379 Underground Abandoned City
"Little man? How did you know there is a little ghoul?" The pointed-mouthed monkey was stunned.
"Don't worry, how did I know there is a little ghoul, tell me what you know." Wutong asked step by step.[]
"Okay! OK!"
The guy with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek raised his hands and pushed it as if he was blocking something: "There is indeed a small ghoul who looks like a child... Of course, it may be a dwarf, a halfling or a thin dwarf, or a kobold, a goblin, a goblin... or other sperm creatures, you know, they are all about the same height, and after becoming a ghoul, they all look so ugly, I can't tell the race they had before their death..."
In this slick guy's description, Wutong was almost certain that the little ghoul he saw was turned into a pea, but according to his description, the small half-ling was not killed by the law enforcement officers and knights responsible for clearing the cemetery. He even saw it several times later... This guy saw the ghoul several times but was not eaten, which has to be said that he was lucky.
“When you have a lot of delicious grilled steaks, will you eat a piece of stinky salted fish?”
The guy with a sharp-mouthed monkey gill said indifferently, and compared his body as thin as a ghoul: "I think ghouls should think so too. Those white and fat rich men must taste much better than those of us poor people who are as salty fish."
Wutong felt a chill at this guy's metaphor: "When was the last time you discovered a small ghoul? Did you find it there again?"
"It's right there!"
The sharp-mouthed monkey cheek pointed to a wide open space not far from the slums. There is a pool with a small area, which seems to be a place where people in the slums use water.
Although the poor and the civilians think about it, their living benefits are completely different. No matter how poor the civilians live better than the poor, which has something to do with their living environment.
Although the construction of public facilities in civilian areas cannot keep up with the wealthy areas, the Ziyongquan, heating and cooling waterways, wastewater canals, and underground canals that flow through every household are still guaranteed. Unlike slums, they are completely large garbage dumps piled up by illegal buildings such as shacks. Don’t expect to have any living facilities. After all, slums themselves were not built in the residential area officially designated by Fairhaven, and the poor are not qualified to own land in the city.
Following the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks to the near the pool, Wutong found that this was just a reservoir of useless water used to temporarily store the cooling and dusty waterways flowing through the entire Fairhaven City.
The lava springs and groundwater that flowed out from the underground city of Antian, after passing through the entire Fairhaven in the lutian waterway, are naturally not very pure, but they do not affect people's use of it. After a brief storage in the reservoir, they will flow into the underground canal and finally flow from the underground into the Andele River, flowing into the distance.
The entire slum area is built around this reservoir that looks like a small lake. Wutong saw many poor people cleaning clothes in the reservoir, bathing dirty children, and even directly using water jugs to fetch water near the heating and cooling waterways to cook food or drink.
After observing around, Wutong was suspicious, "Pea Ghoul" ran here for what? The nearby area was very empty, and the ground was full of flat rocks. He didn't think "Pea Ghoul" would have the habit of taking a bath. When it was "alive", it didn't like to be clean, and often made itself dirty and gray... Although this has something to do with the profession of peas.
After expressing his suspicion, he smiled with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek: "Maybe it felt someone coming to kill it, so he ran into the underground abandoned city and hid?"
"Underground Waste City?" Wutong's eyes lit up after being stunned. Yes! The law enforcement knights and priests cannot completely eradicate the source of the epidemic. Is it related to the fact that a ghoul hides in the underground Waste City?
Fairhaven was not built in one day. According to historical records, Fairhaven had already existed thousands of years ago when humans landed on the continent of Covare and established the five major human states. However, at that time, it was still called a small settlement for fishing and hunting.
As the times passed, from a small settlement that was not even a village, it gradually expanded,,,[The big city finally became the capital of the time in the period, and was officially expanded into a level building. It was not until two thousand years ago that it was re-divided into five countries and became independent, and it was designated Ferhavan as, after two thousand years of expansion, it finally formed its current huge scale.
Therefore, it can be said that the current Fairhaven City was built on a large number of old cities and ruins. The old town areas that cannot be re-planned and renovated were buried by the gradually newly built new cities. Judging from the current altitude of Fairhaven City, the abandoned city under the new city is at least a few hundred meters deep!
If the ghouls get into the underground abandoned city, it will be difficult to find them. Even if the official mobilizes a large amount of manpower and material resources, it will be almost impossible to find a few lonely ghouls in the huge underground abandoned city.
