Chapter 125: The Underworld
The long journey in the rainforest in the past few days has also made these girls suffer.
Which one is not, once high and coveted by men, but now that he is so embarrassed, it is also appropriate to take a shower and relax.
I was placed on a soft grass, and there was a pool of water under the hollow more than twenty meters in front of me, and I couldn't see anywhere, which was kind of staggered by the awkward atmosphere, but I could hear the sound of them jumping into the pool one after another and the sound of splashing in the water.
In this world, the most beautiful picture is not a beautiful bathing picture, but an imaginary picture that appears in my mind, for a while, the mood in my heart is weird, I really want to plug my ears, not to let this manic magic sound manipulate my mood.
They have taken a bath in turn, and their physical state has changed from embarrassed to fresh and refined, and a delicate beauty like them will return to a flawless state if they wash their skin casually.
Afterwards, they found some relatively dry branches and raised a fire in a clearing, roasting all the food they had gathered.
Women's hands are very dexterous, even in this very simple wilderness, can cook simple food, rare delicacy in the kitchen.
Soon, the smell of vegetables and meat penetrated my nostrils, and instead of eating first, they brought things to me, saying that I was sick and in poor health, and asked me to eat first to replenish my strength.
For these, I didn't refuse, I just looked at them gratefully, and Yin Xiangnian and Shui Nian tore the vegetables and meat into very small pieces and sent them to my mouth in turn.
I'm not moving easily now, and it hurts to lift my arms, feeding is the best way, these two Nizi are very careful in the process of feeding, and they blow with their mouths from time to time, for fear of burning me.
This made me both grateful and a little embarrassed, after all, the act of feeding the rice was too ambiguous, and in the process, Shen Qiushui, Hua Feifei and Boss Gao watched from the sidelines, with different expressions.
Perhaps, others also have the idea of stepping forward to replace Shui Nian and Yin Xiang Nian, but they are still a little jealous in their hearts, so I'm sorry.
I was just about to finish my meal when I suddenly heard a slight rustling sound from the depths of the jungle, like some creature rubbing against the dead branches and leaves on the side, and it was really hard to find if I didn't listen carefully.
"Is there a guest coming?" Boss Gao's expression froze instantly, and he turned his head vigilantly to look in the direction where the voice came from.
Whoosh!
As soon as her words fell, from behind the trees in front of her, five or six extremely fast hidden weapons with the sound of breaking the air suddenly shot out.
It is said that it is a hidden weapon, but these things are not like it, because they are too big, they are sticks that are as tall as a man, and the tip of the stick has a sharpened arrow, and it seems to be coated with venom.
Although these sticks look simple, their lethality is not bad, because the force of this throwing is not an effect that ordinary people can achieve at first glance, and each has a whirring sound of breaking through the air.
A few Nizi immediately blocked my body, and took out their weapons to knock these hidden weapons away one by one.
Boss Gao and Shen Qiushui stood at the forefront, as the two strongest people here, ready to go to war.
"The dog thing in the dark hall, why bother sneaking around, come out!" Shen Qiushui shouted proudly, the Qiushui Sword in his hand had been pulled out, cutting off a lot of flying cold arrows.
"No, these people don't seem to be from the Dark Temple, don't be impulsive yet, see if it's friend or foe!" Boss Gao stopped Shen Qiushui, who wanted to rush over, and reminded him in time.
After a round of sword rain, the other party seemed to test the reality of our group, and then, they no longer let go of cold arrows, and the surroundings were strangely quiet, they did not appear, and we did not take the initiative to attack.
However, after about a minute, I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, which was my instinctive reaction after a long battle.
"Watch your step!" I hurriedly shouted, because I was too excited, the muscles of my body were pulled too violently, and the wound began to tear and hurt again.
However, it was too late for me to warn, and suddenly a hand reached out from under the fluffy branches beneath our feet, and from the mud not far away, and grabbed the feet of these girls.
At first, these hands did not make a sound without warning, and their movements were so skillful that they seemed to have become one with the surrounding nature, as if no one else had noticed it except me.
There were more and more of these hands, one grasping one of the feet, followed by a second and third grasping on it.
Whirring, on the ground, there were suddenly countless dwarfs with mud, dead branches and leaves, less than a meter tall.
No, it's a bit inaccurate to say that they are gnomes, because the limbs of gnomes are swollen like small children and look unnatural, whereas these people's limbs are not swollen at all, on the contrary, they are very natural, like a miniature version of normal people, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that they are another breed different from normal humans.
After they grabbed these Nizi, they used a very tricky grappling technique to wrap around them, the movements were very skillful, and the strength should not be underestimated, almost without resistance, several Nizi coefficients and dozens of dwarfs were completely subdued on the ground.
Whoosh, from the ground, a few very tough rattans were weirdly drilled out, completely entangled the bodies of the Nizi, and they couldn't move.
"Damn, stop, who are you and why are you hurting us!" I tumbled off the stretcher, multiple wounds on my body had just healed, and crawled on all fours, trying to save them.
But how can someone like me, who still has problems walking, save others?
