Chapter 14: Eight Hundred Vertical Meters

"What? Is there a dungeon here?" Eagle asked in surprise.

"Sorry, I forgot!"

Zhenhong also shouted: "That's right! When we first infiltrated, we originally planned to go underground, but we encountered the wall of the underground city. I forgot about it!"

When she said this, Kristina and Ziyue next to her also remembered. Everyone was together at the time, but we all forgot about it!

"What should we do now?" Da Guofan asked.

"What else can we do? Find the entrance!" Bai Xue, who was standing next to the big pot of rice, hit him on the head.

After everyone looked down at the ground, Ah Wei said to himself, "The ground is full of ice. How can we find it?"

The underground city of this city is obviously not an upright underground city like Essinger. The underground city of Essinger has a very huge entrance, just like a subway station. However, the underground city of this city is indeed built according to the air raid shelter, and the entrances are It's hidden. Even if it's usually difficult to find the entrance, what should we do now that it's completely frozen?

Su Mei suddenly said: "By the way, how about listening to the echo and looking for it? You don't have to find the entrance anyway, you just need to determine where it is thinner, and then punch a hole through it."

"But how do you knock it through the ice layer more than one meter thick?"

"Just find someone stronger to knock on."

Ziyue immediately said: "My Titan will definitely do it."

"But two are not enough!"

"The sound pressure bomb of the spear might be able to penetrate the ice." Xiaoyao suggested.

"No." Rose objected: "The sound pressure bomb of the spear is too weak and does not have that penetrating power. But the sound pressure bomb fired by the bird of the purple sun might be able to do it."

"That's only three! How long will it take to find them in such a big city?"

"Right. Go find Sister Hammer." Su Mei suddenly shouted.

"Sister Hammer?" We were all confused.

Sumei quickly explained: "She is the sister who had the best record during the Japanese ninja invasion last time. You even rewarded her with an angel crystal."

Everyone said together: "Oh!" This image of mm is so easy to remember.

"That's not enough!" Eagle said, "Why don't we find all the people in the guild who are strong in hitting?"

"Okay, let's do it then!"

This damn ice was not only extremely slippery but also so hard that it was impossible for us to even penetrate it. The people with stronger attack power in the guild were all gathered together and started looking for weak points in the dungeon. If it weren't for the ice, I could easily find the entrance with pioneers and rose vines, but now they can't even move and can't help at all!

The girl who got the hammer last time was quickly called in to help find the weak points. Her big hammer was really easy to use. When she hammered down hard, there was an earthquake-like sound immediately. Bailang has good ears and can hear the thickness of the strata based on the echo. But after the first hammer blow, a 750-meter-deep stratum was detected. I really don’t know how it could be so deep. Ordinarily, the lower city shouldn’t be dug so deep!

The excavation results of other guild members are similar. Basically, the depths detected are more than 700 meters deep, and the depth in some areas can reach more than 800 meters. Could it be that the underground city in this city has a special purpose?

I turned my eternity into a big hammer, swung the hammer, jumped up and slammed it down to the ground. With a bang, the ice shattered together with the ground. The frozen ground is as hard as steel, but also brittle.

After more than three hours of hammering, everyone still couldn't find the entrance, but we have detected the entrance and location of the dungeon. This damn underground city is huge and buried more than 700 meters deep. But now there is a problem. The entrance to the city has indeed been found, and there are several of them, but there are doors on both sides of these entrances. When the flood first occurred, these entrances were filled with water, and the tunnels closed by the gates on both sides were completely sealed by water. Now when the temperature drops, the water turns into ice. In other words, the tunnel entrance is completely blocked by ice.

Rose called us together and said: "We don't have much time. The enemy is still resurrecting. We must move faster. On the one hand, we have to block the counterattack of Paradise City over there, and on the other hand, we have to dig too many holes." Dangerous. I think we need to find another way."

"What should we do? Should we give up?" Ziyue asked.

Rose shook her head: "Giving up is not my habit. I mean to find another way. Kristina, didn't you bring Essinger's large drilling machine? How about trying it with that thing?"

