The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 975 Battle for the Tower ([-])
After the visit to the mine was over, Schiller and Batman were not thrown back into the dirty and dark prison, but were assigned to a dormitory each. What surprised Batman even more was that this dormitory was still alone. world.

The mine they visited was the largest and most central mine in the entire mine, and beside the mine, there was a bunker, which looked very similar to a medieval castle.

The corridor here is very narrow, but the room is very large. The 4 floors above the ground are all where the guards live, while the 6 floors below the ground are the miners who work in the central mine.

The dormitory assigned to Batman is located on the second floor of the basement. The entire room is only 2 to 2 square meters, so there can only be a straw mat, and there is a torch that burns with magical energy on the wall.

However, although this room is small, it is not cold. Batman suspects that there may be lava layers under the ground of the mine, so the whole building appears warm and dry.

There is also a water basin in the corner of the room. No matter how you use it, the water in it will never run out. It can not only provide some moist water vapor in the dry room, but also can be used for cleaning.

If the only disadvantage of this dormitory is that the sound insulation is not very good, everyone lives in a small cage with thin walls and very close to each other. Just as Batman wanted to sit down and rest for a while, he heard There was a muttering curse from the next door:
"Damn, my ankle... hurts like hell, that damn lava monster, he did it on purpose, he wanted to make me fall into the lava while digging... oh, it hurts, it hurts what……"

"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Batman knocked on the wall next to him and asked. The creature on the opposite side seemed to be frightened by him. After a scream, he was silent for a long time, and then Batman said:

"I'm a new miner today, and I'm not familiar with this place, can you tell me where this is?"

"I knew it..." The voice on the other side sighed, his voice was a little shrill, but his pronunciation was still clear, he said: "Another unlucky guy who was caught here, ha, let's see if you can live here How long, three days, or four days?"

"Are you also caught by the sandworm?" Batman asked.

"Don't be stupid, that kind of big bug can only deal with small species like you...cough cough..." The other person coughed twice and said, "I'm an aborigine here, mining is my job, cough cough cough ... my feet ..."

"Is your foot hurt?" Batman asked pretending to be concerned, "Do you need help?"

Suddenly, Batman saw a black shadow appearing at the door of the dormitory, and a black tentacle stretched in.

There is a scarlet eyeball on the top of the tentacle, the eyeball turned around, looked at Batman, and then said: "Oh, an unlucky human being, look at you, you should pretend to be a believer in evil gods, what's wrong? ? Does your boss want you?"

"I don't know what's going on, can you tell me? Where is this place? What am I going to do tomorrow?" Batman asked a series of questions, but the eyeballs on the other side rolled around and said: "Don't try to lie to me, you cunning human being, if you want to get an answer from me, you have to pay the price..."

"What do you want?" Batman asked.

"I heard that human souls are very delicious. Why don't you give me a part of your soul? Let me bite you, and I'll answer your questions..." the demon said with a low voice.

"I'm afraid that's not fair," Batman replied.

"Fair!? You want to talk about fairness in hell??" The opposite party seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. He hoarsely laughed a few times, and then two more tentacles stretched in, towards the bat. Xia forced the past.

Batman didn't panic, he stood up from the ground, since he discovered that demons can take physical damage, he has no awe for this magical creature.

He turned around, took the torch from the wall next to him, and then swung the torch with lightning speed, letting the flames pass over one of the tentacles. As expected, there was a scream from the opposite side.

"Take it away! Take it away! Take it away!! You damn human!!! I'm going to swallow you!!!!" The tentacles on the opposite side began to dance continuously, trying to escape through the crack of the door, but the bat With sharp eyes and quick hands, before the black tentacle wanted to slip out through the crack of the door, he held down the base of the tentacle.

He put the torch aside first, grabbed the tentacle with both hands, and pulled it in hard, the demon on the opposite side let out a fierce scream.

"AH! AH! Let me go! My ankle! My ankle is already hurting...Let me go!!! Oh please, don't do this!!!"

Batman finally pulled the tentacle hard, only to hear a "bang" from the door of the dormitory next to him, as if the demon's body was pulled and hit the door.

Finding that there was no room for pulling, Batman grabbed the base of the tentacles, tied a knot on his arm, and then brought a torch to let the flames erode the base of the black tentacles, and then said in a cold tone: " Answer my question, where is this? How did you get here? What are you doing here?"

"Oh oh oh oh!! Let go of me!!...Okay, ok, I'll answer your question, but after I finish answering, you have to let go of my feet...you bloody human, you all It's a group of cunning monsters!"

The movement of Batman's hand paused for a moment. He didn't know whether he was insulted or praised by the demon who said he was a monster. But then, the demon began to say intermittently:
"You and your master must be country bumpkins, otherwise, when you see the sign on the gate, you should know that this is the Seven Hills Mine of His Majesty Belial, and it is also the second largest mine in His Majesty Belial's underground territory ..."

