Dawn of the Ash Tower

Chapter 16 Encounter


The camera turned back to Cheese and his party. With the help of the land spirit, the mage and others entered the cave along a road that had never been discovered before.Goblin eyes allow them to see in very dark places, but humans cannot.So in order to illuminate in the cave, Cheese took out a small stone from a small bag and some white powder from another bag, sprinkled the powder on the stone and rubbed it for a while.Soon, the unremarkable stone began to emit a steady white glow, comparable in brightness to a torch.

"Grey phosphorite plus the powder on the wings of the white feather butterfly will glow in a slightly heated environment." The mage explained to others.Everyone was surprised to see that the ordinary stone turned into a stable light source in Cheese's hands.The courageous Hahn stretched out his hand to touch this magical stone.

"Be careful, it's hot." Cheese said hurriedly, but "Wild Boar"'s fingers had already touched the surface of the stone, and he groaned and quickly withdrew his hand, as if touching an iron pot filled with boiling water.

Cheese wrapped Elsa's hands with a wet cloth, and inserted the glowing stone into a wooden stick that was also wrapped in a wet cloth.Then give the stick to Mona, and let her be responsible for lighting the surroundings.

"In fact, the reason why this stone glows is because it is burning slowly. So while it is glowing, it also emits considerable heat," the mage said.But for others, cheese's explanation is actually superfluous.They simply cannot understand why a stone glows, and naturally they cannot believe that the stone is actually burning.

"Mage's trick." Hahn muttered in a low voice, rubbing his slightly burned fingers.This sentence is almost becoming his mantra.In fact, getting along with Cheese in the past few days has made the three Frost Guards except Elsa feel awe while being amazed by the various incredible knowledge and deeds of the mage.In their opinion, what the mage does can't be combined with common sense at all. This kind of mystery is respectable, but it also makes them have a strange barrier to cheese.

Seeing that Cheese and others were ready, the goblins began to urge them to go on the road. The dark cave could not affect these little guys at all, and the bats and other animals that lived in the cave also chose to visit Cheese and others because of the existence of these goblins. ignored.

"Be careful." Cheese pulled the proprietress to avoid the stalagmites hanging down in front of her.In fact, not only the roof of the cave, but the entire cave gradually deepened, and the texture of the cave gradually changed from rough rock at the beginning to fine.Dense stalagmites occupy the corners of the cave, and some glowing mushrooms also appear in the line of sight from time to time.

"It's unbelievable. The largest fortress of the legion is less than one-tenth of this place." The female warrior Mona tried her best to raise the lighting stone in her hand, but it still couldn't illuminate the boundary of the cave.For the frost guards who regard Longji Mountain as part of their own territory, the huge cave that exists in the remnants of Longji Mountain is simply inconceivable.

A few people followed the goblins to the inside of the cave. They saw that the size of the cave was changing without reason. The previous one was as spacious as a castle hall, and only one person could bend down to pass through a corridor. .And the intricate forks in the cave make it hard to imagine what would have happened without these land spirits leading the way.

"Did you hear that?" Elsa said, stopping suddenly.

"What did you hear?" Cheese asked curiously. As a spellcaster, his physical fitness was the weakest among the five, and his relative five senses were not as sensitive as others.

The remaining three people, including the proprietress, did not answer the cheese's question. They put their ears on the rock wall and "listened" to the sound from the depths of the cave in this way.Not only Elsa and the others, but also the land spirits around the group of people seemed to have discovered something. They became restless, and at a certain point, they dispersed as if they had agreed.

"You! Wait!" The mage greeted the fleeing land goblins in vain, but these little guys quickly disappeared into the darkness beyond the lighting range.

"It's the sound of fighting. One side should be human beings." The female warrior raised her head from the rock wall and said.

"Quick, over there!" "Monkey" was the first to find the direction as a scout in the group. He took the lighting stone in Mona's hand and ran towards one direction.The rest of the people also ran after him.Regardless of the mage's objection, Hahn put the cheese on his shoulders, and followed closely behind with big strides.

Firelight, in this dark cave, the light of torches and braziers is so obvious.And if the light from the flames only illuminated the cave, then those figures fighting under the light of the flames projected weird images on the rock wall.Cheese and the others saw this scene after turning around a corridor.Under the light of the fire, the two groups of people are fighting fiercely.One of them is a human wearing simple leather armor, while the other is some grotesque creatures.They are slightly shorter than normal humans, but this is because they are almost always piggybacked, and these creatures have a roughly humanoid shape, with only one eye in the head.They have bulging tumors and even moss on the skin.

