Arcane Universe - Chapter30

The six Tigerkin cubs were quickly eaten up by the Bear Goblin.

When the Tigermen arrived, they saw a group of Earth Spirit Bugbears and a ground full of Tigerman cubs' blood.

The Tigerkin roared furiously and pounced on the Bear Goblin …

When the Bear Goblin with the pagoda birthmark on its chest had its neck bitten off by a Tigerkin, the pagoda birthmark moved to the Tigerkin's chest …

The Tigerkin flattened the Bear Goblin in the blink of an eye and rushed in through the open gate of the fortress.

The drow reacted quickly and immediately organized a counterattack. They wanted to push the Tigermen out of the fortress gate, but the Tigermen kept rushing in from the gate. The gate of the fortress was crowded, and the Tigermen at the back simply climbed the wall to get in.

As the fortress had not been officially opened, there were no guards on the walls. The Tigerkin with sharp tiger claws climbed the stone wall as if it was flat ground.

A fierce battle that Drow and the Elves could not understand unfolded …

Feng Chou and the other two who were watching from afar almost cheered.

Simon and Anrui were excited, but for some reason, Feng Chou looked a little anxious.

The battle ended with the Tigerkin's pyrrhic victory. More than three hundred Tigerkin came in full force, but less than thirty of them were able to walk back!

After confirming that all the Tigerkin had retreated from the fortress and entered the depths of the underground forest, Feng Chou and the other two quietly returned to the fortress.

When they entered the fortress, everything in front of them was like hell.

Inside the fortress, six to seven hundred corpses were piled up in a small area. There were even corpses piled up on top of each other in some places. Blood flowed and gathered, even forming small blood puddles in some low-lying areas!

While Simon and Anrui rushed up to take some of the high-grade Drow's equipment, Feng Chou followed his connection with Qiankun Pagoda and flipped over a few corpses. He saw a snow-white jade pagoda lying under a Tigerkin's corpse.

Feng Chou reached out and touched the jade pagoda lightly. The jade pagoda disappeared, and a pagoda birthmark appeared on his chest.

After retrieving the jade pagoda, Feng Chou let out a long sigh of relief. He did not have time to check the loot from Qiankun Pagoda and joined Simon and Anrui in looting the spoils of war.

After the three hurriedly took some of the high-grade Drow's equipment, they hurriedly passed through the fortress and entered the cave that they had been thinking about day and night.

On the surface, Simon and Anrui's loot of the loot was more than Feng Chou. after all, Feng Chou was the weakest.

The two of them occupied the best batch of equipment, but in fact, Feng Chou's loot was more than ten times more than theirs. This was because the two of them could only use their hands to carry the equipment, but Feng Chou had a Mini Chiliocosm. When the two of them were not paying attention, Feng Chou even took dozens of corpses and put them into Qiankun Pagoda.

If it were not for the fact that Qiankun Pagoda could not be exposed, Feng Chou would have emptied the entire fortress, let alone the corpses on the ground.

After entering the cave, Simon asked, "Have you thought about it? The exit on the surface of this cave might be guarded by humans who are working with these Drow. How are we going to get out?"

Anrui said, "Don't worry. This cave leads to a huge cave system. There is more than one exit."

Simon was relieved when he heard this.

The three of them walked along the slanted cave for about two to three kilometers. The ground under their feet began to level out, but the cave began to become more complicated. More and more forked caves appeared in front of them.

As they walked, Feng Chou seemed to have discovered something. There was an expression on his face that said, "I knew it."

The reason for this expression was that Feng Chou recognized this cave.

When Leo was young, he knew that there was a deep and complicated cave not far to the east of his father's castle. But at that time, people did not know that the cave was so deep. For many years, this cave was treated as an ordinary cave and was not taken seriously.

It was not until the children of the people in his father's territory got lost in the cave that his father sent people to search the cave. Only then did they realize that the cave was so deep and so big.

After some exploration, people found that the cave was connected to a huge cave system with more than one exit.

Later, the children were found in the cave. They were just a little frightened and were not injured.

After finding the children, although they were far from understanding the entire cave, Leo's father stopped further exploration of the cave.

More than a year ago, Leo's father planned to build a dam and an irrigation canal in the valley in the east of his territory. With the dam and the irrigation canal, thousands of acres of fertile land could be cultivated at the foot of the mountain in the east.

However, it was a little far from the castle. Generally speaking, the radiation range of a castle was at most five kilometers. Beyond this range, the time spent on the road would not be worth it. But the distance from the foot of the mountain to the castle was more than ten kilometers.

In this world, humans could not live in the wilderness without any form of defense. For ordinary farmers, that would be like sending meat to the jaws of Gnolls or other wild creatures. Even the smallest territory had to have walls, arrow towers, and simple stone castles, as well as other defensive facilities.

But Leo's father, the Knight of Erik, did not have the money to build a new castle. So he set his eyes on the cave.

The cave was very dry and had no moisture. It was spacious and well-ventilated. Not only could people live in it, but it could also store food. The Knight of Erik planned to transform the cave into a fortress with defensive functions.

For this purpose, Leo's father planned to thoroughly explore the cave to make sure there were no dangerous creatures in it.

The first few explorations went smoothly. After making sure it was safe, Leo, who had returned home from the magic school, was even allowed to explore the cave.

But as the exploration went deeper, people seemed to have made an amazing discovery.

Leo did not know what happened next because his father did not tell him about the amazing discovery. More than a month later, on the night before Leo went back to school, a group of Drow raided his father's castle.

In fact, when Simon guessed that there was a passage to the underground world in Leo's territory, Feng Chou thought of this cave through Leo's memory. But he was not sure, so he did not say it out loud.

Under the guidance and guidance of Feng Chou, the three of them successfully drilled out of a narrow cave behind the mountain peak.

Fortunately, when they came out, it was night. If it was daytime, their eyes would not be able to adapt to the strong light outside.

Seeing the stars again, the three of them were very excited, but their expressions were different.

Simon knelt on the ground with his hands crossed in front of his chest. He muttered to himself as if he was praying.

An Rui stared blankly at the stars in the sky. Tears streamed down his cheeks.

Feng Chou clenched his fist tightly, suppressing his urge to shout to the sky.

After a few minutes, the three of them controlled their emotions.

Under the guidance of Feng Chou, they crossed a ravine, walked along the hillside for a distance, and climbed up a ridge.

When the three of them reached the top of the ridge, an endless plain vaguely appeared in their vision under the dim light of dawn.
