Chapter 553: Leading the way?

Chapter 553: Leading the way?

The Red-Bearded Giant is known as the 'Son of the Volcano' and belongs to the sub-giant race. An adult Red-Bearded Giant is about six or seven meters tall, while a pure giant is usually twenty to thirty meters tall.

Although the sub-giants are not as big as the giants, they have unique advantages, otherwise they would not have become the dominant race in the North.

As the overlord of the North, the Red-Bearded Giant is naturally not someone that is easy to mess with. Ivan is not prepared to provoke him. This time he just came to explore the way and build a small station by the way as his underground research base.

As for developing human settlements, as the King of Trees said, this can only be done slowly.

Either there is a good enough opportunity, or the overall strength of the wizards has been improved, or there is a breakthrough in a certain aspect of technology, otherwise the mission can only wait.

"This is the underground world. It is indeed dark."

"Fuss."

This time, Ivan also did not come alone. He had previously received these people in the hunting space of Silver Moon Blade, and he released them only after they successfully arrived in the northern border.

Caspar also came, and it was he who made the exclamation.

There were also Locke, Angela, the Marsh Ant, the Silkworm Queen, the Fire Scorpion, and Tanya, who insisted on coming, but she didn't bring Grace and Mara this time.

"Ivan, why don't you also put the Lansuo into the interior space of the Silver Moon Blade?"

"Do not want to."

"What's the reason?"

"The airship is large in size. It consumes my strength in vain when I retract and release it. Why should I do such a thankless task?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have customized a small, lightweight airship."

Among the group, Tanya was the only one who was so particular. Ivan himself was used to sleeping in the open air, and did not think that being carried by the marsh ants was much worse than taking an airship.

But if Tanya wants to make trouble, Ivan will not refuse.

In the following days, the group traveled from north to west, then to the border between the western and southern borders, and finally, under the leadership of Angela, they entered a secret passage and went deep into the thick rock walls of this area.

The terrain of the underground world is more complex than that of the surface. In addition to the clearly divided four regions of east, west, south and north, there are also many hidden areas deep in the rock walls.

Right now, the group is heading to such a hidden place - the Centaurus Basin.

"I think your people's faces will be very interesting when they see you," Tanya joked.

"If Elder Thor hadn't passed the news back to the tribe, the tribe would have thought I was dead. After so many years, they might have forgotten me."

Angela responded calmly.

"I hope you won't regret it." Tanya glanced at Ivan, hinting at something.

"Absolutely not. The Centaurs need a force to break the current situation. Otherwise, they will continue to decline until they are completely destroyed." Angela said seriously.

As they were talking, the group continued to move forward along a long and narrow path.

The narrow path is winding, with branches and secret passages from time to time, making it really hard to guard against.

The rock formations of the underground world can also block spell tracking.

If it weren't for the Centaur Princess leading the way, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to find the correct path. Even the knowledgeable Ivan was amazed.

"No wonder no one can find any trace of you. This place is more like a dead end than a dead end."

"It's too peaceful, causing the tribe to lose the sharpness of a knight. In a hundred years, I think they should be called farmers and gardeners."

Angela didn't feel any guilt at all about being a 'guide'. In her opinion, with the current situation of the Centaurs, they would be doomed sooner or later.

It is better to let your man intervene, so that the Centaurs will always have a future.

"Don't worry, this wizard never bullies the weak, and I have no ill will towards you, the Centaurs. I will not do anything that would anger the heavens and the people as Tanya imagines."

"I don't imagine that."

After hearing what Ivan said, Tanya certainly didn't want to admit it.

"No, I hope you can come forward and take care of it, even if the Centaurs have to pay a heavy price." Angela shook her head. "We'll see what happens." Ivan is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

In this way, the group continued to go deeper into the rock layer until they arrived at a place full of ruins. The view in front of them became open, but this was not a good place, and it was filled with a foul smell.

“This was originally where the Centaurs lived. Later, our ancestors in the cemetery mutated and turned into Centaur hunters one after another. Our tribe had no choice but to abandon this place and retreat to a deeper basin.

Since then, this place has never been reclaimed, and it has become a deadly place for the tribesmen who go out.”

Standing in front of the ruins, Angela couldn't help but draw out her sword and stared at the place fiercely.

When she was ordered to go out that time, many of her companions died here. She still remembers it vividly, and the hatred and anger in her heart continue to surge out.

"Go ahead, I'll leave it to you to clean up."

Ivan heard the noise and casually gave instructions to the people around him.

All of them were strong, and faced with the dried-up Undead Hunter that was only skin and bones, they showed no fear and followed Angela to kill him. Even the fastidious Tanya was no exception.

"Haha, kill!"

"Don't grab it, don't grab it, this is mine."

So many years have passed since the Centaurs' glorious days, and their strength has declined drastically. Correspondingly, the strength of the Undead Hunters has also declined a lot.

At the end of the battle, Ivan didn't even get a chance to attack, and the area was swept by others.

No wonder Angela said that the Centaurs would sooner or later become farmers or gardeners. We can get a glimpse of this from the situation here. Why would they be blocked by such a group of hunters?

"Thank you, thank you very much!"

Such a battle is not worth mentioning to other people, but to Angela, the Centaur Princess, it is of extraordinary significance. It is like moving a mountain pressing on her head, although it is only a not very high or heavy mountain.

After this episode, the group continued to go deeper and soon came to a cliff.

Angela fumbled around the cliff for a while, but couldn't open the path leading inside for a long time, which made her look more and more embarrassed.

"Just find another way."

At Ivan's signal, the marsh ants moved to the front of the cliff. A black light flashed slightly, and the rock and soil in front of them immediately began to wriggle, making way for a passage.

The others followed behind Ze Yi.

After walking a distance that was neither long nor short, the group appeared in front of a paradise illuminated by sunlight. This was the secluded place of the Centaurs.

What left them speechless was that the Centaurs hadn't even noticed they had arrived here.

"They didn't even assign anyone to guard the only passage. These guys are so unscrupulous!"

The situation here made Angela feel embarrassed and deeply disappointed, and the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

"There is a special situation." Ivan sensed more movement.

"what?"

"Someone is getting married. It seems we came at the wrong time."

Although Ivan said this, he did not stop moving forward. Seeing that no one came to stop him, he led his group to the small town in the basin.

The closer they got to the town, the darker Angela's face became.

I have to say that today's Centaurs are too unvigilant, which is really a bit unreasonable.

Angela was not just angry. She was also worried that her people performed so poorly that they might not be in the eyes of Wizard Ivan and would miss the opportunity in vain.

A bunch of idiots!
"Who?"

After entering the small town, the group was finally discovered. (End of this chapter)
