Looking at Downton and Hu Tao who were indifferent, Sissi lowered her head and smiled, putting away the necklace. This kind of generosity and generosity made her think more highly of the two of them, as well as the airline, which she originally played on a whim.
It's mostly fun, but now, I'm planning to do it well.
It would be strange for Downton not to feel bad for giving away jewelry worth 200 million, but he can still accept it since the gift is given to Sissi. As long as he can deepen his relationship with her, no matter how much money he spends, it is worth it.
With a status like Bavarian Rose, those wealthy people who wanted to curry favor and send gifts could not find opportunities or connections, and they could not even meet her in person.
Holding the luminous pearl, Downton leads the way.
Abundant underground water veins created Danzhu Lake, which naturally has these natural caves with twists and turns and complex topography.
It took tens of thousands of years to carve this place into a majestic and magnificent karst landform. If it were placed on the surface of the earth, it would definitely be a famous scenic spot. The tourism industry alone would make the lord a lot of money.
Tick tock! Tick tock!
On the roof of the cave, there is a group of stalactites connected together, like hanging bamboo shoots, with water droplets condensed from the tips, constantly falling down.
Occasionally it falls into the collar and touches the skin. The coldness makes people shiver uncontrollably.
The cave is long and winding, bottomless, like the esophagus of a greedy snake in the starry sky. Because it is so quiet, even the sound of breathing is infinitely amplified. Every time you set foot, there will be an echo of footsteps coming from the depths of the cave.
"Don't you need to make some marks? What should I do if I get lost?"
In addition to the widest main cave, caves appeared from time to time on the adjacent cave walls. When Downton deviated from the main trunk and entered a branch cave, Sissi asked in a low voice.
"Already doing it."
Twilight replied, except that Downton used a dagger to cut obvious marks in hidden places. Her magic mark was also marked on the cave wall.
The physical mark may be obscured by some deceptive magic, but the magical brand will never be, because it is the mark of the soul, as eye-catching as a beacon in the dark.
After walking for nearly an hour, there was still nothing found. Hu Tao and Sissi's patience was worn away.
"Haven't found it yet?"
Sissi wiped the sweat from her forehead. The cave was too dangerous and she could be attacked at any time, so she had to concentrate all the time, which made her feel very tired.
"Not yet."
Twilight has no choice. The terrain is too complex. Even if Downton tries his best to search, he can't take care of everything, so everyone has a range that needs to be vigilant.
Twilight is very considerate and understands Sissi's pride. Otherwise, she would have taken over her task long ago.
"Princess, you rest for a while and leave your defense area to me!"
Palin was very attentive.
"I'm fine, go ahead. If you go late, the Heart of the Mountains might be robbed."
Sissi cheered up, and her pride burst out. Twilight and the others were all of the same age. If they could do it, so could she.
After another half hour of forward exploration, the cave suddenly opened up, and a huge cave appeared in everyone's field of vision, as vast as a palace hall.
"Corpse!"
Sissi pointed to a place more than thirty meters away, where there was the corpse of a female drow. The upper body was blown apart and turned into a ball of rotten flesh.
After Twilight confirmed that there was no problem, she raised her hand and cast a lighting spell, and a white light ball slowly rose into the sky, illuminating the surrounding ground.
ah!
Sissi covered her mouth in shock.
There are many dead bodies here, more than three hundred of them, all belonging to drow and dwarves. The rest are their demon servants who died in battle.
"Is this also a dark elf?"
Hu Tao saw a 'deformed' drow corpse. It had a dark complexion and a head of thick, slightly yellowish white hair, all of which was combed back and tied into a ponytail.
The skin on its body is very thin and covered with a layer of fine white vellus hair. You can clearly see those strong and well-defined muscles. There is no doubt that its strength is definitely not inferior to that of a dwarf.
"This is the demon drow, a semi-purgatory dark creature. The dark priestess will undergo a terrible sacrilegious ritual at the graduation ceremony of the Spider Academy. The best priestess of the class will summon a demon queen and
If we meet each other, there is a certain chance that this priest will conceive and give birth to a demon drow."
There was an unconcealable frivolity in Pelinkop's tone.
"Disgusting!"
Sissi frowned.
The demon drow are very easy to recognize. The most eye-catching feature is that they are two and a half meters tall and have four arms. The upper ones are super huge and have sharp claws. The lower ones are normal size and can resemble their sacrifices.
The mother casts spells just like her, so these demon drows all have both magic and martial arts, and their combat power is very terrifying.
"Your Highness, for the dark elves, giving birth to a demon-born drow means the Spider Queen's special blessing, her favor, and her care for the family of this high-ranking priestess." Palin kicked.
He kicked the corpse and joked with a chuckle, "Every demon drow is the ace fighting force of the drow family. If one dies here, the mistress of the family will be so distressed that she will cry to death."
Downton checked and found that there were three corpses of Hill Kings nearby. Judging from the fatal wounds, they were all killed by the demon drow. The half-purgatory creature was wounded all over, and it should have been caused by more than a dozen Hill Kings.
