Chapter 12
The combat power of the underground people is actually not high, and it can even be said to be a little weak.

After all, with a height of only 1.2 meters, he is at a natural disadvantage in front of the average human height of about 1.7 meters.

But the underground people relied on their superb digging and tree-climbing abilities, as well as their exquisite shooting skills, so Thanos and others ran away with their heads in their arms.

And once in a closed space, such as an underground cave, even ten underground people can't beat a human warrior.

The underground man on the tree saw the enemy besieging ahead, and immediately jumped to the trees on both sides.

When Thanos saw Chidi and the others coming back, he didn't bother to say hello, but hurriedly shouted: "Quick, surround them, don't let them run away!"

The attack came too suddenly and by coincidence.

He had to figure out whether it was a coincidence, or someone was trying to harm him, or Peart ordered the underground people.

When Chidi and the others heard this, they immediately cooperated with Thanos and the others to separate and surround them under the tree.

And the surrounded underground people, after losing the space to dodge, began to be slowly killed one by one.

After half an hour, the encounter was finally over.

Only seven or eight underground people ran away, and the remaining more than 30 underground people were all killed, leaving only four alive.

Seeing the four trembling underground men lying on the ground, Thanos began to take a closer look.

These underground people are similar to humans, they also have two hands, two feet and one head, but they are short in stature, with gray skin, ears on the upper part, and a nose that looks a bit like a pig's nose.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

When the underground people saw that someone seemed to ask a question, they immediately chattered a lot.

It was only then that Thanos remembered the problem of the language barrier.

"There is no way to communicate, let's kill them all."

When Chidi heard this, she immediately nodded and drew out the one-handed sword in her hand.

"Yes."

The underground people saw that the human beings seemed to want to kill themselves, and immediately struggled to escape, but they were firmly suppressed by the soldiers behind them.

Soon, the remaining four underground people were dealt with.

After this sneak attack, a total of nine soldiers were killed, two were seriously injured, nine were slightly injured, and more than 30 underground people were killed at the same time.

With the end of the battle, Thanos' mood did not improve.

Before reaching Zixi Town, so many of his subordinates died, and this time the sneak attack by the underground people was obviously instigated by someone.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that they just happened to intercept them.

However, because the underground people ambushed in the wrong place, they didn't expect to rush forward, so it took a lot of time to dig through the tunnel and continue to launch a surprise attack.

And the man who instigated the underground was probably Peart.

After all, this is the only enemy I have in the general world.

But didn't the other party want to dig mines by themselves, so as to avoid the third-level wizard apprentice sent by Black Leaf Tower?
Is it a coincidence?
Or is there a reason I don't know about it?

There is too little information to continue the analysis.

Looking at the corpses around him, he said coldly, "Clean up the corpses of the war dead first."

Now is not the time to be safe, not the time to think about that.

After a few minutes, everyone packed up the corpses and moved on.

And after the sneak attack by the underground people, everyone was depressed and had no interest in chatting.

In this way, in silence, everyone passed through Hualuo Mountain.

For the next journey, Thanos did not encounter any accidents or attacks.

However, because he was delayed for more than two hours at Hualuo Mountain, it was already late at night when he crossed Menghua Town and arrived at Zixi Town.

At this time, the white full moon in the sky slowly revealed its head, giving the earth a slight light.

Looking at Zixi Town with the black leaf flag hanging in front of him, Thanos finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zixi Town was on the front line of the war with the aborigines, it was his first territory after all, so he always felt a sense of security.

So he reminded Sumante beside him to open the door, and then he looked at the town in front of him.

Although it is called a small town, the city wall of Zixi Town is more than three meters high, with four arrow towers at the four corners, and several soldiers guard the city wall.

And there were almost no lights in the town, so it was probably too late and everyone fell asleep.

Soon, information about Zixi Town flashed in his mind.

Although he only glanced at it briefly, his extraordinary memory still allowed him to remember it clearly.

According to official information, Zixi Town covers an area of ​​800 square kilometers, with a permanent population of about people. The main industry is the mine on Zixi Mountain, which is one kilometer away.

So even this mountain is named after Zixi.

The residents of Zixi Town are either miners or the industries around the Zixi Mine.

Such as alchemy, purification and so on.

As for farmers, there are very few of them.

This can be seen from the fact that there are not many fields outside the town.

But the lack of farmers has nothing to do with him, because his guarding task is to ensure that Zixi Town is not captured by the natives, and to ensure the convoy of the Zixi Mine.

It was stated in the mission that the mission would be completed only if the convoy of the purple tin mine transported every month was successfully delivered to Meck City.

In addition, he can also get two Black Leaf Tower points every day.

While Thanos was still thinking, Sumante had already come to Zixi Town with Thanos' letter of appointment.

"Listen up, people above. This is Lord Thanos, the new mayor of Zixi Town. This is the letter of appointment from Black Leaf Tower!"

When accepting the task, Master Mansta meant to use the word guard, but he was actually the mayor of Zixi Town.

After hearing what Sumant said, the guards immediately lowered a hanging basket.

Immediately afterwards, a rough voice sounded.

"Put the letter of appointment in the hanging basket, and let's take a closer look at the authenticity."
