After more than an hour of hard work, Dragong was finally brought to level 11 by the beautiful group army, which also made Chu Tian understand that it is not easy to rise to the level with his qualifications.
I originally wanted to practice for a while, but Sister Hong, who woke up from her 'slumber' state, told her to go offline and go to sleep.
The next day I slept until about three o'clock in the morning before waking up. I hurriedly logged into the game and naturally got another round of complaints from Sister Hong and the others.
...It seems that they are tightening their control over him.
"Beauty, Fran, Dragoon, come out!"
A magic circle on the body and two dragon seals shine at the same time
"grumble"
Dragoon, who was at level 11, still couldn't transform into a human form and could only use this extremely cute voice to express himself. However, imagining a mighty uncle pretending to be cute like this, Chu Tian felt speechless.
Beauty is still as cool as ever, Fran is still as stupid
No, as soon as I summoned it, I got tired of it and hung it on my shoulder.
"Owner?"
Hongyan cast a questioning look, seeming to ask if she should continue to slaughter the surrounding creatures.
Chu Tian thought about it and felt that it was better to go to Beimila first and then told her: "Hold Dragoon, Fran is ready to take off."
They always obey orders when given orders.
As soon as Chu Tian finished speaking, Hongyan carefully picked up Dragon as if hugging a puppy. Franze immediately resumed her dragon-shaped body and crawled on the ground very naturally so that they could get up.
Soon she soared into the sky, soaring under the bright sunshine. Hongyan's body was covered by a cloak, and she was not afraid of the sunshine that was not good for her. She just stood with her whole body wrapped up behind Chu Tian, looking very gloomy.
After a while, I climbed into the mountain pass and landed in the Dark Cave City.
Chu Tian rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had come to the wrong place, but he looked up and saw that he had indeed come in from here.
The orderly streets, the towering and majestic city walls, and the majestic patrols, not to mention the war machines on the city walls, were something that the Dark Cave City with only earthen fences in the past could not even imagine.
The most important thing...
The air in the city is still very humid, with an earthy smell, but it is much better than the stench of the past.
If you look closely at the residents in the city, you can see that there are several tauren among them.
As soon as Fran jumped down from Fran's body, there was a system prompt.
"Ding! You have a mission failure, please pay attention"
I was shocked. I secretly opened the task list and found that the task of collecting tauren failed.
Yes, it has been delayed for such a long time. It must have been completed by the player arranged by Qin Ming. Naturally, he no longer has anything to do with it.
Entering the newly expanded and renovated parliament hall, the first thing he saw was his queen working at the desk.
Hearing footsteps coming from the door, Bemila looked up and her eyes were filled with joy. She showed a very reserved smile that looked more and more like a queen. It also made Chu Tian feel that the distance between him and Bemila was getting farther and farther.
But that’s okay, developing a relationship with an NPC is a bit too far-fetched in itself.
"Is everything okay?"
Bemila nodded: "We have been able to defend ourselves against attacks from other tribes. We even captured the fourth city last night to further expand our territory."
"That's good." Before he even sat down, he stood up and prepared to go out. It seems like there shouldn't be any tasks here.
But this sudden change frightened Bemila. She took off all her disguises and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you just sit down for a while?"
Chu Tian chuckled: "I'm also very busy. If nothing happens, I won't disturb your work."
His identity is the main purpose for players to talk to NPCs, and it also represents experience and money at all times for missions. Now that the situation is a bit more stable, it does not mean that Chu Tian has something to chat with an NPC.
Hearing Chutian say this, Bemila became even more anxious
Suddenly I remembered something: "By the way, two days ago, miners in one of our gold mining areas disappeared on a large scale. The soldiers who stayed there claimed that the miners either escaped or suddenly disappeared without a trace overnight and were not affected.
The miners have reported feeling strange vibrations during the night and I would like to ask you to come over and investigate."
"Missing?" In Chu Tian's impression, these two people are usually not a good thing. "How is the situation there now?"
"It's completely paralyzed. It's said to be occupied by us, but in fact it has stopped collecting these days. You know that gold is an important economic source for urban development, not to mention that this gold mine is the only one we currently occupy."
"Aren't you sending any more workers?"
Bemila shook his head in distress: "They were sent, but the whole team disappeared directly in the small group, and the large group disappeared at night. People in the city began to hear rumors that there were ghosts there, because the miners' collection work disturbed their slumber, and all the miners disappeared.
Killing and eating has made everyone in the city panic, and now no one is willing to send them there, even slave workers."
"This is a big situation"
Bemila nodded: "That's why I've been waiting for you to come back. Now only you can save me." The words imply Chutian's importance to her, so don't abandon her.
Chu Tian nodded: "I'll go take a look first before talking." Hongyan and Fran followed.
