Chapter 600: Insider exposed
Iron Spear promised Redbeard that she would take down the man in the weird black suit.
But the guy didn't show up again for two days.
Redbeard's patience has been almost exhausted. He has been observing secretly these days, looking for opportunities to escape.
It's just that the guards were obviously more alert after entering the mountain. Not only were they watched during the march during the day, but their hands and feet were also tied before going to bed at night.
Moreover, the rope used was very strong. After grinding it all night, Red Beard opened a small gap. He couldn't break free at all. The guard even found out and was beaten again.
This beating also made Redbeard completely give up and escape only on his own strength. While he was relieving himself in the afternoon, he secretly used stones to carve a large snake with two wings on its back on the rock wall.
This is the totem of the Mist Snake Tribe, and it is also the communication mark agreed between them and the dwarves.
Redbeard just knew that there was their internal agent in the team, but he didn't actually know who the internal agent was. He still needed that person to come to him first.
After marking, Redbeard lifted up his pants, returned to the team as if nothing had happened, and continued eating dinner.
When Iron Spear saw him coming back, he immediately came up to him and said, "How's it going? Did it go well?"
Redbeard didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his sister, so he acted like he was in control. "Of course," he added after a pause, "don't get so close to me, or you may arouse the suspicion of the guards."
"What are you afraid of? They don't understand what we are saying anyway." The female savage muttered, but still sat a little further away.
Red Beard looked calm on the surface, but in fact he had no confidence in his heart. He didn't know whether the lurking spy could see the mark on the rock, and whether he would actually come to him after seeing it.
He just silently finished the bread in his hand. I have to say that the food outside the mountain is indeed better than that in the mountain. Anyway, the Mist Snake Tribe will never give bread to prisoners.
Although the savages also farm, their methods are very primitive, the grain yield is not high, and they have to open up wasteland again every once in a while.
Therefore, food is very precious. Sometimes they go down the mountain to rob and fight the dwarves not entirely because of hatred, but because there are too many people in the tribe.
However, survival resources are limited, and only a part of the population can be consumed through such means.
This is why Old Utu and Red Beard were finally willing to cooperate with those dwarves.
Redbeard sometimes envies Iron Spear. This woman has a simple mind and well-developed limbs. She never worries about tomorrow's things, so she can say that the mountains are good too.
After the meal, the ten savage captives had precious free time to stretch their hands and feet in place. However, this happiness was short-lived, and they were tied up again as soon as it got dark.
Redbeard lay down on the spot and slept until he sat up from the ground in the middle of the night and signaled to the guard beside him that he wanted to relieve himself again.
The guard cursed a few words, but finally untied the ropes from his hands and legs. Redbeard got up and walked to the place that was convenient before.
But he was stopped by the guard behind him, "Where else do you want to go in the middle of the night? Just settle it here."
Redbeard couldn't understand what he said, but the guard would use the whip in his hand to make him understand.
Redbeard didn't dare to move after being whipped. Then he saw the guard pointing at his feet and making another move to take off his pants.
Here, isn't this a place to rest? Redbeard was stunned.
"You savages all stink anyway, so go back to sleep after peeing on the spot." The guard sneered.
Redbeard probably understood what the guard meant, and glared at the opposite side. At the same time, his head began to work rapidly, trying hard to find another excuse to return to the place where he left the mark.
And at this moment another voice sounded, "Let him go. The smell of urine here is too strong and will affect other people. I will lead people to keep an eye on him and not let him run away."
< br>
The speaker was a guard of the Arias family, and he was accompanied by three companions, all of whom were responsible for patrolling this area at night.
When the guard saw them, he immediately changed his expression and said with a somewhat flattering smile, "Why are you so embarrassed? You guys have already had a hard time patrolling, so I'd better go."
After saying that, he whipped Redbeard again, telling the latter to walk faster and stop dilly-dallying.
Redbeard secretly swore in his heart that if he could get out of trouble, he would find a way to kill this guy.
But after a lot of hard work, he finally got what he wanted and returned to the place where he relieved himself in the afternoon.
But it was pitch black all around, and Redbeard couldn't see any changes near the mark he left on the rock.
So he first unbuttoned his pants, peed, and then pretended to be unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground. At the same time, he reached out quickly to touch under the rock, and then he discovered it.
The afternoon mark was gone, or rather crossed out.
Redbeard thought about many possibilities before coming, but he didn't expect that the mark would be crossed out.
So that guy was indeed near him, and had been silently observing his every move, so he could notice the mark he left so quickly.
But I didn’t want to have any interaction with him, so I just crossed it out?
In other words, that guy didn't care about the life and death of these prisoners at all, he only thought about how to get rid of the group of imperial people in front of him.
And this was in line with Redbeard's impression of those dwarves, which made him very angry.
This cooperation has been a disadvantage for the tribes and clans from the very beginning. They have lost thousands of warriors since the beginning. Now he just wants the insider in the team to do a small favor, but that guy actually doesn't want to pay attention to him.
For a moment, Redbeard was so angry that he even wanted to poke out the inner being to make the bastard look good.
But when he thought that he didn't know the common language and couldn't communicate with the imperial people, and that they had sacrificed so many people to get here, Red Beard could only suppress the anger in his heart and choose to swallow this dumb loss. .
The female lord on the other side has also fallen asleep.
However, Li Yu had just gone to work early in the morning and was not sleepy. He was in another tent, listening to the person responsible for monitoring the red beard report on the gains of the past two days.
"We have found the hidden agent." Tom said.
"Who?"
"It's the guy nicknamed Big Hand." Tom said, "The people I arranged to follow discovered that there was a savage who used the excuse of relieving himself in the afternoon to secretly leave marks on the rock wall."
< br>
While talking, Tom couldn't help but complain, "Those savages are really stupid. For two days, I thought they were hiding some powerful tricks, but in the end, that's all. He thought he could deceive us in this way." ?
"The big hand must have realized that what the savage did might arouse our vigilance, so he quickly went over and crossed out the mark." (End of Chapter)
