MTL - This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic-Chapter 319 Undercity

  Chapter 319 Undercity

  【You have come to the Undercity. 】

  【The Undercity is an underground city located in the northwest of the Astral Realm, under the permafrost of the plateau. It is divided into four floors according to the depth. 】

  【Because it is deep underground, there is no sunlight all year round. Only the countless fluorescent stones inlaid on the top rocks and a large number of artificial sunflower lanterns act as the light source here. Looking up, it looks like a bright starry sky that exists forever...】

[The Undercity is the main city of the dark elves, and the dark elves used to be the fallen people who committed crimes from various elf tribes. These sinners were abandoned by the tribe and suffered the curse of 'never seeing the sun', and were expelled underground After living in the long years, gradually formed its own civilization underground. Because the vast majority of exiles have been in contact with a kind of "amethyst" rock mine underground for many years, resulting in dark gray or purple skin, they are called dark elves by outsiders. 】

  【Because this was once a city of exile, the atmosphere of the Undercity is more open. The dark elves are not as exclusive as the forest elves and the sun elves, but actively accept the cultures of all races.

In addition to about 80% of the dark elves, there are also 10% of humans, 3% of dwarves, 2% of orcs, and 5% of vampire werewolves and other races in the dark city. It is rich in a variety of underground minerals and various races. Specialty, is a resource-based city with developed commerce...]

   Mu You came to this underground city for the first time through the teleportation array on the forest elf side.

   From the description, the race of dark elves did not exist in the first place, but a civilization that gradually formed after the elves expelled by the major elf tribes gathered together to keep warm.

  Even the queens of the dark elves have the suffix of "exile" after their names. It can be seen that they still haven't got rid of the identity of "sinners" in their hearts. Among the major elves, their status belongs to the lowest existence.

  In fact, Mu You didn't care about the order of status within the elves. After arriving in the Undercity, he immediately discovered one of the biggest advantages here: there is no daylight!

  Because it is deep underground, it is in the category of night all day long, so his vampire skin and jack-o-lantern can work all day, which is very comfortable.

  Mu You first controlled the character to walk around a few streets in the city, planning to find the special building on the side of the dark elves.

  The result disappointed him. This race does not seem to have a few exclusive buildings, and the things sold in the store are ordinary goods that can be seen in other places.

  There was nothing to see in the city, and Mu You didn't waste any time. He left the city directly, and went straight to the mission location, the Elf Temple.

  【You have come to the Dark Temple. 】

  【You can see that in front of the temple door ahead, there are a lot of abandoned copper and iron piled up, which looks like the wreckage of an alchemy device. 】

  【You stealthily observed from a distance for a long time, and confirmed that there is no one guarding nearby. Do you take the opportunity to approach the temple? 】

"yes."

  Although it is strange that this temple is unguarded, it has already arrived after all, so let’s try to find out the situation first.

   Mu You grasped the pocket watch and manipulated the character to step forward.

  【You remained invisible and approached the gate of the temple on tiptoe. 】

  【It was quiet along the road, and nothing happened. 】

  【Until you were about to step five meters in front of the temple gate, you suddenly felt a faint red light coming out of an abandoned iron block in front of you, quickly sweeping across your body! 】

  【The mountains of scrap metal piled up in front suddenly floated up automatically, and automatically combined into a spider-like self-propelled artillery and three combat robots during the rotation! 】

  【In the blink of an eye, the pile of scrap metal in front of you turned into a powerful mechanical force! 】

  【Overwhelming tongues of flame spew out from all the magic artillery, all of them attacking you. The roar of the artillery fire resounded around, and immediately attracted the attention of a large number of goblin engineers in the cave. 】

  【Small goblins drive all kinds of beast-shaped robots out of the cave, screaming and rushing towards you, but before they get close, you have already been smashed into **** under the intensive artillery fire...】

   Good guy!

  Mu You's eyelids twitched, he hurriedly pressed his pocket watch, returned to the time when the alarm had not been triggered five seconds ago, and then silently chose to back off.

  The technology of these goblins is advanced enough, Transformers have been produced, in addition to the automatic enemy detection system, automatic counterattack device, intensive strike firepower network... No wonder they dare not arrange a guard, these alchemy devices are much easier to use than manpower.

  The seemingly weakest entrance in front of me is indeed the most tightly defended. It is obviously impossible to break in from the front, so I have to think of other ways.

   Mu You clicked on the panel and glanced at the friend interface.

