Chapter 0344: The Road to the Peak of Ice and Snow (V)



Although this dwarf looked careless, he was right. Underground, dwarves did have an incomparable advantage.

Led by the dwarf named "Stone Hammer", Fang Zheng and his companions circled the underground tunnel again and again. To be honest, thanks to Fang Zheng's bloodline of the time dragon, he could use the future vision to explore the way. At the same time, Nymph also scanned and recorded the terrain nearby. If they just rushed in, they would probably end up getting lost in the countless underground tunnels where they couldn't see the road.

But even so, they were still no match for the stone hammer dwarf, who seemed to have a special talent. He was a short and fat dwarf who looked like a barrel (Jasmine's language), but he was like a fish in water underground. He hardly looked at the road, just hammering with the hammer while moving forward. And just in case, Fang Zheng also cast a spell to determine everyone's location. After all, there were too many caves here. If someone accidentally took the wrong path, it would be difficult to turn back.

During this time, Fang Zheng continued to chat with the Stone Hammer Dwarf to get more information. As he expected, although the dwarf was very tight-lipped about his tribe and city, he was willing to exchange information with Fang Zheng on other matters. Therefore, Fang Zheng also learned why these dwarves rushed to support him.

"We received news from the boulder tunnel this morning that those damn underground bastards came to cause trouble again. We didn't take it seriously at first. After all, these guys often come to cause trouble, and it's not just one or two days. But it's basically a dream for them to break through the boulder door!"

When he said this, the Stonehammer Dwarf was a little proud, but soon he snorted in dissatisfaction.

"But I don't know what happened. We suddenly lost contact with the Stone Gate. In order to prevent any accidents, our king sent me with a team to check the situation. I didn't expect..."

Looking at the dejected expression of the Stone Hammer Dwarf, Fang Zheng could understand his frustration. If the elves would be attacked due to their physical fragility, then the dwarves would rarely have such concerns. They have a tough physique, and even deadly poisons are difficult to take effect on them immediately. Their resistance to magic is also second to none in this continent. Even the sleeping magic cast by a legendary wizard cannot take effect on a dwarf instantly.

Unfortunately, they are unreasonable, but Long Wei is even more unreasonable than them. This is as simple and clear as a 1+1=2 fact that has been explained - eagles fly higher than chickens, and elephants are bigger than mice. This deterrent force based on the pyramid system of the food chain in nature is the strongest and most difficult to resist.

"Speaking of which, I have something I want to ask you."

Seeing that the Stone Hammer Dwarf seemed to be sulking, Fang Zheng quickly changed the subject.

"My companions and I came here for the assessment mission of the Order Alliance... I heard that there are strange flashes every night at the top of the ice and snow recently. What do you remember about this?"

To be honest, Fang Zheng had not had any expectations about this. After all, he had asked many people about this question since he came here, but no matter whether they were humans or elves, they all said that they had not seen any flashes, so these dwarves would probably be no exception.

But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was...

"What? Are those flashes really created by you mages? I was wondering why it was so weird. What the hell is this test for? Hurry up and get rid of that thing. It's keeping us from sleeping well!"

"Why?"

Hearing the Stonehammer Dwarf's unhappy answer, everyone was stunned, and then the girls rushed up and surrounded the Stonehammer Dwarf.

"Wait, wait, you mean there was actually a flash?!"

"You're not lying to us, are you, Uncle Dwarf?"

It was no wonder that these girls were so excited. During this period, they, like Fang Zheng, had asked many people, investigated many places, and even carefully observed the top of the ice and snow every night. However, they did not see any dazzling flashes, or even a slightly brighter light. Because of this, they, like Fang Zheng, thought that there might be something wrong with this commission.

And now, they finally found the clue!

"Huh? Huh? How could I lie?"

Seeing these girls suddenly rushing over, the Stone Hammer Dwarf was also shocked. He instinctively clenched the battle axe in his hand and was almost scared to fall off the underground lizard. At the same time, the dwarf's face became serious and he spoke seriously.

"How can I, Stone Hammer, lie? My words are truer than the fine gold I forge!"

Looking at this scene, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, then pulled the girls in front of him away.

"Okay, don't get so excited, take your time... Sorry, they are just a little anxious, they don't mean any harm. I wonder if you can tell us about the flash."

"That's no problem. In fact, many people have seen that thing..."

According to the Stonehammer dwarves, the flash was actually more like the light that someone would shine into a cave with a large searchlight or flashlight. At first, the flash annoyed the dwarves because it was quite dazzling and annoying. So the dwarves wanted to find out what was going on. Of course, they also considered whether it was a trap set by the dark elves or some new terrifying creature appeared underground. But when the dwarves followed the light source, they found that they could not find where the flash came from!

They saw the light was at the end of the corner, but when they rushed over, they found that the light source had moved further into the depths. After going back and forth for several times, the dwarves were also complaining. Later, they were too lazy to pay attention to these strange flashes. Anyway, these flashes only appeared for a period of time during their sleep time, and there was no harm, so the dwarves basically stopped caring about this problem.

As for where the source of that mysterious flash of light is...

"We don't know."

This is the answer given by the Stonehammer Dwarf.

Although this result was not very satisfactory, at least it was a direction to find out. At least everyone could be sure of one thing, that is, the flash in the commission was not groundless, but really existed. However, unlike what everyone thought, this flash was inside the "inside" of the ice and snow peak instead of outside, so neither humans nor elves had ever seen this light before.

After all, they can only see the outside of the Ice and Snow Peak...

Now that the clues to the assessment task have been found, everyone naturally does not have to worry about whether they have found the wrong place. Moreover, they have a more troublesome thing to do right now.

"…What happened to these monsters?"

Staring blankly outside the cave, even the Stonehammer Dwarf could not hide his surprise. The girls were even more stunned. They saw that the hillside not far from the cave was densely packed with all kinds of monsters. The goblins that Fang Zheng and others had seen before, as well as gnolls and goblins, were all there, and they even saw a few frost giants!

But what surprised everyone the most was that these monsters, which would normally kill each other to the death when they met, were now staying together obediently, like an army!

"Excuse me, what is on the top of the mountain?"

"No...there's nothing on the top of the mountain..."

In response to Fina's question, the Stone Hammer Dwarf scratched his head in confusion. As a member of the dwarf tribe, he could walk through the entire Ice and Snow Peak almost with his eyes closed. Of course, he knew that there was nothing good on the top of the Ice and Snow Peak. So, where did these monsters come from?

And at this moment, a voice sounded beside them.

"I know why they came."

"Why?"

Hearing this answer, everyone was shocked. They turned around and saw Fang Zheng staring at the front with a serious expression. In fact, just now, he had received an important piece of information from Nymph.

There is a super-large energy fluctuation reaction on the top of the mountain ahead.
