1642 Day Trip to Undercity (1/2)

Lu Li analysed the map of Undercity and was a bit confused. Why did everyone describe this city as being so scary? Even though he had to go underground, there was an elevator he could take. After descending, as soon as you stepped out, you would see the second area. Following that outside was the third area.

It was so orderly!

He threw the map into his backpack and activated the Deception Orb which turned him into a bony skeleton. The skeleton adjusted itself for a moment and continued to strut into Undercity.

Of course, he knew to at least walk around anyone he saw in case his disguise was exposed.

According to the directions on the map, Lu Li walked into a so-called elevator room. The room was similar to a cylindrical elevator that sometimes went up and down.

Fortunately, the one that Lu Li was waiting for didn't have anyone inside. He eagerly stepped onto the base of the elevator… but something seemed wrong.

Lu Li felt emptiness at his feet, and the elevator was growing further and further away from his sight.

What the heck was this!?

Why did the elevator fall as he was about to step on it? Did this elevator not wait for people? Plus, why was it falling so quickly? It was much faster than free falling. Was it trying to kill him?!

Ordinary people would not be able to react in time and would probably scream and fall to their deaths.

However, Lu Li was different. He knew what was happening in the first moment, and subconsciously transformed into a leopard.

Leopards were rather immune to falling; ordinary heights wouldn't kill them.

However, the Undercity elevator was no ordinary elevator.

As such, Lu Li found very quickly that his velocity was beyond imagination. Even if Druids were more immune to falling, there was no doubt that this was still a fall to death.

Gale Steps!

This invincible state saved his life, otherwise, he would definitely be yet another Alliance player who died in the elevator of Undercity.

The bottom of the elevator even had a few illusory gravestones. This meant that there were players who had been killed here not long ago. When people first died, they become corpses. However, once a player is revived and left, it would leave behind a gravestone. In a while, these gravestones would also disappear.

Knowing that he wasn't the only one who nearly fell to his death made him feel a bit better.

As he was coming out of the elevator, he saw two giant Stitches in his peripheral vision. He stopped suddenly, which was fortunate, otherwise he would have crashed straight into them. The guards in this city were of a high level, so Lu Li was bound to be hammered to death by them.

He hurriedly contacted the Steel Rice Bowl to help him.

Two players quickly appeared in front of him after clarifying his position.

They didn't ask much and went straight to talk to the NPC. Their purpose was this simple – to distract the guards. They asked the Stitch guard where to go for the hair salon and whether the apothecarist was home.

As a bald guy, why would they ask him about a hair salon?

The two guards were so entangled with these headache-inducing questions that they didn't even realise anything wrong with the player who had just exited the elevator room.

After getting out, there was a high platform which was connected in the middle to the players' personal warehouses and the guild warehouses, where many people gathered and stored things in.

Lu Li analysed the next route and chose to enter in from a gap below.

However, he quickly found himself lost.

Map! Where did the map go?!

He looked for ages and went forwards and backwards but still couldn't figure out where he was situated. With no alternative Lu Li could only continue to ask for help.

”Bro, what did you wanna find? If you don't tell us, how can we help you find it?” one of the male players wearing purple robes asked. Lu Li nicknamed him Ol' Mate Purple in his mind.

Mercenary groups had rules to not seek out their employer's secrets, but it didn't make sense for an employer as an Alliance player to come and wander around Undercity.

”Oh, actually I'm not too sure either,” Lu Li sighed.

The diary didn't clearly record where it was located. Those who picked up the remnant pages would be even more lost. Lu Li could only read and savour the words in the diary slowly as he went, hoping that there would be a sudden moment of enlightenment.

”Then okay, but this place you've been to twice already.”

Ol' Mate Purple thought he had obligation to inform Lu Li.

”Ahem, I'm not like some people. How could I not know I've been here twice? I just went left then right; how did I get back here?” Lu Li was very confused.

”Because it's a circle!” Ol' Mate Purple was growing annoyed.

”Then you lead the way. I'll follow behind you and watch.”

Lu Li finally admitted that this city was insane. Queen Sylvanas probably wanted enemies who infiltrated to lose themselves to death in here.

Fortunately, the two people sent by the mercenary group were locals of Undercity. Apparently, they wouldn't get lost even with their eyes closed.

They took Lu Li around each area, and Ol' Mate Purple even thoughtfully gave some commentary as he went.
