Vol 11 Chapter 82: balance

"Kids, take the rope ladder, we go straight down the cliff." Gilliam shouted loudly toward the dwarf of the expedition.
After the expedition team and the Qin Lun four people merged, the first little difficulty in front of them was how to get down to the woodland from the current cliff.
The road that the dwarf used to pass this cliff did not climb straight down, but to go around a long mountain road. However, Glimm brought ample manpower this time, smashed a few hundred meters of rope ladders, and with revenge, he did not want to detour again.
From the cliff where they are located to the plain of the Woodland, it is about a hundred meters high. The dwarves hang down the four rope ladders and start to hang down. Qin Lun had something in his heart, a little behind, and he was next to Lorraine.
"Lorraine, what did you confirm by the beginning, can this underground crack lead to the Mi Yinfang mining area?" Qin Lun asked cautiously.
Lorraine shrugged. Since Glimam had already agreed to Qin Lun's participation in the expedition team, he put aside his concerns. The information that could not be revealed with Qin Lun can now be said without any scruples.
"Is that the case?". This answer is beyond the expectation of Qin Lun, the silver-haired elf asked, "But the ridge of the world traverses the northern part of the mainland, almost tens of thousands of kilometers long, and there are countless underground veins. You can confirm that the nearby veins were previously used by the secret silver hall. Has it been mined?".

Yes!
Lorraine laughed heartily.
Our dwarfs are familiar with the veins and are familiar with the forests of your elves. The large veins that have been mined will have a constant impact on the rock formations within a certain range. It has been destroyed. The forest is replanted on the trees, and your elves can see it at a glance?"
"This is true!" Qin Lun said nothing, even if the forest that has been extensively felled is replanted, its ecological environment will take a long time to recover, not to mention the elves, even ordinary people can see.
"The Warhammer family where the Dwarf King is located has returned from the Icewind Valley. Their understanding of the veins near the Silver Chamber is like a palm line." Lorraine said with a smile. "Although the existing shield dwarves can't remember the dark areas." The roads in the Mithril Hall mining area, but with the familiarity with the veins, they will not admit their mistakes."
"Yeah!" Qin Lun said with a heartless mind, to rule out the possibility that this road could not lead to the Mi Yinfang mining area, then the possibility of this epic branch plot requiring nearly one month of stay, there is only one left.
All members of the expedition team quickly gathered under the cliff and headed for the woodland under the leadership of Gilliam.
"Standing here, these forests are really tall!" Idrija looked at the giant beside him and murmured.
"I can't communicate with them, everyone is careful!" Ilistin took the palm of his hand back from the giant python and slightly wrinkled the delicate eyebrows. In these giant pythons, the elf's unique elf story talent does not work at all.
After all, there is a big difference between Yulin and the forest plants on the surface, or because the dark areas are separated from the priesthood of Ruirifin (the of the Elven Forest). Although the elf story is a kind of racial talent, it is actually a blessing to the elves by the of the forest.

