…
After finishing his communication with Hill, Qin Lun thought for a moment and covered his right eye with his palm. His exposed left eye lit up slightly, revealing a Yin Yang Fish pattern of azure ice flames and dark green ancient vines.
This eye was a mutation of the bio-equipment Gannett’s left eye and the hunter’s full-time skill [Detection Aura], forming a pupil skill called [Gaze Aura].
After opening the gaze halo, Qin Lun’s vision turned into a three-dimensional projection made up of black and white lines. His perceptual beams surged in all directions like waves. The thick stone wall of the sewer was nothing in his eyes, leaving only a few sketch lines.
The snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the depths of the sewer stopped vigilantly, as if they were listening to something. The next moment, these little creatures seemed to have been whipped, and they frantically fled into the distance.
Qin Lun smiled faintly. When he entered the world, he did not choose to conceal his divine domain. In addition, he had just released a bit of demonic aura. It would be strange for these sensitive little animals not to escape.
“It’s so big down here. There are many forks!” After observing the fleeing direction of the snakes, insects, rats, and ants for a while, Qin Lun finally frowned again.
He had driven away these little animals just now, but of course, he wasn’t stuffed to the brim. These small animals, who live here regularly, instinctively flee to their nests or survive in times of danger, thus avoiding blind exploration.
However, these creatures didn’t give a specific direction until they escaped from Qin Lun’s range of perception. The range of the gaze halo could reach several hundred meters if the perceptual density was thinned out. These small creatures flew everywhere, indicating that the network of tunnels here was extremely large. It was really possible that it was the sewer system of the entire Bird’s Gate.
“This is really troublesome!” Qin Lun helplessly rubbed his temples. The sewer system usually had underground wells connected to the ground, but he didn’t know where to go. If he wasn’t lucky, he could find them for a few days. The three of them had a very precious time staying in Toril World.
“Forget it, let’s use that thing to explore the path. What a waste!” Qin Lun sighed and waved his hand. A black light flashed in front of him. A ferocious stone statue that was more than a meter tall and had bat wings on its back appeared out of thin air and smashed heavily onto the right side of the sewer.
“Wake up!” With a thought, two purple rays lit up in the eyes of the stone statue ghost made of obsidian crystal. He silently raised his head and stared at the youth in front of him.
This statue ghost was not produced in the mission world, but was a work of some Apostle who also majored in alchemy. This item was not a one-time consumable, but every time it was used, it required magic crystals to be consumed. At the same time, the components needed to be replaced frequently, making it easier to damage than the original product in the mission world.
However, compared to the statue ghosts obtained from the mission world, this replica made by Apostle also had its own benefits. The statue ghost in the quest world was a pure alchemy item. It required the control center of the spell activation. As for the Apostle item, there was no need to be so troublesome. It was connected to Apostle by will, making it easier to operate.
When the statue ghost received Qin Lun’s consciousness, it shook its bat wings. Its two strong hind legs suddenly kicked, jumped into the air, spread its wings, and glided towards the depths of the sewer.
The statue ghost was a medium-sized statue-type alchemy object. It stood upright and was only slightly shorter than Qin Lun. Its wings were about two meters wide. Fortunately, the sewers at Bird’s Gate were very wide, and the statue ghost’s movements were agile. Otherwise, it would probably not be able to use it here.
“Wait for news about those two!” After releasing the statue ghost, Qin Lun sat down cross-legged on the aisle of the sewer. His consciousness connected to the statue ghost’s field of vision and explored the fork nearby.
There was another Stone Statue Ghost in his storage space. However, connecting the Stone Statue Ghost with his consciousness also required a lot of energy. Moreover, he didn’t know if there would be any danger here. Of course, he couldn’t let himself use up too much energy.
After a while, Qin Lun’s patience gradually wore off. The underground space here was simply too large. The Stone Statue Ghost had already explored more than a dozen forks nearby, but it had never been able to find an underground well that connected to the ground.
On the other hand, the Apostle Soul Seal had a notification indicating that he had obtained a map of the sewers in the Gate of Bird. Of course, this map was limited to what he had already explored. The other directions were all dark.
Qin Lun couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart as he looked at the part of the map that had already been discovered. Compared to the undiscovered part, it was only the size of a fingernail.
“Qin Lun, we got some information about your surroundings!” Fortunately, good news finally came from Hill.
