Chapter 2568 Earthworm
Chapter 2568 Earthworm
As one of the only two industries after [Woodlouse] settled in Anka Market, [Mountain Earthworm Excavation Farm] is far from comparable to [Music Field·Warm Cocoon] in terms of revenue. However, what is counterintuitive is that compared to the latter which is high-end, evil and luxurious enough, this excavation farm with remote location and harsh environment is the foundation of [Woodlouse].
The reason is very simple. Although the "amusement park" disguised as an inn can crush this excavation site in all aspects, the former is something that [Sootle] dare not have anything to do with. In other words, although he is the boss behind the site, as long as there is any problem in any link, he can distance himself from it as quickly as possible.
In fact, even Mo Tan and others who destroyed the evil nest with their own hands could not find any information that could directly point to [Woodlouse], the former owner of Hailan Pawn, 'Vito Theresa' and the current leader of the Unicorn Mercenary Group, 'Victor Grete'.
Whether it was the accounts and lists that could lead to countless villains, or the vast majority of accomplices whose minds were directly destroyed by Gu Xiaole through the "soul-searching technique", none of them could provide any evidence that could point to [Woodworm] himself.
In fact, if the hooded man had not directly pointed out the identity of [Woodlouse], Barbara, as a core member of his team, happened to go to Wenjian for fun yesterday, and was killed on the spot by Mo, and then was squeezed out of several key pieces of information including her direct leader by Gu Xiaole. Maybe until now, everyone would think that the mastermind behind the scenes was just a victim who was pushed out as a cover.
However, since Vito could always make a deal with [Lechang·Wenjian], it was impossible for him to take the risk of putting his real belongings and accumulations in the warehouse of [Hai Lan Pawnshop]. After all, there were too many things in there that could not be seen by the public.
Thus, the [Mountain Earthworm Excavation Field] came into being.
In addition to the most basic function of mining, this extremely hidden "secret place" that is no longer within the radiation range of Ankh's major forces also has a large number of additional functions, such as serving as a liaison station between [Soolice] and [Ms. Moth], a transit station for external support to enter Ankh, a private gathering place, a weapons workshop, a testing ground, a collection room, a vault, a warehouse, etc. It can be said that it is the foundation of Vito, the first-class deacon.
Of course, today, after Vito has completely raised the upper limit of his personal power through the organization [Unicorn Mercenary Group], and decisively abandoned the [Sea Blue Pawn] that he had used to hide his identity, the "foundation" of this mining site will theoretically be completely transferred within a few months to half a year, and eventually become a small base of extremely low value.
Unfortunately, just when the way forward became clear and the grand plan was about to begin, a team of adventurers who did not pose a big threat to Vito and who had a feud with Viper in the past changed everything.
It must be admitted that after listening to Kuang Dalei's introduction, Vito has raised his evaluation of the "Woof Wang Adventurer Team" as much as possible. However, even so, his long-standing worldview still cannot make him imagine that a team of adventurers with a strength limit of only high-level and extremely small size actually has two monsters that can use [Field] and [Inherent Barrier] respectively.
Not only that, the food in Ji Xiaoge's bag was either carefully cooked by herself, or the props were personally guided by Lu Wei or directly given to her; Yaya's unreasonable strength and physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary orcs and even ordinary intelligent races; Anthony Dabbs's levels, specializations and values pile up by constantly completing high-multiple daily tasks; all far exceeded the limits of normal NPC natives' imagination.
It's not that Woodlouse is ignorant, but before the players appeared in this world, any one of the "WoofWow Adventurer" team would never be able to serve as a regular component in a small adventurer team.
Apart from anything else, even if it was Wang Badan, who was at the bottom of the team due to his inability to activate his bloodline, even if we put aside the golden dragon bloodline in his body, his physical fitness, knowledge reserves and wisdom level alone were enough to make countless epic knights cry and beg him to be their partner for decades.
