The rocks that were bounced off and rolled aside were not large, each one only about half a human's height in diameter. The stones themselves are nothing special, except for the orange-red veins that glow with temperature like blood vessels all over their surface. and certain organs with biological characteristics that slowly protrude from the rocks as the potential energy in the body disappears.

It may not be accurate to say that it is an organ, because no one can associate the column-like bodies that appear to be made entirely of broken stones with the limbs of animals. However, the situation is different when the two stones use the pillars that protrude from the inside to straighten their bodies in a certain direction and open an orange eye from the confluence of all the orange-red veins.

"Stone Man. Cheese whispered their names.

The name Stone Man is a translation of the meaning of the human being, and its original text comes from the ancient language of the dwarves, which originally meant the eye in the stone. A creature that even the Children of the Hill have mostly heard of, and according to the legend of the miners, the Stone Men only live in the depths of the ground, and their presence often indicates the presence of dangerous lava rivers nearby.

Dwarves will voluntarily exit the mines when they encounter this strange creature, and they will see the encounter with the stone people as a warning from the earth, and the eyes that open from the stones will also carry a warning in the culture of the dwarves.

But in any case, the stone man should not be here. Their range of activity and habits are destined to be devoid of life on the surface, and there have never been reports of encountering stone people on the ground in history, and they rarely intersect with surface creatures.

There are often deep-seated reasons behind the abnormalities of things, and as for the abnormalities that happen here, I am afraid that the cause can be attributed to the children of the evil gods. The generation of rocks is itself unnatural, and from the unnatural rocks there are stone figures that should not appear, and the two are unreasonable to add up, and the inside may be reasonable. Perhaps it was because this rocky field was forcibly moved to the surface that the stone people who originally lived here were brought over.

The problem is, no matter how entangled the rocks, stone people, and the heirs of the evil god are, these two angry stones with open eyes don't look like they're trying to reason with Cheese.

Whether or not the stone people were originally belligerent is now unknown, and there is no need to force it, because any creature will be aggressive, either out of fear or anger, when pushed to a certain point, and it is difficult to really tell the difference between the two.

This is also something that can't be helped, they will meet the sand shell people who come together because of common interests as soon as they meet, and they will also meet the stone people who will bring you life and death hatred as soon as they meet.

The only difference is that if the Sandshell is the hostile side, things may not be too troublesome, and Cheese has many ways to calm these restless children. But the development of things is a joke, and the anger of the stone man is not so easy to extinguish.

"Do you want to fight? They don't look very flexible, we should be able to run away. Wei Ya didn't know what the stone man in Cheese's mouth meant, and to be honest, in the current situation, she was willing to let go of her curiosity and choose to save herself to avoid this conflict.

Because it seemed to be a complete disaster, these grotesque stone one-eyed dragons were suddenly spewed out of the geyser and smashed in front of them, and made such a hostile gesture. Anyone who is faced with such a situation will not want to confront them head-on, it is too pointless. The wild dogs on the side of the difficult road are baring their teeth at you, are you going to rush up and kill them as quickly as possible?

Luo Luo looked at the gray robe, and could tell from her eyes that she was supporting the female mage's point of view, they were already half of the lost members, but they had not yet seen the shadow of the target. Anything that could have increased casualties should have been avoided, and if it weren't for Cheese's usual composure and effortless stance, she would have even begun to advise the team to turn around and leave.

Grey robe, silent. His gaze was fixed on the stone men, creatures who lived in rock formations deep underground, and who were not adept at maneuvering in the open and empty surface world. At human speed, they really don't pose a threat in the true sense of the word. But it's not just humans here.

Not only the gravel that was first hit on the sand shield, but everywhere the stone man passed, there were traces of heat burning on the ground. If the one-eyed wasn't an ornament, they wouldn't have noticed another group of spectators here, the Sandhusks.

When they all burrow back into the sand, will the stone men give up the pursuit? Those stone people are also underground dwellers, if they go deep into the sandbar with a body that is strong enough to melt the sand, the society of the sand shell people will inevitably be severely damaged.

