Arad's Sword

Chapter 509 Cross Domain Portal
There are only five floors in total in the Underdark.

Among them, the first layer is connected to the surface, which is the crust part composed of huge underground water veins and surface magic veins. There are basically no living things.

Further down, if someone can endure the oppression of the magic veins and the erosion of the chaotic elements, they can enter the second floor.

This is the real Underdark, a completely dark environment.

The second floor is where all kinds of monsters live, without any trace of civilization.

From the third floor, there are some underground races living, but most of them are relatively weak races such as hobgoblins, kobolds, and lizardmen.

The fourth floor is the core layer of the Underdark region. It is rich in resources and has a vast territory. It is the area where the main races such as dark elves, dragonmen, mind flayers, black dwarves, and gray dwarves reside.

Among them, the most powerful is the dark elves, which are more powerful than all other races combined.

And the fifth floor is where the water veins and magic veins of the Underdark region converge. If the first layer is the "bottom" of the Arad continent, then the fifth floor is equivalent to the "bottom" of the Underdark region.

It is said that the passage between the Underdark and the Demon Realm is in this mysterious fifth floor.In some areas of the fifth floor, there are even demonic activities, and the air is more or less filled with the breath of hell flames.

Therefore, although the resources of this layer are more abundant than those of the fourth layer, as the saying goes, extremes will reverse, and the magic power with too high concentration and the magic power mixed with the flames of hell are not suitable for normal creatures.

If they live in the fifth floor for a long time, ordinary professionals are easily eroded by magic power, and thus go crazy or even die.

And the most important building in the entire Underdark region, the "Dragon Tooth Arena" used to hold the Black Dragon Conference, is on this fifth floor.

From the fourth floor to the fifth floor, it is not that there are no tunnels going down directly, but those roads are extremely dangerous, and most of them are occupied by the amphibious monsters on the fourth and fifth floors.

Even the dark elves are unwilling to provoke those monsters.

Besides, if they walked over, I don't know how long it would take. By the time they arrived at the Dragon Tooth Arena, the Black Dragon Conference might have ended for several months.

Fortunately, a more direct method is to use a cross-domain portal.

In the four large areas of the east, south, west, and north of the fourth floor of the Underdark, there is a huge portal in each.

It is said that these portals were built directly by Tyrannosaurus King Bakar when he established the Dark Dragon City, and they will be automatically activated before the start of each Black Dragon Conference.

As long as you enter this portal, you can not only teleport to the fifth floor, but also directly teleport to Dragon Tooth Arena, which is very convenient.

Calculating carefully, it has been four months and three weeks since Midi arrived in the Underdark, and there are only five weeks before the Black Dragon Conference begins.

Starting from Menzoberranzan City, it will take two weeks to get to the eastern cross-domain portal.

The portal will be automatically activated two weeks before the official start of the Black Dragon Conference, so there will be a week of extra time, which can be said to be more than enough.

To be on the safe side, you could actually go to the portal some time earlier. However, for a larger force like Menzoberranzan, if you go early, you will only get more prying eyes.

That's why the Patriarch of the Death Scorpion pinpointed this timing and set off three weeks before the portal opened.

Along the way, this Menzoberranzan warrior team encountered many troubles.

After all, although Menzoberranzan City has established "trade roads" in its own area and maintains them from time to time, once it leaves the area controlled by Menzoberranzan City, there will be no roads anymore.

Along the way, these fighters who usually focus on fighting can be said to have experienced the feeling of "adventure".

They moved forward while identifying their direction in the wilderness of the Underdark region, often fought against groups of monsters, entered the territory of other forces, and even had various conflicts.

It is impossible for all these external pressures to be blocked by the Patriarch of the Death Scorpion and the guards. Most of the time, it is necessary for the fighters to act in person.

After all, they are the most powerful armed force in this fighter team.

And during this kind of tempering, the relationship between Midi, Thor, and Alex also eased a little.

Finally, two weeks later, Midi and his party arrived at their destination - the cross-domain portal in the eastern part of the Underdark.

This is also a huge cave space, but the concentration of magic power is astonishingly high, and from time to time there will be strong winds with dragon breath whimpering and blowing in the cave.

And right in this cave, there is a magical circle engraved with an inconceivably large area.

