Li'er took a deep look at the night elf who was even more excited than him.

You dare to conquer this land more than I do.

Look at this dark world again.

All I could see was a hazy scene, not clear enough.

In front of the exit of the underground passage is a rock platform with a diameter of 100 meters, about 40 to 50 meters from the ground, with an inclined slope extending outward.

Below was a twisted dense forest with trees and vegetation intertwined. There were strange trees over ten or twenty meters tall, as well as flat grasslands.

Intelligence suggests that there is a lava coal mine and a big-mouthed scavenger beast at the exit of the underground passage.

But the specific location was not given, so he had to find it.

After a slight hesitation, he looked at the night elf beside him.

"Ishani, there is a group of big-mouthed scavengers living nearby, and there is also a special magma coal mine."

"You are familiar with the underground environment. Take people to search. Our goal this time is these two things."

Ishani calmed down a little at this moment and nodded immediately.

"Yes, my lord!"

Then he led his men down the slope.

At the same time, the grave guards began to disperse and stand guard in the sky.

The big demon also flew farther away to be on alert.

At this time, Kalanis came with a long sword in her hand and possessed some tyrannical power.

Said with some amazement.

"Sir, so this is the legendary underground world. It is indeed different."

Hearing this, Lear turned and looked at the high-spirited warrior.

"This world hides a lot of secrets and unknowns. Countless dark gods have their eyes set on this."

"We need to tread carefully."

Calanis’s eyes were determined.

"Yes, sir. But no matter who our enemies are, no one can hurt you!"

Li Er smiled.

"You should go too. Go with Ishani and search around to get familiar with the underground world."

Calanis nodded happily.

Stride away.

During the carpet-style search, time passed quickly and half an hour was over in the blink of an eye.

Just as Lear was thinking about searching personally, a shrill cry of a bat was heard from a distance.

He looked up suddenly, but found nothing unusual, and the big devil was still on guard in the sky.

I felt a little relaxed, but just a dozen breaths later, I saw Isani riding a swamp giant deer galloping towards me at an extremely fast speed.

His face was full of anxiety.

"My Lord, the Bat Tide is coming!!"

"Quick, get the troops back into the passage!!"

A tide of bats?

The unfamiliar noun made Lear frown slightly. He looked up the second time, but didn't find anything unusual.

But he had great trust in Ishani, and gave the order immediately without any hesitation.

"All troops retreat to the passage!"

Several lizardmen around him immediately began to make low roars.

The next moment, the cold-blooded cavalry retreated.

The night elves returned even faster.
Soon, the army filed in and returned to the small cave.

However, the channel capacity is limited, so the return speed is slightly slower.

While they were still retreating, bursts of sharp and piercing bat calls suddenly appeared.

A bad feeling rose inside Lear.

When I looked up again, a thick dark cloud appeared at the edge of my vision.

Like a storm, sweeping across the world from top to bottom.

The dense forest was quickly swallowed up. Wherever it passed, there were bursts of shrill screams of wild beasts.

The storm swept in at a very fast speed.

In a short while, it had closed within two or three hundred meters.

Only now did Lear see clearly that the terrifying storm was made up entirely of bats.

The wingspan of those bats was longer than their arms, and their eyes were blood red, like light bulbs.

The fangs protrude from the lips, as if inlaid with daggers, reflecting a cold luster.

Its back is covered with hideous stone thorns, like a large hedgehog.

At this time, there were still two or three hundred cold-blooded cavalrymen who had not yet entered the passage.

Sensing the strong breath of life, the bats suddenly became excited.

Let out a sharper and more piercing scream.

Whoosh~ The wings flapped wildly and swooped down like arrows.

Phew~ Phew~
Directly ran into the cold-blooded cavalry.

Ding-ling-dang-dang~
There were bursts of metallic clanging sounds.

Many bats were killed by the impact and their heads were cracked.

But more bats were simply bounced away, then screamed and fell on the cold-blooded cavalry.

Biting madly with ferocious sharp teeth.

This terrifying frenzy covered everything!
In just a few breaths, these heavily armored cavalrymen were covered with bats.

The cold-blooded cavalryman remained calm and swung his sword in the most brutal manner.
Each knife can cut off a large piece.

But there are too many.

Looking around, the sky was completely covered, as if it was swallowed by a sandstorm. Looking around, there was nothing to see.

Just bats, lots and lots of bats.

"Grave Guardian!"

Lear's voice turned cold.

The next moment, in the rear passage, the ghost that had just retreated rushed out with a sharp sickle in hand.

Crashed into the tide of bats in the most direct way!

Swing the sickle and reap souls directly!
The levels of these bats are all level 7, which is not high. What is difficult to deal with is the exaggerated number of the opponent.

These incorporeal lives are not afraid of human wave tactics.

With each attack, one could see uninjured bat corpses falling down.

It was like a high-speed meat grinder, forcibly harvesting the flesh and blood in front of it with a domineering attitude.

Even so, these two thousand guards of the desolate tombs can only guard a small area in front of the passage and cannot go deeper into it.

Like a reef hit by a terrifying tide, if it cannot resist, it may be shattered.

