Chapter 163: Mine Monster

An hour later, under the leadership of a worker, Rollin and Horn stood in front of a cave on the edge of the basin.
The entrance of the cave is not big or small. An adult can just get in. The entrance is full of burnt weeds. Obviously, if Luolin hadn't burned the forest and reclaimed wasteland, the cave would have been completely covered by weeds, which is basically impossible. be found.
"Lord, look." Horn talked with the torch in his hand into the entrance of the cave, illuminating the situation near the entrance. I don't know when it will start, Horn is no longer named Luo Lin, and changed his name to Lord.
Some decayed wooden support frames can be seen inside, the ground is full of gravel, and two wooden tracks can be seen. A little further away, a badly damaged mine cart is leaning on one side.
This is indeed a mine.
This is really strange, how can such a barren land have such a mine, I have never heard anyone say it. Who is mining? Why is it abandoned? This is all a mystery.
While thinking about it, Luo Lin suddenly caught a hesitation on the face of a worker from the corner of his eyes, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"Huh?" Luo Lin looked over and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The worker was not young anymore, his hair was gray, his face was full of stubble and wrinkles. When asked by Luo Lin, he was the first to tremble instinctively, lowered his head, and said timidly: "Lord Lord, I heard my grandfather say A story may be related to this mine."
"Oh, let's hear it." Luo Lin smiled.
This gentle attitude calmed down the worker. A look of memory appeared on his face, and he slowly said, "This is what my grandfather experienced when he was young. It was probably more than a hundred years ago. He said at that time. There used to be a lord in Gaoshan Town. He also built his territory in this basin, but later I don’t know why, there was a big fire here, and the lord’s mansion was burned to the ground, and no one escaped. This basin has been killed since then. It was regarded as an unknown place, and slowly fell into disuse."
"So, this mine is probably the property of that lord?" Luo Lin continued, but he always felt that something was unreasonable. After thinking for a while, he found the reason: "But the problem is, if this was the lord’s mansion, we should at least be able to find some debris after the mansion was burned. There must be a road leading to the outside of the hill in this basin. It will not be as isolated from the world as it is now. But now, none of this has been discovered."
The lord’s question made the old worker see sweat on his forehead. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord, this is a story passed down from my ancestors. Many people in Gaoshan Town know it, I didn’t lie~"
Horn has also been contemplating his eyebrows. At this time, he interjected: "More than a hundred years have passed. The ruins of the Lord's Mansion may have been covered by fallen leaves. As for the way out of the mountain, maybe the Lord likes to live alone? Maybe this is the case. It has something to do with this mine. For example, this mine produces precious minerals. Does this lord want people to know?"
It makes sense to say that, so to confirm the authenticity of this legend now, just find the remains of the burned lord's mansion. If the wreckage is found, Horn's inference is likely to be established, and the mine is very problematic.
Moreover, the Lord's Mansion was burned down, and there was no survivor. This matter itself revealed a strange conspiracy atmosphere.
"It has been confirmed that there are no ruins of the mansion in the cultivated woods. In this way, arrange for someone to carefully search the remaining area to see if there are ruins under the fallen leaves." Luo Lin ordered.
The lord’s mansion is likely to be made of stone, even if it is burned down, even if more than a hundred years have passed, it is impossible to completely disappear.
"Yes, Lord." Horn nodded and turned to arrange a search operation, while Luo Lin returned to the Lord's Mansion to wait patiently.
………
The search only lasted two days, and two days later, the results came out.
There are indeed ruins in the north of the basin. In addition to the ruins, there is also a surprising accident. A worker found a hole in a mountain wall, and there was wind blowing out continuously.
A few people walked in and explored, and unexpectedly found that this is a passage. The passage is very spacious. Walking along the passage, you can walk directly to the outside of the hill. There is a big river passing by outside the hill. It is the only river Sola River in Gaoshan Town.
The Sola River goes all the way to the east, and after ten kilometers, it will directly enter the sea. With this channel, it is absolutely amazing!
As soon as he got the news, Luo Lin was overjoyed. After thinking about it, he immediately rewarded the workers who discovered the passage and ordered the seal.
This is a strategic news. In the future, the orcs will invade and Vendome will fall. This secret passage will become a very important lifeline.
Even if he did so, Luo Lin still felt insufficient. He was afraid that the confidentiality measures he thought might be missed. He called to Horn. The two discussed secretly for a long time. Finally Horn began to arrange a series of careful plans, including focusing on monitoring and discovering the passage. Workers, excavated a few extra caves with exactly the same appearance to cover people's eyes and ears, sent soldiers to guard the real passages, and so on.
All measures are implemented together, with one goal, to keep the secret of this channel.
Horn went to implement the plan. He was careful in thinking, highly adaptable, and often had a clever touch. Luo Lin was very relieved of the former Allied commander.
Horn settled the passage, and Luo Lin's eyes returned to the mine.
The previous question has been confirmed. The secret passage, the isolated basin, and the mysterious fire all illustrate the possibility that there is a possibility that some coveted secrets are hidden in this mine.
Luo Lin didn't rush into the mine. He is now the lord and has too many people involved in the future, so he can't take risks at will.
Luo Lin didn't want to force his subordinates to take risks. He didn't like to force him, even if the opponent was a leader he could drive at will.
