Mercenaries and Adventurers

Within the range illuminated by the self-luminous light of various elf gems, a bunch of bloated and tall fat-headed mushrooms are crowding close to each other at the bottom of the entire hall.

And on the several long flower beds that Kiel remembered, the tallest fat-headed mushrooms occupied the soil in those cherished flower beds. Several of them stretched out their white and fat mushroom arms to each other, and continued to push away other fat-headed mushrooms that wanted to squeeze up to eat the soil.

Skipping over the large mushrooms all over the place, Kiel saw a tall stone statue standing against the wall on one side of the hall. In the hand of that stone statue, he was leaning on a stone sword several meters long.

The stone sword looks completely like a sculpture. In fact, he was deceived by this disguise when he was exploring the ruins before. Without Ms. Apolfina's explanation, he had no idea that this thing turned out to be a A elven magic weapon that controls battle.

Now, the weapon has seen it, but how should he get there?

Those fat-headed mushrooms seemed to be afraid of the elf gem in Kiel's hand, and it seemed that they could squeeze through it. But the entire bottom of the hall was already crowded with these fat-headed mushrooms, and the mushrooms next to each other seemed to have no place to move.

Keir had a bitter face, but he still had to give it a try. After all, the werewolf was chasing after him, and he had no time to waste.

"Go away! Go away!" Kiel yelled, regardless of whether these inexplicable mushrooms could understand the common language of human beings, he raised the wooden box in his hand and pointed towards the fat mushroom. walk in the pile.

Mushrooms really didn't like elf gems. When Kiel approached them, these chubby big men made creaking noises from somewhere on their bodies, and frantically waved their arm mushrooms, trying to stay away from Kiel.

But there was no place for them to escape, and the mushrooms surrounding Kiel were bounced back after a little distance.

"Hey hey hey, don't squeeze me! Don't squeeze me!" Kiel yelled loudly, and the panicked mushroom arms of the mushrooms slapped on his armor, making a puffing sound, which was not powerful, but very Affects Kiel movement.

The floor of the hall is cleaner than a dog has licked it. The previous stagnant water, some scattered dust, and bat feces have disappeared. It seems that it has been licked clean by the hyphae growing on the feet of those fat-headed mushrooms.

Keel was pushed by the fat-headed mushrooms on the front, back, left, and right, so he had to use all his strength to push the mushrooms away from the left and right to give him a way forward.

He threw his legs and kicked behind him frequently, trying to kick the mushroom behind him to the stairs he had come down before.

But the mushrooms don't seem to like to get close to the stairs, they seem to be particularly afraid of the stone door with the seal. I don't know if I'm afraid of the magic seal, or the monster behind the stone gate?

Keel turned sideways and squeezed past the fat-headed mushrooms one after another. Those fat-headed mushrooms were very panicked when they approached him.

"Sorry, go away! Taste my fist. Move away! I'm so sorry! Get out of the way!"

He was talking nonsense, pushing and squeezing finally came to the side of the hall, at the foot of the stone statue.

Behind him, many fat-headed mushrooms were punched by him, but these timid guys didn't seem to know how to fight back. They just took advantage of their stature, which was one meter taller than Kiel, to take advantage of Kiel's approach. When the time comes, extend the mushroom canopy on the head to the top of Kiel's head, and then take the opportunity to shake the canopy.

That's enough for them, even if Keel rewards them with a few punches to beat them back.

Keir felt strange, and when he wiped it on his head, he found that there were some small white spots visible to the naked eye in the palm of the hard cowhide. As soon as he guessed, he knew that it must be the spores of mushrooms.

These guys actually took the opportunity to drop the spores on him, as if they wanted Kiel to take the spores out of the elf ruins.

Although he felt it was inappropriate, Keir didn't have the time to care about it. He didn't finish at the foot of the stone statue. How to put the elf gem into the filling groove of the stone sword hilt was still a problem.

He had to climb up.

With no choice but to pour out the elf gems from the wooden box, they stuffed them one by one into the pockets on his body that could hold them.

Especially in the hood of the wolf-fur cloak, Kiel poured more than half of the gems into it. In this way, he can carry the gems on his body and get them quickly, and it can also provide him with the only one in the dull and dark ruins hall. Lighting source.

Kiel supported the body of the stone sword with one hand, and the legs of the stone statue of Ms. Apolfina's father with the other, propping up his body left and right, and climbed up bit by bit.

-

Wolf the Werewolf found a crack in the inner wall of the petrified tree stump that Keel might climb down. He carefully climbed down bit by bit with the soles of his hands and feet. Keep your body balanced in the air.

