In the Antagreqi Continent, if a race wants to truly rise and gain the recognition and respect of other powerful races, in addition to the national spirit of unremitting self-improvement and perseverance, there is another important thing, that is, to have a sufficient number and sufficient grade of extreme powerhouses as the confidence and hole cards to stand in the "Continent Jungle" for a long time.

It's a pity that for the cavemen, whether it is the resolute national spirit or the precious racial extremity, both are terrifyingly scarce.

Perhaps, the above two items are complementary and one and the same.

It is conceivable that in a race with a weak overall appearance and only promising habits, how can it be possible to give birth to a proud, uninhibited, and upright person who is as strong as the sky? Even though this species has one of the largest populations on land, it is a desolate desert for the growth of the poles, with no soil necessary for germination and growth. On the other hand, without the support of the extremely strong and the right to speak and survive for it, this race can only sink endlessly to the bottom of the ruthless "quagmire of competition", and will never come out.

This is like an unsolvable cycle, and the caveman is a "white mouse" that keeps jumping in the "wheel of circulation". Despite all his hard work, he could only stand still in this cycle until he was exhausted and the elite was exhausted, so that he lost the last bit of racial dignity and soul, and thought that he was truly the lowly rat.

Therefore, when he saw Pocosi's unwillingness and anger, although Moriarty agreed and approved, he could only sigh after all. Even if one day this caveman achieves the ultimate level, if he can't change the mental outlook of all cavemen. At the same time, there are no less than ten figures of the same clan to help, but it is also impossible to pull the caveman out of this deep quagmire.

Leaving the small plain where the Forge Hill is located, the trio quickly entered an inconspicuous tunnel passage under the guidance of the cave hunter.

According to Pocosi, the passage is about 30 kilometers long, relatively flat and easy to navigate, and at the other end is connected to a cold spring mouth, which should be a new source of water opened up by tectonic movements. After bypassing the cold spring, take another tunnel to the temporary lair of the cave ogre.

And when one enters the previous channel. The three of them immediately marched in battle formation.

As a guide and scout, Pocos is in the front. The human mage is in the center, and at the same time, he uses his mental power to occasionally scan the surrounding situation, and acts as a strong defender and strong support force.

The passage was mostly pitch black, with only specks of fluorescent moss providing some pitiful light source.

However, cavemen naturally possess infrared vision and dark perception, so they are not affected; Minotaurs, on the other hand, do not possess dim or heat source vision. However, his sense of hearing and smell is abnormal. And after tens of millions of years of natural evolution, the blind fighting ability is strong and abnormal. There is no risk at all in this lightless environment.

Only human beings, the dark environment naturally has strict restraint and interference with them. However, with the "Serena's Secret Eyes" and the scanning and detection of mental power, Moriarty can still maintain a clear view of his surroundings.

And at the same time as entering the passage. He had already put on the "camouflage hairpin".

This was originally an alchemy hairpin left by her mother Helen, and there was a simplified version of the "magic disguise" solidified inside. And when he was doing "private work" some time ago, Moriarty also modified this hairpin by the way, and greatly adjusted the enchantment characteristics in it to the direction of "temperature shielding". At the same time, with the assistance of the "Phantom Cologne", he can now reduce his body temperature to the same level as the surrounding environment.

Even from Pocos' infrared vision, the human mage's image was only a vague shadow almost indistinguishable from the surrounding rock wall, and the slightest negligence would have missed the past. In this regard, the caveman is revered and abnormal, thinking that "the capable can do anything".

It took about two hours for the trio to traverse the 30-kilometer-long passage.

Sure enough, as the caveman said, the passage was unimpeded and calm all the way.

Of course, during the first part of the journey, Dardanion offered to slow down his progress, considering the status of the Moriarty human priest and fearing that he would be too tired from traveling. However, in the end, the abundant body and agile movements displayed by the human mage shocked the minotaur once again. There is no doubt that just from these basic elements, it can be judged that the other party should also have a considerable foundation and strength in the combat position, which can't help but remind d'Artagnan of some perverts in the dark elves.

And when the first section of the 30-kilometer passage was completed, the cold spring mouth appeared in front of the three of them.

It was an apparently new spring that had broken open from the ground.

The icy spring water erupted from a pillar of stone about five or six meters high on the raised ground, scattered like a heavy rain, and then fell into the new rock pool under the pillar, accumulating several feet of cold pool water. Due to the volatilization of the pool, the surrounding temperature has also dropped to nearly freezing, which is very different from the general sultry environment of the underground world.

"This is the mouth of the cold spring, and the road to the ogre's lair is that." The cave hunter first made sure that the spring was calm and safe, and then pointed to a narrow tunnel on the opposite side.

