Chapter Seventy-Three: The Underworld

In the face of more than 30 people in front of him, the one who led the way did not have any surprise or hesitation, and let out a whistle.

The same whistle immediately sounded on the opposite side, and the two sides were clearly exchanging codes.

Apparently there was a concentration of smugglers from several neighbouring towns or even a little further afield, with each passer-by having a similar guide. Because the leader of the road had already gathered together, after discussing in a low voice for a while, he checked again in a circle, and then he went to the long grass and lifted a piece of "ground" with mud and grass together.

This is actually a vertical hole like the exit of the Yongdao just now, but this hole is larger, three people wide.

One of the leaders took the lead in climbing down, and after a while, there were a few applause from below, and this person should be in charge of playing the front station.

"Let's go down, one by one, stay down and don't run around, listen to the commands of the leader," said another man who led the way.

Although the entrance of the cave is large, it can still only allow one person to climb down, there is no ladder, and it is the big hole of the fist on the stone wall that climbs, the hole is quite deep, more than ten rounds.

Arrogant was the last to go down, not out of vigilance, but because he had to wait for someone to go down first, so it was better to stay on it for a while. Of course, he didn't want to climb down from the hole slowly, and when he saw that there was no one underground, he jumped straight down. His jump was easy, but it caused the leader standing next to the entrance of the cave to exchange glances, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

"It's all down?" shouted the leader who had first descended into the cave to the ground. After getting confirmation, he pointed to the dark Yongdao outside the lights, "This Yongdao is just one road, walk along the road, and there will be someone waiting for you at the end."

After receiving directions and permission, those who had been impatient for a long time immediately walked to the other end of the corridor.

The leader saw that everyone was starting to leave, and then turned around and prepared to climb back to the ground, when a voice sounded behind him, "Hey, there's something wrong with this way, right?"

"Yes, there's a fart problem", the guy scolded, but instead of looking back, he seemed to speed up his movements.

However, as soon as his movements accelerated, the man fell to the hard ground, unable to move his hands and feet anymore.

"What are you anxious about? I said, there is no road ahead of here?" Of course, the only one who said this could only be arrogant.

He had already noticed that there was something wrong with the tunnel—except for the slightly spacious place below the entrance of the cave that could accommodate forty or fifty people, there was only one tunnel that was two people wide and one person high, and there was no trace of a trap, not even a large hole. Then dig down, and the problem is big - this road is only 20 zhang long at most.

At the end of the road, there is a stone wall, a solid stone wall, without any partitions or secret doors.

This is obviously not a secret way, and something instantly comes to mind in Ao's mind. That's why he stopped this obvious thief to lead the way.

However, before he could ask, two smoking objects were suddenly dropped from the hole above his head.

"Ah, don't!!!" cried out the immobile leader, seemingly terrified of the smoking.

Obviously, the people above were going to sacrifice even this one, and the smoke was very lethal, because the people above had quickly resealed the hole.

"Boss, the slave is still down there", one of the leaders shouted loudly, probably he had a good relationship with the slave.

The man known as the leader glanced at the man coldly, "Didn't you hear that the people below have discovered the secret of the Yongdao? If you don't seal the entrance of the cave, what if you get lost? There are more than thirty people buried with him, and there is nothing to complain about, only blame him for his bad luck." ”

The man glanced at the head, and was already afraid in his heart, just now he was just in a hurry, he also knew the rules, and now he calmed down and felt afraid, in case one of the people below escaped, the one who died would not be a slave. Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "There have never been accidents in so many trips before, and the Yongdao is fifty or sixty miles long, how can they find out that it is a dead end so quickly?

In terms of the concept of the world of Ploz, in addition to gods and demigods, the most powerful among human beings is the mage, and the first suspect of all mortals who can't do it or is unimaginable is the mage.

Before the leader could speak, the others shouted first, "Mage, how can there be a mage mixed in, we have obviously checked it carefully", "The following is the mage's words, will this stone be broken?"

It would take at least four adult men to lift the sealed stone and the earth, and with the hole ladder that only allowed one person to stand, it was impossible to push the seal open from the inside, but if there was a mage below, the weight would not be enough.

"What are you panicking about, you just encountered a little thing and it became like this, have you forgotten that there is a rune on this sealing stone? Even if there is a mage below, at most it is a sleeve mage, what are you afraid of?" With a hundred-and-a-high cliff like Ferran Valley, it may be difficult for most mages to come up, but it is really not difficult to descend the mountain safely, and there is no need to take any underground secret passages.

