The narrow, winding passage is dim and long.

The semi-natural formation of the original scenery is gone, replaced by artificial smooth walls and stone steps, and the entire passage is a little short, and Anne and Rhodes can almost look up and see the cobwebs hanging from the top of the passage, it is clear that this is not a passage built for humans.

The mercenaries didn't care who built the passage or what it was for, they just looked around intently, dealing with the threats that were likely to arise. In this kind of underground with a long history, God knows that there are some ghosts in the road, so it's better to be careful. But Rhodes didn't slow down, if he remembered correctly, there were only hordes of goblins who could pose some threat to them within this underground passage, and there was little else to stand in their way.

He could feel the gaze behind him, it was from the old council leader, and there was surprise, confusion, and even a hint of vigilance and hostility in his gaze, which was very inconspicuous, but extremely intense. And Rhodes knew exactly where this hostility came from.

As a region caught in the middle of a crack, the Solagang Mountains have not always been at ease, and it has many "historical problems", one of which is also the main historical issue is the ownership of the Solagang Mountains. Although logically speaking, the current Soragon Mountains are ruled by humans. But a long, long time ago, the dwarves claimed ownership of the Soragon Mountains. According to the stubborn dwarves, the Soragon Mountains were first excavated and found by the dwarves' ancestors. Humans have since infiltrated them, and have seized ownership of the Soragon Mountains by virtue of their numbers. They have violated the sacred covenant they made when the original humans sought refuge from the dwarves, and as such they want to reclaim ownership of the Soragon Mountains.

This is certainly not good news for the Soragon Mountain Council, who also denied the dwarven accusations, and claimed that the Soragon Mountains were originally discovered by dwarves and humans, and built side by side hand with each other, because many of the buildings in the Soragon Mountains are indeed very dwarven in the architectural style. Even the Mithril Hall, which the Solagon Mountain Council used for important meetings, was entirely the work of the dwarves, so the Soragon Mountain Council did not deny that the dwarves were involved in the construction of this place, but they couldn't accept that the dwarves were the discoverers of this place——— they couldn't accept it.

More than a few hundred years have passed since the dispute between dwarves and humans began, and dwarves live a long life, so there are many ancient records and materials among them, but humans do not believe it. After all, after so many years, human beings have changed for several generations. The people who discovered and built the Solagang Mountains in the previous knowledge have basically died. They also only listened to the word of mouth of their parents, and believed that the Soragon Mountains were discovered by humans and dwarves together, and because of this, the Soragon Mountains were dissatisfied with the dwarves who were so desperate for them, and they thought that these dwarves were ignorant and whimsical. Besides, hundreds of years have passed. Why are you still clinging to what happened back then?

But dwarves are different, because of the long life, for dwarves for hundreds of years of time concept is completely different from humans, so in the eyes of dwarves, these humans are cunning and despicable, not keeping promises, how long has it been, just wipe their faces, wipe their faces, and wipe them clean, and they want to admit it, where is there such a cheap thing. What's more, dwarves are very stubborn by nature. So don't say hundreds of years, even if it's thousands of years, as long as the two sides don't die, then this dispute is likely to continue.

The dispute between the two sides was even sent to the Dragon Kingdom of Light, the Dragon Kingdom of Night and the Dragon Kingdom of Judgment for a time, but for this complex historical legacy issue, neither the Dragon of Darkness nor the Dragon of Light seemed to be willing to intervene, and the Twin Dragons of Trial and Sanction had said that they would investigate this, but there was no follow-up. After all, for the Night Dragon Kingdom and the Light Dragon Kingdom, they would rather be with humans with smooth nature. Instead of dealing with dwarves who don't say the same. Therefore, the dispute over the ownership of this area is under the silence of the three major powers, consciously or unconsciously. The period was extended indefinitely.

Looking at the pitch-black figure at this moment, the old council leader's heart was not at all calm.

Although he is old, he is not deaf or blind, as a person who has been living in the mountains of Solagang, of course, he can easily see that the secret passage in front of him is not a human architectural style, from the height, to the treatment of the steps and the use of the natural environment, this is not a level that human beings can do. Only those dwarves who have lived next to stones for many years, and who are stubborn like stones, have this ability. This made the old council president even more secretly worried about Rod's identity, you must know that Lu Dao even himself never knew that Lu Dao had such a secret passage outside the mountain territory of Solagang, and from the winding situation of this road, it is not so simple——— so how did this person know about this road? What does he have to do with dwarves?

"Kara."

Just as the old council leader was pondering, a slight sound suddenly sounded. Then, several dark shadows jumped out from the side, chirping in a language that no one understood, and rushed towards the crowd with the wooden sticks in their hands. Under the gaze of the firelight, their small bodies, shriveled and stiff skin, and small eyes with evil eyes could be clearly seen.........

