"This wine is excellent, it gives me strength!!!" The dwarf craftsman praised after drinking Lin Mo's wine, clearly quite satisfied.

"This looks like a thatch, doesn't it? Brother Lin, what is this...?" Li Hong asked, his eyes wide.

He was so curious about this that he couldn't resist.

"I found these in the supermarket. I have several boxes left. If you like them, I'll give you a few bottles next time," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Since Lin Mo knew the strategy for the level 2 otherworld map "The Dwarf's Treasure," he naturally made preparations in advance.

This strong liquor for your beloved craftsman can be prepared in advance.

If you don't bring your own alcohol, there is a tavern on this map, but it's hard to find, and it would take several hours to go there and back. Preparing in advance can save you that time.

After all, the time it takes to clear the otherworld map is also related to the final reward.

He gave the four weapon fragments to the dwarf craftsman, and then a series of clanging sounds could be heard from inside. It was clear that the dwarf craftsman, in high spirits, was working very hard and full of energy.

Lin Mo also took this opportunity to mention some precautions for the upcoming events.

"Actually, the difficulty of the otherworld map is variable and will be adjusted according to the number of lord heroes entering. We have five people entering, so the difficulty is the highest." These words made Xu Jiang's expression change.

He had previously felt that the enemy's forces were too overwhelming in the first wave of attacks by enemy heroes.

Now we know why.

It's because they chose the highest difficulty level.

This is nobody's fault but theirs.

"Hey, Brother Lin, why didn't you say so sooner?" Xu Jiang said helplessly.

Lin Mo smiled: "High difficulty has its advantages, the rewards are also high, don't worry."

Li Hong chimed in, "That's right, Teacher Xu, what are you worried about? Brother Lin is here, he'll definitely be able to get through."

"The dwarf kingdom is underground. We will go through several battles, which are basically attacks by enemy heroes. The closer we get to the treasure location, the more they will attack us even if they can't beat us. In the end, we need to defeat a necromancer. This final battle is very troublesome. The enemy has at least 100 lich kings, and their heroes are also very strong..." As soon as Lin Mo said this, Xu Jiang and the others looked serious.

The Lich King is a Tier 5 unit of the Necropolis faction, an undead unit with ranged attacks, and possesses the special ability "Cloud of Death".

The Cloud of Death can kill creatures outside of machines, structures, and undead within a certain range.

That's a whole bunch of them.

One hundred Lich Kings, plus the enemy hero's four-dimensional attributes, would be incredibly devastating.

With the limited number of troops they have, if the opponent makes the first move, basically no one can withstand it.

"Besides that necromancer, there are other enemy heroes to deal with, so my plan is that I'll handle the necromancer alone, while you guys team up to deal with the other enemy heroes. One reason for this arrangement is that my units are also undead, and the Lich King's Death Cloud is ineffective against undead."

"This is Lin Mo's plan."

Of course, besides the fact that the skeleton soldiers are immune to the Cloud of Death, there are supposedly other rewards for killing the necromancer alone.

Lin Mo didn't know the specifics yet, but he was determined to get his hands on this reward.

While they were discussing this, the dwarf craftsman had already successfully fused the four weapon fragments and completed the repair of the "Dwarf King's Warhammer," a key item for clearing the otherworld map.

When this legendary weapon came into Lin Mo's hands, he was immediately shocked by its additional effects.

"So strong!"

This was Lin Mo's genuine reaction.

[Dwarf King's Warhammer, Hero Attack +6, All Troops Magic Resistance +20%, Story Item, Cannot be taken out of its original map]

This thing is really good, but unfortunately I can't take it with me.

But with this, the final battle will be a bit easier.

In this way, the attack power of the lord hero can be reflected in the type of troops he leads, and the killing power of the skeletons will be increased to another level.

Having obtained the key item, Lin Mo and his companions headed straight for the entrance to the underground world.

The entrance gate opens after the key containing the Dwarf King's Warhammer is inserted.

When Lin Mo actually stepped inside and saw the magnificent dwarf kingdom in the underground world, even he was shocked by what he saw.

"Wow, how big is down there?" Li Hong couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

He had worked in real estate before, but clearly, the difficulty of building this underground kingdom was far beyond his imagination.

The winding stone steps connect to many areas below, where some buildings blend perfectly with the underground rock walls, and some sculptures showcase the former glory and splendor of this place.

But clearly, this underground dwarf kingdom has fallen.

The underground kingdom is permeated with the aura of death.

The sudden sound of horses' hooves indicated that an enemy hero was lurking in the shadows, watching them.

"This place is so big and complicated," Zhao Yanbin muttered, implying that he didn't know the way.

"Just follow me. There are many traps down here, and to be honest, there aren't any special resources or treasures. Let's just go straight for the heart of the enemy." Lin Mo planned to carry out the plan he had previously devised.

The routes in the underground kingdom may seem chaotic, but in reality, some hidden clues can be found if you look closely.

It consists of statues of all sizes.

Above are various heroes and sages from the dwarf kingdom.

The postures vary, but they all involve pointing in a certain direction with the finger.

And the direction of this finger indicates the correct path.

Of course, Lin Mo knew this from the guide, as this was his first time visiting this place.

As they traveled, the sound of horses' hooves never ceased. Lin Mo told the others not to pay attention, as the enemy heroes' goal was to lure them over and then launch their own attacks.

Because of Lin Mo, they were able to reach a large hall deep within the underground dwarf kingdom without any problems.

This is where the treasure is located.

"Uninvited guests are not welcome here. You are given a chance to correct your mistakes: leave immediately, or you will face the judgment of death!"

A voice came from the front hall.

Naturally, nobody listened to him.

Lin Mo rode at the front on horseback. At this moment, several enemy heroes appeared around them. In addition, in the main hall in front, there was also an enemy hero riding a skeletal horse, wearing a black cloak, whose appearance was not clear, but whose whole body was deathly.

"This is the necromancer."

Without hesitation, Lin Mo spurred his horse and charged forward.

Since they had already discussed it beforehand, Xu Jiang, Li Hong, and Zhao Yanbin all stood still.

This way, the original chaotic battle can be turned into two battles: Lin Mo and the necromancer fight one against one, while Xu Jiang and the other two deal with the remaining enemy heroes.

Without further ado, the battle begins.

Lin Mo stared intently at the units the opponent had deployed: 800 skeletons, 400 zombies, 200 ghosts, 150 vampire kings, and 100 lich kings.

"It's alright!" This matches the information Lin Mo knew.

This necromancer may seem to have few units, but he possesses extremely strong hero stats and magic.

"Heroes, this is the most terrifying rule of the new world."

For truly formidable heroes, the number of units is not the most important factor.

It's fair to say that if Xu Jiang and his group were to face this necromancer, their chances of winning would be slim, perhaps only around 30% to 40%.

But my win rate is twice as high as theirs.

The reason, besides the number of units, is that I am also leading the Necropolis units, so some of the opponent's terrible magic is ineffective against me.

"It's said that this necromancer's specialty is [Death Ripple], a level two earth magic with terrifying destructive power. However, it can only kill living beings and is ineffective against undead units. So, you're unlucky to have run into me!"
