Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 206 Underground

Chapter 206 Underground
The giants mocked his father for marrying outside his family, and the humans mocked his mother for marrying outside his family.

People from both worlds called him a bastard.

He looked tall and strong, but he was no more than twenty years old.

During these twenty years, I have accumulated so much confusion and pain.

Shan Heyuan suddenly laughed at himself and asked, "How do you solve this kind of doubt and confusion? Zhang Xinglie, I heard that you are a master of both literature and martial arts, you must have a solution, right?"

Zhang Xinglie was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I have been out of tune with the people around me since I was a child. After suffering a lot, I pretended and learned at the same time, pretending to be sensible and reasonable, and learning how other children treat others. I am too smart, so smart that everyone thinks I am gradually becoming like a normal person. But sometimes I am confused. Should I stick to my original self or continue to learn from others?"

Zhou Leng looked at Zhang Xinglie in silence.

Always known.

Zhang Xinglie continued, "If I go back to my past self and treat everyone as fools and don't care about worldly judgments, I will immediately become a weirdo in the eyes of others. But if I continue to imitate others and try to be a normal person in all aspects, I always feel like something is missing in my heart. I can't find the answer to this question."

Shan Heyuan looked at Zhou Leng and asked, "What about you?"

Zhou Leng didn't want to say anything, but because of Shan Heyuan and Zhang Xinglie's words, he had a lot of thoughts.

Zhou Leng thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "I don't know how to do it, but if I think about it carefully, because I grew up alone, I seem to be very good at protecting myself. I have been good at it since I was a child."

Everyone sighed softly.

Zhou Leng added: "If I must say that I have some experience or method, it is probably to think more about killing demons and monsters. As I think about it, I feel that I am constantly practicing and getting stronger. In the future, I will be able to kill more demons and monsters, and I will feel much better. I don't know much else."

Shan Heyuan nodded and said, "I have similar practices, I understand. What about you?"

Shanheyuan looked at the molten hammer.

Molten Hammer pointed at himself and asked, "You ask me?"

"Correct."

Molten Hammer tilted his head and thought for a long time, then slowly said, "I really haven't thought about this question. In fact, our dwarven world is not so beautiful either. We often fight with orcs. We used to live underground, and only in recent years have we slowly moved to houses on the ground. If I must say..."

Molten Hammer nodded vigorously and said, "We dwarves don't think about this shit at all. Let's just enjoy each day. Why do we have to think about the shit in the past and the shit in the future? Isn't it good to live well today and now? Yes, it's good."

Molten Hammer and Black Barrel looked at each other and smiled happily.

Zhou Leng sighed: "Being heartless is one of the best ways to live."

Shanhe Oak suddenly realized, nodded vigorously, and said: "It turns out that I am suitable to be a dwarf."

Everyone laughed.

Everyone put aside the gloomy memories and talked about happy things.

Soon, the cave shook and dust fell.

"A new avalanche."

Everyone stood up, packed up their things, and prepared to end...

Rumble…

The heavens and the earth shook, and everyone swayed with them.

"No..." Molten Hammer suddenly fell to the ground and shouted loudly.

Everyone looked at each other. This time the vibration was not like an avalanche but more like an earthquake.

The ground slowly sank, the walls cracked, and rocks fell from the sky.

"not good!"

Everyone looked towards the cave entrance.

The entrance to the cave collapsed, was blocked by rocks, and was completely dark.

"quick……"

Rumble…

There was another loud bang, and the ground suddenly broke and fell.

Everyone followed and fell together.

Zhang Xinglie and Zhou Leng were the most agile and hurriedly looked for a place to stay, but the entire ground was breaking apart and falling down, leaving them with nowhere to stay.

"Be careful……"

I don’t know how many dozen meters I fell before I heard the sound of stones falling from below.

Everyone hurriedly adjusted their bodies, bent their knees and prepared, but they fell to the ground one after another and even fell down.

Fortunately, everyone was in the Body Refining Stage and had been prepared, so no one was injured.

It was dark all around.

Zhou Leng could vaguely see that this was a large cave, with one side sealed off and the other side being a passage extending inward.

The passage was covered with thick ice and the ground was also covered with ice.

The rocks above kept falling, and everyone hurriedly ran a few steps deeper into the passage to avoid the rocks above.

After adapting to the darkness, you can see more clearly.

"Do you want to turn on the light?" Zhang Xinglie asked.

"It's a bit dangerous. Can you see clearly?" Zhou Leng asked.

Molten Hammer said, "I can see it clearly."

Iron dwarves are born with darkvision, after all, they have lived underground for a long time.

"I can see it more clearly." Shanhe Oak said.

"I can see almost everything, but I may not be able to see the details clearly." Zhou Leng said.

"It seems that everyone is about the same. Molten Hammer will observe first and we will slowly adapt. If you really can't see clearly, use the tactical flashlight."

"it is good."

Molten Hammer whispered, "The cave here is a bit high, have you found it?"

Zhou Leng nodded and said, "This passage is more than 20 meters high. It must have been dug by a giant, right?"

