Chapter 421: Underground world

How could Chu Tian not be happy?

The solid foundation the gnomes had built over several hundred years, how much effort would it save Chu Tian?This was like a person buying a house and being given a magnificent beast carriage, servants and bodyguards, and even a beautiful female maid.This was just too beneficial.

The gnome laboratory was this era’s standard and even the powerful empires of the continent were like this.With this solid foundation and the technology and team Chu Tian had, its future value could not even be imagined.

Chu Tian was filled with anticipation to use this laboratory.

The gnomes’ thoughts were not as complicated as the humans, but the gnomes could feel that Chu Tian’s words were not empty words.This human seemed like he really valued research and it was beneficial for the gnomes if this kind of person became the City Lord.

There was no doubt the elves were strong, but they were not interested in this.So, if Chu Tian fully supported their research laboratory, he would gain the approval of most of the gnomes.

There were many low level dark beings locked in the dark life form lab, like the Evil Eye, Cave Spiders, and others.There were several hundreds of them, so it was not a small number to feel them all.

Chu Tian fell into deep thought.

What had the gnomes caught these things for?

Did they want to create life?To create life was a peak technology, it was hard to imagine the gnomes being able to accomplish this.

Clark explained, “In the underground world, there are countless beings like this who constantly harass us.We wanted to examine them to find their weakness, giving us a better way to deal with them.”

Chu Tian looked at a large Cave Spider and thought for a few seconds, “You’re saying that there are many of these creatures around here?”

“The underground creatures are not the same as the surface, they are much more resilient.Most of them gnaw on the dark plants underground or directly eat crystals. Like the Evil Eye, the Evil Demon, and the other monsters directly live in the crystal ore, directly gnawing on the crystal ore to increase their strength.They breed incredible quick and are endless like cockroaches or mice. I suspect that in the areas we know of, there are at least several tens of thousands of them. They cause a large headache for us.”

“That many?”Chu Tian’s eyes lit up, “Good!Very good!”

The gnomes looked at each other.What was the City Lord suddenly calling good for.

Were all these monsters hidden underground a good thing?

“Do you have a map?”

“Map?Of, yes!”

This was a map of the underground laboratory and clearly mark the positions of the palaces and railroads, as well as the surrounding mines and tunnels that have been explored.As for the places where dark beings occasionally appear, there were gnomes guarding that area. They were preventing them from attacking the laboratory and preventing them from attacking Green City.

This underground world was very complicated, it was like a giant maze.

According to what Chu Tian knew about this world, the light energy was distributed in the sky and the dark energy was deep in the ground.The deeper one went, the more negative the energy became. It was unknown how deep the Forest of Chaos underground world was, but what was certain was that there were evil dark beings deep in this world.

The gnomes did not dare explore too deep or explore too far, they were worried they would meet a terrifying monster they couldn’t deal with.But even on this level, there were still many monsters living here.

“Come, we’re going here to take a look.”

The place Chu Tian mentioned was a tunnel.

Because the opening looked like an open demon’s mouth and the stone was a terrifying dark red colour, people called this tunnel the Devil’s Maw.

Most of the underground monsters the gnomes met came from the Devil’s Maw, so the gnomes considered the Devil’s Maw a deeper and more terrifying underground space.In order to not annoy any beings they shouldn’t annoy, the Devil’s Maw was a place no one was allowed to explore.

“Elder!”

Several gnome guards stationed here saw the train stop at the Devil’s Maw station and immediately ran over out of curiosity to ask what was happening.

“Sir acting City Lord.”Clark looked at Chu Tian and asked, “Are you certain you want to go in?Even the gnomes cannot easily explore this place, even we do not dare explore too deeply.For you to face adventure in right now, I’m afraid…..”

“It’s fine,I’m not a fool.I’ll turn back once things aren’t right.”

“Alright then.”

Chu Tian drew his sword and walked in.

Delores followed without any hesitation.

Clark saw that he could not change Chu Tian’s mid, so he could tell the gnome soldiers to prepare themselves before leading some old priest in.At this time, Chu Tian had already moved forward quite a bit.

Delores looked at the surrounding rocks and spoke while walking, “The dark aura around here is very thick, it’s very uncomfortable.”

The fungus and vines in the Devil’s Maw were mostly a strange dark purple or blue colour and the stones were a dark red colour.The entire tone was dark with the cavern spreading in all directions, sometimes being narrow and sometimes being wide. Sometimes it would be very steep and sometimes it would cut off.In short, there were strange noises all around them, giving off an ominous feeling.

Chu Tian felt the fluctuations in the air, “There are monsters coming.”

Before his voice even fell.

A sharp sound came from all around them, as large figures came out one after the other.They moved very quickly and even in this rough terrain, they were able to move with such speed.

Other than Chu Tian, everyone was was in the True Spirit Realm.

Delores was prepared to make a move, but before she could even use the Demonic God Religion’s summoning technique, she felt like she had been hit several times.Instantly her head went dizzy as she couldn’t stand straight, falling onto Chu Tian beside her.

Chu Tian quickly supported Delores.

A fierce looking figure charged forward, sweeping out with several sharp claw strikes, attempting to rip Chu Tian and Delores to pieces.
