600. New discoveries
Maybe you just cleared the minefield yesterday, and today you somehow have a few more mines.
All in all, this is a difficult task for ordinary people, even professionals.
Zhou Rui didn't ask Bai Xiangchang not to do it because of the difficulty of this task.
The more difficult it is, the more it reflects a person's value.
And if a force wants to move forward bravely, it must see blood.
It doesn't matter if it's someone else's or your own.
I have to say that Bai Xiangchang is indeed a talent, and he thought of a method that sounds incredible, but if it can really be realized, and the effect is extraordinary, that is, to arrange a minefield!
The so-called minefield refers to the arrangement of mine-guiding equipment at the edge of the minefield in an attempt to draw down the lightning and detonate the underground minefield.
If this means is successful, it can be followed by mechanical mine clearance, which can be supplemented by manual mine clearance.
Bai Xiangchang couldn't tell how long it would take to complete the work, but this was the most convenient and fast way he could think of at the moment.
As for blasting and minesweeping, Bai Xiangchang did not use it.
Because the islands in the sea are not strong enough, it is very normal to encounter earthquakes and tsunamis. If this minefield is blasted and causes an undersea earthquake, it will be more than worth the loss.
On the contrary, the power of thunder and lightning is violent enough, and the damage to the island is milder than ordinary blasting methods, so it has become his first choice.
However, it is not so easy to set up minefields, as mentioned earlier, because the islands often encounter stormy weather, and when it rains, it is not known how many mines are washed up elsewhere.
The expansion of the minefield caused Bai Xiangchang to suffer losses to three people the next day.
One of them was killed, the other two were seriously injured.
He had to be vigilant and whenever he came within three kilometers of the minefield, he swept it all the way with a minesweeper to confirm safety.
If a lone mine is found, it will be detonated immediately or manually cleared.
With such care, it took nearly a week or two to set up the minefield, and all that remained was to wait for the next thunderstorm.
During this period, Zhou Rui also sent Mace and others to hunt vampires on several other islands, as he said before.
Mace, once the backbone of the Holy See, has a natural hostility towards vampires. Even though he had become a vampire later, he had never considered these dark creatures his companions.
Especially now that he has sobered up, he has worshiped Zhou Rui as a god.
He will do whatever Zhou Rui asks him to do, without a little dissent.
The hunting of vampires is good for Zhou Rui, in addition to weakening the enemy's strength, it can also ensure the safety of his surroundings.
He didn't want this kind of hostile force to appear in the place where he could set foot.
The Centipede Sect seems to have been busy with other things recently, or is afraid of Zhou Rui's strength, so he didn't help.
So much so that the vampires on those islands were quickly swept away.
Mace, who harvested a large amount of blood crystals, devoured a portion of it.
But Su Xia is not wrong about one thing, the blood crystal will improve the physique of vampires, just like ordinary people taking medicine, it will produce "drug resistance".
The first blood crystal had increased Mace's strength by a very large margin.
But the second, the third, the fourth...... The further back you go, the smaller the lift.
By the time he devoured a dozen of them, it was already negligible.
As a result, the remaining blood crystals are preserved for other uses at a later date.
As for Mace's power, there is no better way to improve it for the time being.
Vampires are a very special race, they are the kind of creatures that lie down and cultivate in the true sense of the word.
Just sleeping, even doing nothing, can naturally enhance over time.
The older the vampire, the more powerful it is.
It is said that many thousands of years ago, when the true gods still existed, there were vampires who existed hundreds of thousands of years ago to form the Blood Elder's Church.
Every member of the Blood Clan Elders' Guild has survived for at least 100,000 years, and it is extremely powerful.
Except for the strongest gods, no one can match them.
The Blood Clan Elders, numbering in the thousands, swept the entire world, plunging the whole world into a boundless sea of blood and darkness.
However, the gods triggered Ragnarok, destroying themselves and the BloodClan Elders.
Since then, the power of the Blood Clan has been greatly weakened, and now, it has even been reduced to cooperating with forces like the Centipede Cult.
Although the matter about the Blood Clan Elders' Church is only a legend that circulates in a small area, the race that can leave this legend is generally not far behind.
Just like Huaxia, it has an unrivaled mythological system. For ordinary people, it is all a myth, but for Zhou Rui, it is not.
He believes that those myths were once real, and he is a proof!
Whether it is the Book of Morality, or the Master Book of Shadows, etc., including the current Centipede Cult, vampires, which one is not proving the truth of the myth?
