In the history of the dwarves, there was a dwarf who chose to abandon the glory of Muradine when the demon dragon Alex Ank attacked the city of Cuskes, threw himself into the arms of the abyss, and became the evil black iron dwarves. Compared to their fellow mountain dwarves, the Black Iron Dwarves are more cunning and greedy, and even the dirty goblins are very cute compared to the Black Iron Dwarves.

This fallen dwarf has been living under the rule of the dragon Alexianke, excavating the city of Cuscox for its unknown purpose. However, after the dragon was driven back into the abyss by Anthos the Liberator and Kiegfei the Dragon Slayer, the Black Iron Dwarf was also banished to the underground world for nearly a thousand years. Since then, there have been no fallen dwarves on the road.

However, since the mutation in the city of Kuskes, the dwarves stationed in the city have been corrupted and degenerated, becoming even more frenzied monsters than the black iron dwarves. These fallen dwarves are more fast and powerful. Covered with bone spurs, he knows how to ambush and sneak attack, and he is a more cunning monster.

After entering the ruins of Kuskez City, the three of Karl were always on guard against the fallen dwarves, who did not know when or where they would rush out. In the gray fog of Kuskes City, the vision of the three Karls was also extremely narrow, and under the light of the torches, they could only see a few meters nearby.

The entrance to the ruins is the west gate of the city of Kuskes, home to the Dwarven Throne. Although he couldn't see the whole picture of Kuskes City, according to the city gate and the faint light, Carl could still vaguely feel the majesty of the ruins of Kuskes.

According to the introduction of the dwarven king Xos, the city of Anko in Moscow was modeled after the city of Kuskes, so the road that the three of Karl are walking now should correspond to the King's Avenue in Anke City, Moscow, so the huge shadows on the left and right sides are the statues of the dwarven sages.

Goliath, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and motioned for Carl and Vilia to stop. Karl held the shortblade in his hand and held his breath as he watched the changes in his surroundings. Goliath turned his head and pointed to the shadow in front of him. Carl understood, took out two puppet scouts from the space ring, and after gently putting them down, he took out a wind-type Warcraft crystal nucleus and a fire-type Warcraft crystal nucleus and stuffed them on the puppet scout's forehead respectively. With the addition of the crystal nucleus, the puppet scout, which resembled a miniature version of the goblin, was activated, and a vision appeared in Carl's mind, which was what the golem scout saw.

The puppet scout uses the monster crystal nucleus as an energy source, and then drives it by painting an inscription on the body, and on the chest of the puppet scout, there is also a spiritual magic array-spirit link, through the spirit link, you can transmit the scene seen by the puppet scout to the user's mind, and at the same time, when the puppet scout is destroyed, this spiritual link will be broken, and it will not cause harm to the user's spirit.

Once the neural connection is established, the puppet scout staggers to action as if drunk. Looking at the puppet scout who had disappeared into the gray mist, Karl did not let up, but took out the enemy sword. Not only is the sword extremely sharp, it can easily cut through the defenses of heavy armor, but more importantly, it can also provide an early warning for the owner, as long as there are enemies or malicious people around, the sword will emit a glimmer of light to alert the wielder.

Seeing that the enemy sword did not react in the slightest, Karl's heart relaxed slightly. At this time, the footage sent back by the puppet scout did not show any anomalies. Karl gave Goliath a definite gesture, and Goliath moved on.

According to the map of Kuskes, the three of them need to pass through the Dwarven Throne and then descend into the underground mines, which will enter the belly of Mount Andvilmar, which is also the source of the gray fog. Although it is only two places, the distance between these two places is extremely long, and it would take three hours to rely on tools on weekdays, but now it is difficult to rely on tools.

Luckily, the short distance from the gates to the Dwarven Throne and the usually safe roads meant that the three of Karl made it to the Dwarven Throne without much difficulty. Seeing that there was no longer a throne, only a foundation for the dwarven throne, Carl took out the map and prepared to discuss the next plan with Vilia and Goliath.

