When a few people returned to the mine, the atmosphere was completely different.

"Thankfully!"

First of all, Captain Hua strode up to greet him, looking very excited: "You are safe and sound!" ”

"Captain Flower, you guys are ......"

"Just now, the bat swarm suddenly dispersed, and I was worried about your safety, and I was about to ......."

"I see, Captain Flower, we found ...... in the cavern below"

"What? There is such a ......"

……

Chirp, crooked, another conversation. Rin didn't bother to listen and walked to the front. At the exit over there, the gathered bats had disappeared without a trace, and even the big net had been removed. Turning his gaze, the shirtless NPC and a few soldiers were busy arranging for other miner NPCs to carry the wounded, apparently preparing to leave.

"Understood, what is going on underground, I will report to the captain as soon as possible. It is not advisable to stay here for long, and those bats do not know if they will return, so it is better for us to leave as soon as possible, everyone. ”

"What the captain said is very true, I'll wait ......"

"Then there is labor......

……

Wow, the quest prompt popped up.

"The task of finding the miners is completed, and assist Captain Hua to escort the miners out of the mine safely."

If you follow the normal process of the quest, the quest should be close to the end and will end soon. Rin glanced at the follow-up mission, thinking, a little hesitant.

Silk was the most anxious, and as soon as the conversation ended, she ran out: "Quick, let's go." ”

"Wait a minute." Pu Pu was afraid of being left behind.

"It's too late." The phoenix eye blue is very sensible, and even noticed the time to brush the dungeon.

"Try it, hey, let's go!"

Su Si shouted at Chen Ming, who didn't know when he was standing next to the exit: "Good dog doesn't get in the way, let's go." ”

Chen Ming stretched out his hand with a smile: "Beauty first." ”

"I won't group you next time!"

"Ah don't, work hard like me, let the mermaid ......"

"This righteous man—"

Suddenly, Captain Hana's voice rang out in the mine. Everyone and NPCs stopped. As soon as she turned around, she realized that as the one who should pay the most attention to time and efficiency, Rin was at the end, and looking at his appearance, she didn't mean to leave. Did you give up? Not only Cusscuta, but even Pu Pu and Phoenix Eye Blue were puzzled. None of them noticed that Chen Ming, whose mouth had not stopped for a day, not only took the initiative to shut up uncharacteristically at this moment, but also seemed to be a little surprised.

"-What's wrong? But hurt? "Captain Hua has said it all.

"What? How is it possible, master ......"

Wrong!

Halfway through speaking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. The plot dialogue should only be started by the captain who applied for the dungeon. And now, the NPC is not paying attention to itself.

"Captain Hua, take the liberty of asking......"

Rin didn't open his mouth, but the system's voice automatically sounded: "That brother once said that he entered the mine with 17 villagers, is he mistaken?" ”

"This ......," Captain Hua looked back.

"That's right, they're all villagers I found from down the mountain, what's wrong?" The shirtless man walked out.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

After a pause, Rin's voice revealed a very serious tone: "It's just, may I ask Your Excellency, you said that there are a total of 17 villagers, right?" Confirm that I am not mistaken, is it 17? ”

Dahan nodded, unusually sure: "Of course, they were brought by me personally, how could they be mistaken?" ”

"So, you said that there are 5 villagers trapped underground, would you be mistaken?"

"Mistaken? It's a matter of human life, how is it possible! Are you a person who cares about human life? Dahan was obviously displeased.

Of course it doesn't mean that, it's just ...... You say there are 17 villagers, 5 of them trapped in the underground mine, but there we see 6 bodies! ”

"This, this is impossible, how can it be 6, obviously 5! You, you're framing ......."

Dahan was anxious, and his face was red with anger: "Do you mean that I, Wu someone, carelessly cares about people's lives?" You, you have trapped me in injustice! Wronged, Captain Hua, he, he spews blood, you have to call the shots for Wu, look, look, all the villagers are here, you can ask the truth, if Wu tells a half-word lie, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed......."

