Chapter 486: The Choice of the Sewer
"leader."

In a hotel room in Waterdeep.

That day, the three people who said they wanted to investigate Li Zhongren at the Moonlight Tavern were gathered here.

"The Waterdeep Magic Academy brainwashed everyone who was in the tavern that day. Fortunately, you were cautious and cast the forgetfulness spell before leaving. The people in the magic academy were unaware of our presence."

"But, don't we really need to check him out?"

"unnecessary."

The man who sat there took off his cloak.

He revealed a face that even women would be jealous of.

At the same time, although the light in the room was not bright, the man seemed to have his own holy light.

If there were someone knowledgeable here, they would know.

This is actually the characteristic of the sunlight elves, which have their own holy light.

The Sunlight Elves, once the royal family of the elves, established a vast elven empire and once ruled nearly half of the continent.

However, they were eventually defeated by the human empire, and from then on the elves had to live in seclusion in the mountains.

This time, the purpose of their coming out was to find the princess of the tribe who had sneaked out. When she arrived at Waterdeep, she disappeared.

Or to be more precise, the positioning magic left on her body failed.

Therefore, the three of them were sent out by the current king of the Elf Kingdom to investigate the disappearance of the Elf Princess.

This is why one of the elves wanted to investigate.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if the Elf Empire collapsed, the existing Elf Kingdom is not something that ordinary forces can challenge.

As the darlings of nature, the elves have extremely profound attainments in magic. The magic they create will not easily fail, so when they encounter a strong one, they may become suspicious.

Of course, they are not particularly anxious.

The reason is also very simple.

The Elf Princess has another layer of insurance on her body.

Forbidden Spell: Sunlight Blessing
Once an irresistible crisis occurs, magic will be activated and a crystal body made of sunlight energy will seal the princess inside.

There is no corresponding unlock magic.

Even if forbidden spells were used to bomb it, it would take a very, very long time to blow it up.

Therefore, the princess' innocence and safety were most likely not a problem, which was why they only sent three elites to try to resolve the matter quietly.

"Our priority is still to find Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Yes, chief."

"After investigations over the past few days, we are certain that the last place the princess appeared was Waterdeep City. The spiritual consciousness of the Sunlight Elves can only be found here. Therefore, the princess must have encountered some irresistible danger and was protected by the Sunlight."

"Chief, I have a question."

"explain."

"I don't doubt the protection of the Sunlight Blessing, but as far as I know, the crystal seal behind the Sunlight Blessing can be moved, and the Sunlight Blessing itself will also seal the spirit consciousness of the elves. We can't really be sure whether the princess is still here."

"Don't worry, the king gave us instructions when we came out."

"Your Highness's Sunlight Guardian is different from others. It will take root in the ground and connect to the earth veins. Once activated, it cannot be moved."

"But we have already transformed Waterdeep. If there is the scent of Sunstone nearby, we will be able to find it."

"underground."

After a moment's silence, the leading sunlight elf said.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is very naughty. I guess she must have sneaked into the sewer city of Waterdeep.

Hearing this, the other two daylight elves couldn't help but frown.

Because the daylight elves are all mysophobic. Although they are not the kind that need to wash their hands dozens of times a day, they definitely do not want to go down to places like sewers unless they have no choice.

Unfortunately, they also knew that the leader was right. Their little princess might have been suppressed in the depths of the jungle for too long.

Very rebellious.

Maybe he will really get into that sewer.
"The underground waterway network in Waterdeep City is extensive, and countless people have expanded and renovated it."

"It is rumored that the underground waterway network has penetrated hundreds of meters underground. Even if the sunstone can release its aura, we cannot accurately locate it. Therefore, we can only rely on the sunstone compass to explore it bit by bit."

"Also, in order to be more accurate, the three of us need to separate and explore from three different directions so that we can locate the princess as quickly as possible."

"As you command, leader!"
-
Wearing a gas mask, closed clothes, and holding a lamp with a dark green light that is said to be able to burn for a hundred years.

