The exploration team was surrounded by twin-tailed ground scorpions.

Arnold stepped forward after the outbreak of Steel Bean and Joan, and the War Spirit Ah Yi appeared on the battlefield, brandishing a scythe to plug the gap on the other side.

The ground scorpion's poisonous attack is completely ineffective against Ah Yi, and the degree of weakening of the physical attack on Ah Yi is also limited, so Ah Yi needs no protection at all, wielding a scythe to kill as much as he wants.

Arnold and Joan joined in to stabilize the dwarves' defensive circle, while Arthur took the opportunity to throw a healing ball at each of the two dwarves who were shot by the scorpion's tail needle, temporarily saving their lives.

Although they were smashed and burned by hammers, and the two-tailed ground scorpions were harvested one after another, Arthur found that these monsters seemed to be immortal, and the attacks continued continuously.

Arthur immediately reminded Steel Bean loudly, "Captain, these demonic beasts seem to have been corrupted by the dark element, and it seems that they won't stop until they are killed." ”

The dwarf steel bean also noticed the strangeness of these magical beasts, and he suddenly shouted during his attack, and the sledgehammer infused with fighting energy slammed into his feet three times in a row.

It is equivalent to the full attack output of the warrior, and the whole earth trembles, and both Joan and Arno are unstable on their feet and almost fall. After three hammers, a huge crack tens of meters long and three or four meters wide opened under the dwarf's feet, and several two-tailed ground scorpions fell directly into the ground crack, and the ground scorpion on the other side of the ground crack couldn't climb for a while.

"Get out there and clean these guys out!" Using the blockade caused by the steel bean, Arthur and the dwarven warriors took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, quickly clearing the twin-tailed ground scorpion on this side of the crack.

Even though the dwarven warriors were doubly careful with their shields during the cleanup, two more dwarves were injured by the Scorpiontail Needle.

The ground scorpion on this side has not been cleaned up, and the demonic beasts on the front have rushed around the crack again, and the exploration team has to slowly retreat after being cut off by the dwarf steel bean and the war spirit.

The twin-tailed ground scorpion was still in hot pursuit, and the exploration team fought as they retreated, and Arthur and Joan rushed up from time to time to replace the steel beans for a while. The retreat of the exploration team turned into a grueling tug-of-war, and the corpses of the two-tailed ground scorpions were also left behind.

When the exploration team retreated to the edge of the underground jungle, they eliminated all the pursuing twin-tailed ground scorpions. And everyone, including Steel Bean, was tired and lay down, and there were six dwarven warriors in the team who were injured to varying degrees.

While the dwarves were healing and resting, Arthur and Arnold dragged over the corpses of two two-tailed ground scorpions for study.

Arnold said worriedly: "These two-tailed ground scorpions are more corrupted by the dark element than the fire monkeys, so these guys have a lower IQ and will only attack blindly with instinct. ”

"This shows that we are in the right direction, as long as we continue to follow this road, we will definitely find the source. ”

"I just don't know what will happen in the end?"

"I knew it was going to end up being the monsters we encountered in the Canyon of Sighs. Joan suddenly interjected.

"Canyon of Sighs, what monster?" Arnold didn't go through that experience with Arthur.

"I'll tell you. Arthur took the initiative to pick up the conversation and told Arno about his experience in the Canyon of Sighs, and even Alya's current condition.

"If a living creature is attacked by a large number of dark elements and turns into a walking dead, what about dead creatures?" Arnold suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

Almost at the same time, Arthur thought, "We must get to the source as soon as possible to prevent the situation from getting worse." ”

After a short break, the team set off again, but this time only half of the group.

Steelbean left the six wounded Dwarven warriors where they were, and told them to return to Earthforner if the expedition didn't return for three days, and told the Dwarven King what they had encountered along the way and Arthur's guesses.

The journey back of the exploration team was still difficult, and there were sporadic two-tailed ground scorpions and other magical beasts popping up from time to time along the way. Fortunately, there is a powerful dwarven warrior in the team, and he has killed him all the way.

The steep slope has begun to gradually become gentle, and the terrain beneath your feet has become undulating hills, many of which are carved in the shape of hammers or axes.

"These are the graves of the dwarven spirits of the ancestors, and according to the custom of the dwarves, out of respect for the powerful dwarven warriors, the weapons they used in their lifetimes would be carved into stone on the graves. Steel Bean took the initiative to introduce the customs of the dwarves to Arthur and the others.

As he got closer, the steel bean suddenly stopped, and his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably......

......

Orc Temple.

The young orc disciples of the temple have been a little restless lately, and they can't even calm down their usual penance.

It's all because of a female orc, a female orc Lingyu who is known as the first beauty of the orcs.

Lingyu had been confined to the tribe since he was last captured, and his mood was getting lower and lower.

The high priest felt sorry for his granddaughter, so he sent someone to take Lingyu to him to teach martial arts in person.

The High Priest originally wanted the temple to be isolated from the outside world, and all kinds of rumors from the outside world would no longer affect Ling Yu's state of mind, but he ignored the influence of Ling Yu on these young orcs. These disciples always find various reasons to run to the high priest, and every time they teach the spirit feather martial arts, there are always many orc disciples watching, even if the high priest drives them away a few times, it has no effect.

The high priest knew that he could no longer keep his granddaughter with him for long, and on this day he summoned six disciples who had been recruited by the temple in the past two years, including Leon.

"The six of you are already sixth-level warriors, the key to breaking through the battle school is not only the accumulation of fighting energy, but also the body-oriented, qi and blood as the surface, and abundant qi and blood are the guarantee for your breakthrough in one fell swoop. Now there's a task for the six of you to do. ”

The six of them saluted in unison, "Please ask the high priest to show me." ”

"Five hundred miles northwest from the Temple Mount, there is a dangerous place called Lethe Gorge, and at the end of the canyon grows a bloody vine in a cave. The blood gourd vine bears fruit once in a hundred years, and the blood gourd is a great tonic for replenishing qi and blood. ”

"The High Priestess wants us to pick the blood?" asked the Tiger Orc on the far left.

The High Priest nodded slowly, "Exactly." This time, let a few of you go to the Lechuan Canyon, that is, let each of you take a blood gourd back to prepare for the next breakthrough of the war school. In addition, it is also a test for you, such a precious thing as the Blood Vine is naturally guarded by powerful demonic beasts, and I ask you to take it back without killing the guardian demonic beasts. ”

"The High Priest must not be disappointed. The six replied in unison again.

Ling Yu walked in from outside the door at this time, and stood behind the high priest without saying a word.

The High Priest spoke again, "Lingyu will also go with you this time, and you will be responsible for helping me take care of her." ”

Seeing that Lingyu was also going to go with him, all of the six couldn't help but smile except for Leon and a female orc.

Ling Yu frowned slightly, and said stubbornly: "I don't need others to take care of me." ”

The High Priest sighed softly, "At this time, I will let people take care of you for the last time, and when you retrieve the blood gourd from the Lethe River Canyon and successfully advance to the orc warrior, I will no longer care about your own affairs in the future." ”
