Chapter 19: Cave Zombies and Real Demons

The owner of the blacksmith shop still cautiously warned He Ming that now there is really something missing from the mine, so let He Ming be more careful, this is what he said for the sake of looking at Liu Jiaotou.

The words of the blacksmith shop owner made He Ming have associations, but no matter which one it was, there was no evidence, and it was also disturbing. Without much explanation, He Ming bought a pickaxe and put it away, preparing to go to the mine the next day to take a look in person.

The cold winter day dawned very late, so before dawn the next day, He Ming braved the severe cold. Although he went to mining, He Ming still made a lot of preparations to prevent accidents. He put on his armor, carried an empty burden on his back, and put the frost on his back, and then he took the pickaxe and walked out of the city gate along the road to the northeast towards the mine.

When I first got out of the city, it was still very dark, and it was only after walking out of the city that the sky was bright, and He Ming, who was in a hurry, found that there were already some people on this road. It seems that the interest here has attracted many people to the mines.

He Ming quickened his pace, maybe he moved faster, and he could find a position where he could mine earlier. Beach has not yet organized forces to manage the inside of the mine, and people are mining freely on their own.

Walking on the snowy road, the originally cold air has also become much warmer with the sun. When He Ming arrived at the Beechcraft Cave, he was already sweating all over.

There were not many people near the intersection of the mine, and He Ming observed it carefully and realized that the excavation here was too serious, in addition to the loose soil, there were some stones that did not seem to contain minerals, but there were already people who occupied the position and were digging.

It was unrealistic to find some ore at the entrance and bring it back, so He Ming had no choice but to pick up the hoe and walk towards the depths of the mine. Although he had arrived early, as he walked deeper, he found that the places where the ore might be excavated were occupied, and it was much more lively than he had imagined.

Amid the sound of digging one after another, He Ming continued to move forward, trying to find a suitable position. He Ming will not squeeze a position with others, firstly, for fear of causing disputes, and secondly, he does not rely on this to make a living.

There are so many people who mine! He Ming could only continue to go deeper, trying to find a suitable location that would not conflict with others to dig some ore. However, in the midst of this unimagined mining boom, he walked for a long time to find a position that seemed suitable and no one occupied. It's just that He Ming calmed down and realized that he had gone too deep.

Looking for a place is different from the restrictions that the city lord said about digging deeper. And it looks like the pit is clearly freshly dug, why is that? Doubts floated in He Ming's heart. But it was so deep that he decided to dig the mine first.

So he swung his hoe and dug hard. Then he began to realize that as a man who wielded a sword, it was much more difficult to use a hoe than a sword, and in a short time he was exhausted, but he did not dig out anything. When he finally tried his best to dig out a stone, it happened that it was just a useless piece of limestone, and there could be no metal content.

He Ming was inevitably a little frustrated, planning to mine to find out the positive phase, but he couldn't even complete the first step. He wiped his sweat and was about to take a break when he suddenly heard an exclamation from deeper depths.

It was the same person who was like He Ming just now, who couldn't find a suitable location and walked deeper into the mine. He Ming really can't dig mines. So he took the torch, put the hoe on his back, drew his sword in one hand, and went over to see what had happened.

A middle-aged man who looked like a miner was now a burden, a hoe, and threw away everything he could, and then ran over to this side like a ghost. He shouted hysterically, "Zombies! Hell! Help me. ”

He Ming didn't see any zombies or ghosts around him, and watching him rush out of the mine all the way with the wind, He Ming raised his vigilance and continued to walk inside, intending to find out what the rumored ghosts were first.

Finally, He Ming saw three human figures with distorted faces, all black, dressed in tatters, and staggering. He Ming had already dealt with the orc skeleton, and although the orc skeleton was extremely terrifying, He Ming had never been frightened. This time it was different, these zombies were fully humanoid, except for the dark and reflective skin and painfully distorted expressions, they all looked the same as the most down-and-out homeless people in Beach City.

He Ming, who was a master of art, also felt creepy when he saw this scene. He pulled out the pickaxe and threw it away to avoid affecting his actions, and then the sword began to fight the zombies.

The zombie staggered and slowed, twisting and struggling out of a painful position, but when He Ming got close enough to it, the zombie suddenly exerted force, and the speed was a little faster and pounced. But in the eyes of people like He Ming, who have always relied on physical methods to fight, this accelerated zombie is still just a slow motion.

