Chapter Eighty-Seven: Demonic Architecture
"First of all, we need to find the water veins here."
As the Engineer's words fell, one of the apprentices behind him removed a cage from his waistband - this guy was a rock demon with a tall build. So this cage is actually not small, almost the size of Chen Lina's suitcase.
When the cage was opened, a snow-white fox came out. There is no trace of variegation on the body, and a pair of eyes are a bright blue color, which looks quite smart and cute.
A beast and demon apprentice next to him let out a whistle, and the white fox instantly rushed out, running around the camp.
The engineer led everyone to follow unhurriedly: "This is the Water Vein Fox, a demonic beast specially imported from the Cold Moon Realm. It is characterized by being hydrophilic and very sensitive to water veins, so it is often used to find water sources. ”
"There's no river around here." Fan Li said that in the past ten days, he has also learned the dialect of the Remnant Sun Realm.
"So what you're looking for is the underground water vein." The engineer explained.
Soon, the white fox stopped and lay down in a clearing, its big fluffy tail sweeping around the ground behind it like a broom, kicking up a slight cloud of dust, but its white and flawless fur was not dusty.
Chen Lina looked at the white fox with some envy, this ability to dispel dust is something that every girl dreams of, especially these female demon hunters. She was even considering whether to get a white fox as a pet.
"This is it." The beast demon reported.
The rock demon also carried the cage and walked over, and after putting the white fox back in the cage, he walked to the place where the white fox had just swept with his tail and stomped down.
Bang! The demons only felt a muffled sound from the depths of the earth under their feet, and a strong force continued to extend downward along the position where the rock demon stepped on.
This is the Demon Race...... Even if he didn't get promoted, he was just an ordinary rock demon, and he actually had this level of magic and innate magic!
Chen Lina and Fan Li exchanged glances, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
even subconsciously took a few steps back...... In the past, when facing a demon to cast magic or natural ability, it meant that an extraordinarily fierce attack force arrived, so you have to deal with it carefully!
Then they realized that they had overreacted, it was all just a move from the instinct of the demon hunters, but now that they were the "Thousand Commanders" of the demon race, how could they be frightened back because of the ability of a lower demon race?
Van Lee had even noticed the suspicious glances from the patriarch and the engineer......
At this moment, the rock demon took a step back, and his hands jerked upward. The rumbling of the ground became more and more pronounced.
Soon, a "spring" of gravel mixed with dirt gushed out from the huge footprints he had left behind. It's also mixed with plant rhizomes and messy little bugs.
The mudslide fountain gushed for more than ten seconds, and then what gushed out was an extremely clear underground spring.
There was a mess all around, with mud and rubble everywhere.
The Engineer pulled out a hammer from his toolbox and slammed it on the rock demon's head, "How many times have you said that!" Keep the dirt and stones under control! ”
The rock demon scratched his head and said in a muffled voice, "It's already under control, because there is water, so it's difficult." ”
"I'm sorry to make you laugh." The engineer hurriedly turned around and apologized to the elder Qianfu.
It turned out that they were not afraid of the rock demon's ability, but they were afraid of being stained with mud. The patriarch's heart made up again.
Fan Li hurriedly tightened his face and said that he was out of the way and let them continue.
Sure enough, it's still a child...... But fortunately, it's easier to talk. The engineer said to himself.
He waved his hand, and the Rock Demon Apprentice stomped his foot again, closing the ground and locking the fountain.
Immediately afterward, the engineer looked around and gestured as if to measure the dimensions.
After a moment, he nodded with satisfaction: "No need to change it, just here." ”
The Rock Demon Apprentice took off a large waist bag from his back.
Inside the package was a bundle of dried gray-brown vines, cut into a length of about a meter and neatly tied together.
Another apprentice, with a few leaves on his head, should be a tree demon or a grass demon who came over, pulled out a dead vine, and then inserted it into the spring just now.
I don't know what means he used, the dry and flexible vines were like a sharp sword, and they all sank into the dirt and stones!
He then took out a water bladder from the package and began watering the vines.
Inside the bladder was an emerald green unidentified liquid, exuding a peculiar fragrance, like the fresh fragrance of some kind of plant.
