Chapter 364: Rat in the Wheel, Cold Spring Mouth, Ambush
In the Antagrich continent, if a race wants to truly rise and gain recognition and respect from other powerful races, in addition to the national spirit of self-improvement and perseverance, there is another important thing, and that is to have enough
The number and level of powerful Ji Dao masters can serve as the confidence and trump card to stand in the "mainland jungle" for a long time.?
It's a pity that for the cavemen, both the perseverance of the national spirit and the precious racial righteousness are horribly scarce.
Perhaps, the above two items are complementary to each other and have two sides of the same coin.
It is conceivable that in a race with a weak overall appearance and submissive habits, how can a powerful and proud and unruly person be born, who is as straight as the sweet child of heaven? Even if this species has a huge population base that is one of the largest on the continent.
, but for the growth of the Yakuza, it is an extremely desolate desert, without the necessary soil for germination and growth. On the other hand, without the support of the powerful Yakuza and their fight for the right to speak and the right to survive, this race
In other words, we can only sink endlessly into the bottom of the ruthless "quagmire of material competition" and never make a breakthrough.
This is like an unsolvable cycle, and the caveman is a "white rat" running around in the "wheel of cycle". Although he works hard, he can only keep standing still in this cycle until he is exhausted.
The elites have dispersed, and they have lost the last bit of racial dignity and soul, thinking that they are really just like the humble rats.
Therefore, when seeing Pokosi's unwillingness and anger, although Moriarty agreed and approved, he could only sigh in the end. Even if one day this caveman achieves the ultimate level, if it cannot change the spirit of all cavemen
At the same time, there were no less than ten members of the same race to help, but they were also unable to pull the caveman out of this deep quagmire.
Leaving the small plain where Furnace Hill is located, the three of them quickly entered an inconspicuous tunnel passage under the guidance of the cave hunter.
According to Bokesi, this passage is about 30 kilometers long and is relatively flat and easy to navigate. The other end is connected to the mouth of a cold spring, which should be a newly opened water source due to geological tectonic movements. After bypassing the cold spring, there is another
Take another tunnel to reach the cave ogre's temporary lair.
As soon as they entered the previous passage, the three of them immediately marched in battle formation.
Pocos, who serves as a guide and scout, is in the front. The human mage is in the middle, occasionally scanning the surrounding situation with his mental power. D'Artagnan is in the rear, serving as a solid rear guard and strong support.
The passage is basically pitch black, with only little fluorescent moss providing some poor light sources.
However, cavemen naturally have infrared vision and dark perception abilities, so they are not affected. Although minotaurs do not have dim or heat vision, they have extremely sensitive hearing and smell. And after millions of years of natural evolution, their blind fighting ability is extremely powerful. Fundamentally
Unexpectedly, there will be any disadvantages in this dark environment.
Only humans, the dark environment naturally severely restrains and interferes with them. But with "Serena's Secret Eye" and the scanning and detection of mental power, Moriarty can still maintain a clear vision of the surrounding environment.
While entering the passage, he had already put on the "disguised hairpin".
This hairpin was originally an alchemy hairpin left by his mother, Helen, with a simplified version of "magic disguise" solidified inside. When he was doing "private work" some time ago, Moriarty also took the opportunity to modify this hairpin, incorporating it into
His enchantment characteristics have been greatly adjusted in the direction of "temperature shielding". At the same time, with the assistance of "Phantom Cologne", he can now control his own body temperature so that it is basically the same as the surrounding environment.
Even from Pokosi's infrared vision, the image of the human mage is just a blurry shadow that is almost the same as the surrounding rock walls. If you ignore it a little, you will miss it. In this regard, the caveman is extremely respectful and thinks that
"He who can do anything can do anything".
It took about two hours for the trio to pass through a passage that was 30 kilometers long.
As the cavemen said, the journey is smooth and uneventful.
Of course, during the first part of the journey, D'Artagnan had considered Moriarty's status as a human mage and was worried that he would be too tired from the journey, so he took the initiative to slow down his progress. However, in the end, the human mage showed
The abundant physical strength and agile movements once again shocked the tauren. There is no doubt that just from these basic qualities, it can be judged that the opponent should also have considerable foundation and strength in combat duties, which can't help but remind d'Artagnan of darkness.
Some perverts among the elves.
After completing the first thirty-kilometer section of the passage, Hanquankou appeared in front of the three of them.
It was a spring mouth that was obviously newly opened from the ground.
The cold spring water spurted out from a stone pillar about five or six meters high, which was raised from the ground. It flew around like a heavy rain, and then fell into the new rock pool under the pillar, accumulating several feet deep.
The cold pool water. Affected by the volatilization of the pool water, the surrounding temperature has also dropped to almost freezing point, which is very different from the sultry environment common in the underground world.
