dark blood

ten hours ago.

Xiao Yu and the dwarf copper hammer left the mountain stream where they were temporarily resting, reconfirmed their direction and headed towards the direction of the dwarf mine.Along the way, he encountered several batches of foxes and dwarves who were scattered by the ogre, and Xiao Yu took them all in, put them into a space ring and prepared to take them back to Wentian City.

The location they are currently in is the central part of the Ogre Mountain Range. It should be an area full of ogres and ogres. However, there are two people who grew up here, Jin Li and Tong Hammer, as guides. Everyone walked in the gap between the powerful monster territory and the ogre tribe, without disturbing any powerful existence, and without encountering any dangerous things.

The sky gradually darkened, the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees, the branches and leaves were swayed by the wind, and soon there was a heavy rain, the rain hit the leaves, making a crisp sound, and the rain dripped down the branches. Let the mountains and forests become moist.

Copper Hammer's beard was dripping with water, and he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, you see, even the sky is helping the dwarves. The heavy rain can dilute the smell and affect the hunting and harassment of monsters. We should be able to walk more smoothly. At the current speed, we can reach the mine in two or three hours at most."

"Really? I don't like this environment."

Xiao Yu was drenched all over, walking in the forest step by step.The ground is mostly rotting leaves and soft soil, and when there is too much water, it will become muddy and difficult to walk. In order to save energy as much as possible, Xiao Yu did not choose to fly.

Tong Hammer looked up at the dark sky and said: "It's already dark, we have to drive all night, although it's raining, the forest at night is very dangerous, we have to be more careful."

Just as Xiao Yu was about to speak, his eyes suddenly caught the fleeting figure among the wet branches in front of him, and he immediately shouted: "Be careful, copper hammer, there is something in front!" A tall but very agile figure shot at several people with several javelins glowing with green light.The javelins were coming towards them, and everyone was in a state of fast forward, so fast that it was almost too late to react.

"Damn!"

The copper hammer yelled, and threw an energy hammer to smash the two javelins. The butcher did not dodge, the javelin pierced through the body as if piercing a layer of paper, and pierced through more than a dozen giant trees behind him in an instant.The huge penetrating wound on the butcher's chest healed in just two seconds. Although physical attacks were ineffective against the butcher, this blow stopped him in his tracks.

Only Xiao Yu was unaffected by the attack, he saw through the trajectory of the javelin in an instant, his footsteps changed in the air, and his toes stepped on the muddy ground, avoiding the javelin by a slight margin, the saber shrouded in a strong black aura was already in his hand, almost without any pause He rushed forward, and slashed down fiercely, leaving a gray trail in the air while waving the saber.

"boom!"

In the darkness, the two weapons collided, splashing out dazzling sparks. The strength of both sides was about the same, and each was shocked back a small step.Hei Ying didn't know what kind of martial skill to use. During the process of retreating, the long spear transformed into a big green snake and bit Xiao Yu's neck. The attack was vicious and vicious, trying to kill him with one blow.

Xiao Yu slashed open the strange snake, and the moment he stabilized his body, he activated the bullet time, and jumped up with three times the explosive power. go down.

The cold power of the sword light freezes the water vapor in the air, forming a large crimson ice fog.Duofa was taken aback by the sudden increase in strength and speed, and tried his best to retreat, but was still brushed by the crimson blade light.

The sneak attacker was extremely agile, and he was obviously a speed-type fighter. When the copper hammer and the butcher rushed up, he had already retreated into the woods, but Xiao Yu could see his appearance clearly. An intelligent creature covered with blue scales, with a tail, and a lizard's head.

The copper hammer roared: "A master of the lizard-human race!" While speaking, he immediately condensed an energy hammer and smashed it. Before the destructive energy hammer arrived, a green magic barrier appeared out of thin air to block the blow of the dwarf.After Xiao Yu forced the lizard man, he slashed at the greatly weakened barrier, and the powerful magic-breaking power pulled the green barrier out of the gap.The entire wall of light was shattered, turning into a sky full of photoelectric hours in the air.

Xiao Yu didn't have time to rush up, and suddenly felt his feet go soft, and the surrounding land instantly turned into a black swamp. The huge attraction force was tightly attached to his feet, and the strong binding force made people unable to move, and slowly pulled them down into the swamp.

This is the fourth-level earth magic, sinking into the swamp!

The lizardmen came out of the forest. There were ten of them in total. The weakest ones were all late-stage third-order lizardmen. The lizardman warrior of the early stage held a green spear in his hand and two short knives tied around his waist. There was a shallow cut from the right shoulder to the right chest of the warrior. The cold ice had already covered half of his body, making his body stiff and trembling, and the raindrops condensed on the thin ice immediately, thickening half a centimeter in a blink of an eye.

No matter what, the lizardman warrior never expected that, with the lizardman warrior's agility, and as the surprise attacking party, instead of gaining an advantage, he was retaliated by the opponent and suffered a big loss.

Jin Li and a group of third-tier dwarves were trapped in the swamp and couldn't move. They sank into the magic swamp little by little without resistance. The situation of Tong Hammer was similar, and he shouted loudly: "You despicable lizard man, how dare you sneak attack us? Use such a shameless trap!"

