Chapter 33 All the way down
The Exploration Team was surrounded by a two-tailed earth scorpion.
Arnold stood up after Gangdou and Qiong broke out one after another. Zhan Ling Ayi appeared on the battlefield, waving his sickle to block the gap on the other side.
The poisonous attack of the earth scorpion is completely ineffective against Ayi, and the physical attack is also limited in its weakening, so Ayi does not need protection at all and kills with his sickle.
Arnold and Joan joined the defensive circle that stabilized the dwarves, while Arthur took the opportunity to throw a healing ball of light to each of the two dwarves shot by the scorpion tail needles, and temporarily saved their lives.
Although it was hit by a hammer and the two-tailed scorpions were harvested continuously, Arthur found that these monsters seemed to be dying and the attacks continued.
Arthur immediately shouted to Gangdou, "Captain, these monsters seem to have been eroded by the dark elements, and they don't seem to stop until they kill them."
The dwarf Gangdou also noticed the weirdness of these monsters. He suddenly shouted loudly during his attack, and the sledgehammer filled with fighting spirit hit his feet three times in a row.
The warrior's full-strength attack output was equivalent to the warrior's full-strength attack output. The whole earth was trembling, and both Joan and Arnold were unstable and almost fell down. After three hammers, a huge crack that was dozens of meters long and three or four meters wide was cracked under the dwarf's feet. Several double-tailed ground scorpions fell directly into the ground crack, and the ground scorpions on the other side of the ground crack could not climb for a while.
"Roar out and clean these guys!" Using the blockade caused by steel beans, Arthur and the dwarf warriors took the opportunity to fight back and quickly cleared the two-tailed ground scorpion on this side of the ground crack.
Even though the dwarf warriors held their shields and were more careful during the cleaning process, two more dwarfs were still injured by the scorpion tail needle.
The ground scorpions here have not been cleaned up yet, and the monsters on the front rush over the cracks. The exploration team had to slowly retreat from the dwarf Gangdou and the war spirit Ayi.
The two-tailed ground scorpion was still chasing behind him. The Exploration Team retreated and fought. Arthur and Joon rushed up from time to time to replace the Gangdou. The Exploration Team retreated all the way and turned into an arduous tug-of-war, and also left behind the corpse of the two-tailed ground scorpion.
When the exploration team retreated to the edge of the underground jungle, all the two-tailed earth scorpions that were pursuing were wiped out. Everyone, including Gangdou, was exhausted, and six dwarf warriors in the team suffered varying degrees of injuries.
While the dwarves were resting while they were curing their injuries, Arthur and Arnold dragged the bodies of two double-tailed scorpions to study.
Arnold said worriedly: "These two-tailed earth scorpions are eroded by dark elements more severely than those of fire monkeys, so they have lower IQ and will only attack blindly based on instinct."
"This shows that our direction is right. As long as we continue to chase this path, we will definitely find the source."
"Just don't know what will turn out to be?"
"I know, it will eventually become the monsters we encountered in the Sighing Canyon." Joan suddenly interrupted.
"Sigh Canyon? What monster?" Arnold did not experience that experience with Arthur.
"I'll say it." Arthur took the initiative to answer the words and told Arnold about his experience in Sighing Canyon, including Alia's current situation.
"If a living creature is attacked by a large number of dark elements, it will turn into a walking dead creature, what about the dead creature?" Arnold suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.
Almost at the same time, Arthur thought, "We must find the source as soon as possible to prevent the situation from worsening."
After everyone had a short rest, the Exploration Team set off again, but this time the team was only half of the number.
Gangdou left the six injured dwarf soldiers in place and told them that if the Exploration Team did not return for three days, they would return to Earth Fire Fort, and tell the Dwarf King what they encountered along the way and Arthur and their speculations.
The journey of the exploration team returning again was still difficult, with sporadic double-tailed earth scorpions and other monsters leaping out from time to time along the way. Fortunately, the powerful dwarf warrior of Gangdou was here in the team, and they rushed over.
The steep slopes along the way have begun to gradually become smooth, and the terrain under your feet has turned into undulating mountain bags, and many small hill bags are covered with stone carvings in the shape of hammers or axes.
"These are the tombs of the heroic spirits of the ancestors. According to the customs of the dwarves and out of respect for powerful dwarves, they will make stone carvings and stand on the tombs." Gangdou took the initiative to introduce the customs of the dwarves to Arthur and others.
As they got closer, Gangdou suddenly stopped and his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably...
......
Orc Temple.
The young orc disciples in the temple have been a little uneasy recently, and they can't even calm down their daily asceticism.
All of them are because of a female orc, a female orc spiritual feather known as the first beauty of an orc.
Since the last time he was captured, Lingyu has been in banished and has been in a state of disgrace.
The high priest felt sorry for his granddaughter, so he sent someone to take Lingyu to him to teach his martial arts.
The high priest originally wanted to be isolated from the outside world in the temple. Various rumors from the outside would no longer affect Lingyu's mood, but ignored the influence of Lingyu on these young orcs. These disciples always looked for various reasons to run to the high priest. Every time they guided Lingyu's martial arts, many orc disciples always watched, and even if the high priest drove him away several times, they would not have any effect.
The high priest knew that he could no longer keep his granddaughter by his side for a long time, and on this day he called six disciples, including Leon, in the inner temple, to his death for the past two years.
"You six are already level 6 warriors. The key to breaking through to the battle school is not only the accumulation of fighting spirit, but also the body is the basis and the qi and blood are the guarantee of your breakthrough in one fell swoop. Now there is a task left to you six of you to do."
The six people saluted together, "Please give me a message."
"Five hundred miles northwest from Temple Mount, there is a dangerous place called Wangchuan Canyon. A blood gourd vine grows in the cave at the end of the canyon. The blood gourd vine bears every 100 years, and the blood gourd is a great replenishment for qi and blood."
"Does the High Priest want us to pick the blood gourd?" asked the tiger orc on the far left.
The high priest nodded slowly, "That's right. This time, you were asked to go to Wangchuan Canyon to get a blood gourd to come back to think that you will be ready for the next breakthrough of the war school. In addition, it is also a trial for you. A precious thing like the Blood Gour Vine will naturally have a powerful guardian of monsters. I ask you to get the things back without killing the guardian monsters."
"I will definitely not let the high priest down." The six people replied in unison again.
Lingyu walked in from outside the door at this time and stood behind the high priest without saying a word.
The high priest spoke again, "Lingyu will go with you this time, and you will be responsible for helping me take care of her."
Seeing that Lingyu was going to walk with her, the six people were happy except Leon and a female orc.
Ling Yu frowned slightly and said stubbornly: "I don't need anyone to take care of you."
