The wide, dimly lit cabin was unusually broken, with patches of patios leaking out of the head, large openings in the bulkheads in the distance, and large pits everywhere on the ground, even in the lowest power compartment. A steam engine comparable to a small building is torn apart, and the scene is like a post-apocalyptic scene ravaged by monsters.

Gao De looked at the place where Xiaoli had fought, and suddenly had a bold idea. Once the location of the Black Shark is determined, if the excavation progress is not optimistic, pull her over as a human excavator. With her ability, digging a kilometer a day shouldn't be a problem. Counting the time it took to clean up and build the passage, even if the Black Shark was thirty kilometers underground and separated by several rock formations, it would be three months at most.

Of course, this is just a delusion, whether Xiaoli is willing to do this hard work or not, it can be seen that she and Granny Yao are not very enthusiastic about this ancient warship, it seems that this "100,000-year-old secret" is not a secret to them. Thinking seriously, the Holy Mountain should have known about the existence of the Black Shark for a long time, and even knew that Haita would master the Black Shark and hand it over to a group of inconspicuous thugs as a training base.

Then things are a bit paradoxical, digging out the Black Shark is actually his proposal, and Xiaoli and Granny Yao have no objections. If the Black Shark really didn't have any secrets, they shouldn't have this attitude, and the Empress didn't need to spend so much time on it.

Gao De held his hand and drilled a hole in the rock wall, faintly giving a strange sense of déjà vu, as if everyone else was waiting for him to push open the door of an old mansion to see what was the condition of the owner who had a grudge against them. Only then will they behave as both indifferent and caring.

Punched a hole that was about three fingers thick and the entire forearm deep, Gao De stuffed the detonator he was carrying with him, this was still asked for by Lu Jiumei, pulled out the fuse and hid far away to prepare to detonate.

He was going to blow up some rock fragments and take them back for analysis, and find someone who understands geology to analyze the stratum where the Black Shark is located. There are geological experts in the Ministry of War and Engineering, but those people can't go down to work in a place full of chaotic power, so only he, the admiral, will go into battle himself.

There was a muffled boom, and a large stream of rubble erupted from the rock wall, Gao De leaned on the other side of the steam engine with his arms in his arms, waiting for the smoke and dust to dissipate before passing, but saw Ran Ran smoke and dust condensed into a tall figure, standing not far away and quietly looking at himself.

"I thought you had forgotten me," the ship spirit Guo Ruide said in a grueful voice, "I haven't been here for so many days, have you forgotten that you left a soul mark on me and set a fire." ”

"It's too busy......"

Gao De expected this guy to appear? Are you afraid of what kind of moth Guo Ruide is doing? He didn't go to the bridge, but blew the stone directly underneath.

"Busy making all sorts of preparations? So that you can see the light of day again. You should understand? Take something as big as you...... Battleship, get out of such a deep underground? It's almost impossible for people in this day and age. Only people like me dare to promise you, and I am not lying to you. ”

Gao De said very casually? Test this guy's tone. "It's only the evaluation stage so far? Whether it can be done depends on the results of the assessment. Speaking of which, do you really not know anything about the bad environment around you, and if you are sure to dig it up, you can control the forces of chaos to prevent the bridge from blowing up or something happen in this world?"

Digging up the Black Shark was not only his idea, but also Guo Ruide's request. Whether the ship spirit Guo Ruide has buried any pits in this matter, he actually has no bottom in his heart. But is there one thing you can confirm? Even if there are pitfalls, it's not too much trouble? There's Xiaoli here.

"Where do I know so much, I tell you everything I need to do. Guo Ruide looked very calm, "One hundred thousand years ago, Guo Ruide drove the Black Shark to Aurora, and when he was about to arrive at the coast, chaos broke through from me and swept the entire battleship. The people of Xianzhou rushed to help, but everyone died at that time? Guo Ruide has also become me. How did the people of Xianzhou deal with it, I was confused at that time, and I couldn't remember, I only knew that when I was awake, the Black Shark became a memorial? That was all tens of thousands of years later, and Xianzhou also became a holy mountain. ”

"And then my memory is intermittent? The understanding of Aurora also comes from the tourists who come to visit. Thousands of years have passed, and consciousness is blurred again? Wake up and find yourself buried underground? It was also used as a lair by a group of filthy and despicable demons. ”

The smoke is gradually dissipating? Guo Ruide's figure began to blur, but the chaotic power disturbed the air, still spelling out a rough outline.

