"I don't know if I'm dazzled or if I remember it wrongly, but it seems that the Dungeon Invasion Scoreboard has changed."
"I'm sure Luo Ling's score was 74192 before, but now it's 74193.
" "Why do monsters only attack the Oak Territory? Are we unworthy?"
"How strange!"
"Even if the monsters attack the city, the score should increase wildly, why only 1 point?"
"Could it be that he encountered a fish that slipped through the net and solved it easily? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense at all."
"Do you think it's possible that he went to the dungeon to scout the enemy?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. But I think this speed is too fast. How can he dare to leave the territory boldly? What if he is attacked when he leaves, his home will be gone!"
At this time, the players had stayed up all night and almost no one slept. They were originally complaining about the dungeon monsters not attacking the city on time, but now they began to care about Luo Ling's whereabouts.
The top ten masters in the ranking, including the top few in strength, were caught off guard.
David from Yellowstone Territory: "I just received the settlement of survival points and he has already arrived at the underground passage. This is quite efficient!"
Sophia from Ted Territory: "I originally wanted to catch up on some sleep, but now I find that others have already gone on an adventure, so I am also ready to set off."
Her personal strength ranking is quite high. It is not easy to rank seventh among billions of players. Now she naturally does not want to be outdone by others.
Park Yongjun from Hanjiang Territory said jokingly: "From this point in time, I can only say that Luo Ling must have a very remarkable mount, or the underground passage is right next to the territory, otherwise it would not be so fast."
Sergei from Mining City Territory agreed: "He must have a better mount, otherwise the second-level unicorn would not be auctioned. I guess he must have subdued the unicorn."
Wang Hai from Penglai Territory called Luo Ling in the group and said: "If there is danger, you must escape as soon as possible. We will always pay attention to you in the group chat."
Gu Mingzhi and Evans did not speak, but they also sorted out various affairs in the territory and then went to the underground passage.
The players discussed for a long time but could not get any real feedback.
Just when they stopped, Luo Ling's dungeon invasion score suddenly began to soar!
...
"These kobolds are too stubborn. The other monsters are preparing to attack the city, but they are mining here."
Luo Ling originally thought that the mine tunnel had been abandoned, but when he came in, he found kobolds.
The kobolds that had frightened him countless times before were no longer a big deal. They were easily solved and then a pile of ore spoils were obtained.
Volcanoes bring magma from the center of the earth to the surface, and various metal mines and gem mines are formed in the process. At present, he has received a lot of gem ores, such as agate, diamond, crystal, etc.
"Do you want this part of the ore?" Luo Ling has always been a generous person. Even if the kobolds were killed by himself, he still gave half of the ore to the elves.
Enoch shook his head, "No, take it all if you need it."
Each of them has limited space packages, and they look down on ordinary ores. If it is a gem of the entry level, it is almost the same.
Unlike these elves who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, Luo Ling has a whole territory to support. He directly put the ore into the game package and didn't miss any of them.
Heidi looked at him in surprise. The capacity of this space package is really large.
After Luo Ling put away the items, he continued to lead the way. He and the elves had to bend down from time to time to pass through these narrow passages.
After a long circle, Luo Ling pointed to the opening not far away and said, "It should be connected to the underground passage over there. I killed many monsters here. Maybe there are still sentries or patrols now, so be careful."
The underground mines gathered together in front of him. There were densely packed white bones under the hall, and there was a faint fishy smell in the air.
Next to these bones were the equipment and items they exploded. The Storm Dragon Phantom killed many monsters here.
It was indescribable that the corpses turned into bones in just a short time.
Luo Ling covered his mouth and nose with a silk scarf, and his spiritual perception was fully opened to detect the dangerous situation around him.
The elves who were traveling with him all frowned, as they were obsessed with cleanliness. However, the piles of bones in the hall not far away were really scary.
Enoch used the Eagle Eyes skill on himself, which not only allowed him to see things in the dark, but also allowed him to see very clearly. After scouting for more than ten seconds, he whispered, "There are traces of gnawing on those bones, and there may be carnivorous creatures. Everyone, be prepared for battle and try to kill those creatures as quickly as possible."
At first, Luo Ling thought that it was a lich or a necromancer who turned the corpse into an undead frame, but now that he found out that it was a living monster, he felt much more relaxed.
He suggested, "I'll summon the hellhound to detect the specific situation."
"That's fine, it's just right for it to lead us to find the way." It just so happened
that none of the group knew which direction to go next, so it was okay to let the hellhound find the way by smell.
