Chapter 217

The mud in the dark green swamp rolled under the movements of unknown creatures, a foul smell rose, and the surrounding low bushes and tall trees sprouted green buds, swaying gently in the wind.

At this moment, a rabbit suddenly jumped to the edge of a swamp. Just as it looked around in panic and was about to jump up and run away, a huge bloody mouth full of long and sharp teeth suddenly swallowed it up.

The rabbit's legs exposed outside its teeth kicked a little, and as the teeth moved, bright red blood began to seep out of its body, and then it stopped moving weakly.

The owner of the teeth licked his lips in satisfaction and was about to sink into the mud.

There was a soft "bang" sound, as if a stone had hit its skin. The dark green, bumpy monster, which looked like a lizard and a frog, roared and looked around alertly, trying to find any suspicious movement.

The black bead that hit it was too small and fell into the mud under its feet, so the monster didn't take it seriously.

"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded, accompanied by mud flying everywhere, mixed with large amounts of blood and broken pieces of flesh.

“Success!”

A cheer came from the thorn bushes not far away, and then a group of dwarves came out one after another, about ten of them.

Rob poked the excited Bombur and said, "You've tried it many times, but you're still so excited? The monster isn't dead yet."

"Oh, I always threw them with my hands before. This isn't my first time using a thrower. Besides, I've never fought a monster this big before. The thunder bombs can actually penetrate the monster's hide..."

Bombur was babbling with excitement.

Loki, who had white hair and a white beard, was unusually excited. He patted Bombur on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up! That monster is getting up again!"

A huge roar was heard from the swamp, and the surrounding mud began to bubble densely, as if many monsters were ready to move.

Even though the dwarves were relatively safe in this area, Bombur began to panic. He raised the black-controlled thrower in his hand and fired another thunder bomb at the chest of the monster, which had been blown up halfway and exposed its bright red internal organs.

The monster was now on guard and tried to block it with its front paws, but the thunder bomb came with great force. In order to prevent the monster from blocking the thunder bomb, Bombur activated the magic pattern almost to the point of firing it. When the frog-like and lizard-like monster tried to block it, the thunder bomb had already exploded.

The monster, which suffered a second severe blow, died immediately, and even the claws it wanted to use to block were blown away.

A large amount of deep red blood seeped down into the muddy water in the swamp. The bubbles in the mud became more and more violent. Buona seemed to see the shape of eyes in these bubbles.

"Oh no, the noise was too loud and it attracted other monsters!" Her expression changed and she cried out anxiously.

Bombur was eager to try the thrower in his hand. "That spring Xiaoyu mentioned before is really useful for this. It can throw it much farther and faster than I can. I'll give it a try when we get to Warcraft. It also saves us from catching rabbits for bait."

At this moment, the slender Yun and Ming jumped down from the towering tree trunks respectively. Without much explanation, each of them picked up a few dwarves in their hands and started running towards the Gray Iron Tribe.

The snow werewolves were incredibly fast, and soon they brought a group of dwarves back to the edge of the tribe, and then gently put them down.

The treatment Bombur received this time was not as good as when he was carried by Black Rock. At least at that time, he was carried one by one. But now, when the snow werewolves ran fast, he would even bump into the heads of those around him...

"There were too many monsters coming up, and I didn't have time to tell you." Yun said embarrassedly when he saw how dizzy they looked.

Loki was old, and at the moment he felt dizzy and as if he was seeing stars. He weakly supported his wife's shoulders and said, "Uh, could there be high-level monsters in the swamp?"

Doesn't this mean the Gray Iron Tribe will have to move again?

Buona was already accustomed to her partner's frail body. She reached out to support him, frowning as she said, "We've lived here for several years and haven't seen any high-level magical beasts here. Could it be that we made too much noise just now and disturbed it?"

But it's strange to say this, after all, dwarves make a living by forging every day, and the noise they make is quite big.

Could it be that the blood of the monster that was just killed in the explosion seeped into the mud, triggering the ferocity of the high-level monster?

Seeing that the dwarves began to speculate worriedly, Bombur began to regret experimenting with using thunder bombs to deal with monsters, and Ming waved his hands hurriedly.

"No, no, there aren't any high-level monsters. They're just a bunch of low- and mid-level monsters. They're disgusting and can't be eaten. Beating them is useless."

Yun also nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it smells very bad, fishy and stinky, even stronger than the smell of the monsters in the river. With so many of them surrounding us, it would be suffocating to death."

Seeing the two snow wolves' serious expressions, Loki almost couldn't breathe. He glanced at his wife who was also choking, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The dwarves of the Black Map Tribe were accustomed to the temperament of the Snow Werewolves. Bombur let out a long sigh, "Oh, I was scared to death. I hope there are no high-level monsters."

Rob combed his messed up beard expressionlessly. Alas, snow werewolf, he should have guessed it earlier.

However, after this incident, they also knew the effect of thunder bombs on monsters. It was indeed extremely powerful. Unless a top-level third-level monster could withstand a few more hits, other low- and medium-level monsters would be seriously injured by a thunder bomb.

Like the swamp monster that was lured out with a rabbit today, its strength is level three. If it weren't for the fact that swamp monsters cannot stay away from the swamp for too long, the Gray Iron Tribe would not be able to gain a foothold here. There are countless monsters of this level in the swamp.

Although they were a little speechless about the two upright snow wolves, Loki and others saw the power of the thunder bomb with their own eyes and immediately decided to start collecting raw materials.

The dwarves are willing to take risks for various ores. They make a living from ores, and sometimes they even risk their lives for rare ores.

This time, with the help of the snow wolves, the dwarves will not have to risk their lives even if they go to look for unfamiliar ores. Since the dwarves came to this continent, they have encountered many crises in the new and unfamiliar environment.

So far, every mineral vein discovered by the dwarf tribe is a route opened up by the tribe members with their blood.

Originally, the dwarves did not have to rush to make weapons for the kingdom and the elves in the first half of the year, so they had more free time than in the second half of the year. Now, in addition to starting to make thunder bombs, they also have to start building a brick kiln.

The arrival of Yun and Ming saved the dwarves a lot of trouble. Yun took Loki and Buona to look for a vein of ore that could be used to make thunder bombs near the Gray Iron Tribe, while Ming stayed in the tribe and was responsible for breaking the stones into pieces.
