Wang frowned: "Huh?"
He immediately changed his mind and said to Xiaobai, who had already dug one meter into the ground: "Stop digging! Throw stones at them!"
The giant mole was stunned for a moment, and the beard on its mouth trembled. Then it grabbed the newly broken gravel on the ground and threw it towards the caveman who was chasing behind.
This time it was devastating, and gravel spurted out in a fan shape, knocking down a large number of cavemen.
Especially those thin and malnourished cavemen, one piece of gravel can knock down several of them, and a handful of gravel sprinkled over is like countless ballistae firing.
The key and powerful ballista requires several people to use a winch to wind it up, and the speed is relatively slow. The big mole transformed by Xiaobai can shoot the bow with both hands, and in a short time all the gravel on the ground is thrown away.
Wang: "Pick up big bricks and throw them away!"
Xiaobai picked up a whole long brick and threw it at the caveman. The long brick bounced on the ground, then hit a group of cavemen and knocked them down.
The second dwarf square brick took action, smashing the heads of several cavemen before it bounced up and landed on the long brick just now.
Wang had a new idea: "Throw all the bricks together and block the tunnel! This way we don't have to be attacked from both sides!"
Xiaobai picked up the dwarf floor tiles on the ground and threw them, all of a sudden the ground was demolished.
But it was clear that her throwing power was decreasing, and she was obviously tired.
Nini turned to ask the king: "Where is your cow power spell?"
Wang: "Huh? The second-level spell slots are tight, so I didn't bring them."
Nini was silenced by him.
Dwarf: "I have it! The power of the bull!"
A green bull's head pattern appears around the little white-turned-big mole, covering her/it. If you change the angle, you will find that no matter how you change the angle, the cow head pattern is the same!
Xiaobai happened to throw a new square brick at this time, and the brute force suddenly added to her body directly doubled the speed of the square brick, and the trajectory completely went astray, flying straight to the "beam" above the channel.
Yes, it's the exposed bottom of the dwarf stone door that was stuck in the chute that we saw before.
The violent impact caused the stone door to slide down a certain distance, only to be stuck by another piece of gravel.
Upon seeing this, the elf immediately drew his bow, and the arrow hit the stone at an exquisite angle, causing a crack to appear on the stone! Immediately afterwards, the huge weight of the stone door cut the stone in two directly along the crack.
The stone door rumbled down, killing a lot of cavemen who couldn't escape.
The dwarf roared: "Torag protects!"
This was the first time the king heard the name of the dwarf protector from the dwarves.
The dwarf priest rushed forward and opened the mouth of the caveman who was unfortunately blocked by the door.
Wang turned around and looked at the enemy across the fire.
These enemies had just been quietly watching Wang's team resist the caveman's offensive.
Of course, the monster corpses ignited by the fireball spell did block their way. Now, the flames that burned the monster's body gradually became smaller.
Because there was a breeze blowing from the shaft just now, the thick smoke from the burning corpse did not drift this way. Now the stone gate is closed, and thick smoke accumulates at the top of the tunnel.
Wang: "The fire is almost out! Xiaobai! Pick up the bricks and throw them over there!"
Xiaobai ran to the newly piled brick and stone roadblock on his hands and knees and picked up a stone——
The sound of casting a spell came from the opposite side.
Wang: "It's the Wind Wall Technique! They have priests! Or maybe shamans!"
The boulder took action, passed straight through the wind wall, and hit the cavemen with bright armor. Of course, the leather armor could not block the power, and the internal organs of those who were hit were crushed. Suddenly there was a gap in the entire military formation.
Elizabeth shouted: "I can't see the divine spellcaster! Do you see it? King!"
Originally, Xiaobai was about to throw the second brick, but when he heard Elizabeth's "woof", he burst into laughter. The brick suddenly dropped and hit her on the foot.
The huge groundhog jumped on one leg holding its feet, which was really funny.
Nini was not affected by this episode at all and directly drew her bow.
Yu Jian Weng made a sound and passed through the wind wall, but the trajectory was disturbed and the straight line changed into a zigzag line. However, the missed arrow hit something accurately.
Wails came across the caveman formation.
The next moment, the voice of prayer came from behind the military formation. Apparently, the opponent's magical caster would continue to use divine magic to summon divine grace.
Wang: "Humanoid body-holding technique! Interrupt it!"
Nini's bow and arrow had already been shot, but this time there was only a "dang" sound, which sounded like it hit the shield. But just one feather arrow could make such a loud sound, as if a javelin was pierced on the shield. The king subconsciously looked at the biceps of the elf's big arm.
He just happened to see the elf draw his bow, and at first glance a huge "little mouse" was arched on his thin arm.
