Mo He, Ding Ding and Brute Hammer finally escaped the pursuit of the prairie ants after hardships. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, this was only the beginning of the escape, and Beamon, who hunted the Thunderhawk, followed them.
Mo He tried to fight with Beamon, this guy who was as hard as iron and as strong as a dragon was really not easy to deal with.
didn't want to lose both, so Mo He let Ding Ding and Brute Hammer run first and stand up for a while.
When Tintin had run far enough with the Brute Hammer, he entered the realm of no new and broke away from the battle to catch up with Tintin and them.
The speed of the Beamon Behemoth is actually very fast, but it is only half a beat slower to react, so it is always a little bit worse to catch them.
Tintin had been running away on the Hurricane, often startling and laughing at Hammer for being too slow, making Hammer want to shoot the arrogant goblin.
The dwarves are born with short legs, and their escape speed is not fast, and the brute hammer has always been used to blacksmith work, and he has practiced arm strength, and now it is even slower.
But now there is no way, the Beamon Behemoth is the king of the mountain, and they can only run away if they meet them before the hammer becomes the king of the hill.
escaped the pursuit of the Beamon Behemoth, and encountered the Dragon Bee, the Quenching Crow, the Black Wind Demon Wolf, and the Purple Electric Python on the way, so that Mo He and the three of them had a vicious fight before they came out of the Autumn Grass Plain.
When you come to the Dragon's Breath Mountains, the grass begins to thin out, and large chunks of stone stretch all the way to the high peaks.
The dwarf took a deep breath and said happily, "It still tastes good from home." β
"What's next?" Mo He looked at the endless stone mountain, already disoriented.
Tintin was also a little unsure, and several times he thought he was in the right direction, and rode the hurricane lizard to explore the way first, only to quickly circle back again.
The dwarf sighed, put his musket back on his back, drew his hammer, and slammed it down on a boulder.
There was a loud bang, and the sound continued to echo among the stone mountains and spread far away.
"When I was a child, I was taken to live in your human city, and I have forgotten the way back to my hometown. Hammer's expression was very melancholy, he put away the hammer, took the musket from his back again, and continued: "I have knocked on the door, and someone will come out to fetch us in a moment." β
Mo He gently patted the dwarf on the shoulder and found a large flat stone to sit down.
Tintin also jumped off the hurricane lizard, wrapped the reins around a stone, climbed up to Mo He and sat side by side, and began to nibble on the dried corpse of the green mantis.
Brute Hammer also sat down, took out a black cloth from his bosom, and wiped his beloved musket back and forth.
After about an hour, Tintin's ears moved and jumped: "Tintin heard a lot of sounds. β
"Don't be impulsive! It's my fellow dwarves. Brute Hammer stood up and reached out to stop Tintin as he pulled out his fork and wanted to fight.
And Mo He's hand on his back that was about to draw out the Demon Dragon Gun was also retracted.
Several short figures emerged from behind the hiding stones, and they came down with muskets or spears.
The first figure was twice as thick as the others, and he was armed with two large iron axes, not angry.
He came to a place twenty or thirty meters away from Mo He and the three of them, looked at the three of them, and after finding the hammer, he opened his mouth and asked, "Is it you knocking on the door?"
Brute Hammer walked to the front and happily replied, "I did it!" Hello! My name is Mithril Axe Banning. Everybody calls me Brutehammer. β
"Hahaha! It turned out to be the lost lamb of Mithril Valley. Hello, my young man, my name is Black Iron Axe. You can call me a conch. Welcome back!" The dwarf put away his two large iron axes and happily opened his arms to the brute hammer.
Brute Hammer immediately stepped forward, and the two hugged each other warmly.
Several dwarves who followed the conch also came over and hugged the brute hammer one by one.
"Brute Hammer! Do you have anything to do when you come back this time? Why do you still have two aliens with you?" Zhan Luo hooked his hand on the brute hammer's shoulder after everyone had greeted him, pointing at Mo He and Ding Ding to ask Brute Hammer.
"Uncle Zhan Luo, this is Mr. Mo He, he has been escorting me back during the trip. And this is Tintin, the little goblin who is in charge of finding our way and my companion. Brute Hammer stretched out his palm to introduce Mo He and Ding Ding to the conch, then withdrew his hand and continued: "I came back this time to have a coming-of-age ceremony. After the coming-of-age ceremony, I will go on an adventure with this Mr. Mo He. β
After listening to the explanation of the brute hammer, Zhan Luo was no longer defensive against Mo He and Ding Ding, and he was still happy to welcome the two to the Dragon's Breath Mountain Range, where the dwarves lived.
"Alright, Brute Hammer, I'll send two warriors to escort you back to Mithril Valley. I wish you a longer beard and healthier!" The conch hugged the hammer again, and shook it vigorously.
Warconch then ordered two dwarves with spears and told them to send the hammer to Mithril Valley.
Bidding farewell to the war snails, Mo He, Brute Hammer and Tintin and the Hurricane Lizard followed behind the two dwarves armed with spears, all the way over the mountains and mountains to a valley with green trees and grass.
At the entrance of the valley there are seven tall stone statues, each of which is more than ten meters high, and according to the Brute Hammer, these are the dwarven powerhouses of the King of the Hill in the past generations of Mithril Valley.
There were five dwarves guarding the entrance to Mithril Valley, and they hurriedly greeted them when they saw a few people coming.
The two dwarves who led the way talked to the five dwarven guards, handed them over the Hammers, hugged each other, and then returned.
