Ch. 118 - Gray Dwarf City

Without alerting any creatures, Amos sneaked into the main island of Kumlinge.

According to the information, he went all the way to the middle of Kumlinge and found the valley where the secret passage was hidden. As he revealed the dark tunnel beneath the vines, he became more satisfied with the Forgotten Squad.

Their strength was quite passable, and he did so to assess them cautiously, even if it takes more time, he would never be greedy for merits. When encountering situations that were beyond understanding, one has to control their curiosity, and if anything was suspicious, they would retreat immediately and not forget to arrange a backhand when leaving.

Only such an adventurer could live longer in an adventure career, ridden with danger.

Amos reduced his size and walked into the sloping downward passage. The dragons all had dark vision, so the invisible environment in the cave did not affect him in any way.

Nothing happened all the way, Amos walked out of the narrow and tortuous passage with a wide, clear vision. Looking at the large underground cavity in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh at the magnificence of the Dark Region.

The Dark Region was a magical name that represented a vast underground space, possibly only one large space, or perhaps countless underground kingdoms connected by tunnels.

Moreover, there were dark regions in many planes, and scholars have never reached a unified conclusion as to their causes from ancient disputes.

There were two most reasonable explanations. First, the laws of the plane were set in this way; second, in ancient times, a great Zerg civilization was born, whose footprints spread throughout the multiverse and built their underground kingdoms. The Dark Region was the remnants of the Zerg civilization.

Amos was not interested in exploring the cause of the Dark Region. He was only interested in the precious treasures buried deep in the ground.

Thanks to a dragon's extraordinary vision, at a glance he discovered a rich exposed ore vein overhead and a few magical plants on the ground.

These magical plants, which were specially produced in the dark places. These were precious medicinal materials, and could be exchanged for gold coins if harvested and sold to any store in the civilized world.

The tales of getting rich overnight have made the Dark Region a place of wealth that adventurers craved for. However, only a few lucky ones could return to the civilized world alive. Most adventurers had become a pile of dry bones in the secluded corners of this place.

Some underground cities had business relationships with evil races such as the Drow and Gray Dwarves. As long as you show some strength and understand the rules of the underground world, they won't bother you.

The most dangerous were the monsters hidden in the dark, such as the petrified lizards, underground horned snakes, exiled spider elves, etc. Any accidental encounter could cost the adventurers their life.

Of course, Amos was not worried about these monsters, because, for humans, they were monsters, but for giant dragons, they were just food. There were very few races in the entire multiverse that the dragon could call monsters.

This underground world wasn't big enough to take in the complete picture at a glance. At the same time, it's not too small either; it was high enough for a white dragon to fly.

Having blessed himself with invisibility, Amos flailed his wings in the air.

The hanging glow stone overhead, the moss and underground mushrooms emitting faint fluorescence on the ground brought a faint light to the underground world. In the hazy sky, the White Dragon Lord scanned the land below.

The view from the sky was much wider, and it didn't take long for Amos to find the farmland around the Gray Dwarf community based on information.

Due to the treacherous living environment in the underground world, the Gray Dwarves built villages underground like cavemen and planted crops on the land around the village.

It was difficult to guarantee that he would not be discovered if he went near to investigate, so the white dragon quietly landed on the outskirts of the village.

Mage's Eye!

A transparent eyeball flew towards the village, hidden under the cover of mushrooms grown in the fields.

There was no distinction between day and night in the underground. It was a coincidence that Amos appeared at a time when the gray dwarves were resting. But time was the last thing on his mind.

The dragon didn't have to wait for long. Two hours later, as if it were set, the gray dwarves pushed open the door on the ground and, in an orderly manner, walked out with no extra action. Then, they scattered to the field, picking mushrooms. Everything was done in silence and in an orderly manner.

As Amos observed the mechanical movements of the gray dwarves, which were really like puppets, he pondered the purpose of the mushrooms in its heart.

With so many mushrooms, the population of this village would definitely not be able to digest them, so they could only be transported to other places for other use.

Sure enough, not long after that, a group of gray dwarf soldiers wearing standard armor, driving the underground horned horses, came to the village.

They ignored the working gray dwarf peasants, picked up the mushrooms on the ground, and loaded them into the wooden cart pulled by the horned horses. It was obvious that these gray dwarves were wise.

While holding up a bunch of mushrooms, a certain gray dwarf soldier complained to a companion on the side: "These stupid farmers don't know how to load a cart by themselves, and have to bother us to do it."

His companion echoed: "Well, the pigs in prison are so good at eating that they consume a lot of food every month. I really want them to eat the dirt!"

"But for the sake of the great masters, we must not let them starve to death."

"..."

The White Dragon Lord obtained valuable information from the gray dwarf soldiers. It appears that the armor on them was from a gray dwarf city nearby, and the owner of the city was no longer a gray dwarf. It regards the gray dwarves held in the cells, as captive food.

With a guide, everything was much easier.

Amos followed behind the gray dwarf caravan and found the gray dwarf city in the stone wall at the edge of the underground space.

The gray dwarf city was carved entirely out of stone walls with only a row of tiny vents and gates at the bottom.

However, this city gate was too small!

The gate was more of a tunnel than a gate. The height of the tunnel was only about 1.5 meters. When an ordinary dwarf jumped up, he would definitely hit his head. The width was only enough for two gray dwarf soldiers to pass side by side. Which was completely out of step with the dwarfs' atmospheric architectural style.

Amos stood stealthily not far from the city gate, watching the gray dwarf transport team entering the city gate, and suddenly felt the subtle magic fluctuation in the gate.

"You're quite careful to actually set up a detection spell at the city gate."

Amos muttered in a low voice, feeling a little troubled.

He originally planned to find an opportunity to get in, but the city gate was set up with a detection spell, so it was a different matter.

The shrinking spell also had a limit, at most, it could only shrink the white dragon to the size of an ordinary baby dragon, so taking the vent won't work either.

But he did not give up, he walked around the stone wall.

"Scan!"
