Chapter 280 [Furnace Tactics] [Fierce Lizard King]

Rumble——

Violent vibrations shook the underground space.

Rock formations, rock walls, caves and other structures appear less stable and safe under this huge force.

Debris continued to fall from above, and even the light from the lava mines in the rock wall became somewhat dim.

What frightened the dwarves even more was the roar one after another coming from the deeper space.

It seemed that if this continued, the entire underground cave would collapse and bury them all inside!

"Is this the sound of the earth?"

Xia En frowned, and his mood was also very solemn.

But the reason for his solemn mood was different from that of the dwarves.

The dwarves may have thought that this was an unexpected disaster, but in Xia En's opinion, this "earth rumbling" was coming for him!

This feeling has no basis, it is just pure intuition, but Xia En is inexplicably 70% to 80% sure.

Obviously, this is related to his status as a "stowaway".

In the [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En is blessed by the will of the [Secret Realm], and naturally has stronger luck than ordinary people, and it is easier to encounter opportunities and treasures.

Even as the degree of exploration increases, this blessing can continue to grow.

This is the benefit of [Secret Realm] will recognition.

But to the [Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En is equivalent to the so-called "extraterritorial demon", and the will of the [Secret Realm] will definitely be hostile and malicious.

He may have noticed that there were traces of "stowaways" in this location, so he triggered an "earth roar" in this area, hoping to kill or force out this little bug.

This surprised and scared Xia En.

On the one hand, he felt that the will of the world in [The Furnace Secret Realm] thought too highly of him, and actually directly used such methods.

On the other hand, Xia En feels that this "earth ringing" is just the beginning!

The world's evil will not cause just one disaster.

As long as Xia En is still in the [Mystical Realm of the Furnace], I am afraid he will be targeted continuously.

But thinking of this, Xia En's first reaction was not fear, but excitement!

Shane has never been a timid person, otherwise he would have found an island to live in seclusion after paying off his debt.

But now, the will of [The Furnace Secret Realm] does not allow Xia En to stay in this world, but instead inspires his rebellious psychology.

If you want to drive me away, I won’t leave!

Xia En also gradually developed an ambition in his heart——

He wants to conquer this [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] just like he conquered the underwater ruins under the sea!

Shane turned to look at Hope below and found that although the dwarf leader was a little panicked, he was far from desperate.

Obviously, if the Warhammer Tribe can continue in [The Crucible], it must have its own trump card.

Sure enough.

Soon, Hope shouted: "Gather at my place!"

As the leader of the Warhammer Tribe, Hope's authority is unquestionable. His roar immediately woke up many dwarves and moved closer to him.

Just a few moments.

The dwarves ran out of their caves, some carrying sledgehammers, and some carrying iron pots on their heads.

This is not to protect one's own property.

But these cold iron tools can bring them an unspeakable sense of security.

Xia En also jumped down from the cave and joined the crowd.

Only then did he realize that the population of the Warhammer tribe was indeed small, only a few hundred people.

And when this disaster that was very likely to destroy the entire tribe struck, the dwarves showed strong cohesion and a considerable degree of order.

The older dwarves carried the younger dwarves on their backs, the men led the women, the strong ones led the disabled ones.

Even when Xia En came out of the cave, some dwarves looked at him, an "amnesia patient," with concern.

It can be seen that they all regard this underground cave as their home.

It also means that Xia En's future abduction plan may not go so smoothly.

Among the crowd, Shane naturally saw Kuhl and his wife.

It's just that for some reason, Kuhl's eyes looked at him a little bit. Instead, the female dwarf he didn't know looked at him with a dark and unclear look.

Xia En was also keenly aware of a hint of well-hidden hostility from the female dwarf.

Combined with his previous speculation, Xia En vaguely guessed something.

However, he didn't say anything, he just came to Hope with the other dwarves and gathered around the huge furnace.

The flames in the furnace were still burning brightly, crackling and exploding from time to time, and emitting hot temperatures.

Shane originally thought that the furnace was just a tool for forging.

But as the dwarves gathered, he soon discovered that this was not the case.

Wait until the dwarves gather around the furnace.

The patriarch, Hope, swung the sledgehammer and hit the big iron stove with all his strength.

clang--

The iron furnace was vibrating, making a magnificent and simple sound, like the sound of a bell.

Immediately afterwards, a deeply hidden secret power rose from the depths of the furnace.

The surface of the huge furnace also gradually lit up with many rough red lines, blooming with flickering brilliance.

The moment the red lines appeared, Xia En immediately felt that the shaking rock walls around him became stable and the vibrations were no longer so violent.

It's as if this space has been reinforced by some special secret power to resist the "earth roar" deep underground.

And Hope's action was just the beginning!

Then, all the dwarves who could hold the warhammers in the surrounding area hammered at the huge furnace.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

One knock after another sounded in this trembling underground space.

Every time the knock was made, the lines on the surface of the furnace became more and brighter.

At this time, Shane gradually saw the shape of those lines.

It was somewhat similar to the magic pattern of [Seven Seas World], but it was like some kind of totem or mural, recording some unique information.

However, due to the urgency of the situation, Shane could not remember it in detail.

At the same time, the unspeakable secret power in the furnace began to undergo more bizarre changes.

It not only vaguely connected this underground space with the furnace, but also melted the aura of the entire Warhammer Tribe into one, thus becoming stronger and stronger.

It felt like all the power of the dwarves in the Warhammer Tribe was thrown into the furnace.

In the forging of the furnace fire, a wonderful sublimation is ushered in.

This power is a bit like the power of faith, but it is obviously different, as if it has also condensed the power of blood and the power of lava ore.

Obviously, this is a unique battle method for the dwarves in the [Furnace World]!

Looking at this scene, Shane couldn't help but be moved, and he also restrained some of his previous contempt in his heart.

