Chapter 67: The Sex Discrimination of Eating Fruit

  Thanks to Guronii as a guide, Rovin easily obtained the route from Taniguchi into the Suzaku Valley basin and not just one important piece of information.

  The ancestral valley of the Jade Department is not as flat and single-layered as it looks, but has a crisscrossing underground cave that can lead directly to Lake Heart Island under the ground.

  There were safer underground caves to explore, but fools would still continue to roam on the surface, so Luo Wei rushed to the nearest underground cave entrance from the valley at the fastest speed.

  At the entrance of the underground cave, Rove saw a lot of traces left by people passing through with his naked eye, not to mention Groloney who was better at tracking.

  "Glory, it seems that this secret underground passage is no longer known only to the Jade Division."

  Rovi carefully examined the surroundings of the entrance to the underground cave, saying as if to Grolseni, and Grolseni's reaction was a silent nod.

  In the diary of Slareloth, the leader of the Bloodhand clan, there is no record of him entering the underground ruins of the ancient battlefield. Therefore, this secret underground passage was probably discovered by Lord Ferrodo. If so, then in Rowan's view, there is basically only one possibility - they have taken prisoners.

  In movies and TV shows, any Tom, Dick or Harry can be portrayed as being able to withstand torture and emerge unbroken, but that's just a lie. Otherwise, special forces and spies have to undergo training in withstanding captivity, which is also why those martyrs are great and worth writing about - because they endured the severe physical and mental torture that ordinary people simply cannot withstand.

  It was clear to him that when the Jade Regiment was annihilated, some of the captives would become despicable tribal traitors in order to survive.

  But Luo Wei did not directly remind Ge Luoxian, he was afraid that after knowing this news, Ge Luoxian would impulsively rush to rescue or kill - which is a dead end.

  After searching around, Luo Wei did not find the corpses of the mountain people who were killed, nor did he discover fresh mountain people zombies in the vicinity, and there was even less evidence of large-scale battles.

  It seems that the Lord Frodo, with the help of the traitor from the Emerald Department, quickly led a large group into the underground cave before those undead on the ground could react, and the traitor from the Emerald Department should not have been abandoned and killed yet, but seemed to still have some use.

  Logically speaking, under the guidance of the guide, two days would be enough for that Lord Frodo to enter the simple military camp and the lake heart giant stone fortress through the underground tunnel channels, but what about the whole valley observed at the mountain pass before, which was calm and peaceful?

  "Gloriana, is there anything down in those underground caverns? I mean, the kind of thing that attacks the living."

  So Luo Wei asked.

  "I don't know." Gwendolyn shook her head and then added: "Women are not allowed in there."

  Women are not allowed in?

  This is gender discrimination by Red Fruit, in those feminist countries on Earth, that's going to be a lawsuit!

  This answer made Rovi despise the men of the Emerald Department to an unprecedented degree, not that Rovi was a traitor among males, but simply because this damn rule made him lose his greatest advantage in knowing each other.

  "Ge Luoxianni, I think it's better for us to stay on the surface for now and sweep away those undead creatures along the roads to strengthen my undead minions first, it's a wiser choice."

  After a slight hesitation, Luo Wei frankly expressed his thoughts.

  In a situation where both eyes are black, blindly entering the underground world is not an optimal choice at all, and it's absolutely better to kill undead outside while monitoring.

  "No." However, Gloriana shook her head at Rovi again and then said resolutely: "I'll go in alone!"

  "No way! It's too dangerous down there, and you're not very good at close combat!"

  Rovi immediately vetoed Gloxiana, since he had already considered Gloxiana a true friend and would never let her go to her death.

  "Not close combat, just reconnaissance, like what we did outside just now."

  Gloriana tried to explain, and her brief explanation successfully made Rovi understand her meaning - Gloriana meant that she would clarify the situation underground without alarming anyone, then come back to report, and then Rovi would formulate a plan for their next action.

  Rovin nodded in agreement with Glorene's request without much hesitation, as this was the most optimal choice under the circumstances.

  "If you find those guys, don't get too close to them, set up some obstructive traps on the road if possible. If discovered, don't hesitate, turn around and run back..."

  Before Guo Xuan Ni set off, Luo Wei nagged her with various reminders like a menopausal mother.

  The mountain girl didn't show any impatience, but rather nodded once every time Rovi "nagged" her until Rovi concluded the whole nagging speech with "In short, you must remember that Guronnie, dead people can't avenge themselves!"

  Rovi watched as Guronie's figure disappeared into the entrance of the underground world, which was like a huge beast's mouth. Only when she had vanished from sight did Rovi turn around and leave with the four corpses. He hurried in the direction of the only road in the basin that led directly from the mountain valley entrance to the simple military camp and the island in the middle of the lake.

  Rovin wasn't worried that Glosannie wouldn't be able to find him if she returned, since he had just said in his previous muttering that he would head in the direction of the road and leave signs along the way.

  Just a few hundred meters after walking out, Luo Wei discovered a skull warrior wandering in the dense forest. The skull warrior was still wearing tattered leather armor and clothes, it's unknown how many hundreds of years he had been dead.

  At almost the same time that Rovi saw the skeleton swordsman, the skeleton swordsman also discovered Rovi's existence as a living being. So, under its instinctual tendency, it tightly grasped its white bone long sword and killed towards Rovi. The soul fire flashing incessantly within the skeleton swordsman's skull fully proved that at this moment, its only obsession was to tear Rovi, this living person, into eight pieces.

  Unfortunately, the skeleton swordsman didn't even get within three meters of Rovy, because Rovy had already used a preemptive strike with his soul fire to strip away the skeleton's undead powers, causing it to collapse into a heap of scattered bones.

  The soul fire of this skull warrior was fed by Luo Wei to Ao Hei, who was also a skull warrior.

  But Rove didn't have time to rest, for amidst the clattering of the skeleton swordsman, a startled specter helmeted gunner emerged from behind a withered tree, followed by an undead mountain villager huntress holding a bow and arrow, then came another skeleton swordsman...

  But in the blink of an eye, it was a sea of lost souls.
