Chapter 189 Rules of the Underworld(1/2)

These dozens of people didn't say anything. Maybe it was because of Cook, an outsider. Cook was walking in the middle, and there were people in front and behind. It seemed that it was obvious surveillance. Cook didn't care. It was going down, down, and constantly down, and every time it was a maze encrypted tunnel. The areas where these tunnels appeared were different. Sometimes it was on the wall, sometimes on the ground, and sometimes on the cliff. Anyway, it was just two words, which was very confidential.

"This is a temporary camp. You can hunt yourself. There is enough daily necessities in this camp, and someone will come to contact you." A wide cave has a gate at the entrance of the cave, and it is forged by metal. However, it looks like a fence. It seems to be built elsewhere and installed here. It is very thick. There is a pool in the cave. There is water in the pool, and it is also warm water. It is obviously a hot spring and a pile of fuel. The fuel is like coal, but the combustion power is even more abnormal. The underground world is not short of plants that have been deposited for countless years, and there are some pots and pans, and there are more than a dozen small caves in the cave. Dozens of people who followed Cook to rest for several hours and are about to leave. Cook is left here.

"Remember, don't follow us, otherwise you will definitely be killed after being discovered." The leader of the group said to Cook last.

"I understand that this place is much safer than the other side of the Strait." Cook nodded, without doing anything.

The others left, and Cook sat down and thought. Cook noticed that there was a slight energy fluctuation in the temporary camp. Obviously, it was not as simple as it was said. Why did Cook discover it? This is about the thick metal gate. The temporary camp uses such a good metal gate. Ordinary sages can't break it for a while. Cook probably won't open the gate once he finds that there is a problem with the people here.

"Hey, let's sleep first. I haven't felt comfortable in the long run." Cook opened the door, brought in a big stone, then stuck the big iron door with the big stone, then clapped his hands and said to himself, and then Cook was lying next to the fire and started to sleep.

Cook guessed right. In a cave not far from Cook, the two of them looked at Cook sleeping with a very relaxed expression: "This person seems to be true, but he is very vigilant and knows to get stuck in the door."

"It's probably true, but we still have to continue to observe and see how good the combat effectiveness is?" Another person nodded and said.

Cook really slept for a while, and Cook did not rashly use his mental power to check it out, because Cook didn't know what method to use to detect the cave. Once the mental power was detected, Cook would be exposed directly.

After sleeping for a while, Cook carried the stone that opened the main door of the card, then found a torch, walked out of the cave, and after walking out of the cave, Cook's face looked a little strange: "Someone peeked at him?"

Cook wandered around the temporary camp and finally came to a dark river that was more than ten minutes away. There were many footprints of creatures around the dark river. It seemed that creatures came here to drink water. Cook made several traps with the rope she carried with him, and then waited quietly. In fact, Cook was checking who was peeping at him at this time.

"Then, on the high ground." Cook soon confirmed that the reason why Cook could feel someone peeking at him was because the person who peeked at him focused his attention on him and could sense extremely slight mental fluctuations. This was also because Cook was very strong in his mental perception and control.

"It seems that the situation here is a bit complicated." Cook sighed in his heart.

"Dingling." With a dinglingling sound, Cook hurriedly ran over. A big mouse-like creature was trapped by a rope. It was an ordinary creature. Cook walked up and pinched the guy to death, and then cleaned the creature by the underworld.

Then Cook returned to the temporary camp. In the next few days, Cook did this, went out to hunt, went back to rest, and occasionally complained that there was no one coming, and he didn't look anxious.

Seven days later, Cook just returned to the temporary camp and saw two people appearing inside. Cook immediately asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"We are the ones who came to take you in." One of them answered.

When Cook heard this, he was very excited: "I can finally go in. I am the only one in this place, and I will be suffocated to death."

"Let's go." The two said to Cook, who quickly stringed the grilled jerky meat he had not finished with a rope and hung it on his body.

Cook walked in the middle, and one of the two said, "First of all, you go in the outer residence points. Among these residence points, you can accept tasks and get a residence for free. However, it only takes one year. After a year, the residence needs to pay supplies or fees. Here, we also use points, but not points from the Sage Association, but points issued by ourselves. You can go hunting, help others do things, dig ore, etc. Some are work. You do not have the right to go to the city for the time being, and you need to pay points when entering the city. If you live in the city, you also need to pay points. Here, it is the same as the Sage World, and points are everything."

"So how much material is a point?" Cook asked.

"The amount of jerky you carry is about 150. Of course, the price of rare creatures is definitely higher, and it is determined by the body size." The man in front explained.

"What about the weapons?" Cook asked again.

"You can exchange for old weapons, of course you can also exchange what you bring. There are places to exchange points in each peripheral residence point, and there are forced guard tasks in each residence point. After all, this is an underground world, and there are often unexpected dangers." The person in front continued.

