"Ahhhh!"
The dwarfs screamed and circled around Lin Xue and the other two.
"Ah Hui, are you alright?"
Lin Xue looked at He Ahui and found that her clothes had only been torn and she was not injured.
"Treasure, what about you? Are you hurt?"
Lin Xue hugged Li Zhen tightly again and carefully examined her.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that the dwarfs hadn't actually killed them.
"Grandma, I'm alright!"
Li Zhen, afraid that Lin Xue would worry, quickly shook her head.
Seeing that the two were alright, Lin Xue turned around to face the dwarfs.
Why did you arrest us?
Looking at the dwarfs who resembled children, Lin Xue didn't believe they would actually be interested in human women.
After all, it's not a good match for a small person to drive a big vehicle.
"Ahhh~"
The dwarfs gestured and mumbled something, making it unclear what they were trying to say. Lin Xue rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.
I wish I could understand what they were saying.
"Ahhh, Aba aba!"
The dwarfs made a fuss for a while, then stopped. They seemed to realize that Lin Xue and the others couldn't understand them.
A short while later, an elderly dwarf emerged from the depths of the valley.
Why is it called an old dwarf? Because it has a long beard.
Of course, the old dwarf's beard and hair are green.
"Ah ah ah ah ba ah ba!"
The elderly dwarf circled around Lin Xue and the others a few times, and then tried to communicate with Lin Xue again. Unfortunately, Lin Xue couldn't understand his babbling, so she could only frown and stare at the elderly dwarf.
Finally, the elderly dwarf seemed to accept this reality and turned to leave.
Lin Xue and the others were driven into a cave by the dwarfs, who then left them alone.
There were many dwarfs surrounding the cave, presumably to guard them.
"Ah Hui, I have some food here!"
Under the cover of the basket on her back, Lin Xue took out some food and handed it to He Ahui.
"Mom, I'm not hungry!"
He Ahui shook her head. She had no appetite and no idea what these monsters would do to them.
"Eat up, Liu Zhi and the others will come to rescue us. Now you should take Zhenbao'er and eat something to replenish her strength!"
Lin Xue stuffed more food into her arms, and then took out some food from her own basket and began to eat.
Not long after they finished eating, the old dwarf came again.
He was holding a box in his hand. The elderly dwarf walked straight up to Lin Xue and handed the box to her.
"For me?"
Lin Xue raised an eyebrow, wondering what this dwarf was up to.
However, judging from their appearance, they are clearly intelligent.
As long as they are intelligent and capable of thinking, they will not easily do something like killing a hostage.
What's most frightening is being like a wild beast, incapable of thinking and only knowing how to eat; that's true despair.
"Ah ...
The elderly dwarf continued to pass the box forward until Lin Xue reached out and took it, at which point he let go of her hand.
The elderly dwarf saw Lin Xue take the box and then pointed at it, indicating that Lin Xue should open it.
Upon opening the box, one finds a gemstone necklace inside.
The material of the necklace is not discernible, but it should be a very high-grade metal, something that shouldn't exist in this world.
The gemstone was purplish-red, radiating a soft glow, and was very bright and dazzling.
Lin Xue examined the necklace closely; its value was definitely considerable.
This single purple gemstone, the size of a pigeon's egg, is worth a fortune.
She reached out and touched the amethyst again, feeling a cool sensation seep into her fingers from the gem.
"Um?"
For some reason, she felt a very comfortable sensation when her fingers touched the amethyst.
"Human, can you understand what I'm saying now?"
When Lin Xue touched the amethyst, the old dwarf hurriedly started babbling.
While He Ahui and Li Zhen still looked completely bewildered, Lin Xue clearly understood what they were saying.
She quickly removed her fingers from the amethyst.
The elderly dwarf seemed to know what Lin Xue was doing, so he mumbled a few more words.
Sure enough, once Lin Xue's fingers left the amethyst, she could no longer understand the dwarf's words.
Now that a solution had been found, Lin Xue decided not to hold back.
She put the amethyst necklace around her neck.
"Human, I can see that you are not from this world!"
The moment Lin Xue put the gem around her neck, she heard the old dwarf's words again.
This sentence contained a wealth of information, leaving Lin Xue speechless for a moment.
"Come with me, let's talk somewhere else!"
Seeing that Lin Xue understood what he said, the old dwarf turned and walked out.
"As for the two people behind you, they can stay in the cave if they are scared, and no one will stop them if they want to go out for a walk!"
The elderly dwarf walked very slowly, talking as he went.
"Ah Hui, I'm going out with this old man. You stay in the cave with Zhenbao. If you get bored, you can go out for a walk!"
"These dwarfs won't do anything to us for now. You can wander around the exit area. If Liu Zhi and the others come looking for us later, just go with them!"
