Chapter 304 - The Underground World, Paradise For The Weak
After walking out of the Star Plaza, Vincent walked straight into the alley behind the building.
After making sure that no one was pa.s.sing by, Vincent removed the cover of the sewer pipe and jumped in.
This was the secret Irene had told Vincent about. The underground world of the capital of Ultimate Evil was located in the sewer pipes.
This was because those who could escape to the capital of Ultimate Evil were not all high-level races like the vampires and the starlings. Some of them were even inferior to those ordinary compet.i.tive citizens. The creatures are rather weak. They had used the method of forging levels to blend into the system. There were also some races who were not as good at fighting. In fact, there were many of them who were tired of fighting from the bottom of their hearts.
They wanted to avoid the chaos outside of the capital of Ultimate Evil, but at the same time, they did not want to partic.i.p.ate in the internal chaos of the capital of Ultimate Evil. Hence, these creatures hid in the sewers and built an underground market that few creatures knew about. It was an underground market that was absolutely confidential and unknown to high-level races!
Those who could enter the place and successfully make a deal had to obtain the consent of more than half of the members before they could join. Even though Irene was the foster daughter of the capital of Ultimate Evil, she herself was unable to cultivate. Therefore, all the members were willing to accept her.
At the same time, Irene also had an advantage that no one else in the underground world had; that was that Irene could obtain a large amount of food, which could support the creatures living in the underground world. At the same time, food became the rarest material in the underground world. In this place, dark crystals were still the currency, but they could buy cheaper weapons, cheaper blueprints, and cheaper gossip!
This was also the main source of information and connections for Irene because only here would her strength not be discriminated against, and she could gain the trust of more creatures.
After following the route Irene had left for him, Vincent walked into a relatively s.p.a.cious s.p.a.ce, but he did not see Irene there. Instead, he saw Ebenezer, who was waiting alone.
Ebenezer hurriedly walked forward and said, "Master, you"re here! I"ve already distributed all the fake scrolls according to your instructions. At the same time, I"ve also let everyone in the capital of Ultimate Evil know about the method to modify authority!"
Vincent nodded and said, "I know! The current capital is now a capital that murders. There are fights everywhere. It"s a mess!"
Ebenezer thought that he had finally completed a task that could satisfy Vincent. He could not help but smile happily, and asked, "The current mess is the opportunity that master had created in order to leave the evil capital?"
"Yes, but this is only a small part of it. If you want to create enough time for us to leave, you must make the capital even more chaotic!" said Vincent in a deep voice.
Ebenezer nodded and asked with a high fighting spirit, "Then what are we going to do next?"
Vincent turned his head to look at the dark s.p.a.ce around him and said softly, "What we are going to do next is to find and wait!"
"Find who? Wait for what?" asked Ebenezer curiously.
Vincent let out a long sigh and said, "Of course we are going to find Irene, who should have come to receive us, and wait for the other people in the darkness to accept us!"
After hearing that, Ebenezer immediately looked around vigilantly and said with a guarded expression, "Master, you mean to say that there are other creatures who have sneaked into the underground tunnel? But I have never noticed it! Will Miss Irene be in any danger?"
Vincent patted Ebenezer"s shoulder and said, "From the looks of it, even if Irene is not in danger, she must have encountered some trouble! The two of us can"t stay here any longer. You have the advantage of the Shadow Demon Race. Go into the darkness and search for her. I"ll follow behind you. We"ll explore the depths of the underground tunnel together. But remember, no matter who you find, don"t hurt anyone unless you have no other choice!"
"Yes!" replied Ebenezer.
A thick black fog surrounded him. He hid in the darkness and silently explored the depths of the underground tunnel.
Vincent followed behind Ebenezer quietly. He carefully observed the movements around him.
Not too far away from them, in the gathering area of the tunnel, Irene was surrounded by a group of figures dressed in black robes. There were pairs of eyes filled with killing intent that could be vaguely seen under the black robes.
Irene appeared a little fl.u.s.tered as she said, "Please don"t misunderstand. I really didn"t mean any harm by calling them down! Moreover, we are only staying here for a few days, and will leave very soon!"
A black-robed man pointed at Irene and shouted angrily, "Hmph! What you say now is useless. The underground world has an iron rule that does not welcome anyone who likes to kill! Those who disobey will be executed to prevent the information of the underground world from leaking out!"
Irene shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, they are also creatures who hate killing. The reason why we want to hide here is to avoid the killing outside. Moreover, we will leave very soon! Please believe me. In the previous transaction, I didn"t deceive anyone. My integrity is something you can trust!"
"Stop pretending! We have already observed the two creatures who entered the underground world. One of them is a shadow demon who lives for killing, and the other is Fire Asura who has killed countless creatures in the Arena of life and Death. Do you honestly think that the two of them don"t like killing? Do you think we are three-year-old children?"
"That"s right. During your previous transaction in the underground world, you were introduced to Robert by someone else. In the end, you were deceived by Robert the next day. You must want these two creatures to help you vent your anger and take revenge on us, right?"
The group of black-robed men reprimanded Irene loudly. No matter how Irene explained, they just did not want to believe Irene"s sincerity.
"Don"t listen to her anymore. For everyone"s safety, we can only kill her immediately. After that, we will disperse and wait for the two outsiders to leave before making any plans!"
Some of the creatures could not suppress the killing intent in their hearts and stood out to encourage the others.
Although the creatures living in the underground world did not like killing, for the sake of their ideal peaceful life, they did not seem to have any other choice at that moment!
Just as everyone raised their weapons and began to approach Irene one by one, thin lines made of flames suddenly surged into the s.p.a.ce where everyone was. The flames then dispersed into the surrounding darkness. The ferocious expressions on everyone"s faces were reflected.
Just when everyone did not have time to react, a line of fire landed in front of Irene and suddenly exploded into a ball of flames. Vincent then walked out from the flames.
He looked at everyone provocatively and said disdainfully, "Come on! I want to see who wants to hurt Irene. You have to go through me first!"