"But I've never heard of such a large passage in the Avalanche Mountains. The ground here is frozen all year round, with terrible winds, so no one can live here." Shanhe Oak said.

Molten Hammer said: "This place is very ancient."

Shan Heyuan's heart moved, and he said, "There is a legend that in the past there lived giants in the Avalanche Mountains who were not afraid of the cold and the terrifying wind. They were called Frost Giants."

"The frost giant is very powerful and is the leader of all giants."

"But no one knows what happened afterwards, and they disappeared. Some say it was done by a dragon, while others say the frost giants flew into space and became space giants. Others say they died in a natural disaster, but because it happened so long ago, there is no definitive conclusion."

Molten Hammer suddenly shuddered and said, "Do you feel that it's very cold here even though there's no wind?"

"It's colder than outside." said Shanhe Oak.

Zhou Leng took a look at the magic watch.

"It's minus 98 degrees, which is indeed more than ten degrees lower than outside." Zhou Leng said. "Should we move forward or crawl back the same way?" Shanhe Oak looked back.

The rear had completely collapsed, with huge rocks piling up.

Zhang Xinglie said: "If it is just rubble, we can slowly clear it away, but if it is a large mountain wall collapse, it will take at least a day to break it up."

"Brother, are you okay?" asked Shanhe Oak.

Shan Heyuan shook his head and said, "There are so many huge boulders. Even if we can clear the exit, it will take many days. We will definitely fail the trial."

"Yes, we must find an exit quickly and leave early. We cannot fail, otherwise those giants will laugh at my brother again!" Shanhe Oak said anxiously.

Zhou Leng said: "At this time, leave as soon as possible, saving your life is the most important thing."

Except for Shanhe Oak, the others nodded slightly.

"But don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Zhang Xinglie asked.

Zhou Leng said: "I also think it's too coincidental, it's weird."

Molten Hammer said, "Who cares about all that? As you humans say, just do it! I like this saying so much."

Black Barrel nodded repeatedly.

"I like it too!" Shanhe Oak's eyes lit up.

Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie and Shan Heyuan, the three smart people, looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Zhou Leng said: "In a situation like this where you have no clue what to do, sometimes rushing in and attacking is indeed the way out, but you have to be more rational. After all, this place is probably the old land of the frost giants, and it is extremely dangerous."

"Long Hammer is in charge of the work, and we are responsible for being cautious." Zhang Xinglie said.

After a brief discussion, everyone walked slowly forward.

The molten hammer with the best dark vision leads the way, followed by the black barrel.

poof...

Rong Hammer slipped and fell to the ground.

"Be careful here. Even though I have such a stable center of gravity, I still fell..."

Before he could finish his words, Shanhe Oak fell to the ice with a thud, sprawled out on its back.

Molten Hammer grinned and stopped hastily.

"The ice here must contain some magical power, otherwise it wouldn't be so slippery." Shanheyuandao.

Zhou Leng looked around the underground passage and saw nothing but ice on all sides.

The team moved forward cautiously, fell many times along the way, and slowly adapted to the smooth ice surface.

Only Zhou Leng didn't fall once.

The team continued to move forward, and slowly, the others huddled slightly as the cold invaded them.

"Put on some clothes, it's a little weirdly cold here," Molten Hammer said.

Shanhe Oak said, "If you are afraid of the cold, wear it. We won't wear it."

"What about you?" Rongchui looked at Zhou Leng.

"It's not necessary for me to wear clothes at this level." Zhou Leng said.

"You are noble and amazing." After saying this, Rong Hammer gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

Slowly, the heat emitted by everyone met the cold air, and condensed into white frost on their hair and beards.

Only Zhou Leng looked normal, without a trace of frost on his hair.

After walking for half an hour, I encountered nothing, but it was getting colder and colder, so I had to take medicine that violated the rules to drive away the chill.

Shan Heyuan whispered, "There's no doubt about it. This place must be related to the frost giants. It's impossible for an ordinary place to have such a severe cold."

Molten Hammer said happily: "So, even if we fail the Giant Trial, as long as we can find treasure or something here, it will be worth the trip?"

"He might also freeze to death here. Think less about the treasure. Too many people have died in treasure hunting." Shanheyuan said.

Zhang Xinglie said, "That's right. If we are prepared, we will definitely get the treasure. Since we don't know this place, don't dream about it. Ten birds in the bush are worth a bird in the hand. The Giant Trial is still the top priority."

Molten Hammer nodded helplessly. Dwarves are natural masters of digging. When faced with such an environment, they instinctively want to dig something out.

After walking for a while, Rong Hammer suddenly raised his hand and everyone stopped immediately.

Everyone held their breath and listened attentively.

The wind blew.

Rong Hammer lay on the ground, listening closely to the sound.

He frowned and asked in a low voice: "Did you hear anything?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"I felt a little weird."

The six people tiptoed and moved forward slowly.

Suddenly, Molten Hammer raised his hand again.

The team stopped again.

Click...

There was the sound of gravel rolling across the ice.
