At the same time that Urs became alert, Stone Fist and Thea also opened their eyes, followed by a frown, Dorothy suddenly looked at everyone at a loss, and turned his head to find that Thoros stretched out his front paws to pry open the helmet of Abel's head, and the black cat's head with golden and green eyes poked out of it and looked left and right.

Bellinglith's nerves were indeed a little bigger, and as a team scout, she waited until this moment to wake up with a sudden startle with her saliva, and hurriedly rolled up and got up, but in her panic, she didn't forget to pick up the black technology magic guide gun that she was proud of, and then kicked Koto by the way.

Koto's heart is as big as the dwarves of the highlands. The dwarven warrior's sleep quality had to be said to be very calm, and the comfortable snoring was abruptly interrupted after resisting the dwarf girl's feet, in exchange for his muttering in a low voice.

"Uh-huh...... Well? Well?! He opened his eyelids in a daze, then shivered, reflexively grabbed the tomahawk on the ground and rolled to his feet, watching as if an iron bucket was gurgling up from the ground, and his brass bell-like eyes stared at the person who woke him up, "Who?!" Who's sneaking up...... Huh, little girl? ”

"Shhhh

Bellinglis hurriedly put her index finger to her lips and gave him a look, fearing that His Royal Highness, who was brave enough but too simple, would not be able to control his naturally heroic voice.

Stone Fist slept lightly like the crow, and the practice of the warrior monk allowed him to exercise his perception for a long time. The two wolf ears on the top of Xia's hair also quietly played a role when she was resting, and the extra beast ears made her hearing developed and delicate, so that the half-orc warrior monk and the wolf-eared girl were actually not weak in sensitivity to the movements around them.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps coming from afar was getting closer and closer to everyone's ears, and the characteristics of complex numbers and high-frequency chaos were clearly audible.

The stone fist did not say a word, calmly adjusted his breathing, clenched his fists, and was mentally prepared to deal with emergencies at any time from now on.

Raven Bird rolled his eyes thoughtfully, then brought his left hand behind him and gently pressed the strings of the two lutes, and put the handle of the Flame Scimitar on his right hand, and his dark purple eyes glanced to the side, and saw that Thea's emblem was also in his hand.

"Urs ......"

The wolf-eared girl clenched the spell casting instrument in her hand, and her eyes like amber flashed a little nervous at this moment, and she subconsciously cast her gaze to the object of her admiration.

Urs stood up with his sword in his hand at the first moment of alertness, and his burly figure made him stand beside the girl like a tall statue of a guardian, and the back covered by the shadow scale cloak was slightly distorted visually in this never-light underground world, and his thick and powerful arm suddenly led the right hand holding the sword to twist and slash—

"Whew!" The cross-shaped two-handed greatsword swept over Thea's head, scraping open an air-splitting tearing sound, and the next crashing sound knocked something away.

The thing was snapped in the air by the swing of the blade, and the better-eyed members of the team suddenly saw that it was an arrow!

"Abel, unfold the barrier!" Urs protected Thea from the attack of the Hidden Arrow, and immediately instructed the mechanical mages in his team to reuse the long-range defense they had used in the city of Palomet a few days earlier.

Abel's calmness is absolute in the character of his racial nature. The Mechanic Mage received a timely command from the Captain, and a short-handled metal wand immediately appeared in its hand from its spatial ring.

It raises its wand and releases the "Crowd Protection Ranged Weapon" stored in its wand.

The magical shield then glowed with a pale blue glow, enveloping the entire Thorn Squad in the shape of an inverted hemisphere.

Urs's experience helped him to make an accurate judgment of malice coming from a dark place, and after the dark arrow flying towards Thea was shot down by his sword, the next burst of arrows was unexpected, drawing several parabolic arcs over the pitch-black earth and spilling them all over the dark earth - and then crackled against Abel's unfolded magic cover, and each bounced like a refracted light.

"Oladin above, great dwarven god, I swear that the beasts of the earth will never shoot arrows, no matter how different they are from the beasts of the surface!" Koto clenched the battle axe in his hand, and the fortress shield in his deputy subconsciously wanted to be lifted even through the invisible magic shield, and then immediately reacted to something, "There are people around here!" Despicable people! Someone must be trying to harm us! ”

The "human" in lingua franca does not simply refer to human beings in a specific linguistic context, but can also refer to humanoid intelligent creatures other than humans, or humanoid monsters with intelligence.

Urs had naturally guessed the fact that Koto was able to react immediately, and quickly made a simple elimination method in his mind.

He figured that the more common humanoid sapient creatures in the Dark Regions could be broken with their fingers, such as the Grey Dwarves and many of the Kortao Fish-Man clans who were skilled in the basic shooting skills of crossbows—but the rain of arrows that had just fallen from a distance was clearly a projectile technique.

If the guy who throws arrows with a crossbow is not an idiot, then it is likely that for some reason it is forced to do so.

Young people have at least a basic understanding of how to use various physical weapons. His mind spun fast in this brief moment, if the attacking enemy was not a crossbow, but a bow......

“…… Genie. Urs's eyebrows twitched, and he silently recited the not-so-optimistic answer in his mind.

Many humans on the surface of the earth have long been accustomed to the association and rumors between elves and marksmen, but they do not know that the distant relatives of the marksmen who live deep underground have not lost their traditional skills in the exile journey of history.

Drow.

Elves in the Dark - Trained to be great marksmen!

To be honest, Urs doesn't want the conjecture in his mind to come true, after all, the dark elves may not be the most powerful existence in the dark region, but sometimes they can definitely be said to be the most insidious and cunning villains, and at the same time, they also have the blood of revenge in their bones like the surface elves bathed in the sun, not to mention that the ground under everyone's feet is simply the home of the other party's well-known battle.

The bad premonition stayed in the depths of the young man's mind for two seconds, and the movement just now finally officially appeared in the eyes of everyone in the team after the attack of the rain of arrows was over.

It was on an underground hill to the left of the group—a swarm of black bipedal lizards had risen to the spot, their leather armor and iron armor armouring them into battle-time mounts, and a matching number of dozens of drow knights were straddled in their own saddles.

The knights were dark-skinned, their pale hair showing under their standard helmets, and the red eyes common to the dark elves condescendingly unleashed their natural evil and sharp murderous aura towards the crowd.
