Path of light

Chapter 356 357. Rescue

Roy didn't expect that Mu Lin was so good at knocking out the Dark Moon Elf prisoner hiding in the dark...

He looked at the mixed elf swordswoman with some surprise, wondering if he had looked down on her too much before.

…

In fact, what Roy didn't know was that Mu Lin herself didn't expect to succeed with one blow. Her hand was holding the hilt of the sword tightly, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She just wanted to restrain the Dark Moon Elf prisoner, but ended up knocking the prisoner unconscious with the hilt of her sword...

Now she was standing there, her right arm holding her shoulder shaking slightly.

At this time, she looked at the sacred glimmer above her head and thought: It was this faint light that illuminated the figure of the Dark Moon Elf prisoner.

…

The Dark Moon Elf didn't understand how the other party found him until he fainted.

The blood of the Dark Moon Elf flows in his body, and even in the sunlight, his figure can be infinitely blurred, like a blurry shadow.

The Dark Moon Elves' talent for 'stealth' makes them born assassins...

If they hide in the shadows and hide their bodies, they can definitely achieve complete transparency.

The room at the bottom of the shaft was almost completely dark. Even if the other party lit up a weak light ball, it would never reveal their hiding position.

But this kind of thing happened, and the price was to be knocked unconscious...

The battle was over in an instant.

…

Captain Kepler didn't notice anything was wrong. The two archers behind him walked up quickly, took out ropes from their waists, tied up the two Dark Moon Elf prisoners tightly, and dragged them to the corner.

Mu Lin touched the exit of the shaft and saw a dark cave in front of her. The walls of the cave were full of traces left by the excavation.

Captain Kepler stood opposite Mu Lin, holding his iris shield, guarding the other side of the cave entrance, and cautiously peered out.

It's just that it's too dark in the mine and I can't see anything at all.

Walker followed behind and explained in a low voice: "This is usually how it is in the mine. Each of us has a lantern with a wick made of moonstone in our hands to prevent us from hitting the wall in the mine..."

When the two archers caught up, Captain Kepler took the lead and walked into the mine tunnel holding his shield.

This mine tunnel is only about one person tall. It is not depressing, but it is a bit cold. The width of the mine tunnel is less than 1.5 meters, and there are uneven bluestones everywhere...

Just as Roy was about to speak, he heard subtle footsteps in front of him. He almost immediately extinguished the sacred light. Two seconds later, a dim light suddenly lit up at the corner in front. Apparently someone was coming. Come this way.

And the other person is not alone yet, they are talking while walking.

"Nila, what do you mean by the ladder hanging down the shaft?"

"Who knows, if we can always control the distribution of materials in the shaft and live hiding here, there will be nothing wrong with it..."

The speaker was obviously a female elf, and their voice was a little dry.

The conversation between the two people turned from soft to loud, and they were about to collide.

Just when everyone was nervously preparing to take action, the two of them did not walk into the shaft, but turned around and walked into the cave next to them, and then a beam of light came out from the entrance of the cave.

Captain Kepler stepped lightly and continued walking forward.

The shaft was not full of Dark Moon Elf prisoners as Roy had guessed, but instead seemed a little deserted.

Walking in this mine, Roy found that there were stone rooms on both sides of the mine. Although these were a bit small, each room had a stone bed for resting. The rooms were only a few square meters and there were no doors. .

The quieter it was, the worse Roy's premonition was.

Doesn't this prove that these Dark Moon Elf prisoners have firmly controlled the shaft exit...

Captain Kepler led everyone to avoid the cave entrance and continued to explore inside.

After walking another twenty meters, Walker, who had been hiding in the team and refusing to make a sound, took a deep breath and walked to the front to remind Mu Lin: "Captain, someone is coming in front again, and I smell their anger."

Captain Kepler quickly lowered his center of gravity, bent his knees and walked forward.

Several Dark Moon Elf prisoners appeared in the mine tunnel ahead. The leader of the Dark Moon Elf was holding a lantern just like Walker described. His upper body was naked and his lower body was wearing a pair of shorts. His hair was messy, and the light in the lantern was The light was just enough to reflect his face, and his skin was gray. He was obviously another Dark Moon Elf.

