Chapter 12: Inside the Interior

"Don't squeeze me, squeeze me"

A few gnolls scrambled to burrow into the tunnel they had just dug, but the tunnel was so narrow that it got stuck at the hole, and it looked funny with their bare butts exposed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Chief, the road to that human castle has been dug, shall we go directly?"

"Of course, don't you also wonder why I want to build this castle, you can go in with me and take a look" Yang Xiu just wanted to take a step, and Jamrey had already run up and pulled out the fools who were stuck in the hole.

"Come one by one, those who don't understand the rules, let the chief go first," Jamry scolded.

The ten gnolls immediately stood in a row and gave up the entrance to Yang Xiu.

"It's okay, it's okay" In view of the fact that the size of the jackal is similar to that of humans, Yang Xiu bowed down a little and climbed out along the hole dug out, because he didn't bring any lighting equipment this time, and the entire tunnel was pitch black, fortunately, this road was straight, Yang Xiu didn't have to worry about taking the wrong road, and he got up as soon as he closed his eyes.

"Jamry"

"Huh"

"This hole needs to be dug a little bigger, and it must be able to allow Duronda and them to climb in," Yang Xiu said.

"Chief, you're going to attack from within, it's really powerful."

"Awesome fart, don't tell me your people have been digging for so long, you just figured it out now"

"Hey, hey"

Obviously, this gnoll who wants to become the king of the gnoll really only now understands Yang Xiu's intentions.

Everyone climbed for an unknown amount of time, and Yang Xiu, who was at the forefront, suddenly touched a layer of soil, and the tunnel was dug here.

"What's going on, why is there no way?" Yang Xiu asked.

"Chieftain above, up there," a gnolle reminded.

Yang Xiu raised his head and stretched out his hand to touch it, it turned out that the soil layer above his head was empty, showing an upward tunnel, it was so dark here, no one reminded him that he really couldn't find it.

"Is this the mining factory?" Yang Xiu asked.

"Not sure, but it must be inside a human castle"

Hearing the answer, Yang Xiu turned over and leaned into this vertical tunnel face up.

It didn't take long for me to climb before I came across a hard stone slab.

"Click" thought that this slate should have some weight, so Yang Xiu pushed it with his hand casually, who knew that this touch, the slate was easily lifted by Yang Xiu.

"Rub, tofu slag project" By jacking up a small crack exposed by the stone slab, Yang Xiu squinted his eyes and peeked at the situation outside.

The slate was dimly lit outside, and all that light came from the oil lamps hanging on the walls. Through the dim light, Yang Xiu found that he seemed to be in a cave, because the vicinity was full of rubble and earthen walls.

From the depths of the cave, there was a faint sound of iron tools colliding with hard objects, and the sound was like the sound that Yang Xiu could only make when he heard a sledgehammer smashing iron nails when he passed by the construction site before.

"Anyone?" Yang Xiu's heart floated a few question marks, this seems to be the mine cave he saw in the castle when he climbed high and looked into the distance that day, the mining factory collected all the iron dug out of the cave, presumably there should be some miners here.

"Jemry, there is a situation, be vigilant" Yang Xiu said softly below, quickly knocked the stone slab on the top aside, and crawled out of the tunnel like a thief.

This mine cave was extremely spacious, and Yang Xiu climbed out only to find that there were seven or eight forks nearby, I don't know where the same was, and the previous sounds were all coming from the second fork on Yang Xiu's left.

"Just let the two of you come up, and the others will wait below," Yang Xiu commanded him as he pulled Jamurray out of the tunnel.

The situation here is unknown, Yang Xiu is afraid that too many people will come out, and if there is a situation later, everyone will have to drill into the tunnel, and the tunnel entrance is so small, no one will be able to escape at that time.

Jamurray brought another gnoll out, and the rest waited in the tunnels.

"Chief, what do we do next?"

Yang Xiu pointed to the fork in the road: "Go there and take a look, maybe you can catch a miner and ask about the situation."

Some parts of the mine were all held up by thick wooden beams, and the ground was littered with stones, and Yang Xiu could still see a few moldy bread crumbs from time to time, and it looked like the mine under this castle had been built for some years.

With the two jackals, Yang Xiu walked into a deep straight mine road, and suddenly there was a voice of talking at the corner in front of him, Yang Xiu quickly stopped, preventing the footsteps on the gravel from attracting the attention of the other side.

