Chapter 469: Raging Treasure Hunter

"Your Majesty! The Scout is back. ”

Luo Zhengdao, who was in a daze in front of the treasure map, came back to his senses when he heard the voice, turned his head and asked:

"What did you find?"

"Hive!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao showed a look of surprise, followed him and touched his forehead, and said:

"Hive? Do you mean bee nests? How can there be bees underground? ”

"No, Your Majesty, please forgive your Majesty for not being able to describe it in words, you can only see for yourself."

The height and depth of the kind depends on the individual's talent and chance, at least at the level of entry, and the acquisition of knowledge no longer poses any hindrance.

The bare rock wall in front of us is densely covered with countless hexagonal holes, large and small, so many that people get goosebumps in their eyes, and when the air flows through these holes quickly, it makes a permeating whining sound, and combined with the surrounding darkness, this place is suitable for ghost filming.

Luo Zhengdao has personally seen the hardness of the rock formation under his feet, even if it is used as a grinding stone for sharpening knives and axes, there is no problem. It would be nice to say that these holes were natural, but if some kind of monster left traces of life, the danger of this place would be beyond the charts.

Suddenly realizing the potential threat, Luo Zhengdao's eyes suddenly rolled, and he instructed his entourage and said:

"Search the surrounding area and be careful not to alarm the monsters that may be there......"

"Bang-"

Before Luo Zhengdao finished speaking, a loud noise shook the entire area, countless stone chips and dust fell from above, and the team members shouted in horror:

"Explosion?".

"Where is it?"

"It seems to have come from above."

In a panic, Luo Zhengdao, whose expression did not change, raised his head and looked at the top of his head, with the help of the firelight and the brightness of the lighting crystal, he could only see a large area of bare white rock walls, and other things could only be based on personal imagination, and it was impossible to say whether this noise was a natural change or a human factor. Despite this, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"Everyone, be on guard!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

From the time he learned to play the game, he came into contact with RPG games, and one of the things Luo Zhengdao hated the most was to break into the maze mode, although he was not a road idiot in the standard sense, but his perception of the maze was also extremely bad. Since the partial soul crossed into the new world, it seems that this matter has lost all the character that Luo Zhengdao has accumulated in his life, and carefully recalls that the activities he is most often in contact with are dealing with all kinds of labyrinths in addition to escaping. Nine!

"Goo-dong-"

There was another loud bang, but it was much lower than the previous one, and Luo Zhengdao could finally determine that this was not an accidental natural phenomenon, and muttered:

"What's going on up there?"

"Your Majesty!"

The matter has come to this point, there is no turning back from the bow, even if he knows that some dangerous factors are approaching, Luo Zhengdao will have to think about serious things first, facing his subordinates with a puzzled face, he said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to find the proof of the overlord, and we can ignore other things for the time being, and don't think too much about it unless the enemy appears in front of us, you know?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When the situation was urgent, he didn't have time to think about it anymore, Luo Zhengdao squinted his eyes and looked at the beehive-like rock wall in front of him, he felt that since there was air circulation, it proved that there was another way out, and he couldn't find any other doubts left and right so he could only start from here. So, Luo Zhengdao greeted and said:

"Demolition team, up!"

"Boom ......"

The violent explosion echo reverberated back and forth in the underground space, and the effectiveness was comparable to that of a sonic weapon, Luo Zhengdao, who felt a burst of discomfort, covered his chest with his hand and rested for a while, before he said:

"Sean, take your men in and scout."

The price of a pair of boots with spider walking is not cheap, at least it costs more than a thousand gold coins, and individual adventurers will have liver pain when they buy a pair, Luo Zhengdao is not bad for this kind of small money, and he generously equipped the elite scouts of the expedition, including expensive enchanted equipment. At this moment, the power of money was finally revealed, and the scouts of the advance detachment, with the assistance of their companions in enchanted boots, each dragged the rope to move deeper into the cave.

Seeing this scene, Luo Zhengdao did not feel heartache about spending money, for the monarch who controls the financial resources of a country, all the troubles that can be settled by spending some money are not a big deal, and the real tricky thing is that he can't do it after throwing money, and then he really called it a big problem!

"Your Majesty! Behind is a shaft. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was in good spirits, walked quickly to the wellhead, stretched out his hand and said:

"Give me the lighting crystals."

"Uhhh

Watching the lighting crystal gradually fall until it turned into an inconspicuous smiling spot in the field of vision, a member of the team next to him took a deep breath and said:

"It should be at least more than 500 yards deep."

