Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 161: Be the first to enter the slave era
Ji Ming just likes to talk to smart people. He can skip the most time-consuming threatening part and get straight to the point.

"I'll ask you the answer. If you answer well, I'll spare your life."

"Please speak."

Ji Ming took out a chair out of thin air and sat down.

"Which mercenary group do you three belong to?"

"Mountain Red Dragon Mercenary Group, sir."

Uh……

Finn is the strong wind, and Andrew is the hammer. Why haven’t I heard of this mountain man, the red dragon?

You definitely couldn't ask stupidly at this time, so Ji Ming pretended to be like that.

"This is not what Andrew's mercenary group is. Why do you carry out the tasks assigned by him?"

"Sir, in fact, the life of mercenaries is not that prosperous. We are just a third-rate mercenary group picking up leaks everywhere!"

Zog first imitated Big Brother's words and explained it, and then added something.

"It's already difficult. If you go against Mr. Andrew again... I'm afraid you'll be kicked out of Sunshine City!"

Ji Ming thought for a moment and then asked him some detailed questions.

As I imagined, the differences and conflicts within the Mercenary Alliance are probably greater than those of the three major families.

It's just that as a purely violent organization, everyone has a "monk temple" thousands of miles away to liquidate, so it is suppressed for the time being.

As the deputy leader, although Andrew still has Feynman on his head, he still has no problem using his power to secretly control a third-rate mercenary group.

So he used coercion and inducement to let the mountain man Red Dragon explore the underground plain for him under the guise of a long-term mission.

It can not only avoid the loss of one's own subordinates, but also cover the eyes and ears of the outside world. It is indeed smart to kill two birds with one stone.

only……

"The underground plain is so vast. Why is there only Andrew and your leader Feynman in your words?"

"This... I haven't heard the leader mention him... he shouldn't be involved in this matter, right?"

"lie!"

The matter was of great importance, so Ji Ming asked Zogge to recall it carefully again, but he still got an answer that he knew nothing about.

In this case, there is only one possibility:

Does Andrew actually want to bypass the alliance leader and swallow up all the profits from the underground plain by himself?
Not to mention whether the throat can hold it up, this "vice" gentleman really doesn't seem to like this hat.

And considering that he works part-time as the dean, conducts research on human experiments, and secretly cultivates influence...

Is he already plotting secretly to try to sideline Feynman, the "ignorant warrior" rumored by the outside world?
Huh, hard to say.

Keeping this speculation in mind, Ji Ming carefully considered what to do with these three mercenaries.

It was impossible to release him, but he was a strong worker after all, so killing him directly would be too wasteful.

Rather than...

"oops!"

The next moment, Zog felt like he was being thrown to the ground like an object.

He quietly opened his eyes and took a look, only to find a huge black demonic wolf squatting in front of him.

Looking at Chloe who was confused with half a fish hanging from her mouth, Ji Ming clapped his hands.

"Congratulations on the promotion. From now on, the three of them will be slaves of the dungeon. As long as they don't get killed, you can do whatever you want with them!"

Huh, before Andrew comes to the underground plains to mess around, I'm going to be the first to enter the slave age!
Originally, he wanted to capture several other exploration teams, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.

It would be bad if the Red Dragon mercenaries lost too much and scared Andrew away.

After all, this is like a fish in the river. If you are not even willing to sacrifice a small piece of fish, how can you trick the God of Fishing into showering you with favors?

Only if he continues to invest, continue to send people, and continue to make arrangements, can he continue to eat financially, continue to obtain labor, and continue to bleed people.

Thinking about it this way, Dean An is actually a good person.

When you go to his house later, you'd better take an extra bag and clear out the inventory for him.

After solving the problem of mercenaries, Ji Ming reopened the map and prepared to "visit" all the tribes from near to far.

Directly using teleportation would be a bit superficial, so he walked there with a breath-closing talisman on his head.

Coincidentally, the tribe closest to the underground city is the Iron Hoof tribe located in the southwest of the underground plain.

Walking along the grassland, you will see a large wooden building on the high ground on the other side of the hillside.

Even though the architectural style is very rough, the Iron Hoof Tribe is much better than the Dog Village, which is basically a pile of ruins.

There is planning, division of labor, and many normal tools and weapons can be seen on the cabinet.

Although the tauren walking through it were made of relatively cool cloth, their muscles were bulging and powerful, and they definitely did not look like they had been hungry.

Judging from the map, the one with the highest combat power is the Chief, a level 38 mid-level warrior.

