Chapter 1176: Underground Passage
Before Fiat could comprehend the meaning of Rod's words, he felt a violent magical element condense from in front of Rod.
This kind of violent magic element, Fiat has only seen in some powerful spellcasters, once unguarded, hit by this level of magic, it will easily be hit hard.
After sensing this, Fiat was stunned, and before he could make any moves, he saw Rhodes lean down and then put his hand on the ground.
The next moment, there was a violent shock from Fiat's feet, and his body shook for a while, but fortunately, relying on the basic attributes of the elf, Fiat did not fall to the ground, and quickly stabilized his body, even if there was a shock under his feet, Fiat's body was still stable.
Fiat noticed a wide crack on the ground at his feet, and through the effect of magic, the crack was so deep that it almost tore the ground in half, and it was only the effect of a single magic.
The crack caused the entire stone house to be unstable, and rubble continued to fall towards the bottom of the crack, and if Fiat failed to stabilize his body, he would probably fall into the crack at this time.
Moving his gaze to Rhodes to the side, Fiat knew that everything that happened in front of him was inseparable from him, and it was Rode's spell that caused this rift to appear.
In Fiat's sight, Rhodes didn't pay attention to the situation on his side at all, but stared at the bottom of the rift, as if there was something in it, which deeply attracted his attention.
Following Rod's line of sight, Fiat looked down at the rift, and this discovery immediately shocked his heart, only to see that what appeared under the deep rift was a flickering little fire.
The presence of a fire beneath the rift undoubtedly conveyed an important message to Fiat. The flames do not generate themselves in this kind of space, and the appearance of the firelight proves that under the rift, there are intelligent creatures that can use flames, and the creatures that exist below are naturally the dwarves in the village.
The orange-yellow firelight, coming from under the rift, illuminated the relatively smooth underground passage that existed under the stone house, and explained the whereabouts of the dwarves.
Fiat's heart was shocked by Rod's observation ability, he never expected that Rhodes would find the underground passage so easily, and before he could express his emotions, Rod jumped down towards the rift and came to the passage below.
Seeing this, Fiat naturally did not continue to wait above, and hurriedly followed Rhodes and jumped down to the bottom of the rift.
After borrowing a few times on the rock walls on both sides, Fiat made his steady figure into the passage below, and the sight of the surrounding firelight also appeared in his eyes.
The passage was not spacious, with a maximum of two people moving forward at the same time, and even in the size of a dwarf, it was not much better, and it was full of traces of excavation, and the walls were lined with lighted torches at intervals.
Previously, the light of the fire observed from above was released from the torches on the wall, allowing Rhodes to perceive the location of the passage.
Removing the burning torch from the wall, Rhodes walked in one of the directions of the passage, because he didn't know the specific direction at this time, no matter which direction he went, it didn't have much impact, Rhodes just followed the instructions in his perception, and walked in the direction of the stronger magic element, while Fiat followed.
In the process of moving forward, the unique environment around him reminded Rod of how he felt in the underground world where the sorcerer lived in his previous life, perhaps because of this, Rod stopped in the passage for a while, and Fiat did not dare to say anything to disturb, so he could only wait on the sidelines.
It is also an underground passage, and the underground passages created by the expansion of the sorcerer are obviously deeper, and the passages extend to each other, and the internal roads are intricate, and if you are not careful, you will be completely lost in the underground space.
Among them, the cavemen are undoubtedly the best helpers of the sorcerer, and for the excavation of underground passages, no creature can compare to the cavemen without using spells.
Compared with the real underground passage, the underground passage dug by the dwarves in front of him is much simpler, along the way, Rhodes did not see any forks, and the height of the passage has not changed much, always maintained at a relatively fixed level.
The underground passage made by the dwarves did not take advantage of the characteristics of the underground space at all, and continued to extend to the depths of the ground, but only re-established the original dwarven village under the ground and in the horizontal direction, which was also the feeling that Rhodes had in his heart when he walked forward in the underground passage.
The advantage of this is undoubtedly to reduce the possibility of getting lost in the depths of the earth, and at the same time, this way of establishing a passage is also the most familiar to the dwarves, just go in a certain direction, you can reach any position you want to reach, and Rhodes's previous preparations for dealing with complex underground passages are completely useless at this time.
It didn't take long for Rod to feel the breath of a living creature, which was completely different from the deep atmosphere in the underground passage and opposed to death, and Rod could deeply perceive it.
Passing through the deep passage, the space in front of him suddenly opened up, and the figures of many dwarves appeared in Rod's sight, surrounded by a dwelling similar to the underground quiet room where Rhodes once was, thinking that in the current situation, dwarves could not make a more comfortable house.
Rod's appearance also attracted the attention of these dwarves, looking at this skeleton creature without any flesh and blood, an ominous meaning began to spread in the field, fear destroyed the previous peace, and a disaster was about to come.
Beside Rod, Fiat had already taken off the various badges to prove his identity, and took out the black veil commonly used by thieves and put it on his face, revealing eyes without any emotion other than indifference.
Knowing the purpose of Rhodes' visit, and the fate of the dwarves, Fiat discarded all other distractions, and the words of admiration were as if they were spoken by another man.
As if sensing something, Rhodes did not immediately make a move on those dwarves, but looked at Fiat beside him, and from his body, Rhodes seemed to have noticed something unusual.
At this time, sensing Rod's arrival, the dwarves in the underground space immediately reacted, and there was no need for superfluous words, the necromancer's invasion of Eli was destined to have no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties.
