Chapter 52: Johnny Orsson

The mine is dark and cold, and the cobwebs are thick.

Mochi took out the artifact fragment to illuminate the path ahead, and the missing artifact fragment may never be able to put together a complete artifact, so Moqi simply used this thing as a lighting item. The cave was littered with cobwebs, dusty and old, old and eerie, from under which a corpse-stained arm would protrude.

The old miner's lamp hung on the wooden beam, and when the light shone through, countless spiders the size of fingertips quickly dispersed in all directions, making a rustling sound. Moqi guessed that the lamp was completely broken, and even if it was good, he didn't want to touch the cobweb-covered switch.

The cave did not look safe, and in some places the wooden frames supporting the roof had collapsed, revealing signs of cracking and corrosion on the wooden beams that lay across the middle of the road. Mo Qi lowered his palms and made a gesture to signal everyone to light their feet.

Avena was a little scared, and although she tried to maintain her usual calm and grace, Mochi still felt her hand grabbing the fabric of Mochi's heart.

Click, click, click......

After walking less than thirty meters away, there was a sound of knocking on the stone wall along the top of the mine, and the sound of knocking echoed in the narrow dark space, and the three of them had no way to determine the source of the sound.

Mochi stopped, he held his breath and paused for a moment. After the knocking sound disappeared, he chose to move on. This is the nest of cave spiders, and needless battles will only cause a siege by the spider colony.

"There seems to be something up ahead." Akalin spoke suddenly.

"Why are you talking all of a sudden? You want to scare people to death! Mochi and Anvena protested at the same time, the two of them having forgotten all about Akalin's presence. The stalker spoke suddenly, and both Mochi and Anvena broke out in a cold sweat.

"Okay...... I am silent. Reluctantly, Akalin went into stealth again.

Walking past two wooden support columns, the ground becomes open. This is where the tunnels converge, and with the glowing artifact fragments held up a bit, Moqi can see the entrances to the seven tunnels on Thursday and Saturday.

On the ground, all kinds of tools, wooden boxes, carts, and iron pickaxes are piled up horizontally......

Just as Mochi looked down for a tool he could use, he felt Anvina tug at the corner of his coat—

"Mr. Mochi, look at the ...... over there," Anvina pointed to the wooden platform in the center of the mine, on which there were seven white shadows. Mochi slowly approached the wooden tables, and the shadows of the wooden platforms writhed violently as if they felt the change in light, looking like Halloween ghosts draped in white sheets.

"These should be the fishmen we're looking for. Hurry up and do it......" After Mochi said this to Avena, the two of them began to act, trying to cut through the cobwebs with their blades.

Strangely, though, Akalin was nowhere to be seen, he wasn't near Mochi, and the light from the artifact fragments had dimmed a lot, making the abandoned mine even more terrifying.

Anvina took her long sword and tried for a long time, and finally said, "Mr. Mochi, my sword can't cut this cobweb......"

The same situation happened to Mochi. It looks like a thin and soft spider silk, but it has better toughness than steel. The stone dagger in Moqi's hand, there is no way to take this spider silk.

"Woo woo woo ......," the fish-man in the cobwebs cried desperately.

What to do? Will there be any tools in this hole?

Mochi searched around the cave and found only a rusty shovel.

What to do? Just when Mochi's mouth was dry with anxiety, his gaze inadvertently swept over the artifact fragment that was placed on the ground. The cobwebs around the artifact resemble threads that have been roasted by flames, and the silk naturally shrinks and breaks in front of the artifact fragments, revealing rocky ground that is not covered in spider silk where the artifact is placed.

Mochi couldn't figure out how that worked, but all he needed now was to know that the shard could cut through the webs.

He picked up the golden shards and slowly cut them into the cocoon-shaped web. The splinters of the body that shimmered with golden light were as easy as a scythe to cut through the weeds. The spider silk that the sharp sword was helpless with, but it hung limply in front of this fragment.

"It works! Mr. Moch, the cobwebs have been cut! Anvena said excitedly.

As the cocoon made of spider silk was cut, a pair of large, hazy eyes appeared in front of Mochi and Avena.

"We're here to save you, shhh While Mochi peeled off the cocoon, he made a silent gesture to the little one.

The fish-man tadpole named Walala nodded very sensibly.

It took a few more minutes, and the other fish-man tadpoles in the village—wah-woo-la, wow-ah-la, ah-la-la, cluck-la-la, and ah-la-la—were rescued one after another.

All the fish-man tadpoles that should be saved have been saved, but why is there a living cocoon surrounded by spider silk? Mo Qi looked at the largest white cocoon, puzzled.

Forget it, it's all in vain, let's open the white cocoon first.

Mochi slowly slid the last of the cocoons away with the artifact fragments.

It's a pity that it's not the fishman from Fishman Village who is wrapped inside, but a blood elf.

What's even more pity is that this blood elf is a man.

Mochi checked the other party's name-

【Johnny Aosen】

What a familiar name!

Look at the suffix of the name again-

【High Play Guild】

It turned out to be Johnny Orson of the "High Play Guild"! Mochi suddenly wanted to re-sew the cocoon.

Seeing this name, many people may think that this is a player or a traverser, but it is not. Johnny Orson is an authentic NPC, and the reason why he has a suffix is purely Blizzard's spoof psychology. But in this way, in his previous life, Moqi had completed a few tasks with Johnny Orson, and for this guy, Moqi only had two evaluations: teasing and cheating.

"Ahh I was finally saved. I've been in this cocoon for days...... Johnny Orson puffs greedily as he pants greedily.

"Let me see, who saved the strongest hunter player?" Johnny Orson moved his neck and arms to look at Mochi and the fishmen behind him.

"The light burned me...... See what I see? It was a couple of ugly and stupid fishmen who saved me...... If the people in the guild find out, I'll be kicked out of the guild again. Johnny Orson said, clutching his forehead.

Mochi couldn't contain the emotion in his heart and kicked Johnny Orson in the knee.

Johnny clutched his knees and shouted, "Whew...... What are you doing? You rude fishman, do you know who you're up against......"

"Shhhhhh Do you hear that? Anvena interrupted the Blood Elf Hunter, and everyone pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

Click, click-

The sound of banging on the stone wall was getting closer and closer to them.

Click, click-

The sound grew more and more, and converged into the mine where they were.

Mochi held up the glowing shards aloft as a dense mass of copper-colored spiders swarmed towards them at the top of the mine!
