Arthur noticed that all the dwarves' faces had changed and couldn't help asking, "Is the resting place very dangerous?"

Gangdou whispered: "Danger is only one aspect. The resting place is also the burial place for the dwarf ancestors after their death. In order not to disturb the ancestors' heroes, our hunting range generally does not cross the underground jungle."

"What should I do next?"

"The purpose of our mission this time is to find the reasons for the fire monkey's abnormal movements, so we naturally have to continue looking for it, but we have to be more careful later. The chances of encountering underground monsters in the resting place are greater."

The exploration team continued to go deep into the jungle, and on the way, Gangdou introduced Arthur and his men the origin of the resting place.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the underground world was as uneasy as on the ground, and every place suitable for survival was occupied by powerful ancient monsters.

After the founding of the Earth Fire Fort, the dwarves were surrounded by monsters, and the west side leading to a deeper underground world was also the biggest source of danger. Countless dwarves fought back to the underground jungle to establish defense lines, and they would rather die than let monsters cross the jungle. Many dwarves were buried on the battlefield after they died. These warriors had to protect the dwarves kingdom even after they died. Later, all the dwarves followed suit, and this place became a resting place for their ancestors.

With the story of Gangdou, the exploration team officially entered the resting place. The terrain here is far more dangerous than the underground jungle, and is covered with rocky gullies with extremely downward slopes. Some of the gullies are several meters wide, while others are bottomless underground cracks.

The dwarves used this place as a defense line to block underground monsters back then, and indeed had a great advantage in geographical advantages.

All the dwarves were alert and the exploration team began to become cautious in their pace.

And the danger comes much earlier than expected.

Without any warning, a long black shadow suddenly emerged from a crack in a gully, arching the mountain-drilling magic lizard at the end of the team.

The highly alert dwarf on the back of the magic lizard jumped out directly, and the black shadow rushed over and entangled the mountain magic lizard that had not yet turned over. After being entangled by the black shadow, the mountain magic lizard was unable to resist and was dragged into the crack.

Arthur and others turned around when they heard the movement and saw the strange appearance of the monster. The monster's body was flat and seven or eight meters long. Its upper half had more than ten legs like a centipede, and the lower half had become a thin tail. At this time, the tail was used to wrap the mountain demon lizard around.

The dwarf warriors behind the team reacted first, and pulled out the hand axes behind them and threw them out at the monster.

The axe hit the upper body of the monster but failed to cause any damage to it.

The dwarf warrior who was swept away from his mount took this opportunity to pounce on it, and a big axe shining with cold light in his hand swung it towards the connection between the upper and lower half of the monster.

"Come back, don't get close to it!" Gangdou rushed over from the front of the team.

The monster's upper body was already standing up, and it spurted a stream of liquid at the dwarf who was slashing down by the axe. The dwarf warrior immediately screamed and rolled on the ground in pain.

A pumpkin-sized hammer in Gangdou's hand wrapped in white light and threw it over. The white light hit the head of the monster, bursting the entire monster's head.

When Arthur and the other two surrounded him, the dwarf who had just rolled on the ground had no breath.

Death came too suddenly, and Gangdou kept shook his head and sighed, "Just bury him here, be careful not to touch his body directly with his hands."

Toren whispered to Arthur, "I know this kind of monster is called needle-tail poison centipede. Although it is only a level 4 monster, it is covered with poison. The mountain magic lizard was stabbed by its needle-tail and could not move. The brother was sprayed directly by its venom just now and there was no time to save him."

Arthur's palm faintly sweated. The underground world was indeed full of danger. If he was sprayed by venom just now, he might not have been able to escape the gates of hell.

After burying the dwarf warrior on the spot, the exploration team continued to move forward, and this time everyone became more careful.

It turns out that the Exploration Team's dangerous journey has just begun.

After the exploration team advanced for a while, they stopped on a slightly gentle stone platform to rest.

Before everyone could take out the food and water, they heard a slight rustling sound coming from all around.

Qiong shot a fireball out from afar, and used the fire light to illuminate the millstone-sized monsters, making all the dwarves who saw these monsters clearly felt chill.

These monsters are gray-brown all over, but have two reddish-brown tail hooks, and the third-level monster two-tailed earth scorpion. These monsters not only live in groups, but also have highly poisonous and natal magic "hard armor". They are monsters that cannot be provoked or killed.

Gangdou immediately yelled, "Defense, defense, no one is allowed to rush out!"

All the dwarf warriors connected the head and tail of the mountain demon lizard to the outer circle, forming a line of defense, and then took out the shield and supported it on the demon lizard, hiding his entire body behind the shield.

As soon as the defense was raised, the sound of hail falling from the shield sounded like a pounding sound. They were poisonous scorpion tail needles shot out by the two-tailed scorpion scorpion.

Gangdou jumped out of the defense circle, rushed into the group of ground scorpions and swung the sledgehammer, hitting the ground scorpions one hammer after another, almost smashing the double-tailed ground scorpions' armor directly.

Countless scorpion tail needles around him shot at the steel beans, but the dwarf is worthy of the nickname of steel beans. His whole body is like steel casting. The sharp tail needle cannot penetrate the skin of steel beans. He only has one hand to protect the vital points of his eyes, and the hammer in his other hand quickly hits the surrounding ground scorpions.

Only the dwarf Gangdou, which is equivalent to the strength of a human warrior, has the ability to fight against the group of scorpions alone. Other dwarves dare not show their roots from behind the shield. They will lose half of their lives as long as they are hit.

No matter how powerful the Gangdou is, there is only one person. He only blocked the two-tailed ground scorpion on the front. The ground scorpion that rushed up from the left and right sides approached the dwarf's defense circle, and used its thick grinding-like body to hit the dwarf's shield one after another. As long as a gap was opened, the poisonous scorpion tail would penetrate it.

Two dwarf warriors were stabbed by the scorpion tail needle and screamed in pain, and two gaps appeared in the defensive formation.

Qiong suddenly stood up, and the golden shield formation in his hand activated. The rapidly rotating golden shield blocked the scorpion tail needle that was shooting at him. Qiong began to quickly build a magic array, slapped the ground with one hand, and a large piece of flame ignited from the ground, burning towards the most fragile abdomen of the scorpion.

After the fifth-level magic "Earth Fire Rises", Qiong kept casting spells, and fire-type magic elements quickly gathered in the air, turning into balls of thumb-sized flames falling from the air.

The flames attacked up and down, and although they were not fatal, they burned these two-tailed scorpions and ran around, and could no longer attack the dwarf's defense circle with all their strength.
