Chapter 730: The Ruins of the Dwarven Kingdom (2)

An Yizhi rarely does things impulsively, and basically every action is deliberate, with the purpose and interests he wants to achieve in mind, but there are exceptions to 'rarely', such as this time......

He just wanted to vent his frustration, and the dark elf was shot while lying down.

It's no wonder that after traveling for more than ten hours in the oppressive dark region, he was almost beaten by Shammas City, and was ambushed by the dark elves, and the Buddha also has fire, not to mention that An Yizhi does not advocate overnight revenge.

In addition, you can gain some dwarven favorability, and the task of searching the ruins of the dwarf kingdom can not only be done once, An Yizhi estimates that he will stay in Ikasha City for a while, and it is necessary to have a good relationship with them, similar to the relationship with the Dawn Church in Amen City, which is simply not too comfortable.

Of course, there are as many reasons as there are to persuade others, and the biggest reason for An Yizhi is that he is just unhappy.

Leaving the deflated dark elves behind, everyone stepped into the deep tunnel, and could see that there were torches at intervals to provide the most basic lighting, which were set up when the dwarves first came in, because of the special grease used, this kind of torch is said to burn for half a month without changing.

The lighting is improvised, although it is dark, but it is not the level of not being able to see the road clearly, the brave invincible also comes with its own 'light bulb', and his night pearl that is like a treasure is finally in use, and this thing is as happy as that.

And it doesn't matter if it's apple tea or Gehr. Stone Fist has the ability to see in low-light environments, and the impact of visual field is not much of a problem for them.

The real problem is that the tunnel is a natural formation, and not long after it was opened, the dwarves didn't have time to rest the tunnel before they started fighting with the dark elves, which also caused the tunnel to be uneven and winding, and the space was sometimes large and sometimes small, which greatly reduced the speed of the people.

In the second half, An Yizhi could only exhale the dragon scales to protect himself, not because he was attacked, but because he couldn't bear his feet if he didn't think about a way......

Luckily, the road wasn't very long, and after about half an hour, everyone saw the light coming from the entrance of the cave, which lifted everyone's spirits and they quickened their pace towards the exit.

"it!"

The three players made a unified sound, and then hurriedly called out the screenshot function that comes with the system, and took a screenshot of the madness.

A huge, or incomparably large, underground cavity appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and its size was even more than the eye could reach, and if it weren't for reason telling him that this place was underground, An Yizhi would even think that he had returned to the surface unconsciously.

That size simply doesn't fit into the field of view, and it connects from one end of the field of view to the other, and it probably takes a panoramic camera to capture its entirety.

The roof of the cave is scattered with irregularly clustered glowing moss, and the colorful phosphorescence forms a magnificent 'cosmic background' like a nebula, which also provides the most basic illumination for the entire underground cavity.

Beneath the 'starry sky', you can see a mega-city that matches the underground cavity, a slender bridge connects to its gates, and below the bridge is a deep darkness that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

The city stands like an island in the middle of the sea, waiting for the day when it will come back to life, and it has been here for more than 10,000 years.

If An Yizhi were to finalize an adjective for the picture in front of him, it would be estimated that there would only be one word left for this thing.

Big.

He couldn't think of anything better than that.

"It's shocking, this is our dwarven kingdom."

Gehr carried the axe and said proudly.

It was indeed shocking, and An Yizhi felt that with this picture alone, it was not in vain that he dared to run to the dark area for more than ten hours.

But it would be even better if you could still get home with a full load.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The period of the prosperity of the dwarven kingdom coincided with the fall of the ancient elves.

Since the Elder Elves and Dragons played together, this gave the other mortal races a great opportunity to rise, and many races expanded rapidly during this period.

In fact, as early as the heyday of the Elder Elves, the dwarves had already established a highly civilized state, but they all lived in the dark regions, and the Elder Elves rarely interfered in this matter, so the two sides did not have much contact.

By the time the Elder Elves got rid of it, the dwarves in the Dark Regions expanded rapidly, mainly due to a miracle.

Since the ancient elves are dead, the gods see an opportunity to expand their influence, and Moradin, the main god of the dwarves, is also one of them. Driven by Moradin's divine power, the birth rate of dwarves skyrocketed during that period, and even almost caught up with the rate of human reproduction at one point.

It was at that time that the dwarves of the underground really prospered.

By the way, humans also occupied the surface of the land that originally belonged to the Elder Elves and Dragons during that period, although the humans were very weak, neither the strong physical abilities of the dwarves, nor the outstanding magic of the Elder Elves, let alone dragons, but humans and their ability to learn and reproduce quickly, when the dwarves completed their expansion, they were surprised to find that the surface had been occupied by humans.

But again, there are no contradictions and conflicts between the two sides, after all, they live in very different places, and the human beings at that time were not much higher than primitive people, and they were basically still in the Neolithic Age.

The dwarves prospered for about 2,000 to 4,000 years in this era, and later ......

The dwarven kingdom is gone.

