"Hu!"
The morning wind was a little cold. Although many covered their bodies with cloaks, the cold wind still made them shiver and open their eyes.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and there were only birds chirping around. The dew wet the leaves, and the surroundings seemed a little quiet. Many people immediately turned to look in the direction of the bonfire, where the embers were still slightly smoking, but Gruul, who was next to him, was nowhere to be seen!
Along with him was the magic crystal.
For this situation, there wasn't too much of a surprise. In short, it was worth it to have a good rest.
His movements were a little stiff, and just as he was about to tidy up, he sensed something strange not far away.
It seemed like something was panting. Many could hear rhythmic breathing and rustling sounds. Looking towards the direction of the sound, it was obscured by the trees. Many had no choice but to jump down from the tree trunk and walk over there with a makeshift wooden staff.
Of course, he was holding the shining blue dagger in his hand. His eyes slightly swept across the dense forest in front of him. Many sneaked through and soon came to another open space. This open space seemed to have been opened up, because in a flash, all the trees around him were broken and fallen at his chest level. The weeds on the ground seemed to have been stepped back and forth by a pair of giant feet. The whole scene was very messy.
Needless to say, this should be Gruul's' masterpiece '.
He hasn't left yet?
Many didn't know what this troll was thinking. In short, he didn't seem to run away with the magic crystal like they had imagined.
Many slowly walked around the trees and stepped into this open space. What greeted their eyes was a huge pitch-black … pit?
Many frowned, and then happened to see Gruul who was digging out the soil from the pit.
This guy looked very normal, and the wound on his shoulder that was shot by the sniper rifle was almost invisible. This terrifying healing speed was also a little unbelievable. But what was even more unbelievable was that Many saw that there was no light in Kuzkas' eyes, but a slight brown like a normal forest troll's!
As if sensing many approaching, Gruul suddenly stopped and looked in many directions. His nose slightly moved, and he looked at the empty forest in front of him with some doubt.
It looked like this fellow had not gone mad. Many of them heaved a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, they revealed themselves and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Seeing many things suddenly appearing in the air, Gruul's expression was slightly stunned, but he quickly accepted this reality. He pointed to the cave behind him and said, "Food … I'm looking for … food."
Could he be looking for Mana Crystals?
Many immediately associated his behavior with the Caucasian Trolls from before. He leaned on his wooden staff and walked around Gruul to look into the cave, then asked, "They will disappear. Aren't you afraid of getting lost in there?"
Gruul shook his head after listening and pointed to the cave. Without saying anything, he went back in and began to dig out.
After a few minutes, he heard Gruul's dull voice inside, "Food!
Food! "
Looking at the pitch-black hole, many people hesitated as to whether they should go in or not. After thinking about it, they decided to go down and take a look.
Judging from the current situation, that lone Gaugass Troll had actually relied on his own power to dig a tunnel leading to the temple. This was inconceivable, because there was no evidence or movement to tell when the thing underground would appear or disappear.
Shadow Steps could still be cast, which was also a reason for him to convince himself to go down and take a look. After all, he had always held an inquisitive attitude towards these questions.
What he saw next made him feel incredible.
Gruul quickly dug a cave, and with great precision dug a passage similar to the one dug by the Caucasian Trolls. Needless to say, it was connected to the temple below!
Gruul moved quickly in the dark cave, and many followed behind him with torches taken out of the space ring. The surrounding buildings and the temple he had entered before could be seen to belong to the same era and style, but there seemed to be some traces that did not belong to that ancient period. The footprints on the ground were huge and heavy. It seemed that some Caucasian Trolls had been here before.
The light of the torch was not as good as Karolina's magic. Many who followed Gruul did not stop for long. He saw the huge troll turn left and right, and went straight to a wall that looked no different from the surroundings. He kicked it with his foot!
"Crash!"
The wall shattered!
The back was hollow!
Many of them opened their eyes wide and watched Gruul go in and search. Then, there were a few cracking sounds. Gruul picked up something on the ground and ran outside!
Many did not dare to stay any longer and immediately followed him out. His intuition told him that it should be right to follow Gruul in such a place!
Sure enough, just as they stepped out of the cave, the big hole connected to the temple behind them suddenly disappeared, leaving only a huge round pit.
"Food …"
Gruul raised his hand, and the dark magic crystal in his hand lay quietly in his huge palm without reflecting any light in the sun, but it made Many's heart tighten!
This thing was not a good thing!
Many had always felt this way because these trolls all relied on this magic crystal for a living. It was as if they were addicted to it. This was definitely not a non-toxic and harmless "green food". Thinking of the strange behavior of the Caucasian Trolls after absorbing this stone, Many hurriedly said, "Can you give me this food?
I'll exchange it with you with the equivalent. "
A blue magical crystal that was much larger than the black magical crystal appeared in many's hands, but unexpectedly, Gruul didn't ask anything and put the black magical crystal in many's palms. He ignored the blue magical crystal and took out the earth magical crystal that many had placed beside him last night. He stuttered and said, "Food … for you, this … is enough."
He waved the earth magic crystal in his hand. Although his expression was a little sluggish, Many understood what he meant.
It seemed that this guy was now very sane, or in other words, apart from his low IQ, there was nothing else wrong with him. Many understood that this Caucasian Troll was showing goodwill to him. Early in the morning, he ran to this place to dig a hole and took out a black magic crystal that he regarded as a precious item and gave it to him. This was enough to show that he did not have any ill feelings towards him.
And … he seemed to be grateful?
Many could see that Gruul's physical condition was a lot better today. Compared to yesterday's dispirited appearance, he recovered very quickly. But more than that, Many felt a different aura from before. It was a positive and peaceful aura, completely different from the tyrannical aura when he was mad!
Many of the reasons for all this were directly attributed to the black crystal in his hand. He still remembered Madam Vasaki's attempt to analyze the crystal's structure. In his dream, the black figure used this stone to make countless trolls submit to him. It sounded like the evil business of using drugs to control slaves. Many was very disgusted with it and had a kind of resistance from the bottom of his heart.
Looking down at the crystal, when he held it in his hand, it gave him the feeling that it was no different from an ordinary stone. Many casually put it into the space ring and nodded to show that he accepted this "gift".
Gruul opened his mouth and actually made a "smiling" expression. This made many people stunned, and then they couldn't help but smile bitterly. Because in his impression, the Troll didn't seem to "smile" at him at all!
Yuna did everything according to the rules, Kuzkaz basically had the same expression, and Elder Valencia did not know how to smile. Their way of expressing their happiness seemed to be limited to words, and when they saw the smile of this guy whose head was about the same size as their upper body, many of them were surprised and a little touched.
Although life was hard, there were still many things worth being happy about. Even the Caucasian Troll, who was a killing machine, had a pure smile, which made Many feel inexplicably emotional in this dangerous forest.
Returning to the place where he stayed before, Many carefully looked at the marks he made last night, confirmed the direction to go, and then prepared to go in the direction of Carolina. How far would he have to go?
Many did not know, but he knew the general direction. The road would eventually come to an end.