After the skill was activated, two two-headed hellhounds as strong as calves appeared one after another. As soon as they appeared, they excitedly pawed the ground with their claws and stretched out their tongues to lick Luo Ling, which was quite familiar.
Enoch asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel that these two hellhounds were summoned yesterday? Can you summon the same creature repeatedly?"
Logically, this kind of summoning should be random, and different hellhounds should be summoned each time. Just like when magicians summon water elements, the water element summoned each time is not the same, unless they have signed a summoning agreement with him.
Now Luo Ling's summoned hellhounds seem to have been fixed, and they have always been these two lively and jumping hellhounds.
Luo Ling touched each head of the two-headed hellhounds, without favoring one over the other and omitting any of them. He was also very puzzled because the skill introduction did not explain it in detail. Anyway, the summoned creatures will not die in the true sense, and even if they are defeated, they will just return to the original world.
Yesterday, they were left by Luo Ling to mislead the pursuers. Until the end of their summoning time, the monsters in the dungeon did not realize that there were two more traitors among them.
"Go over and scout the situation in the hall. Notify us immediately if there is any danger."
After receiving the order, the two two-headed hellhounds quickly took their legs and ran towards the hall. While running, they sniffed the air with their flaming eyes and sensitive noses.
They used their claws to gently pat the bones open without any interest, and then barked twice, and black mice emerged from under the bones!
"Squeak..."
These black mice were bigger than adult heads, and they were hidden in the darkness at first and could not be found at all. Now they were densely packed from the skeleton and under the cracks in the rocks like a tide.
In the pitch-black environment, countless pairs of red eyes suddenly appeared.
Luo Ling got goose bumps all over his body. These rats were not within 30 meters of him, and his spiritual perception skills could not detect them at all.
The two hellhounds were also frightened and took two steps back.
A single rat is definitely not their opponent, but anything will change qualitatively once the number increases.
Fortunately, the rats recognized the hellhounds and regarded them as companions, so they retreated like the tide and continued to hide.
"We must clean up these rats, otherwise once a rat disaster occurs, it will be difficult for us to resist, and even the forest will be destroyed!" Luo Ling fully believes in the reproductive capacity of these rats. If we don't take action, they are likely to reproduce generation after generation.
After eating up the food prepared underground, it is completely predictable that they will rush to the surface along the passage.
Defense towers such as wooden arrow towers basically have no effect on these little guys. Only special defense towers such as elemental towers can kill them on a large scale.
Once the territory is attacked by a rat tide, these races that are good at gnawing and digging holes may drill through the city wall and run into the territory to cause damage.
If the city wall is lost, the defense towers standing high on the city wall will definitely be affected, and may even collapse!
The monsters following the rat tide will naturally be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, easily flattening the human territory.
Rat tides are hard to defend against, and maybe they can dig holes from the ground and completely avoid the attack of the defense towers.
Luo Ling just wanted to know whether he was facing an isolated case or a common situation.
Enoch's expression was very serious. He replied, "It is best to use fire magic to deal with rat tides. These rats seem to have a certain degree of intelligence. They did not attack the hellhounds. It must have been caused by the underground city forces."
"I remember that there was a rat plague recorded in history books. Although it did not happen in our Dusk Forest, they swept across half of the Vana continent, causing great suffering to the people, destroying many human, dwarf, and orc kingdoms, and then collectively went to the seaside to commit suicide." Heidi added, "Maybe this is one of their killer weapons."
Sometimes the destructive power of a giant dragon is not as good as these weak creatures.
Luo Ling signaled the two-headed hellhounds to run around the hall. He wanted to see how many passages needed to be blocked. He must not let these rats escape.
"One, two... seventeen, eighteen!"
Everyone present had a headache. There were only ten of them in total. It was unrealistic to want to block so many gaps.
Just as the hellhounds were running around, several ratmen carrying fluorite came out of the dark cave and asked humbly, "Are you two adults lost? Why did you break into the place where we domesticate our little cuties?"
Although one is humanoid and the other is in beast form, the strength of the hellhound clan is much stronger than that of the ratmen, not to mention the two-headed hellhounds.
The elves could not understand the words of the ratmen, but Luo Ling heard it clearly. Those rats were indeed specially raised by the underground city forces!
Letting the ratmen use the bodies of their dead companions to raise rats is a waste utilization for the underground city. When food is extremely scarce, they will not eat the corpses of their own kind at most, but they will happily eat the corpses of other races.
For tens of thousands of years, they have treated each other as food. Even if they are forcibly gathered together now, they cannot change their living habits.
The hellhound barked twice, asking the rats for directions.
They are used to lying. Yesterday, they lied and led a large number of patrol guards in the dungeon in circles.