The king besieged and died.
"Cheer up, we will be facing the enemy soon."
Twilight reminded, signaling Downton to continue moving forward.
There was no chance of getting lost this time. There was blood on the ground, and you could find it if you followed it. However, after only two minutes of walking, Hu Tao raised his right hand and gestured to stop.
"Quick, hide, someone is coming!"
Hu Tao's perception has always been sharp. As soon as she finished speaking, Twilight seemed to have received some signal, her face darkened, and she pulled Sissi and ran to the side cave at a light pace.
The princess' breathing quickened immediately, her eyes widened, and she stared deeply into the cave.
"Don't be nervous!" Twilight patted Sissi's stiff shoulder and told her to relax, "There are many caves here, and huge stone stalactites several meters high stand up. They are very suitable for hiding and usually will not be discovered."
Three minutes later, the sound of messy footsteps was heard. It was filled with panic and uneasiness, followed by various screams and battle roars, some from drow, but most of them from dwarves.
Except for Sissi, who has no adventure experience, all four people in Downton judged that this was a chase.
Sure enough, another three minutes later, two figures appeared in the field of vision, a female drow carrying a seriously injured demon drow, running away in embarrassment.
It is too dark in the deep cave, but in order not to be discovered, the adventure team must put away the luminous pearl, so it is a kind of torture for the people on the surface. Even if they open their eyes wide, they can only see some blurry black shadows.
The natives who were born to live underground do not have such troubles, even if they cannot see their fingers. They are walking on the ground, fighting and fleeing.
Downton has the body of a fire god, and his eyes have been strengthened, so he can still see the outline of the enemy a little clearly. The female drow who escaped is the Dahni who once hunted them down.
Chasing her were a dozen Judgment-level dwarves, led by three hill kings.
"It seems that the dwarves have obtained the heart of the mountain."
Downton was not surprised by this result. As natives, drow and dwarves have lived underground for tens of thousands of years. Who would believe it without some information? What's more, the living habits of people with spiritual intelligence are recorded in the books. All you need to do is follow the pictures to find out.
That’s it.
The same goes for Twilight's Warcraft reconnaissance. Otherwise, this cave would not have been discovered in time.
The situation was indeed as Downton had guessed. There was no shortage of natural mining experts among the dwarves who had a keen sense of minerals. Led by them, they divided into small teams to conduct the search.
Sure enough, one of the best mining experts found the Heart of the Mountain, but the drow are not stupid. After seeing the dwarves blockading the Greyridge Mountains, Dahni took action. She did not look for the treasure, but played with it.
The tactic of keeping things at bay focuses on the experts and uses dark magic to track them.
Dahni's tactics were successful, but she didn't expect the opponent's reinforcements to come too quickly, so the sneak attack turned into an encounter.
After all, this is the territory of the dwarves, not to mention that there are dwarf patrols all over the mountains and plains. It is impossible for Dahni to lead several teams, so she can only lead elites. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are naturally weaker than the dwarf expedition team.
The encounter was extremely brutal. Not only Dahni was seriously injured, but all her troops were destroyed. Even one of the demon drow died and another was seriously injured.
Of course, the dwarves are not much better. Although they have saved the Heart of the Mountain, why don't they wait for the reinforcements to arrive and still pursue Dahni? Because the scepter-level general who led the team was killed, the legendary treasure worth over 100 million
If weapons are robbed, they must be taken back no matter what.
"Don't Drow always have weak feelings and like to kill each other? She actually saves the demon-born Drow?"
Downton was surprised. He didn't know that the demon drow was the family's ace, representing the Spider Queen's blessing. One of them had already been killed in the battle. If this one also died, Dahni would be executed even if she returned alive.
, to atone for one’s sins from the Spider Queen.
Besides, with the dark magic of the drow, as long as the demon drow is brought back, there is a high chance of saving him, so even if the chance is only one in ten thousand, Dahni has to fight hard to bring him home.
In the cave, roars and roars raged, and the sparks and sounds of weapons clashing were heard.
Downton looked a little dumbfounded. He finally understood why Dahni still dared to chase him on the two-winged manticore that day even though the super beast was attacking. Even though these dwarves were injured and their combat effectiveness was reduced, they still couldn't stop this
Drow's pace is enough to prove her strength.
"Not attacking?"
Watching the melee between the two parties quickly leave, Hu Tao, who was eager to try, was very puzzled.
Downton jumped out of his hiding spot and ran towards the cave, with Twilight following closely behind.
"Idiot, these people don't have the heart of the mountain. What's the point of killing them?" Perrin finally found an opportunity to ridicule Hu Tao.
The Heart of the Mountain is a rare treasure, and its magic energy fluctuations are so strong that even soul-level miscellaneous fish can feel it. Of course, if Perrin knew that Dahni had grabbed a legendary weapon, he would not change his mind.
At this time, the top priority is not to let the dwarves take away the Heart of the Mountain. (To be continued...)
