Chapter 15 is all about you, Summoner.
"Garrison, you did a good job just now, you even knew to have the earth elemental seal the gap in advance."
Marcus spoke with a hint of approval as he stepped forward and reached out to help John up.
"You old rascal, weren't you pretty reliable when you weren't drinking?"
John scratched his bald head, somewhat bewildered, thinking: Did I just have the earth elemental use the Earth Shaping spell?
"Alright, stop standing there. Go keep an eye on those idiots in the caravan. We need to hide underground for a month."
John nodded, no longer delving into the doubts he had just raised.
He casually pulled a pinch of moldy tobacco from his backpack, stuffed it into his pipe, squinted his eyes, and began to enjoy a sip of alcohol and a puff of smoke.
Call ~
He slowly exhaled a cloud of murky, black smoke and drunkenly led the earth elemental to a room where merchants were imprisoned.
Yue Feng then looked into the house.
Six people were seen, two women and four men, tightly bound to the hard rock wall.
Of the six, only one man was physically strong and clearly a trained fighter.
The walls of these rooms appear very abruptly, clearly created using clay modeling techniques.
"Whoever...whoever runs out, you...you kill them!"
John mumbled a few words, then sat down on the wooden chair with a clear conscience and continued to gulp down his beer.
Yue Feng deliberately pretended to be carrying out orders, standing quietly outside the cell door waiting for instructions.
"I'm determined to save these people today."
He silently measured the size of the thieves' den and the number of bandits in his mind.
The underground base was about the size of a basketball court, and was divided into five rooms.
One room was the leader's private quarters, two large shared rooms, one prison cell specifically for holding prisoners, and the largest remaining room was used as a warehouse to store supplies.
The number was 12, fewer than expected.
However, this number is almost the limit, as resources and space are ultimately limited.
Yue Feng took a small step to the left, then transferred his elemental essence to his left shoulder so he could see the situation inside the cell clearly.
John was already completely drunk, clutching the bottle tightly to his chest, slumped on the wooden table, snoring loudly.
"Now is not the time to take action; we have to wait until most people are asleep."
According to Yue Feng's observation, the bandits did not seem to be very strong in combat.
In this fantasy world, the stronger a person is, the more carefully they will protect their equipment and weapons.
But what about these people?
He stood there watching for at least two hours, and not a single bandit thought to protect their gear.
Swords and knives were carelessly tossed in a corner, and bows and arrows leaned crookedly against the wall; they weren't even bothered with the most basic wiping.
Perhaps this place is too safe, so safe that I don't even want to carry weapons with me.
Right.
Who would have thought that a gang of robbers would be hiding beneath an abandoned temple?
About an hour passed slowly.
The bandits, who had been drinking and feasting not long ago, gradually returned to their dormitory rooms to sleep.
Another half hour passed.
"Very good, let's begin."
Yue Feng reached into his stomach and fiddled around for a while, finally pulling out a bottle of Rose Dew.
This is a potion that Luca specially prepared to knock out Sovia.
The thought of Luca pretending to be a caring senior made Yue Feng feel nauseous.
"You're lucky, John."
He walked slowly to the wooden table, reached out and pinched John's chin, forcibly pried open his mouth, and poured the entire bottle of roses down his throat.
"Waaah~"
John was jolted awake by the earth elemental's rough movements, instantly sobering up considerably.
However, suffering from a serious illness and alcohol-induced brain damage, he was far less powerful than the earth element.
"Don't worry, dizziness is normal," Yue Feng comforted him softly. "At least I won't kill you before we get them out of here."
John's struggles weakened until his body went limp, and he collapsed face down to the ground, completely unconscious.
The six merchants bound in the cell stared in shock at the scene before them, watching helplessly as Yue Feng secretly attacked their summoner.
Everyone was filled with surprise and doubt.
"This earth elemental... wasn't it summoned by him?"
"What kind of summoned creature turns around and harms its own master?"
The robust young man, suppressing his panic, asked in a trembling voice in his broken, primitive Tu language:
"What...what are you going to do!"
Hearing the sound of chewing rock sand coming from the man's mouth, Yue Feng was momentarily lost in thought.
"Hey, it's your hometown dialect! But you made eight mistakes in one sentence."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately focused his gaze on the other person and silently thought to himself: Check the panel.
The gray light in the lower right corner of my eye remained lit for more than ten minutes before the data and text finally appeared.
Yue Feng did not idly wait while the system was running.
He used the skill [Shape Change] to shape his arms into sharp rock spikes, thus cutting free from the merchants' constraints.
Ding.
【Name: Duro ※※※※ (lv??)】
[Race: Earth Elemental, Male, Level 0? (Common Species)]
As soon as the panel refreshed, Yue Feng couldn't wait to take the initiative to start a conversation with Du Luo.
"Hello, Duro. You can understand me, right?"
Yue Feng spoke very quickly, sounding like two stones rubbing together forcefully.
Months of talking to himself had almost driven him crazy, but now he's finally met someone he can communicate with normally.
Duro quickly calmed down and accepted the fact that the earth elementals could talk.
"Wait a minute, you spoke too fast, I didn't hear you clearly."
Du Luo shook his head helplessly and continued, "I can only understand a small part of the Tu language, and I can speak even less."
"I can only confirm that what you were saying to yourself just now was in the Tu language, but I don't know what it means."
Dulo mixed a little bit of Tu language into the majority of the common language, and spoke it haltingly.
"Well, that's fine, as long as you can understand the general meaning."
Yue Feng immediately began gesturing wildly, explaining the next action plan to him.
"The bandits are all asleep now. You can slowly walk over and bring them the weapons. My body is too heavy and will make a lot of noise."
"Try to turn off any light sources you can reach, and then raise your hand if you are capable of fighting."
Du Luo translated Yue Feng's gestures into common language, one by one.
He then raised his right hand and said, "I will demonstrate sword and shield techniques."
"Alright! Let's get started!"
The six men and one woman tiptoed out of the cell one by one, while Yue Feng stopped outside the door.
"Change your body shape!"
Because this place is underground, he can choose any rocks he wants to repair and shape his body.
In combat against humans, agility and defense are equally important.
The bandits may know that the weakness of the earth element lies in the elemental essence, and that they must thicken the rock protection around their chests.
The left arm uses a single rock slab to block attacks, while the right arm is filled with more rock spikes as ammunition for ranged attacks.
Yue Feng watched as the torches on the ground were extinguished one by one by his companions, plunging the entire space into darkness.
"Dark Vision, activated!"
