Chapter 1407: Chapter 796: Who Is the Praying Mantis?

Underground City Passage,

Pascal looked at the Dark Elf Girl in front of him, his expression becoming serious.

Following behind them was a Dark Elf, could it be that the abnormalities in this Underground City are related to the Dark Elves?

To be honest, Pascal wanted Van Buren to use the Space Transmission Scroll to leave right now, but he quickly suppressed this thought.

If there’s only one opponent, they still have a significant advantage.

From the Dark Elf’s attack just now, the opponent’s strength was undoubtedly quite strong.

But not completely unmanageable.

Pascal’s exploration team had faced more dangerous situations before.

Pascal was very eager to understand why this Dark Elf was following them.

Is the anomaly in this Underground City related to them?

“Dark Elf, why did you attack us?”

“What exactly are you trying to do?”

The previous inquiries towards the Dark Elf got no response, so Pascal couldn’t help asking again.

Could it be that the other party doesn’t understand the common language?

That shouldn’t be the case, right?

In fact, from encounters in other Underground City areas, it’s occasionally possible to communicate normally with Dark Elves.

Though Dark Elves bear some resemblance in appearance to the Forest Elves on the surface, it’s said that Dark Elves are also an important branch of the Elf Clan.

It’s just that due to a divine-level schism, the Spider Queen Rose led some elves into the Endless Abyss.

This group of elves became the predecessors of the Dark Elves.

Spider Queen Rose is the deity of all Dark Elves, seemingly aiming to lead the Dark Elves in retaliation against the Elf Clan.

Thus, the Underground City areas became a springboard and base for the Dark Elves to counterattack the Elf Clan.

Possibly because of this, Dark Elves are quite hostile towards surface creatures, communicating very rarely.

Pascal and his team had very little intelligence about the Dark Elves.

So, for the moment, they didn’t know how to communicate with the Dark Elf appearing in front of them.

At this time, the Dark Elf Girl in front of him was casually toying with the dagger that shimmered with a cold light, tilting her head while looking at Pascal and the others, said:

“Are you… adventurers from the surface?”

“How did you come to the Salvador Forbidden Land?”

The Dark Elf Girl’s voice was pleasant and melodious, seemingly carrying a hint of peculiar allure.

“Is this place the Salvador Forbidden Land?”

“What kind of place is this?”

Pascal asked, his voice deepening upon hearing her words.

She had never heard that such an area existed in the Underground City?

Could it be that those crazed Magic Beasts that previously rushed out of the Underground City and attacked the association members were because of this Salvador Forbidden Land?

“Maybe you should answer my questions first?”

The Dark Elf Girl in front of them straightened her body, saying with a smile.

Clearly, she was facing five Golden Rank Professionals at the moment, and the Underground City Passage behind her was completely blocked by collapsed rocks.

Yet she showed no sign of fear, rather she was inspecting Pascal and the others with great interest.

Jia’er raised the Shield in his hand, looking at the Dark Elf Girl in front of him, he shouted sternly:

“Are you not aware of your current situation?”

“Answer whatever you’re asked, got it!”

As he spoke, the Shield in Jia’er’s hand slammed heavily onto the ground. The tremor was so fierce that the entire Underground City Passage quivered slightly, the gusts of wind mixed with dust blew towards the Dark Elf’s direction.

“How powerful~ I’m so scared~”

The Dark Elf Girl covered her mouth with her left hand and laughed lightly as she spoke, at the same time swinging her right hand forward.

The dagger in her right hand sliced through the air, directly cutting through the impending wind.

In a composed manner, the Dark Elf Girl showed no sign of any fear at all.

“For the purpose of exchanging information, why don’t we have a good talk and each ask questions?”

“…Alright.”

Facing the proposal from the Dark Elf Girl, Pascal chose to agree after a moment of Silence.

She felt that this unexpected Dark Elf Girl was highly unreliable, but they currently knew way too little information.

This Underground City in front of them was like a complete dark fog to them.

Pascal did not want to miss the opportunity to obtain information.

“Then you answer my question first.”

“What is the Salvador Forbidden Land?”

Pascal looked at the Dark Elf Girl in front of her, asking in a deep voice.

“Alright.”

The Dark Elf Girl nodded, spinning the dagger in her hand, she said:

“The Salvador Forbidden Land is what we Dark Elves call an extremely dangerous place in the Underground City area.”

“It is located deep within the Underground City, where extremely frenzied and dangerous Magic Beasts wander.”

“No one knows why so many frenzied and powerful Magic Beasts appeared in the Salvador Forbidden Land, so we keep a respectful distance from this place.”

After speaking, the Dark Elf Girl looked at Pascal and said with a smile:

“It’s my turn to ask now.”

“The Salvador Forbidden Land is clearly deep within the Underground City, how did you get here?”

“You seem not to be adventurers who frequent the Underground City, and this place is quite far from the nearest Underground City entrance…”

“Is there a new Underground City entrance that appeared?”

“Connecting directly to the Salvador Forbidden Land?”

Facing the Dark Elf Girl’s query, Pascal could only nod and respond;

“That’s indeed the case. Recently, a new entrance to this Underground City area suddenly appeared, and we came here to investigate it.”