Kristina thought for a while and said: "The giant drilling machine is prepared for mining iron ore. The drill bit can deal with ice and rocks, but that guy is not small?"

"We have plenty of air force, are we still worried that we won't be able to transport it?"

"Then give it a try."

It took an hour for the parts of five giant drilling machines to be transported to Liberty City. The parts that had just been removed were allocated and placed in five thinner areas. With the help of my dragon and the giant familiars of other people in the guild, the huge parts were assembled.

After the rig was loaded the bear circled the thing several times. "Is this...is this really a drilling machine?"

"certainly."

"It's so great. Such perfect equipment is really shocking!" He looked at his shovel and said, "Modern equipment is better!"

The base of the giant drilling rig is a regular hexagonal metal ring with a side length of 7 meters. We made it very heavy specifically to ensure that the body of the drilling rig will not rotate with the drill bit when it is working. The base is fixed to the ground with six half-meter-diameter steel columns to further ensure stability. We spent a lot of effort to ensure that the base was level with the ground. If this thing was not placed levelly, it would be easy to break the drill pipe.

Above the base, a giant host with a diameter of 7 meters and a height of 12 meters stands on the base. The dark color and mechanical structure give people a sense of power. A giant drill bit with a diameter of more than two meters hangs under the drill. It is a three-way, three-headed canine tooth drill bit. It is equipped with a magic-reinforced diamond blade that can cut iron like mud. Behind the drill bit is a drill bit with a diameter of 1.5 meters. This thing is a hollow steel pipe with a wall thickness of 35 centimeters.

The fully assembled machines look like magic towers, with a giant creature next to each drill rig helping to change the drill pipes. The drilling rig we are on is operated by Kristina, and Plague and Lucky are responsible for changing the drill pipe. After confirming that everything was ready, I nodded to indicate that it was time to connect the energy source. Kristina stuffed a magic crystal as big as a watermelon into the power extractor in the machine.

Black Bear was shocked when he saw it: "How much does such a big magic crystal cost?"

"I haven't calculated it, I guess it won't be cheap, but don't worry, it can be used for a long time. The average cost is not very high."

Black Bear said depressedly: "A poor man like me should just use the shovel!"

"Haha, you get what you pay for." I said while making a starting gesture to Kristina.

Kristina pressed a few times on the console, then put her hand on the starter and pulled it down hard. "Chi! Chi…" The harsh sound, like metal scraping the glass, forced everyone to cover their ears. The sound made people feel uncomfortable and made them feel like they were going to vomit.

The giant drill bit began to rotate slowly. Kristina pulled another operating lever. The drill bit began to speed up obviously, and the noise became louder and louder. However, the harsh sound was gone, and now only the majestic sound was left. There was a mechanical sound.

The high-speed rotating drill bit made a whistle-like whistle in the air, obviously reaching the speed. Kristina pulled down an operating lever again, there was a roar above the machine, and the drill bit began to move slowly downward. Suddenly there was a sharp impact and we felt a tremor in the soles of our feet at the same time, and short-sighted water splashed in the gap between the base of the drilling rig and the machine above. The drill bit broke the ice into ice slag, and when it hit the hot machine, it immediately turned into water. But the air was still very cold, and the splashed water immediately turned into ice again, causing those of us standing around to run away with our heads in our arms, but Kristina, who was standing on the stage, was completely fine.

Watching the ice and snow suddenly disappear, then mud began to fly, and then returned to normal. The ground was still shaking, but the harsh sound was no longer audible. Only the roar of the drilling rig was heard on the ground. Kristina jumped down and shouted: "Okay, now you just need to keep changing the drill, and the machine will drill down automatically. The ice on the surface is relatively hard, and it becomes faster when it reaches the soil. I estimate that it should be almost penetrated in thirty minutes.”

I also shouted loudly to answer her: "Then as soon as possible."

Everyone was waiting boredly next to the drill rig. Black Bear said he wanted to see the big guy's operating platform, so I took him up to the console. The speed of the drilling rig was indeed quite terrifying, and the depth count on the readout was flipping rapidly amid the splashing mud. And because the soil below isn't frozen, the drill is getting faster and faster.

