Chapter 979: Battle for the Tower (13)

Batman didn't know what Schiller's old job was, but he knew that it would certainly not be a good thing.

Batman has gradually noticed Schiller's anomaly, Schiller is no longer as weak as he was at the beginning, on the contrary, he has begun to become a little excited, and from the performance of his soul form, his soul has begun to become more and more active.

This does not bode well, Batman knows that whether Schiller is weak or hyperactive, it does not mean that he is healthy and normal, and when he is mentally weak, he becomes more crazy, and when he is energetic, he may do more crazy actions.

In addition to completing the mission of tandem shadow monsters, Batman knows that he must keep an eye on Schiller to prevent him from making any terrible changes and causing chaos after leaving Hell and returning to the world.

After the meeting, Batman returned to his dormitory, and the two had not slept yet, so the two started talking again.

The hexagon is a little babbling, and the logic of the language is also a little confusing, and to Batman, he is more like a child, with incomplete intellectual development, so it is particularly easy to cliché.

In the chat that followed, Batman learned that the Hex Horn was indeed a newborn, and that he had awakened to his sanity for less than 100 years, and that he was still a baby compared to the lifespan of the races in Hell.

But perhaps it was his previous act of revenge that spurred him on and kept his spirits in a state of high spirits, and he confided many of the secrets of the mine to Batman.

No one knows more about these mines than Shadow Vine, which has lived here for thousands of years, and Hexagon tells Batman that the continental shelf of the entire barren continent is built on magma, and under the mine, there is a sea of molten lava, which is very dangerous.

The molten sea will recede, and the ore produced is called lava stone, and people who make mistakes in the mine will be sent to carry lava stone.

The lava that has just erupted has an extremely high temperature, even hotter than magma, and most races in Hell can't stand such temperatures, even the lava demons born from the lava

In addition, in a very fearful tone, Hexagon describes to Batman the executions he has seen, in which the overseers will whip the erring miner slaves to a cliff at the bottom of the mine, and then push them into the molten sea, where they will be burned to ashes.

From time to time, Batman will ask his own questions, some of which he doesn't know how to answer, but Batman will infer possible conclusions from his reactions.

In this way, in the second half of the night, Batman emptied all the knowledge that Hexagon knew, which was actually not much, because this little monster that had just been born had never left the Seven Hills Mine.

At the beginning of the second day, Batman clearly sensed that the atmosphere in the mine had changed, and everyone was very nervous.

Before Batman could fully wake up, the Overseer violently pushed open the door and pulled all the miner slaves out of their cells and into the plaza outside.

When all the slaves stood in a row, the overseer cleared his throat and said, "I'm going to tell you that we have something big to do from this day forward!" ….

"Just this morning, His Majesty the great Pyrrh declared war on Astro!"

"The army has reached the border, and the endless supply of armor and weapons in the rear will be the magic weapon for the soldiers to achieve victory!"

"The corrupt general who rules the Seven Mountains Mine has promised His Majesty that although the Seven Hills Mine is the second largest mine under His Majesty's command, it must compete for the first output!"

"Starting today, all rest time has been canceled, meal time has also been canceled, and you must work in the mine day and night until the mission goal is achieved, and no one is allowed to leave the mine until the target output is reached!"

"I know that some demons with weak strength can't survive without food, but you must know that if you don't complete the mission, your fate will be worse than starvation!"

"To supervise your work efficiency. General Rotten Heart has borrowed many Eye Demons from his kind, and they will keep an eye on you all over the mines......

The Demon Overseer snorted coldly, and then, Batman saw a huge eyeball float into the air from the center of the mine.

Many smaller eyeballs, flying out of his back, flew to all corners of the mine, and they were connected by purple nerves, and it seemed that everything that the little eyeballs saw was transmitted back into the big eyeballs.

"General Rotten Heart is in the palace above the Big-Eyed Demon. Keep an eye on each and every one of you, if you dare to be lazy......

Suddenly, all the miner slaves trembled, but they were more afraid of the death that the overseer said, and did not have enough anticipation of what they would experience next, but Batman had already expected it.

Sure enough, after entering the mine, there were eyeball demons everywhere, staring at everyone who intervened in the mine.

Many of the demons who had not yet reacted, as usual, picked up their pickaxes and began to work, but it was not long before a team of overseers broke in.

"You! And you!" The overseer took the whip and pointed at the two dwarf demons, and said in a fierce voice, "The Eye Demon sees you two being lazy! Walked twice with an empty basket, come with us!"

Both of the Overseers were humanoid demons, one with blue skin and the other with red skin, and the red-skinned demon was so tall that the two little demons couldn't even struggle when they lifted the dwarf demon up.

"Where are they going to take him? What's wrong with him?"

"Why can't you hold an empty basket? What exactly are we going to do now? What the hell is going on?"

