“Hu!” The grayish-brown mist slowly dissipated before his eyes. After flying through the deep underground ditch for more than half a distance, Jillim saw the black hole on the giant eagle’s back.

The three-meter-tall and three-meter-wide square tunnel looked like a black hole the size of a pocket from this distance.

Old Dwarf stood up from Elistine’s transformed eagle’s back. The boiling blood in his heart had already made him a little impatient. He leapt lightly from the giant eagle’s back. Although there was still some distance to go, for the legendary warrior, his jumping technique was enough to throw him into the hole that looked like a pocket-sized hole.

Feeling Old Dwarf jump away, Elistine turned around and flew away without hesitation. Both sides had fought side by side, and she believed in Old Dwarf’s strength.

Seeing the giant eagle disappear into the mist again, Jillim turned around and began to look at the tunnel in front of him.

There were some large pieces of mineral debris scattered at the entrance of the tunnel. Two tracks half-buried on the ground extended out of the entrance and hung down the cliff. The ends of the tracks were twisted and broken, as if they had been forcefully torn apart by a huge force.

Perhaps it was this stretch of railroad tracks that led Elistine to discover something unusual about this place.

A few meters away from the entrance of the tunnel, a tattered mineral truck was dumped. The surface of the mineral carriage was covered with a thick layer of dust. It looked gray and inconspicuous.

Old Dwarf took out a linen cloth to wipe the sweat from his chest and walked forward to wipe the dust off the side wall of the mine car. Tan rust grows on the surface of the mineral carriage like wildflowers. One of its four wheels was missing, and the other three were also rusted.

Jillim wiped a little harder and a hole appeared on the side wall of the harvester. After a long time, the mineral carriage had completely decayed.

Old Dwarf stared at the “bubbling beer cup” logo on the minerals cart, the Warhammer Family’s kingdom emblem. His sharp eyes slowly blurred, tears flashing in his eyes.

Hundreds of years! Back then, when he was panicking and escaping from Michigan Hall, he was still a bearded Dwarves child. After struggling to survive in the Ice Wind Valley and surviving many cold and hungry nights, he finally returned to his father’s home in his lifetime!

“We will, we will definitely take back the Secret Silver Hall!” Jillim raised his two-edged axe and roared towards the dark pit, as if he had roared out all the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for hundreds of years.

The roar echoed through the darkness of the tunnel in the distance. Old Dwarf’s face was filled with determination as he tightly clutched the axe in his hand and waited in formation. However, this tunnel did not seem to be as dangerous as he had imagined. After a while, nothing jumped out to let him vent his anger.

The members of the exploration team were brought over one after another by Elistine. Apart from Apostle and the three beauties of Elistine, every Dwarves who returned here had eyes filled with emotions and bitterness that only they could understand.

Apostle was surprised to discover that a firm and tragic aura spread among the dwarves. They had no doubt that if any underground creatures came out now, they would definitely be torn to pieces by these Dwarves.

The dwarves walked silently into the depths of the mine without moving anything at the entrance.

In fact, even the seniors of Dwarves hundreds of years ago did not expect that the abandoned mine truck that was accidentally left behind at the entrance of this mine would become a banner for Shield Dwarf in the future battles to recapture the Secret Silver Hall.

Afterwards, every Shield Dwarf who arrived at the pit from the outpost camp saw the monument-like mine cart and swore the same oath in their hearts. If he wanted to recapture the Secret Silver Hall or die here, there was no third option.

As members of the exploration team, Jillim and the others were responsible for exploring this place, finding the main road of the mine, and reporting it to the headquarters in Shield Dwarf.

Hill and Rand followed the team deeper and deeper into the mine and discovered that Dwarves’s mine was different from the one seen in Earth’s movies.

The dwarves did not use large quantities of timber and other supporting structures in the mines, and the tunnels in the mines were also very tortuous and untidy. Hill even saw a stone pillar shaped like a twisted vine in the middle of a certain section of the road.

The two of them were truly unable to imagine how this twisted stone pillar, which had an inclination of almost 30 degrees, could support the top of the mine.

After a curious inquiry, a Dwarves beside Hill proudly told him. The dwarves were naturally able to identify the structure of the strata from the texture of the underground strata. They chopped down the pillars along the texture of the rock stratum to such an extent.

It was like a pile of building blocks. Sometimes, it looked like a pile of building blocks that were twisted and twisted together, but in reality, the chassis was extremely stable. It could support the tremendous pressure and load at the top.

Dwarves will never destroy important pillars when it comes to mining. They only use auxiliary wooden pillars on sections of roads that lack focus. Although winding tunnels are more difficult to transport ore, the railways and mineral wagons laid on the ground largely solve the problem.

