The inside of the cave is like an underground labyrinth, and the road is wide and extends all the way down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The further you go inside, the warmer it becomes. Thorin walked in the front and could see the surrounding walls by the light of the fire, all of which had been carefully carved and placed in the position of the security torch. There should have been a lot of people coming in here before.

He pointed to the copper basin on the wall and sniffed it.

"What is it?" asked Lisa.

"Fire oil, it's still refined oil oil. It's been so many years, but it hasn't volatilized. Thorin approached with a torch, and in an instant the brass basin burst into flames.

Point a few in a row to light up all around.

"It seems to be an arsenal here. Lisa looked around at the neatly arranged instruments, many of which were still wrapped in fabric. The cave is dry, and many of the weapons are not rusty yet, and they are still cold and shiny when they are opened.

"It's still very deep inside, do you want to go and see it?" she looked at Thorin, who was also waiting for Wang Cuo's reply.

"Let's go a little longer. Wang Cuo replied and looked ahead, "The roads in this belt are all straight, it is convenient to walk, we can walk over and have a look, if there is nothing abnormal, we will come back." But I think it's warmer here than I am in the fort. ”

It was snowing outside, and it felt even colder inside the fortress, which had been abandoned for years.

Everyone also agreed to Wang Cuo's proposal.

The group kept walking, and the people on both sides lit up the oil basin on the stone wall, and illuminated the road brighter like this.

"There seems to be wind ahead! Thorin, who was at the front, was the first to sense the abnormality.

A little further on, the fire was no longer visible, and the cold wind was blowing from the front...... Putting out the torches, and also plopping everyone's faces.

In front of him was a huge crater, barely visible, except for the ground beneath his feet, which was dark beyond the distance.

"Be careful not to fall. Thorin stopped the crowd from moving forward.

"It's such a big place, it seems like the whole mountain has been hollowed out. Lisa looked out at the bottomless abyss beneath her feet, and her surroundings became more spacious, and the only thing she could hear was the sound of water dropping.

"It is said that the military fortress around the mountain was built in the middle of the mountain, and I don't believe that I have seen it with my own eyes, but it is a spectacle, and I really don't know how much effort it will take to hollow out the entire mountain to build such a military fortress. Thorin sighed.

"Look at the ladder here, it goes around and leads straight down. Below must be the place where the army rested, or the armory...... It's an amazing project, and this kind of mountain alone can hold tens of thousands of your soldiers. ”

He pointed to a crumbling stone staircase next to it, spiraling around the mountain wall to an invisible spot in the abyss.

There is no way to go! If you go down, you may go deep into the mountains.

"That's all for today. Wang Cuo saw that everyone was tired and was ready to go back to rest.

"Wait, listen! Is there any sound?" said someone in the group.

The surroundings immediately fell silent and everyone listened.

"What's the sound!"

"Shhhhhhhhh ”

A short 'whirring' sound, which seemed to come from under the abyss, was accompanied by a subtle grinding sound.

The sound is small, but it sounds strange, like an animal, but how can such an animal make a sound in the bottomless ground and let the people above hear it.

"Could it be some kind of monster again? ”

Everyone's thoughts returned to the events of half a year ago. At the same time, he looked at Wang Cuo, who had the most right to speak in the audience.

"Archmage, do you think it's an underground creature again?" Thorin asked.

Ask me, how do I know. The king replied in his heart.

"I don't know until I see it, but at least it's certain that the strange sound the hunter is talking about must be coming from below. "It's just that this voice can only be heard when you walk in, why do the villagers say that it can be heard at night!

"So what do we do now?" asked a member of the team.

"Let's go down and take a look and be as careful as possible. Whatever it is, don't alarm it, our task is only to investigate, as long as the matter is clarified, as long as the archmage reports to the Wizards Association, someone will be sent to deal with it, so be careful. Seeing that after so many days of hard work, he finally found his goal, and Thorin still wanted to persevere, at least investigate it clearly before leaving.

"Can you hold on?" he asked the team.

"Yes!"

"No problem. ”

got an affirmative answer, and then there was a look at Wang Cuo.

"You are the leader, everything is as you command. "Just devouring a soul has made Wang Cuo a hundred times more energetic now.

"Okay, let's go check it out. But be careful with everything, no matter what you find, don't be busy, this is the mountain range, the whole mountain has been hollowed out, if you alarm the other party or fight, it may cause a collapse, and none of us will be able to get out at that time. Thorin said solemnly.

Along the circular stone steps on the side, the group walked down slowly.

No one has walked on it all year round, and the stairs are covered with moss, so you can only walk slowly against the wall to ensure that you don't fall.

"Everybody leaned against the wall, be careful not to fall. ”

Leaning against the wall and descending slowly, Wang Cuo kept looking into the depths of the ground, although his own eyes could see clearly in the night. But there's still nothing down there...... He flew to the center in the form of a raven.

"Don't worry, I'll be watching you all from the sidelines, all come down. He looked at the black patch below.

But the sound was getting louder and louder.

With the care of the archmage, it seems that all the team members have a great guarantee in their hearts, and the speed of walking has become much faster.

"Listen! ”

Now you don't need to be reminded to know it, because it seems to be echoing in your ears, and the space in the mountains is closed in such an environment, and the closer you get to such an environment, the louder the sound becomes.

What is it?!!

Thorin held his torch and searched for his way ahead.

When we finally reached the flat platform, the strange sound was close at hand...... But in front of me, there was still nothing, except for strange black stones.

"Are these stones? It's ridiculous. Nicos struck twice with his sword, hard. Just cut it off with a sword.

Her sword fell to the ground suddenly.

"What's wrong? Nikos?"

"It'...... This stone is soft. She covered her mouth in disbelief, the sword hadn't been completely cut off, but the feeling coming from the blade couldn't be wrong. Just like being alive......

Suddenly the whole stone moved, along with a huge area.

One of the thick fingers protruded from the black place, like the touch of a claw.

Its head is also moving, and it turns to make it look good.

"Dragon, it's a dragon!"

Thorin's voice almost trembled.
