While the two dwarven legions were fighting fiercely, Tianwen's team was sneaking along the path into the middle and upper mountains of Cold Mountain.

The dwarves of the Kingdom of Lorraine have repeatedly dug through the mountain during years of excavation. Although most of it has been filled, it has left a hidden and sturdy passageway.

Xiao Yan is now walking one of them.

Leading their way is Thorn, the Mithril dwarf, a rock-solid dwarven warrior and the prince of Mithril. In addition, there are three of his companions, Locke, Egger, and Flint. The necromancer Pepano, who wrapped himself in a cloak and a dark shadow, also followed them.

"Here we are, Master Griffith." Thorn and his friends moved away from a large rock and activated the mechanism inside, revealing a deep, cold tunnel.

"Where does this lead?" Xiao Yan glanced at the two sides at the foot of the mountain who were fighting fiercely, and then looked at the tunnel in front of him.

"The autumn leaves hall of the central mountain of Cold Mountain." Thorn led the way inside, "Further up the Frost Hall there's likely a dragon entrenched, and we can't go straight in from there. ”

The faces of the four dwarves showed excitement and excitement as they walked in with joy.

"Cold Mountain was once the capital of the Seven Dwarven Tribes, and in addition to the Golden Clans of the Lorraine royal family, we often come here to exchange skills and trade; Since the dragon took over the mountain, we haven't been back here for almost half a year. Locke the dwarf took the lead, raising his iron shield and battle axe.

"Be careful." Galadia followed closely behind the dwarf, "The dragon may be aware of my active detection with psionic energy, so I can only use passive perception to warn. In the time since you leave the Cold Mountain, some evil creatures may lurk within. I don't want to be ambushed. ”

"Yes, beautiful young lady. The throne of His Majesty Otto, King of Lorraine, Prince Thor's father, is in the Autumn Leaves Hall, far from the noisy, hot halls of midsummer, suitable for storing treasures and receiving foreign guests. Thorn walked side by side with Galadia in musket in hand, "The treasure house of the King of the Cold Mountain is behind the throne. ”

Xiao Yan nodded to Pepeno who was following them. The skeleton mage chanted an indescribable incantation, and a mist enveloped the members of the Celestial Question and the dwarves.

"Don't attack and don't get too close to other creatures." "This fog will protect us from the detection of our senses," said Pepeno in a dry voice. ”

It is the same skill as the Scipio team in the previous world when they raided Tianwen, and it would be difficult to detect Xiao Yan's existence if it wasn't for active detection.

The group sneaked through tunnels and entrances and walked towards the depths of the mountain. Along the way, they saw a large number of goblin squads, occupying the outer mountains in the middle, patrolling back and forth along the tunnels in groups of a dozen people.

"There are so many of them that we can't get around them without fighting." Valkyrie observed the patrol's route, "If you want me to say, fight, their combat strength is not enough to stop us. ”

"But if they run away, they risk alarming more of their kind, or even causing even more commotion to wake up the dragons." Sonia thought for a moment, "If we are going to fight, we must quickly annihilate them in a short period of time, otherwise we must avoid fighting as much as possible. ”

Prince Thorn thought for a moment, and then led everyone to take another path.

"Before the dragons took over our homeland, an alien race had already taken over part of Cold Mountain." Thorn hid behind a corner, carefully observing what was ahead, "This race is called the Stonejaws, and there are fewer of them than the Goblins, and they are creatures that live on rock and metal. ”

"Although King Otto sent many troops to annihilate them, the lair of the Stonejaws is densely packed in the cold mountains, and it is difficult to destroy them all." Thorn pointed ahead, "You see, that's the Stonejaws, their hind hooves are curved, their backs are rickety, they resemble rats, and the more precious the minerals, the more to their liking. Also, be careful, they also eat meat. ”

"Huh? Are you saying that the Stonejaws existed during the period when the Kingdom of Lorraine occupied Cold Mountain? Galadia thought for a moment and felt that it was wrong, "The dwarves are also good at tunnel warfare and are well-equipped, how could they not be exterminated?" ”

"There are three reasons." "One is because the Stonejaws have a wide range of diets, from mushrooms to meat to ores, and are extremely fertile and ready to fight. ”

"Sounds like a cockroach." Sonia cautiously poked her head out and glanced at the strange creatures not far away, "But numbers alone can't compete with the dwarves' sharp blades and heavy armor." ”

"That's right, the second reason comes from the racial nature of the Stonejaws. Look at that guy. ”

Everyone ducked their heads out behind the wall in the corner, and looked together in the direction Thorn had indicated, like a nest of marmots on the prairie. Not far from the team, two stone-jawed monsters are digging ore from the rock wall with their hoes and pickaxes, making a clanging sound. Soon, one of the stonejaws dug up a piece of glittering ore, threw it into its mouth and chewed it like it was eating jelly beans.

"Their attacks have a chance to pierce armor, even with a mine shovel pickaxe." Thorn said slowly, "The most troublesome thing is their strong upper and lower jaws, which can actually cause real damage when biting!" ”

"True damage?"

"That's right, an extremely rare magical effect. Immunity to all defenses deals damage directly. Thorn said solemnly, "Even the world's famous heroes can't last long in the face of the tide of attacks from the stonejaws, and in the end, they can only rely on the flesh and blood of the infantry guys to confront them head-on." ”

The team members of Tianwen looked curiously at the stone-jawed monster in the distance, and found that the individual was indeed not strong, but the special effects were amazing.

"Stonejaw Miner. Race: Stonejaw. Attributes: Strength 22, Agility 17, Stamina 10, Perception 5, Intelligence 5, Spirit 3, Charisma 1.

Special Skill 1: True Damage. Stonejaw's bite deals 50 true damage, ignoring physical and magical defenses and has a cooldown of 15 seconds.

Special Skill 2: Armor Piercing. Attacks have a 25% chance to weaken the enemy's armor by 7 for 15 minutes. ”

Although there are only these two special skills, the base health of the contractor with 50 physical strength is only 500 points without considering the bonus, and he can only resist 10 bites of the stonejaw monster at most, and he will die on the spot.

"There's a third reason for that." Thorn continued, "Cold Mountain's forces have been reaching deep into the lower subterranean realm, and are at regular war with goblins and goblins who live underground, and the Stonejaws only occupy the outer tunnels above, so they can be safe with each other if they are not disturbed. It is said that King Otto dug something incredible into the ground that could make the dwarves incomparably powerful and prosperous. We don't know exactly what it is...... Therefore, the royal family of Lorraine did not invest too many troops here. ”