Bemila also got up: "Do you want to send some troops to protect you?"
Chu Tian looked back and saw that she was full of worry. He was probably afraid that Chu Tian would also learn what to do if the miners suddenly disappeared.
I chuckled in my heart and it was hard to explain to her.
It's just the right time for him to disappear. That way we can directly find out who the culprit is and make things much easier.
Waving his hand to indicate no need: "Just wait for my good news."
After watching Chu Tian leave the parliament hall, Bemila reluctantly went back to continue working.
At this time, Chu Tiancai received the task prompt
"Ding! You have obtained a new mission [Missing Miner], mission difficulty is 4 stars"
4 stars? It seems that this task is not difficult.
According to the mission prompts, I came to the "haunted" gold mine and found that it really looked like a ghost mine. It was completely empty without a single figure. Mining chisels and other tools randomly thrown on the ground showed how noisy and busy it was when construction was started here in the past.
Unexpectedly, Bemira's mining company even uses mine car rails and elevators, which shows the development of scientific and technological power.
"Hongyan, what do you feel?"
As a vampire queen, Hongyan has the most sensitive feeling for blood. As long as there is Xingdian's blood here, she can clearly feel it. Not to mention that Bemila also said that it happened not long ago, and there should be some clues left.
yes
Hongyan sniffed carefully and finally shook her head: "No, no one has been killed here. There is only the smell of some food residues."
Chu Tian pondered: "This way we can rule out the massacre and then transfer."
"What about Fran, do you have any clues there?"
Fran also shook his head: "There are no traces of magic that have opened the door to another dimension here. To be precise, no one has used magic here."
"In this way, we can rule out the use of magic to transfer." Chu Tian crossed his chest and raised his chin, looking at everything here. Everything looked so ordinary, and there was nothing abnormal. He suddenly remembered something, "By the way! The mission also provided a clue about what happened at that time.
The miners who were not affected felt strange tremors. Could it be that the attack came from... underground?" He looked at the ground beneath his feet.
The struggle of miners from the air will leave blood stains, and the transfer from magic will leave traces of magic. Only falling from the ground can be done so silently.
"Let's go to the place where the incident occurred first."
Hongyan and Fran quickly followed
In the blink of an eye, we came to the slave workers' resting place. This place that resembled cells was where the slave workers rested after their work at night. Chu Tian saw that this place was dirty and dilapidated, but the iron railings were extremely strong. He could imagine the scene when the slave workers were resting.
, an overseer armed with a whip patrolled the corridors outside the rooms. The sound of the whip dragging on the ground scared the younger slave workers who could not sleep at night and tried to seek shelter in the arms of the elders around them.
But at this time, there was an empty scene in front of me, and the surroundings were completely silent. Only the heavy footsteps of the dragon bone greaves walking on the gravel on the ground echoed leisurely.
Recalling Bemila's introduction to the situation at that time, entering a large open cell
"It seems that Bemila is saying that it was strange that all the slave workers in this cell disappeared at that time..." Looking at both sides, "Why didn't anyone around me notice it, but just said there was a slight tremor? Are they all deaf? Sleeping.
Then die?"
I don’t feel that this place is any different from other cells. Hongyan and Fran also said that there are no traces of blood or magic.
Could it be that I guessed wrong? But if I guessed wrong, then how did the other party manage to kill the slave in the blink of an eye, and take away hundreds of slaves bit by bit in one night?
"Master, there is something strange here"
Hearing Fran's shout, Chu Tian hurried over and saw her squatting in a corner pointing at something.
When he came closer to take a look, he found that it was disgusting mucus that was similar to phlegm. However, the mucus was transparent and a little dry. It would have been difficult to spot unless he looked closer. At first, he thought Fran was making a fuss. How could the slaves here be hygienic due to the limited conditions?
It’s natural to have such a thing, but it’s wrong to think about it!
Bemila said that no one has been here for a few days. It is obvious that this mucus is still very fresh. Where did it come from?
At this moment, there was a sudden tremor on the ground
"Quit! Quit quickly"
The beauty holding Dragoon moved the fastest, and appeared in the corridor outside the cell with a teleportation move.
Fran secondly, flapped the purple dragon wings and flew out
Chu Tian deliberately fell in last and walked out of the cell backwards.
"Buzz!"
With a piercing cry, the hard floor of the cell broke open, and a thick creature that looked like an earthworm emerged.
Chu Tian looked intently at this monster.
…
Rock Worm (Elite) Level 65...
The violent collision caused it to shoot out of the ground about three meters high and then retract a little, revealing its one-meter-long body and facing Chu Tian and the others.
The mouthparts, which are full of round-shaped teeth, look like a blooming chrysanthemum.
