Chapter 38: Underground Gnomes (1)

Dara vaguely felt the whisper of some kind of creature talking from the hole ahead.

But he didn't have time to dodge or stop to observe, so he could only speed up his pace and shoot out of the hole like an arrow.

Just when Darla felt that the air in his lungs was almost running out, and his lungs were about to burst, he had already rushed out of the hole with a "pop" and fell to the ground.

Darla tore off the mask on her head and took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling so happy that she wanted to scream.

However, this refreshing feeling did not last long, because in the interval between Dara fell to the ground, busy getting some fresh air, three warhammers had already surrounded him.

"Don't move!" shouted the young Ground Murlock, very excited.

It was the first captive he captured.

Dara didn't move, he had already noticed that he was surrounded by three underground gnomes.

Gnomes belong to the camp of goodness, especially warriors, more upright.

Evil gnomes are as rare as righteous drows.

As long as they don't have the malice to hurt them, they won't hurt themselves.

"The stone is on top!" exclaimed Gageda, "a human!"

"Life on the surface. "They don't usually come underground, and they come alone." The last time I saw a human being was more than fifty years ago. ”

Dara couldn't understand what the three underground gnomes were saying, but looking at their expressions, she seemed very surprised by her arrival.

"I'm sorry. Dara whispered, and the three dwarfs immediately stopped talking and stared at Darra.

It seems that they can understand the lingua franca I speak.

Dara grew a little bolder, and then continued: "I have no ill intentions, I just came to my brother. Through no fault of my own, he came down to the ground alone, and he was wounded, so I had to find him as soon as possible, he ......."

"How old is he?" asked the young Earth Pygmy Morlock, glancing at his eldest brother Gageda beside him, if he ventured deep into the heart of the Dark Realm, Gageda would surely come to him without regard for his safety.

"I've dealt with humans," said the Elder Earth, "and they're fickle, some kind, some as evil as the Dark Elves. ”

"If you're lying!" Gageda waved the hammer in his hand, "I'll smash your head!"

The three serious dwarf warriors didn't have the same intimacy as their distant cousins on the surface, and in a way, Dara felt more like a dwarf, except that the underground gnomes were smaller.

"What I say is true, I swear by the name of the sun god Perot. Dara also said seriously and sincerely.

The face of the Earth Elder softened, he knew that the sun god Pero was a god of human faith. In the world of the Pygmy Terres, if someone swears in the name of Calcutta, then no matter how difficult it may be, the oath must be obeyed. It seems that this man is indeed looking for his brother, so he ventured into the dark region so much. In fact, the earth dwarf elder has not seen many humans, and he has not encountered real evil humans, and the legends about evil people are also told to him by his former human friends, so he doesn't know, for some people, making false oaths is not a big deal, and they will come when they open their mouths, anyway, retribution will not be fulfilled until after death, and it will be decided whether they will go to heaven or fall into hell, and the future will be insignificant compared to the benefits of earthly reality.

The Elder of the Earth Nephew waved his hand, and the three Earth Elders put down the war hammer in their hands together.

Darla also breathed a sigh of relief and tucked the mask back into her package.

"What's that?" Morlock asked, somewhat annoyingly.

"A tool, the tool that helped me get through this swamp just now, was made with the help of the gnomes on the surface. Dara explained.

"If what you just said is true," said the Earth Elder Elder "then your younger brother, who is injured and lost in the Dark Regions, is probably already ...... He's dead. ”

And I'm afraid I can't even find the bones.

Food has always been scarce in the underworld.

Creatures that live in the underground world often don't catch any prey for days, or even a month or two, so whenever they have the chance, they will eat a lot of food and feast.

Especially those like you who don't understand the rules of survival in the dark region, and don't know how to take a detour when encountering a swamp, so you have to walk in a straight line.

Thinking of this, the Earth Elder felt a trace of sympathy for the human in front of him.

"No," Darla shook her head slowly, "he's not dead. I'm sure I'll find him. ”

"Go home!" said the Elder Earth, "if you don't want to die here, go home quickly!"

"No, if I don't find my brother," said Darla, "I'm not going back anyway." ”

The Elder Landlord shook his head, sighed, and stopped trying to persuade Darla, and said to the other two Landlord brothers in the language of the Landlord, "Let's go! ”

"What is he going to do?" said Gagda, pointing to Dara and asking the Elder Terrestrial.

The elder thought for a moment and said, "Ignore him." Let's go! No outsiders are welcome in Rock City. He refuses to leave, so let him be here! He is also a warrior, and a warrior has a duty to protect his own life. ”

After the three dwarfs left, Darra's heart felt a little lonely.

For some reason, in the dark, this loneliness is worse than being alone on the surface.

Suddenly, a thought crept into Darra's mind without warning.

Perhaps, Puno is more lonely than I am.

Pello bless, I've got to find him soon.

Dara began to search carefully for what kind of clues Puno had left behind for herself to follow this time.

However, unfortunately, every time I tracked before, I could see the arrow symbol piled up of bones left by Puno, but this time I searched several caves around it, and I didn't find any clues.

Darla's stomach was rumbling with hunger.

The dry food has been eaten.

He had to find a way to hunt on his own.

Darla remembered that she had just seen a few pale crabs with no eyes in a pond in a mine.

I don't know if I can eat it.

In fact, Dara thought about catching one or two just now to try, but because he was in a hurry to find Puno, and that kind of crab looked really disgusting, he gave up.

Now that I think about it, after going deep into the ground, I shouldn't have any picky eaters.

If I could, I should try to chase the rats diligently, like Daniel, the dwarf at the bottom of the rock.

Anyway, it's not like I haven't eaten roasted voles on the surface.

As soon as he thought of this, Dara heard a long-lost "squeak" sound not far away.

Dara was overjoyed and hurriedly followed. (To be continued.) )
