將主角等一行人困在山壁上小平臺上的號角獸人，逼得主角等一群人只好鑽進平臺上的一個小地洞去。
塔庫魯才剛鑽進左側那邊滿是高約兩公尺的雜草平臺時，就看見草叢中兩對彎曲如號角般的巨角晃動。他不假思索地猛然揮斧，鐵斧挾帶著呼嘯勁風，兩名尚未察覺異狀的號角獸人便已應聲倒斃於草間。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa405xeFE7W
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs8LuaiHs7
穿過草叢，塔庫魯抵達另一側的平台邊緣，正遇見一名手持鐵叉的號角獸人從山壁躍來，鐵叉直刺他的胸膛。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gsmCzUFcy
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXumGxe3kE
幸而塔庫魯反應神速，長柄鐵斧斜劈，架開攻勢，隨即猛力一腳將對方踹下山崖。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRj4zs6SIt
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJih4dbtXH
一聲淒厲的「啊——」在山谷間回蕩，塔庫魯已瞥見山壁上還有五、六個號角獸人，正攀爬而來。但此刻，所有獸人都暫時停頓，轉而目送那名摔落同伴的身影，神情驚駭。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfdagvKzA0
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzKfSTJB7Q
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6xQcGEg6O
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOed0qu88C
這時，女兵露西與派緹迅速從草叢中竄出，搭弓連發，箭如驟雨，數名攀爬中的獸人紛紛中箭墜落，重重摔下山谷。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq8fh5LKJo
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDVm0wzXgm
夸斯特快步趕來，看了看情勢，低聲道：「我們得躲進草叢中固守。在這裸露的山壁上，無法與他們周旋！」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztuf4rVBZ5
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXorNDKfzqq
眼下無計可施，眾人只得縮守在這片狹小的平台上。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgRdC6yDIb
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dLC08G491
剛才連番箭雨讓敵方士氣受挫，其餘號角獸人退到約五十公尺外的山壁凹陷處，隱身岩石之後，與他們隔空對峙。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeizPzO4Qbd
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2dwQ8IFkr
暫時，雙方都陷入了僵持。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcePtSvmNmR
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk7MOIKdOy
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEozQiWx7JF
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJOdphMp72
平台的正上方是近乎光滑的垂直山壁，即便號角獸人擅長攀爬，也無法從此處來發起垂降攻擊；若當真要想強行攀越，只怕是通通要墜落到下方成為一灘肉泥。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5oksznWHo
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7x3NbnzQQ
塔庫魯等人分守四方，將公主護於內側山壁邊。其間，敵人曾兩度試圖自高處擲石砸殺塔庫魯——32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3BBgAK5Bg
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU6fJWVjiz
第一次，一塊巨石被他長柄鐵斧巧妙卸力，偏轉滑落山崖。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbREtxIBSo
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r5Yj0OLkX
第二次，體積較小的石塊則被他當場一斧劈碎，碎石如雨，轟然滑落谷底，聲勢浩大。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCa8Lhh31N
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcbpH1PVx6
見狀，敵方獸人驚惶失措，再無心思繼續丟擲。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrIRfUnXq5
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4njUyGeBk
僵持過了近一個時辰。幸好，這群號角獸人腦筋死板，未曾想到以火攻逼迫。否則，躲藏在草叢中的眾人，恐怕早已葬身火海。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvOaobtn3U
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQACgoBvsQ
蓋達忍不住低聲嘀咕了一句，公主聽後笑著解釋道：「獸人對火懷有極深的敬畏之心。他們信奉火焰是毀滅與重生的化身，不敢輕啟山林之火，以免焚毀世代棲身之地。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXTnKZjblm
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGljLhvkAAn
艾利歐特守在小徑旁，聽了會心一笑：「這習慣，真是救了我們一命。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4pNOGxIZp
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniwVzTjZHr
公主接著說：「這片大地有八座火炎山，年年輪流噴發。獸人們與火山為鄰，自小便懂得對火心存敬畏。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjPkiY95cP
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk5oyFaUKX
蓋達皺眉問道：「為什麼八座火山都叫火炎山？不個別為其取名？這樣難道不會搞混嗎？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl02knitai
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpjZQhevcl
公主淺笑回答：「那是獸人們自己命名的。為了區別，我們通常會在前面加上方位，例如這座便是『西南火炎山』。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJlTCQPxyA
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8AonFlgMy
蓋達聽了，露出恍然大悟的表情。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLkVIuaT9I
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnINh8tX2Az
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCxK9x5lrb
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc25DiWorg
就在此時，派緹突然警覺地盯著一旁的枯草堆，低聲道：「這堆草，有異樣！」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8qP1Ut5h1
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlbggMSnRI
夸斯特立刻指示露西護送公主後退。派緹見狀，舉劍挑開枯草，只見下方赫然露出幾根木棍搭起的坑道入口。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhzW6SXxz9
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBtlFyjzS3
公主遠遠瞧見，立刻驚呼：「是岩鼠獸人挖掘的逃生通道！」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP1XhHhYYS
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh72DPgQRe9
夸斯特走近觀察，沉思片刻後道：「應該很久沒有人走動了。公主，我有個大膽的主意……」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHriJXWS1mE
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iXE88PT7t
公主莞爾一笑：「隊長做主即可，我隨行。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXoorehpvT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOzcg5HCbW
夸斯特便下令道：「蓋達打頭陣，艾利歐特緊隨。塔庫魯，你最後進入，記得設法把通道入口掩埋！」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUde69aUuWX
