"Is there any movement over there?"
"No."
"Go to B, I haven't searched there yet."
"The leader asked the two of us to block the door of A. You can find Pali and the others. Where have they gone?"
"Dickon was injured, and Parry carried him back..."
Deep in the Ankaras mine, there was a scene of chaos.
When Duan Qing and the others were intercepted before and after, it was still a scene of despair. But now, a few moments later, several people had fled in all directions. Duan Qing used something he accidentally bought at the blacksmith shop to solve the problem in front of him.
dilemma.
[Flash Torch (Exquisite)]
[Use: Burn the remaining fuel at once to produce huge light and heat.]
["Honorary product of Fenghua Town Blacksmith Shop" (limited product)]
Adequate preparation is often useless, but once it is used, the sense of accomplishment will always make people feel comfortable physically and mentally. Unfortunately, this kind of torch is a disposable item, and now only a blackened wooden pole is left
.
The bright cave blinded everyone in an instant, but everyone on Duan Qing's side was prepared, so they took advantage of this momentary opportunity to escape from the passage behind them, including Xiao Hongchen, who had broken his leg.
, was also picked up by Duan Qing and ran out on his back.
They were not familiar with the roads in this cave, so they ran aimlessly. Fortunately, in terms of escape experience, the people who came out of Greenstone Village more or less had some experience in escaping, and they used the dark cave here and now.
Due to the internal environment, they reluctantly dealt with the enemy who had good location.
The cave is not deep, and there are not many paths for a few people to choose. Fortunately, the information they got from the boss before seems to have just occupied this place not long ago, so they jointly defended this area.
It has not yet reached the level of perfection. More importantly, they have no idea how stupid it is to shout in the cave.
So they all listened to the so-called searches of people with unknown origins.
There were footsteps coming from the corner ahead. Duan Qing held his breath and stopped to listen for a moment. Then he made a gesture to the smiling butcher. Although the light was dim, the latter understood what he meant. He walked forward quietly.
, then took off the shield from behind and stood in front of himself.
One, two...now!
He groaned, and with a sudden force, he swung the shield in front of him.
The two people running out of the corner had no intention of covering up the sound of their footsteps, so they paid the price for their carelessness. The person running in front was directly slapped in the face by a black iron shield, and fell down with a scream.
When the person behind him saw this, he shouted and slashed his sword towards the shielder's head.
With eyes full of concentration, the smiling butcher quickly retracted his shield and blocked the overwhelming blow. However, the opponent's strength was obviously much stronger than his own, so this blow did not make him feel much better. He staggered.
During the pace, the smiling uncle was pushed back several steps by the huge shock, and his back hit the opposite side of the rock wall before he stopped.
A cold light flashed in the darkness, and the swordsman clutched his throat and slowly fell down.
"The shield is raised very quickly... How about it? Can we still fight?"
"Ahem, I'm really old. This shock made my body fall apart..."
"Your strength is not enough, uncle."
"I've added some agility, otherwise I wouldn't be able to raise my shield quickly...Shhh."
As the two of them talked, they met up with Mengzhu, who was holding Xiao Hongchen behind him. In the corridor behind, other enemies who heard the screams of their companions had also begun to approach. Several people quickly closed their mouths and looked at each other.
, then turned around and continued to withdraw towards the periphery of the mine.
Although they are not sure whether this direction is correct.
"That's why I hate caves, especially mines. It's easiest to get lost in this kind of place... When you came in before, you should have asked the mine master for a map."
"The task we were given was to clean up a few monsters. God knows something like this will happen...but if he knew about it, he probably wouldn't give it to us."
"Oh why?"
"This group of people is obviously hiding here. Since they can hide in the mine, how could the mine owner not know about it? He is much more concerned than the workers in the mine..."
"Are you...these people hiding here, related to that Xigang?"
"It's just speculation. But considering the scene when we met that person before, this possibility is very high..."
"But...but that uncle, why did he do this?" the girl asked in a loud voice.
"You are still too naive, sister, this world is full of all kinds of conspiracies..." Xiao Hongchen, who was dragging his legs, had a face that saw through the world, which quite matched his name.
"Okay, okay, it's not like you don't know what a kind-hearted girl the person in charge of our adventure group is." Duan Qing held down the angry girl's head, and then explained: "I want to find out what happened.
Why Wei Xigang did this is actually very simple..."
"Just find out the identities of these people."
"Hey, it's easy." The smiling uncle who was running in front and responsible for clearing the way sneered: "This is probably the most difficult thing to figure out at present. If we knew this, it would be difficult to escape from this place alive.
"
"What are you worried about? Are you worried that all the miners in the entire Ankaras mine will riot outside?" Duan Qing said: "I don't see it. You are still a patriot. Do you still love this beautiful Fenghua Town?"
"Well..." The smiling butcher was silent for a while, then smiled and shook his head: "You have a point."
"We are all players, why should we worry about these things..."
******************
"Brother, there is a situation ahead."
"I've had enough of it...forget it, what's it about this time?"
"There seemed to be sounds of fighting."
"oh?"
The team codenamed Aqiang gradually entered the depths of the mine, so at this time they also began to approach the center of the dark battle ahead.
Several players each stretched their hands towards their weapons, secretly alerting themselves, when a person suddenly flew out from a corner in front of them.
The player holding the shield seemed to be knocked out and hit the wall with a bang. However, he seemed to ignore the pain on his body and rolled to the side. A crossbow arrow flew from the direction where he flew out before.
It shot out and nailed the place where he hit it before.
Then, a delicate figure in a purple cloak walked out of the corner carrying a limping player.
The player holding the shield gasped and climbed up, and met two people who seemed to be his teammates. The man in the purple robe took out a bottle of something similar to a potion from his arms and gave it to the shield player.