The actual speed of the drill was faster than expected. Twenty-two minutes later, the drill made a roar, followed by the harsh sound of metal friction. The black bear was startled and thought he had hit something. He quickly asked nervously: "Did I break something? I can't afford to pay for this big guy!"

Kristina said: "It's okay, the drilling rig penetrated the formation, and the drill bit entered the lower city." As she said that, she pushed up the operating rods one by one, and the drilling rig immediately stopped. She pulled another switch and the drill immediately resumed operation, this time in reverse. The drill pipes from the top came out one after another.

At the same time, four other drilling rigs penetrated the formation one after another and began to withdraw drilling.

At this time, everyone in the dungeon was panicking. Most of them were players who had just been resurrected. The guild resurrection hall of this city was in the dungeon, and there were only ordinary resurrection halls on the ground. Everyone thought it was safe to hide here, but they didn't expect that the ground suddenly started shaking violently half an hour ago, and it became more and more severe. Just now, a large rock suddenly fell from the ceiling of the dungeon, and then something with a terrifying shape extended into the city. This thing was still going vertically downward after entering the city. Soon it hit the roof of a building and easily turned the house into a pile of debris. This strange thing continued to go down. When it touched the ground of the dungeon again, it immediately went deep into the ground and started to go down. However, this thing only went deep half a meter before stopping. After waiting for a few seconds, the thing began to reverse, then slowly rose up and quickly disappeared into the big hole.

On the ground, it took five minutes for the drill to pull the drill bit out of the ground. Then the dragons worked together to move the drill away. Only a large hole with a diameter of two meters leading directly to the underground city was left on the ground.

"The attack begins." I gave the order in the guild channel. "Everyone is waiting for my sub-dragon cavalry and bell knights to enter the passage first to avoid unnecessary casualties."

There are at least 4 Ring Knights standing on each side of the 5 cave entrances. They will be the first to enter the passage. Only if they go down is it safe. At the entrance of the cave on our side, Scott jumped down first, followed by the other four ring knights. After they all went down, my sub-dragon cavalry also started to jump down. The large hole with a diameter of two meters is enough for a small dragon hunter to pass through, but the sub-dragon cavalry must come down first. After they all went down, I jumped down. The bell knight who came down first put a big trampoline in the hole below. We fell on the trampoline and used the strength to jump and land safely.

My first reaction after coming down was shock. The area of ​​this underground city is much larger than the city above, at least 10 times larger. And this place is more like a mining area than a city. There are more than ten giant ore pits distributed in the huge semi-artificial cave. The places between these pits are all buildings, but they are basically workshops. It turns out that this underground city is a place for collecting minerals, no wonder it is so deep. Generally, underground cities only need to be seven or eight meters deep to ensure that the ground above will not collapse. The reason why they are dug so deep here is for mining. It seems that the city above is just a cover, built purely to hide this mining area.

Kristina happened to come down from the side. She was as dumbfounded as me. I quickly pulled her over so as not to disturb others from entering. Kristina said in surprise: "Look at that pit."

I looked over and recognized it immediately. "Magic crystal?"

The roses just happened to come down too. "What magic crystal are you talking about?"

I pointed over there, and she immediately opened her mouth in surprise. "No wonder this guild is so rich. It turns out that the city is right above the magic crystal mine!"

Kristina said: "It's not an ordinary magic crystal mine, look at those red ones."

"Oh my god! Red-striped magic crystal!" We shouted almost at the same time. The dots of red light shining in the magic crystal mine are obviously red-striped magic crystals, and there are quite a lot of them. Generally, the red veined magic crystal content in magic crystal mines does not exceed 1%. It is obviously more than 1% here, and it is estimated that 5% is present.

"President." A voice came from the guild channel.

"whats the matter?"

"We belong to Shaft No. 3, and the hole here is just above a mine pit."

"If it's difficult to enter, you can enter through another entrance."

