The cave in the ranch was the real entrance to the underground world. It was only here that one could touch the door to the underground world.
Standing at the bottom of the cave and looking up, one would find that the crack above had become smaller than the tip of a needle. This place was already thousands of meters underground.
"I think you should replace the torches on both sides of the road with magic crystal lamps. At least, you don't have to change the torches often. It also saves a lot of manpower. Am I right, big brother?"
As soon as Tang En lifted Brian's Silence Spell, Brian, who had been holding it in all the way, exploded.
"Shut up. If you replace the torches with magic crystal lamps today, these adventurers will pull out all the torches tomorrow. Do you believe it or not?"
"That's a problem … Also, I say, isn't this road too long? I think we can set up a rope at a distance and then slide down … Eh? What's that sound? "
Brian suddenly heard an excited voice coming from afar, and it was rapidly approaching them. He looked in the direction of the voice. After a while, Brian widened his eyes in astonishment. "Big brother, what's going on?"
A person was sitting comfortably in an arc-shaped slide. He slid down quickly from the top and then slowed down in an arc. After a period of buffering, he left the slide and stood firmly on the ground. He handed the cushion under his butt to the person next to him.
After a while, another person came down from the slide.
Fiona, Elsa, and the others also noticed the situation over there. They all looked at Twain in unison when they heard that.
"As you can see," Tang En shrugged. "A fast slide costs one gold coin per person. According to Gus, it's quite popular."
Before Tang En built the walkway on the cliff, he considered the possibility of using a rope to slide down the cliff. In the end, he dismissed the idea because the distance was too long and it was too troublesome to build a cableway on the cliff. He simply used earth magic to create a zigzag path. Of course, it did not take him long.
After sculpting the cliff road, he suddenly had an inspiration. He thought of the marble slides in the scenic mountains on Earth, so he made another slide on a whim. It had to be said that the slide made by magic was very smooth, and it was eight thousand meters long from the top to the bottom. It completely satisfied the thrill-seeking mentality of people.
Then Tang En took it out as a charging service. Want to get to the underground world faster? Want to feel the feeling of flying down 8,000 meters? Then come take the Haerzom slide! One gold coin each time, fair and square! Note: Restricted to races of standard body size.
Brian's eyes widened. "Since there's such a convenient way, why do we have to walk?"
"This is training …"
Tang En said earnestly. "A journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step. If you always think about the convenience and comfort of solving problems every day without suffering, how can you become a great warrior?"
Depp nodded in agreement.
Brian was particularly unwilling to give up as he looked at the hanging basket in the distance. His curiosity was like a kitten clawing at his heart. He always wanted to try new things.
"Alright, alright. You can come and play when you're free. We don't have time for you to waste."
Tang En looked at the lively crowd in front of him and said thoughtfully, "This place is more lively than I thought."
Indeed, just as he said, the feces in the pasture cave had been burned and cleaned up by him. The large space had been flattened. At this moment, there were more adventurers gathered here than in the town above. They gathered in groups of three to five, and the ground was covered with blankets. On top of the blankets, there were spoils of war from their exploration of the underground world, such as ores, magical plants, magical beast bones, sharp claws, and so on …
This place had become an underground market.
What made Tang En and the others the most curious was that each of them seemed to have a kind of crystal in their hands that could emit light. It was not a magic crystal lamp, nor was it a magic crystal. Although the soft light was not very strong, in such a dark place, it was enough to replace a torch to illuminate the surroundings.
It also seemed that the crystal was very durable.
"Hey! Sir, what have you taken a fancy to? "
The adventurer noticed Tang En's gaze. He noticed the orderly formation of warriors behind Tang En. His eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of Tang En as a noble who had come to explore this place. He said enthusiastically, "I can give you a good discount! After all, it takes a lot of time to climb up, and it's too expensive to take the cable car. If you're willing to buy all of it, I can even give you a 20% discount! "
Tang En asked with great interest, "What is this crystal beside you that is used for illumination? How much is it? "
The adventurer rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Sir, is this your first time here?"
Tang En nodded.
"That's right. This place has only appeared for more than half a month. Other than us … Ah, I'm digressing."
