In the next second, a huge head poked out from the edge of the boulder, covered with fine scales, shaped like a lizard, the size of Hicks's entire body. This was followed by a stubby neck and a huge chain around his shoulders and neck.

The moment he saw the underground alien race, Hicks felt familiar, and when he recalled it carefully, he remembered that he had seen the description of the first pass in the records of the clan and in the materials of the dwarven council. It is a sapient creature that lives in the underworld, and in the few cases of contact, a small number of them are friendly, and most of them are extremely hostile to the god's pet beast.

Regardless of the information, now that you see these creatures, you undoubtedly indicate that you are in the underworld. In this case, it is not impossible to return to the surface without the help of air magic.

According to secret documents and legends, there are two ways home that can be completed on both feet.

One is the coincidental underground passages that lead to the surface, some of which exit to the bottom of the sea, others on the island. The latter is where cases of contact with the underground aliens come from.

But this kind of channel can obviously only be found by luck, and it is obviously not reliable.

The second is through the forbidden land. This forbidden place is not only the homecoming of the requiem of the gods' pet beasts, but also the place where the ancestors of the gods' pet beasts such as 'Leti' and 'Chaya' are located. And according to the description, it is at the junction of the underground world and the surface world.

And then the moths appeared here. When the distressed see the hope of returning home, their hearts will inevitably fluctuate. Although he didn't exclaim in surprise, he was also out of breath.

Although the subtle sound did not attract the attention of the underground aliens, it attracted a small camel beast that seemed to be a juvenile. The little one is crooked out of the line pulling his companions, like a grain of grain growing on an ear of wheat, or a husky running to the side of the road in a dog sled team.

Hicks shouted bad luck and was ready to respond, but there was also a chance that something would happen. The underground alien chaser first screamed, but immediately realized that something was wrong, and turned into a sharper warning shout.

'If you let my mother be unlucky, then I can't blame you.' Thinking so, Hicks grabbed the little camel by the neck. First, he turned around and hid in his lower abdomen to avoid possible attacks. At the same time, he used the qi magic ability that only left about two rings to create a small spatial crack, and cut off all the reins and other things that bound the small camel beast. Finally, he dressed in a small camel beast and rushed into the camel beast team.

I have to say that the dwarf still has an advantage in size, just like now, hiding in the lower belly of a small camel beast, it is completely covered. There are no foreign objects on the front and back sides, and there are no strange protrusions overall.

At first glance, the small camel beast seemed to be frightened, and there was no difference between it and the others, except for its retrograde. This caused the other underground aliens who had received the warning but did not see Hicks to hesitate slightly before picking up their weapons and stabbing down from the van.

This brief hesitation also gave Hicks enough opportunity to easily get around the boulder. Only here was the end of the line, and only the last two wagons were left behind the boulder, both of which were pulled by small camel beasts. Hicks messed up the crawling six-legged creatures again, and then he changed his crawling behavior to the cat's waist and ran quickly, then straightened his waist and ran wildly in the opposite direction of the alien team.

And in this way, the target naturally became obvious, and all kinds of low-ring-level spatial cracks and fireball magic were beckoned.

Hicks felt the intensity of these attacks a little through the body of the small camel beast that had long since died, and felt that he was really making a big fuss about these underground creatures. And if you think about it, you can also understand that those who can come to the surface alive must be strong, and the vast grassroots must be full of miscellaneous fish.

Thinking of this, Hicks simply shook his hand and threw away the small camel beast on his back. But then he put it back on, and it was obviously a good meal, and at the same time he thought to himself: 'Don't complain about bad luck, who makes you curious.' ’

In just a dozen seconds, Hicks disappeared into the winding corner at the bottom of the canyon. Several underground alien races also saw the difference in strength, so they naturally didn't dare to chase after it.

In fact, if Hicks had just panicked and chose to flee to the front of the group, it would not have been so easy. Of course, this reason is very simple, in Hicks's mind, since the large camel beast is at the front of the team, the master is likely to be there. Or is it safer to flee from the rear. And the team is fully loaded, it should be the return journey, since the direction of the team must have a stronghold and the like, running over and being attacked back and forth, isn't it self-defeating.

