Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ideal Munitions Factory
"Ah......" After venting happily for a while, Lao Jiu began to look at the surrounding environment. This is also an underground space, with stalactites everywhere above his head, and under him is a small lake with a radius of thousands of meters, and there are several caves around the small lake, and I don't know where it leads.
This small lake and the waterhole beneath the Kunpeng's lair should have formed a U-shaped tube, and this is the real underground cave. After coming up from the lake, Lao Jiu began to investigate this cave, and if this cave is big enough, it may be used as a secret base in the future.
The cave is full of strange stones, stalactites and stalagmites are intertwined, forming a beautiful picture. It is more than 20 meters high and more than 2 kilometers in circumference. Lao Jiu first chose a channel to explore, this walk was more than three kilometers, all the way down, and once again appeared at the bottom of a hole forty or fifty meters high and hundreds of meters wide.
After taking a look, there are still a lot of karst caves around, and it seems that the scale of this karst cave group should not be small, so Lao Jiu began to investigate patiently. As time passed, Lao Jiu had to sigh at the magic of nature.
At Lao Jiu's speed, it took five days to survey in the karst caves, and the scale of the entire karst cave group almost exceeded Lao Jiu's estimate. In this cave complex, the height difference reaches 700 meters, and the vertical height is 400 meters.
And there is a cave bottom projection area of nearly five square kilometers, which is almost impossible in reality. This is also the largest cave hall in the cave complex, and there is a lake in the middle of the hall with many fish in it.
The entire cave group is connected by a series of karst caves, only seven karst cave passages, directly leading to the outside world, and nine karst cave halls, corresponding to the extinct volcanic crater above, the sun shines through the crater, and the real karst cave is beautiful.
With the largest karst cave hall radiating around, the longest karst cave reaches 200 kilometers, and the shortest one has more than ten kilometers, and the underground karst cave structure is extremely complex, which has almost become the best secret base in Lao Jiu's mind.
Lao Jiu carried a large amount of gold coins and Jiuding, in order to be able to establish a teleportation array at any time. He did not choose the largest cave hall, but chose a relatively remote cave hall as the construction position of the teleportation array, which was also to better protect the teleportation array in the future.
When the teleportation array was built, Lao Jiu immediately returned to Dream City and began to hold an emergency military meeting. He ordered Ma Jun to lead all the soldiers above level 30 to secretly teleport to the cave group and start building a military base.
In today's Dream City, there are as many as 200,000 soldiers above level 30, but fortunately, the cave group is very large and can accommodate so many people, it is no problem. At the same time, Lao Jiu invested a lot of money, bought 100,000 NPCs, and began to change the defense of each fortress, and then let other fighters hurry up and upgrade.
Lao Jiu has already made a clear allocation to the karst cave group, which is the ideal military production base. Seven caves linked to the outside world will be guarded by 5,000 people, and the high-lying karst caves have been artificially dug and used as military factories and storage rooms for equipment and grass.
After investing a lot of manpower and material resources, Lao Jiu only took three days to move the entire military production base in. At the same time that all the military production lines in Dream City quietly entered the cave group, Lao Jiu also asked Ma Jun and them to start building a military garrison under the conditions of the cave group.
In this way, the soldiers trained in Dream City can be continuously sent to the cave group, so that their real military strength will completely turn from light to darkness. Since he had been delayed in the cave group for too long, after arranging everything, Lao Jiu was ready to continue to set off north!
Before leaving, Lao Jiu found a few women again to discuss, that is, the recruitment of talents. At present, Lao Jiu has a large amount of funds in his hands, and these funds can only be regarded as playing their real role when they become his real strength.
Lao Jiu asked Er Pang to buy a large number of supplies, and on the other hand, he asked Calm to recruit a large number of NPC talents throughout the Huaxia Empire, and then transported them to Dream City. In addition, let Long Sifeng keep buying NPC troops and training recruits.
After arranging all this, Lao Jiu chose a cave to the north and began his journey. This cave is not too long, it is the only one, the exit is in the northern cave, but it is more than a hundred kilometers away from Kunpeng's lair, Lao Jiu is temporarily out of the threat of Kunpeng, as long as you are careful, you should be able to safely get out of Kunpeng's territory.
After calculating the distance, Lao Jiu started from Dream City, and by now, he should have traveled almost a thousand kilometers to the north, and it is not too far from the destination, but because there are no roads in the wilderness, and there are many high-level magical beasts, Lao Jiu's speed is not very fast.
After advancing for dozens of kilometers, Lao Jiu suddenly found a strange phenomenon, that is, many surrounding forests and landforms had been seriously destroyed, and along the way, Lao Jiu did not find any traces of high-level demonic beasts, which made Lao Jiu wonder.