The vegetation here is amazing, just like a carpet.
Marstad squatted down and stroked the dark brown vegetation on the ground like a carpet.
Unlike the flowers and shrubs in the surface forest, the vegetation here is not exposed to sunlight for many years. It grows low and dense, mostly less than two inches in height, but it is luxuriant and dense, and it feels as comfortable as a carpet.
"Oh, don't look at them so humans and animals are harmless now, but if you lie here for a night, then you can never wake up. These carpet-like vegetation can paralyze and invade your body all night, after three nights, you It will be absorbed without a trace, and even the hard bones will not leave a little residue."
Lorraine shook his head and sighed. "For the first time adventurers entering the dark area, most of them are not in the mouth of predators, but in the evening when they are resting silently. The vegetation is swallowed up."
Lorraine’s story made the beautiful women in the team shudder, and Marstad retracted his fingers like a power transmission, looking at the dwarf with anger.
"Stop!" The team marched a long distance in Yulin, and Gillim, who was driving ahead, suddenly stopped the team and told everyone to spread.
"Is there an enemy... Damn, the fog here affects the vision of the gaze of the aura!" Qin Lun lighted the yin and yang fish pattern, but he was quickly canceled by him. When he stood on the cliff, he did not feel that after entering Yulin, His vision has been very limited, barely 30 meters away.
"Do you feel the ground shaking!" The shield of the Weiss team suddenly frowned.
"Well? Very weak, but... indeed!" Qin Lun and others concentrated their attention and felt that it was true. They should have been aware of it for a long time, but the thick layer of vegetation on the ground played a buffering role.
"Ji ~ Lime ~ ~" With the increasing amplitude of the shock, the air in front of the team came a strange sound that seemed to prolong the nasal sound.
"It's a monk!" Qin Lun, who had the best eyesight, first saw the things ahead, and his face could not be changed.
The giant python in front of the team was suddenly opened by a pair of huge palms. A giant with a mushroom head leaned down from the air. The giant face with five facial features was facing Gilliam in front of the team.
Although the monk bent over, but initially estimated that the height is more than 70 meters, the umbrella-shaped cover almost obscures the sky above the team, just like a giant in the clouds overlooking the beings.
"Roya!" The face of the elders of the dwarf is a little dignified. The right hand holding the tomahawk is green. "We have reached an agreement with your monks, why should we block our way at this time?"
The monk named Roa is thinking about it and seems to be thinking about why he is blocking the Dwarf Discovery team here. However, it quickly came to mind, and the grotesque tone of the previous voice in the mouth.
"Ping ~ Heng ~ ~"
The monk only said two words, then he stopped talking and stared at Gilliam as if he was confident that the elders of the dwarf would understand what it meant.
"I know, we will leave the old and weak women of the Rat tribe!" The old dwarf's face was a bit dark. What is strange is that he really understood the strange words of the monk's only two words.
After hearing Gilliam’s promise, the monks straightened up and released the hands of the giants and slowly left the expedition.
Don't look at the pace of its pace is not fast, but each step can be tens of meters, and soon the ground vibration will tend to weaken again, the huge figure of the monk disappeared in the pink spore dense fog around Yulin.
"What does that mean?" The apostles were a little puzzled, but the two episodes of Ilistin and Marstaff were thoughtful.
"The balance that the monks refer to is that the dwarves should give up the genocide of the tribe of the rats, leaving the old and weak women in the tribe." Mastachay sighed and explained to Qin Lun and others.
"Which balance can this be related to?" The black robe mage in the team still doesn't quite understand.
"The rat is a omnivorous creature. They usually eat everything, not only plant giant pythons, but also insects that harm the forest. They are an important part of the entire Yulin ecological chain, just like the wolves in the jungle. The same." Ilistin explained with a smile.
As a result, the apostles understood it. Although wolves are predators, they are essential for the jungle. Without the wolves, the number of herbivores is not controlled. Once flooded in the forest, the vegetation will be destroyed and eventually the ecosystem will be out of balance.
The Rats killed the dwarf expedition team passing by, and the monks could not stop the dwarves from revenge, otherwise the shield dwarf would come back to destroy the Yulin. The two evils were taken lightly, and the monks had to ask Gilliam to let go of the old and weak women and children of the Rat Tribe.
In this way, the rats can continue to prosper, and the exploration of the dwarves will no longer be hindered.
After such an episode, the team returned to the road, but the morale of the expedition team was obviously not as high as before, and even the most embarrassing dwarves were reluctant to speak.
This situation did not last long, because the expedition team quickly followed Weis's guidance and went to the position of the light bat, which is the cave where the mouse tribe is located.
This rat cave is on the left edge of Yulin. The terrain is slightly higher than that of Yulin, forming a gentle with the ground, about ten meters high. The gentle of the cave is covered with a gray-white mushroom, and the cap is adult-sized.
From the perspective of Qin Lun and others, like a piece of planned mushroom field, there is only a two-foot-wide passage in the middle to reach the depth of the cave.
"Hey!" The black shadow flashed in midair, and Weiss had two light-sounding bats on his shoulders.
"The rats that attacked the dwarfs are all in the hole~EbookFREE.me~ However, there are too many ramps in the caves, and the light bats can't detect the details!" Weiss pretended to report with Qin Lun, while Gilliam and Lorraine Listen on the side.
In fact, at the speed of the light bat, it is entirely possible to explore the entire cave before they come. But the light bat has no defensive ability. If it is discovered by the rat, it is so narrow in the cave, maybe it will be shot down. Weiss does not want to lose such precious alchemy props here.
"I will go!" The monkey is eager to try. On this occasion, the thief will naturally go into battle.
"I let another summoned beast that can sneak in to cooperate with you!" After such a long period of cultivation, Venus, who was originally hit hard, can finally summon again. Qin Lun turned and asked, "Gilim, you see it. Can the arrangement be?".
The Dwarf Discovery Team does not have thieves and ranger careers, or the dwarfs who are uninhibited, and generally will not be transferred to these two combat occupations.
"The sneak of thieves and shadow leopards doesn't make much difference in the dark areas. They can't get through." After hearing the remarks of Qin Lun and others, Gillim's face showed a strange look. "Or... you really put those Rats as wild animals, do they feel that they are well dealt with?".