The several elf prisoners following him were also dressed in this way, with their upper bodies naked and a scimitar hanging from their waists.

Captain Kepler leaned his body tightly against the wall, trying to avoid those guys as much as possible.

But the Dark Moon elves who were walking at the front suddenly took two sharp breaths and immediately looked towards Roy. The lantern in their hands also turned into a ball of light and hit it directly.

Although this lantern made of moonstone only had weak fluorescence, it was enough to illuminate Captain Kepler's body.

In particular, he was wearing silver light armor, which actually reflected light under the light, instantly reflecting the outline of his body.

The two sides did not expect to collide with each other like this...

Captain Kepler saw that he was exposed and no longer covered up. He raised his shield and rushed forward.

The shield in his hand hit the Dark Moon Elf prisoner at the front, but the dirty Dark Moon Elf prisoner was not afraid at all. He held a scimitar in his hand, barely showing any defensive posture, and directly Stab Captain Kepler.

It was a completely desperate fighting style, with no communication between the two sides.

Captain Kepler held up his shield to block the lantern thrown by the opponent, and thrust out the sword at the same time.

The long sword of the Dark Moon Elf prisoner opposite was blocked by Captain Kepler's shield, but the long sword in his hand pierced the man's shoulder.

Unexpectedly, the Dark Moon Elf prisoner hugged Captain Kepler desperately, with a cruel smile on his face. He adjusted the long sword in his hand and pointed it towards Captain Kepler's abdomen.

A faint shadow appeared behind him, and it turned out to be the shadow of a night saber lying on the ground...

The eyes of these Dark Moon Elf prisoners are as murderous as the night sabers, and they are fierce and cruel.

Unfortunately, the long sword in his hand was blocked by a thick book before it touched Captain Kepler's abdomen. Then Captain Kepler punched the opponent's Dark Moon Elf on the chin.

The Dark Moon Elf prisoners behind them also rushed up one after another, and Mu Lin also rushed up with a long sword in hand.

The Dark Moon elves opposite are all powerful assassins. They have tattered weapons hanging on their waists and no armor on their bodies...

Captain Kepler immediately received several severe blows.

It's a pity that these broken weapons are completely unable to penetrate Captain Kepler's armor.

Holding the sacred scepter in his hand, Roy followed Kepler and knocked back a Dark Moon Elf prisoner who rushed up.

The sound of the chiming of gold and iron spread far and wide in the cave, and was extremely clear.

These sounds were like stirring up a hornet's nest, and some Dark Moon elves hiding in the caves gathered here.

The Dark Moon Elves only have the crudest weapons and almost no armor...

Roy was a little nervous at first, but he found that these Dark Moon elves did not pose much of a threat at all, so he stood shoulder to shoulder with Captain Kepler in front.

The magic pattern structure on his body lit up with magical halo, and the two daggers touched Roy's armor, and then broke...

Mu Lin took the opportunity to hand out a sword from behind, which happened to hit the man's right arm. The dagger in his hand also fell into the mine.

The two elven archers at the back of the team had their long bows fully drawn. Unfortunately, everyone was fighting together at the moment, and they could not find a suitable opportunity to shoot an arrow.

The Dark Moon Elf prisoners also wanted to take the opportunity to hide in the darkness and disappear. Unfortunately, under the sacred glimmer of light above Roy's head, no Dark Moon Elf could disappear into the darkness...

The biggest trump card of these Dark Moon Elf prisoners was useless in front of Roy, and they didn't wear any armor. Even if they were first-time assassins, it would be useless.

Roy and his team directly knocked down these Dark Moon elves...

After the battle, Captain Kepler showed a confident look in his eyes. He looked at the Dark Moon Elf prisoners pouring out of the cave without any fear.

"I've long heard that these Dark Moon Elf prisoners are extremely vicious guys, but I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable..." Captain Kepler laughed.

Roy leaned next to him, forced a Dark Moon Elf prisoner back, and shouted: "Let's rush in..."

When Captain Kepler heard what Roy said, he stared at the shield and rushed forward.

Mu Lin followed Captain Kepler, stabbing out frequently with the long sword in her hand, causing some Dark Moon elves to fall down frequently...