"We have to fight, and we have to do it quickly. Cheese took off his hood, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying glow of magic. More than half of the team members were lost, his teammates were tired, and of course he knew better, who was responsible. These stone men implicated their anger on them, so it is no wonder that he took out some of this hostility on the other party as well.

The gray robe began to shake in the mood swings of its owner, and the emblem of the lantern rat behind it seemed to be alive. The pure natural environment was not suitable for a spellcaster like Cheese to cast spells, but just now Wei Ya's sand shield gave him inspiration, and his hand slapped against the ground, and the sand was disturbed by the invisible force, resulting in a noticeable depression.

It is not easy and efficient to use magic to directly affect things in the outside world. Fortunately, the scattered and soft nature of the sand made it much easier for the gray robe to do. Cheese controlled the depression, and as he quickly turned his wrist, the depression flowed as if a chopstick was stirring, and a funnel-shaped vortex quickly appeared, and it was still spinning inside.

Luo Luo and Wei Ya looked at the bunker, and they both felt a little puzzled. They didn't quite understand Cheese's intentions, and if he wanted to create a bunker to use as a trap, he would just let Wei Ya do it, as the Sculptor was better at doing that.

Even if he chose to take action himself in order to save Wei Ya's physical strength, then this sand pit would have already been completed, so why keep stirring it? You know, with the collapse of the sand particles around him, the sand pit that was originally waist-deep is becoming gentle, didn't the gray robe notice this?

Cheese didn't seem to be noticing, and could even feel that he was deliberately turning the sharp inverted conical bunker into a bowl-shaped pit with a rounded underside. Beads of sweat began to appear on his head, and that was because the act in front of him was not a magic that was cast through a certain spell medium, but purely he was using magic to clumsily imitate Wei Ya's actions, and he was forcefully stirring the sand.

Finally, when the two stone figures were less than ten paces away from his bunker, a satisfied expression appeared on the gray-robed face. He pushed his hand forward, and the rolling sand pit headed towards the stone man as if it had come to life, trapping the two slow-moving creatures in it.

But what's the use of that? they can climb out of such shallow potholes, and the difficulty of climbing quicksand is immediately lost in the face of the high temperature that can melt them, and the scattered sand particles will be dissolved into a viscous molten slurry. But looking at Cheese's expression, he couldn't help but worry about the effect of his spell, and he looked relaxed, which meant that his move had been completed, and the spell had been completed.

"Look at them, Yoni. You have to understand that casting a spell doesn't mean that we have to make a draft, prepare our bows, and shoot at the enemy. Casting means that we are going to deal with our target at the right time, in the most appropriate way, and in the most appropriate way. Treating spells as instruments of death is a desecration of the art of spellcasting. ”

The apprentice blinked, he didn't really understand the words of the mentor. But he could still see the scene in front of him. I saw that after the two stone men were swept into the sand pit, they did not climb out as quickly as others expected. Instead, the clockwise flow of sand in the bunkers temporarily throws them off balance. They were originally stone-shaped, but although they had more hands and feet at this time, they were still round as a whole. It's not so easy to stop.

"Gollum, Gollum!" came out of the bunker with a rolling sound of inertia, which was strange.

The sound was not like two stones rolling down in the sand, but like two iron balls spinning in a copper plate. Cheese made a gesture of invitation to his companions and led them closer to the bunker, and the two ladies hesitated, but followed behind the grey robe. They walked a few steps to the source of the sound and saw the current situation in the bunker.

I saw that the funnel originally composed of sand grains had somehow turned into a rough glass-like material, and because of inertia, the two stone figures rotated rapidly in this cage one after the other, without the slightest momentum to stop.

"Their own high temperature melts the sand, the swirling quicksand brings in a cool breeze, and the melted sand cools and turns into glass. The steel balls on the glass can roll for a long time. With a few spells, this period can be extended for a long time. And the more they roll, the faster. The smoother the glass will be, the easier it will rotate on its own. I think they'll be able to play here at least until next year. ”