"It's a goblin!!"

The perennial adventurous mercenaries are naturally no stranger to these evil races who like to parasitize the ruins like maggots, and they draw their weapons while shouting, and at this time, the elite side of these mercenaries is also fully displayed.

Victor's mercenaries first protected the old council leader and his party, they raised their shields to form a row of human walls, and the thieves scattered around the team under the leadership of Joey also paused immediately after seeing these goblins, and then moved quickly, closing in the middle, and they took out their throwing knives and crossbows from their waists neatly with their hands and feet, and shot at the little monsters who screamed and pounced from the darkness.

After a volley, the goblins who screamed and pounced immediately fell to pieces, and Marlene and Lijie were not idle, they were busy protecting the mercenaries. One unleashed a wall of fire in the goblins' path, blocking their attack. The goblins, after being blocked by the wall of fire, let out a few wails, but they did not retreat, perhaps because they had not seen their prey for a long time, and these cunning, evil and weak monsters still surrounded them and did not disperse.

"Keep going!!"

Rod didn't speak. But he made his position clear with his movements, and Victor looked at Rhodes, who strode forward without pausing at all because of the sudden attack of the goblin, and then immediately waved the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly.

"We don't have time here to play hide-and-seek with those damn goblins right now, hurry up. Come on!! Frank, make sure those evil bastards stay away from us!! ”

The originally quiet tunnel was now filled with all kinds of chaotic sounds, and Rhodes still walked in the front, his eyes piercing the darkness, looking forward, looking for the one he needed in the complicated, winding road.........

The wind was loud.

A snow-white spider silk shot down from above, forming a large web that shrouded Rhodes. Rhodes didn't move, his hands turned slightly, and soon, the staggered sword light cut through the cobweb, but at this moment, a spider a full three meters in size swooped down from above, it waved its claws, and kept making a soul-stirring hissing sound, and opened its mouthparts wide. With a fishy smell. The vicious venom pounced on Rod.

Rod's figure shook slightly.

At the moment when the huge spider pounced on him, Rod's figure suddenly split in two. Then in the blink of an eye, it disappeared under the attack of the giant spider, and the giant spider that missed the blow immediately raised its head, it opened its mouth, as if it wanted to do something, and at this time, its huge body shook suddenly, and then it seemed to be split in two by an invisible giant blade from the middle, and then fell heavily to the ground, and the smelly venom instantly spilled on the ground, but soon, with the gesture made by Marlene, an icy cold wind blew quickly from the ground, Freeze the venom and the corpses of the giant spiders completely.

But that didn't stop the evil creatures that inhabit the underworld.

“………………！！”

Screams of all kinds began to sound from all directions, wafting back and forth in the deep underground passages, and it was even unclear from which direction they were coming from. At this time, Victor didn't care about any politeness, he grabbed the old council president in one hand, and followed closely behind Rod with a long sword in the other, his eyes looked at the somewhat blurred figure in the dim passage without blinking, Rod didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and he didn't either. Those damn monster Victor didn't pay attention either, and now there were fewer and fewer people around them. Victor's men were ordered by him to break off the rear to prevent the monsters from rushing from behind to threaten him. Joey and the others wandered around, trying to fend off the goblins who had jumped out of the cracks in the rocks or through the dark holes beside them, clearing a way for the old council leader and the others. Until now, only Lijie remained, Marlene and Anne were still by their side to protect them, and Seven Love had already gone to the rear at Rhode's signal during the first battle——— after all, even if she wore a mask, she couldn't hide her unique features. To be on the safe side, Rhodes didn't plan to let her go with him.

The twin swords in his hands shone again.

Rhodes turned his head slightly, and then the short sword in his left hand pierced into the head of a goblin without any pause, and then quickly withdrew, and at the same time his right hand was raised high, and he threw it hard, and soon, a sword light like a crescent moon burst out from Gresil's body, slashing forward, and in the face of this terrible and dangerous attack, the goblins let out a panicked cry, they scattered like rats, but they did not give up the attack, and soon, There were some stones, sticks, and something like that, and they threw it at Rhodes again.

It's annoying.

In the face of these not very threatening, but quite annoying attacks, Rhodes couldn't help frowning slightly, in fact, if you use summoning elves, then these low-level monsters in front of you will probably be killed in the blink of an eye. But Rhodes couldn't do this, after all, the summoned creature had almost become an existence similar to his business card, and if he used the summoning spirit in front of the old council chief and others at this moment, then he would undoubtedly tell the other party his true identity directly. So Rhodes has decided, unless it is a last resort. This time, you won't be summoning elven cards to help. What's more, even without the help of elven cards, with the help of Gresil and Madaras in his current hands, Rhodes may not be without the power to fight.

"Humph!!"

