Chapter 20: Into the Mine

There were so many miners in the mine, still concentrating, indifferent and numb mining, He Ming ran all the way without attracting any attention, and no one even looked back at him. Why he ran like this, whether there was any danger or not, no one cared at all.

All this made He Ming run out of the mine very uncomfortable, and after running out of the hole, he drank the water in the water bag in one go, but his mouth was still dry. By impression, he found a pond on the side of the road and poured himself with ice water to calm down.

Luckily, when he arrived at the gate of Beach, the sound of a huge shaft closing the gate had just sounded, and He Mingde entered the city before the gate closed.

The ore was lost, along with the pickaxe and a burden, and the evidence was lost. A strange impulse rose in He Ming's heart, but he was still trying to control himself. After drinking a stomach of snow water, plus a tiring day, dragging very uncomfortable steps, He Ming rushed all the way to Lord Wang's mansion.

Lord Wang's day's work has ended, the whole house is cleaning up and preparing to close the door, seeing the sweaty rain, looking strange He Ming rushed straight over, the next person hurriedly went to inform Lord Wang, Lord Wang came out of the back room and saw He Ming was also startled, he hurriedly ordered someone to pour water and get towels, while letting He Ming calm down and ask what happened.

"What's wrong? He Ming, what's going on? ”

He Ming organized the language and said, "I went to the mine. ”

"Caves? The mine has been affected by the evil spirits of the orcs? I haven't received any reports of the mine lately, but there are some rumors there, what's going on? Seeing that He Ming was silent again, Lord Wang asked with some concern.

He Ming finally calmed down, and after carefully sorting out his words, he said to Lord Wang: "Someone has raised the price of ore collection to lure more people to the mine. They've dug through the depths of the mine, and zombies have crawled out of the mines. ”

Lord Wang's eyes widened: "Who is so bold?" What is their purpose? Is this worth it? ”

He Ming said: "I couldn't bring back the ore, and I didn't find the place where they said they collected the ore privately. But there was a group of people in the cave who killed people and robbed the ore. ”

He quickly described the appearance of the man in the territory to the king, and at the same time explained that he was under a torch, and he could not be sure to see clearly.

Lord Wang pondered for a moment and muttered, "Is this person...... It's impossible, there's no reason for their family to do this kind of thing, they have to have a plan to do it. ”

Then he immediately asked He Ming with concern: "Those who attacked you didn't hurt you, did they?" I'll get a doctor to take care of you first. ”

He Ming said: "Thank you Lord Wang for your concern, He Ming is unscathed." ”

Lord Wang closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said, "He Ming, there are indeed a lot of strange things in recent days, and the news from the city lord's side and my side may be blocked. Since I no longer manage civil affairs, the information is too bad. We are completely unaware of the news you brought back, which is not normal.

"I feel like there's a good chance that someone is doing something, but I can't come up with a reason, so this time, I have to work hard for you to help me go to the mine and bring some more evidence.

"By the way, the city lord's side has already contacted the professionals in the field of demon slayering, and they are making some preparations, and they will soon set off to deal with the demons in the depths of the mine. Let's go and find out what's going on in the depths of the mine this time. Go with Marriott and be safe! ”

He Ming had completely calmed down, and from Lord Wang's tone, he realized that there were still many important things to do. He bowed to Lord Wang and said, "Then I'll prepare, and I'll go to the mine again with Marriott tomorrow." Thank you for your concern, I will try my best to pay attention to our safety. ”

Lord Wang said, "Okay, you come here directly tomorrow, and I will let Marriott and them come to me and wait for you, so let's have a good rest today." ”

After He Ming said goodbye, he went back to his residence. He Ming didn't rest well this night, the cold snow water stimulated his body, if he wasn't strong, he would probably have a serious illness. But after a night, He Ming was still in quite good condition, and he didn't spend money on the warm quilt in vain.

After a little preparation, he went straight to Lord Wang's mansion, where Marriott, Tao Han, and Yan Yi were already waiting for him. Marriott put on a pair of heavier armor with more complete protection and heavier protection, and Tao Han and Yan Yi also put on better protection.

Lord Wang had already given them the task, so as soon as they communicated, several of them immediately set off towards the mine. On the way, He Ming carefully introduced the characteristics of zombies, the ability to regenerate without destroying their heads, and the situation of the robbers. Marriott also told He Ming that in addition to these, they also needed to assess the threat posed by more zombies in the mine.

