"Mobert, what's going on?" Hardings staggered a few steps as the mine swayed and asked the miner in front of him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the three of them went down to the underground mine, relying on the combat power of Curly and Miner all the way, those mutant poisoners did not pose any threat to them. However, at this time, the violent vibration of the entire mine made the three of them feel strange at the same time.

Mobert didn't answer immediately, glancing at the eggs on the rock wall, all of which shattered in one jolt, bursting out of the dead larvae within. "It's the Abyss Poisoner who died." He said with a frown.

"What's that?" The merchant with the goblin on his back asked.

The mine calmed down, and the trio continued to walk deeper into the tunnel. As he walked, the miner replied, "An abyssal beast, a pet beloved by Erton's owner, and all captives that are not killed are sent to 'care' it." ”

"It sounds like the way you take care of it is going to hurt a little." Hardings said, then opened his mouth to ask, "Can its death cause such a big reaction in the mine?" ”

Mobert glanced at him, "That's nature, because all the 'ornaments' in this underground mine come from it. And it is a natural drug-making machine, and even most of the poison in the miasma and poison pool needs to be provided by its hatched larvae, but now it is dead. ”

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" The profiteer asked.

The miner stomped on the larval carcass on the ground and replied, "I hope so." In short, this is a signal for us to hurry. ”

"What do you mean?" After a few steps, Hardings, who was carrying the goblin on his back, was already gasping slightly.

"I, you, our purpose is to kill Utton. And killing this adorable pet must have angered Urton's great master, so things are getting a little troublesome now. "We've got to hurry up and take out Urton before that guy comes." ”

As they spoke, the three of them had come to a fork. He continued, "Further on, there is the maze of poisonous swamps excavated and built by the poison man. Walking through the labyrinth was Urton's hideout, the centerpiece of the entire mine, and he would never leave it. ”

Hearing this, the curly-haired knight, who had been walking at the forefront of the road, stopped.

Tong Hao turned around and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Are you kidding?" Mobert asked in a deep voice.

Hardings even stepped forward and approached the knight: "Curly, are you okay?" We've both taken on that hidden mission, what's up? You don't want to finish this task? ”

The knight just shook his head noncommittally.

"What the hell? You just shake your head, who knows what you mean. "The profiteers don't have a good way. When he took on the mission before, Mobert said that he needed to find a helper to kill Urton. And I have to admit that if there is no curly guy, he alone will only be sent to death if he carries the goblin who has not yet woken up.

"I'm going to meet up with the others." This time, the knight gave a clear answer. "They should be at the Abyss Poisoner."

This answer made Hardings angry a little, Curly Fur was a little surprised by such a decision, and he was in a hurry to rendezvous, obviously worried about the safety of those people. I didn't expect that the president of the Emperor Lion, who looked so arrogant, also had such a righteous side, and was willing to give up the hidden task for the sake of his subordinates and friends.

"Curly, we're not the only ones who come to this mine, right? Are you so sure that it was your Emperor Lion who killed the poisoner? He asked.

"The purpose of bringing people here is not a mission," Speaking of this, Tong Hao's mind once again appeared with the face that fascinated him, "We are here to save people." Since all the captives will be sent to the poisoner, even if they are not the ones who killed the poisoner, they will eventually find it. ”

Hardings laughed, "You're not stupid. Then he shook his head again, "But it's stupid, we know about the poisoner, doesn't mean they know it too, right?" A few minutes ago, I had always thought that killing Urton would save the man you were talking about. What about you? So, where do you think they're going to be more likely? ”

After a series of questions, Tong Hao was silent for a moment. "Lead the way."

"That's right." A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Hardins' mouth. Apparently, the cunning profiteer had succeeded again, and he set his sights on the miners.

So, Mobert walked towards the tunnel fork on the far right.

As I walked forward, the bifurcating tunnel began to expand from narrow at the beginning, and the ground under my feet seemed to carry a bit of moisture. "By the way, Mobert, you always say that the master of Erton, who is he? It seems to be very mysterious, tell me about it. In his spare time, Hardings asked.

"As you said, he's mysterious, and I don't know much about him. I just know that all that Urton is doing now is working for his deed. "But though I have never met, I can be sure that his owner is not an 'ordinary man'." ”

Hardings knows that NPCs in this world have the same opportunities as players, and they can also become owners. Therefore, Erton's deed owner should be the real hidden boss. "How do you know he's not ordinary?" He tried to get the words out of the other person's mouth as much as he could.

"Just by the fact that he uses the entire mine as his farm, you can see this guy's ambition. He's raising an army! He wanted to train all the miners into monsters as much as possible, and he wanted to turn them all into creatures like poisoners. Mobert said.

Indeed, the walking dead who can be manipulated at will and do not know what to fear are the best army foundations, and there is no need to worry about them defecting. Hardings nodded secretly, but he caught the message revealed in the other party's words. "Wait, didn't you say the poisoner was a monster before?"

For today's partner, Mobert did not hide the slightest, and answered one by one: "All the poisoners, they are all human beings, at least some of them." But if you want to, you can transform people into such brutal monsters. ”

"So, if you don't stop it, these miners will eventually turn into the poisoners you say?"

"That can be said, but in reality, these mutant miners are much lower than poisoners. As you saw before, they all have a worm in their bodies. That's what makes them mutate, although these bugs will constantly transform the human body and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the human body, but in fact, before they know it, they have become the real masters of the shell. ”

Mobert's answer made Hardings' scalp tingle, he didn't like the little bugs very much. "The parasites in Erton's body must be more powerful than the others', right?" He asked.

