Chapter 1339 Complex Dwarf, Split Personality!

The atmosphere became extremely tense, and tensions instantly rose on the platform.

Tiepi's throat was pinched by the hunting tiger like a plucked rooster, and he could only make a gurgling sound from his mouth.

"Put down Master Ironhide, or we will take action!" A dwarf standing in the front row waved a short knife and shouted at Ji Wuming.

They couldn't understand what Yehu had just said, so they could only save people by putting pressure on Ji Wuming.

However, the way this dog stopped shouting and came forward showed what all the dwarfs were thinking.

"Relax, relax, we haven't reached the point of life and death yet." Ji Wuming stepped forward and patted Yehu's arm, and quickly looked at Xiao Yang asking for help.

The latter shrugged, looking helpless.

After about ten seconds, Liehu relaxed his grip on his throat slightly, giving Tiepi a chance to breathe.

The dwarf struggled twice. Although the arrogance in his heart did not allow him to bow his head, the death threat that he almost went to see Tai Nai just now prevented him from resisting at all.

"Put...put me down, you...you can all go over."

"You, all of you, put down your weapons!"

The dwarfs behind reluctantly took back their weapons, and some of them glared at Hunting Tiger fiercely, as if complaining that he didn't take action to kill Ironhide.

"Captain Ironhide, I forgot to remind you that my bodyguard has a bad temper." Ji Wuming breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to help the dwarf up.

Tiepi snorted coldly, "Don't be too happy. I'm easy to talk to here, but... Tiesen has a much bigger appetite than me."

"I have a big appetite...at worst, why don't we change it to someone else?" Ji Wuming put away his smile and said coldly.

Scanned by his eyes, Ironhide suddenly stopped talking. When had he ever been so threatened by a human?

Although this fat man earns a lot, his status is not as high as expected.

"Just kidding, I actually like making friends."

Seeing that Tiepi was frightened, Ji Wuming smiled a little: "When you come out to hang out, you have to talk about your background and your strength. The Lord of Crespo is my friend. Who is your friend?"

Hearing this, Tiepi's face became even colder.

He was a squad leader who was bribed to come here, so he had no friends.

What's more, even if the consul Nanny knew what happened today, he probably wouldn't help him pursue the case.

This loss is in vain.

"Today was a bit unpleasant. I hope we can become friends in the future."

"I hope."

Tiepi's eyes flickered, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, the barrier blocking the way to the next section of culvert was moved away by the dwarf.

The door of the carriage was closed, and under the watch of Tiebai, the train began to chug forward again.

When the rear platform completely disappeared into the darkness, the people in the vehicle heaved a sigh of relief.

When Liehu picked up the iron sheet just now, everyone had only one thought in their minds: trouble.

As a result, I never expected that under the momentum of the hunting tiger, the dwarf actually gave in.

"Okay, don't be so nervous. These dwarves are not as strong as you think. Their ridiculous pride and arrogance will only show up when facing lower creatures. When they actually encounter predators, they are actually more powerful than you think." Every living thing must be humble."

Yehu acted indifferently, as if he had known about this a long time ago.

And so it is.

To say which alien race Tianyuan Territory has studied most carefully in the future ruins, it has to be the dwarves of all nations.

Somewhat different from the traditional image of dwarves in Western fantasy, the dwarves of all nations are actually full of divisions and complexity.

Dwarves specialize in the technical field, and their craftsmanship is enough to impress even humans.

This group of dwarves is basically immersed in the world of machinery and technology.

They continue to innovate and strive for excellence. No matter how harsh the environment or treatment, they can maintain their love and investment in craftsmanship, and their sincere heart to try and pursue the limit.

However, those dwarves who specialize in management, politics, and military affairs have a completely different picture.

They are greedy and their pursuit of power is almost pathological.

They are crazy, worship the strong and despise the weak. It seems that only by bullying others can they satisfy their deep sense of superiority.

Especially those noble dwarves who hold high positions, the behavior of this group of people is even more shocking, as if their nobility and authority can only be demonstrated through constant oppression and exploitation.

