Chapter 289: Goblins
Suren already knew about the passages that the grey dwarves had discovered, and he had learned from the necromancer's diary the last time he had killed him, and the necromancer had come here through one of them.
The necromancer is not a normal person, a normal person who writes a diary and writes down everything he knows, isn't this an enemy?
One of these passages leads to the Netherlands, the stronghold of the Drow Elves, far more dangerous than the underworld that Suren now occupies. Su Lun had no plans to go there for the time being, and he had to guard against an enemy sneaking up from here.
After looking at the surrounding topographical map, Suren was very interested in the ruins found by the gray dwarves, and sent someone to call the gray dwarves who found the ruins.
A few minutes later, the two grey dwarves were brought over by the guards.
"Is this the ruin you found?" asked Suren directly.
"Yes master, when the team and I were exploring the surrounding ore veins, we found that there are monsters gathered here, oh yes, there is a goblin tribe living near that ruins, they should know more about that ruins. The gray dwarf at the head said respectfully.
"The goblin tribes, there just so there's a shortage of people here, so we're going to capture them. Su Lun said directly.
It didn't take much to deal with a goblin tribe, and Suren was ready to go with a hundred gray dwarves and two teams of centaurs, and Hathaway, hearing that a ruin had been found there, strongly urged her to follow.
The army made a simple preparation, and then soon set off, Suren rode Pegasus in the middle of the group, Hathaway rode a black-maned horse with a resentful face, she originally wanted to ride Pegasus with Suren, but Pegasus was unwilling, saying that Hathaway would not come up with anything. Obviously, the little guy still holds a grudge.
The underground ruins weren't too far away, and after passing through two tunnels and an underground cavern, the group came to the vicinity of the underground ruins.
"Master, there are underground ruins, and the goblin tribe that lives here is in the northeast. The gray dwarf who was the guide stepped forward and said.
"Lead the way, go capture the goblins first, and then explore the ruins. Su Lun nodded and said.
The group continued to move forward under the leadership of the gray dwarf, this underground cavity was very large, and the sound of underground rivers could be faintly heard, there were many underground mosses and mushrooms growing on the ground, and there was a large stalactite cave on the other side of the underground cavity.
Fluttering!
At this moment, a sound of wings flapping suddenly came from the cave, and it seemed to be approaching here, Su Lun looked up, and soon saw that a black cloud flew out of the dark cave, and at the same time, there was a squeaking sound.
"It's a vampire bat!"
Hearing these sounds, the surrounding gray dwarves immediately reacted, and as underground creatures, they were all too familiar with the sound of this vampire bat. Vampire bats are notorious creatures in the Underworld, they are not powerful on their own, but there are too many of them.
Thousands of them are dispatched each time, and they like to swarm when attacking, this palm-sized vampire bat is so ferocious that even if an elephant is topped by them, it will drain its blood in less than a minute.
And because of the large number, small size, and flexible body, it is very difficult for ordinary creatures to deal with.
As the words fell, this group of thousands of vampire bats flew quickly towards the place, and at the same time, these vampire bats continued to emit strange sound waves, which made people feel dizzy and uncomfortable although they could not hear the sound.
Ice Storm!
Thunderstorm!
A tornado composed of ice blades suddenly appeared, and with the sharp ice blades, large swaths of vampire bats were cut into pieces and fell down, and for a moment the smell of blood filled the surrounding space.
Immediately after that, a dazzling thunderbolt appeared, accompanied by a roaring thunder, a large number of thunder snakes jumped and swam in the sky, and the body of the vampire bat that had just flown over was directly scorched by the thunder snake, and then fell to the ground.
Soon the ground was covered with a whole layer of vampire bats' corpses.
After clearing the vampire bats, the army continued to advance, and after more than an hour, Suren finally saw the underground ruins, and the goblin tribe was about two or three kilometers away from the underground ruins.
Without stopping, the army launched a direct attack on the goblin tribe, which has a large number of bear goblins and goblins, these bear goblins with a height of about one meter six are much stronger than their cousins, the goblins, and the bear goblins are very disciplined.
After discovering that someone was attacking, they quickly formed a phalanx of poorly equipped spears, and although most of their weapons were bone spears or rusty metal, it was not easy to complete the formation in such a short time.
Goblins were still goblins, and although their neat formation made them look a little threatening, the bear goblins were quickly scattered and captured by the dwarves' sophisticated weapons and armor and centaur bows.
