Chapter 3 Outside
A few years ago, people who had to be relocated from their hideouts due to the ravages of monsters came to this hill. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This barren place is covered with sand and blackened charcoal, and there is also an extremely high concentration of fire demon spirits around it, which exudes a faint dragon power that makes the demon beasts with strict level distribution very rare, which also gives the people who escaped a chance to survive.
Some of them wanted to leave the place and seek refuge in the human settlement far from the destroyed "Elpis", while others decided to stay here and wait optimistically for the day when the sudden war of the gods would come to an abrupt end.
The survivors split into two groups, the larger of which left the place and set out on a new journey. The other group is looking for a new "refuge" in this hill.
Luckily, an underground ruin was found in the hills, which looked like the work of the dwarves of the hills and the red dragons, and the dilapidated mine buried at the foot of the hills still faintly emitted the glow of the dwarves' proud ever-bright lanterns.
The people, who had been tormented by suffering and were on the verge of collapse, rushed in frantically as if they had grasped a life-saving straw. Then I realized that the god who loves pranks in the world is really the god of fate.
When the hopeful people entered the ruins, they realized that there was already a landlord who was not very welcoming to guests.
......
Demon beasts are a huge group, all kinds of creatures, all kinds of intelligent races, whether they know it or not, have decided to give those dangerous and low-IQ beasts a collective name - demon beasts.
You will find that when the time comes, any strange animal in this huge group will be found, whether you recognize it or not, anyway, it is right to call the monster first.
And the reason why the straight-tempered dwarf and the short-tempered dragon have a bad relationship also comes from here.
When the dwarves saw the lizards flying in the sky, their first reaction was "What a big monster!" However, their temper was really straight, and they even shouted out. As a result, something even more deadly appeared: they spread ten to hundred, and everyone's reaction when they met the dragon was to shout, and then sighed, "What a big monster." ”
...... And then there was no more, and now the coke everywhere in this underground ruins is probably the work of some red dragon who is in a bad mood.
We can't fly into the narrow caves, but we can sit at their doors and spit at them to humiliate them, as if the dragon thinks so.
However, no matter what, there are three monsters in the world that are the most famous: the largest monster in the sea - the iron-spine whale shark, the largest monster on the ground - the sandworm, and the largest monster in the sky - Ha, not a dragon.
Sandworms, no one knows how these damn invertebrates grow from half a meter to a hundred meters. However, it is not entirely correct to say that sandworms are the largest on earth. Because, instead of staying on the ground to become a target, they prefer to stay in the damp and cold underground and wait for the prey to come to the door on its own.
For example, the survivors at the time were facing such a landlord.
By the way, the sandworm is not a picky eater, and half of its massive body is a stomach.
Thankfully, it's only nine meters long and still a larva. Yes, albeit a nine-meter-long behemoth. But it's really just a larva.
At that time, how many people died, no one remembers. It is only known that both sides are fighting like beasts for the space to survive. Kerr only remembered that when the old mage inserted the staff into the sandworm's head, less than half of the original team of more than 1,000 people were still able to stand up.
And Ker's parents died in that sudden battle, and in front of Ker, who was full of longing for the future, his mother disappeared before he could even send a reminder and face a desperate situation with a smile, and his father ...... Only half of his body remained.
In this world, faith can make God, and souls can make miracles. Despair makes possible.
From that day on, the grieving teenager could no longer feel the presence of tears, but instead felt the fear of others...... Or, empathy. -- By understanding the fear that a person is experiencing, we can learn about the negative thoughts that arise from that person, and the more fears we experience, the more real and real they become, and the deeper we will understand the dark side of a person.
For Kerr, it's like a curse, or like a punishment.
As for whether you will go crazy because you are knocked down by fear, who ...... Will you know?
......
Grave shook his head, and shook off the flying thoughts.
Warm light came from the square behind him, shining on the stone wall behind him, leaving a dark and strong shadow.
This is the real exit from this refuge, and the other mines leading to it have already been dug under the command of the old mage, forming a circular labyrinth.
"Warriors, seriously, I don't want to say something disheartening when you leave Gentle Country to explore the outside world. But, for the sake of your own lives, always remember not to stay in one place for too long!, is the advice of an old man who has survived nine expeditions from the depths of the world. None of us know what things will find their prey in any strange way, and the only way to survive is to "run" for you young people, and the faster you run, the better, like rabbits. ”
The bearded Rolls shouted hard while waving the rusty knife in his hand and stood under a raised rock to give a speech to the people who were about to go out to forage for food, which made the people below embarrassed, he was the only iron weapon in his hand, and being thrown like this, it felt like the next moment, this unstrong blade was about to break.
It seems that when it comes to rising, he suddenly hammers his chest hard, but to be honest, Rouse's body is not at all muscular, and it has a bit of a comedic effect with his unusually thick arms.
"Don't laugh, you little bunnies who still have the heart to laugh. Now I'll tell you, if I knew anyone who was going to bring danger to your teammates or here, yes, this shelter. Even if there's a rabbit behind you, I'm going to rip off your broken head. ”
Rouse's shouts continued to resound throughout the cavern.
"One more piece of advice, rookie warriors, if you're really scared out there and don't want to go any further, use your poor brains to find your captain."
Rouse gave a thumbs up, badly deformed from overexertion, and pointed to Kerr, who was leaning on the stone wall in a daze.
"There are only two people here who have gone out nine times and come back alive, one is me and the other is this little ghost. But...... I don't think I'll be able to go out again for the tenth time. As he spoke, Old Rolls lifted his almost crumbling leather trousers—a luxury item made of trophies he had brought back from his expeditions, a shocking scar, and his right leg had disappeared in half vertically from top to bottom as if it had been cut by a knife, and if you looked at it from the back, you could even see the thick bones in it.
"But this time our little leader is about to start his tenth journey. It's lucky for you newcomers to have a "veteran" by your side. Rouse suddenly grinned and laughed heartlessly.
The people below have long been accustomed to his people going crazy, and no one is trying to answer his words. They all looked at the boy leaning against the stone wall with reverence.
No matter when, a true warrior is always respected.
Kerr carefully wiped away the tears that had just fallen inadvertently, slowly raised his head, and casually glanced at the dozen or so people around him. "So that's the end of the day, it's just afternoon, let's go. “
