Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Bent Backbone of the Terrans
……
"For me." Bud was puzzled at first, and then asked greedily in his eyes, "What kind of treasure is this?" ”
"Calculated according to the rules of our human world, it is six stages." Xu Mu replied.
"That's good." The wrinkles at the corners of Bud's eyes piled up, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he took the treasure knife and rubbed it carefully, saliva almost flowing on it.
It's not that he hasn't seen a treasure of this level, such as something forged by Elder Yale, which is not much different from this, but it is not his, and this knife already belongs to him!
"Hahahaha!"
Bud was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing out loud, and Nash, who was on the side, had a strange face, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Mu's gourd.
In short, it must not be good.
"You've done a good job, I'll take care of you more in the future." Bud smiled and put the knife away and said to Xu Mu.
"Not later, just now." Xu Mu smiled slightly, and then asked, "Actually, I don't understand one thing, that is, why did that sandstorm bring us here, and what is the purpose?" ”
When Bud heard this, he smiled, and then explained: "It's not a secret, Sandstorm, of course, it was controlled by the powerful Dark Wizard, and you humans came here to be used as coolies to repair an altar." ”
"Altar, what's the use?" Xu Mu asked.
Hearing this, Bude shook his head and replied, "I can't explain this question, it was an order from Lord Yabosheen, the leader of our Black Dwarf Clan, ,——. ”
"This altar has been built for more than 100 years."
When Xu Mu heard this, his eyes flickered slightly: "In other words, before us, there were still Terrans who were caught here and worked as coolies for you?" ”
"Of course, otherwise, with such a large altar, our people will only have less than three thousand in total, how can we finish building it ourselves." Bud smacked his lips and said nonchalantly. "It's like the dungeon where you were held before, and we have more than a hundred of them of that size."
"That is, tens of thousands of slaves." Bud said triumphantly.
Xu Mu squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, the killing intent in his body was almost impossible to hide, but he still asked patiently: "Do you have a map here on your body?" ”
"You've got a lot of questions." Bud said unhappily, "I have something to tell you!" ”
"That's no." Nash said.
"Absolutely!" Bud roared, and took out a map that was taller than the others from his spatial law bag, with countless twists and turns on it, which seemed to record the entire appearance of this underground kingdom.
"But I'm not going to show you." Bud laughed, and the color behind him suddenly became gloomy, "You two cheap slaves, don't think that if you give something, you can talk to me no big or small, and next time, I will knock your head correctly!" ”
"Huh." Xu Mu smiled coldly, and then spoke, "One last question." ”
"You're still asking!" Bude was furious, glared and rushed to Xu Mu's side, grabbed his collar and roared, as if he was about to make a move in the next second.
"Last question, do you have any last words?" Xu Mu's voice was slightly cold, and his right hand, at some point, had already grasped the big stick mallet that Bud used to kill people, and with a slight force, the weapon made of gold and stone changed shape like a clay sculpture, making a clicking sound.
Seeing this, Bude's body instantly froze in place, looking at Xu Mu's right hand in disbelief.
"This ...... This can't be, this is a weapon that I've spent so much effort to build, how can you crush it so easily! Bud looked panicked and seemed to be unconscious, but in fact, he had quietly loosened Xu Mu's collar and was about to flee to the door of this cell.
Boom!
Xu Mu didn't give him that chance, snatched the huge mallet, and then slammed it on Bud's lower abdomen, which flew several meters away and hit the wall.
And at this moment, before he could let out a miserable scream, Xu Mu stepped forward, gagged him with straw, snatched his space magic bag, and then firmly stepped on the soles of his feet, unable to move.
"Ugly and disgusting things, you dare to enslave human beings, you live underground for a reason!" Xu Mu's face was cold, and then he turned his head to look at Nash, "Come here, search for his soul." ”
"Yes...... But I don't have mana, aren't we cursed? Nash was stunned by all this in front of him, he didn't expect that Xu Mu, who had no special abilities, would be so strong in his physical strength, it could be described as a monster.
"No, you have a supernatural ability!" Nash suddenly thought that when Xu Mu exchanged blood for him, he had used his ability, and he was not cursed!
"You have used my blood, and the curse has long been broken, hurry up, don't waste time." allow
Mu Leng said coldly, under the effect of his glazed blood, any dark evil will be expelled, including curses.