Dwarves rarely collapsed in the mines they dug. This was their innate talent.

Everyone on the expedition team was required to maintain extreme silence. The Shadow Dragons that occupied the Silver Hall enslaved a group of Gray Dwarves.

Despite the chaos and evil of Grey Dwarves, it is undeniable that Grey Dwarves is also an expert in mining and smelting. It was possible that they would also dig for ore in the mining area. If they were discovered, the tunnel that they had found with great difficulty would be destroyed immediately.

They moved very fast, and the dwarves were like fish in water. They seemed to know which way to go in order to find the main road of the mine.

“Hill, did you find any traces left behind by Qin Lun?” Along the way, Elistine kept harassing Shepherd. Because he wasn’t good at observing details, Elven druid had no choice but to bother asking about the progress.

“Dwarves is more sensitive than us in this kind of place. If there is anything, I believe they have already told you.” Hill felt a little helpless, but in fact, he was also feeling a little strange in his heart.

According to the clues from before, Qin Lun wouldn’t be unable to discover this mine. If he were to enter this place, he would definitely leave behind some clues. It would be strange if he didn’t come in after he found out.

Although Qin Lun had warned him to be careful of himself before the problem occurred, Hill did not think that Qin Lun would destroy the storyline mission at the last moment. After all, this had a vital interest in him.

“Silence!” After circling the tunnel for a long time, Jillim suddenly gestured to the back and discovered something.

Old Dwarves waved his hand, and the two Dwarves gently put down their axes and put their ears against the stone wall on the right side of the hole.

“It’s Grey Dwarves!” After listening for a moment, the faces of the two Dwarves revealed a trace of surprise. “We are very lucky. Behind this wall is the newly dug mine tunnel in Grey Dwarves …”

“Retreat!” Gilliam waved his hand backwards, and the members of the exploration team held their breaths and retreated a distance.

“Lord Jillim, are we not going forward anymore?” Wei Si’s eyes lit up as he probed.

“No, there’s no need. Our mission has been completed. It’s over!” Jillim twirled his beard with a smile on his face.

The task of the exploration team was to find the mining passageway to the Silver Hall, but they could not alert the enemy. Although the Silver Hall Mining Area was connected in all directions, there weren’t many passageways to the city’s interior.

Their mission had indeed ended. Next, Shield Dwarf would send out a powerful vanguard to try to break through the mining passageway at one go and occupy at least one frontline position within the city. Otherwise, Grey Dwarves would seal off the tunnels leading to the city, which would not be easier than attacking the entrance of the Mithril Hall from the surface.

“But what about Ferrari? We can’t leave him here alone!” Elistine cried out in alarm, grabbing Jillim’s arm tightly.

Old Dwarf patted the back of Elistine’s hand and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Elistine, Shield Dwarf will never give up on friends. If we don’t alert Grey Dwarves, Ferrar won’t be in danger. However, the situation here must be reported to the surface camp first …”

“We don’t have much food left. We can’t leave too many people here. You and Ferrari’s followers go back first. I’ll stay here myself and continue looking for Ferrari until you bring the next batch of Dwarves over.”

“No, I’ll stay with you!” Elistine said firmly, “Let them go back.”

In the end, Gilliam had no choice but to compromise. Elistine, Idrya, and Mastasia stayed with Old Dwarf and gave them all the extra food. As for the other Dwarves and the apostles, they had no choice but to return. In fact, other than Hill and Rand, Weiss and the others did not care about this.

When they returned to the labyrinth fortress and brought Lorraine back to the cave base on the surface, they had already met the prerequisites for completing the prequel plot of the epic.

After calculating the duration of their stay, when they returned to the surface, there would still be about a week left.

In fact, it was all thanks to the drow elves that they had so much time left. If they hadn’t randomly entered the maze and cleaned up most of the ox-headed monsters, perhaps the exploration team would still be wandering around the maze.

Not mentioning the four of them who had stayed behind, the members of the exploration team were much more relaxed and happy when they returned. Only Hill and Rand in the team were a little unhappy. Although they knew from the list of team members that the fellow was still alive, they were still somewhat unhappy.

Even though they had received Qin Lun’s reminder and even imagined that he would betray the team members and target his companions, they didn’t expect him to disappear just like that. They didn’t even leave a single word behind.

This gave Hill and Rand a very bad feeling, as if the other party didn’t care about them at all.

“Hill, can you guess Qin Lun’s intentions?” Rand asked softly, “I have a bad premonition!”

“Don’t worry, he will always appear in front of us.” Hill’s eyes lit up and he said slowly.
