Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

Field approached carefully and took a look inside.

The dark cave was almost suffocated by the stench.

"My Lord, please stay away from here first. I'll go down and take a look."

Ashina hooked her finger, and the dragon wolf immediately stepped forward, tore open the vines covering it with its claws, and then blasted a mouthful of blue dragon flame into it, burning the surrounding tentacles to ashes.

After waiting for a moment, when more air flowed into the cave, the dragon wolf jumped into it nimbly, followed by Asina.

"I'll go too."

Tishfa covered her nose and looked down for a long time, also curious about the situation in the cave.

𝟼𝟿sʜᴜx.ɴᴇᴛ】

"You wait up there." Field looked around the rugged mountains and whispered, "This place is very close to the Lord of Ion. If the Corruption suddenly attacks, Ashina and I will not be able to get out. You stay alert here."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but please be careful."

Tisifa stuck out her tongue, her expression suddenly changed, and pointed at the cave: "My lord, it's burning down there. Miss Ashina is not in danger, right?"

In the dark underground cave, a faint blue flame ignited. As the divine power surged, the flame burned bigger and bigger, turning into dozens of ghost-like dragon flames, floating in the air.

"Ashina's control of divine power is getting more and more sophisticated. That is the unique flame of the dragon wolf. Although it is hot, the damage it causes is frostbite, and burning does not consume oxygen. I don't know how it is done."

Field shook his head, picked up a rope beside him and tied it around his waist, pulled one with his right hand, and quickly descended.

With the illumination of the will-o'-the-wisp, Field could clearly see the surrounding environment.

"These stone walls and carvings cannot be formed naturally."

Ashina's hand rubbed a large stone, and various strange carvings appeared on it.

Looking around, this is an underground cave.

"Where did the slave who fell go?" Bent down, Field could see traces of falling on the ground, and traces of blood, "There is indeed a slave who fell."

"It should have been picked up by the corrupted monster."

Ashina sniffed the smell, then sneezed, pointing to the north: "The smell here is too bad, maybe in that direction."

"Well, there is the sound of a waterfall here."

Listening carefully, Field could hear the rumbling sound of water. He was about to take a step to check, but was immediately grabbed by Ashina.

Sir, when you arrive in a strange place, you must release your perception. "

Ashina covered her mouth and laughed, picked up a stone and threw it on the ground in front of Field. The stone actually sank slowly into the ground as if it fell into a swamp.

"What's going on? "

Stepping back two steps, Field reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He could see clearly that the ground in front of him was actually moving.

"It's an underground river, but it's blocked by a huge amount of corruption."

With a snap of his fingers, the dragon wolf immediately blasted the river surface. With a squeak, a large area of ​​corruption was burned to ashes, revealing the dark water of the underground river.

"Thanks to you."

Field quickly touched Ashina's head as a reward, and then exclaimed: "Where does this underground river come from? Let's go and see. If it flows from the Viscount's territory, it will perfectly collapse the cave directly. "

The two of them moved forward quickly along the underground river.

What shocked Field was that the further they went, the thinner the gray fog became, and the corruption blocking the river gradually decreased.

Until the two of them walked forward for a quarter of an hour, they found that the gray fog disappeared, and the underground river turned into a turbid dead water color. The direction of the water flow was flowing towards the gray fog area, so there was no corruption upstream.

"It's not polluted here. Can this water be drunk?"

Field was very excited. Although the underground river in front of him looked extremely deep and dark, it would be a huge gain if the drinking water problem could be solved.

Ashina also squatted by the river and stretched out her hand to scoop up some water.

The dark river water reflected a large area of ​​discolored corpse cocoons above the head.

"My lord, be careful above your head!"

Ashina immediately drew her sword and took a defensive posture.

Looking up, I saw corpses wrapped in white silk cocoons hanging above my head.

"There are people, that is the rioting slave. "

Glancing around, Field immediately recognized the slaves who had rioted. The slaves had long been dead, perhaps from falling or from monsters. But now his body was twisted, wrapped like a mummy, hanging high above.

Field was startled and glanced at the small map subconsciously.

"Oh no, the enemy is approaching!"

Perhaps because of the noise made by the two, a large number of red exclamation marks suddenly appeared on the map.

With the creepy crawling sound, large spiders with white bodies and red patterns emerged from all over the cave. Those red patterns, if you look closely, can be seen to be flowing blood, and the patterns outline human faces, which are extremely weird.

"Corrupted spider? Or Warcraft spider? It can travel through the gray fog, so it should be a corrupted creature, but it looks too vivid. "

Before Field could study it in detail, Ashina made her move.

She drew her bow and arrow, and the arrow carrying the power of winter, like a silver stream of light, directly shot a spider and exploded it into a large group of red and white fragments.

"Squeak!"

The spiders around rushed over, and the scales of the dragon wolf shone brightly. Brilliant flames burst out from the gaps between the scales, burning the surrounding air into a dark blue.

The spider that rushed up was smashed to pieces by the dragon wolf after just one encounter. The place where it was hit emitted a burning smell.

Seeing that the partner who rushed to fight was killed instantly, the other spiders showed humanized fear postures, their spider claws shrank slightly, and they retreated cowardly like a bastard.

The jewel-like eyes showed deep fear.

Field drew out the sword from his waist and was about to attack when he found that all the spiders had stopped and were trembling in fear.

"Huh? This is my first time encountering a monster waiting to die."

Ashina casually chopped one into pieces and found that the spiders looked like they were waiting to die. She immediately lost interest in fighting: "What a stupid approach. Waiting to die will not solve the crisis."

"Haha, rushing in can't solve the crisis."

Field stared at the big spider in front of him. A monster as big as a pig could be so spineless.

Ashina waved her hand lazily: "Hei Lang, use dragon flames to burn them all to death."

"Wait a minute, these gentle guys might be of some use."

Note that the hostility of the monsters on the mini-map is cleared. Field knows that these guys are no different from herbivores. They will attack you when they are angry, but when you show strong force, they will let you control them.

He used the hilt of his sword to poke the spider in front of him, but it just curled up into a ball without any intention of resisting.

Field touched them here and there, looked here and there, and nodded: "They are indeed not corrupted creatures, but how did they get through the gray fog?"

"Sir, many of their foods are also corrupt organisms."

Ashina used her bow and arrow to shoot down a corpse cocoon, and inside the cocoon was a corrupted deer.

"Maybe natural selection?"

Field was very surprised: "It doesn't seem like it. Otherwise, why don't we see animals immune to the gray fog in other places? Just the gray fog goblins... Wait, these guys can't be the Holy Light Gods. The chosen cub, right?”

"No, no, what am I thinking about?" Field patted his forehead. His recent thoughts had been distracted by Tisifa, and he sighed helplessly, "It would be great if I could talk to monsters."

"Aww~wow!"

The dragon-like wolf came up, its fierce face looked very "intelligent" in front of Field. It patted its head with its thick claws, and the sharp claws slapped on the scales of its head, and sparks even burst out.

"Can you talk to monsters?"

Field was shocked. He never knew that dragon-like wolves had such ability.

"This is the first time I know this. Could it be because of the advanced level?" Ashina scratched her head in embarrassment. As a chosen one, she didn't even fully understand the functions of the artifact.

Artifacts will advance as the chosen ones advance.

"You tell them to lie on their backs." Field gave the instruction tentatively. He was curious about whether it would be feasible to let the dragon wolf pass the message.

The dragon wolf raised its head proudly and made a strange sound in its throat.

Hearing the noise, the spiders suddenly swung their bodies and turned over one by one, with their bellies facing the sky.

"Damn it, is this still possible?"