To give a simpler example, suppose Vito is a football coach who lives outside the game. He would naturally know the strength of those superstars, monsters and even historical players, but he could never imagine that the team of the neighboring X Middle School opposite his own club could have a player worth 20 million euros.
Indeed, let alone a player worth 20 million euros, even for those superstars worth hundreds of millions, as a professional coach he knows very well what their speed, skills, physical fitness, creativity and finishing ability are. But if he is asked to formulate tactics according to the opponent's players worth 20 million euros when preparing for the game against XX Middle School team... this is a bit nonsense.
In addition, the level of the intelligence source Kuang Dalei himself was not very good, and he did not have the observation and analysis capabilities of a professional player. Therefore, after a conversation between the two, Vito immediately attached great importance to the "Paw Patrol Adventure Team", regarded it as the "ceiling among the same type of adventurer teams", and planned targeted measures against it.
Then there is no more then.
Before [Woodworm] could launch his so-called method, the Wangwang Adventurer Team that sneaked out of Anka Market quietly took away [The Amusement Park·Warm Cocoon] with several young men from [The King of Destruction Mercenaries].
They were slaughtered from top to bottom, leaving no one to breathe except the victims.
To be honest, if the surveillance personnel sent by [Puppet], [Black Wolf] and [Wildfire] were not inside the amusement park, but were observing from a distance at regular intervals, not to mention [Woodlouse], even the other three first-class deacons who had been lurking in Anka Market for many years would not have been able to rely on their sixth sense to imagine that the place had been attacked by Mo Tan and his group when there were not a single survivor.
Therefore, they relied on Gu Xiaole's unreasonable spiritual power to tear apart the mystical disguise of the [Mountain Earthworm Excavation Site] and rushed directly in. The managers and security personnel who had not received any news of the incident died extremely easily.
After all, in front of the Paw Patrol led by Mo Tan and Gu Xiaole, these people whose strength is even two levels lower than that of [Lechang Wenjian] are no different from waiting to be killed no matter how hard they resist.
It's not that [Woodie] doesn't pay attention to safety, it's just that the location of the excavation site he uses as his base is too hidden and the camouflage is extremely sophisticated. Even if he really encounters some wild good guys passing by, he can easily pretend to be a legitimate excavation site, and there is no need to invest too much precious energy.
After all, compared to the other three veterans, the power in [Sootle Bug]'s hands is indeed very limited, otherwise he wouldn't even have an epic that he can call upon at any time.
However, if it were some time ago, there were still about fifty good players from the Unicorn Mercenary Group stationed here who were ready to take the place of others. But now that the replacement is completed, there are only a few capable players left here.
Of course, although the people who stayed here were not good at fighting, after Gu Xiaole used several Shikigami to conduct a detailed investigation, he found that each of these people had killed at least twenty hard laborers, and there was only one fate for the remaining personnel.
……
"No! No, please, please, don't kill--"
The lizardman supervisor, who had beaten a female orc laborer to death with an iron whip half an hour ago, retreated in panic. However, just as Mo Tan gently pushed out the sword with his thumb and was about to kill him, the man was swallowed up by a ghost fire that suddenly ignited at his heart, wailing and turning into a human-shaped blood charcoal.
Mo Tan took his hand off the hilt of the sword and turned his head slightly. He cast a probing look at the great Yin-Yang Master beside him and asked softly, "Sister Xiao Le?"
"You didn't see the beast screaming and beating the laborer to death."
Although the inherent barrier of the Samurai Souls was doubly depleted, Gu Xiaole still looked normal and did not seem to be under any pressure. He smiled and fanned himself with [Black Hina: Divination] while saying casually, "Sister, I will have less psychological burden when I take action."
Mo Tan then realized the latter's good intentions and smiled. He then slowly walked forward and pushed open the door that had no additional defense measures. The next moment, he and Gu Xiaole both took a breath of cold air.
"すごい!"