"Karl, put the map away now. We're in trouble. When Carl heard Vilia's words, he looked up to see countless red dots radiating evil in the gray mist, and at the same time, the puppet scouts who had detected them somewhere had also cut off contact with him.

"I didn't expect to meet it here, I thought it would be later?" Karl raised his sword that glowed faintly, "Goliath, let's come and play." The Abyss Demon Ape was stolen by you, and now it's up to the two of us to kill more monsters. ”

Goliath smiled slightly and rushed directly into the mist in response to Karl's request, Karl also smiled when he saw this, and followed Goliath to rush in as well. Standing in place, Vilia said to Phoenix on her shoulder: "Little Finny, you can stay on my shoulder, you don't need to fight yet." "Hmm. Phoenix lazily responded, until now Phoenix had not completely absorbed the Abyss Demon Flame, resulting in her being unable to move now.

Looking at the constantly flickering thunder and fighting spirit in the gray mist, Veria also pulled the bowstring full and shot her own arrow. The pale green arrows do not seem to be compatible with the gray mist, and the gray mist will dissipate somewhat, and the color of the arrows will become darker, and after hitting a fallen dwarf, the arrows will turn into turquoise points of light and disappear into the air.

Vilia's curved eyebrows furrowed slightly, staring at the place where the arrows had dissipated. Since entering the ruins, Vilia has been very disgusted, and the mist here has the smell of life corruption, which makes Vilia, who admires nature, feel very uncomfortable. It's just that I didn't expect that the fog here would be able to corrode the arrows shot by Erin Looth.

As the most legendary bow in the elven kingdom, Erin Loth has always been held by the elven royal family, but in the War of the Roses a hundred years ago, the elven lord Einovic was defeated by humans, and Erin Loth is also missing, and his whereabouts are unknown. For hundreds of years, the elves have sent people to the mainland many times to look for them, but in the end, they have all returned in vain.

Erin Loth is made by the Elven Lord God Corellon by collecting the light of the stars and the branches of the Ancient Tree of Life, which can freely generate arrows, and has the power of the stars when attacking, with powerful tearing and piercing effects. However, on the corpse of the fallen dwarf that had just been shot, Vilia found that the arrow only hit it and had no other effect, that is, the gray mist had weakened the power of Erin Loth.

"Karl, Goliath, be careful, this gray mist can weaken our burst of energy, and the more it explodes, the more it will weaken. Vilia said to the two of Carl as she shot at the fallen dwarf that was killing her.

Looking at the unknown number of fallen dwarves in front of him, Carl is now out of breath, this fallen dwarf is not the opponent of Carl and the two of them at all, and he doesn't need to use the power of the inscription on the sword to slash the enemy, Carl can easily kill with just his fighting spirit. It's just that after killing a few, Carl found that his Dou Qi was consumed quickly, and now there was only a thin layer of Dou Qi attached to his body. And as the fighting spirit is consumed, Carl's physical strength is also declining, and there are already some things that can't be supported. Goliath's situation is better than Karl's, after all, as a half-orc hybrid, Goliath has a stronger body than Karl, but after a battle, Goliath also shows a state of exhaustion.

"Karl, we must get out of here, or this depraved dwarf will be enough to consume us here. Goliath kicked a fallen dwarf that pounced on him and said to Karl, who was fighting the fallen dwarf.

"Where are you going?" Karl asked after taking out a fallen dwarf. "When I was in the city of Anko, Moscow, I carefully observed the King's Avenue in front of the Dwarven Throne, and knew that there was a path that led to the belly of the mountain, and once we reached there, we could quickly reach the belly of the Anderville Mountain. ”

"Then follow this. Karl took out three goblin grenades purchased from the Explorers Guild from the spatial ring, and threw them directly into the fallen dwarves, before running with Goliath to the Dwarven Throne without looking back.

With a violent explosion, the gray fog in King's Square was swept up by the blast wave, revealing the fallen dwarves shrouded in the gray fog. A mouth full of sharp teeth dripping with miserable green saliva, red eyes full of murderous desire, ugly bone spurs all over the body, and the original bronzed skin was full of pustules. Although he had already seen the appearance of the fallen dwarf in the engram, when he saw it with his own eyes, Carl realized how disgusting this monster was, far more disgusting than the sewer rat people he encountered in his early adventures.