"There are no fighting or fighting in the residence site. Once discovered, you will be punished extremely severely. However, there will be no restrictions when leaving the residence site. Even if there are restrictions, there will be no way to implement it. In addition, I suggest that you should first find a job in the residence site, exchange for points and exchange for night vision glasses, otherwise, it will be very dangerous in this dark underground world." The person in front spoke.

Along the way, Cook learned a lot of things. In short, this is an organization with a relatively tight organizational structure. After passing through two underground rivers in Lele and more than a dozen forks, Cook passed through three secret passages, two of which were directly excavated on the entire rock. Cook could also feel the breath of guarding.

"This is the place to live." A large camp, close to the magma river, is not only warm, but also extremely dry. Even the water is boiling water. Then, on a mountain wall, a tunnel-like thing was dug. In the tunnel near the stone wall, there are rows of caves, which is where to live.

"What's your name? Of course it's here." Cook was taken into a cave, and the two left. In front of Cook, a halflinger asked Cook.

"Locke." Cook decided to call him Locke, because there are many people in the astral world called Locke.

"Okay, Rock William, this is your name. Damn, there are thirty people named Rock here. From now on, I will call you William. I am the village chief here, next to it is the place where points are redeemed. The place where you live is under the stone wall." The village chief gave Cook a silver-white sign and asked Cook to hold it away. Once the patrol guards want to see the sign, they will take it out.

"Then here?" Cook didn't want to live below. It was not about other things, but that there was no one living below. How could Cook ask for information?

"There are points in each quarter above, do you have points?" the village chief asked, looking at Cook.

"Wait." Cook hurried out.

Then Cook walked into the room next to him. After Cook came in, he found that things were not as simple as he imagined. There was actually a real person here. Although he was just a first-level slag, his energy fluctuations could not deceive Cook.

"Your Excellency, I want to redeem points." Cook took out the silver sign.

"Well, what's there?" The real person didn't raise his eyes.

"I have this." Cook took out the two worst crystal nuclei. This was what Cook collected when he killed creatures in the strait, otherwise Cook would not look down on this scum.

"It's not bad, fifty points." The real person saw the two crystal cores and finally looked at Cook, and said, throwing Cook one by one with something like gold coins. Cook looked carefully and saw that it was a simple wizard model, the material was ordinary metal, and each brand had the word ten. Of course, even a simple wizard model could not be forged by a sage, and of course Cook was an exception.

"Thank you." Cook looked at the points in his hand and became more interested in this organization. What are the consequences of the substantial points? That is, be careful when going out in the future.

"Ten points, tsk, okay, this is the free place above." The village chief looked at the points sign, put it away, took out the animal skin for Cook, and pointed out the free area above. After Cook chose, the village chief registered.

"That's it?" Cook thought there were any procedures or something, but after knowing that the village chief registered, he rushed Cook away.

"What else do you want?" the village chief asked angrily.

Cook walked along the tunnel for a few minutes. The tunnel was really long. Cook came to the cave where he lived and took a look. There were two large and two small caves inside, and there was nothing. Cook cursed inwardly: "The profitable businessman!"

All transactions here require points, unless they are exchanged for goods. Of course, there is no tax or anything like this. Even if there are, they are counted when they are exchanged.

"Haha, hello." Just as Cook was cursing, the cave next to Cook... No, a man came out of the room and looked at Cook with a smile and asked.

"Hello." Cook felt like he suddenly realized that he had been in the next life, just like when he was studying, he went to the school dormitory for the first time, and the roommate next to him greeted him kindly.

"Do you need any help?" the man asked after laughing.

"I need something, at least one animal skin, and some fuel," Cook said with a shrugging.

"Just make the fuel yourself. Not far away, just get a bag and carry a bag back. However, the mines there need to pay a certain amount of food. If it is farther away, there is no need for food, but it is a bit dangerous and the distance is too far." The man said.

"Remember it yourself." Cook asked repeatedly.

"Yes, otherwise you want to buy it? There is nothing to sell, that thing is worthless." The man shook his head and looked at Cook and said.

The man said again: "As for animal skins, I have some here, but the quality is not very good, and I can give it to you for free."

This man's words made Cook feel that this person is very real. In fact, Cook didn't know that this underground world does not allow fighting, and there are powerful executive agencies in the underground world, so the relationship between them is very harmonious. In other words, even if you have points, it is useless. Of course, unless you have more points, you can enter the city, that's another saying.

"Okay, thank you. I have some jerky here, which I secretly made with spices." Cook took out a few pieces of jerky hanging on his body and handed them to the man.

"Spice, this is a good thing, it is the most expensive thing here." The man took the jerky from Cook's hand, smelled it, and spoke.

"Haha." Cook laughed, and soon the man brought Cook a skin. He was indeed not good at the appearance. He probably was too aggressive when hunting and had many wounds. However, it would not affect Cook's laying on the stone bed, and some fuel was also brought to Cook.

