Chapter 198: Who's Behind Who Pokes Who! (xii)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although Viscount Kemdal clamored for the player to launch a counterattack, all the player lords, including Li Xiangrong, were not brain-dead enough to ignore the reality and launch a counterattack that would only increase their losses. (.) Relying on the rock wall built by the earth elemental spellcaster, the layers of resistance also reduced the pressure caused by the fireballs of some of the little demons.
At the same time, with the extreme opposition of all the player lords, no matter how much Kemdal wanted to make the players lose their troops, he could only stop in the end. Of course, his expression was unusually ugly, for he felt that his majesty had been lost. Therefore, the idea of killing the opponents began to rise in his heart, and the Viscount gradually stood with the Count Hugodi behind him.
It's a pity that it's not the Viscount who is outnumbered now, how can he, with less than a thousand guards, outnumber the player. Even if these guards basically never went to the battlefield in most battles and did not lose much, if the players fought back at any cost, it is estimated that the guards of 1,000 people will be wiped out in an instant. After all, the special environment of the underground world not only separates the players, but also divides the guards of Viscount Kemdal.
Now there are less than a hundred guards around Kemdal, and the rest are scattered in the passages of the underground world or in the caves behind. You must know that the total number of players entering the underground world is more than 30,000 people, and it is impossible for a huge number to be crammed into a small underground passage. Therefore, the entire player group is a very long snake formation, but there are occasionally some relatively large caves in the middle to accommodate more people. Of course, the largest of these caves can accommodate 1,000 people. And there will be a large part of the area to be piled up, and there will also be a part of the area that will be used as a cemetery. There are a lot of coffins in this section, and of course, most importantly, there are priests who pray here.
While restoring the magic power, it also makes the place a more holy area. Of course, this place is not a good place for those who have been resurrected. Hardly any player wants to crawl out of those coffins alive, as that would mean losing a single life, and some even lose a lot of experience. Of course, what is even worse is the players who scream, basically every player who screams is a blast. In this kind of combat situation, it is almost impossible to pick up what has been blown out, because when they hang back, it basically means that a certain position has been lost. It's hard to get back what has fallen into the hands of the monsters, and in the end, players will be sad to find that some of the monsters are fighting with weapons that their companions have exploded.
When these players were in pain, Chen Kai and the others were also extremely depressed looking at their surroundings. It was the second day after they had escaped from the cave that had been turned into a lava hell by the Moenzor Division. Chen Kai's injuries on his back have been much better, although his combat strength has not yet recovered, and he can at least walk without hindrance. So the group began to walk along the path of the underground world, and then slowly looked for a place where they could leave this underground passage.
But the underground passage in front of me is still the same as before, and it seems that the surrounding rocks are still the same black touch. There is still no end in sight to the surrounding roads. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't see the marks they left behind, they would probably have thought they were really going around in circles. However, the group had already traveled nearly five kilometers along the road, and according to the speed and distance of their escape, this distance had basically passed the location of the cave at the beginning. Due to the lack of reference objects in the underground world, Chen Kai and the others did not know whether they were running in the right direction or wrong.
If they're going in the wrong direction. Now, it is estimated that the group is not getting closer and closer to the expected goal, but getting farther and farther away. Therefore, several times the goal of the group was focused on Fei Yun, as the thief who led the way, the more eyes Fei Yun focused, the more pressure he put on, and in the end, he didn't know if he was leading the right path.
"Another thousand steps! I said we've been walking almost six kilometers, are we going in the wrong direction? Guan Yu asked Fei Yun in front of him with a big knife. He was measuring the distance with his footsteps all the way, and it was equivalent to a distance of one meter without taking a step. A thousand steps is naturally a thousand meters, that is, one kilometer.
"I don't know!" Fei Yun was squatting with a headache while holding his head, his only thought at the moment was to throw away the damn errand of leading the way.
"I don't know! I said, "Guan Yu just wanted to say something. Chen Kai stopped him directly. In fact, he also knew that he couldn't blame Fei Yun at all now, he had lost the guiding ability of the spell pointer, and it was already a very good thing that Fei Yun could memorize the path just by relying on his memory. Fei Yun can't be blamed for getting lost, what they need to do now is to find a way out as much as possible, instead of wasting time on shirking responsibility.
"Zodiac! Can you break through the rocks above and we climb up? Chen Kai pointed to the top of the underground passage less than five centimeters above his head, and when he heard Chen Kai's words, everyone focused their eyes on the zodiac, and then thought about the reason for Chen Kai's whimsical idea.
"It's hard! It takes a long time for the rock formations above to be thicker, and it will take at least a day to look! What if the above is still a place where you don't know the road? Huang Dao piled up a large number of rocks at his feet, used them as steps, and then touched the rocks above his head with his hands, and said that his last words were the most depressing part. Because Chen Kai didn't know what kind of place would be above the rock formation, if there was an underground river above, then the group would be drowned, and if it was a magma field, it would be even worse.
