Crunch...... Crunch......

The rusty chains drove the pulleys with a tooth-aching sound, dragging a huge iron cage down the shaft. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Roland and his companions stood in an iron cage and looked around through the fence, seeing only mossy cliffs and darkening darkness.

The humid air was depressing, and everyone was silent and clenched their weapons.

The silence lasted for a long time, until it was broken by a sudden scream.

Roland raised his head suddenly, and the sound of breaking wind hit him head-on, and the sky was faintly full of cold stars in the dimness, but it was a cluster of sharp arrows.

Roland raised his shield and cooperated with Brumger to block the rain of arrows and protect his companions behind him.

A green halo appeared on Nikita's body, which was the second-ring arcane "protective arrow" blessed in advance.

Veronica read the words, and the scroll in her hand turned to ashes, and the magic power was released, and she was blessed with a "protective arrow" enchantment.

Lyudmila stood between the two female companions, her bare hands and her face did not change. Occasionally, with a flick of his hand, the pair of "Seeing Cutting Gloves" snatched from the arachnid elf flickered slightly, and then opened the oncoming arrows.

The first wave of arrows came and went quickly, and then there was no movement.

There was an eerie atmosphere brewing in the darkness.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, Roland had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, put away his shield and stretched out his hands, and slapped Veronica and Nikita, who lacked armor protection, with a "protection against evil" respectively, raising two levels of defense in case of accidents.

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion overhead, and as the fire flickered, Roland saw the pulley controlling the elevator shatter on its own, and the out-of-control iron cage suddenly accelerated and fell, and the fence rubbed against the cliff to create a string of sparks.

Bloom was shocked: "Those bastards blew up the pulley, and we're all going to have to be meatloaf if we fall straight down like this!" ”

"Nikita, Featherfall!" Roland snapped, swung his sword to split through the iron fence, and jumped out.

The witch in red snapped her fingers in her heart, and a circle of golden light suddenly erupted around her body, enveloping her teammates, including Roland.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

Blessed by magic, a ball of flying feathers burst out from under everyone's feet, and the descent slowed down suddenly, falling lightly.

The hunters in the darkness below seemed to sense the failure of the plan, and suddenly there was a loud roar. Taking this as a signal, a rain of arrows mixed with whistling spears slashed at the head and face, and Nikita and Veronica, who were relatively weak in defense, were a little overwhelmed even if they had magic shields.

Roland adjusted his slow-falling stance in the air and turned his head to gesture to Nikita.

"Give me the light!"

"No problem!" Nikita quickly chanted the incantation, snapped her fingers, and an orange ball of light flew out, attaching itself to Roland's shield.

The magic light source created by the Zero Ring Trick "Dancing Light Technique" has almost no heat and is very weak, but for the stone-blind barbarians who have lived in the dark world for generations and are extremely sensitive to light, its presence is tantamount to the scorching midday sun.

It was completely pitch black below the shaft, and another long howl rang out, turning the door high and low, apparently containing some kind of message that only the stone-blind barbarians could understand.

There was silence below, and the rain of arrows struck again. As Roland expected, this time the archers of the stoneblind barbarians followed the instructions conveyed by the long roar, concentrated their fire on him, arrows and javelins continued to hit the shield, gold and iron resonated endlessly, and sparks burst out one after another.

Roland held the +2 heavy steel shield steadily, the muscles of his arms almost broke the sleeves, and his tall and sturdy body seemed to be made of steel as the skeleton and bronze as flesh and blood, and he stood still in the face of the baptism of arrows, and only one person constituted an impregnable line of defense.

The stone-blind barbarians are not intelligent, and their long-standing hunting habits have led them to develop a conservative tactic: always prioritizing the light source that the intruder carries with them whenever and wherever they are, because they know very well how much panic and chaos the sheer darkness can cause to the surface creatures accustomed to living in the light.

Roland took advantage of the stereotyped thinking of the stone-blind barbarians to come forward, and with the cooperation of dancing light techniques, he was willing to be a target to attract the opponent's arrows, so as to share the pressure of his companions.

He didn't dare to do this by his own courage alone, in fact no one in the team could match his defenses, and it was not difficult to conclude from a simple calculation that the arrows and javelins fired by the stoneblind barbarians had only a 1 in 20 chance of injuring him.

If that's not enough insurance, then add a "divine healing" to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Bang! The weightless iron cage fell to the ground with a bang and fell to pieces.

Immediately after, Roland's feet landed steadily, his shoulders shook, and the cluster of obsidian arrows pierced into his body was squeezed out of the wound by the tense muscles, and fell to the ground with a clang. The divine light soothed the young man's granite-strong body, and the flesh wounds healed in an instant, leaving not even a single scar, and the skin was as smooth as satin.

Behind him, Nikita and the rest of her companions also landed safely and undangered under the protection of the Feather Fall Technique.

Bloom quickly ran to Roland's side and erected a large shield, joining forces with him to form a line of defense against the oncoming arrows.

The temporary shelter of the people was a small platform halfway up the mountain, opposite a platform with similar terrain, the two platforms were located on a cliff facing each other, about ten feet apart, and below was a bottomless abyss, which was only connected by a simple rope bridge.

There is a stone watchtower on the opposite platform, facing the rope bridge in front and the cave at the back, and there is a vague figure standing on the top of the building, which seems to be sentry.

Sensing that the intruder had landed safely, the sentry blew the whistle with all his might, and the gate of the watchtower opened, and a stone-blind barbarian hurried out, carrying a huge pair of scissors in his hand, and rushed straight to the rope bridge.

With the dwarven innate dark vision, Bloom immediately saw the man's sinister intentions, and how could he allow him to destroy the rope bridge and throw the hammer in a rage.

Roland also flipped the Yanlong pistol, and ran out of magazines in one go. The bullet flew ten kilometers away from accuracy, and only one of the six bullets hit the target and was not critical, but fortunately, Bloom's flying hammer did not drop the chain at the critical moment and smashed directly into the opponent's face.

Burst! The stone-blind barbarian sentry had a peach blossom on his face, screaming and falling on his back, and the scissors flew out of his hands and into the abyss.

Bloom didn't care about recalling the flying hammer, turned around and yelled anxiously: "What are you rubbing, hurry up and rush over with me!" As he spoke, he strode towards the rope bridge.

Lyudmila was performing a natural magic, her hands crossed on her chest, her eyelashes lowered in prayer.

"The blessing of the Great Mother Nature to keep your daughter's feet on the earth unimpeded!"

A cloud of emerald green light envelops the Ranger and gives her a ring of Nature Magic "Down-to-Earth", which grants +10 environmental modifiers for acrobatic checks such as balance, climbing, jumping, and rolling, and does not lose agility bonuses while maintaining balance.

When she was ready, Lyudmila put away her bow and arrows, drew her twin knives, and strode onto the rope bridge.
