Chapter 1005: Ambush
The suffocating atmosphere made Wan'er can't help but turn her back and retch.
I glanced at it, but found no trace of Murphy, so I took out the compass, and silently recited Murphy's birth date in my heart, and kept entering the curse.
The forces in Blackstone Fort are chaotic and disturbed by spirit ores, and under normal circumstances, I can't use the compass to search for it.
The spirit mine collapsed, allowing the soil to bury the spirit mine, and the spiritual power was temporarily restored to stability, and I was able to barely use the compass.
The compass was buzzing and trembling, the pointer was swinging up and down, left and right, and my heart was hanging in my throat with the pointer.
If this thing can't hold up and blow up, I'll have to turn this mountain upside down like a headless fly.
Such a big place, when I find Murphy, I guess the first seven have passed.
Crackle –
The compass produced a fine crack, and at the same time the pointer stopped, pointing directly opposite us, to a small cave to the southwest.
The mine had completely collapsed, and only a hole less than two meters long could be seen, which was filled with dirt.
Whew, found it.
I took out two more shovels and handed one of them to Wan'er.
"Keep digging!"
Wan'er stood at the entrance of the cave and said with some trepidation, "My lord, I don't think I can dig anymore, otherwise it will collapse even more."
I pressed my palm against the collapse, sensing the energy of the dirt within.
"The collapsed part, which occupies about the first five meters, is excavated from the solid wall on the left, digging five meters, and then connecting the tunnel inside."
According to my command, the two of us dug quickly, and soon dug through the tunnel.
Five meters later, the cave was half collapsed, and the narrow and cramped tunnel was full of dust, and people could only crawl forward.
Every few meters you climb forward, there are fluttering earth and rocks falling overhead, and you can even bury most of your body.
Behind her, Wan'er cried, "My lord, I'm ...... Will we be buried alive?"
I said, "I'm here, and you won't."
"Even if you do get buried, I promise you'll get you out alive."
Wan'er snorted, and her mood stabilized a lot, "Thank you, my lord, I feel much better now."
The cave seems to have collapsed badly, but the actual structure is quite stable, with a wooden beam as a support every five meters or so.
Most of the falling overhead is just floating soil, and it will not collapse in a large area.
The further we went, the wider the cave became, and we were already able to walk side by side.
When the road is more than five meters wide, I can see the rails laid from the ground, interspersed with small caves on the left and right.
The pointer of the compass pointed to the southwest, and we walked straight along the road for a short time, when we suddenly heard a faint sound in the mine at a fork in the road ahead.
Wan'er: "What's wrong?"
I gestured to her and whispered, "Be careful, there's a sound at the intersection ahead!"
Wan'er asked in a low voice, "Isn't it a common occurrence for the mine to collapse?"
I looked warily at the dark cavern ahead, "No! I can tell the sound of dirt and stones falling."
"The sound in front of me is clearly the friction of iron tools!"
I pressed against the wall, holding my breath and walking towards the fork in the road.
In the collapsed mine, there are many glowing gravels and ores, mixed with the earth, which can illuminate a distance of about three meters.
I have the eye of delusion, and I can see more than ten meters clearly.
As I got closer, I saw a dozen men stewed at the back of the mine, holding hoes, pickaxes, and crowbars, waiting with bated breath.
I'm sure that once we pass by, these dozen or so people will immediately make a surprise attack.
In a sudden situation, more than a dozen people rushed up, and it was really easy for us to be overwhelmed.
I took out a Fire Blessing Charm from the storage ring and threw it into the narrow mine.
Boom –
The flames suddenly burned, and a group of people cried wolf
, rolling out of it.
The power of the Wishing Fire God Spell was limited, and their skin and flesh were roasted to a red and blistered color, and they were slightly injured but not killed.
I'm just going to teach these people a lesson, not to kill anyone.
A group of people scrambled to get up from the ground, picked up their weapons again, and stared at us in horror and greed.
Their greedy eyes mainly locked on Wan'er behind me.
In a situation where people are bound to die, the desire to survive and the instinctive desire to reproduce will become more and more intense.
I stared coldly at the twelve people in front of me, "Go back to your dog hole, or I'll kill you right now!"
A group of people still didn't retreat, staring at me murderously.
I shook my hand and made another thunder spell, and the person standing at the front of the body fell straight to the ground in black at the moment when the thunder exploded.
The rest of the people were frightened, so they immediately dispersed and honestly hid in the cave.
I noticed that there were a bunch of bottles and jars in the cave, and there were some pieces of water in them.
There are also dried meat that has been cut into pieces, arranged in rows on the stones.
Wan'er muttered quietly, "These guys are trapped underground, but the food is good."
When the miners go down the mine, they will only carry a day's rations, and these people have been trapped for almost ten days.
The water in the bottle was brought from a crack in the stone.
As for the meat......
Thinking that they were eyeing us with knives ready to do something to us, I guessed where the meat came from.
I didn't warn Wan'er so that she wouldn't be nauseous again.
Standing at the end, a strong man with a tiger's back arched his hand towards me, and said in a rather quaint manner: "Master, we have no grievances and no enemies, and we are forced to attack you."
"Today we lose, food and water, you can take a third."
"There are so many people in the mines, we can't fight hard."
I glanced at him indifferently, "Get out of the way, you're out of my sight."
The strong man had a dark face, hesitated for a while, and still led people to dodge.
Behind the strong man, there is a fired painted clay sculpture with a particularly unique shape.
The clay sculpture is half human-tall, with a muscular man on the left and a woman on the right.
The two-faced yin-yang man maintains a standing posture, holding his hands to the sky, and his expression has an inexplicable piety, as if he is praying. Ь.
I pointed to the two-faced figure and pulled out another piece of scone, "Can anyone tell me what this figure is for?"
One of them, a short, thin monkey, said eagerly, "The idol is for blessings, give me bread!"
As he spoke, he was about to rush forward and snatch it.
I kicked it out of the way, "You lied!"
The thin monkey didn't use his brain to think at all, and his eyes wandered when he spoke, obviously fooling me.
I asked, "Who else can answer?"
The crowd looked at each other, and no one was willing to speak.
The strong man, whose face was cloudy, suddenly made up his mind, waved his hand and said angrily, "Kill them!"
