In order to ensure that she would not be discovered by them, Wen Xin hurriedly entered a state of concealment, and her body immediately completely merged with the darkness around her, even if the highland dwarves had good eyesight in the dim light, it was impossible to find this darkness in the darkness.

As Wen Xin expected, this was a heavily armed exploration team of highland dwarves, there were seven people in total, none of the dwarf members were wearing black gold armor, carrying black gold short axes and black gold round shields, each of them was holding a mine hoe more than one meter long in their hands, and they were knocking on the wall from time to time, and then leaning over the wall and listening carefully with their ears.

At this time, a middle-aged bearded highland dwarf who looked like the leader of this exploration team spoke some language that Wen Xin did not understand, and called these team members to say a lot, only to see him point to this with his finger from time to time, and draw a few circles and squares on the ground with his hands, and the members of these exploration teams also said a word or two from time to time, as if they were expressing some opinions.

These highland dwarves spoke dwarven language, and of course Wen Xin couldn't understand it. Because she couldn't understand it, her attention was not at all on the content of these dwarves' conversations, but with a pair of eyes looking directly at the black and gold equipment on these highland dwarves, and she almost drooled.

In this world, in addition to the equipment made of dragon scale dragon armor, the best equipment is the equipment made of black gold by dwarven craftsmen. Now, if you put a piece of equipment made of black gold on the market, it can be said to be priceless, and generally speaking, even if the value is high, it will be bombarded by players. Even if it is a piece of black and gold equipment with another attribute, it can match a set of orange suits.

These highland dwarves all possess the strength of a level 50 elite, and the prospecting captain has reached the strength of a level 50 leader. No matter who it is, Wen Xin is not an opponent alone, so she just thinks about the idea of grabbing equipment, not to mention that she doesn't want to be enemies with these highland dwarves, but wants to be friends with them. In this way, Wen Xin will have the possibility of surviving in the Black Gold City.

How to get in touch with these highland dwarves, a simple conversation doesn't seem to help. Wen Xin thought about it for a long time and still felt that it would be better to observe it first, if it really didn't work, he would quietly follow these highland dwarves, so that he would definitely be able to find his way to the Black Gold City.

After discussing for a while, the highland dwarves seemed to have a plan, and then they saw the only highland dwarf in the team with a crossbow on his back walk to the center of a fork in the road in front of him, took out a few black and round things from his backpack, and then dug a few small pits in the ground to bury these black things carefully. With all this done, the highland dwarf with the crossbow on his back returned to the group.

Wen Xin was very curious about the black things buried by this highland dwarf. But these things look a lot like bombs made of gunpowder, what the hell are they doing?

Just when Wen Xin was completely confused, at this time, there was a cold roar from this corridor, and then a black smoke-like monster appeared in front of everyone, it didn't seem to have a complete form, but it could change its form at will, at this time it had turned into a running beast, rushing towards these highland dwarves.

This kind of smoke-like monster that can change its appearance at will is a nightmare. These creatures often lurk in dark caverns or dark underground worlds, and are said to be formed by the condensation of many living souls, because they are some souls with a strong grudge, so the demons do not have real bodies, and they are not afraid of any kind of attack, the only thing they fear most is fire. However, fire does not inflict fatal damage on them, they live by sucking human souls, so the Nightmare are also known as Nightmares in the Darkness, or Guardians of Darkness.

The number of Nightmare is very rare, even in the soul realm where the most resentment is heavy, the number of Nightmare is only the number of you. This is because the condensation of unjust souls into a demon not only requires a sufficiently heavy amount of resentment, but also requires a specific degree of soul fusion, and generally speaking, it is difficult to fuse souls and souls in a real sense, and it is even more difficult to fuse multiple souls.

It stands to reason that in a place like a mine, not only is the resentment not concentrated, but the environment is not suitable for the breeding of souls, so it is impossible to breed demons. Obviously, this demon must have come from the soul realm or somewhere else. Without resentment, the strength of the demon will be greatly reduced, but fortunately, the darkness will protect its body from dissipating, and at the same time, the soul that sucks some life will also get some corresponding replenishment.

"Boom, boom!"

When the demon turned into a beast ran to the intersection of the corridors, a dazzling fire suddenly erupted on the ground, and the flames burned the demon's body and knocked it back from its beast form. However, these small flames could not help it, and soon, it changed into the appearance of a scythe-wielding cloaked Grim Reaper, which made the highland dwarves stunned on the spot.

These highland dwarves never dreamed that they would use their hoes to knock on the walls in order to lure out an unknown creature that had been hiding here for a long time, but they never thought that this unknown creature was actually a nightmare. In fact, a long time ago, the ancestors of the dwarven race passed down a legend about the nightmare.

Because at that time, the ancestors of the dwarves often went to the deep dark ground to mine, and some of them had seen nightmares. Although the dwarves do not live in the dark underground, they often have to be accompanied by the darkness because of their work, so over time they believe that the darkness also has a guardian spirit, so the ancestors of the dwarves regarded the demon as the guardian god of darkness, and even believed in this creature as a kind of faith.

The Highland Dwarves worship not only Mentoo, the god of the earth, but also the Nightmare Guardian of Darkness. Regarding this, there is a more detailed record in the "Chronicle of the Continent of Calis", and Wen Xin's understanding of the creature of the Nightmare Demon is also seen from this.

Obviously, it was the first time that these highland dwarves present had seen the legendary Nightmare Demon, and it was also the first time that Wen Xin had seen it. Because of their ancestral teachings, the highland dwarves regard the Nightmare as their guardian spirits, but Wen Xin knows that they are a kind of spirit creatures that suck people's souls, and the transformation of shapes is just a way they use to intimidate people. There is no other use.

The highland dwarves saw the demon as if they were gods, and all fell to their knees with reverent faces, as if waiting for the so-called guardian of darkness to come to them.

As the so-called religious superstition is harmful, these highland dwarves are clearly preparing to go up and send them to death. Seeing this, of course Wen Xin refused. If these highland dwarves died, it would be even more difficult to find someone who could take her to Black Gold City, so no matter what, Wen Xin couldn't just watch these dwarves die at the hands of the demons.

At this time, Wen Xin had better do something. (To be continued.) )
