Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 169 Entering the Underground World! Discovering the Whig Mine!

Blom still voluntarily entered the underground world, taking with him the thirty-two super werewolves and five super werewolf deacons from his territory.

Fifty ordinary werewolves were left behind in the territory, along with Wolf Three and two other super werewolf deacons.

There aren't enough super werewolves in the territory.

Even with a slight division of forces, it's not enough.

Meanwhile, the scarab swarm, having undergone three transformations, was swarming toward the underground world. With Su Nan's permission, they traveled directly from 8,000 meters underground to 12,000 meters underground, where the main city of Rye was located.

Meanwhile, because Snow had crushed the red aether stone before being captured by the swarm, the sound of her capture reached the ears of all the drow in the main city of Rye.

Only then did the Drow people dare to believe that they had actually been invaded, and that the enemy had likely already crossed the outpost and was heading deeper underground.

Perhaps we've already reached a depth of five or six thousand meters underground!

At that moment, the Drow matriarch of the main city of Rye frowned, and her Drow guards also began to hear the noise.

We have been invaded by surface dwellers.

[To reiterate, we have been invaded by surface dwellers. This is an undeniable reality, not a lie.]

Please prepare your defenses; tens of thousands of monsters are heading towards our world...

The Rye Matriarch's expression turned grim; she was beginning to have her suspicions. "Didn't our spies say that surface humans are extremely weak?"

"Their administrative organization is disorganized, and the weak dare to disobey the strong. There is also something called gold coins, which allows the weak to drive the strong."

"Their army is weak, and the surface people enjoy themselves..."

"Those surface humans and cavemen are very likely the same race. They're nothing but a race of slaves; how dare they invade...invade my world!"

"I am an arcanist, an arcanist capable of killing a first-class wizard apprentice!"

"Gather the army of the main city of Rye, I will slaughter all those surface people."

The Rye Matriarch's roar immediately drew shouts from thousands of people throughout the dungeon.

These creatures of the slave race are all her slaves.

Therefore, these slaves neither helped her reflect on her actions nor refused to offer her assistance; in fact, they all tried to curry favor with the Mistress of Rye in order to improve their own status in the main city of Rye.

Therefore, when the Rye Matriarch roared, countless slaves below her magnificent palace shouted, amplifying her voice.

"Kill all the people on Earth!"

"Kill all the people on Earth!"

The cries of the slaves came like mountains and seas, rising and falling, endlessly.

Rye looked down at the slaves she controlled with magic and smiled with satisfaction.

She is an arcanist who possesses the entire 'world'.

If the surface dwellers dare to come down, she will make them pay a bloody price.

……

At a depth of 12,000 meters, near a mining town in a wilderness outside the main city of Rye, Su Nan, along with Warwick, Blom, Jinx, and a pack of wolves and a swarm of insects, jumped down from the mine in the underground world.

Upon entering, Su Nan glanced around with some surprise.

So this is the underground world.

This vast underground world cannot be said to be without any light. At least in the "sky" of the underground world, on the thick rock layers, many fungal plants that emit a faint glow in the darkness are crawling all over it.

A pale green light, like the starry night sky, shone above the underground world.

However, the night sky in this underground world is always this kind of starry sky.

There will be no distinction between day and night.

The underground world is filled with a peculiar smell of heavy metals being smelted in a metallurgical factory, and is dominated by rock formations with very little vegetation.

Moreover, the temperature here is very high, generally at least 45 degrees Celsius or above.

This explains why the main modified army in the underworld is the lizardmen.

The reptiles' original disadvantage of not being able to maintain their body temperature disappeared under the special temperature of this underground world.

Warwick stepped on a lump of coal, frowned in disgust, and transformed into a massive mutated werewolf to insulate himself from the intense heat.

Blom said, "Master, it's too hot here. Even if we conquer it, humans aren't suited to live here."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow and said, "After looking at the environment here, I suspect that neither the lizardmen nor the races of the underworld can adapt to life on the surface."

"No wonder those two ogres had such poor eyesight. I suspect the lizardmen might freeze to death on a winter night in the Storm Kingdom."

The old butler, Warwick, said, "Young master, those hundred-odd monsters from the underworld that we captured are indeed in the dungeon, constantly wailing that they are cold."

Su Nan finally understood.

The creatures of this underground world have clearly made a serious mistake.

If they were to actually establish a long-term base on the surface, they would likely find that the nights in the Storm Kingdom... are tantamount to a collective freeze spell for them.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. "I didn't see the lizardman army, which was preparing to establish its first stronghold in my Peter Territory and Mays Territory, wearing frostbite protection equipment."

"The arcanists of the underworld should have been providing technical and magical support to their armies, just like wizards. Are they too disdainful of caring for their slaves, or has the intelligence of the arcanists degenerated to the pathetic level of sorcerers?"

Jinx, through the wolf pack effect, spoke to Su Nan in a mental connection: "Master, my swarm and I both like the temperature here. This temperature is more suitable for the hatching of insect eggs."

"We really like it here."

Sunan said, "From now on, you'll be stationed underground in Peter's territory. Jinx, your swarm can move freely, so you'll stay with me for now; I'll protect you."

Although arcane mages may not be as intelligent as orthodox wizards, it is still necessary to prevent them from discovering the swarm's mental connection and finding Jinx's presence through it, so as to launch a decapitation strike against Jinx.

Jinx now contains the life essence of the entire Zerg swarm, making her the ultimate beneficiary of all Zerg evolution. If she dies, Su Nan will have to redo all the previous work, and he may not even be able to achieve the same success.

Jinx exclaimed excitedly, "Then I'll start laying out the fungal carpet!"

Su Nan was preparing to further explore this underground world that was always under the "starry sky". He sensed a large concentration of the fifth element, ether, ahead, and saw many gray dwarf slaves mining ether stones in an ether stone mine, and a gray dwarf town next to the ether stones.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow.

Previously, I had suspected that because the ether element was too heavy, there wasn't much ether element on the surface. Now, this ether element has actually accumulated together, turning into mineral veins and being exposed on the surface of the underground world.

"The element of ether was likely discovered on a large scale by underground sorcerers who went underground in the past, and they developed many applications, which is one of the important reasons why this sorcerer society is different from the sorcerer society on the surface."

"Moreover, ether has many applications."

Su Nan thought to himself that when used in conjunction with magic potions, the aether stone could enhance his mental power, and he had also seen many wonderful uses of aether before.

The most basic aether stone can turn an enemy's weapons and armor into noodle-like things.

The red ether stone appears to have some form of communication function.

Entering that ether mine might provide the answers and reveal the secrets of ether.

Moreover, acquiring an ether mine means that you can also possess ether, which has so many wonderful uses.

Blom saw a wooden sign in front of the Etherstone mine, with characters written in a variant of the common language of the continent. However, since the script in the underworld was not that different from that of the continent, Blom could still barely recognize a few characters.

"The largest ether mine in Black City, the Whig Mine, is a no-show site. Anyone who enters without permission will be executed immediately."

"Master, it seems like people aren't allowed in here."

Su Nan said casually, "Oh, I see."

"Then this mine is mine."
