The harsh environment underground caused them to suffer greatly. They were hungry, they were in pain, they wanted to kill!
There was no need to spur them on. Driven by their instincts, all the monsters swarmed forward!
Since there was no military deployment map, Ms. Tess, who was in charge of the advance of the army, simply did not make more deployment!
In any case, the previous investigation showed that the adventurers and the army in Lion Town were definitely not a match for the dark army.
The underground creatures broke through the weak barrier of Lion Town like a tide.
Anguished wails began to ring out. The smell of blood began to spread!
And in the midst of this chaotic noise, a high-pitched chanting continued to ring out, becoming louder and louder!
It was the cloaked woman!
She opened her hands, facing the sky, and kept praying.
The dark clouds continued to gather, becoming thicker and thicker!
In this land that Fernand recognized as the edge of civilization, the first rays of dawn were blocked by thick dark clouds.
For the next half a month, there would be no sunlight here!
Because this was the divine art that the Darkness Dragon God had bestowed upon her — [Cover the Sky].
…
"It really does cover the sky."
Ma Wen could feel that the sky was constantly darkening. It was already morning, but it was still as dark as night.
This was an extremely large divine art, enough to cover the entire Stony Mountain area.
It was not without reason that the underground creatures dared to attack the surface.
Behind them stood not only the Dark Dragon Clark, but also the Darkness Dragon God!
Ma Wen remembered that during the process of the underground creatures' invasion of the surface, there was a female commander who had a particularly eye-catching performance.
She was the matriarch of the dark elves in the dark army, and her name seemed to be Tess.
And her other identity was even more eye-catching — the Chosen One of the Darkness Dragon God!
Very few dark elves chose to believe in gods other than the Spider Empress, and the narrow-minded Spider Empress would never allow this.
But this dark elf clan seemed to be an exception.
The Spider Empress had tacitly approved of the Darkness Dragon God's actions of stealing believers from her. This was rather strange.
And to Ma Wen, both the Darkness Dragon God and the Spider Empress were very troublesome characters.
Although their divine power was only average, they showed great interest and desire towards Fernand.
And they were very cunning.
They were also the few among the ancient gods who supported attacking the Universe Magic Pool.
"Darkness Dragon God, Spider Empress, God of Plagues … From what I remember, the third generation of ancient gods aren't very good."
Ma Wen inwardly ridiculed.
Behind him, Rui Wen showed signs of being dishonest again. Marvin immediately followed up with a karate chop without the slightest tenderness for the fairer sex, directly knocking her out.
What a joke, now that he was fleeing with Hera, how could he care about Rui Wen?
The reason why he captured Rui Wen was that he would need the dark elves in the future.
On the way to find the Order Fire Seed, he would face some very harsh conditions, and he hoped to find a qualified assistant. At present, Rui Wen had the qualities in this regard.
As for whether she would be willing to cooperate, this was not a problem that Ma Wen needed to solve now!
His current task was to bring Hera and Bab to the City of Hope as soon as possible!
However, what made Ma Wen uneasy was that the Darkness Clan's surprise attack was faster than he had expected.
Lady Tess did not put all her forces into the battle of Lion Town.
She sent many soldiers to bypass Lion Town and go straight to the City of Hope.
These monsters surged from both sides of Lion Town, trampling over the farmlands, and all the farmhouses that Ma Wen had passed were destroyed by them.
"Her goal is to kill everyone!"
"At the same time, cut off any connection between the City of Hope and Lion Town."
"Not good, if we don't hurry, I'm afraid we'll be surrounded."
Ma Wen released a Dark Crow and observed the route of the dark monsters surging over. It was obvious that they had formed an encirclement.
This encirclement was not tight, but once closed, it would form a blockade between Lion Town and Stony Mountain.
No surface creature would be able to pass through the blockade and reach the City of Hope.
Without a doubt, this Chosen of the Dark Dragon God was definitely a genius in commanding!
…
The group quickened their pace.
Hera was very strong. She was panting and sweating all over, but she still followed Ma Wen's footsteps as quickly as possible.
As for Bab, it was very obedient on its mother's back, closing its eyes and not looking at anything.
"Come on."
"We'll be there in a few more miles."
Ma Wen encouraged.
Who knew that at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose behind them!
In the sky, a group of giant bat-like creatures suddenly swooped down!
They were extremely fast and caught up in the blink of an eye.
Two of the bat monsters seemed to see Ma Wen and the others and actually rushed down immediately!
"Death Wing Knights!"
Ma Wen's expression changed abruptly.
"Quickly find a place to hide!"
He shouted at Hera.
Not far away, an abandoned windmill warehouse stood there. Ma Wen immediately pointed in that direction and told them to hide there first!
Each of these bat monsters had the appearance of a giant bat, but unlike a bat, they had a human-like head!
These were the Death Wing Knights unique to the underground world.
Ma Wen did not expect that the Death Wing Knights that did not appear in the trailer would actually appear in the dark race army this time.
History had changed!
This dark race army seemed to be even stronger than in his previous life!
Hera hurriedly carried Bab and rushed toward the windmill.
Ma Wen was just about to follow, but who knew that at this moment, a gust of wind would attack him from behind!
It's those damned bats!
Ma Wen slashed with a backhand.
Raging Flames fiercely chopped at the neck of a Death Wing Knight, directly severing his fragile neck.
These creatures were not strong, but the key was that they had powerful flying abilities.
On average, each Death Wing Knight was around level 13 to 15, and the highest would not exceed grade 3.
But the ability to fly greatly increased the threat they posed.
Ma Wen had just killed one when he felt the weight on his shoulder lighten.
A gust of wind whistled past, and another Death Wing Knight saw the opportunity and snatched Rui Wen away from Ma Wen's shoulder!
"F * ck!"
"Trying to steal my woman …"
Ma Wen was enraged!
This bunch of birdmen, they were so arrogant just because they could fly.
Rui Wen was still of great use to Ma Wen, how could he give her up like this.
His figure was like lightning, activating Demon Restraining Footwork, and in a few steps, he rushed to a farmhouse at the side.
The Death Wing Knight dragged a Dark Elf, and its flying altitude immediately decreased by a lot, and its speed also decreased by a lot.
Burst!
Ma Wen directly jumped high from the roof, and immediately pounced on the Death Wing Knight's wings!
The latter immediately lost its balance, and struggled to fall down.
It could not bear this kind of weight at all!
Ma Wen fiercely grabbed the Death Wing Knight's neck, and forcibly snapped it in midair!
The three people spiraled and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the height was not very high, so Ma Wen controlled his body and caught Rui Wen.
Who knew that at this moment, a scream came from behind him!
That was Hera's voice!
Ma Wen's face turned green.
"Bab!"