"Give it a try!" Chen Kai said to the zodiac, and then started to set up the tent underground. After Chen Kai gave the order, the others began to set up the camp, and Su Wan and Chen Yi began to set up a cauldron to prepare lunch. Xu Fei and Wang Xuewen began to help Huang Dao arrange the magic array, after all, it takes a lot of magic to dig a passage in the rock layer above the head, and relying on the power of the magic array can reduce the consumption of magic power and increase the difficulty of the rock formation being pierced.
As the yellow light lit up, layers of earth and stone powder began to fall. At the same time, layers of rock were still peeled away under the yellow magic light. When the magic of the zodiac was exhausted, a nearly tonnable slab of rock fell with a bang, revealing a layer of rock behind the slab.
"Ahem!!" Both Xu Fei and Wang Xuewen were covered in the dust stirred up, and of course, the closer zodiac was almost stoned to death.
"How? Is the zodiac alright? Xu Fei pulled up the zodiac on the ground and asked. Huang Dao stood up with trembling legs with the help of Xu Fei. He never thought that the rock layer above his head was not slate, and the connection between the rocks would be so fragile, if he hadn't felt something wrong and immediately retreated, he would have been crushed under the rock by now.
"It's okay! But I almost scared to death! Huang Dao wiped the dust off his face, but although he was almost scared to death this time, the falling rock was larger than expected, and it also meant that the time required to dig through the entire rock formation would be greatly shortened. As long as you cut the connection of the slate rock, and use a little force, the large slate will fall straight down. It doesn't take much mana at all.
Chen Kai and the others quickly gathered around when they saw the movement, and of course, the most important thing was that the dust stirred up by the falling rocks covered the lunch of the group. Looking at the layer of ash covering the surface of a tumbling soup pot, no one wants to drink a special broth with added ingredients. However, after hearing Huang Dao's words, Chen Kai and the others were still happy to know that the excavation progress would be accelerated.
In fact, the zodiac eventually overestimated the speed at which it would be to break through the rock formations with spells. I thought it would take at least a day to dig even the slabs and rocks, but it was completed in less than three hours. When Fei Yun was the first to climb out of the two-meter-thick rock formation and climb to the cave above his head, the surrounding environment was very familiar to him. For a moment, he couldn't remember exactly when he had seen it, but then he found several humanoid skeletons on the ground and finally deduced where he was.
"If I'm not mistaken! We should be here now! Fei Yun said, pointing to a place on the map. On the map provided to them by the dwarves, the place Fei Yun was pointing to was less than five days away from the dwarves' lava city, and less than a day's away from the location of the lava fissure trap that Chen Kai had laid in the first place. It's just that you can go in the opposite direction, and although you can get to that place as well, the road is much more difficult. It was because the last part of the road was too dangerous. Chen Kai and the others gave up the idea of exploring this place, and the corpses on the ground were left behind by the demonized soldiers who were accidentally killed by Chen Kai and them on the road. Under the action of He Liwen's corrosive powder. The bodies were reduced to bones in a short period of time, and then thrown into a small pit by the side of the road and buried with stones.
It's just that now they've been dug up by certain species again. The remaining tooth marks on it, as well as the sucked bone marrow from the broken bones, suggest that some kind of animal with very strong and sharp teeth was made. Of course, this qiē has nothing to do with Chen Kai, they only know that as long as they travel in less than a day, they can reach the location where the lava gap is located, of course, it is not the huge lava cave at the beginning, but the place where the lava lake is located.
From there, they could reach the rock wall where the crack was located through a piece of collapsed rock, and all Chen Kai needed was to get the ecliptic close to the rock wall, and then activate the power of the magic array. Then the broken rock will be wrapped in the magma lake and pour down with the magma in the lake, and at that time, whether there are monsters or demons below, as long as they cannot survive in the magma, they will be burned to death by the hot magma.
"I wish I could kill Count Hugodi all at once!" This was the most yy thought in Chen Kai's mind after they embarked on the journey, of course, they could only make up for it in their minds, after all, they didn't know that Count Hugodi was actually in this cave hall.
It's just that the pouring lava is really hard to kill the Count Hugodi, who has turned into a monster, and of course it may cause some trouble for his men. However, what made Chen Kai even happier about this qiē was that they finally didn't get lost, so the group was still in a good mood walking on the road where there were piles of rocks and solidified magma vapor jets from time to time.
The reason why Chen Kai and the others did not choose this road in the first place was because this last section of the road was too dangerous, except for the geysers that erupted from time to time, magma could overflow the road at any time and form a dangerous layer of semi-solidified rock formation. Accidentally stepping on this rock. It is possible to crush the thin crust that looks like it has solidified and fall into the lava, and then become surrounded by lava and become charred corpses. Even Fei Yun didn't dare to say that he wouldn't be in danger when he passed this path, because he would be killed if he accidentally stepped on the magma stone, and the geyser that didn't know when it would erupt was also a very dangerous killer in this area. The hot spring water gushes out of the crevices in the rocks. Not only may it burn people directly, but it may even burn them to death.