The adventurer coughed and solemnly held up the glowing crystal. He said, "This thing is a treasure. If the team can't find a magician who can illuminate, this is an essential item in the underground world. It's more convenient and durable than a torch, and it won't attract the attention of underground magical beasts because it's too hot …"
Tang En waved his hand. "How much is it?"
The adventurer's eyes lit up, and he said straightforwardly, "… Fifty … No, one hundred gold coins! As long as you pay one hundred gold coins, this' light crystal 'will belong to you! "
Seeing him like this, how could Tang En not guess that he was asking for an exorbitant price? Furthermore, looking at the price he was asking for, as well as the fact that everyone around him had one, Tang En was almost certain that this thing was not something rare in the underground world.
Tang En smiled and turned to leave.
"Hey, don't go! Let's talk nicely! I got it, I got it! Eighty gold coins! Is eighty not enough!? Seventy — — Only seventy — — Sixty, ah no, fifty! Only fifty gold coins! "
An adventurer on the side laughed in schadenfreude. "Ha, ha, ha, are you stupid? It's just a light crystal, and you actually dare to ask for one hundred gold coins? "
That guy regretted it. "Damn, if I knew earlier, I would have asked for less from the start."
"Who told you to be greedy? I didn't say anything just now, so don't throw dirty water at me."
Here, it had become a trend for the old to cheat the newcomers. If one didn't keep their eyes open, it was easy to be cheated by these old foxes and lose everything. But this was also a kind of experience that one needed to grow up …
"Light crystal!"
Fiona clenched her fists. Before entering the underground world, they had already found a resource with potential. This made her more confident in this special operation.
"It's a pretty good mineral."
Tang En said with a nod, "It seems to be a Magic Crystal Ore that is formed in a rich elemental environment. The magic absorbed inside resonates with the elemental energy, but the reaction is very weak, so it emits a gentle glow. In theory, it can increase the brightness by stimulating the resonance reaction."
Fiona's eyes lit up, "Really!?"
"Yes."
Tang En nodded with certainty. He had just used his magic to examine the light crystal and he was certain that it was a Magic Crystal Ore.
The appearance of this light crystal had indeed attracted Tang En's interest. If this thing was common in the underground world, then there was no need to worry about Ellington's night lighting problem. Although the elves' fluorescent grass was very beautiful, it was still a bit lacking when used for lighting.
"Let's keep going."
Tang En waved his hand and the team passed through the lively underground market, entering the cave in front of them.
The number of people here was much fewer than before, and most of them went out. Tang En and his team were the only ones who entered the underground world.
"Make way, make way, make way!"
At this time, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps in front of them.
Vanilla slightly knit his brows, "There's the smell of blood."
As soon as her voice fell, she saw a group of people carrying a few wounded people out. The wounded people on the simple stretchers had deep wounds that exposed their bones and the bandages that were hurriedly wrapped were already dyed red with blood. Those who were still groaning in pain were considered to be in a good state, but there were a few who had already fainted.
Elijah saw such a bloody scene and was scared into Tang En's arms, not daring to look outside.
"Sir Lord … …"
Fiona's face was a bit pale and she subconsciously approached Tang En. Thinking of Tang En's powerful strength, she was a bit relieved.
What they had just seen was a peaceful scene, but it made Fiona and the others forget that there was an unfamiliar underground world in front of them. Although it was full of opportunities and wealth, it was never a paradise, but a place full of danger.
Tang En slightly knit his brows, his attention was still on the wounds he had just seen. Those wounds did not look like they were caused by ordinary magical beasts … …
Noticing Fiona's gaze, he came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, I will protect you. Let's go."
Hearing Tang En's words, her fear instantly left her. Fiona, who was uneasy, only felt warmth in her heart. The dark cave seemed to have become a grassland with the sun shining high in the sky. Even the air was filled with the smell of happiness.
Elsa, who was next to her, pouted and sulked. She also wanted someone to protect her. Why was she not the heroine in the knight novels?
After thinking for a while, Elsa lowered her head and looked at her fist. She suddenly had the urge to cry.
No matter how she thought about it, she was not the heroine because of her strange strength.
With her strength, even if there was a knight, he would not dare to protect her … …
It was more appropriate for her to protect the knight … …
