"Huh..."
Long Ze Liyue was obviously relieved and smiled lightly at Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, you will know in the future, you made the right choice."
< br>Although Natalie still felt that it was a bit hasty, since it was everyone's decision, she could only obey the majority.
"Liyue, is there any way you can leave the third natural disaster city?"
Natalie stared at Longze Liyue. As far as she knew, no matter how high the The lift passages on the ground and the entrance passages leading to several other underground cities are all heavily guarded by the Scourge Army.
In their current situation, forcing their way through the passage would undoubtedly lead to their own death.
If the leader of Huanglong is here, he can still leave through the delay hole, but at this time, he cannot get in touch with the leader.
As for Lingfeng's Donghuang Bell, the teleportation points currently open are only Digou District, Blackwater Market and a few places in the Evernight City.
"Come with me, I know an abandoned mine tunnel that can lead directly to the second disaster city."
Long Ze Liyue looked back at everyone and said slowly : "Hundreds of years ago, the top ten clergy families, including my Longze family, also opened in the bottom area. Later, in order to unify management, more and more alchemy factories were gradually built in the lower-level areas. In fact, most of them were reorganized by major families, but now they are nominally jointly controlled by the three courts of the Judgment Council. Jurisdiction. The collected square crystals will also be distributed uniformly.”
"This has also led to the abandonment of many mining areas that were originally developed privately. After all, private mining is no longer allowed by the Third Academy."
Long Ze Liyue paused and continued. He added: "Theoretically, the bottom areas of each major natural disaster city are relatively independent. Apart from purchasing passes, there is almost no other way to enter other dungeons, but everything There is no guarantee. In order to gain greater profits, the major families who mined privately often dug the mines deep and far, even into the areas of several other underground cities. Although they were later abandoned, they were not completely destroyed. Fill it up.
"Except for a few core members of my Longze family, no one should know about this mine tunnel. However, times are a bit long ago. Although the mine tunnel has entered the second disaster city, the end section has not been completely opened. It may take some effort by then. ”
“It’s a good thing that it’s not completely connected. ”
Ling Feng’s eyes narrowed, this plan sounds basically feasible.
Not long after, the group finally left the ditch area and arrived at the mining area in the northern part of the third natural disaster city.
Or should be said, abandoned mining area.
Because most of the Fangges crystal mines in the north have been exhausted, the alchemy factory has also been moved to the area near the ditch area.
There are basically only empty pitted mines here. Other than that, it is desolate.
Oh, of course there is also the alchemical haze that is so rich that it cannot be dissolved.
In the underlying area, this haze is almost impossible to dissipate. With the abandonment of a mining area, this area will also become a forbidden area where humans cannot survive at all.
Let alone ordinary people, even if a special person wears a purification mask and enters this area, he will still feel uncomfortable, and every pore of the body will feel a slight tingling.
The environment here is even ten times worse than the ditch area.
But this is probably the future of Digou District.
For those in the Judgment Council, it is enough to obtain the Fangges Crystal. As for whether the people at the bottom can survive, that is not something they need to consider.
"Cough cough cough..."
Huang Shaotian raised his hand to fan away the haze floating in front of his eyes, but the more he fanned, the more the haze dispersed, so that he couldn't even see the path ahead clearly.
“Don’t fan randomly, and use the slightest fanning when walking.”
Long Ze Liyue looked back at Huang Shaotian, and reminded in a deep voice: “These hazes gather in Together, it has been concentrated hundreds of times. If you fan the haze away, the situation will only get worse."
"This is really a purgatory..."
Huang Shaotian rolled his eyes. He thought that the ditch area was already bad enough, but in this place, he felt like he was going to die if he stayed here for one more second.
“It will be relatively better to go through the outermost layer and enter the mine tunnel.”
Long Ze Liyue raised a staff inlaid with square crystals and barely illuminated it. out path.
After walking hard for about half an hour, the group finally arrived outside a deep mine.
“Finally found it.”
Long Ze Liyue stepped forward and groped for a while on the left side of the mine. After everyone looked carefully, they discovered a row of marks that looked like numbers.
“That’s the number!”
Longze Liyue seemed to be relieved. In fact, this was her first time here.
After all, the existence of this mine tunnel only exists in the confidential files of the Longze family. If the corresponding number cannot be found, their current situation will be very troublesome.
“In order to compete for the mining rights of this mine, there was actually a big conflict between several major families, but that was all hundreds of years ago.” Long Ze Liyue While explaining, he watched his surroundings vigilantly in case anything unexpected happened.