The bowstring made a "boring" sound, and the sharp sound of the arrows breaking through the air disappeared from sight. This time the prayers turned into screams.
The dwarf held up his shield and stood at the front of the team, shouting loudly: "The fire is going out! These cavemen are not like the rabble before!"
After speaking, the dwarf hung the hammer on his waist, touched the holy symbol and chanted Kailin's name loudly, and then the soft light of blessing fell on everyone in the team.
Then the dwarf recited a long prayer, and more holy light fell, but this time even the enemies were affected - but the light falling on them looked gray, gray light.
The dwarf is still praying, this time he is praying for the favor of luck - Kailin's authority also has luck, and his priest naturally also has spells in the field of luck.
While the dwarf was praying, Nini fired her bow continuously, taking advantage of the enemy's wind wall to shoot straight, constantly interrupting the prayers of the Lamashtu priest hiding behind the military formation.
Finally, the fire slowly became smaller, and a thick layer of smoke gathered over the entire passage.
The caveman warriors have never been blessed by divine magic. Instead, they have been coated with a soft gray light by the dwarves' divine magic.
But that didn't stop the caveman from blowing the horn.
Originally, Nini was setting up her bow, but when she heard the horn, she immediately changed her target. When the feather arrow was released, the horn suddenly broke.
However, the cavemen still roared and charged forward.
Their killing cries are all sharp and terrifying roars, as if they can shut up all the night-crying children in the world at the same time.
The dwarf roared too, and rushed forward with his shield, the barbarian following closely behind him.
Marika also changed her dagger to her left hand, drew out her dagger with her right hand, and followed Gotrek to kill him.
There was also the giant groundhog Xiaobai. These blocked the entire passage. In addition, the dwarf had just prayed to add a bunch of buffs to everyone. They just pushed along the passage.
Wang and Elizabeth stood behind, unable to take action at all. Mainly, Xiaobai blocks his sight. Both mages and warlocks need to see the target before they can cast spells.
Ninila drew her bow and fired continuously, but there was no way to observe the effect of the shot. The sound of the arrow being hit was muffled by the sounds of battle and screams.
There are also prayers, which are obviously from the enemy's side. In this case, even Nini can't interfere with the enemy's priest's prayers.
However, the prayers suddenly stopped again. Apparently, the melee group that had broken through the front line had reached the priest.
Wang: "That's good. We still have a lot of spells left to deal with unexpected situations later."
Elizabeth: "No matter what, you can no longer think about using your own death to change the situation!"
Wang: "I won't really die. And I promise you that I will come to you if I master the method of reversing time in the future. At that time, I must be a nine-ring legendary great magician. I am alone in any crisis of annihilation." Let me solve it for you."
"I don't want it! I want you now! You didn't understand what your teacher said at all! Even if you can come back, you are no longer the you we are familiar with! You can only leave! That would be so sad!"
Wang: "Then I will be able to understand what the teacher said. Now I really don't understand!"
"Charming humans!"
Wang: "I'm pretty sure you failed this time. Haha, let me just say that I am extremely resistant to magic control spells!"
Elizabeth stamped her feet in anger.
Nini: "We are still fighting, please be serious."
As he spoke, Xiaobai carried a half-dead potbellied caveman to the king and threw it to the ground.
The first thing the king saw was the holy symbol of Lamashtu on it.
"The priest of the Mother of Monsters?" Wang muttered, carefully examining the arrow wounds on the caveman's body. "The wound healed without even pulling out the arrow, and the arrow grew inside."
At this time, this half-dead guy suddenly came to life. A carp sat up straight and howled at the king!
The next moment, Nini held an arrow in her hand and used it as a dagger to stab the guy's eyeball, and the howl turned into a miserable neighing.
Nini pulled out the arrow with her hand, bringing out a lot of black blood.
The mage reached out and touched the caveman's bleeding eye socket.
Elizabeth was so frightened that she cried out: "Why do you touch everything with your hands!"
Wang: "I want to see this blood in action. I remember that caveman blood should not be this color."
After speaking, he rubbed the sticky blood on his hands and brought it to his nose to smell it.
Nini watched all this from the side and sighed: "It turns out that he touched my thigh before, and he really didn't mean it."
Wang: "Of course, I am studying the sweat of elves. Elves rarely sweat, so there is not much information in the Mage Tower. I know what this blood looks like."
Flint smashed the last caveman's head, turned around and asked, "What's it like?"
Wang: "Like the monster I dissected before."
Nini: "Dissection! What an evil act!"
Everyone looked at the elf together.
Nini also looked at the others in surprise: "Don't you...don't think anatomy is a kind of sacrilege?"
