For players in Burkner, most players probably haven't had such a heartbeat in their lives. For them, it is estimated that many people have never seen a natural gemstone with a weight of at least 50 carats, whether it is a sapphire, a ruby or a diamond, and they estimate that at most they can see the natural object full of brilliance in the window of the counter in the store.

But in the game, most players can still touch the natural gems in these games, although they are not very large, but in terms of weight, it is also a very rare good thing in reality. However, none of these gemstones can compare with the sparkling rough gemstones that have just been dug out of the rock, and even if they have not been processed, they still exude an intoxicating luster in the palm of your hand.

Although they look so inconspicuous and ugly, as long as they are brought to the market, even unprocessed rough stones can still be sold for dozens of gold coins, which is the high price of hundreds or thousands of gold coins. If it was a gem with magical power, then those spellcasters, especially secret mages like Wang Xuewen, would cry and shout and wave gold coins to run up to buy it. Because for arcane mages, gems that can attach spells are their greatest reliance on survival.

If they attach a spell to the gem, the gem that was originally purchased at a high price can quickly increase in value several times. Even if the color of that gem looks very poor, and the quality is not even as good as the glass slag, it will become quite valuable when it is added by the arcane mage. But under this abyss in the wilderness of Berkner Town, when the resurrected Fei Yongjun and others took the excavated gems for identification. They were pleasantly surprised to find that nearly a third of the gems they mined were gems that could be used for spells, and contained a trace of magical power. Even though most of these gems were too small to be attached with a maximum of second- and third-order spells, their value quickly skyrocketed from dozens of gold coins to hundreds of gold coins.

As for why such a gem is so expensive, it is because of the use of spells to make a secret gem. The spells that are released are essentially different from ordinary magic scrolls. Spell scrolls are not required to use expensive materials in order to achieve a certain level of magic in a spell. Most of the spells released by the casting scrolls are of greatly castrated power. Because there is so little magic that can be attached to the reels, these gems are different. The amount of magic that can be contained in these gems is completely determined by the shape and size of the gem, and a gem that can make a second-order arcane gem can contain even more magic than the maximum amount of mana required to release a second-order gem.

Let's take an analogy! With Xu Fei's nearly 10,000 magic power, if it is used to release a second-order arcane, the power is basically three times greater than that of the spell released by ordinary players after learning the second-order spell. However, Xu Fei's whole body magic power was injected into a second-order secret gem, but there was no way to fill the gem. In this way, a spell released by a second-order arcane gem full of magic power will produce at least four times the power that ordinary players can achieve when casting spells. At the same time, it is eight to nine times that of a normal second-order spell scroll. And the Mystic Mage with such a secret gem hanging all over his body is equivalent to a mobile powder magazine.

Because of this, the price of a well-made, magic-filled arcane gem is several times or even more than ten times that of a spell scroll of the same level. However, most of the arcane mages make good arcane gems, either for themselves or for their students. There will be very few outflows. Therefore, the instantaneous spell equipment circulating in the market is still dominated by spell scrolls, not only because it is cheap, but most importantly, it is easy to choose materials, simple to make, low cost and cost-effective. After all, the arcane gem and the spell scroll have the same chance of failure, not that the better the material of the gem, the higher the chance of success of the gem making, but it all depends on luck and technical support. …,

A mystic mage who is so lucky that his blood-vomiting technique is rotten, even if he is given a top-level gem, he may not be able to make a lowest-level arcane gem. Therefore, secret gemstones on the market are basically hard to find. Of course, even more difficult to find are the magical gems that can be used to make zuò secret gems. After all, there will always be some talented arcane mages in the game world, or people with good luck who can make successful arcane gems, and such people are not lacking in materials. After all, gems are very rare treasures in the earth, and even crazy miners like dwarves who drill underground every day have a low chance of being able to mine gem mines. That's why the price of large gems in the game has always been high. Therefore, when these players heard the news of Fei Yongjun and the others, the beating heart in their chests had already begun to pump blood frantically all over their bodies.

All players need to know the news. They all began to run frantically towards the location of the abyss, and even the players in those territories adjacent to Chen Kai's territory began to run over at risk. In the process of continuous delivery of messages. The player lords next to Chen Kai were almost scarlet-eyed, if it weren't for the demonic creatures that were constantly wandering around and the huge military strength of Burkna Town. It is estimated that these player lords have already begun to ignore the laws of the Hansting Empire and prepare to seize the gem mines in Chen Kai's territory.

But in front of these players who are dazzled by gems is a bottomless abyss, a terrifying place where you can almost absolutely fall into a pulp. So far, the number of players engulfed by this abyss has increased from four at the beginning to more than three hundred now. More than 120 people died when a rope broke alone, and more than 100 people died by pulling each other over the place. The remaining hundred or so people were either devoured by passing lizards, or were poisoned by the terrible poison under the abyss.

