In the dark underground cave, a figure flashed forward on a winding path.
This was the southernmost region of the Underdark. After passing through the Rosen Fortress group and reaching the southern end, one would arrive at the most remote south of the Underdark World.
The terrain here was more complicated, and the caves were more messy and intricate. There was also no large underground space like in the central region.
Relying on the memories from his previous life and the incomplete map given by Rui Wen, Ma Wen's progress was still very fast.
He could feel that the soil was gradually becoming moist.
Along the way, he encountered a few dark elf warriors, but Ma Wen avoided them.
The greatest advantage of the Nightwalker — Night Vision — was fully displayed. In this world of darkness where one could not even see their own fingers, he was the true king!
Apart from the humanoid creatures, he also killed a few blind monsters along the way.
With Ma Wen's current Legendary strength, even in the entire Underdark, there were only a handful of people who could stop him.
At Level-22, many monsters could not even harm him.
As long as he avoided the strange creatures with divine or legendary templates, Ma Wen was invincible.
Perhaps it was because there were too many underground creatures near the Great Maelstrom, but there were very few people in the south.
Marvin had also passed by a few pits or settlements that were obviously made by tribes, but they were all empty at the moment.
Under the unprecedented pressure of the Dark Wool-ghosts, the survival of the underground race had indeed reached a critical point. This made Ma Wen secretly sigh in his heart.
To the people on the surface, the underground creatures were simply scourges and fierce beasts. Half of the creatures that grew up in the harsh environment of the Underdark were much stronger than their counterparts on the surface. Here, the law of survival of the fittest was displayed more vividly.
But even so, in the face of the Dark Wool-ghosts, a clan that subverted Fernand's understanding of creatures, the underground race was still caught unprepared.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the current Underdark World was greatly weakened. Ma Wen believed that even if they could repel the attack of the Wool-ghosts this time and even kill Hariti, the Underdark World would need a very long time to recuperate.
In this aspect, he was actually similar to Ferdinand.
However, one was the Cataclysm, while the other was the eruption of the Eternally Frozen Spring.
In this era, no matter where you were in the world, you would encounter unprecedented disasters.
This was the true catastrophe.
…
As the soil gradually became moist, Ma Wen moved faster.
Long-distance raids in the underground space were actually very tiring, so at Rui Wen's suggestion, he bought a docile rock lizard from the Rosen Fortress as his mount.
He consumed some Slaughter EXP and quickly maxed out his [Special Ability – Rock Lizard Riding].
In this way, he was no different from an ordinary dark elf warrior.
The Rock Lizard's footsteps were light and silent, but its speed was astonishingly fast. Their limbs and bellies were pressed against the stone walls or the ground, and the sound of friction was minimal.
More importantly, as natives of the underground, even though they had been domesticated, the Rock Lizards had the ability to avoid danger.
Because of this inconspicuous mount, Ma Wen had already avoided quite a few ominous forces.
He didn't come to the southern part of the Underdark to kill. The most important thing was to complete his mission as soon as possible.
As time passed, the constant low caves and hollow airflow would make many people fall into a state of paralysis.
But Ma Wen was always vigilant. He thought about a lot of things, and at the same time, he was constantly calibrating his direction.
In such a place, if he was not careful, he would get lost.
Although he had wandered in the Underdark for a period of time in his previous life, Ma Wen was not a native of the Underdark after all, so he had to be careful in everything.
After spending more than three hours passing through the complex low caves, Ma Wen finally came to a relatively open area.
At this place, the underground space began to tilt downwards.
After crossing a gentle slope covered with moss, an open and endless swamp appeared in Ma Wen's vision.
[Rotten Mushroom Swamp].
In the mouth of the natives of the Underdark, this swamp was known as the Swamp of Death.
Many people who tried to break in turned into ghost flames floating on the swamp.
Ma Wen stared coldly at the depths of the swamp.
On the swamp, duckweed and mud mixed together, and occasionally bubbles would appear. Not far away, there were a few terrifying skeletons.
Green fireflies were faintly discernible.
Even further away, there was a thick fog blocking the way.
The rock lizard under him lifted its leg uneasily, as if it felt something.
"Rotten Mushroom Swamp …"
"Judging from the thickness of the fog, that woman is still living here."
"Hehe … I have found the Defense Spell Scroll of Ghost."
Ma Wen laughed and pulled the rock lizard, but he did not go deeper into the swamp.
They started to head east along the gentle slope. Ma Wen knew that if he went straight into the swamp, he would definitely die!
Because this swamp was a very terrifying maze and trap.
A natural swamp would not be so dangerous. The reason why Rotten Mushroom Swamp was called the Swamp of Death was because there was a snake witch living in the swamp!
She was a witch who betrayed the Anzetland!
From the information obtained in his previous life, the snake witch lost the battle for the Witch King many years ago. In a fit of anger, she betrayed the entire Anzetland and even sold the location of the Anzetland witches' headquarters to the greatest enemy of the Anzetland at that time. As for herself, she ran to the Underdark and hid, concentrating on her expertise in poisons and alchemy.
The Witch King took away her authority over the Supreme Witchcraft Spell, but she still had a very powerful spell ability.
She was a descendant of the devil and had many spell-related abilities. She was also very talented. After hundreds of years, her poisons, alchemy, and spell-casting ability had reached the top level in the entire Underdark.
But she still could not leave this swamp.
This was because after the biggest problem in the Anzetland was solved, the Witch King found her and put a curse on her.
The content of the curse was: she would remain ugly forever, never to see the sun, and anyone who saw her would be disgusted.
The snake witch was very angry, but there was nothing she could do. So she hid in this dark swamp and worked hard to break the curse of the Witch King.
After so many years of hard work, she seemed to have finally achieved a breakthrough.
However, she could not break the curse alone. She needed help from others.
This was a simple introduction of a chain mission.
Ma Wen also saw it on a forum in his previous life.
The latter was showing off that he had obtained the Blade of Sosodom from the Blood Emperor, so he posted the details.
In this life, Ma Wen got lucky.
"If the post is true, there should be a River Styx here."
Ma Wen sat on the rock lizard and headed east. Finally, a meandering river appeared in front of him.
At that moment, he felt the temperature around him drop by more than ten degrees!
