The stones that were thrown away and rolled to one side were not big, and each one was about half a man''s height in diameter. The stone itself is nothing special, but the surface of the stone is covered with orange red veins that radiate warm light like blood vessels. And some organs with biological characteristics slowly protruding from the stone as the potential energy on the body disappears.


    It may not be accurate to say that organs are, because no one can connect the cylinder like bodies, which appear to be made entirely of broken stones, with the limbs of animals. However, when two stones use the cylinder that protrudes from the inside, straightens the body in a certain direction and opens an orange eye from the confluence of all the orange red veins, the situation is different.


    "Stone man." Cheese whispered their names.


    The term "Stone Man" is a translation of its meaning by human beings. Its original text comes from the ancient language family of dwarves, and its original meaning is the eye in stone. This is a kind of creature that even the sons of hills have only heard of in legend. According to the miner''s legend, stone men only live deep underground. Their presence often means that there are dangerous lava rivers nearby.


    Dwarfs will withdraw from the mine after meeting this strange creature. They regard meeting the stone man as a warning from the earth. The eyes opened from the stone also have a warning meaning in the dwarf culture.


    But anyway, the stone man should not be here. Their range of activities and habits are doomed to have nothing to do with the surface life. There has never been any report of encounter with stone man on the ground in history, and they have little contact with surface creatures.


    There are often deep-seated reasons behind the abnormality of things. As for the abnormal things that happen here, I''m afraid the reason can be attributed to the descendants of evil gods. It is unnatural for the formation of the rock terrain itself, and there are stone figures that should not appear in the unnatural rock ground. If the two unreasonable combinations are added, the inner part may be reasonable. Perhaps it is because this piece of rock was moved to the surface, and the stone people who originally lived here were transported together.


    The problem is, no matter what the entanglement between the rock ground, the stone man and the son of the evil god, these two angry stones with open eyes do not seem to be trying to reason with the cheese makers.


    Whether the stone man was originally belligerent is unknown, and there is no need to force it, because any creature will show aggression when it is forced to a certain degree, either out of fear or out of anger. The difference between the two is difficult to really distinguish.


    This is also no way out. They will meet sand shell people who come together because of common interests when they meet, and stone people who have a life and death hatred when they meet.


    The only difference is that if the sand husks are hostile, things may not be too troublesome. Cheese has many ways to calm these restless children down. However, the development of the matter made a joke. The stone man''s anger was not so easy to extinguish.


    "Do you want to fight? They don''t look very flexible. We should be able to run. " Weiya doesn''t know what the stone man in cheese''s mouth means. To be honest, in this situation, she is willing to put down her thirst for knowledge and choose to save herself to avoid the conflict.


    Because this seems to be a disaster, these grotesque stone Cyclops suddenly burst out of the geyser and hit them in front of them, showing such a hostile gesture. Anyone who faces such a situation will not want to have a direct conflict with them, which is too meaningless. Do you want to rush up and kill the wild dog who bares his teeth to you?


    Lolo looked at the grey robe. From her eyes, she could feel that she supported the female mage''s point of view. They had already lost half of the members, but they had not seen the shadow of the target. Anything that might increase casualties should be avoided. If it wasn''t for the calm and easy attitude that cheese always showed, she would even start to suggest that the team turn around and leave.


    Grey robe, silent. His eyes are focused on the stone man, which lives in the rock strata deep underground. They are not good at moving in the open and open world. At human speed, they do not constitute a real threat. But it''s not just humans here.


    It was not just the gravel that had been hit on the sand shield at first, but everywhere the stone man passed, there was a trace of burning on the ground. If that one eye wasn''t a decoration, they wouldn''t have missed another group of spectators here, the sand shell people.


    The team can leave. What about the sand shell people left behind? When they all drill back into the sand, will the stone man give up pursuit? Those stone people are also underground residents. If they go deep into the sandbanks with bodies that can melt the temperature of sand grains, the sand shell people''s society will be seriously damaged.


