Chapter XXXIV

After following the players of the Pingyang Guild for ten minutes, Meng Kang saw them stop.

The deepest part of the cavern was large, with shelves made of long logs everywhere, and in the center there was a cage made of Mithril, in which all the city guards were kept, without exception, awake, but with tired and painful expressions on their faces.

The ground below the cage is covered with runes and asterisks, and many lines are intertwined in a disorderly manner, but it gives people a sense of regular beauty.

"President, we've brought this batch of NPCs."

In the dark part of the mine, where the magic lamp could not shine, someone answered, and the voice was so eerie that the listener was terrified, "Very good, lock it in, and start mining today." ”

The people carrying Fang Hao opened the cage made of Mithril and threw all the NPCs into it, and the NPCs inside did nothing other than express anger when they saw the cage open.

On the ground beneath the cage is a magic circle that suppresses the actions and power of NPCs, and they are completely inactive.

Closing the cage, a player pressed a raised hard block on the Mithril cage, and the magic array under the cage emitted a white light, and Meng Kang in the back clearly saw that there were streams of white light that were withdrawn from the bodies of those NPCs and flowed into the magic array, and every time a white light was withdrawn from the body, the NPC's tired color was aggravated.

The light of the magic array became brighter and brighter, and when it was about to illuminate the entire mine as bright as the outside world, ten translucent white shadows appeared in the mine.

The white shadows were only vague human figures, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but each of them was holding a mining hoe, and I saw them carrying the mining hoe to the mine cave and start mining.

Meng Kang sent a probe to the white shadow closest to him, and the result of the probe was:

Slave miners, undead people, originally humanoid creatures of different races, were sold to the mines to work as coolies and slaves for various reasons, and they needed to work for their masters all their lives, and they had to fulfill the obligations of work regardless of life or death, and usually inhabited hundreds of meters underground, and only came out to work when they were called.

Seeing the introduction, Meng Kang probably also figured out the purpose of the Pingyang Guild to catch NPCs, which is to extract the high-quality combat power of NPCs and convert them into energy to summon slave miners, and slave miners have a high level of mining skills, so they can take these Mithril mines.

Looking at the dark place where there was no sound when a word came out, Meng Kang's heart was very curious about this leader of the Pingyang Guild, what kind of person could not only control the poisonous qilin, but also dare to capture the city guards of the ancient heavenly city.

After exploring clearly, Meng Kang hesitated for a while, this did not seem to be the base camp of the Pingyang Guild, at least along the way, Meng Kang had not seen any other players except for these few people.

"No, one less!" In the darkness, the leader of the Pingyang Guild spoke again, "One less is like an assassin. ”

Xiaozhu exclaimed: "Assassin profession, is it stealth?" I'll just say I didn't feel wrong. ”

The president urged, "What did you say?" Let's be careful! ”

"Just now when we went to transport these NPCs, my body touched a soft thing, I guess it was a human, but they said no, it was really no one after looking for it, it seems that I may have encountered an assassin who is in a stealth state." Xiaozhu told it carefully.

The chairman immediately made a decision and said, "Inform the others to block the exit of the mine with the poisonous qilin, so that he can't escape and leak the news." ”

"What about us?" A group of players asked.

"All use the city return scroll, we are very likely to run into him when we go out, the other party is an NPC, the level is higher than ours, and we can't deal with it." In the darkness, the president opened the scroll of returning to the city and turned into a white light and disappeared.

A player from the Pingyang Guild said: "It's a pity that the entrance to the mine is too small for the Poison Qilin to enter, otherwise you can directly put the Poison Qilin in and deal with that damn NPC assassin." ”

"Shut up, if the assassin is here now, isn't it a leak for you to say that?"

The player looked around and said, "It can't be such a coincidence!" What if it is heard? As long as the poisonous unicorn is called outside for five days, these NPCs will die of thirst, and we only need one day to dig the entrance of the mine. ”

"You said there was a fart here, go back quickly, just listen to the president's arrangement."

Several people took out the scroll of returning to the city one after another and returned to the ancient heavenly city.