Ji Ming does not intend to contact the players before they do this this time. After all, the official attitude towards order has been clearly expressed in the closed beta. It will be seen how well the players understand and implement it.

Going east from the Iron Hoof tribe, passing through a small wild fruit forest where various small monsters are active, is a coal vein.

Of course, like the iron mine in the dungeon, this place is also occupied by cave creatures.

But unlike the ugly and cunning kobolds, a group of honest and honest mole people live here.

They are fat and good at digging but not good at fighting, so the highest level professional among them is only level [-].

But the strange thing is that it is not the tribal chief who lives deep in the cave, but...

An alchemist, a gargoyle, and an abomination.

what?
This configuration made Ji Ming a little confused. After reading the introduction carefully, he figured out what was going on.
——Just relying on his strong fists to bully honest people.

But on second thought, this is actually a good thing.

When the players came here, they found that a large group of "Mole's Tale" were being bullied by evil alchemy madmen, and the dungeon scene was the coal they were in urgent need of...

I'm afraid it's not necessary to form 114514 expedition teams at the speed of light and defeat the villain boss 1919810 times!

Marking the mole's tribe on the map, Ji Ming continued walking eastward. A spring gurgled out, gradually forming an underground stream.

There are many small tribes on both sides of the undulating streams, but they are more like miniature settlements than tribes.

Three or two thatched huts put together form a team. The level is so low that it is difficult to find a leader higher than ten.

However, being weak does not mean that he loves peace. From time to time, Ji Ming can see the skeletons of various creatures under the water.

"Ah, how pitiful!"

He immediately had a heart attack, collected them all neatly, and put them in the morgue.

When the terrain slowed down again, the stream turned into a river and its flow rate also slowed down, finally converging into a lake.

Although it is not as large and deep as the Holy Tree Lake, it can still be regarded as an underground scenic spot.

Standing on the steamy shore, Ji Ming looked up.

Finally I understand why there are so many white dots here, but they are all close to the border of the map and stacked on top of each other.

Because just like the hanging coffins in the real world, the tall rock walls are actually full of caves.

If used properly, it is an excellent natural hazard, so active among them is a tribe of batmen whose average person can fly.Ji Ming got closer and observed it with the night vision function.

Speaking of bats, they have nothing to do with the vicious monsters in Western legends.

If I have to say it, his appearance is actually similar to the bat spirit in "Calabash Baby".

The body proportions are similar to that of a human, with broad bat wings on its back, and its head resembles a mouse with extremely large ears.

Although his appearance is somewhat cunning and cunning, it won't make players explode if they take another look at it.

The most powerful professional among them is an old bat who is the chief, with level 26. Unfortunately, he is too old and has dropped to his early twenties.

At this point, the four levels of power in the underground plain can be seen.

The first is the top tribes like Demon Spirit and Iron Hoof.

They have powerful professionals above level [-] as leaders, and in addition there are multiple level [-] beings as the backbone.

Strong strength does not need to fear anyone, so it has complete sovereignty.

And then there are powerful tribes like the Batmen.

They have professionals above level [-] to control the field, but they inevitably lack confidence when facing stronger ones, so they only have partial sovereignty.

Next came the common tribes like the Mole People.

Although professionals above level [-] can be considered as capable of fighting, they are still too fragile in the face of strong winds and waves, and their sovereignty is basically out of their hands.

As for the pile of odds and ends by the creek...

I'm afraid they can't even beat the Dog Village, they can only be regarded as a small team that is not popular.

Calculated this way, if the entire underground plain is screwed together, the combat effectiveness is actually about the same as that of Sunshine City.

It's a pity that it can't be screwed, it can only be used as an experience package for players and mercenaries to enhance themselves.

The cave is located in the southeast corner of the underground plain, so Ji Ming can only choose to go north if he continues to move forward.

The gentle terrain is slowly rising, obviously heading towards higher ground.

So not long after, a large gap appeared in the solid rock wall on the side, through which one could leave the underground plain.

But now it doesn't work.

Because since Andrew discovered this underground plain, he has sealed the only exit for safety reasons.

The mercenaries set up a checkpoint here and blocked the entrance with a simple wooden wall. Any creature trying to pass through would be discovered.

Ji Ming was naturally furious when he saw this.

Good boy, you are going against your wild father on both sides, right? ?
However, based on what we have learned before, the Mountain Man Red Dragon is just a third-rate mercenary group.

