"What's wrong?" Bruto asked in confusion, "Isn't this good?"

With a 'smash' sound, his shiny hammer fell into the yellow-green sewage in the sewer. The sewage was much thicker than it looked. It took the hammer two or three seconds to sink.

"Ah, it's okay, my hammer will fly back by itself."

"That's the problem." Ekmon reminded in a gloomy tone.

A low buzzing sound rang out, and Bruto's hammer broke through the water surface and flew straight towards its owner with a drizzle of yellow and green liquid.

"No!!!" the dwarf screamed miserably, "Stop! You damn hammer! Don't come here!"

The hammer naturally cannot understand the master's call. The magic attached to it allows it to automatically fly back to the master's hand after hitting the target or falling to the ground. If it doesn't work, at least it will fly back to the position where it was originally thrown out.

Bruto watched the hammer get closer and closer to him in despair. He raised his shield high and prepared to use it to catch the hammer instead of his hands. The others were already away from him, and no one wanted to be stuck to the splashed juice.

Except for Lancelo. He watched the distance and stabbed the sword with a sword. The tip of the sword was accurately pointed at the hammer head. At the same time, a burst of air burst out from his body, blowing back the juice that splashed forward.

With a "bang", the hammer fell to the ground and smashed a small pit. The surface of this powerful weapon still had disgusting mucus, and some rag strips of suspicious use were hung on it, which made the dwarf's facial features twist together in pain.

"That...Alamil!" Bruto tried to seek some help, "Can you create clean water out of thin air? I need that now!"

"The divine art given to me by the goddess is not used on this!" The elf priest refused firmly.

"That's really a bit blasphemous. Maybe it will cause him to lose his magical power." Karalin shook his head, "I'll do it, I'll just use the spell."

The scholar put his hand into the bag behind him, and the magic container ensured that he could always touch the item he wanted immediately.

"This spell came from a magic empire that was once extremely developed in history, but was destroyed in the disaster caused by their greatest arcane master's attempt to enthrone the gods." Karalin pulled the scroll open, and the arcane runes drawn on it began to light up. "It is said that almost everyone could use magic at that time, so many very practical spells were created to serve the daily lives of civilians."

A light blue beam of light shot out from his fingertips, covering Bruto's hammer. The stain on the surface disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, the hammer was cleaner than it could ever be.

"Kalalin, I love you!" Bruto confessed to the scholar excitedly, picked up his hammer, and then he looked at the other party with some doubts, "The running water is like a strong sour for vampires, so little Isa can't take a bath, right? Did she also rely on your spell to keep it clean?"

"Ahem..." The scholar suddenly blushed, "Miss Isabella is a poor lady, I am very happy to be able to help her..."

Lancelo shook his head, shook his sword, and poked the sword tip a few times on the wall, which was cleaned up. He walked forward two steps and squatted on the ground to check the trap that triggered the stone ball just now.

There were very small silk threads on the ground that stretched out from the authentic walls, and any creature that was taller than his waist would easily get caught.

"It seems that the authentic builders are still living here." Karalin also came over and commented on the simple trap. "The kobolds are unlikely to get along with the undead creatures. Maybe they can give us some useful information if we can find these little guys."

"I bet they already know we're here." Bruto looked at the trap resentful, "Damn it, if I get closer, I will definitely find it in advance!"

"At least you triggered this trap in advance, but the solution is not right." Lancelo patted the dwarf's shoulder, "Before throwing the hammer out next time, please confirm if there is anything you don't want to touch."

Everyone continued to move forward, this time they discovered several traps in advance, including stones falling from the ceiling, spear tips suddenly pierced on the floor, and crossbow arrows shot out from the small holes in the wall. After Cora failed to try to remove the trap for the second time, he was replaced by Bruto, who was responsible for solving these traps, holding a shield and stepping on them directly.

After passing several corners, they found a fork in the road, and the waterway used for sewage was turned to the other side, while an authentic tunnel not on the map pointed in the other direction.

"Look there!" Bruto pointed to the inside of the passage, and the dwarf's dark vision allowed him to clearly see the unlit place of the elf priest's hammer.

I saw that the passage was filled with activated traps, with crossbow arrows and knifes inserted into the walls and floors, but a human-shaped corpse lying deep in the depths. Everyone walked in carefully and found that the body was covered with weapons and dents hit by stones. It was obvious that before falling down, they experienced multiple rounds of baptism of traps.

"I'm afraid these traps are not the cause of his death." Caralin held a bracelet full of arcane runes, and an illusory silver palm appeared out of thin air, turning the corpse with a face facing downwards. Only then did everyone find a dagger inserted into the corpse's chest.

Kola's potion was still in effect, but everyone still smelled a strong stench. The body was extremely swollen, as if it had been soaked in the water for a long time. The entire front of it had been gnawed clean by maggots, and the internal organs in the chest and abdomen had disappeared, revealing the black bones that had been soaked.

As the scholars suggest, the corpse died long ago, and some kind of force made him stand up again, and then blindly walked into these traps until severe damage made the evil force unable to maintain his activity.

"I guess Akmennon is not the only one who has been harassed by zombies." Bruto suddenly shouted into the depths of the cave: "Koggy! I know you are listening, tell us what these zombies are going on!"

The sound echoed between the caves, as if it was far away, but there was no response at all.

"If you don't come out, I'm going in!" Bruto continued to shout.

There was still no movement, so the dwarf began to walk inside regardless. Lancelo looked at his reckless behavior helplessly, but did not stop him.

He first stepped on a pressure trap, a stone as big as the dwarf's head fell from above, shattering on Bruto's helmet. The latter just looked up in confusion and then continued to walk forward.

Immediately afterwards, there was a trip rope trap, and three crossbow arrows suddenly shot at the back of the dwarf's head, and Bruto turned around and blocked them all with a shield.

"Good try," commented the dwarf, "are you willing to come out and talk now?"

Still no response. Bruto shrugged and suddenly made a move that stunned everyone: he raised his shield and began to sprint forward as fast as possible.