Luo Zhengdao, who had no objection to this, nodded and said:

"Let's set up the winch, let's put the rope ladder down."

From the moment he saw this shaft, Luo Zhengdao recalled some rumors, and finally believed that the news that the Rushmore Islands were originally a piece of land was true, and the expedition team went around and down all the way. Although it has taken a lot of wrongful paths, according to the barometer, the distance into the ground is at least a few hundred yards, and now that you count the depth of this shaft, many of the small enclaves should be able to see the sea water that envelops the underlying rock mass. However, further down there are still solid and thick rock formations, which proves that the previous nonsense is not as unremarkable as it sounds, and that the bedrock beneath the archipelago is a huge land plate connected to the surrounding islands, not isolated islands.

It is clear that finding the last piece of evidence of the overlord is likely to be the most difficult treasure hunt challenge to date, Luo Zhengdao has the determination and material preparation to fight a protracted battle, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice some of his men when necessary, although he believes that letting soldiers die meaninglessly is the greatest manifestation of the commander's incompetence, and now it is also a critical point where all sacrifices are worth it.

"Let's get started!"

"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh......"

"Safety!"

"Safety!"

"There is no danger!"

“…… Here's the situation! ”

Hearing the sound, he hurried over with a few people, and when he saw the scene in front of him, Luo Zhengdao was also a little dumbfounded, and muttered:

"It's ...... Liquid? ”

After passing through the shaft, one saw a large empty dark space, with a dead end of hitting the rock wall in all directions, and a large jelly-like translucent mass in the direction of the only possible passage. Tentatively touched it with a wooden stick a few times, only to feel that the feel was slightly elastic, and it would automatically return to its original state soon after being poked with a sharp weapon, which stumped Luo Zhengdao.

After stopping and thinking for a while, Luo Zhengdao, who didn't feel very good, decided to be careful, beckoned to his subordinates and said:

"Come on, let's put a cage of rats over and try it."

The most terrifying thing in the expedition is not to encounter powerful monsters, but to encounter those strange traps, many of which are designed with extremely vicious and ferocious ideas, and are simply unheard of pits, because those who are lucky enough to see these evil things have little chance to tell others about their experiences, and all their bones are buried in their own discoveries. For this reason, the expedition team specially prepared small birds and mice and rabbits that detect air changes and toxin-type traps and life-triggered magic traps, which cannot be said to be very effective, anyway, they are much better than nothing.

Due to the size of the expedition, the expedition team brought more rats than rabbits, and at this time, several team members opened the wire door of the rat cage according to the order, and forced the rats to run towards the unknown substance in front of them with torches.

"Hey, it's melting! It's all melted! Did you see it, they melted! ”

In the blink of an eye, I watched as the living rodents and their belt bones were dissolved into a liquid state by the gelatinous translucent substance, and in less than a minute, only a pair of slender bones remained. Witnessing such a terrifying and terrifying scene, the people who didn't vomit on the spot were considered nervous, and the witnesses present all felt a tingle in their backs, and when they calmed down, they thought about the process carefully, assuming that they would rush in rashly and what would happen, and the feeling of fear was really sour.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

"Well, leave a blasting group, and the others will go up there and wait for news."

Listening to Luo Zhengdao's instructions, the five members of the demolition group laughed more ugly than crying, they were not afraid of death, the problem was that today's matter could not be solved by risking their lives, and hurriedly defended and said:

“…… Your Majesty, we're really not sure, we've never tried this kind of limited blasting before! ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao raised his eyebrows, made a look of displeasure, and said:

"Hey, there is always a first time, don't you have experience if you try it today? Time is running out, so let's get started! ”

The official level crushed people to death, not to mention the coercion of Luo Zhengdao, the founding monarch, was even worse, although several people in the demolition team felt that they were not sure, the king talked about this, and he could only bite the bullet.

"Boom-"

After the strong shock wave and sound generated by the explosion all subsided, a group of people and horses who went to investigate the situation ran back in horror to resume their lives, and after listening to their statements, Luo Zhengdao asked loudly:

"Alive? What do you mean by living? ”

"In the same way as the literal meaning, my majesty, this gelatinous substance is the ** organization of some kind of monster, and if I guessed correctly, it is unimaginably large."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn around and glance at the large lump of translucent gel that was still blocking the way not far away, and everyone realized how tricky this trouble was, even if this thing was originally a slime, and its combat effectiveness was weak to slag, just because it was so large that it was not an ordinary means to settle it.
