Chapter 117: Sick Wood
The rift is very deep, and according to Night Moon's estimate, the place where the fire elemental crystal appears is close to the ground, which means that it can be mined directly from the ground, which is another good news.
However, the direction of the fissure is an arc towards the mountain, and the mine will probably have to dig very deep to reach the storage site of the elemental crystal.
Unas dragged the dwarf brothers into the spider cave and wanted them to help investigate, but the Copper Hammer brothers were professional warriors and had never touched the miner's hoe at all, and they only said ambiguously when they looked at the crack for a long time: "Judging from the reserves of white crystals, there should be a lot of red crystals." ”
If there were a lot of red crystals, there would be no need for a stove and cotton clothes, Unas felt the warm crystal in his hand, this little heat was certainly not enough to change the environment, but the mage of the blood elves could use the circle to increase its heat release, which had been proven from Pereira.
Captain Ranger is more excited than anyone else, this is about the fate of her people, the fire element is a very pure energy, it will definitely satisfy the blood elves who are suffering from demon addiction.
"Master Unas, I'm going back to find a few dwarven miner masters." Pereira was eager to return to the stronghold and bring the dwarves to the mines, but she knew that everything had to be agreed by the garrison in front of her.
Unas nodded and let her go, but she was a little conflicted in her heart, the mushroom farm had just started, and it would take a lot of manpower to open the mine again, and it was not far from the red stone tablet, and too frequent personnel activities could also cause spiders to attack, but looking at the eager appearance of the blood elf, it was not good to splash her cold water immediately.
The matter of the spider eggs was insignificant compared to this, and Unas did not bother with Hex anymore and left it to him to deal with it.
The troll immediately collected all the eggs together, and began to dance around them, which is said to be a spell to delay the time for spiders to break their eggs, it seems that he is determined to wait for the food to be loose before raising these spiders, Unas thought about it, and it is not bad to have a spider pet for everyone in the future, and it is good to treat spiders with spiders.
Pereira came back quickly, and in addition to Stone Eyebrow and a few dwarven gnomes, the high-ranking mage of the blood elves, Arenas Fireleaf, also came, he was a fire mage, and as soon as he entered the cave, it meant that the fire element here was very strong.
The dwarves pounded and pounded in the hole, and used ropes to hang the smaller gnomes into the cracks to investigate, and finally came to the conclusion that the stone was very hard and the reserves were amazing.
Several people discussed a little and reached a consensus, of course, the excavation of mushroom farms is still in the first place, after all, the stomach problem is the most important, and the mining of crystal mines cannot be left behind, but at present, they can only select thin absenteeism to dig through the cracks, and then gradually transfer people to expand the cracks, or re-burrow from the ground, and then discuss at that time.
It just so happens that the gnomes don't need to design any stoves, they can all be pulled over to be miners, I don't know what the chief technician's expression will be when he hears the news, this matter is urgent, Unas immediately asked Shi Mei to go back to transfer people.
As for the elemental crystals mined in advance, Unas decided to give them all to the blood elves, after all, they are the ones who need these energies the most, and at the same time, the insulation of the mushroom farm and the wintering of the people in the stronghold will also be left to them to solve.
The Garrison's decision made Pereira and Fire Leaf grateful, and they both pledged their loyalty and vowed to complete the task assigned to them.
After the matter was explained, Unas was still worried about the whereabouts of the third spider, and left the affairs of the cave to Pereira, and beckoned the rest of the elite team to hit the road again.
The troll packed eight spider eggs on his back and led the team slowly, turning around and finally taking everyone out of the canyon.
Unas hurriedly shouted to stop, "This spider ran out of the valley?" ”
"I'm following its path, and I guess that's right," Hex explains, "and occasionally spiders leave their habitat, and I haven't figured out why." ”
Unas shrugged his shoulders, running away from home was not a unique human behavior, if only there were more such wayward spiders in the canyon, "Go, keep chasing, try to get a sample for you to study." ”
The team continued to move southwest, and walked straight for an hour before coming to a stop in front of a remote forest of diseased trees, which were plague-contaminated forests, and large areas of the Tirisfal Woodland had been plagued by natural plagues, and even the plants had suffered, and the mild ones were only gray-green in color, and the severe ones were called diseased forests.
There was no sign of life in the woodland in front of him, black spots covered with bare branches, withered yellow broken leaves covered the ground, and there was no trace of living creatures walking on it.
"Are you sure it got into the woods?" Unas asked.
The troll dismounted and leaned on the ground for a moment to observe, then nodded firmly.
Being frightened away by a forest of sick trees would undoubtedly be a laughing stock, but Unas felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he activated the white stone hanging on his chest - this was assigned by Silver Dawn after he was appointed as a garrison, and the golden light shield spread from his chest to a radius of thirty meters, "Everyone don't run out of the barrier, there may be undead in the forest." ”
Before the words fell, a little red light suddenly lit up in the thumbnail of the undead, and at the same time, the thick broken leaves on the ground of the sick wood began to be lifted open, and undead creatures such as zombies and ghouls stood up from under the leaves.
A rough estimate of the number of dense crowds in the thumbnail is at least more than a hundred, and it is still increasing, and an old voice came from the forest, "Go back, this is not the place for you to come!" ”
The Banier Outpost, the front line of the Abbey, is still a long way away, and the Sick Wood Forest is still in the sphere of human influence, and an army of the undead has been infiltrated.
"Is this the place you should be?" Unas gestured as he slapped his mouth cannon and prepared the rocket, "You should go back, go to hell, fire the arrows!" ”
The arrows were easily ignited by special rockets inlaid with saltpeter, and with a whoosh, red meteors were thrown into the woods, and Unas also fired two flames in a row to slash away four or five undead who were rushing towards them, and almost all of the elite squads were marksmen, and the undead who were desperately rushing forward turned into fireballs rolling to the ground one after another.
Three rounds of rocket fire, not a single undead could rush to the brass hammer brothers standing at the front with their shields raised, thick smoke billowed out, dead branches and leaves were ignited everywhere, and it seemed that it was about to turn into a fire that burned all the undead hiding in the forest to ashes.
At this moment, a dark blue curtain of light suddenly gathered in the sky of the woods, and the next moment raindrops mixed with ice chips poured down, and the spreading fire was immediately extinguished in many places.
"Hex, dispel it!" Unas immediately shouted a loud order, this is obviously a secondary version of the ice spell Blizzard, and he can only rely on the priest's dispel technique to counter the opponent.
The Troll Priest released three golden circles of light in a row and flew into the blue light cluster in the air, as a result, the golden light dispersed at the touch of a button, the blue light was still strong, and Hex couldn't shake the enemy's spell at all.
Unas scolded secretly, the other party's necromancer seems to be difficult to deal with, there is no mage around, and if you meet a mage, you have to be deflated, and the mage is so unreasonable.
The fire was quickly extinguished, and the undead began to assemble again, and Unas estimated the number of enemies, and unless he could set the woods on fire again, the victory would be a pyrrhic victory.
"Retreat first!" He turned the horse's head and slammed the horse's belly, and this time he had to let them go.