Rhodes staggered his swords and once again blocked the opponent's attack, and then he snorted coldly. This is also where players are most annoyed by low-level monsters, and the reason why they are reluctant to play low-level dungeons is also here, sometimes the difference between the two sides is dozens of levels. You don't get any experience for killing these mobs, but these low-IQ creatures still rush at the player relentlessly, causing them trouble. Although it is said that it will not die, it is like mosquitoes and flies, and it is upsetting to watch.

There is no time to waste here.

Thinking of this, Rod put down the short sword in both hands. Then his eyes swept back, and then his figure shrank suddenly.

Killing Storm, Activate!

In just a moment's effort, Rod's figure completely melted into the darkness, only to see that in the dim tunnel, only the lines formed by the two rays of light, one white and one green, flew up and down rapidly, and the irregular light trail flashed through the passage in the blink of an eye, and with the rapid passing of these two rays of light. The noisy, disgusting cries of the goblins disappeared as if a large hand had completely covered their mouths.

But as long as you look at it with the help of the firelight, you can find that there are corpses of those goblins everywhere along the way, they still maintain the posture of attacking, shouting, and shouting, but there is no longer a trace of life in the evil black eyeballs. If you look closely, you'll find out. In the vital parts of these goblins' bodies, there was a shocking scar that completely penetrated their bodies.

Rod stopped. He looked up and glanced at the passage in front of him.

With the depth, the original narrow tunnel has gradually become spacious, and at this moment, in front of Rod, there is a large arena-like existence, which is located in a large hollow underground, with the help of the power of the night vision pendant, Rod can easily see the neatly arranged statues around him, as well as the murals and carvings symbolizing the winners.

If he remembered correctly, it would have been ............

"Knock............ Knock ............"

A heavy thud sounded.

Rod stopped, he looked around, there was no trace of life in the silent hollow, but Rod could keenly feel the ground trembling, he stuck the short sword on the ground with one hand, and took out the pocket watch from his arms, opened the cover, and carefully glanced at the time on it.

There are only three hours left before the start of the meeting.

“………… Mr!! ”

At this time, Victor and the others had already come to Rod's side panting, their eyes widened in surprise, and they were also surprised by this magnificent and huge arena, but Victor also knew that now was not the time to admire the ancient ruins here, not to mention that he was also a master-level swordsman, and he quickly sensed the hidden and entrained dangers here.

"It's ........."

"Be careful, it's not easy to deal with."

Just as Rod's words fell, suddenly, the originally flat ground suddenly swelled, and then a huge, pitch-black, earthworm-like creature emerged from the soil, opened its large mouth full of sharp teeth, and flew towards everyone.

"It's an underground worm!!"

Seeing the big mouth in front of him, revealing three layers of sharp teeth inside and three layers outside, disgusting monster, Victor immediately recognized its true identity, and at this moment Victor immediately showed his true strength as a master swordsman, in the face of the monster that pounced on him and opened his huge mouth, Victor did not choose to dodge, on the contrary, he erected the long sword, and then shouted angrily, and soon, the long sword in Victor's hand burst out with a dazzling blue-green brilliance, he raised the long sword and swung it hard. And with Victor's movements, a thunderbolt also burst out from the sword at this moment, slashing heavily on the body of the underground worm.

"Boom!!"

A deafening thunderclap echoed through the vast arena, even shaking the dust above the arena and falling down. But the amazing thunder didn't kill the underground worms. The huge, terrifying creature was covered in a thick layer of rock for protection, and Victor's attack only shook its outer layer of rock down, but it did not do any further damage to the underground worms.

But fortunately, this underground creature itself is very sensitive to sound because of the degradation of vision, and Victor's thunder sword did not cause physical damage to it, but the huge roar startled it, and the underground worm, which could not rely on its hearing to find the target for a while, stopped moving, and then it jumped and lurked deep underground like a fish entering the sea.

"I'll leave it to me, sir!!"

Victor held his sword, stared at the arena, and shouted at Rhodes at the same time, he was not stupid, Rhodes had been uncharacteristically not using his representative strange summons all the way, and Victor had sensed Rod's true intentions, and now they really didn't have time to waste here.

"You move on with the council chief, be sure to take him to his destination before the meeting begins!!"

“……………”

Hearing Victor's words, Rhodes nodded, and then he glanced at Anne.

“………… Let's go! ”

Rod lowered his voice and spoke, and Anne instinctively wanted to answer, but fortunately she still held back the words that were about to be spoken, but snorted very strangely, and then the girl grabbed the rickety body of the old council leader, and picked him up like a chicken, and Lijie also lost no time in releasing a guardian spirit spell to the old council leader, and then, under the leadership of Rod, several people rushed to the exit on the other side.

It wasn't until he saw the figures of Rhodes and the others disappear that Victor turned his head, holding his long sword and quietly staring ahead.

Soon, the ground cracked again.
