In the mist, a giant tree stood in it, its intricate roots digging into the dirt softly and quickly, the soft soil was separated and squeezed to the sides, and the slender fibrous roots continued to grow on the sturdy taproot, burrowing into the soil around the taproot......

DUANG~~~~

A violent shaking woke Lin Ze from his sleep, the firelight was still beating in the stone room, at this moment there were 6 snake girls gathered outside the cage, they were wearing brown leather armor, and there were two long sheathed weapons hanging on each side of their waists, the snake girl's usual weapon should be a long scimitar, Lin Ze secretly guessed.

"Come out, it's time to work!" Sina, the snake girl who had been here last night, said it in both lingua franca and Tas, and then opened all the cage doors and swung her whip into the cage.

"Smack~" There was a crisp sound, accompanied by a few painful exclamations, and the kobold in the cage hurriedly climbed out.

Lin Ze really didn't know what the creature living in the cage next to him was, so he could only call it a kobold figuratively, not like the Skar werewolf that Lin Ze had seen, although it was also wearing a dog's head, but it looked particularly obscene......

Without waiting for the whip to fall, Lin Ze also quickly got out of the iron cage, I don't know why, it seems that the snake girl Sina is not ready to use the whip against herself.

Following behind the kobold, a group of slaves walked out of the stone room, through a corridor, to a huge hall, the torches on the walls around the hall illuminated the whole hall is bright and transparent, like a square, the hall is surrounded by stone walls, an area of about 400 square meters, about 10 meters high, the hall is surrounded by a heavily armed snake girl, should be a guard guard, there is a stone throne in the middle of the hall, the back of the throne has been missing a large piece.

Due to the barrier of the back of the seat, the front of the throne could not be seen, and through the hall to a small door on the side, it was still a corridor, and at a few corners of the corridor you could still see collapsed wooden cabinets, scattered plates, and fragments of some crockpots.

"Okay, here, this is where you work, clean up these rubbles, open the passage to the next hall, as long as you work hard, you will have something to eat."

"A few of you, guard the entrance, watch the water tank, if anyone makes trouble~ You're welcome!"

After Sina finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and turned around, "When you clean up the rocks, if you dig up an iron coffin or a dried corpse or something, it's best not to move around, and call our guards to deal with it, otherwise~ Hmph!" At one's own risk! ”……

Most of the snake girls left, leaving only the two snake girl guards next to the water tank at the entrance of the Yongdaokou, fully armed, standing there with their hands crossed.

Checking the mining pickaxe in his hand, Lin Ze couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings, everything seemed to be back to the original point, which reminded him of the days when he was an interstellar slave miner, he was inexplicably caught by a group of aliens, transported to a dark and dirty ghost place, and then worked day and night, the difference is that he is no longer the thin war orphan he was at the beginning, but a third-order explorer, I have to say that it is really nostalgic.

Bang ~ A wooden bowl rolled to Lin Ze's feet, he only then raised his head and looked around, the road was not wide, about 3 meters, there were 5 slaves, 4 kobolds, and himself who were arranged to clean up here, obviously, looking at the kobolds who came up, he was targeted, the kobolds' vicious red eyes, and the sharp teeth that were exposed, made Lin Ze feel that it was not just as simple as ganging up to bully people.

"You don't care?" Lin Ze slowly retreated to the wall and asked in a loud voice.

The snake female guard still clasped her hands, looking like she was watching a good show, "We only prepared 5 servings of food today. ”

Oh~ Got it.

Lin Ze suddenly launched and quickly rushed towards the kobold on his right, with a little pickaxe in his hand, the kobold didn't even have time to lift the pickaxe, he turned over and fell to the ground directly, leaving only a drop of blood on the hoe dripping to the ground.

It seems that the combat effectiveness of these kobolds is overestimated, Lin Ze secretly thought, everyone is on the same food and clothing line, physical fitness and combat experience are the factors that dominate victory, obviously the kobolds are too far behind, according to the judgment, I am afraid that they have not even reached the first-order physical fitness, let alone combat experience, Lin Ze is also an independent explorer between the two star fields, especially he has also passed the assessment of the Ten Thousand Blades Association, a formal assessment body in the universe, and the realm of longsword use at the micro level, even if the mine pickaxe is not a long sword, That's more than enough to deal with kobolds.

The remaining three kobolds were stunned, they didn't see Lin Ze's movements clearly, and an accomplice fell down in an instant, although kobolds are not particularly intelligent creatures, such an obvious gap can still be recognized, "ding bell" A few crisp sounds, the kobold dropped the mining pickaxe and knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed.

Okay, originally Lin Ze thought that he would have to kill one or two more before they surrendered, it seemed that the current trouble was solved, he turned around and walked towards the two snake girl guards, only to see that the two snake girls had already drawn out the long knives on their waists, looking cautious and cautious.

"Looks like there's an extra amount of food now, doesn't it? Of course, after our friendly negotiation just now, I think you will give me all 5 portions of food, and our kobold friends will not mind. ”

"Don't come here! You stand there and don't move. ”

Seeing that the snake girl was nervous, Lin Ze shook his shoulders helplessly, and stepped aside, without physical strength, without the weapon in hand, he didn't have the slightest idea of going against the guards.

After being silent for a while, the two guards were a little relieved, although they had clearly seen the whole process of Lin Ze's killing of the kobold just now, if they were completely unprepared, they were not confident that they would be able to dodge the attack.

"The food is behind the water tank, you go get it yourself, wait! Put down the pickaxe and come over again, slowly. The snake woman pointed the tip of her knife at the tank, still clutching her weapon.

Found it, a small cloth bag, Lin Ze picked up a wooden bowl and blew it, scooped a bowl of water, then sat back on the wall, opened it and looked, it turned out to be a few black dry cakes, just looking at the wheat grains on the cake that were not ground at all, you can imagine how much burden it is to bite into the mouth to the whole mouth.

Forget it, explorers are good teeth, not picky eaters, Lin Ze turned his head, looked at a few kobolds staring at the cake in his hand with red eyes, picked up the mine pickaxe, and gestured at them fiercely, and then pointed straight to the stone wall to be dug over there, and the three kobolds picked up the mine pickaxe and went back, not forgetting to drag away the dead accomplices on the ground.

Uh~ disgusting, Lin Ze had basically guessed what they wanted to do by dragging away the corpse, but he still didn't want to, so he replenished his strength first......
