Chapter 203: Underground Dwarf Kingdom
Finally approaching the bottom, the situation below also came into Duke's eyes.
At the bottom of the entire Lobuda Grand Canyon is a sandstone land. However, on this sandstone land, there will be a huge hole every ten miles, each with a radius of hundreds of meters.
Looking from above, it looks like the giant mouths of hideous monsters spreading underground. It is indeed a bit hideous when you want to swallow everything.
“The entrance is here!”
Duke's eyes narrowed slightly, but the shadow beside him had already twisted strangely again and floated towards the huge black hole directly below.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the shadow entered the black hole, ripples suddenly rippled in the entire black hole, and a strange force also bounced the shadow clone directly. It seemed that there was an invisible film in this black hole, which isolated the entry of external objects.
"This magic array in the underground dwarf world is still operating on its own!"
Duke was a little surprised and couldn't help but mumble in his heart: "His aunt has been working for thousands of years, and she is so perverted!"
These days, Duke has naturally learned a lot from him about getting along with Sitter. Especially when it comes to entering the world of the underground dwarf kingdom, he has also learned in detail.
According to some ancient stories brought out by Seit from their dwarves from the underground world, the Underground Dwarves Kingdom World is actually a very magical place, because the entire Underground Kingdom is a huge magic circle.
It is said that it was a large magic circle that was gradually completed after countless years and generations of strong men when the ancient dwarves founded the underground world.
Even though it was invaded by the demons and finally sealed, the magic circle underground was still not completely destroyed.
At this moment, the shadow clone first explored, which proved this.
This made Duke sigh a little. The ancient dwarf clan was indeed a powerful race back then. He could use magic to build a world underground, and even thousands of years later, the magic array of this underground world was still running.
This wisdom is indeed not comparable to ordinary races.
Thinking in his heart, Duke did not hesitate at all. With a long roar, he rode two thorny crown birds and rushed straight down towards the huge black hole.
According to Site, the magic barrier at the entrance is not dangerous. It was used as a warning for the ancient dwarf kingdom of that year. So that someone can enter and let those waiting below discover it in time.
Moreover, as long as the person whose cultivation is lower than the titled magician or titled sword master can pass through this barrier directly.
As for the strong men who have reached the titled magician and the titled sword master, they will be blocked by this barrier. Unless they are allowed by the ancient dwarfs, they will be unable to enter.
This limitation on cultivation is actually a kind of protection for the underground dwarf kingdom.
After all, the destructive power of the magician and sword master who have reached the title or above is absolutely terrifying. Such powerful people naturally cannot enter their kingdom at will.
It is precisely because of this restriction that all the forces who came to explore this time and the expedition personnel sent by them were all below the titled magician and sword master.
Obviously, the major forces on the continent also knew some of the rules of the ancient dwarf underground kingdom.
"Bang!"
As his body rushed into the black hole, a strong magic wave suddenly blew, but Duke's entire person was as if he had broken through a thin film and suddenly crashed into the darkness.
Fortunately, the darkness only maintained its blink of an eye. When his vision was restored to its original state, Duke had already found himself in a strange place.
Looking around, there is a vast wilderness, and you can't see at first sight. There are vaguely towering mountains in the distance, but the four fields are deserted. At this moment, Duke is riding a thorny crown bird, hovering above this place.
Looking up, I saw a gray area above, I couldn't see the sun, moon and stars, nor did I imagine that I could reach the ground. I saw a rock layer on the top, as if the sky was covered by a thick layer of fog that could not be melted, and I couldn't see what was above. Moreover, I didn't feel as depressed as I was underground. At least from Duke's perspective, I actually flew into the sky at a height of hundreds of meters.
Looking down, on the barren vast field, a ravine that is several miles wide and tens of meters deep is spread across it, winding into the distance, and I don’t know how long it is.
In the gully, the blazing rocks and fire rocks will be flowing, and the turbulent fire lights of the rocks will illuminate the world with bright and darkness, and a bizarre nature. Obviously, this huge gully was formed by the eruption of the Hell Rock Fire. However, what made Duke feel in his heart was that this space is filled with a cold atmosphere. So much so that everything in his vision becomes hazy and unreal, as if covered with a layer of fog.
"The undead spirit energy is still shrouded in this place!" Duke's eyebrows frowned. He could clearly sense the gloomy aura filled with this space was the undead spirit energy.