When it was four or five meters above the ground, it judged that the ground should be solid, so it let go of its hands and feet, and jumped directly from midair.

Boom.

As it expected, the ground was solid, and it seemed a bit too solid. The anti-shock force from the soles of the feet is not weak. Fortunately, it has thick pads on the soles of the feet to cushion the impact.

But when it habitually sniffed it with its nose, its expression changed instantly.

It bent down and waved its palms to sweep away the snow on the ground, and then picked up a little bit from the off-white ground that resembled hardened mud.

After a little sniffing, it figured out what it was under its feet.

This petrified stump, which is as big as a palace hall, has a hollow inside, which was originally filled with the dry and hard feces of some kind of animal.

It can't guess what kind of animal feces it is, but it obviously wants to fill the entire interior like this, and it may take a long, long time to do it.

And it stomped, and it was strange that the ground was so hard.

It has also been to some wolf dens, and those beasts that excrete everywhere, even if it is a wolf den that has been around for a long time, and the ground is covered with feces, the touch of the ground is not the same.

The ground is more powdery, which is formed by the ground being crushed by the wolves coming and going.

But the feeling under its feet was not quite right, more like the foundation that was tamped down by villagers with large wooden stakes when building a house.

strangeness?

But soon, Worf the werewolf shook his head, stopped thinking about these things, and ran quickly to the bottom of the cave in mid-air opposite. After speeding up and running over, it stretched out its sharp claws on the soles of its legs and feet, and then ran towards the wall without slowing down.

When it got close to the wall, it changed direction and ran up against the wall.

The sharp claws on the soles of the feet made a friction sound against the inner wall of the petrified tree stump, but at the same time, the force brought made it directly step on the wall and quickly climbed up.

Finally, it stretched out its arms to grab the edge of the suspended cave, and then it used this to lift itself up.

Patting the snow and ground dust on his hair, the werewolf Wolf looked at the obviously artificially built passage in front of him, which was pitch black and gradually slanted downward. The wolf's face showed an extremely cautious look.

"Could it be a trap?" It stuck out its tongue and licked its teeth, talking to itself.

But when it comes to this, there is no reason to back down, right?

Whether it's Kiel or it, both of them have reasons for wanting each other to die.

Clang, its hands trembled, and ten strong claws of different lengths stretched out from the palms. The sharp claws on the soles of his feet when he climbed up before were not retracted. Just like that, the werewolf Worf, who was ready for battle, walked cautiously and slowly into the dark passage.

There is a solid stone ground under the feet, and the wall next to it is also stone, but it is full of potholes, as if it has been destroyed by someone. As it gradually walked in, the pupils of a pair of animal eyes opened, hoping to see more clearly.

The light scattered from the cave door behind it can barely make it see the surrounding things clearly.

There is nothing around, just a straight passage.

Except for a pedestal for lighting on the walls on both sides every once in a while, the place is clean and there is nothing.

It moved to the side of the pedestal where the lighting object was placed, and slightly picked up the oil lamp placed on it. There is still a small amount of residual oil in it, which is obviously the lighting that Keel once left here.

It's a pity that it is clean and smooth at this time, and it doesn't bring anything to light the fire.

So I can only keep this thing at my feet.

Continue to move forward, and after advancing more than ten meters, the passage has come to an end.

A tall stone gate blocked the way.

At this time, the light here was already very weak, and Worf could barely see some patterns and patterns on the stone gate. But there was no lighting object at hand, and it couldn't see exactly what was engraved on it.

Gently caressing the patterns on the stone gate with the palm of his hand, it can barely tell that this thing is obviously from a long time ago.

There was a slight push on the door, but no push. Then moved obliquely to the side passage, but it was easily opened.

As it pushed hard, the ground made a smooth moving friction sound.

But before all the doors were opened, Wolf the Werewolf left behind a stone door that was about the same size as it.

"What!" Although it couldn't be seen clearly, no matter what it was, it kicked it first.

puff.

With a kick, there was a springy touch on the sole of the foot, but the werewolf was not careless, he rushed in through the gap in the half-open stone door, and directly stabbed the fallen opponent with both palms.

Then the left and right arms pulled in opposite directions, and the sharp claws and powerful arms directly disemboweled the 'opponent'.

But it was a little strange, although the other party did utter a "chirp!" cry, but the feeling of his hands was not quite right.

Not caring much, it opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit directly towards the place where the opponent made the sound. But as soon as the mouth fell, something was wrong.

"Bah bah bah! What is it?" The 'opponent' under him stopped screaming after being hit, but the slapping of a pair of thick arms did not stop. Wolf the werewolf clawed one by one, and easily tore off the opponent's 'arm' directly.

