Chapter Thirty-Eight: I'm going to get you on your feet

In the underworld, around the huge altar, many bonfires were lit, and countless people sat on the dusty ground, eating the dinner they had just called.

The so-called supper consisted of tree bark and some rice bran that had long been put away from mold, which were poured into a large pot by the dwarves and stirred together, and after being cooked for a while, they became the dinner of the human slaves.

Of course, breakfast is the same.

Xu Mu was covered in dust, after a busy day, his tattered grass clothes had been scraped out of many holes, he sat in front of the campfire, looked at the stone bowl full of paste in his hand, and then looked at the people around him, and fell into deep thought.

"Don't say it's you, this thing, even I can't eat a demon beast." Qi Qi jumped onto Xu Mu's shoulder, looked at the contents of the bowl, and shook his head again and again.

Even when he once ran away from home and was dizzy with hunger, he had never eaten such a bad thing, and the pigs in the mortal world might be disgusted when they saw it.

"But they ate it deliciously." Xu Mu tried to take a small sip, sipping it on the tip of his tongue, and suddenly an indescribable grainy and sour smell instantly filled his heavenly spirit, making him frown.

But when Xu Mugang wanted to spit out that little bit of "rice porridge", a few unkempt slaves beside him were rushing to the cauldron with all their strength, asking for another bowl.

"For them, it's not food, it's life." Xu Mu thoughtfully tasted the little grain of rice on the tip of his tongue, and then said.

"So, what the hell are your plans, there are obviously no holy relics here, I have looked for them." Qi Qi yawned, and then said that in the process of Xu Mu helping people move stones, he had already explored all the terrain here, except for some totems and forged weapons, there were no holy relics here.

"Except for the same group of paranormal people who came with us, there are very few human slaves who are willing to rebel with me." Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the rugged cliffs, holding his hands on the black dwarf overseers at various passes, his eyes were slightly cold.

"They have been oppressed for more than 100 years, their ancestors have been here for generations, how can no one resist, but in the end they all failed, so they don't want to believe me."

"Whether it's a human being or a monster, they all have a herd mentality." Qi Qi looked serious and said, "As long as you can bring some people to kill first, naturally more and more people will join." ”

"That's what I meant." Xu Mu nodded, and then took out a piece of dried meat from the space ring, and was about to eat it, but he saw a skinny little girl in the distance, looking at herself with an empty stone bowl.

Xu Mu was silent for a moment, then squeezed out a smile and beckoned to her: "Come here." ”

The little girl tiptoed over, she watched Xu Mu put the jerky into her bowl, and then her eyes lit up, and she immediately picked it up with her dark and thin little hand and handed it to her mouth.

"Why don't you eat it?" Xu Mu asked with a smile when he saw the girl's movements.

"Brother, what you said can take us out of here, and we don't have to move boulders all day

Head, is it real? The little girl asked timidly, holding back the smell of meat.

"Of course." Xu Mu stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's head, smiling gently, "Just tonight, I'll take you out." ”

"Really." The girl asked in surprise, her eyes brightening even more, ten times brighter than when she saw the jerky.

"Fake." In the distance, an old man walked slowly towards Xu Mu with his hands behind his back, followed by a large number of human slaves, who seemed to be headed by him.

"Decades of experience have taught us that if you can get caught here, don't think about escaping."

Click......

In the empty sinkhole, the sound of feet stepping on gravel sounded, dense as a forest, and black dwarf dwarves with weapons in their hands poured out of the holes in the cliff wall, blocking all the roads to the ground.