"Who among you is the leader!" Su Lun asked as he stepped forward to see the battle over.
The goblins looked at each other, but no one answered his question.
"Your Excellency, goblins don't know the lingua franca of the earth!" a gray dwarf whispered as he approached Suren. Su Lun was a little embarrassed, but fortunately the light here was dim, and everyone could see clearly.
"Ahem, Hathaway will give me a fluent language!" Suren said with a cough.
Hathaway forced a smile and blessed Suren with a universal language, and Suren asked the goblins again.
"Your Excellency, your lord has just been killed!" a goblin said with a shudder.
“...”
"Well, now who among you knows the details of the ruins next to it. Su Lun asked a different question.
"My lord, Borat is most familiar with the ruins. A goblin stepped forward.
"You're Borat?" asked Suren.
"My lord, I am. The goblin said flatteringly.
Su Lun nodded: "How much do you know about that ruin?"
"My lord, that ruin has a devil's curse, and if you get close to it, you will receive the effects of the curse, and there are many terrible monsters inside. ”
"The devil's curse?" Suren raised an eyebrow.
"Curse on the devil, those who are close to there will be cursed, the body will become weak, the spirit will go crazy, some people will mutate physically, become twisted and terrible, but without exception, they will become crazy. ”
"The monsters in there are also crazy, but strangely enough, they don't leave the area, and the curse effect wanes when they leave the area. ”
"You took us over, and according to what you said, it won't be a big problem to enter in a short time. Su Lun said directly. He then left some of the soldiers to watch over the prisoners, while he led the rest to the ruins. As for Borat's opposition, it was simply ignored.
"Hathaway, you go with me, I always feel that there is something wrong with those devil's curses. ”
"Okay. ”
Soon the party split into two groups again, with more than half of them remaining in the goblin tribe to guard, and Suren led two teams of gray dwarves and a group of centaurs towards the ruins.
As Su Lun and his party continued to get closer to the ruins, they could already see a lot of broken walls scattered on the ground in front of them, these buildings had been built for a long time, and they were seriously damaged, and they couldn't see their original appearance at all, many places were in a mess, and it looked like someone else should have come here to search.
This is normal, but it is not normal if no one comes to search for this ruin. Instead of wasting time on the periphery of the ruins, the crowd continued to enter the depths of the ruins,
Babble!
Some subtle sounds faintly came from the ruins, Su Lun waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and soon a huge black shadow quickly rushed towards everyone.
"It's the Death Pincer, run!" Potra was so frightened that she turned around and was about to run away when she saw the shadow, but as soon as she turned around, she was kicked to the ground by a gray dwarf warrior next to him, and then the sharp axe blade was already across his neck.
"Run again and chop his leg directly!" Su Lun said coldly.
"Yes!"
As the words fell, the rocks in front of it were all knocked away by the black shadow, and then a huge crustacean creature with eight legs appeared in front of it, its mouth had a pair of exaggerated giant jaws, huge mouthparts covered with fangs, and its body was covered with a layer of black carapace, and it rushed over in a rampage.
"Shhh
Seeing this huge insect with a hideous appearance, the gray dwarves around him gasped. It's too big, bigger than an elephant.
Death Pincer (Mutated Creature, Challenge Level 12+)
The huge monster in front of him is actually a mutated insect, which has been mutated due to the contamination of the radiation by the magic energy, and its pair of giant jaws can easily bite the dwarf's armor into two pieces, and at the same time, the body's defense is very strong, and those carapaces have a layer of metallic luster, and the vitality is also very strong.
For the gray dwarves, the threat of this mutated monster is still very great. But when it comes to Su Lun, it's unlucky, a monster of this level is just to add some loot to him.
"Thunder Gun!"
A spear composed of thunder and lightning suddenly appeared, a large number of thunder and lightning converged, and in the next second, the thunder light skyrocketed, and the thunder spear instantly hit the death pincer insect that was rushing over. The huge death pincer worm's body instantly stiffened, a fist-sized hole was pierced through the hard carapace, and then its whole body was covered in lightning, and the eight legs twitched a few times before falling down.
A large patch of blood gushed out, and the Death Pincer was finished.
With a wave of his hand, he asked a few gray dwarves to drag the body of the death pincer worm over, the flesh of this beetle is inedible, but the carapace on his body is still a good material, and it is suitable for making shields or armor.
