Path of light

Chapter 357 358. Rescue 2

The skinny mixed-blood elf miner slave leaned against the rock wall, with a pair of abrupt big eyes on his sunken cheeks, making him look like a large goblin.

The mixed-blood elf slaves here are completely different from the mixed-blood elf slaves in the first mine.

Although Walker is also digging gem mines underground, these mixed elves at least occupy the exit of the mine. As long as they submit the gem mines in accordance with the regulations, they can get the allocated food every day.

Walker looked at the mixed-blood elf mine slave and realized how lucky the mixed-blood elves in the first mine were.

The mining pickaxe was not very big and could be held with one hand and waved. The mixed-blood elf mining slave held the mining pickaxe across his chest.

Seeing a female elf wearing silver armor walking up to him, her body seemed to be exuding a layer of mysterious moonlight. He looked at the plump chest infatuatedly, and his throat couldn't help but pull up and down.

The mixed-blood elf mine slave took half a step back in shame. He even dared not look directly into Mu Lin's eyes.

Mu Lin held her helmet with one hand, looking at the mixed-blood elf who had been tortured to the point where he was almost human-like, and said in a soft voice:

"I am Mulin, a mixed-blood elf living on the Pagisto Plateau. We have driven away the mine owner above, and now we are trying to rescue the fellow elves below the mine. Are you willing to help us?"

"Of course! Are you half-blood elves from the Pagisto Plateau?"

The mixed-blood elf miner was a little excited, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.

"Yes, we plan to rescue you from the mine!" Mu Lin said, then looked around the mine and asked doubtfully: "Is there only you here? Where are the other mixed elves?"

"They are all in this area. We will be very scattered when we mine. This is my work area. This area is quite big..." The mixed-blood elf mining slave pointed to the mine in front and introduced.

"Each mixed-blood elf mine slave has his own mine. We need to dig out more than five pieces of gemstones every day in order to get a bite to eat."

After the mixed-blood elf mine slave finished speaking, he reached out and pried off the gemstone from the stone wall, and put it into the linen pocket on his waist very skillfully.

Apart from a piece of crotch cloth, he only had a cloth bag slung across his chest, which he had just hidden behind his back, probably because he was worried that Mu Lin would take away the fruits of his hard work for a day.

Now that I know that people like Mu Lin are here to help them, I feel less wary.

Seeing the mixed-blood elf mine slave put down his guard, Roy walked out from behind Mu Lin and asked him:

"Where do you usually go to get food?"

The mixed-blood elf mine slave stared at Roy's face and hesitated before saying:

"Usually we go to the Dark Moon Elves in exchange for food. If we are lucky, we can get fresh fruits. Occasionally, we use the linen cloth, mining picks and chisels we have saved to exchange for food with the gray dwarves. There are only mushrooms there. Dried and moss biscuits, those things are not delicious and may even be poisonous."

With that said, the mixed-blood elf mine slave took out half a piece of cake from his cloth pocket, which was only half the size of a palm.

Roy leaned over and took a look. It was actually made of moss pressed into a cake shape and then dried.

Unexpectedly, when these mixed elves were starving, they would even eat the moss in the cave...

Roy took out a square-printed elf cookie from his magic belt bag and handed it to the poor mixed-blood elf mine slave.

The mixed-blood elf mine slave was a little shy and hesitated to reach out. He rubbed his dirty hands on his dark legs twice before taking the exquisite elf biscuit and stuffing it into it eagerly. In his mouth, he chewed hard and said vaguely:

"I can't even remember how many years it's been since I had such good elf cookies."

After swallowing the elf biscuits, he took out a small pitcher from a depression in the rock wall and took a sip of water.

Roy asked him: "Can you accompany us to find other mixed elves? I'm not very familiar with this mine!"

The mixed-blood elf mine slave agreed happily: "Of course, I also want to go back and tell everyone the good news. Come with me."

"You really want to rescue us?"

The mixed-blood elf mining slave was walking at the front of the team, holding a mining pick in one hand and a weak lantern in the other, and asked Roy.