    "To fight, and to make a quick decision." Cheese took off his hood and a terrible magic light flashed in his eyes. Half of the team members were damaged, and his companions were exhausted. Of course, he knew that he knew better who should be responsible for this. These stone men implicated their anger on them, so don''t blame him for venting the hostility on each other.


    The grey robe began to shake in the mood of the host, and the emblem of the lantern mouse behind it seemed to be alive. The pure natural environment was not suitable for casters like cheese, but just now weia''s sand shield gave him inspiration. His hand slapped on the ground, and the sand was disturbed by invisible forces, resulting in obvious depression.It is not easy and efficient to use magic to directly influence external things. Fortunately, the dispersive and soft nature of the sand makes the grey robe''s work much simpler. Cheese controls the depression, and as he swivels his wrist, it''s like there''s a chopstick stirring in the depression. The funnel-shaped vortex appears quickly, and there''s a rotation inside.


    Lolo and via looked at the bunker and felt a little puzzled. They didn''t quite understand cheese''s intention. If he wanted to create a sand pit as a trap, he would just let Weiya do it. Master suneng was better at doing these things.


    Even if he chose to do it himself in order to save Viva''s physical strength, the bunker would have been completed for a long time. Why keep stirring it? You know, with the collapse of the surrounding sand grains, the sand pit which was originally deep to the waist is becoming gentle. Didn''t the grey robe notice this?


    The cheese didn''t seem to notice. He could even feel that he was deliberately turning the sharp inverted cone into a bowl shaped hole with a round bottom. Sweat began to appear on his head. It was because the act in front of him was not magic through a certain magic medium. It was just that he imitated Viva''s action with his magic, and stirred the sand hard.


    Finally, when the two stone men were less than ten steps away from his bunker, a satisfied expression appeared on the gray robe''s face. He pushed his hand forward, and the rolling sand pit met the stone man like a living one, and it was no accident that the two slow-moving creatures were trapped in it.


    But what''s the use of that? In such a shallow hole, they can climb out immediately. The difficulty of quicksand to climb will lose its high temperature which can melt it, and the dispersed sand will be dissolved into viscous slurry. But judging from the expression of cheese, he can''t help worrying about the effect of his magic. He also looks relaxed and comfortable. That means that his moves have been finished and his magic has been completed.


    "Look at them, Juni. You have to understand that casting doesn''t mean we have to draft, prepare bows and arrows, and then shoot at the enemy. Casting means that we should deal with our goals in the most appropriate way and at the most appropriate time. It is a blasphemy to regard magic as a tool of death. "


    The apprentice blinked. He didn''t quite understand what the tutor said. But he could still see the scene. After being involved in the sand pit, the two stone men did not climb out as quickly as others expected. Instead, the clockwise flow of sand in the bunkers temporarily loses balance. Their shape is originally a stone, although there are more hands and feet at this time, the whole is still round. This roll up, but it''s not so easy to stop.


    "Gollum, Gollum!" The rolling sound of inertia comes from the sand pit, which makes people feel strange.


    It''s not like two stones rolling down in the sand, it''s like two iron balls spinning in a copper plate. Cheese made a gesture of invitation to his companions and led them to the sand pit. The two ladies hesitated and followed behind the grey robes. They took a few steps to the source of the sound and saw what was going on in the bunker.


    I can see that the funnel originally composed of sand grains has changed into a coarse glass like material at some time. Because of their inertia, two stone men rotate rapidly in this cage one after another, without any momentum of stopping.


    "Their own high temperature melts the sand. The whirling quicksand will bring in the cool wind, and the melted sand will be cooled and turned into glass. Steel balls on glass can roll for a long time. With a little magic, the duration can be extended for a long time. And the more they roll, the faster. The smoother the glass will be polished, the easier it will rotate itself. I think they''ll be here at least until next year. "
