It was Marika who broke the silence again: "Another dismantled mechanism. There is also a broken mechanical device here. There should have been a stone door here."
As she spoke, she looked up at the stone bar that looked like a beam above her. "I think it was originally a door. Most of what can be lowered is hidden in the chute of the mechanism."
Wang: "This means we have entered the core part of the dwarven ruins."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ears on Xiaobai's head turned 180 degrees. Before his head turned around, his ears were pointed to the back of the team.
Nini also turned her head. Her long elf ears, which were originally tucked behind her, were now pulled forward and perpendicular to her line of sight, which meant that she was using her ears to locate the sound.
A scream came from the back of the team.
The elves' feathered arrows whizzed into the darkness, and the screams turned into wails.
Wang: "A large group of cavemen are coming to deal with us! Quick, move forward! The traps along the way should have been trampled by the cavemen! Go!"
Marika ran forward first.
The wizard pointed at Elizabeth and said, "Xiaobai, pick her up!"
Xiaobai, who had almost run away, turned back and carried the princess on his back.
Elizabeth: "I don't want to be a burden to you! I can run by myself!"
As soon as Gotrek grabbed Flint's armor, the dwarf shouted, "Don't carry me. Put me on your back. At least I can help you block some of the cavemen's arrows!"
Wang was already running with big strides, not looking like a mage at all.
Nini followed everyone's movements with ease while shooting arrows behind them.
Wang: "Stop shooting! You can't kill all the cavemen! Save your arrows!"
Suddenly, someone stepped on the mechanism and a foul smell sprayed onto their faces from the side.
The wizard immediately realized that something was wrong.
Wang: "They're going to release monsters on us! This stench is just like their rotting flesh!"
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying howl came from the front.
Xiaobai: "So many! All the sounds of things crawling on the ground!"
Wang: "Let me get to the front! Marika, get out of the way!"
The drow picked up the little white beside him and jumped back.
The wizard rushed to the front of the team, holding high the scepter in his hand.
Monsters appeared! Almost as many as the ones that attacked the Ximu Militia tonight, so many monsters filled the entire tunnel, like a wriggling mass of flesh "rolling" towards everyone!
The king activated the power of the scepter, dragon breath once a day!
Strong acid dragon breath spurted out from the transparent and glowing dragon head carving's mouth on the scepter's head, instantly covering the entire tunnel.
The monster's howl turned into a shrill wail!
The powerful acid swallowed up all the flesh and blood in an instant, and the entire tunnel was filled with the pungent smell of dissolving flesh and blood!
Everyone in the team started coughing violently.
The monster behind was not hit by the strong acid. While its "companion" in front was dissolving, it continued to rush towards the crowd. As a result, it touched the strong acid on the ground as soon as it took a step and let out a shrill scream.
The fan-shaped ground in front of the wizard was full of strong acid, which even began to corrode the ancient floor tiles left by the dwarves.
The monsters continued to rush towards the wizard, using the corpses of their fallen counterparts as stepping stones.
Wang: “I knew it!”
He shook his hand, and a small ball covered with bat droppings and sulfur fell into his hand.
As the spell was chanted, a fireball landed in the middle of the enemy group. The violent explosion created an air wave that pushed the mage backwards!
The elf was quick-witted and turned around to block the wizard with his body.
Wang: “Thank you.”
He pushed himself back and stood up.
The two attacks of dragon breath and fireballs destroyed most of the monsters. The remaining monsters were still struggling to get close to the four people who were emitting a foul smell.
The king raised his staff and observed the monster being dissolved by the strong acid: "It seems... these monsters are smaller than the ones that attacked the soldiers in Ximu Town at night. I think they may be 'reserve monsters' that have not grown up yet."
Flint smashed the head of a charging caveman and shouted, "Stop researching! The cavemen are chasing us! Find a solution!"
Wang was about to answer when suddenly cavemen soldiers in distinctive clothing and armor appeared in front of him. Each of them was chubby and strong, and they were wearing leather armor made of leather from unknown sources, and painted in colors that seemed very exaggerated to surface creatures.
Wang: “Oh, this is difficult.”
Marika: "Become a dragon, what are you waiting for?"
"In such a narrow environment? You will be squeezed into a meat paste!" After a brief thought, the wizard said, "Now I have an optimal solution, Marika, use the cavemen's arrows to kill me, so that when my uncle comes, he will kill all the cavemen, and you will survive."
Elizabeth: “No!”
Wang smiled and looked at his teammates reluctantly: "It's okay. This trip is quite fun. I will come back to find you when I master the method of reversing time and space and traveling through dimensions."
Elizabeth: "Charm humans!"
Wang: "What? Who are you using it on? They are cave dwellers..."
The wizard stopped and pointed at himself with sudden realization: "To me? It's useless. I don't know why I am particularly resistant to charm people. In fact, although my own enchantment spells always fail, I am also inexplicably resistant to enchantment spells."