Roy nodded and asked him, "How did you get caught here?"

The mixed-blood elf mine slave immediately showed a look of resentment on his face and said:

"I originally lived in Padstow City and made a living by doing some carpentry work. You should know that the most numerous tree houses in Padstow City are the tree houses on the canopy. I relied on these tree houses to make some scattered small things. live."

"I remember that day I was repairing the windows of a tree house in an apple orchard in the suburbs. I came home a little late and was knocked unconscious outside the apple orchard. When I woke up, I was lying in the wooden cage of the carriage. It took many days before I was sent here... My wife probably doesn't know that I am being held here."

Roy asked: "My name is Roy, I still don't know what your name is?"

"Glen, my family lives at No. 63 Qingju Street, District 2, Padstow City." The mixed-blood elf miner slave quickly said his name and address.

He seems to have lived in the mine for many years and is very familiar with the mine. He almost doesn't need to identify the intersection of the cave, and just drills in and out casually...

…

Although he is as skinny as a stick, he walks very fast when walking through the mine...

The mines are like a spider web, extending in all directions.

No matter which road it was, it was like the throat of a huge abyss. Roy was even a little lucky that they could meet Grant.

If they are allowed to wander around here, they might get lost.

Perhaps because of eating a piece of elf biscuit, the color on Grant's face disappeared a little, and his abrupt eyes became a little brighter.

He led everyone through a winding cave. After several twists and turns, they walked for about two-quarters of an hour before arriving at a natural cave filled with stalactites. Unexpectedly, the mine was connected to a natural cave. Cave.

When he walked here, Roy also met a few mixed-blood elf mining slaves along the way, and chatted with them for a few words, which was almost the same as what Grant said...

Grant pointed to the mine in front and introduced to Roy and Mulin: "This is our underground camp. The stalactites here can collect clear water from the rock walls. Some moss grows on some of the surrounding stone platforms, so it is We use it as a campground.”

After turning around a few stalactites, Roy finally saw beds made of dry moss on some stone platforms, and there was even a rag nailed to the stone wall on one side.

Many beds are almost connected together, and there is no cover in the cave. Only occasionally you can see a moon stone inlaid on a stone wall. It is these small moon stones that provide a weak light to this natural cave. of light.

Entering the camp, Roy found that there were actually many mixed-blood elves in the camp. Some old mixed-blood elves were huddled on the stone bed. When they heard the footsteps, they opened their eyes and looked towards Roy.

In addition to a few old mixed-blood elves, Roy actually saw a mixed-blood elf child. He carefully hid behind an old elf and looked over curiously with wide eyes.

Roy really didn't expect that this group of mixed-blood elves could reproduce the next generation under such difficult conditions.

There is a strong atmosphere of life in the camp. In addition to some stone platforms against the walls, you can also see red crystal ores accumulated under some stone platforms. Some dried mushrooms and moss cakes are hung on the rock walls next to many stone beds. .

Walker, who came out of the No. 1 mine, said to Mu Lin: "This place is completely different from ours. Although the conditions here are much more difficult than ours, there is more life here."

When some mixed-blood elf miners saw Grant coming with a group of fully armed elves, they picked up their mining picks and surrounded them.

Roy and the others took off their helmets one after another. Roy let a ball of 'sacred light' float above his head, which immediately illuminated a large area. Mulin and Walker walking in front were half-blood elves, and Roy was half-blood. The elves, Captain Kepler and the two archers are Silver Moon elves...

They were all exposed to low light. They were all wearing exquisite armor and holding exquisite magic weapons...

The mixed-blood elf mining slave was a little nervous, but he gritted his teeth and came forward, blocking the group of people. Then a mixed-blood elf mining slave recognized Grant and immediately walked up to Grant and asked:

"Glen, who are they?"

Grant quickly introduced to the group of skinny mixed-blood elf mining slaves who came over:

"They came from the ground and said they could rescue us?"

A dark-faced mixed-blood elf mining slave walked out of the crowd, looked at Roy and his group with some suspicion, and said questioningly:

"Can you defeat those dark moon elves over there?"

