Darkness was the main theme of this world.
But there were many fluorescent plants around, and it was because of the unique moss that the surroundings were not as dark as imagined.
"It seems that traveling is random. This is not the exchange that Erwin described."
"It's not just the environment, even the surrounding structure is different. The area where Erwin is is under the rule of the Dark Elves. It's the same size as a medieval castle. After hundreds of years of development, it's full of giant black trees, and there are also Dark Elves patrolling it daily."
But what about now?
As far as the eye could see, there was not even a short bush, let alone a forest. Desolation and poverty were Chen Feng's first impressions of this place.
All signs indicated that Chen Feng was lost.
"Bad start." Chen Feng shook his head and mocked himself.
Chen Feng only had the ability to open up the Abyss, which did not mean that he could travel through space. Even if it was the ability given by Shadow, it was only a space travel of about a hundred meters. It was obviously a fool's dream to want to reach Erwin's area in an instant.
One thing to remember was.
The Underdark was generally divided into three levels. The Upper Underdark was close to the surface and had large-scale contact with the surface races (trade, attack, conquest). The main inhabitants were Dark Elves, Beholders, Dwarves, Mind Flayers, Gnomes, and Ratmen. Water and food were relatively abundant, and their adaptability to the darkness was relatively weak.
The inhabitants of the Middle Underdark often treated the surface races as slaves. They included the Gnomes and Kuo-toans, and water and food were difficult to find.
The Lower Underdark was incredibly strange, full of strange societies and cultures. It was dominated by Mind Flayers, and was full of hostility to anyone who was different from them. Food and water were very scarce, and these races killed each other for survival. They were extremely adapted to the darkness, and many monsters had new and unique senses. There were evil humanoid creatures on all levels, and they were usually slaves of civilized cities.
Judging from Chen Feng's current environment and vision, this was located in the Upper Underdark. This meant that Chen Feng was not as far away from the Dark Elves as he imagined. Perhaps after walking for a while, he could see the exchange established by Erwin.
Of course, Chen Feng had a faster way, and that was to summon Erwin to lead the way.
But this idea only wandered around in his mind once before it was dispelled by Chen Feng. Compared to the human territory, this was undoubtedly a brand new land.
There were creatures different from humans, and there was also a culture that belonged to this place. Chen Feng's plan was to open a new trade route here, a road to the abyss that could nurture Order, and not just as a tourist, he came here to see his own exchange.......
Therefore, Chen Feng gave up on summoning Erwin. Instead, he used his legs and eyes to experience this new world he had never seen before.
. Chen...............
Worms.
This was the initial state of all Devils. These monsters were born in the blood pool, just like the legends of reincarnation passed down by humans. In the abyss, the souls that were killed would return to the blood pool, and the worms were the lifeforms that were born from those souls.
Most of the worms that survived would evolve into Dretches, a type of small Devil that was cunning by nature.
This was the Underdark. Although there were some Devils here, most of them were dark creatures. Therefore, compared to the densely packed worms in other layers, the worms in front of Chen Feng were like sparrows and could only be regarded as dispensable creatures.
"Pa pa …"
A series of footsteps came from ahead.
Chen Feng dodged, and his figure slowly merged with the surrounding darkness.
— Stealth!
After sacrificing the shadows, Chen Feng not only obtained Space Jump, but he also grasped some abilities such as Stealth and Backstab.
Three Earth Spirit Bugbears appeared in front of Chen Feng.
They were a variant of the Goblins. Evil, greedy, and foolish were their nature. The Earth Spirit Bugbears were tall, strong, ferocious, and more agile than ordinary humans. They were the rulers of goblin-like creatures and were also the strongest. They got their name from their bear-like faces.
They were covered with thick coarse hair, and their color was between brown and brick red. Their eyes were similar to that of beasts, with a red pupil in the center of their greenish-white eyes and a pair of shovel-shaped ears. The Earth Spirit Bugbears' mouths were full of sharp teeth, and their noses were similar to that of bears. Their sense of smell was also as sensitive as bears. Their tough fur and sharp claws were also similar to bears, but their movements were much more agile than bears.
In the Underdark, many poor and low-level Earth Spirit Bugbears sometimes used stone or bone to sharpen their claws. Many high-level Earth Spirit Bugbears, including their leaders, liked to use spiked hammers as weapons. Sometimes, these leaders also mastered the spiked hammers used by humans as weapons.