"This ......," Captain Hana looked at Rin.

"Brother Tai, don't worry, I didn't say you made up a lie." Rin shook her head.

"What, what do you mean?"

“……”

"How do I know ......"

The three women were completely confused when they heard this, and they looked at each other as if they were falling into a fog.

Dahan got angry, pointed at Rin and angrily: "Then you, you say, what do you mean?" Today, if you don't make it clear and don't give Wu an explanation, I will never spare you! ”

"Don't worry, don't worry......"

After a pause for a few seconds, Rin's voice rose again: "Brother, you said that 17 people are right, then, the 6 corpses I saw underground are also true, and you said that only 5 people are trapped in the ground, well, if you and I are not lying, then ...... According to Brother Tai, 5 out of 17 people are trapped, so there should be 12 people here, right? ”

"Of course, of course, look, everyone, isn't this exactly 12 people?"

"But how to explain the sixth corpse!"

"You, of course you're lying!"

"What if I don't?"

"How is it possible, you are obviously lying......"

"What if someone killed a villager in the middle of the mine collapse and got in with the 12 people?"

"How can you ......?"

In vain, the big man was suffocated, and the whole cave was silent. After a long while, the big man said, "How, how is it possible?" How can we not know that there are living people here......"

"If you recognize it, it doesn't mean that other people also recognize it, and if other people do, you may not remember it, even if you remember it all, what if this person covers his face? Can you still recognize it? ”

"This ......"

NPCs have a systematic plot setting, which is much faster than the player's response. While the Silks were still a little dazed, all the NPCs looked at a badly injured miner lying on a simple stretcher. Among all the miners, he is the only one who even wraps most of his head and face. The two miners who were responsible for carrying the stretcher stood up in an instant.

"Initial ......"

Rin's question rang out in the cave, "Who bandaged him?" ”

There was silence for a few seconds, and no one answered. Rin's voice continued, "Since you said that you know all the villagers you brought? Do you recognize this person? Who do you think he is? ”

Dahan shouted with certainty: "Of course I recognize him, he is Xiao Li of Nishimura." You don't have to be foolish! Captain Hua, it's obvious that he lied, and he has to quibble......"

"Don't worry, since you're so sure, why don't you go over and uncover it yourself? If it is the person you are talking about, even if it is inconvenient to speak, the appearance and characteristics will not change. But who else recognized him? ”

……

It's quiet.

"If Hua is not mistaken, there are only 4 people from the West Village, and 3 of them have all died underground!"

By this time, Captain Hua had sensed something strange and was inclined to believe Rin's guess. After interjecting, he waved his hand and motioned for a few nearby soldiers to come around.

"No, it's impossible, Captain Hua, how can you believe this liar, it's obviously Xiao Li, don't believe it, I'm ...... now"

The big man ran to the side of the stretcher, squatted down and reached out to scratch the cloth belt on the wounded's face: "Look, you ...... You, you, you're not, woo-ah-ah-ah!! ”

In front of everyone's eyes, the sturdy body of the screaming big man shrank like a leaky ball, rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. A few seconds later, the screaming stopped abruptly, and then in just a dozen seconds, a living flesh-and-blood strong man turned into a dry corpse with only skin and bones in front of Rin and a group of NPCs.

Even though I know it's a game, the picture still sends chills down my spine.

"Hmph, hmph—"

Suddenly, the miner, who should have been seriously injured, slowly stood up amid a deep sneer. On his body, the bandages that were originally used to bandage were all alive, fluttering and writhing, like tentacles. When the surrounding miners saw such a scene, they were immediately frightened and scattered. However, before the nearby miners had time to take a few steps, several bandages shot out like arrows, and 'poofed' through their hearts, stabbing them alive and sucking them into dried corpses.

Rin watched as the bandage sent blood back to the badly injured miner like an infusion tube, and her heart fluttered. It's not that he's afraid, after all, no matter how terrifying it is, it's just a game, and the reason why he feels cold all over his body is because of the rich purple mist emanating from the other party's body - the real danger is second only to the highest level of black purple monsters!

