Chapter 70: The Poisoning of the Gnomes
readx;
Ten minutes later, Adam clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Alright, ready to go!"
Everyone ordered the vehicle, a group of people surrounded the vehicle, the spearmen half surrounded the team, and the magic gunners were also waiting solemnly, from now on, everyone officially entered the passage, which means that the transport convoy has left the sphere of influence of Blackstone Town.

Dozens of torches were erected in the convoy to illuminate the dark passages.
The terrain in the underground tunnels is not as rugged as in the mines, making it difficult to walk. The land inside the underground passage is a mixture of hard and soft dirt, overgrown with weeds, and there are stalactites hanging above the underground passage.
The convoy was cautiously moving forward, and every hour and a half, the exploration team led by Mario in front would send back an air gunner to report the general situation, and Adam ordered Colin to stand at the front of the team to receive information.
On the first day, the party did not encounter any special circumstances, and walked for about six hours, and Adam thought that it should be dark outside, and that it should be ten o'clock in the evening, so he ordered the team to camp and rest after walking for two hours.
The team continued for two hours, and when the last of the Fighting Gunners returned to report on the situation, Colin instructed him to let Mario return.
The convoy stopped, and found a relatively spacious place to rest, the big guy brought quite complete equipment, and under the light of the torches around him, he wanted to take out one piece of material after another.
Simple tents, flints, firewood, dry food, kettles, etc.
There were only three or four tents, the largest one was the lord's and Miss Sophia's, and a few tents were originally brought by the lord for Colin and the others, but Colin and Mario insisted on keeping vigil outside, so the tents were not erected.
Colin brought a few fighters to help erect Adam's tent, and Mario arranged a vigil patrol system in the distance, while sending several squads to patrol around the area all night without interruption to eliminate potential dangers.
The people of the convoy began to pounce on the flat ground with cloth mats made of tricolor fruits, and sat comfortably on them, eating dry food and drinking water.
In Adam's tent, Sophia snuggled in Adam's arms, the two of them were eating dry food sweetly, the wide tent blocked everyone's sight, and in the atmosphere of the two of them mixing oil in honey, the general taste of dry food was also particularly delicious at this time.
"Oh no, something's wrong!" came a panting cry from outside the tent.
Adam slammed to his feet, something had happened, and he opened the tent and walked out, the guards outside the tent stopped one of the townspeople, whose faces were covered with the tiredness of the day, and the look of anxiety was mixed with it.
"Don't worry! what's going on, tell me!" Adam asked in a deep voice.
Could it be that an underground race is attacking the convoy?
"Big... My lord, the gnomes seem to have been poisoned!Lord Colin has told me to report to your lords!" The townsfolk tried to calm their breath and explained why.
Confused, Adam shouted Sophia to the tent, and followed the townspeople over to see what was going on.
Sophia lifted the tent and followed.
After a while, Adam and Sophia were led by the townspeople to the scene of the incident. Dozens of dwarfs were rolling on the ground with their stomachs in their arms, their faces were bruised, their lips were trembling in pain, and their bodies were covered with mud and weeds, a typical poisoning phenomenon!
Mario is helpless and loudly comforting the gnomes, his face anxious, but he doesn't know how to help them.
Colin stood on the sidelines, and when he saw Adam coming, he walked over.
"Colin, what's going on?" Adam asked.
"My lord, we have just arrived, and we are not sure about the situation, but according to the current situation, there are no obvious wounds on the outside, and it may be poisoned!" replied Collinschley.
Adam frowned, "Are you sure it's poisoning?"
If it was poisoned, everyone was eating the same dry food and drinking the same water, and if the dwarf was poisoned, wouldn't it be that the entire convoy, including him and Sophia, was poisoned at this time!
But why is it that only the gnomes are in such a tragic situation now, and the others are not?
Colin shook his head, he wasn't sure if it was poisoned, but most of the people in the convoy were speculating that the gnomes were poisoned, because the symptoms of the gnomes at this time were too similar to the symptoms of a poisoning attack.
"Take me to see it!"
Adam and Colin walked up to a dwarf, Colin helped the dwarf, Adam squatted down to take a closer look, this dwarf should belong to the first batch of people who were poisoned, at this time he didn't even have the strength to scream, he hung his head weakly, and hung on Colin's arm like a gossamer.
Adam asked, "How does it feel, and where does your body hurt?"
The dwarf shook his head weakly, it was running out of strength to speak.
Adam's brow furrowed even deeper, what was going on? Adam turned to Colin and asked, "Do other humans have this happening?"
Colin shook his head: "Only the gnomes are in this situation, everyone else is normal at the moment. ”
Adam wrinkled, is it really food poisoning, but this is not logical! Everyone eats the same food and drinks the same water, how can it be that the gnomes have an accident and everyone else is fine?
Or the reason for the lack of adaptation?
You've lived in the mine every day, and you haven't seen any discomfort.
Adam instructed Colin: "Punch him in the stomach and spit out the contents of his stomach, remember, don't use fighting spirit, just use ordinary force!" Now Adam can only solve it in the way of food poisoning, first see what is in the stomach.
Colin nodded, and raised his hand to slam the gnome in the stomach with a lightning-fast punch that Adam didn't even react.
"Ahh Large chunks of food mixed with gastric juices gushed out of the mouth.
Adam dodged sideways in time to avoid the embarrassing scene of being vomited.
The dwarf man lost his energy after a few mouthfuls, he really couldn't spit it out, his saliva was still hanging on the corners of his mouth, and he rolled his eyes as if he was going to die. Colin's punch is really strong, although he didn't use his fighting spirit, but this punch is not something that a dwarf can bear.
Adam squatted down, picked up a small wooden stick from the ground next to him, pinched his nose and rummaged through the pair of vomit to identify it, I have to say that this group of dwarfs has a really heavy breath, and the things they spit out are much more stinky than others!
Huh? Adam's eyes froze, and he really noticed that Adam found a pile of black debris from the dwarf's vomit, Adam knew that it was not dry food brought by the convoy, but he didn't know what it was?
"Sophia, come and see what this is?" Adam shouted back, his voice sounding strange as he pinched his nose.
Sophia has long been hiding far away, because it stinks! Now when she hears Adam's voice, she has to roll her eyes and walk over, my brother is really good! I went to look through other people's vomit, and now I have to go over, it stinks, it stinks!