Cook cleaned up the place, which was actually just to clean up the dust. After cleaning, Cook walked to one side of the tunnel, which was said to be a place to collect water, and of course there was also a convenient place.

"Come on." Cook walked into the water-collecting place and saw that it was a spring on a cliff. The spring water was in a pool, and the excess pool water flowed out, flowing into two caves next to it. Cook looked at it and found that this was the toilet, and it could still be flushed at any time. Of course, it was just washed with water because it was close to the magma river. The water here was a little hot when it flowed out, but when it flowed into the toilet, the temperature was not very high.

"I'll go, there are doors made of wood and animal skins." Cook looked at the door of the toilet. It was so simple, but such a toilet with flowing water was much better in terms of hygiene.

Cook returned to his cave, which had been covered with animal skins. Cook watched the man next to him doing this for him, and Cook quickly said, "Thank you."

"No, we have a rule here. If you have this animal skin, it means that someone can't go in easily. You can break into other people's caves without authorization. Others can deal with you at will. My name is Kately." The man waved his hand and said.

"My name is Rock William, you can call me William." Cook also introduced himself, but as soon as Cook said that his name was Rock, he thought of what the village chief said and immediately added.

"William, have dinner at me tonight?" William invited Cook.

"Okay." The invitation method for the people here is to ask. If you want to agree, just agree directly. Don't say anything tactfully. Sorry, or something, people will mistakenly think you refuse.

"Let's go." Kately invited to Cook.

To Cook's surprise, there was a woman in Kately's house, and a little girl. The little girl was huddling on the animal skin next to the fire, obviously sleeping. The woman was grilling some creature's thighs on the fire, but obviously there was no fragrance of seasoning.

"I have some spices here, which I brought in from outside." Cook handed Kately a bag of spices. This is a kind of etiquette and generally does not require very expensive things. However, Cook has a lot of things in his hand. As for spices, as long as Cook is willing, it is possible to use wood energy to ripen a large piece in minutes.

"This..." Kately looked at this pack of spices. Spices are very expensive in the underground world because the underground world does not produce these.

"Nothing." Cook waved his hand quickly, and Cook asked Miden to come out.

"Are you?" Kately looked at Mayden and looked at Cook again.

"Haha, I'm just this hobby." Cook smiled. Cook was trying to test Kately with Mayton to see if there was any area where angels gathered below.

Kately said with a smile: "Haha, hobby, this little thing can be seen occasionally in our underground world."

Sure enough, Kately immediately said what Cook wanted. Occasionally, Cook asked with great interest: "Where is this?"

"That was somewhere in the upper area, but the upper area was very dangerous. There were not only a large number of high-level creatures, but also a large number of unknown relics, as well as guys from the Sage Society that could appear at any time." Kately said.

"It is said that there is a stronghold established by the Sage Society, but I have never been to that place." Kately shook his head and said.

Cook was puzzled and asked, "There are no advanced creatures here?"

"I don't know, anyway, I just need to raise my daughter and look at my wife. I don't have to live a life with fear. In fact, I have only been there for a month." Kately said with a smile.

Cook understood that Kately obviously came from the ground, but there is a rule here that is not to ask others what the situation is when they are on the ground. However, Cook is doing well at Kately's appearance.

After Cook finished eating at Kately, he said goodbye and returned to his residence. Cook thought a lot in his mind, especially a little nervous. Cook was nervous that he could finally find his way home, but Cook also felt that there were some abnormalities here, that is, how could there be no high-level creatures in the surrounding area? There is only one reason, there is a great danger here. As for the danger from the place of life, there is only a difference between artificial and natural. The artificial is nothing more than that there are high-level real people here, or high-energy weapons, so it is hard to say that the natural ones are there.

Cook thought for a long time but didn't come up with anything. Cook just took a break. There is an advantage here, that is, your work and rest time can be determined according to your own situation. It will not be bad for sleeping in broad daylight when you are on the ground, and it does not exist here.

Sleeping can only be said to be Cook's way of relaxing. After Cook slept for a few hours, he did not see anyone else when he went out, as if there was no one here at all. However, Cook's magic eyes could see the energy fluctuations emitted by burning fire in these caves.

There are only rooms that are redeemed and the village chief's room are always open, and there are always people: "Guardian, what are the tasks?"

"Yes, clean up the creatures in this surrounding area, especially the stinky rats." The village chief replied.

When Cook heard this, he was embarrassed. This task was like cleaning up mice at home. There were also underground creatures here. They were not very big, but they were very annoying, especially once they were attacked, they would smell bad.

"I heard that I can dig ore, so I'll go to the mine." Cook waved his hand quickly. Cook didn't want to become a cleaner.

"There are many mines in the mine. Which one do you want to go to?" the village chief asked.

"The closest one." Cook made a choice without hesitation.

"This is the mine roadmap. The mine can receive tools for free, but the mined ore requires one-third of the amount." The village chief handed Cook a skin, which was a map of the area on the skin, which was very simple.
To be continued...