"This is a special medium for cultivators, which can greatly accelerate the growth rate of plants." The patriarch explained in time.
I saw that the vines, which were only a little exposed on the surface of the soil, were watered with the culture fluid, and instantly came to life, became verdant, and then sprouted.
It was like a vine through the sky, and it directly burst out more than ten meters high! Nearly 100 branches have also grown, and they have been spent horizontally and vertically.
Beneath the ground, where people can't see it, the roots of the vines are deeply rooted in the water veins, sucking a large amount of water into the vines, and then pumping them to the ground through the vines.
Several apprentices suddenly got busy, some digging pits around the vines and burying dozens of faint "magic crystals", while others pruned the forks on the vines under the command of the master—cutting off some and watering the culture liquid on other branches to promote growth.
He also called some young adults of the tribe to dig ravines in the ground and bury the cultivated water vine branches into the ground......
Soon, a prototype of a water supply network with a main well and more than a dozen branch veins was roughly completed.
Chen Lina and Fan Li were amazed.
The engineer's movements did not stop, and with the help of the water net that had just been laid, he led his apprentices to plant bamboo poles on the ground.
The same pre-treated bamboo poles were inserted into the ground at intervals of one foot, creating a wide space with a side length of more than 300 meters around the main well.
Replace it with a water bladder and continue to water the culture medium. The tiny bamboo pole also grew rapidly, and after just half an hour, it grew into a behemoth with a diameter of one foot and a height of 40 meters. It forms a four-year-tall wall.
The apprentices began to prune the side branches again to make the walls smooth and flat, and planted another slender vine at the base of the bamboo to fill the gaps between the bamboos.
A group of demons entered the "room", only to see that the "well" was in the north of the room. Then a fire pool was built on the other side...... This one wasn't fancy, it just made the rock demon use a huge rock to buckle a pool out.
The patriarch had two different solutions poured into it, and after fusing them in the pool, they immediately burst into flames......
Chen Lina finally knew why they didn't add a roof to the house...... The flames alone rose dozens of meters high at once!
If it weren't for the fact that this fire pool had been strengthened by a circle of runes, it would have exploded directly!
The other demons around them looked like they were used to it, and the patriarch and engineer even reached in and tested the temperature of the flames.
Immediately afterward, more than a dozen sturdy demons moved in a large box of ten meters from outside and placed it next to the fire pool.
Fan Li poked his head curiously and glanced at it, and saw through the dense unidentified objects that looked like ordinary gravel, and even seemed to be surging as if they were alive......
Fan Li couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and hurriedly retreated.
The patriarch laughed and said, "This is the worm nest, which is matched with the fire pool, and is the equipment we use to forge demon soldiers and other tools. ”
Worm nests? Foundry? Fan Li was confused. It's understandable that the fire pool is used for striking iron, but what about insects?
"Hehe, as high-ranking demons, the two adults shouldn't use ordinary demon soldiers. You must know that our demon weapons and equipment are rarely made of metal, and more often rely on biological raw materials such as skin, armor, claws, horns, tendons, and bones of powerful demonic beasts, or materials shed by the demons themselves. Therefore, the processing function of the flame is very limited. ”
Then there was the Worm Hive, and the Demon Realm's Demon Warriors generally used "Worm Refining" for material processing.
Moreover, there are different varieties for different materials, and even the magic soldiers of each different school have their own unique varieties of insect refining.
Refining insects only have an effect on materials such as scales and bones, but have no interest in normal flesh and blood. So you don't have to worry too much when you operate, just be careful not to drop your equipment.
The insects decompose the raw materials, the magician designs and shapes, and then the fire pool is shaped and reinforced...... This is the basic magic soldier casting process.
The two imposter demons were amazed for a while, and then quickly stopped paying attention.
After all, for humans, this kind of technology that is completely not on the same technology tree does not make much sense.
In addition, the two of them are pure combatants, and they don't have much understanding and sensitivity to technology or anything, so they naturally won't be too interested, so they should be lively.
"Finally, ......" The demons around him became serious, and the patriarch also put away his amiable smiling face and said solemnly, "Please protect Ji Zu!" ”
