Jiang Jie was not exaggerating.
Ironaya was the builder of this dungeon, and her death will likely trigger a series of changes. The game pod has detected commotion in the distance; some dormant creatures have been awakened, and one could even say that the dungeon itself has been awakened!
We must get to the deepest part of the underground palace as soon as possible and retrieve the Disc of Norgannon.
No one knows how many ancient creatures still inhabit this underground palace; it's best to avoid it if possible and be cautious.
The giantess was very heavy, but Jiang Jie and Old Chen were strong enough. Li Li also found a rope in her backpack. With their combined strength, they quickly dragged the giantess into the room and then closed the door.
"Alright, let's hurry up and come with me!"
Jiang Jie didn't give himself time to recover. He preferred to rely on the Black Tortoise Longevity Art to recover automatically while moving, even though it would be very slow, because he had to leave this place as soon as possible.
Danger is imminent.
really!
Ten minutes after they left, a large group of Rockjaw Trogg arrived, densely packed together, numbering at least three to five hundred.
Before long, the Rockjaw Trogg scattered in all directions!
The tremors of the earth came from afar, and several huge black stone statues, each about four meters tall, walked out from somewhere in the west, scaring away the Rockjaw Trogg.
It's an obsidian statue!
These are not Obsidian Destroyer transformed from Tol'vir, but Obsidian Sentinel carved directly from obsidian. There are far more of them than shown in the game, a total of seven!
The seven Obsidian Sentinel identified a direction and then all chased after Jiang Jie and his group.
They are the guardians of the underground palace!
They were originally dormant, indistinguishable from ordinary stone statues. But Ironaya's death activated them, and now they are determined to avenge their master and eliminate the intruders!
Jiang Jie and his group continued deeper, detouring to the west, and arrived at the temple hall.
Rockjaw Trogg are found throughout the Uldaman dungeon, and they grow larger the deeper you go.
Upon arriving here, almost all the Rockjaw Trogg are as tall as Old Chen, and a very few are even about the size of Tauren, making them quite intimidating.
These Rockjaw Trogg were difficult to deal with, slowing down Jiang Jie and his group.
A rustling sound came from behind. There were countless Rockjaw Trogg in the entire underground palace, roughly estimated to be more than two or three thousand. However, Jiang Jie was not afraid in this narrow tunnel, as he would not face too many Rockjaw Trogg at the same time.
But Jiang Jie heard other sounds.
" Xiao Feng, scan!"
The game pod quickly transmitted the scanned images to Jiang Jie's mind in real time. Then, Jiang Jie saw the Obsidian Sentinel marching in perfect unison, and his expression changed slightly.
"It's the Obsidian Sentinel!"
The Obsidian Sentinel in the game aren't difficult to deal with, but that's just a game.
If Ironaya is so difficult to deal with, then the Obsidian Sentinel will definitely not be easy to deal with either, and there aren't just one, there are seven.
Obsidian has an extremely high hardness, with a Mohs hardness of 67, on par with quartz, second only to topaz, corundum, and Vajra, and even harder than iron!
Therefore, in theory, the Obsidian Sentinel is even harder than Ironaya himself, though not as hard as the stone armor summoned by Ironaya.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Jie might have been willing to dismantle them one by one, but not now; he couldn't afford to be held back by the Obsidian Sentinel.
"Then don't come any closer!"
Jiang Jie suddenly struck out with his palm, followed by a dragon's roar. The passage behind him began to collapse, eventually blocking the way and sealing off the passage. Countless Rockjaw Trogg that couldn't escape in time were buried underneath.
" Nicholas! I don't want to stay here forever! Uldum and Ulduar are waiting for me!" Brann was jumping up and down in frustration.
"I don't want to either, so I'll take you out of here." Jiang Jie pointed ahead and said, "Now, let's go find the Disc of Norgannon!"
The Disc of Norgannon is not here, but deeper inside the crypt.
Jiang Jie and his group continued along the tunnel, and suddenly stopped at a certain place.
The scan of the gaming pod showed that there was less than three meters between this tunnel and another nearby tunnel, a barrier that could be easily breached.
It wasn't a stone wall, but just clay, so it was easy to dig it open.
"The road we walked was one we forged ourselves!"
Jiang Jie took action, using the divine sword as a shovel, and soon dug through both tunnels, saving at least twenty minutes.
Most importantly, it avoided a large number of Rockjaw Trogg, saving a lot of unnecessary battles.
"Ahead lies the Seat of Khaz'goroth!" Jiang Jie continued forward and finally arrived at the most magnificent underground palace building.
This is a palace.
In front of the palace, there was a large open space, about the size of a football field, inhabited by hundreds of Rockjaw Trogg, which appeared to be a medium-sized tribe.
But now, the Rockjaw Trogg are fleeing in all directions, because Jiang Jie and his Rockjaw Trogg's attacks are too terrifying for them to withstand. Although they have little intelligence and are no different from wild beasts, even wild beasts know to seek advantage and avoid harm, and they are unwilling to die in vain.
Sweeping all the way.
"Look! The Seat of Khaz'goroth! The Titans's Hall! The Disc of Norgannon is right there!" Brann muttered, flipping through ancient documents. "What's this? Hmm, a giant Stone Giants? Hmm, it has a name... Archaedas! The Titan Keepers! Wow, we're going to take down a big guy!"
The daredevil danced wildly, then disappeared in a flash.
I ran to the gate, and it opened.
"Huh? Did Archaedas know I was coming, so he opened the door to welcome me?" Brann looked puzzled, took a few steps back, and looked down again at the nearly broken document in his hand, his face full of uncertainty. "Wait a minute, there should be a mechanism here, otherwise how did the door open?"
"Even if the dungeons built by the Titan Keepers have traps, they aren't the kind of traps that are easy to spot."
Jiang Jie walked past Brann and arrived at the door, his gaze fixed on the hall inside.
It was another temple hall, with four four-meter-tall Stone Keepers standing watch over an ancient Altar of the Keepers. Beside them were hundreds of sleeping Earthen and several small, gray-white stone managers, each over three meters tall.
"It's Earthen!"
Prince Brann was excited again, toddling past Jiang Jie on his short legs. He then stroked the body of one of the Earthen, his face filled with adoration. "By Titans! Are these the ancestors of the Dwarves? Look at their bodies, how hard! How perfect! How captivating! Their bodies contain all kinds of rock from Azeroth, giving them incredible defense, self-repairing abilities, and even incredible magic resistance!"
Brann stood in front of an Earthen, then gestured with his hand, exclaiming with delight, "He's as tall as me! They're intelligent beings too, the bravest and strongest Warrior in the world! The most powerful creations of the Titan Keepers! Some can even cast spells! Those Dark Iron wizards of Blackrock Mountain are no match for Earthen wizard!"