What I understood was that the gap between the cave entrance and the ground was too big to allow people to get in, but the mm said: "It's not the cave entrance. It's the mine. It's all black jade, all over the ground. We fell into the black jade mine. .”

"Long live." The guild channel suddenly became chaotic. Everyone finally knows that our guild has found what it needs most, which is an unexpected bonus.

I quickly asked them to be quiet, but unfortunately the effect was not good. Everyone's voices were too noisy, so I had to send text messages to ask them to be quiet. "Hurry up and clear out the enemies before you celebrate."

"Yes!" After knowing that there are good things, everyone's enthusiasm has increased significantly. In addition, most of the players here have failed once, and no matter how powerful they are after level 0, they are useless. Our troops drove all the enemies into a mine like a sweep, and were surrounded by our players outside.

Several non-combat players brought by Kristina have already begun to check the quality of the mining area, while I took a few destructive ones to the Council Hall. As long as this is demolished, the city war will be over.

The enemies surrounded in the mine were slaughtered. The players' steel claws were massacred inside, while the players themselves surrounded the pit. Anyone who dared to climb up would be killed immediately. Lucky and I have also found the Council Hall. Destroying it is of course a small problem. After two dragon flames, the magnificent building became a pile of smoking ruins.

The city battle system ended as soon as the Yizheng Palace fell. At this time, all players who were not members of the guild were forcibly teleported out. Everyone was cheering, but I said in the guild channel: "Girls, be quiet for a moment. The city war is not over yet. There is another Paradise City over there. What I applied for is a bundled city war. Both cities must be wiped out. It can be over.”

Rose also immediately said: "Don't be anxious, everyone, use your spears to leave here immediately and knock down the City of Paradise. Almost all the people in the Hippie Alliance have been killed. There are not many people in the city over there. You can clear the place and come back." ”

"lets go."

Everyone immediately began to summon their spears and leave here. The wingspan of the spear is as high as three and a half meters, but when using extreme sprint, the wings can be bent into a circle, and the diameter is less than 2 meters at this time. Rows of birds fly outward from the hole on the ground one after another, like a swarm of bats leaving the cave at night.

Because there were not many enemies left over there, I did not directly participate in the battle in Paradise City. I just let Ying take command. I also sent the Ring Knight to assist in the battle. After the combatants were almost out, I began to organize the remaining people to quickly restore the city's state. The first thing is to ask Kristina to put back the parts of those cannons, so that we have defensive weapons when the enemy comes. On the other hand, I began to direct several mm who were specifically responsible for the teleportation array to build a transnational teleportation array.

The NPC guards of our guild are different from other cities. They can move freely between the cities of our guild. In other words, as long as they don't leave the city, it doesn't matter which city they are in. As long as the transnational teleportation array is built, Essinger's guards can reinforce this side at any time, and then there will be nothing to fear.

The transnational teleportation array is relatively large and is quite troublesome to erect, and we must clear an open space first. Putting the transnational teleportation array in the underground city can transport the mines here directly back to the country. How convenient!

My dragons here are helping to place the magic pillars on the edge of the teleportation array. On the other side, several players are hand-carving ink jade to facilitate installation into the teleportation array. The large machinery is in the valley guarded by Hongyan, and now it has to be processed by hand. . At first, I didn't expect that Mo Yu would be discovered directly after occupying the city. Otherwise, there would be no need to transport so many cannons with red flames. Now, we have to transport them back again. It's really not worth the gain!

The battle on the Jiji City side ended surprisingly quickly. The opponent seemed to realize that the overall situation had been decided and took the initiative to give up the city's defense. Our cross-border teleportation array hasn't been completed yet, and the battle in the city over there is over. The system announcement suddenly sounded: "The city battle system is over. Congratulations to the Frost Rose Alliance for their victory. Because it involves the death battle mode, all items exploded by failed players are now handed over to the Frost Rose Alliance for processing." There was a crash and a pile of 'chaos' fell in front of me. The mess is like a hill. This rotten system is so irresponsible. Why don’t you just leave it in front of me and ignore it?

