Time seemed to stand still under the ever-bright lamp, and He Ming, who was still conscious, soon couldn't support it and fell asleep. Yan Yi was alone in the tomb of the half-orc king, and he didn't know how long he had been guarding.

Finally, Tao Han came to his senses, and although his injuries were not light, his mana had recovered a lot. Soon after waking up, he realized that everyone didn't know how long it would take to spend in this ghost place if this continued, so he didn't care about his own safety and released the healing technique for Marriott and He Ming with all his might.

The miraculous healing technique greatly alleviated the injuries of the two people, and after a short time, except for Tao Han, who was incapacitated due to another overdraft, the other three all regained their mobility.

According to the instructions on the mural, they found the secret passage, which was mentioned many times in the mural, and it was the image of a drop of water, so the secret passage they found only made a small opening in the floor.

He Ming knocked on the ground a few times, and found that the floor was empty, and he and Marriott easily moved the stone slab, revealing a secret passage large enough for the orcs to pass through.

In their current state, there is no way back, and there is no other way, Marriott carried Tao Han, and they went all the way along the secret passage.

In this dark, long, and purposeless secret passage, they didn't know how long they had walked, but fortunately there were no other forks in this passage, otherwise they would not have been able to reach the end when they ran out of supplies.

As hope grew slimmer and they grew tired, Yan Yi swore that they would walk as far as they could cross the entire Beach. There was still no end in sight ahead, but no matter what, they had left that terrifying orc tomb after all, and He Ming thought that the current situation was much better than being besieged by countless orc skeletons.

Just when they were using some words to resist the uneasiness in their hearts, there was a sound of metal hitting stones on one side of the passage, what is this? Marriott put down Tao Han and slashed at the side where the sound was coming from with an axe, and with a bang, they broke an exit, and in front of them, an old miner who was about to mine with a hoe, was petrified.

These people climbed out of the pit excitedly, and He Ming asked the uncle in an excited tone that he had never seen before: "Uncle! Where is this? ”

The venerable old miner replied in a petrified posture: "This is the first floor of the Beacheast Mine!" ”

"Oh, so how are we going to get out of the mine?" "It's not far from the entrance, you can walk a little way down the mine and you'll see the exit."

In addition to escaping, they realized that what was at stake here was not a trivial matter! Although several of them were already tired and could fall down at any time, they had a big stone in their hearts that was unbearable, and they had to quickly tell Lord Wang about the danger designed here!

Luckily, it wasn't far from the exit of the mine, and it didn't take long for them to get out of the mine. Even though they didn't see the sunshine they had been dreaming of because of the heavy snow, the air outside still lifted their spirits. Stimulated by the cold and fresh air, they cheered up and rushed back to Biqi City with the last of their spirits.

Yan Yi couldn't drag his feet anymore, and Marriott was supporting Tao Han at this time, and they really couldn't hold on. After saying goodbye to He Ming, they went back to the camp to rest, and He Ming came to the mansion of Lord Wang non-stop like iron.

It wasn't until he saw Lord Wang again that He Ming knew that they had been gone for four days. Lord Wang was even prepared for the worst.

It wasn't until He Ming appeared in front of him that Lord Wang's expression relaxed, but only seeing He Ming's expression, Lord Wang's face turned cloudy again: He Ming is not the kind of person who makes a fuss, and it seems that there are some unpleasant discoveries. beckoned He Ming to sit down, and he began to ask He Ming about the results of his trip.

He Ming poured a large mouthful of water, then leaned back in his chair without any manners, and began to narrate the discovery of the operation. From the history recorded on the orc frescoes, to the arrival of the demons, the king's rebellion, and the passage that the demons dug and the passage that passed through and reached the depths of the Biqi Mine, it is all recounted in detail.

As Lord Wang listened, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and after listening, he could already see that He Ming was extremely tired. Let He Ming hurry back to rest, and Lord Wang himself immediately got up and went to the Biqi Palace. He has no authority to implement the decisions that need to be made, and the news brought by He Ming, whether anyone believes it or not is still unknown, he must personally ask the city lord.

Dragging the pain and fatigue, He Ming returned to his residence, fell asleep on his stomach, he never seemed so tired.