However, it is not very important if the ghouls enter the underground abandoned city and find them, because no one knows what terrible and dangerous things are hidden in the underground abandoned city. There are ghost stories in the villages. Fairhaven, who has experienced thousands of years of war, has accumulated remains over thousands of years.
"Not right!"
Wutong suddenly remembered and asked suspiciously: "I remember the information said that in order to build a new city on the basis of the old city, a thousand years ago, the underground abandoned city was completely closed by the great masters of all ages with arcane techniques, and it was completely buried in the rocks that reached hundreds of feet? From where did it get into it?"
"Oh~ the noble mage noble master!"
The sharp-mouthed monkey's cheeks were filled with a hint of mockery: "The knowledge in the book does not represent the truth! You might not think that a huge place like the iron heads of a knight, is there no gap? It seems that you must have grown up in a very generous environment. Do you actually think that this world is as beautiful as singing in a hymn? The darkness of the 'underground world' in Fairhaven City is far beyond your imagination..." He shook his head, shut up and stopped talking.
Wutong was a little embarrassed by this guy. He was really a bit like what he said, "I have been living in a wealthy environment." He took out a gold coin and Wutong said, "Since you said that, you must know that there is an entrance to the underground waste city nearby. Take me there, and this gold coin is yours."
He glanced at the golden gold coins in Wutong's hand and said lightly: "It seems that you really want to destroy the ghoul... The gold coins are not needed. I have already obtained two gold coins from you, which is enough for me to live a happy life for a long time. If you can destroy the ghoul, it is also a good thing for us dirty poor people. Perhaps those ghouls who were chased by knights were blocked in the underground abandoned city and were hungry and could not find the rich master of fat nènnèn to eat, and would run out to eat some salted fish like me... Come with me!"
As he said that, he turned around and took Wutong, Ling Yue Shuangxue and others, walked towards a corner of the reservoir. After walking a few steps, he suddenly said in a very plain voice: "If you can find it, Master Mage, kill it!"
Wutong looked at his thin back and messy hair, and was a little suspicious. While walking towards the reservoir, he said without looking back: "... Among the few unlucky people who were bitten to death, there are my wife and children... Don't worry, they will not become ghouls, because I burned them to ashes and sprinkled them in the pool. Maybe they can be sent to a happy place by the water of the Andele River..."
Wutong and Ling Yueshuangxue and the others suddenly didn't know what to say. The "Aboriginals" of "Endless" are too real, which is sometimes difficult to accept. An indigenous who, if you don't ask him, may not even have a name, can actually lead to such a sensational plot, which makes Ling Yueshuangxue and Xiaoxiao start to have a foggy eyes.
"Do you have a fire?"
Take Wutong and the others to a corner of the huge reservoir, climbed down several huge steps. In front of a pile of gravel that had been cracked due to disrepair, the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks tried hard to open the pile of gravel, and struggled to lift up a huge stone, panting, "There was a crack leading to the underground abandoned city here, which was blocked by me. It was very dark inside. If there was no torch, it would be impossible to see anything..."
The huge stone was too heavy for the thin, almost skeleton-like sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks. I don’t know how he moved the huge stone here. Seeing how hard he had moved it, Wutong released one. A light blue Aoi mimicked it into a transparent big hand, easily grabbed the stone and threw it to the side.
Each level can only pick up the 0th level spell of 5 pounds of objects. After being blessed by Wutong's current state, it is enough to grab hundreds of pounds of heavy objects.
After the boulder was moved away, a narrow gap appeared, which was only two feet high and one foot wide. It was impossible for a burly adult to get in!
"Uh, fortunately, you don't look as fat as the other rich men. These two pastors are also very slender... But are you sure you and the two pastors plan to go through like me, like rats?"
The pointed-mouthed monkey cheeks looked at Wutong. Wutong itself belonged to a thin group of people with a small body, but if you want to penetrate the crack of the rock, you still have to lie down, turn your body sideways, and slowly wriggle before you can get in.
Wutong himself doesn't care, but the cracks on the stairs of this reservoir are very wet and muddy. It's really a bit embarrassing to lie down and crawl over it.
The most important thing is that there are very likely things like rats and cockroaches in this kind of cave. This is a creature that is even more terrifying than a dragon for girls.
