Chapter 97 Wait or Attack?

Ah?

I was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Peat, are you trying to trick me to death?

I frowned slightly, my expression was stagnant, and I looked like I couldn't laugh or cry. The corners of my mouth twitched several times, and I said in a trembling voice, "You forgot to bring it over?"

Princess Aurora was full of apologies and even said sorry: "I didn't mean it. I saw you unconscious there and I was just trying to save you. I didn't notice your weapon. I'm sorry..."

Mi Lulu rolled her eyes at me: "Why are you so ungrateful? Princess, she saved you..."

"Hey, forget it." I waved my hand, raised the corner of my mouth, and showed a helpless smile, and said: "Don't take it too seriously. I'm very grateful that you saved me. As for the weapon, just get it back." Well."

"By the way, I forgot to ask, where is this place?" I walked around. Judging from the environment, it should still be on the thirteenth floor, but I had never been to such an open space before, and it looked very strange. .

"This is the corner of the cave on the thirteenth floor," Aurora said, "We have been hiding here for more than two days."

"How much supplies do you still have?" I asked, "How long can it last?"

Aurora glanced at the dwarf not far away, and a bearded man stood up: "The supplies are enough to last four days. If we save more, it should be enough for six days."

"Do you have information about the people who are chasing you and the general location of the ambush?"

"No." Mi Lulu shook her head regretfully: "Their attack was sudden and violent. We had no chance to fight back. We were chased miserably. There were also deadly traps on the road. Not only did we fail to catch them, but we can ask questions." He was a prisoner of words and lost two companions.”

"That's right." I nodded, my eyes flashed suddenly, and I asked, "Where were your two companions broken?"

"The first companion probably fell into the trap while exploring the cave we were walking in." Mi Lulu's eyes were filled with sadness: "The second companion was shot dead by the pursuers not far from the trap. "

I fell into thinking: If she remembered correctly, the dwarf corpse in the eighth cave should be the first companion that Mi Lulu and the others lost. However, I did not find any corpses on the several roads I came in after. , was it disposed of by the other party? Or did I not pass by the place where the body fell?

"Mi Lulu, where was the place where you lost your second companion? Where is the trap?"

"An Xiaoyi" Aurora couldn't bear it. She had just lost her comrade, and Mi Lulu's sad mood had not completely calmed down. I brought it up again for unknown reasons, which was like adding salt to the wound.

However, before I spoke, Mi Lulu shook her head first, with a hint of sadness in her tone: "I'm fine, princess."

She turned her head and then said to me: "That trap was the one that caused us to lose our first companion. It was not far from the entrance of the cave. The second companion was shot ten meters in front of the trap.

After hearing this explanation, I frowned: there is no doubt that the first companion died in the trap, but since their second companion was shot, there must be blood flowing out of the wound. Then there will definitely be traces and a faint smell left on the ground. Ever since I encountered the first trap, I have been on high alert. Whether it is a piece of soil or a grain of sand, I will observe it with extreme caution before continuing. While moving forward, I didn’t see any traces of blood.

In this case, there are only two possibilities: first, those people disposed of the body of the companion who was shot, and at the same time, they cleaned up the blood stains on the ground; second, the companion who was shot was not alive at all. He is just cheating his death, he is the traitor of this team.

If it is the first case, there must be traces of cleaning on the ground, as well as a layer of fine sand used to fake the scene, but based on my experience, these two details have not appeared, that is to say , the probability of the first possibility is very low.

Then, this is the second possibility.

My expression became serious, and a feeling of conspiracy came over me.

"What's wrong?" Aurora asked cautiously when she saw my unkind expression.

"It's okay." I sighed and changed the topic: "Does your father have any enemies in Airui City? In other words, has your father ever told you not to have contact with any kind of people?"

Aurora thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

"Who is it?"

"Father, he won't let me get too close to the human nobles, saying that I will be led astray by them."

Forehead..

I feel ashamed, this dwarf king is really prejudiced against human beings.

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

Aurora thought about it again and said, "Father, he told me to stay away from those who like sweet talk, saying that I would suffer."

I covered my face, very helpless, and my voice trembled: "This, this doesn't count, is there anything else?"

Aurora thought about it again, and finally shook her head: "No more."

I sighed: There is no useful information at all. It seems that we can’t start in this direction. At the moment, the simplest and clearest way is to grab the tongue and torture it to extract a confession.

After making up my mind, I said to her: "Let's get out of this place."

"Go out?" Aurora hesitated: "Now?"

I nodded: "Is it now, or will your reinforcements come?"

Aurora stopped talking. After the rest of the dwarves heard the word 'get out', a burst of whispers broke out in the camp:

"There are so many enemies outside, it's better not to go out yet."

"Who knows how many dragnets those hateful humans have set up outside? If we go out, we might be completely wiped out!"

"In a few days, our dwarf guild will send troops to rescue the princess. No, I think they must have taken action now."

"Damn humans, we dwarves are so hospitable and hospitable, but you treat us like this. When I go out, I will definitely poop and pee in the river where you drink water!"

"How dare you say shit and pee in front of the princess?"

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Hey, princess, are you dwarves so timid and afraid of getting into trouble?" I was really troubled by the whispers and asked unhappily.

"No, we are not timid, but cautious," Princess Aurora explained: "We will not throw our lives here casually, we do not want to lose any of our brothers and sisters."

"Wait a little longer." Princess Aurora said sadly: "We wait a little longer, the dwarf guild will not give up on any of our compatriots."
