Volume 19 Chapter 258 Finally Found It
Following my order, a large group of death guards and my large familiars ran out and started digging holes for me. Because of the large number of people and the lucky presence of giant creatures like them that are comparable to large excavators, the excavation speed can be said to be quite fast. It only took us more than an hour to dig the entire hillside into a big hole.
"Eh?" I was waiting for the excavation results by the lake when I suddenly heard Plague's "Eh?"
"Did you find anything?"
After hearing my question, Plague immediately dug his claws again, and then said: "There seems to be something going on here."
As soon as I heard this, I ran over quickly, and then the plague stepped aside. In the place where the plague had just dug, I suddenly discovered a large piece of rock, and there was an arch-shaped gap in the middle of these rocks. Of course, now this gap has been completely sealed by soil. The reason why it is called a gap is because it is surrounded by rocks and only here is soil.
"This looks like a door," one of the guys who had been following me said.
After looking around for a while, I felt that the gap was indeed a bit like the entrance to a cave, but I had to wait until it was dug out to determine whether it was.
"Get out of the way first. Steel Claw, come here and dig this place up."
Because the entrance to the cave is an arc-moon door about three meters high and nearly three meters wide, large creatures like Lucky and Plague cannot enter at all. However, the digging speed of the Death Guards is relatively slow, so I just The task was given to Steel Claw. Compared to the Death Guard, Steel Claw's speed is obviously much faster, and his size is just right enough to squeeze into the hole and dig without being affected.
When the steel claw came to the entrance of the cave, it immediately started to pull up the soil at the entrance of the cave with its two powerful front paws. With a burst of earth and rocks flying, soon half of the steel claw's body got into the hole, and then After about three to five minutes, his entire body disappeared into the hole, leaving only half of his tail still dangling outside.
"It looks like it is indeed a hole, and we actually dug it in." The soldier leading the team among the eighteen people stood beside me and said after watching the steel claws dig into the hole more than ten meters like a rock drill.
I looked at the pile of dirt outside, then waved my hand to Plague to help sweep the dirt aside, and then said, "I hope this is the hole I'm looking for, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to dig."
Before I could finish my words, I saw the steel claw that had penetrated more than ten meters into the hole suddenly crawled out of the hole backwards.
"What? Did you dig it through?" After getting the answer from the steel claw through the spiritual connection, I immediately took back the summoned creature excitedly, and then prepared to rush in, but after running two steps, I suddenly remembered that it seemed like the gang outside It hasn’t been processed yet.
The leading soldier saw me suddenly stop and look at them and reacted. The strength of their group is that no matter what monster they encounter here, they will only be abused, so it is really not appropriate to leave them outside. But it doesn't seem very appropriate to bring them in, because if Yosfat's information is correct, then there is probably a very awesome god living here, and there should be a very special monster here. Although Yosfat didn't explain clearly what kind of monster it was at the time, Yosfat said that he couldn't defeat that monster anyway, so it can be seen that the gods and monsters here are very good. Of course it's okay for me to enter here alone, but if I bring these eighteen ordinary players in, if the gods or monsters go crazy, it's hard to say whether I can save them, so it doesn't seem appropriate to bring them into the cave. .
After weighing for a long time, I finally decided to take them all with me. After all, the gods and monsters in the cave may not fight us, but if we put them outside and encounter monsters, they will definitely die. Of course, I can also leave some magic pets outside to protect them, but in that case, if I need these magic pets to fight in the cave, even if I call them back at that time, the time lost in the meantime may also affect my... The end of the mission. The main reason I came here this time was to complete the mission I got from Yosifat. Protecting these people was just incidental. If the mission was ruined because of them, it would be putting the cart before the horse. So in the end I decided to take them with me. Anyway, I had sent away thirty-six of them in advance. Even if I couldn't save the remaining eighteen, they wouldn't all be dead, right? I can take out a few people, but there is nothing to say about the dead people. Anyway, I didn't say that I would ensure their safety.
The soldier was also a smart man. He also understood my dilemma, so he took the initiative and said: "President Ziri, please let us go in together. If there is any danger, we won't blame you if we die. Anyway, we Many people here want to see how you fight and do tasks, and it doesn’t matter even if you die.”
