Chapter 998 Dwarven Camp

Joan saw no acquaintances in the camp, so he asked the dwarf foreman if he recognized his old friend Klein Stove.

"Of course I do, we are all fellow villagers!"

"This green ice mine was first discovered by Mr. Klein's prospecting team. Later, he sold the mining rights to the company and made a lot of money, so he went to other places to continue prospecting."

"It's a pity that our prospecting technology can't meet Mr. Klein's requirements, otherwise we would have followed him to make a lot of money!"

shouted the dwarves.

Holden winked at Joan, and asked in a low voice: "Is there any 'crab blood wine'? If you have one, take out a bottle and treat the dwarves to have a drink. The condom is close, and I have to ask them for help later." .”

Qiao An didn't know much about the world, but after being reminded by Mr. Poet, he immediately understood his intentions. He quickly opened the storage bag and took out a bottle of crab blood wine.

Holden took the bottle and just pulled out the cork, the strong smell that choked the nose immediately attracted the dwarves, all of them stared at the bottle with wide eyes, swallowing their saliva fiercely.

"Dwarf brothers, to be honest, the four of us are old friends of Mr. Klein, and we once assisted him in exploring the Qingbing Mine."

"We returned to the Nida Mountains this time to visit a friend who lives in the nearby blood tundra. If someone is willing to help us guide the way, I will invite this kind person to have a glass of hot crab blood wine."

Before Holden finished his sentence, all the 20 or so dwarves raised their hands in a "swish", and some raised their hands eagerly.

"Come on! Friends, everyone has a share, one drink per person, get up!"

Holden gave a bottle of crab blood wine to the dwarven miners in exchange for a generous reward.

According to the information provided by the dwarves, the road conditions along the way from the mining area to the blood tundra are not very good.

First of all, it is necessary to cross a rugged and deep umbilicus, and the exit of the umbilicus is located in the "Mugman Field".

This dark wilderness has been home to a strange creature called "fungus man" since ancient times.

This creature, which looks like a giant human-shaped mushroom, can run around like a living thing, has intelligence, and can even communicate with intelligent creatures, including humans, by emitting supernatural spores.

The mushroom people community is very conservative and hates all outsiders. Even if travelers just pass by their homes, they will be regarded as invaders by this group of neurotic mushroom people, and it is difficult not to have conflicts.

This group of mushroom people is not easy to mess with. They emit all kinds of weird spores, some of which are terrible and highly poisonous!

If travelers don't take precautions, they basically don't expect to leave the mushroom man field alive after being poisoned.

The dwarves also told a frightening legend.

It is said that even the bones of the creatures killed by the mushroom man will not be peaceful. They may be transformed into zombie-like puppets by the mysterious king of the mushroom man using secret techniques, and they will be controlled by them and act as thugs.

Of course, what the dwarf drunk said could only be trusted three times at most, and there was still a question mark about whether it was true.

Mr. Poet opened the way with a bottle of crab blood wine, and quickly became one with the dwarves, not only obtained a lot of valuable information from them, but also borrowed four ground lizards and four sets of gas masks.

Everyone took a set of gas masks, rode on the ground lizard, waved goodbye to the enthusiastic dwarf friends, and continued to advance towards the hinterland of the dark mountain.

After riding for two hours, Joan and the others were deep in the valley and found the entrance of the "earth navel" that the dwarves called.

From the outside, the umbilicus is quite spacious, allowing four people to ride side by side. However, as it goes deeper into the umbilicus, the tunnel in front gradually becomes rugged, and the narrowest area can barely accommodate one person.

Brothers Joan, Hailar, and Zion had to jump off their mounts, lead the ground lizard, and file forward in the deep and winding tunnel.

In such an environment, it is easy to be attacked by monsters lurking in the dark.

For example, the "lock-throat monster" that Joan and the others met during their last expedition would often hide in the dark of the tunnel and attack passing travelers unexpectedly.

For the sake of safety, Qiao An performed the "Mosquito Finger Technique" ring 1, and the little finger of his left hand fell off, turning into a blood mosquito and flying into the air.

Joan telepathically ordered the blood mosquito to fly to the front of the team to explore the way, and at the same time raised his hand to touch his right eye to activate "dark vision".

The blood mosquito transformed into the little finger shared the senses with Joan's body.

When Joan blesses "dark vision", the blood mosquito will simultaneously gain the vision to penetrate the darkness. Coupled with the natural keen sense of smell of dipteran mosquitoes, the tiny body is not suitable for people to notice. It is most suitable for this kind of dark and tortuous environment Serve as scouts for pathfinders in underground tunnels.

The blood mosquito led the way, and Joan, Hailar, and Zion followed closely behind, leading the ground lizard. They walked hard for another hour in the narrow tunnel, and the terrain in front finally became open again. The subterranean vault appears at the end of the navel.

The group of four had been driving for a long time, and they were exhausted at this time, so they stopped in the center of the cave to rest their feet, drink water and eat dry food along the way, and recharge their spirits before going on the road.

Joan placed the "campfire rosary" on a flat stone slab, chanted a spell to ignite the bonfire, sat on the ground by the fire, took out the "navigation compass", and checked the location of the expedition team at the moment.

The navigation compass automatically surveys and maps the surrounding 30-mile terrain environment, and presents it in the form of a three-dimensional image.

By observing the map, Joan found that he and his companions had reached the end of the umbilicus, there was no road ahead, and the only exit was above their heads.

That's right, next they can only climb up the steep rock wall until they reach the dome of the grotto. After climbing over a stone beam, they can see the exit of the navel. After going out, they will step into a place with higher ground The flat area, the so-called "Mugman Field" - the junction of the known underground world "Area 6" and "Area 2".

If you use the geographical features of the surface world as an analogy, Qiao An and the others are like being in a basin at the moment, while the "Fungus Man Field" is a vast plateau with a vertical drop of nearly a thousand yards. Only experienced rock climbers dare to challenge this The road lay across the steep rock wall in front of everyone.

Fortunately, Joan and the others are all spellcasters. Using flying spells, it is not difficult to climb a thousand yards of cliffs.

As for their mounts, there is no need to worry, these large lizards have suckers on the soles of their feet, and they can fly over the walls like walking on flat ground.

Joan put away the "Navigation Compass", stuffed the remaining dried bread into his mouth, and took two big sips of water before swallowing the dry food.

Hailaer and Zion siblings also finished their dry food, regained their strength, and got up one after another, ready to go on the road.

At this moment, Qiao An suddenly felt a palpitation, and quickly got a telepathy with the blood mosquito.
