Chapter 239 Mine Encounter
"It's here. I heard that when we evacuated, a lot of machines were left behind."

"If you're lucky, the steam engine inside hasn't been damaged."

"In the age of mana, those people still want to collect steam engines. I really don't know what they think."

"What do you know, the upper class is playing the same game as you, so is it still called the upper class?"

"It's fine if you can exchange money, why bother so much."

A group of five people were standing at the entrance of the mine and looking inside.

They are the "gold diggers" of the mine, after the steam reform became popularized into magic energy.

The steam engine gradually disappeared.

So now things that can be driven by steam engines have become scarce, and things that the upper class like to play.

In the formerly abandoned mines, there are steam engines left over.

The five people turned on the searchlights and walked into the dark, abyss-like mine.

In the empty mine, the sound of their footsteps traveled far, and bounced back, forming multiple echoes.

It's like they are not the only ones walking here.

The rock walls here glowed with a dark cold light, as if cast by darkness, swallowing up all light.

In the case of not turning on the strong light, the range of the searchlight is very limited.

However, on this black rock wall, there are sporadic inlaid red ore left over from the original excavation.

These ores emit a faint red light in the dark, although it is very soft, it can penetrate the darkness, forming circles of halos of light.

It looks like red eyes, watching you constantly in the dark.

But it can also tell them that they are not in the engulfing darkness, but in the mine.

The atmosphere here makes people feel crazy and suffocated.

The five people took a deep breath one after another, and one of them eased the atmosphere and said:

"Hey, have you heard that it seems that a few gold diggers like us have disappeared recently."

"There seems to be such a thing, but it's normal. It's not without risk to do this business. Maybe the mine collapses and we won't be able to get out."

Someone thought for a while: "It seems that either the mine collapsed or disappeared."

"His grandma, can you guys say something auspicious?"

While the few of them were talking, suddenly there was a rustling sound at their feet.

A round of huge shadow was elongated by the light and cast on the ground.

With its teeth and claws open, it looks like those horrible weird creatures.

The five of them were startled, and their bodies trembled: "What~something!"

"It's a mouse, damn it, it scared me to death."

Everyone looked at the owner of the round shadow. It was a huge mouse that was close to [-] centimeters. Not only was it huge, but its head was like batter, and its five sense organs were all fused together.

"Damn, why are there such big deformed mice here."

Someone pulled out a long knife from his waist and split the mouse in half with one blow.

They are familiar with the deformed mouse, but they haven't seen it so big.

The five of them calmed down their nervous hearts, breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.

I met many deformed mice on the way, but I ignored them.

Not long after walking, someone sniffed.

"Did you smell it? It seems to have a disgusting rancid smell."

"Huhu~ Is there? I don't feel it."

"is it?"

Not paying attention, they continued walking forward.

But not far away, the man's ears moved, and he asked uncertainly:

"You guys, do you hear that, it seems like there is a rat's cry."

"No, you won't have mental problems, will you?"

"Besides, it's not normal to have rats here."

"No... it's... it's dense voices, I... I'm not sure, it seems to be gone..."

"Don't be surprised. In your state, you can easily be sent to Arkham Asylum. That's not a place for people to stay."

"Sorry, maybe it was too depressing."

Someone patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, you can see that there are more and more ore on the surrounding rock walls, which means that we will officially enter the tunnel soon."

"Before entering the tunnel, there must be an enlarged space for the transportation machinery. By then, the steam engine will be ours."

Looking at the red halo around them, it seemed as if they were densely wrapped around them.

That feeling is even worse.

But thinking about the money he earned from getting out of the steam engine, the man still nodded.

Continue to move forward, the space ahead is getting bigger and bigger, and there are traces of mining all around.

Soon, they came to a gourd-shaped passage.

The space in front is used to place the transmission machinery.

The expressions on the faces of the five of them finally showed a hint of joy.

Entering the space ahead, there is indeed a huge rusty machine placed here.

Next, they only need to verify that the steam engine is good or bad, and if they can take it away, take it away.

If you can't, wait to go back and get the tools.

The main purpose this time is to find out here.

Everyone immediately started to check whether the steam engine was good or bad.

However, the person who was startled before suddenly smelled a rancid smell here again.

He looked around suspiciously, but there was no red light emitting from here, indicating that there was no exposed ore.

