Chapter 52: Taking advantage of the dangers of others, the world-devourer Angron!
"What does the owner of this cage cave want to do? He has collected and imprisoned so many dark creatures. Could it be that he wants to open an exhibition of dark creatures?"
After embarrassingly discovering that his lively joke failed to make any of his companions smile, Bilbo, the only one in the team who still maintained an optimistic attitude, became completely depressed.
However, perhaps his words broke the long silence in the cave, and many prisoners trapped in the cage cast inquiring glances at him.
There was a clanking sound, and a green-skinned goblin in a black iron cage was the first to speak:
"Oh, strangers who suddenly appear, you have no idea how much disaster the place you are in will bring to you! Believe me, what is waiting for you is definitely more terrifying than death!"
Seeing the green-skinned goblin's shocking words full of treacherous qualities, whispers immediately broke out in the team of dwarves.
"No need to threaten us, Goblin. I already know where this is - this is the food storage room of Big Golden Tooth, and it is also the prison where you prisoners are imprisoned! All of you here are the food reserves of Big Golden Tooth.
Am I right?!"
Even with the teleportation scroll, everyone still hasn't escaped from the territory of the cruel and terrifying group of ogres?
As soon as this news came out, the dwarves immediately panicked. They never wanted to experience the thrilling experience of hanging by a thread just now.
"Yes, smart human. It seems that you are much smarter than the short dwarves over there! So do we want to make a deal? You let us out, and I can share with you a secret to escape.
road."
The green-skinned goblin's provocative words, which can be called height discrimination, made the dwarves furious. Judging from their angry postures, it seemed that they were ready to put an ax into the cage and kill the goblin.
Roar--
Just when the green-skinned goblin tried to seduce everyone to rescue him from the iron cage, the one-eyed dragon in the cage that originally occupied the largest area let out a huge dragon roar as if waking up from a deep sleep.
The roar of the dragon was so loud that it echoed along the stone wall and rushed out of the corridor - and this happened to attract a small group of ogre guards passing by.
Gudong, gudong...the series of muffled sounds unique to the ogre's big feet trampling on the ground, now sounded to the dwarves as heavy as trampling on their hearts.
In a hurry, everyone quietly picked up the weapons at hand. They held their breath and were ready to give these big guys a head-on blow as soon as the ogre's soles stepped into the cave.
One step, two steps, three steps... The tall and fat body of the ogre finally appeared in the cave.
What awaits them is a petrified gaze that suddenly solidifies into the true form of the basilisk from a twisted shadow!
Bang bang bang, after three heavy falling sounds in succession, this ogre guard team of only three people was completely wiped out.
Seeing Gu Xiaoheng controlling the basilisk and killing a small group of ogres instantly upon meeting, many ogres and minotaurs in the iron cage who had turned a blind eye to Gu Xiaoheng raised their heads and stared at Gu Xiaoheng's face with interest.
stop.
"Huh——" As for the green-skinned goblin who first talked to Gu Xiaoheng, he also breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Gu Xiaoheng and his group did not attract more enemies.
Just when all the prisoners were still thinking about what to do next, they saw Gu Xiaoheng repeating his old trick and casting the "Stone Dunk Out" spell on the three petrified ogre corpses.
When the three stone sculptures rumbled to their feet again and stood guard at the door loyally as puppet guards controlled by Gu Xiaoheng at will, the green-skinned goblins and many prisoners who saw this strange scene couldn't help but be stunned.
For a moment, they only felt that their group really had a chance to escape from this damn prison, instead of being kept in an iron cage by the ogre as a toy for fun and a food reserve ready to be cooked at any time.
Being in constant panic all day long.
"Please, smart and wise human. Please save me and this stupid green-skinned orc out first! Not only do we know a safe secret passage to the outside, but we can also swear to be your servants forever." The green-skinned goblin
His expression was extremely humble, even a bit groveling.
The dark creature prisoners in the cage on the other side were undoubtedly driven by the hope of survival at this moment and made various promises to Gu Xiaoheng. For example, they bowed their heads, offered treasures, etc...
Faced with all the temptations, Gu Xiaoheng smiled indifferently. He knocked on the cage containing the one-eyed flying dragon in a hurry and asked to the beast in the cage:
"What about you, what do you say?"
What responded to him was the one-eyed flying dragon with a pair of golden vertical pupils showing a helpless look.
"Human, let me go free, and I owe you a favor!"
Just when everyone, including Gandalf, wanted to remind Gu Xiaoheng that the cunning dragons could not be trusted, they saw Gu Xiaoheng pull out Frostmourne neatly and give the one-eyed flying dragon a heart-warming blow through its open mouth.
