Chapter 365: Chapter 348 Are These Elves Crazy?
Because of the perilous environnt, the scale of an underground city was generally proportional to its strength.
The stronger the underground city, the more it was able to attract the settlent of underground races, naturally leading to a larger scale.
However, the Black Rock City in front of them, although it seed to have undergone so renovation and expansion, was still just a small town overall.
Seeing this, Huo Xu had so doubts in his heart,
*Were those rumors about resisting the shadow army and defeating the shadow dragon really true?*
Of course, although skeptical, as the leader of the group, Huo Xu couldn’t show his hesitation.
Besides, the True God’s oracle couldn’t possibly be wrong. Since she said that Black Rock City was a place of life, then they must not have discovered the true hope yet.
Thinking of this, Huo Xu cleared his throat and said to his companions,
“Everyone, don’t worry. Once we enter Black Rock City and et Lady Eno, everything will be clear.”
Lady Eno was the Temple Leader stationed in Black Rock City, a devout Divine Favored of the Death God.
Hmm… She was also the target of Hela’s Divine Possession twice.
Incidentally, Hela herself wasn’t short, it was just that she appeared short during Divine Possession because of the Underground Dwarves’ short stature.
But we digress.
Hearing Huo Xu’s words, everyone suppressed their doubts.
They tidied themselves up, ready to enter the city.
However, just as they were about to enter, they saw a group of tall figures approaching from the other side.
They were five elves dressed as rcenaries, with different professions: two spellcasters and three warriors.
Their gear was incredibly luxurious, each carrying a large backpack stuffed to the brim, walking toward the city gate, chatting and laughing.
“Death God above! Are those elves? I’m actually seeing wild elves in the Underworld! And they’re rcenaries!”
Seeing those dazzling figures, the Underground Dwarf couldn’t help but look at them with curiosity mixed with admiration and a bit of greed.
Not only him, but the other mbers of the group also looked surprised.
Honestly, they were mbers of the Elder Council from various city-states, so they had seen these so-called noble and beautiful long-lived species in their own city-state’s slave markets.
However, seeing elves in the wild was a first for them!
Not to ntion, these elves were nothing like the enslaved, vacant-eyed companions they rembered. These elves were full of life, with an eye-catching aura.
How should one describe it? Perhaps it’s because a person is defined by their attire. Adorned with exquisite equipnt, these elves appeared more dazzling than the elf slaves in their mories.
They talked, joked, and the bright smiles reflected by the phosphorescent stones above seed like light in the darkness, dispelling much of the gloom in the group’s hearts.
This was the effect of beauty.
For a mont, everyone naturally developed a slight fondness for these unfamiliar elves, instinctively associating them with words like “sunshine,” “kindness,” and “nobility.”
“Elf rcenaries?”
Unlike the others, Huo Xu’s expression beca serious.
Because he sensed a strong aura of death from them…
*How could there be a death aura on elves?*
As a Necromancer and Death Priest, Huo Xu was extrely sensitive to the aura of death.
These elves were not priests of the Death God, so the strong death aura on them could only co from one source—slaughter!
These elves… were far from being as sunny and kind as they appeared!
At that mont, one of the elves’ backpacks seed unable to bear the weight and suddenly burst open, a large, bloody object falling out…
It was a piece of demon beast at…
At the sa ti, the elf who accidentally tore the backpack exclaid,
“Damn! My food fell out!”
And the other elves quickly stopped, helping him to fix the torn backpack, saying casually,
“No worries, we can wash it and still eat it when we get back.”
Then, they gathered their belongings and entered Black Rock City as if nothing had happened.
Everyone: …
The underground races couldn’t help but shiver for a mont.
They looked at each other, seeing absurdity and astonishnt in each other’s eyes.
“Just now… he said food? They eat at? Elves eat at? Weren’t they supposed to eat grass?”
The Underground Dwarf’s voice was quite odd.
Huo Xu also looked shocked.
He pondered for a mont and said,
“Perhaps they are a mutant strain of elves? A race that migrated to the Underworld or sothing…”
After speaking, he took a deep breath,
“We’ve reached Black Rock City, let’s enter together.”
The delegation continued forward and quickly entered Black Rock City, stating their purpose to the city guards.
After verifying their identities, the Dark Dwarf guards guarding the city beca instantly respectful,
“The Temple Leader has instructed us in advance, please follow .”
After speaking, they led the group towards the Death God Temple of Black Rock City.
Upon entering Black Rock City, each mber of the delegation found it far more prosperous than they had imagined.
The place was bustling with people, and rather than a remote underground city, it looked like a flourishing trade city.
Of course, what surprised them the most was that upon entering the city, they saw a large number of elves!
Death God above!
Had the Elf Clan settled in Black Rock City?!
Not only that, but all the elves in the city wore splendid gear, their dazzling effects particularly striking in the deep underground world.
These elves were active throughout Black Rock City, doing business, passing through, and many were riding fierce giant spiders. The surrounding Dark Dwarves seed well accustod to their presence.
“Death God above! I’ve never seen so many elves in my life! If it were not so dark around, I would’ve thought I had co to the surface world!”
The Underground Dwarf said with a slight sigh.
Another Dark Dwarf in the group shook his head,
“Surface world? I’m afraid even in the surface world, you wouldn’t see this many elves.”
And as they moved forward, they heard a commotion and cheers coming from the side.
Huo Xu and the others looked instinctively and found it was two fully ard Elf Warriors fighting.
Duels were quite common in underground cities, and as long as they didn’t destroy city property, no one usually stopped them. But when the duelists were elves, it just felt a bit off.
And when the passing delegates saw the state of the two duelists, their expressions grew even more surprised.
The two elves were covered in blood, their wounds ghastly. One had even been split open at the belly, and intestines were visible, while the other had a shoulder cut off… The scene was extrely violent and bloody.
Yet the two elves were laughing heartily and continued fighting. Despite the life-and-death battle, they acted almost as if they were old friends, not caring about their wounds as they even chatted during the fight…
Clearly, these two weren’t dueling over personal grievances.
Seeing this scene, the delegates were stunned, their image of elves shattered, and yet they found it hard to comprehend,
“Are these elves… crazy?”
Huo Xu was equally shocked, but at the sa ti, he suddenly recalled so recent rumors from the Underworld…
Rumors about elves.
