Chapter 31: The Cave Stranger
"The voice!" Urton, who was about to have a seizure, stopped when he heard the somewhat chilling voice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Are there really strange ghosts?" A rogue behind him panicked.
Urton laughed out loud, patted the guy on the cheek and said, "Idiot! That's the sound of money! As he spoke, he glared at Yu Yi on the side viciously, and then followed the sound and ran to the depths of the mine.
Looking at the few hooligans who left one after another, Yu Yi couldn't help but be stunned: "I was punched, and it was over?" ”
"Money can cause any strife, and it can settle any strife." Hiron replied lightly.
"Where is the money? Why didn't I see it? ”
"I also investigated the matter of the Night Cry Mining Area last night, and in addition to the legend that Miss Mi Wei told you, there is another generally accepted theory."
"Tell me about it."
As the two of them walked towards the cave, Hir Ang said, "There is an extremely rare ore called the Divine Cry Crystal Mine, which is extremely precious. When forging equipment, even if only a small piece is added, the forged equipment is at least gold-level. ”
"That's amazing! Does that kind of stone cry? ”
"In ancient legend, it was discovered by the son of Arnold, the god of forging, who gave his life to find this treasure mine, and Arnold wept bitterly for it, and tears of grief melted into the ore. That's why the ore wails. ”
Thinking back to the voice just now, Yu Yi drooped his eyelids and said with a smile: "Is God crying so ugly? ”
"Most of the legends aren't true, Lance." Sylon was not amused, and explained solemnly: "Actually, this crystal ore has a companion organism called resentworm. The insect's cry is like a whining howl, and the so-called crying sound is supposed to be made by it. And the people of Wildfire City also generally believe that the so-called night cry in the mining area in the past was the sound of these resentful insects. ”
Yu Yi suddenly realized, no wonder after hearing the disgusting voice just now, that Urton was like being beaten with chicken blood. "But this time there are not necessarily any resentful insects in the mine, don't forget to run away, that kid said that there are strange ghosts here, and it may be the voice of the ghost miners just now."
He thought to himself that if he told those hooligans about the strange ghosts, he wondered if they would be as excited as they were now. 'Absolutely!' He replied to himself that in this situation, no matter how much he talked to those hooligans about strange ghosts, it should only be regarded as a lie made up to try to swallow the hedrons.
"In short, the purpose of our trip is the Worm Blood Mine, whether it is a resentful worm or a strange ghost, we will leave as soon as we get the Worm Blood Mine."
Yu Yi also nodded in agreement: "If you can really find the Worm Blood Mine, it means that the kid didn't lie about this mine before, then this is indeed not a place to stay for a long time." ”
As they walked, the two came to a fork in the road, and there were three forks in total, each of which seemed to be bottomless. Just as he was hesitating which way to go, a figure stepped out of the mine on the left.
"How...... What's wrong with just the two of you? What about them? What about the five guys? ”
As soon as he heard Mi Wei's voice, Yu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't hear the strangeness in the other party's voice. asked, "Sister, where is your lamp?" It's scary to walk in the dark here. Didn't you hear that wail just now? ”
"I didn't hear that."
"We and those five idiots heard it, and they thought it was the Divine Cry Mine Crystal and went to find the sound." Yu Yi said.
Maybe she was too excited, and Mi Wei's voice trembled a little: "What?!" You... Didn't you tell them about the strangers? ”
"Aren't you going to hide it from them?" Yu Yi didn't have a good airway.
"Oh... Yes, yes, it's me, it's me who hides from them. She said incoherently, "The Worm Blood Mine has been found, come quickly, you have collected enough, you hurry up and leave this hellish place." ”
It was only at this time that Yu Yi heard that the other party was a little wrong, but he couldn't say what it was. He followed the other party and said, "Don't worry, what that kid said before may not be true." Besides, those five guys also have hands and feet, can't they run when they are in danger? You'd better find out if there's any trace of the 'fat head' here, and if not, let's go together." ”
"That man is telling the truth, and I have found the missing companion."
I don't know why, after hearing the girl's words, Yu Yi suddenly had a premonition that he didn't want to. "Found it? Where is it? As soon as he asked, he saw a little light on the ground of the mine in front of him, it was a lantern, it should be Mi Wei's lantern.
"See? Right there, so is the Worm Blood Mine. ”
Hearing her words, Yu Yi couldn't help but speed up his pace, and every time he took a step closer to the light, his heartbeat would speed up. When he saw what was under the light, his heart seemed to stop suddenly. Next to the lantern on the ground, there is a dead body!
Instead of his shock, Sir Ang walked up to examine the body, and then turned back and said, "It looks like he committed suicide." ”
"The legend is true! There are strange ghosts here! There are ghost mine owners! It grabbed the fat head as its slave, and he still had shackles on his feet! Mi Wei said her opinion on the side, "There are worm blood mines all around here, you guys dig quickly, dig enough, and leave quickly." ”
"What about you?" Yu Yi asked.
