Ace fell dizzily, and his body fell apart as if he had just been trampled on by an elephant.

He guessed that he might faint briefly for a few seconds, so when he opened his eyes, everything he saw was blurry. Fortunately, As's ears have been faithful to his duties, so that he can still hear the noisy shouting around him.

Ace instinctively propped himself up and staggered to his feet. Luckily, I fell down so high and didn't seem to be injured. He fumbled, removing the bone spear from his back and placing it across his chest.

"I'd love to know how Catherine is doing. Ace thought as he took two steps forward, each step he stepped on was soft. If I was not mistaken, at least five or six dwarves who had been praying just now had become poor meat pads.

"Why haven't they rushed up yet?" Ace blinked a few times, he was ready for a desperate fight.

But for some reason, there were so many dwarves around, but no one rushed up to attack him. They just screamed "whoa, whoa, whoa".

"Let's just think these 'frogs' are communicating. "Anyway, Ace doesn't understand.

After a few hard blinks, As's eyesight finally recovered. He looked around at the scene, and his scalp was cold.

"It's better not to be able to see clearly. ”

Observing the dwarves up close is definitely not a pleasure. This race is only slightly taller than the dwarves, with stout and well-developed lower limbs and relatively small upper limbs. Their palms and soles of their feet are covered with something resembling a sucker. It may be that they rely on these suction cups to climb the rock wall.

The skin of the dwarves is dark red. From a distance, you can't see that the dark red skin is covered with small bumps of flesh that make people itch. These bumps are no larger than the size of a tiny fingernail, and from time to time they will crack a crack and then close again, occasionally bleeding a yellow-brown liquid from it.

Dwarvens look like frogs without a head, but they do not actually have such a part as a "head". Ace never discovered where their eyes, noses, and ears grew.

As for the dwarves' mouths, they can be seen at a glance - on the abdomen. There was a long, slender cleft in that area, which could open up and down to a third of the length of their entire body if needed, revealing two rows of sharp teeth inside, as well as a bloody abdominal cavity and part of the internal organs.

The dwarf man's cry of "huhhh Although Ass did not see the so-called tongue and vocal cords.

"You know why these dwarves didn't rush up?" Ace didn't know when the goblin popped up again, a head floating over his shoulder.

"I don't know. Ace said angrily, "Who understands what they're saying?" These guys are really unpleasant-looking. ”

Ace swung his bone spear twice, tentatively taking two steps forward. The dwarves retreated.

"The Dwarves are an ancient race left over from true antiquity. The goblin said quietly.

"Don't look at them because they look strange, but they have the blood of ancient gods flowing through them. This race has existed on the continent even longer than the elves. The language of the Dwarves is one of the languages that retains the pronunciation of the Age of the Gods, in addition to the Elven Divine Language. Unfortunately, their language has no written language, and many of the pronunciations of ancient gods have slowly been eroded by time and disappeared. ”

Ace was not at all interested in the professor's explanation. He is more concerned about when these ugly "headless frogs" will rush over and eat themselves.

Ace bared his teeth and made a vicious appearance. He continued to rush out two more steps, and found that the dwarves did not dare to attack him.

But the dwarves huddled around, confined him to a small area.

"Don't you provoke them, do you really think they're afraid of you?" the goblin reproached, "Look behind you. ”

Ace looked back and saw that where he was standing just now, there were originally four or five dwarves who had been stoned to death by him. There were two guys who crashed into his arms and fell half to death.

But at this moment, he found that the dead and wounded dwarves were gone. Ace's heart moved, and he took two steps towards the place where he had originally fallen.

The dwarves scrambled to retreat, revealing a patch of bones on the ground. The bones were gnawed clean, and not even a single scrap of meat remained. Among them were several long, thick bones, similar to the bone spears in As's hands.

Ace gasped, "It's not going to be this time, those dwarves have been eaten, right?

"Dwarves eat everything, and eating their own kind is nothing. They can even eat rocky dirt if they need to. The goblin explained coldly, "'Dwarf' means food in the language of the gods, and the other means food. They themselves are also food for other races. To put it bluntly, the underground world is a world where you eat me and I eat you. Of course, the Dwarves are the largest, multiplying rapidly, and have weak individuals, which is why they are the main source of food for other races in the Underworld. ”

Ace's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he suddenly had a bad thought, "Catherine can't have been eaten by the dwarves, right?"

The goblin seemed to see through his thoughts, and actually laughed rarely: "But you don't have to worry about yourself and the female mage, the dwarves won't eat you for the time being." ”

"Why?" asked Ass subconsciously.

This time, the old professor actually answered his question, "Because these dwarves think you may be a two-headed giant." They've been discussing whether you're a two-headed giant or not, and whether you're going to eat them. ”

"Ah, the two-headed giant?" this answer made Ace scratch his head for a moment, "Can I be called a 'giant' as a son, and where are the two heads? It can't be because of you, right?"

Ace turned his face to look at the goblins.

"Of course it's because of me, if not that I've been on your shoulder. These dwarves have already rushed up and torn you apart. The goblin looked disapproving of As's surprised expression, "The dwarves have a very low intelligence, and if you are taller than them and carry an extra head on your shoulder, that is enough." In fact, if you think about it, how could this ancient race, which has existed since the time of the gods, still live like it now if it has a high level of intelligence. It's long overdue for them to create their own civilization. How can they not even have words, but just wander in the underground world in a tribal way?"

Ace remembered the cave where he had been bound in the first place, and the dwarves lived in a rudimentary environment, and they didn't seem to be able to use even the simplest tools. Compared to humans, it is really in a primitive state.

"Catherine, by the way, you said they weren't going to eat Catherine. Ace swung his bone spear and pushed back a few dwarves who wanted to come closer, "You know where Catherine is, do you know her whereabouts?"

"Don't you know? Don't you see her?" said the goblin, "she's on the altar." She was the sacrifice of the Dwarves this time. So the dwarves won't eat her. ”

"What?" Ace did see the altar and what was on it, but he didn't realize it was Catherine.

"Old fellow, why didn't you say it earlier. Ace roared angrily, turned and rushed in the direction of the altar.

He took the bone spear horizontally in his hand and slammed it directly into the dwarf crowd. Like pushing a stone, Ace pressed two or three dwarves into the crowd three or four meters away.

The dwarves were frightened by As's actions, which triggered a cascade of unexpected consequences.

The dwarves retreated one after another, and those who didn't have time to dodge actually jumped up "poofed". It turns out that these "frogs" can really jump like frogs, and they can jump to a height of five or six meters.

But this adds to the level of confusion. Whenever a dwarf jumps, many dwarves around him follow suit. And when the dwarves who jumped up fell like stones into the crowd and knocked down several of their kind. The dwarves who jumped up after them would also end up in the same place.

In an instant, a pile of people would be piled up there, until it was four or five meters high, until no other dwarves could jump on it.

A few minutes later, Ace stared at the scene in front of him in amazement.
