Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Pie ran away when he arrived at the entrance of the cave. Although he likes to follow his master, Zhou Lingke can feel his aversion to places such as underground and caves, and he also knows that from here he will pass to a place with a lot of water. On the contrary, it was even more annoying there, so Zhou Lingke let it play by itself.

Nature is sometimes very magical, such as this underground cave, or underground river.

This is the entrance they entered. Walking about 50 meters inward, it is a relatively huge cave. It is clean and there are no strange-shaped stalactites. There are man-made torches at a certain distance.There are six forks in the road here, but even if no one is leading the way, you will not admit it wrong, because even Zhou Lingke can clearly smell the smell like a cesspit from one of the caves.Sure enough, this is the road, continue to walk, about 5 minutes later, with the help of the dim yellow light flickering from the torch, it was really a shocking scene.

But of course, what shocked me was not the size of the slave ship or the port, but that everything was underground, and the port was obviously formed naturally.And those boats are shaking in the water waves, they don't have sails, they only have weird bows that seem to be inhabited by monsters, and I don't know if it's the sound of the wind or the groans of people coming from deeper in the darkness, making all this seem unreal Like ghosts.Zhou Lingke couldn't see the pizza because the boat blocked the river, and the big guy couldn't get through.However, he could feel that it was very happy, so he let it go temporarily.

Plus, it stinks like hell.And the smell is definitely not natural.The underground river is wide enough to sail a boat, but it is underground after all. So many people have stayed here for a winter, and the natural circulation mechanism here is not enough to "cycle" so much excrement.

"Be careful when boarding the boat, cough! Bah!" The slave trader leading the way spit thick phlegm, "There is something in the water, it will jump out and bite people's heels. Cough! Bah! If it bites, it will kill people." Drag it into the water."

As if to confirm what he said, suddenly there was a huge sound of splashing water, and there was indeed something in the water, but when people shone it with torches, there were only ripples left on the water surface, and no one saw what it was.The slave trader had previously confessed that he left two or three men on each ship, in order to look after the slaves and let them board now, so at this time the cable was thrown from one of the ships.But of course the first to board the ship would not be a flesh-footed man like Zhou Lingke, but a powerful warrior.

They moved up the cable nimbly, and the sound of water sounded again. This time, everyone could clearly see the appearance of those underwater creatures.They look a lot like loaches, but they have almost human arms, no scales, almost transparent bodies, no eyes, only a horribly big mouth.I don't know how they found their prey, but as soon as the soldiers climbed up the cables, these guys rushed to jump out of the water. The sound of "clicking" teeth colliding made people shudder. This place is more like It's a ghost.

"Whoosh!" A soldier couldn't help but shot an arrow.

"Don't—!" The slave trader stopped a step too late, "Back quickly! Back!" But his warning was not too late. The soldiers on board disappeared and climbed up the cable as quickly as possible, and everyone on the dock also Back off faster.When the shot dead unknown creature fell into the water, sleep instantly felt like a boiling pot, and countless unknown creatures surged up, and only these entangled creatures could be seen, they were jumping, struggling and biting the corpse of their companions, And fighting each other for this, more unknown creatures began to bleed, torn apart, and devoured.For a moment, one couldn't even see the water, just the writhing, entangled bodies of these things.They were even crowded onto the docks, and the soldiers could only continue to back away amidst the slavers' shouts of "Leave them alone!"

It was not until about an hour later that the water calmed down again.

The soldiers who had already boarded the boat waved down, signaling that it was all right.More people began to board the boat one after another.

Before Zhou Lingke boarded the ship, he felt that these slave ships were a bit small. It was unimaginable that a ship could hold more than 200 slaves, plus the crew and provisions.It wasn't until he boarded the ship that he discovered the peculiarity of these ships—the ship had a huge belly, not counting the deck, and a ship had eight floors.That is to say, their underwater parts are much larger than those above the water surface.This allows them to hold many times more than it looks, but also means poor air circulation and a worse environment.