The Earth Spirit Bugbears only had two goals in life: food and treasures. Prey and intruders were important sources of these two things. These extremely greedy creatures plundered anything that shone, including weapons and armor. They would not miss any opportunity to increase their collection, even if it was by stealing, robbing, or raiding.
The Earth Spirit Bugbears would use any opportunity to ambush their opponents. When hunting, they would usually send several scouts to search in front of the main force. Once they found prey, they would immediately report back and guide reinforcements to attack.
But in front of them, they were only facing a group of fist-sized worms. Therefore, the Earth Spirit Bugbears did not need too complicated a formation. They just swarmed up, grabbed a worm with their bare hands, and then savagely stuffed it into their mouths.
This was a very impactful scene.
Whether it was the ear-piercing chewing sound or the cheeks full of blood, it challenged the endurance of ordinary people.
This was the norm in the Underdark. Just like people picking fruits from trees when they were hungry, in this area abandoned by God, it was normal to bend down and pick up a worm passing by and then swallow it.
The sound of explosions continued.
The appetite of these three Earth Spirit Bugbears was very strong. It was as if they were competing. Accompanied by the sound of explosions, the worms became meat sauce in their mouths.
It was a little disgusting.
But Chen Feng's face was calm and did not seem to be angry because of this.
There was no other sound in the surroundings, which meant that these three Earth Spirit Bugbears were the first intelligent creatures he encountered. Of course, worms were excluded.
Their strength was close to the Bronze Rank.
There were no creatures outside the Bronze Rank in the Abyss. If there was a comparison, the worms under his feet might be the unawakened humans of Order. Once they became Dretches, apart from not having the ability of professions, their strength and speed were comparable to the awakened ones.
There were three of them.
Strength of Bronze Rank.
There were no other enemies nearby.
After making a simple plan, Chen Feng waved his [Stealth] and then appeared in front of the Earth Spirit Bugbears.
The three Earth Spirit Bugbears seemed to have felt something. As soon as they looked up, they saw a cloaked figure standing in front of them.
"Roar!"
The Earth Spirit Bugbears roared and took a few steps back, but they did not go far. Instead, they tilted their heads and observed the enemy's every move.
They were the largest and strongest type of goblin-like creatures. Their offensive power was also much stronger than other creatures of the same kind. The Earth Spirit Bugbears hunted any creatures weaker than themselves for a living.
Chen Feng did not deliberately disperse the power he controlled. It was precisely because of this that the Earth Spirit Bugbears were not scared away. They stayed, trying to make a judgment on Chen Feng, and then consider eating or running away.
Looking at the three faces that kept looking at him, Chen Feng did not make any unnecessary movements. He just raised his right hand and pointed at one of them.
"Boom!"
The head exploded!
Powerful mental power leaked out and filled the head of the Earth Spirit Bugbears. The principle was like a balloon filled with air, and under the effect of pressure, it turned into powder.
With a finger, the head of a companion was completely split open. This was a power that even the patriarch did not have.
Chen Feng proved himself to the surviving Earth Spirit Bugbears.
There was no so-called revenge or other emotions. In almost a second, the remaining two Earth Spirit Bugbears knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Feng.
There were no emotions, only the strong and the weak.
The dark creatures here had long been assimilated by the Abyss. The first thing they considered was not how to avenge their companions, but how to use the most humble method to admit their mistakes to Chen Feng in an attempt to preserve their lives.
"Take me to a nearby city. I want to trade some things." Chen Feng looked down at the kneeling Earth Spirit Bugbears and used the ability of the Demon Horn to explain his thoughts.
At this moment, a voice filled with fear and trepidation came from the side.
"Don't kill us. We will bring you to the nearest city, Bullingdon Stone City …" the bugbear stuttered. Although this was not the language of the abyss, Chen Feng was still able to understand what they were saying by relying on the Devil's Horn.
"Okay, let's go now. If your performance is good enough, I'll consider giving you your freedom again." Chen Feng was playing the role of a ruthless powerhouse. In just a few seconds, he had the life and death of the two Earth Spirit Bugbears in his hands.
The two Earth Spirit Bugbears continued on their way.
"By the way, do you have names?"
"I …"
"Okay, you don't need to use your previous names. From now on, you're called Big Bear, and you're called Big Bear."
"…" Although the Earth Spirit Bugbears did not know what this meant, they would do whatever their master said. After seeing Chen Feng kill their companions with a finger, the loyalty of the surviving Earth Spirit Bugbears had completely changed!
