Ten hours ago.

Xiao Yu and the Dwarf Copper Hammer left the mountain stream where they were temporarily resting, and re-confirmed their direction towards the direction where the Dwarf mine was located. Along the way, he encountered several groups of fox men and dwarfs who were broken by ogres. Xiao Yu took them all in, put them in a space ring to prepare to take them back to Wentiancheng.

Their current location is already the center of the Ogre Mountains. It should have been an area where ferocious beasts and monsters are rampant and ogres are flooded. However, there are two people who have grown up here since childhood as guides. Everyone walked in the gap between the powerful monster territory and the Ogre tribe, and did not alarm any powerful existence or encountered any dangerous things.

The sky gradually darkened, the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees, and the branches and leaves were blown by the wind, and soon a heavy rain poured down. The rain hit the leaves, making a crisp sound. The rain dripped down the branches, making the forest wet.

The big beard of the copper hammer kept dripping with water, laughing: "Hahahaha, you see, even the sky is helping the dwarves. The heavy rain can dilute the smell and affect the monster's predation and harassment. We should be able to walk smoother. At the current speed, we can reach the mine in at most two or three hours."

"Is that true? I don't like this environment."

Xiao Yu was soaked all over, walking in the forest step by step. Most of the ground was rotten leaves and soft soil. When there was more moisture, it became muddy and difficult to walk. In order to save as much effort as possible, Xiao Yu did not choose to fly.

Tong Hammer looked up at the dark sky and said, "It's dark and we have to rush on our way all night. Although it rained, the forest at night was very dangerous, so we have to be more careful."

Xiao Yu was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly caught a fleeting figure between the wet branches in front of him, and immediately shouted: "Be careful of copper hammer, there is something in front of him!" As soon as he finished speaking, several not-tall but very agile figures suddenly popped out of the woods, and several javelins with green light were shot at several people. The javelins came towards him, and everyone was in a state of rapid advancement, and the speed was so fast that it almost made people unable to react.

"Damn it!"

The copper hammer shouted violently, threw out an energy hammer and smashed two javelins. The butcher did not dodge or dodge. The javelin shot through the body as if pierced a layer of paper, and instantly penetrated more than a dozen giant trees behind. The butcher's huge penetration wound recovered in just two seconds. Although the physical attack was ineffective against the butcher, this attack made him stop.

Only Xiao Yu was not affected by the attack and instantly saw through the trajectory of the javelin. He stepped on the muddy ground with a slight difference, avoiding the javelin with a strong black aura. The sword covered with the strong black aura was already in his hand, and rushed forward without any pause. The sword was swung in the air and left a gray track in the air and slashed it hard.

"Bang!"

In the darkness, two weapons collided and splashed dazzling sparks. The two sides had similar strengths and were each shocked to a small step back. The black shadow didn't know what martial arts they used. During the retreat, the spear changed into a green snake like Xiao Yu bit it off the neck, and the attack was fierce and vicious, trying to kill with one blow.

Xiao Yu slashed the strange snake with a knife. The moment he stabilized, he activated the bullet for a moment, and three times the explosive force jumped up. The surrounding ground collapsed by a huge force. A crimson sword light slashed towards the black shadow.

The cold power of the sword light freezes the water vapor in the air, forming a large area of ​​crimson ice mist. The enemy was startled by the sudden increase in power and speed, and tried his best to retreat, but was still rubbed by the crimson sword light.

The sneak attacker was extremely agile, obviously a speed-type warrior. When the bronze hammer and the butcher rushed up, they had retreated into the woods. However, Xiao Yu saw clearly his appearance. This was a smart creature about 1.67 meters tall, covered with a layer of green scales, and a tail. His head was a lizard's head.

The copper hammer roared: "The master of the lizard human race!" As he spoke, an energy hammer immediately condensed and smashed it. Before the energy hammer with amazing destructive power arrived, the green magic barrier appeared out of thin air to block the dwarf's attack. After Xiao Yu forced the lizard man to the leg, he slashed the greatly weakened barrier with one knife. The powerful demon-breaking power pulled a hole in the green barrier. The entire light wall was broken and turned into a photoelectric everywhere in the air.

Xiao Yu didn't have time to rush up, and suddenly felt his feet soft, and the surrounding land suddenly turned into a black swamp. The huge attraction tightly attracted his feet. The powerful binding force made people unable to move, so he slowly pulled down the swamp.

This is a level 4 earth magic, sinking into the swamp!

The lizardman walked out of the forest, and there were ten people. The weakest ones were late-stage third-level strength. The two strongest lizardmen, one in the early stage of the fourth-level, and the other in the early stage of the fourth-level, were both powerful masters. One of the early stage of the fourth-level, Lizardman warriors, holding a green spear in his hand, and two short swords tied around his waist, had a shallow knife edge from his right shoulder to his right chest. The wound was not deep and it was fine, but a thin layer of ice had covered half of his body, making his body stiff and tremble. The raindrops immediately condensed on the thin ice, and in a blink of an eye it thickened half a centimeter.

No matter what, this Lizardman warrior never expected that with the agility of the Lizardman warrior, as the side of the surprise attack, not only did not gain an advantage, but was also injured by the opponent, causing a considerable loss.

