Chapter 4: The Dark Temple

The sudden halt of the thunder caused the team that had been too relaxed to stop from front to back, and the members of the guard in charge of the guard had already drawn their weapons.

After the team quieted down, the sound of rustling in the bushes in front of the left became obvious, Lei Ming sat on horseback and clearly saw a large number of low figures as if they were about to rush out, his hand holding the reins tightened, and even had an urge to scold his mother, he really couldn't understand that not long after the Earth Dragon left, they brought a large amount of Earth Dragon feces, why there were still groups of beasts, this was simply something that subverted his cognition.

Especially at the moment, Lei Ming doesn't even have a lowest-level profession except for the identity of a university scholar, which means that his strength is very limited at this moment.

Lei Ming's face was low, and he quickly turned over and dismounted, just because he understood a truth: a man will always stand up and solve the problem with his fists one day, this is the responsibility of a man, at this moment, he has to protect his sister, but also to protect the large number of women and children in the fleeing team.

The long procession was slowly closing up, and the men in the group trembled and clutched some iron forks or hoes tightly in their hands, and looked at the figures running up in the jungle with apprehension, and had a very bad thought in their hearts, as if they were surrounded by wolves.

As the shadow drew nearer, Thunder stepped back a little, and stood with some of the guards of the young men, leading the somewhat grumpy bad horse in their hands, while Alice lay on the back of the horse in fear.

Thunder heard the low howls of those black shadows, he felt that something was not right, it was not like the howl of a wolf, and when a red figure rushed out first, Thunder only felt his heart tighten, and a kind of Jedi ecstasy surged into his heart.

Even if those red-skinned gnomes were holding up thick wooden sticks and screaming at him with a hideous face, Thunder still felt extremely lucky, this kind of monster called a berserk goblin in the game is more than ten times easier to deal with than a wolf, humans have a natural height and physique advantage in the face of these gnomes, and these gnomes' weapons are actually not as good as ordinary people, if Lei Ming is surrounded by a person, then he must have no way to live, but don't they still have many people?

But the ecstasy of the thunder could not affect the others, and when the numerous red-skinned gnomes in the jungle ran out screaming, both the ordinary people and the young men of the garrison kept retreating, and the women and children cried loudly when they saw the hideous-looking creatures rushing madly towards the group, and the whole group was in chaos in an instant.

After a short period of consternation, Lei Ming immediately came back to his senses, human beings are full of fear of unknown creatures, even if it is a wolf pack that appears at this time, people will not cry and scream like this, because in everyone's impression, several adults can kill a wolf with a cooperation, although the process is full of danger, but they will have a way to deal with it in their heads at the first moment, but the current red-skinned gnomes are different, they have never seen them before, and they don't know how to deal with these monsters at all, especially these red-skinned gnomes also make a strange cry of intimidation, which makes these simple townspeople confused for a while。

However, time was not left for Lei Ming to think about how to reverse the situation, the red-skinned gnome who rushed fast had already come to Lei Ming, and there were even people in the team who couldn't stand the fear in their hearts and actually ran away from the team, and the members of the nearest guard team had already retreated a few meters.

Whether it was the provocation of this group of red-skinned gnomes, or the cowardice of the townspeople, and the death of old Thor, who had made him very fond of him before, all aroused a wave of anger in Lei Ming's heart, he fiercely stretched out his right hand, and quickly choked the neck of the red-skinned dwarf after being knocked on the arm by the red-skinned dwarf, and the anger made him give birth to a huge force at this moment, he twisted the neck of the red-skinned dwarf, and the red-skinned dwarf's head drooped down, he tensed the muscles in his calf, and slapped the red-skinned dwarf who followed him in the stomach with a hard kick, and the red-skinned dwarf that he drew flew out entirely, and he flicked his right hand, threw the red-skinned dwarf he strangled to the ground, and was trampled by the frightened neighing red bad horse.

Lei Ming completed this series of actions and shouted loudly: "Those who escaped from the battle will be hanged! Don't you feel ashamed that you are afraid of even these weak creatures!"

Thunder's shouting was like rolling thunder in the ears of the townspeople, coupled with witnessing Thunder just stretched out a hand and strangled a monster, kicking another monster out of the air, the words "hanging", "fear", and "shame" filled their brains in an instant, and several young men from the guard behind Thunder Blushed, especially when they saw those weak creatures rushing towards the respected lord, they all shouted and raised their weapons in their hands and rushed up.

