Chapter 7: The Cave Guide (Part II)

First get rid of these blind men are saying, Higg is full of faith. If it is not wise to use force, then outwit it. Bats won't go out when it's dark, and it doesn't seem to be good to think about bats, so start with a few cave people. Higg increased the brightness of the fire beads and saw the three cave people who were hunting and eating, and quietly applied acceleration magic to one of them, and the other two used slowing magic, although it can't be slowed down by all, but it can still be done by casting spells twice separately, it only takes a little magic, anyway, now he can only sit and meditate to recover his magic.

Cavemen are sensitive to sound, but they don't need any sound to cast a spell, they just need to recite the spell silently and use their fingers to specify the target to cast it. The cavemen were blind after all and did not discover Higg's tricks.

As a result, the chaotic bats in the hall were all eaten by the mouth of the speeding magic, and the other two were slowed down but could not be caught, and even the smug guy took away the food he was about to get first. Over time, the two cavemen screamed in a hurry, and finally after being robbed of food again, the two cavemen became furious and ran after the other caveman all over the hall, but they could not catch up. The few cave people who finished the meal seemed to be gloating and "watching" the excitement.

After a few minutes, the blessed magic failed, and the proud caveman was overtaken, and Higg cast another bloodthirsty spell on him, and under the siege of the two, the caveman resisted, but the attack damage was increased by the blessing of the bloodthirsty magic, causing the resistance to miss and beat one of the hapless cavemen to the point of spitting blood. This time it was a big game, and I just wanted to teach a lesson, but it caused one of them to be seriously injured. There will be no one in the injured caveman clan to heal him, he can only be eliminated, anyway, they have a strong ability to create people, and they don't need a waste to waste food, and the cavemen who hurt people are also punished and executed by the leader. Although Higg doesn't know that these rules exist among the cavemen, what he needs is to create chaos in order to have a chance to win in the chaos and smuggle out without alarming the cave lair.

The cavemen in the hall were in chaos, and a few well-fed cavemen surrounded the guy who had missed and hurt people. The guy who knew that he couldn't escape death couldn't care about much, and if he was caught, he would die, and if he was beaten to death, he had to fight back. This time it was Higg's turn to see the excitement, and secretly exerted an acceleration on the besieged guys, while paying attention to the development of the situation, while meditating to restore magic, he didn't want them to end the battle too quickly, otherwise they would get the cave lair to go, and he didn't want any more cavemen to be injured, otherwise the group of cavemen might ask the lair for support, although this situation would not be brought to the lair, the cavemen who came to support would make themselves more troublesome.

Because they were all afraid of being injured, the cave people were more restrained in attacking, so that the guys who were fighting alone broke out of the encirclement and fled towards the entrance of one of the tunnels, while the others also chased after them.

It's such a low-IQ creature that threw me this watermelon to chase rabbits.

Higg immediately stepped forward to dispose of the wounded fellow, saving him from sending a signal and searching for the dagger from him, but the dagger was not on his side, which is not bad, make amends with this fork.

Higg continued to sit down and meditate, and when the battle was over, he estimated that his dear guide should also go to work. Even if they called for reinforcements, they could only lead them to the place where they were fighting, and the underground passages that extended in all directions might not pass through this remote bat hall. Higg wasn't stupid enough to follow the fleeing caveman, because instinct made it impossible for the caveman to escape the mine. And the caveman who finished the battle may not be able to remember him as a captive.

The bat guide finally quieted down, and in two hours, it was ready to go.

There were not so many surprises, and after more than two hours, the bats finally began to be active again, about the same time as Higg calculated, and finally flew from three by three to two to one of the pits, and began to move in groups. Higg also joins the roaring pit mouth that leads to the pit to exterminate the pest. Although much slower than bats, there are so many bats that it is impossible to fly completely in an hour.

Walking downhill along the tunnel, and sure enough, after a short distance, it began to become an uphill passage again, and Higg's judgment once again confirmed that he had not taken the wrong path before. The tunnel is usually steep, but the more you walk, the more slippery it becomes, and the rainwater can flow through the steep passage through the tunnel entrance. Hahaha, it's finally time to get out.

Higg laughed, and was finally able to go out, forgetting that getting carried away was always happy and sad. There was a bright light at the entrance of the passage, and although it was the afterglow of the evening, Higg, who had not seen the light, still felt very bright.

The mouth of the pit was near him, but not beside him, but seven or eight meters above his head, surrounded by smooth rock walls. Higg was dumbfounded, what a hundred miles of travelers is half ninety, no, half ninety-nine. There is no ladder, no rope, the bat guide can fly out to work, but he can't fly, the guide is not wrong, the fault is that the ability of the guided person is too poor.

