Chapter 32: A Place of Rest

Arthur noticed that all the dwarves' faces had changed, and couldn't help but ask, "Is the resting place very dangerous?"

Steel Bean whispered, "Danger is only one aspect, the resting place is also the burial place of the dwarven ancestors after they died. In order not to disturb the heroic spirits of our ancestors, our hunting range generally does not cross the Underground Jungle. ”

"So what's next?"

"The purpose of our mission this time is to find the reason for the fire monkey's abnormal movement, so naturally we have to continue to find it, but we have to be more careful later, and the chance of encountering underground demonic beasts in the resting place is greater. ”

The exploration team continued deeper into the jungle, and on the way, Steel Bean introduced Arthur and the others to the origin of the resting place.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the underground world was as unquiet as it was on the ground, and powerful ancient demonic beasts were entrenched in every place suitable for survival.

After the establishment of the Dwarf Furnace Castle, there were demonic beasts on all sides, and the western side of the deeper underground world was also the biggest source of danger, and countless dwarven warriors had their backs to the underground jungle to establish a defensive line, and would rather die than let the demonic beasts cross the jungle. Many dwarves were buried on the battlefield after they died in battle, and these warriors had to protect the dwarven kingdom even after death. Later, all the dwarven warriors followed suit, and it became the resting place of the ancestors.

With the narration of the steel bean, the exploration team also officially stepped into the resting place. The terrain is far more treacherous than the underground jungle, filled with rocky ravines that slope down to a great extent, some of which are several meters wide, and others that are bottomless crevasses in the ground.

The dwarves used this place as a line of defense against the underground demonic beasts, and they did occupy a great geographical advantage.

All the dwarves raised their vigilance, and the exploration party began to move forward cautiously.

And the danger came much sooner than expected.

Without warning, a long black shadow suddenly emerged from a crack in a ravine, arching the one at the end of the line.

The dwarf on the back of the demon lizard jumped out directly, and the black shadow rushed over and entangled the drill mountain demon lizard that had not yet turned over. After being entangled by this black shadow, the three-meter-long Diamond Mountain Demon Lizard was powerless to resist and was dragged into the crack.

Arthur and the others turned around when they heard the movement, and only then did they see the strange appearance of this demonic beast. This monster has a flat body, seven or eight meters long, the upper half of its body has more than ten legs like a centipede, and the lower half of its body has turned into a thin tail, and at this time, it is to wrap its tail around the Diamond Mountain Demon Lizard.

Several dwarven warriors at the back of the team were the first to react, pulling out their axes behind their backs and throwing them at the beast.

There was a thud, and the axe smashed into the upper body of the beast but failed to cause it any damage.

The dwarven warrior who had been swept away from his mount took advantage of this opportunity to pounce, and a large axe that shone with cold light in his hand was rounded and slashed towards the junction of the upper and lower bodies of the demonic beast.

"Come back, don't go near it!" Steelbean rushed from the front of the line.

The upper body of the beast had already stood up, and it spewed a stream of liquid at the dwarf who had swung the axe, and the dwarven warrior immediately let out a miserable scream and rolled on the ground in pain.

A pumpkin-sized hammer wrapped in white light in Steel Bean's hand and threw it over, and the white light hit the head of the demonic beast, exploding the entire demonic beast's head at once.

By the time Arthur and the three of them had come over, the dwarf who had just been rolling on the ground was no longer breathing.

Death came too suddenly, and Gang Bean couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Just bury him here, be careful not to touch his body directly with your hands." ”

Toren explained to Arthur in a low voice, "I know that this kind of demonic beast, called the needle-tailed poisonous centipede, although it is only a fourth-level magical beast, it is covered with poison, and the Diamond Mountain Demon Lizard was pricked by its needle tail and couldn't move, and the brother was sprayed by its venom just now and had no time to save it." ”

A layer of cold sweat faintly appeared in Arthur's palms, this underground world is really full of dangers, if he was sprayed by venom just now, he may not be able to escape the ghost gate.

After burying the dwarven warrior in place, the expedition continued on, this time with all the more careful.

As it turns out, the expedition's perilous journey has only just begun.

After advancing some distance, the team stopped to rest on a slightly gentler stone platform.

Before they could bring out food and water, they heard a slight rustling sound all around.

Joan shot a fireball far away, and through the light of the fire, it reflected the monsters the size of a millstone, making all the dwarves who saw the appearance of these monsters shudder.

These demonic beasts are grayish-brown all over, but they have two reddish-brown tail hooks, and third-level demonic beasts are two-tailed ground scorpions. These magical beasts not only live in groups, but also possess both poisonous and natal magic "strong armor", which belongs to the magical beasts that cannot be provoked and killed.

Steel Bean immediately yelled, "Defend, defend, no one is allowed to rush out!"

All the dwarven warriors circled the back armor of the Drill Mountain Lizard head to tail to form a line of defense, and then took out their shields and put them on the lizard, hiding their entire bodies behind the shield.

As soon as the defense was erected, there was a thud like hail falling on the shield, which was the poisonous scorpion tail needles shot by the two-tailed ground scorpion.

Steel Bean jumped out of the defensive circle directly, rushed into the scorpion swarm, picked up the sledgehammer, and smashed it on the ground scorpion one after another, almost smashing the back armor of the two-tailed ground scorpion directly with a single hammer.

Countless scorpion tail needles around him shot at the steel bean, but the dwarf lived up to the nickname of the steel bean, his body was like a steel cast, and the sharp tail needle could not pierce the skin of the steel bean at all, he only protected his eyes with one hand, and the hammer in the other hand quickly smashed into the surrounding ground scorpions.

Only the dwarf steel bean, which is equivalent to the strength of the human warlord, has the strength to fight the scorpion alone, and the other dwarf roots dare not peek out from behind the shield, as long as they are hit, they will lose half their lives.

No matter how powerful the steel bean is, there is only one person, he only blocked the two-tailed ground scorpion in front of him, and the ground scorpion that pounced on the left and right sides approached the dwarf's defensive circle, and hit the dwarf's shield one after another with its heavy body like a grinding disc, as long as it hit a gap, the poisonous scorpion tail poked in from it.

Two dwarven warriors screamed in pain when they were stabbed by the scorpion tail needle, and two gaps appeared in the defensive formation.

Joan stood up suddenly, the golden shield array in his hand activated, and the rapidly spinning golden shield blocked the scorpion tail needle that shot at him. Joan began to quickly build a magic array, and with one hand slapping the ground, a large flame ignited from the ground and burned to the ground scorpion's most vulnerable abdomen.

After the fifth-level magic "Earth Fire Burning Plain", Joan kept casting spells, and the fire-based magic elements quickly gathered in the air, turning into balls of thumb-sized flames falling from the sky.

The flames flanked up and down, and although they were not deadly, they burned these two-tailed ground scorpions screaming and scurrying, and they could no longer attack the dwarves' defensive circle with all their strength.

Arthur, who was hiding behind the shield, looked at Joan approvingly, and before he knew it, his partners had grown up, and Joan was no longer the Eleventh Highness who only knew how to play handsome and throw fire dragons......