The heavy sword easily halved the red-skinned dwarf, and the young man of the garrison felt more and more ashamed, in the face of such a weak creature, he would be afraid to run away, and what was even more unforgivable was that he had forgotten to protect the safety of the lord, and on the one hand, his confidence soared, and on the other hand, his combat effectiveness soared under the psychology of full of guilt, and when Lei Ming pulled the frightened bad horse, more than a dozen red-skinned gnomes had been killed.

Human beings are a kind of creature that bullies the weak and fears the hard, after seeing the young men of the garrison chopping melons and chopping vegetables and hanging these red-skinned dwarfs who rushed out, the people who were originally cowering and a little timid rushed up one after another, and those who had already run out for a while looked back and saw such a scene, and immediately ran back in the chaos, and some in order to hide their embarrassment or fear of the hanging that Lei Ming just said, they directly joined the battle group, and several members of the garrison who followed the team stopped rushing forward when they saw this, but scolded to restrain the scattered team, even the women who were crying and shouting just now looked left and right after seeing the situation quickly turn around, secretly wiped away their tears and pretended to be calm, so as not to make people realize that they were frightened and cried by those red-skinned dwarves who looked a little ridiculous, yes, those red-skinned dwarfs who looked ridiculous, and now those red-skinned gnomes were no longer hideous and terrible monsters in their eyes, but some ridiculous red-skinned dwarfs.

The battle ended quickly, and a total of more than fifty red-skinned gnomes rushed out in a row like food deliverers, and then were ravaged to the ground by the angry crowd, some of whom were even torn apart by iron forks, or simply turned into several pieces, and bright red blood flowed all over the ground.

Alice's big eyes were still red, but she didn't cry, which frightened her when the red-skinned gnome screamed and rushed out. Now she was comforting the red horse, for the bad horse had been beaten by her brother for being frightened, and it seemed to her that the horse had behaved well enough not to throw her off the horse, but her brother was still unreasonable in his fists and kicks.

Lei Ming didn't have the time to take care of his sister's mood, he took Yu Wei, who was the first to shoot furiously just now, and ordered a few young men from the garrison to take some of the people to check the source of the red-skinned gnomes, and then turned around and looked coldly at the cowering townspeople, he carried his hands behind his back, and his sharp eyes made the eyes of the few people who fled just now dodge, and he was worried about why he didn't rush up directly to fight with those red-skinned dwarves like the others, so that he could not be frightened at this time, especially when he thought of the hanging that Lei Ming just said, these timid townspeople had a little weak legs。

The thunder was full of majesty, and only Alice, lying on horseback, could see that the thunder was holding tightly on her right arm with her left hand, where she had been struck by the red-skinned gnome's big stick.

Just when those guys were about to be unable to withstand this suppression, Lei Ming suddenly snorted coldly, "Those who panicked and left the team just now will be whipped five times, and they will be executed by the garrison!"

After saying that, Lei Ming shook off the slightly wide aristocratic robe, led the red horse, and walked in the direction of the townspeople who had gone to investigate the situation.

Leaving aside the few escapees' sighs of relief and regretful complaints, let's just say that the townspeople, who had been boosted by the confidence of killing a large group of red-skinned monsters with their own hands, had only searched for a short distance into the jungle before they found a huge structure built in the forest.

Whether it is the scale and style of the building or the stone pillars and carvings, these all show that the building that suddenly appeared in front of them is a temple, but this temple may have been left unattended for a long time, so it looks a little dilapidated, and many stone pillars have gaps along the stone edges, but the main body of this temple is still solid, and there is no sign of collapse at all.

Thunder was only a small step slower than them, this temple was only about a kilometer away from the avenue opened up by the Earth Walking Dragons, mainly because of the canopy and rattan blocking them from detecting, if it weren't for a group of red-skinned gnomes rushing out from here, I'm afraid they would never have discovered this temple.

When he saw this temple, Lei Ming had a sudden feeling of enlightenment, he had already understood the origin of this group of red-skinned gnomes, and he was also full of interest in this temple, maybe he could gain a lot here!

"Lord Lord!"

The members of the garrison also saw the thunder that slowly led the jujube red horse out, and greeted the thunder from the bottom of their hearts, and by the way, they also asked what to do with the thunder, they were worried that there was something bad in this temple, so they hadn't entered to check it yet, after all, the carved things in this temple were not good things, and some were even simply evil creatures.

However, Lei Ming already had a bottom in his heart at this time, he knew that the temple in front of him was an abandoned dark temple, and it was rumored that the dark goddess was quite fond of the blood of red-skinned gnomes, so most of her temples would keep some red-skinned gnomes in captivity to please Her Highness the goddess.