The darkness is like air, wrapping them and affecting perception.

The range of the searchlight was only about five meters. He shone around, but couldn't reach the rock wall at all.

"Guys, the mined space here seems a bit big."

Someone said angrily: "It's big, it's big, why do you care so much, come here and give me a hand, and lift the cover."

However, this person did not go directly to help, but adjusted the searchlight above his head to strong light mode.

Although a lot of mana was consumed, he wanted to see how big it was.

The rays of light that spread out gradually became brighter, gathered together to form a beam of light, directly pierced through the tide-like darkness, and irradiated the rock wall here.

However, at the moment when it was irradiated, the man's expression froze, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

"This... this... what the hell are these!"

The rest of the people raised their heads one after another, and someone was about to get angry and scold this person for not doing business, what was he doing there.

His eyes subconsciously followed the gathering glare and looked over.

Looking at it this way, the anger in their hearts disappeared, replaced by panic.

I saw that the dark and cold rock wall in the area of ​​the strong light was covered with large and small holes.

In the afterglow of the light, there are many holes that only half or part of them are exposed.

They all turned on the strong light of their searchlights to point to different places.

The places that have been irradiated are all holes of different sizes without exception.

The small ones are as big as a fist, while the big ones can hold a person crawling.

It was riddled with holes, like a beehive, and no one knew where the holes could lead.

Someone tremblingly said: "I...I said, this is not like man-made mining..."

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Yeah, it doesn't look like it was formed naturally, what's going on here."

"I don't know, it seems... a bit weird here, why don't we retreat first?"

While talking, the man turned his head, trying to get a clear view of the surroundings.

But just as he finished speaking, he quickly turned his head and passed a rock wall.

In a trance, I saw something reflective in those large and small holes.

Subconsciously, he turned his head back and froze in that direction.

When he saw this, his face turned pale with fright, and he said with trembling voice and fear:

"Old...mouse!"

"A lot of mice!!!"

The rest of the people looked over one after another, and saw that the large and small holes were filled with densely packed deformed mice of different sizes.

And the reflection seen when the searchlight passed by just now is the reflection of their eyes!
When they didn't realize it and were about to leave here immediately.

When the searchlights turned around and passed over the rest of the rock walls, the previously empty cave entrances, without exception, began to reflect the strange brilliance of the eyes under the light.

Rats, aberrant rats, filled most of the caves!

The rats jumped out of their burrows and swarmed, like a faucet turned on, on the group.

And here, there are hundreds of faucets.

They panicked, most of these mice were much bigger than they had seen before.

And when the rat tide broke out before, there was news of rats attacking humans.

What's more, there are only five of them now.

These deformed mice, Yan will die for them.

The creaking sound from the ear seemed to be urging their lives, and the group of them were about to run outside.

But just when they turned their heads, a large group of deformed rats huddled together and swept towards them from the outside like a wave.

There was no way out, and the surrounding distortion mice surrounded them like a tide.

Their faces are extremely ugly, why are there so many deformed mice here.

But at this moment, someone noticed that there were no rats in the holes in the surrounding walls where people could crawl.

It's not joy, it's just a subconscious survival instinct.

Someone immediately yelled: "Quick, there is traffic!"

Before the words fell, he rushed over directly.

He fell headfirst into the cave, and suddenly seemed to crawl inside.

The rats that bit on his legs kicked off directly.

The rest of the people rushed over immediately, and three of them successfully fell into the cave.

And the last one ran too fast, stepped on a huge mouse and slid directly.

The ground was already covered with deformed rats, and they fell down.

The surrounding mice directly drowned it, and then only ear-piercing, heart-piercing screams echoed in the abandoned mine.

The remaining four humans, with pale faces and beating hearts, crawled inside quickly.

And in the middle, there are many forks in this cave.

These caves are like a huge maze.

They couldn't take care of so much, and crawled around sullenly.

Fortunately, after they crawled for a distance.

And no mice showed up.

But they didn't relax at all, instead their faces became even uglier.

In this dark and oppressive cave, only for people to crawl, and even unable to adjust their posture.

They have forgotten which fork they climbed here.

There is no retreat at all, only an unknown forward.

Their emotions broke down for a while.

But there is no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to grope and climb down in the unknown.