  The game characters of Lin Xue and Xiaoya are displayed online.

   Mu You clicked on 'Bi An Hua' and sent a message to Lin Xue.

  【Lamplighter: Online? 】

  【Bi An Hua: Well, on a mission, what's up? 】

  【Lamplighter: I just teleported here. 】

  【Bi An Hua: Oh? Are you already in the Undercity? 】

  【Lamplighter: Well, so I asked if you have a map here...】

  Lin Xue came many days earlier than him. Recently, she has been doing tasks in the Undercity. It is said that she has even found a place to live. She should be familiar with the environment here.

  【Bi An Hua: There is a map, but it is not very detailed. 】

  【Lamplighter: Send it to see. 】

   Within a few seconds, Lin Xue received a message on the Muyou forum that Lin Xue sent him a map photo.

   Mu You clicked on it, and it was really blurry.

  The whole is just a rough topographic map, and the handwriting in many places is already unclear.

   Mu You barely recognized it, and after looking for a long time, he finally confirmed the location of the Gloomy Temple.

  However, judging from the map, the temple is entirely wrapped in an underground mountain range, and the mountain range is surrounded by barren hills, and there is no other entrance marked.

   "You are going to the temple to do the task, right?" Lin Xue's news came again.

   "Yes." Mu You said. Lin Xue also knew about the map fragment task spawned by the horn of the elf.

   "Then I know a place...here."

  Lin Xue sent another picture, which was still the map just now, but a location was marked with a red cross, which happened to be at the foot of a certain mountain on the south side of the mountain where the temple is located.

   "What's wrong here?" Mu You asked.

"This is an ant nest. I went in and did a mission before. There is a rift inside. Although I haven't gone deep into the interior, but judging from the direction of the road, it should lead to the temple. If you want to sneak into the temple, maybe you can Try it from here, but you need to pass through the termite beast's lair first," Lin Xue said.

"That's not bad, I'll go and have a look." Mu You's eyes lit up. If it is an ant nest, there must be a lot of ant-type monsters inside. However, facing monsters is easier than facing the defensive organs at the entrance of the temple. It's okay. By the way, leveling.

   "Wait, I'll go too." Lin Xue said.

   "You didn't complete the task?" Mu You was surprised.

   "My current task is to 'kill monsters with a scythe 1000 times', and it's the same wherever I do it." Xue Lin wore a dark glasses expression.

   "Then I'll call someone."

  Ant nests are places where there may be a lot of monsters, it is best to organize some people to go in.

  Mu You went directly to pull up the black team from last time, Xiaoya, Lin Hai, and Pandaren.

   In addition, this time there is an extra powerful helper in the team: Shadow Wolf!

Shadow Wolf has been "fishing" in Dawn City for the past few days, fish in the physical sense, grilled fish all day long, and the stove fire for her has never stopped. Every time Muyou sees her, is it not Eating is on the way to find food.

  After her consumption of the fish meat collected before, the inventory has almost gone. Mu You is already having a headache for the follow-up food problem. At the same time, he hurriedly gave her the Hunger Gem, which finally greatly slowed down her eating frequency.

   But this time when Mu You found Shadow Wolf and told her that she needed her to fight, Shadow Wolf readily agreed.

  【"Termite beast?" After hearing the name of the creature you want to deal with, Shadow Wolf suddenly showed great interest. 】

  【You nod your head and ask Shadow Wolf if you know anything about the termite beast. 】

  【Shadow Wolf is drooling and telling you that she once tasted the meat of 'Queen Termite', and the meat is extremely delicious, which is a great tonic for her. 】

  【Queen of termites: Female ants with reproductive ability among termite beasts, there is only one in each ant colony, responsible for laying eggs and controlling the entire ant colony. The termite queen has a strong reproductive ability, but her lifespan is short, only seven months. When she dies, she will give birth to queen eggs. After the queen eggs absorb enough nutrients, they can grow into new queens. 】

   Mu You was ashamed to see it, but he dared to love it because of the food.

  But the text description below reminded him that the Queen of Ants should be very big, right? If this queen ant can be found, another wave of food reserves can be saved for the shadow wolf.

  【You and a few teammates came to the foot of Xiao Se Mountain. What appeared in front of your eyes was a deep cave with a height of more than two meters. Judging from the surrounding bones and slime traces, it looked like a lair of some kind of insect. 】

   Within half an hour, a group of six people, led by Lin Xue, found the termite nest.

