Chapter 217: The Scepter of the Earth - The Vein That Runs Through the Earth (8)

Finally crawled into the ground, these chapters are really dragged on, I'm embarrassed myself-

I'm tired of.

"Damn the Skeleton Knight, you have to yin us when you die" Su Xinghe hung on the edge of the rock with one hand, because the place where he landed was too narrow, when Chen Kai hung there, he had nowhere to stay. To read the latest chapters, please lock in Aishang Novel Network biquge.infowww.tsxsw.net but the result can only be hung tenaciously with one hand, while the other hand pulls He Liwen.

"Yes, NND almost didn't knock me to death" On top of Su Xinghe, Zhao Tiezhu lay on the rock tightly, he was less than a meter away from where Su Xinghe and they were, and the important reason why he didn't fall off was his axe and hammer that was sharpened quickly and had no edge.

As long as Su Xinghe raised his head slightly, he could see Zhao Tiezhu's uneven armor, as well as the bone slag rubbed off from the bone knight's body and half of the white bone hair. This was the last commemorative gift that the Bone Knight had left for Chen Kai before he fell off the cliff, but it wasn't what it wanted to keep, it would have loved to leave itself as a gift if it could.

"Bai Shasha, hurry up and climb up first, I can't hold it anymore, the weight of the three people is too much" Chen Kai shouted to Bai Shasha below, although a few people above his head left, allowing Chen Kai to breathe a sigh of relief. But in fact, Chen Kai's hands were becoming weaker and weaker as time went by, and drops of bright red blood were dripping down his arms, which were the wounds left by the bone knight before he fell.

"Tap, Sasha, don't pull my pants" Fei Yun looked at his pulled pants and said to Bai Shasha who was climbing up his body, of course, in exchange for a greater pain, because Bai Shasha, who really couldn't find anything to grab, grabbed his collar directly and climbed up, and the result was that his neck was pinched and Fei Yun almost didn't hold his breath.

Finally, everyone climbed the steps, and Chen Kai's health was almost half left, and the half that disappeared turned into blood dripping down his body to the bottom of the cliff. The group of people who had never died almost laughed at the skeletal creatures hanging above them, but they held back as they slowly climbed towards where they were.

If it weren't for the fact that they didn't know the situation before, these silver skeletons would have climbed down and killed Chen Kai and the others. So when it was determined that there was a corner road on the other side of the cliff, the silver skeletons climbed down one after another, but very slowly, after all, a bone knight had fallen under their eye sockets.

As a result, when Chen Kai was pulled up by others, the first silver skeleton was about to climb to the corner, and the distance between the two sides at this time was only less than two meters, but neither side made a move. Chen Kai was so tired that he couldn't do it, while the bone warrior couldn't do it because his limbs were pulling on the cliff, and when he made a move, his whole body fell down.

However, the Bone Warrior couldn't do it, it didn't mean that Chen Kai couldn't do it, and one after another arcane missiles shot out from the corner and flew towards the body of the silver skull. The power of these missiles could hardly cause much trouble for the silver skeleton, but it could be dangerous to hit continuously, let alone on a steep slope that reached almost 75 degrees.

On such a steep slope, the silver skeleton could hardly do anything to resist except for hard resistance, and as long as its hands left the steep slope, its body would snap and fall. No, because the cliff is too deep, it is estimated that there is no sound when it falls, and it can't even hear the echo.

What's more, most of the steep slope is made of hard purple iron, and even if the skeletal creature wants to use its limbs to stick it into the rock, it can't do it, and it can only be hit step by step and backwards or resist spell attacks.

However, the corner was so narrow that a few casters couldn't hit the Silver Skull accurately, and had to force it back. At the same time, when Chen Kai climbed over the corner, they faced another problem, the passage on the corner was also very narrow, and it could only accommodate one person walking sideways, so when Chen Kai climbed over the corner, Xu Fei could not cast a spell to attack the silver skeleton.