"Really!" Nash was stunned for a moment, then tried to use his ability, and a black and cyan light flashed on his body, like fireflies in the field.
"Elf, you're an elf!" Bude, who was gagged, lay on the ground, roaring hysterically, and although he couldn't hear what he said, Xu Mu and the others could understand what he meant through his sentences.
"Black dwarf, you almost killed Lao Tzu, go die!" Nash's eyes glowed green, and he walked to Bud's side, crouched down, and then his spirit instantly invaded the other party's sea of consciousness.
It didn't take long for Bud's eyes to turn white, and then, after a violent convulsion, he died.
"This old guy was lying to us before." Nash smacked his lips, and then transmitted the memory fragments he had looted from the sea of Budzhi to Xu Mu, who took them all.
"This altar, called the Heroic Soul, will resurrect the Heroic Spirits of the Dwarves who have died in battle, and they will take possession of human bodies and return to the surface to seek the territory of the Elves and even the Terrans."
"Dwarves, do you want to go back to the surface?" Xu Mu's face was frosty, and he held the knife in his hand.
According to Bude's memory, he knew that the highest combat power of this black dwarf group was the leader Yabo Xien, the peak of the five-stage domain master.
On the other hand, Yaboshien rarely shows up on weekdays, and often goes to other ethnic groups.
So what is left here is only a few domain masters, and their strength is not very strong, because they are all masters of forging weapons and are not good at fighting.
"What are your plans?" With a solemn face, Nash asked Xu Mu, as a hybrid of the human race and the elven race, no matter what way he looked at it, he had to stop the plans of these dwarves.
"You dispose of his body first, and then follow me, daring to imprison humans will make them pay." Xu Mu pushed open the door of the cell and slowly walked into a dark tunnel.
He was going to see what the so-called altar was.
Nash nodded, turned into a cloud of black mist, swept Bud's body away, and quickly cleaned up the scene, and then followed Xu Mu's pace.
Along the way, because they had a map, the two of them also walked through a special passage for transporting human slaves, so they did not encounter obstacles, and after traveling for a while, they arrived at an underground world like a sinkhole.
For a moment, Xu Mu's expression was shocked.
I saw this world, the length and width can reach hundreds of thousands of meters, or even larger, and there is no edge at a glance, surrounded by endless sky-high giant peaks, the surface is overlapped and surrounded by countless steep plank roads, tens of thousands of people with their bodies on their backs, skinny and gray human races, carrying huge boulders several times larger than themselves, building a huge altar at the bottom of the sinkhole.
The enslavement of tens of thousands of people, ragged, struggled to move in this space, all over the space, like ants running around and moving on a rainy day.
The black dwarf overseers, with red faces and voices, whipped the old and young women and children with the weapons in their hands, because they were of no use, and if they were injured, they would not be treated, but would die.
It seems that there are resistance, such as the same group of adventure group abilities who were swept here by the sandstorm with them, they are usually high, where can they stand such a lowly slavery, but when the resistance is fruitless, they can only be beaten to death by a mallet without ability, and they can only accept their fate.
Xu Mu's shocked expression gradually faded, replaced by a calm like an ancient well, he calmly looked at everything in front of him.
Here, the backbone of the Terrans, bent by boulders and their faces buried in dust, are darker and more like gnomes than black gnomes.
"You two, dare to untie the anklets and handcuffs without authorization, don't you want to live!" At this moment, a black dwarf overseer with a mallet came towards Xu Mu and Nash angrily.
Xu Mu turned his head to look at him, the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable, and Nash was quite angry when he looked at the miserable scene in this space, but he still had reason and knew the truth that the enemy was outnumbered.
"Bear with me." Nash turned to look at Xu Mu.
"There is a domain master, you can't beat it, but it's not a problem to escape." Qi Qi was no longer lazy, he looked at the scene in front of him, his voice was cold, in fact, whether it was a human race or a demon race, or a dwarf elf, hostility was normal, but the matter of enslavement was really against the way of heaven.
Back then, after the end of the era of gods and demons, their orcs had a precedent of being enslaved by the human race, and in the end, it took a long time of resistance and the help of some humans to finally form the current situation.
"They're my friends." At this moment, just a second before the black dwarf was about to come over, that is, Xu Mu was about to make a move, Sina walked out of nowhere and relieved them.
