Although the dwarf looked careless, what he said was not wrong. In the underground, dwarves indeed had an unparalleled advantage.
Under the leadership of the dwarf named "Stonehammer", Fangzheng and the others circled around the underground tunnel again and again. To be honest, it was all thanks to Fangzheng's Time Dragon bloodline that he could now use Futuristic Vision to explore the way. At the same time, Nimf also scanned and recorded the nearby terrain. If it was just the few of them who went in blindly, they would probably end up getting lost in the countless underground tunnels where they could not see the path.
But even so, they were still not as good as the Stonehammer Dwarf. He seemed to have a special talent. He was obviously a dwarf who was as fat as a wine barrel (in Jasmine's language), but he was like a fish in water underground. He did not even look at the way he was going; he just hammered and moved forward at the same time. And just in case, Fangzheng also cast a spell to determine everyone's position. After all, there were too many caves here. If someone accidentally went the wrong way, it would be difficult to turn back.
Along the way, Fangzheng continued to chat with the Stonehammer Dwarf to get more information. Just as he expected, although the dwarf was very tight-lipped when it came to his tribe and city, he was still willing to exchange information with Fangzheng on other things. So Fangzheng learned why these dwarves rushed to support them.
"We received news from the Giant Rock Tunnel this morning that those damn underground bastards had come to make trouble again. At first, we didn't take it to heart. After all, these things often come looking for trouble, and it's not the first time they've done it. But it's basically a dream for them to break through the Giant Rock Gate! "
When he said this, the Stonehammer Dwarf was a little proud, but he soon snorted coldly.
"But for some reason, we suddenly lost contact with the Giant Rock Gate. Fearing that something might happen, our king sent me to take a team to check the situation, but I didn't expect …"
Seeing the stone hammer dwarf's dejected expression, Fangzheng could understand his frustration. If the Elves were ambushed due to their fragile bodies, then the Dwarves would rarely have such concerns. They had a tough physique, and even deadly poisons would not have an immediate effect on them. Their resistance to magic was also second to none on this continent. Even a Sleeping Spell released by a Legendary-mage could not have an immediate effect on a dwarf.
Unfortunately, they were unreasonable, but Firebird was even more unreasonable than them. It was as simple and clear as a fact that 1 + 1 = 2 — eagles fly higher than chickens, and elephants are bigger than mice. This kind of deterrence built on the food chain pyramid system of nature was the strongest and the most difficult to resist.
"Speaking of which, I have something to ask you."
Seeing that the Stonehammer Dwarf was starting to sulk, Fangzheng hurriedly changed the topic.
"My companions and I came here for the assessment mission of the Lawful Alliance … I heard that there have been strange flashes every night on the Ice Summit recently. Do you have any impression of this?"
To be honest, Fangzheng did not have any expectations. After all, he had asked many people this question since he came here, but whether it was humans or Elves, they all said that they had not seen any flashes, so these Dwarves were probably no exception.
But what Fangzheng did not expect was …
"What? Were those flashes of light really the work of you mages? I was wondering why it was so strange. What the hell is this assessment? Hurry up and get rid of that thing. We haven't been able to sleep well these days! "
"Huh?"
Hearing the Stonehammer Dwarf's unhappy answer, everyone was stunned. Then, the young girls rushed up and surrounded the Stonehammer Dwarf.
"Wait, wait, you mean there's really a flash?!"
"You're not lying to us, are you, Uncle Dwarf?"
It was no wonder that these young girls were so excited. Just like Fangzheng, they had asked a lot of people and investigated a lot of places. They even carefully observed the Ice Summit every night, but not only did they not see a dazzling flash, they did not even see a little bit of light. Because of that, like Fangzheng, they also thought that there might be something wrong with this mission.
And now, they finally found a clue!
"Huh? Huh? Why would I lie? "
Looking at the young girls who suddenly rushed over, the Stonehammer Dwarf was also taken aback. He instinctively clenched the battle axe in his hand and almost fell off the underground lizard because of the girls. At the same time, the Dwarf's expression turned solemn and he said seriously.
"Why would I, the Stonehammer Dwarf, lie? My words are truer than the adamantine I make! "
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng sighed helplessly and pulled the young girls away.
"Okay, don't be so excited. Take your time …. Sorry, they're just a little anxious. They don't mean any harm. I wonder if you can tell us about the flash."
"That's not a problem. In fact, many people have seen that thing …."
According to the Stonehammer Dwarf, the flash was actually more similar to the light that someone shone into the cave with a large searchlight and a 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. That was why the Dwarves wanted to figure out what was going on. Of course, they also considered whether this was a trap of the Dark Elves or a new terrifying creature that had appeared in the underground. But when the Dwarves followed the source of the light, they found that ….. they could not find where the flash came from at all!
They clearly saw that the light was at the end of the corner, but when they rushed over, they found that the light had gone deeper. After going back and forth several times, the Dwarves could not help but complain. In the end, they did not bother to pay attention to the strange flashes anymore. After all, the flashes would only appear for a period of time when they were sleeping and were harmless, so the Dwarves basically did not care about it anymore.
As for where the source of the mysterious flash was ….
"We don't know."
This was the answer given by the Stonehammer Dwarf.
Although this result was not very satisfactory, at least they found a direction. At least they could be sure of one thing, and that was that the flash in the mission was not groundless. It really existed. But unlike what they thought, the flash came from the "inside" of the Summit of Snow instead of the "outside", so neither the humans nor the elves had ever seen this light before.
After all, they could only see the outside of the Summit of Snow ….
Now that they had a clue about the test mission, they naturally did not have to worry about whether they had found the wrong place or not. And right now, they had a more troublesome thing to do.
"…. What's wrong with these monsters?"
Even the Stonehammer Dwarf could not hide his surprise as he stared blankly outside the cave. The girls were even more dumbfounded. They saw that on the hillside not far from the cave, there were all kinds of monsters everywhere. The goblins, gnolls, and goblins that Fangzheng and the others had seen before were all there. They even saw a few Frost Giants!
But what surprised everyone the most was that these monsters, who would usually kill each other as soon as they met, were now obediently staying together like an army!
"May I ask what's at the top of the mountain?"
"No … there's nothing at the top of the mountain …."
Hearing Fina's question, the Stonehammer Dwarf scratched his head in confusion. As a member of the Dwarf race, he could almost walk through the entire Summit of Snow with his eyes closed. Of course, he knew that there was nothing good at the top of the Summit of Snow. So, where did these monsters come from?
At that moment, a voice sounded beside them.
"I know why they're here."
"Huh?"
Hearing this answer, everyone was shocked. They turned around and saw Fangzheng staring ahead with a solemn expression. In fact, just now, he had received an important piece of information from the Nimf.