This extreme situation made it possible for the dwarves to use a lot of advantages, but they were still unable to develop them.

At a critical moment, someone is bound to pull something out of their pocket.

In the information about the dwarves, Soma naturally included all these characteristics.

That's why Yehu just dared to act so impulsively.

He was testing, but the answer was clearly right.

...

"Damn it, Captain Ironhide, are we going to die like this?"

"They are so arrogant, we must report them!"

"If you dare to resist our inspection now, will you replace us in the future?"

As the train went further and further away, it completely disappeared from sight.

The dwarfs who had been standing quietly on the platform seemed to be relieved of some kind of restraint, and suddenly they were in an uproar and started shouting.

Some people protested against the injustice, some complained about the attitude of hunting tigers, and some speculated on their purpose.

Ironpi frowned and listened for a while, and couldn't help but curse in his mind.

Not only was his position bought, but the garrison positions were also bought by the dwarfs present.

It's just that everyone's bid is different. If you bid low, you can only be an ordinary guard to get experience.

When you have enough experience (meaning enough money for bribes), you will have the opportunity to continue to climb up.

Of course, there is an exception.

That is him, the team leader Tiepi, died in an accident.

Then one of the dwarfs present can become the new team leader at a slightly lower price.

Or someone found evidence of his corruption and bribery and reported it to the archon. The archon intends to investigate, then the person who reported it can become the new team leader.

"Where's the photo ball? Give it to me." Tiepi walked out of the crowd and came to the guard room next to him.

The so-called photo ball is similar to surveillance, which can record things happening within a certain range.

Taking it from the dwarf on duty, Tiepi touched it.

Scenes began to flash on the photo ball, first the train appeared, then the dwarfs got on the train to check, and in the middle there was also a quarrel between him and Ji Wuming and bribery.

Of course, there is also the scene of him being held in the air by the tiger.

"God of the Dwarves, I will take revenge one day!"

After calmly deleting the bribery scene, Tiepi put the shadow ball into his pocket.

Although the scene of the tiger threatening him was embarrassing, it was not without value.

If Ji Wuming loses power in the next cooperation, these scenes will become the best threat tool.

By then, he will make the other party return the frustration today tenfold or a hundredfold!

...

Another half an hour passed.

The train arrived at the second checkpoint to Black Stone City, which is also the border of the dwarf territory.

The captain stationed here is called Tiezhan, but his performance is very different from Tiepi.

After receiving the bribe of five gold mines, Tiezhan did not even check it, let alone ask where Kus went, and directly issued an order to release it.

"Mr. Ji, please support and take care of me in the future."

Lifting the leather bag containing gold mines, Tiezhan's dark face was full of joy.

He is the man of the city lord Crespo, and knows much more than the stupid guy Tiepi.

If Ji Wuming reaches a deeper cooperation with Black Stone City in the future, the mineral resources transported through this line will be much more than before.

As the captain of the checkpoint, the bribes he can receive will naturally increase.

It would be a foolish idea not to take advantage of such a good opportunity to build a good relationship with Ji Wuming.

As for where Kus went and what the identities of the people in the carriage were.

Is it important?

The railway station does not think that just such a small number of people entering their hinterland can cause any waves.

Besides, before him, Tiepi had already checked the carriage and let it go.

If there is any accident at that time, just push it to Tiepi and it will be over.

"This is a wise choice. It won't take long before you are excited about your current choice." Ji Wuming looked at him with a smile.

The other party did not make things difficult, and he didn't have to deal with it.

Moreover, this place has already reached the dwarfs' control area. Once a conflict occurs, they will not be able to escape.

After passing the checkpoint on the border, the train is only about 100 kilometers away from the last Black Stone City.

In terms of traffic efficiency alone, this underground railway may not be as fast as building a road on the ground.

But one advantage is that there is no interference underground, and the probability of encountering enemy attacks is also small.

An hour later, when the train began to slow down.

The culvert was finally no longer dark, with a few sparks of fire, like a beacon for the lost, guiding the road ahead in the dark.