"The Hippie Alliance lost two cities in the defeat, and all players in the guild were collectively downgraded by 4 levels. Because the Hippie Alliance no longer has any cities, it is now mandatory to downgrade the Hippie Alliance. The guild has become a wandering guild, and the attributes of all city rewards have been cancelled. addition."

The Hippie Alliance is in bad luck now, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to turn around in the future. The guild was downgraded, the main staff also lost level 0, some even dropped level 400, and the entire guild basically lost its combat effectiveness.

The system announcement continues: "The following is an announcement for the Frost Rose Alliance. First, please ask President Ziri to name the new city."

This announcement was heard by everyone in the guild, and someone immediately started discussing it on the guild channel. I waited for them to discuss for a while and finally came up with the result. This free city with a dungeon was renamed the starting point city, which will become the starting point of our guild's American strategy in the future. According to everyone's opinions, Paradise City over there should not build a separate city, but merged it into Qidian City to expand the city area.

According to everyone's consciousness, the cities in our guild are very huge. If the starting point city is too small and you are not used to it, we might as well combine it with the nearby Paradise City into one city. Anyway, there are mountains blocking both sides. Once the two sides are connected with a city wall, it will become a city.

After accepting my naming, the system continued: "Quidian City confirmed that Paradise City has been cancelled, and its area has automatically entered the scope of Qidian City. As the first foreign guild to establish a city in the United States, it is specially gifted with auxiliary 'sexual' biological crystals. 10 female beetles. This ends the announcement.”

Crystal beetle mother? Isn't that that thing on the back of my neck? Just as I finished thinking about it, ten small red crystal-like bugs fell into my hand. It's really that stuff. When I looked at the properties, I realized that this one was different from the one on me. The thing in me that only needs to be merged with the human body to survive, but this one doesn't need to be. The thing that this guy needs to merge with is actually the city. If you raise the female bugs in the City Hall, you can get a large number of small bugs. Their functions are the same as my crystal beetles, which can eat ores to produce higher-level materials. Haha, now I don’t have to worry about the production of Ink Steel. It actually says at the end of the attribute that this thing has a certain attack power, but it doesn't say how high the attack power is at all, not even the creature's level. Probably the items used in the city have no level. Didn’t the original city tree also have no level display?

Now there are 10 female insects, which means they can be used in 10 cities. Super bases such as Essinger, Steel City, and Tianyu City definitely need to be placed, but other cities need to be considered. There should probably be one in Qidian City here, because this thing is good at mining. Anyway, the properties say that the number of larvae produced by the mother worm depends on the area of ​​the city. It is estimated that we can get a lot of larvae in this way. Essinger, Tianyu City and Steel City are all super cities.

I was studying these little bugs when I suddenly saw a prompt appear. Then the system notification rang. "The total area of ​​the city currently owned by the Frost Rose Alliance has reached the system requirements. The guild mascot will automatically enter the incubation period. Please pay attention to the birth of the mascot."

mascot? Where did our guild get its mascot? Wait, is it the colorful egg? I quickly took it out and looked at it. It was strange, nothing changed? Just when I was about to put the egg back, the colorful egg suddenly shook, and it really seemed like it was about to hatch.

"President, the transnational teleportation array is completed." A girl next to me came to remind me.

"I know." I quickly held the egg in my arms. "Please inform everyone to watch the live broadcast on the guild channel. The system has just informed us that the guild's mascot is about to hatch."

"Huh?" The girl was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately. "OK."

Just as the teleportation array was completed, I gathered the guild leaders and directly used the transnational teleportation array to return to Essinger, while all the online players in my guild were waiting for the birth of the guild mascot. Everyone wants to see what can be hatched from the Easter eggs exchanged for 1,000 totem beasts.

Several of our leaders were waiting for this exciting moment to arrive in Essinger's political hall. Our precious easter eggs were placed on a table covered with green velvet, and the surroundings were filled with excitement from our guild. player. The Easter egg was dangling on the table and it was obvious that it was about to come out. Everyone really wanted to help him get the eggshell open!

Click, a crack appeared on the eggshell, and all of our hearts lifted.