"Holy!"

Chen Ming stood at the exit and couldn't help but scold: "This is unscientific!" ”

"Everyone, get out of here!"

Captain Hua seemed to be aware of the danger like the player, and turned his head and shouted for Rin and the rest of the miners to escape, while he stepped forward with his weapon: "All obey the order, form a formation!" ”

"Yes!"

Six or seven soldiers spread out, surrounding the mysterious miner for nothing.

"I can't help myself! Hmph, since you were discovered, you don't want to leave alive! ”

"Be careful!"

As soon as the warning fell, the mysterious miner waved his hand, and the cloth belt on his body attacked the surrounding soldiers like a snake, and at the same time, he spat out a mouthful of purple fireballs and shot them towards the entrance of the cave. Several miners had already run to the exit, and when they saw that they were about to be hit, Chen Ming gritted his teeth and pushed it up in time, and with a 'bang', the wooden shield shattered.

", broken armor, can't top!"

"Everyone, get out of here! I won't be able to wait long before I tell the captain about it...... Demon you dare! Eat me a shot—"

In just a dozen seconds, the soldiers besieging the mysterious miner fell 2. Captain Hua was furious, knowing that there was a huge disparity in strength, but he still attacked him fearlessly.

Dodder was a little confused: "Is it a boss?" What to do? ”

"I can't fight!"

If it's a red monster with NPC assistance, Rin might think about it, but it's a purple monster. Seeing that the phoenix-eyed blue was about to go up to help, he hurriedly blocked it, and at the same time shouted at Pu Pu who was in a daze: "Withdraw!" ”

"Haha-"

The mysterious miner laughed in a deep voice, bounced Captain Hua away with a cloth belt, and stretched out his hand: "All the ants, stay!" ”

Sou! Sou! Sou!

In an instant, there was a loud sound in the air, and dozens of bandages spun into spears, raining down on Rin and a group of NPCs. The attack was so fierce, dense, and fast that it didn't give people a chance to dodge at all.

"Grass, Mortal Plot ......"

A boss of this level is simply not something that players can match now or even for a period of time. The only explanation, Rin can think of, is that this plot is a must for the player......

"Broken!"

With a bang, the silver light exploded in a flash, and dozens of cloth spears were twisted into pieces and turned into rags.

"Dare to be presumptuous in Jianguangyi, I'm tired of you! Get out of the way! ”

In the gap between Rin's mind and the momentary downtime, the silver figure turned into a stream shadow and rushed into the mine, crashing into the mysterious miner with a thunderbolt. The latter seemed to know that it was powerful, and the previous arrogance was swept away, and with a cold 'hum', he directly gave up Captain Hua and the soldiers, and turned all the attacks around. Suddenly, hundreds of strips of cloth twisted into a strand, carrying purple qi towards the silver rays.

Boom –

Silver and purple light burst out. The fuchsia mysterious miner snorted and quickly retreated. The silver figure flipped twice in the air, and 'thud' fell to the ground, smashing into a small crater.

Rin looked at it intently and couldn't help but 'I'm damned'. I never thought that Li Yi, the commander of the army who looked ordinary and ordinary from the beginning, would be so awesome. Especially now, with his silver dazzling armor, red tasseled spear, tall and straight, he is simply blinded by countless dog eyes...... It is said that the Buddha relies on gold, and people rely on clothes, and it turns out that NPCs can also change their clothes.

Li Yi stood up and pointed at the mysterious miner with a gun: "I didn't expect that Lord Bingtong's guess really came true!" There are demons like you hiding under the noses of the Empire! But now that you're here today, don't even think about leaving here! Hua Rong, you protect a few righteous people to leave, and the rest of the people obey the order! Seal the exit! ”

"Yes!"

Including Captain Hua, there were only 5 surviving soldiers, and most of them were wounded, but Rao's morale was still high.

"Humph! Unexpectedly, it still alarmed you! In that case......"