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeguqkX0CMV
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzNWB02abs
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimAbhy1JlF
眾人小心準備下洞時，塔庫魯已開始動手——他飛快地從草叢中抓取乾草，搓揉成一條條細繩。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIazxMKVLW
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVskGmiFnr
當大半人員已潛入地道後，他退到洞口邊，熟練地將木棍縱橫編織成一個簡易骨架，用草繩緊緊綁緊，隨後再將乾草小心覆蓋於其上。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQV5FJjPhL
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp64oUoh5V
在壓好最後一把乾草後，他穩穩地將偽裝物架回洞口上方，草繩一拉，整捆乾草順勢立起，然後短刀一割，草捆散開覆蓋住整個洞口。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguHISuHS2v
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnIwa7vV4E
從外頭望去，應當是要不露絲毫破綻。即使敵人靠近，也難以察覺地底藏著生路。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSCCvwbBkS
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC57BMivmbU
確認無光線滲漏後，塔庫魯這才轉身鑽入坑道，輕巧關閉了地面世界的大門。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEbMSpyoJn
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGg2l13oKS
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWf2ffeaFt
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBALzhQUKVq
地道內一片昏暗，僅有公主法杖頂端的淡藍光芒，幽微閃爍，引導著眾人前行。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW9eWxdc9e
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TvSvG5VWO
這條地道不算狹窄，普通人通過綽綽有餘，但對塔庫魯那寬厚如岩熊般的身軀而言，每一步都得小心翼翼，時不時磕碰岩壁。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEeezzaUSI
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzTMHTFSCw
坑道時而下沉，時而上升，蜿蜒曲折，如同某種蠕動的地底巨獸。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9vox7UXdv
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ5Gb9iLoa
走了約五十公尺，前方赫然出現一扇快要朽爛的木門。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEYvOuXOJD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWVi6ofpn1
蓋達打頭陣，小心翼翼地探頭從門縫中張望，確定無人後，夸斯特下令推門而入。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuGG7YRcst
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq0Axl0JDC
門後，是一間早已被歲月侵蝕的岩室。木桌、木椅、木床，全都朽壞傾斜，空氣中瀰漫著陳舊與沉寂的味道。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGoh2Ltaqg
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTc4qiX8Wr
此外，尚有兩道通往更深處的木門，同樣破敗不堪。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC6mbYKukl
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpRLBsXJUu
眾人索性在這間岩室短暫休息。塔庫魯巨大的身軀堵在進來的門口，將通道緊緊封死，猶如一面堅不可摧的鐵牆。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY2QTqaP4Y
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYggOksSJi
即便有敵人追蹤至此，遠遠望來，也只會以為這裡已無路可走。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iI9kl8OJz
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtey3YeaWA
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42xAcxvdRs
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76iiQPJXse
公主低聲為眾人解說：「岩鼠獸人世代鑽營於地底，開鑿岩洞尋找『岩果』——這種稀有的果實能大幅強化獸人的體能。岩鼠獸人本身是純肉食者，需以岩果換取其他食物資源。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRqnU9ECFy
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoExPDBhAx
她頓了頓，接著說道：「在這種狹窄的坑道中，他們近乎無敵。牙齒鋒利如鋼刃，啃咬堅石，築建整個地下世界。他們可以收縮身體穿過狹隘通道，也能鼓脹身體，封堵整個地道！」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1202WRiSj
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9fODFknLC
塔庫魯聽得暗自想像——一群像海豹般柔軟而致命的岩鼠獸人，盤踞在這片地底暗流之中。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavuPln77Mr
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDaJgE4ETi
此時，極度寂靜的岩室內，隱隱傳來地底深處的刮削聲——32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Dy6cQq0N
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOzGnjZvs8
那聲音低微而遙遠，彷彿有人正用尖銳的圓鍬，不斷撥弄脆弱的岩石。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIy0QwnXsW
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzDXIrJo4Q
夸斯特神情凝重地貼耳傾聽，招呼泰倫斯與艾利歐特一同判斷，但無論怎麼辨別，都無法確定聲音從哪條通道傳來。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc6XABOZUA
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9s4rI2sXg
露西皺眉輕語：「感覺聲音從兩邊同時傳來……像是，在正中間。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt1UBENSdP
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmWCVPkcLd
夸斯特點了點頭，斷然下令：「既如此，從左邊地道前進。那方向應該更靠近山壁外側！」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdagy4jEZjT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxkzP26MuL
他看向艾利歐特：「這次，你打頭陣！」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXULRYHDt4
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMzCECWLcE
艾利歐特微笑點頭，臨出發前還與派緹對望一眼，後者回以甜甜的微笑——32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfpLavgbNm
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflzt4LRnVV
第二對戀人，似乎也在此地悄悄萌芽。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENUi0C0m8x
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjIPN7Us7z
副隊長泰倫斯不經意地看了看剩下的露西——這個外表甜美、個性卻剛烈的女兵。他苦笑搖頭，自知已有家室，自然不敢妄動。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4WzuyDKji
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJe7Be4SA7
至於蓋達與塔庫魯？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR6TZbewl5
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb1mb3civ5
無論怎麼想，都很難想像這兩個肌肉怪物能與露西這樣的金髮女戰士牽起紅線。
