Chapter 366: Oldman mines

The dwarves were naturally cautious against humans.

This was for the same reason why elves were cautious against humans.

Humans were one of the most complicated races on the continent.Saying they were noble did not fit and saying they were evil was not completely right, but the slavers and hunters in the Forest of Chaos were mostly composed of humans.Humans were gradually becoming the richest and most technologically advanced race on the continent.

Although the humans were still weaker than the spirit beasts and elves by a bit, their potential could be imagined.

The dwarves already had nothing.

Even being on alert, there was nothing to lie about, so he said everything he could say.

This dwarf’s name was Tino Oldman and he lived in the Oldman Mines two hundred kilometers away.The Oldman Mines in its peak had around fifty thousand dwarves and over a hundred years of development, they had created a giant underground palace.

The dwarves had the same personality as the dragons, having a strong hobby of collecting things, liking to collect precious items.However, they did not want everything like the dragons and the dwarves only like collecting minerals. They liked precious metals, precious crystals, or divine weapons.

So the mines being operated for over a hundred years was no different from a hidden treasure!

This also became the source of their disasters!

The dwarves followed the dark forest principle and hid themselves from others.The only difference between them and other races was that once other races were discovered, they would immediately leave, but the dwarves would never let go of their mines.

When the Oldman Mine was revealed, it attracted countless people’s greed.

But the dwarves were warriors by natural.They had very strong weapons and their warriors were very strong.Adding in the defenses built over a hundred years, it was hard for invaders to break through.They had been constantly attacked over the years, but the dwarves had won every time. Only, these fights consumed the dwarves’ population, with only around half of their peak population remaining.

When the dwarves had been exhausted.

A powerful enemy had appeared!

This fellow was named the “Spider Count”, Kanun!

Kanun used large amounts of bandits to attack from outside and sent a spider troop to launch an ambush in a tunnel they dug.After a long and tragic battle, the dwarves either died or were captured. The entire Oldman Mine had fallen to the enemy and even those that were lucky to escape were powerless.

The hundred years of dwarf wealth was occupied by Kanun and over a thousand dwarves were sent into human countries as slaves.The Oldman dwarf tribe was finished.

Tino drank wine cup after cup with a face filled with bitterness.

Vivian was filled with righteous indignation, “A nameless person this princess has never heard of actually dares to act this overbearing!Brother dwarf, don’t worry, we will help you steal back your mines!”

Meng Yingying scratched her head as she was a bit confused, “I know Spirit Beasts and Elves, but what are Spirit Insects?”

From the nickname “Spider Count” and the description from the dwarf, it was clear this fellow was a Spirit Insect.

The Forest of Chaos did not just have the strong powers on the surface, there were also powers that were hidden that no one knew about.The Spirit Insects were one of these powers. Although they were strong and the elves had knowledge on them, they were not certain on anything.

The Spirit Insects were specially, generally living underground.Most of the cities underground were ruled by the Spirit Insects, so in terms of influence, the Spirit Insects were not below the elves or the spirit beasts.However, because the Spirit Insects live underground rarely fight against the elves and spirit beasts, it was hard to estimate how strong they were.

There were some elven elders that have given their views on this.All signs indicated that the Spirit Insects hidden underneath the Forest of Chaos were more powerful than they expected.They were one of the most mysterious powers in the Forest of Chaos and the elves had to prepare protection against them.

But some elves believed that the Spirit Insects were like the Spirit Beasts.There were many different races and various Spirit Insects fought with each other, with battle intensity that didn’t lose to the surface.Although there were many of them, there was no need for worry.

No matter whose views were correct, the large amount of Spirit Insects in the Forest of Chaos was a fact.

From what Tino described, the Spider Count Kanun was very strong and he had an army of at least twenty-thirty thousand people who formed a strong army.

Although Chu Tian’s group was strong, if they met a battle with higher quantities, they would be consumed by the masses of soldiers in the end.

Once their spirit energy was used up, their higher cultivation would have no use!

“Our people are not enough, how many dwarf soldiers are left!”

Although the dwarves were not smart, the matter concerning his comrades’ position he had to be careful about.Who could tell if this fellow was someone sent by Kanun to take care of the remaining dwarves?

“If there is no basic trust, how can we help you?”

“Human, why should I trust you?”Tino coldly said, “Would you help the dwarves fight out of good intentions?”

“Dwarf, look at this!”Vivian suddenly released a powerful spirit energy and a spatial dagger appeared in midair, “If you still think that I am Kanun’s subordinate, I have nothing else to say to you!”

This spirit energy……True Spirit Realm!

This was a space attributed Source Spirit!

A True Spirit Realm was very rare, not to mention one with natural spatial energy.Kanun had a lot of skills, but he could not find this kind of person to work under him.Not to mention the fact that Vivian was an elf and the elves were a quite trustworthy race.

“The dwarves have five thousand warriors in a new mine preparing to fight!”Tino was no longer hesitant as he stood up and said, “As long as you help the dwarves recapture Oldman Mine, we are willing to accept any conditions you have!”

Five thousand people?