Therefore, once Chen Kai retreated to the corner, they could no longer organize the skeletal creatures to step on the steps, and could only let them slowly climb down from the top one by one. Even though Chen Kai's magic could cause them some trouble, but now his arm was almost painful and he couldn't lift it up, and he couldn't attack at all. So much so that he could only watch those silver skeletons appear around the corner, and then slowly catch up.

But the narrow path also caused trouble for the silver skeletons, and they could only cling to the cliff like Chen Kai and the others to climb slowly. Any bone skeleton that tried to come over the cliff on its stomach proved wrong with their lives, and there were almost no unexpected failures, for even around the corner, the cliff was still hard of purple iron.

If it weren't for the dead creatures chasing after them, then there was a cliff below that could barely see the bottom, and Chen Kai would have to knock some ore down on this cliff. Although the price of purple iron is not high, there has never been such a large piece of ore, and even if its value is not high, it is the market price of nearly 100 gold coins per kilogram.

The entire road is almost a kilometer long, and all of them are very dangerous narrow roads, and in some places they have collapsed because of time or accidents. As a result, there are gaps of various sizes on the entire road, or there are no roads. But this gave Chen Kai and them a chance to get rid of the silver skeleton's pursuit, and in some excessively wide gaps, Chen Kai and they built bridges with wood, and then removed the bridge after they walked over.

Of course, this method can only temporarily shorten the distance between the skeleton warriors and them, and the soul fire burning in the heads of those skeletons is not stupid, and they will soon find a way to deal with it. For example, several skeleton creatures build a human ladder, or use their own bones to wrap the breath of death to form a white bone ladder.

Chen Kai and the others had never seen such a strange combination method, several bones dismantled themselves by themselves, and then combined into a strange white bone ladder. The skeleton soldiers in the back used this ladder to spend time in the collapsed place, and after the dutong guò, the entire ladder was disassembled and reassembled into a new skeleton soldier with a whole body of silver.

However, these could not stop Chen Kai and them from distancing, when Chen Kai and his party stepped out of the last narrow section of the road, they had already walked to the edge of a new cave, and more than a hundred meters behind them, those skeletal soldiers were still slowly grinding.

Relying on this wide rock platform, Chen Kai could take a good rest, deal with the injuries on his body, and then teach the silver skeletons chasing behind him a lesson. Of course, it would be even better if he could kill them all, and Chen Kai was also very confident that he could kill them all, as long as they dared to get within ten meters of the rock platform.

"Turtle son, come here, come here, Lao Tzu will shoot you all down," Fei Yun gently lowered his crossbow machine on the rock platform, relying on the light of the torches, he could clearly see the red eye sockets that were gradually approaching. The silver skeletons with a pair of lantern-like eyes were slowly grinding towards the rock platform, and the silver skeleton in the front was already within range of the crossbow machine with one foot.

But when Fei Yun wanted to pull the trigger, he was stopped by Chen Kai, and Chen Kai's hand pressed directly on the crossbow machine to prevent Fei Yun from pulling the trigger, so that the crossbow arrow that was originally going to be shot stayed on the arrow groove of the crossbow machine again.

"Wait a minute, these guys' skulls are too hard, and if they are too far away, they won't be able to shoot through," Chen Kai had bandages wrapped around his arms, and his eyes looked straight at the skeletal creatures that were slowly moving forward in the darkness, and the other party was only less than thirty meters away from the rock platform.

"Zhou Xuan, you try it first," Chen Kai turned his head and said to Zhou Xuan, who was holding a longbow, who hummed lightly and directly pulled out the bow and arrow in his hand, shooting an arrow at the silver skeleton not far away. The arrow, with a pale white fighting aura, quickly traveled through the air and hit the skeleton soldier's forehead with great accuracy, but everyone only heard a ding. The skeleton soldier had barely been damaged except for shaking its head, and it certainly didn't have any, at least there was a small depression on its forehead, but it was barely visible from too far away.

"This skull is really hard enough, the fourth man aims at the eye socket to shoot, don't care about the position above the head, of course, in fact, as long as you shoot the head, it's the same everywhere" Chen Kai patted Fei Yun's shoulder to signal that he could start using the crossbow machine, and several other spellcasters also began to prepare spells at the same time, and under the light of the torches, several spell elements emitted a charming glow in the dark.