Zhou Lingke was the last to enter the ship, after the others had checked the entire ship and made sure there was no danger.When Zhou Lingke was able to walk down, he could no longer smell the smell. It wasn't that the smell dissipated, but that his nose had adapted. I really didn't know whether to feel sad or lucky for the adaptability of the human body.

This is not a cruise ship, there are no spacious and elegant rooms, everything is designed to leave as much room as possible for cargo and provisions.So there are no bedrooms for the crew, just a space on the ground floor filled with shakers.The captain's cabin is slightly better, but it's just a cubicle with a bed and a locker.There are four upper and lower passages, but they are very narrow and can only accommodate one person at a time and are very slippery. Several thicker soldiers almost slipped down.The living environment on the second floor is better than that on the first floor. It is full of compartments, even larger than the captain’s cabin, because the people who live here are all precious goods. When Zhou Lingke went down, they were really released one by one. registration.Zhou Lingke wanted to try to find out if there was a kitten, but found that he seemed to be a little messy, so he had to step aside.Most of these high-ranking slaves are docile, but also very numb, and have no special reaction to the sudden change of a group of masters.There were even a few soldiers who wanted to seduce and register, but they were slapped several times by these soldiers who entered the combat state and didn't know what pity was...

Zhou Lingke was about to go down to the third floor, but Xia En, who went down to explore the way one step earlier, had already run back with an ugly face.

"You don't want to go down."

"what?"

"Come up quickly."

Although there was no explanation, Zhou Lingke followed Xia En honestly and walked directly to the deck.As soon as he stood on the deck, Xia En turned his head and started to vomit, which startled Zhou Lingke.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen people to run up, also standing side by side with Shane and vomiting.

If only Xia En is vomiting, it is just a little abnormal - Zhou Lingke is sure that Xia En is not seasick.But now besides Xia En, there are so many elite soldiers accompanying him, which is too abnormal.

"What happened...?" Zhou Lingke asked, Xia En's vomiting was just a little bit, but when he heard Zhou Lingke's question, he probably remembered something, so he started to vomit again, "It's okay! It's okay! Relax, don't think about anything .” They started chasing yesterday and now, they haven’t eaten much, and now Xia En is throwing up stomach acid.

After that, several people came up to join the vomiting team one after another. It was Sai Lun who gave the order to send these people whose feet were limp from vomiting, as well as Zhou Lingke, back to the shore.At the same time, more slaves came out of the slave ship. They were all wearing fetters strung together. There were sub-humans and ordinary people. They were extremely dirty. The men were completely nuts, and the women only had a few rags to hide their shame. , the oldest of them will not be more than 30 years old, with the same slow steps and dull and cloudy eyes.There are many black cloth hoods that have been prepared on board, because these slaves are different from those slave traders or high-end goods, they have not seen light for a long time, if they go out like this, many of them will be blinded by the sun, it seems The slave traders were indeed very experienced.

The people who left the ship temporarily became the guards of these slaves, and they and some of the captives were sent back to the town.

Pizza was also called out of the cave, and crawled out of the hole it dug, but Zhou Lingke didn't sit on its back when he returned.Instead, in a car with Sean.After the car ran for more than ten minutes, Zhou Lingke's inactive nose came back to life, and he could smell the air again.

"The oven...that's like an oven down there."

"In the boat?"

"Yes." Xia En took a deep breath, his face was still not very good-looking, but he had obviously recovered his composure, "It's just the kind with no fire and only partitions left. Each ship has three partitions. But it is still very hot and stuffy. There is an unimaginable temperature difference between the outside and inside of the boat, after all, those people are emitting heat." Xia En smiled, but the smile was uglier than crying, "They are like locked in Animals in the cages eat, drink, and scatter in the small compartment that can turn around at most, and the feces and urine fall on the people below, and then fall into the small groove separated at the bottom..."