When these dwarfs saw me, they didn't know what strange language they spoke, not island Chinese, not English, I couldn't understand a word.
After saying that, they all laughed heartily, looking full of mockery, but in it, there was no bit of murderous intent, it was completely out of pranks, or a sense of contempt.
"Ye Fan, don't get excited, I have seen the picture of these people in my mind, they are the oldest and most mysterious underground dwarf race in the world, they may be able to become a big help for us on the road to fight against the Dark Temple!" Hua Feifei reminded with concern.
Underground dwarves?
It's a fitting name, and it lets me know that they are not only small, but they live underground, which I would never have believed before, but now, with the facts in front of me, I have to believe it.
These dwarves seemed to be irritated by Hua Feifei's words, or rather, really began to interrogate us, a seemingly small dwarf, pinched by the waist, standing in front of them, very arrogantly babbling something.
He said a lot, but I didn't understand a word, I looked at the state of the girls, and I was at a loss, I guess they didn't understand either.
"This is an ancient Egyptian language, only the local elderly people can understand some of it, I have heard others mention it before, I didn't expect that there are still people who use this language today!" Gao Tianai was puzzled, and tried to loosen the rope of his body during the period, but these dwarfs found it.
It's hard for me to measure the strength of each of them, but it's definitely stronger than the half-step innate masters, and besides, their tricks are very simple, and they subdue the Nizi without any fancy tricks.
In addition to the fact that this is their hole card, more importantly, I think it is that they have used a simple trick to a different level.
Later, Gao Tianai repeated a few words in English, Chinese, and Portuguese, the three languages she mastered, and the dwarfs scratched their heads, obviously they didn't understand either.
In desperation, the dwarfs consulted, and then, with a whoosh, cut through the tough rattan that was wrapped around the Niko, and the rattan seemed to be spiritually bound to them.
The dwarfs, like loot or prey, were singing strange songs, and they hurried towards the woods.
And I, who was also lifted up by a few dwarfs, walked in one direction, their attitude was not gentle, but not rude either, at least they ran quickly, and did not make my body feel excessive pain.
Galloping all the way, because the world today can no longer distinguish between night and darkness, I can only count silently in my heart to calculate time.
After about half an hour, a huge tree appeared in front of it, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was huge, because the torso of the book was as thick as that of a muscular adult.
The roots on it criss-crossed with many rattans and other numbers, twisting and turning for an unknown distance.
This giant tree is intertwined, although it is very thick, but the height is not high, only ten meters in appearance, and the shape is a little strange.
There is a huge hole under the trunk that can accommodate the three of these dwarfs to pass side by side, and we normal people can barely walk into it, a man and a woman.
When they got there, the dwarfs at the front didn't stop for a moment, and they jumped into it with the Niko like a fly.
I took a look at it in surprise, I didn't expect this trunk to be so capable, so many people jumped down and it wasn't too crowded, is there a hole in it?
After a while, it was my turn to be substituted into it, and it was only then that I realized that there was a smooth passage in the trunk that sloped downward, like a slide, and took us through it.
The long distance of the slide is extremely long, and the surface is smooth and greasy like olive oil, and the taste is a little sweet.
When we come in, the dwarfs run as a kind of inertia, which ensures that we can move fast on the slide.
After about fifty meters of sliding, after two bends, we were gliding faster and faster, and my eyes widened in disbelief that there was not only a hole in the trunk, but also another world.
I saw that this place seemed to be a huge underground paradise, surrounded by lush plants, and when I looked up, thick tree trunks and rattans crisscrossed and crisscrossed, as if forming a different kind of sky here.
Above, fireflies flutter all over the sky, emitting colorful lights, and some glowing flowers, some flying, some parasitic on the surface of the wall, becoming the source of illumination for this underground world.
Below, there is a raised mound, or rather, it is equivalent to a mound for us, and it is equivalent to a hill for these dwarfs, and the houses are neatly arranged at a distance of fifty or sixty meters below, and even in many houses, the chimneys with strange shapes are still emitting faint green smoke, and it seems that someone is cooking in them.
Blacksmith shops, restaurants, bars, KTVs, all kinds of business streets, fields, farms, more and more scenes appear below, countless dwarfs live here, like a wonderful world that we can't imagine.
After about 20 minutes, we took the slide to visit the place and came to the bottom.
Like me, the Nizi were visibly stunned, because this place was so amazing, who would have thought that there were such a strange race of dwarves on the earth we live in.
Perhaps only the subterranean structure of this rainforest can open up such a magical world.
The dwarfs who had captured us then took us to one of the largest buildings in the underworld, a large building made of twigs and rattan that resembled a yurt.
Inside, the roof of the shed was very high, more than four meters, enough for us to stand normally, and the ropes on the Nizi were still firmly tied, but we all felt that the dwarfs didn't seem to be too hostile to us.
At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the front of the main hall, trying to communicate with us in various different languages, probably seven or eight kinds, and it was my turn to understand his words.
"Welcome, humans who have stepped into the underworld for the first time in thousands of years!"
