Chapter 243: Put Down the Bowl!

The enraged minotaurs walked quickly, and by the time the sun was setting, they had made their way through the sparse hills of the jungle to the foot of the mountains to the east.

However, they did not immediately go up the mountain, but lurked at the edge of the forest and waited for it to get completely dark. Because from the cave halfway up the mountain, the flat open land from the hills to the foot of the mountain is almost unobstructed, and there is no hiding place at all.

The goblins didn't build any sheds outside the mines, for them, the mines were warm in winter and cool in summer, they couldn't be blown by the wind or rain, and more importantly, they could save a lot of money, which was very cost-effective.

"How?" Masrae leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Wait a minute, you climb up from here, lurk into the mines, and when the frontal attack begins, you will launch it." Dezko pointed to a cave carved out of a cliff halfway up the mountain, which was the slag outlet of the mine, about four or five meters above the ground, but it was not very difficult for the cheetahs to climb.

Dezko didn't send people to negotiate or anything, because you can't just guò guò get greedy goblins to give up the gold, and once these guys are alerted, this mine in the middle of the mountains is quite easy to defend. He didn't want to take that risk.

Instead of making a fire to cook, they took out some jerky and cold cheese and casually cushioned it. When the sky finally darkened completely, Dezko was the first to emerge from the jungle.

"Let's get moving!" He ordered in a low voice, most of these minotaur warriors were veterans of battle, and he didn't need to be detailed with what he said. They rolled upside down like a silent stream, heading towards the mine.

Probably thinking that no one was as interested in the Bloodrock ore as they were, the goblins had no sentry at all, and the attackers easily rushed all the way to the entrance of the mine before stopping.

For the Minotaur warriors, there was never such a tactic as stealth infiltration - nor did their large size and distinctive hoofed feet, preferring to attack head-on and break through doors. However, there was no door to kick in the suddenly opened mine, and they swarmed in. Rush straight into the mine.

The inside of the mine is not too dark, and every few minutes there is a dead wind lamp hanging on the wooden parapet. It has to be said that the engineering level of the goblins is second to none in all of Azeroth, and this mine is very open. Even if three people are running side by side, it won't look crowded, and the sturdy top support and timber parapet ensure that it won't collapse. In the middle of the tunnel, a track is laid for the passage of mine carts, leading to the depths of the tunnel. In addition, the exhaust layout in the tunnel is also very good. There was no pungent smell, which made Diego feel a lot more relaxed, he didn't want to shoot out and make a gas explosion.

But to their surprise, the mine was empty, there were not a single worker, only a few small mine carts and some pickaxes, shovels and other tools scattered on the ground.

"Is it dinner time?" Diego paused for a moment and said.

That seemed to be the only plausible reason, as their previous battle on the hill was too far away, whether it was the rising smoke or the sound of gunfire. None of them were likely to be discovered, and after separate interrogations, they were convinced that all the members of the convoy had been caught, and none of them had escaped.

"Let's go in and have a look!" Dezko whispered, for him, they were all in, and they had to find out anyway.

They continued deeper into the tunnel, with Dezko at the head of the group. The warhammer was a bit of a problem here, and he now used an oak shield and a one-handed axe. Diego followed him to the right so that he could not block the shot. He can also burst forward and fire at any time when Dezko needs support. Death Gaze is filled with shotguns that cover almost the entire tunnel.

The tunnel descends on a slope of about 30 degrees, gradually descending into the ground. Curiously, the tunnel does not have any forks. This is simply unthinkable elsewhere, because almost all mineral deposits, whether metal or coal, are built in all directions, like a labyrinth.

Walked for a while. Probably due to the echo of the cave walls, they heard a faint voice coming from below. This put Dezko's hanging heart at ease—as long as he didn't escape.

The deeper they went, the louder the voices became, and by the end they could almost tell what they were saying. Diego found that he could hear the most clearly, because the owner of the voices was using the lingua franca of humanity.

This is not surprising, because in addition to the top management, the employees of Goblin Ventures are not limited to a race of goblins, among them are humans, dwarves and gnomes who belong to the Alliance, as well as orcs, minotaurs and trolls who belong to the tribe, and almost every race has its own language and it is difficult to communicate with each other. In order to improve their work efficiency, the goblins set the company's official working language as the lingua franca of mankind.

This is simply due to the fact that the human language is easier to learn and understand. The languages of other races are much more complex and difficult to learn than human languages - the language of trolls is so fierce that it sounds like they are about to open up to people at any moment; The cuneiform script that the dwarves seemed to have carved out of stone was too stiff, the minotaur language was mixed with too many unique sounds, and the elves' elegant and gentle language was more suitable for chanting poetry than for work, and as for the orc language, this alien language had no resemblance to almost all of Azeroth's language families and could not be generalized.

The tunnel ahead brightened, and in the distance a figure could be seen dangling from the bend in the tunnel. Dezko stopped and motioned for Diego to take a closer look.

Just then, they heard someone inside arguing loudly.

"Give me another piece of wild boar ham, I feel hungry enough to eat a cow!" A voice said in a gruff voice.

"Come on, you've eaten four, but you've never done as much work as you eat." Another slicky voice scoffed.

The cave erupted in laughter.

Taking advantage of the commotion, Diego tiptoed up, looked inside, and then shrank back. As he had guessed, the miners were eating, and the area that seemed to be a tool storage was spacious, and there were more than twenty people in it, eating dinner for the day, but this was a little too small for the size of the tunnel.

He looked over again, and noticed that there was a tunnel behind the miners leading in the other direction, and there should be more people in there.

"More than twenty people, eating!" He walked back and looked at Dezko, "Shall we rush out?" I think this seems like a good opportunity! ”

"That's what I thought too." Dezko nodded, and he pulled a totem pole from his belt, "It's better not to kill." ”

"Then I'm the first!" Diego whispered, speaking of shouting at these goblin venture guys, who else could I be?

"Do it!" Dezko let out a low cry and threw the totem pole out of his hand, inserting it in the middle of a pile of slag around the bend in the tunnel. In the next moment, an earthy yellow aura spread out from the totem in all directions, and almost all the miners were slowed down by the sudden increase in gravity, and they were extremely slow to move.

In the mine, the power belonging to Mother Earth was extremely strong, and even Diego, who rushed out, was affected, and he almost fell on his heels.

He hurried two steps to keep his balance, then picked up the gun in his hand and aimed it at the miners.

"Don't move, put down ......," he said, glancing at what the miners were holding, and then shouted, "Put down the bowl!" ”

"Huh? How do you feel that something is wrong? He thought awkwardly. (To be continued.) )