However, these dead players did not stop the footsteps of those who were dazzled by the gems, and more players rushed to the edge of the abyss, salivating as they watched the camp that Chen Kai gradually erected. Of course, the three of them would not necessarily be able to attack Chen Kai's soldiers, but as the players gathered more and more, danger gradually enveloped the players near the abyss.

With such a large gathering of people, it is definitely the best target for the demonic creatures that are active in the wild of Berkna Town. And for the former lord of Hugodi, who has controlled the demonic creatures, the lord of Berkna Town who left the territory is definitely asking for his own death. In fact, if it weren't for Ankneru's injury, it is estimated that those demonized soldiers would have already appeared in front of Chen Kai, after all, there is no better chance than killing Chen Kai in the wild. After the siege battle the night before, the former lord of Hugodi understood very well. It is basically impossible to capture the terrifying town of Burkna, which is well-fortified and relies on demonized soldiers to sneak attack. Therefore, the former lord of Hugodi wanted to kill Chen Kai's living force in the wild, deplete his combat power, and thus weaken the defenses of the entire town of Berkna.

It's a pity that his own strength has been consumed by the players at the moment, you must know that the player can be resurrected, but those dead demonized soldiers cannot be resurrected again. When Count Hugodi completely fused the demonic blood in his body and became what he is now, the number of soldiers he could control had been reduced from nearly 100,000 at the beginning to less than 50,000 now. Every day, demonized soldiers die in battles with players, and even if a demonized soldier can kill three or four players, the number of players in Hugodi's territory is more than 100,000. Even if these players die once a day. You can also kill at least twenty or thirty thousand demonized soldiers.

Although this is unlikely, after such a long battle, the player can kill thousands of demonized soldiers every month, and the players in Burkna Town alone have killed at least one or two thousand, not counting the number of demonized soldiers and cavalry who have been killed by those aboriginal soldiers. In this case. The sharp reduction in the strength of Count Hugodi in his hands was an ironclad thing. At the same time, the number of soldiers in the earl's hands was not 100,000 at the beginning, and the soldiers who survived the demonization were only 50,000 or 60,000. More troops are filled with those monsters, of course, now with the addition of those wingless demons that he excavated from the gap in the demon world, the strength in the hands of Count Hugodi has changed slightly from the original continuous decline to the current steady recovery. It's a pity that after suffering several losses in the hands of Chen Kai in a row, his strength has declined again. Especially the siege battle the night before, because it was too late to mobilize the wingless demons to participate in the battle. Baron Ankneru only attacked with demons and demonized soldiers, and was defeated and almost smashed his head by the magic crystal cannon. …,

Coupled with the loss of troops from the soldiers in the previous field battles, Count Hu Godi found that he had lost at least more than 5,000 demonized soldiers and nearly 2,000 demonized cavalry in Chen Kai's hands, and the number of demons he used as cannon fodder was even more. That's why this former ruler of Hugodi's domain. The current demon lord, Count Hugodi, was already extremely resentful of Chen Kai. It's a pity that resentment is resentment, but he didn't dare to leave the underground world in person and come to the surface to trouble Chen Kai. If he really did. Then in the next moment, the strong man from the royal family of the Hansting Empire will completely crush him to death, and there will not even be scum left. Even the temple that can't get the news will directly come to slay demons and destroy demons to completely destroy him from the soul together.

So although he was very angry with Chen Kai in his heart. However, because the troops at hand were really restrained, there was no way to trouble Chen Kai, so in the end, he could only entrust the heavy task of killing Chen Kai to Baron Kemdahl, who was under his control. But now the baron was busy dealing with the problems of the Northern Noble Alliance, and because of his clumsy appearance in Garros, although he had saved a little bit of his reputation with the heads of two dead demonized cavalrymen afterwards, in the hearts of most of the aboriginal nobles of the North, this Baron Kemdal had already been equated with waste, and even some people called him a sinister and despicable bastard behind his back.

Baron Kemdal, who had long regarded the Northern Noble Alliance as his backyard, now found that he was no longer able to command any of the noble members of the Northern Alliance, and most of the nobles were now not fond of the former Alliance leader, so it could be said that the entire Northern Noble Alliance was now in a situation where the dragons were leaderless. Although nominally they are still united, in reality the entire alliance of nobles is already fragmented, and it is no longer even possible to block the way from other northern realms to southern player territories.