"Sure enough, there are no god-like enemies in this world, only pig-like teammates, and there is so much nonsense before leaving, and all the news has been revealed to me, why is my luck so good?" Meng Kang muttered to himself and canceled the stealth state.

Someone sent a message in the message column of his friend, Meng Kang opened it and saw that it was Sanqi's message, "I have eyeliner in the Pingyang Guild, were you in the deepest part of the mine when he evacuated just now?" ”

Meng Kang replied: "It's always been." ”

Sanqi: "That's good, all of them think that you are a high-level NPC, and they don't dare to rush in, you are safe now, I should reveal all the useful news to you when my eyes are withdrawn, and the rest is up to you, I have arranged for someone to guard the magic cannon, just waiting for your news." ”

Only then did Meng Kang understand that it was not that he was unlucky, nor that the other party had a pig teammate, but that now he had a god teammate, a god teammate who could fully understand what he meant and provide any help he wanted.

"Well done, how did you come up with Ann eyeliner?" Meng Kang replied.

Sanqi was as honest as ever, and immediately replied, "I was too lazy to find good leveling points and field bosses by myself, and I directly spent money to buy a few small high-level ones in all the guilds as eyeliner, and now it seems that it is really easy to use." ”

After discussing some plans, Meng Kang turned off the dialog box, came to the Mithril cage, and pressed the hard bulge, as if pressing the power button of an electrical appliance, the magic array immediately darkened, and the slave miners also returned to the underground.

Fang Hao happened to have woken up, saw Meng Kang outside and asked, "Hidden, what's going on for a while?" Has the poisonous unicorn been removed? ”

Concealing the lock-picking skill on the lock on the Mithril cage, the system prompts that the high-level lock is being unlocked, and the success rate is reduced to 2%.

Meng Kang talked to Fang Hao while using the lock-picking skill, "The poisonous qilin can be killed at any time, the question now is how to get you out of this cage, if there is anything you don't understand, ask your subordinates, they should be able to explain it clearly." ”

Fang Hao began to ask about the subordinates who disappeared first, Meng Kang used the lock-picking skill over and over again, and for a while, there were only the voices of a few people in the depths of the mine and the non-stop sound of "pop" and "pop".

Meng Kang frowned, the success rate of the second-level unlocking skill in front of the advanced lock was suppressed to 2%, and the possibility of opening it was very small.

"Do any of you have anything that can improve your lockpicking skills or upgrade your lockpicking skills directly?" Meng Kang interrupted Fang Hao, who was talking.

Fang Hao began to check the packages separately, Fang Hao and the ten people later did not find their own packages, thinking that they had been taken by the adventurers of the Pingyang Guild, and the packages of the other NPCs were still on their backs.

"I have a necklace accessory here, which can comprehensively increase the proc probability of all rare attributes by 2%, and can also increase the success rate of probabilistic skills by 3%." A young NPC throws a necklace out of the cage.

Meng Kang saw that it was level 20 and could be used, so he put it on unceremoniously, as for whether to return it afterwards, hehe, let's talk about it.

"I have a skill book here that can improve the lockpicking skill from level 3 to level 4."

"I have a bonus potion here that adds proficiency to skills such as mining, sewing, and lockpicking, and doubles the proficiency gained in an hour."

In the end, forty or fifty NPCs only came up with these three useful things.

Meng Kang used the proficiency bonus potion, and then kept unlocking the lock, and when the mana was empty, he directly asked the NPC for the blue medicine, and the speed and amount of the blue medicine carried by the NPC to recover mana were very high, which was not comparable to what Meng Kang bought in the store.

Half an hour passed, "Ding, your lockpicking skills have been upgraded to level three, and the lockpicking success rate has increased to 15%. ”

Use the skill book, "Ding, your lockpicking skill is upgraded to level four, and the lockpicking success rate is increased to 25%. ”

Continue to unlock, and the success rate of unlocking advanced locks has finally increased to 10%.

Even then, it took two hours for the lock of the cell door to be opened.

Meng Kang moved all the NPCs out of the cage and put them outside the range of the magic array, let them adjust it, and after they regained their combat effectiveness, Meng Kang sent a message to Sanqi and said: "Brother Sanqi, the mission is over, and after giving the order, let's get ready to get the reward." ”
