Chapter 973: Battle for the Tower (7)
After a tour of the mines, Schiller and Batman were not thrown back into the filthy and gloomy cell, but were each assigned a dormitory, and to Batman's surprise, the dormitory was still a single room.
The mine they visited was the largest and most central of the mine, and next to it, there was a bunker that looked very similar to the medieval garrison castle.
The corridors are narrow, but the rooms are large, and the four floors above ground are all where the guards live, and the six floors below are inhabited by the miners who work in the central mine.
The dormitory that Batman was assigned to was located on the 2nd floor of the basement, and the whole room was only 2~3 square meters, so only one straw mat could be placed, and there was a torch burning with magical energy on the wall.
However, the room was small, but it wasn't cold, and Batman suspected that there might be layers of lava beneath the mine's surface, making the entire building appear warm and dry.
There is also a basin in the corner of the room, which will not run out of water no matter how much you use it, which can not only provide some moist moisture in the dry room, but also can be used for cleaning.
If there is anything wrong with this dormitory, it is that the sound insulation is not very good, everyone lives in small cages, the walls are very thin, and they are very close, Batman just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, when he heard a muttering and scolding from next door:
"Damn it, my ankle...... The pain is dying, that damn lava demon, he did it on purpose, he wanted to cause me to fall into the lava while mining...... Oh, it hurts, it hurts......"
"What's wrong with you? You okay? Batman knocked on the wall next to him and asked, the creature on the other side seemed to be frightened by him, and after an exclamation, he was silent for a long time, and then Batman spoke:
"I'm a new miner today, I'm not familiar with this place, can you tell me where this is?"
One second to rememberhttps://.la
"I know ......" the voice on the other side sighed, his voice was a little sharp, but the pronunciation was quite clear, he said: "Another unlucky guy who has been caught, ha, see how long you can live here, three days, or four days?" ”
"Were you caught by a sandworm too?" Batman asked.
"Don't be stupid, that big bug can only deal with small species like you...... Ahem......" coughed twice on the other side and said, "I am the aboriginal here, and mining is my job, ahem...... My feet ......"
"Is your foot hurt?" Batman pretended to be concerned and asked, "Do you need help?" ”
Suddenly, Batman saw a black shadow appear in the crack of the dormitory door, and a black tentacle reached in.
There was still a scarlet eyeball on the tip of the tentacle, and the eyeball turned, looked at Batman, and then said, "Oh, an unlucky human, look at your fight, you should be a believer in the evil god, what's wrong?" Does your boss not want you? ”
"I don't know what's going on, can you tell me? Where the hell is this? What am I going to do tomorrow? Batman asked a series of questions, but the other eyeball rolled and said, "Don't lie to me, you cunning human, if you want to get answers from me, you have to pay the price......"
"What do you want?" Batman asked.
"I've heard that the human soul is very delicious, why don't you give me a part of your soul? Let me bite you, and I'll answer your questions......" the demon said in a low voice.
"I'm afraid it's not fair." Batman replied.
"Fair!? Do you want to talk about fairness in hell?? As if hearing the most ridiculous joke in the world, he laughed dryly a few times in his hoarse voice, and then two more tentacles reached in and pressed towards Batman.
Unfazed, Batman stood up from the ground, and since discovering that demons could take physical damage, he had lost any reverence for this magical creature.
He turned, took a torch from the wall next to him, and swung it with lightning speed, allowing the flames to pass through one of the tentacles, and sure enough, a scream was heard from the other side.
"Take it away! Take it away! Take it away!! You damn human!! I'm going to swallow you!!! The tentacles on the opposite side began to dance constantly, trying to escape back through the crack in the door, but Batman was quick and held down the root of the tentacle before the black tentacle tried to slip out through the crack in the door.
He put the torch aside, grabbed the tentacle with both hands, and pulled it in hard, causing the demon on the other side to let out a fierce scream.
"Ahh Yes! Let me go! My ankles! I already hurt my ankle...... Let me go!! Oh please, don't do it!! ”
Batman finally tugged on the tentacle hard, only to hear a "bang" from the dormitory door next to him, as if the demon's body was dragged and slammed against the door.
Finding that there was no room to pull, Batman grabbed the root of the tentacle, tied a dead knot in his arm, and then brought a torch to let the flames continue to erode the root of the black tentacle, and then said in a cold tone: "Answer my question, where is this?" How did you get here? What are you doing here? ”
"Oh oh oh oh!! Let go of me!! …… Okay, okay, I'll answer your question, but after I'm done, you'll have to let go of my feet...... You damn humans, you're all a bunch of cunning monsters! ”
The movement of Batman's hand paused, he didn't know whether he was insulted or praised by the demon when he said it was a monster, but then, the demon began to say intermittently:
"You and your master must be hillbillies, otherwise, when you see the sign on the gate, you should know that this is the Seven Hills Mine of the great Majesty of Belier, and it is also the second largest mine in the underground territory of His Majesty Belial......"
"How did I get here? As I said, I am a native here, I am a shadow monster living in the mines, and His Majesty's army has driven here and occupied the mines, and I will work for him......"
