Chapter XXVII
"Whew!" Xu Mo lit a torch, and the orange-red light reflected everyone's faces very terrifyingly, making the two beauties feel a little apprehensive in their hearts, and they inadvertently leaned together with each other.
Although the four walls of this tunnel are made of boulders, after all, they are in disrepair, and the beautiful knights and mages who have no night vision have fallen several times, but Emira has walked steadily because of the relatively low chassis.
"Tick, tick!" In front of the tunnel, there was the faint sound of water droplets and a hazy glimmer.
The crowd vigilantly extinguished the torches and continued on their way with a little glimmer of light, but as soon as they turned a corner in the tunnel, they were immediately attracted by the sight before them.
In front of them, the secret passage of the treasure trove was temporarily interrupted, and in its place was a large natural cave. The top of this large cave is very high, with conical stalactites hanging down from the roots, and below it is a large lake.
The surface of the lake is densely packed with faint fluorescence, and the fluorescence is like a veil of mist, reflecting the surface of the lake full of fluorescence as if it is the starry sky at night, quiet and beautiful.
"It's so beautiful!" The elf took a deep breath of intoxication, and it seemed as if she had returned to her native Tirisfal Glades. Elves don't like to spoil nature, and there is such a nocturnal beauty in the Tirisfal Glades.
The knight next to the elf was silent, she also remembered her hometown, but her hometown had now become a plague land inhabited by the undead, and destruction and death were the theme song there.
Xu Mo raised his hand to feel it, and said: "There should be a vent at the top of this cave, but it shouldn't be big, and it has been modified by the Brute Hammer Dwarf, otherwise, there will be orc guards here." ”
"This little lake is not stagnant, there is a slight flow of water below the surface of the lake. The water in the lake is so cool, I really want to take a dip! Ronin withdrew his hand from the lake and shook the stain from his hand, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Bridget and Winnesa glaring at him.
"Humph!" The two women snorted coldly, turned their heads, and gave Luo Ning two scoops behind his head.
"What's wrong?" The mage was confused.
This nerd, hopeless! Xu Mo shook his head, after coming out of Lockmodan, the two beauties didn't stop to take a good wash in order to hurry and save him. It's been two or three days now, and they're all covered in stinky sweat, and it's strange that Luo Ning doesn't open any pot and which pot he doesn't mention, so he doesn't get a white eye.
The lake is about more than ten meters wide and more than two meters deep, but it can't stop Xu Mo and others, and there is another black pit mouth on the opposite side of the lake.
"There is no danger in the lake, we can swim through!" After Xu Mo finished speaking, he took the lead and jumped into the water, and the cold lake water made his mind clear. Xu Mo snorted comfortably and swam quickly to the opposite shore.
Seeing this, everyone also jumped into the lake, and the two men climbed up to the opposite shore after a while, and the two beauties spent a long time in the lake before slowly climbing up. The expressions of the two beauties as if they had just come out of the bath made the eyes of the two men light up, but seeing the leather armor and chain mail on the woman's body, Xu Mo couldn't help sighing, how good it would be to replace it with silk.
The last one to come up was the dwarf maiden, and Amira drank hard in the lake, poured a belly of sweet water, and finally climbed ashore contentedly, and sat on the shore patting her belly.
After resting for a while, everyone was about to get back on the road, but they found Xu Mo looking at Xiaohu on the shore in a daze, frowning and pondering.
"Cole, let's go, I'll be a guest in my hometown of Tirisfal Glade in the future, we have a hundred times more beautiful scenery there!" Wen Leisha thought that Xu Mo was still nostalgic for the beautiful scenery here, so she couldn't help but come forward to remind her.
"Cole is a warrior, and he prefers to make meritorious contributions to the Alliance on the front lines, unlike you elves who covet comfort!" The beautiful knight next to her interjected coldly.
"Hee-hee!" Wen Lesa did not refute Brigitte this time, but gave a meaningful look at the beautiful knight.
"Humph!" As if sensing that her careful thoughts had been seen through by Wen Lesa, Brigitte snorted dejectedly and turned her head away.
