Chapter 138: The Dwarven Secret Path
After three days of arduous trekking, Lu Bin and the others finally arrived at one of the many branches of the Storm Wind Range, and the snow wolves pulling the sled were already exhausted, and most of them fell headlong into the snow when they heard the order to stop.

Lu Bin sighed, and in full view of everyone, summoned the space-time gate connecting the "Elven Waste Capital Elundelle", and sent the exhausted Snow Wolf into recuperation, and then even the sleigh was pushed over by him, anyway, the "Buried Bone Land", which had doubled in area, was now much more abundant, and there was a large enough place to place all kinds of sundries.
Orik Tyrese stared at the golden veins and green leaves that formed the space-time gate, and he knew that behind the space-time gate, there was a pocket plane world commonly known as the half-plane, and then he immediately understood the origin of the "Lord Rez" to reward the fresh meat of the snowwolf.
He casually said his plan, Lu Bin thought about it for a moment and agreed, and put everyone's bags in the "burial place" for storage, which immediately reduced the burden of the group.
The light Windranger Aurelia walked in front, and the foothills covered with thick snow were like walking on the ground for her, but Lu Bin and the others staggered one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Although the dwarven craftsmen were familiar with the nearby terrain, due to their size, they could not walk quickly in the "chest-deep" snow, and could only follow the group.
The cold weather was extremely physically demanding, and Lu Bin and the others had just crossed a ridge, except for the windrunner Aurelia who was not affected by the terrain, and the dwarven craftsmen with full stamina, everyone else was a little overwhelmed.
In a sheltered mountain crevice, Nina Wild rubbed her numb legs and pulled out the jerky hidden in her arms to replenish her strength.
"Guides, are there any shortcuts?"
The three dwarves who put down their hammers and replaced them with thick shields, war hammers, and double-sided axes to temporarily become warriors nodded lightly in everyone's anticipation after making eye contact with each other.
In their heyday, the Iron Furnace Dwarves expanded their vast kingdom in the Stormwind Mountains, digging secret passages through all the branch mountains.
Theoretically speaking, the Hameles Mountains that Lu Bin and the others set foot on must have a direct passage to the dwarven kingdom that winds for hundreds of miles.
"I'm sure there must be such a passage, so you can rest here for a while, the wind and snow outside are getting heavier and heavier, so leave it to me to find the passage. ”
At the critical time, Lu Bin stood up, and he didn't pack the ticket, but just said that he would do his best. Hearing the words of "Mage Rez", except for Orrick Tyrese, who did not know the details, even the three dwarven warriors trusted it.
After all, this is a legendary person with an artifact, and he may be able to do some things that ordinary people can't handle, such as finding a secret entrance.
Lu Bin walked out of the mountain gap alone, looked around and found that there was no one around, and through the Book of the Traveling Mage, he spent the source harvested from the silent king Silian, and extracted the "scarab" from the mysterious plane core.
A black card with two stars emerged, the talent for scavenging gave them the characteristics of scavengers, the great desert from the barren land, obviously a little resistant to the bitter cold of winter, but Lu Bin's will could not be disobeyed.
Swarms of scarabs spread out like a tidal wave, frantically burrowing into the rocks, searching for possible secret passages.
Soon there was good news, but unfortunately it was not the entrance that Lu Bin was looking for, but a collapsed secret passage, damaged by an earthquake or other reasons, and now these little guys are gathering in groups, using the power of the group to push away the blocked rocks.
"There aren't any low-level beetles that have been enhanced by card stacking, so it's not cool enough to do this kind of thing. ”
Lu Bin pondered for a moment, and his mind raced through a series of combination cards, from creature cards like "Spiked Chelate Shell", to metal parts like "Rusty Clockwork", and even spell enchantments like "Fairy Blessing".
They can be combined to form the powerful "stinging beetle", the metallic structure "clockwork beetle", and the "strong acid beetle" that can spit highly corrosive acid.
"Forget it! These beetles have completed their mission, and the next few difficulties and obstacles will be left to Oric Tyrese, and I can't do everything by myself. ”
Thinking of this, Lu Bin immediately ordered the "Scarab" to explore the depths of the secret passage, and later he walked into the mountain gap and relayed his "discovery" to the people who traveled along the way.
"Really, Mr. Reze, my friend, you really have a way!"
Oric Tyrese didn't expect that this "legendary mage", whose fame had reached his father's ears, would be even more beneficial than he expected, and he just went out for a spin and found the secret path to the dwarven kingdom.