And it was just as Hicks had predicted. The leader who was sitting in the front row listened to the report while calming the camel beast, and then it became clear that there was just an 'unknown creature' on the side of the road, grabbed a camel beast and fled in a hurry. Its hands and feet do not have scales but long hair, which is extremely strange.

The leader of the six rings of the water system was well-informed in the tribe, but he had never heard of such a creature. After pondering for a moment, he confirmed the magical strength and whereabouts of the unknown creature, and finally chose to be cautious, and let the two subordinates go to hunt down, regardless of life or death. After all, the mushroom breeding base here is also a small secret in the clan, so it's better not to expose it casually. As for himself, of course, he will continue to lead the team and complete the primary task goal of transporting goods, so as not to divert the tiger from the mountain.

And the two underground aliens who received the order immediately set off. They are all five-ring water system magic warriors, one is older, called Ramis, who has a broken arm and is blind in one eye, but with the six-ring in sight, these injuries will be nothing. The other is younger, called Lepi, who has been in the fifth ring for about half a year, and the color of his scales is very pleasing in the clan, which is a handsome guy in another sense. And the two underground aliens are still a little related, and they can be considered a tacit understanding after a few years of partnering.

The tracking process was easy at first, just following the blood dripping from the camel. But it was only a few hundred meters, and the bloodstains were completely gone, and the two aliens disagreed about it.

The young Leppi felt that it was just a drain of blood, and it was good to chase it with all his might in the direction of the vibrations coming from the ground. The older Ramis thought it was an unknown creature that had discovered it and deliberately concealed its traces. In this way, it is necessary to exercise caution to avoid overturning.

And after a little argument, we come to the core question, whether this unknown creature that is 'missing two hands' has wisdom or not. Whether it's a never-before-seen beast that accidentally enters, or some other intelligent life, or even a disabled and sick kind.

After all, in terms of human society, during the period of ignorance, patients with strange symptoms were often 'mythical' or 'demonized' and classified as inhuman.

However, without the actual object in a cage for verification, these discussions are destined to be inconclusive. The two underground aliens quickly realized this and put an end to the discussion by betting on a free big health treatment.

A few minutes after the conversation ended, the two underground aliens slowed down, leaned over the ground, felt the ground vibrations more closely, and then confirmed that the source of the vibration not far ahead was gone.

A simple conjecture is that the other party stops to rest, and a more complicated possibility is that the other party detects the pursuers and sets up an ambush. As for spatial teleportation, it was completely out of the consideration of the two underground alien races. After all, the one who can play this hand is at least the six rings of the qi system, and then it's a fart.

"You're behind me, ten lengths. ”

"Understood. ”

The older Ramis silently and slowly moved towards the place where the vibration had disappeared, while his two upper arms clenched his spear, his lower arms pulling out his short blades from behind his waist, and a slender tail swaying slightly from side to side with his steps.

The younger and younger Leppi stared at his partner in front of him, subconsciously pulling an immature glowing mushroom from the rock wall on his side and stuffing it into his mouth to relieve the tension in his heart.

According to the information provided by those subordinates, the other party is a four-ring. And the difference is not an absolute advantage, and then consider the possibility of the opponent desperately counterattacking. It's a little bit bad here, and it's normal to lose some parts. And I don't want to become a disability that doesn't attract the opposite sex.

In this way, the two underground aliens cautiously moved forward one after the other, bypassing the two boulders on the side of the road, but found nothing. Lepi looked at the top of the canyon suspiciously, but to no avail, and tried to ask, but was stopped by Ramis with a gesture. The latter pointed to his ears.

Lepi understood, listened intently, and sure enough, he heard a 'chirping' sound. Comparing it in detail, it is as if someone is eating next door, and the effect of chewing and biting sound is weakened by the wall. Ramis had found the source of the sound, behind a rock wall overgrown with mushrooms.

The two underground aliens both felt strange and didn't understand how the target was hidden, but after a brief exchange of sign language and eye contact, they reached a tacit understanding, no matter how they broke through the wall.

