Chapter 6: The Dwarves
Zhou Huan exhaled deeply and calmed down the blood and qi of his exercise just now. But at this time, Zhou Huan, who had been guarding for three days, finally heard movement again.
It was a rock-like creaking sound, rough and heavy. At this time, Zhou Huan happened to hear it from behind him, almost subconsciously, Zhou Huan hid in the bushes in front of him, and at the same time his eyes looked to the opposite side.
The rock wall, which had been covered with grass and shrubs, suddenly parted from it, and there was a violent grinding sound. This time, he could finally see the short back again. At the same time, because Zhou Huan is facing the opposite side, everything can be seen clearly.
And this time, Zhou Huan clearly realized that he couldn't find the other party a few days ago, and that was because the mechanism they did was too superb. The moving gate made of a whole rock can't even find a gap, and the whole fit is extremely perfect. Even if Zhou Huan looked carefully, he would never be able to find this place, it was too safe.
This time, Zhou Huan did not choose to come out and meet the other party. Because while he was seeing all this, he finally saw the short figure clearly.
When Zhou Huan looked at it from behind, it wasn't very clear. But this time, looking at it from the front, I was finally really surprised. There is no other reason than that this short figure has a gray beard that is twisted into a braid.
The short body is not weak, and it looks a little stronger. The horizontally developed flesh does not seem much lighter than that of an adult.
"It's a person with dwarfism, but this one is a little too tough. Looking at this short figure, Zhou Huan said in surprise.
So, Zhou Huan began to get up with each other. He found that the other party did not come out in his direction, in order not to startle the snake, Zhou Huan did not move again.
The massive rock door, closed since the dwarf had come out, was once again undetectable.
At this time, Zhou Huan waited for more than half a day, until Zhou Huan was impatient to wait, and the dwarf appeared in front of Zhou Huan again.
I saw that he was carrying a huge wild boar on his body, and he walked very easily and freely in a size that did not fit his body proportions. In a blink of an eye, he came to the rock gate again, and Zhou Huan didn't know how he moved, so he saw the gate open again, and then he saw the short man carrying a wild boar behind his back, and the door closed again in an instant.
Without an estimate, Zhou Huan walked over again, but found that he still couldn't find the mechanism and other things that opened the door.
But fortunately, Zhou Huan has found the location of the gate, which is very good compared to the previous headless and brainless. Because he had an idea, if this rock door was not too thick, Zhou Huan could enter it in another way.
Soon, he used the Tukunlun that he had only recently practiced. Zhou Huan has been able to use the Liliang of the earth maturely, and the control of the land has naturally become stronger.
His hands glowed with an earthy yellow glow, and then he pressed his hands on the ground in front of the rock gate. As soon as the hands were mistaken, the earth began to crack, and soon a hole appeared that could fit into a person.
Zhou Huan looked at the hole, laughed and jumped down.
After entering, he used the unearthed Kunlun again to manipulate the land in front of him again, compressing it to both sides. And Zhou Huan was even more controlling the land while walking forward.
It wasn't until he thought he should have crossed the rock gate that he dug in. Soon, there was an extra hole in front of Zhou Huan, Zhou Huan listened carefully, and after there was no sound, a vertical leap jumped out of the land.
Zhou Huan looked around, but found that most of the surrounding walls were made of rocks. The whole corridor is very large, and I don't know where it leads ahead. After Zhou Huan made a decision, he still walked forward. ...,
This corridor is a bit long and crooked. In addition to enhancing safety, Zhou Huan also found that the road was built according to the terrain. This kind of building jishu is very clever, and it just avoids many difficult excavation places and chooses the easier ones to excavate.
It not only saves effort, but also makes the wall stronger. At least such a rocky wall passage will not collapse so easily.
When Zhou Huan gradually walked forward, he found that this road seemed to extend on the Xiangxia slope, which showed that the building was underground.
How long is it? Zhou Huan was a little depressed, the length of this passage is amazing, and now Zhou Huan has walked a distance of nearly two hundred meters, and still has not found anything. What a terrible construction project this is, if this is a different shijie, in the absence of earthwork excavation machinery, only by manpower, it is indeed to admire.
After walking another hundred meters, Zhou Huan finally found the light in front of him. At the same time, he found that the road he was walking on was gradually widening, and it seemed that he would soon be able to get out of this realm.
