Chapter 704 Dwarf Mine
Lonely Mountain City, Victory Square,

The battle between the Dwarf King and the Shadow Giant entered a fierce stage without any probing.

Seeing this, the dwarf king did not retreat, but took one step further.

He used his hands like hooks to tightly clasp the back of the shadow octopus monster.

Preston then exerted force suddenly, trying to knock him to the ground.

The shadow octopus monster felt the huge pressure on its back and began to twist its body frantically, trying to throw the dwarf king off.

However, Preston stood firmly on its back like a towering mountain, not moving at all.

Taking advantage of the shadow octopus monster's struggle, Preston launched a counterattack.

He swung his strong arms and smashed them hard on the shadow monster.

Every blow was like a huge rock collapsing, causing the shadow octopus monster's body to tremble.

Before the monster could resist, the dwarf king found the right opportunity.

He grabbed a tentacle with his hands like a pair of pliers, and then he tore it hard, pulling the entire tentacle off the body of the shadow octopus monster.

Black smelly liquid splashed everywhere, and the shadow octopus monster let out an even more shrill scream.

There was no probing in the battle between the two, and they started a head-on confrontation directly.

After suffering a great loss, the shadow octopus monster seemed to realize its disadvantage and began to fight back with all its might.

Its remaining tentacles danced wildly, trying to seize any flaw in the dwarf king.

The huge tentacles hit the surrounding golden light walls frantically. Although the light walls did not break, they caused the entire city to shake for a moment.

It is enough to show the power of this shadow monster.

However, as an experienced fighter, Preston was able to skillfully avoid the attacks and find opportunities to counterattack.

During the battle, the dwarf king seized the opportunity and tightly grasped one of the thick tentacle of the shadow octopus monster with both hands.

He gathered all his strength and shouted loudly.

The shadow octopus monster trembled in pain and its body began to gradually lose balance.

boom!
The shadow monster was thrown to the ground by the Dwarf King, and the sound spread throughout the Lonely Mountain City.

The dwarf king pursued the victory, jumping to avoid the attacks of the shadow octopus monster, while constantly looking for opportunities to launch a counterattack.

Every attack was precise and powerful. The giant axe in his hand flashed with bluish-white lightning, directly cutting off the octopus monster's attacks.

The shadow monster struggled and fought back, but was severely suppressed by Preston and had no chance of resistance.

On a rooftop not far from Victory Square,
Li Si and Caleb stood here, looking at the battle taking place in Victory Square.

Li Si specially cast an invisibility spell, and all the dwarves passing by here did not notice the two of them.

Looking at the black tentacles being torn off one by one by the Dwarf King, Li Si's eyes were full of amazement.

It was obvious that the shadow monster that had gathered together had already reached legendary level strength, but it had no chance of resisting in front of Preston.

Throughout the entire battle, the shadow monster was completely suppressed by Preston and had no chance to resist at all.

Moreover, Li Si was sure that Preston had not shown his true strength at all.

In the bloody battle in the abyss in his previous life, Li Si had witnessed with his own eyes how powerful this man was.

With the blessing of two dwarven semi-artifacts, the dwarf king Preston even killed two legendary demons who had just arrived in the Gaia world with one blow.

The shadow monster before him was nothing to him.

Li Si could also roughly understand Preston's thoughts.

He wanted to re-establish the prestige of the Dwarf Court by demonstrating powerful strength and absolute suppression.

It is easy to kill the shadow monster directly, but it cannot bring a more direct impact to the people of the kingdom.

In other words, he was making up for the destruction of the ruling order of the Dwarf Kingdom due to the attack by the evil god's followers.

For many supernatural forces, this is the most important thing to maintain their rule.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Si now.

"Let's go."

After thinking about it, Li Si turned around and prepared to leave, and said to Caleb beside him.

"Leave now?"

Caleb was a little surprised, pointed at the battle in Victory Square in the distance and said:
"It's not over there yet, is it appropriate for us to just leave?"

"In this case, do you still want to help?"

Li Si shook his head and said:

"The Dwarf King could have resolved the battle long ago. He is just demonstrating the power and authority of the Dwarf King now."