"Caveman!" The three frost guards exclaimed at the same time.As the Frost Guards who have been digging fortresses in Dragon's Back Mountain, they are no strangers to these humanoid creatures living underground and in caves.Because the legion often encounters natural caves in the process of excavating the fortress, and there is a high possibility that this kind of creature will exist in these caves.In fact, 90.00% of the Frost Guard's combat attrition in the past century is related to these creatures called "cavemen".

The sudden five-person group obviously attracted the attention of the two warring parties. Before Cheese and the others shouted to the humans to confirm their identities, a small group of cavemen had already rushed towards them.These cavemen did not have formed weapons, only some rough stone hammers and axes, and some even held a large stone.

"Defense! Protect the mage!" the female warrior roared, and at the same time drew two one-handed battle axes from behind. "Wild Boar" raised the round shield half as high as the cheese, stepped in front of the mage and Elsa, and became the most solid barrier. "Monkey" Jack took two steps back silently, the hunting bow in his hand was drawn to the full string, and the black iron arrow reached the fastest caveman.The archer exerted his strength first, but in the dim environment, the arrow hit the enemy's one eye impartially!However, the fall of their companions did not affect these cavemen, and they still maintained the momentum of charging to hit them.

"Humph!" With the mage's soft hum, the stalagmites above the cavemen's heads began to fall off, and the rock pillars turned into deadly nails in an instant, smashing the heads of the enemies in front of them.

"Okay!" Hahn couldn't help cheering in a low voice. The Frost Guards didn't have no hatred against the cavemen. There would always be a few comrades in the same team who died in the hands of these underground creatures, so seeing that Cheese's spell worked, he naturally I am very happy.

However, although cheese's spell eliminated some cavemen, more cavemen had rushed to the front of the five people.After shooting two more arrows, Jack simply threw the hunting bow behind his back, and took out the hunter's dagger to prepare for close combat.And the female warrior Mona has firmly guarded the left wing of the team with two battle axes. Although she is a woman, her well-trained physical fitness is not weaker than that of her male colleagues. In the blink of an eye, three or four cavemen had been killed.

"Drink!" Hahn is worthy of the name "Wild Boar". While his large shield is defending, the short spear in the other hand is the tusk of a wild boar. This strong northerner blocked almost all the frontal enemies with his body. enemy.And Elsa and Jack, the two agile fighters, were not to be outdone. They had a hunting knife and two short swords. I can't even wipe the corners of my clothes.

However, with the dazzling performance of the five Cheeses, more cavemen attacked them. Those cavemen holding boulders did not care whether they would accidentally injure their own people, and just threw the rocks as big as millstones at the group go.

"Flying stone!" Mona yelled to remind her teammates to pay attention. Elsa and Jack were not in love after receiving the notification, and the five of them hid under the protection of Hahn as a barrier in an instant.Huge stones hit the shield with a dull sound. If it were an ordinary person, even with the protection of the shield, the arm holding the shield would probably be broken. He backed away an inch.At the same time, more misplaced stones also caused a large group of cavemen around them to fall.

"I can't hold back for long!" Hahn yelled in a low voice.His strength is not infinite, and with more and more stones, this strong man is also somewhat powerless.

"We need to join those people." Mona said with an axe as she knocked over a caveman who was trying to sneak up.

"But if we move, we'll be stoned to pieces!" said Monkey.Indeed, under such intensive stone-throwing attacks, several people have completely become targets.

"I'm here to buy time. If I say close your eyes, you should close your eyes." Cheese, who had been silent all the time, said suddenly.

"What are you talking about, who would dare now..." Before Hahn finished speaking, Cheese interrupted him.

"Close your eyes!" The mage held up the wooden staff tied with the luminous stone, and stood up suddenly during a wave of attacks, only to see that the luminous stone erupted with a light ten times stronger than before!It's like a miniature sun.For a moment, those cavemen covered their eyes and screamed.

"Run!" The mage gave an order, and the few people who closed their eyes followed the command and ran towards the crowd without saying a word.The fighting cave itself was not big, and Cheese and the others quickly joined another group of people.
