Prologue Explore
There are naturally many explanations for the so-called black road. In fact, as long as you are a person with relatively normal IQ, you will not understand it literally. Since it is a black road, most of it is a certain "not worthy of being a foreigner" path, or it may be a dangerous place. In short, it is definitely not a place where a good citizen who abides by the law should go. The same is true for this black road in the Xueluo Mountains. As a very good hidden path, it used to be the place that smugglers and criminals most like. This black road is located in the deep mountains of the Xueluo Mountains, and its specific location is very hidden. But when it comes to those black roads
After the dark elves entered here, everything changed. They relied on their powerful power to massacre those merchants and tourists passing by (although taking this path also means that those guys are not good people). So, gradually, the road was gradually closed. No one was willing to risk walking through this passage that runs through the entire mountain range, and the robbers who relied on robbing those tourists and merchants for their living also withdrew from this area because they gradually lost profits. As for races such as goblins, they had long been captured by the dark elves as slaves. It can be said that the dark road is safer than ever before - and more dangerous than ever.
In fact, the fat merchant did not intend to take this path, but this was a very considerable transaction after all. The night was long and the dreams were too long, and the longer it was dragged, the more unfavorable it was. However, Li Lin insisted on taking this dark road. Since the dock had no way to count on it, he could only rely on this legendary dark road. Of course, he did not care about the interests of the fat merchant, but rather took a fancy to the group of dark elves. So he proposed to go there first, solve the "trouble" in it, and then cooperate with the merchant team.
Move forward together. Fat businessman unexpectedly opposed Li Lin's statement. After all, in his opinion, although Li Lin and the few people around him were very powerful, the cruelty of the dark elves was well known. If something happened, then everything would be over. But Li Lin naturally could not be convinced by the fat businessman. On the contrary, after a dispute, the fat businessman finally helped to stop the caravan in the village closest to the Black Road, waiting for good news from Li Lin and others.
The mercenaries were also kept together, but many problems arise. When the mercenaries learned that their employer was going to the Black Road to solve the troubles of the Dark Elves, they disagree that they would go by themselves. After all, Li Lin is their employer, and the risky behavior should be done by the mercenaries. But at the moment, this relationship has been reversed. If it is spread, where will these mercenaries save face in the future? Therefore, they urgently demanded their companions to protect the personal safety of Li Lin and several ladies. In their opinion, it is too dangerous to just rely on these people to solve the troublesome dark elves.
In the end, Li Lin agreed to their request, but he only symbolically selected two or three mercenaries and left the rest in the caravan.
“Protecting the caravan is my duty and mission to you.”
He said this to the mercenary captain.
"I don't want when we come back from troubleshooting, we will see only the plundered carriage."
Since this is the case, the mercenaries can only accept their fate. The selected mercenaries are very excited. After all, the legend of the dark elves is well known among the mercenaries. Those dark-skinned elves are like poisonous snakes, insidious and terrifying. Even the bravest mercenaries are difficult to survive under their hands. At the same time, this is like a touchstone. Once anyone can kill the dark elves, his reputation will naturally rise among the mercenaries.
Enough danger and sufficient reward.
Among the people who set out this time, in addition to Li Lin and others, there was another strange face. It was an elf, which Li Lin bought from the chambers of commerce that were also stranded at the dock in his spare time. Although he was an elf, he naturally looked beautiful. However, compared to Anjiela, Nia and others around Li Lin, it was just like this. But what surprised the mercenaries was that Li Lin actually took the elf into the woods, and after three or four hours, he came out, and then announced that he would bring the elf slave.
No one can understand Li Lin’s thoughts except Li Lin himself.
He needed to discuss with the Elf Goddess, and naturally he had to find the followers of the Elf Goddess to call on Goddess. Moreover, the elves' ability to withstand mysterious powers is stronger than that of humans. Even if they are not chosen by God, one or two Goddess will not cause any special damage to them. And this "negotiation" finally came to an end. It was obvious that the Elf Goddess did not expect Li Lin to want these dark-skinned exiles, and was very surprised. But at the same time, she agreed that if the plan succeeds, she would forgive the betrayers and relieve their curse.
"But, it's difficult."
The Elf Goddess also didn't forget to remind Li Lin that this was not an easy task.
In the agreement reached, Li Lin agreed to assist the Elf Goddess in fighting against the Evil God, who would try to weaken the other party's strength and give a suitable environment. This did not violate the agreement that the Arcane Sorcerer did not kill Gods. In return, the Elf Goddess would hand over the fate of the exiled to him. After all, once the evil gods believed by the dark elves died, they had little choice.