"He was just doing research," Elizabeth said.
Xiaobai turned back into a human and said: "I also often dissect prey to find the most delicious parts and save them for last."
"Eh?" Nini looked at everyone hesitantly, "Am I wrong?"
Wang: "This blood is undoubtedly the same as that of monsters. This may explain why this thing's wounds heal so quickly.
"Look at the fatal injury Nini just made. Although this guy is dead, there is still a white border growing around the wound. This is new skin tissue.
"That is to say, after the body dies, the regeneration function still operates for a short time. It's so amazing. When we enter the fetal movement hall later, all these mysteries will be revealed. Xiaobai, smell this guy's smell , take us to the Fetal Movement Hall!"
At this time, Flint said: "I don't want to spoil the scenery at this time, but... I have almost used up my magic. Next, I will be a high-level dwarf infantry."
Marika: "This is quite new. Can you still be a dwarf cavalry? Of course you are a dwarf infantry."
The dwarf blew his beard: "Evil thing! When the elf seeks revenge from you, I will definitely stand by her side!"
Nini: "Thank you."
Wang: "They are bickering, you don't have to get involved."
Marika: "We're done bickering, let's move on?"
King: "Did you find anything worth looting? Do I need to use a detect magic item?"
"No." The drow and forest elves answered together.
They looked at each other, and Zhuoer made a gesture of invitation.
The forest elf replied: "These people don't have the aura of magic in their bodies, so they probably don't have any magic items worth searching for."
Wang: "Then can you still feel the flow of air?"
Nini nodded: "Yes. It's very weak, but it's definitely flowing."
"Okay, let's go."
**
"Wait a minute!" Flint, the senior dwarf infantryman, suddenly gave a signal for the whole team to stop advancing, and then he strode up from the rear of the team and carefully observed the murals on the wall.
Wang: "I didn't know that dwarves would also use murals to record things. I thought this was something only the Catalan ancestors would do."
The dwarf infantry snorted: "Don't you understand? The text will be lost, but the murals will not. As long as you pay attention to the rules when painting, you can ensure that people in the next civilization cycle can understand it.
"Look at this part, it uses up, north, down, south, left, west, right and east to indicate the reading direction of the mural. As long as people in the next cycle know east, west, north, south, they can figure out how to read!"
Wang: "That's right. Then let me see what the story is. Wait a minute, is this thing a lich?"
He points to a skeleton frame in the mural.
"There are so many decorations on this skeleton shelf, as well as a bag of spellcasting materials. It looks like a lich who has armed himself to the teeth with magic equipment. Especially on his hands, the wearing of these rings is obviously very particular. In order to avoid magic rings interfere with each other."
Elizabeth exclaimed: "Are these magic rings? We have only harvested one counter-attack ring in total since our adventure."
Nini: "Why are there lichs in the dwarf murals? And it doesn't look like they are fighting lichs."
Xiaobai: "This place is also very strange. The lich is resurrecting people from coffins, but the dwarf that comes out is not a skeleton!"
King: "There is also the holy symbol of Lamashtu here, and then there is light in the hands of the lich here, shining on the holy symbol of Lamashtu?"
Suddenly the king clapped his hands: "No, this is the lich extracting power from Lamashtu."
The dwarf asked in confusion: "What are you doing with this power? And the rest is too strange. Why do dwarves keep coming out of the coffins?"
King: "I understand! This lich has extracted the power of Lamashtu and wants to mass-produce dwarves!"
Marika: "Why produce dwarves? What's going on with these well-dressed dwarves?"
Wang: "Because the dwarves and the lich cooperated. They helped the lich create a device, and the lich extracted power. They used this device to mass-produce dwarves and increase the dwarf population. Isn't this the same thing as what happened to the cavemen? The device from that time remained, and the caveman began mass production.”
Flint took out his pipe and said gloomily while filling the tobacco: "To be honest, as a dwarf, I don't think our think tank's guess is wrong. Dwarves, like elves, are deeply troubled by fertility. And our problem More serious than elves.
"Elves also sing about love. What we dwarves care about all day long is digging holes, mining, forging, and beer brewed from dwarf barley. We have thought of many ways to increase the fertility rate, but with little success. If it weren't for the dwarves If we lived long enough, we would have become extinct long ago.
"But once a war breaks out, the shortcomings of low fertility will inevitably be exposed. It is because of the war that the Mountain Kingdom has shrunk to what it is now."
Wang: "Don't rush to confirm my guess. Only when you have a closer look inside the Fetal Movement Hall can you know what the facts are. Now I'm just talking based on the pictures on the murals. Let's go! The Fetal Movement Hall should be in front of us."
