between the millennia

Wind Blade Mine, Day 15.

The sound of tinkling is endless, the dwarves take turns digging in a mine, and when they are tired, they will rest on the side, try to maintain their physical strength to avoid increasing the demand for food, and Brother Tiger's hands unconsciously glow with the same yellow as others during the digging process, not the yellow of ordinary skin, but the withered yellow similar to autumn leaves, according to Oris, this should be caused by the special underground environment. Brother Tiger estimated that it may be the sequelae of long-term exposure to sunlight, and at the same time he also felt an unconscious pain in his spine, underground, a large part of the mine was dug according to the size of the dwarf, and the hole dug was too large and there was a threat of collapse, so his neck had slowly raised forward unconsciously. It's not a good habit.

"How is it" Brother Tiger wiped the sweat from his neck. Ask Oris, who had just sat down on the floor to rest, "How long do we have left?" ”

Orise gave him a blank look: "The fastest and fastest will take three days." ”

Brother Tiger frowned: "Didn't you say before that you had already dug to the last step?" ”

Orise picked up the ore from the ground and brushed away the fine rubble. Revealing the black coal-colored rock and soil underground: "Do you see it?" It's a layer of crushed sand, and above us is a lake. Therefore, we can only dig up slowly, and we can't adjust the angle for a short time, once the lake is backfilled, one counts as one, and we all have to die. ”

Brother Hu wiped his neck with the placket of his coat and thought for a moment: "How much food do we have?" ”

"The corpses have begun to stink, and we may have to choose the old and weak tonight." When she said this, Olis was as bland as a housewife talking about the price of today's food.

"It can't be delayed." Brother Tiger gritted his teeth: "If you go up, you may encounter Nuoyinya's army, at this time, slaughtering your own people is tantamount to drinking to quench your thirst, notify them." Gather all the population, let's dig vertically, if God didn't give us a chance to live, we shouldn't have survived the riots a few days ago. ”

Aurise nodded. There was a different look in his eyes.

Half an hour later, all the people in the cave were summoned together.

Everyone drank the little fresh water left, and chewed the faintly rotting and smelly corpse with nausea. After pointing in one direction, dig upwards at an angle of almost 60 degrees, and it takes about a stick of incense.

A string of material, as if it were a sound, filled every corner of the mine with sunlight ---- every corner.

Brother Tiger was so excited that he shed tears, isolated from the world, to return to the world, is that it?

The people present cheered and cried with joy, and Orise was stunned and said to herself: "This is ......"

He laughed and bit his wrist. So much so that blood flowed from his arms. Haha, like crazy, for this moment, she waited too long.

"There is no Noyinya army!" The people on the outside continue to deliver the good news that is uplifting.

Brother Tiger and Olis were at the back of the palace, waiting for them to go out. Suddenly, I heard a scream: "Everyone...... Yes............!!! The screaming and screaming continued.

There is a case!

Orisi took out Brother Tiger's one-handed blade, and the two of them slowly freed up their positions under the cover of the soldiers around them.

There is a strange cry similar to a baby's cry.

As soon as Brother Tiger showed his head, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and a fat and pale head was condescending towards him!

"Boom......" A white slurry landed on Brother Tiger's head, and the fishy smell almost made him retch.

At the critical moment, Orise raised the blade above his head, killing the attacker of unknown origin.

Blood stain worms.

The red and white stripes all over the body look like a disgusting caterpillar magnified countless times, but there is a layer of sharp backspines towering on the outside, and the white head actually has the feeling of a few different people. The ears, nose, mouth and eyes are all available, but they are indescribably twisted and weird. Brother Tiger only felt that the slurry sprinkled on his body had an indescribable fishy smell. I don't even want to open my mouth.

"Don't wait" Orisi waved her hand to cut off the neck of the strange insect, letting the slime disperse, she looked back at the retching tiger brother, her face was expressionless: "This is war, the enemy will not wait for you to take a shower, polish your armor, maintain your weapons, and then arrange the formation, a second of delay, it costs human lives." "Join the battlefield with a roar.

Brother Tiger was stunned for a second, as if he saw someone's shadow on her, vague and familiar.

Who are you up against? Who is being torn apart behind your back? The blood smears the land, and you die for victory!

I...... Immortal! Brother Tiger shouted wildly in his heart, he has already experienced hell, how can he die in such a place!

Monsters are stupid by nature, relying only on the thirst for flesh and the brute strength of wild beasts, but when faced with iron weapons, the fanged strange mouths still prevail, and they are soon dead and wounded.

Ignoring the smell of dirt, Brother Tiger chose to half-lie on the warm corpse of the strange insect on the spot---- even though they were enemies of life and death five seconds ago.

The snow-white fascial tissue on top of the blood stain caught his attention: "This is ......"

Looking back, he found that Oris, too, had discovered something like him.

A few strands of hair, golden yellow, resembling the color of barley in the middle of summer in the Golden Plains. The snow-white head of the insect looks more and more like a human being, but its face still seems to be frozen in the fear and hideousness of life.

"Do you mean ......?"

"Right"

Brother Tiger and Orisi glanced at each other, and everything was silent.

Obviously, after blowing up the mine, the guards of the Noyinya Alliance were still guarding the entrance of the cave to guard against Brother Hu and his party underground, and some kind of change made them all turn into what they were in front of. And after losing his mind, he attacked Brother Tiger and the others like crazy.

"I really miss it" Oris's eyes looked at a dead tree outside the mine where more than a dozen people hugged together: "When I came, this tree could already accommodate at least twenty people gathering in the shade, but I didn't expect ......"

Brother Hu Zhengse said: "Yan Jinghuai, legend has it that this tree will not die for a thousand years, it will not fall down for a thousand years after death, and it will not rot for a thousand years after it falls...... So, I think it's necessary for us to confirm one thing. ”

Olis looked at Hariran in front of her in confusion: "What? ”

"Did I travel back in time, or have you survived for a thousand years, or have you come from a thousand years ago?"

As soon as he entered the entrance of the cave, Brother Tiger felt that something was wrong, and Oris, or the dwarves left in the ground, seemed to be a little ...... Too tall.

You must know that even Euro was not much shorter than the tallest beast spirit tower yang back then, and the dwarves were actually not much short at the beginning, and everything started from the dwarves when they were at their most unhuman, and many dwarves were sent into the gladiatorial arena as slaves to fight with all kinds of alien beasts and artificial people. Unlike the elves who are extremely close to the elements of magic, the dwarves are not naturally good at magic, so many Noyinya nobles naturally choose to combine with dwarves with short physique, and after dozens of generations of reproduction, the dwarves are getting shorter and shorter, and the pain nerves are becoming more and more degenerate, which makes this kind of dwarves often ignore the pain in the gladiatorial arena and strangle their opponents with their thick arms.

Even later, after a series of rebellions, freedom movements, and countless bloody suppressions, the Noyinya Alliance finally recognized the status of dwarves as human beings, but this dwarf bloodline took root and expanded among the dwarves, and until Brother Hu's time, almost no dwarves could reach the height of 1.6 meters.

However, after Orisi puffed up her chest in the sun for the first time and stretched her body, Brother Tiger found that she was not much shorter...... Or is this what the real dwarven ancestors looked like thousands of years ago?