When Mu Lin saw someone questioning their group, she immediately said to everyone:

"That's where we rushed over. I'm Mu Lin..."

Before Mu Lin could finish introducing herself, a mixed elf shouted in the crowd: "Mu Lin, it's really you!"

As he spoke, a skinny mixed-blood elf mining slave squeezed out from the crowd. He looked younger, his face had not been eroded by the dark rocks, and they could still see their delicate appearance.

This young mixed-blood elf knows Mu Lin...

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then Mu Lin began to ask the mixed-blood elf about the situation in the mine.

Sure enough, the mixed-blood elves in the second mine were the weakest. The exit of the mine had been occupied by the Dark Moon elves for several years, while the gray dwarves hid deep in the cave and rarely showed up. They didn't need the shaft. The food distributed and the ore mined will not be delivered to the Dark Moon Elf prisoners...

Only the mixed-blood elves will pay ore on time every day in exchange for a small amount of food...

"Mu Lin, why are you here? Were you captured by them? Or did you join them?" the mixed elf rushed over and asked.

Mu Lin looked a little embarrassed and felt uncomfortable being looked down upon. She said:

"No, we have recaptured this mine and are now preparing to rescue all the mixed-blood leaders underground!"

Looking at Vitas' dirty face, Mu Lin said happily:

“Vitas, I didn’t expect you to be hiding in this mine!

That day when you went hunting and didn't return on time, we guessed that you must have been captured by the elf headhunters! "

Mu Lin found her old friend, and of course she was very kind.

"How's it going at home? Have those plateau headhunters arrested you?" Vitas held Mu Lin's arm in his arms and asked eagerly.

"Almost all our villages have been wiped out by plateau headhunters, and now we can only hide in the mountains." Mu Lin introduced in a low voice.

I heard that a group of elves came from outside to rescue everyone, and the mixed-blood elves in the camp ran out one after another.

Surrounded by these mixed elves, Roy and his party came to a wider place, and everyone began to communicate in detail.

Hearing Roy say that he could take everyone out of here, the mixed elves seemed very excited.

Later, Roy learned about the miserable situation of the mixed-blood elven slaves in the second mine. Not only were their food controlled by the Dark Moon elves, but they were also oppressed by the gray dwarves.

These gray dwarf bandits live at the bottom of the mine. They don't need the food brought in from the mine mouth at all, so they are not restricted by food. The gray dwarves will occasionally rush up from the underground caves to plunder the half-blood elves from the mine slaves. of high quality gemstones.

It’s not that the oppressed mixed-blood elves didn’t try to resist, but unfortunately, even if they, the mixed-blood elven mining slaves, got together, they couldn’t defeat the Dark Moon Elf prisoners, let alone the gray dwarves…

Having been oppressed by gray dwarves and dark moon elves for many years, these mixed-blood elven mining slaves gradually lost the courage to resist.

Unexpectedly, in the underground mine of the second mine, neither the Dark Moon Elves nor the gray dwarves needed to mine. They only needed to get the prepared gem mines from the mixed elves, and they could exchange for what they needed.

"Roy, what should we do?" Mu Lin turned to Roy and asked.

"Get them out first..." Roy had a headache. Once these mixed-blood elf slaves were rescued, the mine might not be able to operate normally...

But this matter still requires gathering all the mixed-blood elf mining slaves back.

While they were talking, some mixed-blood elf miner slaves had already run to inform other companions, asking everyone to return to the underground camp quickly.

One after another, half-blood elf miner slaves returned to the camp, and almost all of them were as thin as a stick.

Roy thought to himself: No wonder after waiting for so many days, no mixed elf miner slave climbed out of the shaft. No one expected that they would be squeezed so miserably by the Dark Moon Elves and Gray Dwarves...

Roy and his party waited in the camp for most of the day, and the half-blood elven slaves who were digging gemstones in the mine outside were called back.

What Roy didn't expect was that there were more than 500 mixed-blood elf slaves underground in this mine. Everyone gathered in the camp, and the dark cave was filled with people...