At this point, no matter how careless it is, it still feels wrong.

Standing up and getting out of the way slightly, with the help of a little bit of light coming in from behind, it finally saw clearly what its opponent was.

With a chubby body, an elastic and soft body, and two white arms that can move but not have much strength, this is actually a big, fat mushroom that looks like a human being!

"What's the matter? Why are you seeing these things all the time recently!" It was full of doubts, and then it yelled loudly: "Kiel! Get out of here! If this is what you rely on, then you are dead today .”

"Even if you can be resurrected, you have to die honestly. Did you hear that? Come out and fight!"

But as soon as it finished speaking, it attracted the attention of some bats that hadn't hibernated. Those bats flew towards it, whirled around it quickly, and chirped softly.

The werewolf waved its claws irritably, tearing the little bats flying around it into several pieces, and then continued to walk towards the inside of the passage.

-

"—Come out and fight!"

Kiel was sitting on the arm of the statue, tapping on the hilt of the stone sword, looking for the entrance to the mechanism above. Then the werewolf shouts were heard from the upper passage of the hall.

He snorted disdainfully, didn't respond, just concentrated on pulling the end of the huge sword hilt.

As he pulled harder, the part gradually began to loosen.

-

The werewolf Worf didn't take a few steps before he smelled the smell of the mushroom man he killed just now. It was already very dark here, even though its eyes could see in the dark with the dim light, but the light was too weak, it couldn't Impossible to see things.

Fortunately, its sense of smell is as sensitive as its physical sense. As soon as it smelled the umami of mushrooms, it immediately swung its claws and struck out a claw. With a puff, the thing in the darkness in front of it was scratched with a large wound.

With one kick, the mushroom man in front was kicked over. The werewolf grabbed one end of the wound with one hand, then grabbed back with the other hand, and then pulled back, directly tearing the whole mushroom man apart.

Shaking the slime off his hands, the werewolf pounced on another guy who was approaching him.

Throwing it to the ground, it opened its mouth and bit wildly for a while, directly tearing the upper body of the mushroom man blocking the way into pieces.

It stood up and shouted to the surroundings like a demonstration: "Huh? These weak things that are not as good as a dog are trying to block me? Keel, are you out of your head? Hahaha, I don't care what you have What plans, but I can tell you, none of this works! It doesn't work!"

After that, it killed several fat-headed mushrooms one after another, and strode inward along the passage. When I got here, the surroundings were dark, except for the colorful light that appeared slightly in front of me.

It just killed a lot of mushroom people. It is not sure whether those guys just now are Kiel's subordinates, but if they dare to block its way, it will be torn to pieces.

Its footsteps echoed in the stone passage, but when it suddenly heard the echo of the footsteps suddenly changed, it immediately stopped cautiously.

"Well."

It just wanted to speak, but was startled by the echo of the "uh."

The surroundings suddenly became empty.

There was a colorful light shining from the lower part of the front, and when it looked down, it was startled.

One of its feet was already half in the air. Just in front of it is a huge hollow space stretching tens of meters. And there are no blocking measures in front of him.

It almost died just now.

The werewolf Worf shuddered, and slowly withdrew his feet. Feeling unsafe, it squatted down, and then looked around with the light from below.

A huge underground artificial space. Although I don't know what it is for, it is obvious that Kiel knows this place and wants to use it to make a comeback.

Overhead, it intuitively knows that there may be thousands of bats hanging over the winter. If this is a natural cave, it might think it is a special bat cave, but it is obviously artificially built.

So it doesn't know what it's doing here.

Gere might know, just catch him later and ask him.

The werewolf looked left and right, and with the light from below, it saw that the left side was also empty, while on the right, there seemed to be a downward staircase.

In order to prevent the fall, the werewolf climbed towards the stairs on all hands and feet. It moved quickly, and while climbing the stairs full of slimy mycelium, it turned its head to look at the only place where the light shone in the cave.

Sure enough, it was Keel.

There are different colors of light emitting from all over Keel's body. It saw what Kiel seemed to be doing on top of a huge stone statue, but couldn't figure it out.

"What are you doing, Kiel? Don't make unnecessary struggles, why don't you just die obediently?"

The werewolf crawled down the downward spiral staircase, which it noticed had open stone doors leading to other rooms, but it had no time to pay attention to those now.

Go down, stop Kiel's actions, and then kill him is what it needs to do at this time. Worf is very clear on this point. Although I can't understand what Kiel is doing, it is obviously not for its good, so stop Kiel and kill him again.

