There was a valley between the duchy of Koror and the Earth-Dividing Mountain Range. Abel was looking down coldly at the environment below. There were a lot of wild beasts and poisonous creatures here, and it was within the territory of the dwarves. Therefore, not many humans would come here to hunt. In order to survive here, it was necessary to have a camp that was easy to defend. This was why the grey dwarves chose to set up camp in the valley below.
The invisible White Cloud had been circling in the sky for a while now, and he could see the terrain clearly. The valley wasn't very big. It was only about eight hundred meters wide, and the houses here were all broken down wooden. It was hard to imagine that these houses could be used as shelter from the wind and rain. There weren't any plants or plants around the houses, and there weren't any vegetables planted around the houses. There weren't any living creatures other than the gray dwarves, either.
Black Wind kept patting its nose with its claws, and Abel could smell the stench coming from below. The stench came from the filth on the ground and the smell from the huge pot in the square.
Abel couldn't help but complain. Wasn't this the real-life version of the fallen? Perhaps the gray dwarves were much more intelligent than the fallen, but everything in front of him was very similar to the fallen camp he encountered in the Dark World.
In the square in the middle of the valley, other than the huge pot, there was a group of gray dwarves gathered together, watching two gray dwarves fight in the middle. One of the gray dwarves swept the other's leg with his sword, and gray blood flowed down the leg of the gray dwarf to the ground. All the gray dwarves began to cheer wildly, as if the blood made them even more excited.
The injured gray dwarf dragged his injured leg and kept retreating, but soon his head was chopped off by the winner. The gray dwarves on the side lifted the body of the defeated gray dwarf as if they were in a carnival, howling loudly and dancing a strange dance.
What happened next made Abel almost unable to believe his eyes. After the gray dwarves finished their dance, they threw the corpse and the head into the big pot in the center of the square. A lot of wood was added to the fire under the pot, making the fire even more vigorous.
Cannibals usually ate other races, but the gray dwarves were stewing their own kind, and they even lived together with them. Abel couldn't understand what they were thinking. Maybe this race was really tempted by evil, and this was a race that shouldn't exist.
Abel looked away and found a cave in the innermost mountain wall of the valley. Looking at the guards standing outside the cave, he guessed that this was the place where the important gray dwarves lived.
The two guards outside the cave were fully equipped with dwarven armor, and they seemed to be completely different from the gray dwarves in the square.
Just as Abel was observing, a group of ten gray dwarves walked out of the cave, all wearing dwarven armor and holding weapons.
They came to the square and chose two of the gray dwarves who were gathered there, and they were escorted back by two fully-armed gray dwarves.
Abel could hear the two gray dwarves being escorted begging for mercy from the air. Their voices were very miserable, as if something terrible was waiting for them.
At this point, Abel could see that the inside of the cave and outside of it were two completely different worlds. The inside of the cave should be the residence of the gray dwarves' ruler and army, while the outside of the cave was more like a herd of livestock.
Abel put a huge crossbow bolt on the crossbow, and attached a net to the head of the bolt. This was where he was going to place the super explosive ball.
Just as he was controlling the ballista to attack, an evil aura appeared in the valley. White Cloud's protective shield blocked a part of it, but it was also hit by some of the impact, and it quickly rose up.
Abel was shocked. He thought of the two gray dwarves who were just captured and begging for mercy. The gray dwarves were performing a living sacrifice to obtain the power and protection of a powerful evil being, and this evil aura was a response to this sacrifice. He now understood why the gray dwarves looked like this. It was the result of being invaded by evil, and the ruler of the gray dwarves used the low-level gray dwarves as sacrifices to obtain more power for himself.
This was also an important reason why the gray dwarves could survive in the cracks between the human race and the dwarf race, and why there were so many powerful gray dwarves.
The gray dwarves in the square all fell to their knees when they sensed the evil aura, and they madly shouted in a language that Abel couldn't understand. Every gray dwarf had a fanatical look on their faces.
The aura lasted for about 10 minutes before it slowly dissipated. The gray dwarves in the square seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened, and they began to make noise again.
Bai Yun descended again, and Abel aimed the crossbow at the entrance of the cave. He scanned his personal storage box with his power of the will, and a super explosive ball with a delay of 6 seconds appeared in the net in front of the bolt.
Without hesitation, Abel let go of the crossbow, and the bolt flew straight towards the entrance. He realized the + 73 accuracy of the blue ring on his finger was much more useful than he thought in the Holy Continent. As soon as he let go of the bolt, the blue ring flashed with a blue light, and the crossbow in his hand shook a little.
Abel was sure that he wasn't the one who made this shake. With his powerful strength, this kind of shaking shouldn't have happened, but as soon as the blue light appeared, the crossbow did shake a little. It wasn't accurate to call it shaking, but it should be called a little adjustment.
Originally, Abel could clearly feel that if he let go of his hand, the arrow would enter the cave. However, the cave was so big that it was hard to tell which direction it would enter from. After all, he was not a professional crossbow operator. He only had the basics of archery. With his powerful intuition and control of his body, he could shoot the arrow to a position that was not too far away from the target.
Now, after fine-tuning, he watched as the crossbow bolt flew straight into the center of the cave. It flew into the cave at the absolute center of the cave.
"Enemy attack!" The gray dwarf guarding the cave yelled and looked around, trying to find out where the attack came from.
Abel was counting in his heart, "6, 5, 4 …"
Bai Yun suddenly sped up and flew into the sky, while Abel was still counting in his heart, "3, 2, 1."
With the end of the last round, there was an earth-shattering explosion in the valley. The explosion occurred inside the cave, blowing the stone wall facing the valley into pieces. A large number of flying stones flew into the valley like powerful crossbow bolts.
The gray dwarves in the valley were first shocked by the explosion, then they saw the flying rocks of various sizes flying in their direction. Every one of them was powerful, and the wooden houses were smashed into pieces like toys. The gray dwarves in the valley were also knocked down amidst screams and wails.
The explosion didn't last long, but the effect was far beyond Abel's expectations. It was just a super explosive ball, but it killed more than half of the gray dwarves in the valley. Most of the gray dwarves who didn't die were lying on the ground, screaming in pain.
The cave on the stone wall had disappeared, leaving only a huge crater. At the bottom of the crater was a black hole.
A few boulders covered most of the black hole, leaving only a passage big enough for one person to pass through.
Abel didn't want to waste any more super exploding balls. They were very powerful, but they were made from iron meteorites, which was a little too expensive. Although the dwarves were rich enough to provide him with some, he still wanted to save as much as he could.
He switched to the Raven Claw and took out a quiver of iron arrows from his portal bag. He looked at the duergars that were still struggling on the ground, and he began to shoot arrows that were glowing in red. The arrows exploded on the ground one after another.
The dwarves in the valley were all low-level grey dwarves, and White Cloud was invisible. Although some grey dwarves wanted to fight back, they could not see any targets and could only look around in vain. Some grey dwarves wanted to run away, but they were not far away before they were hit by flying arrows or burned to death by the flames caused by the explosion of spells.
