"Go to B2, I haven't searched there yet."
"The head of the regiment asked the two of us to block the door of A3, you can find Parry and them, where did they go?"
"Deacon was injured and Parry carried him back ......"
Deep in the Ancaras Mine, there was chaos at this time.
When Duan Qing and the others were intercepted from front to back before, it was still a desperate scene, but now, a moment later, several people have scattered and fledβDuan Qing used up a thing that he had accidentally bought in the blacksmith shop before to solve the dilemma in front of him.
γFlashing Torch (Finesse)γ
[Use: The remaining fuel is burned at once, emitting a huge amount of light and heat.] γ
["Honorable Produce of the Blacksmith Shop in Fenghua Town" (Restricted Item)]
Adequate preparation is often useless, but when it does, the sense of accomplishment is always refreshing. Unfortunately, the torch was a disposable, and now all that was left was a charred wooden pole.
The bright cave in an instant blinded everyone's eyes, but the people on Duan Qing's side were prepared, so they took advantage of this moment to escape from the passage behind them together, including Xiao Hongchen, who had a broken 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, but fortunately, in terms of escape experience, there were more or less people who came out of Greenstone Village, and with the dark environment of the cave here and now, they barely managed to deal with the enemy who had the advantage of the location.
The cave is not deep, and several people don't have many forks in the road to choose from, but fortunately, the information they got from that boss before, it seems that they have just occupied this place for a short time, so their joint defense around this area has not yet reached the level of perfection. What's more, they didn't realize what a stupid thing it was to shout in the cave.
So the so-called search of those of unknown origin, they all listen to it.
There was a sound of footsteps around the corner in front of him, Duan Qing held his breath, stopped and listened for a moment, and then gestured to the smiling butcher, although the light was dim, the latter still understood what he meant. He crept forward, then took off the shield from his back and stood in front of him.
One, two...... Now is the time!
With a muffled grunt, he slammed his shield in front of him.
The two men who ran out of the corner did not have the slightest idea of hiding their footsteps, so they paid the price for their carelessness, and the person who ran in front was slapped directly in the face by the black iron shield and fell down with a miserable howl. Seeing this, one of the people behind shouted and slashed down at the shieldman's head.
In his eyes full of concentration, the smiling butcher quickly retracted his shield and blocked the powerful blow, but the opponent's strength was obviously much stronger than his own, so this time it didn't make him feel much better. In his stumbling steps, Uncle Smiling was pushed back several steps by the huge shock, and his back hit the opposite side of the rock wall before stopping.
A cold light flashed in the darkness, and the knifeman clutched his throat and slowly fell.
"The shield is raised very quickly...... How is it, can you still fight? β
"Ahem, I'm really old, this shock made my body fall apart......"
"It's your strength that isn't enough, uncle."
"I have added some agility, otherwise how can I raise my shield quickly...... Hush. β
The two of them talked, and met with Mengzhu, who was holding Xiao Hongchen behind him. In the corridor behind, other enemies who had heard the screams of their companions had also begun to approach this side. Several people quickly closed their mouths, looked at each other, and then turned and continued to retreat in the direction of the outer edge of the mine.
Although they are not sure whether this direction is the right one.
"That's why I hate caves, especially mines, where it's easiest to get lost...... When I came in before, I should have asked the mine for a map. β
"We were given the task of cleaning up a few monsters, and God knows what could happen...... But if he knew, he probably wouldn't have given it to us. β
"Oh? Why? β
"These people are obviously hiding here, since they can hide in the mine, how can the mine owner not know, he is much more concerned than the workers in the mine......"
"You mean...... These people are hiding here, and they have something to do with that Xigang? β
"Speculation, speculation. But considering the scene when we met that person before, it's very likely......"
"But...... But that uncle, why did you do this? The little girl asked quietly.
"It's still too simple, little sister, in this world, it's full of all kinds of conspiracies......" Xiao Hongchen, who dragged his lame legs, saw through the world with a face, quite in line with his name.
"Okay, okay, what a kind girl our adventure group looks like, you don't know it." Duan Qing pressed the head of the angry little girl, and then explained, "It's actually very easy to figure out why that Xigang did this......
"Just figure out who these people are."
"Hey, that's easy to say." Uncle Smiling, who was in charge of opening the way in front, sneered: "This is probably the most difficult thing to figure out in front of us, if we know this, it is estimated that it will be difficult to run out of this place alive." β
"What are you worried about, worried about the whole miners of the Ancaras Mine out there revolting?" Duan Qing said: "I don't see it, you are still a patriot, do you still love this beautiful Fenghua Town?" β
"Hmm......" The smiling butcher was silent for a while, then shook his head with a smile: "What you say makes sense. β
"We're all gamers, so why worry about these things......
******************
"Big brother, there is a situation ahead."
"I've got enough of hearing it...... Forget it, what is it this time? β
"There seems to be a sound of fighting."
"Oh?"
The team, codenamed Cuong, was also gradually entering the depths of the mine at this time, so at this time they also began to approach the center of the battle in the darkness ahead.
Several players each put their hands on their weapons, and when they were secretly on guard, a person suddenly flew out of a corner in front of them.
The shield-wielding player appears to have been knocked out of the air, slamming into the wall. However, he seemed to ignore the pain in his body, so he rolled to the side, and a crossbow bolt shot out from the same direction he had flown out before, nailing him to the same place he had hit before.
Then, a petite figure in a purple cloak, carrying a limping player, stepped out of that corner.
The shield-wielding player gasped and got to his feet, joining up with the two men who appeared to be his teammates, and the man in the purple burqa pulled out a bottle of what resembled a potion from his bosom and shoved it into the shieldman, who threw his head back down without thinking, then wiped his mouth, let out a wild breath, and turned to re-establish the shield in front of him, protecting it in front of his teammate. While the three of them slowly retreated, a figure ran out of the corner in front of them, first falling to the ground around the corner, and then rolling and hiding in the corridor here.