"The Black Shark has an eternal timer, and although it will be infected by the power of chaos and have some deviations, the deviations will not exceed a hundred years. To be honest, when I found out that another 80,000 years had passed, I was actually very desperate in my heart, but fortunately, I only waited for a few hundred years to wait for you. ”

"As for where and how deep I am buried," the ship spirit Guo Ruide shrugged and spread his hands, "I have no idea at all, and I only learned from talking to the people who got the permission in the bridge in the first place that there is an extra bay here." Those people have also studied where I am buried, and the teleporter they got is the result of research. It should be right above me, no more than twenty kilometers away. ”

Gao De didn't expect any new information from Guo Ruide, so he went to the blasted wall, took off the miner's lamp hanging on his waist to illuminate the wall, and broke off a few pieces of fragments to look at it carefully. Guo Ruide's air projection followed behind, watching him go about his work.

Is this really a place ten or twenty kilometers deep underground?

Looking at the blasted rock wall, and thinking back to the last time he observed it on this level, Gao De had this question.

If it was the world in the previous life, ten kilometers underground was either all kinds of groundwater or combustible gas, or broken and interlaced strata. Many of the earthquakes occurred at this depth, and in any case they were extremely active structures, but no signs of anything like this were seen here.

Could it be that the initial estimate was wrong, that the Black Shark was not actually buried that deep, a few kilometers at most?

Gao De shook his head slightly to deny this inference, if the burial was very shallow, the demon would not have to make much movement to dig a passage from the ground directly to the Black Shark, instead of relying only on the teleporter with deadly security hazards.

Then there is only one other possibility, the geological structure of this world is different from the previous life, even the strata dozens of kilometers underground are very stable.

Gao De was fascinated, and the ship spirit Guo Ruide suddenly asked leisurely: "Do you really want to dig me out?"

Isn't that nonsense?

"Is there any problem?" Gao De asked rhetorically, "I promised you, but I don't promise that I will be able to do it." As I said earlier, the power of mortals in this era is limited, and it would be like a miracle to get a battleship as big as yours back into the sea. But digging a passage from the ground to expose you to the outside air should be fine. ”

"Haven't you thought about the consequences?" Guo Ruide thought about him as if he had changed his temperament: "Those people used to tell me that mortals nowadays are ignorant and ignorant, and they don't even know that chaos is pressing on their heads, and their joys, sorrows, and sorrows directly correspond to the stupidity of demons. If you let my 100,000-year-old warship see the light of day, there shouldn't be a way to keep it completely secret, right? Then mortals must ask what the history of 100,000 years is all about, and then know that I have an entrance to the gray realm and the present world, and their existing understanding of the whole world should collapse, right?"

"Are you worried about secrecy measures?" Gao De confessed to him, "I also forgot to explain my identity to you in detail, you should know that the current Aurora Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty, and the people who used to control you were just a group of maritime thugs, and they mixed the identity of a low-level thug in the Ming Dynasty." As for me, I am now a member of the military department, a commander of the sea of stars, and a fellow of the Jinyi Guard, and I am a minister who can go to the court to discuss state affairs with the emperor. You don't have to worry about confidential matters, I'll arrange it naturally. ”

"I have an impression of all these official positions you mentioned," Guo Ruide chuckled, "It is probably equivalent to the assistant to the Minister of War, the sheriff of the Gulf, and the deputy head of the Royal Knights, and his status is really noble." However, it is nothing in front of Guo Ruide, according to his mortal status, he is one of the eleven Grand Dukes of Bato. ”

"Even the prince is not a showman," Gao De scoffed, "let alone the duke, the prince has to be a man with his tail between his legs." ”

I still know what I say. This is just the difference between the East and the West, the Bato people are equivalent to the Westerners in the previous life, and Guo Ruide is a feudal nobleman with his own fief, equivalent to the king of an independent kingdom.

"But I'm not worried about myself," Guo Ruide turned back, "but about you, I'm equal to history, an example of 100,000 years of history." Even if secrecy is done well, it is not accessible to the general public, but thousands of workers and soldiers will have it. Their suspicion of history and their confusion about the world will really attract strange demons, are you really mentally prepared for this?"

Gao De was silent, he really hadn't thought about it.

To be honest, digging up ancient warships is not a particularly important thing, let alone related to life and death, even if it is just the future, it doesn't matter much. But why did Guo Ruide not only agree to this request without hesitation, but also subconsciously regarded it as a very important thing, and did not hesitate to pay a certain price for it?

