The smasher with the short-handled hammer removed his visor and helmet, revealing a bearded, but still young face.

He looked at Dogan and opened his arms enthusiastically, "You're back, uncle." ”

Dogen also opened his arms and greeted him.

Just as Kyle thought they were going to hug, the two suddenly shook their hands and began to wrestle.

Bang!

Boom!!

Every time the two of them stepped on the ground, a puff of dust would be raised, and the whole cave would be shaken.

Soon, the two began to struggle with each other.

Although the young dwarf is not as good as the Daogen in terms of mental power cultivation, he is young and strong, and brute strength is more important when wrestling, but he can also hold on to the Daogen.

Touch!!

After a moment's standoff, Dogen smashed the young dwarf away with a mallet, ending the confrontation.

"Haha, not bad, it's a little bit better."

Hearing this, the young dwarf rubbed his forehead and said with a laugh: "Ha! Uncle, you are the old man who is strong, and it seems that it will take a few more years for me to win you. ”

Kyle on the side can see clearly.

Dogen couldn't hold on anymore, so he was forced to take the initiative to end it, in fact, he didn't want to lose face.

And the young dwarf probably knew it, but he didn't say it.

After all, this is just a greeting from the elders to the juniors............ Dwarven style greeting.

"Of course, Mulibachi, even if you are the patriarch now, your uncle will always be your uncle." Dogen said without the slightest embarrassment.

"Yes, yes!"

Mulibachi nodded yes again and again, and immediately shifted the conversation to Kyle.

"Uncle, this young mage is ......"

"Oops! Patronized to greet you, forgot to introduce. Dougan patted his head and quickly pulled Kyle over: "This is Kyle Noens, a genius mage, and Reut's adopted son." ”

As if afraid that his nephew would look down on Kyle, Dougan deliberately accentuated the word Reut.

In any case, Reuth is also an epic guardian appointed by the Empire in Sharpsburg, and no one in the surrounding area knows the reputation of this high-ranking sword master.

His status as an adopted son is enough to be treated preferentially.

In the final analysis, the adopted son of the strong is either an illegitimate child or an apprentice who inherits the mantle.

It's weird like Kyle.

However, Mulibaci did not look down on Kyle because he was not a super-rank, nor did he change his mind because he heard Reut's name.

"Welcome, Master Kyle, I'm the patriarch of the Greystone Clan, Mulibachi, and it's rude to let a guest go to battle just after coming here, but thank you so much just now, these little ants are quite annoying, and they always like to get into the cracks of the power armor."

At this time, Dougan suddenly interjected: "You don't have to worry about it in the future, Kyle will stay in the village for a while, and the little ant is not a problem." ”

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Mulibachi's eyes lit up, and his attitude became more enthusiastic: "That's really good, in order to burn these little ants, the village has burned hundreds of barrels of oil in the past few days, and if it continues to burn like this, I'm afraid there will be no fuel for the winter, fortunately, ......"

Mulibacchi looked at Kyle excitedly.

"No problem, it's just a matter of raising your hands, and the little ant will be handed over to me." Kyle is here to repay Dogan, so naturally he will not refuse this request.

But......

Looking at the deep tunnel in front of you, and the small ants that still keep pouring out of it, but the number has begun to decrease.

Kyle asks himself, "Where did these ants come from, and what's going on in this tunnel?" Could it be that this is a portal to the underworld? How did I not know there was an entrance near Sharpsburg? ”

Deep underground in Tygulas, there are many huge underground cavities in the deep rock formations.

They are often several kilometers high, the largest can even reach tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the smaller ones can reach hundreds of square kilometers.

These cavities vary in size and in varying strata (depths).

But there are usually tunnels that are connected to each other.

Underground cavities, combined with an incalculable number of connecting tunnels, constitute an extraordinarily complex underground space.

This is the underworld.

The Dark Elves have named their new home the Dark Regions, a name that has been accepted by the major powers.

Even though it belongs to the same planet as the surface world, for ordinary flesh creatures, the dark region is basically no different from another world.

The thick strata severely hinder the communication between the two.

Only some deep caverns can connect the surface to the underground, which is what Kyle calls the entrance.

Faced with Kyle's question, Mulibachi looked surprised.

"You don't know?"

"Should I know?" Kyle asked rhetorically.

Mulibachi and Dogan looked at each other, but replied anyway.

Dougan explained: "It seems that Reutt didn't tell you...... Well, as you can imagine, this is a portal to the Dark Realm, and underneath is a giant ant nest. ”

Kyle is helpless.

His body was only 13 years old, and Lloytec still regarded him as a child.

A lot of things are hidden from Kyle.

Although there was some slander in his heart, Kyle continued to ask, "You have been fighting these ants all the time?" ”

"Of course not."

Mulibachi continued: "These black-and-red ants only appeared out of nowhere three days ago, and before, there were no enemies in this entrance. ”

"In fact, the queen ant who borders the territory and entrance has a pretty good relationship with our Greystone Clan, and often trades us for food with magical metal ores."

"It's just a pity she's dead now, and our new neighbor seems to be very unfriendly."

Cannibalism?

Kyle wondered in his heart.

Before the High Elves arrived, Sharpsburg belonged to the territory of the Demigods, the Mother of Ants.

These ants were slaves born to the descendants of the demigods, the descendants of the Mother of Ants, and when the Mother of Ants was slain by the elves, the lords of her nests (sacred beasts) were afraid of the power of the elves and fled.

One of them is said to have escaped underground.

They repopulate their own tribe in the dark regions.

Sacred beasts all possess immortal life, and the queen ant is the descendant of the lord of the nest, and it stands to reason that the lord of the nest will not allow the queen ant to kill each other.

Unless...... The lord of the nest is dead.

Thinking of this, Kyle shook his head, no longer thinking about things that had nothing to do with the current situation.

"Didn't you try to communicate? Behind these ants should be the ant general in charge of the command (super level, high intelligence), if you continue to fight like this, your power armor will soon run out, and Reuth has no reinforcements to send to you now. ”

Power armor, while extremely effective, is also far more complex than ordinary armor.

Being pinched by the black and red giant ants, the damage to the power armor is definitely not small, and the dwarves will soon be unable to replenish it.

At that point, the situation will be in trouble.
