The stones that were bounced and rolled to the side were not big, each one was only about half a person's height in diameter. The stones themselves were nothing special, what was special was that they were covered with blood vessels that emitted a warm light.
Orange-red veins. As the potential energy on the body disappears, some organs with biological characteristics slowly protrude from the stone.
It may not be accurate to say they are organs, because no one can connect the cylinder-like bodies that appear to be composed entirely of gravel to the limbs of animals. However, when the two stones use the cylinders protruding from the inside to connect the body
When you adjust it to a certain direction and open an orange eye from the convergence of all the orange-red veins, the situation is different.
"Stone men." Cheese whispered their names.
The name "Stone Man" is a human translation of its meaning. Its original text comes from the ancient language of the dwarves, and its original meaning is the eyes in the stone. This is a creature that even the children of the hill have only heard of in legends.
According to miners' legends, stone men only live very deep underground, and their appearance often means the presence of dangerous lava rivers nearby.
Dwarves will take the initiative to exit the mine after encountering this strange creature. They regard encountering the stone man as a warning from the earth. The eyes opened from the stone also have a warning meaning in the culture of the dwarves.
.
But no matter what, stone people should not appear here. Their range of activities and habits are destined to have no connection with surface life. There have never been reports of encountering stone people on the ground in history, and they rarely interact with surface creatures.
There are often deep-seated reasons behind the abnormality of things. As for the abnormal things that happened here, I am afraid that the cause can be attributed to the descendants of the evil god. The creation of the rocky land itself is unnatural, and the unnatural rocky land appears again.
The stone man who should not have appeared, the two unreasonable additions, may actually be reasonable on the inside. Perhaps it is because this rocky land was forcibly moved to the surface, and the stone men who originally lived here were transported here with them.
The problem is, no matter what the entanglement between Yandi, the stone man and the evil god's descendant is, these two angry stones with their eyes open don't seem to want to reason with cheese and the others.
No one knows whether the stone men were originally warlike or not, and there is no need to force it, because any creature will show aggression when forced to a certain extent, either out of fear or anger, anything in between.
The difference is hard to really tell.
There is nothing they can do about it. They will meet the sandshell people who come together because of common interests as soon as they meet, and they will also meet the stone people who have a life-and-death hatred when they meet.
The only difference is that if the sandshell people are the hostile party, things may not be too troublesome. Cheese and the others have many ways to calm down these restless children. But the development of the matter is a joke, the stone people
Anger is not extinguished so easily.
"Do you want to fight? They don't look very flexible, we should be able to run away." Wei Ya didn't know what the stone men in Cheese's mouth meant. To be honest, in the current situation, she was willing to put aside her curiosity and choose to save.
Avoid this conflict yourself.
Because this seemed to be a completely unreasonable disaster, these weird stone one-eyed dragons were suddenly ejected from the geyser and hit them in front of them, showing such a hostile attitude. Who would face such a situation? No
If you want to have a head-on conflict with them, that would be too pointless. If a wild dog on the roadside bares its teeth at you, do you want to rush up and kill it quickly?
Luoluo looked at Gray Robe. From her eyes, he could feel that she supported the female mage's point of view. They had already lost half of their members, but they had not yet seen the shadow of the target. Anything that might increase casualties.
All of them should be avoided. If it weren't for the calmness and ease that Cheese had shown all along, she would even start to suggest that the team turn around and leave.
Gray robe? Silent. His eyes focused on the stone men. These creatures live in rock formations deep underground? They are not good at moving in the open and empty surface world. At human speed? They really can't
A real threat. But humans are not the only ones here.
Not only the piece of gravel that was first hit on the sand shield, but wherever the stone man passed by? The ground was full of traces burned by high temperature. If the one eye wasn't a decoration, they wouldn't have missed it.
Another group of spectators here? The Sandshells.
Biquge
The team can just walk away? What about the sandshell people who stayed behind? When they all burrow back into the sand, will the stone people give up the pursuit? Are those stone people also underground dwellers? If they carry enough energy to melt
If the sand-temperature body penetrates deep into the sandbank, the society of the sandshell people will inevitably be severely damaged.