Thoughts washed over one after another, and the experience of the Tonggushan mine flooded into his mind, making him suddenly realize.

It's not that he is bewitched by Guo Ruide, nor is it just curiosity, he wants to know who he really is, and he wants to find out what is going on in this world. Digging up this ancient warship and revealing 100,000 years of history is like igniting a soul and burning a demon's body, all of which are moving towards such a goal.

If you want to live in peace and stability, and if you want to get a pension, you can't expect to close your eyes and cover your ears to stay away from trouble, you have to figure everything out.

However, Guo Ruide is right to remind that the birth of the Black Shark will inevitably affect the hearts of mortals.

The Ming Dynasty has been working hard to cover up the truth for thousands of years, making hundreds of millions of mortals confuse chaos demons with gods, ghosts and demons, thinking that even existence has nothing to do with them. Even if there is a huge demon class, there is also the suppression of the Holy Mountain, which has not had much impact on the lives of ordinary mortals. I also agree with this approach, and it was through manipulating public opinion that I earned the first pot of gold and won the empress's appreciation.

Then getting the Black Shark out would be in conflict with such a principle.

What does this Guo Ruide want to say?

"It seems that you don't care," Guo Ruide seemed to sense Gao De's emotions, but had a misunderstanding. "You only care about your curiosity to dig into history and explore the unknown, or you just do your best for your queen, oh, and the Holy Mountain. You have pure mortal power, you can ignite your soul, and you are still a member of the Holy Mountain. ”

"Do you want to go out?"

Gao De said angrily: "It's you who want to go out, and you come to accuse the person who helped you realize your wishes, I haven't seen you such a hypocritical instrument." ”

How nice it would be if this guy was a little melon or a little man......

"As for your question," Gao De did not avoid Guo Ruide's question, "It is risky to get you out, and I also agree that there must be a certain degree of control over what mortals see and know, after all, chaos is related to people's hearts. But in the end, I still think that if there is even a little hope in this world, we have to find the truth, and we have to make everyone realize what the world is like. For example, you can tell a lie, or say nothing, but you have to exist, you have to give the opportunity to tell the truth later. ”

"Hah...... Haha......"

Guo Ruide smiled, laughing quite vicissitudes, "Your words are really similar to what the first director of the memorial hall who partnered with me said at the beginning." Don't pay too much attention to the details we leave behind, as they will always disappear as time goes by. The important thing is that we have to be here, so that generations of mortals have a place to trace their history, so that they can get ...... through us."

The tone that followed was exceptionally heavy and serious, "Gain confidence and courage." ”

As if unintentionally solving a puzzle, the secret door opens, and the secret path to victory appears.

Guo Ruide spread his hands and said: "Last time, you only relied on strength to obtain Guo Ruide's approval, this time Guo Ruide confirmed your position, and he felt that he could give you a chance to get the ultimate secret from him." ”

Gao De is just suspicious, what tricks is this guy playing?

"I, Gorde, are called the Holy Soul by those people," Gorde's silhouette looked up at the sky like a saint, "I am the combination of the leader of Juststar and the Grand Duke of Bartow, Gorred and the spirit of the Black Shark, and those people want to obtain the ultimate secret from me, and I have decided from the beginning that they are not qualified. ”

"Now you have that qualification, Aurora Gaode. ”

Guo Ruide's voice echoed slowly, like an oracle, "Defeat the real Guo Ruide, let him lift the ban, and I will tell you everything you want to know." ”

"If he wants to beat me, I have to fight him, and I'm very shameless. Gao Deleng responded like this, he didn't think about fighting when he came, he still didn't bring Xiao Hu's battle armor, he only hung a golden gourd hammer, how to fight?

"And how are you going to fight?" Thinking that his true reliance was mortal fire, Gao De didn't care too much without the battle armor. "You should know that in that kind of place, I just need to burn it up, no matter who it is, even if it is the real Guo Ruide reborn, it will not be my opponent. ”

"You're right......"

The projection of the ship spirit Guo Ruide turned around and floated towards the open space, stopping nearly a hundred meters away from Gao De, and sending out an ethereal sound.

"The real Guo Ruide can't be reborn, the moment he fuses his soul with me, he is completely dead. But he had to be physically still, and it was his body that turned the Black Shark into a prison battleship, enclosing the forces of chaos in the battleship. The Black Shark has also become his tomb, and his coffin is behind you. ”

Gao De was so frightened that he was furious, and subconsciously took a few steps back, thinking that the place he was leaning on was a steam engine, but he didn't expect it to be a coffin!
