Chapter 320: Lizardmen
Ten hours ago,:.
Xiao Yu and the dwarven copper hammer left the mountain stream where they were temporarily resting, and reconfirmed the direction to move in the direction where the dwarven pit was located. Along the way, he encountered several groups of foxes and dwarves who were scattered by ogres, and Xiao Yu took them all and put them in the space ring to take them back to Wentian City.
Their current location is already the central part of the Ogre Mountain Range, which should have been an area where fierce beasts and monsters are rampant and ogres are overflowing, but with Golden Thunderbolt and Copper Hammer, two people who grew up here since childhood, as guides, everyone walked in the gap between the territory of powerful monsters and the ogre tribe, without alarming any powerful existence, and did not encounter any dangerous things.
The sky gradually darkened, the temperature suddenly dropped by a few degrees, the branches and leaves were blown by the wind to the left and right, and soon a heavy rain poured down, the rain hit the leaves, making a crisp sound, and the rain dripped down the branches, making the mountains and forests become damp.
The beard of the copper hammer was constantly dripping with water, and laughed: "Hahahaha, you see that even the sky is helping the dwarves, the heavy rain can dilute the smell, affect the predation and harassment of monsters, we should be able to walk more smoothly." At the current rate, you will be able to reach the pit in two or three hours at most. ”
"Really? I don't like it. ”
Xiao Yu was soaking wet, and walked in the forest step by step. Most of the ground is rotten leaves and soft soil, and it becomes muddy and difficult to walk as soon as there is too much water, in order to save as much energy as possible, Xiao Yu did not choose to fly.
Bronze Hammer looked up at the dark sky and said, "It's already dark, we have to travel overnight, although it rains, but the forest at night is very dangerous, we have to be more careful." ”
Xiao Yu just wanted to speak, but his eyes suddenly caught a fleeting figure among the wet branches in front of him, and immediately shouted: "Be careful with the copper hammer, there is something in front!" As soon as he finished speaking, several figures that were not tall but very agile jumped out of the woods, and several javelins glowing with green light shot at several people. The javelins were coming, and everyone was in a state of rapid progress, so fast that they almost had time to react.
"Damn it!"
The copper hammer shouted violently, and threw an energy hammer to shatter two javelins, but the butcher did not dodge, and the javelin shot through the body as if piercing a layer of paper, piercing through a dozen giant trees behind it in an instant. The huge piercing wound on the butcher's chest recovered in just two seconds, although the physical attack was ineffective against the butcher, but this blow made him stop, and other book friends looked at it normally:.
Only Xiao Yu was not affected by the attack, and instantly saw through the trajectory of the javelin, and stepped on the muddy ground with his volley changing footsteps, avoiding the javelin by a slight difference, and the war knife shrouded in a strong black aura was already in his hand, and he rushed forward almost without any pause, leaving a gray trajectory in the air between the swings of the war knife and slashing down fiercely.
"Bang!"
In the darkness, the two weapons collided, sputtering dazzling sparks, and the strength of both sides was about the same, and each was shocked back a small step. The black shadow didn't know what martial arts to use, and in the process of retreating, the spear changed into a big green snake like Xiao Yu's neck and bit it, attacking fiercely and viciously, trying to kill with one blow.
Xiao Yu split the strange snake with a knife, the moment his body stabilized, the bullet time was turned on, and the triple explosive power opened and jumped, and the surrounding ground was collapsed by the huge force, and a crimson knife slashed down at the black shadow.
The cold power of the sword froze the water vapor in the air, forming a large patch of crimson ice mist. Frightened by the sudden increase in strength and speed, he tried his best to retreat, but he was still scratched by the crimson sword.
The sneak attacker's skills were extremely agile, obviously a speed-type warrior, and when the copper hammer and the butcher rushed up, he had already retreated into the woods, but Xiao Yu could see his appearance clearly, this was a kind of intelligent creature about one meter six or seven tall, covered with a layer of cyan scales, with a tail, and the head was the head of a lizard.
The brass hammer roared, "The master of the lizard people! As he spoke, he immediately condensed an energy hammer and smashed it over, and before the destructive energy hammer could arrive, the green magic enchantment appeared out of thin air to block the dwarf's blow. After Xiao Yu forced the lizardman, he slashed at the greatly weakened enchantment with a knife, and the powerful demon-breaking power pulled the green enchantment out of the gap. The entire wall of light shattered, turning into a sky full of photoelectric hours in the air.
Xiao Yu didn't have time to rush up, he suddenly felt a softness under his feet, and the surrounding land instantly turned into a black swamp, the huge attraction was tightly attached to his feet, and the strong binding force made people unable to move, and slowly pulled down the swamp.
This is a fourth-level earth magic, sinking into a swamp!
The lizardmen came out of the forest, there were a total of ten people, the weakest were all third-order late-stage strength, the strongest two lizardmen were a fourth-order early stage and a fourth-order early stage, both of which were strong masters, one of the early fourth-order lizardmen warriors, holding a green spear in his hand, and two short knives tied to his waist The warrior had a shallow knife from his right shoulder to his right chest, the wound was not deep and it was not a big deal, but a thin layer of cold ice had covered half of his body, making his body stiff and trembling, and the rain drops on the thin ice immediately condensed, In the blink of an eye, it was half a centimeter thicker.
This lizardman warrior never thought that with the agility of the lizardman warrior, as the side of the surprise attack, instead of gaining an advantage, he was also injured by the opponent and suffered a big loss.
