Chapter 839: Rescue and Break Out!
After posting a quest to two players of the demon race, Bai Lidu saw that the time for impostor was almost up, so he went underground after changing to a more hidden corner......
After lying on the hospital bed for three hours of napping, Bai Lidu was woken up by Xiaoyao.
went online again, and sure enough, it was still in the offline position, and the impostor on the pass was launched again, and Bai Lidu turned into a businessman Zhao Bohai again.
Returning to the position where he had previously posted the task, the two demon alien players were indeed waiting there.
"Dear wandering merchant, we have discovered the whereabouts of the two minotaurs you hired......"
"Oh? Where are they? β
"About 20 miles east of the main city, there is a long and narrow mountain range, called Zhenniu Ridge, which is actually mainly a mining area, and there are several large and small mines, and we are in a mine that is not open to us players and is heavily guarded, and we found two figures with bull heads in the distance, which seem to be working as coolies in the mine......"
"Heavily guarded? Where did the heavy troops come from? β
"Of course, it's the soldiers sent out by our Demon City barracks......"
"Barracks...... Well, now that you've discovered the whereabouts of those two minotaurs, this book is yours......"
Bai Lidu said that, and threw the skill book of [Strong Discharge] to the person in front of him, as for how the two of them were divided, he didn't care at all.
Quietly walking out of the east gate of the Demon City, Bai Lidu summoned his mount and galloped all the way to a faintly visible mountain range in front of him, presumably it should be the so-called Zhenniu Ridge......
When you come to the foot of Zhenniu Ridge, you can see a mine, but the mine in front of you is obviously with players coming in and out, and it should not be the one the two are referring to......
Searching all the way along the mountain road on the side of the mountain, sure enough, in a relatively hidden location, I found a few orc soldiers wearing uniform clothes and patrolling......
With Bai Lidu's current strength, although he can directly kill him, he is also worried that if he makes too much movement and attracts hostile players here, it may be more troublesome to find Zhao Bohai or rescue him.
So, Bai Lidu walked generously and straight to the pair of soldiers stationed in front......
"Stop! Who? β
With this reprimand from the other party, several soldiers also immediately rushed to Bai Lidu's approach and surrounded him in the center.
"Brothers, when I first came here, I got lost, how should I go back to the Demon City?"
The orc soldier who had just shouted, who seemed to be also a captain and figure, lowered his head and thought for a moment before replying: "You have committed a felony by trespassing on the forbidden military territory, and now you have two paths, the first is to be imprisoned and tortured, and the second is to work in the mine for ten days......
"I'll choose the second ......" Bai Lidu was waiting for an opportunity to be caught as a servant.
"Okay, count you know the current affairs, come here, take him into the mining area......"
"Yes! βββ
Bai Lidu was immediately forcibly escorted into the mining area by two soldiers beside him.
What I saw was a big hole dug out of a hill not far away, and people in various costumes were also walking out of or entering this big hole......
"It's your tools, take them, and follow them into the cave......" one soldier said after throwing a bamboo basket in front of Bai Lidu.
"Okay! I'm going to work......"
Bai Lidu immediately picked up the bamboo basket on the ground......
ββSystem prompt: You have picked up the ordinary carrying tool [bamboo basket], is it automatically assembled?
Be!
This bamboo basket appears directly on the back of the character, and it does not seem to occupy any equipment slots.
In the process of queuing up to enter the cave, Bai Lidu also looked left and right, hoping to find Zhao Bohai's figure......
As a result, I went all the way to the cave, but I didn't find anything......
Because in the cave, every other distance, there will be burning torches inserted in the stone wall, so the cave is not as dark as expected, continue to walk inside, Bai Lidu only found that this cave is really quite deep......
Bai Lidu didn't wonder in his heart, he didn't know what the barracks of Demon City had made such a big move, what was it for? If it's just mining, it's tantamount to the player's strength being the most powerful and the best to use, but the barracks don't use the player's power and use this method of forced labor, which is really incomprehensible......
After walking for a long time, I finally walked to the innermost part of the cave, and what I saw was a more open hall at the bottom of the cave, and some laborers with mining picks were also working hard to chisel the stone wall, and the gravel that was chiseled down was loaded into the basket by people like Bai Lidu who came in with baskets on their backs, and then carried out of the cave......
Bai Lidu squatted on the ground and began to load the basket with gravel, but his movements were not fast, and he also wanted to see what was going on at the bottom of the cave......
"You! What for? Hurry up and work, don't grind! A half-orc with a leather whip in his hand said in a humming voice, and the leather whip in his hand was also pointing at Bai Lidu, who was squatting on the ground and looking around.
"Yes! The small one didn't dare to rub ......" Bai Lidu also immediately sped up the action of loading gravel.
When the bamboo basket was filled and carried on his back again, Bai Lidu followed behind several people and walked out slowly......
Walking out of the hole, following the predecessors to a place where the ore was stacked, taking off the bamboo basket on his back, and then pouring out the ore, Bai Lidu also looked around by the way, and found that in a corner of the mine, there was a dilapidated tent, which was probably a place for these miners to rest......
"Latent Invisibility!"
Hiding behind the ore pile, Bai Lidu let out a soft snort and disappeared in place......
In a state of stealth, he quickly ran to the tent area, and Bai Lidu began to search for them one by one......
Sure enough, when he came to a tent with several big holes, Bai Lidu heard a coughing sound coming from inside, it should be a patient lying inside, and when he went in, the person who was lying sick on the ground was the Zhao Bohai he was looking for!
