Chapter 351: Another Way Out

Lukka spent another half an hour cross-examining Vic, eliminating his contradictory answers, and with the intimidating effect of the Illumination, he finally figured out the situation.

Vic is basically true that if a manned excavator wants to get to the ground, it must have that oblate navigation device above it, otherwise it will definitely get lost when it moves through the rocks and dirt.

Moreover, this excavator turned out to be the only one that the goblins now own. Once it runs out of energy and breaks down in the middle, the other goblins just want to come to the rescue, and they don't have the ability to dig through the soil.

"Wait, you're saying this is the only excavator?" Lukka suddenly spotted a loophole, "How did you get up there before, through the gnomes' mines?"

"Mines, what are you kidding, those gnomes want to wrap all the mines in iron sheets!" Vic snorted.

"How the hell did that come up?" Ollie nudged with the tip of her sword.

"Through those wells. Vic glanced back at her, "With our stature, the well is enough! If it weren't for the sake of transporting you big guys, I wouldn't be willing to drive this excavator up, do you know how fierce the competition is to be the driver of this treasure? But seriously, this excavator is much faster than walking the well, and Liz and their team will have to come back from the well for at least ten days, and we only need three hours!"

Lukka ignored the string of complaints that followed him, and carefully recalled the well above the island.

On the ground of Yutajima, there are such wells everywhere, and the diameter of the wellhead is only thirty or forty centimeters at most, so there is no problem for a lightly equipped goblin to enter and exit, but for a normal human like him, it is too narrow.

But for Luca, changing the size of his head was a matter of a series of spells, and as long as there was access to the ground and ground, he didn't have much to worry about.

"You said you would walk slowly when you came back from the well, and why?" Luca asked.

Vic glanced at Ollie's sword and replied honestly:

"The section of the well was fine, and it came down with a 'whoosh' when the safety rope was fastened. But if you have to walk back to the deep mine through the passage on the wall of the well, the route is winding, and there are many forks, and as soon as the dwarf mine on it starts, these forks will often collapse, and it is easy to get lost even with a map.

"So, the goblins who take that road will set up camp after walking one section, and let the scouts find out the road ahead, and then go down the next one, otherwise they will be lost many times.

"This is the first test of this manned excavator, and if you hadn't made trouble, it would have been quite successful overall. After we build dozens of these excavators, we will no longer have to walk the road of the well.

"Hmph, by that time, see how long those gnomes can jump on the ground!"

Ollie asked curiously, "Why do you hate those gnomes so much?"

"For hundreds of years......," Vic said halfway, and suddenly shook his head, "Forget it, this kind of thing, you outsiders won't understand it!"

Luca said: "I guess these two waves of dwarfs have been fighting back and forth for so many years, and they probably forgot what they fought in the first place. ”

"We won't forget. Vic muttered, but didn't continue to explain.

Lukka has no intention of mediating this conflict that has accumulated over the centuries, and he now has more important things to do, and the first priority is to find a way to get back to the surface.

"Ollie, it looks like we're going to have to go back in a different way. Luca said.

"It's okay, as long as you can go back, you're planning to drill a well, right?" Ollie didn't care about how he got out of here.

Vic couldn't figure out what these two men meant, and knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get an answer. Faced with the sharp blade and the strong light coming from his chest, he had no choice but to obediently follow Luca's order, restart the excavator, and follow the predetermined route to dig all the way towards the underground capital called Deep Mine.

As we got closer to our destination, the speed of the excavator gradually slowed down.

Vic sat in the cockpit and suddenly asked, "How are you going to get out?"

"Go out. Lukka told the truth.

Vic glared back: "You don't think that you can deal with the miners and mine guards of an entire city with your size, do you?

"As long as you're not lying, and the goblins who took the well haven't brought back the news, don't worry. Luca said.

"Don't try to take me hostage, no goblin will buy it!" Vic said with a distinctly unmistakable feeling of no silver here.

"There's no need, wouldn't that bring the conflict to the fore?" Lukka didn't have such a plan, "As long as you do what I said, tell the other goblins that there are no humans on the ground, and you will return in vain this time." ”

Vic is not an idiot, and as soon as he hears it, he knows how many loopholes Lukka's plan has, but as a captive, he certainly hopes that the other party has as many loopholes as possible. Now with this kind of unreliable plan, he doesn't have to do anything in secret, just act according to the other party's requirements.

Ten minutes later, the excavator burst out of the rock formation and slowly came to a stop on a pedestal that was clearly built in the shape of the machine.

From the porthole, this is a huge cave dug out of the rock, the dome is equipped with bright mining lamps, and the ground is not neatly distributed many places for machinery to moor, the excavator is the largest of them.

As soon as the large pile of pickaxes outside the excavator stopped, several goblins who looked like guards surrounded them.

"I'm going to open the door!" Vic said, stepping off the bridge. He felt that the two humans would stop him at the last moment, pointing their swords at him for the last stand.

But Luca's calm voice came from behind him: "Go ahead, as you just said." ”

You brought it upon yourselves, and we goblins are not blind. Vic's heart relaxed.

"You're back!Is the situation going well?" the goblin guards came over to greet them, probably knowing Vic for a long time.

"yes, did you see the humans, do they really look like the master?" asked the other guard, curious.

According to Luca's instructions, Vic should have replied, "There is a mistake in the intelligence, there are no humans on it at all", but now that the door of the excavator is wide open, these guards can see the two big guys inside at a glance as long as they are not completely blind.