Roy and Captain Kepler almost worked their way out of the mine more than a hundred meters away.

It wasn't until there were no more Dark Moon elves blocking his way that Roy picked up a fainted Dark Moon Elf from the ground, casually carried it on his shoulders, and followed the temporary team into the depths of the mine.

…

These Dark Moon Elf prisoners watched Roy and others rush into the depths of the cave and did not dare to stop them.

Several Dark Moon elves wanted to catch up, but were stopped by the Dark Moon elves in front.

The underground mines actually extend in all directions, making it a bit like a maze.

The group of Dark Moon Elf prisoners did not catch up. Roy dragged the unconscious Dark Moon Elf prisoner all the way until they turned into a secluded mine tunnel. Captain Kepler stopped and asked everyone Take a break here.

"Roy, you are so strong."

Mu Lin watched Roy carrying a Dark Moon Elf prisoner and walking effortlessly in the cave, and couldn't help but praise him.

Roy quickly replied: "Actually, my strength is very average, but I have the blessing of two magical effects, 'Blessing of Strength' and 'Power of Giant Bear', so I can drag him here..."

The battle just now was the first time several people cooperated.

I didn't expect to be able to break out of the Dark Moon Elf prisoners' blockade...

Everyone is also more confident in fighting underground.

Roy poured some water from the water bag onto the Dark Moon Elf's face, and slapped his cheek hard to wake him up from his coma. Then he leaned directly into his ear and told him:

"Be honest and take us to find the half-blood elves in the mines."

The fainted Dark Moon Elf prisoners woke up and saw Roy's somewhat serious face. They recalled the battle just now and said to Roy:

"You are the newcomers who were thrown in... No, why do you have weapons in your hands... Oops!"

Before the Dark Moon Elf prisoner could finish his question, he was slapped by Roy.

The Dark Moon Elf prisoner quickly begged for mercy: "Don't do it, don't do it, I know where they are hiding, and I can take you there."

Sure enough, he just understood Roy's instructions, but he wanted to make a joke.

Roy pulled him up. The Dark Moon Elf prisoner was still curled up, like a wilted chicken standing in the rain and shivering.

He was worried that Roy would do something again, so he endured the discomfort and led Roy and others inside.

Roy followed the Dark Moon Elf and asked him as he walked:

"Are you Dark Moon Elves guarding the entrance to the shaft now?"

"That's right." The Dark Moon Elf prisoner didn't dare not answer, and then he couldn't help but ask: "Did you climb down the ladder?"

'Snapped'

Roy slapped him on the head, shutting him up immediately.

After walking forward for a while, the cave was still dark, but traces of gem mining could be clearly seen on both sides of the mine. There were still some very poor quality gems left on many stone walls, which had not been mined at all.

After arriving here, the Dark Moon Elf Ball said to Roy:

"This is the area where the mixed-blood elf mining slaves belong. They come to us every day to exchange some ore for supplies, mainly some food. We usually exchange here..."

Roy looked around the mine. Sure enough, the mine was very spacious and the ground was smooth.

But there were no mixed-blood elf miners around.

"Where do they usually mine?" Roy continued to ask.

"It's in this area. You can probably see it if you walk further inside." The Dark Moon Elf prisoner replied.

Roy was not polite to him, and he and Captain Kepler sandwiched him in the middle. The group continued to walk along the mine, and sure enough, there were sounds of drilling into the rock wall one after another from the front.

Roy and Mu Lin looked at each other, and Mu Lin immediately understood Roy's eyes.

Afterwards, Mu Lin walked at the front of the team. It was not until the sound of chiseling the ore became extremely clear that everyone saw a bare-chested mixed-blood elf holding a chisel under the dim light from the mine. Carefully picking at a gemstone on the stone wall.

He felt something strange around him, and turned around to find that Roy and the others were standing aside, watching him dig out the gems on the rock wall.

Roy and his party were wearing exquisite armor and holding weapons in their hands, which shocked the mixed elf.

He let out a scream and tried to escape into the mine.

Mu Lin chased after him and said, "Don't run away yet, we are here to rescue you!"

Mu Lin's voice really made the mixed-blood elf miner stop. He looked at Mu Lin suspiciously and asked with a wary look on his face: "Are you..."