With that said, Longze Liyue held up the staff and was the first to walk into the mine tunnel.
With the faint light of the staff, I can barely see clearly. The rock walls around the mine tunnel have been eroded by the years. The air is filled with a rotten musty smell, and occasionally there are the squeaks of some mutated mice. , breaking the dull silence.
"Be careful, everyone, follow me closely."
Long Ze Liyue reminded softly. She was walking at the front, holding a staff in her hand to illuminate.
Natalie supported Ling Feng and followed closely.
Huang Shaotian followed the team at the end, always alert to the movements around him.
It took a whole night to walk like this.
Or maybe a day and night have passed. In this dim mine tunnel, coupled with the bad air, everyone's footsteps are extremely heavy and they gradually lose their sense of time.
But other than that, I didn’t encounter any other trouble.
Long Ze Liyue has memorized a detailed map in his mind. Although there were some landslides along the way, they were easily solved by Natalie's iron fist.
"According to the family map, we should have reached the second half of the mine tunnel now, and should be almost to the area of the second disaster city."
Long Ze Liyue looked back at everyone, "Anyway , we should be safe now."< br>
"Haha..."
Huang Shaotian laughed dryly, "My purification mask has almost turned completely black. I feel like I am not far away from being poisoned to death."
"Keep holding on."
Long Ze Liyue rolled her eyes at him, "Look at Ling Feng, he's still injured, and he doesn't complain as much as you do!"
"Can he be the same? He is just a freak!"
Huang Shaotian muttered again.
At this moment, Ling Feng's eyelids twitched and he quickly warned: "Someone is approaching!"
"Huh?"
Long Ze Liyue was slightly stunned, "No way, how could there be someone here? Pursuing soldiers?"
"No, not pursuing soldiers."
Ling Feng shook his head, " The footsteps came from the end of the passage, not from behind us, but Moreover, the auras of those people are also very mixed, and each one is different, completely different from the corpse warriors of the Scourge Army."
Seeing Ling Feng speak in such detail, Long Ze Liyue frowned. Frowning, I listened carefully again, but still found nothing.
The alchemical haze here made her perception somewhat dull.
She looked at Ling Feng in surprise and couldn't help but ask: "How did you find out?"
"I told you he was a freak earlier, so you should believe him!" Huang Shaotian sighed softly, his eyes Looking at Ling Feng, he said in a deep voice: "It's really troublesome. There is a roadblock in front of me and there is no retreat behind. What should I do?"
Natalie and Longze Liyue also looked at each other. Ling Feng.
"The ones in front are not necessarily enemies, but if you go back, they are all enemies behind you."
Ling Feng shrugged, "How to choose, do you need to ask?"
< br>
"We have reached this point..." Long Ze Liyue shook his head and sighed, "Then we can only move forward!" In this way, the group moved forward for about half a day.
At this time, Longze Liyue finally sensed the other party's aura.
In other words, it is no longer induction.
A burst of noisy footsteps was approaching quickly.
The other party has obviously discovered them.
Furthermore, he should have sensed their presence faster than Longze Liyue.
This means that there must be psychic-level aliens among the other party.
However, because of Ling Feng, everyone was on guard and drew out their weapons and held them in their hands.
After a while, a group of people dressed in blue linen and holding sharp knives poured out from all directions, surrounding Ling Feng and his party.
Although the clothes on these people were made of different materials and styles, they all had a green leaf pattern on their left chests, so they were obviously not just any ordinary people.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the territory of the Aoba Gang!"
The leader is a man with a burly build and a hideous scar on his left cheek. Spreading all the way down. Although he was wearing a mask, he still exuded a sinister aura.
He widened his eyes and glared at Ling Feng and others.
"Qingye Gang?"
Long Ze Liyue frowned, as if he had heard of this name, but had no impression of it.
"Hmph, it seems you are outsiders?"
The scarred man smiled coldly and looked at Ling Feng and his group. When he saw the standard clothes on their bodies, his brows suddenly furrowed. .
“People from the Natural Disaster Army?”
For the lower-level areas, whether it is the Beiming Military Academy, Purdue Academy or the Priestly Academy, they are all members of the Natural Disaster Army. It doesn’t matter. Big difference.
The Longze family belongs to the clergy and is also a natural disaster army.
In order to avoid the search by the Scourge Army, they put on the costumes of the Longze family. As a result, there was a misunderstanding in this place.
“No, no, we are not from the Scourge Army!”
Huang Shaotian quickly shook his head and explained, “We got here because we were chased by the Scourge Army!”
