51 The cannibalistic underworld
I'm busy, and I've finally written a chapter.
--------------------------
The dwarves that had been dense just now were now like stacks of haystacks. These "haystacks" occupy the entire sacrificial grounds, arranged in a messy manner. At a glance, there are no less than a few hundred in total.
There were no lone dwarves on the ground, and all the dwarves were piled up in the "haystack".
The most peculiar thing is that on each haystack there is also a dwarf man, who tears open the mouth on his stomach and screams "whew, whew".
Ace was a little overwhelmed, but the dwarves were out of the way, so he naturally wanted to go to Catherine. So Ace boldly walked to the front altar.
In fact, it doesn't feel good to walk alone on the side of these piles of "haystacks".
Because every time they pass a "haystack", the dwarf forest people above it will cry out with extraordinary effort. And the guys in the "haystack" will stretch out their hands even more and want to come to Laas.
Ace, of course, would not let them succeed, and carefully wandered among the "haystacks". Sometimes, when he encountered a "haystack" that was close to each other, he could not pass through the gap between them, and Ace had to make a detour.
In this way, As's speed could not be fast, and he was lost in these "haystacks" as he walked.
Compared to As's caution, the goblin scholar was much more excited. If he weren't an undead, I'm afraid his eyes would have lit up.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. It should have been written down, it should have been written down. ”
But the goblins were excited, and kept complaining: "I shouldn't have helped that female mage if I knew it." Now I can't write it down, I can't write it down. How can there be such a thing, you can't actually write it down. ”
Ace could understand that the goblins knew about Catherine, and even helped her. But how could Catherine be sacrificed?
Thinking of this, Ace couldn't help but speed up his steps. But nothing good will come of it when it is sacrificed. Although the sacrifice has now been suspended, who knows what will happen next. You have to get to the altar as fast as you can.
But now Ace is disoriented, and the more anxious he is, the more he can't find the right way. Everywhere you go, it's a "haystack" that looks pretty much the same.
In a hurry, Ace was not paying attention, and was pulled by a "haystack". Now it's a problem. Even if those dwarves have short hands and small strength, they can't deal with so many hands pulling together, and they are as strong as As.
Seeing that he was about to be pulled into the "haystack", Ah Ace roared "ah", picked up the bone spear in his hand, and drew it behind him.
In a hurry, Ace used all his strength. I didn't expect that the "haystack" was really like a pile of hay, soft and unobstructed. Ace didn't have the strength to eat in his hands, and the man fell, and his heart was surprised,
However, he has rich combat experience, and he is not flustered, his waist and abdomen are strengthened, and he jumps off the ground, and the whole person actually spun in mid-air. After two turns, several dwarves who grabbed him were thrown out. The dwarves that were stacked up collapsed with a bang.
Ace seized the opportunity and immediately pulled out of the crowd.
"If you don't eat them, they will come and eat you. The voice of the goblin rang in his ears.
Ace didn't have time to think about the meaning of these words, but he saw a few dwarves who had climbed up, crouched down, and jumped at him with a "whoosh".
How dare Ass let these "frogs" pounce on him. He grasped the bone spear in both hands, and fired his bow left and right, knocking the dwarf man flying. Unexpectedly, more and more dwarves got up, and they rushed towards him one after another. It's going to get entangled, and in less than three or five seconds, it's going to be crushed into the pile.
Ace screamed badly, turned around and ran. In that collapsed "haystack", there were no less than a hundred dwarves. They screamed and jumped and chased after them.
Fortunately, there were "haystacks" all over the ground, and it would be difficult for these dwarves to catch up for a while. Because if you are not careful, you will bump into another "haystack", and you will be dragged into it by the dwarves on it.
Ace took advantage of the terrain to dodge and avoid the "grass pile". If a lone dwarf comes after him, he will take him down.
Although the dwarves are ugly and vicious, they are small in stature after all. And he doesn't have the skills to fight, he acts on instinct. Therefore, generally three or five dwarves are not opponents at all against As.
This is also fortunate that the dwarves have limited intelligence, and they do not know how to encircle and outflank, so they will only chase after As. Otherwise, Ace would never have had a chance to escape.
Relying on the obstruction of the "haystack", Ace finally knocked out all the dwarves. He was panting from exhaustion, and sat on the ground with seven or eight dwarves in front of him.
Some of these guys are not dead yet, their hands and feet are twitching, and the mouth on their stomachs is open, as if they want to eat As.
"You'd better eat them. The goblin's head fluttered over As's shoulder, becoming very blurry, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
"What do you mean?" Ace was exhausted, and the fight had consumed much more energy than he had imagined.
"If you don't want to die here, eat them. The goblin's words had an eerie taste, "You're a two-headed giant, it's normal to eat them." And it's also good to replenish your stamina and exertion. As I said, either you eat me or I eat you in the underworld. How can you live without eating. ”
Ace shuddered, looking at the dwarves who were still squirming on the ground, he couldn't imagine eating them.
"You're not kidding, are you? they're not beasts. Ace felt that his mouth was very thirsty, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, but suddenly found that his mouth was dry and unpleasant.
"These dwarves eat even their own kind, and they are worse than wild beasts. The goblin said coldly, "You eat at least one to prove that you are a two-headed giant." I don't know why these dwarves took the initiative to recognize you as their guardian saint. This kind of dwarf people pile up a pile of people, called the dedication tower. They will only do this when the Patronus descends. ”
"Do you hear the dwarves on the tower? Being eaten by a Patronus is the highest honor for the Dwarves. You've just chosen a devotion tower, so you're going to eat them. Otherwise, your identity as a patron saint will not be recognized, and you will only be eaten by the dwarves. ”
As soon as the goblins finished speaking, the surroundings actually fell silent. Ace felt that the devotion towers of the dwarves were watching him. If he doesn't eat a dwarf right away, they'll rush over and tear themselves apart into their stomachs.
Ace looked at the dwarves in front of him, and the thought of stuffing them into his mouth made his mouth thirstier and thirstier.
"You'd better hurry, those dwarves won't be very patient. "The goblin is like a seductive teacher at the moment," it is natural for races and races to prey on each other. Dragons, demons, and giants are examples of what they do, all of which prey on other races, including humans. A bear can eat you, and you can eat a bear. The Dwarves were originally the bottom species of the Underworld, and all the indigenous races here fed on them. Of course, they will also look for opportunities to eat other races. But the chances are slim, just like the black-fronted rat doesn't have a chance to eat the dragon. ”
"Besides, you have to eat to have the strength to save that female mage. The last words of the goblin gave Ace's psychological defense the final blow.
"You can't eat it raw, can you? Ace frowned, and with the little strength he had just accumulated, he dragged a dwarf who was still moving. But he still felt that he couldn't speak.
"You can eat with your eyes closed, why don't the dwarves have eyes? The goblin's sense of humor added to the feeling that Ace wanted to vomit.
Ace twisted his head away, raised his bone spear, and slammed it downwards a few times. The dwarf man screamed twice, and was completely dead.
"For Catherine. Ace reached out and grabbed one of the dwarves' arms, and twisted it off with a "click". He closed his eyes and brought the arm to his mouth. After hesitating for a long time, I finally took a bite of it.