The cold-blooded cavalry is suitable for attacking strongholds, but they are somewhat powerless in the face of the tide of bats.

After the graveyard guards held up the battlefield, they gradually retreated into the passage.

Lear was also amazed when he saw the endless bats attacking the defense line of the desolate tomb.

Is this the underground world? He was given a direct warning.

Ishani said with some heaviness at this moment.

"My Lord, these are rock bats. They live in caves in the underground world and usually survive by gnawing on rocks."

"Every once in a while, they would riot en masse, fly out of the cave, and attack everything around them."

"No one knows how many caves there are in the underground world, so the number of these bats is suffocating."

"Their teeth are extremely sharp and can easily bite through armor. They also contain the poison of crazy bats. If you are bitten by them, you will become crazy and lose your mind."

"Every wave of bats is a terrible disaster"

In this sinister place called the underworld, danger is as much a threat as wealth.

Lear nodded, his heart calmed down.
Compared to the endless army of fallen demons, bats are slightly lower in level but more threatening. They are flying creatures.

The surface defense line is completely useless.

But things are different now. The number of grave guards has increased to 2000.

Moreover, by defending the mountain, we don't have to bear such great pressure.

Allow him ample room to maneuver.

Thinking of this, Lear became interested.

Half of the grave guards are now recruited after the grave is promoted, and the inscriptions on the sickles have not been lit up yet.

Grave Guardian's characteristic: every time you harvest 100 souls, you can light up an inscription and increase the sickle's attack power by 20%.

This talent is very outstanding, but how much effort does it take to light up the inscription in the outside world?

And there are two thousand people who want to light it up!

Now there are swarms of bats right in front of us, so densely packed that we can't kill them all.

This isn't any danger at all; this is a godsend opportunity!
The graveyard guards apparently noticed this and began to kill even more crazily.

In its madness, inscriptions began to light up on the sickle.

The storm lasted for three hours before it gradually subsided.

The bats gradually became fewer and fewer, and finally disappeared completely.

The storm has passed.

Lear calmed himself down and turned to look.

The ground was already full of corpses, and in the center, they were piled up several meters high.
Two thousand graveyard guards slaughtered without restraint for three hours.

One can imagine how many bats were killed.

It is simply called the Bat Tide, but even this did not have much impact on this tide.

The high intensity of killing also brought the grave guards the richest rewards.

The most intuitive thing is that the inscriptions on the sickles of the first batch of grave guards have all been lit up.

20 inscriptions can increase the attack power by 400%, which is simply abnormal!
Although the level has not been increased, after this battle, the Grave Guardian will definitely become the enemy's nightmare.

The second batch of grave guards also had more than 10 inscriptions lighting up.

The attack power surged. Lear was satisfied.

They can only guard the desolate graves. If the cold-blooded cavalry were to face the three-hour non-stop storm-like attack of the bat frenzy, they might not be able to withstand it.

Even if you have 3-star armor.

When the quantity reaches a certain level, it is enough to cause a qualitative change.

And the bat's level 7 is not low.

No wonder Ishani was so nervous.

Ordinary underground life, faced with such natural disasters, without sufficient defensive fortifications, would probably suffer a devastating blow.

But now, it's his turn.

He looked at the bat carcasses piled on the ground with burning eyes.

Unfortunately, he stayed in the territory of the Scarlet Carrion Land to suppress the flying dragon.

If it carries a living being, it will consume a huge amount of energy.

The consumption of a level 16 flying dragon was so exaggerated that he had to stay in the territory. If he was forced to bring it out, the flesh and blood energy of tens of thousands of fallen demons would be unstoppable.

But it doesn’t matter. If you can’t take it away, just digest it.

A thought.

The black cloak behind him suddenly emitted a dark mist.

The fog dissipated and covered the entire battlefield.

The next moment, the bat corpses on the ground began to shrivel visibly.

Until it is completely brittle, as if it has been dried by the wind for hundreds of years.
At this moment, the black fog suddenly became chaotic, as if it was being twisted by an invisible giant hand.

Lear's eyes moved slightly, and he could clearly feel that the black fog had undergone a miraculous change.

After the energy on the ground was completely consumed, the black mist quickly gathered and returned to the cloak.

At this moment, as if on the flowing cloak in the night, light silver inscriptions appeared.

Make it more gorgeous and profound.

Li immediately became interested and took a look at the attribute panel of Mist Shadow with some curiosity.

I was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

The original level of 14 has now been upgraded to level 15!
Promoted!
The energy provided by the countless bat corpses directly filled it up.
Hahaha, comfortable.

This cloak serves as his backup, and the higher the level, the greater the sense of security it brings him.

In this way, the level 15 power in his hands increased to 9!
This is a serious high-level hero.

After these two harvests, Lear was in an exceptionally happy mood.

The rewards from exploring the new map are indeed rich.

After calming down, he did not sit idle. He asked the grave guards to be on guard in the sky and continued to send troops to search.

The magma coal and the big-mouthed scavenger, the two goals of this trip have not yet been found.

During the second search, the army acted more decisively and quickly.

