Chapter 966: The Eye of the Goddess saw that the Dwarf King was impatient with herself. The Great Elder let out a long sigh and staggered out.

At this moment, the Great Elder's body seemed to become even more rickety.

"Cut, this old thing, he knows about alarmism all day long, and almost a year ago he chirped crookedly that evil has come, isn't it still good now?" If that human army really dares to enter the depths of the swamp, I don't mind tasting the taste of human flesh, which is said to have grown up eating whole grains, and the taste of meat is particularly delicious!"

The dwarf king pursed his lips, raised the wine bottle and took a big sip of it, with a smug look on his face.

The Great Elder crossed the stone bridge and came to the outside of this colorful hall.

Every ten meters in the stone corridor, there is a burning torch.

The firelight flickered on and off, and the shadow of the cut gave the corridor an indescribable strange smell.

The guards on patrol or on duty bowed respectfully when they saw the Great Elder.

The Great Elder is currently the oldest of the Sunset Dwarves, and he is the only dwarf who can communicate with the goddess, so all the dwarves are in awe of him.

Seeing the respectful appearance of these dwarves towards him, the corners of the Great Elder's mouth rarely showed a hint of a smile.

After losing contact with the goddess of nature more than 500 years ago, the Sunset Dwarves moved to the Sunset Swamp at the instigation of the Dwarven King at that time.

The Great Elder was already the youngest priest in the clan at that time, and he had tried to persuade the Dwarven King not to relocate to the Sunset Swamp, because he had a vague feeling that something terrible would happen to this land in the future.

But the dwarven king at the time didn't care.

In other words, every dwarf king of the Sunset Dwarves is the same arrogant and self-serving.

After rejecting the proposal of the young Great Elder, the Sunset Dwarves recuperated in this place with a similar name, and spent eighty years building the current massive underground city.

In the hundreds of years that followed, the number of the Sunset Dwarves increased significantly and rapidly due to the comfortable living environment.

In more than 400 years, the population of the clan has increased fivefold, from more than 6,000 when they first arrived in the Sunset Swamp to more than 30,000 now.

During this period, nothing major happened, except that he was still not able to perceive the goddess of nature, everything else was going well, so the original premonition was slowly forgotten by the Great Elder.

But just about a year ago, the Great Elder was awakened by a nightmare again.

He hadn't had a nightmare for hundreds of years, and this time the nightmare was particularly real, even after waking up, the scene in the dream was still vivid.

The blood-red firelight, the hideous beast head, the one-eyed monster, the beast body full of tentacles, and the dwarf with a wailing gut piercing the belly, these images made the Great Elder wake up in a cold sweat all over his body.

From that day on, he understood that the evil force had finally appeared, and the premonition of five hundred years ago was finally about to come true.

But when he told the current Dwarf King about his hunch and dream, the Dwarf King didn't take it to heart at all, and even thought that the Great Elder was thinking too much.

Hundreds of years of settlement have made the sunset dwarves attached to the comfortable life they now have.

There was also a complete one-sided situation in the clan, and almost all the dwarves thought that the Great Elder didn't need to be so nervous, it was just a dream.

There are even vicious dwarves who think that the Great Elder is old, so they start talking nonsense.

Among the current sunset dwarves, there are no dwarves who still remember the language spoken by the Great Elder when he was young more than five hundred years ago.

Looking at the bright torches in front of him, the Great Elder pulled back his thoughts, smiled at the dwarven guards walking by, and secretly clenched his fists: "I will never let that happen." ”

After making up his mind, the Great Elder let out a deep breath and walked towards the deepest altar in the kingdom of the Sunset Dwarves.

The underground city of the sunset dwarves is hundreds of meters underground, and the stone corridors and palaces criss-cross it, and the spiral construction is built layer by layer, if there is no dwarf to lead the way, after outsiders break in, it is bound to be lost in it for a long time, which is also one of the reasons for the self-confidence of the sunset dwarves.

However, the last fifty meters of the underground city are places where no one is allowed to enter except for sacrifices, even the most noble dwarf king is not qualified to enter.

There was an altar dedicated to the goddess of nature, and in the entire Sunset Dwarf tribe, only the Grand Elder and the rest of the priests were allowed to enter.

The heavily guarded guards on the perimeter of the altar bowed deeply in respect when they saw the Grand Elder coming, and then made a way for the Grand Elder to walk onto the suspended stone bridge that led to the altar.

This stone bridge spans both ends of the underground karst cave, only less than one meter wide, the thinnest place is really only as wide as two palms of adult humans, about more than one hundred and fifty meters, it is a pure natural formation of the passage, below is the bottomless underground abyss, no one knows what is below, as long as you fall down, it is impossible to find the body in this life.

The Great Elder tightened his robes and cautiously crossed the stone bridge.

He was not afraid at all, and his belief in the goddess of nature led him to believe that the gods would silently protect him.

Crossing the stone bridge, in front of the Great Elder was a five-meter-high stone gate, a heavy stone gate that required them to look up to see the top for a dwarf who was less than a meter tall.

The stone gate is also a pure natural formation, and the surrounding walls are integrated, there is a clear bottom spring water left on it, thousands of years, the flowing spring water on the stone gate washed out the slippery ravines of different depths.

The most conspicuous thing is the pattern of an eyeball in the middle of the stone gate.

This pattern is obviously also made by natural water washing, and the magic of nature has to be amazing.

No matter which direction you look at it, you will feel that it is also staring at you all the time.

It was precisely because of this eyeball pattern that the Great Elder decided to build this place as an altar at that time.

The Great Elder firmly believed that as long as he sincerely prayed to the goddess of nature at the altar of this eyeball, he would surely be able to sound the solemn voice of the goddess in his heart.

The Great Elder took a deep breath and reached out to press on the stone door.

The water flow on the stone gate suddenly seemed to come to life, and the water droplets jumped like pearls falling on a jade plate, making a tinkling and crisp sound.

The beautiful music of heaven pierced far away, and the guards at the other end of the stone bridge all had a look of fascination on their faces.

After a few moments, the song ended.

The stone gate creaked and slowly opened, and the water vapor behind the stone gate suddenly gushed out, and the white mist erupted, engulfing the Great Elder in it in an instant.
