At this point, Major had no choice but to bite the bullet. He climbed up along the narrow stone stairs. The cave was like a giant mouth of a monster, ready to choose people and devour them. Gusts of dark wind blew out from inside, leaving a thick feeling inside.
Putrid smell.
This is your sister! Major really wants to give himself two slaps. Why are you helping the dwarves kill wild boars without any problems? This is not going to get you into trouble. This is the result of meddling in other people's business.
As a man who is afraid of ghosts, Major is most afraid of terrain like ancient tombs.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to walk in. Once he entered the cave, he had already fallen into complete darkness within a few steps. Fortunately, Major had super dark vision, so it had no effect.
Dempsey gave him a detailed map of the underground palace, with all the passages and buildings marked on it. Despite the small number of dwarves in the Bronzebeard tribe, the former palace was not small. It was actually divided into three floors. In addition, it extended in all directions.
Even the dwarves themselves don't know how many mines there are.
It is said that the excavated ancient tomb is in a mine under the third floor of the palace.
Major tiptoed not far away when a mummy appeared on the ground. He was obviously a dwarf. He also held a one-handed ax in his hand. His muscles were withered and his eyes were half-open, looking very hideous.
Major couldn't help but think of the common scenes in horror movies where corpses suddenly come back to life. He stretched out the iron rod in his hand and tapped the mummy.
This iron rod was specially requested by Major from Dempsey. It is about one meter long, about the thickness of a cucumber, and very heavy. It feels very safe to hold it in your hand. He is not going to box with various corpses and skeletons. He
I also bought two iron arm guards to prevent being bitten by zombies.
Major was relieved that the mummy was motionless, but just in case, he smashed its head with an iron rod.
After walking for another ten meters, a closed stone door appeared in front of us. It turned out that this was the real door of the underground palace. The stone door was carved with complex patterns and seemed to be inlaid with some gems, but these gems had long been dimmed and lost their luster.
Lost its original luster.
Major pushed hard, and the stone door slowly opened with a harsh rumble.
A figure slowly stood up following the voice and slowly turned his head towards Major.
Major sighed. Sure enough, he was still a zombie.
This guy was also a dwarf when he was alive, but his long death made him very thin, and his cheeks had been bitten by mice, exposing his teeth.
It reached deep into its arms and silently rushed towards Major.
Major hit it on the head, smashed its head, and kicked it away. This low-level zombie poses no threat other than being disgusting.
Continuing to walk forward, I encountered many zombies of this kind along the way, all of which were killed instantly with one hit without delay. Some of the zombies even had helmets on their heads. Major still smashed the helmets and heads, smashing them to pieces.
What's even more depressing is that fighting these zombies has no effect on improving your boxing skills.
Depressed, I have to move forward. This underground palace is actually very well-defended. There are thick iron doors at regular intervals, and there are killing holes above the head. If you want to break in from the outside, you can't do it without thousands of troops.
Even if there were enough troops, a very heavy price would have to be paid. But things are always so unexpected. I am afraid that all the dwarves would not have thought that such a strong defense line would collapse from within.
After walking around the outside along the corridor, Major came to two huge iron doors. The iron doors were ajar, revealing a gap, and he didn't know what terrible things were hidden inside.
Major plucked up the courage and pushed open the door. Unexpectedly, there was a strong wind and evil spirits attacking people. What he saw in front of him was a hall of about 200 square meters, with a full-length statue of a bearded dwarf in the middle, and a statue of a bearded dwarf on both sides.
There are long rows of weapon racks filled with various weapons.
The map indicated that this was the parade ground of the Ironbeard Dwarves. There was no scene of corpses strewn across the field as expected, which made Major relieved. Because Dempsey described the battle at the parade ground as the most brutal, and the last organized organization in the tribe.
The troops all died there. Inside the parade ground is the staircase leading to the next level.
Major walked to the middle and looked up at the stone statue of the dwarves. It was the first king of the Ironbeard dwarves. At that time, they could still call themselves kings, but now they are just chiefs. Suddenly a gust of wind blew.
Major saw two green fires flashing somewhere in the darkness. Then there was a rumble on both sides, and several stone doors slowly lifted up. There was a chaotic clicking sound inside, and countless skeletons ran out.
Major was shocked and wanted to go back the way he came, but the road leading to the gate was already blocked by skeletons.
The speed of the skeleton was very fast. In the blink of an eye, a skeleton had rushed in front of Major, raised a one-handed ax and struck at him.
Major's "stick technique" was very clumsy. He was just swinging around randomly. He subconsciously raised the stick to block it, and with a clang, the skeleton's arm flew into the air with the ax in it.
