Chapter 186: The Atrocities of the Half-Demons
"Boom!" The loud roar of the fireball exploded through the tunnel, making the dwarf Gander dizzy, and the dust from the flames obscured his vision, making it impossible for him to distinguish Ryan's form.
It took a while for the tunnel to slowly regain its calm, and Gander saw Ryan, who was crouching on the ground examining the corpse of a half-demon who had been killed in battle. So Gander ran up quickly, and asked in a curious tone, "Ryan, how can you see the environment here?"
Ryan stood up and casually dropped the weapons he picked up on the ground, these half-demon weapons were strangely shaped and quite sharp, which could be said to be very threatening, but its materials did not belong to the minerals of this continent, so Ryan could not identify what kind of metal it was. He turned his body to Gander and replied unhurriedly, "It's actually quite simple, I've learned to use magical perception instead of sight. This is a very simple magic, of course, its perception range and accuracy are closely related to its own mana, not to mention just a dim environment, that is, in the eternal darkness, as long as there is no rejection of magical energy, I can definitely use it to give advance warning. ”
"Oh, I see!" Gander nodded thoughtfully, and he wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder, so frightened that he desperately picked up his weapon and slashed at the person who was secretly attacking him, but there was no doubt that this attack failed.
"You need to be calm, only then can you realize that this is not a threat to you at all. Ryan smiled and spoke, as he saw that it was the stealthy Allendo who had slapped Gander on the shoulder, and he had already lurked ahead to detect the environment when Ryan had taken on the small group of half-demon warriors, and did not return until Ryan had finished the fight. With the difference in strength between the two of them, as long as Allendo didn't crash directly into Gandel's body, the latter wouldn't want to find Allendo's traces.
"Calm down?" Gander listened to Ryan's words, and remembered the druid who had always been hidden in the dark, so he suddenly realized, "Was it Elendor joking with me just now?"
"Yes. Allendo appeared, slapped Gandel on the shoulder again, and then said to Ryan, "There are three junctions ahead, and no enemy has been found. According to the trail tracks, the half-demons should have come from the passage on the left. ”
"Ah, that's right, that passage does lead to the lower caverns. Gander said quickly.
"Well, let's move on. Ryan said to Gandel, "You lead the way." ”
Gander walked side by side with Ryan again, anyway, this is already the core area of the dwarven city, and those underground passages are very wide, not to mention a few people traveling side by side, even driving two carriages is enough to stagger and walk. Gander looked around suspiciously, but found no trace of Elendor, so he cautiously asked Ryan, "Ryan, why isn't your companion here?"
"He's finding his way ahead. Ryan replied.
"Ah, didn't you say you could rely on magic detection?" asked Gandel.
"Yes, but don't be overly superstitious about your own power, which will become a prayer on your tombstone. Ryan said a sentence from his teacher Delaney, and then explained to Gandel: "People who are good swimmers often drown, magic is powerful, but it is not omnipotent, the magic eye can indeed detect the traces of enemies around you, but under the layout of opponents with ulterior motives, you will definitely enter the trap in ignorance." ”
"Ah, does that mean that if you meet an opponent of similar strength to you, this magic is likely to fail?" Gandel's understanding was not very bad, and he quickly figured this out.
"It's pretty much the same, and there are opponents who are particularly good at psychic magic, and they can completely suppress your magic detection, such as spirit sucking monsters. As soon as Ryan said this, he heard the sound of bones breaking in the distant tunnel, followed by the muffled sound of a corpse falling to the ground, and he smiled slightly, knowing that Elendor had cleaned up another team of half-demon warriors.
Gandel's strength was too far behind, so naturally he didn't hear the sound made by Allendo, but when he followed Ryan to a spacious square, he suddenly saw that the square was full of corpses of half-demons, and Allendo was sitting in a relatively clean place in the middle of the square to eat.
"Wow, Elendor, you're so powerful!" Gander escaped from the iron hooves of the undead legion and the half-demon invasion army, naturally knowing very well how strong these enemies were, but such a powerful enemy was completely annihilated by the attack of his companions, and he was not far away but did not hear any sound of battle at all, obviously Elendor was not fighting just now, but carried out a hunt, or a one-sided slaughter.
"A question, what about the dwarves?" said Alendor when he saw Ryan coming, he asked.
