Chapter 431 The Underdark
‘What on earth is going on? ! '
In the dark underground tunnel, the smoke that Nohir transformed into circled in place for several times in a frantic manner, and then changed back to its original form, covering his helmet with both hands irritably. If If he hadn't still had the ability to control himself and be on guard against the dangers here, he might even have shouted out loud!
‘This damn ghost place is too big! I've been floating here in smoke form for more than three hours! For more than three hours, I didn't get out of this tunnel! If I couldn't feel that I was still going down, I would have thought that I didn't see the fork in the road at any corner and went to the wrong place! '
Yes, this is the biggest reason that makes Nohill crazy and helpless. Below the Tower of the Moon is a colony of illithids, but the actual distance between this ghost place and the Tower of the Moon is , but it really made Nohill realize what it means to run to death in Wangshan.
Obviously in the game, you just jump down from the hole on the top floor of the tower, and then there is a cutscene. But when Nohir actually walked through it, he realized how much time was saved in that cutscene. distance!
‘Calculate the time, it should be almost eight o’clock in the evening now, right? After several hours of searching, we didn't even get out of the tunnel. Do I really want to continue searching now? '
Nohir set off from Eltoril early in the morning and arrived at the Land of the Curse of Shadows. It took several hours just to travel, and then he was busy at the End of Light Inn. For a while, I came here to collect intelligence, but now the day is about to pass, and Jaheira and the others are waiting for me to go back. If I continue to search, who knows how long it will take that day?
He doesn't have any skills like the Return Mantra. In this dark tunnel, if something unexpected happens, it will be very difficult for Nohir to escape even if he wants to.
Although his demonic incarnation of Kanbiweng can perform the seven-ring alien teleportation directly to hell at any time, this thing can only allow him to go to hell. If he wants to use this method to come back from hell, then he must leave the main body. Wherever he was in the material plane, he would be there when he came back. There was no actual value in avoiding danger. This meant that he had to spend time finding another way to return to this world, but now he had no time to waste.
'...No, I can't retreat. What is before me now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This may be the only opportunity to directly injure or even kill the main brain before it is fully developed. Even if We can’t wait until tomorrow. Jaheira and the others are indeed powerful teammates, but they definitely don’t have the ability to face the Chosen God and the Mastermind directly. This matter can only be left to me. '
Nohir unconsciously looked at his raised left hand. Under the gauntlet, his index finger was wearing the legendary ring that could help him resist the psychic damage of the master brain. There was no such thing. , no matter how many others come, it will be useless.
‘Just keep going. ’
Nohir clenched his fists, and then forced himself to concentrate and put his energy on business. Then, Nohir began to observe the surrounding environment again.
The circular tunnel he is currently in has no light at all, but with his racial advantage, Nohill can still see the specific appearance of the surroundings.
‘You can’t notice the specific surrounding environment in the form of mist, but you didn’t expect that this tunnel is actually composed like this? '
Stones, there are stones everywhere. Now Nohir's feet and all around are solid rocks. Occasionally, you can see some cone-shaped stalactites, but this underground rock formation obviously will not Such circular channels occur naturally. This tunnel was probably made by some very large creature when it was drilling underground. It was then discovered by the Mind Flayer and Catheric, so they simply expanded and renovated it to communicate between the surface and the underground.
‘A creature that can drill out of such a tunnel... a purple worm? Shark lizard? Or a burrowing monster? Time has passed so long that I can no longer tell what kind of monster left this road, but I can be sure that the one who has the ability to do this is definitely one of the above three monsters, and these three monsters , no matter what kind of monsters drilled this path, they all revealed a very crucial piece of information to me. ’
That is, these monsters all have a very unified habitat. This passage is probably connected to the underground world, that is...
‘The Underdark! These monsters are unique to the dark hell! Damn it! I should have thought of this a long time ago. I have already known about the mind flayer's nesting habits and even walked into this ridiculously long tunnel myself. I actually didn't realize this until now! The information in the game misled me! '
Yes, the situation is very clear. The illithid colony that Nohir thought he built not far below the Moonrise Tower is actually not directly below the Moonrise Tower at all. !
The real place where the colony was established was actually deep in the Underdark! The reason why Catheric was able to discover these mind flayers was simply because these mind flayers occupied the Moonrise Tower through this tunnel before Catheric returned! And after Kessrick completely cleaned out the mind flayers in the tower, he followed this tunnel and discovered the mastermind and the illithid community connected to the Moonrise Tower!
‘Tsk, this is really, really troublesome. The good illithid colony exploration plan is now going to be changed into a dark hell adventure. This is not good. ’
Withdrawing the palm that was resting on the rock, Nohir cast his gaze into the deeper darkness.
Compared to the illithid colonies with known risks, the Underdark is much more complex than that place. Not only is it full of all kinds of dangerous animals and plants, but the Underdark is also full of special creatures that are unique to this dangerous world. Magic: [Leyline Radiation].
Leyline radiation is a very unique magic wave that spreads throughout the Dark Territory. Its specific function is to distort teleportation and prophecy magic. In other words, in the Dark Territory, Nohill He couldn't even transform into a Kanbi Weng and then use the seven-ring spell that came with him to teleport to another world to escape.
This undoubtedly greatly increased the risk of his trip. In addition to this, Nohill even speculated that even if he finally found his original destination, it might not be as he had speculated before. so optimistic.
Maybe the Mind Flayers did have a serious fight with Kesric, and they lost many community members because of this, but if the location where the mastermind is now is really in the Underdark, then the mastermind There will never be a lack of dangerous guards of all kinds around you.
