Chapter 159 A Game Within a Game?

After looking around, he saw that the [Crab Spider Queen] was dead, and the other crab spiders were trembling on the spot, as if they had lost the will to escape.

Dick just waved his sword and killed the remaining crab spiders one by one.

Ignoring the cries for help from the miners who were still tied to the spider webs, he took out food from his pocket and chewed the food to replenish the energy he had just consumed.

I had given all the [Swallow Potion] to Love before, and I didn’t have time to replenish the potions yet, so the recovery of the injuries on my body was slower.

But after eating the food, Dick felt that most of his strength and energy had returned, and even his injuries had improved a lot.

Then he walked up to the eggs and snapped his fingers.

After a while, all these insect eggs were ignited by Dick and slowly turned into ashes.

During this period, Dick was not idle. Instead, he used a dagger to cut open the abdominal skin of these crab spiders, took out the yellow fat, wrapped it in oil paper, and put it in his pocket.

Insect-like biological oil is a good thing for making [Insect-like Sword Oil], so Dick will not miss it.

He came to the [Crab Spider Queen] again, trying to see if he could take away the metal-like shell on her body, but after cutting it with a dagger, the shell broke directly.

Dick sighed sadly:

It seems that after this monster died, it lost its previous defense capabilities;

Moreover, the silver on the body is scattered and is no different from ore. Even if it is taken out, you have to find someone to smelt it, which is extremely troublesome and the gain outweighs the loss.

He tentatively touched its crab limbs again and found that they were still extremely hard. Then he thought about it, maybe he could take this thing back and use it for other purposes.

After a while, he cut off the crab limbs and walked over to the miners.

The miner who asked for help before looked at Dick and laughed:

"Great, I know you are a demon hunter, let me out quickly."

Dick did not act first, but asked:

"You just knew that the Crab Spider Queen was hanging from the ceiling of the cave. Why didn't you remind me and instead yelled loudly? Didn't you know that doing so would alert these monsters?"

"Sorry, Demon Hunter, I didn't think much of it at the time. I just screamed out unconsciously when I saw you coming in.

"I really want to live, please forgive me."

Dick stopped talking after hearing this, and snapped his fingers again, burning the threads on his body.

The man immediately stood up, waved his arms and shouted: "Great, I finally survived!"

Then the man said with concern again:

"Master Demon Hunter, you just fought with those monsters. I see that you have been shaky. Are you okay?"

Dick pretended to be weak and said:

"My eyes are a little dark now. After I rescue the other people in a while, you have to help hold me up, you know?"

"I know, I know." The miner quickly agreed.

"By the way, your accent sounds like you're not from the North?"

"I am the Cato Warrior."

Dick hummed softly and slowly came to the other miner.

Seeing the miner looking at him expressionlessly, Dick did not snap his fingers, but ducked sideways. At the same time, he drew out the dagger from his waist and threw it behind him.

Behind him, the Cato miner raised a stone with both hands and prepared to throw it down, leaning back in disbelief.

Dick took a few more steps to come to him, ignoring the miner's grunting for help. He put his hand mercilessly on the dagger in his throat and twisted it hard until the miner's eyes were distracted and completely lifeless. Finally, he pulled out the dagger.

He wiped the blood on the dagger with the miner's dirty leather jacket, then turned around and walked to the remaining miners.

Seeing that the demon hunter in front of him showed no sign of weakness, he glanced over with his straight cat eyes.

The miners quickly lowered their heads, and no one dared to look directly into Dick's eyes.

"I went through all the trouble to save you, but no one warned me when the Nagato prisoners attacked me just now. You also want me to die?

"But I'm curious. After killing me, do you really think you can get out alive?

"A bunch of idiots!"

"Master Witcher.

A miner raised his head in fear, "Don't kill me, we were wrong.

"But we have all committed crimes. Even if you save us, after we go out with you, we will continue to mine here. Sooner or later, we will die of exhaustion. It is better to find a way out here underground, maybe we can still survive. ”

"The underground network is complicated, and the monsters inside are immeasurable. Even I can't guarantee that I can escape safely. Do you think you can find other ways out underground with just the few of you? What a joke!"

Seeing that these people did not dare to speak anymore, Dick looked at one of them and sneered: "What crime did you commit?"

"Actually, my crime is not serious. I just insulted a few little girls and then killed them."

"Scum!" Dick thought to himself, and looked at the other man coldly, "What about you?"

"Oh, I robbed a family and stole a few copper crowns, so I was sentenced to come here to mine!" the man said angrily.

Dick was surprised:

Could it be that there is an illegitimate son of Prince James in that family? This crime does not seem to be serious!

"I killed them again, and Duke Amara threw me into the mine just because of this.

"Thankfully, I used to be a soldier under him, but I just stole some money because of gambling.

"Besides, there are a lot of mud-legged people who die every year in the north due to wars and monsters! Can you still send me to kill this family?"

"Shut up!" Dick snapped.

The miner immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

It seems that this is also a scumbag. Dick looked at the last person again.

"Why did you become a miner!"

The man raised his head and said weakly: "Kasagatu!"

Yes, this should be a Gatu soldier who was captured not long ago.

Dick stroked his chin and said nothing. He just coldly swept his eyes over these people until they were about to collapse under Dick's stare. He said:

"Originally, I should have killed all of you scumbags, but who made me accept the commission of Mrs. Amara? Now I decided to let you live.

"Don't be happy first. You have to listen to me and follow me to climb up the rope one by one. If anyone wants to run, I will kill him, understand?"

"I know. "These people agreed.

Dick nodded with satisfaction, and cast the fire seal one by one to burn the restraints on them.

He wanted to kill these people and put an end to it.

But then he thought that the survival of these insects would be more painful and desperate than a quick death, so he gave up.

These people were obedient and followed Dick closely.

They probably understood at this time that there was no way to survive in this dark and cold deep underground.

It would be better to go back to mining, maybe after a few years, they can get free.

Although, this situation has never happened before.

But people always have to have some hope!

...

Outside the mine, Mrs. Amara and the soldiers were still waiting, and Vanessa on the side said anxiously:

"Mother, Dick has been in for so long, he won't be in trouble, right?"

"Don't worry," Mrs. Amara comforted, "Dick is strong, he will definitely come back safely."

As she spoke, a "trampling" sound came from the cave entrance.
