Chapter 722
The monster was getting closer and closer, and Zeratul held his breath in terror.
The monster was made of rock, but its body structure was not quite the same as that of humans and Hellfire. This guy looks like he's been layered with huge boulders, and at the end heaps heaps them into a rough statue. Although he looks stupid, he is very flexible in his actions. Zeratul realized that if they were discovered, they might not even have a chance to escape.
The stone golem stopped suddenly, as if inspecting the area. It has two black holes in its head, which are supposed to be its eyes. Its eyes looked at the place where the two were hiding, and seemed full of interest...... But the monster didn't notice them, and continued on his way.
This guy is definitely the guardian of the disc. It took two more steps, almost in front of Zeratul and the Zerg. The golem was as tall as a giant worm, and Zeratul stood in front of it like a human. Watching it lift its heavy feet and then fall again, Zeratul imagined himself crushed into a meatloaf.
The stone golem stood right in front of them, scrutinizing its surroundings. Zeratul finally understood that it seemed to sense their presence, but eventually it walked away, in the direction the two had come.
When the golem was far away, Zeratul and his companions crawled out of their hiding place.
"Do you think it'll ever come back?" Zeratul asked.
"Yes...... So we need to hurry. ”
They continued to scurry through the winding passages, the Star Spirit Clan pausing from time to time to confirm their bearings. There was even a time when the two of them were walking a few yards in the tunnel before Zeratul realized that he had led in the wrong direction.
Finally, they came to a narrow cave that Zeratul would never forget. He stood at the mouth of the cave for a moment, unable to believe that he had arrived at his destination.
"It's over there." The Star Spirit Clan stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone that was used to hide people's eyes, "It's to the right of that stone, to the left of that crack." ”
Apparently not knowing what he was referring to, he strapped his axe and said, "I listen to you." Zeratul. ”
However, getting the disc is not that simple. What is easy to do in the Void Dream Realm is even more difficult to change to the real world. Reaching the storage place of the soul of ten thousand insects requires a relentless climb up the wall, not to mention how dangerous it is.
They could still hear the hammer and the roar of black worms from time to time from the depths of the cave. Hearing these voices, the two couldn't help but hurriedly climb up. Zeratul was a little more agile and climbed ahead; Strong, with a lot of stamina, Kers quickly followed.
"Look—there's a cave to the bottom left of that stone," Zeratu cried, "and we can take advantage of—use the cave to rest." ”
"It's good." Berserker snorted.
Neither dared to look down. I'm afraid that I will lose my balance and fall down after watching it. The cave above seemed to beckon them, and it was not big, maybe just enough for the two of them.
Suddenly, Zeratul heard a distant and familiar voice speaking to him. Watch out for trolls!
After thinking for a moment, Zeratul realized that Crassus had just warned him with his mind. The Archon was still in contact with him, and Zeratul was not surprised by this, but the Archon's warning did not make sense at all. Trolls? Where are the trolls?
Suddenly, a small pinch of dust fell on his face and drifted into his eyes, causing him unbearable pain. He squeezed his eyes to get the dust away.
In the haze of tears, he saw a long head like a corpse, with a pair of ears similar to those of the Star Spirit Clan, and unkempt hair swaying on his forehead. Two long sallow yellow teeth poked out of his mouth.
A black glittering gemstone was embedded in the center of his forehead. This is undoubtedly the work of the tyrant worm god, who wants these guardians to be under his control forever. This guy is much taller than the Underground Elves, even taller than Zeratul. His dark red skin blended perfectly with the rock face.
"Hello, my dinner ......," the troll scoffed. He reached out to his majesty. Wants to push Zeratul off a wall.
Zeratul jerked his body back at this, the troll's sharp nails nearly cutting through his cheek. Zeratul tried to avoid him around the cave, but the troll was perched like a spider on the rock face. Closely followed by his prey.
At this moment, Brooks let out an angry roar, and out of the corner of his eye, Zeratul caught a glimpse of a troll emerging from beneath the Zerg. To make matters worse, two more trolls crawled out of the other holes and split up on the two intruders.
"You're going to have a very delicious dinner...... "the first troll scoffed, "eat your brains raw, and cook your hearts and liver into a specialty!" ”
He reached for Zeratul again, and this time he grabbed Zeratul's wrist. The troll used an astonishing force to tear him off the wall.
None of the spells that Zeratul had learned seemed to be of much use right now. He resisted and wanted to stay on the wall, his fingers gripping the wall so hard that he was sure that the flesh on his fingers would grind off.
At this moment, a scream came from below, distracting the troll. It turned out that Kers's dagger came in handy this time, and he stabbed into the shoulder of the troll who attacked him. The troll fell off the wall and fell to the ground with a thud. Unfortunately, the Zerg's dagger also fell.
The troll gripping Zeratul's wrist let out a howl and pulled even tighter. Zeratul struggled to cling to the wall when he noticed that a second troll had climbed up from underneath, apparently trying to pull Zeratul's feet away. If that happens, Zeratul has little chance of staying on it.
At this critical juncture, Zeratul noticed a small beetle crawling along the wall above the troll. Zeratul immediately focused his thoughts, silently praying that he would hold on a little longer.
Just as he had hoped, the beetle turned and crawled towards the ruthless foe of the Star Spirit Clan. What's more, other beetles also crawled out of the cracks in the rocks and gathered beneath the troll.
At first, the troll didn't feel anything was wrong, but soon the corpse-like creature began to writhe uncomfortably to his feet. He tried his best not to ignore what was happening, but in the end he couldn't stand it. The troll sizzled in his mouth, reluctantly let go of his hand, and began to slap the insects that crawled on his chest hard.
Zeratul then swung his fist at the troll, and it was only enough to graze the troll's arm. The beetle made him strike a lame position, and with the punch, the troll's grip on the stone wall eventually let go.
With a scream, the guy fell. Lady Luck favored Zeratul this time around, as the troll collided with his companion below. Unable to bear the weight of the weight that fell on him, the second troll fell with him.
Just as the two trolls smashed to the ground, Zeratul turned his face and looked at the Zerg.
"Let's go!" Nexus roared, still wrestling with the last troll: "That disc! Pick it up! ”
After a moment's hesitation, Zeratul reluctantly climbed up. He'd seen Kerrs fight demons in extremely unfavorable situations, and the Zerg would definitely be able to deal with the troll of the Queen.
Be careful...... Crassus's voice was heard. I've broken some protective bans, but there are still some prohibitions for you to deal with yourself!
Zeratul had sensed the existence of these prohibitions. Some of the prohibitions are overt, while others are very hidden. He carefully studied the nature of each prohibition and then used its essence to lift, or counteract it. The whole process went smoothly and completely beyond his expectations. Zeratul also thought that the tyrant insect god would set up some more inscrutable prohibitions.
Then there was another scream, from the troll. The Star Spirit didn't even look at it, for he had already heard Brooks snort as he climbed up the pitch.
In front of Zeratul was the disguised stone. He sent out his mind to inquire about the situation inside, and found that there was a new prohibition inside, but he could handle it.
Looking down, he saw that Brooks had climbed into the same hole they had wanted to enter in the first place. The Zerg squinted at the cave. (To be continued......)
