In addition to the system soldiers, Hilo's manpower also includes several barbarians led by Bullock, plus more than a dozen desert mercenaries led by Mahmoud, making them very powerful.
The barbarians are all tall and powerful, and their weapons are also miscellaneous, but they are basically cruel weapons such as war hammers, meat-cutting axes, and maces. With the blessing of their brute strength, the lethality of these weapons has been increased to At the limit, it is not a problem to kill one enemy with one blow.
The desert mercenaries are known for their dexterity. They are equipped with hand crossbows and scimitars, and their combat effectiveness is also quite amazing.
Coupled with system soldiers who have been baptized by several battles, the combat effectiveness of Shiloh and his team cannot be underestimated.
But even so, he still carefully directed the team forward.
Along the way, no one encountered any accidents, but no matter how loudly they shouted, there was no response from Little Jack and others. If it weren't for the ropes hanging down in the mine, Shiloh would have doubted whether Little Jack and the others had set foot in this place. Abandoned city.
The surrounding houses are all made of stone. To build such a magnificent city, I don't know how much manpower and material resources were consumed. After all, even after Stormwind City mastered the method of making mirage ash, it has not renovated or renovated all the houses.
But the only strange thing is that the doors of these houses are very small, and you have to bend down to enter.
While Shiloh lamented the strength of the race that once lived here, he also paid attention to the surrounding environment: stone roads branching off to far away places, submerged in ruins.
After a while, everyone made a discovery. Under the collapsed and broken wall, a white skeleton was half exposed.
"Be careful and see what's going on with the bones."
Bullock was about to move forward, but Hilo stretched out his hand to stop him. Then Bullock saw the big man who had been following Hilo silently, his whole body wrapped in thick iron armor, walking over.
It's an armored guard.
Bullock still can't forget to this day that the armored guard holding a wooden shield blocked the combined attack of him and another barbarian.
Tsk tsk, this guy can only resist beating with a wooden shield. Now that he's wearing iron armor, I don't know how long it will take to kill him.
The armored guard walked forward step by step, and finally came to the broken arm. He reached out and pushed, and with a terrifying 15 points of strength, he easily lifted the wall to the side, and then dragged the corpse out.
Shiloh came over, glanced at it, and then frowned.
Why is it the body of a child?
I saw that this white skeleton was extremely small, in the shape of a human, with four limbs and five fingers, about 1.3 meters tall.
Judging from the skull, it should be a human being. There are cracks all over the bones, especially a fist-sized hole in the skull, which may have been caused by the collapse of the wall.
Was this city built by humans?
Shiloh suddenly became confused. He squatted down, even picked up the bones, and observed them carefully.
Although his body shape is that of a child, his bones are extremely strong, comparable to those of some strong men.
He thought for a while and seemed to see some clues. He ordered in a deep voice: "Search the nearby houses. If you find corpses, bring them all over."
Everyone took the order and lowered their bodies, leaving only a few dozen people to guard Shiloh's safety. After about a few minutes, they walked out one after another holding some corpses that had turned into bones.
The corpses discovered this time finally showed changes. In addition to the short corpses like children, there were also some weird half-human, half-animal corpses.
Long tail, snake head, small forelimbs and thick lower limbs...these corpses are the corpses of lizard people!
The only thing that makes people care is that there is no adult body!
Seeing this scene, Hilona still wonders whose city this is.
Short body, thick bones.
Only the legendary dwarves could give birth to such a skeleton!
Thinking of this, all the clues are connected together.
Why is there a city underground? Because dwarves naturally like to rely on mountains to build cities, and even build magnificent underground cities.
Why is there a dwarf city under the Gold Coin Island? Because the rich minerals on the Gold Coin Island are a supreme treasure for the dwarves!
Shiloh took a deep breath. He did not expect that the dwarf he had always wanted to recruit would appear in front of him in such a dramatic form.
However, these dwarves have now turned into bones, and I don’t know if they are dead.
As for the body of the lizard man...
Maybe a war broke out between the dwarves and the lizardmen, and they both died in the chaos.
Thinking of this, Shiloh suddenly felt that there was a doubt in his speculation, that is, how could the dwarves who were able to build such a prosperous city be defeated by the barbaric and primitive lizard people? There must be more secrets hidden in it.
At this moment, Shiloh's nose moved, and suddenly he smelled an extremely disgusting smell slowly wafting from the center of the city. This was a strong putrid smell, almost nauseating, and the air seemed to change in an instant.
It becomes sticky and sticks to the pores, making it extremely uncomfortable.
This is a kind of psychological and physical torture.
Shiloh raised his head and looked at the pyramid in the center of the city. Sure enough, only by getting there can the secrets hidden in this abandoned dwarf city be revealed.
Only there can the mystery of the dwarves who have disappeared for many years be solved.
----------------------------------------
Everyone continued to move forward, and along the way, more and more corpses were found. The corpses of countless dwarves and lizardmen were entangled with each other, fighting with weapons.
What is surprising is that there is a thick layer of dried mucus on the ground. After drying, it makes a crackling sound when stepped on. I don't know what is left behind.
While shouting the names of Little Jack and others, everyone approached the pyramid. After a while, they arrived in front of the pyramid. The piles of corpses here could almost be described as a mountain of corpses. At a glance, they were so densely packed that the edges were almost invisible.
A rough calculation shows that the number of dwarves and lizardmen who died here is at least thousands.
Shiloh and others walked a few steps forward and came to the steps of the pyramid. In front of them, there was a row of strange cocoons. Some were broken, with broken bones exposed from inside, while others were intact.
Under the pale surface, a strange green color oozed out, flickering like a heartbeat or a squirming stomach.
Shiloh was about to say something when he suddenly saw several of the white cocoons rising and falling rapidly, as if something was tearing inside.
Everyone did not dare to be careless and prepared to prepare.
At this moment, the white cocoon-like thing suddenly collapsed inward, and then exploded with a snap. A slave immediately rolled out of it, with his belly bulging high, like a pregnant woman about to give birth.
As soon as the slave escaped from the white cocoon, he immediately screamed loudly in panic and looked at his belly in great panic. Before everyone could react, they only saw the slave vomiting out a mouthful of yellow-green body fluids, and then fearfully
Shout to Shiloh: "Run, run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his belly turning rapidly, as if there was something hiding in it. Then with a pop, the slave's belly exploded, and a dozen small spiders as big as fists immediately emerged from his belly.
