Chapter 57 Abandoned Mine
The mine mentioned by the village chief is a place that has long been abandoned. Its history is said to be dated back to the Civil War. However, after that, it was already deserted, and only the small town not far away was somewhat popular. But now, the situation here has become completely different.
The burning torches illuminated the dark mine cave. Standing on the hillside not far away, you can even see the situation inside the mine. This is not like a mine that has been abandoned for a century. Instead, it seems that vitality and vitality have emerged again.
"Why are we here? And, commander, you just need to hand over the mission to us? Why do you still need to take action yourself?"
Looking at the strange mine pit in front of her, Ai Luka was obviously a little reluctant. She would rather stay with her beloved Harmony than come to this ghost place. However, it was Feilun who issued the order, so she couldn't say much. In Ai Luka's opinion, such small things did not require Feilun to take action at all. In the wilderness and wasteland, similar things were usually handled by their subordinates, but here, Feilun had to do it himself, which also made Ai Luka feel very uncomfortable.
Although Feilun had participated in the battle with them when exploring the nodes before, Ailuka knew the importance of the nodes very well. Even the essential rulers of the Blackstone Group must ask, so it is not surprising that Feilun will join. But this is different. This is just one of the countless small gathering points in the wasteland. The people here don’t seem to have any oil or water to squeeze, but the tasks are surprisingly dangerous. The wasteland is full of dangers, and any task may have unexpected situations. Such a place that has been abandoned long ago is even more dangerous.
What exactly is inside? Even whether the structure of the mine itself can still be supported is a big problem. If something happens, the mine collapses and even if it does not die on the spot, it will be finished sooner or later if it is trapped inside for ten days and half a month. This is not before the disaster. If something happens, you have no place to find an ambulance or call the police, so you need your subordinates to come down to die for yourself. The Black Dog Team has always done similar work on the wasteland, although the four sisters also advanced and retreated together at that time. But that is because they have a deep relationship with each other and have been together since they were born.
But Feiren is different. His status and strength in the ninth district are naturally far higher than those of the three Aluka sisters. Generally speaking, even if an existence like Feiren does not deliberately avoid it, he will avoid some dangers as much as possible. But Feiren is completely opposite to them. He just takes risks in person for the request of a ruler of a small gathering place. No matter how Aluka thinks, he cannot understand such a thing.
But no matter what, they are all subordinates of Feilun. Since Feilun has issued an order, they can only execute it.
"This is just my habit. You don't have to care. As long as you do what you should do."
"Okay, Commander."
Since Feiron had given the order, Eluka didn't have any more to say, so he just nodded. After receiving Eluka's response, Feluka walked towards the mine in front of him.
Under the dim night, the entire mine seemed silent. Apart from the "crackling" sounds from the torches from time to time, there was only the sound of everyone's footsteps. Delin did not change back to the form of a cat-eared maid, but still turned into a black cat and lay on Feren's shoulder. Behind Feren, Eluka, Kris and Kurona followed closely, staring carefully around.
From the outside, there is no strange place here. Whether it is the discarded tools or mine carts, they are still the same, and there are no blood, corpses and traces of fighting around. However, this is no wonder. According to the village chief, no one has ever been here since it was blocked and abandoned. In the past, there may have been energetic young people who came here to pursue adventures, but after the catastrophe, this kind of thing has disappeared - after all, being alone in the wilderness is already very exciting.
"Kulona, have you found anything?"
While staring around, Ai Luka lowered his voice and asked. Many people didn't know how terrible the demons were, but Ai Luka and others had seen them. These demons were not things that exist on the earth at all, so their existence itself even violated common sense. Instead, they were closer to those fairies and monsters in myths and legends. Ordinary attack methods against such monsters have no effect at all. Even Ai Luka doubted whether these demons could be detected by Kurona's ability, but no matter what, it was still safe to have a little guy around.
"Don't worry so much."
Looking at the nervous three people, Faren smiled slightly and then spoke.
"The danger this time is probably not very high. I think these demons shouldn't be that kind of particularly tyrannical guy."
"Why? Commander?"
If this sentence was said from others, then Aluka would definitely sneer, but Feiren is different. He is surrounded by a demon. At least in terms of "magic knowledge", he must know more than others.
"Because the character of the demons is generally very simple. If they want to kill you, then they will kill you. If they like you, then they will tell you. If they don't want to contact others, then they will hide far away. According to the village chief, this group of demons has been here for a while, but they have not done any extreme behavior to these people except burning some fruit trees and vegetables and killing a cow... Well, it seems that they need treatment."
"Why?"
Hearing this, Aluka was stunned. Even Kurona opened her eyes wide and looked at Feiren with curiosity.
"Commander, are these demons sick?"
"Well, I think they're sick."
Hearing Kurona's curious inquiry, Feiren smiled and answered, then turned his right hand, and soon, a scalpel appeared at Feiren's fingertips.
"So they need treatment. To be honest, I haven't dissected the demon for a long time. I wonder if these demons can cooperate with my treatment?"
"?"
Hearing Feiron's answer, Kurona tilted her head curiously. Aluka screamed in a low voice, feeling that she suddenly entered a state of emergency. At this moment, looking at Feiron's figure in front of her, Aluka couldn't help but recall the scene that happened in that building that day, which made her remember deeply - splashing blood, sharp screams, struggling limbs, and the shiny blade between the skin and muscles...
“Um……”
Thinking of this, Ai Luka hurriedly covered her mouth and lowered her head tremblingly. It seemed that this was about to become her eternal mental trauma...
"call!"
Almost at the same time, the torches that were originally burning around suddenly went out in an instant. In just a blink of an eye, everything in front of me completely fell into darkness. Then, suddenly, a series of strange laughter appeared from the darkness.
“Hahaha…haha…………………………”
The laughter was not very loud, and it even sounded like a baby's cry. However, in this dark environment where you can't see your fingers, this laughter made people feel even more strange. Then, blue fireballs, like ghost fire, suddenly emerged from the darkness and shot towards Feiren and others.
"careful!"
