Chapter 373: Ruins Exploration (2)
This is the space that is divided......
The palace on the ground and the huge cavern underground, are already different spaces.
In this way, the reason why this temple appeared in the swamp suddenly is completely in line with the conditions.
It's not that the underground space is another time and space, but that this temple shouldn't exist in the first place, and that it was taken by some powerful force to appear here out of thin air.
The existence of this kind of power, if it is a power such as an enchantment, it is fine, and all the spellcasters and explorers with high elemental perception talents who recognize this are very unwilling to be another possibility in their hearts.
If it was really done by a living being, then the power it possessed only needed to wave its hand, as if it could kill a flying insect, and bury all of them, including the bone dragon, here.
Zhou Dong, who was outside the temple, had already made a decision and immediately fled from this place with Emma.
His psychic connection had become intermittent and there was a delayed feedback, and I was afraid that something big would happen here soon.
The changes in the follow-up events are not much different from what Zhou Dong guessed.
After he retreated with Emma, about three days later, the ruins of the temple made a loud bang, as if the sky was falling apart, and after a violent tremor, the temple disappeared into the ground, as if it had never appeared.
It's just that through the intermittent and delayed more serious mental link, Zhou Dong still pieced together the scattered information he knew, and probably restored the ins and outs.
After the Tiger mercenaries entered the underground cavern, they found a deep underground cavern with twists and turns underground, and he discovered it faster than anyone else, and there were some artificial traces here.
It's just that the deputy head of Zhou Dong's possession hasn't reminded these people that the monster attack is coming.
It wasn't the Cthulhu monsters that attacked them, but a group of strange and miserable, obviously creatures of the same race, this creature has a pig-sized body, and its round body is only supported by one leg, but this leg has a very good ability to bounce, which is basically an underground passage with a height of five to seven meters, they can often jump to the top easily, and there are some well-balanced monsters that can bounce around the walls, attacking these mercenaries from an angle that is difficult for them to defend.
Perhaps because they always live underground and don't see light, these strange creatures named "Pinball Beasts" by Zhou Dong have miserable white skin, and under the light of the torches, you can even see their dark red blood veins in motion, which can be clearly observed from the epidermis.
These things have no eyes, but they have become a tiny slit of flesh where they should have eyes, and these pinball beasts with only greasy skin and no feathers seem to be sensitive to light and sound, and although they have no eyesight, they can easily catch the every move of these intruders, and they are caught off guard by the Tiger Mercenary Group.
Their eyes have deteriorated, but their mouths are extremely terrifying, and the open, round, almost volleyball-sized oval mouth is full of dense and fine broken teeth, and it is divided into two circles, inner and outer circles, just looking at them, the members of these tiger mercenary groups have chills in their hearts.
The performance of the pinball beasts is also extremely terrifying, they attacked the tiger mercenary group with an astonishing fast bounce, the light armor on their bodies can not defend at all, these pinball beasts open their mouths, gnaw hard, like biting French bread, although they have broken a few teeth, but they bite through many small holes in the armor strongly, and then the mouth is hard to bite a large piece of armor fragments with flesh and blood.
The most important thing is that there are a lot of these pinballmons!
After killing an unknown number of heads, at least a few hundred, this mercenary group, which originally had nearly 100 people, only had more than 30 people left, and it can be said that this encounter was fought very fiercely.
But when it comes to sadness, they are not too sad.
This is because they have been rewarded with corresponding value for their efforts.
After dissecting the corpses of these pinball beasts, they harvested about three hundred "gray beads", this gray bead is actually a very tough gray-white flesh ball, although it is only the size of a fist, but it contains a very rich life essence energy, the mercenary who was originally injured in this battle inadvertently devoured one, not only the injury was quickly healed, but also the physical fitness after healing has been greatly improved, especially the bounce of the legs has increased almost two or three times, The mercenary felt fortunate that he didn't have two rings of fine broken teeth in his mouth like these pinball beasts.
After discovering the effectiveness of these things, they experimented with them, and finally determined that as long as they swallowed this thing, an ordinary peasant could have the physical quality equivalent to that of an army soldier who had been training hard for more than ten years in less than half a day.
On the continent of Faerun, human life or the lives of other races are actually very low, not to mention that in those uncivilized mountain wildernesses, I don't know how many lives die every day, in the Tiger Mercenary Group, in fact, not all of them are elite members, among the dozens of mercenaries who died, most of them are only bandits and bandits who have been trained for a few years or months, or desperate peasant transformations and the like, the real elite of the Tiger Mercenary Group, it can be said that they only lost almost one percent of their strength in the war just now.
Under the secret influence of Zhou Dong and the self-judgment of the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, he decided to continue his journey.
It would be great if you could meet more pinball beasts on the road, after all, every pinball beast means a gray bead, and when you go outside, whether you use these gray beads to cultivate new blood in mercenary groups, or sell them to mages for research and sell them to the army of the kingdom empire...... It's a very cost-effective business.
What frightened the Tiger Mercenaries was that they did soon encounter a second pinball beast, compared to the nearly four hundred just now, this group of pinball beasts only had more than two hundred, but each one was the size of a wolf, compared to the pinball beasts they encountered before, just by looking at the appearance, they knew that they were stronger.
After trying to seduce and kill a few, the Tiger Mercenaries realized that they had taken a leap in strength and had to disperse them in batches and kill them slowly like they did against the Lizardmen.
It took more than half a day, and they lost 20% of the number of people, and then they took this pinball beast down.
Although they had obtained two hundred more precious gray beads, their faces had become difficult to look at.
Before they could find anything truly valuable, more than half of the team had died, and it would be difficult for them to complete their mission this time.