With the leader's words, everyone was a little sure that they were doing murderous deeds here, and their hearts must be ruthless enough, but it had been too smooth all along, and they were so flustered when they suddenly encountered this accident.

"I didn't lose enough poisonous fruit in a hurry just now, and there are precautions below, maybe there will be someone who is not dead, wait and pay attention to the knife......

"Peng!!"

Before the leader could finish his words, the heavy sealing stone flew into the sky without warning, and before the sealing stone fell, two head-sized smoke balls rose strangely from the hole, followed by arrogant and immobile slaves.

"You, you're ...... Kill!" the leader first made a frightened look, but suddenly took out two short knives from his hands and pounced on the arrogant column. The people around seemed to have a tacit understanding, and at the same time took out their weapons and pounced.

Fools can also see that the person in front of them is definitely a mage, and the six people on the scene can probably escape if they escape separately, but since they said earlier that they can't leak the news, they can only fight close and kill this mage who doesn't know where to come.

Then they threw themselves on the ground at the same time.

Arrogant stepped on the head's chest, "Where is your boss?"

At this time, the leader had already determined that he had hit the big board tonight, and there was no chance of being spared, so he simply snorted and kept silent.

However, how can a mortal body be a tough guy in front of arrogance?

It wasn't until the screams on the ground disappeared for a long time that the thirty-odd people in the tunnel dared to climb up and look around. It's not that they are cowardly - if they dare to smuggle through the secret road, their courage can't be too small, but this series of ups and downs just now is too shocking for the little hearts of these ordinary people.

First, I heard someone shouting that the road was impassable, and those who walked in front hurriedly ran forward to confirm, and those who walked behind turned their heads to see that the one who led the way was going to run, and with their average IQ above, they knew that this time it was bad, so they said that they were going to run away, but they saw that the leader fell down, and was thinking about it, and finally deducted the hostage. The first reaction of everyone was to hide, but they saw that the two clouds of smoke seemed to be wrapped in an invisible barrier, hanging in the air, and the smoke seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, but they couldn't disperse a little.

At this time, everyone had probably guessed that they were lucky enough to meet a savior in misfortune this time, and there was actually a mage who walked with them, but the mage had no intention of talking to them, these ordinary people naturally did not dare to take the initiative to speak out of awe, and those who were close even took the initiative to take a few steps back.

They guessed in their hearts that the master would probably find a way to open the heavy sealing stone next, or tell everyone to stay silent and hide, and wait for the thieves outside to open the door before subduing them.

However, what happened next was once again unexpected to them, and they didn't see the mage chanting or making any movements at all, only that the air around them seemed to surge suddenly, and the sealing stone at the top of the head flew away with a "peng". Then two clouds of smoke, together with the mage and the one who was lying on the ground and did not move, rose at the same time and went out of the cave in turn.

Everyone was far away, and they didn't hear what the people outside were talking about, only to hear a scream that was so sharp that it made people's scalps tingle from outside the cave, because there was more than one scream, everyone knew that it was the mage who was abusing people, but they still didn't dare to climb up - who knows what spell the mage was using to abuse people, in case he was broken by the spell and fell down and died, wouldn't it be too unjust?

Anyway, when they all climbed up, they found six dead people lying around the entrance of the cave, each with the same expression - definitely not a very happy death.

Wait, it seems that there is one person missing, of course it is not the Master of the Wizard, it seems that there are a total of seven people who led the way before.

The crowd didn't think that these leaders had the ability to escape at the hands of the mage - this was not blind trust, didn't you see that the six people all died by the entrance of the cave? They either didn't want to escape at all, or they couldn't escape at all, how could they leave one alone?

However, everyone was not in the mood to think deeply, they escaped death, and their horror was a little fixed, so how could they care about thinking about others. Let's think about it first, so let's leave Ferran Valley County and go to the war zone.

At this time, it is about the turn of the third and fourth soils, and there is still a period of time before the sun sets, which is the so-called dark time before dawn. The people at the scene have all seen dead people, but it is one thing to have seen one thing, and it is another thing to be accompanied by dead people. And these people must have accomplices, in case people are suspicious and come here, wouldn't they sit back and wait to be killed?

No one spoke, not even a nod, and these people who met in the water and walked together on the edge of the realm of death dispersed and disappeared in the way they thought they were safe.

In the long grass, only the six uncollected corpses were left waiting for the birds and beasts to visit.
