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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqKgNIQmPY
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAJ6hwROyh
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprJJcK8PjK
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkSeHRYU2E
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhkE5Dpd6F
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptInZy7bgy
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWut0UTzyZ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3kFf2V84h
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8r50uxxpW
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yql4v1GiN
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqhk0csHH1
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42H9DsZLpf
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！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMfbHAzmhY
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02rBVv10x9
眼下無計可施，眾人只得縮守在這片狹小的平台上。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2EW01UiDW
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP4l03I4fq
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BijUo72n1
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSca2FpU1s
暫時，雙方都陷入了僵持。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc1z7gJT7u
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j8pJQ9mHx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh9K1HXFl4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicMxkGEKJ6
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlUmMif7ql
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUgyptq36L
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——337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLVkVZFTVV
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtCbuUFapd
第一次，一塊巨石被他長柄鐵斧巧妙卸力，偏轉滑落山崖。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCBpOSy439
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZKFbNvxM8
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fy0la1xyf
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSulMv9IxQ
見狀，敵方獸人驚惶失措，再無心思繼續丟擲。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbOFvvtjgx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWQ3HgpMyJ
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLfRcVEwHA
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO00sY093wG
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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtLmKI8Xlo
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUxL6bEDKv
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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQsgmTSaCu
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qFmEihyd6
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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Z6suzq20
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAZCn4p5Tg
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？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoLuAAZUub
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCxN2Zyz1t
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』。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tKra1veY6
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIGMDcwvTD
蓋達聽了，露出恍然大悟的表情。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6QMm53lJt
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ1Xjl5o1r
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Kv3Efxn6
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eGSvDd9Ag
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！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VcY4bY4bb
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENkE9zUONl
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ru4Y8Y2QK
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9buEBH0MCf
公主遠遠瞧見，立刻驚呼：「是岩鼠獸人挖掘的逃生通道！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡannYdrTjSO
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZGRPS7GcQ
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……」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKxwf7Vuaa
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCOTj4IXVP
公主莞爾一笑：「隊長做主即可，我隨行。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXShfGGhgt
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSCVAAGY2S
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！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpIxlDCe5h
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBVcJR4iDV
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVI0l4K1gH
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5dc10gSz6
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHqtuILPjT
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLcGya7E8j
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlPeQI98by
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0aTUdH03g
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nZE6HkLjz
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X8001393J
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZZhtDv9VF
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZcXJSm64b
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipVS5ArsW4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGK71gnH8h
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthES8ggO0I
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR8bq9rkBN
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81qBvQyK1F
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7DyGUgBvv
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbu7VN0lgz
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QmIYVBgKA
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEufuKNPjNm
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeC8r4byau
走了約五十公尺，前方赫然出現一扇快要朽爛的木門。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxFuz2sUJt
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jS0ueUSjO
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl1D0Qoqx1
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjPD6MW1Xg
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXalGbOsGIO
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIvP5f7mlW
此外，尚有兩道通往更深處的木門，同樣破敗不堪。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhcNynVWlZ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9mpzfJzlN
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M3xjqHiuK
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxDfgnX9Vj
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafQXCnKdNp
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdtxY4ZA0t
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jLQ02IEyO
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ0TAPmGOF
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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4fty0wOpc
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqxG0AEkYp
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！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x4CFvtJlI
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXHFJQ3g9w
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJyAQ98hqH
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ9lEx6zNQ
此時，極度寂靜的岩室內，隱隱傳來地底深處的刮削聲——337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgR74Mafkp
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngZchJuJ9v
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pZQVwsSE3
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZrFFzLHB6
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEdeyUojB9
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHx6TgHgnP
露西皺眉輕語：「感覺聲音從兩邊同時傳來……像是，在正中間。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mwHAhHIE4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPYugP5ZxE
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！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjI3d0bsXz
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HWYpR944y
他看向艾利歐特：「這次，你打頭陣！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP3ZDyrisc
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5e3NfqUtp
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——337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWWqdbCZY7
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqfbCtlo5F
第二對戀人，似乎也在此地悄悄萌芽。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QPUS6bTYL
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe8LWHWrsO
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz51RcJlJtm
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3CR4o98W0
至於蓋達與塔庫魯？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsUFR2tksr
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMS6D4D8Gn
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。
