Chapter 984: Battle for the Tower (XVIII)

After the supervisor left, almost all the slaves lay on the ground in despair. Everyone felt that this was an impossible task and they would definitely be thrown into the lava. But at this time, Batman threw the dwarf demon in his hand out and said to him before throwing him out:

"Go, shout as loudly as you can, and focus everyone's attention on me."

The dwarf demon was thrown to the ground with a "bang" and fell flat on his face. But when he looked back and saw Batman's threatening eyes, he still tried his best to do it, jumping and shouting on the spot until all the demons focused their attention on Batman.

After making sure that the supervisor had gone far away and that the group of beholders didn't seem to care about the actions of the slave miners other than mining, Batman jumped onto the mine cart and saw that everyone looked up at him. He said in a deep voice:

"If you want to survive, do as I say. It's not impossible to mine two cars in one night."

As soon as he said this, all the demons stared at him. Batman looked up at all the minerals in the mine and said

"At present, all the minerals on the surface of the mine are enough to fill these two mine carts, but the premise is that we must mine every corner of the mine without leaving any out."

After hearing what he said, some old miners also began to look at the situation in the mine. From the initial shock, they were After they recovered from their fear, they began to talk in low voices:

"It seems to be true. As far as I know, although our mine is in the shallow layer, there are many minerals. If we can mine them all, we may be able to fill it up."

"Impossible, even if we can mine all the minerals on the rock wall, what about the ones above our heads? We don't have flying demons here, what should we do with the ores above our heads?"

"Maybe we can try. Even if we can't fill it up completely, as long as we work hard, maybe they will let us go because of our good results?"

"Yes, yes, I really don't want to be thrown into the magma, please!"

"Be quiet." Batman said again: "As long as you are willing to listen to me, I promise, absolutely The mission can be completed."

"Indeed, it is difficult to mine the top of the mine without someone who can fly, but it is not impossible. But first, we need to start working immediately and mine all the available ores."

Batman glanced at all the demons, his brain working quickly, and then said: "The previous way of working was too inefficient. Now, I will redistribute the work, and everyone will listen to my command. You will mine whichever group of mines I tell you to mine, and you will mine however I tell you to mine..."

"If someone doesn't obey orders, everyone may die. Whether you believe it or not, I am the only one who can save you now. If you understand, start!"

"All red-skinned people Trolls, take your tools and go to the edge of the mine. Stand in the directions with the most ore. Work in groups of three to mine large ores together..."

"All the dwarf demons form a circle of five and stand next to the trolls. Pick up the ore as soon as it falls."

"The thallium demons line up in a straight line to transport the ore..."

"Pay attention. Don't mine the shadow ore at the edge of the east and west directions of the mine. Don't move... That shadow monster, yes, that's you. Come here and stand here. I have other tasks for you..."

Under Batman's arrangement, the entire mine was running in an orderly manner. Under the pressure of death, everyone was obedient and worked hard. After all, demons are chaotic, cunning, and evil, but they are also afraid of death.

Moreover, when intelligent life is in a panic, it often instinctively relies on those with the loudest voices. Regardless of whether what they say is right or not, as long as they can point the way for everyone, they will naturally take the lead. Batman is like this.

Before Batman changed the rules of mining in the mine, the demons would randomly find a rock layer with exposed minerals and start digging. After digging, they would put the ore in a basket next to them and then carry it to the mine cart to dump it out.

This would cause a big problem. The dwarf demons could not dig the ore and could only send a little slag each time. Although the trolls dug a lot of ore, they moved slowly. It took enough time to send a basket to knock out two ore.

Batman clarified the division of labor for everyone, from individual work to collective collaboration, and efficiency quickly improved.

The mine was in full swing. The trolls kept repeating the action, using their strong arms to break the rocks. The dwarf demons flexibly shuttled under the feet of the trolls, picked up all the fragments and threw them to the thug demons.

The lower body of the serpent demon is a snake tail, and the upper body also has human arms. They can bend their tails and then bounce to a very high place, and their speed is also very fast. They often hold the basket of ore on their heads, jump up, smash directly into the mine cart, and then climb out.

There are also various demons with shorter statures but who can use tools. They are responsible for the smaller minerals in the rock formations, and pick out the fragments in the gaps or corners that the trolls cannot enter, put them in the basket, and transport them to the mine cart.

As time went by and they got closer to the death line, everyone moved faster and faster.

Just when there were more than two hours left before the death line, the demons finally dug up all the ores except the minerals on the top of the mine.

Now, one and a half of the two carriages were filled, but the other half was empty. At this time, all the demons set their eyes on Batman. They didn't know what other methods this magical human could come up with to dig down the minerals from such a high place.

The whole cave was very large, and the top of the cave was also very high. There were many spikes like stalactites hanging down. There were many well-developed minerals growing around it. If they could knock them all down, it would be more than enough to fill half of the car.

At this moment, Batman took a step back. A shadow monster that looked exactly like Hexagon came forward tremblingly. He said in a trembling voice: "You...you all hide behind, hide in the tunnel. I didn't say it, so don't show your head..."

