Chapter 355: The Borderlands of the Dark Elves

Mosodahn, the "Place of Stopping" in the Dark Elf tongue. It is the Dark Elf city closest to the Demon Realm.

Most life regards the Underdark as a dangerous place, where countless murders, conspiracies, and monsters mingle.

Too many ancient strange species and dangerous creatures have been confused and left underground by time; in the eyes of many surface dwellers, stepping into the Underdark is equivalent to entrusting life and death to fate, and being murdered at any moment is possible.

But for the Dark Elves themselves, their own homeland is comfortable instead; all deaths have a reason.

This place is indeed filled with crises and murders, but crises have reasons, and murders must follow rules and calculations; as long as you make all preparations and calculations, the chance of sudden death is even smaller than on the surface. At least they themselves are truly accustomed to it; if they truly encounter a desperate situation of death, they will often first reflect on whether something went wrong somewhere in themselves.

"This is similar to certain countries that completely do not control guns; if you go to certain areas and curse with words starting with 'n', isn't being killed taken for granted?" Li En casually gave an example that no one understood; instead, Emma, who had always been carefree, seemed to smile apologetically twice with a pleasant air.

But the Clo Canyon, one step away from the "Place of Stopping," is different; there lies the true Demon Realm, a place of life and death that completely disregards reason.

"Can you absolutely not find a guide willing to go?"

Li En's group had already wandered around this city twice, yet still could not find a guide willing to help show the way.

"No one is willing to go; the place is too absurd on ordinary days. One moment it is a blazing sun, the next it is a downpour of snow covering everything. Fire creatures and ice creatures can appear simultaneously; it is completely incomprehensible."

For transcendent beings with a certain level of power, the most unacceptable thing is actually the reality of "random death," which is too absurd. Those who walk in the Demon Realm are probably the kind who have already handed life and death over to fate.

The true enemy is not even the greater anomalies within the Great Demon Realm, but the "environment." One moment it is a normal plain, the next it may turn into a semi-frozen, semi-viscous ice mud swamp, dragging people straight down.

Such a bizarre environment completely disregards logic and rules; normal life finds it hard to survive. When you are in a predicament, those monsters that are abnormal in every aspect will probably come out to gather and have an extra meal.

The ancient creatures within this place are also notoriously absurd; ancient species and otherworldly species from any era could be encountered.

This godforsaken place is one where only extremely fierce monsters and users of natural power can live relatively safely. High-level users of natural power can alter the natural environment and communicate with monsters and animals to prevent them from attacking.

The more cruel and rich in natural power the primitive land is, the more natural power a Druid can borrow, making them even more invincible.

It can be said that if they had not encountered the completely unreasonable Sapphire Dragon, that Druidic order would not have been trapped there.

"A headache. I thought I could recruit some local guides here."

Li En sighed, ignoring the watchful or hostile gazes all around.

The fact that they, these surface dwellers, were not directly attacked or murdered was thanks to the companions traveling with them.

"Look for a longer time, and there might be some, but you can't wait now, can you?"

Vitoria watched the surroundings warily; every so often, her hand subconsciously reached for her alchemy bag. The gazes of those "peers" around her made her feel very uncomfortable.

She herself did not expect that, after just a month or so, returning to the Dark Elf world would make her so unaccustomed. The dock district is messy and full of villains, but it is truly not the same thing as the Dark Elf society of "everyone is a villain" and "everyone is a murder in preparation."

The biggest difference between Dark Elves and ordinary high-danger zones is that in normal dangerous zones, there are many criminals so one must be careful; in traditional Dark Elf zones, if you show a flaw, every Dark Elf will commit a crime.

Not committing a crime? Then you are unqualified, a weakling who should be eliminated in advance.

"Tsk, it feels much more chaotic than Mosodilka. At least six groups are eyeing us, these outsiders who are fat sheep, and two groups have already started fighting privately."

Arachne Tarabar touched her chin and smiled pleasantly. The "evil" all around made her strangely excited.