Carl's three goblin grenades didn't kill many fallen dwarves, and it seemed that the power of the goblin grenades was absorbed by the gray mist, and only killed the dwarves at the center of the explosion. Even so, the three goblin grenades bought a small amount of time for the three of Karl to retreat. And, because the blast swept away part of the gray mist, the fallen dwarves who left the gray fog seemed to have no soul, standing still.

"Goliath, where is the passage you were talking about?" Karl asked Goliath after throwing a few more goblin grenades behind him. "It's right there. Goliath pointed to the right of the road, and in the faint light of the torches, Karl could barely see a black road, like a man-eating beast waiting for its prey to enter.

"Are you sure? I feel like it's a road to hell. Karl laughed as he slashed a fallen dwarf who had caught up. "There's no good way now, let's go there for now. My arrows are weakened here, so it's up to you for the rest of the battle. As she ran towards the passage, she drew her bow and shot arrows, killing six or seven fallen dwarves with a few shots. "By the way, do you know how many fallen dwarves there are in the city of Kuskes?" Karl asked. "About three thousand!" I didn't expect Goliath to give the answer, "There was once an army of dwarves stationed here, and when the gray fog erupted, not a single dwarf escaped. ”

Hearing this number, Karl, who was running at the end, instantly surpassed Goliath and ran to Vilia's side, "Now whether it's hell over there or not, I'm going to go." Three thousand fallen dwarves? Henry Moss is on top, and if they stand there and let me kill, I will be exhausted to death. ”

Karl's joke didn't cause laughter, and Vilia was still silently shooting backwards, and Lvoria had no long-range attack options, so she had to stay at the end and kill the fallen dwarves who rushed up. In this way, the three of them had come to the passage that Goliath had said could lead to the belly of the Andvil Horse Mountain. "Tell both sides, let me surprise these disgusting monsters. Carl took the Dream Lamp in his hand, and looked at the faint blue light burning in the lamp, Carl took out a fire source crystal and put it into the Dream Lamp. It is true that the Dream Lamp can multiply the spells that are released, but it also has a huge drawback, that is, it also needs to replenish energy. This flaw was not mentioned by Karlenezzi when he sold the Dream Lamp to Carl, and it was only after Carl found that it could not be increased when he was familiar with the Dream Lamp, and found that it could not be increased, and then found that Kalenezzi tortured him. In order to punish the profiteer, Carl, of course, demanded several unusual scrolls as compensation.

The replenishment of the energy of the Dream Lamp is very simple, as long as it is an elemental ability, it can be replenished, and it can be turned into the purest energy in the Dream Lamp. As the fire source crystal was put into the wick of the dream lamp, the dark blue flame instantly enveloped the fire source crystal, and after a while, a fist-sized fire source crystal was absorbed and disappeared, and the faint dark blue flame was only slightly bright.

Seeing that the Fire Source Crystal was completely absorbed, Karl began to chant the spell that unleashed the fire storm, and as Karl chanted in a frustrated voice, the flames in the Dream Lamp also began to shake, and he was drawn by Karl's spell. As a fourth-level fire magic, Firestorm's biggest advantage is a wide range of covering attacks, which is especially suitable for the current situation, and after the amplification of the Dream Lamp, I don't know what it will become.

When the last word was chanted, a small flame appeared on Karl's chest, and before it could erupt, it was sucked in by the Dream Lamp. Then, under the surprised gaze of Goliath and Vilia, the almost milky white flames rushed out of the Dream Lamp in a furious and devastating manner, and the blazing heat made Carl who was holding the Dream Lamp very uncomfortable and wanted to throw it away. "What's wrong?" Phoenix, who had been sleeping in Velia's arms, felt the power of the flames, like a devil attracted by a delicious soul, and Phoenix's big smart eyes stared at the flames that completely illuminated the dwarven throne.

