Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 245
"My lord, what the hell are these things?" the huntress screamed, and the Nord skipped nimbly over a piece of - God, these faintly glowing things, were - the ovaries of these monsters - — deftly dodging the snapping jaws of the strange monsters that pursued her.

Islam was barely able to heed Solenie's plight.He himself was deeply involved.One of the monsters lunged at him, and Israeln dodged to the left while quickly reaching out to grab the monster's jaw and push it aside before it could bite his cheek.

The instructions of the mysterious demigod were not wrong, they were heading straight to the enemy's lair, but he did not say that their road was not that smooth.

They kept going down those winding, seemingly endless tunnels—and then they came to a weird cave.

Here, the Dwemer-style walls and floors are almost covered in stalagmites, or horns.All that was exposed in the air was some sort of disgusting smell and a creepy rustling and rattling sound.In the darkness, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at them, trying to drag them into the darkness of despair.

They moved forward cautiously - it was very difficult, they didn't know what was lurking in the dark, they had to avoid the disgusting slime on the ground, and they had to worry about whether they would trigger traps or something.

Everyone was frightened and followed the magic swordsman—the Breton man released another insight spell, and then carefully staggered forward in the dark with the magic vision brought by the spell.

However, the attack still broke out suddenly.

"They are Chalus beasts, be careful, the saliva they spray is poisonous, and if you can't cut off their heads directly, I don't recommend you get too close!"

Duran's voice echoed loudly in the cave.Israeln charged at the foe, slashing his sword backhand in an attempt to decapitate it.The monster coiled into a ball and had already estimated the direction of his attack, but it didn't move fast enough, and finally failed to avoid the blow.

Israeln's sword fell under the jaws of the rock-hard monster.It screamed in pain, and Israeln snorted, but his expression was extremely serious.Because he saw that his broadsword had pierced through the thick skin.The enemy's jaw fell to the ground with a bang, and a disgusting green liquid gushed out.

But the enemy withdrew his head and dodged to the side. Islahn's sword pierced too deep and had no time to draw it back.The thing's bloody head slammed into Israel's broad chest, knocking him back a few steps.

Israel only felt dizzy, his eyes were dim, and he could hardly see.It seemed that something exploded in his chest, and a painful feeling surged through his body.

Next to Israeln, a strange-looking creature bit the Breton man's leg.He jumped high to avoid the attack, but landed on something round.The half-elf slipped and almost fell, and he immediately spread his arms to keep his balance.As he stepped onto the stone slab, the monster's second bite came.

Xi Lang fell to the ground and rolled over to the right, while the monster continued to pounce from behind him as if suddenly blind. "Sorini!" shrieked the half-elf, and then muttered under his breath to avoid the other bug that continued to lunge at him.

"Psychokinesis!" The half-elf uttered a spell, and the monster was lifted up by an invisible force, revealing its relatively soft belly.

The long sword in the half-elf's hand cut through the monster's abdomen, and then rolled to the side, avoiding the pouring filth and viscera.

The monster attacking the huntress let out a sharp and piercing roar, and was stopped by the one-eyed assassin.He magically pulled out a short machine crossbow, said with a bitter face, "The web weaver must be punishing me!" Then he shot the sharp crossbow.

The crossbow arrow accurately hit one of the monster's compound eyes, and the poisoned arrow went straight into the Chalus beast's brain.The monster screamed before dying, and rushed towards the assassin ferociously.

Nargis turned sharply and wiped past the left side of the Chalus beast, replacing the machine crossbow in his hand with a sharp dagger. "Praise the Weaver of the Web! My lord is holy!" the assassin screamed strangely, the dagger pierced through the crevice of the monster's tough horny shell delicately, and drew a big line along the direction of his steps. mouth.

The female Nord who fell from the sky came face to face with another Charus.Looking at the numerous icy compound eyes in the darkness, Solini couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.She frantically grabbed one of the monster's jaws and jacked it up.Then he took the opportunity to jump on its back.The Dwemer magic sword presented by Turka easily pierced the monster's head made of tough horniness.

The monster let out a horrifying scream of agony, and the huntress dragged her long sword just past the Chalus's eyes, and she was delighted to see it burst open with a gushing stream of blood. A dark green, water-like decaying substance.A strong smell, with a pungent salty smell, quickly filled the entire tunnel.