"As for the remaining shadow monsters in Lonely Mountain City, the Dwarf King's Court and the Temple have more than enough manpower to deal with them. We don't need to help at all."

"Is that so? Then where are we going?"

Caleb asked as he caught up with Lees.

"Go to the underground mine area."

Li Si pointed in the direction opposite to Victory Square and said:
"I can feel that those shadow monsters just now came out of the mine."

"Their lair should also be in that place."

Just now when those shadow monsters appeared from the mine exit, Li Si noticed them at the first moment.

This is consistent with his guess.

For the evil god's believers who want to cause trouble, what place could be more suitable than the mining area of ​​Lonely Mountain City.

If the mountain range where Lonely Mountain is located was not protected by the dwarf gods, it would be difficult to destroy. Those evil gods' believers could even blow up the mines and cause the entire Lonely Mountain to collapse.

Even so, the mines beneath Lonely Mountain City provide a very suitable place for the evil god's followers to plan their conspiracies.

Even though the Dwarf King's Court often sent out teams of extraordinary people to clean up the mine area, they were unable to completely eliminate the evil god's believers hiding in the mine.

However, this time, Li Si had a chance to attack the opponent's lair directly.

The other party released a lot of shadow monsters from the mine.

Although after those shadow monsters left the mine area, the aura left behind was quite thin.

Even a legendary warrior would have difficulty tracking the traces left by the shadow monster.

But for Li Si, it was not a problem at all.

As a member of the World Tree, he possesses the special ability [Gaia Guardian] expertise.

In addition to being able to gain extremely high combat enhancement when facing enemies in the evil camp, Li Si also has a very keen perception of these evil forces.

It is not difficult to find their lair by following the traces left by these shadow monsters.

Seeing this, Caleb was curious as to why Li Si was so sure.

But looking at Li Si's affirmative eyes, he didn't say much.

After all, the World Tree Blessed Ones in his camp would definitely not betray him.
Caleb followed Li Si and headed towards the nearest mine.

In the mines of Lonely Mountain City,
Stepping into this mine dug by the dwarves is like stepping into an underground world forgotten by time.

Because it was dug out by dwarves, the top of the cave appears a little low.

It can accommodate dwarves to move freely, but most areas can only accommodate ordinary humans to walk forward with their bodies bent. The road in the cave is winding and every rock wall is engraved with the traces of time.

The rock walls on both sides are like natural galleries, inlaid with various minerals, quietly emitting a faint light.

It not only illuminates the way ahead, but also adds a bit of dreaminess and fantasy to this dark cave.

There is a fresh scent in the air, and it doesn't seem dirty.

Occasionally, the crisp sound of water drops falling on rocks echoes in this quiet space, adding a sense of ethereality and remoteness.

At this time, the mine, which was rarely visited, welcomed new guests.

In other words, this is a team that shouldn't be here.

This was a team composed entirely of elves. Each elf was wearing fairly sophisticated equipment. Everyone was holding a weapon and was vigilantly alert to the situation around them.

At this time, they stopped at a fork in the mine.

No one acted on their own. A heroic elf girl in the team was arranging people to mark on the rock wall nearby.

Each elf in the team has its own duties, and it looks like a very well-trained team.

At this time, the elf girl came to the middle of the team and said respectfully to the elves in front of her:

"Your Majesty Philip, which direction should we go?"

"Xandel."

[The Almighty Hand] Philip Scalia glanced at Chandelle, hesitated for a moment, and pointed to the passage on the right.

“It should be this side.”

".Yes, I understand."

Xiandel felt a little helpless, but still bowed respectfully and said.

After receiving the "request" from the dwarf king, they had been walking in the mine for some time.

But no useful clues have been found.

Especially when passing a fork in the mine just now, Xiandel also noticed a mark dedicated to "Nature's Wrath".

It was obvious that they were now taking a detour in the mine.

Chandel was somewhat skeptical whether His Majesty Philip could really find the right path.

Don't let it happen that in the end, they can't even find the way out of the mine?
Xiandaer was a little worried.