The mysterious miner had one hand, and his blood soared: "The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, so I'll let you go today." The coming day is long, and when I return, I will definitely wash you in blood, haha......"

"Don't want to escape!"

Li Yi glared angrily, stepped on the ground, and threw out the silver spear: "Imperial honor!" "The light of the silver spear surged with the roar, turning into a silver dragon, instantly piercing through the blood light and plunging into the cave wall.

"Ahh

With a scream, the mysterious miner burst open, turning into dozens of purple-red bats of different sizes, jumping out of the air with a 'chirp', and disappeared into the dim pit in a blink of an eye, leaving only a resentful howl echoing in the mine: "Li Yi, the day the door of the deep prison is opened, today's hatred, Pei will be returned a thousand times and ten thousand times!" ”

Li Yi turned around, hesitated slightly, then sighed and wisely abandoned the pursuit.

"Hua Rong, don't chase it, this demon has a bloody method, he runs for his life sincerely, with our strength, it is difficult to catch up, besides, if he is forced to be anxious, the villagers outside will suffer again."

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Hua looked back at the few soldiers lying in a pool of blood, looking very unwilling, but still nodded his head.

Rin's voice sounded: "Captain Li Yibing ......"

"Oh, little brother, I feel at ease to see that you are safe."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Well, it's a long story, well, you also saw the demon just now? He is an evil demon who cultivates the blood art of the deep hell......"

"How does the commander know that we are in distress......"

"Just outside, a group of bats suddenly jumped out of the mine, with this evil aura, I felt bad, so I came in, I didn't think ......"

"Thank you so much! If the commander hadn't arrived in time, I'd have died on the spot! ”

"Hey, if you want to say thank you, it should be Li who has thanked everyone. In fact, some time ago, when the mine collapsed, the commander of the military had already noticed the abnormality and sent me to investigate. Afraid of delaying the construction period, I took advantage of the situation to conceal my identity and secretly act in the vicinity in the name of the commander of the army, but I never expected that this evil demon was hiding in the depths of the mine, no wonder I couldn't find him all the time......"

"Concealing identity? Captain, you are ......"

"Heh, little brother, Captain Li Yi is really the first vanguard general under the command of Lord Bingtong, and he is very famous in the entire Yishui City!" After Hua Rong arranged the task for the soldiers, he interjected and came in.

"Just your mouth! Little brother, don't be surprised, Li is not sincere to you, it's just that the stakes are very high, and Li doesn't want to involve you and others, so he has to ......"

"It's okay...... it's okay"

……

The rest is basically inconsequential plot dialogue. Rin waited with the three daughters and Chen Ming for a while, until a group of soldiers came in from outside, and Li Yi began to end the conversation: "If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid Li Yi wouldn't have found this evil demon, I'm really grateful, after today, Li will report truthfully to the military department and make a credit for you." Originally, when such a thing happened, Li should have returned to Yidu immediately to report to Lord Bingtong, but you have also seen that there are many affairs here, and you have to beware of the evil demon going and returning, for a while, Li is afraid that he will not be able to leave. Since you are going to return to the capital, Li has a reluctant request. Although the evil demon has retreated, but the demon acts extremely, this time he is frustrated, he must be unwilling, this time I go back to the capital, can you report the news to the military commander first, so that the adult can make preparations in advance, just in case? ”

"Of course, it is incumbent on ......"

"You are indeed loyal people, and I am very grateful! Well, you have helped each other in this incident, bleeding and sweating, Li is really ashamed, in this way, I see that your outfit is seriously damaged, most of them can no longer be used, there are a few things here, although they are not valuable, but they should be of some help to you, I hope you don't dislike it. ”

Abandon? Wait so long, just wait for your words!

Rin just wanted to curse.

Wow, wow, wow, wow—

Whew—

System: The evil demon is shocked, and the world is in turmoil.

……

A series of messages made Rin's mood instantly change from irritable to cool and comfortable.

That's right, that's called farming copies.