After a smile, Wutong whispered, four bright balls of light floated up from his fingers, drilled into the cracks of the rocks, illuminating the dark space inside, making it look less terrible. Then Wutong looked at the pointed-mouth monkey cheeks, chanted another spell, and threw it on the pointed-mouth monkey cheeks. Amid his astonished and panicked screams, he, who was about the same height as Wutong, quickly shrank down like a leaky balloon, and shrank from the original one hundred and seventy centimeters in proportion to a villain who was more than 80 centimeters tall!
Level 1 change spell: It can change a person's height and body size to half its original size.
Immediately afterwards, Wutong took out a pinch of grinded fine grey iron powder... This is the necessary spell material to release. Although it is very strange, it is a necessity. Compared with this thing, this thing is quite normal. Some spells actually use dry goose dung...
After gently scattering the iron powder into the air, the wutong slammed and pointed it into a shiny Mars. In the flash of Mars, he sang a few more times, making Ling Yue Froshen and Xiaoxiao smaller, and finally it was himself.
After looking at the shorter people, he muttered with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek: "It's great to be a master. If you have a light ball that can be illuminated, you can save money on buying candles, and you can also turn yourself into this way, so the food looks much more!"
Wutong was amused and cried, and the spell was not used to save candles. After everyone's size became smaller, the crack of the rock looked much larger. You just need to bend down to easily penetrate. Four balls of light circling around them, illuminating the space behind the crack of the rock. This was an abandoned underground canal, extending endlessly to both ends in the dark, and I don't know where to lead.
The width and height of the underground channel were enough to move freely here like the barbarians, so Wutong waved her hand to remove everyone's body and returned to her normal body shape.
"To this side, a mile and a half is the underground drainage reservoir leading to the Andele River. There are no forks on the road. I don't think ghouls would like water too much."
The pointed-mouthed monkey pointed to another direction: "This is the passage to the abandoned city, and you need to pass two forks..."
As he said that, he pulled out a two-foot-long wooden stick from there, held it in his hand, and walked forward. Wutong said suspiciously: "Are you going to take us there?"
The pointed-mouthed monkey was stunned: "Or do you have any magical spells that can point out the way? So you don't need me as a guide?"
"Aren't you afraid of danger? I'm?"
Wutong was surprised that this guy who looked very slippery and deceitful: "Maybe you will encounter a ghoul. If you are bitten, you will die!"
He grinned, and lured his teeth that were not so clean and neat, and smiled indifferently: "Since they bit my wife and children to death, of course they can bite me to death... so that we can reunite, right? Besides, death is far less terrible to poor people like us, as much as a salted bean left for dinner."
As he said that, he began to move forward, and a very plain voice produced a buzzing echo in the closed space of the underground channel: "Let's go! I didn't lead the way for you for two gold coins and one silver coins. Of course, I won't charge any more... Do you know my profession? A thief, you have to know about the underground world like you. You will need me as a guide."
Wutong and the others looked at each other and had to follow. It seemed that this guy was the key to the mission. The core consciousness master was too rapeseed. The mission environment arranged was too coincidental?
What's the name?"
Wutong couldn't help asking, a NPC with a background story should be worth asking about its name. Since we have to work together for a while, we can't always call him "sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks." Although it's just a call in my heart.
"name?"
He looked back at Wutong strangely and said in surprise: "Young Master, is this important? I thought the nobles would not ask me what the name of a villain like me is. You are so strange... I mean, the nobles usually use a name: a villain. Well, you can call me 'Wood', you are such a strange kind noble."
He took Wutong and the others and walked a long way along the underground channel. Apart from the dampness and smelling bad, it was not too dirty. The ground was a layer of soil, and some plants that could grow without sunlight were covered with the ground. A large number of strange bugs and normal rats were running around here.
This also caused Ling Yue Shuangxue's screams to stop along the way. Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all because of the "cartoon vision" privileges of underage players. She hugged the little monkey and walked by Wutong with great enthusiasm.
Wutong rubbed her ears, turned her head helplessly and said to Ling Yueshuangxue, who was pressed tightly behind him: "If you call me that, I guess the ghoul will be scared to death by you... It's so strange! You are not afraid of such a huge violent rat, and you are not afraid of such ugly zombies, why are you afraid of small bugs and rats?"
Ling Yue Shuangxue, who was holding the cloak of Sharoman Snake tightly, was almost caught under the cloak and said weakly, "I can beat the violent rats, I can't beat these little mice."
Sweat, well, these little rats who escaped quickly are indeed harder to aim than huge and fierce rats.
Chapter completed!