All the demons were a little confused and looked at each other, not knowing what to do, but some old miners seemed to have thought of something. They waved their hands and said: "Follow me! Go into the tunnel! Everyone retreat to the innermost!"

The demons entered the passage sparsely, and Batman also followed the demons into the nearest tunnel, but he did not retreat in, but stood at the entrance to observe the situation.

The shadow monster squinted his eyes hard, and suddenly let out a silent scream, the sound waves spread, blowing away the smoke and dust, and all the demons instinctively covered their ears.

In an instant, the tentacles of the shadow monster spread out, turning into a terrifying tentacled giant shadow, but what was more terrifying than him were two groups of shadow vines that erupted from the corner of the mine.

The shadow vines surged out at lightning speed. In just a few seconds, countless vines swept every corner of the mine. The vine storm was like a hurricane passing through the sea, raising waves that no one could stop, and the entire mountain began to tremble.

Two or three minutes later, the chaos gradually disappeared, and the shadow vines retracted into the ore. The first demon who rushed out shouted:

"Ore! It's all ore! Look, the ground is full of ore!!!!"

The demons filed out and looked at the glittering ore on the ground in shock. When they looked up again, the stalactite-like spikes had disappeared, and most of the cave ceiling was covered with traces of vines whipping.

The huge dark red giant swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "Oh my God, is the shadow vine so strong? They knocked down all the ore in an instant..."

Next to him, an old and wrinkled thrush sighed and said: "This reminds me of the vine disaster. Even the powerful demon lord couldn't deal with the underground shadow vines that united into a whole..."

Batman was not surprised when he walked out of the cave. He had noticed the unusualness of the shadow vine.

One of the clues was that when he treated Hexagon, he found that the black mist on Hexagon's tentacles had a very special property, just like the shadow ore, tough, stable but without any weight.

Batman's gauntlet could not cut through the black mist at all. At the same time, the tentacles seemed to be able to extend infinitely. Except for flames and heavy blows, knife and axe slashing had no good effect.

After discovering this magical property, Batman focused on asking about the habits of the six-cornered shadow vine. According to six-cornered, this plant is very magical. When they live on the ground or the mountain, they do not occupy any space, do not need nests and residences, and are attached to the surface of minerals like real shadows.

But if they are transformed into entities, they can be extended indefinitely. The greater the stimulation, the faster the explosion speed and the more violent the explosion force.

And six-cornered also told Batman a secret, that is, the shadow monsters born from the shadow vines can not only appease the shadow vines, but also stimulate the plants in turn, causing them to explode in an instant.

Afterwards, Batman gave six-cornered a plan, asking him to use the characteristics of his shadow monsters to stimulate the shadow vines and punish the lava demons who bullied him. At the same time, this also provided Batman with a good opportunity to observe this plant.

After confirming that the shadow vines were indeed as six-cornered said, and that they could cause huge damage in a short period of time, Batman also observed another detail, that is, the whip in the supervisor's hand was likely related to the shadow vines.

The shadow vines are black, and when they erupt, they are like a black wave, but at the point of the eruption, Batman can see a green light.

This green light reminds Batman of the Green of All Things that once descended on Gotham. He thought that all plants in the universe were under the jurisdiction of the Green of All Things, so it is very likely that the shadow vines are also in this category. The reason why the whip can cause such great damage to the demons may be because of the power of the Green of All Things.

The outrageous workload requirements of the demon overseers gave Batman another opportunity. He found that the method used by the monsters to stimulate the shadow vines seemed to have nothing to do with magic or mysticism, but to use a certain sound frequency.

Batman thought he had grasped the key, but at this moment, the death line finally arrived. After pouring the last basket of collected minerals into the mine cart, the supervisors walked in aggressively.

After seeing two full carts of ore, the supervisors were stunned.

"How is this possible??!!! You stupid slaves, how could you really finish it in one night..."

"Damn it! Someone must have cheated!! The miners under that idiot Claude can't be so hardworking, come out! Come out!"

"I can't let Claude beat me! Our Fourth Mountain is the mine that General Rotten Heart values ​​the most. The Central Mine has so many minerals but has occupied it for so many years. Claude must give way!"

The leading demon swung his whip viciously and said, "Take them all away and throw them into the magma! There is a group of slaves in the Central Mine who have not completed their mission. Kill them all!"

Batman, standing behind the mine car, narrowed his eyes. It turned out that this outrageous work requirement was not caused by the supervisors going crazy, but was related to the internal struggle of the power level of the mine.

It seems that this big supervisor named Claude has been occupying the Central Mine, which has caused dissatisfaction among the supervisors of other small mines. They want to join forces to kill all the slaves in the Central Mine so that Claude can't complete the mission.

In this case, if the slaves were thrown into the lava and delayed the progress of General Corrupted Heart, then the fate of the great overseer named Claude could be imagined.

Just when the overseers were trying to catch people viciously, a figure wearing a black cloak jumped onto the highest mound in the center of the mine, and his voice echoed in the mine:

"Stop, you can't take anyone away from here!"

Batman looked down at the strong demon overseers and said, "This is neither fair nor just... Stop what you are doing and let them go!"
