After the humans hiding in the cave said words of thanks to the gods for a while, Hao Ran heard panicked footsteps and a 'crackling' sound coming from the cave.

But when the human in the cave walked to the exit of the cave, he seemed to hesitate again, and stood at the door of the cave in silence for a long time, without speaking, not knowing what he was thinking?

"What's wrong? Why not open the door? Haoran glanced at the still closed stone door in surprise and asked suspiciously.

"You...... Are you really human? A somewhat Nono voice suddenly came out, as if it was doubting Haoran's human identity.

"......" Hearing this, Haoran was very helpless, and said depressedly: "Please! Do you think a demon will talk to you here? …… My name is Hao Ran, and I'm an arcane mage from New Tristem! ”

"New Tristrom...... Mystic Mage......"

There was a 'boom' sound, and the closed stone door suddenly opened a crack, and one eye looked out through the gap. When the humans in the stone cave saw Haoran's appearance and dress, they screamed in surprise, quickly opened the stone door, and rushed out.

"Really...... You are the powerful arcane mage who destroyed the demon queen, and you are finally saved! ”

I saw a middle-aged man with a swarthy mining pickaxe standing in front of Haoran, his expression was extremely excited, and he said incoherently: "I've seen you...... Yes! No, no, I've heard your name. If you hadn't killed the Demon Queen, my family and I would have died in New Tristem...... Thank you, very much, Your Excellency the Mystic! ”

See this scene. Hao Ran was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he was quite famous in New Tristem, and almost everyone knew him. But. A lot of ordinary people don't seem to have a very good impression of him.

"You are?" Haoran blinked, stared at the man in front of him who looked like a miner, and asked suspiciously.

"Ahh I...... I'm Tahuon, a miner! Your Excellency the Mystic! Tashuen raised the pickaxe in his hand and said proudly.

Hao Ran thought that the person in front of him was just being chased by the demon and made a little wolf! How do you know that he still guessed wrong, the benevolent brother in front of him is not a wolf bèi like a miner, but a miner himself.

"It turns out that he is really a miner......" Haoran nodded and thought in his heart, and then he remembered the human corpse he had seen. He asked, "When I came in, I saw several human corpses, did you come with you?" Who are your companions? ”

"No, we're an employment relationship! They were looking for veins of metals and gemstones. I hired to help them find them, but many of them were killed by demons when they came in! Tahuon shook his head and said.

"Did they come with a lot of people? And where are the others? Haoran frowned and asked suspiciously.

Look for veins of metals and gemstones. Haoran didn't believe in this reason. Since entering the second floor. Hao Ran himself could clearly feel the breath of the angel, if he didn't guess wrong, those people must have come for the fragments of the sword. As for Tahuon, maybe it's just a façade.

"Yes, a lot of people! There are probably more than 30 of them, right? Tashuon looked up and thought for a moment before speaking.

"So many people? …… Do you know who they are? The more he thought about it, the more Hao Ran felt that this group of people was very suspicious, and now the place of refuge was full of demons. Not enough to eat, not warm to wear. I'm still in the mood to look for a vein.

"This ...... I don't know, they didn't tell me, they just asked me to help them find the veins! Tahuon shook his head and said.

"Why are you here on your own, since they've asked you to help them find the veins?" Haoran wondered.

"Forehead ......"

Old Tashuon's face flushed, but it was not obvious on his dark face, and he was silent for a moment before he said embarrassedly, "Originally, I was going to help them...... But later, when they encountered a large group of demons, and watching their people die one by one, I was so frightened that I fled first! ”

Tashuen looked up at Hao Ran, but found that Hao Ran was wearing a mask, and he couldn't see his expression at all, so he continued: "After I escaped, I encountered a demon again on the road, and there was no way, so I had to flee inside...... I've worked here before, and I know that there is a secret passage that leads to the second floor, and this is the place where I used to rest, and it's safe, I want to hide for a while, and someone should find it! ”

"And where are they now?" Haoran saw that Taxiun's eyes were sincere, not like he was lying, so he believed what he said.

And for Tashuon's escape, he did not show any disdain. Because Haoran understands that in the reincarnation of life, a person has a life, and it is not a shameful behavior to be afraid of death.

If you encounter something that cannot be done, Haoran will also leave early; If you know that you can't do it, it is estimated that you will encounter a force that cannot be pitted, and you will choose to face it as a last resort.

Like, just after fighting with a warrior-level corpse demon to the point of collapse, if it weren't for the corpse demon's great earthquake that trembled too suddenly, he would definitely choose to retreat after destroying the plague bat's nest, and kill him after his mental strength recovered.

"This ...... I didn't know that I never saw them again after I left! Tashuon shook his head again and said.

"Well......" Haoran nodded, thought for a moment, and continued: "Okay, you hide here for a while now, I'll go in and have a look......"

"That...... Your Excellency the Mystic! I ......"

Hao Ran was interrupted by Tahuon in the middle of his words, looking at Tahuon's sad look, Hao Ran thought that it was estimated that Tahuon was afraid that the demon would find here, and at that time, with his small body, it would not be enough to stuff the demon's teeth.

"Don't worry, those demons at the entrance have been killed by me, you can just wait here with peace of mind, I'll be back soon......" Hao Ran thought about it again, then took out some food and fresh water from the contract space, handed it to Tahuon, and continued: "This food is enough for you to last a few days, and I will take you out when I come back!" If you follow me, I won't be able to take care of you, so it's safer here! ”

"Above...... You've slain all the demons above. Tahuen didn't go to pick up the food in Hao Ran's hand, but stared at Hao Ran in amazement for a long time before he said slowly: "How is this possible, where are there not only warrior-level demons, but also three plague bats' nests, even if there are more than 30 of them, there are heavy casualties!" ”

"So they met too! However, you don't have to worry about the demons are dead, so you can just wait here with peace of mind. Haoran nodded and said.

"Great, if those demons are dead, I can get out myself." Tashuon said with excitement on his face, dancing with his hands.

"The mine is so big, what if you run into other demons?" (To be continued......)