The thing twitched violently again in Solenie's grasp.Then fell down.

She followed the monster's swing and jumped off its back, taking the opportunity to distance itself from it.She stepped on a slippery patch, a step further than she expected, but regained her balance just in time.

"Islane!" Solini shouted sharply.

As the followers of Stendhal were discovered by these monsters entrenched here, there were countless clicks and clicks of opening and closing of the mouth parts and moving sounds of the feet from the dark cave.

These monsters looked like centipedes magnified many times, or cockroaches, or thick-bodied bugs.Their strange skin is incredibly hard (although Islahn managed to stab them several times, but it was not fatal), and the skin has the color and texture of the surrounding rock.From the front end of their sinuous body close to the knobby head, there are faintly two jaws sticking out, and they swim like a snake, with incomparable dexterity.

Beneath the dull black eyes (two of them) is a maw of astonishing proportions, filled with triangular fangs.From the light shining on those teeth, Israeln knew that they must be extremely sharp.

What's more, they seem to be able to spit out some kind of highly poisonous saliva.If the ascetic monk hadn't reminded him early, the others would definitely suffer a big loss.

Vamer raises them as pets and killing tools. They hunt together with their masters, sneak attacking pedestrians and business travelers on the surface, and are the helpers of this family to crush other creatures and groups in the dark underground world.

Turka may have known such a way in the broken soul fragments of Molag Bal, but at that time they had no other choice...

Israelen straightened his body, and his vision began to gradually return.There are so many monsters, they simply cannot handle them.He stepped over the jawless, dying Chalus.In the darkness, more Chalus beasts flooded towards them.

"run!"

The Redguard held the talisman around his neck with his left hand, calling out the holy name of the Lord of Justice in his heart, then he clenched the long sword in his hand and stabbed at the slippery ground.

A group of blazing golden light suddenly burst out.

The Redguard once again called on Stendhal's power—thanks to the fact that the Lord of Justice has not given up on his believers—accompanied by Islan's powerful divine spell, the Chalus beast in the darkness was suddenly erupted All the rays of light were blown away, hit the stone wall, broke their limbs and heads, and turned into fly ash-in the darkness, more Chalus beasts rushed towards the place bathed in Stendar's divine power in anger and fear. The few people in the room made all kinds of hissing sounds, and the huge jaws in their mouths kept beating and biting.

But whether it was Solini, the others or Nargis, they both knew that this was only temporary, and when the power of the Red Guards died, they would definitely die in the end.

"This way!"

Xi Lang said loudly.

The others ran in big strides in the direction pointed by the half-elf.

While escaping, a winged Chalus beast suddenly swooped down from the air, biting the huntress fiercely with its huge jaws.

Solini was turned over by this mutated Chalus beast, screamed, and slammed into a stone wall beside her.

"No!"

The ascetic yelled furiously, and threw out the heavy battle ax in his hand.The tomahawk drew a beautiful arc in the air, and slammed into the winged Chalus beast that was about to bite the huntress' waist and fly away.A shallow wound was drawn on the body of this Charus beast.

Nargis also had a stern face, the exquisitely crafted small machine crossbow appeared in his hand again, and shot at one of the monster's wings.

The winged Charus let out a frightening cry, dropped the huntress in its mouth, shook its injured wings, and tried to escape.

"Psychokinesis!"

The half-elf panted and uttered the last spell.The spell holds it in midair.This ferocious winged monster struggled desperately, and the huge feedback force made Xi Lang a little overwhelmed.

Israeln stepped forward quickly, and cut off the head of the mutated Chalus beast with a sword.

The ascetic monk who threw out his battle ax quickly rushed towards Solini who was lying on the ground.As a result, Duran's hands were covered with the girl's blood, and he gently helped her to lie down again. "She needs treatment."

In the darkness, Yislan's body exuded a golden light, making the Redguards look like a golden god.He quickly turned his head to look at the way he had come, only to find that in the darkness, there were countless clicking and clicking sounds following closely behind.

"Xi Lang!"

"Follow me," the half-elf yelled.

Duran and Nargis picked up the female Nord and started running staggeringly.Their boots were knee-deep in the mud, which splattered everywhere.Rats scatter before them, and beetles and cockroaches on the walls fly away in terror under the light of glowing Islahn.Occasionally they could feel something brush against the soles of their feet, which must belong to some kind of creature hidden in the mud.But all try not to think about what that is.