, the latter raised his head and drank it without thinking, then wiped his mouth, let out a wild breath, turned around and put the shield in front of himself again, protecting the front of his teammates. The three of them slowly retreated.
At the same time, a figure ran out from the corner in front, first threw himself on the ground at the corner, and then rolled and hid in the corridor here.
"Huh, it's so dangerous... who are you?"
Duan Qing's doubts were particularly obvious in the sound of arrows piercing the air. Hearing the sound, the other three people just recovered from the extremely fast attack and defense rhythm - when they withdrew before, they didn't notice the corner.
Those figures with torches in the distance.
"Don't shoot! We are..." Yu Chen at the front was stopped by his captain before he could finish.
"Hey, you guys..."
"We are being hunted." Without much time to explain, Duan Qing only shouted one sentence and ran past them with his teammates: "So if you don't want to die, just run."
"No, no, no, we just want to inquire..."
Before the single-handed man had finished asking his questions, some kind of sudden vibration suddenly sounded in front of him.
Duan Qing looked back in shock. In his field of vision, a wall suddenly formed at the corner, and then rose quickly. In an instant, it reached the end of the cave, chasing those who had just appeared at the end of the field of vision.
The enemies are separated.
That's an earthen wall.
"Okay, now we can talk a little bit." The mage player whose ID is White Night Lone Wolf put down his arm and turned to look at the other group of people who had not gone far.
In the darkness not far away, Mengzhu supported a lame player and secretly paid attention to the expression of the man in brown leather armor next to him. The smiling butcher put down his shield slightly and pressed the lower part of the iron shield against the ground. Xiao Hongchen gasped slightly.
After taking a few breaths, he slammed the clothes drying rod he had been holding on to the ground, turned around and leaned against the rock wall next to him - he had been carrying this spear-like weapon before, not only to maintain his walking posture.
, it can also be used to fight in critical moments.
Duan Qing looked at the people in the team, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Okay."
"Very good." The swordsman on the opposite side nodded, lowered his arms, shook off the woman's hand that had been holding his arm, and took two steps forward: "You...
..What I just encountered was..."
"We don't know either." Duan Qing said without squinting: "We took over Xigang's mission and fought all the way here. Then we met some people. They... didn't look like good people, and then they...
I’ve been fighting until now.”
"Hey, were those demon wolves before you..."
Before the player with Yu Chen on his head could finish speaking, their captain raised his hand to stop him again.
"It seems that you still have the strength to escape from those desperadoes." The swordsman codenamed Aqiang said: "Do you want to cooperate with us and kill them all? By the way...
."
"To avenge you?" He smiled slightly and spread his hands.
"Isn't your mission... to clean up the mine?"
"Oh, we also have that one in our mission, because Xigang seems to give such a mission to everyone who enters the cave." The man said with some clarity: "But we are not here to clean up the mine."
"We are here under the entrustment of the Council of Mages."
"Get up... I think I saw them when I was in the Mages Council..." Mengzhu cautiously approached Duan Qing and said in a genuine voice.
"Really? That should be true..." Duan Qing tilted his head and replied in the same voice, then straightened his body and continued the negotiation between the two teams: "If we help you
, what good can we gain?”
The smiling man behind him lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hand.
Our captain really likes to bargain with others first...
The members of the opposite team also showed a look of disdain, but they covered it up well. The captain frowned slightly, and just about to speak, Duan Qing waved his hands, looking embarrassed.
look.
"It's just a joke, hahaha, just a joke... Is your target the enemy of the Mage Association? You actually commissioned an adventurer..."
"Oh, well..." The other party relaxed a little, and then replied: "If we are not mistaken, they should be the remnants of the mountain bandits."
"Bandits? Are they the ones who have been wreaking havoc on major trade routes recently?"
"Yes, it's them." That Aqiang replied: "The Mages Council got the clues and sent people to investigate, but their people didn't come back, so..."
Duan Qing and others glanced at each other in unison, and at the same time thought of the unidentified corpse.
"I understand, since we are eliminating harm for the people..." Duan Qing's face became serious: "Then it is appropriate for us to help."
Before he finished speaking, the changes suddenly escalated.
In front of the two teams, a large number of cracks suddenly appeared on the earth wall blocking the road. Earth debris mixed with stones continued to fall from those cracks. The next moment, this magic temporary earth wall quickly appeared.
Everyone's eyes collapsed.
"How is it possible? This earth wall should be able to last for a long time..."
The magicians in Aqiang's team had not finished marveling. In the collapsed earth wall, several figures holding mining picks appeared in the dust. They threw the picks aside, then pulled out the weapons behind them, and rushed
come over.
"It's just a mud wall, but it looks too much to us miners!"
The enemy, who was either a miner or a bandit, quickly came into contact with Aqiang's team, and a melee suddenly broke out in this narrow mine.
The man wielding a big sword stepped forward in a few steps, pulled Yu Chen, who was still stunned, behind him, and made a sweeping sweep at the group of gangsters who rushed up. His strength value seemed to be very high, and he rushed towards the gangsters.
The two enemies at the front were instantly swept away by this sword.
"White Wolf!"
"Understood!" The mage in khaki robes responded loudly, and the next moment, the earth wall rose again. Only this time, the earth wall did not separate the two parties, but divided the opponent's team.
Became two halves.
Amidst the sneer, the man holding a single sword slashed at one of the enemies lying on the ground: "I heard you are all miners..."
"Why do miners fight!"
In the team at the back, several players stared dumbfoundedly at a few people from the other team, chopping up melons and vegetables and putting all the enemies on the ground. Suddenly, they had a new understanding of how this world is played.
.
"It turns out they are not strong at all..."
"That's true." Duan Qing shook his head: "But when I wanted to fight, you all didn't want to..."
