Looking at the tunnels in front of him, Ouyang Shuo asked, "Which one?"
"There."
The lovelorn bandit commander pointed to a tunnel in the west.
The players of the Breeze Pavilion hadn't forgotten their crushing defeat in Dali. They naturally held a grudge against the Xiao alliance that guarded Dali's satellite city. They were still looking forward to a battle in the underground world.
Ouyang Shuo didn't expose them.
The tunnels were winding and undulating. The highest parts were four to five meters high, and the lowest parts had to be bent down to pass. The width of the tunnels was different, and the light wasn't strong. It was easy to panic.
Although the open space was the monster area, it didn't mean there were no monsters in the tunnels.
Along the way, they encountered large bats from time to time. There were also rats moving on the ground. These small animals weren't small at all. They were as big as puppies and extremely fierce. They had sharp fangs and red eyes.
These guys hid in the darkness and didn't know when to launch a sneak attack. Experts like Ouyang Shuo were fine, but the soldiers of the Divine Martial Guard suffered.
They were used to fighting on the battlefield, but they lacked experience in dealing with these troubles. Fortunately, the Divine Martial Guard was strong and well-equipped. Although they were a bit embarrassed, there were no casualties.
Xu Chu frowned when he saw this.
The Divine Martial Guard was the personal guard of the emperor. They were the special forces of the special forces. They shouldn't only know how to fight on the battlefield. They should be used to fighting in any form and in any environment.
Not to mention such a small animal, even if it was facing a divine beast or a ghost, it should still be calm and composed.
"After coming down, I have to carry out special training for the Divine Martial Guard," Xu Chu thought.
After Wang Feng resigned as the commander of the Divine Martial Guard, Xu Chu had been leading the Divine Martial Guard. Looking at the situation, Ouyang Shuo didn't have any intention of appointing a new commander.
After walking for about an hour, there was a burst of light in front of them. They had reached another open space. However, this open space had been cleared by the Blood Shadow Alliance, so there weren't any strong monsters.
Ouyang Shuo didn't stop and ordered them to continue exploring.
The Divine Martial Guard carried a large number of military rations. They didn't need to return to resupply, so they could use this opportunity to gain experience. How could Ouyang Shuo not notice the problem that Xu Chu saw?
They walked and stopped. By the afternoon, they had passed three open spaces. The terrain of each clearing was different. There were forests, grasslands, deserts, and swamps.
Fortunately, this was a game, and all the rules were decided by Gaia. They could design the game however they wanted. In reality, it was impossible to have such an Underworld that violated the laws of nature.
Just when Ouyang Shuo's group was about to arrive at an empty space, the sounds of intense battle suddenly came from ahead.
"Are there any other players here?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
The previous empty space was the unexplored area of the [Blood Shadow Alliance], and there shouldn't be any fights.
"This shouldn't be the case." The Bandit Marshal was also puzzled. He said, "Alliance Master has already given the order. In order to protect the Lord's safety, the entire west side has been temporarily cleared. I'll go take a look and see who has the gall to commit such a crime. Does he not want to stay in Satellite Town anymore?! "
Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo frowned slightly. It was not that he was disgusted by the actions of the [Blood Shadow Alliance]. After all, the [Bright Moon Illuminates the River] was out of consideration for his safety. It was understandable that they had different standpoints.
What he was disgusted with was the arrogance that the members of the [Blood Shadow Alliance] unknowingly revealed. It had only been a few days, but they were already so arrogant. This was not a good sign.
However, this person was not his subordinate, so Ouyang Shuo could not say anything.
After a while, the Bandit Marshal returned with a faint look of excitement. He said, "Lord, it's not players. It's a pack of gray wolves attacking a group of NPCs."
Gray wolves were a type of Gold-ranked monster that was commonly seen in the Underworld. As they lived in packs, they had great destructive power. Even an elite team would have to be careful when dealing with them.
The wolf king of the wolf pack was at least a Dark Gold-ranked monster, or even a high-level spirit beast. It was extremely ferocious.
The Underworld did not only have wild monsters. There were various signs that indicated that there were humans living in the Underworld. According to Gaia's settings, these races hid in the Underworld to live, either because they were avoiding goods, or because of natural disasters, or purely by coincidence. They multiplied and took root in the Underworld for generations.
To be able to encounter NPCs meant that there was a high chance of receiving a mission. It was no wonder that the Bandit Marshal was excited.
Ouyang Shuo's expression changed. He said, "Let's go take a look!"
After passing through the tunnel, the area before them suddenly opened up.
The open space here was a hilly landscape. Further away, there was a small river meandering through it. As such, this place was not as barren as other places. It was actually lush with rarely seen water plants. It was no wonder there were wolf packs around.
However, due to the lack of light, the weeds were not verdant. Instead, they appeared to be a deep dark green.
On a small hill in the middle of the hill stood a group of aborigines dressed in hemp clothes. They held simple weapons in their hands. There were about eleven or twelve of them, and all of them were wounded.
These aborigines were clearly different from the aboveground residents. They were generally thinner and their skin was gray in color. The most eye-catching thing was that they had tattoos of a bear's head on their chests. They looked ferocious and domineering.
At a glance, there was a hint of savagery.