So much so that Zhou Rui even wondered if there was enough golden light, if he could create a special area where time could pass quickly.
Then let Mace live in it, and after a hundred and eight thousand years, I don't know how strong he will be.
However, this idea was quickly abandoned by Zhou Rui, and it was too much power to create a special area that could allow time to pass quickly for 100,000 years, and it was definitely not something he could accomplish now.
When I get stronger and stronger in the future, maybe there will be a chance.
From this point of view, Metz is also a potential stock. The stronger Zhou Rui is, the more chances he has to become stronger.
Maybe one day, he'll become the legendary vampire.
In addition to exterminating the vampires on other islands, for the time being, Zhou Rui did not encounter any other troubles.
The work of clearing the islands is still ongoing.
Bai Xiangchang's plan was very successful, except for a few accidental casualties caused by the rain and the displacement of mines, the situation was generally good.
It took him about a little more than a month to clear the minefield.
The further you go into the minefield, the more complicated it becomes.
There are dozens of mixed mines, which makes demining not so smooth. Some mines are buried deep enough that they can't even be blasted. But once washed by the rain, it is easy to run out and explode.
This core area makes Bai Xiangchang anxious, and it is much more difficult to clean up than the peripheral area.
Zhou Rui still didn't care about this matter, no matter what the final result was, he would leave it to Bai Xiangchang to be responsible.
What he has to do is to accompany Ji Qingjun every day and spend a good day.
As the days passed, Ji Qingjun gradually got used to life on the island, unlike when he first came to the island, he would even vomit and lose his energy because of the water and soil.
Zhou Rui got her a special elixir, which could ensure that she would not be attacked by the sea breeze and would not be tanned by the sun.
This kind of elixir, Ji Qingjun still likes it a lot, what woman doesn't love beauty, especially in front of the man she loves.
And one day, Bai Xiangchang suddenly came to find Zhou Rui, he looked a little excited, and said as soon as they met: "You definitely won't believe what I found!"
Before he could satisfy his appetite, Bai Xiaoxi, who came with him on the side, had already shouted and said, "It's a grave!
Bai Xiangchang's face is dark, don't you know if the spoilers are about to die? Finally, I encountered something new and wanted to take it out to hang my appetite, and you burst it......
This news surprised Zhou Rui a little, the vampire's grave?
Generally speaking, vampires do not have graves.
They don't need it when they're alive, and when they're dead, they only leave blood crystals behind, and they don't need it.
As if seeing Zhou Rui's doubts, Bai Xiangchang hurriedly grabbed in front of Bai Xiaoxi and said, "That's right, it should be the grave of a vampire, I have asked Mace to go over and see it, and I have also been confirmed by him." According to him, it was supposed to be a cave left by a very old vampire, and many vampires were buried in it, and it became their grave. ”
A former papal and vampire, Mace knows a lot of secrets. Since he is sure, there should be no fake.
Zhou Rui immediately became interested, it was the first time he had heard that vampires would also make graves for themselves, it seemed that this was a group of petty bourgeois vampires.
The main thing is that the tomb is located on Penglai Island, which is its own territory. The appearance of such an unclear grave, without figuring it out, is likely to cause some kind of accident or danger.
If only Zhou Rui himself is here, he doesn't care, but Ji Qingjun is also there, then he has to figure out the truth.
With the guidance of Bai Xiangchang and others, Zhou Rui soon came to the core of the minefield.
For minesweeping work, Bai Xiangchang still has a lot of experience. In order to prevent the rain from washing out new mines, he specially reinforced the ground in all the minefields that had been cleared. In this way, even if the mine is washed out of the soil layer by the rain, it will completely "surface" and be exposed.
This is much easier for demining. Otherwise, it would not be as easy as words to clear such a large minefield in just over a month.
There is not much minefield left, and there are still personnel on the scene who continue to clear it, but the efficiency is much slower than before.
The mines here are too complex and varied, and many of them are intermingled to form a composite minefield. If you explode one, you may explode a large string and become a real place of death.
Or tear one down, maybe the second and third ones that are implicated below will be detonated.
All in all, the level of complexity is not something that can be explained in three or two sentences.
However, even if you stand outside the core minefield, you can see the huge entrance to the ground exposed.
The nearby soil layer has been blown clean, only the entrance is intact, I don't know what material it is, it looks like a stone, but it can withstand the explosion of so many mines without any damage.
From this point of view, it is very unusual.