However, the other party shook his head: "Urton? He has no parasites in his body. Although he is willing to work for the strong, he is not willing to become a marionette, especially a worm. ”

"I thought each of you had it in you."

"That's how it should have been," the miner said as he led the way, "and after Oedon, with the help of his master, took control of the Nightcry mines, he began to have more time to do what he wanted. That is, from among the miners, wake up even one person who can talk to him. As far back as I can remember, the long period of talking to himself drove him crazy. ”

"Finally one day, he succeeded, one, two...... As a result of his efforts, a total of eight people regained consciousness. Vicky and I are part of it. Just as we were thanking him with joy, we found that he had done so with one of his master's tasks—to select some of the better cultivators. ”

Hardings and the knight listened quietly.

"My father was a poor blacksmith," said the miner, whose eyes now looked a little hideous, but gave me a soft gaze, "but he had spent all his savings to keep me studying with the city bachelors for a while. So I understand what these parasites mean, but no one wants to believe me, or rather, no one dares to rebel against Erton and his master. ”

"I waited a long time and finally found an opportunity to get away from Urton's surveillance for a while. I fled, but I didn't have any torches, and even if I had, I wouldn't use them. So I could only fumble in the dark, and the pleasure I felt when I came into contact with the venom kept urging me to speed up. Fortunately, I wasn't stupid, and in the dark, I mapped the terrain in my mind and escaped. ”

Hardings now understood why this guy couldn't find his way in the firelight, he came from the darkness.

"Out of the underground mine, I cut it open with a sharp stone." "But although the disgusting parasite was pulled out, it was still ...... Still is...... It's still late......" As he spoke, his whole body twitched in pain as before.

"Hey! Feed! Don't faint again, we don't know the way! Hardings shouted loudly.

But the other party leaned against the wall, painfully enduring the pain in his body, this time, he did not faint. Beads of sweat continued to bubble up from his forehead, and there seemed to be some toxins in those sweats.

It took a long time for the miners to return to normal. He gasped and said a little weakly, "This ...... That's it...... The parasite left me. If I don't take it...... Some poisons, the body will sometimes ...... Extreme discomfort. ”

"Take?" Hardings looked around, "Are you talking about the poison in the pool?" That's a lot! You just drink a little bit. ”

"Leave me alone! I'll be fine soon! Mobert glared at him fiercely: "Don't you understand? The reason I want revenge is because Urton made me the way I am! How could I possibly do what those monsters do? ”

Seeing the other party's persistence, Hardings naturally didn't want to say anything more. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the miner's arm began to molt after this convulsion and spasm.

After regaining his normal color, Mobert continued what he had just said: "Except for my escape, the remaining seven men have become the descendants of Erton, and they have better parasites planted in them. However, there should be only six generals left, and they should be our biggest obstacle. ”

"And six?" That vicky was already a headache before, but I didn't expect there to be six other people! Hardings couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, the wave-haired knight on the side said, "It's not so terrifying. ”

"Okay! You're bragging, aren't you? If you do, call me one! The profiteer said angrily.

The knight gave him a simple answer: "Hmm." ”

Mobert didn't care about the bickering between the two, and as he walked, he looked ahead and said, "Before that, we have to go through the poison swamp maze first." Pay attention to your feet, normal people fall into the poison swamp...... But there will be a heavy price to pay. ”

"How much does it weigh?" Hardings asked.

"You can try." The miner gestured ahead. At some point, the three of them had already arrived in front of the labyrinth. Patches of bubbling black swamps had appeared in front of them, and the turbid black swamp was full of death.

Seeing this, Hahardins smacked his lips: "Forget it." ”

"Don't waste any more time, let's go." As he spoke, Morbert walked onto the narrow path between the swamps, which was only two feet wide.

"Do you really want to go these ways?" The profiteer swallowed, and as soon as he stepped on the road, he felt a little weak under his feet. If you are not careful, you will slide into the poison swamp......

"There's only one way to get through here. But don't worry, I remember the layout of this labyrinth very well, and we won't have to walk for long. Mobert said.

Just as Hardings also forced himself to be persuaded and was about to move forward, he heard the knight on the side speak: "If the six cadres you said come to trouble us at this time, won't we be more than lucky?" ”

"Your uncle! If you can't speak, don't speak! Be quiet! Hardings only complained in his heart that this guy didn't speak, but at this time he talked too much, causing him to walk on the narrow road and sweat all over his body.

But after walking for a while, he finally got used to it and was no longer so scared. Indeed, there is nothing unusual about the surrounding area, except for the poisonous swamp, and even the high walls of the labyrinth. And they have a living map, so they don't need to worry about getting lost.

At this moment, a nasty mosquito was buzzing in his ears.

"Curly, I'm carrying people on my back, and I can't move my hands. You help me shoot that damn mosquito! ”

As soon as Hardings blurted out his words, the miners at the front stopped. "Mosquitoes?"

"That's right!"

"Oops."

Just as Mobert's words fell, a burst of laughter rang out in front of him.

"Little blacksmith, Lord Urton has kept us waiting for you here for a long time! Hee-hee, you're finally here. Four figures appeared horizontally in front of everyone, and one of them actually grew a pair of thin wings and flew in the air.

"Curly! Look at your! Go ahead! Don't forget your bragging cowhide. ”

The knight glanced back at him and nodded calmly. Immediately, he took off the gun from his back and rushed out.

At this moment, Hardings suddenly felt a heavy burden on his body. I only heard a dull voice ringing in my ears:

"Master, let Afu come down."
