Through the persuasion of the dark elf Raven, the minotaur tribe accepted the olive branch offered by the dwarves. After the most pressing things have passed, the exploration team begins to treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield.

"Hey, where's Ferral?" The light shout from Elistin in the distance made Hill and Rand face tense, they turned their heads to look around, and sure enough, they found that Qin Lun, who was still in the hall at the time of the battle, was gone.

"I didn't notice, and it would have been easy for him to get away from us." Seeing Rand's puzzled eyes, Hill waved his hand.

The events in the hall brought the members of the exploration team together again. Under mutual questioning, no one noticed Qin Lun's traces.

"If you're looking for a silver-haired human......" The dwarves' loud discussion caught the attention of a small minotaur. The little one poked his head out from behind a tall adult minotaur and stared at the crowd with wide, watery eyes.

Since it was born, it had never seen an elf, only thought it was a handsome male human.

"Little one, do you know where Ferrar has gone?" Gillim shouted loudly, startled by the old dwarf's loud voice, and the little head of the young minotaur "swished" and shrank back.

"Ignore that old fellow, little friend, if you've ever seen that silver-haired elf, can you sue us?" Mastasia glared at the old dwarf, causing him to retreat in amazement.

With the encouragement of the adult minotaur, the baby minotaur finally stood up with a red face and a cower.

"That man...... Oh, elf, he had been squatting on the ground with his head covered just now, as if he was very uncomfortable, and when he got up, he went straight there! The little minotaur said, pointing to the portal they had come out of earlier.

"Where does that portal lead?" Elistine's face changed, and he grabbed Raven's arm and asked.

"That's the straight path of the maze, and there are no trap walls along the way, so you can go straight to the rear exit of the maze." The person who answered was an adult minotaur, who spoke in a slow, muffled voice.

"Why is he going alone?" Elistine was a little lost.

"Maybe he's going to the front first." Idria took two steps forward, took her in her arms, and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, we'll find out later." Gillim frowned and beckoned to Lorraine, "You stay, after meeting the prospectors in the back, survey the location where you can set up an outpost camp nearby, and we will go to the front to explore the road first." Arrange for a few more warriors to send the two dark elves back to the surface cavern. ”

"Let's go!" With Gillym's order, more than a dozen people who had just finished the battle set out on the journey again.

"Monkey, you go with those two dark elves, and when you get to the surface, remember to leave their maps behind." Weiss instructed in the team channel, hesitated, and still asked Hill, "What's wrong with Qin Lun?" ”

"He's got a little trouble, but it won't affect our mission." Hill smiled and replied, "Don't worry, this mission is now done and is close to completion." When that's done, you can go back to the stars without worrying about us. ”

"That's for the best!" Weiss glanced at Hill meaningfully, he already realized that something might be wrong with Qin Lun.

However, as Hill said, this task has been completed now, and it doesn't matter if Qin Lun and the three of them don't continue to cooperate. They got everything they deserved, even if the two sides tore their faces immediately, at least the plot characters would not help Qin Lun and the three of them to besiege and kill their companions, and they didn't have to worry about anything.

The Labyrinth Hall is located in the heart of the labyrinth, and it took several days for the exploration team to reach it from the entrance. But without the barrier of the trap wall, when they saw the exit at the back of the labyrinth, it only took half a day.

Along the way, they couldn't see Qin Lun's figure, as a hunter, Qin Lun had the highest agility attribute in addition to perception. Most of the members of the exploration team are short-legged dwarves, and of course they can't catch up with him.

"Where can he go without a dwarven expert to find his way ahead?" Elistine's face was full of worry.

"Ciel, is he still not responding to your telepathy?" The elven druid looked at Ciel expectantly. It's just that the latter's silence soon made her understand the answer.

Of course, Hill tried to call Qin Lun on the team channel, but the other party didn't respond at all.

Although Qin Lun was not seen at the exit of the labyrinth, the dwarf exploration team would not stop for this. While they explored their surroundings, they continued to search for Qin Lun.

Although at this time, the dwarven ore prospecting experts were still in the rear, assisting Lorraine in surveying the location of the outpost camp, but when they arrived in this area, all the dwarves in the team basically had a premonition that the mining area of the Secret Silver Hall was near here.

"We're almost there." A dwarven axe-thrower crouching on the ground stood up, rubbing his fingers together and showing a splash of yellow powder from his fingertips.