Jin Li and the other third-order dwarves were trapped in the swamp and couldn't move, and they refused to resist and sank into the magic swamp little by little, and the situation of the copper hammer was similar, and they roared loudly: "The despicable and hateful lizardmen actually attacked us and used such a shameless trap!" ”
Out of the lizardmen came an old man with a long staff in his hand, and the sinking of the swamp was his masterpiece, and he said in the language of the High Dwarves: "Stubborn and stupid dwarves, get out of this land, dwarves are not welcome in this mountain!" ”
Bronze Hammer said angrily: "The dwarf wants to go home, it's your business." ”
The old mage of the lizardmen said coldly, "Since the ignorant and greedy dwarves came here, they have dug too deep for the ore. There is a terrible curse buried under this mountain range, not long ago there was a gap in the seal, and a terrible catastrophe will come to the continent sooner or later! This is the work of the stupid dwarves, and you must pay the price with your blood and soul! ”
Bronze Hammer said: "Nonsense, that seal is already weak, and even if there are no dwarves, it will dissipate sooner or later." What's more, the dwarves have always followed the orders of Master Yagang and always guarded the seal, and it was the stupid ogre who caused the seal to break! ”
The old mage of the lizardman said, "Yagang? Yagang is just a stubborn idiot like the other dwarves! “
The fourth-order warrior of the lizard man shattered the ice on his shoulder with his strength, and gradually recovered, hearing this, he said: "It's all Yagang's fault, other book friends read it normally:!" If it weren't for his insistence on building the pit and not following the persuasion of the ancestors of the forest tribes, such a result would not have happened! ”
A group of dwarves led by Yagang came here, and with excellent vision and experience, they found an area with the highest concentration of magic ores, and Yagang was very happy and led the dwarves to settle down and form a dwarf mine. Ever since the dwarves owned the mines, the harassment and attacks of the lizards and ogres have not stopped for a day, calling the area a forbidden forest, in an attempt to drive the dwarves out by force.
Dwarves are persistent and stubborn, eat soft and not hard, if you sit down and talk about it, talk about the powerful relationship, Yagang will really be convinced. But the forest tribes used extreme force to expel them, and the dwarves would not give in even if they died together. Yagang is even more so, he himself is a fourth-order peak warrior, and the pioneers of the pit In addition to him, there are at least ** high-level dwarf warriors in the late fourth-order period, and there are more than thirty warriors with strength exceeding the fourth-order, and they are by no means easy to mess with, and those who come to find trouble are unceremoniously defeated by the dwarves.
Over the years, the dwarves have fought intermittently with lizardmen, ogres, and other races, and never really stopped. The dwarven population has not been able to be improved and replenished with fresh blood, so when the pioneers led by Yagang died, the dwarf pit decayed from its heyday, and was finally completely captured by the combined attack force of several ogre tribes more than half a year ago.
Xiao Yu should have thought of it a long time ago.
Even if the strength of the dwarf pit is not as good as before, but at that time, there were at least ten fourth-order high-level dwarves in the pit, and the population of the entire dwarf pit was only thirty or twenty thousand, and there could not be too much food. Ogres don't have a lot of intelligence, but they are not stupid enough to start such a plundering war, the ore and food are just a plunder, and what they want to do most is to drive the dwarves away from here!
The golden thunderbolt and the copper hammer didn't care so much, hearing the lizardman say bad things about the great patriarch Yagang, the two of them suddenly jumped like thunder, but the black mud swamp under their feet became more and more attractive, and the more they struggled, the faster they sank, and the viscous black mud almost covered the dwarf's chest.
Xiao Yu was not in a hurry to get out of trouble and asked, "What is under that pit, and why is it worth it?" ”
The old lizardman mage replied, "This is a legend from a distant ancestor that an ominous seal, once broken, will cause a terrible disaster. This is a rule set by the ancestors, no one can violate it, don't talk nonsense, those who want to enter the forbidden land will only die! ”
Xiao Yu sneered and said, "Save it, do you really think I'll be afraid of this magic of yours?" In my opinion, the seal has been damaged, and it is only a matter of time before it completely collapses, so it is better to let us go as soon as possible, we just go back to the mine to get something, and by the way, we can help scout the situation inside. ”
"Dream, don't even think about it!"
The old mage of the lizardman swung his staff vigorously and shouted, "The chatter is over." He looked at Xiao Yu and the butcher, "Are people who are not related to it also involved?" Since you are in collusion with the dwarves, then be buried with the dwarves forever and die! ”
A magical force poured into the sinking swamp, and the entire swamp was stirred like a bucket of paste, and everyone sank faster. This magic is quite powerful, the black mud is very viscous like super glue that makes people unable to use their strength, and at the same time, the binding force is extremely strong and cannot escape, and there is even a silent effect.
It's no wonder that this old lizard is talking so much nonsense before he does it, and he is clearly dragging out time to ensure that the three fourth-order people are completely subdued.
The brass's jaw was sunk into the swamp, and his eyes widened and he shouted, "Oh no! ”
Xiao Yu put the war knife into the ring, and ripped off the bandage-like strip of cloth wrapped around his left arm, revealing a distinctive arm. A large number of earthy yellow marks like tattoos are deeply imprinted in the skin like spider webs, like cracks in the dry yellow earth, which looks a little hideous and terrifying at first glance.
The old lizardman mage frowned when he looked at the hand, "This arm ......"
Xiao Yu didn't react to the lizardman, and his left hand quickly plunged into the magic swamp - sandification!
(Sorry, there was an error in the front, the five people in the Ghost Tower should be five or six points of energy for eight hours, which has been modified, thanks to the lonely otaku for pointing it out!) )