"We are not from the Scourge."
Long Ze Liyue also quickly explained: "This is a misunderstanding!"
"Do you think I will believe you?" The scarred man snorted coldly, "The family crest on your clothes is in this abandoned mine. It’s everywhere, I really thought I was blind!”
After saying this, the man waved his hand, and then, the members of the Aoba Gang behind him rushed out, brandishing their swords.
For a time, with the flash of swords and shadows, the entire mine was filled with a chilling air.
“Look after Ling Feng!”
Natalie pushed Ling Feng towards Huang Shaotian, then waved her iron fist and rushed directly towards the crowd.
Long Ze Liyue sighed softly and could only passively fight back.
Although Ling Feng had the intention to take action, due to his physical weakness, he immediately felt dizzy as soon as he activated his magic power.
Although the power of the Seven Sins is strong, the side effects are really ridiculous.
He can only control one of the seven sins now. When he went on a rampage, he also had three seven sins: gluttony, rage and arrogance, which also led to his current half-dead appearance.
"Hey..."
Huang Shaotian supported Ling Feng, feeling bitter, "I didn't expect that we two great men would have to rely on women to protect us."
However, fortunately, Natalie and Longze Liyue is quite powerful.
Natalie's Seven Kills status is only at the magic level, but her punches are powerful and heavy. She can reduce ten levels with one force, and the wind of her fists is so chaotic that even a dozen people can't get close to her.
Longze Liyue seemed to have an invisible shadow beside him, and he was even more elusive when attacking. Although those members of the Qingye Gang had a numerical advantage, they could not get any advantage.
In order not to intensify the conflict, the two women also deliberately showed mercy and did not cause the death of the other party's personnel.
“We are not from the Natural Disaster Army, and we have no intention to be enemies with you!”
Long Ze Liyue pushed away an opponent with a palm and said in a deep voice: “If I really want to do this, It's just you who can stop the killer. Are you going to stop me?”
“Arrogant!”
As soon as he said this, the scarred man in the lead frowned, and actually went out in person, picked up a three-foot green-edged sword, and directly Killed Longze Liyue.
Once this person takes action, his power is completely different from that of other members.
Ling Feng's expression changed, and he quickly called out Shi Fang Destruction, blocked with one sword, and deflected the scarred man's sword edge.
Only a "dang" sound was heard, and the sword in the scarred man's hand was thrown away.
He looked at Ling Feng incredulously, with a complicated expression.
At this moment, Long Ze Liyue also came to her senses, and realized that if Ling Feng hadn't taken action, the sword just now would have pierced her left arm.
But seeing Ling Feng staggering slightly, she quickly supported Ling Feng and asked with concern: "Ling Feng, are you okay?"
Ling Feng shook his head and forced a smile, "It's okay, I I can still hold on."
After that, he stared at the scarred man with a sharp gaze, guarding against his next move.
However, the man's expression changed for a while, and finally he raised his hand to signal the other members to stop attacking.
“Your sword skills are truly superb!”
The scarred man took a deep breath, "Listen to what this girl called you just now, your name is Ling Feng?"
"So what?" Ling Feng looked grim.
"In the Martial Alliance, there is also a lineage with the surname Ling, who founded the Hao Yijian Sect, which is one of the three sects in the Martial Alliance. What is your relationship with the Hao Yijian Sect?" The scarred man said in a deep voice. asked.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng's eyelids twitched, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Humph, I didn't expect that I was recognized by you! Yes, I am the Hao Yijian Sect. ”
Natalie had told herself at the beginning that most of the people in the Second Disaster City had similar surnames to her own, and they gathered the remnants of the Eastern Kingdom before the Great Disaster.
It is not unusual for someone named Ling to be among these people.
When Ling Feng said that he was a disciple of the Hao Yijian Sect, the scarred man's expression changed as expected, and he even became a little more respectful.
Long Ze Liyue on the side seemed to have remembered something. Among the major dungeons, especially the bottom area of the Second Disaster City, the Martial Alliance was the most powerful and could even suppress the alchemy factory.
And the Martial League is composed of many ancient forces, and they unite together. Even if the regular army of the Natural Disaster Army comes, they will still have to give the Martial League three points.
Unlike several other dungeons, the Martial Alliance is the truly powerful force that dares to challenge the Scourge Army.
Of course, it’s only in the ground floor area.
As for the Qingye Gang, it should be a small gang under the jurisdiction of the Wumeng League.
However, it is a good thing to meet people from the Martial Alliance here. (End of this chapter)