"Termite beasts are poisonous ants. Not only will they be poisoned when they are hit, but they will also poison the killer when they are killed. Put on poisonous and resistant equipment in advance...Xiaohai will be under a lot of pressure later on, and the healing and detoxification spells All have to be prepared..." Muyou started a group chat here, and gave a few people a generalization of the characteristics of termites, mainly for Xiaoya and Lin Hai. The characteristics are well understood.

   "Oh, I see." Xiaoya replied simply.

   "Don't worry, master, everything is ready!" Lin Hai was eager to try. After the last time he passed the Rat Man, he knew that Mu You specially asked him to come to Kaihei, which must be an excellent opportunity to gain experience.

"let's start!"

   Mu You gave an order, and everyone in the game stepped into the ant nest.

  【You and your team members enter the anthill. 】

  【In front of you is a vast mountain rift. Caves are built on the mountainside of the rift. Downward is a bottomless abyss. The inward passages are narrow mountain roads and bridges. 】

  【The sound of your intrusion disturbed the owner in the cave, and soon, dense white soldier ants emerged from the rocks in all directions. Each of these termites is more than half a meter long, each of them opened their mouths wide, roared, and waved their forelimbs to climb towards the intruder...]

  【You hurriedly led the team forward, set foot on the narrow path on the mountain wall, occupied the favorable terrain first, and launched various magics on the approaching soldier ants...】

  The number of termites in this cave is more than expected. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to rely on five or six people to break through such a dense ant colony. Right now, it is mainly because of the advantage of the terrain.

Walking on such cliffs, it is much more difficult for termites to besiege them. They only need to protect the front and rear paths. Blockbuster.

  【During the roar of magic power, colorful magic radiance shines in the rift valley, and large pieces of termites continue to fall from the rock wall...】

  【You killed a level 7 soldier ant, experience +3, lifespan +1, and you were poisoned, losing 2 points of life every second...】

  【You killed level 8 soldier ants, experience +3, lifespan +1, get termite carapace*1...】

  …

  Battles are basically carried out automatically by the game characters. Anyway, the density of termites is high enough, and any spell thrown will definitely hit them. Everyone uses their own methods to harvest experience.

A series of kill reminders appeared quickly, and the toxin status on everyone was constantly superimposing. Lin Hai was so busy at this time that he almost never stopped dispelling and detoxification spells. He used them as soon as the cooling was good, and it was still difficult to keep up with the superposition of toxins. speed.

  The density of monsters here is even more exaggerated than last time in Phoenix City. After the battle stabilized, the rate of experience increase made several people dumbfounded, basically increasing at a rate of about 100 points per minute.

   Muyou didn't waste such an efficient opportunity to spawn monsters, and directly used all four experience cards saved in the past few days, and the experience income became five times, reaching a terrifying 500+ experience per minute.

Of course, such efficient spawning of monsters also brought a high amount of physical energy consumption. Even if the lifespan recovered by killing termites is included, it still cannot maintain a balance of payments. The lifespan of several people is at a rate of about one year per minute. falling.

   But even so, it is worth it.

  In the next hour when the experience card lasted, Mu You spent a total of more than 60 years of life, but earned more than 30,000 experience points, directly filled up the experience bar of level 15, and rose to level 16!

  Although the others were not as exaggerated as Mu You, each of them got around 6,000 experience, and they all completed an upgrade halfway through.

  The only pity is that such an efficient time to earn experience cannot last forever.

  After several people walked forward for a certain distance, a prompt popped up in the game.

  【You passed the cliff and came to a bridge. Only through this 100-meter-long bridge can you reach the other end of the mountain wall and continue to move forward. However, the middle of the bridge here is broken. 】

  【Countless soldier ants are already waiting at the broken bridge at the other end, densely stacked into a hill, completely blocking your way. 】

  【On the other side, the soldier ants on the mountain wall did not continue to attack, but swarmed in groups in the distance, surrounding you...】

  These ants seem to have become a little smarter after being killed too many times. They no longer charge brainlessly, but choose the tactic of surrounding but not fighting, preparing to trap them to death here...

   "Master, there is no way ahead!"

  Lin Hai's voice came from the headset.

   "You keep attacking, cover me to break through, and I will go find the queen ant." Mu You said.

   Now the movement here has probably attracted all the ants in the ant nest, and the defense on the queen's side will be empty instead. The queen is the core of an ant colony, as long as he can find where the queen is, these soldier ants must go back to rescue.