This magic circle is directly engraved on the ground made of diamond rock, with a radius of nearly one square kilometer. If you look at it from a height, it seems that the entire floor of the cave is covered.

Even after tens of thousands of years have passed, every line on this ancient magic circle has not been damaged in any way, and it is still as clear as before, as if it was drawn just yesterday.

This is the cross-domain portal, which is said to have been laid down by the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar himself.

Once this magic circle is activated, it can be said that everyone who enters this cave will be teleported and directly reach the fifth floor.

Even Midi, who has always been well-informed and even has two lifetimes of experience, couldn't help but gasped when he saw this huge teleportation array, and showed an extremely surprised expression.

Because this is by no means a miracle that can be achieved by human power.

"Can you arrange this kind of teleportation formation?" After a short silence, Midi finally couldn't help asking.

Of course, he wasn't asking anyone in the team, it was a useless question.

Midi is asking the eighth apostle Lotes.

"Hmph, back then, when the old man was in his heyday, there were many such things in the ocean of the demon world. Although they were not so big, the distance was much farther!" Rotes' voice sounded immediately, Without the slightest hesitation, "In terms of magic, this old man is not inferior to that Tyrannosaurus King Bakar."

"Back then..." Midi smiled wryly, but he also knew very well that now that Luo Tesi's cultivation base has fallen to the lowest level, it is naturally impossible to do anything shocking.

"If you have even a little sincerity, go to the Dark Dragon City and collect the materials for my reincarnation!" Rotes roared angrily.

"Of course, whether it's helping you reincarnate or letting me advance myself, it's a must." Midi nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

The huge teleportation array shocked Midi, and at the same time, it also gave him the most intuitive understanding of the scale of the Black Dragon Conference.

"There is still a week before this cross-domain portal will open. Let's find a place to camp first." The Patriarch of the Death Scorpion issued an order.

This teleportation array is too huge, it is almost like a city, no matter how many teams there are, it is too small in such a large area.

Because of this, Midi and the others can set up camp directly on the teleportation array without any worries at all.

However, when she really started to choose a place, Midi discovered that the cave seemed to be chaotic, but there was still a strict hierarchy and a clear order in it.

Only teams from major forces can camp closer to the center of the teleportation array, while those small teams can only stay at the edge.

For example, Menzoberranzan City where he is located can be regarded as a top-ranking first-class power in the entire eastern region, and therefore, Midi and others can be closer to the central position.

However, before reaching the center of the teleportation array, the Patriarch of the Death Scorpion still stopped, and ordered not to approach any further, leaving an open space in the middle.

"Where is it?" Midi's eyes moved slightly, and he roughly guessed something.

"That's the place reserved for the Eastern Temple." The owner of the Death Scorpion explained lightly, "If we say that Menzoberranzan City is a first-class force in the eastern region, then the Eastern Temple can be said to surpass many cities. The super power above, unless you meet at the Black Dragon Conference, otherwise, you must not provoke the people of the temple."

As the Patriarch said this, he glanced at all seven fighters seriously, obviously warning them.

The power of the temple is so strong that even the Patriarch of the Death Scorpion has to be so serious. This makes Midi feel a strong crisis, but also has some expectations.

From the "frontal attack" strategy during this period, he has understood one thing, the stronger the opponent, the faster his strength can be improved.

I don't know, how high will the fighters of the temple be, and what kind of blood power will they have?
Midi thought secretly in her heart.

Just as the people of Menzoberranzan City had just set up their camp, a team that had come earlier and was also in the inner circle came over here collectively.

When seeing the leader of that team, even the Patriarch of the Death Scorpion frowned slightly.

Here comes the trouble.

Midi immediately judged the current situation.

"Where is that power?" Midi asked.

"It seems that you are really focused on cultivating, and you don't know anything about our enemies." Thor sarcastically said this first, and then slowly said, "Seeing the half-moon-shaped wind blade-like tattoo on their chests Are you done? They are from Stormwind City."

"Wind City?" Midi always felt that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

But soon, he got the answer.

Because several fighters from Stormwind City came over directly, and showed a sneer at someone on Midi's side.

"Long time no see, Zaknafein, I really didn't expect that a waste like you could be qualified as a black dragon fighter? It seems that the city of Menzoberranzan has completely fallen and is hopeless!"