At the same time, the scale of the culvert was also expanding, like a huge underground maze. One after another, the rails converged from different directions, like the veins of the earth interlaced and extended in this underground space.

"My God, the person who built this must be a genius!"

Xiao Yang looked out for a few times and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although the dwarves' way of building underground railways is relatively old, it also has an irreplaceable advantage.

These winding underground culverts do not follow the principle of going straight. They can go wherever they want and turn however they want.

At this time, dozens of railroad tracks crisscrossed in the underground space. Some were close to the ground, as if extending under people's feet, and some were elevated in the air, hovering over people's heads like dragons.

From time to time, trains whizzed past these railroad tracks, or shuttled through the tunnels under their feet, or sped on the elevated roads above their heads, bringing gusts of wind.

As the main means of transportation for the Wan Guo dwarves, the hunting tiger was also a little shocked at this time.

But what he thought in his heart was a little different from others.

Others were sighing at the grandeur of the railway like an underground kingdom, but he was wondering if it could be replicated in Qinggang City.

If such a railway could be built between Pingtan Shelter and Tianyuan Territory, it would be too easy to transport materials between the two sides in the future.

Even if all the mole shelters in Sunny Harbor City are connected by this underground railway, wouldn't it be possible to directly skip the ground and build an underground transportation network?

Of course, we can still think about it in the long run.

Building roads or railways on the wasteland is not only unsafe, but also a problem of maintenance.

But if the transportation lines could be moved underground, wouldn't it be much easier to maintain?

Countless thoughts popped up in Yehu's mind, and the bald head's eyes became brighter and brighter.

At this moment, the train finally stopped on the platform.

Two teams of dwarfs wearing black and blue guard uniforms came up from the side to make a final inspection.

"Why is it just you, Kus?"

The dwarf captain in charge of the inspection, Ji Wuming, had never seen him before, so he could only tell the excuse he had told Tiepi before.

Unexpectedly, the other party was not surprised after hearing this and simply nodded.

This reaction made Ji Wuming prepare a lot of excuses before, but he couldn't come up with them all.

"Who are they?"

"My follower, this is my bodyguard. Our territory is not very safe recently. You must know the reason." Ji Wuming said solemnly.

The dwarf captain showed an expression of deep approval and nodded quickly.

"Kus has sent all the battle reports back. Human Sumo's fleet is indeed very powerful. I suggest you not to provoke him for the time being, otherwise we may have to change partners."

"It seems you know a lot."

Ji Wuming looked at the other party deeply, but the dwarf captain smiled and avoided his eyes.

The most important positions in Black Rock City are almost all owned by City Lord Crespo.

As dwarves airborne from the Royal Court, they know much more information than the natives of Black Rock City.

And they are much more skilled than the indigenous people in cooperating with humans.

"But they won't be able to stay around for long now. We are already preparing for a second counterattack. This time we will definitely let human Somo and his territory know how powerful they are." The dwarf captain sneered.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

Ji Wuming's heart moved when he heard this, and Xiao Yang also raised his eyebrows.

However, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not react obviously. The devil knew whether what the other said was true or false.

If you were just testing them, it would be too obvious to show curiosity.

"There are three carriages in total. In addition to the gold mine we agreed on, I also collected some unknown types of metal from outside. You can take a look first and tell me what kind you need."

"no problem."

The dwarf captain nodded and simply sent someone in to take a look around. There was no problem.

Eight hundred kilograms of gold ore can be smelted and forged into tens of thousands of dwarf weapons.

The remaining rare metals are piled up in a very messy manner, but the overall value is still much higher than that of copper and iron ore.

Then the dwarf captain asked someone to bring out a few gold-eating lizards from the side.

Compared with the small lizards used at the first testing station, these green-skinned lizards are obviously two times larger.

"Routine inspection, please forgive me."

I saw several lizards coming to the hunting tiger, but I dared not come forward to sniff them.

The dwarf captain was stunned and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He quickly stepped forward and whipped him twice with the whip on his waist.

This time the gold-eating lizard didn't dare to linger any longer and quickly stepped forward to take a sniff.

"No problem, please come."
