"Thank you Warriors for saving your life!"

"Thank you, thank you......"

"You're welcome,"

Lu Kuan picked up the three of them in turn, looked at the corpse of the dwarf in the ground next to him, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that I couldn't save your companions." ”

Speaking of this, the underground gnome's eyes turned red, and then he shook his head: "It's not your fault, warrior. ”

Lu Kuan looked at the appearance of the three of them, his heart moved, and said, "There are other patrols of Flame Walkers around, first place your companions, and then we will talk in detail." ”

The three of them naturally had no opinion, and the zebra camelized the bodies of the two underground gnomes, and several people returned to the previous place, burying the dead underground gnomes on the spot, and after a simple memorial, the underground gnomes led the way and rushed to a nearby shelter as fast as possible.

……

Whether it is the Vine Spirit Realm or the Continent of the Gods, in the vast underground world, in addition to the original passages, there are countless tunnels and spaces dug out by the underground residents, the two intersect in one place, which is so complicated that it makes people desperate, if you come to the underground world from the surface for the first time, it is normal to be dizzy for a few weeks.

Underground gnomes are one of the best at this, and they do what they do best by digging tunnels in all directions, and then hiding the truly useful entrances and exits in the most overlooked visual corners.

At this time, somewhere in a natural cave.

"That's it,"

An underground dwarf tilted his head, pointed to the rock wall more than ten meters above his head, and said firmly: "There is a mechanism there, hang that iron hook to open the iron door of the entrance, and the soft ladder will fall......"

As he spoke, another underground dwarf took out a ball of rope tied with a hook from his backpack, first asked Lu Kuan and the others to get out of the way, and then rounded the hook and rope and put it on hard.

Failed.

Throw it again, and miss it again.

The underground gnome stomped his feet in annoyance, scratched his head, and said, "This work was originally done by Muraman, and now that he has gone to meet Lord Moradin, where can I throw ......?"

The other two underground gnomes, you look at me, I look at you, and at the same time set their eyes on Lu Kuan, Lu Kuan smiled when he saw this, took out a special feather arrow with a hook from his backpack, and then borrowed Dimi's dark vision, and shot an arrow with a little aim.

"Whoa......

The slender feather arrow passed through the middle of the iron hook and got stuck inside, and then Lu Kuan pulled it with one hand, and with a metallic sound of "bang-la-la", a string of small soft ladders rolled down from the top of the cave.

"Good swordsmanship!" The underground gnomes couldn't help but admire.

Lu Kuan stretched out his hand and dragged it, it was quite strong, several people climbed up in turn, Lu Kuan was the last one, put away the soft ladder and closed the iron door, at this time, the underground dwarfs had already lit the fire candles in the cave.

This is a gourd-shaped cave, belonging to semi-natural, semi-artificial excavation, with a radius of more than 30 meters, quite wide, the tables, chairs and benches are complete inside, and there is a spare oil for lighting, because the entrance is directly above the cave, and the concealment is very strong.

"This is the furthest refuge from the Great Cave, so it should be safe." One of the underground gnomes breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Kuan nodded, casually dragged a chair and sat down, and found that there were still some spare weapons hanging on the surrounding walls, all polished and shiny, reflecting oil in the firelight, which was smeared with a layer of oil on the surface to prevent metal oxidation.

It can be seen that the underground gnomes must have sent people to maintain them regularly.

"Adventurer, how did you get here? I haven't seen anyone from the Continent of the Gods in a hundred years. One of the underground gnomes asked eagerly.

"I'm here to find the Blazewalker......"

Lu Kuan briefly explained the process of his coming, and the underground gnomes suddenly understood.

The man who spoke first immediately said eagerly, "Then do you have a way to go back?" ”

Lu Kuan said strangely: "Listen to what you mean, do you want to go back to the Continent of the Gods?" I'm curious to ask, why did you come here in the first place, and does it have anything to do with the Blazewalkers? ”

Speaking of this, the three people on the other side all sighed, and their faces regretted it.

When the underground dwarf race disappeared, it was indeed because they encountered a green dragon who called himself Monscazar, an astral traveler.

Monscazar asks the Underground Gnomes to make a special piece of mechanical armor for it, and in return, the Green Dragon will pay the Underground Gnomes a large amount of jeweled gold, and promise to take them to an unexplored primordial realm where they can find the remains of an ancient mechanical civilization.

The green dragon is huge, and this armor is very special, the protective function is secondary, the main function is to provide ample power for the green dragon, because Monscazar's left wing and hind legs are seriously injured, and if you don't use magic, you can't fly.

This armor can't be completed overnight, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to make a difference in a few hundred years, but the promised reward is too rich for the leaders of the underground gnomes to refuse.

Therefore, the three underground dwarf tribes at that time decisively took over the business, and moved into the deserted mountains, which is hundreds of years, but fortunately, the life span of the underground dwarf is no less than that of the dwarves, and it is acceptable to spend this time.

During this period, the Green Dragon brought all three races to the Vine Spirit Realm, showing the underground gnomes the mechanical city hidden underground, making everyone extremely excited, working and studying this huge ancient city.

Green dragons usually come over every few years to check on the progress of the armor and pay the underground gnomes according to the contract, but the last time this Monscazar visited the ruins was ten years ago.

And over time, the underground gnomes realized that something was not quite right.

"According to my father, when we first arrived here, Lord Monscazar enveloped the whole city with magic, and when you look up, you can see the green magic shield,"

"But for as long as I can remember," recalled, "the magic shield has been a pale green, almost invisible pale green, and according to my father, even the patriarchs don't know who it was used against or why it was getting weaker and weaker. ”

It wasn't until two months ago, when the Flamewalkers stormed the ruins and slaughtered, that the underground gnomes finally sensed the apocalypse, and the magic shield had disappeared without a trace.

Even when the underground gnomes were slaughtered and the survivors fled in all directions, begging the Green Dragon to save them, it did not appear.

"Because Lord Monscazar has never let us leave the protective shield, the clan doesn't know what's going on outside, and after so many years, there are no guards in the clan for a long time, so when the Flamewalkers rushed in, we suffered heavy casualties,"

The voice of the underground dwarf was a little low: "There are more than 3,000 people in the three tribes, almost all of them have been killed, and only a few of us have escaped, and now ...... It's just the three of us. ”

Lu Kuan listened carefully, feeling sorry for the underground gnomes, but also a little excited.

This is a new plot point, the ruins of the ancient mechanical city? It's so exciting!