A few guards were not much bigger than a brute hammer, and there happened to be no older dwarf leader today, so several guards discussed leaving four people to continue to guard the valley mouth, and one of the guards was responsible for taking them to the farmer's residence.
The chief farmer is responsible for managing the affairs of agriculture and animal husbandry in the valley, and his residence is in the center of the valley.
Along the way, the valley was full of life, with small birds and beasts playing harmoniously among the green jungles, and industrious dwarves ploughing the vast wheat fields in the distance.
"Tintin loves it here!" Tintin led the hurricane lizard and followed everyone behind, unconsciously saying what was in his heart.
Mo He and Brute Hammer smiled heartily and didn't say anything to Ding Ding, while the dwarf who led the way answered proudly: "Of course you will like it here! β
Ding Ding nodded, and continued to look at all kinds of interesting birds and beasts, and a large area of peaceful natural farms and pastures.
The farmer's residence was in a small village with stone houses built entirely of stone.
These stone houses are large enough, but they are much shorter than human dwellings, and the slightest jump in the house is sure to hit your head.
The dwarf who led the way knocked on the wooden door of the farmer's residence, and soon a voice sounded inside: "Come in!"
The dwarf pushed the door open and led everyone inside, and saw the farmer working behind a large wooden desk.
The parchment rolls in front of him were piled up to the roof, and he didn't have time to look up when he knew how many people had come in: "Is there anything you have come to do?"
The dwarf who led the way simply reported the situation of Mo He and the others to the chief farmer, and then the chief stopped the quills that had been busy and looked at everyone.
He looked at the Hammer for a moment, then spoke to the Hammer, "You've been gone for so long that I can't tell if you're a dwarf from our Mithril Valley. Can you tell who our first King of the Hill was in Mithril Valley?"
"It's the Mithril Dragon Lance, Your Majesty Qinghong! The battle cry is: My broadsword is already hungry and thirsty!" Brute Hammer replied without hesitation.
The farmer nodded with satisfaction, took a parchment scroll from the drawer of the wooden table, and wrote on it as he spoke, "You are indeed the dwarf of our Mithril Valley. You are from the Mithril Axe family, and I have no authority to preside over your coming-of-age ceremony, so bring my letter of recommendation to His Majesty the King of the Hill. β
After the parchment scroll was stamped, the farmer handed it to the brute hammer and buried himself again in his mountain-like business.
Hammer told the dwarf who led the way to go back to look after Taniguchi, and then he knew the way back to the underground castle.
The trail was long, and the houses on the left and right became more numerous, and gradually passed a dwarven town.
The dwarven town is very simple, with taverns and iron paved buildings, and there are usually many dwarves gathering in these two places.
After passing through the town and coming to the first stone tower level, the guards checked the seal of the chief farmer and then let him go.
After walking for another half hour, a dwarven city appeared that stretched to the foot of the valley.
Hammer says it's just the surface part of Mithril City, the underground part is larger, and the dwarven nobles live underground.
Looking at Cheng Liang's Mithril cannon and Mithril Dragon Slayer ballista on the city wall, Mo He was secretly amazed by the dwarf's technological strength.
Tintin disdained these dwarven things, and he himself whispered to the side, "Disgusting...... It's disgusting, dirty and bulky, disgusting!"
Before entering the city, the guards checked the scroll in the hand of the Brute Hammer, and after confirming that it was correct, they sent a dwarf to lead them to the underground fortress of Mithril City to meet His Majesty, the King of the Hills of Mithril City.
This dwarf was wearing a full set of Cheng Liang's silver armor, and he walked sonorously, very majestic.
The Brute Hammer followed the dwarven warriors first, followed by Mo He, and finally Tintin who led the hurricane lizard.
The group of four walked for more than half an hour before they reached the huge stone gate that had been artificially hewn out at the foot of the mountain, and there were also a large number of gold-armored dwarven warriors guarding the stone gate.
After reporting the situation to the captain of the gold-armored dwarves, the silver armor warrior dwarf handed over a few people to the other party and returned himself.
The captain of the gold-armored dwarves also inspected the scrolls and called one of his men to take them to the underground fortress.
However, the Hurricane Lizard was not allowed to take it down, and it was led to a sheepfold by another golden-armored dwarf to the side for temporary care.
The passage to the underground castle was carved out to be ten meters wide and five meters high.
The walls of the passage are made of finely carved stones, and every ten meters there are a pair of load-bearing columns built into the walls, also carved with beautiful patterns.
At the end of the passage, another group of golden-armored dwarves were guarding, and ten Mithril cannons on the left and right were aimed at the exit of the passage.
Behind this team of guards there is a stone bridge 100 meters long, under the stone bridge is a bottomless abyss, the entire stone bridge left and right sides of the guardrail inlaid with many self-luminous crystal gems, the entire underground city is used these self-luminous gems to illuminate.
After passing the stone bridge, there is a very large square with sixteen thick stone pillars as load-bearing columns.
The plaza is flanked by shops and various workshops, and behind that are passageways that only reveal gates on the mountain walls, leading to several areas of the city beneath Mithril City.
Through the square, you came to a tall fortress separated from the square by a fifteen-meter-wide moat.
The gates of the fortress were reached through a wooden bridge over the moat.
There were two teams of beige Mithril armor guards guarding the gate of the fortress, and the gold armor guards handed Mo He and them over to the Mithril armor guards and went back.
