With his eyes open, he slowly poked into the depths of the dark cave, where the living room and ventilation holes were also readily available.

To his astonishment, the place had been dug in all directions, twisting and turning, and even he almost forgot which fork in the road he came.

[It's amazing, how long have they been here]

However, after three forks in the road, at the end of the innermost and most hidden one, there was a hidden path, which was tightly covered by a black curtain.

He slowly lifted the corner of the curtain, and there was a mine cave, and there was a faint sound of ping-pong digging from inside.

[It is worthy of being an ore town, even this kind of hill, which is a hollow landform]

Groot slipped into the mine tunnel, stalking cautiously.

[This... 】

Groot's eyes froze around the corner.

There were a dozen slaves weary digging holes, their hands and feet and their necks chained, their bodies covered with bruises and whip marks.

Groot immediately rushed forward and asked.

[Were you all caught?]

The trapped man still didn't dare to say anything, just stared at him blankly.

[Don't worry, I won't hurt you]

Groot descended the stone steps to the bottom, where the air was foul, and he hurriedly summoned vines to purify the air around him.

Finally, Groot finds something hidden deep underground.

With a loud bang, he kicked open the heavy wooden door, and the vine wolf spirit followed behind him.

【Beast Spirit Acceleration】

Before the people inside could resist, they were pierced by Groot's iron claws, and finally one robber was left, bound by vines.

Groot's wolf head made a low sound

[Say, where are the keys and financial reports]

The man was frightened,

[Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll tell you everything]

Pointing to a corpse on the ground, Groot picked up the key and motioned for the vine to move.

[Uh-ah---]

He immediately unchained the slaves and prepared to escape from the cave with them.

However, at this moment, a figure slowly slid behind him.

A giant ten-eyed spider woke up from its nest at the top and crawled towards him.

Groot heard the movement and turned to defend himself, but was knocked away by the massive impact.

【Run!】

He shouted at the crowd.

The situation is extremely critical, but Groot still doesn't dare to summon the wolf king, this place is too narrow, and in the mine, a lord-level fight will inevitably lead to a collapse.

[What to do!]

He looked around and saw that all the stone steps of the mine were supported by trees, and if the load-bearing wood were destroyed, the place would collapse.

[Delay for a while, wait for them to go out]

Groot dodged the slime of the ten-eyed spider with a backflip and immediately headed for the innermost load-bearing log.

At this time, in the mine above, there was an accident.

Qian Duoduo, who was supposed to be dead, was actually resurrected, he said in front of everyone

[This gem actually saved my life]

He threw away the yellow gem that had been shattered, and there seemed to be some kind of strange spell on it,

[But it's useless now, damn guys, help me up]

The slaves were originally huddled together in fright, but looking at Qian Duoduo's body at this time, it was almost corroded by something, and he just moved his body forward with amazing perseverance.

One of the women shouted

[Kill him, kill this dog thief]

One response at a time

【Kill!】

[Kill him!]

Everyone rushed over, almost eating his flesh raw, and after a long period of painful exploitation and unseen labor, finally turned into a wave of hatred at this moment, and his fists and feet fell like raindrops on Qian Duoduo's face, legs, and stomach, until in the end, no one could tell what this stall was.

Suddenly, everyone felt a shaking, and then,

[Boom Rumble--]

The man's voice came from behind him

【Run!】

The cave was about to collapse, and the ten-eyed spider didn't follow.

Just now, Groot summoned several puppets and commanded them to make violent movements, instantly confusing the ten-eyed spider, which could not tell which was the real prey for a while.

Groot took the opportunity to slip away quietly.

He followed the crowd closely, but noticed a broken strange gem on the ground, and picked it up.

A group of people escaped from the cave with their front feet and then collapsed.

[It's a pity, if it weren't for that big spider, I guess I would have been able to scavenge something]

Groot sighed.

【When are you going home?】

Groot asked casually.

The group was hesitant, and finally the female voice answered

[We don't have a home anymore]

Groot stopped,

What does it mean?

The woman continued

[Not long ago, the cat people united with several small countries around to hunt down other subspecies, they were all taken to the New World by slave traders, and we are the frail ones, who can't sell them for a good price, so we can only bring them back to fill the coolies]

Groot was shocked at first

[And this kind of thing]

Then I recalled the disappearances that kept appearing in my village, the man with the runes on his face, the cat man.

He seemed to understand that his people, most likely, had been transported to the New World.

[This group of crazy things]

Groot looked at the slaves of all races in front of him and comforted them,

[If you don't dislike it, you can go to my village to live, and you should be able to settle there for the time being]

Everyone finally knelt down

[Thank you so much, I haven't asked for your name yet]

[My name is Groot]

The crowd surrounded him and thanked him

[Life-saving benefactor, it's just that we are penniless, how can we thank you]

Groot led them towards the main road and waved his hand

[Not worth mentioning]

At this time, the first-order beast pattern in his hand had quietly turned into a second-order.

【Unlocked Monster Collection - Cave Spider】

The female sub-man who answered Groot also leaned over and kissed Groot

【Thank you】

Groot realized that although the man's face was a little dirty, it was very delicate, with light red scales on his cheeks and a long dragon-like tail behind him.

[Isn't it a lizard?]

Groot asked, a little confused

The woman replied, but stopped talking.

[It's not... 】

Groot didn't delve into it anymore, after all, everyone has their own unspeakable secrets, and nodded.

The moonlight shone on the red earth, and a girl looked like a person staring at the night sky on the side of the road, standing dumbfounded.

The night breeze was a little cool, brushing her gray hair.

[Groot isn't over yet, it's too slow]

She was a little angry, she originally came out to let off steam, but her good mood was completely ruined by that group of people.

[Especially that one with a lot of money, it's so bad!]

Miao Fu stepped on the small stone under her feet and cursed

[Stepping on you, stepping on you, stepping on you!]

At this time, Groot and his party walked out of the path.

[Miaofu, why don't you take them back first, and I'll go and buy gems myself]

Miao Fu still pouted and said

[It's okay, it's so boring this time, I'll go back]

Groot was a little speechless, this Miaofu was already tens of thousands of years old, but her mind was still like a little girl, willful and rude.

[Hmm]

He turned to look at the group

[Next, Miaofu will take you back, don't worry, her strength is far above me]

Groot said with a mouthful

Miao Fu immediately gave him a blank look.

[Hurry up, I don't like to wait for people]
