"It's true that we haven't eaten for a long time, but isn't it a little too inhumane to continue doing physical labor in order to eat?"

"There is a saying among our tribe that there is no food without work, and you adventurers who often bargain with us for their remuneration must know this very well."

"If we really want to talk about the so-called employment relationship between us and our employers, we have a hundred ways to determine in advance our salaries and meals during our employment, but now that we are facing an impromptu underground expedition, there is no point in talking about these things. What's more—"

"You're not our mercenary, so what are you doing in this place...... Drink! ”

Reappeared between the stabilized strata, and the figure belonging to Duan Qing also piled up a new layer of earth wall in front of several people who were slowly marching along the edge of the cliff at this time, blocking the outside wind in a physical way, and then he also panted and let go of the breath he had been tense, and at the same time added a new layer of windproof enchantment on his body: "Whew, whew...... What do you think? How far is it going? ”

"It's 320 miles in a straight line."

The deafening sound of digging was then heard from in front of him, accompanied by a subsequent reminder from Kyle II: "Your earthen wall is only eight seconds, adventurer." ”

"I ...... Of course...... Know. ”

Wiping the sweat oozing from his forehead, Duan Qing, who was in charge of pouring the windproof wall on the side with magic, spoke up again with difficulty: "I'm volunteering for you with the hunger DEBUFF, so you can leave me a little bit of room for tolerance, okay?" ”

"I understand your current state." The voice of the electronic flow flickered around him for a while, and the voice belonging to Kyle II, which imitated the tone of a human voice, also sounded in Duan Qing's ears in a low voice: "It's a pity that as a magic weapon, I can't help you in this regard, I can only hope that you will continue to persevere, and finish the last part of the excavation road that you must adhere to." ”

"After all, in this environment and conditions, if you want to get to the rest area, this method is currently the safest way."

The roaring sound then echoed in front of several people again, it was the sound of Kyle II once again using his mechanical arm to dig out a large piece of rock and soil in front of the narrow cliff edge, and Duan Qing, who endured the noise, then struggled to recondense the scattered dirt into an earthen wall that surrounded the edge of the cliff, barely blocking the wind that was still flowing outside the scope of the team. Still following at the back of the line due to the effect of the curse, the white-haired woman named Snow Spirit Phantom Ice then raised her hand to cover the countless rubble and dust that had been thrown all over her head, and her steps were vague, she carefully examined the seemingly hard walls and ground around the improvised route, and finally said in a low voice as if reminding the gray-robed magician in front of her: "Don't use magic so often, your spirit looks weak." ”

"I'm fine, I'd better make it a priority to get on the road for now." Putting on a comforting smile behind him, Duan Qing, who was full of heat, reluctantly cocked the thumb of his left hand: "Besides, using earth-based magic to move, soften, and solidify is better than condensing earth elements out of thin air and creating earth elements." ”

"I know you don't want to be exposed to this storm for long, but without the undead, these environmental threats are nothing." Involuntarily lowered his voice, Xue Ling Phantom Ice quietly glanced at the tall back in front of Duan Qing: "It's it-"

"Don't worry, let's find a really suitable place to rest first." Shaking his head and interrupting the other party's words, Duan Qing's indifferent expression then disappeared into his turned voice: "We have experienced so many battles, we must first recover our physical strength and energy, if the character is not in good shape, the chances of winning will naturally decrease when facing the last moment." ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you're still very capable." The lazy voice belonging to Shi Ayun was then inserted into Duan Qing's voice, and the corresponding man who looked like a homeless man also staggered to the two of them at this time: "In the end, I was able to take out that long weapon, and I got all the skeletal archers and skeleton mages in it." ”

"It's called Grimmauld Star II, and it's based on Ba, a simple imitation of a legendary magic firearm." As if mentioning his proud work, Duan Qing put on a confident smile at the other party: "Don't underestimate the invention ability of our magicians and alchemists, as long as we have another world—well, as long as we have enough imagination, designing a killing weapon of this level is simply easy for us." ”

"I have indeed seen the power of any magic firearm, and it is indeed better than that of bows and arrows." Nodding his head, Shi Ayun's face was still covered with a lazy and indifferent expression: "But if you really compete with the masters of the major clans who are good at using bows and arrows, I'm afraid you won't be opponents." ”

"The way firearms are used is of course different from bows and arrows, at least in style." Reaching out to the side that made a loud digging sound again, he lifted a new earthen wall, and Duan Qing, who had taken two steps forward, then also showed an expression of interest: "Those powerful archers really don't look like humans in battle, but if we train them well, we who use firearms may not be their opponents." ”

"Especially when the distance is stretched to a certain extent, the advantage of our side will be infinitely widened." He put away his left hand to cast the spell, and then stretched out his hand to the weakened Snow Spirit Phantom Ice behind him, "Even if it's a sniper, as long as you can hit the target with one shot—"

"Hey, I'm a melee class." The stubborn white-haired woman stretched out her hand and interrupted Duan Qing's words: "When did I say that I was going to be your gunman?" It's just a matter of necessity, so don't expect me to change jobs like that. ”

"Don't you think about this beautiful and beautiful lady? This gun is just a prototype, if you promise to do my experiments often in the future...... Ahem, I mean, if you're my full-time firearms tester, you'll be able to take people's heads thousands of miles away and kill people without showing your face—"

