Chapter 22: The Survivors (4/10)
"Help us—" Yi Shujuan was the first to scream, asking the five dwarves for help.
Xiao Ling didn't speak, he didn't know whether the five dwarves who suddenly appeared were friends or foes, and he thought that he had seen a large number of dwarves who had been sucked into dry corpses by the spiders along the way, and thought that the dwarves living underground and the spiders were obviously enemies of life and death, and these five dwarves should be survivors, but he didn't expect that they would suddenly appear and break in, was it really to save them?
Listening to Yi Shujuan's screams yesterday, the dwarf led by him made a series of voices and was saying something to them, but everyone couldn't understand his language.
Although he couldn't understand the language, Xiao Ling could see that this dwarf had no ill will when he spoke to them, and it seemed that he was really trying to save them.
"Let's go!"
In desperation, he suddenly came out to save the star, Xiao Ling didn't have time to think about it, and the Zimu knife slashed out one after another, almost one by one, and no spider could block the blow of his Zimu knife.
Xiao Ling's skills looked at the eyes of these five dwarves, and they all showed a look of surprise, obviously Xiao Ling's skills made them feel surprised.
Soon the two sides converged, and Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
The dwarf with the twin axes gestured at him, then turned back, rushing back in the loop.
The other four dwarves scattered and cut off their backs.
Although the two sides did not understand each other's language, everyone could see that the five dwarves were here to save them.
"Thank you, thank you!" Yi Shujuan was so excited that she burst into tears, Wang Pengcheng, Ma Wei and Li Li also followed closely behind Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling and the five dwarves joined forces, although there were swarms of cockroaches, they couldn't resist it.
These five dwarves are very powerful, several times the human body can add sharp weapons in their hands, and they are good at cooperating with each other, these spiders seem to be a little vulnerable, and soon they will kill a bloody path, rush out of this town, there is a huge rock wall in front of them, I don't know the depth and breadth, on the oncoming rock wall, there are a large number of caves.
These caves, of all sizes, were led by dwarves with twin axes and chose one of them to drill into.
The cave was very small, no more than two meters high and half a meter wide, barely accommodating one person to enter, and as long as everyone got in, these spiders were too big to chase in.
Seeing that the dwarf with the double axe took the lead in getting in, Xiao Ling immediately got out of the way, letting Wang Pengcheng and Li Li get in first, and he stayed behind to help the other four dwarves to resist more and more spiders.
After Wang Pengcheng, Ma Wei, Yi Shujuan and Li Li all got in, Xiao Ling put away his knife and followed closely, and then the four dwarves also got in one after another.
Although there were swarms of spiders gathered in front of the cave, they could only keep screaming, and there was nothing to be done.
Although the entrance to this cave is small, the deeper it goes, the larger the space, and Xiao Ling and the five of them follow the dwarf with the double axe, and keep drilling into it.
After about 100 meters, it has become a wide passage, and after drilling into it for another 1200 meters, it has become a huge natural cave in front of it.
The walls of the cave are covered with beehive-like caves, and at this moment, bright candles are lit in this huge cave, illuminating the dark cave.
Figures flickered in each of the caves, and one dwarf after another came out.
Xiao Ling saw these dwarves, both old and young, most of them were wrapped in rudimentary linen, except for their short stature and wide palms and feet, they were no different from humans in other places.
Many of these dwarves were women, children, and children, and they all looked at Xiao Ling, the five outsiders, with curiosity and a hint of fear.
Xiao Ling exhaled softly, looking at all this in front of him, he understood a little.
The dwarven town was destroyed by the spiders, and countless dwarves died, but there were still many survivors who fled into the depths of the cavern and used this natural cavern as a base to survive.
Although the number of spiders is endless, due to the limitation of their body size, they cannot get into this cave, and even if they know that there are a large number of dwarves living here, there is nothing they can do.
"It's just very strange, these dwarves seem to be very powerful, they all have several times the human body strength, far more powerful than the spider, how can so many dwarves be sucked into dry corpses by the spider?"
Xiao Ling had some doubts in his heart, the five dwarves who had just appeared were very powerful, and now he saw these dwarves in front of him, although most of them were women, children and children, but looking at their actions, their physical strength was not weak, it can be seen from this point that this dwarf race is not only the five dwarves just now who are strong, but they are born with several times the physical strength and strength of their humans.
Why did such a powerful dwarf end up so miserably?
Xiao Ling was a little incomprehensible.
The dwarf with the double axe made a sound in his mouth, as if he was saying something to the women, children and children who came out of the cave in front of him, and soon these dwarves returned to the cave where they lived, but they were still curiously stretching their heads, probing their brains, and staring at Xiao Ling and the five from afar.
Being watched by so many dwarves, Wang Pengcheng and the others became nervous again.
Although these dwarves rescued them here, the language of the two sides is not comprehensible, and they have no bottom in their hearts, and even a few people have made up a lot of legends about cannibals, lest they have just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den.
The axe dwarf put away his axe, then gestured to invite everyone to join him.
After that, he led the group into a cave.
This cave is not small, covering an area of about thirty or forty square meters, although it is only a cave, but it is cleaned up, and a few flat and smooth stones are placed on the ground as stone benches.
The dwarf invited the crowd to sit down, and then spoke and gestured, but they could not understand it.
Seeing that everyone didn't understand, the dwarf was a little anxious on his face, Xiao Ling's heart moved, he pulled out his sword, and wrote on the ground.
He thought of the ancient gods engraved on the stone tablets in this dwarf town before, and he had learned the ancient gods with Professor Li Zhibao, although he couldn't pronounce or understand them, but he could write.
This dwarf stele is engraved with ancient gods, and the dwarf in front of him should be able to understand it.
Sure enough, when the dwarf saw Xiao Ling's words on the ground, he immediately showed a look of surprise, and then waved his hand.
Xiao Ling engraved two words, which meant thanks.
The dwarf waved his hand, signaling that Xiao Ling didn't need to thank him, and then he also wrote on the side, Xiao Ling looked at it carefully, and what he wrote was indeed a divine script.
"Fortunately, although I can't understand it, but I can understand the words he wrote, it seems that it is good to learn more knowledge, if I hadn't learned these ancient characters from Li Lao, this time I would have a big head."
Xiao Ling secretly called for luck, and saw the dwarf carving asking why they were here.
Xiao Ling wrote on the ground, probably explaining to the dwarf in front of him, only saying that a few of his people had come here to travel and inadvertently entered this place by mistake.