He Ming avoided this pounce with a snort, and then a perfect assassination move directly pierced the zombie's chest. The zombie fell down without making a sound. The huge gap in combat power did not frighten the remaining zombies in the slightest, and they still staggered and slowly walked towards He Ming.

But in front of the extremely flexible He Ming, their actions were basically meaningless, He Ming didn't even touch them, so he used his skillful assassination sword qi to cut off the remaining two zombies, one with a head and the other with half of his shoulder.

After the victory, He Ming frowned and began to think. The owner of the blacksmith shop did say that the mine was haunted, and that people who had encountered ghosts would not be able to go back. However, with the speed of these zombies, children over the age of ten can escape when they encounter it, how can it lead to the disappearance of people?

But he didn't have time to think before a painful wail came from the zombie whose chest had been impaled. This zombie tried to get up with more twisted movements, but it couldn't support it, so it crawled directly towards He Ming!

He Ming became vigilant, a zombie can get back up after being fatally injured, but what about the others? Carefully keeping a distance from the zombies on the ground, He Ming retreated while looking for an opportunity to make a move, and sure enough, the one whose shoulder was cut off also got up with difficulty and moved towards He Ming together.

The zombies with their heads cut off did not rise again. He Ming ran around the two zombies a few times, and finally found a suitable position, and with a single blow of assassination sword qi, he cut off the neck that cut off his shoulder. There is also a prostrate zombie, He Ming is really not suitable for dealing with the enemy lying on his stomach, because he is afraid of the existence of corpse poison, He Ming repeatedly looked for the position several times, and only then found an opportunity to cut off its head and chest together.

He Ming carefully observed for a long time to make sure that they were not moving, and then he planned to observe the characteristics of these zombies, they were hard and dull, the hardness was between muscle and stone, and they were cut open without the slightest blood. As he got close enough, he noticed several pieces of ore falling next to the zombie whose shoulder had been cut off.

It seems that it was transformed by miners, He Ming took out the cloth from the baggage, carefully picked up the ore and wiped it clean, only to find that it was a very high purity metal mineral. Flipping through the other two zombies with his weapon, he unexpectedly landed a few nice ores.

With the sword on his back, the ore in the baggage, the torch, and the pickaxe in his hand, He Ming was ready to leave the mine, and at the same time, he noticed that the passages in the depths were all traces of newly dug through. To find a place to collect ore at a high price, the evidence he needs to find is sufficient, and there will be no problem in reporting to Lord Wang at that time.

When walking through a sparsely populated passage, suddenly a young man in front of him was in front of him. When He Ming looked at this person, this person was richly dressed, with red lips and white teeth, a pair of narrow and bright eyes under slender eyebrows, and a very expensive and light chain armor on his body, with a crystal clear prayer helmet. He held a glittering sword in his hand, and his posture was personable, noble and elegant.

He Ming's mind is now full of questions, and he is twelve points vigilant about everything, what does such a rich and noble son do in such a deep place in the mine?

The man came up with a gentle smile and said, "This friend has worked hard, and it is a bit dangerous for a person to run into such a deep place to mine." He Ming looked at his eyes and glanced at his burden, although there were not many pieces of ore, but they still weighed down the burden, and at the same time noticed that the sword in his hand was still clenched tightly, it was by no means an ordinary greeting!

Although He Ming has never been a person to think of the worst of his kind, the situation is obviously unusual when it comes to the rumors of these mines. He Ming quickly slipped around with the corner of his eye, and found that several figures were moving in the dark, and they should be coming towards him.

He Ming maintained a polite expression and smiled at the noble son, but the person suddenly put down the pickaxe and retreated sharply. Realizing that his intentions had been discovered, the noble prince slashed at He Ming with a sword.

He Ming, who had been prepared for a long time, avoided the sword, turned around and threw the burden out, and ran towards the depths of the mine with all his strength.

The boy obviously didn't expect this, and he shouted, "You still dare to run!" Hold it! What else are you guys doing? Catch him! "According to common sense, He Ming threw away the burden containing the ore, and they should stop it. But our noble son should be a person who has not been frustrated, and the failure of his intention made him extremely angry, and he chased after He Ming with people like crazy, and the people around him also released fireballs, and some threw fire charms, but because He Ming walked too fast, he couldn't hit.

It is unrealistic for these people to catch up with He Ming, who is now lightly armed, and they seem to have brought a lot of things. In a pit with a large space, He Ming bypassed the group of panting people, and then rushed towards the exit of the mine.

If anyone saw it at this time, they would find that He Ming's face was now flushed, and his muscles were bursting up, as if he was suppressing some extremely terrifying impulse.