It seems that the flames erupted by the hell rock fire only burned the undead energy in the Grand Canyon above, but the undead energy in the vast space underground cannot be removed at all.
"Master Duke!"
While pondering, at this moment, the space around me was rippling, and a series of birds rang out suddenly, but Seit and his two teams of personnel had also entered here and came to Duke.
Looking at the situation below, Seth and his fellow dwarfs suddenly became unrealistic.
The world of the underground dwarf kingdom has been sealed for thousands of years. This is also the first time that the dwarfs and the others have entered here. Seeing the place where their ancestors lived, the mood of Sitter and the others is indeed a bit inexplicable.
"This is the West Lane River in the Underworld!"
Sitter's eyes focused on the huge gully below. Looking at the rocks rolling in the gully, his voice became a little trembling.
"Oh, this is the West Lane River underground?" Duke was a little surprised.
In Duke's imagination, the so-called river should flow with river water. Then, I know that the river is actually flowing with rock generals, which is indeed a bit contrary to common sense.
"Yes! Master Duke!"
Sith's expression was incomprehensible, "We ancient dwarfs are famous for forging. Therefore, for our ancient dwarfs, the rock fire refined in the time of forging is the most important thing."
"Therefore, our ancient dwarf tribe worships the gods of Hell Rock Fire, Xilain, to protect our ancient dwarf tribe."
Sit pointed to the large ravines below and continued: "In the ancient dwarf underground world of that time, this Xilean River, although it did not flow water, it nurtured the people of the entire underground kingdom."
"Why?" Duke was a little confused when he heard this. He was really confused. How could a river formed by rocks raise a race?
"Master Duke!"
Sitter's expression became solemn, "The West Lane River underground is not full of rock generals all year round. Only on May 15th every year will the underground rock fire explode, and then the West Lane River will be filled with rock generals."
"After that, when the rock fire erupts, the rocks in the West Lane River will gradually cool down."
Sit's eyes flashed with a bright light: "But the rocks erupting from the Hell Rock Fire will contain various rich substances. When the rocks will cool down, these rocks will be the best fertilizer to irrigate the farmlands in the underground world."
"At that time, the ancient dwarves in the underground world could have a great harvest every year by relying on these magma ash farms, thus raising the once-million-dollar population of this underground world."
Sit said proudly, "So, the Silain River is the mother river of our ancient dwarves. Our current city of Latemor was also built according to the pattern of the underground world back then. It even flowed through the river in the middle of the city, also called the Silain River. We hope that our guardian god, Silain, can protect the dwarves forever."
"So that's it!" Duke nodded.
"In the underground world, because farming is closely related to the magma eruption of the West Lane River."
Sitter obviously had a deep study of the history of the ancient dwarves in the underground. At this moment, he said it very well, "So, the underground world only has spring and summer in a year."
"Before the West Lane River Rock Fire broke out, the underground rock fire will have an activity period, about half a year. Although it does not eject rock fire, it will emit a lot of geothermal heat."
Setter continued: "So, during the West Lane River activity period, it's summer."
"After the rock fire erupted, the West Lane River entered a dormant period."
Sitter pointed to the surrounding fields: "At this time, it is spring and the time for the ancient dwarves to sow seeds."
"It's a pity!"
Speaking of this, Star's expression became a little sad: "Now this place has become deserted. If it were in the past, there would be fields everywhere."
There was a sad look on Seit's face, and he could clearly feel that the space around him was filled with a strong sense of undead spirit. In this environment, it was impossible to grow any vegetation. I think that after experiencing the underground world being invaded by the demons, this kingdom has indeed become a ruin.
As they were talking, the space around them fluctuated again, and several groups of people entered here, but the other people who came to explore also came here from the entrance where Duke and the others entered.
However, these people did not stop, and each determined a direction and quickly ran to various places. Obviously, each team of people entering here to explore had their own predetermined goals, and they did not want to have more contact with each other. After all, although the forces of all parties are on the Galgalon continent, the major forces have their complex relationships. In this underground world, there are really some enemies and friends.
"Let's go!"
Seeing other teams coming in, Sitter finally came back to his senses and looked ahead, "Along this West Lane River, you can reach the center of the first floor of the underground world, and then you can see the entrance to the next floor."
The underground dwarf kingdom does not have only one layer, but three layers.
Each floor is thousands of miles in a radius and extremely vast. When Duke came in, he had already learned about these situations from Site.