No one has an accurate answer to how this happened, not even the current dwarves themselves, perhaps only the benthic demon fish that lives in the lowest layer of the dark region knows the whole picture.

According to Nikolai's information, the most plausible speculation is that there was a huge geological change in the Dark Regions, coupled with the rise of the Dark Elves, and the biggest reason, the Spirit-Sucking Monsters.

They arrived in the Dark Regions between 6000~8000 years ago, and as for where they came from, this is something that even the benthic devilfish don't know, and because they feed on their brains, the huge number of dwarven kingdoms is targeted by them.

This is why the Grey Dwarves were once enslaved by the Psitrons as coolies and food, and it is assumed that they were once remnants of the Dwarven Kingdom, and that hatred and pain had twisted them into what they are now when they were enslaved by the Spirits.

In general, the eight dwarven kingdoms fell apart, some of the dwarves were enslaved by the spirit-absorbing monsters, some fled to other parts of the dark region to re-establish cities, and the other went to the surface to mingle with humans, which is also the origin of the dwarven city of Cormoria.

Walking through the ancient ruins of 10,000 years ago, the vicissitudes of history slowly emerge with Hela's narration, but players are more concerned about what they can get, or what benefits they can get.

But they first have to cross the 'slender' bridge that connects the city.

It is said to be elongated, just for the city in contrast to the huge underground cavity, but in fact the bridge is wide enough for four carriages to travel side by side, and there is still a lot of room to spare.

Applecha was a little unconfident in the sturdiness of the bridge, he wasn't as able to fly as Ann Yizhi, nor could he summon Pegasus like Invincible, and if the bridge collapsed, he would only end up in free fall and eventually be smashed into applesauce.

Dwarf Gehr patted his chest and assured that the dwarven things would be fine even if it was another 10,000 years, and he didn't know if it was bragging.

The sturdiness of the bridge is really good, except for the part of the railing that was once made of metal, which has been rotted and weathered to a great extent, the other stone parts are nothing at all, and Anyichi is more concerned about what is below than worried about the bridge collapsing.

When you look down from the bridge, you can only see that it is pitch black, and the phosphorescence from the roof of the cave does not reach that far.

He lit a chemical lamp (from a grocery store) and threw it down, counting for about ten seconds before reaching the end, indicating that it was hundreds of meters high.

Gehr told them that there was originally an underground moat deliberately dug by the dwarves under the bridge, which once again refreshed Anyizhi's perception that dwarves like big things.

Nima's hundreds of meters deep underground river, you dwarfs really want to think of it!

As the distance closes, the once glorious dwarven city gradually becomes clear in the eyes of everyone.

Rocks and shadows, both deep and shallow, make up the city's main composition, and you can occasionally see decorations and frescoes that were once covered with gold leaf but have now lost their color.

The most conspicuous thing is the building that stands in the middle of the city, which can even reach the top of the cave, and at the very top, the glowing moss is almost within reach.

Not only is it tall, but it is also very large, and the royal city of Makasha City is not even a half-old child in front of it, but only a baby.

It was supposed to be either a palace or a temple, but Gehr said he hadn't been there, so he didn't know what it was for.

Crossing the bridge safely and soundly, you can't come with a tourist-like attitude at this time.

It's true that this city has been closed for a long time, but that doesn't mean there are no monsters inside.

Underground, the level of negative energy is already very high, especially in the dark areas, but usually the corpse will be eaten by nearby animals before it becomes undead, after all, the competition here is fierce.

And when the corpse is in a relatively closed environment, the probability of turning into an undead is almost 100%, and due to the high level of negative energy, the level of the undead here is certainly not too low.

There are also some monsters that often appear underground, and they either dig their own holes here, or they stumble upon them and use this place as a shelter.

In addition, the players who helped the Dark Elves also wandered the ruins, and they were also a threat to the players who helped the Dwarves, as the Dark Elves offered a bonus and there was a reward for killing the Dwarves.

All in all, this ruin is far from being as peaceful as it seems, and it is the reality that there is a lot of danger in the dark.

When Ann and the four of them walked into an intersection in the city, they saw the corpse of a dwarf in the middle of the road, the wound was fresh, and he seemed to have been dead for only a few hours.

"A Stonefist dwarf."

Gehr approached and said in a silent tone:

"I know him, and although we don't know him very well, he is also my people, and I even remember some of his past...... Hey, why am I talking about this, he fought to the end as a dwarf of Stonefist, and I was still sad like a, which is an insult to my brother. ”

He knelt before the corpse and closed his dead eyes:

"Rest in peace, brother, Moradin is above, and your enemies will pay."

At that moment, An Yizhi's peeping eye hovering above his head noticed movement:

"There's someone nearby, and the body in the middle of the road should be a trap."

Everyone was ready for battle, and Gehr. Shi Fist Huo stood up with a thud and said loudly in the thick nail piece:

"Let them come! There's also a Stonefist dwarf alive here! ”

He roared, ready to slash the axe at the dark elf's skull at any moment.
