Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1633  Chapter 1452: Dark Region

Despite Alex's meticulous plan to defeat the Dali Kingdom, he quickly learned the harsh truth that plans are no match for the speed of change.

After successfully eliminating the Chaos Lord, Alex initially intended to lead his companions in vanquishing the remaining two Lords and uncovering the cause of their bizarre transformation. However, the Chaos Lords were not to be underestimated, and they cunningly evaded Alex's pursuit. Just as Alex and his formidable group approached, the Lords swiftly retreated, leaving them unable to catch up. They could only watch helplessly as a portion of the ghost fleet was destroyed, while the rest escaped. Although they could have continued the chase, for the sake of safety, Alex ultimately abandoned the idea.

As the situation evolved, Alex found himself at a loss for words. He was compelled to postpone the pursuit and rethink his strategy. After a meeting, it was decided that Alex and a select few would embark on a special mission in the dark region, adapting their approach to the changing circumstances.

°°°°°

In this forsaken realm, the warmth of the sun never graced the land, and even the delicate glow of moonlight was forbidden. Darkness reigned supreme, casting its impenetrable shadow over everything. Within the boundaries of this desolate place, the only signs of life were the icy stone walls and unyielding rocks, illuminated by the flickering flames of the intruders' foolish torches. This was the domain of perpetual darkness, where light was forever banished.

Welcome to the Dark Region.

Most of the evil races were gathered here. The existence of darkness released all valves of desires. Creatures who couldn't survive on the surface or were chased to the underground grew up in the darkness. They abandoned their possessions, but received much more instead. Perhaps this couldn't be compared directly, but to them, there was nothing more important than gaining strength.

Gazing at the pitch-black cave, Neo rubbed his huge nose, extended his arm, and spurred on the underground lizard under him with a long whip. Along with this action, the massive, four-legged lizard dashed forward briskly. Even though it stepped on gravel and grit, no loud sounds were made at all.

Neo was the same as most dwarves: kind, smart, and adventurous. Some traveling poets termed dwarves as underground elves. Of course, no one agreed with this analogy in terms of their appearance. But if one were wandering in the underground exhaustedly, dealing with the assassinations of dark elves and cunningness manipulation of duergars, one would realize that only the city of dwarves was willing to open their doors and welcome one with open arms. Therefore, it wasn't hard to understand why the dwarves gained such praises. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Neo stared at the cave ahead and stretched his body tautly. Even though Neo had been through this path hundreds of times, he didn't let his guard down. No one knew when an enemy would show up. In the Dark Region, it was only when one returned to one's warm, lovely home that one could barely relax oneself. If it weren't for the huge remuneration, Neo wouldn't be willing to leave his safe den. He clutched a refined crossbow in one hand and the button above the rein in the other. This way, if he were ambushed, he could defend himself immediately and get into battle with the enemy. As a member of a race that had lived underground since ancient times, even though dwarves didn't seem as diabolical as dark elves or as cunning as duergars, if one were foolish enough to think that dwarves were pushovers, the dwarves would use their unique methods to remind them that they weren't only lucky to survive the harsh underground all these years. An army of dark elves avoided a heavily-guarded dwarf city, not to mention wandering creatures in the cave.

But recently, the situation seemed somewhat abnormal.

As an underground trader, Neo was aware of what was happening right now. Many clients of his decided to give up their territories and headed deeper into the underground. Some even sought to leave the underground and headed to the surface, which surprised Neo greatly. Just like fish in the ocean that never craved to go ashore, perhaps to residents on the surface, the underground world enveloped in darkness was a living hell. But creatures born in the underground never headed to the surface nor bathed in the sun. Be it the kind dwarves or sinister dark elves and duergars, they were all the same. Perhaps it sounded ridiculous, but to underground inhabitants, the surface was an unknown and dangerous place. It was just like how they could never understand why creatures living on the surface weren't afraid that they would fly into the sky one day. When one raised one's head and couldn't see the ceiling and solid walls, wouldn't they feel unsafe?

And now, since some inhabitants decided to escape this place and head to the surface, Neo felt like the situation wasn't as simple as he had imagined. Besides, what worried him was that according to some rumors, the nearby dark elf city was 'sealed off' completely, prohibiting anyone from entering and exiting. Not only that, but they also purchased huge amounts of resources as though they would be in lockdown for a year or two. Normally, Neo would cheer with both hands raised at this behavior. But now, he felt rather worried instead. For the situation to escalate to the extent where dark elves sealed off their city, it showed that a crisis might have occurred recently.

'Seems like I need to remind the others after heading back. If anything were to happen, at least they are prepared for it, isn't it?'

"…!"

At that moment, the four-legged lizard came to an abrupt halt. It stooped over in alertness, staring ahead. Neo tensed up instantly at its behavior. This underground lizard had been through special training. Not only could it roam about stably and silently, but it could also sense the presence of other creatures. If there were any dangers ahead, it would warn its owner immediately. Judging from its reaction, it seemed like it spotted some enemies ahead.

But shortly after, Neo discovered that the situation wasn't as he had imagined. Because the scarlet flames that illuminated the stone walls revealed the identity of the enemies.

Surface creatures.

Almost immediately, Neo witnessed several men in robes raising torches and sauntering out the other end of the tunnel.

Alex's group barged in and swiftly rescued the commander's soul before retreating.