This was an absolute advantage in strength. It seemed that these skeletons were in poor physical condition. Major was relieved. He roared and jumped into the group of skeletons.
There are no tricks, just highlight one word: fierce.
Skeletons seemed to be a little faster than zombies, but in Major's eyes they were no more than snails and no threat. Major rushed in with a big iron rod, and bones flew all over the sky.
But that's it, Major thought.
Suddenly, a green fireball appeared out of nowhere and flew towards Major.
The speed was very slow, and Major didn't take it to heart. He swung the iron rod and smashed the two skeletons in front of him, and turned sideways to avoid the fireball.
Unexpectedly, the fireball changed direction in mid-air and silently flew towards Major's chest. A layer of green fire burst out from the canopy, emitting a choking smell of sulfur.
Major was startled, but when he calmed down, he found that he was unharmed. Only a big hole was burned out of the clothes on his chest.
Before he could react, another green fireball flew over and hit his back. Needless to say, it burned his clothes again.
Major was furious, "This is your sister, if I get beaten a few more times, I'm going to run away naked." He summoned his strength, smashed the skeleton in front of him, and looked around in private.
Another fireball flew up from the west corner of the hall. Major raised his legs and ran towards there.
Sneaky attacks are the most annoying thing.
A small skeleton was standing in the corner holding a bone staff, with green fire flashing in his head. When he saw Major coming, he immediately sent a fireball, turned around and ran away.
Where to run? The little skeleton was dragging its two short legs, wobbling, and couldn't run fast at all. Major caught up with him in two steps, and hit him with a stick on the head.
The moment the iron rod hit the little skeleton, its bone staff flashed with green light, and its whole body turned into a semi-insubstantial state, allowing the iron rod to pass through the body without any harm.
Major felt like he had hit a ball of air.
The little skeleton immediately turned around and pointed the staff at Major. There were two rattling sounds in his throat, and a dark green light hit Major's chest.
Major's chest tightened, and then, as if nothing was wrong, he reached out and used "Absolute Heat".
The skeleton is now immune to physical attacks. Major thought about it, and among his skills, only absolute high temperature may have some effect on it. As for the stun technique, absolute shock is definitely useless against undead creatures. Not to mention the curse on the ring.
It's a spell.
The skeleton reacted very quickly. As soon as it saw Major reciting a spell, it immediately released its void state and dodged to the side.
However, Major also moved very quickly. Following its movements with his left hand, a ball of purple flame shot out, hit the skeleton, and immediately engulfed it.
The whole body of the skeleton flashed green light several times, each time dimming the purple flames all over the body, but in the end it was not completely offset. When the last green light disappeared, there was still a layer of faint purple flames burning on it.
Second.
Major didn't know if the undead creature felt pain, but it looked like it was badly injured and in a very miserable state. Its white bones were stained with a layer of black-purple, and the green light in its head was dimmed a lot.
Both Absolute Heat and Fireball belong to the evocation system, and they have similarities, such as they both emit a ball of flame.
However, although Major did not learn it, he had seen the explanation of the fireball technique.
Fireball: Throws a controllable fireball at the target - a favorite of pyromaniacs.
The fireball thrown by Fireball can change its direction midway. But as a basic skill, its power is obviously very low.
The fireball thrown by the absolute high temperature has a short distance and cannot change the direction. It is similar to throwing a stone. However, it is extremely powerful. As the description says, it can melt steel.
Major guessed that these two skills represented two different directions of flame control, one pursuing long-range and precision, and the other pursuing high power.
He still remembered that the first time he used absolute high temperature, the color of the fireball was white and very hot.
The current color is purple, and the temperature doesn't feel as high as before. But the burning time is much longer, and it has an explosive effect when used in closed places. For example, Haruna's mouth and Helex's belly.
In comparison, Major prefers the current feeling - the purple flame burns very beautifully, and the effect is absolutely gorgeous.
Getting back to the topic, the skeleton took this blow and no longer dared to be careless. He waved the bone stick in his hand, and instantly a cage of white bones rose from under his feet, covering it tightly inside.
When Major saw this, he raised the iron rod and struck it. This was exactly what he wanted. He was afraid that you would run away, but not afraid of you being strong. Depending on whether your bones are stronger, my iron rod is still stronger.
Sure enough, as soon as the stick was struck, cracks appeared in the bone cage. However, the skeleton did not seem to be afraid, and still waved the staff inside. It opened and closed its mouth, as if it was reciting some spell.
Major ignored it and continued knocking.
Before knocking three or two times, there was a clicking sound behind him. Major suddenly felt something strange, turned his head and took a breath.