Once he controls this group of dark elves, Li Lin has enough capital. The Thousand Towers City is on the ground, but at the same time he also needs an underground allied army. Humans cannot take advantage of it in the dark area, and he can also let go of it and do everything he wants to do. This group of dark elves will become his vanguard army, stabbing the enemy's key points like a dagger.
After a long trek, Li Lin and his party finally arrived in front of a huge cave. According to the not-so-formal map on the fat merchant's hand, this is the entrance to the Black Road. The entire Black Road is an underground tunnel running through the Xueluo Mountains. No one knows whether it was formed naturally or artificially made. At least, Li Lin had never heard of such a road during the Magic Empire.
Because of the dark elves, even the beasts living in the mountains are far away from here. The evil and dark aura they emit is full of fear for any animal. Perhaps, Anjiela is an exception.
“This is the entrance?”
Li Lin carefully checked the map, then raised his head to compare, and finally nodded.
"It should be here."
"very good."
Angela smiled softly, then she turned her head and looked at one of the mercenaries.
"Male, go in and see how it's going on inside."
"Hey? Me, me?"
The one who was pulled to Anjie to name was the poor little thief. He had no intention of coming, but unfortunately, Li Lin didn't seem to have intended to let him leave. Therefore, he was forced to become a member of Li Lin's journey. At the moment, staring at the terrible entrance of the darkness and silence, the little thief felt a chill, as if it was a ferocious beast, waiting for the prey to enter and swallow it in one bite.
"What, are you still a man?"
Angela narrowed her eyes, and a clear sarcastic smile appeared on her cute little face.
"Don't men want to go in if they have holes? Whether it's above or below, in front or behind. Now, there is a hole in front of you. Don't you want to go in and take a look?"
"Well……………"
Angela's vicious words blocked the thief's retreat, and the two sisters were also a little embarrassed because of this obvious hint. Only Li Lin and Nia completely pretended not to hear it, and it had nothing to do with them anyway. What's more, in Nia's introduction, Li Lin already knew very well that the gathering place of the dark elves was deep underground, so they would not appear so close to the ground. However, it was obvious that this vicious mockery also aroused the dissatisfaction of other mercenaries. So, under their threatening eyes, the poor thief had to raise a torch and walk into the dark cave.
Of course, he could not play a path-seeking role. In the dark underground, any creature is very sensitive to light. If you want to explore the path, then Angela and the sisters are the best choice. After all, the blood-sucking species has the ability to easily see objects in the dark species, which is far better than those humans who can see the road in front of them with the help of light. Li Lin and Nia are not among them. A small spell of dark vision is enough to solve all problems for them.
So, the only function of the poor little thief is bait.
In the dark cave, the group slowly moved forward. The one who walked in front was the unlucky pitiful man. The one who was followed was Fina. Originally, Li Lin asked Fina to take care of the elf, but perhaps she felt the evil aura that would inevitably be there on the blood-sucking species. The young elf was very resistant to Fina. She also kept a wary eye for those humans, only Li Lin, who became the only one among these people who could make the elf feel at ease because of the elf goddess descending the divine metaphor. Therefore, she followed closely behind Li Lin and Nia, and Anjiera was obviously very dissatisfied with her actions. As for the remaining mercenaries, they were responsible for the rear of the temple with Mina. In the dark underground, the danger behind was far greater than before. Even though darkness gave enough cover to those creatures, they were still evil and cunning.
The underground is much more dangerous than the ground. In fact, at the beginning, Li Lin did notice that there were many underground creatures lurking beside them and trying to attack them. However, Angela's powerful evil aura finally made these underground creatures choose to retreat.
"Humans always say that they are at the top of the biological chain, and in my opinion, this is nothing more than that."
After two more underground giant insects chose to leave instead of attack, Angela sneered and said.
"The existence of a class always requires the recognition of other classes to be established. I can make all species surrender and fear in front of me. This is the true peak. What about those fragile and small humans? Even if they hold weapons, wild wolf and firewood dogs will not fear their existence. Perhaps this is the reason why those humans are angry and angry..." As he said, Anjiela rotated beautifully in place, as beautiful and elegant as a dance elves. "Those animals can feel from intuition that the so-called humans are just a link in the food chain. They are not the vertex, nor the top, but just another animal that is slightly higher. A food that can be enjoyed by other species."
"Arrogance is always undesirable, and self-confidence is always necessary. Moreover, some things are not born like this. Young lions will also become prey of Shibadogs, which does not affect their status."
Li Lin didn't know whether he agreed with Angela's statement or was denying her.
"However, I suggest you keep calmer. If you scare away the person we are looking for, it will be more than worth the money. After all, we are not here to travel."