"Want to fight? And we have to fight quickly." Cheese took off his hood, and the terrifying light of magic flashed in his eyes. More than half of the team members were lost? Are the companions exhausted? Of course he knows that? He knows better.
Who is responsible for this? These stone men implicated their anger, so don't blame him for venting some of this hostility on the other party.
The gray robe began to tremble in the owner's emotional fluctuations, and the emblem of the rat with a lantern on the back seemed to come alive. The pure natural environment was originally not suitable for a spellcaster like Cheese to cast spells, but Wei Ya's sand shield just gave him inspiration,
He patted the ground with his hand, and the sand was disturbed by invisible forces, creating obvious depressions.
It is not easy or efficient to use magic power to directly affect external things. Fortunately, the dispersed and soft nature of the sand made what Gray Robe did much easier. Cheese controlled the depression and quickly turned his wrist
, the flow was generated in the depression as if a chopstick was constantly stirring. A funnel-shaped vortex quickly appeared, and there was still rotation inside.
Luoluo and Wei Ya looked at the sand pit and felt a little confused. They didn't quite understand Cheese's intention. If he wanted to create a sand pit as a trap, he could just let Wei Ya do it.
Evocation mages are better at doing these things.
Even if he chooses to do it himself in order to save Wei Ya's physical strength, the bunker has already been completed, so why keep stirring it? You know, with the collapse of the surrounding sand, the bunker that was originally waist deep is being
It became gentle. Didn't Gray Robe notice this?
It's not like Cheese didn't notice. He could even feel that he was deliberately turning the sharp inverted cone-shaped bunker into a bowl-shaped pit with a rounded bottom. Sweat beads began to appear on his head. That's because
The performance in front of him was not a magic performed through a certain magic medium. It was simply him using magic power to imitate Wei Ya's actions, forcefully moving the sand.
Finally, when the two stone men were less than ten steps away from his sand pit, the gray robe's face showed a satisfied expression. He pushed his hand forward, and the rolling sand pit seemed to come alive.
He walked towards the stone man, and unsurprisingly trapped the two slow-moving creatures inside.
But what's the use? They can climb out of such a shallow hole immediately. The difficulty of climbing in quicksand will be immediately lost when faced with high temperatures that can melt it, and the scattered sand particles will be dissolved into viscous
Molten. But looking at Cheese's expression, he couldn't help but worry about the effect of his spell. He also looked relaxed and at ease, which meant that his move had been completed and the spell had been completed.
"Look at them, Uni. You have to understand that casting spells does not mean that we have to make a draft first, prepare the bow and arrow, and then shoot at the enemy. Casting spells means that we have to use the most appropriate weapon at the most appropriate time.
method, the most appropriate method to deal with our target. Treating spells as tools of death is a blasphemy against the art of spellcasting."
The apprentice blinked. He didn't quite understand what his instructor said. But he could still see the scene in front of him. After being sucked into the sand pit, he saw that the two stone men did not climb out as quickly as others expected.
On the contrary, the clockwise flow of sand in the sand pit caused them to temporarily lose their balance. Their shape was originally stones, although they had extra arms and legs, the overall shape was still round. It was not so easy to roll.
Stop.
"Gulu, Gulu!" A rolling sound with inertia came from the sand pit, which made people feel strange.
The sound was not like two stones rolling down in the sand, but like two iron balls spinning in a copper plate. Cheese made an invitation gesture to his companions and led them towards the sandpit. The two ladies
After hesitating for a moment, they still followed Gray Robe. They walked to the source of the sound in a few steps and saw the current situation in the sand pit.
I saw that the funnel originally composed of sand grains turned into a rough glass-like material at some point. Due to inertia, the two stone men rotated rapidly in the cage one after the other without any momentum to stop.
"Their own high temperature melts the sand, and the rotating quicksand will bring in cool breeze. When the melted sand is cooled, it will turn into glass. Steel balls on the glass can roll for a long time. With some magic, this period can be
