From the moment Brian stepped out of the Wizzlan Wizard Tower, he was once again in the deep passages of the Underdark.
Here, the dim bacterial light barely illuminates the surrounding darkness, making the ancient and mysterious passage appear even more profound and unpredictable.
Brian walked aimlessly, his mind constantly echoing the mission given by Wizlan.
The former chief mage Wizzlan has long found the key to quelling the turmoil in the Underdark.
This method that everyone regards as an impossible solution to the problem is actually simple and ingenious - re-arranging a powerful ritual in the area where the radiation energy of the earth's veins in the Underdark converges to the extreme.
This ritual is not only a counterattack against the demon lords, but also the key to balancing power.
Its core logic is exactly what is called "fighting magic with magic".
Brian knew in his heart that every step he took now was crucial.
Because the success or failure of this ritual is not only related to the tranquility of the Dark Territory, but also whether countless creatures living on the ground can be protected from the intrusion of the demon lord.
He must find the area with the strongest radiation energy of the earth's veins, and perform a ritual there to completely seal the demon lords back to their abyss.
The most important thing is that this ritual is driven by a unique magic weapon called the "Heart of Darkness".
Its creation requires a series of rare and mysterious ingredients.
First of all, you need an intact purple insect egg that has not yet hatched. It is like a gem that breeds endless energy, shining with an alluring luster. This egg will guide powerful physical energy and is the key to the ritual. an integral part.
Next, you need the beholder’s main eye.
This is a creature with powerful magical defense capabilities. Its main eye has the magical power to break through magical defenses. After hunting this main eye, the ritual will be able to overcome all magical powers.
Additionally, six feathers from six different angels are required.
These feathers represent the authority of the celestial realm. Their purity and holiness will be used to anger those evil creatures. Each feather exudes sacred light, as if the blessing of an angel has descended on the world.
In addition, the ritual also requires the heart of a giant bull demon.
This heart contains the power that goes deep into the heart of a demon and can influence and control other demons. Its existence will make the ritual more mysterious and powerful.
The ritual also requires a mysterious plant called "Ghost-faced Mushroom", which only sprouts on specific creatures, such as the six-armed snake demon, the Balor Balrog or the giant bull demon.
These mushrooms are called devil mushrooms and are the key to seducing the demon lord.
The unique aura they exude will lead the ritualist closer to the location of the demon lord.
Finally, the ritual requires a few drops of the demon lord's blood or thick water.
These bloods will serve as a link between the ritual and the demon lord, making the summoned demons more real and powerful.
In order to greatly increase the success rate of the ritual, Brian also needs to go to the ancient city of Orens to find the spider wizard's spell book and notes about the ritual, so as to better understand and execute it. ceremony.
As for how to obtain each piece of material, there is a specific area, and it is not that easy to find. The only thing that makes Brian feel lucky is that Wizlan has locked down the possible source of obtaining these materials and told How he hunted for these precious materials.
For example, the purple insect eggs and the beholder's main eye need to go to the insect-wrapped maze, and the search for angel feathers and demon hearts needs to be carried out in the underground maze. And the key spell book, obviously, it Hidden in a corner of ancient Orens, the city of spiders. As for the way to obtain the ghost-faced mushroom and the blood of the demon lord, Brian can only rely on himself.
The Ghost-faced Mushroom is easy to talk about. Brian believes that the myconid elders in the Lightless Woodland can definitely help him come up with a solution, and the blood of the demon lord may really make him... It takes killing an incarnation of a demon lord in the Underdark.
Without any further delay, Brian set off immediately.
His first destination was the Worm-Tangled Trail.
In the northern part of the Underdark, an intricate underground tunnel spreads out like a maze, as if it were trapped by giant purple insects in the earth and rocks. This is the famous Worm-Tangled Path, which winds like a maze. The twists and turns are like a huge underground honeycomb, spanning hundreds of miles.
Brian has been there before and has some impression of it.
Walking through the insect-tangled paths, you can also feel a mysterious atmosphere, as if every step you take is stepping on ancient soil and the precipitation of time.
The purple insects build their own nests inside, and their existence seems to have become the guardians and masters of this land.
These huge purple insect eggs have not yet hatched and have become treasures that adventurers are scrambling to find.
According to rumors, a mysterious place known as the Great Annihilation Field is hidden in a crack deep in this maze.
It is rumored that a powerful beholder lives in the Great Oblivion Field.
If he cannot obtain the main eye from Lolthun or Zerzax, Brian can go deep along the Insect-Tangled Path, explore the mysterious Great Oblivion Field, and look for the beholders nesting there.
Brian stepped into the intricate and insect-ridden path, and every step he took was based on a rich history and mysterious atmosphere.
The radiation from the ley lines at the edge of the tunnel was significantly weakened, as if this area was protected or disturbed by some ancient power.
He stood at the entrance and felt not only the weakened earth energy, but also the unknown and danger contained here.
Recalling the game world in his previous life, when he first set foot in this maze-like area, Brian might have been afraid of the purple insect's lair, but now, his state of mind has undergone earth-shaking changes. His eyes flickered. With confidence and determination, I am no longer afraid of facing this confusing path.
Brian spread with his powerful mental power, spreading to every corner around like ripples on the water.
As his thoughts moved slightly, he seemed to be able to feel the mysterious power hidden in the dark approaching him.
Soon, he found the location of the purple worm's hatchery.
Immediately afterwards, Brian softly chanted a spell, and with a flash of dazzling light, the teleportation spell was activated.
The next moment, he was already in the hatchery, facing the eggs in front of him.
The whole process was smooth and fast, and Brian easily obtained an insect egg as Wizzlan's first material.
Everything around him seemed to be under his control, and his figure was particularly prominent and mysterious in the mysterious and dark insect-ridden path.
After getting rid of the purple insect eggs, Brian didn't waste any time and began to follow Wizlan's instructions to find the great annihilation field hidden deep in the insect-ridden maze, which was the beholder's lair. (End of this chapter)
