MMORPG: The Elementalist

One thousand and four hundred kilometers!

After Qin Ruo heard this from Edgar, he was surprised . Based on the Aquamorph"s speed, it would take a few days to reach the destination . There was no guarantee that Qin Ruo could find the little camp even after the traveling . On top of that, Edgar also said that he was not sure either .

Oh G.o.d!

Who knew whether this estimated distance was accurate or not .

Qin Ruo felt even more depressed after he heard Edgar"s consolation .

“Level up to Tier 6! You"ve got to be kidding!”

Leveling up in the Underworld was a good idea as the experience points in the Underworld was far more than on the Mythical Continent . However, it was too dangerous for Qin Ruo as he was soloing in the Underworld right now .

Qin Ruo felt depressed and slowly sat down beside Edgar"s tent .

Obviously, the situation was bad right now .

Anyway, this was not the first time that NPC warned him about the Underworld"s peril . It was understandable that the camps in the Underworld did not have any Warp Portal . It could serve as a defense against Deathly Lich or other high intelligent Undead creatures that could use the warp portal to kill all humans in the Underworld . After all, human forces in the Underworld were still weak .

The most unacceptable thing was the distance between the camps in the Underworld . They were located too far away from each other . The situation was just pus.h.i.+ng people into desperation .

After calming down, Qin Ruo got more information from Edgar . “For the past few years, humans who entered the Underworld were being separated by the Underworld pa.s.sageway into different locations in the Underworld . There are no more than four hundred human camps in the Underworld . Try to imagine, there are no more than four hundred human camps in a continent that is that big as the Mythical Continent . The amount of the human camps available here are just like five hundred of the cities on the Mythical Continent…”

Hence, it was considered normal that the distance between each camp was about one thousand and four hundred kilometers . This also reflected the pressing situation of the human race in the Underworld .

To find Black Jail Clan"s camp, Qin Ruo needed to fly for over five days . Moreover, he might miss Black Jail Clan"s camp while he was flying . To make matter worse, Black Jail Clan"s camp might not even exist . He had a hard time deciding .

According to Edgar, there were many pa.s.sageways linked to the Buried City . However, every one of the pa.s.sageways were guarded by ma.s.ses of high tier Undead . There were also a Deathly Lich and Spectral Shaman among them . Such an army combination posed difficulty even for a DemiG.o.d Champion .

Edgar also mentioned that it was even harder to find the warp portal to return to the Mythical Continent .

Since Hades already ordered Deathly Lich and its army to attack Mythical Continent, the guardians who were defending the Mythical Continent"s warp portal have increased their alertness too . It could be possible that the Abyssal Vampire or Sp.a.w.n of Hades themselves would guard it as well . It was pointless to think of breaking through that .

The only chance for Qin Ruo was to level up to Tier 6 and then wait for more high-level players to enter the Underworld . After gathering enough people, they should be able to break through the defense of the Deathly Lich and Spectral Shaman and use the warp portal in the Buried City to return to the Mythical Continent .

“d.a.m.n it . ”

The last option had a high success rate for most DemiG.o.d Champions, but for Qin Ruo"s current level, it was like a suicide mission .

After some thinking, Qin Ruo was not able to come out with a better idea . Finally, he resigned to himself . He told the Black G.o.d of the undesirable situation .

“This means even you can"t get out from there?”

The Black G.o.d inhaled sharply .

Qin Ruo mumbled gloomily, “Yes . What I can do now is to listen to the NPC"s advice, survive and level up in the Underworld . After more and more Tier 5 players come here, we will work together and get out from the Underworld . Those people from Black Jail may need to wait for a few days . So let"s wait for a few days, perhaps the situation may be better after a few days…”

Black G.o.d suddenly sighed and said, “Not likely… There is already no one who dares to enter the Underworld . ”

“Huh?”

Qin Ruo was startled and quickly responded, “You all have already spread the news?”

“Not us, it was the Clan Leader of a small Clan . After he entered the Underworld, he died many times and was unable to get out from the Underworld . The Clan Leader could not even get help from others . Hence the news was spread in the Clan"s channel . From there, many players started to leave the Clan . He even decided to delete his account and retrain again . Anyway, this matter has already spread widely . Even players from the Demon Faction have received the news as well . There is already no one who dares to enter the Underworld . ”

After hearing what Black G.o.d had said, Qin Ruo started to feel dispirited…

Initially, Qin Ruo had planned to wait for other players to come here and escape from the Underworld together . However, since the news had spread, even Tier 5 Champions might not have the courage to enter the Underworld, not to mention Tier 5 normal players .

After all, almost everything in the Underworld was not linked to outside . Players were unable to withdraw money and use the Bank Vault . Except for the player"s equipment and inventory, everything else required the ways of the Underworld . Regardless of which Cla.s.s, no single player was able to solo and survive easily in such a depressing situation .

It was imaginable that once such news went out, there would be no Tier 5 player who dared to enter the Underworld, except for those arrogant or supremely experienced players .

“s.h.i.+t!” Qin Ruo cursed in a low voice .