"This is cooked sulfur, a mineral additive that we dwarves use all the time in the process of mining, smelting, forging, etc." "These powders can be found everywhere in the shallow soil of this area, and they are emitted during the blasting process and melt into the plains with air circulation. ”

As the concentration of cooked sulfur progressively probed, the exploration party reached the edge of the Minotaur Plains at a slow but determined pace. Here, however, they had to stop, and in front of them was a deep ditch of unknown width, with a grayish-brown mist above it.

"In the past few hundred years, a new geological rift has been formed!" The dwarves looked at the bottomless ravine in front of them with amazement and delight.

The good news is that new geological fissures mean new, rare underground minerals. Every time the leylines shake, it is as if the cultivated land has been plowed again, and the "nutrients" deep underground will be turned up.

The surprise is that the new geological rift is very dangerous, no one knows what is underneath, and it takes a long time to explore it bit by bit. And the existence of this deep ditch is tantamount to putting a problem in front of everyone, and they can no longer move forward.

"Elder Gillym, please come here!" Just as the dwarves hesitated, Weiss's voice came from afar.

"What's wrong?" Although Qin Lun disappeared without a trace, the dwarves still maintained a lot of respect for the retinue of these elven princes, after all, they had also fought with the team until now.

"Look, there are traces of a hook here, and I think Prince Filar should go to the other side." Weiss said, pointing to a black boulder on the edge of the cliff.

"Filar does have a hook and chain, I'll transform into a giant eagle and go see it first." Elistin squatted down, his fingers stroking the claw marks, and a hint of gleam appeared on his face, "If the width of the ravine is not large, I will come back and carry you over with me." ”

"You have to think about it, we don't know if those gray-brown fogs are poisonous yet!" Mastasha frowned and persuaded.

"It's okay, I'll do what I can, and I'll come back if I can't hold on." Elistin said slowly with a determined expression, "No matter what happens to Ferral, I will save him back." ”

Idria opened her mouth to speak, but when she heard the words of the elf druid, she swallowed it back.

Maybe she didn't have the kind of affection that Elistine had for Qin Lun, but once when she was curled up in the troll's bamboo cage, about to be used as a sacrifice, and her heart was extremely desperate, the silver-haired elf ignored the danger, crossed the entire land of death, and descended from the sky like the legendary Prince Charming, pulling her and Elistin back from hell.

Even if he knew that Qin Lun wanted to save only one person, Elistine, she was just an incidental, but this kindness could not be ignored. Lady Lawetta is capricious, but as a Templar, loyalty is etched into her bones.

Idria silently removed a ruby ring from the middle finger of her right hand and shoved it into Illistine's hand.

"The Ring of Evil Spirits, which has a deterrent effect on poisonous and dark things, is one of the legacies I received in that ancestral tomb in Candle Castle." The female knight instructed lightly, "Find that bastard and bring him back!" ”

"I will." Elistin nodded heavily, turned into a giant eagle, and flew into the gray-brown mist.

Rand glanced at Weiss and the others in the distance with a gloomy face, "Hill, why don't you speak, no matter what Qin Lun has become, since he chooses to leave us, he will not deliberately leave such traces." ”

"Would it be useful to explain to a woman who is trapped in love and can't extricate herself?" Ciel said expressionlessly, "Weiss only saw this, so he deliberately let the elf druid explore the way for us, otherwise, how would the mission continue." ”

Luckily, the fears didn't happen, and Elistin returned about half an hour later.

"This deep underground trench is about 300 meters wide, and there are some towering stone pillars in the center that can be used as footholds." The elven druid said with joy on his face, "I found some crushed gravel on one of the pillars, and Feral went to the opposite side. ”

What a surprise! Hill and Rand glanced at each other, and Weiss and the others were also wrong.

"In addition, I also found a man-made mine cave in the middle of the cliff on the opposite side." Elistin said with a smile, "Judging by the rusty minecart rails at the mouth of the tunnel, it is very old. If nothing else, it should belong to one of the tunnels in the Secret Silver Hall Mining District. ”

"Wow~~" The dwarves beat their chests and raised the axe in their hands and roared to the sky. After nearly half a year or so of exploration, they are finally only one step away from success.

"You're not in any danger, are you?" Compared to the ecstatic dwarves, Idria cares more about her companions.

"It's very smooth, the fog that hangs over the deep ditch is not poisonous, but the smell is a little pungent. You'd better cover yourself with a damp cloth, and I'll take turns leading you there. Illistin looked back at the gray fog with a determined gaze, "This time, I won't let you run away alone." ”

She didn't want to delay for half a second, if it weren't for her, everyone would have to risk jumping those stone pillars, and she was afraid that she would go directly to track Qin Lun's whereabouts. I1292
