Chapter 0210: Dungeon
As soon as Zhou Qingfeng turned around, the wizards and priests who had been prepared immediately took action. 'Stone Wall', 'Fireball', 'Expelling Evil', Heavy Spells Bombarded Continuously in One Breath.
The face reflected in the sea of fire everywhere is hot, and normal people will avoid it. But the never-ending colony of ants rushed into the flames, squeaking and fearlessly shutting down the stone walls that stood in their way.
Justin and other pastors use the phrase 'banish evil', but this only stops a small number of acidophilic ants, and more ants follow each other and stack them on top of each other. They were piled up in numbers to exceed the height of the stone wall, flipped over the edges, and continued to impact.
The impact of the psychic jammer completely enraged the queen, and her mind lost control, and she kept screaming at the humans in front of her, vowing to let everyone be buried with her.
There were too many ants, and the continuous spells only bought Zhou Qingfeng and the others half a minute at most. Their original plan was to kill the queen as best they could. But whether you kill or not, you must flee immediately.
Because even if the queen is killed, the out-of-control acidophilus ants will attack all the targets they can sense. Without the control of the queen ant, this species is irrational.
Zhou Qingfeng's attack failed, and he turned around and took his sister into the passage dug by the ants and entered the cemetery. He consulted with the others, and they all decided that the elven ruins deep underground were the only way to escape. Hurry in before the ants have yet to flood in.
In just half a minute, everyone fled underground. The number of acidophilus ants pouring into the ground is only five or six hundred, and they are about to be surrounded under the control of the queen, but they are immediately breathed by the flames of the 'Swift Shadow'.
The men and horses of Cold Wind City also followed into the underground, and after the long-legged city lord led by him was in charge of the break, he took out a high-level scroll of the 'Shock Detonation Technique' in his hand, and aimed it at the entrance of the passage that had not been dug for a long time and forcibly bombarded it.
Thousands of acidophilus ants are pouring in from outside the passage, blasted into the sky by the 'Shock Explosion Technique'. The shattered ant carcasses flew up like raindrops, falling far and near within a range of nearly 100 meters.
By the time the acid-emolin ants came up again, the passage had been blown up. Want to dig for at least another hour or two. The queen ant lost the traces of Zhou Qingfeng and the others, and was so angry that she let out a crazy mental shock, and the targets within a few hundred meters of the shock could feel palpitations.
It was a dangerous half a minute, and everyone almost had to be bitten alive by ants. Zhou Qingfeng endured the dizziness caused by the impact of his mind, and chopped to death all the acidophilic ants that pounced on him, so that he had time to observe the mysterious underground space.
Without the number of acidophilus ants, even rookie soldiers can easily deal with them. Soon after, several sorcerer's fires lit up under the collapsed passageway, wafting and illuminating. Zhou Qingfeng released a large number of invisible servants from his body, and asked Sophia to manipulate them to probe around.
The air underground is very turbid and smells of earth. The detonation technique just now kicked up a lot of dust, making it difficult for people to breathe. Everyone looked around, one looking for a way to escape, and the other ...... to observe this famous elven city.
The Wizard's Fire illuminates the paved walkway on the ground, and the walkway is lined with flowers and plants that have fallen in defeat. At intervals along the walkway, a statue, a garden, or the remains of a fountain will appear.
Most of the statues are based on the life of elves, flowers, birds, insects and beasts, heroic myths, the content is changeable, and the carvings are exquisite. It's just that in this gloomy underground, the light and shadow shake to give people a great sense of weirdness.
Zhou Qingfeng looked back at the collapsed passage, "Those ants will still come down, we must find a way out of here." ”
On the side of Cold Wind City, led by the city lord, there were more than thirty people. They were more curious about the underground space. The son of the city lord named Marbury asked curiously, "Are we entering the ruins of Silver Leaf City?" ”
"Yes, this is the cemetery." Zhou Qingfeng rode the 'Swift Shadow' and took Xili to become everyone's guide. He led the way, through several abandoned gardens and walkways, to a collapsed stone building in the center.
"This is Sahanni. The Sanctuary of the Moon Bow, which presides over the death priesthood of the elves. You'd better not touch anything here, because those ants are here to get cursed by the gods. ”
Zhou Qingfeng didn't even get close to the collapsed holy hall, and stayed away. "Around this are the tombs of the successive lords and high-ranking clergy of Silver Leaf City. Outside is the burial place of elven civilians.
It is said that the souls of the deceased have gone to the gods they believe in. But the bones they left behind often became the favorite carriers of various ghosts. I advise you not to move. ”
Hearing that the tombs of the previous city lords and high-ranking clergy were here, many people on the side of Cold Wind City were greatly moved. In the world of swords and sorcery, digging graves and robbing corpses is all too common, and it's even a specialized profession.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't bother to pay attention, and Healy was pointing the way in his arms, leading everyone to bypass the cemetery and move towards the temple area. Their final destination was the Ancient Tree in the center of Silverleaf City, from where it was safest to leave.
In the dark and gloomy underground, everyone was nervous, not daring to leave Zhou Qingfeng too far. But when the team made the way all the way to the huge elven ancient tree without any obstacles, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The huge ancient tree is the backbone of the entire dungeon, and its trunk is equivalent to a towering building, hundreds of meters high. Climb up the tangled rhizomes to enter the hollow heart of the tree. From the center of the tree, you can connect to the ground and break away from the dungeon.
The canopy of the tree dissolves into camouflaged hills on the ground. Every night when the moon is full, the center of the tree opens its exit, and you can see the sky by climbing out.
And in the entire dungeon, only this ancient tree is still alive. If an acidophilus ant comes close, it will wake up and fight. It is also the only safer place in the dungeon.
Zhou Qingfeng led the way to the ancient tree and explained the way to leave. However, today is obviously not the night of the full moon, and everyone stands under the huge tree roots and only marvels at the enormity of the ancient tree, but they cannot leave for the time being.
"When is the night of the full moon?" The Long-legged City Lord stood up and asked.
Zhou Qingfeng shrugged, "Under the Iron Curtain, the sky is forever overcast. If you live in the Northland all year round, you can't figure out the calendar, and I can't figure it out. If we are too unlucky, we may have to wait here for a month before waiting for the full moon. ”
The Northland has been away from the sun and moon for so long that ordinary people are afraid to forget what the sun and moon are. However, there are quite a few wizards and priests in the team, and they need to be familiar with the calendar.
Justen, the plague priest, said, "The night of the full moon should come in three days. ”
Everyone looked at each other, a little distressed. It is said that they have all arrived in Silver Leaf City and are still in the center of the ruins, so everyone should be happy. But at present, I have no food or drink, and I have to face the acidophilic ants chasing in, so it is still doubtful whether I can survive three days.
After saying it clearly, Zhou Qingfeng waited quietly under the ancient tree. The centaurs on the side of Coldwind City quickly disbanded after whispering, apparently wanting to explore the ruins and find valuable treasures before the acid-emolin ants were surrounded.
Even Justen and Mondino couldn't hold back, and after asking Zhou Qingfeng a few words, they also took their respective apprentices to try their luck. Only the boy, the maid, the dead horse, the five unlucky pro-soldiers, and the clown Adrian were left.
"Why don't you go with them?" Zhou Qingfeng asked Adrian, "We have entered the dungeon, although the elves have emptied the city as much as possible, there are still a lot of good things left." ”
Adrian smiled shyly, "I think it will be more profitable to follow His Excellency Hugo." ”
"Why?"
"Because you know the city all too well."