The rats believed it and believed that the hellhound had lost its way and accidentally came here. They pointed to the passage leading to the dungeon in the distance, and then they were drowned by several fireballs from the hellhound.
Ding, congratulations to the player for killing the lv21 ratman, gaining 50 experience points and 2 dungeon invasion points!
The three ratmen contributed 150 experience points to Luo Ling, which is better than nothing.
With the sneak attack of the hellhound, the rats had no expectations. Their own strength was poor, not to mention that they were attacked face to face by the lava fireballs.
The ratman turned into ashes and fell down. The elf rangers and mages on Luo Ling's side also quickly drilled out of the hidden area and guarded different passage positions according to the plan just now.
As a long-lived race, almost everyone in the elves is a magician, but their skills vary.
They took the grease that Luo Ling urgently purchased from the trading market and poured it around the hall, then used fireball to quickly ignite the grease, forming a wall of fire.
Heidi and other magicians used spells to launch range attacks, and a shower of meteors and fire fell in the hall! After
the elf ranger set the fire, he retreated to the side of the magician, then pulled the bow and arrow to kill the rats that broke out of the wall of fire.
They all knew that using fire attack was the best method. Luo Ling stood in front of the passage with the eternal wooden cane and began to cast spells.
As a quasi-legendary equipment, the skill of the sharp thorn vine of the eternal wooden cane was also strengthened. The range can be freely controlled at any place within a distance of 200 meters, and the characteristics of the sharp thorn vine follow some of the characteristics of the eternal wooden cane, which is now equivalent to following the characteristics of the world tree.
That is, it is not afraid of water and fire, and is extremely tough. Even if it is gnawed by a mouse, it is difficult to be bitten off at the moment. As long as the thorn vine is not bitten off in the first bite, it will grow a terrifying thorn vine to kill and devour the prey as nutrients to continue growing!
Those thorn vines are completely in a killing mad state, and each thorn vine is full of rat corpses. The rat's teeth bite the thorn vine deeply, but the thorns on the thorn vine make them all become nutrients and continue to grow.
There is a limit to the number of rats, but there is no limit to the growth of the thorn vine after sucking blood.
In the end, the number of rats killed by the elves is not as many as Luo Ling, a druid!
At this moment, Luo Ling's game panel has been refreshed, and continuous reminders pop up from the panel. At the same time, the points of the dungeon invasion are increasing rapidly.
Ding, congratulations to the player for killing the lv8 sharp-toothed rat, gaining 2 experience points and 01 dungeon invasion points! Ding
, congratulations to the player for killing the lv11 sharp-toothed rat leader, gaining 6 experience points and 02 dungeon invasion points!
He took the time to look at his game panel, and knew the names of these rats, and also understood their levels.
Sharp-toothed rats are generally between level 6 and 10. After breaking through level 10, they become leaders. Currently, there is no rat king among this group of sharp-toothed rats. If there is a rat king, these rats may unite instead of being a mob like this without rules.
Assisting in battles also gives energy and rewards. Monsters with too low levels originally have little experience, and now the part allocated to them is even less, which can basically be ignored.
When the last rat in spiritual perception was killed by the thorny vine, the whole area was filled with a strong smell of burning.
They didn't dare to let the smell spread. They had already used magic circles to bind the smell here. Now everyone held their breath for fear of smelling those smells.
Luo Ling commanded the vines to gather all the bodies of the sharp-toothed rats into a small hill, and then quickly decomposed them to completely destroy the bodies.
As for the items that exploded, there were basically very few, so he didn't look at them carefully and put them into the game package, and then walked quickly towards the location of the hellhound.
"Hurry up, my magic circle can only last for a maximum of 2 hours. If someone destroys it, it will immediately become invalid." Heidi urged. She was almost suffocating now, and her whole face was flushed.
When the two hellhounds saw that they were following them, they quickly led the way.
Enoch praised, "You are the druid with the strongest attack and lethality I have ever seen!"
Druids have always given people the impression of assistance and treatment. In battle, at most they would turn into bear form and fight hard. Now Luo Ling cleverly uses various skills, and the effect is no less than that of the elf magician.
"Thank you for the compliment, I still have a long way to go before I can be the strongest." Luo Ling is very busy now and basically has no time to chat with the captain.
He followed the team and walked quickly forward, while telling the others about his encounter in the group chat on the game panel.
Luo Ling, Oak Territory "Friends who want to enter the underground passage to explore, please pay attention to see if there are creatures like sharp-toothed rats in your area. I have ratmen here who specialize in breeding sharp-toothed rats, and they may want to use this to start a rat tide. Please be safe. It is not convenient for me to check the messages now. You can update your situation in the group. I will check and reply when it is convenient later."