“Sorry . ”

“Nah, big brother Black, you don"t have to apologize . There will be even more people stuck in the Underworld if you did not a.s.sist us . I still owe you one . No worries, I can still handle it from here . Just that I cannot join you all and kill the Deathly Lich for a Divinity Crystal . ”

Qin Ruo was very optimistic about this .

Anyway, there were still Ace of Spades and Violet Orchid to take care of the Clan . There was nothing much for Qin Ruo to worry about . He could still feel free to train in the Underworld . Even though he was outnumbered in the Underworld, he still had the Ring of Honor with him . This should be able to help him for these few days .

After cheering on Black G.o.d, Qin Ruo sighed heavily . He then contacted members in his Clan and briefly explained the situation he was encountering right now .

“Since I am not around these few days, you guys go ahead and organize some activities . If possible, please gain more Honor Points and Legendary equipment from Deathly Liches . Do work with Sister Violet if it is too hard!”

“Do not worry, Clan Leader, Just a Deathly Lich . I can guarantee that when you come back, there will be twenty or thirty Angelic Wings in our Clan!” Black Rock a.s.sured confidently .

At the same time, a younger voice came in, “Boss, you must not die inside . I heard from people on the forum saying that the Underworld is very scary . ”

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, don"t you know who your boss is? I am the Winter Demon! I have already killed six or seven Deathly Liches . I had even defeated a Tier 4 Ultimate Boss . Who can stop me?” Qin Ruo jokingly retorted . He then said, “Alright then, I must move on already . There are many advantages in the Underworld . The amount of Undead here and their experience points are higher than in the Buried City . I need to start farming them already . You all can take a close look at the Leaderboard from time to time . I may be on the top soon . ”

“Great!”

“Stop boasting . ”

“Hey, when I come out from the Underworld, I must see that you are higher than Tier 4 . Or else I will smash you!”

After jokingly scolding within the Clan channel, Qin Ruo stood up and walked toward the Divine Chemist inside the other tent, Yaeger the Bandit .

Since Yaeger was a Divine-rank Chemist, Qin Ruo thought that he must have some rare items, like Mikel"s Great Tree Sap or Isabella"s Special Roasted Snails . Underworld was not that bad if there were such items for sale here .

Just as he went into Yaeger"s tent, the Bandit looked at him . Qin Ruo heard Xiaoxiao"s voice coming in with a hint of worry .

“Ruo, is the situation in the Underworld worse than what is mentioned on the forum?”

Qin Ruo had underestimated how well Xiaoxiao understood him . Based on the conversation just now in the Clan channel, Xiaoxiao was aware that Qin Ruo was acting strange . He would not purposely announce in the Clan if it was really a small matter . The only reasonable explanation was that the situation in the Underworld was far worse than what he had checked previously . He might need to stay in the Underworld much longer than just a few days .

Qin Ruo sighed deeply .

Qin Ruo had no choice but the tell Xiaoxiao everything, as he knew that he could not lie to Xiaoxiao, the one who understood him very well .

“… This is the situation, not that bad actually . At least my life is not in danger . Worry not . ”

“How can I not, knowing your current situation? I want to go in and help you . ”

“No!”

Qin Ruo said, “If you come in, it means that there will be one more person trapped in the Underworld . And it is very hard to find me . On top of that, what is going to happen to our Clan if you come in? You must take good care of Fallen Angels in my place . Don"t you forget… Black Rock and the others treat you as Fallen Angels" mistress… My girlfriend . ”

“You be careful then . ”

Xiaoxiao"s voice became a little strange .

“Huh, there is no objection? Eh, to be honest, you…”

Just as Qin Ruo wanted to tease Xiaoxiao, he heard Xiaoxiao yell in a high tone, “Ah!”

“Sister Violet is looking for me, I need to go now . ”

“Sister Violet?”

Qin Ruo had not finished what he wanted to say .

“Sister Violet, were you looking for Xiaoxiao just now?”

“Me? Looking for her?”

“… She said you were looking for her . ”

“Whatever for?”

“… Hmm, nothing then . ”

Qin Ruo smiled peculiarly and dropped the conversation . He looked up and saw the Bandit, who wore a mask covering his face, leaving only a pair of eyes visible .

“What do you need? Spit it out quickly . You are interrupting me . ”

Qin Ruo was startled and apologized hurriedly . It was indeed he who was showing disrespect as he came into the stranger"s tent and talked to other people . Especially when the stranger was working .

“Ugh… sorry, I just wanted to see what you are selling . ”

The Bandit looked at Qin Ruo impatiently . “Tell me what you need . There is no need to see what I am selling . I don"t have the time to waste on you . ”

“Enough Yaeger . He is new here and doesn"t know the rules . Can"t you be more polite?”

“Hmph!”

The Bandit grunted and said no more .

Edgar then spoke again, “Enough, you stubborn mule… Qin Ruo, you just tell him what you need . He has everything you need . ”

“Really?”

Qin Ruo felt very excited now .

“Of course! As long as you have enough Mana Cores,” Edgar said, smirking .