"How did I get here? I've said it all. I'm an aborigine here. I'm a umbral living in the mine. His Majesty Belial's army has arrived here and occupied the mine. I'm here for him. Work……"

"Also, what am I doing here? What else can I do here? Of course it's mining. The Qishan Mine has almost all the mainstream minerals in hell. The weapons and armor on the guards are all forged from these minerals." ..."

"What's your name?" Batman asked again.

"My name is Liujiao, please let go of me, my leg is about to break... oh, it hurts..."

The voice on the other side was already a little crying. Batman found that the demons here were much more innocent than he imagined, so he let go of one of the feet, allowing the tentacles to retract, but the other foot was still held by him. Holding it in his hand, he opened his mouth and said:

"I know that there are guards in the dormitory, so no matter what strange movements you hear from my side, it's best not to make a sound. If you attract the guards, I will definitely kill you before the guards kill me." kill."

Batman's threat was not mixed with any water. After the umbral called Hexagon retracted its last foot, he groaned twice, and then said: "You human beings who are overwhelmed are always If you want to escape, I don't care, what are you doing in your own room."

Batman narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have humans been here before?"

Liu Jiao seemed to be stroking his injured foot. He said, "What nonsense are you talking about? There are a lot of human beings here. I have been neighbors with at least five or six human beings, and they all want to run outside..."

"So did they get out?" Batman asked again.

"Most of them ran out. I have to admit that you are a cunning race. It's just that this is hell. Even if you ran out of this mine, where else could you go? Not to work for other demons..."

"Weak individuals like human beings, after coming to hell, have only two endings, either hiding in mines, barracks, and slaves, working for demons, or being unlucky, encountering powerful demons, and being swallowed in one bite ..."

"Are you a powerful demon?" Batman asked.

"You humans really love to talk nonsense." Liujiao snorted and said, "If I were a powerful demon, would I be so embarrassed by you?"

"Shadow monsters are just companions of Shadow Mine. Most of them are irrational and will only instinctively attack demons who want to mine Shadow Mine. Because of this, all sane Shadow Monsters will be arrested. When mining, appease the same kind and let them not attack the miners, this is what I do..."

Batman silently wrote down the information he said, and after a while, Liujiao took the initiative to ask: "Are you going to run outside too? Then you can take advantage of this night to dig a hole from the gap in the wall behind. Before, That's how my neighbors get out, you better get out, I hate crafty humans."

Hearing this, Batman looked at the gap in the wall behind him. Because he was in the shadow of the torch, Batman didn't look carefully at the corner on the right side of the straw mat. At this moment, he found that there seemed to be a small gap there.

When Batman puts his hand in the gap, he can clearly feel the airflow blowing out from the gap, which means that there is a considerable space behind.

"Aren't the guards here worried about people running out?"Batman asked, he really felt a little confused, so he asked again: "The defense here is unbelievably lax..."

"Run and run." Liujiao said indifferently: "Those big bugs can bring back tens or hundreds of people every day. Even if they all run away, they can continue to catch them the next day. Moreover, you humans are the only ones who can't think about it. For demons, where is work not work?"

"Have you ever thought of fighting or running away?" Batman asked as he checked the gap.

"Why resist or run away?" Liujiao's voice was also a little puzzled, he said: "If I run out, I will be captured by other demons and taken to other mines to do the same job."

"Besides, His Majesty Belial is quite a demon lord. He is powerful, majestic and ancient. Few of the demon lords around him dare to provoke him. If he can hold his own territory, he can protect us."

"If I ran to a weak person and was attacked by other demon lords every day, I might be dragged into the battlefield. Shadow monsters are not good at fighting, and my legs might be cut off."

Batman's hand paused, and then asked again: "Don't you want to be a demon lord yourself? Don't you want to be a leader yourself?"

"Demon lord? Don't be joking." Hexagon muttered in a low voice: "I am a umbral. Which umbrella have you seen can be a demon lord? We don't know any magic at all, and we don't have a strong physique. The last thing we need is umbrals, but that's no use..."

"Just like humans, we are one of the weakest races in hell. Let alone being demon lords, the supervisors have no place for us."

"Because you are weak, so you don't resist?" Batman said to himself.

"Every umbral is like this. They suddenly found themselves in the mine. They awakened their intelligence and were found and taken to work by the overseers..." Liujiao said in a very brisk tone:
"My luck is pretty good. Sometimes, those low-level shadow monsters go crazy and will tear us apart and swallow us, but I have been working here for a long time, and I have never encountered such bad luck."

"But yesterday. That damned lava monster threw a fireball at my feet. He wanted to blow me into the lava. I already knew he didn't like me. I'll touch it when I'm working tomorrow. Fuck him, Fuck Satan, I've had enough of him..."

"Why didn't you fight back?" Batman asked again.

"Fight back? You mean let me beat him? Don't be kidding! Lava Demon is one of the most powerful demons. Even among the supervisors, he is also a very strong type. How could I beat him?"

"If you can't beat him, you may not be able to deal with him..." Batman whispered, and then he said: "Your foot is injured, right? I know some medical techniques, maybe I can help you heal, let me see your foot Wound……"

"what?????"
