The Odd-Face Clan jumped and made trouble all the way, but Gordon and the others lost the relaxed mentality they had before.

Listening to the pork chops, they are getting closer and closer to that "underground spring".

Sure enough, the Strange-Faced Clan took that energy as a guide.

The karst landforms in the northern part of the Great Ant Grave Wasteland have caused a large number of cavities to exist in the ground in this area, and collapses occur from time to time, and according to Hertha, the altars of the Strange-faced people are located in the depths of the collapsed rift somewhere.

As long as you go deeper into the rift, you can get closer to the area where the energy flows.

This is also in line with the story of the "Underground Golden Country" told by the Golden Strange Face Clan.

When they reached the bottom of the rift valley, they went into a cave.

There are many dead ends in the passages in the cave, and it is very easy to get lost, so Gordon and the others have to follow closely behind the Strangeface Clan.

For these little ones, the underground cave is like their storehouse, and they can always find the right direction.

In this way, after bending left and right in the cave for a while, they finally came to the underground cave where stalactites were lined with pillars and the bottom could not be seen.

"Why do you think the ground here is a little warm?" Xianglan raised her foot and looked at the flesh pad at the bottom of her paws, and shook her ears, "Meow won't get close to magma?" ”

"Although the cave is very deep, it is still far from where the lava flows, and the bottom here is not as thin as the volcanic zone."

Hertha squatted down as she spoke, pressing her palms to the ground and feeling it, it really didn't have the moist and cool feeling that should be in the cave.

She wasn't quite sure: "Maybe it's also because of the leyline energy?" ”

Although, her own understanding of this word is not clear.

However, the director of the Institute of Ecology said that the reason why the ecological cycle of the New World flourished to such an almost abnormal level is inseparable from the circulation of "leyline energy".

As for where this energy began and where it ended, it is still not fully understood.

Glancing at the altar a little farther away, Gordon shook his head, "Let's go over first and ask Mr. Monroe for some information." ”

The Odd-Faced Clan had gathered around the altar.

The so-called altar is actually a high platform made of countless shiny metal ores, and at the top of the high platform, there is a shining piece of gold.

Led by the chief priest, the Strange-Faced people performed a strange dance.

Different from the kind of celebration of festivals on the road, cheerful and casual dances, the Qimian people dance very neatly at this time, stepping on the drumbeat of the leather drum, mysterious and solemn.

Mr. Monroe stood by and watched it all in silence.

In the past two days, he had established a very deep friendship with the Odd-Faced Clan, but he was not a real member of the Strange-Faced Clan after all, so naturally he would not join in this religious ceremony.

"Mr. Monroe, is there really any 'god' coming?" Gordon asked in a low voice.

Monroe leaned on his bone staff and was silent for two seconds before he said, "If it had been a few days ago, I would have given a negative answer right away."

It's like when we pray to the sky, to the gods, and no miracle will come to us right away.

No matter how devout these strange-faced people are, the 'gods of the earth' should not be able to hear them.

But now, I'm a little unsure.

The leylines are continuing to increase, and if this continues, there may be some real possibility of some vision. ”

Gordon's brow furrowed slightly, he didn't like the "roundabout" way of speaking of scholars.

"In other words, is there really a possibility that the 'Golden Mother Earth Goddess' will appear?"

"Yes."

The experienced orc scholar nodded, "I've talked a lot with Cancan in the past two days, oh yes, Cancan is the name of the Golden Strange Face Clan.

Chan Chan said, "The gods love ores.

If that person was attracted by the energy of the leylines, happened to pass by nearby, and noticed this large pile of high-quality ore here, it was indeed possible to appear. ”

"Understood, is there any more specific information?" Gordon asked.

"It also said that the breath of the 'gods' could instantly melt the metal ore into a liquid state, which should be some kind of ultra-hot breath.

When liquid metal is stained on its body, it forms a 'golden armor', which is extremely hard

Wait, what do you guys want to do?! ”

Monroe jerked his head to look at Gordon, "Hey! I know you're good, but don't mess around!