It turned out that the place he was in was indeed the sewerage network of Bird’s Gate. There was a reason why the sewerage here was so wide.
Before the Gate of Bode rose, it belonged to the legendary pirate Bodean. At that time, there were many pirates and bankrupt farmers gathered here, and because of the stolen goods and consumption brought by pirates, it attracted a large number of merchants, resulting in a deformed prosperity, and finally became a port city led by the council.
However, because of the selfishness of the Merchants Council, the pirates did not include the dock area in the construction of the outer wall, resulting in heavy losses in the orc attack. All of this changed after Bodean’s return. The legendary pirates killed almost the entire city council and built a bridge in the dock area and the inner city. This was the origin of the Bodean Gate.
Apart from the Bird Gate, the other pirates had to consider Bodean’s frequent sea trips, so they could not give them shelter all the time. Therefore, the pirates jointly financed the construction of a huge sewer system underground in the city.
The sewerage system is not only sewage, it is part of a network of tunnels in the dock area during the war and is also a secret outlet to the sea. When enemies invade, pirates store water in these tunnels to temporarily hide their ships.
The tunnel Qin Lun was in wasn’t actually the widest, and the sewer outlet of the hidden pirate ship was several times larger than here.
“It’s really good news, but did you find out how to get out? You can’t let me swim into the sea along the exit, right?” Qin Lun had a bad premonition.
‘”Well … according to what we’ve heard, the era of Bodean was too far away. In the development of Bodean Gate, not only were pirates, but even the sects and sects in the city used the underground network as a refuge. This sewer network was expanded several times later.”
Hill smiled bitterly. “Rand also heard that even slave traders and smuggling gangs sometimes used it as a nest, and that many fake underground wells and secret doors were set up to guard against city guards’ searches. No one can understand the entire sewer network until now. You are a completely different underground world from the surface of the city. ”
“Qin Lun, rather than finding the underground well that connects to the ground, it would be better to swim directly into the sea from the exit. That would seem to be more reliable!” Hill added quietly on the guild channel.
“No way!” Qin Lun covered his face gloomily.
“Haha, alright, Hill, stop teasing him.” Rand couldn’t help but laugh, “Qin Lun, we’ve already thought of a way for you to get out of there.”
“What method?” Qin Lun smiled. He couldn’t tell the direction underground. However, the two people on the ground couldn’t tell the direction. There should be a way to help him. Otherwise, he wasn’t the only one wasting his time.
“Entering this world as a team, we shouldn’t be too far away from each other. However, I can’t sense your presence for the time being. Next, Rand and I will try in all directions until I contact you with inspiration.” Hill replied with a smile.
Before entering this world, Hill had already used the Spirit Suction Monster’s brain. At this time, he was already a Second Grade Chaos Priest. Originally, Kieran planned to let you advance after entering Toril, so that you would have a chance to reduce the difficulty of the mission.
However, Hill said that since the quest world had been confirmed and they were going for the epic plot, it didn’t seem that there was any difference between advancing one step earlier and advancing one step later. Moreover, anything could happen in the mission world. It was not safer to directly advance in the starry sky.
After Hill absorbed the Spirit Absorbing Monster’s brain, apart from not being able to obtain the lowest chance of obtaining the divine domain, he had obtained all of the other innate abilities, including the Spiritual Burst skill that only had a 30% chance of succeeding.
After obtaining the Spiritual Shock Burst, Hill also received a piece of information that no one knew about beforehand.
It turned out that there was a 30% chance of a Spiritual Burst. If Apostle’s perception and mental attributes were high enough before absorbing the Spirit Absorber’s brain, and he also had some psychotic skills, then the chance of obtaining a Spiritual Burst would increase by 30%.
Since Hill had changed his profession to a priest, he had several psychiatric skills and had a 45% chance of obtaining the Spiritual Burst. He was very lucky to obtain this skill.
Actually, Qin Lun had also considered this method that Hill had come up with. However, he intended to forcefully use the Gaze Aura to find the two people on the ground. Of course, compared to passive telepathy, if he continued to use the Gaze Aura, then the consumption would be extraordinary.
“If we want to use this method, there’s one last problem.” Qin Lun thought for a while and said, “Even if you use your inspiration to find my location, we are still on the ground and underground. We can’t meet for the time being.”
“That’s right, that’s why we still need the help of some people!” Hill revealed a strange smile.
