"Give it a try!" Bloxen loaded his double-barreled rifle with high-explosive shells and fired at the sand, but nothing appeared except two sand pits.
"I'll do it!"
Seeing that Broxson's test had no effect, Snorri stood up on his seat. He struck his rune of wrath and destruction, and a burst of flames and smoke exploded under the sand.
A huge scorpion-shaped thing with a huge stinger on its tail and a pair of pincers as big as a war horse burst out of the ground and rushed towards Snorri under the rising sand rain.
The dwarf prince, who was well prepared, once again threw the war hammer in his hand. The huge structure that was hit froze slightly in mid-air, and a large number of projectiles were shot at it.
It was cobbled together from a mass of stone, metal, painted wood and bones tied together. Compared with the bone giants and battle sphinxes carved from stone, they are relatively fragile.
These tomb scorpions are said to be born to protect the realm of souls from the plunder of dark forces, and Nehekhara myths record that they guard the entrance to the underworld here.
The long-range firepower of the dwarves blocked it, but this construct that was not immune to death and pain still rushed towards the dwarves quickly with its eight segmented legs, its tail hook swaying, ready to move.
Snorri struck his Rune of Slowness again, and the effectiveness of the Anvil of Doom shortened his rune's recharging time and usage interval. But Snorri was surprised to find that the effect of the runes was not obvious on the giant scorpion. The spells on it seemed to provide some magic resistance.
In fact, the Tomb Scorpion is the living tomb of the Lich Priests of the Funeral Cult. The soul of the caster provides vitality to the construct and also provides some magic resistance, which can weaken or even directly invalidate magic.
Looking at the huge pliers, no matter how brave the dwarves were, they felt intimidated. No one wanted to test whether their armor was strong enough. In a hurry, a dwarf emerged from the crowd and rushed towards the giant scorpion. The tribesmen all thought that this desperate guy was a butcher.
Before he could cheer or lament for the warrior, the dwarf suddenly fell to the ground. The soldiers around him only thought that he was filled with enthusiasm. After rushing out, they were frightened and muttered, forming a shield formation and preparing to carry it.
Suddenly, the spell on the giant scorpion flashed, and then "poof!" it went out. Snorri seized the opportunity and struck with thunder. The giant scorpion's charging speed slowed down sharply and failed to break up the dwarves' shield array.
What awaited it next were hammers and long-range weapons coming from all directions. It used its aggressive tail needle to be chopped off by Rogoff with an axe, and then was blown to the ground by several rockets.
The dwarves cheered, and the warrior who rushed out also came back. Snorri looked down and found that it was Andermg who presented the picture before.
"Well done, young man! How did you do it?" Snorri praised.
"It is recorded in my ancestor's notes that there is a mummy in the abdomen of this scorpion-shaped construct. If it can be destroyed, its power will be greatly weakened!" Andermg gave a demonstration. After lying down, he lifted He picked up the battle ax and accurately cut open the giant scorpion's belly.
Snorri made a note in the young ranger's merit book. The tomb giant scorpion was actually inlaid with a lot of gold and silver jewels, and the dwarves naturally picked them all out. Then he turned it over, poured out the bottle containing the Lich Priest's vital organs, and took away the other burial objects.
Afterwards, the team continued to move forward, and before nightfall they finally entered the Southern World Edge Mountains. After setting up sentries and resting for the night, the dwarves continued their march. After traveling for another five days, the reconnaissance helicopter brought back new information.
"Twenty kilometers ahead we will reach Spider Web Mountain. That place is truly well-deserved!" Altman Yanmei climbed out of the cockpit. He looked a little worried. It was obvious that this was not for his own mission. This is the next journey of the army.
"Speak slowly!" Balin handed over a glass of beer. At this point, the team's supplies became a little tight. Dry food and meat are not bad. Stone bread, the staple food of dwarves when marching, is easy to carry and store, and it is also very good when hungry;
Meat is supplemented by Amazon female warriors hunting in the jungle along the way. Rather than being mercenaries and killing people, this is their main occupation. Being good at jungle combat was one of the reasons why Snorri hired them.
Only beer has become the material that needs strictest control. Bahrain is now Snorri's chief civilian officer. He and his men are responsible for managing military supplies, merit books, drawing and compiling maps, and so on. And every time Bahrain counts the remaining supplies, it will be found that the beer is inexplicably less. There is no place to replenish this stuff.
"Gudu!" Altman took a sip, "Mogrim on top! That fortress, with Granny's beard, you can't even imagine that it is a fortress from the sky!"
Snorri, who had read the previous adventure notes, knew what he meant. Spider Web Mountain was not originally called this name. It was given by later adventurers after they saw the new appearance.
After the dwarves abandoned the fortress complex in the Southern World's Edge Mountains, an Arachnari queen spider known as, or perhaps calling itself Ungrian, took over the original Spider Web Mountain fortress. There it spins its web and gives birth to its offspring, and its offspring continue the process there.
Thousands of years later, when the original dwarf adventurers who tried to find their homeland returned there, they were shocked by what they saw: the entire exposed part of the fortress and the surrounding mountains were covered with dense white spider webs.
From then on, the fortress got the name Spider Web Mountain, but as time went by, the original Queen Spider seemed to have undergone strange changes. It is immortal, and every time it is sighted, it seems to be getting bigger, and its descendants are also increasing.
Thousands of years later, the Queen Spider reached some agreements with the surrounding wild orcs because of its powerful strength. Wild orcs and forest goblins worship it as a minor god, and it allows greenskins to drive their offspring into battle.
As the Greenskin Warband fights everywhere, its descendants gradually spread to various parts of the world. The black pit in the deep forest of Drakenwald in the Human Empire is now the territory of its descendants, and they are causing harm to the forest goblins there. inhabitants of the empire.
The more Snorri thought about the information about Angorian, the more familiar it became. He thought of the monster hunting of Ulfric the Worldwalker or Wanderer, the legendary lord of Norsca and the common champion of the four gods of Chaos.
Among them, the reproductive queen of Karak-Iron Peak Castle is probably the queen spider now entrenched in Spider Web Mountain. The journey from Tiefengbao to here is not far, just pass Hongyun Mountain and then go all the way north. It is fully capable of wandering there.