It was in this context that players who received news of the gem veins began to flock to the town of Burkhna from the realms around the Imperial Capital. However, due to the teleportation array not being able to reach directly, most players can only slowly pass through their legs and hurry little by little. With the speed at which they are moving, it is estimated that it will take at least seven or eight days to reach the town of Burkner. During this time, players who arrive early can definitely send back first-hand messages, and players behind them can be ready to brake or accelerate at any time.

Although Chen Kai knew that Xu Fei had already released an advertisement. It is even known that a large number of players are pouring towards Burkner. But he didn't know the number of these players, the consequences that would already be produced, and the only thing he knew was that he could ask Xu Fei to hire a caravan to mix the purchased food into the army of these players.

Everything seems to be starting to change for the better, and that change is just a day's work. Even Chen Kai's mood began to improve. At least when he looked at the huge purple iron rough stone that began to gradually show its outline at the bottom of the cliff, he couldn't help but want to laugh on his face. Although Chen Kai knew that there must be something better under the abyss, the only thing he could mine at the moment was this huge purple iron rough stone, and even with Xu Fei's device with an additional levitation spell, it would be very difficult to pull it out of the underground world more than three hundred meters below.

After all, Chen Kai couldn't accurately calculate the weight of this rough stone, if the spell device Xu Fei purchased couldn't afford this huge purple iron rough stone at that time, then he would need to use other things. For example, huge pulley sets and thousands of horses to tow.

"! I forgot. To pull that thing out of the abyss, build a drawbridge! Damn it! Chen Kai suddenly patted his head, he patronized and was happy but forgot this most important thing. If there was no suspension bridge, then even if the spell levitation equipment purchased by Xu Fei could successfully make the entire piece of ore float in the air, it would still need some auxiliary facilities for such a huge thing to pull out of the underground world. At the very least, a suspension bridge across both sides of the abyss, that was what was needed most. If Xu Fei's spell device can't bear the weight of the ore, then the drawbridge needs to be made stronger. …,

In Chen Kai's mind, he instantly turned from excitement to depression, because he found that he had no way to build a suspension bridge that could withstand hundreds of tons. If the floating equipment Xu Fei purchased could not support the huge piece of purple iron rough stone, then Chen Kai could only stare at the huge piece of ore. After all, if Chen Kai wanted to make a suspension bridge, then this suspension bridge would at least span nearly thirty meters on both sides of the abyss. And most importantly, it should be able to lift an object weighing nearly 300 tons. But no one knows if the ore is only 300 tons, or if it is higher or lighter. But even if it was to erect a suspension bridge that could support a weight of about 100 tons, Chen Kai could not complete it, because there was a lack of such technicians in the entire town of Berkner.

"Dick! Can you help me buy a suspension bridge in the imperial capital? Or a crane! Damn it. There isn't a single crane in the entire town of Berkner! Chen Kai contacted Xu Fei in the state of going offline, and the town of Burkna could not be said to have no crane. At least a few pulley sets are still available, but how can those pulley sets pull up an unknown amount of purple iron ore.

"What drawbridge crane? Where are you going to let me go up and fix this thing? Xu Fei was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Kai's words, although there are many mechanical devices in the game, they are actually not as developed as in reality. However, even in reality, it is rare to be able to lift objects weighing hundreds of tons. It's almost at the level of a behemoth. With real-world technology, such a crane is also an expensive thing, but basically there is no crane of such a large weight in the game. Because most things are medium with spells, few mechanical objects are hoisted into such a large amount of things.

"Try to figure it out! I'll build a simple wooden suspension bridge to hold it up! When Chen Kai finished saying this, he began to organize people to erect a wooden suspension bridge above the abyss. Just looking for the two main beams of the abyss that can span nearly thirty meters, Chen Kai emptied the warehouse in Burkner Town. At the same time, in order to strengthen the structure of the main beam, Chen Kai also reinforced the entire wooden beam with metal produced in the town of Berkner. Although Chen Kai's territory lacked skilled workers to make large suspension bridges, there was no shortage of workers, at least the aboriginal blacksmiths were still very qualified.

Thanks to the efforts of these craftsmen, it took less than half a day for the suspension bridge to emerge in the wilderness outside the town of Burkner. However, the wooden bridge has no hoisting structure, just a simple wooden plank bridge spanning the cliff, and it looks quite chicken. At least until he was completely finished, everyone didn't understand Chen Kai's intention to build this wooden bridge.

While Chen Kai mobilized workers to erect the wooden bridge, Wang Lei slowly climbed in the underground abyss, and the surrounding temperature began to appear in a polarized state. On the side close to the cliff, Wang Lei found that the rock was very hot, and he might even burn the rope, but on the other side of the cliff, the temperature was unusually low, so low that people's blood could be frozen instantly. Wang Lei, who was sandwiched between the cliffs on both sides, was hot to death on one side of his body, but frozen to death on the other side. (To be continued......)