"This is the mouth of the cold spring, and that's the road leading to the ogre's lair." The cave hunter first made sure that the area around the spring was calm and safe, and then pointed to a narrow tunnel on the opposite side.
"kindness."
Moriarty looked at the next section of passage pointed out by the caveman and nodded. The entrance to the cave was already narrow, and it seemed to be much more difficult to navigate than the way he came from just now.
"Shall we take a rest here?"
After successfully arriving at Hanquan, Bokesi, who was the vanguard of the alert, couldn't help but take a breath and suggested. Moreover, the continuous travel has indeed consumed a lot of energy, so it's time to eat and rest.
"good!"
D'Artagnan had long been attracted by the cool cold water and jumped directly into it. Although the tauren were not afraid of heat, they also liked the coolness very much. They immediately came to the clear bourbon under the spring pillars and had a real "cow drink"
". Naturally, Bokesi didn't dare to compete with the tauren for a seat, so he "voluntarily" ran to the other side of the cold pool, where he also felt refreshed and refreshed.
As for Moriarty, he just stood there, looking at the nearly ten large and small passages distributed around the mouth of the cold spring, and frowned.
To be honest, he didn't think it would be a good thing to stay in such a location with complicated traffic and easy to be attacked from both sides. But when he saw Bokos and D'Artagnan enjoying their clear and happy expressions, the human mage who was not an absolute leader did not think so.
What is the mandatory order? They just asked the two Negon natives to speed up and at the same time released three red crystal gargoyles as mobile sentries.
Seeing Moriarty's cautious actions, d'Artagnan and Pocos naturally understood what the human mage meant, and prepared to fill their water bags and return to Moriarty, continuing to attack the cave ogre.
Advance to the lair.
But at this moment, the magic puppet hovering in the air suddenly let out a sharp scream that pierced people's eardrums.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Immediately, Moriarty also shouted loudly. At the same time, he did not immediately rush to join the minotaurs and cavemen at the cold spring. Instead, he directly released the remaining nine red crystal gargoyles to defend them tightly.
.
When they heard the alarm of the magic puppet and the shout of the human mage, D'Artagnan and Porcos also woke up, each holding the weapons in their hands and glancing around urgently.
In the blink of an eye, from inside the tunnels in all directions outside the mouth of the spring, there were pairs of green and red fierce eyes lighting up. The number was almost immeasurable.
"That's... wolf salamander!"
Bokosi has the gift of dark perception, and he immediately recognized that those green and red eyes were the greedy eyes of the Abyssal Beast Wolf Salamander.
"How is that possible!?" The cave hunter shouted again in surprise.
Logically speaking, although the wolf salamander is gluttonous, it is cautious by nature. At most, it can bully the lone caveman with more strikes. But if it encounters a strong fighting tauren, even just a Minotaur,
The wolf salamander does not dare to provoke the opponent, even if there are more than a hundred of them, but will just run away in despair. But now, why are there so many abyssal beasts ambushing here and dare to attack the tauren? This really makes Poko
Thinking feels incredible.
However, D'Artagnan did not have so many thoughts and suspicions.
When he saw that the sneak attacker was a wolf salamander that started to rush out from the passages on all sides, the young tauren immediately raised the enchanted battle ax in his hand, smiled ferociously and charged towards the enemy. For the tauren, how many people would be killed?
Killing a wolf salamander is even more convenient and easier than killing a few ground flies. What's more, d'Artagnan is now equipped with "top-quality equipment", and of course he will not take a few mere abyssal beasts seriously.
Sure enough, the young tauren killed the wolf salamander group and set off a bloody storm. In just a moment, more than thirty abyssal beasts had died under d'Artagnan's enchanted battle ax. Even many abyssal beasts were not hacked.
The one who died was directly blown up by an ax with "+1 critical hit attribute".
Seeing that the tauren's attack was so ferocious and violent, like a mobile meat grinder, Bokosi's morale was greatly boosted, and he immediately picked up the fern spear in his hand and attacked the wolf salamander rushing towards him. After a while, the same thing happened.
Stab more than ten abyss beasts under the spear.
"What's going on? Why don't these wolves retreat?"
In this way, under the joint attack of d'Artagnan and Bokos, hundreds of wolf salamanders were lost in an instant. Logically speaking, with such casualties, even the most ferocious abyssal beasts would have to retreat. But the problem is
However, not only did the number of wolf salamanders surrounding the minotaurs and cavemen not decrease at this time, but reinforcements continued to emerge from various passages and join the siege.
Finally, even a man as rough as d'Artagnan realized that the situation had changed.
"Grandmaster!"
Now that he realized that the battle situation might not be under his control, the young tauren immediately prepared to move closer to the human mage in order to protect the more fragile magic class. This is also the responsibility that all combat classes must fulfill in the team.
But when its gaze turned back, it was stunned. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
