Chapter 209: The Mystery of the Runes
The crowd was silent.
"Elder Zhang, the prospectors who died on our side, I will apply to the group to give them double pensions, scimitars, and your team members are the same, even if they are injured, I will increase by 30% on the basis of the remuneration agreed in the contract."
Lu Siya gritted her teeth and said, "It's still the same sentence, as long as you find the red glow jade vein, the whole world is ours!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, put aside their unprofessional emotions, and took action again.
They used a special underground acoustic wave detector to scan the area around the cavern, looking for high-energy reactions and gaps to a larger space.
Another prospector from the Qingtian Group sat cross-legged and chanted words, allowing fine spiritual lines to emerge from his temples, eyes and eyebrows.
Lin Chuan told Meng Chao that this prospector has special abilities, which can perceive the slightest changes in wind speed and direction, and can also accurately detect the temperature and humidity, and is like a human weather station.
Under his guidance, the group quickly found the corner of the cave.
The seemingly solid rock wall is full of sinuous crevices, and there is a wisp of breeze penetrating through the black cracks, and the rock wall is very moist, and there are some moss-like creatures growing on it, and most importantly, next to the crevices below the rock wall, there is a beautiful, bewitching and dangerous blood-patterned flower colony.
"Behind this gap, there must be more space, the rock wall is not too thick, and the blood pattern flower is spreading all the way from here." Lu Siya came to a conclusion.
The feedback from the acoustic detector also supported her inference.
After Dr. Ye collected the sample, two Blade Warriors carried flamethrowers and burned the original Blood Pattern Flower plant.
Zhang Weiyan and other senior prospectors of Qingtian Group stepped forward, first put their palms on the rock wall, closed their eyes, released spiritual energy, and sensed the thickness, structure and composition of the rock wall.
After a moment of deliberation, he used a geological hammer and pitons to quickly engrave runes on the rock wall.
They all drew auxiliary systems, runes related to geological structures, and Meng Chao didn't know anything about it.
I only saw them dancing with dragons and phoenixes, and in just half an hour, in a space with a diameter of two or three meters, thousands of mysteries and intricate runes were drawn that were linked to each other, forming an intricate rune array.
After that, the rune ink refined from the blood of the super beast and the underground spiritual liquid was slowly poured into it from the opening at the top of the rune array.
Strange things happened, the rune ink did not flow everywhere along the rock wall, but it seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, flowing in the ravines of the runes, and soon, it flowed all over every brushstroke, emitting a faint light.
Several senior prospectors sat cross-legged on their knees, releasing powerful brain waves as they chanted incantations.
Their life magnetic field resonated with the spiritual magnetic force field constructed by the rune array, stimulating the powerful spiritual energy contained in the rune ink, reaching the atomic spherical energy layer of the rock, changing the properties of matter from the atomic level.
An incredible scene unfolded, the originally indestructible rock formation, under the agitation of psionic energy, gradually softened, turning into a substance similar to sand, silently collapsing, revealing a long and narrow tunnel.
The rocks outside the rune range still maintain a solid structure that is strong enough to support the existence of the tunnel.
This was not the first time Meng Chao had seen the mysteries of runes.
But every time he sees this kind of magical power that can "gather sand into a tower, turn stones into gold" and change the atomic structure of matter, he is still amazed and puzzled like everyone else.
Even the transcendent beings who wield this power do not know why, and can only vaguely say things such as "runes are the projection of the spiritual magnetic field on a plane, the planetary magnetic field that can connect human beings with the planetary magnetic field, and even the cosmic magnetic field between the stars", and so on, which they themselves do not understand.
To this day, the principle of runes is still in a black box.
After crossing into the other world, the earthlings found these wonderful symbols that resemble words and can activate powerful power in the ancient ruins under the transcendent tower.
It also makes people interested in the true face of the otherworld.
Many people believe that the Atlas is not a wild planet with only monsters.
Tens of millions of years ago, in the primeval era, there should have been a highly developed civilization here.
But for various reasons, it unfortunately perished, leaving only the relics of the past glory, but it was inherited by the earthlings who came by chance.
- Why are you so sure that the primeval civilization has fallen?
Quite simply, even with the technological power of the Earth in the mid-to-late 21st century, if an alien city crosses over to the Earth as a whole, whether the other party lands in the Sahara Desert or the Amazon jungle...... Any inaccessible place will be discovered by humans within twenty-four hours, and no more than three days at most, and humans will definitely take action and come into contact with the "alien city".
But Dragon City has traveled to the Otherworld for more than half a century.
They still haven't found an otherworldly indigenous tribe with intelligence.
Even if there is a fog, it seems that it is impossible to say.
Therefore, even if there is an otherworldly civilization in the depths of the mist, its level of social and technological development is definitely not high, and it is destined to be crushed by the steel torrent of earthlings.
