Chapter 211: Dwarven Graveyard
Xige, who had run a healing technique, suddenly felt that the pain in his body had been reduced a lot, and Dacomar also gradually woke up under the effect of Blue Fairy's potion, but the trauma all over his body made him unable to walk independently.
Benjamin asked as he walked, "Da Kemal, how far is the exit from here, and where is it?" ”
Dacomar shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Everyone was surprised, and Benjamin then asked, "You don't know any other exit, but you brought us in, this tunnel can't be reached, if there is no exit, do you want us to be trapped here?" ”
Da Kemar said with difficulty: "At that time, only this place could temporarily avoid the clutches of Auguston. This passage was originally a back road left by His Majesty for himself, who knows, digging and digging, it was connected to the pit dug by the dwarves, the hesitation pit is too big, and we haven't had time to complete the exploration, and this kind of thing happened! Since it's a mine, I don't think it's too hard to find an exit! ”
"Dwarven Pits?" Pantony asked suspiciously, "What mine?" ”
Dacomar shook his head and said, "I don't know, this should be stolen by the nearby dwarven tribe, and now it is abandoned, and we have not found any valuable mineral deposits!" ”
"Don't worry about whether there is an exit or not!" Lan Xian'er said, "There is no way back now, no matter whether there is an exit in front of us, we have to try to move forward!" Pantony, you lead the way! ”
Pantony replied, "Yes, ma'am! ”
Higg, Daniel, Nicole, and Pantony all have experience traversing the neon abyss, and they simply don't pay attention to this kind of pediatric underground secret passage. It's just that Benjamin and Noah feel very depressed in their hearts, this underground secret passage without any light is a huge cage for them, and losing the light is equivalent to losing freedom.
Lan Xian'er, who was holding Noah's hand, obviously felt that Noah's spirit was extremely strong, her palms were full of sweat, and she was trembling all over.
Nicole followed behind Pantoni and turned the fireball in her hand brighter.
There are exits and entrances to the mines, and Higg has never worried about this, and with Pantony, a tunnel expert, leading the way, he just needs to be mentally prepared to deal with emergencies.
This secret passage is indeed very long, and after walking for more than an hour, there is still no end, and there is no end to it, and there is no dwarf pit tunnel that Da Kemal said.
"Attention!" Pantony exclaimed, "There's a big oddity here! ”
Higg walked up to Pantony and asked, "What's weird?" ”
"There's a pit passage ahead!" "But in addition to the pits, I also smell the lava underground!" ”
"Underground lava?" Everyone exclaimed.
Pantony nodded and said, "Can't be wrong! With my years of experience in drilling and prospecting, coupled with my experience with the Neon Abyss, this secret passage leads not only to the pit, but also to the endless lava abyss! ”
Everyone took a deep breath, there were many unknown dangers in the underground lava, and they knew this in the neon abyss.
In the blink of an eye, the underground passage entered a pit hall, and everyone immediately smelled a strong smell of lava, which was mixed with too much sulfur, making everyone cough at first, and almost vomit.
"There is no wind, the air does not flow, it means that this tunnel is not on the main road, or it is far from the entrance!" Pantony said.
"In what direction should we go?" Higg asked.
"It's a pit, but I'm sure there's no entrance or exit!" "It's hard to say downward, you might find the main tunnel, but you're more likely to encounter underground lava!" ”
Noah was shocked and said, "Underground lava, then don't go!" Let's go up! ”
Lan Xian'er smiled: "What's wrong with our young general? Tiny lava doesn't dare to move forward? ”
Noah said weakly, "The lava is too terrifying, if you stumble, isn't it a corpse without bones?" ”
"Huh!" Higg smiled, "The lava landscape is just a wonder of nature, and having the opportunity to see this wonder of nature is also compensation for our adventure into the secret passage this time!" General Noah, you can break thousands of troops, are you still afraid of a small natural landform? ”
……
Not far ahead, Pantony suddenly lunged forward like a madman.
"Be on guard!" Higg shouted.
Everyone rushed forward, only to see that in another pit hall, the ground was full of skeletons, and the skeletons were very short, but it was obvious that they were not the skeletons of underage people, but the dwarves who had been dead for an unknown number of years.
Pantony angrily ripped open the loose soil beneath his feet, and more and more skeletons were exposed to the ground.
"Pantony!" Higg stepped forward to stop the mad Pantony.