After entering the mine, He Ming and the others realized that there were more people in the mine now than before, and the terrible rumors that gradually spread did not affect people's enthusiasm for entering the mine to seek wealth. Even though there is obviously no ore at the entrance, there are many people working hard there.

He Ming and his party continued to go deep into the mine, while collecting more and more accurate data on zombies, and at the same time figuring out how deep the mine had been dug.

They saw that there were many people who continued to go deeper like them, and now the deeper parts of the mine could no longer dig out the colored ore, and they had to go deep to dig better ore, and the pitch-black mine did not feel like going deep into the darkness with the light of various candles and torches, until they really walked deeper, and then there was still a dug passage inside. But no one continued to go inside, He Ming asked people close to here, and learned that up to this point, mining and ore transportation were enough, and there was no need to go any further.

"The people who are mining are no longer deep, but this passage is dug deep, and the city lord has also ordered that it is forbidden to dig deeper, what are these people who have been digging deep are trying to do?" He Ming asked Marriott them.

Marriott still said nonchalantly: "There are so many orders from the city lord, how many people will strictly abide by them." Instead of worrying about this now, let's dig a little deeper. ”

He Ming nodded, and the four of them continued to light torches and go deeper, judging from the traces, this passage has been walked by people recently. But now there was no one, and the four of them didn't know where they had dug up.

At this moment, several figures staggered up from the darkness, although the visibility illuminated by the torches was limited, He Ming could still tell from the newness of their clothes, these zombies were the recently dead miners in Beach City!!

As soon as Yan Yi raised his hand, a big fireball blasted towards the front one, and in the bright firelight, Marriott could clearly see the faces of these zombies: all their visible skin and flesh had become extremely black, and only their teeth were still white, and they were walking towards this side in an orderly manner, compared with the half-orc skeletons who still knew how to fight, these zombies were only left with instinct.

The fireball made a sizzling sound in the zombie's chest, a pungent stench could come out of the air, and the zombie didn't look fit to burn, and the terrible fire didn't take long to extinguish. Tao Han shouted: "Pay attention to safety, these zombies have corpse poison on their bodies, and the air released during combustion also has a certain amount of corpse poison, once we are injured, we will also be infected!" ”

The four of them went their own way, they were all battle-hardened, these staggering miner zombies, moving slowly, and only suddenly increasing their speed slightly when they got close to a certain point. So He Ming decided to let Tao Han and Yan Yi retain their mana and let the two warriors kill them.

Marriott is infinitely powerful and full of momentum, unlike He Ming, who avoids the attacks of zombies and finds opportunities to assassinate, he directly roars and slashes directly at zombies with an axe. The zombie who could only attack with his arm couldn't attack Marriott, so he was split by Shura, who had the sword aura of attacking and killing, and smashed directly into the ground.

And He Ming's extremely sharp assassination swordsmanship didn't take too much time to eliminate the two. They began to investigate the zombies.

"These guys say it's zombies, and I feel more like a rock," Marriott said! The chopping made my hands numb, and I didn't feel like flesh and blood at all! ”

Tao Han crouched down next to a zombie, felt the breath on its body, and said, "They are monsters that are affected by the dark forces, and they have lost their center of movement after the destruction of their heads, but they are not completely dead. ”

At this time, Yan Yi spoke: "Everyone, in addition to these, I suggest that when you continue to move forward, you must be in good spirits. You see, a little farther away these zombies are lying on the ground like a black stone. If we don't get up in advance, but suddenly burst out when we walk over, it will be very dangerous. ”

He Ming said: "Yes, especially these zombies also carry highly contagious corpse poison, everyone must be extra careful at every step." ”

The group slowed down with torches and continued their way deeper into the mine. Fortunately, there were not many zombies along the way, and the four of them were very careful, and there was no sudden attack by zombies.

After a few further walks, they realized that there was no trace of recent mining here. And the passage to the depths here is a newly dug trace. That is to say, at this point, the people who dig deeper are no longer digging for the sake of mining, but only for the sake of digging deeper.

Marriott's angry voice rang out: "What kind of bastard did this good thing? The lord of the castle clearly gave an order prohibiting digging deeper! ”

Not many people will strictly abide by the orders of the city lord that you said just now, He Ming said in his heart.

Tao Han said to Marriott: "Don't worry, let's investigate what we see now, this mission is supposed to investigate these situations." ”

Could it be that someone is deliberately creating a disaster? Even if it was to create a disaster, only a few of the high-level leaders in Beechcraft knew the information about the evil demons that He Ming brought back. He Ming didn't dare to continue to think about it, they could only continue to explore the depths of the mine along the newly excavated traces.