Jin Li and other third-level dwarves were trapped in the swamp and could not move. They sank into the magic swamp little by little without resisting. The situation of the copper hammer was similar, and they shouted loudly: "The despicable and hateful lizard man actually attacked us, and he used such a shameless trap!"

An elderly man walked out of the lizardman, holding a long staff in his hand, sinking into the swamp was his masterpiece. He said in the high dwarf: "A stubborn and stupid dwarf, get out of this land, this mountain range does not welcome dwarfs!"

The bronze hammer said angrily: "It's your business to go home."

The old master of Lizardman said coldly: "Since the ignorant and greedy dwarves came here, they have dug too deep for the ore. There is a terrible curse buried under this mountain range. Not long ago, the seal had gaps, and a terrible disaster will sooner or later on the continent! This is the masterpiece of the stupid dwarves, and you must pay the price of blood and soul for this!"

Copper Hammer said: "Nonsense, that seal is already weak, and even without dwarves, it will sooner or later disappear. Moreover, the dwarves have always followed the will of Master Stone and always guarded the seal. The stupid ogres who caused the seal to be damaged!"

The old master of Lizardman said: "Asia Steel? Like other dwarves, Ya Steel is just a stubborn idiot!"

The fourth-level warrior of the Lizardman used his strength to shatter the ice on his shoulders, gradually recovering and saying: "This is all Yagang's fault! If he hadn't insisted on establishing a mine and did not obey the dissuasion of the ancestors of all ethnic groups in the forest, this result would not have happened!"

A dwarf led by Yagang came here and found an area with the most concentrated magic ore with outstanding vision and experience. Yagang was very happy and led the dwarf to settle down and form a dwarf mine. Since the dwarf owned the mine, the harassment and attacks of lizardmen and ogres have not stopped for a day. He called this place a forbidden area in the forest, and attempted to drive the dwarf out with force.

The dwarf is persistent and stubborn, and he is soft but not hard. If he sits down and talks about the powerful relationship, Yagang will not be convinced. But the forest races use extreme force to expel them, and the dwarfs will not surrender even if they die together. Yagang is even more so. He is a peak warrior in the fourth-level. In addition to him, the pioneers of the mines, there are at least the first high-level dwarf warriors in the late stage of the fourth-level. There are more than thirty warriors with strength than the fourth-level, which is definitely not easy to mess with. Anyone who comes to make trouble will be defeated by the dwarfs unceremoniously.

Over the years, the battle between dwarves and lizardmen, ogres and other races has been intermittent and has never really stopped. The dwarves' population has not been increased or replenished with fresh blood. Therefore, when the pioneers led by Yasteel died, the dwarves' mine declined from their heyday and was finally completely captured by the joint offensive forces of several ogre tribes more than half a year ago.

Xiao Yu should have thought of it long ago.

Even if the strength of the dwarf mine was not as good as before, at that time there were at least ten fourth-level high-level dwarves in the mine. The population of the entire dwarf mine was only 30,000 or 20,000 yuan, and there could not be too much food. A battle with disproportionate losses and interests is not worthy of such a mobilization of the troops. The ogres have low intelligence, so they are not stupid enough to launch such a plunder war. The ore and food are just plundering by the way. What they want to do most is to drive the dwarves away from here!

Jin Li and the copper hammer didn't care so much. When they heard the lizard man say bad things about the great patriarch Yagang, the two of them suddenly became furious, but the black mud swamp under their feet became more and more attractive. The more they struggled, the faster they fell, the more viscous black mud almost covered the dwarf's chest.

Xiao Yu was not in a hurry to get out of trouble and asked, "What exactly is under that mine? Why is it worth your efforts?"

The old master of Lizardman replied: "This is a legend passed down from the mouths of a distant ancestor. It is an unknown seal that will cause a terrible disaster. This is a rule set by the ancestors. No one can violate it. If you talk less nonsense, those who want to enter the forbidden area will only die!"

Xiao Yu sneered and said, "Save it, I really think I'm afraid of your magic? In my opinion, the seal has been damaged and it will be a matter of time before it completely collapses. It's better to let us go quickly. We just go back to the mine to get something, and we can help reconnaissance the situation inside."

"Dream, don't even think about it!"

The old mage of the Lizardman waved his staff with a force and shouted, "The chat is over." He looked at Xiao Yu and the butcher, "Are you involved in the unrelated persons? Since you are colluding with the dwarves, then be buried with the dwarves forever, go to die!"

A magical power was injected into the sinking swamp, and the entire swamp was stirred like a bucket of paste, and the sinking speed increased. This magic was quite powerful, and the black mud was very sticky like strong glue, which made people unable to exert force. At the same time, the binding force was extremely strong and it could not escape, and it actually had the effect of silence.

No wonder this old lizard talks so much nonsense before taking action, clearly delaying time to ensure that the three fourth-level people are completely subdued.

The copper hammer's chin was immersed in the swamp, and he widened his eyes and shouted, "Not good!"

Xiao Yu put the sword into the ring, pulled off the bandage-like strips wrapped around his left arm, revealing a unique arm. A large number of tattoo-like earthy marks were deeply imprinted in the skin like spider webs, like cracks on the dry yellow earth, which looked a bit hideous and terrifying at first glance.

The old master Lizardman frowned when he saw the hand, "This arm..."

Xiao Yu didn't react at the lizard man, and his left hand quickly inserted into the magic swamp - sandy!
