Chapter 342: The Road to the Snow Peak (II)

The Giant Stone Tunnel is the safest passage to the top of the Ice Mountain. This passage has been guarded by the dwarves for a long time. They built a gate here to prevent the invasion of those evil races. But now, this place has completely changed into another look.

"Oh my god..."

Walking into the huge cave and looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was stunned.

There are dead bodies everywhere!

Gnolls, kobolds, goblins, goblins, all kinds of monster corpses are everywhere. It looks like they're having a big fight with the dwarves here. And these monsters obviously couldn't be the opponents of the dwarves, so they lay down on the ground here.

But Fangzheng is very clear that the matter is not that simple. During the search of him and the little angel, there is no life reaction nearby, and this in itself explains the problem.

The gate is still broken.

"Quick, just ahead!"

Jasmine was also nervous at the moment, holding the longbow in one hand, and galloping through the tunnel at high speed. Fangzheng and the others followed closely behind, following Jasmine all the way towards the inside. The deeper they went into the tunnel, the more corpses of monsters there were. When everyone turned the corner led by Jasmine, they finally saw the underground fortress built by the dwarves.

I have to admit that the dwarves' talent in architecture is indeed unmatched. The gate they built closed almost the entire megalithic tunnel. On both sides of the tunnel, there stood two huge statues of dwarven heroic guardians, and the tall city wall turned into an iron wall, sealing all the gaps here. Logically speaking, under the protection of such a thick and solid city wall, even if the dwarves don't come out to fight, just closing the city gate tightly is enough to make those monsters return without success.

But now, the fort has fallen.

"how so………"

Gazing dumbfoundedly at the fortress in front of her, Jasmine's eyes widened for a moment, not knowing what to say. In front of her, this dwarf fortress looked no different from usual, but the open gate and scattered The thick smoke and flames have already explained the ending of this fortress.

"This, this is impossible, even if the army of evil elves marches in, it is impossible to break through the gate of the dwarves so easily..."

Jasmine was not wrong in saying that. The dwarves had a tough physique and were extremely resistant to magic. Even the dark elves would find it difficult to harm them. Because more than half of the strength of the dark elves is in magic, and the magic resistance of the dwarves just restrains the magic of the dark elves. Of course, although the dark elves are also good at using poison, the physique of the dwarves—general poison is useless.

As a local resident here, Jasmine is of course very aware of the threat of the Ice Peak. The most dangerous people here are the dark elves and frost giants, but neither of these two groups has the power to break through the dwarves' protection so easily!

"Let's be careful and go in to see the situation."

Fangzheng raised his head, carefully looked at the dwarf gate in front of him, then frowned, and said in a low voice to the girls around him. Hearing Fang Zheng's order, the others also nodded, followed behind Fang Zheng, and cautiously approached the gate.

Since Fangzheng and Nimfu had already sensed that there was no life fluctuation inside the gate, they seemed relaxed, while the others were obviously not so relaxed. They moved their steps carefully while watching the city gate in front of them vigilantly. You must know that there is no shelter nearby. If the enemy is ambushing behind the city gate and intends to launch a surprise attack on them, then there is no place to hide!

"Big, everyone... There are no enemies here..."

But fortunately, they still have Katie, the stealthy miss, as the vanguard. With her investigation, everyone was relieved, and then walked into the captured gate.

If you look around, there are corpses everywhere.

However, unlike before, this time, besides the corpses of those monsters, there were also many corpses of dwarves.

"How is this possible? These monsters can kill Beard? How did they do it?"

Jasmine opened her eyes wide, looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief, and muttered to herself. Fang Zheng squatted down, carefully examined the bodies of these dwarves, and then shook his head.

"They were not killed in battle."

"Didn't... die in battle?"

Hearing this, other people quickly gathered around, while Fang Zheng nodded and pointed to the scar of one of the dwarves.

"Look, the dwarf's wounds are scattered, and there is no blood on his weapon, which means that he basically didn't resist, or... he was killed by those monsters without any reaction. Yes. Not only him, but the other dwarves too..."

As he spoke, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the corpses of the other dwarves beside him.

"Without any reaction?"

"That's right."

Having said this, Fangzheng raised his head and glanced at Jasmine.

"Does it feel familiar?"

"what do you mean…………"

When the elf girl heard Fang Zheng's question, her complexion instantly turned pale.

"Could it be that………"

"It seems that something is really wrong here."

Fang Zheng didn't directly explain, but he suspected that these dwarves also encountered the same thing as the elves. They probably also saw the black figure, and then fell into a coma. It's just that the dwarves didn't have the beauty of the elves, so they didn't have the treatment that the elves were caught by the goblins, but were directly killed by those monsters without mercy.

Thinking of this, Fangzheng sighed, then he stood up and looked at the girls around him with a serious expression.

"I have something to say."

Hearing Fangzheng's voice, the girls who were still checking around hurriedly raised their heads to look at Fangzheng now, and Fei Na even came to Fangzheng's side and stared at him curiously.

"What's the matter? Mr. Fangzheng?"

"Very important thing."

Hearing Fina's question, Fangzheng nodded, then he glanced at the girls again, and said.

"We need to decide whether to proceed with the commission."

"Hey?"

Facing this unexpected answer, everyone was stunned.

"Don't forget, we're not here just to take risks, this is actually just a graduation assessment."

As he spoke, Fangzheng spread his hands.

"But the current situation is obviously beyond the scope of a simple graduation assessment. More importantly, so far we have no clues about our entrustment, and right now, the situation on the ice and snow summit is very wrong. Even dwarves and elves have no clues. With the slightest resistance, it may be difficult for you alone to continue to support. So I want to ask, do you intend to continue? There may be dangers in the future, and most importantly, this trouble will be of great help to For you, it is very likely that the gain outweighs the loss.”

Fangzheng said that these are not unreasonable. After checking the dwarves, Fangzheng can be sure that these dwarves must have encountered a dragon. Because dwarves are almost immune to magic, it is difficult to be affected by any illusion or enchantment spells. Even the casters call these dwarves "stubborn like a rock". If Fang Zheng still doubted when he saw those elves before, then now, He was almost certain that the reason why these dwarves fell into a coma was because they encountered Long Wei head-on.

Because only this kind of thing that transcends spiritual power and completely relies on the unreasonable suppression of racial class can make the dwarves unable to bear it and pass out.

If Fangzheng did not guess wrong, it was very likely that it was an evil dragon. If this was the case, then it would be really risky to take these girls on an adventure.

"My opinion is that we give up this entrustment. You go back to the elf village to rest for a while. Jasmine, you'd better report this matter to the patriarch of the elf clan and let them make a decision. It's best to be able to contact the people here. The dwarves..."

That's right, Fangzheng planned to coax again.

Why do you have to do it yourself when you can call a large army to fight in groups?

But... At this time, suddenly, in Fangzheng's ear, the mission prompt sound that he was no longer familiar with appeared again.

"Ding."

"........."

Hearing this voice, Fangzheng knew that that bastard had made another move.
