Chapter 46: Sounds from Underground

The cool breeze blurred the noise in the camp.

The cold-blooded observed the starry sky with a crudely polished lens, and Obamon and the Skink Priest discussed the vague future predicted by the stars.

Lynch looked at the flame quietly, and when the flame suddenly trembled for a moment, he almost stabbed his weapon into it.

Lynch thought that the devil had broken through the power of the ritual and wanted to fight tonight.

When the flames trembled again, Lynch realized something was wrong.

It wasn't the fire that was trembling, but the whole earth was shaking.

The elves and cold-blooded creatures picked up their weapons and quickly formed a battle formation.

The bow-wielding Triton was escorted to the center by the Lizardmen. Lynch looked around carefully, waiting for possible attacks.

The earth was just trembling, there was no enemy.

The magic swordsman and the priest each cast spells, trying to find the source of the anomaly.

There was a rumble of thunder in the distance, but there was clearly no sign of rain in the sky. The stars were still clearly visible, without a single dark cloud.

The thunder gradually faded away, but the ground was still shaking in fear.

Lynch's keen hearing locked onto some discordant sounds.

It looked like some living creature was building a large structure underground, and it was shaking due to the thunder in the distance.

Lynch bent down and listened to the movement underground.

It sounded like someone was hitting the rocks hard a hundred meters below. Lynch thought it was ratmen, which always liked to dig everywhere underground.

Lynch inadvertently glanced at the bushes in the distance, which seemed to have grown taller.

A bad guess came to Lynch's mind. He stood up suddenly and carefully observed the height difference between the distance and this place.

It's not an illusion, this place is slowly collapsing.

A gang of ratmen trying to sneak up from underground?

Regardless of whether this conjecture was correct, Lynch gave a brief order and led the confused elves and cold-blooded people away from the camp, marching to the woods where there were no signs of collapse.

The army faced the collapsed area with vigilance. Now even those with the worst eyesight could see the depression in the distance.

But until the ground stopped sinking, Lynch still didn't see the attacking ratmen.

It seemed to be just an accident.

A faint sound like whispering appeared in the depression. In the grass that was taller than a person, it seemed that two creatures crawled out from the ground and communicated under the cover of vegetation.

Under Lynch's vigilant gaze, two ratmen wearing masks and strange devices on their bodies, who were communicating while looking at the surrounding environment, pushed aside the ferns and walked out openly.

One of the ratmen was talking with saliva flying everywhere, while the other ratman subconsciously paid attention to his surroundings, and his green eyes met the cold gazes of the cold-blooded and the elf.

The scene was quiet for a moment, and the rat man subconsciously pushed his companion in front of him to block the enemy's horrifying gaze.

It took off its mask, its nose twitched slightly, and it sniffed the air, while rubbing its eyes in confusion.

The arrows of Triton and the poisonous needles of the Skink broke the suddenly solidified atmosphere. It was like seeing a ghost. The two ratmen screamed and activated the dimensional stone devices on their bodies.

"Elf, elf stuff!"

"Yes, there is a lizard thing!"

The poison needles and arrows were blocked by the energy shield that was lit up by the device. The two ratmen fled into the vegetation. When Lynch led the team into the bushes, they had already disappeared.

The wizard's magic descended upon this place, and the plants came alive under Obamon's control. They jumped and hopped away from this place with their roots, leaving the warriors' sight.

There was only a small hole on the bare ground that had been filled up.

The wizards used all kinds of magic to try to dig open the cave, but there was still soil under the soil, and ten meters below it was even filled with rocks. Although it was very loose, it successfully prevented the invasion of the eldest and second sons of the ancient saint.

"Hurry up, block it, block it!"

Underground, countless souls of slave rats emerged, and with the help of the engineering sorcerers' machines, they filled the passage leading to the ground at an unprecedented speed.

Another warlock engineer hurriedly found the leader of the Caries Clan and sternly refused to continue to carry out the commission. He wanted to return directly to the Skryre Clan.

They were already unlucky enough, and the horned rat seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for them.

Originally, they only needed to build a large experimental site, but first a demon appeared from nowhere and drove the entire Caries Clan out of the clan residence.

We finally chose a new site and the construction was almost completed, but for some unknown reason an earthquake occurred.

When the two great engineers went up to investigate, they encountered a legion armed to the teeth.

Although the warlords of Clan Caries are affiliated with Clan Skryre, they are also connected to Clan Pestilence and can switch sides at any time.

It would naturally not agree to the Warlock Engineer's request. If all its previous efforts were wasted, wouldn't its Dimension Stone be wasted? During the fierce argument, a ratman covered in pus walked out of the shadows.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Warlock Engineer retreated cautiously, confronting the Plague Priest of the Plague Clan.

In the end, the rat people reached a compromise with each other.

Seeing that there was no way to catch the Skaven and beat them up, Lynch had to give up this plan.

The army marched some distance and set up camp again.

The lizardmen on night watch patrolled more closely, not missing any sign of trouble.

Thunder could be heard from time to time in the infinite distance, and the spirit lizards began to discuss and speculate from various superstitious perspectives.

Uneasy whispers also appeared among the elves, and the name of Hakon, the god of earthquakes, was mentioned repeatedly.

The magic swordsman brought the Swordmaster of Hoeth and performed a prayer ceremony to the goddess of dreams, Lilith.

They hoped that the moon god would give them revelations.

The hazy moonlight fell down and vaguely merged into a huge object like a hill.

But it is too ethereal and it is impossible to see the whole picture.

After the ceremony, the magic swordsman can only hope that the pure girl Lilith will give him enlightenment through dreams tonight.

The lizardmen held a lively roasted insect dinner, while the elves quietly stayed away from the cold-blooded species, hiding the disgust in their eyes very well.

After praying to Kurnos, the father of the elves and god of hunting, some Tritons brought back several jungle tigers and more amphibians and reptiles from their hunts.

After dinner, as the Skinks sang praises to Kotego, some of the Elves sang songs in praise of the God-King Asuryan to the campfire.

Obamon began to discuss ancient secrets with Lynch, tracing back to the era when the ancient saints walked the earth.

Fortunately, Lynch has a wide range of knowledge, and he can even recite the process from creation to the end.

The ancient saints had an ambiguous relationship with the elven gods and got along well with them. In the beginning, they were also respected by the elves as guides.

In the distant past, there was an elven wizard who foresaw a catastrophe and warned the gods, but the gods ignored her.

So she put her hope in the ancient sage to prove her right, but it was too late.

No one knows what happened on the night of the catastrophe.

Lynch used the starlight to once again observe the blurry data stream under the starlight.