"There, look there...there's a door!"

Israel stepped forward quickly, and then he found that what Xi Lang said was not entirely correct.With the help of Stendhal's power, what his sharp eyes saw was not a door, but a huge bronze door—the difference between the two is that ordinary doors can be dismantled violently, even if it is an iron door, but The bronze door in front of them was like a big mountain, blocking their way.

Ah, you ask how big it is!

Israeln had to tilt his head ninety degrees to see the top door frame.

And it doesn't look like it's rusted or corroded. Its two doors are carved with some kind of vines and stars, which sink into the high top of the door.Standing in front of it, the Red Guards looked so insignificant.

Israeln pushed, but the door wouldn't budge.

"It's locked," said the Brighton man in despair.

"Elves are always so unreliable!" the assassin muttered loudly, he put down the huntress, pushed the two of them away, and groped on the gate. "Even if it's only half blood!"

Xi Lang took a breath, and decided to bypass the one-eyed thief's insult for the sake of life and death.

"hurry up!"

Israel could hear the noise behind him getting louder.Those monsters who were dazed by hunger and slaughter could no longer hold back. They longed for the flesh and blood of the Redguards and their companions, longed to embed their huge mouthparts into the soft flesh of the prey who dared to trespass into their territory. Thirst to kill.

But they were not under the control of Molag Bal, but their instinct for killing and hunting made them persistently track behind Islaen and the others.

"Don't rush!" Nargis also shouted loudly, he took out his tool, inserted it into a small hole that should be a keyhole, and turned it carefully with sweat profusely. "This is the ruins of the Dwemer, not the gate of your house! Do you think any whore can easily break in!"

Israel's eyes widened.

Although he knew that this scene was really inappropriate, Xi Lang couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Crack."

"Open!" the thief—no, the assassin said pleasantly.It saved him, and of course everyone.Islam pushed hard on the heavy bronze door.

Kaka.

The sound of the door shaft turning sounded.

A gap appeared.

A gust of wind blew violently on everyone's faces.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but an evil grin suddenly appeared in everyone's heart.Islam and the others all shuddered.

"Is there hope in the future?" The half-elf couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"It's better than staying here and turning into a pile of shit!" Nargis shrugged and laughed.He pointed to the dark cave, where countless Chalus beasts were making various rattling noises violently. "Of course, if you mind, you can discuss it with them." After speaking, he dodged and was the first to rush into the corridor behind the door.

***
"Is Solenie okay?" Israel said calmly, but his voice was trembling slightly, full of concern.

The huntress was lying next to a pile of stalagmite roots, breathing hard like a drowning girl.The ascetic knelt beside her, praying.With one hand he held the Redguard's talisman, while with the other he pressed expertly to the female Nord's wound.

Solini's eyes stared blankly at the darkness above them, twitching in pain.

Ascetic Duran's voice rose into a chanted prayer, and Islahn thought he could see a thin, golden light around the finger she was pressing hard on the wound.Soon, the blood slowly flowing from the female Nord's chest stopped.The wound also gradually healed.

"Her wounds are healed." Duran raised his palm and uttered the last prayer, ending her prayer, "She will be fine."

Nargis glanced at it and murmured, "She was almost eaten..."

As he said that, he bowed slightly to the ascetic monk——for the ascetic monk who might save his life in the next adventure, the one-eyed assassin did not hesitate to show a little respect.

They finally escaped from that hellish cave.

The huntress' injury was healed in time under the magic of the ascetic monk, and the heavy bronze door also isolated the enemy from chasing and killing - after all, those monsters would not open the door.

Resting her head on a smooth stone, Solini returned the friar's weak smile.

Duran smiled warmly, then turned to look at Israel, "We need to stay here for at least a few hours, Israel..."

The Redguard didn't answer, but listened intently in a daze.

Behind the bronze door that saved their lives, countless crackling, crackling, biting sounds of mouthparts, and angry impact sounds continued to be heard.The half-elves with the keenest hearing had to cover their ears with their hands to keep their eardrums from bursting.

"We don't have that much time."

The Redguard let out a long breath.Say to your companions, "Leave Solini, and all move on."