Not to mention the description, it may be a super giant ancient dragon, these 'believers' alone are enough for you to drink a good pot! ”

Gordon gave Monroe a helpless look, "Don't really treat us as reckless people with muscles growing into our brains, if it is an existence with no malice towards us, we would rather stay away." ”

"That's good, it's best to be safe."

Monroe nodded, "Listen to Cancan's meaning, when the moon rises in the middle of the sky, and the strength of the earth's leyline energy reaches its peak, the 'god' will appear.

I'm interested in the Strangeface dance, so you can go and rest for now. ”

Ignoring the old scholar's subtext of "leave quickly after asking, don't disturb my research", Gordon continued to ask: "One last question.

I've always wondered if this kind of full moon night, what is midnight, is there really a saying, or is it wishful thinking of romantic thinking? ”

“.”

The seasoned orc scholar seemed to be choked by this question, took a deep breath, and then said: "There is a saying on the night of the full moon, the leyline energy will become relatively active, refer to the tides.

As for midnight, it's probably nothing, theoretically, the leyline energy tide and the mysterious ancient dragon could be at any time."

In the middle of Monroe's words, the ground suddenly trembled, and the stalactites at the top of the cave crackled and fell.

The pork chop next to him screamed, "Meow!" That energy is surging up! ”

Gordon's hair stood on end.

He didn't expect that the change in the energy of the leylines could also cause geological activity, knowing that they were now in an underground cave, and above them was the rift valley from which the earth had collapsed.

At this time, there is a subsidence, and they can't run out!

Grabbing the scholars, ignoring the cheering Odd-Faced Clan, Gordon yelled at his companions, "Prepare to retreat!" ”

However, at this moment, a suffocating heat wave came, and the boulders and stone pillars in the depths of the cave softened into a liquid state like ice and snow under the flames, and flowed away.

A graceful giant shadow, accompanied by a bright golden light that makes it difficult to open its eyes, slowly stepped out of the darkness.

Gordon lowered the arm that was hidden in front of him slightly, and the majestic life in his sight was suffocating.

It had large golden horns that seemed to be made of pure gold, and the same golden dress was draped over it.

Its steps are slow and elegant, like a lady at a banquet. No, it's the Queen.

Even, to use the word "queen" to describe it is a little arrogant.

Perhaps only the title of "Golden Mother Earth Goddess" can be worthy of the life in front of you.

The ground shook rhythmically.

Faced with the "gods" slowly walking in, the Strange-Faced Clan retreated in horror.

This is not surprising, just like someone who makes a wish on a meteor and suddenly finds that the meteor has turned a corner, and when it falls towards him, he will also turn around in panic and run.

The only exception is the Golden Odd Face.

It whimpered, kneeling in front of the altar of countless ores, and kept shouting something.

The god's golden eyes swept over the mountain of ore, or sacrifice, and after a brief silence, it lowered its head and snorted a stream of heat that distorted the air from the tip of its nose.

The mountain of ore suddenly turned into a pool of bright golden molten liquid, flowing and spreading, and it seemed that it was about to envelop the canon.

The "god" gently swayed its long golden tail like a gown, and the large pool of molten gold from the ore adhered to it, turning into a part of the brilliant skirt.

After all this was done, the "god" turned around, and the stalactites and rock walls in front of him automatically melted into a pathway, and soon, its figure disappeared into the depths of the leylines.

It took more than half a minute for the stunned Cancan to come back to his senses, and it chased after it with a cheer.

More than a dozen of the Strange-Faced Clan let out bursts of exclamation and cheers, keeping up with the footsteps of the bright and shining into the dark and boundless leylines.

More of the Strange-Faced wandered in terror, staying where they were.

The earth shook violently again.

Looking at the falling boulder and the spreading cracks on the ground, Gordon no longer hesitated, picked up Monroe and ran wildly.

"Run! The cave is collapsing! ”