Before he could finish his words, the wizard shut up.
It seems that Elizabeth's charm to humans is particularly effective, even fools can fall for it.
The dwarf turned his head and glanced: "Hahahaha, maybe the princess can restrain this fool."
As he spoke, he excitedly smashed the skulls of a few more cavemen.
At this time, the cave dwellers in distinctive clothes and armor were watching everything here through the fire and strong acid, and they didn't even shoot arrows.
Elizabeth: "Think of a solution! A solution other than suicide!"
Wang: “But that’s the best solution.”
Elizabeth: "Fuck your optimal solution! The optimal solution is that you don't leave! I don't want to be separated from you! Find a solution quickly!"
The king thought for a few seconds and asked Xiaobai, who had turned into a bear, "Can you turn into a worm? The kind that dwarves use as mounts."
The bear paused and shook his head.
Wang: "What about the groundhog? If it grows bigger, it will become the king of the mountain forest."
The next moment, Xiaobai turned into an oversized groundhog.
The wizard took out a handful of iron powder from his bag, and with gestures and spells, sprinkled the iron powder at Xiaobai!
The already huge groundhog instantly doubled in size!
King: "This is the improved Giant Transformation Technique of our Mage Tower. It can also make animals grow larger! Now, dig a hole, Xiaobai! Start digging from the corroded bricks and dig a way out!"
At this time, Nini also began to cast a spell. As the spell was completed, a yellow light appeared on her hand! She touched the groundhog that Xiaobai had transformed into with her hand full of light!
Then a glow appeared on the groundhog's front paws, and the entire paw doubled in size, making it look like it could dig even better!
King: "Alright, the ranger's digging technique! Dig, Xiaobai!"
Xiaobai slapped the ground with one palm, and the rotten dwarf floor tiles instantly cracked. He was thrown backwards by the groundhog's giant palm and smashed into the caveman's army!
Chapter 95 Dwarf Advanced Infantry
Wang frowned, "Hmm?"
He immediately changed his mind and said to Xiaobai, who had already dug one meter into the ground, "Stop digging! Throw rocks at them!"
The giant mole was stunned for a moment, and the whiskers on its mouth trembled. Then it grabbed the rubble that had just been broken on the ground and threw it at the caveman who was chasing it from behind.
This was a devastating blow, with gravel sprayed out in a fan-shaped pattern, knocking down a large number of cave dwellers.
Especially those malnourished and skinny cave dwellers, one piece of gravel could knock down several of them, and a handful of gravel thrown over was like countless crossbows firing.
The key is that the powerful crossbow requires several people to wind the string with a winch, and the speed is relatively slow. The big mole that Xiaobai transformed into can draw the bow with both hands, and soon all the gravel on the ground has been thrown away.
Wang: "Pick up a big brick and throw it!"
Xiaobai picked up a whole long brick and threw it at the cave dwellers. The long brick bounced on the ground, then turned sideways and knocked down a group of cave dwellers.
The second dwarf brick came out and smashed several cavemen's heads before it bounced up and landed on the long brick.
Wang had a new idea: "Throw all the bricks together to block the tunnel! This way we won't be attacked from both sides!"
Xiaobai grunted as he picked up the dwarf tiles on the ground and threw them away, tearing the ground apart in an instant.
But it was obvious that her throwing power was decreasing, and she was obviously tired.
Nini turned around and asked Wang, "Where is your Bull Power spell?"
Wang: "Ah? The second ring spell slots are tight, I didn't bring any."
Nini was silenced by him.
Dwarf: "I have! Bull strength!"
A green bull head pattern appears around the mole that Xiao Bai has transformed into, covering her/it. If you change the angle, you will find that no matter how you change the angle, the bull head pattern is the same!
Xiaobai happened to throw a new brick at this time. The brute force suddenly attached to her doubled the speed of the brick, and its trajectory completely deviated, flying straight to the "beam" above the passage.
Yes, that is the exposed bottom of the dwarven stone door that was stuck in the chute that we saw before.
The violent impact caused the stone door to slide down a distance, but it was stuck by a piece of rubble.
Seeing this, the elf immediately drew his bow, and the arrow hit the stone at a perfect angle, causing a crack to appear on the stone! Then the huge weight of the stone door directly cut the stone in half along the crack.
The stone gate fell down with a loud bang, killing a large number of cave dwellers who were unable to dodge.
The dwarf roared, "Bless you, Torag!"
This was the first time the king heard the name of the Dwarf Protector from the Dwarfs.
The dwarf priest rushed forward and slashed the head of the caveman who was unfortunately blocked at the door.
The king turned around and looked at the enemy across the fire.
These enemies had just been watching Wang's team quietly resist the cavemen's attack.
Of course, the monster corpses ignited by the fireball spell did block their way. Now, the flames burning the monster corpses gradually became smaller.
