An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 163 The mysterious figure
"There is a road down there."

Karak stood on the edge of the cliff and stuck his head out.

"Ah? Let's take a look. It's true. It seems that the owner of the footprints has a good life."

Astelon took a closer look and found that there was another road below, with a large number of vines extending vertically, like a ladder.

The Underdark is so strange. No one knows what’s inside the inconspicuous corners.
Is there a hidden passage leading elsewhere? It is indeed difficult to find without careful exploration.

"Do you want to take a look? The footprints were left not long ago, probably half a day ago. The other party may have run into trouble if he didn't return."

Weier looked at Malone and asked for his opinion.
She didn't want to pretend she hadn't seen anything and continue to complete the purpose of her trip.

Hearing this, Astelon suddenly turned around and frowned:

"I very much disagree with your idea, Weir, but don't forget what we came out to do. Find the last fragment as soon as possible, and then go back as soon as possible!"

"What's more, even if we go down to explore, we might end up finding a corpse."

Then Weir followed closely behind,

The probability of running in vain is also not small.

"You're right, I have to go down and have a look. I'll leave first."

At this time, his companions saw that he did not follow him and quickly asked.

"What exactly is going on..."

It is consistent with the behavior of everyone just now.

Just as Ma Long was about to go down, a strange feeling suddenly came over him. When he turned around, he couldn't help but widen his eyes!
I saw four translucent figures standing on the edge of the cliff looking down!

After hearing the urging, Ma Long responded loudly with a strange look on his face.

"I hope you won't forget, Astairen, who our captain is."

"Ma Long! What's wrong?!"

Although the figures just now were translucent and existed for an unusually short time, he could see some things clearly.

Seeing this scene, Ma Long waved his hand:
"Let's go, be careful."

Karak nodded in agreement. Out of curiosity, he put away his ax and immediately climbed down the long vines.

At this moment, Weir was deeply dissatisfied and retorted.

First of all, there were four people, three men and one woman, and then...no more,
There was something wrong, at least in Malone's mind.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. This scene was extremely shocking, but in the blink of an eye, the figure suddenly disappeared again!

"...It's okay! I'll go down right now!"

There was no other way~ The captain had already spoken, and Astelon had no choice but to obey, and climbed down the cliff for the second time with a very reluctant look...

"What the hell..."

If the captain position was held by someone else, she might not even mention this idea.
But the reality is just the opposite. Paladins from the good camp swear to protect and help the weak in the world. As the captain, Ma Long has to say something.
After all, human life is more important than anything else.

The price for meddling in other people's business underground is much higher than that from above!

He wanted to rack his brains to think, but it was a pity that now was not a good time. Then Ma Long shook his head to disperse the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Climb carefully down the vine.

If you make a mistake in the Underdark, you will be doomed! No one knows how deep the cliff is.

Even if you don't die if you fall down, don't try to get up again.

Soon, Malone and his companions met and came to a platform. Next to it, a bridge formed by thick tree roots extended into the darker depths.

At the end grew a large patch of crackling mushrooms that shimmered in bright green.

Those huge fungi are like a large gunpowder magazine. If it explodes, the consequences will be disastrous! People nearby are bound to be doomed...

"Did you see it? Weir, you knew there was trouble."

Seeing a large number of mushrooms, Astelon crossed his arms and smiled playfully. Karak pointed to a large number of crackling mushrooms and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"There's someone there!"

Everyone took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case. There was a bald dwarf male standing among them shivering. The crackling mushroom was very dangerous.
The other party's reaction is perfectly normal.

At the same time, the dwarf also noticed that someone was coming, and he was so happy that he lowered his voice:
"Hey! I'm here! Hey!"

"How did you get there?"

Seeing this dwarf, Weir concluded that he was the owner of the footprints. He was happy but helpless. He was okay for the time being but he was in deep trouble.

There are so many crackling mushrooms, I really don’t know how he got in there.

Glancing around the whole place, Ma Long saw a place shining with fire in the distance.

Squint and take a closer look, it's a torch!

Once the crackling spores are released, the entire area will be bombarded! Several of them, including the dwarves, will die here!
"Please! Help me!"

The dwarf was frightened and softly prayed for help, fearing that a little louder movement would disturb the mushroom.

[The responsibility of the constant oath has been activated: support the weak]

[When the weak face difficulties, the paladin will definitely lend a helping hand to prevent the imminent tragedy of loss of life. 】

[Completion reward: attribute point +1]

"Here's a torch, Veil, is there any way to move things further away?"

At this time, Ma Long turned around and asked the only spell caster present. He was not afraid of poisons, not explosions, so he rashly went in to save people.

You will definitely be bruised and bruised! He even died on the spot.

"……Let me try."

Looking at the position of the torch, Weir tried to mobilize the evil energy in her body, and reluctantly summoned a small translucent claw.
Because she was located near the Whispering Tree, it was extremely difficult for her to control evil energy.

Fortunately, she has strong willpower and can control the evil summoning hand to levitate and go deep into the mushrooms. After all, this thing does not belong to life.

It didn't even touch the ground and cause vibration.

So Crackle didn’t react at all, just letting this hand pass through it,
Arrive at the location of the torch, pick it up and push it into the ground to extinguish it.

After the most critical point was resolved, Ma Long jumped seven to eight meters high without hesitation! Fly straight towards the rescue target...

"No! Don't come in!"

Seeing this, the dwarf couldn't help but exclaim loudly. Sure enough, as soon as he landed on the ground, the surrounding earth crackled and vibrated,

One by one they are competing to explode! Release poisonous spores to cover the entire area!

However, Malone picked up the dwarf in time, raised it above his head so that he could breathe fresh air, and at the same time, quickly ran to safety.

"Stop! Malone! There is a cliff ahead! We are here!"

Seeing the conspicuous dwarf approaching the edge of the cliff of the bottomless abyss, Weir quickly shouted.

Upon learning of this situation, Ma Long stopped in time and followed the sound of the Border Blade all the way back. Not long after, they rejoined smoothly.

"Ah! It's really...ah!"

Putting the dwarf down, Ma Long sneezed twice. He would not be poisoned if he inhaled the spores, but the itching in his nasal cavity was unavoidable.

Staring at the dwarf who was standing there like a fool, Asteron curled her lips and said angrily:
"Little dwarf, why are you running in there? Why don't you choose a cliff and jump off if you want to die?"

"What a waste of our precious time."

Perhaps everything happened too fast, and the dwarf was very slow to react. After being rescued, he was as motionless as a piece of wood.