"Luo Ning, come on!" Xu Mo, who was in deep thought, ignored the jealousy of the two beauties and greeted the mage.
"Cole?" Luo Ning walked up to Xu Mo in surprise.
"Do you have ...... on your body? Such an item! Xu Mo leaned closer and said softly.
"Yes, yes, what do you want to do?" Ronin frowned.
"Give us an insurance policy!" Xu Mo looked at the lake quietly, squinted his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
After a while, everyone began to get back on the road, and this time everyone's mood was much more relaxed, not as nervous and serious as when they first entered the tunnel. At this time, they could already confirm that Xu Mo's plan was feasible, this treasure vault secret passage had indeed not been discovered by the orcs, and judging from the time and direction ahead, they were getting closer and closer to the core area of Grimbaatar.
……
During the journey, Luo Ning suddenly felt something strange around him, and when he looked back, he found that the dwarf girl who was originally beside him was gone. The mage was taken aback, and quickly looked the way she came, and found Amira crouched in a corner of the tunnel, muttering to herself with her head down.
Ronin breathed a sigh of relief and turned back and walked towards Amira. Xu Mo instructed him to take care of this dwarf girl. If this time, if he makes another mistake and loses people, no one else will say anything, and the mage himself will immediately dig a pit and bury himself in it.
"Amira, what are you doing?" Ronin walked up to Amira's side, and when he noticed that Amira was pulling something in the corner, he immediately crouched down curiously, wanting to take a closer look at the dwarf girl's strange behavior.
"Shh Amy stretched out a fleshy finger and put it to her mouth, and shrugged mysteriously.
"What is this?" Ronin looked curiously at a small ring that Amira pulled out of the corner of the tunnel wall.
The ring is bronze and looks very ancient, about the size of a bracelet, and the surface of the ring is carved with ancient symbols. The ring was covered with moss and weeds, and Amira had been pulling it for a long time and only half of it was exposed.
"Hey, I think I've seen this ancient symbol in the Great Library of Dalaran, what does it mean?" Ronin knocked on his head, pondering, he felt very familiar with this symbol.
The curiosity of the research scholar made him forget about the other companions in front of him for a while, they were not far in front of him anyway, and it shouldn't matter if he delayed for a minute. The mage's subconscious thought so.
"Amira, what is this?" Luo Ning touched the bronze surface of the copper ring and felt the texture of the symbol.
"Humph!" The dwarf girl turned her head angrily, and as soon as Ronin came, she dominated the ring, and she became a spectator, which made her a little unhappy. In addition, although the little guy only has the mind of a child, she has vaguely discovered along the way that Luo Ning is the same as her, and she is the object of protection.
In the mind of the dwarf girl, Xu Mo was the adult left by Kegan's nephew to protect her, and he couldn't help but listen to his words. The two beauties have participated in battles many times along the way and also belong to the ranks of adults. Only this human mage who plays soy sauce is a child like her, everyone has the same status, and she doesn't have to give face.
Ronin didn't pay attention to the dwarven girl's silent protest, he didn't think of himself as a child. Besides, the symbol on this brass ring, he has indeed seen it, and he should be able to remember it. The mage reached out and grabbed the ring, trying to take it to his eyes, but found that he couldn't pick it up.
"Well, it should be buried in moss and weeds!" The mage grunted and tugged hard at the brass ring, not noticing that Amira's eyes widened and opened to remind him of something.
This time, the brass ring was finally lifted up by the mage, and a thin rusty iron chain was attached to it underneath. Before Ronin could take a closer look at the brass ring, he felt empty under his feet, and the stone slab under his and Amira's feet flipped over, and both of them fell into the pit under the stone slab.
After they fell, the slab flipped back into place, and silence was restored except for the brass ring.
"I remember, those symbols are ancient dwarven language, which means ......" The mage in the fall hugged the dwarf girl tightly, and thought with a sad face, "The next time I see Cole, will they be chopped up and boiled into soup!" ”