"Attack, give me all these bones and slag to the bottom of the cliff" When Chen Kai shouted this voice, all the ranged spells and arrows shot towards the skeletal creature in front of him, and the time chosen was the moment when the other party jumped up and was about to jump onto the rock platform.

The silver skeleton whose body was still in mid-air had almost no chance to be directly hit by numerous spells and divine spells, especially a crossbow arrow on his head. Although it didn't penetrate its skull, it flipped its entire head backwards, and in an instant its entire body was knocked off the rocky platform and down the cliff.

Behind it, however, more silver skeletons began to leap towards the rocky platform, while others ran straight up the road to the other side. There, Zhao Tiezhu, Su Xinghe, and Su Wan were waiting there, and they wanted to beat all the skeleton soldiers who tried to rush up from this road back, or even directly to the bottom of the cliff.

"Dawn Spiral Cannon" Chen Kai pushed forward with his bandaged hands, and then a huge rotating cone hit the body of the silver skeleton that kept jumping up, and the huge volume made the silver skeleton in mid-air almost impossible to dodge. The bones that were directly hit by the spiral cannon were almost the worst, because they would be directly knocked back several steps, and even the bones on the body would be broken bones.

Because the main element that makes up the Dawn Spiral Cannon is the element of divine attributes, and this element has an innate restraint against dead creatures. At the same time, Chen Kai's talent for double attacks on evil creatures caused the silver skeleton that was hit to be broken with a lot of bones in an instant, and the bones of the whole body fell down and crashed into the pile of skeletons behind.

The skeletal creatures that it knocked down almost rolled into a ball, and rolling in such an environment was a very dangerous thing. Chen Kai saw at least three silver skeletons being knocked off the cliff directly like dumplings, and he didn't even have time to scream, and the silver skeletons couldn't scream, at most their mouths clicked and closed a few times.

He Liwen's movements were even simpler, she threw two cans directly from her backpack, one containing adhesive and the other containing lubricating oil. The jar containing the adhesive exploded directly in the air, forming a huge spider web, covering all the skeletal creatures that did not jump. Those who didn't jump were better, at least they still had a place to stand, and those who jumped were carried straight down the cliff. Because the cobwebs were directly split by them, and the cobwebs that had lost their pulling power could not even be used as ropes, and the result was that the silver skeleton that finally remembered to grab the cobwebs and wanted to climb up cut off its own back path.

As for the lube, it was even simpler, it was dumped directly onto the place where the silver skeleton landed and on the rock platform, and then all the silver skeletons who tried to jump onto the rock platform found themselves stinging under their feet. Immediately after that, their entire bodies involuntarily fell backwards, and naturally they slid off the rock platform and fell.

After the greasy spell landed on the path where those silver skeletons landed, these guys didn't dare to move, because they would slip under their feet if they moved. Most of the rocks are very rough, but there are some parts that are very smooth, but even if the rough area is greasy, it will become very smooth for a short time. This stopped seven or eight silver skeletons who wanted to rush up, as they would slip before they could jump.

The consequences of slipping in a place only thirty or forty centimeters wide are very miserable, the better ones fall directly to the ground, and the worse ones fall to the ground in an instant. Therefore, Chen Kai's pressure suddenly became very low, and they could almost take a little rest and wait for the greasy technique to disappear before they started.

After losing their numerical superiority, these silver skeletons naturally became less dangerous, especially Chen Kai, whose purpose was only to push these skeleton creatures off the cliff, so the battle became much easier. Less than half an hour later, the last of the skeletal creatures were completely reduced to the bottom of the cliff with a click. Of course, up to now, Chen Kai and the others have only gained less than 50,000 points of experience, which is not much less than the experience of killing these silver skeletons alone or completely.

But Chen Kai, who was immortal, was very happy, at least he didn't have to worry about encountering those dead creatures. Of course, there may still be some skeleton soldiers or bone knights in the mines above, but now that they are completely out of the confines of the mines, as long as those dead creatures do not come down to look for them, no monsters will find out that they have gone deep underground.

