Chapter 41: The Labyrinth of Dreams
"But this time, we can't let the fire elemental help anymore." Elder Tang was a little melancholy, glanced back at the fire element, and then strode forward, leading the team to continue to set off.
The lava hell is interspersed with various paths that resemble drawbridges, with only a foot-wide path in between.
It is scorched by high temperatures all year round, and the adobe above is as hard as iron, and the bottom is melted by the hot lava of all things.
Elder Tang took the lead and led the team to walk over cautiously, looking at the little goblins in front of him, who were still trembling uncontrollably, Qiu Xiaobai smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to hold the little Lori who was side by side.
In the high temperature environment, there was a trace of sweat on the white face of the little Lori, and at this moment she was stretching out her fair and slender fingers to pick up a strand of hair between her ears.
Looking at Qiu Xiaobai's concerned expression, after a little hesitation, he stretched out his left hand and held it tightly, leaving only a slightly red little face that people couldn't really look at and looked back at the narrow road behind him.
"We've arrived at the dwelling of the rat beast in front, let's all take out our weapons and prepare to attack." Elder Zhang, who advocated calming the matter, also had to concentrate at this moment, holding his cane in his hand and being on guard with all his body.
The foul smell and pungent salty smell came from the ventilation, and without the blue face towel anti-poison and anti-taste Di Qiu Xiaobai immediately called up the sensory system and reduced it to a minimum.
What caught my eye was a suddenly empty underground cavern, with three or two dim crystals piled on the ground, glowing faintly.
At the entrance, there was a blue ground bead embedded in the stone wall, and Qiu Xiaobai observed silently.
Every time a goblin dwarf enters the cavern, the blue beads on the stone wall glow once, looking like some kind of modern technological sensor.
Psychedelic Orb: Magically magical, it makes people love and hate, and want to reject and shame.
Qiu Xiaobai knew that this bead was inlaid at the gate of the rat-body beast clan, and it must have its own reason.
It's not just about induction, but I don't know what the purpose of this bead is. Psychedelic what?
At that moment, he took a step and followed the elders into it slowly, and after a little attention, the psychedelic orb really flashed a white light.
There is a towering tree growing inside, and it takes dozens of people to hold hands and hug the trunk of the tree, and the height of the ground cannot be seen from the bottom up, just like a world sacred tree growing in the underground world.
It's a pity that this big tree has no life.
All of this is due to the arrival of the rat-body beast land, which has infected the virus plague here.
The original vigorous landlord branch has long been rotted into thousands of holes, so fragile that the bark of the tree can be broken like foam at the touch of a button, which is really shocking and helpless.
There are holes of various sizes in the four walls, and it is unknown whether they lead to the outside world.
There are many black holes in front of me scattered all over a large and thick tree root, and judging from the dark ground at the entrance of the cave, I don't know how deep it is.
On the edge of one of the caves, which was much wider and longer, several elders were gathering around to listen in turn, sensing the movement inside in a way unique to the goblins.
"Except for the only remaining deterrent, there is no sound in it, is it simply empty?" Elder Zhao's face was solemn, and he looked at Elder Tang and said.
"It stands to reason that it's impossible, we've been showing weakness for the past few years, and they've all kicked their noses in the face, so we shouldn't think we dare to smash their lair." Elder Huang stroked the crutches in his hand and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"Even if they go out to forage, at least there are people left here to guard the old nest, something is wrong with this situation, let's be careful." After looking around, Elder Zhang extinguished the torch in his hand and whispered.
"All the rat-body beasts are all out, I'm afraid there is really one possibility, and that is ......"
Elder Tang was shocked, and before he could finish his words, many gopher body beasts with crossbows were already pouring out from all directions.
There were only more than eighty dwarves and goblins, and looking at this posture, there were as many as three hundred rat-body beasts, all of whom poured into the cave together.
Gopher-armed beasts with knives and spears have rushed forward, mingling with goblin dwarves armed with shovels and pickaxes.
With the blessing of the innate earthquake deterrent, the combat power of each rat-body beast skyrocketed.
Gopher-like beasts go out every day to seek food, constantly accumulating experience in fighting for food and surviving in wild duels, and only by snatching food from the tiger's mouth can they survive.
The young goblin who has been working in the mine since he was a child, although he has strong physical strength, but his thinking and reaction ability is poor, and he has no combat experience at all.
In less than half a moment, the goblin dwarves were rolling on the ground with screams of pain, and they could no longer stand upright.
When Qiu Xiaobai and Xiao Lori finished working together to solve a rat-bodied beast, they saw that the goblin elders had been strengthened by swords.
"What is it? Was it an ambush? Isn't it too late to find out now? The Rat-Fleshed Beast Patriarch laughed, and as soon as his words fell, he had already swaggered in from the door, staring condescendingly at the dwarven goblins.
The Rat-Fleshed Beast Patriarch was huge, tall-headed, and particularly conspicuous among the rat-fleshed beasts, with his plush palms spread out, and a blue bead slowly swirling in his hand with a bright light.
Qiu Xiaobai was stunned, and everywhere he looked, on his wide palm, it was the beads that had just fallen into the wall.
The rat-body beast patriarch was condescending, and his whole body exuded an unusually unpleasant smell.
The dark green pupils have a bewitching charm that makes people feel frightened, as if they are looking at a demon.
"Fortunately, I have this secret treasure, take a closer look, are you familiar with the picture of the circulating place?" The Rat-Fleshed Beast Patriarch raised his eyebrows lightly and handed the psychedelic orb to the middle of the goblin elders, allowing them to see it for real.
On the fiery lava hell, a series of goblin dwarves walked through the suspended sheep intestine path one after another, and the whole picture was extremely clear, which was exactly what Fang Cai and his party did.
Seeing this, several goblin elders were silent, dejected, and no longer high-spirited.
"I can't imagine that you still don't have such a long memory, not only are the goblins short and pitiful, but their memory is always lost." With a burst of laughter, the Rat-Body Beast Patriarch waved the ground armor in front of him and fixed the Psychedelic Orb in his hand in the air.
"Bold and ignorant people, I have found a secret treasure, and today I want you to taste it, but I want to see how you came out of this dream realm."
Before they could speak, the rat-body beast clan leader waved his hand, and the psychedelic orb floated to the side of several goblin elders with the gesture, and stayed on their eyebrows for a moment, and then continued to sweep every goblin dwarf who fell to the ground.
The psychedelic orb stayed for a short time, and after staying in each of his eyebrows for a moment, Qiu Xiaobai saw that Elder Tang, who was the leader, had closed his eyes tightly, breathed meekly, and sank into a dream.
It wasn't until he finished scanning all the goblin clansmen that the psychedelic orb stopped in front of Qiu Xiaobai.
glanced at Xiao Lori, and both of them saw a hint of trickiness in each other's eyes.
It's really hard to do.
Qiu Xiaobai's brows tightened, all the goblin clansmen in the field had fallen into a dream, and only the rat-body beast patriarch and several of his subordinates were left to stand in the middle of the field.
"Would you like to give it a try? Adventurer. As long as you succeed in your challenge, I may be able to spare this group of ignorant groundhogs. ”
Under the playful expression of the rat-body beast patriarch, a pair of turquoise pupils continued to shrink and expand, making people's scalps tingle in fright.
