Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 144 Clues
In order to get into the narrow cave and escape quickly without hindrance, Ron's size has become several times smaller at this time.

With his wings crossed by the wind, Ron stopped abruptly in a dark passageway. There were obvious traces of digging in the passageway, which seemed to be a road opened by some kind of underground intelligent race.

"There is no pursuit, it is safe for the time being."

Ron put down the three-headed white dragon and the half-drow Elf Shebasha in his hands.

Sisula looked back at the direction they were fleeing from, and the dim environment was clearly visible in the dragon pupils. After confirming that there was really nothing chasing after them, Sisula shuddered with lingering fear.

Following Ron, it was either the Platinum Dragon God's gaze or the Spider God Queen descending day by day. This was so f*cking exciting!
The strength of the incarnation of the god descending is related to the descending object. Generally speaking, the stronger the carrier, the more it can withstand the power of the god. The god can descend more power before breaking the descending "container", and the strength of the avatar will be stronger. powerful.

Most of the incarnations of gods walking in the world have only high-level powers, and some even have middle-level powers. Legendary incarnations are very rare.

The incarnation carrier that can truly exert the power of a god needs special training. From breath to thought, it must be close to the god, and its strength must be above the legend.

And the carrier of Spider Queen Rose's arrival this time is only a half broken corpse of a mid-level priest, so logically speaking, the power of her arrival will not be too strong.

But the brain circuit of this god is difficult for ordinary people to guess. Maybe he will spend a lot of effort to upgrade and repair this half of the corpse, and maybe he will come again.

Although faced with this situation, the Platinum Dragon God would most likely lower his power to protect his favored ones, but Ron never liked to pin his hopes on others.

"Where are we now?"

Ron looked at Shebasha, who was trembling all over and hadn't woken up from the breath of the spider queen, frowned, and released the dragon power to wake Shebasha from the shock.

"I'm sorry, my lord." She Basha, who was covered in cold sweat, said in a weak voice.

"It's okay."

All drow, regardless of whether they believed in the Spider Queen Rose or not, would tremble unconsciously in front of her. This was the power of the authority of the gods, and Shabasha, who had half the blood of the drow, could not avoid it.

Ron repeated what he said just now, and Shebasha calmed down, and returned: "Judging from the texture of the rock and soil, the degree of humidity, and the intensity of the surrounding dark energy, we should be close to the middle layer now, and the traces excavated here are It was caused by the pickaxes that dwarves are used to, and there are only two dwarf settlements in the shallow area nearby, judging from the direction, we should have reached the territory of the Hearthwind clan."

"Dwarves?" Ron asked puzzled, "There are normal dwarves in the Underdark? Why can you be sure that these marks are caused by dwarves, not gray dwarves?"

While the words dwarf and duergar are pronounced differently in the common language of Oonia, sabasha clearly refers to "dwarves", that is, ordinary dwarves who live on the surface.

Shabasha explained: "Dwarves in the Underdark are very rare, but some dwarves do survive here. As for why I am sure it is a dwarf, it is because the pickaxes used by dwarves have wider heads, while the cranes used by gray dwarves With a long, sharp chisel, the digging marks would be completely different."

Ron nodded, affirming Shebasha's professionalism.

The terrain of the Underdark is extremely complex. Various labyrinth-like crypts, caves, and man-made passages connect the Underdark together. It only takes half an hour for an inexperienced person to enter the Underdark to be completely lost.

And in those adventurer towns near the entrance of the Underdark, the so-called "shallow and middle maps of the Underdark" sold at high prices are all drawn by liars who deceive newcomer adventurers.

In the Underdark, the experience in the mind is always better than the map, and an experienced guide is better than a hundred maps.

Ron asked about this dwarf tribe named the Hearthwind clan. According to Shebasha, they are no different from the dwarves on the surface except that they are more irritable and addicted to alcohol, and they often trade with the humans on the surface.

Ron said: "Then let's go to the Hearthwind Clan first."

Curelia has been silent since she sent him a long-distance message last time. Ron is going to ask the intelligent race here. Maybe he can guess the relationship between Curelia and Vivian from the movements of the drow. Dilpan's direction to go deep underground.

She Basha identified the direction, pointed to a fork in the road and said, "Please go this way, my lord."

The four dragons twisted around alone, and She Basha stopped from time to time to observe the environment and point out the direction. Long En and his party successfully found the Hearthwind clan.

The Hearthwind clan is not big, and they can only barely resist the small wars that the gray dwarves launch from time to time, so facing the four real dragons is very frightening.

Shebasha seems to be very familiar with the patriarch of the Hearthwind clan, which may be why caravans trading with dwarves on the surface often employ Shebasha as a guide.

Under Long En's gesture, She Basha explained their intentions to the stooped and prostrated Hearthwind patriarch. The Hearthwind patriarch recalled the information he had recently obtained, and said:
"Recently, those lunatic drow have blocked all the passages leading to the surface, and then they have been patrolling around Black Crown City and Kalapazhuo, as if they were looking for something, but their behavior has already angered those ugly guys in Black Crown City, no I know if there is a fight."

"Black Crown City, Karapazhuo." Ron nodded slightly, remembering the name.

Turning around to leave and fly off the ground, Ron turned his head and said to the patriarch of Hearthwind: "If you are tired of living underground and are willing to submit to me, I can accept you as my family, provide shelter for you, and give You food and drink, and you just have to work for me."

The Hearth Breeze patriarch tugged at his beard that hung down to his chest and said, "Furnace Breeze thank you for your kindness."

The other party didn't agree immediately, and Long En didn't force it, he just said: "When you make a decision, you can contact She Basha, you should already be familiar with each other."

Although industrial production has started in the territory, simple manual forging is no longer effective, but if you want to develop heavy industry, you still need to rely on dwarves to make some fine parts by hand in the early stage.

The group of dwarves in the territory, Ron, only signed a five-year employment contract, and now there is only more than a year left. Ron has to prepare early and accept some dwarves as his family members.

These dwarves in the Underdark region are very good. Their living conditions are difficult and their strength is not too strong. If Long En promises to provide shelter, they will probably be willing to surrender to Long En.

After finishing speaking, Long En asked Shebasha to guide the way, heading deeper into the Underdark region.

The lower the level, the denser the dark energy, the less water vapor, and the harsher the living environment.

The creatures that can survive in the middle of the Underdark are some powerful monsters.

But in front of the real dragon, these monsters are not enough to look at.

He casually smashed the head of a flesh-hungry Dreadclaw, and the three white dragons also easily resolved the battle.

She Basha, who was protected, suddenly said: "My lord, I must remind you that Black Crown City is the territory of illithids, and those guys don't welcome outsiders very much."

Ron frowned, but still shook his head: "I'll take care of the spirit suckers, you just need to be responsible for leading the way."