The chatter sounded, but when the gaze of the demon swept over again, everyone closed their mouths and worked in silence.

The Overseer came several times, taking one or two slaves with them each time, and it wasn't until the break was approaching, and everyone was taken to the lowest level of the mine, to see the demons hanging in the nets, that they knew what General Rotten was going to do.

At the bottom of the mine, there was a huge cavity, with only a small piece of ground at the entrance to stand, and on the opposite side there was a cliff with a hole at the back of the cliff, apparently there was another way to it. ….

At this time, at the edge of the cliff, there was a high pillar with a crossbar on it, which poked towards the molten sea in front, and at the end of the crossbar, a large net fell, and in the net were the miners who had been taken away during the day.

From Batman's point of view, there are at least dozens of various demons in the big net, and they are constantly struggling and shouting, obviously having foreseen their fate.

Almost all the slaves were brought here and gathered together by the overseers to watch the execution.

After a while, General Rotten Heart appeared, and he slowly walked up to the edge of the cliff, which looked very majestic against the light of the fire of the molten sea.

It was a humanoid demon with dark green skin, and according to Hexagon's description, he was supposed to belong to a type of ancient demon, with a tall body, thick limbs, and a head like a fly.

And the reason why he is called General Rotten Heart is because there is a fluorescent green pattern on his chest that blooms from the inside out, which looks as if it has been mutated by something.

He held a harpoon-like weapon in his hand, and when he spoke, the hoarse and rough sound shook people's eardrums.

"Look at the scum! Lazy idiot! Sinners who dare to disobey my commands, they will—"

General Rotten Heart deliberately dragged out a long note, then raised his voice and said, "They will be sunk into the molten and burned to death!"

"Look, if you make it impossible for me to complete the mission, this will be your fate!"

After speaking, he controlled the big net and slowly fell down, until he came to the sky above the molten sea, the bottom demon skin, almost touched the molten lava, and was scalded and screamed, and the demon above it kept grasping the mesh of the big net, trying to climb up, and let out a heart-rending scream.

Batman saw Schiller's figure in the crowd, but at this time, the professor looked disgusted, as if he felt demonic

The screams were too harsh, but Batman felt that Schiller might be disgusted with the unaesthetic approach of General Rotten.

After dealing with this group of psychopaths, Batman found that he could also judge whether something was in line with their values from their perspective.

Such madmen hate slaughter, they feel that it is a waste of precious life, and they do not take pleasure in killing their own kind in large numbers. On the contrary, they hate this kind of thing very much, calling it "repetitive and boring assembly line work" and "more suitable for butchers who slaughter chickens and cows", and feel that this kind of behavior is neither aesthetic nor artistic.

However, the corrupt general did not realize that his purpose of killing chickens and monkeys had been achieved, and now, most of the slave miners were kneeling or lying down, and they kept crying, begging the overseers and generals to spare them.

The fear of death is inevitable for intelligent beings, and in the face of death, whether humans, demons, or angels, all beings are equal, and so is fear.

As if he wanted to deliberately torture the demons who were being executed, the Corrupt Heart General used his bow and arrow to shoot the rope that fell into the net, but he deliberately missed the arrow, so that the arrow missed the edge of the rope and made the whole net shake. ….

Crying and screaming mingle together, and in such an environment, Batman feels that there is something hellish here.

And in the midst of the chaos, only the laughter of the Corrupt Heart General pierced through the mountains and echoed in the sky of hell, where there was no sun, only the molten lava that had been bubbling for ten thousand years.

With the sound of "winter", the net finally fell into the magma, and the screams of the demons were engraved in the hearts of every demon, so that when they returned to the dark mine, everyone was in a daze.

Batman knows that such a big execution drama is providing him with the best opportunity, and these slaves who are indulging in panic need someone who can calm them down and lead them.

Just as Batman was choosing his target, another team of overseers walked in, this time, they pulled in two empty minecart cars along the tracks, and the lead overseer spoke:

"By tomorrow morning, I'd like to see you fill these two wagons, or you'll all be thrown into the lava!"

Hearing this, all the miners froze, and many began to cry as they looked at the two huge transport wagons.

"How is this possible?! This is absolutely impossible! This is usually seven or eight days of work, how can it be done in one night??!!

"There aren't that many mines here, we don't have time to dig up rock formations, we don't have Spikes and Tail Demons, we can't dig rock formations, and even if we do, they'll collapse!"

"Who can come and save me! I don't want to fall into the lava and burn to death!"

At this moment, Batman saw that a crying dwarf devil hit his leg, he looked down, picked up the dwarf devil, and asked him:

"Is it true that you can't dig so many mines in one night?"

"Of course I can't finish digging it! Of course! It's impossible!!

Batman looked around the scene in the mine, silently estimated the amount of surface minerals in his mind, then shook his head and whispered:

"Probably not."

Catch the herd and burn the rope
