Chapter 22 The Strong and the Intruders (Part I)


What appeared in front of Gu Wu's eyes was a forest centered on the cave and built and expanded in all directions, its scale was not large, it looked like it should not be the headquarters of this organization, but a small stronghold like an outpost.At this time, the survivor, a middle-aged man whose legs and shoulders were red with blood, was coughing loudly, his lips were bitten, his elbows and face were covered with abrasions, and his face was gradually turning pale due to blood loss.Gu Wu used magic to treat him, and the man, whose wound recovery rate had increased, began to slow down his breathing rhythm, and he thanked Gu Wu as he leaned against the edge of the nearby counter."

Thank you very much for your help, I don't know who you are, but I want to warn you, stay away from here as much as possible, I'm sure the demon didn't leave at all" "Don't worry about that, just tell me where 'that demon' went, and I'll take care of the rest." ”"Wait, this gentleman, and the young lady over there, are you going to go find that demon?!

Listen to me, there's no way anyone can stop that guy!

”The middle-aged man who coughed again looked to his left, and Gu Wu handed him the kettle over there."

Thank you about the demon, did you see the corpse at the entrance to the cave?

Among them is a gray-haired, one-eyed male, who is said to have been a "golden" level adventurer, and even trained with a "Mithril" level magnate, so he is our captain and the strongest, once defeated a bear with one hand, and slaughtered a monster with only one sword!

”The middle-aged man wiped the blood stains off his face, and after taking a sip of water, he continued, "Such a powerful person, not worth mentioning in front of that demon, was pierced through his body by a finger, so, two benefactors, please leave quickly, otherwise you will lose your life." ”It does sound like a very strong person, but Gu Wu thinks that 'that demon' must have followed the protagonist who came here&iddot; Feifei related, otherwise there would be no killing in this area.Facing the kind reminder of the person in front of him, Gu Wu once again declared, "We have something to do, so we have to find the demon in your mouth, and without preparation, I won't run here to die in vain." ”"But sir" "What are you doing here compared to this?"

I've heard rumors in the royal capital that you plan to gather forces here and cooperate with people from abroad. ”The middle-aged man looked a little surprised, but he quickly adjusted his mentality."

If the two of you were here to crusade against us, you wouldn't have let me live until now, let's be honest, we are indeed ready to cooperate with other forces, because our land and our hometown have been destroyed by those hateful nobles!"

It turned out to be a revenge against the nobles, and now it is quite common to think about this reason.Of course, Gu Wu didn't mean to mock them, after all, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and in this different world, there are not only the existence of the protagonist who has opened a golden finger and reached the peak of life, but also the victims who are haunted by misfortune and are trying to survive in crisis.No matter how beautiful the world is, there is also darkness that no one knows, and Gu Wu, who knows this, doesn't think they are 'evil', and the problems here have little to do with him.It's just that if it is placed in the exchange world, Gu Wu will respect those who oppose him, but if those people do unpleasant things, Gu Wu will definitely be wiped out."

I'm curious why you're hiding here, and if there's plenty of food?""

Yes, there is a fertile land on the top of the hills, it is easy to grow vegetables, fish is used for meat, and the occasional hunting trip to the nearby forest area is of course, what really matters is that there are weapons here.""

Weapons?

Do you produce weapons in this deep mountain and old forest?

Spears?

Or a sword?

”"That's it," the middle-aged man pulled out something from his pocket, it was a yellow solid.Gu Wu, who was staring at this thing, took it in his hand and sniffed it, and then he understood what these people were doing here."

Mages can work miracles, blessed adventurers can fight against powerful enemies, and educated and trained knights can fight in unity, what about us?

We come from an abandoned village that no one cares about, and we have no income under the pressure of the nobility all the year round, so we have no power to resist when we are invaded, so we found this, an alchemist said, it can exert the power of magic, if there are enough of them" "You want to blow up the king?"

”At this time, Altaïr took the things in Gu Wu's hand, and she also sniffed it."

Brimstone" "That's right, this young lady can destroy even a strong wall with him." ”"Maybe it makes explosives that can blow up walls, but what about the mage's barriers?

When those mages and high-ranking adventurers come into the scene, yours won't be useful. ”"This young lady, we are not stupid but have no power, of course we know the result, so we will arrange them in the nobles' mansions, granaries and other areas, and we will completely destroy the royal capital and its foundation!"

These people are smart, they are aware of the difference in strength between themselves and the enemy, so they take a means that are not head-on.It's just that now they may not be able to do it anymore Gu Wu looked around, it seemed that he was the only survivor, and the rest of the people were all smashed and cut off, as if a deadly storm swept here, and it was a miracle that the person in front of him could live.At this moment, Altaïr returned the brimstone to the middle-aged man and followed her out."

What's the sound Gu Wu, let's go and see.""

No problem."

When Gu Wu got up, the middle-aged man grabbed Gu Wu's arm."

Your Excellency, you shouldn't go, that demon is not something that ordinary people can deal with, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen to this point, maybe this is the punishment for our malice, obviously it was a good thing done by those hateful nobles from the beginning, why they were not punished, why are we alone!"