It was really troublesome to do several things at the same time. Luo Ling did not care about the replies from the group members and directly quit.
Then he received several more experience and points message reminders for assisting in the battle.
The two-headed hellhound was simply a face-swiping, and no monster suspected that there was a spy among them.
Every time I asked for directions, I was attacked by the hellhound, but sometimes their sneak attacks were not fatal, and the elf ranger needed to make up an arrow.
In the process of going around, I was extremely lucky that I did not encounter the two powerful races of dark elves or trolls.
When they walked out of the passage, they suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
The underground world was not completely dark as imagined!
It was open, spacious, and full of depth. The stone walls were covered with glowing mosses, and on the ground were some crushed dry plants.
The air was damp and cold, but not dull, much better than the gloomy and depressing feeling in the passage.
Enoch and his party had never been to the underground world, and now they walked along the stone wall inward with extreme caution. They bent their bodies one by one, and their movements were light and silent.
Heidi set up a silent magic circle behind a stone, so they dared to stop and check out this underground world.
"It's too cold and damp, and it's a little different from the underground world described." Enoch went back last night and read the historical records of the elves. Many of their ancestors had participated in the battle to expel the dark elves, and the most intense battles almost all came from the underground world.
At that time, the underground world still had the heat of magma, and the coldness only existed in a few places.
"Is it because we are in different areas? Let's go and see the rest of the area and explore the dungeon."
Luo Ling looked at the passage he and others came in through, and he answered self-deprecatingly, "Is it because we took another passage? We were actually tricked by a little monster yesterday."
"Don't worry about what happened yesterday, the most important thing is now." Enoch reached out and touched the moss, and said to himself, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this moss."
Heidi and other elves echoed one after another, and they all felt that the glowing moss looked very problematic.
As a druid, Luo Ling is very sensitive to plant life. These creatures that rely on light and oxygen are gradually withering and dying in front of him!
"They look like they lack vitality and are about to die."
After saying that, he gently input a little bit of natural magic, and then the moss immediately became much brighter, and even the color became deeper.
Luo Ling quickly pulled it off and put it back in the game package to avoid being exposed by light or natural magic.
Almost all of these plants nearby are dying or dead, and there is almost no biological breath.
"You guys stay here, I'll fly up to see how high the sky is." Luo Ling did something bold. He had to test the height of the sky so that he would be more confident if he needed to escape later.
Enoch stopped him and said, "It's too dangerous. There must be other creatures in the sky here. Let me go. I should be stronger than you."
"No, your horned eagle can't hide itself. It will be very obvious after flying up, and it is very likely to be discovered."
Luo Ling pointed to the area where all the moss had withered not far away and said, "It's dark there, and I can perfectly blend in with my mount. You guys should recover your strength first, we are going to find Black Dragon City."
The dead volcano where the Kobold Mine Tunnel is located is far away from the passage of Mount Alda, so no one is sure how far this place is from Black Dragon City.
Enoch has seen his various magical abilities. Now that the human lord has volunteered to try it, he chooses to believe him and silently casts the Eagle Eye Technique on the other party to see farther.
Luo Ling took the baby dragon off the top of the eternal wooden cane, and the little dragon immediately grew larger, with wings attached to its back. It didn't need this thing at all to drive away the dark clouds and fly up quietly.
There was no fluctuation of any magical elements. The dark clouds were the instinctive condensation of the Eastern Dragon. Even Enoch and the others could hardly see Luo Ling and the baby dragon in the black fog.
He knew that the top of the sky would definitely be made of stone, so he didn't dare to fly too fast and carefully controlled the baby dragon to rise.
Occasionally, a plant appeared in the cracks of the rugged rocks. Luo Ling collected these mushrooms and saved them as seeds to see if they could be planted in the mines in the territory.
When he flew almost two thousand meters high, he finally saw the stalactites extending downward.
"Hey, the ceilings here are high and low. If you don't pay attention, you will hit them. At that time, I guess I can only fly low at a few hundred meters."
Just as Luo Ling was talking to himself, a huge dragon roar came from a very far distance!
The only dragon nearby was Ophinia, the black dragon lord of the dungeon. The extremely angry voice was no simple matter. A war must have broken out.
Luo Ling let the baby dragon land quickly, and then saw the nervous and excited high elves.
"Did you hear it? There's a dragon roar coming from over there!"
"Let's go and take a look!"
The group set off without saying anything more, not even bothering to hide their whereabouts.