The power of a single dwarf may not be very strong, but when the power of the entire tribe is gathered, such a blazing flame bursts out.

More importantly.

Shane also saw from the actions of the dwarves their struggle and tenacity in such a harsh environment.

Like the hard stones on the coast that cannot be damaged by wind or rain, people always inexplicably give rise to some respect.

Moreover, Shane thought a little more.

The essence of the furnace battle method seems to be to melt the collective power into one.

So can the [Black Swan], himself, and the crew on the ship use such a battle method?

Boom——

The roar from deep underground continues.

But the underground space where the Warhammer tribe was located was strangely stable.

The rock walls on all sides were as indestructible as fine steel, standing still, and looked very safe.

Shane stayed in the crowd, intending to wait quietly for the "earth rumbling" to subside.

If it was really like Shane guessed, this earth rumbling stone came because of him, then the Warhammer tribe would have taken a bullet for him.

If he could get through it safely, it would be great.

However, Shane was a little curious: "What is the so-called earth rumbling?"

The dwarf next to him also knew about the amnesia of "Bronzebeard" and explained kindly.

"It is said that there is a [Fire Seed] that has existed since ancient times thousands of meters below our feet."

"Its body is extremely large, and it has almost endless power and life."

"Some people say that the reason why our world is called [Ghana] is because of it!"

"Its name is [Ghana]!"

Hearing this, Shane was shocked.

Although he has only explored a very small area of ​​[The Crucible Secret Realm], he still doesn't know how big this world is.

But a creature that can directly share the same name with a world, just imagining it is enough to understand its horror.

"So, the rumbling is actually its..."

"That's right."

The dwarf beside him nodded and continued: "When [Ghana] moves or breathes, there will be rumbling phenomena."

"However, because [Ghana] is really too big."

"Sometimes, maybe it just moves its head, it may also cause rumbling in a local area."

"At present, this rumbling is actually still small-scale."

"The truly terrifying rumbling is when [Ghana] turns over..."

When saying this, the dwarf's face couldn't help but show obvious fear, muttering.

"Such rumbling has only occurred twice in the history that has been passed down."

After hearing this, Shane further understood the harsh living conditions in [The Crucible Secret Realm].

In such an underground space, the lethality caused by rumbling can only be described as terrible.

It is hard to imagine how the dwarves who first migrated to the [Furnace Secret Realm] survived such a disaster.

And the dwarves' furnace warfare was obviously developed under the pressure of disasters.

Thinking of this, Shane sighed softly: "It's amazing."

"What's so amazing?"

The dwarves beside him were a little puzzled and whispered: "It's just to survive."

Just as Shane and the dwarves were chatting casually, the violent vibrations from deep underground finally began to subside.

Many dwarves also showed smiles of surviving the disaster on their faces.

Fortunately, the intensity of the rumbling was not too high this time, and no one in the Warhammer Tribe was injured or killed.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the dwarves who are used to life and death.

But suddenly.

Boom!

Another extremely close and loud roar exploded in everyone's ears.

Above the dwarves, the rock wall that seemed indestructible before suddenly appeared with thick cracks.

Almost in the blink of an eye, these cracks quickly connected together until they spread to the entire rock wall.

The next moment.

The solid rock wall collapsed in front of everyone, and the rubble fell down one after another.

Fortunately, the flames in the furnace worked again, turning into an invisible barrier to protect the dwarves.

Shane thought it was another wave of rumbling.

But through the hole in the rock above, he saw an extremely huge claw and... an eye with a deep red vertical pupil!

Not only Shane, but the dwarves also saw this behemoth in an instant and cried out in surprise.

"That, that is..."

"It's the Fierce Lizard King!"

"Damn it, it must have been awakened by the rumbling!"

Obviously, the dwarves are not unfamiliar with this creature called [Fierce Lizard King].

Some dwarves have even come into direct contact with it - but that was usually when [Fierce Lizard King] was asleep.

In fact, the appearance of [Fierce Lizard King] was just a coincidence.

It was sleeping soundly in the cave above, but was suddenly awakened by a rumbling sound. Coincidentally, it landed near the Warhammer Tribe.

And since it was awake, it had to eat something.

Coincidentally, it smelled the breath of living things again, and when it raised its claws, it dug a big hole.

At this time, how could the [Fierce Lizard King] not enjoy this group of food that was "delivered to the door"?

In the crowd, Shane had a serious face.

He didn't think the appearance of this big lizard was a coincidence.

The rumbling sound before was indeed just the beginning, and the real danger was still behind!

At this moment.

[Fierce Lizard King] couldn't wait to stretch out his claws, wanting to grab the dwarf below and swallow him directly into his mouth.

Its claws were extremely large, but they just happened to pass through the big hole above.

Then, the [Fierce Lizard King]'s claws hit the barrier condensed by the secret power of the furnace, making a muffled sound.

After the collision, the faces of the dwarves turned pale and their breath was a little weak.

Compared with the rumbling from deep underground, such a close-range attack was even more difficult to resist.

People could even see that the barrier in the air had undergone obvious deformation.

"Roar!"

[The Fiery Lizard King] roared and slapped it again with one claw.

Today, it was determined to eat the meat inside this "turtle shell"!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the collisions, the secret barrier became fainter and fainter, and the lines on the surface of the furnace became dimmer and dimmer.

The flames began to dissipate.

Despair gradually spread among the dwarves.

Some fragile dwarves even began to sob softly.

Facing [Fiery Fire Lizard], they could still find a way to hunt, but facing [Fiery Lizard King], they had no way to deal with it at all.

This was the absolute difference in strength.

But suddenly at this time.

One of the dwarves stood up and walked out of the range of the secret barrier.

Hope couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Bronzebeard, what do you want to do?"