When Zhou Huan walked out of the hole, he found himself at an intersection that extended in all directions. He looked behind him, only to find that there were several holes behind him, swarthy and unsure of where they lead.
After glancing, Zhou Huan chose to continue walking in front of him, because he found that he could already hear voices in front of him. Zhou Huan chose to walk over cautiously, and when he walked through the two forks again, he was finally able to hear the sound of people's voices.
He heard many people talking loudly, but the voices were too cluttered to make out what was being said. And when Zhou Huan looked outside, he was shocked by everything in front of him.
Because he found that all the people in front of him looked about the same, and even the height was about the same. Everyone is about 1.2 meters tall, and they can't even catch up with Zhou Huan's height. And each of them, with a braided beard. In addition to his face, he also has an incomparably strong body.
At this time, everyone sat around the ground and gulped down the wine in a small wooden barrel, and the strong smell of wine stimulated Zhou Huan. Not only that, but some of them were roasting some food there, and among them, Zhou Huan saw the figure who brought him in at the beginning.
At this time, the short figure was there concentrating on roasting the wild boar he had brought back, but it looked a little jerky, if it was Zhou Huan's barbecue, at least it would be much stronger than him.
Looking at his clumsy appearance, Zhou Huan was finally able to understand the pain of a dwarf, and here, it seemed that all of them were dwarves. At this time, he finally realized that he was a time-traveling person, and there was a race often mentioned in time-traveling novels.
"Could it be that they are dwarves?" Zhou Huan looked at the group of people and finally remembered. After looking at it, Zhou Huan found that they looked really similar to the dwarves mentioned in the novel. They like to drink and are natural warriors, but I don't know if they will be masters of iron.
At this time, most of them were sitting on the ground, constantly drinking with some other dwarves, some dwarves were fighting wine, and the two dwarves were drinking with red faces and red ears, and no one would admit defeat, and the quarrel was red and thick-necked.
However, it is precisely because of this that we can see more clearly the feelings between them, which is a very harmonious and unusually united race. It's just that they seem to have a more short-tempered temper, and they always swear when they speak.
One even more strange thing is that Zhou Huan actually found that what they said was the same as his own, which means that the two races did not have any linguistic surprises. He thought that he would let Zhou Huan play sign language, but he was extremely surprised. ...,
Seeing these dwarves drinking wine and eating meat there, Zhou Huan couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart, it was a kind of home-like touch. He couldn't tell where it came from, but he knew that he envied these dwarves.
And at this moment, a coughing voice suddenly sounded. This cough didn't sound very high, even a little hoarse. But it was the sound of coughing that silenced all the dwarven noises.
Zhou Huan was shocked, and at the same time said secretly: Master.
Because only a true master can do this, the owner of this voice is more interested in Zhou Huan.
He hid his form, hiding behind the rocks, and only half of his head went out, looking ahead. He noticed that inside one of the holes, a short, somewhat rickety figure had emerged.
They are also dwarves, not very tall, but they give people a sense of tallness. Zhou Huan was very strange about this feeling, but when Zhou Huan saw him for the first time, that feeling was deeply imprinted in Zhou Huan's heart.
He was a very old dwarf, even his beard had turned gray, and his body was not as strong as those dwarves, but thin, and even his body was supported by the crutches in his hands.
The old man looked extremely thin, for he had to cough before he could take a step. When he coughed, he gagged his mouth with his fists, and each cough made his body appear more rickety.
When the old man appeared, all the dwarves stopped moving. It can be seen that this old dwarf has a high status and is very prestigious.
When the old man of the dwarven tribe stood in the middle, all the voices of the voice were gone, and many of the dwarvens also stood up around the old man of the dwarven tribe, as if they were ready to listen to something.
Sure enough, the old man spoke, and then he heard the old man cough and say, "Everyone, I believe you already know that in another month, it will be the most important day for our dwarf race, and it will also be the day of our race's revival. Each of us is looking forward to this day, and this time, our race must not fail. ”
When the old man finished speaking, all the dwarves let out a loud cheer.
Zhou Huan was very puzzled, why did he say such a few words, and he couldn't understand what they were talking about. And at this time, I heard the old man speak again: "The guest behind us, I don't know if you can come out, let us enter the friendship of the landlord." ”
When he heard this, Zhou Huan was in a cold sweat on his back.
