Chapter 616 - 581: The Abyss Lord’s Underground Palace
Since there’s a big operation in play, the elite forces of these Wandering Heroes must be brought along. Compared to Da Fei’s ordinary troops, these underground elites are better suited for combat in the constricting terrain of the underworld.
Now with preparations ready, a flash of light and the scene changes, Flying back to the lakeshore next to the Ruins Inn.
At this point, there’s a surging crowd over the ruins, clearly, the destruction of the inn has drawn the Demon Race’s attention.
Shakert said somberly, "The enemy will never expect us to come back, so as long as we land avoiding these people we can sneak into the mine quietly. And since this is the Demon Race’s rear base, there’s always been a lack of guard troops, with the boss’s strength and the Lord City Lord’s troops we’ll certainly be able to take it over."
It seems that’s the only way. Da Fei then said to Anlicia and Catherine, "You two continue to stay on the lake shore, if anything goes wrong, teleport immediately, don’t worry about us."
Anlicia shook her head and gave a wry smile, "Lord City Lord, if an accident happens, you and your troops will all be lost here, won’t you? It’s time to prepare some Town Recall Scrolls, otherwise it’s going to be very troublesome."
Town Recall Scrolls! Da Fei’s heart stirred and he asked hastily, "I too want to get Town Recall Scrolls, but I don’t know how to get them!"
Anlicia laughed and said, "It might be troublesome for normal people, but the Lord has a discount. Anyway, after Radiant City is officially completed, you can spend money to ask someone from the Mage Guild to come to the city and order them, although it will cost a lot, it’s a necessary investment."
So that’s how it is! But Radiant City won’t be officially complete until the Epic Quest "Pool of Purifying Light" is finished, and that’s not something that can be done in a day or two.
...
Now, under the cover of mist, Flying quietly approached the other side of the lakeshore. Da Fei and a host of mercenaries leaped off the deck and waded ashore.
Shakert volunteered eagerly, "Boss, Lord City Lord, let me scout ahead!"
Elena nodded approvingly, "Very well, you must be careful and meticulous, there must be no slip-ups!"
"Understood." After saying this, Shakert and his Cave People immediately vanished into the darkness.
Da Fei couldn’t help but break out in a sweat, this damn thing is on par with his Phantom March. Anyways, he also has the Blood Eagle, he can’t just sit idle, in this dim underground world, aerial scouting combined with ground scouting is the only way to be infallible.
The troops began to move through a cavern riddled with stalagmites. With meticulous scouting, the troops either gave way or hid, perfectly avoiding all the Demon Race personnel encountered along the way. Such spacious and avoidable underground space could only be encountered in a game.
Finally, after half a day’s march, a red glow of lava appeared ahead with a blast of hot air hitting their faces, revealing a Lava Volcano. They have arrived at the target.
Little Fei is now circling carefully over this underground volcano, and there are countless pits dug around the volcano with numerous Level 0 Demon Infant workers going in and out of the pits, and some Hellhound Banshee Hell Horse combinations patrolling around the volcano.
Not bad, the defensive force here isn’t much stronger than the inn, and Da Fei’s confidence only grows.
Soon, Shakert returned from the front to report, his voice slightly excited, "Boss, Lord City Lord, no abnormalities, we’ll circle around to the back of the volcano, where is the abandoned mine area first started decades ago, most of the tunnels have been sealed, but there is one tunnel that is directly connected to the top of Aziklo’s Underground Palace, used as a ventilation duct. Once we enter this duct, we can directly reach his Underground Palace, then enter his palace’s bathhouse drainage, and from the drainage into his bathhouse, then we can directly assassinate him!"
Da Fei was surprised, "You know it very well!"
Shakert said gravely, "Of course, because I was the one who dug this mine and built the palace for the Demons as the first batch of slaves. The earliest mines were all dug by us Cave People, and many Cave People died working in such hot conditions. Later, as the Demon Race’s project grew larger and the labor grew scarcer, they thought of preserving our Cave People’s labor and dispatched us to the inn docks. Anyway, this also saved our Cave People’s lives."
Elena sighed wistfully, "It seems after we Dark Elves were defeated into the New World, Demons also took the opportunity to take over the power we left behind. This must be the biggest mistake my Mother Empress made by being deceived by the Demons."
Da Fei couldn’t help shaking his head with a sigh; it was clear that they had been duped by the Demons. Anyway, his team was united in their hatred of the Demons, and there was no doubt about the success of a big operation.
Da Fei then nodded, "Then let’s set off."
Under Shakert’s guidance, the team started to turn and circled a great distance before finally reaching their destination, a dead volcano that had long since extinguished, dotted with pits and with seemingly no guards.
Then Shakert sniffed and pointed, "That’s the place, a mine vent emitting faint sulfur smoke."
Da Fei was amazed, "Found it so easily? The defense here is too weak."