The leader of the group is only over ten levels, and his overall strength is about the same as that of the Mole Tribe.

In this case, how can you not eat the fat meat that is brought to your mouth?
So he waited and watched for a while, then swaggered over the wall and slipped in with the breath charm in his hand.

Passing through the bonfire where the rabbit was roasting, I glanced at the mercenary who was chatting about which wandering warbler was more energetic.

Ji Ming sneaked up to the strongest row of houses in the camp. Seeing no one around, he pushed open a gap and got in.

Since it can be used as an advance base for mercenaries to explore the underground plains, there must be a material warehouse here.

Therefore, this is a food warehouse.

Boxes of bread, bags of dried meat, and two barrels of wine in the corner...

hateful!Dean An is my friend. He was bullied by Feynman and wanted to make a comeback. He put such great expectations in you, but you actually came to the wilderness to drink and eat?
Ji Ming became angrier as he watched, and finally opened a teleportation pocket.

Confiscated, confiscated!All confiscated!
But Ji Ming is not a demon, how could he watch his compatriots starve to death here?
So after leaving two boxes of slightly moldy bread, I left the food warehouse and opened the door on the opposite side without stopping.

Several rays of cold light flashed through, but they were not attacks, but...

Wuhu also has a weapons warehouse!

Dean An, I will teach you a lesson for these mercenaries who like to take advantage of others. It shouldn’t be too much to borrow a battalion’s equipment from your brothers!
Take it, you can take it!

Anyway, weapons are inedible and are not necessities of life, so Ji Ming moved them more cleanly this time.

It's a pity that the total number of mountain red dragons is only thirty or forty people, and half of them are ruffians recruited locally because of insufficient manpower.

Therefore, there are not many weapons. Compared with more than a thousand players, a few boxes can only relieve the cold.

Although it is said that you do good deeds without leaving your name, Zi once said: If you don’t leave your name behind, who will do good deeds in the future?

So Ji Ming did not leave like this. Instead, while continuing to search the entire camp, he randomly selected a lucky person's shoes and used teleportation to leave a series of faint footprints on the ground.

After doing all this, he climbed over the wall and left the camp.

But he didn't rush to leave. Instead, he sat outside for a while.

It wasn't until a series of extremely pregnant roars came from inside that he turned back to the west with satisfaction.

According to the marks on the map, there was another place he wanted to confirm.

The underground plain was vast, and even though Ji Ming was already on his way with all his strength, it was still five o'clock in the morning.

After climbing over a slightly undulating hill, Ji Ming first glanced at the empty ground, then looked up at the top of the rock.

No wonder so many earth elemental creatures can neatly form geometric figures one after another.

It turns out that in the center of the underground city, on top of the tallest rock wall, is actually a rock castle hanging upside down!
And unlike the ruined castle, this is an architectural structure that can only be found in the magical world.

Almost every brick is engraved with complex patterns, which are independent of each other and complement each other. It is even more spectacular than the man-made wonders in reality.

Being able to drive a large group of earth elemental beings to voluntarily form a building, the owner of the castle should not be underestimated.

According to the display on the map, the person occupying this place is a level 32 young rock dragon.

With such a big spectrum at just over 30 levels, it seems that Bloomfield is quite easy to deal with, as long as he has a small attic.

As for whether this dragon species will be an enemy or a friend in the future, that is something that players have to consider.

So Ji Ming didn't stay, but went directly back to the clinic.

For safety reasons, Stone and the others would leave Sunshine City early this morning, so Ji Ming put the mission items in his bag and took Adele to the outer city.

Unlike the earth, which has entered the information age, although magic is very developed in the world of Yangyue, for ordinary people, they may never see it again in their lifetime.

Therefore, in the sad and melancholy atmosphere, Stone and others did not dare to stay after all. After asking Bailey to collect his father's ashes, they quietly left Sunshine City under the cover of a few acquaintances and guards.

Adele was in tears.

"Doctor, do you think we can see them again?"

"can."

And maybe it will be sooner than you think.

By the time the two returned to the clinic, the sun had officially risen.

There were relatively few patients this morning, but Stone and others were moving at a high speed.

So after looking at the two unremarkable stab wound patients, Ji Ming quickly returned to the second floor under the pretense of feeling unwell.

Adele sighed as she heard the door being closed and locked.

Although the doctor pretended to be strong, he was so kind. He must have been unable to control his emotions and went back to the second floor to cry, right?
...Speaking of which, what would it be like for a doctor to hold his head and cry?
I seem to want to know...