Looking at the countless scrolls, crystals, alchemical tools, and even a large number of things that he could not see the use of in the warehouse, which could not be stored in regular storage equipment due to their own characteristics, Gu Xiaole suddenly let out a light cry and said with emotion: "I used to let the shikigami drill into places with a breath of life, but I didn't expect to miss such a powerful place!" "It seems that the [Solphin] has accumulated a lot in Ankh over the years."
Mo Tan walked to a large wooden box and picked up a silver bracelet that seemed to be placed randomly on it. After briefly checking the valuables inside, his eyes focused slightly and he said softly, "A rough estimate shows that even if it is not an astronomical figure, it is a huge sum of money that can directly buy out several medium-sized chambers of commerce."
Gu Xiaole, who didn't really care about such material things, nodded slightly and added subconsciously: "But this is not clean money. God knows how much of it was squeezed out of that 'amusement park'."
Mo Tan nodded and said softly, "I understand."
"Ah, although, according to the rules of our industry, this kind of stolen money, no matter where it comes from, is now considered our property!"
Suddenly remembering that everyone's 'conditions' didn't seem particularly good, Gu Xiaole, who had spent the past two days cramming knowledge on 'adventurers' and 'mercenaries', immediately made up for it loudly, saying quickly: "Besides, we did one... two... uh, several great things this time, so we can definitely take these rewards with peace of mind!"
However, Mo Tan remained silent and shook his head. Relying on his own gaming experience over the past six months, he simply completed an estimate of the warehouse and said softly, "Although I haven't discussed it with everyone yet, I don't plan to take too much from it."
"Eh?"
Gu Xiaole was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Mo-chan, are you ready to donate?"
"No, I just want to make sure the legacy of the [woodlouse] is properly dealt with."
Mo Tan sighed and did not put the valuables into the player's bag, which was of extremely high status and could hold almost anything except living things. Instead, he turned and walked out of the warehouse: "In short, the last threat has been eliminated. Let's go and meet up with Ye Ge and the others first."
Gu Xiaole nodded vigorously, followed Mo Tan with his hands behind his back, and said with a teasing smile: "Mo-chan, you really care about the little pigeon~"
"Ah."
Mo Tan knew very well that Gu Xiaole knew about their online relationship and did not hide it. He just nodded and said, "That's right."
“Haha, that’s great.”
Gu Xiaole covered her face with a fan, and walked side by side with Mo Tan, who was careful about her pace, while smiling and repeating in a low voice: "It's great."
……
five minutes later
[Mountain Earthworm Excavation Site], Basement 1, Miners' Hall
"silent!"
Ji Xiaoge landed lightly in front of her beloved, looked him up and down carefully, and after confirming that her knight was intact without even a scratch, she breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Ya Ya, Anthony Dabbs, and I have followed Miss Xiao Le's dog ghost cutie to find all the hard laborers. Except for those who... have no choice, we have gathered here a total of 140 people."
Mo Tan nodded and looked around at the people sitting obediently in the shadows, holding the food that Ji Xiaoge and Dabus had just given them, with dazed eyes and wooden expressions.
"Is it always like this..."
Subconsciously clenching his fists, it took a long time for Mo Tan to suppress the anger in his heart. He sighed and asked, "Have you found someone with whom you can communicate a little?"
"There was a pair of brothers who were just sent here. Although they were a little dazed, they were able to say a few words to us."
Dabus, who had just walked over, patted Mo Tan on the shoulder and said seriously: "Combined with what those two people told us before they fell unconscious, the hard labor in this excavation site is generally divided into two types. The first type is smaller in number and is basically abducted here by force. The second type is the consumable labor force raised within Viper..."
Mo Tan frowned and asked, "What do you mean by consumable labor?"
"I'm just guessing."
Dabus sighed silently and pointed in a certain direction: "See those big guys?"
"Is that... an ogre?"
"Yes, they are ogres like me and Dabus, and these ogre slaves account for 40% of all the hard labor."
"and then?"
"I checked. Unlike many other laborers, they were not forced to take any drugs. However..."
"but what?"
"They don't have a correct...or normal understanding of the world."
