The entrance to the cave was surrounded by many trolls. The troll leader Darusa couldn't just stare here. He turned to Aluru and said: "Aluru, take the trolls in and have a look."
The Troll Wizard asserted that there are no normal creatures down there. After so long, no abnormal life has escaped from inside, which proves that there is no danger down there.
The entrance to the cave is too narrow. Trolls are generally three to four meters tall, so they have to bend down and climb in.
Let Aluru go because she is smaller than a male adult troll and her combat power is also very impressive.
Aluru nodded, turned around and called two more female trolls, asking them to bring two torches.
After getting the torch, Aluru took the lead, crawling into the cave with the torch in one hand and the bone knife in the other.
Going down the stairs, the light of the torch illuminated the underground space. Aruru saw a lot of soil and footprints under his feet, guessing that humans should have lived here.
Continuing deeper, down to four or five meters underground, the stairs came to the end, and a low passage appeared in front.
Passing through the passage, a narrow hall came into view.
The two female trolls who followed also came in, and they both discovered the obvious tunnel on the left wall of the basement.
Aruru stepped forward and made a casual gesture, and found that it was just right for a human to pass.
The troll's long nose twitched slightly, and the smell of humans was very strong here. This means that the humans living here may have just left when they arrived!
She turned her head again, looked at the deep tunnel on the wall, and got a new idea.
Did the humans who were hiding here escape from this dug tunnel
Looking at the dark and deep tunnel, after looking at other rooms, Aruru confirmed that the humans living here came from here!
The strong traces of life can be traced, and the appearance of the tunnel is also very strange. There is absolutely no mistake!
The two female trolls who followed him climbed into the tunnel to check, and Aluru returned to the surface alone to explain the situation to Darusa.
"Are there traces of human life down there?"
When Darusa heard these words, he was not really surprised, but he certainly didn't expect it.
This is not a problem worth worrying about. After all, those humans have already run away, presumably because they are afraid of their power.
Why should we care about humans who run away with their tails between their legs
Let a few trolls take a look at the end of the tunnel. After confirming that there is no problem, they will collapse the tunnel, and then there is no need to continue to pay attention to it.
The other trolls thought the same way. The humans who discovered them used tunnels to escape, so what if they appeared, they were just lambs to be slaughtered.
A few troll warriors were left to take care of them, and the other trolls were left to do whatever they were supposed to do.
Aruru was very interested in the items in the utility room in the basement, so he took the initiative to take the job and returned to the basement.
She asked the two female trolls to get into the tunnel to check, and then ran to play with the "toys" in the utility room.
…
The two female trolls in the basement, one behind the other, bent down deep into the tunnel, constantly exploring the dark underground space.
The trolls didn't understand such a thing as air. After walking several hundred meters, they didn't feel surprised that there was still enough air. Instead, they were surprised that the tunnel was so deep.
After climbing a thousand meters, the two female trolls encountered a problem.
Just ahead, three roads appeared.
One is straight forward, and the remaining two are left and right.
There were only two trolls. The two trolls stopped at this intersection and turned around a few times. They didn't know which way to go. They almost fainted and couldn't find their way back.
Fortunately, they could see the footprints when they came, otherwise they would really get lost here.
The two female trolls chattered together.
"What do we do now?"
"Aluru asked us to go to the end and have a look. If we go back like this, we won't be scolded, right?"
"Yes? How about we choose a path?"
"There are three roads here. Let's go separately. You go this way and I go this way. Then we will come back and walk the front together. This way the speed will be much faster!"
"LS! I didn't expect you to be so smart!"
"No need to say any more, let's go!" The female troll named Ah LS waved her hands lightly, but the corners of her mouth turned up involuntarily. She did not continue to show off her IQ and went directly into the passage on the right.
Another female troll also got into the passage on the left, and the light of the torch was quickly swallowed up by the darkness of the tunnel.
…
After the troll named Ah LS crawled nearly a hundred meters in the tunnel, two more forked roads suddenly appeared in front of him, and a confused expression appeared on his smart head.
After looking back and forth, she decided to choose the right and keep walking in one direction, thinking that it would be more convenient to leave then.
Not long after LS left, a man emerged from the tunnel on the left, holding a wooden board in his hand and smoothing the marks on the ground with a wicked smile.
The female troll on the other side also encountered the same problem.
After the light of the torch appeared, Naka, who was hiding at a fork in the road, tightened the dagger in his hand. His body was as tight as a bowstring, like a sharp arrow ready to go, waiting for the prey to enter the shooting range.
"%@#&*?" (Another two roads?)
The moment the troll's soliloquy sounded, Naka quickly jumped out of the fork in the road, stepped heavily on the ground, and stabbed the female troll's throat with a horrified expression with the short sword in her hand like a sharp arrow.
The dagger was slightly adjusted and stabbed into the female troll's throat with precision.
The female troll who was attacked also reacted quickly. When the tip of the sword slightly penetrated her throat, she waved the torch and bone knife towards Naka in a panic, and tilted her head back.
The female troll had never expected to be attacked in the tunnel before. The sudden attack made her forget that this tunnel was dug by humans. The height was not suitable for the troll to stand up straight. When she leaned back to avoid it, she hit the soil above her head. Unable to dodge the thrust of the dagger.
Poof!
Naka's dagger still penetrated the female troll's throat, and the instantaneous pain caused the female troll's movements to lag behind.
Seizing the opportunity of delay, Naka blocked the bone knife stabbed by the female troll and stepped back. He was hit by a torch on his shoulder, which slightly hurt.
The power of an adult female troll is equivalent to that of a human silver-level warrior using magic amplification power.
After exercise and extraction of natural magic power, stronger power can be unleashed.
It seems powerful, but in the face of superb fighting skills, powerful power is nothing but a mirror.
Naka reached out and patted the grease on her shoulders to extinguish the flames. Then she stood not far away and quietly watched the female troll struggle.
After waving the torch and bone knife with all her strength in her hands, the female troll knelt down on the ground. Both the torch and bone knife fell to the ground. She covered her neck with both hands and opened her fanged mouth. It can only make the boiling sound of a viscous liquid boiling.
After struggling for a while, the female troll fell to the ground, completely dead.
The female troll had just died. From the passage on one side, Bourne ran out menacingly, punching and kicking the corpse on the ground.
The look of gnashing teeth made Naka roll her eyes. She picked up the torch that had not been completely extinguished and walked deeper into the tunnel without looking back. "Take the body back and deal with the traces on the way."
Bourne didn't reply, and kept beating the corpse on the ground in a vented manner, with tears streaming down his eyes...