-

Keir glanced at the werewolf who was running down the stairs, but he didn't pay attention to the werewolf at all, and the movements of his hands accelerated a little.

The end of the hilt of the gigantic stone sword had already been unscrewed by him with great effort. Unexpectedly, it was full of dry seeds, which were holding up the filling space inside the hilt, and Kiel had to use his hands to scoop out these dry, flat seeds that were obviously useless.

Then, one by one, he put the luminous elf gems on his body into the space of the hilt.

The more you let it go, the more dim the light around him becomes.

The werewolf, crawling down the stairs, seemed disturbed, uttering wild words to stop him, and promises that no one would believe.

Hearing this, Keir shook his head without saying a word, and directly put the remaining elf gems in the hood of the cloak behind his head into the hilt of the stone sword.

The last light in the surroundings is only a little colorful light from the hilt of the sword.

With the wolfman's warning roar, Kiel put the stone cap on the end of the hilt.

Darkness once again filled the elf ruins deep underground.

-

"No! What are you doing? Stop it!"

Worf the werewolf roared.

But with Kiel's firm movements, the last ray of light still disappeared.

It had a little bit of caution and hesitation in its heart, is it the best move to go back the same way at this time?

But its body went up a little faster than its consciousness. It crawled down the spiral staircase, gradually accelerating all the way. When it rushed to the end of the stairs, it happened to be the time when the last ray of light disappeared.

But its body didn't stop, and it rushed towards Kiel directly.

Unfortunately, it didn't expect the bottom here to be filled with the mushroom men it had killed before. Those guys are tall and bloated, completely blocking its route.

As soon as it jumped out, it directly bumped into a mushroom man in the dark, "Get in the way!" It tore up the mushroom man blocking the way a few times, but then more mushroom men screamed, swarm towards it.

"It's useless! It's useless! It's useless! I'll die!"

It roared wildly, tearing and scratching every mushroom man in its way.

Because at the height of the stone statue in front of it, Kiel's voice gradually sounded in the darkness.

That was not the voice of the Common Tongue commonly used by the people of the Imperium of Man, an unknown language.

It makes it feel like disaster is imminent, that something bad is about to happen.

"￥#@￥@#@￥@!" Keel's voice sounded.

While nothing was happening around it, it felt very disturbed.

"￥#@￥@#@￥@!"

Once again, Kiel yelled out the unknown language.

And when the voice fell this time, the dark hall of the ruins gradually brightened up.

The light source comes from a luminous stone sword several meters high. The huge sword body is covered with unknown characters that emit colorful rays of light.

And Kiel also felt the difference. As he yelled the Elvish language taught to him by Ms. Apolfina for the second time, the huge stone sword in front of him not only emitted a magical light, but also when the hilt touched the palm of the stone statue, There was a slight rubbing sound.

"￥#@￥@#@￥@!"

Kiel shouted this elf language for the third time. Although he didn't know the meaning of this sentence, as the third time the words fell, something was suddenly connected in his mind.

It's so strange, this special feeling ~www.readwn.com~ is like someone opened a window on the head, and it doesn't hurt to directly contact one's brain with the outside world.

And his consciousness seemed to have grown an extra pair of hands, protruding from his mind, and holding it directly and illusoryly on the huge hilt of the stone sword.

A miraculous scene happened. The stone statue where Kiel was sitting opened his hands to the left and right, and he no longer held the huge stone sword in his hand. It was several meters long and weighed a huge stone sword, and it flew upwards slightly. More than ten centimeters, the entire sword left its base that had been standing for tens of thousands of years, and under the unknown driving ability inside, and under the control of Kiel's "brain hole", it directly floated in the air.

Worf the werewolf watched all this with squinted eyes, and whispered subconsciously: "How is it possible? No, no."

Because its intuition is calling the police, and its subconscious has already foreseen its imminent failure and death.

Its intuition told itself to escape from here, taking advantage of Kiel's lack of proficiency in this weapon that seemed impossible to fight against, and taking advantage of the light from the other party, to return directly the same way.

But its body told it to rush up! dash forward! Take this opportunity to rush up! As long as Kiel is killed, everything will be saved, including himself.

At this moment, it hesitated for a moment.

Immediately there was no chance. Because as Kiel was panting excitedly, he pointed at the werewolf, and the magic stone sword, which was several meters long and weighed at least in tons, floated in the air, spun and fixed in the air, and then lifted it up like an invisible giant, A sword fell.

"No!!!"

The werewolf tried to evade, but there were mushroom men in the way, so it had no choice but to raise its arms high at that moment, and use the werewolf body it had always trusted to resist this fatal sword.