"Also, what am I doing here? What else can I do here? Of course, it's mining, and the Seven Hills Mine has almost all the mainstream minerals in hell, and the weapons and armor on those guards are all forged from these minerals......"
"What's your name?" Batman asked again.
"My name is Hexagon, my name is Hexagon, let me go, my foot is going to break...... Oh, it hurts......"
The voice on the other side was already a little crying, Batman found that the demon here was much simpler than he imagined, so he let go of one of the feet and let the tentacles retract, but the other foot was still held in his hand, and he said:
"I know there are guards in the dormitory, too, so if you hear any strange movement from my side next, it's best not to make a sound, if you bring the guards here, I'll definitely kill you before the guards kill me."
Batman's threat was not mixed with a little water, and after the shadow monster in the hexagon retracted his last foot, he snorted twice, and then said, "You humans who don't think about running away all day long, I don't care what you are doing in your room." ”
Batman narrowed his eyes and asked, "Humans have been here before?" ”
Hexagon seemed to be stroking his injured foot, and he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's humans here, and I've been neighbors with at least five or six humans, and they all want to get out......"
"Did they run out then?" Batman asked again.
"Most of them have run out, and I have to admit that you cunning race still have some ability, but. This is hell, and even if you run out of this mine, where else can you go? In the end, I didn't go to work for other demons......"
"After coming to hell, there are only two ends for a weak individual like a human being, either hiding in mines, barracks, and slave camps and working for the demons, or being unlucky enough to encounter a powerful demon and be swallowed in one bite......"
"Are you a powerful demon?" Batman asked.
"You humans love to talk nonsense." Hexagon snorted and said, "If I am a powerful demon, will I be so embarrassed by you?" ”
"Shadow Monsters are just companions of Shadow Mine, most of them are not sensible, they will only instinctively attack demons who want to mine Shadow Mine, and because of this, sane Shadow Monsters will be arrested, we can appease our fellow people when mining Shadow Mine, so that they don't attack the miners, this is what I do......"
Batman silently wrote down the message he said, and after a moment of silence, Hexagon took the initiative to ask, "Are you going to run out too?" Then you can take advantage of the night and dig a hole through the gap in the back wall, that's how my neighbor ran out before, you better get out of here, I hate cunning humans. ”
Hearing this, Batman looked at the gap in the wall behind him, because in the shadow of the torch lighting, Batman didn't look closely at the corner on the right side of the mat, and at this time, he noticed that there seemed to be a small crack there.
When Batman placed his hand on the gap, he could clearly feel the air flow blowing out of the gap, which indicated that there was a considerable space in the back.
"Aren't the guards here worried about people running out"? Batman asked, he was really a little confused, so he asked again: "It's unbelievably lax defenses here......"
"Run, run." Hexagon said indifferently: "Those big insects can bring back dozens or hundreds of people every day, even if they all run away, they can continue to catch them the next day, and besides, only you humans can't think about it, for the demons, where to work is not work?" ”
"Didn't you think about resisting or running away?" Batman asked, examining the slit.
"Why resist or run away?" There was also some confusion in the voice of the hexagon, and he said, "If I run out, I will be captured by other demons and taken to other mines to do the same work." ”
"Moreover, His Majesty Belle is a good demon lord, he is powerful, majestic and ancient, these demon lords around him, almost none dare to provoke him, he can defend his own territory, he can protect us."
"If I run to a weak person and be attacked by other demon lords every day, I may be dragged into battle, the shadow monster is not good at fighting, and my leg will be cut off."
Batman's hand paused, then asked, "Don't you want to be a demon lord yourself?" Don't want to be a leader yourself? ”
"Demon Lord? No kidding. Hexagon muttered in a low voice, "I'm a shadow monster, have you ever seen a shadow monster who can be a demon lord?" We don't know any magic at all, we don't have strong physiques, and while the most important thing in the mines is Shadow Monsters, that's no use......"
"We're just like humans, we're one of the weakest races in hell, let alone being demon lords, and the overseers don't have our share."
"Because you're weak, don't you resist?" Batman muttered to himself.
"Every shadow monster is like this, suddenly finding themselves in the mines. Awakened to his senses, he was found by the overseers and brought to work......" Rokkaku's tone was very brisk, and he said:
"I've had a lot of luck, and sometimes the low-level shadow monsters go crazy and tear us apart and swallow us, but I've been here for a long time, and I haven't encountered such bad luck."
"But yesterday. That damn lava demon threw a fireball at my feet, he was trying to blow me into the lava, I already knew he didn't like me, and I had to run into him tomorrow when I was working, Satan was on it, I had enough of him......"
"Why don't you fight back?" Batman asked again.
"Fight back? You mean let me hit him? No kidding! The Lava Demon is one of the most powerful demons, even among the Overseers, he is also a very strong type, how can I beat him? ”
"If you can't beat him, you can't deal with him......" Batman whispered, and then he said, "Your foot hurts, right?" I know some medical techniques, maybe I can help you heal, let me see your wounds......"
"What ?????"