Since everyone said so, of course I would not object. I directly asked them to follow me and walked into the cave. We walked all the way along the entrance of the cave and went deeper than ten meters. Suddenly we heard a bang from behind, and then the whole cave suddenly lit up. I was stunned for a moment before I realized that the person behind had lit the torch. I have dark vision myself, so I always forget that others can't see in the dark. In fact, the people at the back were more depressed than me. When they first came in, they thought I would light a torch or cast a lighting spell or something, but who knew I would just run in the dark all the way. The ground in this cave was originally uneven, and not only did I not light a torch, but I also ran very fast, seemingly not affected by the light at all. Only then did one of them remember to take out a torch and light it.
After the soldier lit the torch, he was shocked when he found that I actually looked back at them. He thought I didn't light the fire on purpose.
"What, shouldn't we light a fire?" the guy asked carefully.
I shook my head and said, "Sorry, I forgot that you can't see you in a dark place!"
When the little idiot heard this, he suddenly came out and said: "People say I'm stupid, but I never thought there was someone more stupid than me. You can even forget to see things in a dark place. You are really stupid." "
I was angry with this guy before because I thought he was a normal person. Later, after chatting with them, I already knew that this guy really had an IQ problem and was not arrogant, so I wasn't angry anymore. As a normal person, we should maintain tolerance and restraint for those who are born with intellectual disabilities and children who have not yet established a correct world view. This is a basic quality of a person. Of course, it is fundamental for those who have no problem with their own intelligence and are purely brain-dead. You don’t have to endure it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t offend me. If you offend me, you’ll just knock everyone on sight.
"Actually, because of my race and professional attributes, I have perfect dark vision. Even in a completely enclosed underground space, I can have a sight range of thousands of meters. In addition to not being able to see colors, There is basically no difference where there is light. So as time goes by, I always forget that others need to light torches to illuminate in the dark. "
After hearing this, the soldier immediately smiled and said: "This ability is very convenient. At least the fire saves money."
Hearing what the soldier said, I suddenly remembered that the torches in the game were not cheap. To me, they were of course worth a dime, even if I took thousands of torches to fill the entire cave. It’s nothing, but it’s an extra burden for these ordinary players. Thinking of this, I immediately said: "You'd better put out the torches and save some money. I have a magic pet that is good at lighting. It doesn't cost money, and the effect is much better than your torch."
"Oh, thank you." After the soldier said this, he called on everyone to quickly put out the torches to save money, while I asked Xiaochun to come out and shine a holy light on us all. The group of people really thought I was going to cast the lighting spell at first. Unexpectedly, after Xiaochun finished casting the magic, they suddenly found that their fatigue and other attributes were recovering quickly. "This this……"
"This is holy light, a primary constant state spell." Xiaochun explained: "Actually, this spell can only increase a small amount of endurance, magic power and life recovery speed, but the lighting effect is very good. With this spell protection, you are equivalent to Put a light bulb on top of your head, it can cover the surrounding area of 50 meters, and the spell will move with you as you move."
"It's amazing. How long can this spell last?" asked the clever archer from before.
"I haven't calculated it. Anyway, as long as it is not dispersed, it will definitely be no problem if it lasts for more than eight hours."
"As expected of President Ziri, he even uses such extravagant magic for lighting." The soldier sighed.
I waved my hand to take Xiaochun back, and then led everyone to continue moving into the cave.
At the beginning, the more than thirty meters in front of the entrance of the cave were the part that had just been dug out by the steel claws. There was still a lot of soil on the ground and walls here, and the tunnel was not dug very flat. It was often necessary to dig deeper and shallower. Walking forward, after the first thirty meters, the ground has become a lot smoother. It seems that I can see the rocky ground that has been simply polished. However, there are still a lot of gravel and soil on the ground in this section. I guess it may It's gravel that rolled in during a landslide.
After following the passage all the way inward for about fifty meters, the gravel and soil disappeared completely. The walls and ground of the passage have all turned into rocks, and its surface should have been dug manually. Natural caves are unlikely to be so flat. Even underground rivers washed out by water will have some round protrusions. It's impossible to be completely flat like here.
After walking along this passage for about a hundred meters, the passage suddenly ended and connected to a cave of about three to four hundred square meters. This cave is about ten meters high. There are all kinds of random rocks in it. There are also three strange stone pillars in the center made of several large stones. However, what I am concerned about is not these stone pillars, but A stone door located deep in the cave.
This is a stone gate that was obviously built artificially. Its style is the round moon gate shape of ancient China. The gate consists of two stone slabs, with a huge relief Bagua diagram in the center. Above the gate, a long stone plaque hangs there, but there is not a single word on it.
"It seems like this is the hole I'm looking for."