Luo Lin, who lives in modern society, tends to let people choose freely. This method is easy to handle. He posted a recruitment announcement at the gate of the lord's mansion, promising to reward him and recruit warriors.
The announcement explains the danger of entering the mine, but the reward is also very attractive. As long as you are willing to enter the cave to investigate the situation and draw a map, you will immediately receive a reward of five gold coins.
Five gold coins! For ordinary people, it is already a huge sum of money, enough to feed and drink for a family of three for more than two years.
Gaoshan Town is already barren. The salary that Luo Lin offered when recruiting them before was five silver coins a month. And pack food and drink. This condition is already very favorable, so almost the entire Gaoshan Town has laborers who come here. Now there is a reward of five gold coins. Even if they know that it is dangerous, they still block people's enthusiasm for gold coins. As soon as the announcement was posted, the number of people who signed up reached more than 30.
Of course Luo Lin didn't need so many people. He chose ten bachelors who were not burdened by their families: "Remember, the mine is very dangerous. If you encounter an unstoppable danger, you should quit immediately."
"Yes, Lord Lord." The workers were both excited and afraid. What was excited was the bounty, and what was afraid was that they would enter the mine with terrible legends. The emotions were extremely complicated.
When a group of people came to the mine, Luo Lin commanded: "Okay, tie a rope around your waist, you are connected together. The last one, tie a long rope, once something happens. Pull the rope hard and we will pull you out. ."
Entering an unfamiliar mine is inherently dangerous. Accumulation of harmful gases, unknown mines, lost paths, etc., are enough to kill people.
These ropes are thick hemp ropes specially made, with arm thickness, very solid, and should be able to cope with unexpected situations. For the safety of these workers, Luo Lin also distributed a set of metal-studded leather armor to each.
The workers nodded, tied the rope, carried the oil lamp, grabbed a simple weapon, and started walking slowly into the mine.
Luo Lin waited outside the cave. There were more than 30 soldiers around him. These soldiers were young men with outstanding performances and loyal personalities in training. They were promoted by Luo Lin to the Lord's Soldiers and enjoyed higher levels. The treatment included wild wolf and snake demon Narosa.
As for Harrington, Rollin arranged for him to lead the scout team. And Luisa, because of Horn's insistence, she was idle. Apart from helping with some territorial trivial matters, she basically did not involve military affairs, and became Horn's wife with peace of mind.
This wait lasted more than two hours, and the rope outside the cave had been stretched several times. It was five or six hundred meters long, but it was still being pulled in continuously.
"The mine is very deep." The wild wolf exclaimed.
Luo Lin nodded. Just about to speak, he saw the rope tremble violently and quickly pulled it into the cave. Vaguely, he could still hear the vague screams from the mine.
"No, grab the rope!" Luo Lin was the first to step forward, grab the thick hemp rope, rolled a few rolls around his arm, and then pulled it hard.
With this pull, Luo Lin felt that the force from the rope was so ridiculous. With his current strength, he couldn't stand it. His entire feet had fallen into the ground, but he was still being slowly pulled towards the entrance of the hole, on the ground. Two deep trenches were plowed directly by his legs.
Luo Lin yelled and opened the state of anger without hesitation. With the power multiplied, but still unable to resist it, Narosa immediately followed and grabbed the rope, while the snake tail tightly wrapped around a wooden stake at the entrance of the mine.
Both of them are very powerful, but together, they can hold the rope to prevent it from sliding into the mine.
Luo Lin has time to shout: "What are you doing in a daze, help!"
His personal soldiers were all Xinnen, who had not experienced much danger, had never been on the battlefield, and had insufficient on-the-spot reaction. At this moment, he didn't even react.
The wild wolf immediately rushed and pulled the rope behind Luo Lin. With this pull, he was also shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, help!"
There is no need for him to shout, more than 30 strong soldiers have already rushed up, everyone pulled the rope end, exhausted and pulled back.
Joining so many new forces and finally gaining the upper hand in strength, everyone pulled the rope and kept pulling out.
As the rope continued to be pulled out, the screams from the mine became clearer and clearer, mixed with an indescribable scream, and the soldiers who heard it turned pale.
Luo Lin was as calm as ever, with his hands alternately pulling back, his eyes fixed on the mine entrance, always ready. Narosa also felt the danger, vacated a pair of arms, took a bow with an arrow, and aimed at the mine opening.
The cry was getting closer and closer, slowly approaching the entrance of the cave.
"Pull hard, pull hard~EbookFREE.me~ Pull the rope back, it's about to come out, be careful!" Luo Lin roared.
Everyone pulled the rope back together.
"Roar~~~Ah~~" The roar was mixed with screams, and a group of dark shadows were slowly dragged out of the entrance of the mine. The moment everyone saw the scene in the cave, their hearts trembled, for this Shocked by the terrible sight.
Even Luo Lin couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
At the entrance of the cave, a slug resembling Luo Lin's previous life, but a strange creature like a giant bear was dragged out.
Four of the ten workers were missing, and a thick hemp rope was attached to the mouth of the giant slug (if the squirming hole was its mouth), obviously, the four workers who disappeared were swallowed by it.
This guy was struggling constantly, and from it there was an unimaginable huge force, and the workers in front of it, all of them were scared of earth, and they made screams of collapse and were terrified. (To be continued...)