"Conquer the other world, explore and inherit the power of the primeval civilization, and return to the earth gorgeously with the power of the incomparably advanced primeval civilization, and help the earth's civilization step from the 'planetary age' to the 'age of stars' and become the master of the entire starry sky!"
This is the most magnificent dream of many Dragon City teenagers buried deep in their hearts.
Including Meng Chao before rebirth.
Now, he naturally knows how unattainable this dream is.
The Otherworld is where there are institutionalized, intelligent natives.
Although they have long forgotten the glory of the primeval civilization of the past, they have even turned their ancestors' superior technology into magic and curse.
But destroying is never easier than building.
An automatic rifle in the hands of a primitive man can also kill a modern, heavily armed man.
After the Monster War, these otherworldly intelligent natives will cause great trouble to the earthlings.
If you want to completely solve these troubles, you must win the monster war at the lowest cost and in the shortest time, so that Dragon City can compete with the other world's races in a "full blooded state".
The offensive on the northern front must be a resounding victory.
The key to everything is most likely in front of them.
This is the reason why Meng Chao is willing to take risks and go deep into the ground.
Not for gratuities.
It's not to hug Lu Siya's slender, straight, round and powerful, delicate and jade-like thighs.
It's for the sake of our compatriots, for the future, and for the civilization of the earth.
"What are you thinking?" Lin Chuan asked in a low voice.
Meng Chao was taken aback: "It's nothing, I'm definitely not for the thighs." ”
Lin Chuan was stunned: "What thigh?" ”
Meng Chao scratched his head: "The thigh of the sword halberd demon pig, I'm hungry." ”
“…… You have to be careful, we are about to enter the area where the spiritual veins of the earth are gathered, and I can feel that the spiritual magnetic field around us is getting stronger and stronger, and it is very likely to interfere with our minds. ”
Lin Chuan said solemnly, "The closer we get to the spiritual vein, the more likely it is that the human brain will be affected, and the most primitive emotions and desires will be amplified, gradually revealing the most true nature, and even devouring people's reason, turning us beyond recognition."
"So, don't be cranky, focus on the task, remember to sit and meditate for a moment every half hour or an hour to make sure that the mental index is maintained at about 100% at all times."
"Understood, thank you, Brother Lin."
"My own brother, we saved each other's lives just now, what is there to thank, let's go, everyone got in."
Prospectors walk through the tunnels.
Every other section, experienced prospectors would carve runes into the rock face, turning the rock into gravel and sending the tunnel deeper into the rock formation.
It is no easier for an auxiliary transcendent to perform such a "magic" than for a combat transcendent to unleash a special move.
Including Zhang Weiyan, the faces of several senior prospectors withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they had to swallow genetic drugs and high-energy nutrients, meditate for a long time, and regulate pranayama.
Luckily, there are still a large number of combat transcendents in the team.
Geologists have tested the rock formations in this area to be strong enough to withstand strong shock waves.
The three Heavenly Realm powerhouses and the Blade Clan's Realm Peak took turns to fight, using the simplest and most brutal methods to bombard the rocks indiscriminately.
Although it does not have the grace of a seasoned prospector, it also allows the tunnel to continue to move forward.
Lu Siya's eyes were full of color, and she cheered for the team members, saying that she had sensed an increasingly strong spiritual energy reaction, and not far ahead, there must be spiritual veins gathered.
Finally, after three hours, they opened the tunnel and crashed headlong into an even larger subterranean space.
"Wow!"
The first prospector team member who stumbled in was shocked by the magnificent and beautiful scene in front of him.
The people who followed were equally dizzy and stunned.
In front of them, there was a colorful crystal palace.
Whether it is the rock wall, the stone pillars and stalagmites, all of them show a crystal clear translucent texture, and bloom with a faint fluorescence, and the light is like water, flowing slowly in the air.
Not to mention the earth, even in the other world, a senior prospector like Zhang Weiyan rarely sees such a magnificent scene.
"Red Pillar Crystal!"
"What a blue sparkle!"
"Celestial Bronze!"
"Purple Serpentine!"
"Pyroxene!"
"With so many spar veins gathered together, and the purity is extremely high, the difficulty of mining is extremely low, as long as the doomsday beast on the ground is eliminated, the large drilling equipment will be drilled directly here, it is simply a treasure at your fingertips!"
Zhang Weiyan's gray beard trembled.
The exhaustion of the dozens of sets of rune arrays that had been engraved and activated in a row just now disappeared, and the dried blood vessels seemed to be refilled with the magic of the hedrons, and they suddenly became more than ten years younger.
The members of the Scimitar and Blade clans also smiled.
Even the wounded man who had been bitten off by a lion dragon fish and had his face pale was overjoyed.
Under the unpredictable light of the hedrons, every muscle on their faces squirmed.
