"Undead?!"
The dwarves lying on the ground were shocked when they saw Lothar flying over their heads on a skeletal war horse. In their eyes, most of the undead were monsters without minds and highly hostile to all living people - at least they This is the case for all the undead encountered in various ruins over the years.
It's strange to say that in the past, only a few ruins would have undead creatures. However, recently, there have been more and more reports of undead sightings reported by explorer associations from various places, and the members of the association did not take them seriously.
However, most of the places where the undead exist are cold and damp. The discovery of the undead in the depths of the Tanaris Desert has had a severe impact on the outlook of the members of the Explorers Association. And the undead in front of them has not taken the initiative to attack them?
Just when the dwarves' brains couldn't turn around, several violent crashes sounded from behind. The female dwarf who had just reminded Lothar got up. She patted the sand on her body, turned her head and looked around, and then she saw something she would never forget. scene.
Several ancient structural golems weighing more than ten or even dozens of tons were overturned or pierced by rock spikes rising from the ground. Those hard rocks engraved with runes were completely unable to withstand the fierce attacks. Many of them themselves The stone statue with some defects was broken into stone residues on the spot, and the energy core within it quickly dimmed.
Lothar, who was riding a war horse, charged away at an extraordinary speed. He swept his right hand on his back, and held the great sword Apocalypse, which was covered by a strip of cloth, in his hand. This evil sword was touched by Lothar. , immediately lit up with a green light as thick as moss.
With just one stagger, the structure's aging body couldn't keep up with Lothar's charge on horseback. Apocalypse swept several sword lights in the pile of structures. The structure swept by the magic sword fell to the ground with a bang, and the body was broken. It's not as smooth as when the blade swept across it. Instead, it looks like it's been corroded by acid and is jagged.
After knocking down several golems in the first wave, Anub'arak also revealed his true body from the sand. His huge body reflected a metallic color under the scorching sun. His appearance made the expedition team even more excited. The fleeing dwarves were stunned.
"Spider... spider demon?" An old dwarf with a gray beard recognized Anub'arak's race, but he didn't understand why this native Northrend creature appeared in the southernmost tip of the continent.
Moreover, based on the decorations and carapace patterns on Anub'arak's body, he quickly recognized that this huge mountain-like spider demon was a general or even a king among the spider demons.
Anub'arak and Lothar easily defeated the team of constructs that were chasing several dwarves. Lothar put away Apocalypse and was about to leave, but was stopped by the female dwarf behind him.
"Please wait!"
The dwarf who was traveling with him looked at the female dwarf with horrified eyes. The old dwarf immediately grabbed the female dwarf and scolded her in a low voice, "Ava, you are crazy. Those two guys are obviously not normal. Before they noticed us, we still Escape first!"
"Uncle Thunderwine, Brian is still trapped in the ruins ahead. When we run to Gadgetzan or Steamwheedle Port for help, we may only find their bodies!"
The words of the female dwarf named Ava made the dwarves swallow their persuasion. Brian and the others stayed behind and asked them to run out for help. But the problem was that everyone knew very well that deep in the desert, There was no place to go, and by the time they called for rescue, Brian's and the others' bodies were already cold.
The helpers that can be found at the moment are these two mysterious... creatures in front of her. Ava has already made plans anyway, "Uncle Leijiu, you keep running, I will go and negotiate with the two of them. If it doesn't work, the worst is death. Anyway, you can still Find other people to come to the rescue, and don’t forget to avenge me when the time comes!”
After saying that, Ava didn't wait for the other dwarves to say anything, and left the team at a trot, heading straight for Lothar and Anub'arak.
Leijiu looked at Ava's back and knew that Ava was right. He gritted his teeth and led the remaining dwarves to turn around and leave. Every second they delayed, the probability of Brian and Ava's death increased.
Seeing Ava walking towards him, Lothar glanced at Anub'arak on the side and was about to ask what to do, but Anub'arak just glanced at him lightly and then got into the ground.
Now Lothar was the only one left, and he could only secretly curse, "Why didn't you dare to leave Alsace alone to isolate himself when you were with Alsace?"
Lothar was just about to say a few words, or use some magic to send away or scare away the female dwarf explorer in front of her, but she heard her shouting in a loud voice, "No matter who you are, thank you for saving me." I and my companions, I want to issue a commission to you, please save our other companions, the leader of them is the third son of the Bronzebeard family in Ironforge, he is very rich, he can give you a reward!"
"Uh-" These words gave up Lothar's idea of driving Ava away. Isn't that the third eldest son of the Bronzebeard family, Brian? How come you can find this bad product everywhere?
After lamenting how Brian had survived to this day safely, Lothar waved his hand to summon another skeletal war horse, and then walked in the direction of Brian without saying a word. He did not ask where Brian was, because In this desolate desert, the souls of Brian and the others are as dazzling as fireflies in the dark night.
Looking at Lothar's departing back and the undead war horse that seemed to be full of contempt and disdain around her, Ava swallowed her saliva, and in her heart, she pulled the bones of the war horse and turned over to ride on it. She imagined the scene of being thrown away by the war horse. It did not appear. Although it was not interested in the living, it still did not dare to do anything to Ava due to Lothar's suppression.
…
"Boss Brian, we can't hold it anymore!" A member of the dwarf expedition team held his wrinkled expedition hat and sat down next to Brian in disgrace. He said with an ashen face, "We Our supplies are all in the camp outside. Without water and food, we simply can’t survive here for a few days. I’m afraid we’ll have to chew on rocks in two days.”
The female dwarf who was also sitting next to her sneered at her companion, "Haha, relax, we won't be able to survive without water or food. Those brainless structures outside have no intention of letting us go. They are frantically cleaning up just now. The tunnels that collapsed due to explosives and the rubble blocking the tunnels can only hold up for a few hours at most.”
"At least I can hold on for a few more hours, which is better than being killed now, Gloria." Brian sat leaning against the wall. The famous adventurer was now in a state of embarrassment, and his carefully groomed beard was covered with dust. and gravel, and even a section of his long beard on the side of his face was singed, but this did not diminish Brian's confidence in survival.
He has encountered more difficult and dangerous situations than this, but he is still alive today. He believes that he will not die today.
Brian looked at the collapsed side of the tunnel and recalled the situation just now, "While we were exploring in the tunnel, all those structures suddenly came to life. A small part of them chased Lei Jiu and the others, but most of them were Coming towards us...why is this..."
"I don't know, maybe we are unlucky?" Gloria took a sip of water and moistened her throat. Their current supplies can last for two or three days at most, but the good news is that the construct will rush in before then. Cut them into pieces, so there is a high probability that they will not die of hunger or thirst. It is better to be killed instantly than to be tortured by hunger and thirst.
"This may be one reason... But after we blew up the passage, those structures did not retreat or chase others. Instead, they rushed towards us more crazily... Is there a possibility, I mean possibility, Is there really something terrible hidden in this secret room, and the responsibility of those structures to guard the secret room is far more important than chasing down those who escape?" Brian came to a more reasonable result based on his many years of experience.
"That is to say, if we go to the deepest point, if we can find some ancient artifact, if it can help us, we still have the possibility of survival-" a dwarf said.
"It may be that he was turned into a dead dwarf by a more dangerous trap - no matter what, boss, I will listen to you anyway." Gloria looked at Brian, waiting for him to give orders.
Brian thought for a moment and finally made a decision, "Let's continue inward. Staying here will only lead to death. If we explore deeper, there may be a glimmer of hope."