Lepi took a half step back, spun around, and nodded. Ramis moved his arms slightly, then twisted his body, braced himself on the ground with three hands, lifted a pair of thick thighs, aimed at the approximate position of the rock wall, and kicked it up.

This is a big fuss, the rock wall is much more fragile than expected, not to mention the bricks, which are simply the thickness of a brochure. After all, Hicks's qi magic was only two rings left, and it was already the limit to use the experience of the eight rings to reach this level of short-distance teleportation.

And under such excessive force, there are unexpected benefits. As the cruxy of the rock wall popsicle cracked, a pair of thick legs stabbed directly into the small space. Caught Hicks, who was 'eating', by surprise, and was hit without dodging at all. One kick grabs the small camel's wrist, and the other kicks it in the cheek. Not only kicked out a few teeth, but also knocked them unconscious.

Ramis had a slight 'dodge' feeling, and he didn't have time to check the results, so he cautiously rolled to the side, not only to avoid a possible counterattack, but also to slow down the slight discomfort in his waist and legs.

Lepi approached with his weapon raised, squinting his eyes to see through the faint cloud of smoke.

What he saw was Hicks' embarrassed image. Because he was eating raw flesh and blood, he was unfortunately kicked in the cheek, and the condition on his face was blurred with flesh and blood, which was no different from a beast at all.

He stabbed lightly with the tip of the spear, but he didn't get anything in return, so he laughed twice and said, "It's done, I'll just say it's just a beast that accidentally broke into the farm, it's simple and easy." ”

"Beasts can play dead. Ramis said simply, and stabbed his spear at his throat.

There was a crisp sound on the ground, and Lepige opened this killing move. "Just break your limbs, this is something you've never seen before, a rare beast that can do magic. It's good to bring it back to everyone for a long time, and maybe you can go to the city to buy it at a good price. ”

"Makes sense. Hearing that there is money to be made, Ramis, who knows that life is not easy, has also changed his attitude and gone further. "Although it's the fourth ring, but the disabled thing doesn't look good, don't hurt it, let's spend some mental care. ”

As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun, and the storyline of a farmer hunter encountering a shipwrecked monster is staged here. After all, if you don't know that the other party has wisdom or threat, this is a routine operation.

The behavior of the next two underground aliens, although reasonable, was also somewhat embarrassing from an objective point of view, that is, undressing, and there was a discussion about whether these rotten clothes were born with this 'beast'. And the topic is gradually progressing in a more curious direction.

"I'll just say it's not self-contained, you can see that it didn't bleed when it was torn off. Leppi laughed.

"You're right. But it's really strange that there is long hair all over my body. And this pattern, it's pretty beautiful. What's the matter with these two soft stuffs? hydration bladders?"

"Who knows, but the two holes down there are and peeing, yes, it's about the same as us. ”

Ramis leaned in and sniffed. "It smells bad, it shouldn't be bad. ”

"Hey, don't you think 'it'' is getting redder. ”

"It's just blood. ”

Two underground aliens with seven hands, carrying chickens to and fro, fiddled with the 'prey' over and over again, and at the same time judged the head, and finally confirmed the general situation. But just as they were about to turn back, a sudden change occurred.

Hicks opened his eyes suddenly, and according to the plan of action he had prepared when he pretended to be unconscious, he twisted and pulled the arm of the weaker underground alien, and as soon as he rolled over, he rode on the neck. And two people stacked together, whether they cooperate with the practice or not, they naturally fall to the ground.

And this down, but also luckily allowed Hicks to dodge the attack of another underground alien, and according to the plan, his fingers clasped the throat caught under the crotch, and the nails broke through the fine scales, and blood spilled. At the same time shouted:

"Don't come here, or I'll kill him. ”

Ramis could not understand the dwarven language, but some things only required eye contact to understand the frame. A little more tentative action can lead to an initial exchange.

For example, when he stepped forward slightly, the other party really shouted again, and the claws that grabbed his partner's throat were also deeper, and there was more blood. Withdrawing a little bit will alleviate that.

"Help me. Lepi cried out in horror.

"Shut up, silly beep. Ramis replied angrily.
