Chapter XVII: Underground Aborigines
A pair of green light sources appeared in the dim darkness, and then more and more, completely enveloping the letter tree. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis sudden change made Nobuyi feel creepy, and Nobuyoki kept silently reciting in his heart that this was a game to relieve tension. Nobuki gripped the hilt of the Blade of Trials, staring closely at the cluster of green light sources that surrounded him.
Shinki was able to guess that these light sources were the eyes of some kind of monster unit, but it was still tricky to have so many at once.
【Spirits of the Nest】An ancient underground race that hides deep underground, lives in groups, is good at burrowing, and generally hunts in groups.
Woo whoa!
With a shrill cry, the mysterious creatures poured out of the darkness like a tidal wave, forcing the letter tree with no way out, and then the letter tree finally saw their faces clearly.
They are a bit thin, about the size of goblins, about seventy or eighty centimeters. The main difference with the goblin is that the big fan-shaped ears do not have the big nose of the goblin, the eyes are large, and the fangs that are supposed to represent the ferocity are short and round, which looks quite cute. I don't know if it's because of the backward smelting technology, or the game setting, most of their weapons are made of gray and white bones, bone spears, bone knives, bone axes, bone clubs, bone shields, and a few wearing animal bone masks, which feels quite funny. Although their names are very foreign, it is more appropriate to describe them as indigenous in terms of dress.
They range in grade from 65-75, and most are below 70. However, there are so many of them that it is impossible for Shinshu to solve them on his own, after all, it is not for nothing that ants bite and die like this.
When the spirit of the nest communicated, it was a scream, and I didn't understand what it meant at all. But they weren't in a hurry to attack. This is bad news for Shinki, who feels like a pig with its limbs tied, waiting to be slaughtered.
Whew!
The diminutive Nest Spirit finally couldn't hold back and attacked, and the first wave of attacks was to throw bone spears. Rain-like bone spears rushed in, and Nobuki regretted that he wasn't a shield-wielding warrior. He swung his sword to block as he retreated.
Puff puff!
Even though there wasn't much pain, the feeling of a bone spear stuck in his body still made Nobuki very unhappy. Now the letter tree is in a dilemma, and the group of little ones always keep a safe distance and attack the letter tree by throwing bone spears. The hateful Shinshu even rose up and rushed into the group of Nest Spirits to fight to the death, so that he could kill some of the Nest Spirits, but he would definitely die faster.
Nobuki used several skills to move his body in succession, rushing in the direction he came from, and then using a wide range of sword skills one after another to repel the Mine Hive Spirit who blocked the way, opening up a way to escape. What Xinshu didn't expect was that this group of little guys saw him rushing over and scattered in a hurry, with no intention of stopping him at all.
Escaped!
Shinki didn't expect to get away so easily, a little surprised.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The cruel reality pulled Shinki back from his fantasy, and he felt a tightness in his body, and his body was uncontrollable.
[Flying Stone Rope], the Flying Stone Rope is a hunting prop, a stone is tied to each end of the rope, and the system will prompt the player to choose to use it when held in the hand, and after confirmation, the system will assist the player to rotate the Flying Stone Rope, and then throw it at the target, hitting or tying the prey.
This tool is generally used in the game as a wilderness survival tool to catch small monsters with high taste levels, such as hares and pheasants. Nobuki had no idea that he was now being entangled by a group of dwarf natives with this skill.
The struggling Shinki watched as a net fell from the sky to cover him, and then a flickering rope-like icon appeared in his field of vision.
The little ones were well prepared, and they had already made the letter tree a hunting target.
"Well, I didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of a group of small natives, and I haven't returned to the Tree of Origin for a long time, so it's time to go back and take a look. It's not bad to spend so much time in a dimly lit abandoned mine and get out in the sun. Seeing that his HP was only more than 1,000 left, and the surrounding black pressure was full of mine nest spirits, he had no hope of escaping, so he could only comfort himself.
Woo whoa!
The strange thing is that the group of little ones did not kill the letter tree, they used more ropes to strengthen the shackles on the letter tree, and it is believed that even with high-level escape skills, it will take a lot of trouble to untie the ropes.
Xinshu was a little confused, if he wanted to kill himself, he would have other things to do. What does it mean to tie yourself up and then a bunch of little guys stand next to you and chat.
It didn't take long for the group of fellows to find an unknown piece of bark, and they dragged the letter tree to the bark just enough to carry the letter tree, and several of them trampled on the letter tree with impunity.
"Oops! Stepped on my face. ”
The Nest Spirits ignored the Faith Tree's wails, and more than a dozen Mine Nest Spirits began to pull the ropes attached to the bark, and the immobile Faith Tree watched as they did nothing but do anything. Now it dawned on Shinki that he had indeed become their spoils, but he didn't know where they were going to transport him.
"Hey, hey, what are you going to do, it's time for dinner, I'm going to go offline to eat, can you hurry up." Xinshu was not nervous, he voiced to summon the exit menu, and found that the exit button could be used, but he had never seen this kind of scene before, hesitated, curiosity made him give up the idea of forcibly quitting, Xinshu wanted to know what this group of little guys wanted to do.
The Spirit of the Mine Hive dragged the letter tree into a small cavern, similar to the cave where the letter tree had passed through the wall, but slightly wider. These caves are so accessible that it's easy to get lost. The lonely letter tree has no awareness of being a prey at all, and it is more like coming in to visit. Whether it was the panicked look of the white-haired Mine Hive Spirit or the curious eyes of the young Mine Hive Spirit, it was interesting to Shinki. The Faith Tree even has the illusion that these so-called Mine Nest Spirits really live in this world.
I don't know how many caves I passed, but suddenly my eyes suddenly opened up and I reached a small empty square. Torches are planted all around, and all kinds of beast bone weapons are dazzling. With the arrival of the letter tree, the spirits of the nest of all ages gradually gathered around.
They were actually roasting meat, and Shinki looked at the pieces of meat that were being smoked on the campfire in the distance, and stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and hunger came over him.
The young and vigorous spirit of the nest tied the letter tree to a stone pillar with a strange pattern carved in the center of the square, which was located on a platform that protruded dozens of centimeters from the ground. On the floor in front of the stone pillar is a pattern several meters in diameter, which is filled with various lines and unknown symbols, like a magic circle.
Most of the Mine Nest Spirits didn't dare to approach the platform where the Faith Tree was located, and the Faith Tree had probably guessed that the place where he was the altar of this tribe, and now he just wanted this group of little guys to complete the ritual quickly, and he could count himself as a good deed, and contribute to this somewhat funny tribe.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a group of mine nest spirits dressed as sacrifices to appear in the open space in front of the letter tree, and some mine nest spirits who were doing manual work brought all kinds of sacrificial supplies, such as small monster heads with horns, dark-colored berries, and insects crawling everywhere, anyway, they were all things from the evil sect.
"Hey, man, hurry up, I'm going to cook for my brother." As if to understand the cry of the letter tree, a priest dressed in a fox animal skin led the other priests to mutter, and began to lead the spirits of the other nests to jump.
