The total number was over half a hundred, so many, there was a lot of cheering, and Maria was carried back happily singing and dancing.
Who dares to go out now?
Although this creature cannot run fast, it does not mean that its attack power is weak.
Cheng Qianxun and Rudolf could only watch Maria being taken away by the dwarf.
It must be night, and the light shining through the gaps is getting less and less.
He didn't dare to light a torch because he was going for a sneak attack and he would bring Maria back no matter what.
Regardless of what will happen, at least the mission is continuing for now, which proves that he is still alive.
"Wait a little longer and you'll see."
Rudolf reminded softly.
The two of them sat in a cold and damp corner, taking the prepared barbecue and gnawing slowly.
From time to time, unknown insects crawled around them.
Come and crawl.
Anyway, there was still food to eat, but I was afraid that the black crustacean bugs were poisonous, so I let them go.
When the meat is finished and the surroundings turn dark, it's time to set off.
At this time, the eyes have also adapted to the surrounding environment, just like in a dark room, and the outline of things can be seen with a little weak light.
The two people walked slowly and gently along the route that the dwarf took in the afternoon.
Rudolph stopped from time to time and squatted down to check the ground conditions, looking for clues and footprints on the ground to confirm the correct direction.
Don't worry about holding a torch, because there is a torch standing a short distance apart on both sides of the hole in front.
From a distance, I saw something white under the torch.
When I walked in, I was immediately horrified. . .
All of them are skeletons.
Judging from the size of the skeletons, they should be those of dwarfs.
They were probably buried after they died.
Maybe put it somewhere, wait until the skin and flesh are all rotten, then clean it.
Apply a layer of similar transparent grease as a protective layer, install each piece in a standing position, and place it here.
The taste was too strong.
Skeletons that looked like aliens stood there with two deep eye sockets.
In the dark place, coupled with the swaying torches that made a sizzling sound from time to time, it was really hard to imagine that these dwarfs would place the bones of their ancestors in the entrance and exit passages.
I was actually able to sleep at night.
Rudolf glanced at her.
It was obvious that there was no need to say any words of comfort.
He had gone through so many things and stepped over thousands of corpses.
How could you possibly give up action for these skeletons?
The two of them continued to walk forward slowly.
After walking for a while, Rudolph stopped and looked around.
She also discovered the problem: "It's getting taller."
Yes, the skeleton seemed to be getting taller and taller.
The skeleton at the entrance of the cave was only three feet tall, but after walking for a while, the skeletons on both sides were four feet tall.
Moreover, the long monkey-like arms are also shortened, and the ricket spine is straight. . .
Further forward.
The skeleton's size further increased, reaching five feet.
Almost approaching normal human height. . .
Rudolph seemed to understand something: "It may be the result of inbreeding."
In the cave for a long time, they have been isolated from the world.
If they want to continue, the only way is inbreeding.

As long as they don't die, they will continue.
I don't know how many generations later, they will create a new, short creature whose size and appearance are different from humans.
She was a little worried: "I won't regard that girl as a human being."
Although Maria is stupid, from the appearance, she is still a normal and well-developed little girl, and she is of the right age.
"Maybe."
Rudolph replied calmly: "That would be better, she won't die for the time being."
In order to raise future generations, this woman must be left behind.
Maybe this is the reason why these dwarves are so happy.
If there is no new blood added, their group may die out in a few generations due to too serious degeneration.
If it is true that Maria is going to be in trouble, then she has no choice but to admit it, as long as she lives anyway.
"Oh, oh, oh..."
Before reaching the hole in front, a sharp and uniform scream was heard.
Secretly peeking in from the cave wall, there is a larger cave inside.
Torches and bonfires illuminate the cave red and warm.
Maria was sitting cross-legged on a high artificial earth platform, with two braziers burning on both sides of the high platform.
About thirty or forty dwarfs knelt in front of her, raising their long arms to either side of her ears, and kowtowed before shouting.
It was like worshiping Mary as a queen or a god.
And Maria obviously enjoyed this kind of treatment.
She sat there in a decent manner, and the "spiritual communication" she had practiced for more than ten years finally came into use.
Is this silly girl a fool who has the blessing of being stupid, or is she finally smart for once and shocked these dwarves?
After the dwarfs kowtowed, one of the older ones stood up.
Judging from the few hairs on its head, most of which were gray, and the wrinkles on its et-like face, it could be seen that it should belong to the older one here.
After it chattered for a while, the dwarfs all dispersed.
Several elves came forward and covered Maria with tattered blankets and animal skins they didn't know where they got.
The other dwarfs also went to sleep next to each other on the surrounding haystacks. .
It was considered sleep, but how could Maria come out and see the dwarves lying in the cave?
It was impossible to walk in without disturbing any of them, so she could only continue to wait at the entrance of the cave to look for an opportunity.
Feeling anxious, Maria stood up, and immediately the dwarf lying next to her also woke up.
Not only that, but many other dwarfs also woke up.
Maria seemed embarrassed, her face was slightly red, and she didn't understand the language, so she tried to explain for a long time to no avail.
Finally she thought of a way and held her stomach as if in pain.
It may not be for the big size, but at least it shows that there is internal urgency.
The dwarfs finally understood, but it seemed that they did not intend to let her solve the problem in the cave.
Instead, they sent two dwarfs to take her to the entrance of the cave.
Cheng Qianxun and Rudolf looked at it and saw that there was a hole next to it.
Maybe the dwarfs went there for convenience, which was equivalent to a toilet.
The cave is a place to sleep.
If you don't have access to it, and you can't have access to the passage full of ancestors' bones, you have to go there.
The two people jumped in first.
Sure enough, this is a convenient place, or a place to get water.
There is a gurgling underground stream, and there are footprints on both sides of the stream.
These dwarfs must be facing the running water, as evidenced by the fact that there are still a few poops in the water that have not been washed away.
As soon as they found a relatively secluded place to hide, Maria and the two dwarfs arrived.
Maria said thank you, but the dwarf did not leave.
But judging from the "accessories" on them, one is a female and the other is a male.

There is no distinction between men and women when they work, because they are all about the same size and are all dwarfs.
The two dwarfs looked at each other, then turned and left, walking outside the cave.
They seemed to respect Maria quite a bit