An old man walked out of the lizardmen, holding a long staff in his hand. The sinking swamp was his masterpiece. He said in the high dwarf language: "Stubborn and stupid dwarves, get out of this land, this mountain range is not worth it!" Welcome dwarves!"

Copper Hammer said angrily: "The dwarf wants to go home, none of your business."

The old lizardman mage said coldly: "Ever 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. A gap has appeared in the seal not long ago. Sooner or later, the terrible disaster will come to the mainland. ! This is the masterpiece of the stupid dwarves, you must pay the price of blood and soul for it!"

Tong Hammer said: "Nonsense, that seal is already weak, even if there are no dwarves, it will dissipate sooner or later. What's more, the dwarves have always followed Master Yagang's will and guarded the seal. It is the stupid cannibal who caused the seal to break magic!"

The lizardman old mage said: "Yagang? Yagang is just a stubborn idiot like other dwarves!"

The Lizardman's Tier [-] warrior shattered the ice on his shoulders with strength, and gradually recovered. Hearing this, he said: "This is all Yagang's fault! If he hadn't insisted on building the mine and didn't listen to the forest With the dissuasion of the ancestors of all ethnic groups, such a result will not happen!"

A group of dwarves led by Yagang came here, and with their outstanding vision and experience, they found an area with the densest concentration of magic ore. Yagang was very happy and led the dwarves to settle here to form a dwarf mine.Since the dwarves owned the mine, the harassment and attacks of the lizardmen and ogres have not stopped for a day, calling this place a forest forbidden area, trying to drive the dwarves out by force.

The dwarves are persistent and stubborn, and they are soft but not hard. If you sit down and talk about the relationship between them, it is not certain that Yagang will be convinced.However, all tribes in the forest use extreme force to expel them, and the dwarves will not give in even if they die together.This is especially true for Yagang. He himself is a peak fourth-order fighter. Besides him, the pioneer of the mine has at least one high-level dwarf fighter in the late fourth-order period. There are more than thirty fighters whose strength exceeds the fourth-order. Anyone who came to make trouble was defeated by the dwarves.

Over the years, the battles between dwarves and lizardmen, ogres and other races have been intermittent, and have never really stopped.The population of dwarves has been unable to increase and cannot be replenished with fresh blood, so when the pioneers headed by Yagang died, the dwarf mines declined from their heyday, and were finally completely destroyed by the combined attacking force of several ogre tribes more than half a year ago. captured.

Xiao Yu should have thought of it earlier.

Even though the strength of the dwarf mine is not as good as before, at that time there were at least ten fourth-tier high-ranking dwarves sitting in the mine, and the population of the entire dwarf mine was only [-] to [-]. It is impossible to have too much food. A battle where the loss is out of proportion to the benefit , It is not worth such a labor-intensive crusade.The ogres are not very intelligent, so they are not stupid enough to launch such a plundering war. The ore and food are just plundered by the way. What they want to do most is to drive the dwarves away from here!

Jinli and Tonghammer didn't care so much. When they heard the lizard people say bad things about the great patriarch Yagang, the two immediately jumped into a rage, but the black mud swamp under their feet became more and more attractive, and the more they struggled, the faster they sank. , The extremely viscous black mud almost covered the dwarf's chest.

Xiao Yu was not in a hurry to get out of trouble and asked: "What is under that mine, why is it worth doing this?"

The old lizard man replied: "This is a legend passed down from the mouth of our ancestors. It is an ominous seal. Once broken, a terrible disaster will happen. This is the rule set by the ancestors. No one can Violation, stop talking nonsense, and those who want to enter the forbidden area will have to die!"

Xiao Yu sneered and said, "Saving, I really thought I would be afraid of your magic? In my opinion, the seal has been damaged, and it will be a matter of time before it completely collapses. Why don't you just let us go, we just go back to the mine to get it. It’s just something, and I can help to scout the situation inside by the way.”

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

The old lizardman swung his staff vigorously and shouted: "The chat is over." He looked at Xiao Yu and the butcher, "Are people who are not related to you involved? Since you are colluding with the dwarves, why not Buried forever with the dwarves, die!"

A magical force poured into the sinking swamp, and the whole swamp was being stirred like a bucket of paste, and everyone sank faster.This magic is quite powerful. The black mud is very viscous like superglue, which makes people unable to use their strength. At the same time, the binding force is so strong that they cannot escape, and it even has a silent effect.

No wonder the old lizard talked so much nonsense before he did it, he was clearly delaying the time to completely subdue the three fourth-order people.

Tong Hammer's chin was submerged in the swamp, and he shouted with wide eyes, "It's not good!"

Xiao Yu put the saber into the ring, and tore off the bandage-like cloth wrapped around his left arm, revealing a distinctive arm.A large number of khaki marks like tattoos are deeply imprinted in the skin like spider webs, like cracks on the dry loess soil, which at first glance is a bit hideous and terrifying.

The lizardman old mage looked at the hand and frowned, "This arm..."

Before the lizard man could react, Xiao Yu quickly plunged his left hand into the magic swamp—desert!

(Sorry, there was a mistake earlier, the five people in the Wraith Tower should have five or six points of energy for eight hours, it has been revised, thanks to the lonely otaku for pointing it out!)