Xu Mu raised his head, looked at the black dwarf on the cliff wall, and then looked at the old man beside him, and after a moment of silence, he asked puzzledly, "Why." ”

"Because I can't, watch you take them to their deaths!" There was a trace of pain in the old man's turbid and resolute eyes, "It's been more than a hundred years, our ancestors have been cultivating this altar for more than a hundred years, I don't know how many people have led us to resist, but the final result is without exception failure, failure, that is to kill many people!" ”

Xu Mu shook his head: "So, if you don't resist, do you want your descendants to stay in this dark underground world for the rest of your life?" ”

"The altar is going to be repaired soon." The old man's voice regained his composure, and he pointed to the huge altar behind him, "In a month at most, it will be all completed, and by then, we may be able to go home." ”

Xu Mu sighed, pointed to the black gnomes at the entrance of the cave and said: "Once an altar is repaired, there will be thousands of altars, the dwarves are greedy and tyrannical by nature, if you don't resist, you will never be able to return home." ”

"You have to try, if you don't let us go, what to do, it will be a month later." The old man was silent for a moment, then said.

Hearing this, Xu Mu held the stone bowl in his hand and smiled meaninglessly.

These slaves, who have been squeezed day and night for a hundred years, are now pinning their hopes on the people who oppress them.

"Who the hell is going to resist, stand up, let me see!" A dwarf black gnome leader, holding a huge mace, stood at the mouth of the cave in the cliff and asked fiercely.

Below, no one spoke.

The Black Dwarf Commander was angry, and he was angry at the silence of those lowly human slaves, and brandished his mace vigorously, shouting: "If you don't stand up again, the human slaves below will die with you!" ”

As he spoke, countless dwarfs armed with bows and arrows poured out from the caves of the sinkhole, as if they were ready to draw their bows and aim at the crowd below.

No matter who it is, they don't need to know who it is, they only know that as long as they kill people, then people naturally don't

Will resist again.

"Don't let go of the arrows, don't let go of the arrows, it's not for us to resist......" A slave cried out to the dwarven archers above in his arms in terror.

"If you don't want to die, just say who it is!" The Archon shouted triumphantly and angrily.

"Who's it, tell me quickly!" The black gnomes in the other direction shouted loudly.

"Say who it is, say who it is......"

Countless dwarves shouted and shouted, and the huge sky was full of their violent and smug voices, mixed with the cries of some human slaves, they were all panicked, their helpless eyes turned around, and finally, they were all ready to move, and their eyes fell on Xu Mu's body.

"Despicable human slave, restless on the first day you entered, I order you to punish yourself and apologize!" A black dwarf recognized Xu Mu and roared angrily.

Xu Mu didn't speak, just silently, looking at the familiar faces around him who were immature or old.

These were the people he had helped during the day, he had helped the old man to stop the overseer's hammer, he had helped the thin young man push the heavy wooden cart, he had given the woman clothes to cover her body, and he had given the little girl in her arms, a piece of bacon.

He had given many things, but now, these people were looking at him, with those pitiful and complicated eyes.

"Kill yourself, don't affect innocent lives." The old man among the human slaves spoke.

Nash and Sina stood in the distance, frowning at all this, they didn't know what choice Xu Mu would make.

Qi Qi knew, so he stretched his waist.

"Bang!"

At some point, Xu Mu held the pistol in his hand, and after he was silent for a long time, he finally pulled the trigger expressionlessly and shot through the head of the black dwarf in armor.

Looking at his slowly falling body, the eyes of countless human slaves all became shocked, and the old man who reported the rebellion to the dwarves was even more frightened and speechless, so he could only stare wide-eyed and point at Xu Mu tremblingly: "You...... You! ”

Xu Mu looked at the smoke from the muzzle of the pistol, drank the coarse chaff in the stone bowl with one hand, chewed for a while, handed the gun in his hand to the old man, and said expressionlessly: "Take it." ”

"This ......" The old man hesitated as he looked at the angry gnomes above him, and the arrows hanging above his head seemed to fall at any moment, but just then a young man came up and took his pistol.

His eyes were hot, and he learned Xu Mu's movements, clumsily loaded the bullet, and then shot it into the air.

Boom!

Hearing the gunshot, Xu Mu smiled, he threw more guns out of the space, and then pulled out the knife on his waist, pointed the blade at the sky with an expressionless face, and said in a deep voice:

"The dwarves have forced you to kneel with brutal authority and false name, and I will make you stand up."
