Path of light

Chapter 381 382. Under the Mine

Roy walked into this mine tunnel that was completely separated from the mine veins. Inside the mine tunnel was a group of skinny mixed-blood elf miners. They only wore a symbolic piece of linen around their waists and sat barefoot in the mine cave. Inside, there was a badly worn mining pick next to him.

The mixed-blood elf warriors distributed the food they carried to these compatriots, and a large group of mixed-blood elf miners soon gathered around them.

The food they carried was limited and was quickly distributed.

When those mixed-blood elf miners saw that they could not get food, their eyes lost their sparkle, and they sat back to their seats with empty eyes, trying to save their energy as much as possible...

Roy ignored the group of zombie-like mixed-blood elf miners and continued walking along the mine tunnel with the gray dwarf bandit.

This is a mine tunnel that continues to extend upward. At the beginning, the upward slope of the mine tunnel is still very gentle. Gradually, the slope begins to increase, and it continues to extend upward.

There are at least hundreds of mixed-blood elf miners gathered in this mine tunnel. The mixed-blood elf miners basically live in this mine...

The mine tunnel has also begun to take shape.

Roy had already figured out that this should be an escape route.

…

Although Roy only took over three mines, each mine had hundreds of mixed-blood elf slaves.

The total number of mixed-blood elf slaves in the three mines is over a thousand. You must know that there are at least a dozen mines, large and small, on the Pagisto Plateau.

This shows how rampant the slave trade industry is in the Partington plane. It is initially estimated that at least thousands of mixed elves have been trafficked to the mines on the Pagisto Plateau. Of course, this does not include those transported to Roland by slave ships. The elf slaves of the mainland.

After walking up the cave for nearly twenty floors, Roy saw the end of the mine that was constantly twisting and turning upwards.

At this time, the mine has reached the lapis lazuli rock formation. The crude mining picks in the hands of the mixed-blood elf miners can no longer dig the rock formations here. In addition, these mixed-blood elf mining slaves have little physical strength, so the progress can be said to be extremely slow.

And when he got here, Roy found that the air in the mine was quite turbid.

Several mixed-blood elf mining slaves are at the end of the mine, using mining picks to dig into a raised lapis lazuli rock...

There were several mixed-blood elven miners leaning against the rock wall of the mine. They seemed to be resting, but their breathing was very weak. Roy walked over and found these half-blood elven miners dying on the rocky ground.

When the mixed-blood elf miners saw the gray dwarf bandit next to Roy, they were too frightened to come close, and they all looked like they were hesitant to speak.

Roy squatted down and put his hand on the artery in the neck of the mixed-blood elf miner. The pulse was a little too weak.

Looking at his thin body, which was almost as thin as a skeleton, Roy took out a potion bottle from his magic waist bag, which contained some pure sap of the Tree of Life.

He pulled out the cork of the bottle, poured a drop of tree of life sap into the water bag, and then shook the water bag vigorously to shake the diluted tree of life juice inside evenly. Then he pulled out the cork of the bottle again and poured out the tree of life inside. Feed the juice to these unconscious mixed-blood elf miners.

This life sap seemed to be very effective. After drinking it, the unconscious mixed-blood elves gained some consciousness.

Several mixed-blood elf miners who were mining in the mine also came over. Roy raised his head and said to them:

"I'm here to rescue you. You don't have to mine here anymore. Come with me and leave this place!"

A group of mixed-blood elf miners looked puzzled. They didn't quite believe what Roy said.

Some mixed elves' eyes fell on the gray dwarf beside Roy, and they discovered that the gray dwarf's hands behind his back were actually tied with ropes. Several more fully armed mixed elves warriors appeared behind him. I completely believe what Roy said.

Roy led a group of mixed-blood elves down the mine tunnel. Many of the mixed-blood elves were supporting each other. Even though they were so weak, they did not forget to bring out those heavy mining pickaxes, as if the mining pickaxes had become theirs. part of life.

"A lot of elves must have died when this cave was dug, right?" Roy sighed at the twists and turns of the cave, which was twenty stories high.

"Um."

A mixed-blood elf miner pointed to the occasional hole blocked by gravel next to the cave, and said dullly: "If you die, bury it in it..."

Only then did Roy realize that the dead mixed-blood elf mine slaves could only be buried casually in abandoned mines.

Digging such a cave will inevitably produce a lot of waste rocks, so Roy asked curiously:

"How do you deal with the excavated stones?"

The mixed-blood elf miner said: "It must be transported out little by little, otherwise, the excavated stones will block the mine behind."

After walking down for a while, almost all the mixed-blood elf miners we met on the road followed Roy down. The mixed-blood elves who could barely walk helped each other, and those who couldn't walk at all found someone to carry them on their backs.

