...
After finishing the communication with Hill, Qin Lun thought for a while, then covered his right eye with his palm. The exposed left eye lit up slightly, and a pattern of Yin and Yang fish intertwined with azure blue ice flame and dark green vines appeared.
This eye is a fusion and mutation of the biological equipment "Ganitus left eye" and the hunter's full-time skill "detection halo", forming an pupil skill called "gaze halo".
After opening the gaze halo, Qin Lun's left eye completely turned into a three-dimensional projection composed of black and white lines, and the perception beam rushed towards all directions like waves. The thick stone wall of the sewer seemed nothing in his eyes, leaving only some sketch lines.
The snakes, insects, rats and ants in the deep sewer stopped vigilantly, as if listening to some movement. The next moment, these little creatures fled to the distance as if they were whipped by whips.
Qin Lun smiled slightly. When he entered the world, he did not choose to hide his divine realm. In addition, he had just released a little demonic aura, so it would be strange if these small animals with sensitive feelings did not escape.
"There is so big below, there are so many forks!" After observing the escape direction of the snakes, insects, rats and ants, Qin Lun finally frowned again.
He drove these little animals just now, of course, not because he was full. These little animals are permanent residents here. When they encounter danger, they will instinctively escape to their nests or live in a way, which will avoid blind exploration.
However, these small creatures did not give a specific direction until they escaped from Qin Lun's perception range. If the exploration range of the gaze halo was thin, it could reach hundreds of meters. These small creatures ran around, indicating that the corridor network here is extremely large, and it is really possible that it is the entire sewer system of the Baldur Gate.
"It's really troublesome now!" Qin Lun rubbed his temple helplessly. The sewer system usually has ground wells connecting the ground, but he didn't know the direction. If he was not lucky, it would be possible to find it for a few days. The three of them stayed in the Torrell World is very precious.
"Forget it, let's use that thing to explore the way, it's a waste!" Qin Lun sighed, raised his hand slightly, and a black light flashed in front of him. A ferocious stone statue more than one meter high and with bat wings on the back appeared out of thin air, hitting heavily on the aisle on the right side of the sewer.
"Wake up!" Qin Lun thought, and two purple lights lit up in his eyes made of obsidian crystals. He raised his head silently and stared at the young man in front of him.
This gargoyle is not produced in the Mission World, but an apostle work that practices both chemistry. This thing is not a one-time consumable, but every time you use it, you need to consume magic crystals. At the same time, the components need to be replaced frequently, which is easier to damage than the original products of the Mission World.
However, compared with the gargoyles obtained in the mission world, this kind of replica made by the apostles also has its own benefits. The gargoyles in the mission world are pure alchemy objects, which require the control center of spell activation. The apostle items do not need to be so troublesome. They are connected with the apostles by their thoughts, making the operation easier.
The gargoyle received Qin Lun's consciousness and shook the bat wings. The two strong hind limbs suddenly kicked, jumped into the air and spread their wings, gliding towards the depths of the sewer.
Gargoyles are medium-sized statue alchemy objects. They stand upright and are only slightly shorter than Qin Lun, with their wings about two meters open. Fortunately, the sewer of the Baldur Gate is very wide, and the gargoyles are also sensitive to movements. Otherwise, they would be really unable to use them here.
"Wait for the news from those two people!" After Qin Lun let the gargoyle fly, he sat cross-legged onto the sewer walkway, and his consciousness connected to the gargoyle's vision and explored the nearby fork.
There is another gargoyle in his storage space. He just uses consciousness to connect to the gargoyle, which also requires energy consumption. In addition, he still doesn't know if there will be any danger here, so he certainly can't let himself consume too much.
After a while, Qin Lun's patience gradually faded. The underground here was too big. The gargoyle had explored more than ten forks nearby, but he had never found a well connecting the ground.
However, there was an additional prompt message in the Apostle's Soul Seal, indicating that he had obtained a map of the Baldur Gate subway. Of course, this map was limited to the parts he had explored, and the rest of the direction was dark.
Looking at the discovered part in the middle of the map, compared with the undiscovered part, Qin Lun couldn't help but feel cold.
"Qin Lun, we found some information about your environment!" Fortunately, good news finally came from Hill.
