Chapter 404: Magic Locomotive
The Goddess of Calamity and Plague frowned, feeling that the speed of the Greystone Giant Worm was too slow, and immediately asked the rest of the Plague Sect to leave with the Greystone Giant Worm first, while she stood on top of the squeezing rock formation, and then raised the very slender soles of her feet and stepped on the ground fiercely.
"Boom!"
The dull sound was accompanied by smoke and dust rising into the sky, spreading in all directions.
Delores' kick shattered the surface of the extruded rock layer, destroying its internal tight structure, causing the extruded rock layer to shatter like a ceramic, and finally turned into broken stones of equal size.
The Plague Cultists standing in the distance felt the power of this kick up close, and anyone who looked at all the stones of the same size collectively seemed very excited, this was the god that their Plague Cult believed in, an old ancient god with powerful divine power, who could easily solve this seemingly impossible crushed rock formation.
Although the Limestone Giant Worm had no eyes, it could sense what had just happened through the shaking of the ground.
It was the person who made it tremble just now who launched an attack, which caused the originally hard and abnormal ground in front of it to change dramatically, and it can even be said that the structure of the ground was fundamentally changed.
The gray rock giant insect with good wisdom was completely intimidated, and it didn't dare to think about any sneak attack or escape, if it didn't want its body to become like this, it could only obediently obey the other party's orders.
Deloris had a divine power enchantment on her body, and the dust raised did not stain her body, and then she withdrew the white jade foot that she stepped out, pointed to the gray rock giant insect that retreated to the side, and used her mental power to control it, and continued to carry out the unfinished task just now.
This time, the limestone giant insect not only did not have any dissatisfaction, but also wagged its tail like a pug and carried out the excavation work meticulously.
The Limestone Giant Worm's natural spell can exert its greatest power when facing all the rocks that are only the size of a fist, easily turning all the rocks in front of it into mud and sand, and then its spiral-shaped mouth spun rapidly, breaking through the rock formations that became very soft, and in a short time all the huge size burrowed into the earth.
The efficiency is many times higher than I don't know just now.
In order to curry favor with the goddess of calamity and plague who controlled it, the gray rock giant worm erupted with unprecedented power, digging very hard with its wriggling body, and soon burrowed hundreds of meters underground.
Deloris led a large group of men and horses, along the tunnel drilled out by the limestone giant worm, and began to rush towards the cave group deep underground.
Some of the higher-ups of the Plague Sect were entering the depths of the underground for the first time, and they looked at the tunnel walls that had become smooth after the Graystone Giant Worm cast its talent spell in reverse, and muttered to themselves: "It is really worthy of the Graystone Giant Worm nicknamed the Tunnel Maker, and the tunnels they excavate can be directly used as a subway when they are paved with railroad tracks." ”
Limestone giant worms can fossilize into mud and of course turn mud into stone, and they usually reinforce the excavated tunnels to form fixed tunnel barriers, rather than drilling wherever they are, and the tunnels will collapse wherever they go.
As a result, their nests are usually clusters of tunnels that extend in all directions, and there may be dozens or even dozens of layers of tunnels on the three-dimensional surface, forming an extremely large network of tunnels for them to store food and reproduce.
Of course, it also has the effect of defending against natural predators, land whales and rock dragons, and it is faster than digging tunnels or passing through the original tunnels.
In addition, predators that are larger than the Limestone Giant Worm can only choose to expand the reinforced tunnel to be able to pursue the Greystone Giant Worm, which often wastes a lot of time, allowing the Limestone Giant Worm to calmly evade the pursuing predators through the complex tunnel network.
As for medium-sized predators that can chase them through tunnels, the Greystone Bug will collapse tunnels along the way to stop enemies, but for predators smaller than the Greystone Bug, the position of the hunter and the prey is usually reversed, and it is not certain who eats whom.
After all, the Greystone Giant Worms also possess considerable strength, and if you add the home field advantage underground, few predators can threaten them.
Before anyone in the Plague Sect knew it, they had begun to discuss the Limestone Giant Worm.
"I've heard that those dwarves tamed a few giant graystone insects and built a huge network of underground tunnels for them, connecting human kingdoms and elves and other countries, allowing them to quickly support various battlefields during wars."
"Isn't it! They also laid railroad tracks in most of the tunnels, and developed a magical-powered subway using energy hedrons from the Arcane Empire as a model. ”
"These subways, which are used to transport all kinds of goods and personnel in peacetime, can become huge war machines in wartime, continuously transporting soldiers and war materials to and from the frontline battlefield."
Everyone in the Plague Sect was talking, and even the eyes of the giant graystone worm in front of them changed.
If they have this limestone giant worm, they will be able to secretly arrange a network of tunnels, and even build the base camp of the main plane underground, whether it is hiding in peacetime or fighting hostile forces, it can play a huge role.
"However, I heard that the magic locomotives of the Arcane Empire were much larger than the dwarves, and they also had a network of underground tunnels similar to subways, and the largest could even pass through ten large magic locomotives side by side, even wider than the Imperial Avenue in the capital of the Titan Empire, the most powerful country of mankind today."
"I really want to see the magic locomotive of the Arcane Empire, is it really as magical as the legend?"
"Magical locomotives are rare to see now, but the subway tunnels left over from the Arcane Empire can still be found on the mainland."
Melissa, the plague priestess in the crowd, did not participate in the discussion, but she listened to the whole process, and felt that some of the ideas in it were very good, and immediately contacted Delores, who had a serious face in front of her, to gain control of the gray rock giant worm.
"Yu also heard your words, and when this incident is over, Yu will hand over the control of the Limestone Giant Worm to you." Deloris thought for a moment, and then said, "It just so happens that the focus of the development of the Plague Sect is about to be placed on the main plane, so you can use this to expand the base camp and other strongholds, and then the plague believers from other planes will come." ”
"My lord, we promise to build a first-class base camp." Melissa said with one hand to her chest, she was one of the few people who knew about Delores' plan.