The interest in Ouyang Shuo's eyes intensified. He gestured for the Divine Guards to kill those gray wolves.
Upon receiving the order, the Divine Guards took out their God's Crossbows and quickly got into formation. It was a volley of shots. The gray wolves were also ferocious. They did not immediately die under such a powerful crossbow attack.
Under the command of the Wolf King, the gray wolves abandoned the aborigines on the small hill and pounced at the Divine Guards.
The Divine Guards were not afraid. After another volley of shots, they took out their Tang sabers and prepared to fight the gray wolves in close combat. Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo's fighting spirit was aroused. He took out his Demonic Spear and charged forward.
Seeing this, Xu Chu quickly followed with his personal guards.
As the scale of the army expanded, Ouyang Shuo rarely had the chance to personally go to the battlefield. The demonic bloodline in his body was slightly restless, revealing a thirst for blood.
Ouyang Shuo took advantage of the situation and charged into the wolf pack with his Demonic Spear. He was invincible. Although he did not go to the battlefield, his martial arts skills had never fallen behind.
Together with Xu Chu, a killing god, he set off a monstrous massacre in the wolf pack. Seeing this, the Bandit Marshal and the other members of the Blood Shadow Alliance could not help.
The Bandit Marshal turned his head and said, "I've long heard that the Lord's martial strength can be ranked in the top three even among the adventurer players. I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that it is true. "
"I'm afraid the wolf pack in front of us will not be able to force the Lord to use his true strength."
"Fierce!"
The team members all sighed with emotion. This was what they were playing.
While they were talking, the wolf pack had already suffered heavy casualties. Seeing this, the Wolf King in the distance decisively ordered to retreat. Wolves were very cunning animals and would not fight to the end.
Ouyang Shuo put away his Demonic Spear and looked at the mountain not far away.
The group of people were also tactful. Two people came down. The leader was a middle-aged man. Seeing the equipment of the Divine Martial Guards, a trace of reverence appeared in his eyes. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, Lord."
Ouyang Shuo smiled and waved his hand. "Let's go see the wounded first!" He saw a man lying on the mountain top. He seemed to have been seriously injured.
When they reached the mountain top, they saw the man lying on the ground with a pale face. He was not far from death.
Although the surrounding natives were all injured, they did not care about their injuries at all. They surrounded the man with anxious expressions. This man must be a very core member of their team.
Ouyang Shuo frowned. He took out a medicinal pill from his storage pouch and fed it to the man. This medicinal pill was made by Bian Que. It could save a life at a critical moment.
Sure enough, after taking the medicinal pill, the man's complexion obviously improved. His breathing also became calm.
Seeing this, the surrounding natives were in an uproar.
Ouyang Shuo's expression was not relaxed. Just now, he had already sensed that this injured man was not a brute. There was True Qi circulating in his body.
Moreover, this aura was very familiar to Ouyang Shuo.
"Help him sit properly!" Ouyang Shuo ordered.
Seeing this, the natives did not dare to be negligent. They carefully helped the injured man up.
Ouyang Shuo sat cross-legged. He pushed his palms forward and pressed them on the injured man's back. The golden True Qi in his body surged. He separated a small amount and slowly moved it through his palms into the injured man's meridians.
As soon as it came into contact with the injured man, the golden True Qi became excited.
Ouyang Shuo's heart thumped. This confirmed his previous guess. This injured man's cultivation technique was actually the same as the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor.
He became more and more curious about the origin of this group of natives.
Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo would not have wasted his precious True Qi on an NPC.
Under Ouyang Shuo's treatment, the almost exhausted True Qi in the injured man's body slowly flowed and began to repair itself. Finally, the man was pulled back from the brink of death.
If he wanted to fully recover, he would have to slowly adjust his breathing and recuperate.
After a while, the injured man woke up. When he saw Ouyang Shuo, he cupped his hands in gratitude. His eyes were filled with bewilderment. He muttered, "Emperor."
"What?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
The man clenched his teeth and asked, "May I ask benefactor, are you cultivating the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor?"
"That's right!"
The man became even more excited when he got a definite answer. He was not the only one. The surrounding natives also looked at Ouyang Shuo. The previous vigilance in their eyes was gone. They became incomparably respectful.
Ouyang Shuo asked tentatively, "Are you the descendants of the Yellow Emperor?"
"Yes!"
"Then, why did you appear underground?"
The man sighed. With a complicated expression, he said, "It's a long story. Would benefactor be willing to come to my place for a chat?"
Ouyang Shuo was exactly what he was looking for. He said, "Then, I'll have to trouble you!"
The man was overjoyed. He ordered his men to pack up the prey and prepare to set out.
When Ouyang Shuo saw this, he asked the Divine Martial Guards to help him collect the corpses of the Gray Wolves. This could be considered a greeting gift to the man's tribe.
Under the natives' lead, the group passed through one tunnel after another. After walking for three hours, they finally arrived at a heavily guarded clearing.
Of course, there was not much difference between night and day in the Underground World.
The clearing here was even more vast. One could not see the end of it. If it were placed on the surface, it would be a proper basin. There were valleys, grasslands, fields, streams, and even forests.
It was no wonder that this group of natives had built their tribe here. It was indeed a rare place with good Feng Shui.