Zhou Lingke covered his mouth, just imagining this scene was enough to make him sick: "You mean, the people on the lower six floors are all slaves transported like this?"

"Only three, four, five and six floors are what they call 'warehouses', and the bottom two floors are the kitchen and the place where food and water are stored."

"Did they store food and drinking water under that...?" Zhou Lingke couldn't even find an adjective to describe it.

"..." Xia En licked his lips. He was thinking about whether to tell Zhou Lingke about something, but finally he said that Zhou Lingke was not that weak, and he didn't need to hide it. "About food, we found a lot of fresh food just now. Salted meat."

"They hunt? God!" Zhou Lingke's eyes widened suddenly, and he was trembling a little, but not because of fear, but because of the excessive tension of his muscles, "It's not what I thought, is it?"

"I think it's what you think." Xia En nodded, "It's the meat of those townspeople."

"Ouch!" Not long ago, Zhou Lingke had seen human corpses sprinkled with salt, but that was for better burial after winter.He was there, not disgusted, even dignified.But now, Zhou Lingke stuck his head out of the car and started to vomit.

As one of the leaders of the town, Martin said that those smuggled slave owners would not treat the escaped townspeople kindly.He should have been in contact with these extremely evil people, and even knew them.Zhou Lingke also thought along this line of thinking, but what they could think of was that at most the townspeople who just attached themselves to were caught and sold as slaves. This is what he or even many people saw after seeing the real situation. The extreme imaginable for "bad" in my mind!

So even if they didn't catch up with the slave traders, they would still find those heads.Because those people were not slaughtered, but massacred!Otherwise, even other battle-tested soldiers can't bear it. They have seen the battlefield, but the food warehouse is full of human flesh?

Before Xia En and Zhou Lingke, the wounded from that battle had been sent back.After the slave trader was caught, someone came back to deliver the letter.So they were not the first batch to come back, and McCree, who stayed behind, was not ignorant.Many of the collapsed tents have been rebuilt, and the ground has not been cleaned up. It can even be seen that workers on the construction site have started to build houses again.

"I really want to kill them." Zhou Lingke saw those slave traders when he got out of the car. He was vomiting halfway through the journey, didn't eat anything, and only drank a little water.When he first saw the human head, Zhou Lingke's understanding of these slave traders was perverts, scum, and bastards among human beings.His impulse to kill them was out of righteous indignation, but if he were to do it, he would probably still be a little hesitant.But now, those who walk on two feet can't even reach the beasts. They, no, they are a group of monsters that should disappear from the ground!

Whether it was treating those slaves who were being escorted or those townspeople who were being slaughtered, what would do this kind of thing to its own kind?

"Believe me, I think the same as you. But Mantan will be in trouble."

"Yes."

Zhou Lingke and Xia En looked away from the man, both of them felt a sense of frustration at the same time, because there was nothing they could do.Even if it was a walking humanoid garbage, they couldn't sweep it away.

Besides, what's the use of killing those in front of you?In the final analysis, they are just some lackeys who deliver the goods. Who knows where the real big bosses are lying on the warm side of the road, enjoying fine wine and food.

"James...he told me that people can eat people. Although I saw it in that small town when I was looking for food, but...fortunately, I met Old John, and then we came to Mangtan." Zhou Lingke hugged Sean lived.They found a lot of bad things in Mang Tan, but in comparison?This place is heaven!

After that day, with regard to the town and the smuggling channel, the civil affairs were handled by McCree, and the military affairs were accepted by Sai Lun.It can be regarded as an escape, escape from those slaves, slave ships, and slave traders.The last thing they did about it was to find the kitten - because the kid was so cute and pretty that the slave trader didn't kill him as he would have killed another kid who had run away, but put the kitten anew. He went back to the boat.Now this child is also one of the trophies, Zhou Lingke hopes to count him in his [-]% income.

The child was found, and several other older slaves were hired to take care of him.Zhou Lingke and Xia En completely put this matter aside, and began to focus on the magic power tower.