It turns out that the place where he is is indeed the sewer network of Baldur Gate. There is a reason why the sewers here are so wide.
Before the rise of the Bode Gate, it was the place where the legendary pirate Bodean was settled. At that time, many pirates and bankrupt farmers gathered. Because of the stolen goods and consumption brought by the pirates, a large number of merchants attracted, resulting in a deformed prosperity, and finally became a port city led by the parliament.
However, the pirates at that time had suffered heavy losses from the orc attacks because of the selfishness of the merchant council. Because of the exterior walls of the merchant council, the pirates suffered heavy losses in the orc attacks. All this was changed after Bodean's return. The legendary pirates almost killed all the entire city council and built a bridge gate in the dock area and the inner city. This is the origin of Bodean's Gate.
Except for the Baldur Gate, other pirates were unable to provide them with shelter because Bodean often went to sea and could not always provide them with shelter, so the pirates jointly invested in the construction of a huge sewer system underground in the city.
This sewer system not only has the function of discharge. During the war, it was located in part of the corridor network in the dock area and was also a hidden sea outlet. When foreign enemies invade, the pirates would store water in these corridors for temporary hiding pirate ships.
The corridor where Qin Lun was at this time was actually not the widest, and the sewer outlet of the hidden pirate ship was almost several times larger than here.
"It's indeed good news, but have you found out why it came out? You can't let me swim into the sea along the estuary!" Qin Lun had a vague premonition.
"This... According to the news we have heard, the era of Bodean was too far away. During the development of Bodean, not only were pirates, but even the three religions and the various religions in the city used underground networks as shelters, and this sewer network was later expanded several times."
Hill said with a wry smile, "Rand also heard that even slave merchants and smuggling gangs sometimes use it as a nest, and in order to prevent the search of the city guards, many fake wellheads and secret doors were set up. To this day, no one can understand the entire sewer network. You are simply an underground world that is completely different from the urban surface."
"Qin Lun, instead of finding the wellhead connecting the ground, it is better to swim directly into the sea from the estuary, which seems to be more reliable!" Hill added quietly in the team channel.
"No!" Qin Lun covered his face depressedly.
"Haha, OK, Hill, stop teasing him anymore." Rand couldn't help laughing, "Qin Lun, we have already figured out a solution for you just now and come out from there."
"What method?" Qin Lun smiled. He couldn't tell the direction underground. However, the two people on the ground would not be able to tell the direction. There should be a way to help him, otherwise he was not the only one wasting time.
"As a team, we shouldn't be too far from each other. However, I can't sense your presence for the time being. Next, Rand and I will try every direction until I contact you telepathically." Hill replied with a smile.
Before entering this world, Hill had already used the Spirit-sucking Monster Brain and was promoted to the second-level Chaos Priest. Originally, Qin Lun planned to let you get promoted after entering Torrell, so that you can have the chance to reduce the difficulty of the task.
However, Hill said that since the mission world has been confirmed and they are aiming for the epic plot, it seems that it is no different to advance one step earlier and one step later. Moreover, anything can happen in the mission world, and it is not safer to advance directly in the starry sky.
After Hill absorbed the mind of the spirit-sucking monster, except for the divine realm that failed to obtain the lowest chance, he obtained all other talent abilities, including the mind shock and explosion skill with only 30% chance.
After obtaining the soul thunder, Hill also received information that no one knew in advance.
It turns out that the 30% chance of a mind shock explosion is floating. If the apostle has high enough perception and spiritual attributes before absorbing the brain of the spirit-absorbing monster, and has some spiritual skills and expertise, the chance of obtaining a mind shock explosion will be increased by 30%.
Since Hill changed to the priesthood, he had several spiritual skills and specialties, and the chance of obtaining a 45% sensation in his mind was very lucky to have obtained this skill.
Qin Lun had actually considered the solution that Hill had come up with now, but he planned to force the gaze halo to find the two people on the ground. Of course, compared with the telepathy of passive skills, if he continued to use the gaze halo, the consumption would be extraordinary.
"If you want to use this method, there is another last problem." Qin Lun said thinking, "Even if you find my location with telepathy, we will be on the ground and on the ground, and we will not be able to meet for the time being."
"Not bad, so we need some people's help!" Hill smiled strangely.
