Chapter 204: The End of the Spiral Column

I found this.

Chen Shi thought silently.

Walking and stopping, I also encountered a lot of adventurers along the way, obviously from the third floor, the number of adventurers entering has increased, and the danger of the third layer lies in the ancient ruins, and the danger of walking on the spiral pillar is not great.

So they could pick up their speed, and by noon, they were through the third floor and reached the second floor.

Chen Shi was wrong, he thought that there were a lot of adventurers he had encountered, but in fact, there were more people on the second floor, and the second layer was called "Turning the Blue Sea", as the name suggests, it was talking about the endless blue sea on the second floor.

However, this blue sea did not flow into the hole where the spiral pillar came out, and the terrain of the entire second layer was tilted from the position of the spiral pillar to the surroundings, and the sea water formed a vast sandy beach around the hollow, and it was impossible to really enter the hollow.

Otherwise, when he was on the fifth layer, what Chen Shi saw was not a spiral pillar that he couldn't see clearly, but a waterfall pouring down.

On the spiral pillars of the second layer of "turning the blue sea", a large number of various wooden houses were built, which means that they no longer walk on the spiral stairs, but walk through all kinds of wooden houses.

Some of these cabins were deserted, while others were places for adventurers to rest or trade, and the number of people clearly exceeded the third floor, probably no less than hundreds.

However, there are still a few here, on the blue sea, Chen Shi saw countless ships sailing among them, and the inky black dot is a person, but I am afraid that they are all adventurers.

"I can understand the blue sea, why is it a turn?"

Chen Shi didn't understand, so he asked the burning direction around him.

"Because you are heading towards the end of the blue sea, after a few days of sailing, you will find that you are back where you are...... That's why it's called a turnaround. ”

Ran Xiang replied.

"I see, what are so many ships doing on it?"

Chen Shi pointed to the ships on the blue sea.

"Salvage."

"Salvage?"

"There are many strange relics in the depths of this turquoise sea, which are said to be the ruins of the battle between the gods, so for hundreds of years, countless adventurers have been diving and digging here."

Ran Xiang looked deep: "It's a pity that many relics are more or less not so easy to obtain, and even many relics have side effects, and the number of adventurers who died here because of salvaging relics is more than the first layer." ”

Chen Shi seemed to feel a magnificent historical picture, just like the gold rush in the 19th century, for the sake of wealth, I don't know how many people died on the road.

"Let's take a break."

Ran Xiang said suddenly, stopping at a place where adventurers could rest.

It was an uninhabited wooden house, with an extended balcony in front of it for a dozen people to rest, the only downside was that there was no guardrail. The breeze from the blue sea blew and made people's faces itch.

Chen Shi has the protection of the gamma suit, and he has long ignored the cold and warmth, but looking at the expressions of Xingdian and the others, it is neither cold nor hot here.

Sitting on the wooden balcony, like the wooden floor of the home, even the dust is not there under the wind, if you can ignore this unstable encounter, enjoy the breeze, overlooking the turquoise sea, it is as comfortable as a vacation.

During the break, Ran Xiang took out the dry food again and shared it, and now that the two sides had established a preliminary trust, Chen Shi also dared to try a little food.

After eating, he continued on his way, stopping and stopping all the way, leaving under the suspicious and vigilant gaze of the rest of the adventurers, and in the middle of the night, resting in the deserted cabin.

At noon on the second day, they finally came to the first layer of "ruins".

Unlike the endless blue sea on the second floor, this is a real ruin, with countless huge stone buildings, ruined as far as the eye can see, and it is impossible to count how many there are, so it is clear that this should have been a huge city in the past.

"It is said that this was once a city of giants......

Ran Xiang said and laughed disdainfully: "We have seen the Giant Wisdom Species, just on the border of the Ice Nation in the north, but although those giants are tall, they lack a cultural system of communication, and they still live in primitive life, where is it possible to build such a city that seems to be inhabited by gods." ”

Chen Shi looked carefully and found that those broken wall buildings were very large, just the arch, which was larger than the triumphal arch, and some palace stone chairs, all of which were not for ordinary people to sit on.

And the stairs that pass through are almost more than three meters high, which is completely the height of one floor, how can it be for ordinary people to step on?

"The ruins have been explored by many adventurers for hundreds of years, but the secrets inside have not been fully resolved, and relics are still unearthed from time to time."

Ran Xiang said: "This is also a place where the number of adventurers gathers, of course, it can't be compared to the surface. ”

Chen Shi knew where Ran Xiang was talking about, at the exit of the ruined capital, there was a nestled town, which was the place with a large population.

"Soon, we're at our destination."

There are also some xenomorph monsters flying in the air, but these xenomorph monsters are not as powerful as the lower levels, and they are more afraid of adventurers and are not close to the spiral pillar.

As the direction of the fire pointed, the spiral column terminated a hundred meters above their heads, replaced by four "lifting platforms".

It was not the original wooden "lifting platform" that Chen Shi had encountered at the Astounding people before, it was obviously a metal lifting platform powered by steam pressure.

Chen Shi gradually discovered that although the people of the four countries were not as advanced in science and technology as the "new people", the steam engine had already been invented and was gradually entering a period of initial development of the industrial age.

The most terrifying thing is that the level of the "new people" has no coal resources, so they use an alternative energy source, but in the conversation between Chen Shi and Ran Xiang, he learned that there is coal on the surface.

They call coal flint, a resource that can be burned, and it is the cornerstone of industrial development.

Therefore, Chen Shi roughly estimated that the scientific and technological strength of the people of Shikoku was probably about the same as that of mankind in the mid-19th century...... Well, it can't be strictly calculated like this, in the middle of the 19th century, scientific understanding was much more than Shikoku, and human beings were not enclosed in this "Xindi-36", and science and technology developed rapidly and normally.

The four countries are enclosed in this environment, they may have no knowledge of the stars, they do not know what chemical elements they are, and their physical knowledge is even more basic, but in terms of biological development, it is quite wonderful and incredible.

For example, the immortal power of the True Shadow Research is all witchcraft on the earth.

In the same way, the ordinary military strength of the citizens of Shikoku may not be as good as that of humans in the mid-19th century, but in terms of high-end military affairs, they are superior to those of their contemporaries.

Just because they have incredible relics.