"What, and still alive compatriots?" said Gandel, who was taken aback, and quickly rushed in the direction pointed out by Allendo, and soon came to the outside of a cave. The cave was sealed by an iron fence, so Gander couldn't see inside, but as he approached the cave, he heard the muffled cries of several female dwarves inside.
"Anyone is still alive, my fellow citizens, are you all right?" Gander immediately swelled with blood, and he picked up his axe and slashed at the iron fence, but his strength was not enough to destroy the sturdy fence, and the blow only made a loud noise, startling the surviving dwarves inside.
"Mr. Lane, please ......" Gandel knew that he was not strong enough, and he turned to think that Lane had pleaded with him to help him save his compatriots, but before he could finish his words, he found that his axe was burning. If it weren't for witnessing his father Nelson's majestic appearance with flames all over his body, perhaps Gander would have dropped the weapon in his hand at the first time to avoid his limbs being burned by the flames, and now he naturally knew very well that this was the help that Ryan gave him, and his spirits were immediately lifted.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to break it!" Gander shouted three times in a row, then picked up his tomahawk and slashed at the iron fence once again, this time the iron fence no longer stopped Gandel's attack, and was directly reduced to pieces by the young dwarf with all his might. Gander was startled to see how he had chopped such a sturdy fence into pieces with an axe, but he quickly came to his senses and rushed into the cavern like a whirlwind.
Gander went in very quickly, but he rushed out even faster, and his face was even more red as if it was dripping blood, because the dwarves locked in the cave were all women, and all of them were naked, how could this not embarrass the strong-blooded Gandel?
The embarrassed expression quickly faded into anger, as Gander had learned from his bruised dwarven compatriots what had happened to them, and he cursed loudly and slashed his tomahawk at the half-demon warrior who was already dead on the ground. After smashing several corpses in succession, Gander came back to his senses, and by this time the female dwarves who had been insulted by the half-demons had put on the clothes that Ryan had thrown them in, and slowly walked out.
Looking at these female dwarves who had undergone terrible devastation, Ryan frowned unknowingly, according to Freya, the blood of the demons is extremely aggressive, and there do not seem to be females in their own race, and they need to mate with other races to reproduce the next generation, and the ones that give birth must be males. This trait also makes the entire Majin race quite aggressive, because if they don't attack other races, they can't continue to continue the development of the race. Now that these damn guys have come to Blackstone City, and there have been many dwarven women who have been insulted, I'm afraid that there will soon be a new half-demon, if you can't handle this problem well, I'm afraid that the dwarf clan will have more trouble in the future.
Of course, these problems are all for later, and Ryan's immediate priority now is to find that teleportation circle and destroy it. According to Ryan's estimate, I'm afraid that at this time, more than 10,000 demi-demon warriors have come to Blackstone City through the teleportation magic array, and that magic array is naturally under the strictest protection of the demi-demon legion, he didn't plan to take a large group of dwarves with no combat power to attack the main force of the demi-demons, but leaving these dwarves here is really unbearable for him, this is really a troublesome problem.
Fortunately, the problem was quickly resolved, and although the female dwarves had endured terrible encounters, they did not cry endlessly after being rescued, and after picking up various weapons and venting at the corpses of the half-demons, the female dwarves redressed, and many of them even put on the armor of their relatives, because this square was their home in the first place.
"Thank you, Gandel, and thank you, our human friends. Now is not the time to cry, we must fight, for the sake of our dead loved ones, for our homeland!" A young woman said in a short voice: "Do you need us to join your team?
"I'm sorry, I had to refuse!" Ryan shook his head and said to the female dwarf in the lead, then he pointed to the passage behind him and continued, "The path should be safe, at least we've cleared all enemies in our path by the time we come." If you wish, please follow it. His Majesty Reynolds' personal captain, Nelson, will receive you, and now we must transfer all the surviving dwarves, but we are short on manpower, and I believe you will be of great help to him. Plus, there's some magic scrolls here, I hope you'll be able to use them!"
"Okay!" The female dwarf who took the lead took a large scroll of fireball magic that Ryan handed over, and then distributed them to her companions, and whispered a few words, the other female dwarves seemed to be very convinced of her words, and quickly left with some weapons and food, but the leading female dwarf did not leave, she stood by Ryan's side, as if planning to follow Ryan and them on an adventure.
