At the end of the tracks, a huge man-tall minecart is poorly built and clearly unfit for human use.

The minecart is parked alone in a tunnel that is still under development, and there is a small amount of black stone in the minecart, and if you look closely, the surrounding walls are also full of this ore.

Xu Shuo rubbed his finger on a black stone, then put it in his mouth and tasted it, a sour taste made him frown.

"Looks like someone is mining iron ore here." Xu Shuo said.

"Mining? In this labyrinth? Lilian was a little surprised.

"Well, I guess ......"

Xu Shuo suddenly turned his head in the middle of his sentence and looked at the other end of the tracks, and Lilian reacted in the same way, they all heard something.

Something seems to be approaching.

"Hide." Xu Shuo said.

In the middle of a cul-de-sac, with only one minecart tall enough to provide cover, the two crouched down in front of the minecart, breathing lightly and focusing on their ears.

It was a heavy, slow footstep, and with each step, the earth trembled more violently, and a strange "hum" could be faintly heard, like a disgruntled man.

Step by step, getting closer and closer, a shadow with two sharp corners, driven by the firelight on both sides of the wall, slowly appeared in front of Xu Shuo and Lilian.

The two of them curled up in unison, holding their breath and leaning closer under the cover of the minecart.

At that moment, the footsteps stopped abruptly, and the shadow froze.

Xu Shuo and Lilian glanced at each other, both thinking: Could it be that they were discovered?

His heart scaled like thunder, and the blood in his whole body flowed rapidly, Xu Shuo clasped his hand on the handle of the short sword, and the moves he wanted to use when he handed over his hands were rushing to his mind.

The next second, the minecart moved—someone was pulling the minecart!

The two of them were half-leaning on the minecart, but as soon as the man pulled the minecart, they suddenly lost their center of gravity and fell forward.

Xu Shuo was the first to react, he drew his short sword with his right hand, and stood up with his left hand, about to attack the guy pulling the minecart.

However, when he raised his head to see the scene in front of him, he stopped his movements again.

"Xu ......" Lilian recovered her center of gravity one step later, and was about to say something, but Xu Shuo immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

Xu Shuo made a boo gesture and pointed ahead.

Lilian looked ahead, and a minotaur about two meters tall and covered in iron was pulling the minecart forward with one hand. The other party turned his back to them and didn't seem to notice anything unusual. The slightest sound they made just now was also muffled by the "clang" of the rails as the minecart moved.

Xu Shuo leaned into Lilian's ear and whispered, "Let's follow it." ”

After speaking, Xu Shuo lightly followed behind the minecart. After hesitating for a moment, Lilian also cautiously followed Xu Shuo.

So a strange scene appeared, a minotaur pulled a minecart in front, and behind the minecart, followed by two humans who bowed down, the distance between the two sides was only more than a meter wide, as long as the minotaur turned back, it was easy to find the two behind him.

Xu Shuo stared at the back of the neck of the minotaur in front of him, holding the short sword in his hand, at this time, as long as he wanted, he could kill this minotaur by sneak attack at any time, and the reason why he didn't choose to do it at this moment was actually because he had another plan.

He and Lilian had been walking in this fifth layer for a while, and it was not easy for them to come across such a minotaur, if they were killed like this, they didn't know when they would be able to find the next one, so it was better to follow it, maybe they could find their lair. In addition, he was also curious about what these minotaurs were digging for these iron ores.

Of course, this needs to be done in a safe place, and if the minotaur shows signs of wanting to turn back halfway, he will not hesitate to cut off the other person's head.

Fortunately, the minotaur never looked back along the way.

The two followed the minotaur to the outside of a cave, and there was a crisp sound of metal colliding in the hole, and at the same time, a wave of heat accompanied by an unpleasant smell fluttered out, and Xu Shuo heard someone in the cave shouting something in a language he didn't understand.

The rails were only laid outside the hole, and the Minotaur pulled the minecart off the rails and walked in.

Xu Shuo and Lilian didn't know what was going on inside, so they didn't dare to break in, so they leaned against the outer wall and peeked inside.

After seeing the scene inside, Lilian's eyes couldn't help but widen, "Mr. Xu Shuo, this is ......"

The cave is simply a minotaur factory, dozens of fiery tandoor ovens are brushed in a row, nearly a hundred minotaurs are responsible for different tasks, some are responsible for operating the tandoor, some are responsible for striking iron, they will burn the red-hot iron into weapons and iron armor.

A minotaur attached a freshly forged, still glowing red iron armor directly to another topless minotaur, who let out a fierce scream, and the flesh and iron armor fused together in the heat, and an indestructible minotaur warrior was born.

"This has to be three weeks old...... I can't eat a steak like this, anyway, what's that? ”

Xu Shuo noticed that among the minotaurs, there was an alternative existence, just looking at the appearance, he was just a young man with a soft appearance, but it was probably not right to say that he was a human, because there was a strange sharp horn on the young man's forehead.

"It's a ghost!" Angela suddenly shouted, "Why do ghosts appear in such a remote country?" ”

(Ghost man?) ）

"Ghost people are a race on the other side of the Demon Realm, and they are a race that can be said in the Demon Realm." Angela said.

(Demon Realm?) That is, the enemy of humanity? It's been almost a week since I've been in another world, and it's the first time I've seen you...... ）

The ghost boy was communicating with a minotaur with a strange pattern on his face, who was more than twice the size of the former, but it still bowed its head and looked very humble.

(What are they talking about?) ）

"This ghost man seems to want to take these minotaurs out and invade nearby cities." Angela said.

(Huh?) Can they get out? ）

"If you only rely on the minotaur themselves, they will definitely not be able to get out, there is an enchantment restriction in the labyrinth, and the creatures created by the maze can only act in the maze, but if this ghost man has a way to destroy the enchantment, then it's another matter." Angela sighed, and continued, "But there should be, otherwise this guy wouldn't be here." ”

(Listen to your tone, is this a common thing?) ）

"There are still some big empires in the countries close to the border of the Demon Realm, and there are occasional ones, but as for a remote and small country like the Yan Country, this is the first time I've seen it...... Even if you rob it, you can't grab anything valuable, at best, it's sabotage. ”

Xu Shuo thought about it and asked a question that he was more concerned about.

(So, if there is a fight, me or him, who wins?) ）

"Who knows, he's not a people of our gods, and I can't look at his data. However, it's better not to underestimate him, the guys who dare to set foot on our territory alone basically have two hands. ”

Xu Shuo smacked his tongue.

That's a bit of a hassle.