"It turned out to be a friend of the Dark Mage." The overseer didn't know Syna, but from the evil and dark aura of her body,
He was able to identify the race directly, and immediately stepped back respectfully, while shouting:
"See clearly, those two are friends of the Black Mage, after seeing them, don't be rude!"
"Yes!"
Xu Mu's hand clenched into a fist, slowly loosened a little, he tried not to look at the scene in the sinkhole, turned his head, and looked at Sina with a cold face:
"Why help me."
"Because we're teammates." Sna replied.
"The sandstorm was the work of people from your race, and you knew it was going to happen." Xu Mu snorted coldly, "What kind of conspiracy do you have!" ”
Sina stared at Xu Mu, wanting to be angry, but in the end she didn't say anything, just glanced deeply at Nash beside her, and then said, "There is no conspiracy, and I can't tell you if I do." ”
"You just need to know that I want to go out as much as you do, and I want to destroy the altar here, and we are on the same front."
Xu Mu stared at her for a long time, as if he was analyzing these words, which sentence was true and which sentence was false.
"Do you dare to make a heavenly oath!" Nash asked aloud.
"There's no need for that, if you don't believe me, we'll do it ourselves." Sina said lightly.
"You guys?" Xu Mu grasped the key.
"I, Nanfeng, and those who have powerful physical abilities, Zuo Qi, the leader of the adventure group, are also looking for the strong among those enslaved human races." Sina said.
"But no matter how strong they are, they can't be able to defeat the domain master." Nash said.
"How do you know if you don't try, what's more, if you don't have me?" Sina smiled, then stretched out her finger and hooked it to Xu Mu, "How did you think about it?" ”
"With you on board, it should be a lot easier to do this."
"Yes." After a moment, Xu Mu Silin nodded, "I have a way to make them increase their combat power to the third stage or even the fourth order without using their abilities. ”
"But this method is limited in number, only a hundred people."
Xu Mu thought about the modern weapons in his spatial ring, and spoke.
With those weapons, he can form an ultra-modern army of hundreds, and as long as they cooperate well, it shouldn't be a problem to fight against three thousand dwarves in a small place like the underground world.
Of course, all this must be established on the premise that the other party's domain master does not intervene.
"One hundred...... Tsk, I'll just say you're not simple, although I'm curious about what it is, but I guess I asked, and you won't say. Sina smiled faintly.
"Hmm." Xu Mu nodded, then rolled up his sleeves and slowly walked to the altar.
"What are you going to do?" Sna asked, surprised.
"Help them move the stones." Xu Mu said, reaching out to stop the whip waved by a dwarf overseer, and helped the old man who fell to the ground up.
The dwarf overseer was furious at Xu Mu's actions, and just wanted to get angry and scold, but when he saw the latter, he actually lifted the huge rock weighing thousands of catties with one hand, which was hugged by several people.
"Ahem, next ...... The next is not an example. The overseer swallowed silently, then turned around.
Nash and Sina were a little puzzled when they saw Xu Mu like this, they actually didn't understand the meaning of Xu Mu's trip.
"It's a good way to win people's hearts." Sina looked at Xu Mu, who was helping the slaves move the boulder back and forth, and nodded thoughtfully, she thought that Xu Mu was preparing for a future rebellion.
"No, you're thinking too much." Poor Qi jumped into Nash's arms and glanced at Sina with disdain, "He's actually just thinking, the more I work, the less tired these slaves will be." ”
"Are you kidding?" Sina looked at Qi Qi in surprise, Xu Mu used to move stones, just to do good deeds?
"Of course not." Qi Qi raised his head proudly, "I don't know, Brother Hao Han is an official of the imperial court." ”
"As an official, of course, you must be considerate of the suffering of the world."
"So, he's a good guy?" Nash thought of Xu Mu's terrifying knife and let out a little disbelief.
If he only relied on the breath on the knife, he would think that Xu Mu was a peerless demon who killed people without blinking, but now a demon told him that the one holding the knife was a court official who was worried about the country and the people!
Qi Qi didn't say anything more, he didn't need to explain anything about this kind of thing, because Xu Mu was that kind of person, he once killed a gold and silver merchant for Fengqing Village.
Nash was also silent, not knowing what she was thinking, but only Sina, she looked at Xu Mu's busy back and forth, and for the first time in her pure black pupils, a dignified color appeared.
