48 A dwarf man who resembles a frog
The sudden sound startled As. He walked for most of the day, and he had long thought that he was alone here.
"Who?" Ace tightened his grip on the bone spear, alertly pressing against the wall of the passage.
The problem now is that he can't see anything, but Ace doesn't dare to use the bone lamp lightly, for fear that he will become the target of the attack.
"Stupid. The voice said again.
This time Asko listened carefully, and the voice was in his ears, and it was very familiar.
"Professor Goblin, is it Professor Toeto?" Ace flung the bone shard, but he couldn't find the goblin.
"Twelve toes, not toes. The voice was a little unhappy, "You're the dumbest person I've ever met, do you want to get out of here?"
"Yes. Ace hurriedly replied, he didn't care how many toes he had, the key was to be able to get out, "Do you have a good way?"
"This kind of cave, just follow the air current. The goblin professor pointed to As, "Feel the direction of the air current, and go along." ”
"Good. Ace put away the bone fragment and immediately closed his eyes, feeling the so-called air current. In fact, the passage is so dark that you can't see your fingers, and your eyes are the same.
"It's that I'm sluggish, I can't seem to feel it. "Ace felt it for a long time, but nothing came of it.
"It's a dead end, how can there be an air current, go a little further. The goblin professor's tone was impatient.
Asyiyan groped his way forward, and sure enough, he quickly felt a subtle air flow blowing across the back of his hand. If it weren't for the goblin reminder, he probably wouldn't have paid attention at all.
Then it's a lot easier. The air flow in the passage was like a signpost, and Ace followed the air flow without touching the dead end. Gradually, the subtle air currents became stronger and stronger, and there was even some wind in the channel.
Ace knew that he might be about to get to the exit.
"Professor, have you been with me, do you know about Catherine?" Ace was a little wary of the goblin professor. This guy comes and goes without a trace, and always follows him. Asko didn't have the same respect for scholars as Catherine, so he simply tried to get the goblins.
The goblin did not speak, and the university scholar had an odd temper and was usually reluctant to answer other people's questions head-on. Although the current situation was not good, and he wanted to find the former king of hell as soon as possible, the goblin remained stubbornly silent.
In order to drive As's body, Mr. Professor paid a great price. After passing through a spatial rift, he had to go into a deep sleep for a while. However, he woke up only a little later than As, and for a while he watched in the dark, vaguely guessing where they were.
Now Mr. Professor is in dire need of more information to prove his guess. This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to spend his strength to point out to As.
In Mr. Professor's opinion, if his guess is confirmed, it is unlikely that he will be able to get out of the predicament by relying on this kid in front of him, who only has half a soul. The only one who can be relied on is the former king of hell. Although the king is also weak now, it is unknown whether he can save his life.
The goblin's silence was not too unexpected, and the old professor had barely answered any questions from the members of the Kuhl mercenary group since he appeared. He didn't say a word, and eighty percent disappeared without a trace.
But Ace knew that since the goblins were willing to guide him, they would definitely show up. Anyway, as long as this erudite scholar is by his side, there is absolutely only good and no harm.
In the mercenary group, in terms of knowledge, Ace can be regarded as the worst one.
The leader of the group, Catherine, is a scholar-type magician with first-class knowledge, Green Wind is a long-lived elf with a unique inheritance of the elf family, and is also rich in knowledge, Ferry is a priest and has a lot of access to information from the Church Church, and even the dwarf of the Anvil has traveled to most of the Eastern Continent because of his long career as a mercenary.
Only Ace has no memories of the past, and the beginning of his memory is to stay in the royal city. Later, he and Catherine formed the Kuhl Mercenary Group, and only in the past two years have they gained a lot of knowledge.
Right now, in this strange environment, Ace really hopes that Catherine can be by his side and get out of the predicament with him. Even if one of the other three partners of the mercenary group is here, it is much better than him walking around alone.
When Ace thought of his companions, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. Since taking over the task of making a fortune, the mercenary group has been under a spell, and it has been falling apart step by step.
Now the team members are dead, wounded, and their whereabouts are unknown, and their lives and deaths are unknown. Could it really be because in the past few years, the mercenary group has carried out its mission too smoothly and lucky? So this time, the Supreme God smashed all the bad luck and blows on their heads?
Ace sighed inaudibly.
The wind in the passage suddenly became stronger, and Ace put away his ramblings and saw a bright light appear in front of him. That's a real light. Export, must be exported!
Ace involuntarily strode forward. Sure enough, he saw a half-man-high hole. And from outside the hole, there was a rhythmic shout.
The shouts are not loud, but they are very rhythmic. Although Ace didn't understand it, he felt that it was a kind of prayer, the sound of many people praying together.
"There's someone out there, damn it!" Ace's mind suddenly tensed a little, which meant danger. If it was the guys who captured him, the fight would have been inevitable.
But now it's clear that it's in the other party's lair, and if it really starts, it's Asi who will definitely suffer.
Ace ran to the entrance of the cave, carefully lay down, and climbed to the edge of the cave little by little to look out. At this sight, despair will be born in my heart.
The entrance to the cave where Ace is located is actually open on a straight rock wall, and it is neither high nor low in the middle of the rock wall. Outside the entrance to the cave, a strong wind blew down from above, as if it were sticking to the rock wall. I don't know if it's because of the long wind, the rock wall has become very smooth.
Looking up from the entrance of the cave, there are large swaths of inverted stalactites at a height of more than ten meters, black, white, yellow, and green...... There are as many as five or six colors.
These stalactites emit a faint glow that illuminates the entire space. However, the strength of the light emitted by the stone is very limited after all. Large stalactites stretch out, and this light slowly disappears into the darkness in the depths.
The situation here is somewhat similar to the underground kingdom of the dwarves, it is a huge cavern.
Ace looked down from the entrance of the cave again, the entrance of the cave was about dozens of meters high from the ground, and the ground was densely packed with "people". Actually, those creatures are not human in the usual sense of the word. They are more like frogs that have been magnified dozens of times. But these frogs don't look like they have heads, and their bodies are dark red.
The frogs knelt on the ground, with their hands stretched out in front of them, and kept raising and lowering, lifting, lowering, and bowing in one direction. As they prayed, they prayed "hoo-hoo-hoo."
Ace estimated that there were at least tens of thousands or more frogs kneeling on the vast ground below.
Following the direction of the frogs' worship, and crossing the crowd, you can see a long, narrow black hole in the ground ahead, and the edge of the hole is full of craggy strange rocks. From afar, it looks like a huge mouth on the ground, about to swallow everything.
There seems to be a platform in front of the giant mouth, but it's too far away for Ace to see it really. I could tell that there was a person on the platform, and a golden frog was bouncing around it.
"Dwarves. The goblin's voice rang in Ace's ears, "What a dwarf. ”
As soon as Ace turned around, he almost didn't scream.
The professor's head actually grew from As's shoulder.
