164 – Going Into The Under World

Beverly’s figure shook, and she disappeared from her bedroom, before strangely reappearing in a secret chamber.

A magic crystal mirror was embedded on a wall of the secret chamber.

Beverly silently recited an incantation, pointed at the magic crystal mirror, and a stream of a blue magic radiance shone on the mirror.

“Beverly, did something happen?”

Shayenna’s voice came from the magic crystal mirror, but her tone revealed great impatience.

“What happened? What would make the Great Matriarch behave this way?” Beverly felt somewhat suspicious.

Shayenna was the Great Matriarch, and the most outstanding dark elf. Usually, as someone who coped calmly with everything that came her way, who had everything under her control, who showed a kind and holy image to others, and who would never show any impatience in front of the 13 Dark Elven Tribes’ Matriarchs. Her current bearing was clearly somewhat odd.

Although Beverly felt suspicious, yet she still reported to Shayenna the intelligence report in its entirety.

From the magic crystal mirror came Shayenna’s ice-cold response: “As the commander of Demonic Snake Fortress, make your own judgement on such trivial matters. If there’s nothing important, then don’t bother me anymore!”

Beverly was dissatisfied, yet she said deferentially: “Yes! Great Matriarch!”

The 3rd layer of the under world, the City of Dark Elves, inside the Holy Spring Divine Pool in the depths of the great temple.

Shayenna was immersed inside the milky-white Holy Spring Divine Pool. She was covered with horrifying scars; her originally peerless appearance had been burned beyond recognition, her sensual body was covered in nauseating post radiation ulcers, and her lover body had no legs.

Shayenna was at the center of the nuclear explosion; she had nearly depleted all of her trump cards, and had narrowly escaped. However, not only were her legs blown off, but she had also suffered heavy radiation poisoning, and had sustained exceedingly severe injuries.

Shayenna silently recited an incantation, pointed with her lily-white finger, and cast the level-4 divine spell Great Healing at herself.

Streams of black divine light illuminated Shayenna, followed by her uttering moans of great pain while under the effect of the divine power. With every fraction of radiation power being dispelled by the divine power, she would feel like being fiercely stabbed with a blade.

Divine power was one of the top powers in this world; it could even dispel radiation. But the divine power was extremely tyrannical, and its clash with the radiation power brought bring about great suffering.

Under the effect of the Great Healing, the post radiation ulcers on Shayenna’s lovely body exploded open, before slowly healing and resuming the appearance of smooth jade.

But after the Great Heal was over; Shayenna faintly gasped with a pained look on her face, she had no strength to cast another Great Heal.

Shayenna adopted a fierce expression, and shrieked shrilly: “Fucking Steel City, fucking Yang Ye; I’ll tear you to pieces, I’ll tear everyone in Steel City to pieces!!”

After venting, Shayenna could do nothing more than collapse powerlessly in the divine pool and sob.

The internal affairs of the dark elves were replete with betrayals, conspiracies and massacres. What no one could have imagined was that Shayenna was currently in a weakened state.

But once her weakness was exposed, then what would await her was an exceedingly miserable end. At that time, even her trusted and devoted aids would also bite back at her.

Shayenna was currently filled with remorse and regret for not being able to resist the temptation of personally going to Steel City. If not, she wouldn’t have suffered such heavy injuries. Even though she was a Legend rank Priestess, and drew support from the divine power of Goddess Lolth, it would still take her half a year to fully recover. This half a year would be extremely dangerous; as long as she was the slightest bit careless, then she would be doomed.

Shayenna was a woman who had risen to the position of Great Matriarch amidst countless conspiracies and massacres; therefore, she was acutely aware of the strangeness of it all: “It was someone’s plot, definitely. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence were all of us would gather simultaneously at Steel City? It should be someone’s doing.”

Shayenna was gnashing her teeth as she contemplated: “Looking at it from the perspective of who benefited in this ordeal, then this plot should have been a trap set up by Steel City in order to take care of us all in one fell swoop!

Those beasts from Steel City; every single one of them is a fucking bastard!!”

A hatred was being fermented inside her.

Inside Demonic Snake Fortress. Beverly didn’t dare to be the slightest bit negligent, and immediately implemented military rule. Every human slave was locked up and was guarded strictly.

Every single military weapon from within Demonic Snake Fortress’ storehouses was placed above the city wall; Demonic Snake Fortress had entered martial law.

On Yang Feng’s side, after conquering Fish-Tooth City, Yang Feng left Ares in charge of restoring peace in the city, and immediately entered the under world along with 200,000 battle robots.

