For magical creatures like shark lizards, apart from eating, their greatest pleasure is mating.
However, most male shark lizards are unwilling to take the initiative to go out and look for another female shark lizard. Unless they occasionally encounter one when changing territories, they would rather stay in one place until the next cycle.
This is why Woody feels that there is no difference between them and homebodies to a certain extent.
"Don't move around. This is a liquid secreted by shark lizards. It has an aphrodisiac effect. Gray dwarves and underground drow occasionally use it to make intoxicating drugs."
Woody warned as he headed towards another location with fewer rocks.
Generally speaking, shark lizards will pile unused debris and unnecessary things in corners. According to past experience, Woody avoided the piles of rocks and then started from an area with the least amount of rocks.
location, start searching.
Soon, he found a pile of debris piled into a hill.
Woody stepped forward to search without saying a word.
Worn furs...broken wooden frames...oh and fishing nets...what is this?
Woody touched a cold, heavy and thick rod-shaped object, which was a little strange.
But it soon stopped being strange. When the rag was lifted, he stuffed the rod back into the pile of scattered humanoid skeletons.
An unknown person's bone.
Woody is even weirder.
Because skeletons are normal in the lair of powerful monsters, but they are very abnormal in the lair of shark-lizard beasts.
Because the Shark-Lizard will eat everything it can eat, like human skeletons, it is like humans eating French fries. Even if it is not finished in one meal, it can be used as a snack for the next meal.
What's more, it doesn't have the habit of spitting out bones after eating.
However, the thickness and thickness of the rod just now, as well as the aura of telepathic feedback exuding from it, made him think of the possibility that these were not human skeletons.
Instead, they are gray dwarves who live underground and were tortured by the Mind Flayer to give birth to psychic powers...
Because there are only two kinds of meat that Shark Lizards don't eat, one is elves, and the other is dwarves.
The former is said to be because the mysterious mage who created the shark lizard beast added elven magic to it, and the latter is because the smell of the dwarves' flesh seems to be similar to their feces...
He seems to be an unlucky guy...
It stands to reason that dwarves, especially gray dwarves, have far more experience in dealing with shark lizards than humans. After all, they have been dealing with this kind of monster that parades in the ground all year round. Some gray dwarf mines will even take the initiative to raise and imprison a shark.
lizards to avoid other shark lizards from accidentally entering their mines.
But as Woody continued to search, he discovered that the number of unlucky ones might be a bit too much...
After counting carefully, there were seven or eight of them. Logically speaking, let alone the Shark Lizard Beast, it was not impossible for the Explosive Hammer Shark Lizard Beast to kill them.
After all, dwarves are born warriors and blacksmiths. It is not difficult for them to achieve extraordinary strength and physique. Dwarves born with the grace of Moradin can even reach 20 points in physique and strength without exercising as adults.
above.
What's more, gray dwarves were once slaves of the mind flayers, and with the gift of their former masters, they became a new psionic race. Their natural ability to grow in size and invisibility allows them to deal with most ordinary encounters underground.
This is impossible!
And if there is a gray dwarf tribe, it is impossible for the shark-lizard beast to be so rampant, unless... the gray dwarf tribe is gone.
Although Woody had never heard of any underground ruins nearby in Palermo in his last life, there were only ashes and ruins in this place...
Gu Xi
But every time he thought of the underground, the figure of the drow priest would cross his mind subconsciously.
The relationship between drow and gray dwarves is not that harmonious. The underground resources are far less scarce than those on the surface. In a dark area, it is common for the two to fight each other.
If the new drow had driven out the gray dwarf tribe, everything would have gone smoothly.
He fled as the defeated one, and finally encountered the "Shark Lizard Beast", an underground predator that had been waiting for a long time when he was exhausted. The outcome was obvious.
Woody looked through the trash with a heavy heart.
If it was as he thought, that the drow were so powerful that they could completely wipe out a tribe that originally occupied the ground, then the power behind it must be more than what appears on the surface.
The only thing to be thankful for is that he has escaped the sight of the drow. Now he only needs to follow the steps and leave Palermo with his aunt Verando and the others.
As for Angelena, she can continue to stay here. Judging from the previous life, the group of drow should be targeting the aristocracy of each city, so the turmoil at the upper levels should not be a big problem at the lower levels.
However, let’s ask her if she can leave then.
Woody put aside distracting thoughts and continued searching.
However, Woody had already rummaged through the debris pile, and he discovered that the Shark-Lizard Beast really left behind a bunch of debris, not a single one of which was useful, and not even any valuable equipment.
However, as a magical beast, the shark lizard beast has a keen insight into identifying magical items with a magical scent. Even if it hates the gray dwarf and hates the smell on his body, it will not leave such a precious magical item there together.
"Come and see!"
At this moment, Angelina's call came to Woody's ears.
He followed the sound and found that the monk girl had reached the other end opposite her at some point.
"What?"
Woody patted the dust on his body, got up and walked over, and found Angelina pointing at a wall and asking curiously.
"It looks like there were patterns on it before, and there seems to be a statue here before."
He looked over and found that there were indeed traces of reliefs that had not been completely worn out on the otherwise round and smooth walls, which were similar to the relief of the rotten mother tree in the basement of the manor, but this relief was much smaller than that one.
He could barely make out a figure, but his appearance had been corroded, but Woody could still tell which deity it belonged to from the Broken Arrow emblem that had not yet been worn away on his chest.
"Dulag", the god of gray dwarves and protector of wandering dwarves
It was also He who freed the gray dwarves from the control of the mind flayers and regained their freedom.
The base of the statue, which was originally the statue, also had this line of writing written in underground language and dwarf language.
"Please protect all the gray dwarves, the protector who walks in the wilderness, please bless the people in the gray stone - "Toric Dunbar"
It should look like a duergar sacrificial place.
Woody planned to step forward to observe and explore to see if he could find any clues.
But as Woody explored, he discovered a mechanism hidden in the base.
