Chapter 341: The Road to the Top of Ice and Snow (II)
The Boulder Tunnel is the safest access to the summit of the Icy Mountains, and it has long been guarded by the Dwarves, who have built a gate here to keep out the invasion of the evil races. But now, it's a completely different place.
"Oh my God........."
Walking into the huge cavern and looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was stunned.
There are corpses everywhere!
Gnolls, kobolds, goblins, goblins, all sorts of monster corpses are everywhere. It looks like they're fighting the dwarves here. And these monsters obviously can't be the opponents of the dwarves, so they lie down here.
However, Fang Zheng knew very well that things were not so simple, and in the search between him and the little angel, there was not the slightest reaction of life in the vicinity, and this in itself speaks for itself.
That gate still fell.
"Quick, just ahead!"
Jasmine was also nervous at this moment, and she held the longbow in one hand and ran through the tunnel at a fast pace. Fang Zheng and the others followed closely behind, following Jasmine all the way inside. The deeper they went into the tunnel, the more corpses the monsters had, and as Jasmine turned the corner, they finally saw the underground fortress that the dwarves had built.
I have to admit that the dwarf's talent in architecture is indeed unmatched. The gate they built sealed off almost the entire megalithic tunnel. On either side of the tunnel, two huge statues of the Guardians of the Dwarven Heroes towered, and the tall walls turned into a wall of copper and iron, sealing all the gaps here. It stands to reason that under the protection of such a thick and solid city wall, even if those dwarves don't come out to fight, just closing the city gate is enough to make those monsters return in vain.
But now, the fortress has fallen.
"How can this be .........?"
Stunned and stunned at the fortress in front of her, Jasmine's eyes widened for a while, not knowing what to say, in front of her, this dwarven fortress looked no different from usual, but the open gate and the smoke and flames scattered everywhere had already explained the end of this fortress.
"This, this is impossible, even if those evil elf armies enter, it is impossible to break through the gate of the dwarves so easily............"
Jasmine is not wrong when she says this, the dwarves are tough and extremely resistant to magic, even the dark elves are difficult to hurt them. Because most of the strength of the dark elves is in magic, and the magic resistance of the dwarves is just enough to restrain the magic of the dark elves, of course, although the dark elves are also good at using poisons, but the dwarves' physique ——— ordinary poisons are useless.
As a local inhabitant of this area, Jasmine is of course well aware of the threat of the Ice Peak, and the most dangerous here are the dark elves and frost giants, but neither of these races has the strength to break through the dwarven protection so easily!
"Let's be careful, let's go in and see what's going on."
Fang Zheng raised his head and carefully examined the dwarf gate in front of him, then he frowned and said to the girls beside him in a low voice. Hearing Fang Zheng's order, the others also nodded, and then followed behind Fang Zheng, cautiously approaching the gate.
Since Fang Zheng and Nimfu had already sensed that there were no life fluctuations inside the gate, they were still more relaxed, while the others were obviously not so leisurely. They moved cautiously as they watched the gate in front of them. You know, there's no shelter around here, and if the enemy is lying in ambush behind the gates and planning to launch a surprise attack on them, there's nowhere to hide!
"Great, everybody......... There are no enemies here........."
But fortunately, they also have Katie, the elusive stalker lady, as the avant-garde, and with her reconnaissance, everyone is relieved, and then walks into the captured gate.
As far as the eye can see, there are corpses everywhere.
However, unlike before, this time, in addition to the corpses of those monsters, there are also many corpses of dwarves.
"How is this possible? Are these monsters capable of taking out bearded people? How do they do it? ”
Jasmine's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of her in disbelief, and muttered to herself. Fang Zheng crouched down, carefully examined the corpses of the dwarves, and then shook his head.
"They didn't die in battle."
"It's not......... Killed in battle? ”
Hearing this, the others quickly gathered around, while Fang Zheng nodded, pointing to the scar of one of the dwarves.
"You see, the dwarf's wounds are scattered, and there is no blood on his weapon, which means that he has little resistance, or rather......... He was killed by those monsters without any reaction. It's not just him, it's the other dwarves as well........."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpses of the other dwarves next to him.
"Nothing happens?"
"That's right."
Saying this, Fang Zheng raised his head and glanced at Jasmine.
"Does that sound familiar?"
"What do you mean ............"
When the elf girl heard Fang Zheng's inquiry, her face instantly turned pale.
"Do you ......... say?"
"It looks like something is really wrong here."
Fang Zheng didn't explain it directly, but he was very suspicious that these dwarves had also encountered the same thing as the elves, and they probably saw the black shadow as well, and then passed out directly. It's just that the dwarves don't have the beauty of the elves, so they don't have the same treatment as the elves who were captured by the goblins, but were directly killed by those monsters on the spot.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng sighed, and then he stood up and looked at the girls around him with a serious expression.
"I have something to say."
Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, the girls who were still checking around hurriedly raised their heads to look at Fang Zheng at this time, and Fina came to Fang Zheng's side and looked at him curiously.
"What's the matter? Mr. Founder? ”
"Something very important."
Hearing Fina's inquiry, Fang Zheng nodded, and then he glanced at the girls again and spoke.
"We need to decide whether or not we want to proceed with the commission next."
"Huh?"
Faced with this unexpected answer, everyone was stunned.
"Don't forget, we're not just here to take risks, it's really just a graduation assessment."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng spread his hands.
"But the current state of affairs has obviously gone beyond the scope of a simple graduation assessment, and more importantly, our commission has not had any clues so far, and at the moment, the situation at the top of the ice and snow is very wrong. Even the dwarves and elves have no power to resist, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for a few of you to continue to support it. So I want to ask, do you plan to continue? There is a good chance that there will be danger ahead, and most importantly, this trouble will probably outweigh the losses for you. ”
It was not for nothing that Fang Zheng said this, after examining those dwarves, Fang Zheng could be sure that these dwarves must have encountered a dragon. Because the dwarves' constitution is almost immune to magic and is difficult to be affected by any illusions or enchantment spells, even the caster calls these dwarves "stubborn as a stone", if Fang Zheng was still suspicious when he saw those elves before, then now, he is almost certain that the reason why these dwarves are unconscious is because they have encountered Long Wei head-on.
Because only this kind of thing, which transcends spiritual power and completely relies on the unreasonable suppression of the racial class, can make the dwarves unable to withstand it and pass out.
If Fang Zheng guessed correctly, this is most likely an evil dragon, and if this is the case, then it would be really risky to take these girls on an adventure.
"My opinion is that we give up this commission, you go back to the elven village to rest first, and Jasmine, you'd better report this matter to the elven patriarch and leave it to them to decide. It's best to get in touch with the dwarven community here........."
That's right, Fang Zheng is going to coax again.
If you can call a large army to fight, why do you have to come forward and do it yourself?
But......... At this moment, suddenly, in Fang Zheng's ears, the task prompt sound that he was familiar with once again appeared.
"Ding."
“…………………”
Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng knew that the cheater had made another move.
