"Hehe, now you know that exploring the Shadows isn't fun, right?" While camping, Jilimu unceremoniously teased Qin Lun and the others, "However, there is no way now, they have already arrived here." We will not return to the camp until the supplies are exhausted! ”

"I really don't know how those prehistoric dark elves adapted when they were just expelled from the surface into the dark region!" Mastasha smiled wryly and muttered, "If I were in this environment, it wouldn't take me a month to go insane." ”

"Do you think the Drow elves are free of mental disorders and mental distortions now?" Idria rolled her eyes and couldn't help but say.

"However, I would like to tell you good news, according to several prospecting experts in the team, we should be not far from the mining area of the Miyin Hall." Lorraine leaned over to the campfire and said mysteriously.

"That's good!" The dwarf's words relieved everyone, including the apostles.

In fact, the surprise came sooner than everyone expected, and on the afternoon of the next day, several prospecting experts who were exploring in front came with good news, and the exploration team had reached the periphery of the Miyin Hall mining area!

"It's a hard place to get around!" The female apostle of Weiss's team propped up her staff, hunched over and panting. Among all of them, her physique was the worst, not even as good as the black-robed mage.

As for the other women in the team, Elistin is a druid, don't look at the appearance of softness and weakness, but every druid has a very high physique, they are close to nature, they are used to living alone in the forest, how can the physique be bad.

Mastasia is a highland elf, she was born in a high mountain and rocky land, and her physique is comparable to that of a female barbarian, otherwise other elves would not call them barbarians.

Needless to say, Idria's profession is a knight, and she is still a believer in Laurita, and any painful experience will be regarded by her as a tempering of her own faith.

"Need a hand, Miss Lolita!" Qin Lun glanced back at her and smiled very gentlemanly.

After the joint battle of the nezumi tribe, the apostles of the two teams have a lot of harmony, and everyone gets to know each other again. The female apostle of Weiss's team is called Lolita, the black-robed mage is called Romon, the shield guard is called Newton, and the thief nicknamed the monkey is called Biba.

The priestess shook her head and declined, as a second-order apostle, she had her own pride, but she didn't want to be a burden to the team.

However, this cannot be blamed on the poor health of the female pastor, it is really that the path that the exploration team is taking now is too bumpy.

They are now walking on a winding "mountain road", which is said to be a mountain road, but in fact there is no road at all, only a little better than climbing a cliff. Everyone was using their hands and feet together, stepping on the bumpy rocks that were less than a foot under their feet to climb up, some of the footholds were even the size of palms, and some of the corners were even suspended in the air.

If it weren't for the fact that the members of the exploration team were all professionals, and there were legendary powerhouses and druids to take care of them at all times, it is estimated that several would have fallen to their deaths a long time ago.

The terrain of the dark region is much more complex than the surface, and Qin Lun has long lost his sense of direction when he has come to this point. Overall, the topography of this dark area gives them the feeling of a group of huge bubbles forming between the rock formations.

Some of these bubbles were as vast as plains, while others were like blowholes in cheese, like the nezumi cave they had seen. These bubbles and the tunnels that connect them make up the landscape of this dark region.

They are now climbing up the edge of a large bubble, but fortunately this is not a 90-degree cliff, or a concave arch, otherwise it would be more difficult.

According to Lorraine, after climbing this rock formation, you should be able to find a mining area in the Secret Silver Hall. With the materials that the exploration team has brought so far, they will probably be able to find a future camp in the mining area.

This camp will play an important role in the eventual defeat of the Shadow Dragons and the Grey Dwarves and the capture of the Silver Hall. On the apostles' side, as long as one of Gillim and Lorraine confirmed the Secret Silver Hall mine and returned safely to their previous camp, their mission would be complete.

To everyone's surprise, the rock formation in front of them did not make it to the top. The dwarven prospecting expert who led the way in front of him, when he was about to see the top of the rock, actually led the team into a deep tunnel.

This tunnel was tortuous and narrow, and the members of the exploration team could almost only crawl on the ground to advance, and even Qin Lun began to secretly complain.

The two elven beauties in the team turned even bluer and began to babble nonsense. All they felt was that the narrow rock walls around them felt as if they were about to collapse and bury everyone alive.

Qin Lun sighed, gave Rand a look at the person behind him, and each knocked out Mastasia and Elistine, these two beauties obviously showed signs of claustrophobia. If they continue to climb down the tunnel, it will leave a big psychological shadow in the future.

The tunnel of this rock formation was a little damp, and after Qin Lun climbed for a while, he only felt wet and uncomfortable. Luckily, the road wasn't too long, and after climbing almost a few hundred meters, the tunnel finally began to widen, and a huge stalactite cave appeared in front of it.