Along the way, Lao Jiu found more and more traces of destruction, and then thought about Kunpeng, who had gone crazy in the past few days, he seemed to understand something. It seems that Kunpeng has been venting his anger around for the past few days, but its anger is not something that any demonic beast can resist, so there is a scene in front of him, a high-level demonic beast with wisdom either ran away or was tortured and killed by Kunpeng.
This made Lao Jiu have to sigh that Kunpeng's strength is so strong. If he has such strength, then who would dare to speak loudly with him? If you get angry, you will be killed directly. Lao Jiu couldn't help but say YY in his heart.
Without the threat of Warcraft, it stands to reason that Lao Jiu's speed should be increased again, but something helpless happened to Lao Jiu. A game that didn't rain in the summer, overnight, it snowed heavily. Lao Jiu, who originally thought that there was no rain and snow in the game, was dumbfounded again.
To be honest, this snow is very beautiful, Lao Jiu has not seen such a big snow for several years. Especially in the mountains, where the eye is, covered in silver, if he is not now deep in the wilderness, he really wants to accompany a few beauties, watching the snow on the top of the sky, think about what a romantic thing it should be!
The goose-feather-like snow directly affected Lao Jiu's line of sight, and with his eyesight, he couldn't see fifty meters away, and the surrounding scenery was almost the same. But fortunately, he can still discern the direction, and Lao Jiu can only grit his teeth and move forward.
Although the speed has slowed down, because of the heavy snow, the risk factor in the wilderness is also plummeting. Lao Jiu walked all the way, he didn't encounter any danger at all, this snow was three days at once, Lao Jiu also walked hard for three days, and after three days, he only advanced more than 200 kilometers.
When the snow stopped, Lao Jiu came to a wasteland, where he found a new kind of magical beast, the snow fox! This is a sixth-level demonic beast with six tails behind it, and the length of its body is less than one meter, but its tail is more than one meter long.
The speed of the snow fox is very fast, the whole body is snow-white, in this silver-covered wasteland, it is almost difficult to distinguish, although they will not take the initiative to attack other creatures, but their camouflage and speed, can almost kill any demon beast below the seventh level in an instant.
For snow foxes, Lao Jiu is not interested in the experience they bring, but the snow-white and shiny fur. As the weather gets colder, the game is almost colder than in reality, and if you process these furs into furs and give them to a few of his faces, it will definitely be heartwarming.
Other players may have no way to deal with these snow foxes, but Lao Jiu is different. The speed of these snow foxes is also difficult to run away under Lao Jiu's arrows, because Lao Jiu is now more than fifty levels, and the impact of the difference in rank is not very large, plus his condor bow, so it is difficult for the snow fox who is targeted by him to escape.
In order to maintain the integrity of the fur, Lao Jiu almost had to shoot the bow at the eyes of the snow fox, and to ensure that the arrows were pierced from the neck into the internal organs, which increased the difficulty of hunting, and almost always had to wait, waiting for a suitable opportunity. Therefore, Lao Jiu's progress is very slow, and sometimes, it takes an hour to guard one.
According to Lao Jiu's estimate, two complete furs can make a perfect fur. So Lao Jiu could only wait patiently for the opportunity, and after a full day of delay here, Lao Jiu got enough of the snow fox's fur.
There was no delay here, although this is the perfect upgrade place for the time being, but Lao Jiu can't afford to delay, although this heavy snow has slowed down his trip a lot, but it has also bought him enough time. After collecting enough materials, Lao Jiu began to continue on the road.
As he continued to move forward, the surrounding terrain began to become more and more complicated, this way, the altitude seemed to be getting higher and higher, and the surrounding mountains were more treacherous.
In the end, Lao Jiu was blocked by a horizontal mountain range, and the danger of this mountain range almost surpassed any wild terrain he had seen along the way. The mountains are full of cliffs tens of meters high, or there are waterfalls of flowing waters.
Lao Jiu searched for dozens of miles in a radius, only to find one, the ravine formed by the squeezing of the mountain range, along the ravine all the way up, sometimes need Lao Jiu to open the road himself, until he reached an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, only to appear a ravine over the mountain range.
Lao Jiu went all the way along the ravine, but he didn't expect this mountain range to be more than ten miles wide, and when Lao Jiu appeared on the other side of the mountain range, he had to sigh at the grandeur of this mountain range. Looking to both sides, you can hardly see the end, and there is a higher place, directly surrounded by clouds and mist, and the scene is beautiful.
These are all forgotten, and what really makes Lao Jiu sigh is everything he saw in front of him. This really made him understand the meaning of the words that his mother brought him. What is "three thousand miles north of the wilderness, turning into a dragon and going straight into the Nine Heavens".
