Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 196 Tacit Understanding
In Jessica's eyes, Marvin is undoubtedly a very mysterious guy.
When the Black Dragon Clark invaded, his fighting power was not that strong, and he was just a guy who was not even a legend.
But he was able to kill Clark with just a dragon slaying spear, which was enough to make the always proud Jessica look at him with new eyes; and her sister Rory's strange behavior also made Jessica more curious about Marvin. She knew Rory very well. The wisdom and talent made this girl have intelligence and insight that ordinary girls don't have. The man who could be favored by Rory must have some unusual features.
Later facts proved this to be the case. Marvin's growth rate was almost like a cheat. In a short period of time, he was promoted to a legend, built a shelter, and killed a god...
From a certain perspective, Jessica felt that Marvin was more like the Son of the Plane than herself!
There must be a huge secret behind his rise.
Rory must have understood this, but she didn't say it; Jessica didn't understand this, but she chose to believe her sister.
Choosing to believe her is equivalent to choosing to believe Marvin.
This kind of trust is very valuable, so Jessica only mentioned the intelligence issue casually and had no intention of really delving into it.
Marvin was conflicted for a moment. He also saw Jessica's trust in him, but he couldn't just tell everyone that he was a time traveler, right?
He thought about it and could only use the Pearl Tower as an example.
After all, the three sisters of destiny all knew that they had a good relationship with the one in the Pearl Tower. Although they hadn’t visited Mark Forty-Seven for a long time, they all knew that he had entered the Pearl Tower out of thin air before.
The Pearl Tower records all of Fenan's secrets. If Marvin's news and intelligence came from the Pearl Tower, then everything makes sense.
Jessica readily accepted this explanation, while Marvin waved his hand guiltily, indicating that he would lead the way.
The two of them moved forward, one in front and one behind, speeding up their progress.
Soon, they felt that the tunnel was becoming narrower and the temperature around them was becoming abnormal.
The fluctuating air and the decreasing number of living creatures all proved that they were getting closer and closer to the center of the earth.
Marvin explored the way meticulously, going down continuously.
In fact, you can find the Abyssal River from any corner of the Underdark - provided that you keep going down. In most areas where underground races live, there are warning signs beside the roads deep underground.
All Marvin had to do was find these warning signs and do the opposite.
…
“That should have been the last warning sign.”
Marvin pointed to the big "Danger Area" written in the gray dwarf language not far away and said so.
Jessica fought side by side with him. The girl, who was half a head shorter than Marvin, was more domineering than Marvin.
Her eyes searched the entire space.
At this moment, they were in front of a suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge is very old, and the wooden planks have basically rotted away. They will probably break if you step on them.
The warning sign from the gray dwarves was carved on a stone in front of the suspension bridge.
At the other end of the suspension bridge is a low cave.
Unlike other caves in the Underdark, that one was clearly formed naturally rather than dug by humans.
The two of them stared into the depths of the cave, where the darkness seemed even more gloomy and cold than other places.
Ironically, however, the temperature around was surprisingly high.
Because a layer of magma is slowly flowing under the suspension bridge.
An exceptionally gorgeous blue flower blooms between the cracks of the lava, looking so proud and heart-pounding.
"Devil's Whisper, a rare and precious flower. Only in the Underdark in the entire Fenan Continent can it be found in small quantities."
Marvin showed a look of surprise.
However, he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked around while talking: "Usually, there will be several magma monsters accompanying this kind of flower..."
Jessica understood what Marvin meant.
She said decisively: "You go pick flowers, if there are any monsters, I will take care of them."
Her words were full of confidence.
Marvin is not fussy. The Devil's Whisper is indeed very useful because it is the nemesis of all creatures that possess the essence of God!
He didn't expect that he would be so lucky to encounter such a rare treasure.
With this thing, our chances of dealing with the underground monsters will be greatly improved.
He didn't hesitate at the moment and jumped off the cliff!
His movements were extremely light and he completed a graceful glide in the air, finally gently touching the gorgeous flower with his hand.
At this moment, the magma on the side suddenly exploded, and several huge shadows rushed towards Marvin!
Marvin remained impartial and his movements were not affected in the slightest.
In an instant, the alchemy box appeared in the palm of his hand.
His feet pressed against the hot rocks, and his whole body suddenly froze there in a posture parallel to the ground.
[Low altitude flight]!
The ability from the high-level blood core finally came in handy.
Marvin was like a real vampire, with his feet stuck to the stone wall. Under his control, the alchemy box suddenly transformed into a pair of exquisite scissors.
Snap!
The roots of the gorgeous flowers were cut off , and the beautiful petals began to wither.
Marvin moved quickly and sent the whole flower directly into the alchemy box!
The Alchemy Box can preserve herbs, especially many rare herbs, so that they do not lose their medicinal effects.
After completing all this, Ma Wen raised his head slowly.
He found that Jessica was still standing there, but there were several corpses of magma monsters around him since he didn't know when.
He smiled, and a wonderful feeling came over him.
After putting away the alchemy box, he activated the spell of flight, floated into the air, and returned to her side.
"Done?" Jessica asked casually.
Marvin nodded: "Let's go on. After we pass the tunnel ahead, the Abyss River will probably be not far away."
Jessica hummed and said nothing more.
The two of them continued to move deeper into the Underdark, like partners who had worked together for many years.
Along the way, they encountered several powerful monsters. However, with the cooperation of the two, almost no monster could withstand them for a round!
The Apocalypse Warlock and the Lord of Darkness are simply invincible!
Marvin has cooperated with many people in his past and present lives, but he has never felt so comfortable.
Jessica is simply his perfect partner. The tacit understanding between the two seems to be natural. She doesn't talk much, but acts decisively. No matter what monster she encounters, she will just rush forward to fight it head-on; while Marvin likes to fight around, observe, and then kill with one blow.
The two's strengths and weaknesses complement each other perfectly, and in battle, their cooperation becomes increasingly seamless.
In the endless dark journey, having such a perfect partner is the warmest encouragement for both of them.
…
In the endless underground, all the light was swallowed up.
The almost silent river flowed slowly, and a lonely figure appeared on the shore.
As he walked, he whispered:
"I never thought I would actually take this path... God's prophecy is indeed wise."
"The combination of the Apocalypse Warlock and the Lord of Darkness is indeed a bit tricky. A sleeping crypt monster probably can't stop you."
"But what if it's a crypt monster that has awakened and gone crazy?"
"Rebel, staying silent in darkness is the most lenient judgment for you..."