"Hamm, Old Man Gig can't dig anymore, he'll die in this place if he continues like this"

"Alas, there is no way, we are locked up here, there is no chance to escape at all, Thorpe, you feel like taking Grandpa Gig to rest, he will leave his work to me today"

"No, I'm going to help too"

Yang Xiu listened to the conversation between the two, and it seemed that these two people did not come here to mine voluntarily. Yang Xiu became curious, walked around the corner lightly, and poked his head out to see what the situation was.

What caught his eye was the three extremely short statures, extremely ugly faces, with oily green skin and two pointed ears, which made Yang Xiu seem to be so familiar.

"Goblins?" Yang Xiu accidentally called out.

Hearing the movement here, the three goblins turned their heads and saw Yang Xiu hiding behind the corner, and there were big eyes on both sides, and the faces of the three goblins suddenly changed dramatically.

"My lord, we're not lazy, don't hit me"

"Yes, my lord, little Hamm has been trying to finish today's work"

Inexplicably, Yang Xiu looked at the three goblins in wonder and suddenly knelt on the ground, and kept snorting their heads at himself, the ground here was full of sharp gravel, and it could be seen that these goblins kowtowed very hard, and the flesh and blood touched on their foreheads in a few clicks were blurred, which made people unbearable to look at directly.

"Okay, okay, you guys stand up" Yang Xiu walked in front of the three goblins, the goblins were very short, only reaching Yang Xiu's waist, and they looked like children.

With Yang Xiu's support, the three upright goblins were pulled up, and at this time, Jemri was late, and it was also strange how there was a trace of goblins here.

"Gnoll?" Hamm looked at Jamry.

"Were you forcibly caught here to mine?" Yang Xiu asked.

"No, no, my lord, we are volunteering to participate in the glorious operation to go down to the mines," said the oldest looking old man of the three goblins, Giger, with a sworn face.

Yang Xiu felt funny when he saw it: "You don't have to be so nervous, I have nothing to do with the humans in this castle, if you tell me the truth honestly, I may be able to take you out."

"yes, let's be honest, cowardly goblin," Jamrey said, standing aside.

Among the three aboriginal races in the Silent Plains except for the orcs, the jackals have a slippery personality, the bears have a short temper, and the goblins are cowardly and timid. Goblins, on the other hand, don't know anything but steal, rob, or be beaten, and the reason why this race has continued for so many years is that this race is the most powerful - the old sow gives birth to the big law.

Every female goblin is particularly capable of giving birth, as long as there are male goblins willing to breed, twelve births a year, one birth and twenty cubs is not a problem, and there is also a prevalence of undisciplined incest among the goblin family, this way of reproduction is the culprit that goblins are naturally ugly and short.

Yang Xiu looked at the three goblins of Hamm, Jige, and Thorpe with some surprise, he had never seen such an ugly species. Droopy eyes, collapsed nose bridge, a few goblins will have a little deformity on their bodies, like Hamm's upper body unclothed chest, there is an extremely obvious bulge bulging from his chest, which looks very weird, Thorpe is a serious loop-legged patient, and he is half a head shorter for no reason.

"Tell me everything you know, I'll take the three of you out of here, how about it" Since the goblins were too short, Yang Xiu had no choice but to sit down on the spot, just the same height as the other party.

"Great, my lord, can you really take us out?" there are so many human guards outside the mine, you ...... few of you," Hamm asked with some hesitation.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you" Yang Xiu pointed to the direction he came from and said, "And we don't need to go outside the mine"

"My lord, there are still many of our people in the depths of the mines, can you?" said Gig in a tentative voice.

"No" Yang Xiu came in here just to investigate the situation in the castle and make full preparations for the next attack, it doesn't matter if he takes three inconsequential goblins away, if he really takes all the goblins here, it will be a surprise.

"But don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me and tell me everything about the situation here, I will send someone to rescue you all in a few days" Yang Xiu comforted, if this castle is really captured at that time, it will not be difficult to release these goblins.

"Okay, my lord, I said," Thorpe had obviously wanted to escape from here for a long time, and told him everything he had learned, and Hamm and Gig on the side couldn't stop him, and he was hugged aside by Jamrey and another gnoll.

"That's right, half a year ago, a group of humans suddenly came to the goblin village where I lived, they rode horses covered with steel, and captured all my people here with muskets and iron swords, originally there was no castle in this place, and there was a guy in a robe and a cane in that group of humans who didn't know what method was used, and there was a tall castle on the ground out of thin air, and my people and I were locked up here to mine for them, digging during the day and digging at night, and many people were tired to death," Thorpe said sadly.

"Wearing a robe and holding a cane, you should be talking about a magician," Yang Xiu thought for a while.
