Chapter 396: The Gestating Underworld
Because there were so many newly developed positions, Owen didn’t want to leave along the way. However, Siluo’s purpose was not only to charm this ogre with unusual aesthetics but to seize the underground city with his help.
As long as she occupied an underground city, she would be able to give birth to more offspring, plunder more slaves, and create a family of her own, just like other Drow Matriarchs.
To achieve this, she had to have the help of this ogre, so Siluo used all her tricks to make him unable to extricate himself.
But it wasn’t enough to just make him indulge in this; she had to get this ogre to move, to help her occupy that underground city. Only by occupying that underground city could she transform from an ordinary Drow into a Drow Matriarch, develop her own family, and this was the biggest dream of every female Drow in her life.
Owen certainly couldn’t guess Siluo’s idea of wanting to reproduce a family by herself, because no normal person would think like that. It was possible for men, but for women to give birth by themselves, it was simply anti-human.
Although he didn’t know Siluo’s thoughts, Owen knew that she must have some ulterior motives. Even if he was an ogre now, he could guess it, but he was too lazy to think about it. Given that he could exchange for more positions, plus a little curiosity, he carried a large club on one shoulder and Siluo on the other, heading towards the hidden underground city.
Since entering the Underworld through a crack under Siluo’s guidance, Owen realized that the Main World had actually given birth to a brand new Underworld, which was truly incredible.
After contacting his Original Body and getting rid of the influence of the ogre’s physical body, Owen guessed that it was because the impact of the Secret Realm backflow when the Heaven’s Scar was shattered was too great, like a torrent carrying many bubbles and impurities, impacting the Main World.
Because the Secret Realm was between reality and illusion, it didn’t cause any damage to the earth. One part, which was lighter, floated on the surface and became numerous Secret Realms. The other part, because it contained more impurities, sank into the ground, and because it was mixed with impurities, it solidified faster, forming countless independent underground ecological spaces.
These ecological spaces were mostly connected to each other, so they gradually evolved into a vast Underworld. This was the reason for the formation of the Underworld.
After years of precipitation, the Secret Realms, large and small, turned into countless underground spaces, giving birth to a magical Underworld, attracting countless people to fight for it, trying to build their own kingdoms based on this, which were the underground cities.
Some of the pioneers who first discovered the Underworld gradually gained control of some less dangerous underground spaces and formed their own forces, including the Drow.
The Drow’s habit of relying on external forces gradually made the Underworld more complex. Owen was not the first tool to be brought in, nor would he be the last, which also meant that the Underworld would face a more chaotic and dangerous future.
Because the more valuable the space, the deeper it was underground, the space closer to the surface was not only small in area but also low in value. However, this also meant that the strength of the occupiers would not be too strong, because the powerful ones would definitely go to fight for better underground spaces.
For example, the underground city that Siluo had her eyes on, although it had a Black Dragon, it was an old dragon that had already entered its twilight years and had been robbed of its original territory, causing it to be seriously injured and forced to come to the surface to retire.
Although it was a seriously injured old dragon, the power of a dragon was still not to be underestimated. Siluo was discovered while sneaking around and barely escaped with her life.
However, this also allowed Siluo to understand the state of the old Black Dragon, so she planned to trick this damned ogre into fighting for the underground city.
Owen’s sense of direction was already bad. Now, not only had he become an ogre, but he had also entered the twisting and turning Underworld, and his vision was completely dark. He had long lost his way and could only blindly follow Siluo’s commands, which was in line with the performance of an ogre.
Even the smartest two-headed ogre mage was only slightly more intelligent, still far from being truly smart, let alone an ordinary ogre. Therefore, Owen’s current performance was in line with the image of an ogre in Siluo’s mind, which made her somewhat relieved. After all, her only bargaining chip now was this ogre, which she had painstakingly exchanged for with her own capital. If she messed up, she wouldn’t even be able to cry.
After deliberately taking a detour, Siluo brought Owen to the entrance of an underground space.
On the way, Owen had already heard about his opponent this time, an old Black Dragon.
Dragons were natural legendary creatures, their strength would continue to increase as they grew, they belonged to those who lived by talent. Theoretically, as long as they didn’t die from accidents, it was only a matter of time before most dragons became legends.
However, dragons were not immortal. Before entering old age, dragons mainly fought with their powerful bodies and violent dragon breath. Only when they reached old age would they gradually rely on magic.
But as they got older, the power of dragons would inevitably enter a period of decline. Otherwise, a Black Dragon in the Underworld might not be invincible, but it would never be easily deprived of its territory. This gave Owen enough confidence.
“I wonder if Black Dragons are tasty,” Owen muttered, not forgetting his plan to create an ogre cookbook. Siluo, who was on his shoulder, was speechless and wished she could chop this stupid ogre into pieces.
Reaching out, he picked Siluo up and placed her on the ground. Owen walked into the underground space in front of him alone, carrying his club.
The fluorescent mushrooms and the ubiquitous luminous fungal carpets made the underground space look less dark than imagined. Ogres themselves had a certain degree of low-light vision. Although not much, after being strengthened by his Original Body, as long as it wasn’t a completely lightless environment, there was no problem.
At this moment, Owen stood at the entrance of the underground space. In front of him was a downward slope. Further away was a plain full of mushrooms and streams, and a small lake. Directly opposite the entrance was a waterfall with a large flow of water, and under the waterfall was a newly excavated dragon lair.
After confirming his target, Owen strode towards that direction.
The ogre’s footsteps were very heavy, and as soon as he approached, he alarmed a large group of goblins who were busy picking mushrooms on the plain.
These goblins were similar to the ones who had offered him food before. Serving the strong was their way of survival. And what better object of service was there than a Black Dragon? Therefore, even though they were afraid of Owen, the ogre, the goblins still screamed, their voices distorted, and charged at him, wielding their messy weapons.
Owen just glanced down, not even bothering to lift a finger.
His Original Body had not only strengthened the current ogre body but also updated his martial arts. If he was injured by a group of goblins, what was he busy for?