"Yes."

Moriarty nodded as he looked at the next section of passage pointed out by the caveman. Seeing that the entrance to the cave is already narrow, it seems that it is much more difficult to walk than the way just now.

"Shall we take a break here?"

Arriving at the cold spring, Bo Kesi, who was the vigilant soldier, also involuntarily let out a sigh of relief, and then said. And the continuous rush does consume a lot of body, so it's time to eat and rest.

"Good!"

Dardanion was already attracted by the cool cold pool water and pounced on it. Although the minotaur is not afraid of heat, he also likes to be cool very much, and immediately came to the Qingbo under the spring pillar to make a real "cow drink". And Bo Kesi naturally didn't dare to grab a seat with the minotaur, so he "consciously volunteered" to run to the other side of the cold pool, which was also cool and washed.

As for Moriarty, he just stood where he was, looking at the nearly ten large and small passages scattered around the mouth of the cold spring, and frowned.

To be honest, he didn't think it would be a good idea to stay in such a complex location where the traffic was complicated and it was easy to be exposed to the enemy. But seeing Pocos and Dardanion enjoying their clear and pleasant expressions, the human mage, who is not the absolute leader, did not force anything. Just ask the two natives of Nigon to speed up, and at the same time release three red crystal gargoyles as mobile guard posts.

Seeing Moriarty's cautious actions, Dardanion and Pocos naturally understood what the human mage meant, and prepared to fill the water bladder they had with them and return to Moriarty's side, continuing to march towards the lair of the cave ogre.

But at this moment, the magic puppet hovering in the air suddenly let out a sharp whistle that pierced people's eardrums.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

For the first time, Moriarty also shouted. At the same time, he did not immediately rush to meet the minotaurs and cavemen by the cold spring, but directly released the remaining nine red crystal gargoyles and firmly guarded them.

When they heard the alarm of the magic puppet and the shouts of the human mage, Dardanion and Pocos also woke up, and each took the weapon in his hand and glanced around urgently.

In the blink of an eye, I saw that in the tunnels from all directions on the periphery of the spring, there were a pair of fierce eyes with red in the green. The number is almost incalculable.

"That's... Wolf newt! ”

Bo Kesi, who had the ability to perceive darkness with a natural talent, immediately recognized that those green and red eyes were all the greedy eyes of the abyssal beast wolf newt.

"How is that possible!?" The cave hunter let out another cry of surprise.

It stands to reason that although the newt is gluttonous, it is cautious by nature, and at most it may bully the lone caveman with more fights and less fighting. But if it encounters a strong battle of the Minotaur, even if it is only a Minotaur, the wolf newt will not dare to provoke the other party, even if its own number is more than a hundred, but will only run away on its own. But now, why are there so many abyssal beasts ambushing here, and they dare to take the initiative to attack the minotaurs? This really made Pocos feel incredible.

Dardanion, however, did not have so many thoughts and suspicions.

When he saw that the sneak attacker was a wolf newt that had begun to spramble out of the passage on all sides, the young minotaur immediately raised the enchanted battle axe in his hand and charged towards the enemy with a cruel smile. For the Minotaur, it is even more convenient to kill a few wolf newts than to kill a few ground flies. What's more, d'Artagnan is now wearing "superb equipment", and of course he will not take a few abyssal beasts in his eyes.

Sure enough, the young minotaur killed the wolf newt herd, and set off a bloody storm. In just a few moments, more than thirty abyssal beasts had died under d'Artagnan's enchanted battle axe. Even many Abyssal Beasts were not hacked to death, but were directly blasted by axes with "+1 Heavy Strike Attribute".

Seeing that the attack of the minotaur was so fierce and furious, like a mobile meat grinder, Bo Kesi was also greatly demoralized, and immediately picked up the fern spear in his hand and attacked the wolf newt that rushed towards him. After a while, more than ten abyssal beasts were also stabbed under the spear.

"What's going on? Why haven't these newts retreated? ”

In this way, under the joint attack of d'Artagnan and Pocos, in an instant, the wolf newt has lost hundreds. It stands to reason that with such casualties, even the most ferocious abyss beast herd will have to retreat. But the problem is that the newts surrounding the minotaurs and cavemen have not only not seen any decrease, but have continued to have follow-up reinforcements rushing out of the various passages to join the siege.

Eventually, even a nerve like d'Artagnan realized that something had changed.

"Master!"

Sensing that the battle situation might not be in their hands, the young minotaur immediately prepared to move closer to the human mage to protect the more fragile mage, which is also the responsibility of all warlords in the team.

But when it turned its gaze, it froze. (To be continued......)
