Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 155 The Great Whirlpool
In fact, as soon as Marvin arrived at the Stone Mountain, he used the Book of Naaru to call upon the chess piece he had buried in the dark world.
Dark Elf Riven.
When the underground creatures retreated, Marvin gave Riven an order.
Let her rebuild a group of forces in the underground world as much as possible - a group of faithless forces.
Because of the Book of Naaru, if Riven returned to the Dark Dragon God or the Spider Queen, she would most likely be discovered by these two gods.
Therefore, Marvin repeatedly warned that the force established by Riven must be composed of a group of non-believers.
Fortunately, in this era, the gods have not yet descended. Although the Underdark has a harsh climate and a difficult living environment, at least one-third of the creatures have gods they believe in - most of them are the Dark Dragon God and the Spider Queen; however, the beliefs of these creatures are as cunning and changeable as their nature.
To put it bluntly, these people are hypocrites.
They only believe in powerful strength, and if the Dark Dragon God and the Spider Queen can bring them benefits , then they don't mind working for them.
Similarly, most creatures in the Underdark have no faith.
After the Black Dragon Clark was defeated, Riven, as a fourth-level quasi-legendary master, quickly gathered a group of people in a small town.
It was also a matter of luck that the force she established happened to be in the eastern part of the Great Whirlpool, the Piliang Mosuo Caves, a relatively peaceful area in the Underdark.
It was also because of this that she was able to survive the invasion of the dark ghost.
Through Raven's narration, Marvin and Jessica gradually understood the current situation of the dark world.
…
In general, the underground creatures are having a very hard time right now!
At least one-third of the Underdark had been abandoned by them, either by retreating on their own initiative or being devoured by the Dark Ghosts!
According to Riven, the area west of the Maelstrom is already considered the territory of the Dark Assassin!
Such a speed of expansion surprised even Marvin.
The map of the Underdark appeared in his mind, and the location of the great whirlpool was just below the Sage Desert.
In other words, most of the underground world in the south has been swallowed up by the dark ghosts!
According to Riven's intelligence, the dark world today is different from the past.
Even races with long-standing feuds have united together.
Relying on the great whirlpool, they built fortresses and an indestructible blockade line there!
All dark races unite to fight against the invasion of dark ghosts!
This war has been going on for more than a month. The underground race has suffered heavy losses, but they have also gained something.
It is said that a few days ago, when the Dark Phantom was attacking, he accidentally exposed the location of the Ghost Mother. As a result, the four top legends of the dark race took action and killed the Ghost Mother at all costs.
In this way, the pressure on the fortress and the front of the defense line was greatly reduced.
The temporarily established Dark Union Council is intensively studying how to fight against the Phantom, but their research speed is very slow.
There are signs that the Dark United Council is preparing to organize a legendary team to directly attack the Everfreeze Spring, intending to kill the Final Ghost Mother and put an end to it once and for all.
…
"In fact, if that ghost mother hadn't accidentally exposed her location a few days ago and happened to be killed , I wouldn't have been able to pass through the secret passage and rush here."
Raven looked nervous.
After all, the Dark Phantom's methods are too terrifying.
Even for the underground races who were accustomed to blood and cruelty, they found it unbearable.
Imagine that your consciousness is destroyed, leaving only a zombie-like corpse, being controlled by the ghost mother and becoming a member of the ghost army.
This feeling is really chilling.
Moreover, when fighting with monsters possessed by the Phantom, it is possible that the Phantom larvae will drill into your body and successfully parasitize you.
No one likes to fight this kind of enemy.
The reason why the defense line of the entire dark world has not collapsed now is because there is still the natural barrier of the Great Whirlpool.
Once this barrier is broken, the dark world will probably be doomed!
…
After listening to Raven's description, Marvin and Jessica both fell into deep thought.
The return of the Dark Phantom is not only a disaster for Stone Mountain, but also a catastrophe for the entire dark world!
The catastrophe did not have such a big impact on them, as wizards of the underground races rarely used the cosmic magic pool to cast spells; but the eruption of the Everfrost Spring and the emergence of the underground winter almost pushed them into a desperate situation!
According to Riven, the pressure in those fortresses is very high now, with food in short supply, extremely cold weather, and low morale among the soldiers - after all, many of their comrades have suddenly turned into phantoms and are against them; and it is really a joke that those races that have been fighting for generations have to fight side by side.
The town occupied by Riven is basically composed of a branch of dark elves and a group of half-elves.
Because of the Book of Naaru, Riven's spiritual attributes are very high. Coupled with her own talent, these people are still very respectful to her.
However, if you are away for a long time, that would be another matter. The position of leader of the underground race has never been fixed.
Jessica and Marvin looked at each other and finally said:
"It's up to you to decide. I believe you will have a proper plan. "
Although the Apocalypse Warlock is overbearing, he is not completely unreasonable.
She knew that Marvin was always resourceful, and he knew more about the underground world and the dark ghosts.
Marvin should have a better strategy to solve the problem of Rocky Mountain from the root.
Since Jessica had agreed, Marvin nodded.
"Well, let's go to the Great Whirlpool first."
…
Standing on the narrow cableway and looking down, the bottomless abyss is like a huge mouth that may swallow people at any time.
Guided by Raven, Marvin and Jessica took a shortcut.
They spent nearly four hours traveling through the winding and dangerous caves, finally bypassing all the dangerous places and successfully arriving at the [Big Whirlpool]!
The so-called big whirlpool is actually an extremely terrifying terrain in the underdark.
When the underground space of the continent reached this place, a lake-like fault suddenly appeared , with endless void in the center.
For at least ten hours every day, there is a terrible storm in the void!
Under the influence of the vortex storm, no one can go back and forth!
The Rosen Fortress Group, which is regarded as the last line of defense by the dark race, is built opposite the great vortex!
They relied on the natural dangers here and used their wisdom to deal with the dark phantoms.
Speaking of which, Marvin and the others were quite lucky. Not only did they avoid the large army of dark ghosts along the way, but when they arrived at the whirlpool, the storm had just stopped.
They can use the cableway and slowly climb over.
This is something that the Dark Phantom cannot do.
The people of Rosen Fortress rely on this to determine whether or not an approaching creature is possessed by a ghost.
"I have signaled to the people in the fortress that we can pass through."
Riven said softly, "But you two, it's better to disguise yourself. Although the dark ghosts are the biggest enemy at this moment, the surface humans are also not welcome in the Rosen Fortress Group."