Lu Bin smiled and confessed that he had used a little secret means, and what he found was not the entrance to the secret passage, but the collapsed part, and there were piles of falling rocks nearby.
The dwarven warriors were homesick, and at this time they took the initiative to stand up and express their willingness to remove the obstacles and open the secret passage for everyone.
So Lu Bin led the three dwarves out and came to the cliff not far away, pointing to the cliff that seemed to have been chopped by a giant axe and had almost no place to stay.
"No problem! ”
Lu Bin originally thought that he would see three frightened dwarves with blue lips and white lips, but he didn't expect them to be so tough, and he would see a very exciting scene later.
I saw the dwarven warrior take out a bundle of a dozen iron bars from his backpack, as well as the hammer of the old business, and after beating and beating, he forged a thing like a trick, and later took out a large bundle of rope made of coarse linen mixed with fine iron wire.
Lu Bin understood at a glance: "So that's the case! Dwarves are not only the best craftsmen, but also good rock climbers." ”
"Your Excellency, I'll help too!"
A familiar voice sounded behind Lu Bin, and he looked back sideways to find that it was Orelia the Windranger, whose slender body stepped on the rugged ground and walked through the thick snow, leaving only a shallow trace.
"Be careful! No one knows what will happen when the secret passage is opened, and you have to be ready to fight. ”
The body of the half-elf girl was assimilated by the rules of the "Buried Bone Land", but her mind was still free, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Bin's concern.
With their old experience and sharp eyes, the dwarven warriors searched for gaps in the cliffs that they could use, and one by one thick iron nails were driven into them, becoming their foothold, and constantly stretching forward.
Orelia the Windranger waited for the rudimentary plank path without planks to take shape, and immediately leaped over, with the short legs of the dwarven warriors, the spacing of the road spikes was not long, so the half-elf girl only changed her feet a few times, and approached the secret passage blocked by rockfall after the collapse.
The thin, two-finger-wide sword was unsheathed, and the hilt of the sword was clenched by Aurelia the Windranger, churning against the rocks. Perhaps because of the special material, the hard rock is as fragile as porous cheese, and in a few clicks it is thinned and removed, turning into rubble and falling down.
After the collapse, the secret passage blocked by falling rocks was stirred by the half-elf girl with a sword, and the ground became bigger and bigger. The dwarven warriors were speechless when they saw each other's faces, but fortunately, the pitons built in a hurry came in handy, and finally made their own value reflected.
Lu Bin didn't reveal the little calculations in the dwarves' hearts, he knew the situation in the secret passage earlier than others through the sneaking "scarab".
The truth is not optimistic, many secret passages have collapsed and blocked, and it is true that you can reach the dwarven kingdom by walking all the way, but the time it takes to clear the obstacles is enough for the tail behind you to keep up.
"Keeping up? just let them follow and explore the dwarven kingdom, our team alone is not enough. Besides, if I go to a dark region full of dangers, I can also recruit adventurers or mercenaries on the spot. The north lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people. ”
After Lu Bin made up his mind, he found that Orelia the Windranger had opened a large enough entrance, so he beckoned Nina Wild and the others to enter.
Fortunately, Orrick Tyrese, who was carrying a heavy hammer, stepped on the pitons, and Lu Bin heard the sound of squeaking, and when he looked closely, it was because the two-finger-thick pitons were slightly bent and deformed.
"Forget it! Reaching out at this time will offend people. Orrick is a good man, usually very kind in conversation, but inside he is a very proud and proud person, convinced of his own ability, I can't embarrass him in public. ”
The blonde boy, who often had a sunny smile on his face, was not affected by the anomaly under his feet at all, and very calmly stepped through the simple plank road step by step, and walked into the secret passage that was opened again.
Lu Bin smiled and lightly raised his forehead, and Eric Tyrese immediately realized and smiled in return, but at this time it was much more sincere.
The dwarven warrior took out a torch from his backpack, which was wrapped in strips of cloth soaked in grease, but the grease was frozen and white because of the cold, so they tried to light it several times without success.
Orelia the Windranger immediately stepped forward, "I'd better do it!"
After speaking, her hands rubbed against each other, and the sharp-eyed Lu Bin saw a red fire light shining through the fingers of the new entourage, and then saw the half-elf girl put her hands together, and let out a breath softly, and a flame erupted from her fingertips, instantly lighting the torch.
The torches that were lit one after another were held high by the dwarven warriors, illuminating the dark secret passage and illuminating the front of Lu Bin and the others.
Since the dwarven kingdom was in war with the forces of the dungeons of the Underworld, the first visitors to this man-made wonder in more than a decade have been amazed.