"I'm going to find those five idiots, they're probably in trouble right now. If that's the case, it's all my responsibility to hide......"
Yu Yi let out a long breath, patted the girl's thin shoulder comfortingly, and said, "Even if you tell them, they won't believe it." ”
"The point is, I didn't." Mi Wei clenched her fists and lowered her head and said, "Okay, you guys dig quickly." ”
'Mining successful, get a piece of Worm Blood Ore (Small)'
'Mining successful, get a piece of Worm Blood Ore'
……
With the sound of Sylon mining with a pickaxe, enough ore was soon mined. In silence, several people returned the same way.
As soon as he returned to the fork in the road, a familiar scream came from the nearby mine. Mi Wei didn't say a word, and walked away with her tomahawk. Yu Yigang wanted to catch up with her, but was stopped by Sil Ang: "Lance, let's go!" Your senior sister will be fine! ”
Yu Yi couldn't believe his ears, and said, "What? Did I hear me right? What kind of bastard are you talking about? Where is the Hill Ang who accompanied me to hunt Pegasus Pig that day? ”
"These strange ghosts...... I haven't seen them either, so I don't know ...... them."
"Enough!" Yu Yi stopped his words, "Hehe, Xi'erang, you are really an afterthought, master, I just like to do dangerous things!" With that, he chased after Mi Wei in the direction she had left.
Indeed, since he got to know his deed owner, he has almost always taken risks. Shiron shook his head and followed. He wasn't afraid of danger, he was afraid of strange spirits, he was afraid of something else.
For Yu Yi, if you can't even do what you think is right, the game is basically not fun. All he wanted to do now was take Mivi away safely. And the reaction of this guy today was much more than he expected, but he didn't have time to think about it now.
As the mine deepened, the road became narrower and narrower, and soon it came to an end. Mi Wei just stood there stunned.
"What's going on? The voice is obviously coming from here, why is there nothing? Seeing him coming, the girl looked at him with that look of help.
"Shhh......hhh
After the silence fell silent, the mine fell into a deathly silence. Eventually, Yu Yi put down the lantern and attached his ears to the uneven ground.
"Ding, Ding, Ding......"
Really!
Before Yu Yi could say what he had discovered, the voice of Hilon came from the mine behind him: "There should be an underground mine hidden down here." ”
"Why are you here?" Yu Yi's tone was not good.
The archer, however, did not answer him, and after searching around on his own, he used his pickaxe to erect the pillars on the top of the mine. Suddenly, there was a shaking in the mine.
The source of the shaking came from beneath their feet, and a moment later, a stone staircase leading to the ground appeared before them.
"I'll go, it's amazing, Hil's ......," Yu Yi couldn't help but exclaim.
But the other party was as unflattering as always, and said calmly: "Let's go, hurry up." ”
The three of them walked down the stone steps one after another, and as soon as they walked down a few steps, a wave of heat greeted them, and the air became turbid.
The further down the "ding, ding, ding" goes, the clearer the sound of mining becomes. When they reached the bottom of the stone steps, the cave was no longer as dark as before, and oil lamps hung on the walls of the underground cave.
Even though Yu Yi and Mi Wei had been prepared to see the "strange ghost" before, they were still speechless by the scene in front of them at this time.
Countless miners are repeating an endless movement in the underground tunnels, and unlike the fat heads found before, they have no shackles on their hands and feet.
But they were naked, they were skinny, and they fought the ore here over and over again, like machines that didn't feel tired. Even if a few strangers appeared, they just glanced over here with blank faces, and then continued to pick up the pickaxe.
Yu Yi is sure that they are not some strange miners, they are all people, living people. And they are not working for the ghost mine owner, if they have to say yes, then the overseers wearing military armor on the mine road are their ghost mine owners.
After seeing the equipment on those overseers that was identical to that of the Wildfire City guards, Yu Yi suddenly realized that there were no strange ghosts in this mine at all, and some were just a group of exploiters. Those so-called missing people should have been caught here to become miners!
Admittedly, these exploiters are very clever in their methods. Humanity yearns for freedom, and the best way to prevent miners from escaping is to dehumanize them. In addition to the new miners who have been shackled, those who have long been subjected to inhumane treatment and oppressive work have gradually become inhumane. Until they die, they will all be tools of the ruler.
An indescribable sense of disgust rose from Yu Yi's heart, so strong that he was a little startled himself, as if he were instinctive. Faintly, a picture seemed to flash through his mind, as if it was a memory of the past.
At the same time, an overseer also saw a stranger who had broken in. "Hey! Who are you? He shouted, and all the overseers turned their eyes in this direction.
Suddenly, the three of them were surrounded.