"Whew, it's dangerous...... Who are you? β
In the sound of arrows breaking through the air, Duan Qing's question was particularly obvious, and the other three people heard the sound before they came back from the extremely fast rhythm of attack and defense-when they withdrew before, they didn't notice the figures with torches in the distance around the corner.
"Don't shoot! We are ......" Yu Chen, who was at the front, was stopped by his captain before he finished speaking.
"Hey, you guys ......"
"We're being hunted down." Without much time to explain, Duan Qing only shouted one sentence, and ran over with his teammates: "So if you don't want to die, just run." β
"No, no, no, we just wanted to inquire about ......"
Before the single man's question was finished, some kind of sudden vibration suddenly sounded in front of him.
Duan Qing looked back in amazement, and in his field of vision, a wall abruptly spawned around the corner, then quickly rose up, reaching the top of the cave in an instant, separating the enemies who had just appeared at the end of the field of vision that were chasing them all the way.
It was an earthen wall.
"Alright, now we can talk a little bit." The mage player whose ID was the lone wolf of the night lowered his arm and turned to look at the other group of people who had not yet gone far.
In the darkness not far away, Mengzhu supported a lame player, secretly paying attention to the expression of the brown leather-armored man next to him, the smiling butcher lowered the shield slightly, and put the bottom of the iron shield against the ground, Xiao Hongchen gasped slightly, and then put the clothes pole that had been in his hand to the ground, turned around and leaned against the rock wall next to him - he had been carrying this spear-shaped weapon before, not only to maintain a walking posture, but also to use it to fight in critical moments.
Duan Qing looked at these people in the team, was slightly silent for a few seconds, and then nodded and said, "Okay." β
"Good." The swordsman at the head of the opposite side nodded, put down the arms he was holding, shook off the hand of the woman who had been holding his arm, and took two steps forward: "You guys...... What I just met was ......"
"We don't know." Duan Qing said without squinting: "We took Xigang's mission, and then killed all the way here, and then met some people, and they ...... It's not like a good guy, and then it's been fighting until now. β
"Hey, those demon wolves before, aren't you ......?"
The player with Yu Chen on his head hadn't finished his sentence before his captain raised his hand to stop him.
"It seems that you still have some strength to escape from the outlaws." The swordsman named Ah Qiang nodded and said, "Do you want to cooperate with us and kill them all, by the way......"
"And to avenge you?" He smiled and spread his hands.
"Your mission...... Isn't it cleaning the mines? β
"Oh, we also have that in the mission, because that Xigang seems to send such a mission to everyone who enters the cave." The man said with some understanding, "But we're not here to clean up the mines. β
"We are here on behalf of the Mage Council."
"Speaking of which...... I seem to have seen them when I was in the Mage Council......" Mengzhu cautiously leaned over to Duan Qing's side and whispered.
"Really? That should be true......" Duan Qing tilted his head and replied in the same low voice, then straightened his body and continued the negotiation between the two teams: "If we help you, what good can we do?" β
The smiling uncle in the back lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hand.
Our captain really likes to bargain with others first......
The members of the team on the opposite side also showed a trace of disdain, but they were well disguised by them. The captain frowned slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Duan Qing waved his hands together, revealing an embarrassed expression.
"Just kidding, ahahaha, just kidding...... By the way, is your target a rival to the Mage Guild? I actually entrusted the adventurer ......"
"Oh, this one...... the other party relaxed his expression slightly, and then replied, "If we are not mistaken, they should be the remnants of the bandits." β
"Bandits? Those who have been wreaking havoc on the major trade routes lately? β
"Yes, that's them." The Cuong replied, "The Mage Council got a clue and sent someone to investigate, but their people didn't come back, so they ......"
Duan Qing and the others glanced at each other in unison, and at the same time thought of the unidentified corpse.
"I understand, since it's for the people...... it's for the people" Duan Qing's face became serious: "Then we should take a hand." β
Before the voice fell, the mutation rose sharply.
In front of the two teams, a large number of cracks suddenly appeared in the earthen wall that stood in the way. Dirt debris and stones continued to fall from the cracks, and the next moment, the magically improvised earthen wall quickly collapsed before everyone's eyes.
"How is it possible, this earthen wall should be able to hold out for a long time......"
The magicians in Cuong's team were not finished in amazement, and in the collapsed earthen wall, several figures holding mining pickaxes appeared in the dust, and they threw the pickaxes in their hands aside, then drew the weapons behind their backs and rushed over.
"It's just a dirt wall, it's too much to underestimate our miners!"
Enemies of miners or bandits quickly come into contact with Cuong's team, and a scuffle breaks out in the narrow mine.
The man with a big sword stepped forward in a few steps, and pulled Yu Chen, who was still stunned, behind him, and swept at the group of gangsters who rushed up. His strength seemed to be very high, and the two enemies who rushed to the front were instantly swept away by this sword.
"White wolf!"
"Understood!" The earthy-yellow robed mage replied in a loud voice, and the next moment, the earthen wall rose again. Only this time, instead of separating the two sides, the earthen wall split the opposing team's team in half.
With a sneer, the man with a single knife slashed at one of the enemies who fell to the ground: "I heard that you are all miners......
"Why do miners fight!"
In the back team, several players looked at a few people from the other team in amazement, chopping melons and chopping vegetables to put several enemies on the ground, and suddenly had a new understanding of how to play this world.
"So they're not strong at all......"
"That's true." Duan Qing shook his head: "But when I wanted to fight, you didn't want to......"
