The next day, the three Teds, together with Muradin, Jinli, Clara, and Mr. Swaro, formed a team to re-examine the place where they encountered the hippogryph yesterday.
As for Clara's uncle Milhao, he was assigned to work in the Iron Hammer Castle - if his illusion hadn't angered the hippogryph yesterday, there wouldn't have been a fierce fight. In the end, he was not injured.
I can't wait for life or death today!
As for the other dwarf brother, he was actually seriously injured.
The hippogryph's lightning beam from yesterday had him almost three meters away.
Only later did other people find out that the hair on my brother's chest was scorched, and the skin on his chest was covered with radiating electric shock scars.
After being treated by the dwarf doctor at Hammer Castle, it took him a week to recover.
Ted also gave away whitening essence and healing plaster.
That's it. Yesterday, that guy just went to the doctor after drinking at a party... What a man who is hardened by alcohol!
But I definitely can’t join the team today. He had to stay and recuperate.
…
Arriving at the place where the battle took place yesterday, everyone began to investigate.
Ted asked Ansu to take off to see if there was anything strange.
The dwarves also took out strange instruments and dug holes in the ground to detect abnormalities.
Clara put out a strange magic device, which was a bit like a radar screen, and started beeping around.
Needless to say, Ansu finally gained something by grabbing this instrument the size of a human head and flying into the sky to increase the detection area.
Clara fiddled with the green checkered display screen and said: "A little more than one kilometer northwest, there is a place where the temperature is wrong!"
"The temperature is wrong?!" Jerry was confused.
"That's right, no other abnormalities were found. I just found that place was a few degrees higher than other places." Clara explained.
"Should we go take a look?" Jin Li looked at Swaro.
Swaro stroked his beard and said, "We have been searching all morning, and there is just something wrong around here. Go and have a look. If there is nothing strange, then this area has been excluded."
But don’t tell me, there is something really strange!
It was a deep pit, a cave created by the collapse of a hollow in the mountainside caused by long-term crustal movement or groundwater erosion, which is also commonly known as a sinkhole.
Ansu flew down for a while, and after about a hundred meters, he discovered several bright fire elementals at the bottom of the dim sinkhole below!
This thing is similar to the stone element, which is an elemental life form made of stone.
The fire element's whole body is covered with flames, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, bright at the top and dark at the bottom. The lower body is like an inverted cone-shaped dark red gas, floating about half a meter high.
The entire fire element looks about 1.5 to 1.7 meters tall, some are bigger and some are smaller. Levels range from level 6 to level 9, with higher levels being larger.
Ansu also discovered a huge abandoned nest on a platform halfway up the mountainside of the deep pit. It is made up of many branches, weeds and feathers, with a diameter of three meters!
You can also see the bones of some small creatures and a lot of feces.
Apparently, this turned out to be the lair of the hippogryph.
It was supposed to be well hidden on the hillside of the sinkhole. But for some unknown reason, it got into a fight with the neighbor downstairs. As a result, it was outnumbered and burned, and then ran away.
As a result, they met Clara and the others, who were very angry, and the inappropriate vision of Clara's uncle Milhao not only failed to scare away the hippogryph, but in fact angered it. Just give him a beating!
Ted told everyone about the following situation.
Something is definitely wrong here.
Mr. Schwaro concluded that this was an anomaly. What is certain is that there were no fire elements here just last month!
After all, this place is less than a day's journey from Hammer Castle. The dwarves and gnomes have lived here for seven or eight years, so they naturally have a deep understanding of the surrounding environment.
Like this hippogryph, although they are not sure of its nest, the dwarves do know that there is a flying monster that has been appearing in the east in recent months, but no one wants to mess with it.
This thing requires a team of elites to wear equipment, bring various targeted items, and design a plan before they can win it steadily. No need to bother with this.
And the dwarves would know better if there is such a thing as a fire element nearby.
Elemental creatures are not like magical animals. They are generally invisible.
And they won't migrate from other places.
This thing will only be born in the right place.
For example, the stone element that Ted and the others encountered before was a place where magic power had been concentrated in that mountain stream for a long time. It took many years for the stone element to be born.
After it appears, it will linger nearby and slowly "grow". Wouldn't go anywhere else.
This thing's IQ is also very low, at least it doesn't show any ability to communicate. Like a robot that only attacks intruders.
If it was the fire element that suddenly appeared recently, then it would make sense for the Hippogryph to fight them.
There's a fire downstairs, why don't you worry?
Ted suddenly remembered his visit to Ironhammer Castle yesterday.
He asked: "I remember Muradin you said that the furnace has become more and more efficient in the past year. It is impossible to work without wearing insulating clothing?"
"That's right! It's not that I don't want to take you to visit, it's just that it's really too hot there! Even a dwarf like me can't stand it. Within a few minutes, it feels like I've taken a bath!" Muradin explained, barely pointing. My beard swore.
"Of course I believe you. But... Ordinarily, we shouldn't! We are on the border of the Scottish Highlands, not Iceland. How is it possible that geothermal resources are so rich? And they only suddenly appeared in the past year?!"
The dwarven furnace of Hammer Castle penetrates more than a hundred meters downwards, using special rune magic to draw lava from the ground to provide massive amounts of heat. And it’s still “living water”!
With this skill alone, dwarves gain the respect of wizards.
This is a mastery of core skills. If we were in a Muggle society, this would be the cheapest pseudo-clean energy!
If we build an underground power station and continuously use underground lava, we might as well attract American troops!
"Go down! Go down and take a look!"
How to get down is a problem, despite the fact that the dwarves live underground, but rappelling is no joke.
Ted used a rope to string everyone together, and then cast the Feather Fall spell one by one, and then used the Transformation spell to create platforms on the edge of the cliff, allowing Ansu to grab the rope and float down layer by layer.
He wanted to float down directly, but the dwarves were actually afraid of heights!
According to their words: I'll die happily. Falling down so slowly will really kill me. I dare not open my eyes.
It took five or six minutes for them to land safely.
The three dwarves in the team were all sweating profusely.
Dwarf: It feels so good to be down to earth!
This is a bottle-shaped space that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The bottom is much larger than the entrance with a diameter of thirty to forty meters above.
Looking up, I saw a patch of light about the size of a human head. It was so dim that I couldn't see very far.
However, the bottom of this sinkhole is not humid at all, it is even very hot!
This cave must have been very humid before, and there were even water channels on the ground that were washed out by water flowing through the rocks all year round.
But now let alone a drop of water, even the moss on the stone has dried!
Not far away, there was a natural cave. At the entrance of the cave, there were several red, orange, and golden fire elements wandering unconsciously.
Small fire element, level 6, elemental creature...
Ember Guardian, level 7, elemental creature...
Flame Walker, level 8, elemental creature...
Fire Soul, level 9, elemental creature...
Six in total!
Swaro stared at this group of fire elements that were particularly conspicuous in the dim environment and said: "I'm afraid we have to enter that cave to take a look and prepare for battle!"
Ted quickly dissuaded them: "I have a way to cause them enough damage, otherwise with the lethality of these fireballs, we might have wounded people."
The fire element is different from the stone element. If nothing else, the stone element is a moving stone man. If you can avoid being touched by it, you won't be hurt.
But the fire element is flame!
If you get too close to this thing, you'll get burned. Who knows if it will explode. Whenever they come into contact, it will cause serious burns over a large area. Compared with stone elements, they are much more dangerous.
Therefore, Ted planned to solve them as simply as possible.