About ten minutes later, Ishani suddenly returned.

One hand was holding the long mane of the swamp deer's neck, and the other hand was holding a figure covered in mud.

He was about 1.40 meters tall, with unnatural grayish skin, extremely muscular body, and a long beard on his chin, which was tightly tied with seven or eight metal rings.

As they swing, they collide with each other and make crisp sounds.

This is a dwarf?!

Lear raised his brows slightly.

When the other party approached, he immediately discovered that although his appearance was the same as a dwarf, his aura was completely different.

He gives people the feeling of a hooligan wandering the streets with nothing to do.

"Sir, I found this gray dwarf in a bush."

Gray dwarves are common life forms in the underground world. They are a variation of dwarves. They are evil, selfish, and greedy. They are completely different from the dwarves in that they are bold, stubborn, and just.

Li Er became interested and opened the attribute panel to take a look.

Gray dwarf, level: 8th level, racial talent: evil forging. The forged weapons carry a bit of evil will, which will make people's will and actions tend to be evil.

Wow, this race is really interesting.

Even his talents are evil-oriented.
As Isani spoke, she took a few steps closer and threw the gray dwarf to the ground with a plop.

Before he could struggle to get up, the night elf swiftly rolled down and put one foot on his back.

puff~
The body that had just been half-supported fell down again, and the face made the most intimate contact with the ground.

Suddenly a bloodstain appeared.

But the night elf was not moved at all.

There is no good person living in the underground world. They are the same.

Lear looked at the gray dwarf who was wailing in pain.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Hearing this, the gray dwarf looked up, and Lear's heroic face was reflected in his eyes.

My heart trembled.

Surface people?!

Are these life forms from the surface?

Looking at the two big demons standing behind him, he felt his scalp tingling.

This being's army is so disorganized? How powerful a force must be to subdue them?!

While his thoughts were turning, he did not delay in replying.

"Respected sir, great lord, shining master. I am a resident of the Iron City."

"I'm here because I saw a group of night elves enter that cave yesterday."

"They are members of the Holy Song Clan. They rarely send out an army of this size in the past."

"I suspect they have discovered treasure."

"You are hiding here to confirm this?"

"That's right. I just waited for a whole day and didn't see any movement."

"I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, I encountered a tide of bats."

"Luckily, the stinking flower I got earlier is still usable, so those bats didn't attack me."

Lear wasn't interested in listening to him and asked directly.

"Do you know where the big-mouthed scavenger beasts that live around here are?"

"Those lowly creatures that eat everything? I know, I know!"

"There's a sunken hole over there, and they're all hiding in there."

Lear's eyes lit up.

Do you really know?
He immediately became interested and without hesitation let the gray dwarf lead the team.

The gray dwarves dared not resist and led the way obediently.

He just stole a glance at the big devil behind Lear from time to time. When he was discovered, he trembled all over and became even more obedient.

Go down the slope and enter the twisted dense forest ahead. After winding for several hundred meters, you will arrive at an inconspicuous area.

There are many rocks here, so it is not convenient to explore.

The gray dwarf walked across a rubble of rocks and came to a large rock at the edge of the area, pointing to a patch of low grass.

"Dear Lord, the scavengers are inside."

From a distance, it looks like an inconspicuous patch of grass. No one would have thought that there would be a cave hidden here.

Lear waved his hand.

The big devil behind him stepped forward immediately.

Just lift it up and all the weeds will be removed.

A hole about one meter wide appeared in the air.

"Great Lord, the scavengers' nests are usually about ten meters underground. They won't dig their nests too deep."

Lear glanced at the gray dwarf who had his hands crossed in front of him and apologetically smiled.

This guy is quite clear-headed and never lied along the way.

"Go in and catch all those scavengers."

A one-meter-wide hole in the ground cannot accommodate the big demons, but they are not ordinary creatures.

The evil aura emanating from the big demon poured directly into the hole.

After a slight perception, the figure became blurred and disappeared into the air.

In a moment, it reappeared.

But the difference this time was that two creatures, one and a half meters long and with exaggeratedly large mouths, like four-legged lizards, had appeared on its hands.

The skin all over his body was twisted and wrinkled like old tree bark, and it emitted a disgusting stench.

Big Mouth Scavenger, Level: Level 5, Racial Talent: Gluttony, can digest all nutritious things, and its excrement can be eaten as high-grade fertilizer.

Lear looked at its attributes and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"How many scavengers are there?"

“More than 200.”

"so much?!!"

"Okay, okay! All of you go in together and catch them all!"

This number completely exceeded expectations.

The fertilizer for the City of Dew is available.

At this moment, the big demon threw the big-mouthed scavenger aside and stretched out his right hand.

A charred stone appeared.

"Master, this is what I found inside."

Lear looked at it curiously, but before he could check the attributes, the gray dwarf next to him screamed in surprise.

"Magma coal?!!"

"God of Forging, there is magma and coal here?!

Lear's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wow, I didn't expect that the lair of the big-mouthed scavenger beast was actually a lava coal vein? ! !

This is a double blessing. (End of this chapter)