Gu Wu used healing magic on it again, and then let it fall asleep.Altaïr, who witnessed Gu Wu doing this, walked forward and said, "You should have used magic a long time ago, just let him spit out the truth and leave." ”"That's true, it's just that I don't want to rely too much on magic" "There's nothing wrong with relying on magic, it's all yours anyway. ”The conversation between the two men did not continue, but walked along the path of the small stronghold, ready to see what was really going on.Due to the tall and dense trees in this area, it is difficult to observe flying in the air, so the two chose to walk and move forward on a road that has been trampled by many people, and soon see the change of scene.Although the towering ones still exist, there are traces of human life everywhere.Landmarks placed on the side of the road, torches that are now extinguished and are often lit at night, and sentry posts set up in trees prove that there is indeed something ahead.Gu Wu looked at the road under his feet at the moment, and some of the footprints were still very clear, proving that all this was only a few hours, and it wouldn't be too long anyway."

It's just ahead, and the terrain has become a lot more open."

Seeing the environment not far away, Altaïr, who was ready to fight, stepped into the next area.The area has clearly been rested.The ground was paved with planks for easy walking, and in some areas it was made of stones, anyway, for better movement, and about thirty meters in front of the two men, there was an extended fence and a gate.The gate had now been penetrated, and while the left door was intact, the right door was crooked, as if it were going to fall down at any moment.Gu Wu increased his speed, and he had already opened the barrier as he walked side by side with Altair."

I'll go first."

Although Altaïr is not weak, as a man, Gu Wu chose to take the lead.So Gu Wu, who had increased his speed, walked to the front, and he chose to enter from the right side.Reaching out with his right hand, he touched the crumbling-looking gate, and the moment it touched, it collapsed inward.The sound appeared, the dust flew, and the dust that obscured his vision was driven away with the magic of the wind, and Gu Wu smelled the smell of sulfur coming to his face.It smelled of blood when it was first below, but when it came to this real headquarters, it was the smell of sulfur."

What's there?"

Altaïr, who entered later, asked Gu Wu, and Gu Wu told what he had seen with his eyes."

There are two corpses in the center, and they are no longer human, as for the voice you just heard."

Gu Wu looked at the flags and some shelves that were waving in the wind."

I think those things came out.""

So the enemy isn't here?""

That's true for now, and there's another thing that's strange, theorizing that there are a lot of people here who are working to mine the brimstone, but at the moment there is no one else to be seen, Miss Altair, what do you think?""

It's like a puzzle show I saw that day and in an instant."

Puzzle show?"

The crew of a ship is all gone, and everything on the ship remains the same, which is probably the show.""

I've seen this, too, and many researchers tend to prefer that the crew left on their own, rather than some paranormal phenomenon.""

Maybe it's the same here, the people who used to mine the sulphur here are gone.""

Escaped?

It's unlikely, after all, the demon who killed the group of people below seems to be quite powerful, and it won't give so many people a chance to escape. ”Therefore, Gu Wu stared at the two corpses in the center and guessed, "The reason why these two people were killed may be the demon's dismount, after all, it is better to kill a few people than to yell and warn loudly." ”"Where will they go?

So many people should leave traces even if they move around, and we should probably go around the fence. ”"That's right."

However, before the operation, Gu Wu walked to the back of this headquarters and saw the pit for sulfur mining that stretched downward, and it was currently emitting a pungent smell."

I don't think they're going to hide inside."

With that, Altaïr flew towards the nearby fence.Gu Wu, who was standing in place, looked around, and this fenced area contained sulfur caves, dormitories, wooden warehouses, carts, and various daily utensils, all of which seemed to be in a state of use, which made the scene very strange."

Where have all the people gone?"

Gu Wu, who was chattering again, also began to investigate the vicinity of the fence to see if he could find any traces caused by the movement.Gu Wu thought that there were quite a few rebels here, which could be seen from the beds in the dormitory, so he thought that they must have been transferred.As for the location of the transfer, there is only one place that has not been investigated, and that is the pungent smell of sulfur caves.As the saying goes, if you don't get into the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and in the absence of clues, it is necessary to conduct an investigation inside.Thinking like this, Gu Wu immediately set off."

Are those people going to run inside and hide?""

Maybe they were driven in."

Gu Wu replied to Altair, and he was standing at the entrance of the cave."

Huh?

Miss Altair, this cave is windy. ”Gu Wu, who said this, sprinkled a handful of dust, and the flying gravel tilted under the interference of the wind current.Sure enough, I was right.The wind here means that the cave is connected, and perhaps it is connected to other areas.And such an explanation is more plausible.After all, if people here leave from the outside, they will definitely leave footprints, and it is impossible to disappear quietly.Perhaps the sulphur caves connected the waterways of the underground rivers, which in turn connected to another area.As for why it was transferred, this is a little strange.Is there any point in the 'demon' who attacked here only killed two people and transferred the rest?

Gu Wu thought about it, and he was ready to find out if he wanted the answer."

Alright, let's go check it out.""

Before we can do that, we'll have to deal with the rest of the problem.""

Questions?""

Your ears no, your magic doesn't seem to be as powerful as mine."

As soon as Altair finished speaking, footsteps could be heard from inside the dark sulphur cavern.The rhythmic footsteps gradually approached, and then a pair of red eyes appeared in the cave."

What's going on?

Didn't I clean it up just now?

No, you taste different. ”"You are" Gu Wu looked at the comer who gradually revealed his figure."

I see."

With a clapping of his hands, Gu Wu, who made this action, knew who the other party was, and also guessed some routines of the plot, so he looked at the other party and continued, "Can you communicate?"

Miss Vampire. ”
