Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 30: Dragon and Lion Cliff II

While they were talking, a deep roar came from outside the camp, and the two immediately became alert. Then they heard footsteps getting closer and closer, accompanied by humming breathing. Erint took up the weapon, and he whispered to Siegel, "You go and call them all up, there seems to be a beast approaching."

Siegel raised the tent and kicked the soles of his comrades' feet—this was the code to quickly wake up his comrades in the wild camp. He had just finished doing this when he saw a huge shadow rush into the camp and hit the dwarf's flaming warhammer. The shadow and the dwarf rolled together and crashed into the carriage, making a loud noise and smashing the wheels of the carriage.

With the light of the campfire, Siegel noticed that it was a huge black bear, like a moving hill. Its hind legs are thicker than Siegel's waist, and its claws are like daggers, which can easily pull scratches on the ground. It opened its mouth wide, revealing two rows of sharp and sturdy teeth, and a bad breath spread out. The black bear's skin is rough and thick, and the impact just now obviously didn't cause him any damage. The bear shook his head and growled loudly in the middle of the camp.

"You stupid bear, you still want to eat my dwarf? Come here quickly! Let me break your teeth!" Erinte said majestically, wielding the war hammer.

Siegel's flying knife came with the wind and inserted into the black bear's fur, but he didn't see a drop of blood. Seeing this, he drew out the broad sword from his waist, and picked up the burning firewood from the ground with the other hand.

Black Bear ignored Siegel at all, and just stared at Erinte with his eyes. His eyes gradually turned red, and a lot of saliva dripped down the corners of his mouth. The black bear stood upright and rushed towards the dwarf with the momentum of the top.

Erinte did not advance but retreated, shrinking her body into a ball, like a ball of steel, hitting the black bear's soft abdomen heavily. His strong thighs instantly exerted force, like a lever, lifting the huge body of the black bear. Siegel held his long sword high, charged quickly, and slashed towards the bear's head.

A huge gap stretched from the head to the chin, and the black bear was enraged because of the heavy damage, and slammed into it with his upper body. Siegel was bounced off with a force of force, and the training he had received and the armor protected him, so Siegel was only slightly injured. Erinte took the opportunity to flip out from under the bear's stomach, turned around and hit the black bear's hind legs with a hammer. The bones were broken, and the beast immediately lost its balance, slumped and fell to the ground.

The elf rushed out of the tent, quickly bent the bow and shot the arrow, accurately piercing the beast's throat. The black bear struggled to stand up, but was strangled by the high plateau barbarians who had arrived. The barbarian roared, his arms bulging, strong like a steel chain, pressing down on the beast. Erint kept breaking the beast's limbs with a hammer, and Siegel took the opportunity to cut the bear's belly with a broadsword.

The beast struggled for a while, and soon died.

This incident is strange, Erinte said: "I am so old, and I have never heard of black bears attacking the camp so madly."

The barbarian swirled around the black bear, suddenly crouched down, and took out a wet ring-shaped object from the corpse. He wiped the thing from the vest, then called Erinte over and asked, "This seems to belong to your dwarves."

Erinte hurriedly took it over and took a closer look. There was a solemn look on his face. This is the bracer of the armor with the coat of arms of the Mora family. Did they encounter an accident? "Come here, Siegel, and help me cut this black bear completely open. I want to see what he ate?"

They found the dwarf's skeleton in the black bear's stomach pouch, with few traces of grinding. It seems that the black bear was very anxious when it was eating and swallowed the bones whole. Erinte held back the great sadness and tried to find clues from the corpse. In the end, he picked up a bone, pointed to the section and said, "They were cut or chopped, and then they were eaten by bears. . So they definitely didn't die from the beast attack, they were murdered."

Leah went to a high place to send a post after the battle, when she just came back, she patted the dwarf on the shoulder to comfort, and then pointed to the traces of the black bear's charge: "The footprints left by the black bear are very obvious, are we going to him? Look where you came from?"

"Of course, you dare to feed on dwarves, but it's still in the dwarves' territory. I will completely destroy them to avenge my compatriots!"

Everyone was called up, but not everyone was going to trouble the black bear. The coachman had to stay, he had to try to fix the wheel that was hit by the black bear, and the cook helped him clean the carriage and take care of the camp. Two people remained on guard in case any other animals approached. The four adventurers were fully armed. Siegel, who had no dark vision, brought flint and torches, but did not light them. Smear walked at the back of the team, closely following Erinte's footsteps. Leah hid her figure in the darkness, explored the path at the front, and used a whistle to contact the back of the team.