As the leader of this [Nature's Wrath] elf team, she is naturally responsible for all her companions.

But even so, she couldn't question the decision of a legendary monarch.

Even though she is now much stronger than before, she is still a long way from becoming a legend.

As a legendary alchemist, Philip naturally noticed the confusion on Chandel's face.

In fact, he was really a little disoriented.

Although he could distinguish the traces of breath left by the shadow monsters, but now in Philip's perception, the entire mine passage was full of those breaths.

He could only barely tell the direction of advance by the strength of the aura in each area.

Now it seems that this method may not be very effective.

Although he had a map of the mine that he had obtained from the Dwarf King's Court in advance, it was obvious that the evil god's followers were hiding deep in the mine.

The map is no longer of any use to them now.

Philip had a headache.

If he had known this, he would not have agreed to take on this troublesome matter.

At that time, the envoys from the Dwarf Kingdom came to the Elf Kingdom and accused the Elf King Haddad of the legendary day when the elves attacked wantonly in Lonely Mountain City. Haddad was completely paralyzed.

There is no doubt at all, this must have been the work of those evil god believers!

Now that the Elf Kingdom has not resolved its own troubles, Haddad will not allow anyone to provoke the Dwarf Kingdom.

What's more, the characteristics of the Sun Elves are so obvious, how could they cause trouble without any disguise!

But Haddad also knew that this matter was definitely not initiated by Preston.

If it was a lie, it would be too easy to be exposed.

If the Dwarf Kingdom wanted to provoke, it would not be in Lonely Mountain, but on the border between the two countries.

Haddad understood that with the vision of the dwarf king Preston, he would definitely see through this.

The reason for sending people to the Elf Kingdom was just a gesture.

The gesture of dragging the Elf Kingdom into the water!
No matter what, since the legendary sun elf has appeared, your Elf Kingdom must step forward.

Otherwise, if any legend came along and pretended to be a Sun Elf, there was no way the Elf Kingdom would be able to handle it.

Moreover, since the other party can imitate the breath of the sun elf so realistically, he must have some special means.

It is most appropriate to let the elves who are good at magic do things like finding people.

But Haddad considered that for such a matter, the elf legend must come forward.

And given the bad deeds committed by the "Sun Elves" in Lonely Mountain City before, it would be inappropriate for the legend of the Aloloti family to come forward. It would be bad if it exacerbated the conflict.

So Haddad sent people to the Emerald City to ask the legendary alchemist Philip [The Almighty Hand] to come forward and resolve the matter.

Although there were some hidden conflicts between the Emerald City and the Elf Capital, this was a major matter involving the elves, so Philip did not refuse.

For this purpose, the Emerald City Elf Council specially asked [Nature's Wrath] to arrange the most elite team to accompany Philip to Lonely Mountain City.

After several years of fighting, the elven warriors of [Nature's Wrath] are no longer the same as before and their strength has greatly improved.

More importantly, he is different from other elf professionals in the Elf Kingdom.

The elf warriors of [Nature's Wrath] are more familiar with the rules of the outside world, and will not lose their way like ordinary elves once they leave the Elf Forest.

Philip knew that the "order" from the Dwarf King just now was actually a condition for resolving the matter.

He also wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible, but now he didn't know what to do.

As a legendary alchemist, he has many alchemical tools for detection.

But now it seems to be of no use.

For a while, he could only lead this team of elves around in the mine.

This can't go on like this!
Philip led the [Nature's Wrath] team for a while and then stopped decisively.

If I continue to wander around aimlessly like this, wasting time is no big deal.

If you fall into the trap set by those evil believers, you will be in trouble.

Philip is confident in his own strength, but the elves of [Nature's Wrath] are different from him.

If something really happened, he couldn't just watch these elves die.

Not to mention that he would feel uncomfortable, the leader of [Nature's Wrath], Li Sike, would definitely come to trouble him.

After thinking about it, Philip decided to let Xiandel and others return immediately along the same route.

He prepared to explore on his own and make a final attempt.

At this time, a figure appeared beside Philip and put his right hand on his shoulder.