"It's okay, Finni, Karl is exterminating the fallen dwarves. When Vilia saw Phoenix wake up, she gently held her in the palm of her hand and whispered, but found that Phoenix's eyes had been fixed on the flame amplified by the dream lamp, and she did not move. "What's wrong? Do you want to eat these flames?" asked Velia, and to her surprise, Phoenix jumped over, shook his head at Veria, and said, "Sister Vilia, I'm going to go back to sleep." I feel like I'm about to get to the next level. "Then at that time, I will definitely prepare a bag of fire source crystals for you to eat." Vilia put Phoenix back on her chest, then looked up at the Flame Hell in front of her.

The amplified fire storm covered a wide area, and the speed of the outbreak was so fast that those fallen dwarves didn't have time to react at all, and in just an instant, the fallen dwarves who were chasing after Karl and the three were basically covered by the fire storm and struggled in pain in the sea of fire.

"Let's go. At the very least, this sea of fire will last for a while. We took advantage of the time to hurry to the belly of the Anderville Horse Mountains. Karl took the Dream Lamp back into the Spatial Ring and said to Goliath and Vilia. "Carl, you said that this dream lamp can absorb any matter as energy, but what about the gray mist?" asked Goliath, who was walking beside Karl.

Karl was a little stunned by Goliath's words, and indeed in Kalenezzi's explanation of the Dream Lamp, it was indeed stated that no matter what kind of energy, the Dream Lamp could be absorbed and increased. And now these gray fogs floating around them can also be said to be a kind of energy existence in the strict sense,

"Karl, I advise you to give up this idea. Just as Carl was eager to absorb some gray mist to see the effect, Vilia said in a cold voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the Dream Lamp can not only increase the energy, but also the negative effects contained in the energy itself. If you're not afraid of death, you can try. It seems that Velia still hasn't forgiven Carl for being drunk and crazy at Fort Clarifera.

"Let's hurry up. Goliath coughed and said.

"My lord, there are traces of passage being passed through here. Varys crouched on the ground, picked up a handful of dirt, put it in front of his nose, and sniffed it. "Varys, we're not going down that road. We walked along. Amerigo stood in front of a fork in the road, pointing to a passage in the opposite direction to Varys.

"Yes, sir. Although Varys did not understand why Amerigo would choose a path that had never been traveled before instead of a relatively safe one, Varys decided to follow Amerigo's orders out of trust in Amerigo. "Take out your weapons. It won't be long before we have a fight. Amerigo ignored Varys and Andrew's surprised expressions and walked straight into another passage.

On the other side of the ruins of Kuskes City, the team of the Greywater Mercenary Group was engaged in a battle with the Fallen Dwarves, and judging from the corpses lying on the ground, the Fallen Dwarves suffered many casualties, and the Greywater Mercenary Group also lost three or four deaths. After discarding a fallen dwarf whose body had withered at random, Bloody Hand Colin looked at the number of fallen dwarves in front of him who had not decreased much, and felt a little angry in his heart, "Haven't you opened the gate yet?" "I'm sorry, Captain, this door is made of obsidian by dwarves, and it has a high magic resistance. The subordinates are still cracking it, please give me a little more time. A middle-aged man standing in front of the gate, sweating profusely, said.

It turned out that after the Greywater mercenary group entered the ruins of Kuskes City, they encountered the hungry attack of the fallen dwarves, and during the battle, the bloody hand Colin also discovered the problem of the gray fog absorbing energy, so he ordered the members to retreat while fighting, but the members who did not want to lead the way panicked and led them to a dead end. Trapped in front of a sealed gate, unable to move forward.

"Stand in the way. Colin turned and walked to the stone gate, and after throwing the alchemist aside with one hand, he stood where he was, and the left hand that sealed the ghost began to charge. With a loud shout, a blood-colored energy dragon slammed into the stone door. After the smoke and dust cleared, cracks began to appear on the stone door, and only a click was heard, and the originally solid stone door collapsed into ruins.

"Let's go. Colin was the first to enter the darker gray mist behind the stone gate. The other members of the Greywater Mercenary Regiment also fought and retreated, and slowly entered the stone gate.
