Since he could not pick up the ore here for analysis, Li Ming fixed his gaze ahead. He was a little surprised when he looked at the two rows of old and weak elves who were like walking zombies and ignored everyone around them.
"What happened to these elves?" Li Ming asked.
"I tried to touch them just now, but they still didn't respond. They must have been forced to sign some contract to become what they are now!" Chief Lanya said bitterly.
"The situation is not good. I suspect that all the elves captured here will look like this. The elves I saw just now are probably a group that has not signed a contract yet." Fu Ziyan immediately analyzed.
"Let's see. Huazi takes Deputy Chief Muying to see what's going on in the cave over there to see if the elves inside are like this. Return immediately after seeing the situation, and we'll think of other ways." Li Ming said.
"Understood." Fan Hua nodded, glanced at Deputy Chief Muying, and the two of them immediately rushed towards the entrance of the cave outside...
"Let's follow them in to see the mining area." Li Ming strode with everyone towards the entrance of the cave in the distance...
Along the long cave, follow the empty-handed elves' team all the way forward. As expected, the elves carrying the ore here are all the same old elves.
Perhaps it is because they are too old to take on the task of digging caves, so they carry ore here.
The further we walked, the stronger the rotten smell in the cave became. A large number of white bones could be seen on both sides of the road, including short and tall skeletons, which immediately made the two clan leaders extremely angry.
Everyone understands that while these old elves were carrying the ore, many people had died here...
As the team continued to move forward, as a huge hole appeared, there were also jingling metal knocking sounds coming from inside.
They quickly entered the entrance of the cave, and found a huge, dark cave filled with black rocks scattered everywhere, with golden light shining on every rock!
Although there are no lights in the cave, the tall rock walls around it are constantly shining with thousands of golden lights, which prevents the environment here from being particularly dark.
Just above and at the foot of the nearby rocky slopes, countless low figures were holding hammers and iron drills, busy collecting stones...
Whenever the local elf stonemasons collected the next piece of ashlar, there would be a queue of old elves waiting to lift it with great difficulty, then turn around and leave.
"What a huge mine!" Fu Ziyan looked shocked.
"You guys spread out and take a look, are there any sane people among these earth elves?" Li Ming said.
"Understood." Everyone immediately dispersed and went to various hillsides to look for elves who could respond to their words...
But it is a pity that every elf is working step by step. No matter how the players and the two patriarchs call, no one raises their head and responds.
Li Ming knew that the elves here must be bound by the contract and could no longer communicate normally. Only by canceling the contract could they return to normal.
But who signed the contract with them?
Is it the crazy dragon or the two dragons?
According to Li Ming's analysis, Crazy Dragon's status in the Dragon Clan is too high, and it is generally difficult for him to leave the Dragon Clan's holy land freely. Moreover, he has done so many things, so he is usually very careful.
So the people who signed the contract with the elves must be those two dragons!
The elves imprisoned in the iron cage just now were all just captured and had not signed a contract. It seemed that it would not be a matter of time before the elves signed the contract.
Because of the number of elves in the Iron Spirit, we can know that some elves have been captured for almost a month...
"Master Patriarch, do you know what kind of contract this is?" Li Ming asked.
"Dear guest, this is the most obscene and shameless mind control contract. Once the contract is signed, the contractor will unconditionally obey the orders of the contract owner and will never speak to anyone except the owner again. Their
He only has the contract master in his mind, until he dies!" Chief Lan Ya explained angrily through gritted teeth.
"How come we haven't heard of such a vicious contract?" Avril asked in shock.
"This should be a contract only between NPCs. There is no such setting between players, because after all, we have legal protection." Jinglan said.'''
"So what are the conditions for signing such a contract?" Li Ming asked quickly.
"This kind of contract is worse than death. Unless my people have suffered inhuman torture and are forced to have no other choice, they will have no choice but to accept this kind of contract. Anyone who forces people to enter into this kind of contract is not a good person.
I must kill them!" Clan Leader Lan Ya roared angrily.
"Understood, that is to say, in order to reach such a contract, the elves will never accept such a contract without a period of torture. It is also very simple to terminate the contract. Killing the owner of the contract will automatically terminate it," Li Ming said.
.
"That's it." Chief Lan Ya said.
"Okay, I just figured out a situation. Although this is a secret passage set up by a dragon traitor, I don't think the dragon traitor has much time to go here to investigate in person, so I'm not afraid of alerting the enemy and waiting for us to figure it out.
After the rest of the situation, we will find a way to deal with these hateful guys!" Li Ming said.
"Is this true?" Clan Leader Lan Ya asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true. These evil dragons who use spiritual contracts will be left to the two clan leaders to deal with them as they please. I will figure out the rest." Li Ming said calmly.
"That's great, thank you very much!" Clan Leader Lan Ya couldn't wait to do it now.
"Wushuang, Kelp, Piaopiao and Xiaozhu, come here to help." Li Ming waved his hand and said.
"Boss, what do you want us to do?" the four of them asked in confusion.
"Help me block the elves. I need to get a few pieces of ore to see what they are. The clan leaders don't know, but someone must understand." Li Ming looked at the line of elves waiting for the stones to appear, and thought of a way in his mind.
He couldn't pick up the ore piled in the cave because of the system's protection measures. But the ore that had just been collected and fell on the ground shouldn't have any protection, right?
What's more, this mine may not necessarily be a protected area within the barrier.
"I understand." The four people rushed over and stood in front of the elves.
Li Ming stood at the foot of the mountain and watched as the clanking sounds continued to sound on the hillside. Countless short earth elves were swinging hammers to collect stones...
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, and a piece of square stone rolled down the hillside.
Li Ming hurried over to meet him. When he saw the stones rushing towards him and only had about ten meters left, he waved his arm to activate the picking function...
Ding... System: Sorry! Players clearly understand that this item has just been abandoned and the protection time has not expired. Please wait patiently!
…
ah!
This is also a protected area!
Unexpectedly, the dragon rebels actually set up a barrier outside the mine, and the ore here is also the owner's property...