However, after passing through some extremely dangerous roads and using wood and other means to eliminate nearly a hundred magma stone traps, Chen Kai and the others finally arrived at the magma lake where the lava gap was located. The gushing magma formed a large red lake here, and of course this large lake is very dangerous, even if you stand on the side, you can feel the scorching heat around you. But in the heat there is an almost inexhaustible wealth in the surrounding area, and if it weren't for the danger of the area, this place is the best place to mine. Rare gemstones formed in the earth's mantle can be found almost everywhere, and special metallic materials can also be found on the surrounding ground. Of course, there is a very high risk involved in collecting these materials. Because where these materials may be contained, there is a magma rock that may collapse at any time.
Although the group looked at those underground riches with great greed, they immediately sobered up at the thought of their location. Of course, there is a chance that you can pick up priceless gems without risking, but unfortunately the dwarves will come to clean them up almost every once in a while. Therefore, unless Chen Kai and the others were lucky enough to come across the underground wealth brought up by the magma, they would basically only be able to pick up the leftovers left by the dwarves.
Of course, for Chen Kai and them, their purpose now is not to find gems, but to let the zodiac activate the earth elemental magic array that was originally left behind. But now they have a new danger or problem to deal with, which is that the huge rock that was originally marked on the map across the magma lake and the rock wall where the lava gap is located on the opposite side is gone. I don't know if it was swallowed up by the magma that seemed to have risen a bit, or if it was melted by the heat of the magma. Anyway, the huge rock is now gone. Therefore, if the zodiac wants to activate the magic circle, it will need to climb the rock wall and climb around the lava lake at the risk of being burned to death. It's a very dangerous journey, and not just because of the danger of falling into the lava at any time. What's more, the rock wall is so hot that you simply don't have a place to borrow it.
"Is that okay?" Looking at the zodiac with three layers of leather gloves on his hands, everyone couldn't help but wipe the hot sweat on their foreheads.
"It should be fine!" Chen Kai said shirtless. He, Zhao Tiezhu and others wanted to use iron drills to help the zodiac open the way, and use iron drills to nail them to the rock wall. Then assist the ecliptic to climb to the location of the lava crevice. This is a very dangerous project, although Chen Kai and the others are wearing leather gloves on their hands, but they can't stop the terrifying heat emitted by the magma from eroding their bodies, and they can't stop the poisonous gas emitted from the magma. In order not to inhale the poisonous gas emitted from the magma, Chen Kai and the others all wore gas masks on their faces, so that the cheeks that were stuffed under the masks were sweating like rain.
"Since it's okay, let's go! An extra minute here is a minute's danger, only less than 50 meters away, and half a meter will require a hundred iron drills! Pillar! The matter of making zuò iron chisel will be handed over to you and Lao Su, remember to hurry up and make materials, I don't think you will be lacking! Chen Kai pointed to the pile of iron ore not far away and said, there are more metal materials in the lava area, because only metals can be maintained under high-temperature magma.
"It's okay! You can rest assured! Zhao Tiezhu swung the hammer in his hand and struck an iron ingot fiercely, and under his knocking, the iron ingot quickly turned into a thumb-thick iron ingot. It didn't take long for an iron drill to be processed by Zhao Tiezhu and Su Xinghe, and with the iron drill that Chen Kai and their original backpack carried, the speed of the zodiac climbing the rock was not delayed for long.
It's just that as you get closer to the lava crevice, the heat transferred by the iron drill under your feet will be, and in the end, even if you have three layers of leather gloves or shoes, you can feel the pain of your hands and feet being burned. Of course, the same pain is Chen Kai Xuehaifeng and Fei Yun, who opened the road in front, Fei Fatzi can now be said to be about to become a roast pig, because he is the one who runs the most. As a thief, light footsteps are the most important requirement, so he plays the role of a courier and constantly passes on the new iron drill to Chen Kai and them. Of course, Chen Kai, who was in charge of nailing the iron drill, was also very painful, he was afraid that he would step on the iron drill crookedly. You must know that the higher the temperature, the more fragile the steel becomes, and the thermal conductivity of steel is very strong, even if there are leather shoes separated by it, it cannot block the invasion of high temperatures.
Fortunately, the distance was only fifty meters, and if there were more than a hundred meters, they would not last long. If they hadn't activated the magic array yet, they would have been roasted into jerky by the high temperature of the magma. When Huang Dao took off his palm and pressed it against the lava gap, he felt the magic circle on the back of the rock wall, and after crushing the two spell gems in his hand, a burst of earthy yellow light began to gradually light up and spread to the magic circle on the opposite side of the rock wall.
At the same time, the demon casters below and Count Hugodi also felt the spell fluctuations coming from behind their heads, and they almost subconsciously looked up, and naturally they also saw the magic array that emitted an earthy yellow light......)
