Chapter 41 Prisoner
This stone city was completely different from what Wang Wujian had seen and heard in the past. When several soldiers pushed him into the huge gate, he thought he would see a small city that should be only the size of Shengwu City, but the actual situation completely exceeded his expectations.
Shengwu City is a series of rows of houses and buildings, but this dwarf stone city is composed of stone chambers, which are connected to each other by short tunnels.
As soon as you enter the gate, you will enter the largest cave in the city, where most of the city's guards live. The design and appearance of the whole stone room are mainly defensive, which is in line with the cautious style of the dwarf. They also use neat stone-built low walls to form countless walkways, intertwined with thicker high walls, which will trap the enemy for a long time.
In addition, there are stone steps of large and small, high and low, which are used to increase the distance from the gate to the interior. If an enemy attacks, although the cave is only more than 50 feet long, they have to spend several times more time and energy climbing between the stone steps to reach the range of attack, but during this period, it is short. People have enough time to transfer or attack.
Dozens of dark dwarves rushed through the sentry: a large group of martial arts were really escorted into the city.
The surrounding walls were immediately full of soldiers, crawling on the wall and looking down at human beings. Wang Wujian had a feeling of being fooled. The flames devoured his sight, making it impossible for him to see whether the expressions on the faces of these dwarves were curious or angry!
But no matter what, the dwarves around and on both sides are ready for weapons and T-shaped crossbows to deal with Wang Wujian and other people's every move.
The general Shi Shiling led Wang Wujian and his party to climb up and down the stone steps. Due to the large number of people and the cautious behavior of the dwarves, they walked almost three or four times faster than usual, which made all the members of the "monkey-driving team" extremely angry, because the dark dwarves kept coming out of the grottoes and pointing fingers at them. It's as amazing as seeing rare animals.
"Damn it!" Hou Aji blushed and cursed secretly. Although he was not tied up, he felt ashamed to be a prisoner for no reason.
Finally, they passed through the stone room. They walked in a specific tunnel, and they could see guards and patrolmen from time to time.
This tunnel is extremely strange, just winding and winding, and even turning back for a long time. Wang Wujian can only stare at the top of the cave so as not to lose his way, while others walk in the clouds and roar from time to time.
Wang Wujian smiled secretly, but he did not dare to show it on his face. He thought that anyone could be lost in this strange secret room until he was defeated by the dwarves.
After passing through a low and narrow passage, Wang Wujian and his party finally came to the real city.
It is much more spacious than the cave just now, but it is not so deep; there are stone steps everywhere, but there are not so many. There are hundreds of exits lined up on the walls on both sides, and many exits are brightly lit.
Most of the dark dwarves who passed through cast curious eyes on Wang Wujian and others, which made the young martial arts in an embarrassing situation more angry and ashamed. They couldn't wait to start a big war immediately to vent, even if they died in battle, they had no regrets.
Shi Shi'er walked in the front with his head held high. There were more than 50 soldiers between him and Wang Wujian. The road this time was very simple, because he no longer turned left and right. It can be said that the road was flat, and it led to a large stone castle in the center of the cave.
Before arriving at the stone castle, General Shi Shiling hurried over and said a few words to the guards at the door. One of them immediately rushed into the stone castle. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers with spears or T-shaped bows surged out of the stone castle, surrounding Wang Wujian and others.
"Bastard, what are you going to do?" Wang Wujian stared at the stone castle in front of him. Although he had not walked in, the haze inside was enough to make him sure that this was not the place where the dwarf Wang lived at all. From these extremely well-equipped soldiers, it could be seen that this should be a cage for prisoners!
"Didn't you take me to see the dwarf king?" Wang Wujian struggled to go to Shi Shi'er and question him, but he was quickly stopped by several dwarves with spears.
Shi Shi'er retreated a few steps back, and then shouted a few words at Sikong Zixian. These words made Sikong Zixian angry and his face turned pale.
"He asked us to stay here for the time being. They are going to hold an emergency meeting before deciding how to interrogate us." Sikong Zixian said.
Wang Wujian had already guessed this. At this moment, he smiled bitterly. If Shi Shi'er had been used as a handle to threaten the army to make way, maybe the situation would be much better than now. But now it's too late to say anything. Even if they leave, I'm afraid they will be lost in this labyrinth of stone city.
"If you come, let's take it easy. Let's see what tricks they can play?" Wang Wujian turned around and smiled at the others easily. He tried to keep himself calm to bring a little comfort to others.
Under the leadership of two rows of jailers, Wang Wujian and others were finally taken to the cell. Those are some round stone railing rooms with a diameter of about three feet. The room is very short and a little oppressive. There is nothing but a stone bench.
The "Monkey Drive Team" was divided into five groups of detention. Wang Wujian, the leader, was imprisoned alone and was firmly tied to every joint by the shackles on the stone bench, which made the companions in several other houses heartbroken.
The dwarf jailer's movements were not gentle. Wang Wujian trembled several times, but he always kept a kind smile on his face. On the contrary, the cruel jailer was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to untie him. He knew very well that since he was a prisoner, he should avoid all conflicts.
Finally, the big stone gate of the whole stone castle was closed with a bang, and the noise outside stopped abruptly. Wang Wujian glanced at his companions in several other rooms.
"Big boss, can you still laugh?" Hou Aji complained with a wry smile, "It's better to fight to the death!"
"Then we won't live until now." Wang Wujian replied with a smile, "Now we can still breathe normally. Except for the seizure of weapons, none of us has lost a hair. Are we not satisfied?"
His words immediately made most of his classmates happy. It was true. If they had fought with the dwarf army, they would have died under their poisonous arrows.
"Don't worry! Since they have the same wisdom as human beings, they must be reasonable, otherwise we can't live until now. Wang Wu's swordsmanship.
Others gradually relaxed and talked to each other in a low voice. Several girls cast concerned eyes on Wang Wujian, especially Sikong Zixian's more anxious performance. Yu Chiyan, who had always been cold, couldn't help showing worry and hatred for the dwarf when she looked at the chain tightly strangled Wang Wujian's body.
After appeasing everyone, Wang Wujian began to figure out his situation. He contracted his muscles and tried to make a gap between the shackles and his body, but unfortunately, of course, the chains on his waist and neck were tighter when he twisted his right hand to try to break free.
"Damn it!" Wang Wujian cursed silently. He even thought about escaping from here. He had a way to break free from the shackles of these chains, avoid the attack of poisonous arrows with the help of a cloak, and a way to get out of the winding stone city. However, he couldn't bear to abandon other companions. He had promised a promise to a single guest that he would bring back to the team completely. Therefore, he gave up his plan to escape, at least the current situation is better than he thought, and it is not the time to gamble.
I don't know how long it took for the stone door outside to be opened. Seven dark dwarves who looked old and had a high status came in. It is said that they are old because their faces are covered with countless folds, and their high status is because they all carry five dark and luxurious gems on their heads, and the general Shi Shi Shi is only one.
As they carefully looked at Wang Wujian and other prisoners in the cage, they whispered in their strange tone, and the room was suddenly in a mess.
After a while, a dwarf stepped forward and stupped and asked, "Are you, from Shengwu Academy?"