Li Zhongren walked into the sewer of Waterdeep City.

However, as mentioned before, the sewers in Waterdeep are interconnected. If you don't know the way and don't have a map, it will probably be difficult to get out once you go down.

Fortunately, this time, Li Zhongren was here to complete the task assigned to him by Deepwater College.

A major cleanup is to be carried out in the area under his charge.

So he was equipped with special magic props.

Magic map.

Essentially, this thing is similar to the Marauder's Map from the Harry Potter series.

But the difference is that this thing can only show his own location on the map, and the rest are only past data. But no matter what, with the existence of this thing, it is impossible to get lost.

"Da~"

Accompanied by a falling sound.

Li Zhongren landed steadily on the ground.

Then he pulled out the map.

It feels like playing a game.

Li Zhongren couldn't help but complain.

Because the map was covered with fog, and it only showed the places where he existed, had been, and the target area he was going to explore, an area covered by a huge aperture. He had to explore this area thoroughly and kill those who were identified as threats by the map before he could complete the mission.

Obviously, this thing should be a deliberate defensive measure to prevent outsiders from obtaining the entire map.

But it is not without benefits. If there are any precious extraordinary materials within the perception range, it will also prompt.

This is also why Lilith said earlier that exploring underground waterways is a lucrative job.

"Walk"

He turned the lantern hanging around his waist, and instantly, the light became several times brighter than outside. In this long and deep sewer, it illuminated a distance of more than 20 meters, and the depressing atmosphere was swept away.

But it was still very quiet.

Everyone says that the sewer is very busy, but this busy is actually an adjective. It is not really like a vegetable market, crowded with people and noisy.

On the contrary, underground waterways have always been synonymous with silence.

It is like the fog of war, providing a safe place for all those in the gray area and even the black area to hide and trade. Maybe you can see it as a long sewer at first glance, but at a certain node, there is a door hidden, and through the door, you will reach the stronghold of a certain force. Therefore, in this case, Waterdeep City can kill certain targets at a fixed point. Obviously, their mastery of this sewer is far beyond people's imagination.

Are their people everywhere, or is this some kind of large-scale detection magic?

Li Zhongren feels that the former is more reliable.

Or to be more precise, it is the former plus the latter, a combination of people and maps, that forms a radar for each area.

After all, if it is the latter, these people in the gray area are not all fools.

Instead of being a piece of meat on the chopping block here, why not go somewhere else.

The combination of the former and the latter will produce some real points that will never be found, at least until they grow to a certain size. This can be considered a tacit understanding, probably.
"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

Three exquisite iron balls, like three bullets, pierced through the three monsters that looked neither human nor human.

They were probably all human beings once, but after living in this underground waterway for a long time, they gradually mutated.

Outside, these people are collectively called mutants.

It is no longer considered human.

However, it does not stop many people from deliberately becoming mutants. After all, the power of this thing is not small. Many times, ordinary people in this era may end up worse than these mutants.

"Roar!"

When Li Zhongren passed by one of the corpses, it suddenly bounced up.

Obviously, due to the mutation, its head is no longer a vital part.

Then, it hit the air wall.

The three-foot-high Qi wall is not unique to a certain type of Kung Fu. To put it bluntly, it is a means of releasing true Qi.

Therefore, Li Zhongren can also use this move of the thirteenth level of Dragon Elephant Prajna.

He isolated the mutants on the other side of the air wall, and then he raised his hand and threw a punch, and it seemed as if a huge fist mark appeared on the air wall.

It bombarded the mutant from a distance.

The huge force directly blasted it into pieces and scattered them all over the ground.

Then, Li Zhongren continued to move forward, and under the guidance of the map, he followed the twisting pipelines and finally arrived at the area where the halo was.

A wall and a heavy door.

"Hu~~"

Li Zhongren took a deep breath.