Poof - countless amounts of dragon blood splashed out from the long neck of the one-eyed flying dragon that refused to rest in silence.
[Ding! Congratulations on your understanding and successfully killing the only "unrecruitable" (seriously injured) hybrid dragon LV.41 "One-eyed Dragon" among the prisoners present. You have gained 45,000 experience points! 】
"Sorry, I was just asking. After all, of all the prisoners present, you are the only one who has been reminded by the system not to recruit...If you are not sincere, don't lie to others!"
In the shadows, the basilisk that activated Slytherin's blessing lingered behind Gu Xiaoheng. After such a terrifying intimidation, the other surviving prisoners who were present could not help but feel awe.
"Now, I think we can talk about the terms, right?"
As soon as Gu Xiaoheng said these words, the whole place was silent. Even the dwarves who had not expected that things would develop like this were completely stunned.
As the leader of the dwarves, Thorin could hardly sit still at this moment. He didn't trust any dark creatures, and he couldn't imagine that Gu Xiaoheng, who had shown a very sense of justice along the way, would do anything to discuss cooperation with the dark creatures and start from here.
The decision to escape.
Just when Thorin was about to stand up and oppose Gu Xiaoheng's negotiation decision, an unexpected person stood up and stopped him.
"Gandalf?" Thorin was confused when he saw Gandalf's wand blocking his way, preventing him from taking any further step.
The wise wizard said with profound meaning: "I believe in the Eternal Baron. What's more, if we want to escape from the ogre army, we must unite all the forces that can be united! Just with the strength of the team,
Thorin, don’t you think it’s enough to have more manpower?”
Hearing this, Thorin fell silent.
On the other side, Gu Xiaoheng was observing every prisoner in the cage without any rush, just like Jiang Taigong sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The system task panel hanging high in front of him was shining brightly at the moment, and an incredible limited-time plot mission was waiting for him.
And this was the unexpected surprise that the system had previously promised him as one of the rewards for his escape mission!
[Dark Covenant - Prisoner of the Ogre Story Limited]
Mission distance and disappearance time: 25 minutes and 14 seconds (regardless of failure or not, the pursuing troops of the ogre tyrant Golden Fang will discover your traces by then!)
Warm reminder from the system: You can take advantage of the urgency of survival of these dark creature prisoners and sign a master-servant contract with them to gain their loyalty! (Please note that Maeve, who has the inheritance of Seraph, has mastered a master-servant from the highest heaven.

——————
"Have you not made a decision yet? Green-skinned goblin, what do you say?" Gu Xiaoheng took the initiative to ask the green-skinned goblin who was suspected of controlling the exit tunnel.
Unexpectedly, the green-skinned goblin who was very eager to make a deal at the beginning hesitated for some reason.
Behind him, a tall green-skinned orc stood up and yelled at Gu Xiaoheng wildly:
"Don't bully Skarsnik. If you threaten me, come to me, Grimgor Ironhide!"
Skarsnik, Ironhide? Aren't these the names of the two legendary green-skinned orc warlords who brought harm to the Warhammer Empire?
Damn it, why did these two warmongers appear here, in the prison of the ogre tyrant Golden Fang?
Listening to these two familiar names, the expression on Gu Xiaoheng's face became very exciting.
"Enough!!" A roar came from the big cage where the ogre was, and a figure shorter than the ogre but much taller than an ordinary human stood up from the cage.
The strange thing is that even the legendary orc warlord "Iron Skin", who in Gu Xiaoheng's impression was fearless, trembled instinctively after hearing the roar of this tall figure.
Even though he was in a prison, this tall human, who looked like he was not a member of the ogre race, was respected by the other ogre prisoners around him like a king.
As soon as he took a few steps, all the ogre prisoners spontaneously divided into two rows, like guards or devout believers, lowering their heads to show respect to him.
When his large human forehead finally emerged from the shadows, the system notification sound in Gu Xiaoheng's ears was already blasting like a broken siren.
[Discovered NPC with demigod qualifications! What you are facing now is the ogre "Butcher's Nail" tribe leader "World Eater" Angron! 】
In fact, looking at the tall human man in front of him, Gu Xiaoheng, a time traveler, could recognize the name of the man in front of him without any systematic introduction, as well as the terrifying achievements he was about to achieve in the future.
Angron, the "World Eater", is as terrifying and invincible as his name. His future achievements are so powerful that even the Golden Fang who unified the Ogre Kingdom will look like a scumbag compared to him.