Sitting on the rock platform, Chen Kai breathed a sigh of relief, now that he finally had time to take a look at his surroundings, he could salivate at those purple iron ores on the rock wall. Chen Kai almost wanted to dig a special mining road in the rock wall, but he found that this kind of thing seemed impractical, because the purple iron was too hard.

Most of the aborigines mined pyrite by pure magic, that is, using earth mages to cast fossils into mud to peel the ore from the rock mass. This requires a great deal of mana input and precise spell control, after all, the consequences of a rock collapse are beyond the reach of any mage.

The consumption of pure manual mining of pyrite is several times that of spell mining, and almost every hundred kilograms of ore mined will be reimbursed a full two ore pickaxes. This is still mining poor ore, not this kind of hard rich ore with extremely high purity, so Chen Kai found that even if he used up the ore pickaxe in his backpack, he might not be able to collect the weight of a set of armor.

After all, who would have nothing to do with a dozen pickaxes in their backpacks, unless he's a miner who specializes in mining for a living. Chen Kai is not a professional miner, and he doesn't have a backpack of mining picks in his backpack, and the total number of mining picks in everyone's backpack is only five, and two of them are bad.

"Hey, I understand now what is the most painful, the most painful thing is that you obviously have a gold mountain in front of you, but you don't have a mining pickaxe to dig this gold mountain" Chen Kai, who was sitting on the rock platform, sighed softly, and when he scrapped the last mining pickaxe, he could only look at the huge purple iron mine in a daze.

The rock platform is littered with small pieces of red iron ore, and there are also a few rough pickaxes. It was processed by Chen Kai with bronze when he was in the middle of the day, but the texture was too soft, and it was completely scrapped after less than a few digs. However, the temperature of Bai Shasha's flame spell was not high enough, even if fire oil and charcoal were added, it could not melt the purple iron, and as a result, Chen Kai's plan to make a zuò pickaxe from purple iron failed before it even started.

"Be content, at least you have dug up a set of heavy armor," Su Xinghe patted his backpack and said, a full three hundred kilograms of ore is enough to make a set of heavy armor, and it is also the kind of heavy armor with a full-body plate helmet. This kind of heavy armor is the standard equipment of the royal heavy armor guards, the defense is extremely powerful, of course, the price is quite expensive, the cost of materials alone is more than 100,000 gold coins, not including the production fee.

"I knew that this was the case, I would have prepared some more mine picks in the first place" Chen Kai sighed, and then picked up the tattered guys on the ground, these scrapped mine picks Chen Kai still planned to try them to see if they could be smelted into a new one. Of course, after he discovered the poor iron ore in the backpack, his idea became even stronger, and as a result, Bai Shasha suffered, and her magic power was almost squeezed dry by Chen Kai.

In the end, Chen Kai took the freshly baked ore pickaxe and dug nearly 200 kilograms of purple iron ore before stopping, not because he didn't want to dig more, but because the backpack really couldn't be stuffed. After all, Chen Kai and their backpacks were stuffed with a whole month's worth of food and various supplies, and it had been a long time for Chen Kai and them to make room to stuff ores.

"I wonder what's going on behind this cave?" On the rock platform, Chen Kai, who was completely relaxed, rested in the tent, carefully checking the information on the map by the way. According to the situation marked on the map, they should be nearly a kilometer below the ground at this time, which is the real underground world.

At the same time, Chen Kai and the others also lost the best marker to check the road, because they missed the first fork in the road to confirm their bearing, when they were chased by those skeleton creatures. Of course, it doesn't mean that Chen Kai and the others don't know where they are now, because according to the instructions on the map, the location where they are standing now is in the fork of the earth vein, as long as they enter the cave and follow the map, they can walk into the earth artery.

"I don't know what the so-called veins of the earth look like? Why is this name always mentioned on the map? This question was in everyone's minds, and then, after a brief rest, he stepped into the cave with a torch, and it was already dark outside. But in the deep underground world, it is pitch black both day and night, and only a burning torch can give people a little light.