Shakert said solemnly, "The vengeful spirits of slaves who died in anger inside the abandoned mine holes are the natural guards here. But these Resentful Spirits are nothing in front of our power, I’ll lead the way!" After saying this, Shakert once again led the team into the mine tunnel.
Watching Shakert’s hunched and blurry small figure disappear into the cave, Elena chuckled: "Who would’ve thought, after a hundred years, that little Cave Person who used to nod and bow has become so decisive. I sense a strong drive for revenge in him!"
This is just too decisive! I haven’t even had the chance to use him, and he’s already using me to settle his personal scores! I just hope it doesn’t backfire.
Da Fei could only shake his head with a wry smile and follow. True to Shakert’s word, there were indeed many unclear-level Resentful Spirits blocking the path in the ruins’ pits, but they were nothing to worry about in front of Da Fei’s powerful and mixed Heroic Legion. The team advanced through the maze-like pits, and the sulfur smoke grew denser, even with hints of warm vapor.
Shakert said solemnly, "We’re close, this is the sulfur spring in Aziklo’s bedroom!"
Just then, a thunderous laughter echoed from up ahead. Da Fei’s heart trembled; this laugh had the air of a mighty one, similar to when he heard Baron Nash’s in the competition server, right?
Reinvigorated, Shakert exclaimed, "Excellent! Aziklo is indulging in pleasure; this is the perfect opportunity to assassinate him!"
Da Fei nodded, "At this crucial moment, we must proceed with caution!"
"Of course! We need to deploy the troops."
The team continued ahead, the laughter grew closer; not only was the sulfur smell getting stronger, but there was also a strange fragrance mixed in. Could it be? Sure enough, a boisterous woman’s laughter emerged ahead! Damn it, indeed reveling in pleasures! Are there beauties? Any treasures? It seems we must kill him no matter what!
At that moment, Shakert suddenly turned and said sternly, "Ogg, you’re too fat. Stay behind for now, we’ll call you when the fight starts."
Immediately, Gengna agreed, "Right, Ogg’s heavy footsteps could alarm the enemy."
Alarmed? Da Fei, taken aback, turned around to see Ogre Ogg’s contorted face, his tusks biting into his mouth and drawing blood, with his fat trembling uncontrollably!
Dammit, what’s up with that? He’s not scared, is he?
While still in shock, he heard Shakert say, "Very well, let’s move ahead, and from here on, no talking."
Very well? Seeing the huge fatso standing still like a statue, Da Fei grew more puzzled. Is he really okay?
Now, the corridor ahead was alight with brightness. They were at the vent above the bedroom’s chamber, where the laughter and light were coming from.
Shakert fell silent, simply gesturing Da Fei to come closer, then pointed down at the vent. Is it really a show of a Demon’s lascivious life?
Unable to wait any longer, Da Fei rushed forward and peered through the stone grate of the vent, only to see a huge pool-like bathtub below. Inside, a massive fatso with giant tusks resembling a gigantic mammoth was soaking; this was the Abyss Lord!
Compared to his size, Ogg, the giant Ogre, was like a human zookeeper beside an elephant, hardly worth noting. At this moment, the Abyss Giant had one..."petite" Ogre on either side.
Seeing the two Ogres, with a pair of giant meat sacks hanging from their chest, wrapped in floral miniskirts, tenderly bathing the Abyss Giant, Da Fei felt a darkness before his eyes and spewed a mouthful of blood in shock!
My eyes are damned! So that’s what female Ogres look like; unbearable to witness, truly unbearable! Of course, perhaps to a boar’s eyes, beautiful human women might not be prettier than a sow. Da Fei’s reaction was understandable. However, Da Fei couldn’t for the life of him understand why an Abyss Giant would take a bath with female Ogres?
Perhaps, no race can stop love, no age can stop love, no gender can stop love—all that can stop love is size. Relative to the Abyss Giant’s mountainous flesh, perhaps only female Ogres could serve him properly.
Da Fei now realized why Ogg had acted strangely before; no wonder Shakert and Gengna, who knew the scoop, didn’t let him follow along. So, this Ogg is a Hero with a story, with his own drama? Hmm, he barely qualifies as an Epic Hero. Do well, channel your anger into strength; I got your back, bro.
Shakert now waved his hand, and the team continued to move forward stealthily. Da Fei, calming his shocked heart, quietly followed suit. After a winding route, the team arrived at the drainage channel behind the pool. They just needed to lift the cover to enter the pool.
Just one last step to go; no matter how strong this giant is, as long as he’s not a Demigod, he’s just a solitary figure without backup, and bringing him down will be no problem at all. It seems that this ambitious move is quite reliable indeed.
Just as Shakert was about to take action, a voice announced from afar in the direction of the pool, "Reporting to Aziklo, Tamara, Tasola have arrived!"
Aziklo laughed heartily, "Bring them here, serve wine and meat, and call all the female slaves to attend to us!"
Da Fei was taken aback suddenly, what’s going on? More people coming? (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