The cave of the black bear is not far from here, hidden in a valley with strange rocks. Leah found the cave and called everyone over. There were still some bones in the cave, as well as the remains of some dwarven armor.

"This is a solitary male bear, and I haven't seen any signs of female bears or cubs around." Leah explained: "Bears rarely hunt at the entrance of their burrows, nor do they have the habit of dragging their bodies back to eat."

"That is to say, these dwarves were killed and then thrown here?" Erinte was furious: "God **** thing! It should be a thousand times hell! Elf, can you trace their traces? ?"

The elf shook his head: "This should have happened a few days ago. The bear's activity affected the traces around it. It's not yet bright, and I can try again when the sun rises."

The dwarf knelt on the ground, clutching the bones of his compatriots tightly in both hands, excruciating pain. Siegel took off the shovel he was carrying, found a clearing outside the cave and began digging graves, ready to bury the bodies. The sound of shovelling reverberated in the silent night, and then there was the sound of sharpening knives. Siegel turned his head to look, Dio was squatting on the ground, sharpening a curved-blade sword with a stone he picked up.

The young man threw a whetstone: "Use this, ordinary stones are useless and will damage the blade."

"You really have everything, you really have the same style as Sir Bill." Barbarian grinned.

"It's still some time before dawn, what are you doing in such a hurry to sharpen your knife?"

"Just wait and see, we'll leave soon."

Sure enough, the dwarf stood up after a while, holding the corpse and placing it in the shallow pit. "Siegel, don't dig for now, just cover it with soil. Let's go and avenge them, and come back and clean up slowly."

"Didn't Master Leia have to wait until dawn to track the enemy?"

"Silly boy, I was just excited and forgot about the simplest things. There are only watchtowers guarded by dwarves, and there must be more clues there. The good boy of the Mora family can't just die in vain!"

Several people returned to the camp, and the dwarves also took advantage of this time to organize their emotions and began to issue a series of orders. He asked the coachman to change the four-wheeled carriage into two, and let the messenger ride to the top of Mora, mobilize the battle group of the gem clan at the fastest speed, and then return to this area.

Erinte took the elf Leia, the barbarian Dio and Siegel, fully armed, carrying enough food and water for 5 days, and started walking from here. Carefully, they remained hidden in the shadows of rocks and mountains. After leaving the drag of the carriage, everyone moved faster.

They started their journey before dawn, and they didn't rest at all. They just ate some simple dry food during the journey. By noon, the sun shone dazzlingly from overhead, and there was no shadow big enough around to cover their whereabouts, and they stopped to rest. At this time, the watchtower has appeared in the field of vision of several people.

When it was built, the observation field of the tower was fully considered, so it was built on a high point on a small hillside, just above the heads of the four adventurers. Although the sun was dazzling, several people found that smoke was slowly wafting out of the windows of the watchtower.

"The boys of the Mora family must have all been killed. This watchtower was built without a chimney, so it is not allowed to set fires in it."

"How do we get up?" Dio probed to look at the terrain, UU read www.uukanshu. Com squatted down again to discuss: "It will take a while to climb to this height, especially you Erinte."

"This watchtower is relatively simple, with wooden doors on the side, unlike the ones on the plains that have to go through underground passages. There is a road to the west of the tower, and it is there for daily entry and exit and delivery of supplies. There are no rocks or plants on the road. Shade, but we can take advantage of the special environment here." The dwarf arranged for everyone: "After noon every day, the sun will be blocked by the city wall and mountains, so the west side of the hillside where the tower is located is in shadow, while the east side is still very bright. . Even our dwarf eyes can't adjust to this contrasting light for a while, and can't see what's on the road. That's when it's in our favor, and we can try to sneak up."

"Speed ​​determines everything, no matter what happens, you can't stop." The dwarf concluded.

"But don't make too much noise." Leah glared at Dio: "Especially you, don't use a battle cry! Do you remember the stupid thing you did in the Kemo Mine?"

"Can't I just bite a flying axe?" The barbarian did what he said, shaking his head proudly for the good idea he came up with.

Everyone took off all the weight that was not used in the battle, and brought nothing but weapons and armor. Erinte wrapped her feet in a cloth bag to reduce her voice. Elf Leah was lying on the ground, looking at the passage mentioned by the dwarf with her eyes, scanning every inch of the ground. Although Erint said that there were never traps there, who knows if the guy who occupied the watchtower would do something.

"Remember to leave a living hole." The dwarf said through gritted teeth, "I want to know who ordered it."