This sleep was terrible, and his bedding could not withstand the current cold, and he relied on his strong body to withstand it. He Ming, who rarely dreams, has been dreaming of all kinds of bizarre things, either the skeleton elf pierced his back again and made him unable to move, or he was enslaved with the orcs, or the demon's magic penetrated into Biqi and caused the human race to suffer the fate of the orcs, and the demon suddenly turned into a hideous and weird monster to attack him, and he just couldn't move.

After an extremely bad night, He Ming woke up. Although the gold sore medicine in the border village and Tao Han's healing technique are very magical, the gap in his back has healed, but the muscles are unbearable no matter how much he pulls, and the nightmare of the night also makes him seem to not fall asleep, and his poor spirit is scary, but he still insists on getting up and going to Lord Wang to understand the situation.

The whole Beechcraft was already white, and most of the people in this weather had taken refuge in their houses, and even the freest homeless people were nowhere to be seen. When He Ming came to Lord Wang's mansion, Lord Wang looked helpless.

"He Ming," Lord Wang saw that He Ming was coming, so he called He Ming over: "There is a high-quality mine to the east of Biqi, and I have no evidence here about when it began to be developed." However, according to records, the largest mine development was before the human civil war. Somewhat similar to our current situation, as the threat of orcs has become smaller, the range of human existence has greatly increased, and the ore needed to craft tools and weapons has increased significantly, leading to a large amount of ore mining.

"According to records, the entire eastern mountain range may have been dug through, and there was no record of whether there was a disaster in the mine during that time, because the history of several times is mainly to record the civil war, which led to a great weakening of human power, and the war and flight lost most of the population, so there is no shortage of materials, and the vein is not further developed."

"That ridiculous civil war caused the orcs to fight back in desperation and reoccupy Bizi's wilderness, and since then humans and orcs have been in a relative equilibrium. People didn't know the news you brought back: the evil spirits caused by the orcs for their stupidity suffered just as badly. Now it seems that whether they are humans or orcs, it is they who defeat them. Lord Wang shook his head.

"It's time to tell you a little bit of recent history, that is, He Ming, do you know why the delicate balance has been broken all these years, and the human race has been so miserably suppressed by the orcs again?"

As mentioned earlier, He Ming's pursuit of history and knowledge is far greater than the honor of becoming a hero, these words made He Ming listen to it with relish, and when he heard this question, He Ming's curiosity and expectation were directly written on his face, which has always been what Lord Wang likes him very much.

"Although there is a delicate balance between orcs and humans, and since that war has been relatively stable internally, everything has been mainly focused on dealing with foreign enemies, and there have been no major problems. Occupied by the orcs to the west of Biqi City and dominated by us to the east, an earthquake struck more than a decade ago when Biqi's main fighting force went to the side of the mine to resume mining and change the balance. ”

He Ming's eyes widened, for fear of missing a word, as a child who has been raised by Biqi since he was a child, his parents were also lost in that earthquake, and there are many orphans who are about the same age as him, in front of them, others rarely mention the earthquake. Being deliberately ignored, some of them don't even know that the loss of a loved one is a sad thing. And now someone finally told He Ming some details of that disaster, and He Ming listened attentively, and even forgot the pain.

"This accident caused Beechcraft to lose most of their combat effectiveness, along with their martial arts, magic, weapons and tools. Unlike us, the orcs living in the wild may have the same losses, but they themselves are all soldiers, and they will not have the same concentrated combat losses as ours. Since then, the humans of Biqi have been powerless in front of the orcs, and can only rely on the ancient thick walls to survive. ”

"The orcs who were disturbed by the shock of the earth went berserk, and they who originally acted at night and kept a relative distance from us began to attack humans anytime and anywhere. Everyone outside the city had to take refuge in Beechcraft, which made it even more difficult for Beechcraft, who was already under a lot of pressure. The royal guards appeared on the front line of the battlefield for the first time, and these warriors who had been specially selected and brutally honed since childhood were amazingly strong, but unfortunately the number was too small, and at most they could only hold the city gates.

Such a scene made people almost despair, and at this time, the heroes of the Biqi people spontaneously assembled, and their leader made a great move: he himself took the lead in publicly passing on their family's magical swordsmanship to anyone who would help to resist the orcs, and in this move, most of the heroes of the time did so. Many schools in various eras, magic, martial arts, and Taoism have been greatly popularized and spread, so many ordinary people who could only be ordinary in their lives have shown great talent and qualifications to become heroes! ”