By the time Roy returned to the mine from the failed escape tunnel, he was followed by at least four hundred mixed-blood elf miners.

Roy brought all the mixed-blood elves to the entrance of the shaft. The Dark Moon Elf warriors were still chasing gray dwarves everywhere in the mine. There were also a very large number of gray dwarves in this mine, almost two hundred people.

The hanging box can only pull up to thirty mixed elves at a time, so there are still a large number of mixed elves miners waiting at the entrance of the shaft.

They seemed to be frightened by the gray dwarves. Even if they saw the gray dwarves being chained to the rock wall, they still did not dare to approach them...

The mixed-blood elf warrior gave all the food he carried to these compatriots who were almost starving to death, and then followed the dark moon elf warrior into the mine to search for the gray dwarves.

Only then did Roy remember the Dark Moon Elf prisoners in the mine, so he asked these mixed-blood elf miners:

"Where are the Dark Moon elves in the mine?"

After questioning several mixed-blood elf miners, I learned from an informed elf that the gray dwarf bandits drove the dark moon elves to the other side of the mine and asked them to exchange ore for food.

Looking at this group of mixed elves eating elf biscuits and fruits, Roy could only sigh softly.

He actually regretted not coming to the third mine earlier.

This group of mixed-blood elf miners should be rescued as soon as possible...

…

The soldiers of the Assassin Squad were hunting down gray dwarf bandits in the mines. Although they only had twenty members, under the leadership of Timothy and Tennyson, they were simply plundering gray dwarf bandits like headless flies. Dwarf bandit.

And soon they found more than a hundred fellow Dark Moon elves in the mine. They had their own territory in this mine.

The life of the Dark Moon Elf miners is obviously better than that of the mixed-blood Elf miners, but they are also short of food and clothing. Especially after the mine owner of the third mine ran away, the gray dwarves almost cut off all contact with the Dark Moon Elf. food supply.

Being able to survive so many days was all thanks to some food reserves and moss in the mines that I usually saved.

They only had a few mining picks in their hands and could not defeat these gray dwarves at all, so they were driven into a corner under the mine by the gray dwarves.

When they heard that most of the gray dwarves in the mines had been captured, the group of Dark Moon elves celebrated with high-fives...

The number of gray dwarf bandits captured by the Dark Moon Elf warriors has risen to more than 170, but the gray dwarf leader has not been seen yet.

Some gray dwarf bandits also tried to resist in the mines, but this group of dark moon elf warriors had rich combat experience. Almost all gray dwarves who tried to resist were killed by the dark moon elf warriors, and soon the remaining gray dwarves The robbers gave up resistance, and there was no way they could escape in this mine...

The gray dwarf bandits were all strong and strong. They were defeated by the sophisticated equipment in the hands of the elven warriors. Now they were tied tightly with ropes. They squatted in the cave in humiliation, burying their heads between their knees, for fear of being killed by the elven miners. If you recognize him, you will get another beating.

…

Roy was treating an injured mixed-blood elf warrior when he saw Captain Timothy running back quickly, his body filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Boss, we have found the hiding place of the gray dwarf leader. There are more than a dozen gray dwarves hiding in a mine. They have blocked the entrance of the cave with ore. We need manpower to open the cave." Captain Timothy said to him. Roy said.

"Take me to see it."

Roy covered the wound with a bandage, stood up and said.

Roy led a group of mixed-blood elves and followed Captain Timothy to the interruption of a mine. The mine that was supposed to continue extending forward was completely blocked by a large amount of abandoned ore.

Several Dark Moon elves are trying to clear this passage.

Captain Timothy pointed to the collapsed mine and said, "Those gray dwarf bandits sealed themselves inside."

Roy asked Captain Timothy to find a Dark Moon Elf miner who was familiar with the distribution of mines in the mine, and asked him:

"Where does this mine lead to? How long is it inside?"

The dark moon elf miner answered without thinking:

"This mine is a dead end and is not connected to other mines. It is almost two hundred meters inside. Because it has a water source, it has become a place for gray dwarves to cultivate mushrooms. This section of the mine is not a shale rock formation. Landslides often occur, and the gray dwarves used some supports to prop up a passage. They must have destroyed those supports, and the gravel that fell from above blocked the mine tunnel. If they want to reopen this place, I'm afraid need some time."

The gray dwarf leader was sealed in this mine, so Roy was not in a hurry to open the mine.

Because there were too many things to deal with in front of him, he ordered Captain Timothy:

"There aren't that many manpower to clean the mine tunnels at the moment, so let's let people take turns guarding here and pay attention to the movements in the surrounding mines to prevent them from digging through other mine tunnels and escaping."

"Got it, boss!"

Captain Timothy arranged for two dark moon elf warriors to guard here, and then led the dark moon elf warriors to continue hunting down the gray dwarves in the mine.