The area of this cave is huge, Qin Lun looked at it, and preliminarily estimated the size of a football field, and the surrounding rock walls were connected with more than ten large and small tunnels.

"My head hurts!" Elistine, who was caught in Qin Lun's armpit, rubbed his head and woke up, looking around blankly.

However, the elven druid soon came to his senses and stood up with a red face.

"Hey, there's windy nearby!" The female elf, who was very sensitive to the wind element, exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, it seems that the dwarves are not far from their destination!" Looking at the chattering and excited dwarves in front of him, Qin Lun had a premonition of something, and said with a smile.

"Filar, we've found it!" It turned out that Qin Lun's hunch was right, and Lorraine quickly ran over with an excited face.

"Did you find a fork in the road to the mine?" The apostles, including Qin Lun, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, although it has not been confirmed yet, two of the tunnels in this cave show signs of 'heavy water' burning!" Lorraine grinned.

"Heavy water?" Qin Lun was a little puzzled, the professional words in the dwarves' mouths couldn't even translate the specific meaning of the broken starry sky, so of course he didn't understand.

"Oh, heavy water is the ore solvent that we use for initial processing after we collect the ore." Lorraine didn't care, and explained it to Qin Lun and the other companions who listened with their ears pricked up.

"When some of the ore that has just been dug up is too large to be broken with a pickaxe, we use heavy water to melt away the impurities." Lorraine shrugged her shoulders and continued, "However, heavy water is very corrosive, and usually the channels that drain it leave indelible marks, and this is the case in the tunnels here. ”

"Will it be dangerous?" Weiss, who was steady by nature, hurriedly asked.

"No, although there will be some poisonous gas after the heavy water volatilizes, our ancestors paid attention to the ventilation conditions." Lorraine said confidently, "Besides, those two tunnels have been abandoned for hundreds of years, and there will be heavy water left." ”

"Ferral!" After discussing with the ore prospecting expert, Gillim walked from a distance with a relaxed face, "Moradin is on top, thank you for your help along the way, we are finally going to succeed!" ”

"This is what we should do!" Qin Lun responded modestly.

"Filar, I apologize to you for the original misunderstanding, and your efforts along the way have been seen by all the dwarves." The old dwarf looked pleased, blowing his beard and shouting, "You are as contrived as all elves, but when your friends really need you, you are sincere!" ”

"Lord Gillym, should I apologize for that?" Qin Lun smiled bitterly and touched his nose, the dwarf's words sounded more sarcastic than praised.

"Call me Gillym, all the shield dwarves are your friends, Feral!" The appearance of the old dwarf eating his beard and staring at him made people feel simple and cute for the first time.

"Alright, Gillym!" Qin Lun nodded with a smile and asked tentatively, "After finding the Secret Silver Hall Mining Area, when do you plan to attack the Secret Silver Hall?" ”

"It's up to Bruno, but I don't think it's going to be that fast." The old dwarf pondered for a moment, but decided to tell him frankly, "There are not only shadow dragons in the Secret Silver Hall, but also the gray dwarf king and an entire gray dwarf tribe, and the next may be a war that will last for several months. ”

The old dwarf shook his head, as if to shake off all his worries, and said with a smile, "You'd better not get involved in the rest of the matter." Your friendship with the shield dwarves is enough for the Dwarven King to consider an alliance with the Anker Elven Court. After all, elves were the allies of the dwarves in the fight against evil in ancient times, and we have never forgotten that. ”

"Gillim, have you forgotten, you just said that I am sincere with my friends." Qin Lun said with a calm face, "If you think that I have done so many things just for the sake of forming an alliance, you will inevitably look down on me too much. Whatever my purpose, at least when it comes to helping my friends, I will stay the course, even if it takes my life. ”

Joke! Qin Lun's efforts so far are not just for the front branch of an epic plot, he is also counting on being able to get the world token again, and then come back to complete the plot of the Secret Silver Hall in the future!

Despite the breakthrough of the expedition, the dwarves did not let the joy get carried away. Everyone's energy was drained by today's exploration, and they planned to rest in the cave for a day before exploring the tunnel, which was full of heavy water corrosion marks.

Twelve hours passed, and the exploration team packed up again and entered the tunnel that was believed to be a heavy water canal.

On the surface of the tunnel, Qin Lun found many slender pits, which really looked like traces of corrosive liquid flowing through. The tunnel, which the dwarves called the Heavy Aqueduct, was not very long, but at the edge of the exit of the tunnel, several dwarves who were exploring the path ahead suddenly hurried back.

After receiving the report, Gillymu's face quickly became solemn and walked towards Qin Lun.

"Gillym, what's wrong?" Qin Lun's heart sank, and he faintly felt that what he was worried about a few days ago had happened.

"Filar, I need your help!" The old dwarf spoke, looking at one of the apostles behind him. I527
