Chapter 51: Lighting the Torch
The most valuable is a gold mine, now the gold coins in Yang Bing's hands are completely eating the old book, the circulation of gold coins in the hands of the civilian army in Baiyun City can also be said to be transferred from one hand to the other, but the recruitment of soldiers is to consume gold coins, after many recruitments, and the real collection and exchange, it can be said that the gold coins in his hands have been consumed, if there is no source of income, he is afraid that even the money for recruiting troops every week is not enough. It can be said that after the stone problem was solved, gold coins became his top priority again, and the news of the gold mine came too timely this time.
It was only 50 minotaur warriors who produced gold in the gold mines, and in the underground society, the minotaurs were often used as slaves for the most difficult and lowly work. However, the Minotaurs are known for their courage and dignity. They will do their best to complete all tasks, including fighting for the sake of the slave owners. In fact, trained minotaur slaves, the strength they show in battle, even their enemies will respect them.
In the dungeon camp, the Minotaur warriors belong to the 5th rank, they are a machine born for war, their only job in the decisive battle is to charge, and no matter how difficult the situation is, they will maintain a strong morale, it can be said that the Minotaur will always be a dazzling point on the battlefield.
The Minotaur warriors engaged in the production of gold coins in the gold mine are a strong wall to prevent Yang Bing from occupying the gold mine, although the number of people under his command is several times more than that of the Minotaurs, but in terms of strength, they are actually not enough for the Minotaur warriors to charge once, which is the strength gap between low-level soldiers and high-level soldiers. However, there was a huge mountain of gold in front of him, but he was told that he could only see but not touch, and Yang Bing's heart was itching like a cat's claw. However, he didn't think about it, since these minotaurs were here to collect gold mines, weren't they instructed by the dungeon lord? If it is a wild monster, they will not dig for gold for no reason, and this thing cannot be used as food, of course, this is an afterword, his mind is now occupied by all the gold mines, and there is no such consideration at all.
In addition to the group of minotaurs, most of the creatures in this layer of caves (caves) pose no threat to Baiyun City, only guarding a group of evil eyes at the location of the passage connecting to the next layer, there are two hundred in number, but they are not guarding the connecting passage, but guarding a gray building, the building is sealed all around, there is only one window and it is also sealed with an iron hoop, veterans who have played hero invincible can recognize it at a glance, that is a prison, there must be a hero in it.
The moment he got the news, Yang Bing remembered a painting he saw at the old man of the prophet, that is, he led the army to rescue a hero in the cave (hole), it seems that the hero is still a yuan**, but although the painting shows that he did rescue it, how to solve the two hundred evil eyes that stand in the way is also worth discussing.
The Evil Eye is a third-order ranged class of the dungeon camp, and their image is like a large meat ball supported by a few tentacles, and then there is a big eye in the middle of the meat ball, and their attack method is to rely on this eye to emit rays, but in close combat, those whip-like tentacles also have a good combat performance, and they can be regarded as extremely difficult opponents on the whole.
There is also a useful news, that is, there is an underground torch tower in the middle of this layer of caves (holes), which directly reaches the rock wall at the top of the caves (holes), as long as it is lit, the entire layer of holes (holes) can be barely illuminated, as long as there is light, then the army of the human race no longer relies on the guidance of the people of the hell caves (holes), and they can gallop in this layer of holes (holes).
As soon as the thief continued to monitor the situation of the gold mine, to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of, Yang Bing went to the cave (cave) first, and then summoned a thief to lead the way, and then led the army to the underground torch tower, standing on such a high torch tower, if it was on the ground, it was enough for him to take in all the conditions of this not very wide hole (hole), but unfortunately this is not the ground, all at the top of the tower, Yang Bing can see a little fluorescence, there is nothing.
The function of the underground torch tower is the same as the role of the watchtower that Yang Bing saw on the ground, but the torch tower has an additional ignition link, and he can't figure out the principle of fuel supply for such a large torch tower, but when Yang Bing touched the fuel pool at the top of the torch tower with his bare hands, he only felt as if something in his body had been sucked out, and then he saw that the raging fire immediately erupted from the top of the torch tower, and the incandescent white flames dozens of meters high were like a small artificial sun. The entire layer of holes (holes) is illuminated transparently. If he opened the stats interface at this time, he would definitely be surprised, because his mana was drained of 50 points in an instant.
The scorching air roasted Yang Bing was simply difficult to stand under the pillar of fire, while the temperature had not yet risen, Yang Bing hurriedly ran down a few floors to avoid the fate of being burned into barbecue, looking down from a high place The entire layer of holes (holes) is undoubted, Yang Bing took out the telescope from his backpack and began to observe the situation in the cave.
Looking down from the torch tower, the underground advance base of Baiyun City is at the southernmost end of the cave (hole), an underground river flows down from the side of the advance base, and then drops out to the center of the hole (hole) to divide the hole (hole) into two parts, east and west, and then flows into the next layer from a hole in the northernmost part, and the entrance of the underground river is to go to the entrance of the underground hole (hole) to the next layer.
Not far from the entrance of the next layer is the prison mentioned by the thief, and the two hundred evil eyes are gathered and scattered in that position, of course, with the vision of the evil eyes, if you want to enter the next layer of holes (holes), you must enter their warning range, look at their appearance, if you don't have their permission, the possibility of going directly to the next layer is almost zero, and at the same time, near the prison, the evil eyes also control a relatively large tribe of cave (cave) people, which is estimated to provide them with food and other services.
The location of the gold mine is not too far from the location of the evil eye, from above, you can vaguely see the minotaur slaves entering and exiting it, and the gold coins produced will have a hole at the entrance waiting for the cave (cave) people to be transported to the camp of the evil eye, Yang Bing was stunned for a moment, the scene in front of him is a little weird, two hundred evil eyes are not much power for fifty minotaurs, why are these minotaurs willing to enslave the evil eye two levels lower than them? Don't
Although there are some speculations in his heart, but he is very greedy for the yellow gold coin, and he can't care so much, as the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, can they still die because of choking, after he got off the torch tower, he ordered the infantry to return to the forward base on their own, and he didn't care about the danger of being discovered, when he took a part of the poison cangs to the gold mine.