Grief-stricken, Pantony turned around, stepped forward and grabbed Dacomar's chest tightly, and asked angrily, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”
Da Kemal said with a blank face: "If I say I don't know, you won't believe it either!" But actually, we don't really explore downwards, we are all looking upwards for exits. Originally, His Majesty's idea was that if he couldn't find an exit, he would open a new one, but who would have thought that before His Majesty could do so, we would be forced to come here! ”
Judging from the dwarven skeletons and dwarven relics, the hundreds of dwarven miners here have been dead for at least forty or fifty years, but the cause of death is difficult to say.
Although the passage above is gone, as long as it is not crushed to death on the spot, it is very easy for these dwarven miners to break through a passage again, and it is obviously impossible for the dwarven miners to be trapped by the entrance of the collapse above.
The signs of the fight were also not very noticeable, most of the miners did not have broken bones or missing arms or legs, and it was clear that there were no large-scale attacks by the enemy.
The grief-stricken Pantony slowly dug through the ground with his axe, and before long, a huge pit was dug by him, and Pantony did not say anything, one skeleton after another looked into the pit to carry and place, including their relics, scattered a large number of gold coins, wine jars, etc.
Pan Tony would never allow anyone to help, and finally slowly filled in the huge pit where hundreds of dwarven remains were placed, and it took more than two hours to complete this series of things, and then Pan Tony opened the wine jar and silently poured it on the dwarven cemetery.
Almost no one bothered Pantony, and no one said anything, and although the strangeness of the scene and Pantony's abnormal behavior were surprising, this true dwarven warrior must have his own reasons for doing so.
"This is my people!" Pantony opened another jar next to the dwarven graveyard, took a sip, and said.
Everyone is not very surprised, the dwarf tribes are all over the forest empire, each tribe basically has the characteristics of each tribe, and generally only the dwarves themselves can identify which dwarves are from their own tribe and which are not!
"What kind of mine is this mine excavating?" Higg asked.
Pantony shook his head and said, "I didn't find any traces of mining here, and if there were, there must still be remnants of the place where they used to hide mines, but I didn't find anything!" ”
"No mineral deposits, but you've been digging here for so long?" Lan Xian'er asked.
"I don't know what happened to the family decades ago. At that time, I was still young, just in my early 100s, but all branches of the family had received secret missions, and as for what the mission was, I was not qualified to know. At that time, I also went overseas with my family branch to carry out some secret mission, dozens of ships went to sea, I don't know how many came back, anyway, I was trapped on a desert island for thirty years, until Higg, Daniel and Nicole appeared, I returned to the mainland! ”
Benjamin suddenly said in surprise: "The Desi tribe? I remember, Pantony, you're the dwarf of the Desi family! ”
"What's the matter, Your Highness?" Pantony was also surprised and asked, "What do you know?" What happened to our family back then? ”
Benjamin shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened to your family back then, but there is one person who does!" ”
"Who is it?" Pantony stood up and asked loudly.
Benjamin said, "My sister, Higg's mother, Princess Jenny! ”
Everyone was shocked that it was Princess Jenny who had caused the tragic death of Pantony's dwarven family here, and almost everyone looked at Higg with surprised eyes at the same time.
Higg was also very puzzled and said, "Uncle, make it clear! ”
Benjamin said slowly: "The territory of the Desi Dwarven tribe is in my fiefdom and is under my jurisdiction!" Although there are many dwarven tribes in my fiefdom, the Dexi tribe is the most powerful and populous tribe. Decades ago, Jenny approached me and asked me to find him a reliable and powerful dwarven tribe in her fiefdom, but she didn't tell me what she was going to do. Jenny and I are the same age, we grew up together, and we have a good relationship, so of course I fully support this little thing, so I asked Vosidov, the chief of the German tribe, to meet with Jenny! In this way, Jenny got into contact with the tribal chieftain Vosidorf, and I never inquired about anything to negotiate between them! ”
Higg and Blue Fairy suddenly understood something, since this matter was related to Jenny and was so secretive, then it was very likely to be related to the Valley of Flowers.
Benjamin continued: "I don't know what agreement Jenny made with Chief Vosidorf, but since then the various branches of the German tribe have behaved strangely and inexplicably, as Pantony said. Later, after Jenny's death, the various abnormal behaviors of the Desi dwarf tribe gradually subsided! ”
Pantony sat back in front of the cemetery and said slowly: "It seems that only when you find the exit, go out, return to the Dexi tribe, and find the chieftain, can you know what happened back then!" ”