"If I don't come, I don't want to be a remote professional." With his eyes closed, Duan Qing's gesture was pushed aside, and Xue Linghuan Bing, who had barely lifted his spirits, replied with a little more disdain: "And you are already a guinea pig for several people, right?" Do you still want me to be the subject of your experiment? ”

"Their tests are all about magic and technology, so how can they be linked to a firearm artifact?" Needing to release his next magic spell, Duan Qing, who was sweating profusely, still spared no effort to recommend his unique skills: "My firearms are unique, and they have nothing to do with those so-called magic mentors and the like, they will never interfere." ”

"Oh? Then I can't say yes even more. Seeing that the tiredness on the other party's face had faded a little because of this distracting conversation, the corners of Xue Ling's phantom ice mouth also turned up again: "God knows if these immature firearms skills of yours have any actual development prospects?" Where is the scientific basis? Where is the security? There is nothing on this continent that can prove the strength of your weapons. ”

"Why not, you can't just look at those backward tribes." Ignoring Shi Ayun's gaze staring at him on the side, Duan Qing confidently gestured to the front: "Look at our great Kyle II, it also showed us powerful creation technology in previous battles, presumably this magic guide weapon must be able to understand the power of this weapon, right?" ”

"Answer: Similar information was found, and the similarity rate was 73%." An indifferent synthesized voice then came from the tall back in front of him, accompanied by a sense of dissonance that belonged to Kyle II's transformation from a ruthless synthesized voice to a sentient analogue voice: "If you can answer it in a way that is acceptable to you, in the information I have, the weapon you used just now called 'firearms' did appear on this continent. ”

"Some of the magic weapons I have in my arsenal are also one of those weapons."

The sound of transformation began to ring in the ears of the three people, and the magic creature that was moving forward then also raised its arm that had turned into a huge barrel, and the circulating fluorescent light also gradually gathered with an ominous aura, and began to bulge forward along the two thick arms: "You, you, you, what are you going to do?" ”

"Since it needs to be shown, it is natural to show you as complete as possible."

The endless wind began to rewind in the gathering of energy radiance, and the roar that had been compressed to the limit and seemed to have to be emitted then drowned out a little of Kyle II's reply: "Just to speed up the excavation." ”

"Wait, wait!" hurriedly made a defensive move forward, and the exclamations belonging to Duan Qing also hurriedly echoed in this narrow cliff: "You want to fire in this place?" We're all behind you! ”

"Unlike the guns and weapons you use, most of the light cannons we use use magical energy as ammunition." The roar, which was still intensifying, became more and more harsh, and the magical energy circulating around Kyle II began to shine like the sun with light and heat that ordinary people could not bear: "Although in my current damaged state, there may be a little energy dissipated when it is launched, but-"

"At least the reduced recoil can be guaranteed."

Rumble!

Two streaks of snow-white light erupted forward as Kyle II's last words fell, scraping two straight holes along the edge of the cliff, and the burst of rock and dirt then melted into the wind-swept abyss of the nearby windswept abyss as the highly concentrated light and heat continued to open up like lasers.

******************************

"So weapons of mass destruction like this were all over the place thousands of years ago?"

The storm that still raged around the platform area was occasionally mixed with the fragmented limbs of skeletons whose bodies had been torn apart, and in the corner of the vast space that seemed cold because of their exit, the figure of the last player who had escaped into the depths of a certain entrance and exit was then crossed, and the white-haired woman, who barely managed to hide outside the range of the storm with heavy steps, then also looked back at the passage formed by the previous shelling, and the feeling of lingering palpitations slowly disappeared like the residual warmth that escaped outside the trajectory of the two light cannons:" And also with energy as ammunition? ”

"It seems that our imagination is far behind others." Duan Qing, who answered her, had already disappeared into the front of the passage, and the pace that seemed to be following the footsteps of Kyle II on the ground was also a little urgent: "No, it can't be said that our magic technology has not lagged behind, but the way of application needs to be improved...... Is this the rest area? ”

"We've crossed straight over Connectivity III and are already within the confines of the rest area." The swaying tall back in front of him was followed by Kyle II's characteristic electronic synthesized voice: "But from the current situation, this place has changed dramatically. ”

"At least the feature for rest hasn't been enabled for a long time." It unfolded one of its mechanical arms, and its pace stopped at the exit of the square passage: "I'm afraid the reserves that can be used as food and water have become zero." ”

Following the gesture of its unfolded mechanical arm, rows of room-like metal doors appeared on one of the metal walls, scattered clutter and the occasional flash of magic that flickered like a short circuit, merging with the darkness of the occasional half-open and half-closed metal doors: "Sorry, this place seems to be unmanaged. ”

"You guys should rest here for a while."

A magical light flashed on the mechanical arm, but it did not cause any reaction in this area, and Kyle II, who was standing in place with a square head twisting his head, then also delayed for a while with an electronic flickering sound all over his body, and then slowly turned to the direction where Duan Qing and the others were: "No threat has been found, this place is safe for the time being." ”

"You, where are you going?" The three humans, including Shi Ayun, then crossed its body as well, and the steps that were about to move forward also stopped in the sudden turning of the magical creation: "Aren't you going to rest here together?" ”

"I don't need to rest." The heavy footsteps belonging to Kyle II did not stop, and the tall back of the farther and farther away gradually disappeared into the depths of the passage to which this row of rooms pointed: "The energy supply circuit here has been damaged. ”

"I need to fix it."