After a bout of fierce fighting, an ordinary troop needed to rest before fighting again, or its fighting strength would decline greatly. But the level-8 battle robots were different; as robots, as long as their power sources weren’t depleted, then they could fight right until before being destroyed. This was the scariest trait of robot warriors.

“Is this the under world? It really isn’t a hospitable place; no wonder human Warlocks hadn’t occupied it.”

Once they entered the under world, they were immediately shrouded in endless darkness. It was so dark that it was almost impossible to see one’s hand in the darkness; only some sparse fluorescent moss and other fluorescent plants emitted dim traces of radiance.

The air was damp, and had a slimy odor.

<The analysis has been concluded. The air humidity is far greater than in the surface world. Unless one had promoted to a level-1 Warlock, then even Earth Knight rank experts would contract severe rheumatism and arthritis after living in this place for 5 years. Ordinary people would fall ill after living 1 year in such an environment.>

Yang Feng had just thought about it, when the optical computer had swiftly sent back a report of the analysis.

Yang Feng contemplated: “Although ordinary people are but ants in the eyes of Warlocks, but they are still the foundation of human Warlocks. As ordinary people were incapable of living here, it would be very difficult for human Warlocks to conquer the under world; this was the reason why the under world was abandoned. But for the ancient Warlocks to gain complete control over the under world, their power was indeed terrifying.

During the era of the 8th Warlock Dynasty, Dawn Dynasty, the under world was still under the control of the human Warlocks. Turandot Subcontinent’s under world was also controlled by Dawn Dynasty’s ancient Warlocks, and was remodeled into a trial ground.

After the collapse of Dawn Dynasty, the under world had returned to the darkness clans, and had become a dangerous place for humans. The human presence in the under world was just limited to bridgeheads like Demonic Snake Fortress in order to do dealings with the under world’s major clans.

“Turn on the lights!”

Once Yang Feng ordered, the 200,000 robots immediately switched on the searchlights, brightly lighting their location.

Once the 200,000 robots switched on the searchlights, thumb-sized extraordinary life form Vampire Moths immediately formed a dense swarm, and flew towards the 200,000 robots.

Vampire Moths were the most commonly seen extraordinary life forms in the under world. Once they saw light, they would be immediately attracted over via their phototaxes, before sucking the creature which was the source of the light dry. Many humans who had come to the under world unprepared would attract countless Vampire Moths once they produced light, and even level-3 Warlocks may fall before the terrifying swarms of Vampire Moths.

“Switch on the electricity!”

Bzzt, crackle!

Following Yang Feng’s order, the 200,000 robots covered themselves in electricity. When the dense swarm of Vampire Moths ran into the 200,000 robots, they emitted crisp sounds, and dropped to the ground.

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

Along with bursts of buzzing sounds, all sorts of bizarre venomous insects were attracted by the light from the searchlights, and rushed towards the 200,000 robots, before being electrocuted along with a pop and emitting a charred stench.

In their march towards Demonic Snake Fortress, the 200,000 robots ground the corpses of countless insects.

When Yang Feng saw the countless waves of insects rushing over, his scalp turned slightly numb. He felt very curious: “How did Black Dragon Empire’s demonic snake legion had passed through this path? With so many strange insects, even an army of 100,000 might be completely eradicated before reaching Demonic Snake Fortress.”

The under world was practically covered in insects. If Yang Feng had led a human army, then even if it was an army of 100,000; by now, 70,000 or 80,000 of them would have already been killed by those venomous insects.

Even if the armor of the 200,000 robots was thick, there were still many of them which had places in their armor bitten through by the venomous insects.

The venomous insects here and on Earth were different. In the World of Warlocks, many of the venomous insects were extraordinary life form rank venomous insects, with the most powerful among them being even capable of easily killing Great Warlock rank experts.

But fortunately, there were no such powerful insects in the 1st layer of the under world, enabling Yang Feng to tread on the corpses of venomous insects and forge ahead.

Yang Feng sighed somewhat regretfully: “I was originally thinking about letting Ares lead the troops to join me on this campaign, but now it seems to be pointless. If he were to lead the troops over, then they would just die.”

Yang Feng wanted to nurture Ares’ ability to lead troops; he wanted to nurture him into a general, so that when he eventually left to explore and colonize other planes, he would have someone of use.”

Plane colonization, even in the World of Warlocks, was a very esoteric knowledge. At times, warriors who were neither weak nor strong would play the most important role during plane colonization.