Veins were exposed all over his body, and the power of the ten elephants kept colliding, all converging on the ten dragons.
Finally, he drew his bow and arrow and fired a circle at the heavy door.

Bang! ! ! !

There was a shaking like an earthquake.

This heavy door turned red.
This is because the extreme metal deformation produces a blazing temperature
This is metal. If it were rock or something, it would have shattered immediately.
Creak~~
Creak~~
Li Zhongren tore the door off with both hands.
Inside, there was a huge space.

Then one by one, the costumes hidden under the cloaks appeared, and everyone was looking at Li Zhongren. Their movements were in unison, and it was obvious that they were from an organization.

"Hu~~"

Li Zhongren took a deep breath, without any nonsense, he raised his hands and slapped out with both palms!
"Dragon Elephant Prajna Power!!!"

"Roar!!"

In an instant, the roar of some prehistoric beast seemed to resound throughout the entire sewer.

Then, Li Zhongren shook his body, and thirteen dragons gushed out from his body, wandering in the sky and rushing towards this huge space.
"This should be the Waterdeep Cleaning Team."

In a corner, the three daylight elves were hiding. Although they were daylight elves, they could still use the dark spells used by the dark moon elves. After all, the moon was just a reflection of the sun, and the night elves were just servants of the daylight elves.
"What kind of monster is this?"

"I don't know, maybe some kind of monster."

In the eyes of the three daylight elves, this more terrifying monster that looked like a snake but was not a snake, and was made of energy, was wreaking havoc in this space, crashing and lashing. Most of the cloaked men couldn't even take a single blow.
In mild cases, blood may be vomited from the mouth, and in severe cases, tendons and bones may be broken.
"That's good. With him leading the way, we can relax."

The three people used triangulation in the underground sewer and finally located here.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, he could only sneak in using Dark Moon Magic and wait for an opportunity to conduct reconnaissance.

Now that someone is disrupting the situation, they are naturally happy.

"Wait, retreat!"

Suddenly, the leading sunlight elf felt a sense of crisis, which came from his countless life-and-death experiences.

He didn't even have time to hide himself and pulled his two subordinates back.

As for the source of the crisis.

After knocking over most of the men in black robes, the thirteen monsters actually gathered together.

Then, there was an explosion that was loud enough to make the ears lose perception.
The shockwaves of the explosion swept across the entire underground space.

After all the dust has settled.

All that was left were debris on the ground and a man in a black robe who was gasping for breath and seemed to have blocked the explosion through some secret method. Of course, his black robe was beyond recognition, revealing his makeup underneath. Half of his face had been rotten, and he looked more like a ghost than a human.

The hands and feet are highly alienated.

There is no doubt that this is a mutant.

Moreover, this mutant seemed to possess some ability to develop subordinates. I guess that's why Waterdeep City asked him to deal with this guy.

"Cough~cough~"

After coughing twice, the mutant slowly stood up.

He didn't say anything, but the pieces of flesh and blood on the ground seemed to come alive and gathered towards him.

In the blink of an eye, its body became extremely huge, like an ancient giant.

With an unwilling roar, the giant rushed towards Li Zhongren.

"boom!!"

The next moment, two fists, one large and one small, collided with each other.
With Li Zhongren as the center, the ground over ten meters around him pressed down almost at the same time, but Li Zhongren did not move at all. On the contrary, one of the giant's arms was broken, and Li Zhongren's fist seemed to be a nail, piercing into his fist.
"Give up struggling and accept the investigation, otherwise, you will die."

He shook his hands and the blood on them disappeared, because there was a layer of air mold on his body surface that isolated it from contamination.

Looking at the giant who was wailing in pain, Li Zhongren spoke.

It's not that he's soft-hearted or anything, but the mission said that the reward for capturing them alive is higher. After all, the mutants paid a huge price, and many of the abilities they gained are worth learning from.
"Hehehehe."

The giant stared at Li Zhongren.

A pair of huge eyes were full of red.

"Capture him alive and send him to the test bench?"