What to do, it's not realistic to find another exit, you have to find the tools to get out from here. There is no baggage, not to mention the tools, even the dagger capital is a lost and recovered thing, Hig don't mention how frustrated he is.

Skins? The corpse of that cave man had ready-made animal skins, which should be topcoat to make leather ropes, but I don't know if it was long enough, but it would take more than half an hour to get back to that hall, which required great courage and determination.

Unable to do so, Higg acted immediately and ran back down the hall, this time downhill, much faster.

He had barely gone far when he met six hapless cavemen, five with a captive. Higg was overjoyed, someone sent a pillow as soon as he wanted to sleep, and someone sent a rope as soon as he wanted to climb the wall, haha. But how did they chase me, the captive, here? Higg looked at the fork in his hand and understood, and Higg believed that they must have wanted to warn the lair when they found that their seriously injured companion had been killed, and they chased after it first.

Fight quickly and climb out of the cave before the cave people of the lair arrive, and it will be considered victory. didn't think much about it, threw away the fork in his hand, and while the other party was not guarding himself, he stepped forward with his bare hands and was beaten violently. They also use daggers, the skin on their bodies is their own life-saving rope, what if they are broken with a dagger. The Cavemen were indeed not very good at fighting, and although they were fighting at home, Higg smashed one man's head with a single punch and kicked the other into the rock. The other three were stupid, they didn't understand why their former captives had become terrible demons, and they didn't abuse the captives too much, at least they just collected the captives' weapons according to common sense, and the other three reacted and rushed up, holding a fork to assassinate Higg, Hig hurriedly dodged, stabbed again, unified action, unified action, but only one simple one-handed assassination. Higg secretly smiled and saw the flaws of these three combinations, one rolled over, out of the encirclement, turned over and twisted the neck of a cave man, and the other two stabbed the assassination of the same action, Higg did not retreat but advanced, the fork forked on the battle armor, unharmed, Higg held the head of a cave man with his left hand, the other with his right hand, the two hands were closed in the middle, the two heads collided together, the battle was over, the captive had no combat power, and directly slammed his head into the rock wall.

The battle was solved in less than two minutes, and immediately skillfully skinned. The cave people are intelligent frogs, not humans, and if they must be classified, they belong to the abyssal hell or their descendants, so Higg doesn't feel guilty about skinning people. Years of experience in selling animal skins allowed Higg to quickly peel off the frog skin while it was hot, just for speed, not for refinement, and it didn't matter if he brought some meat. It took more than ten minutes to complete, dividing the six skins into two halves longitudinally, each two meters long, don't look at the cave people's body is not high, that is because they are all hunched backs.

There was no time to make a rope, so Higg knotted the twelve pieces of skin directly end to end, obtained a piece of rope about twenty meters long, returned to the entrance of the tunnel, tied one end of the leather rope to the fork of the cave man, and the other end to his waist, took off the bow of the tree elf, used the fork as an arrow, looked at the big tree outside the entrance of the cave, dripped blood on the streamer rune of the bow of the tree elf, concentrated on the bow and was ready to go, and used his heart to sense the big tree, snorted, and the fork left the string. Fortunately, it's a treasure bow, otherwise, there are thirty or forty catties of this wet rope alone, and the fork that needs to be shot out can be fixed deep into the trunk of the tree to ensure that you can pull yourself up.

But instead of going deep into the trunk, the fork shot through the trunk, and with all the strength to carry himself to the ground more than a meter high, much to the surprise of Higg, but fortunately the end of the leather rope was tied to himself, otherwise the rope would have been shot out of the hole. The mother, whom she had never met, would have laughed and wept if she had known that her son had used the bow she had given him not to shoot the first time, but to play the wolf with the bow, and the second time not to shoot, but to shoot a fork with a bloody leather rope.

Higg pulled the rope back with all the force, and the fork caught right on the other side of the trunk, which was safer than going deeper into the trunk. Being able to pull yourself out of the ground more than a meter above the ground without breaking it means that the rope is strong enough. But the bloody leather rope was not easy to climb, there was a burst of waw wow cries from the depths of the tunnel, the cave army was about to arrive, Higg did not hesitate, pulled the rope with both hands, and began to climb up the rock wall with both feet, although slowly, but steadily rising. As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, the caveman finally appeared below him, screaming and screaming, but helpless.

Exhausted, Higg ignored the caveman's mood, and after cutting the rope with his dagger, he began to look around, this is a forest, the road left behind by the mining has been covered by the forest for a hundred years. The sky has gradually darkened, only a few wisps of colorful glow still hang in the western sky, and it will gradually dim, the moon has not yet risen, and tonight is no longer a full moon, it will come out later than yesterday.

It's still darkness, and since the night of yesterday, it's as if I've started to enter the darkness, constantly going from this darkness to another.
