Chapter 720
Crassus smiled for the first time in a long time: "When we leave this place, I'll write to you." ”
Unable to think of any more reasons why he should go into the cave alone, Zeratul had no choice but to agree to the Zerg to go with him. There was no doubt that with him by their side, the Star Spirit Clan was still very happy. Kerks' tenacious will and strong arms make it less intimidating to enter the Black Worm's lair.
Of course, the trip was fraught with danger.
But Zeratu knew that someone had to do it, and he believed that this opportunity was rare. It's not that he feels good about himself, it's just that the preparation in advance makes him feel like he's made the right choice.
The two of them finally decided: let Xes lead the way first, and then replace him with him when Zeratul recognized his surroundings. Kerrs tied his tomahawk behind his back, because the passage was too narrow for the huge tomahawk to wield at all, and it was useless. The Zerg pulled out a long dagger from his bosom, and the dagger would not be restricted here.
"I'm here to keep watch for you," Crassus assured as they left, "and I'll never be discovered by the Black Worms." ”
The Underground Elves use this tunnel to transport ore, which creates excellent conditions for them, otherwise even Zeratul would have had a hard time finding a suitable entrance. For most of the tunnel, Kers could only cling his arms to his side. He held a dagger in his hand, his eyes fixed on the front, and listened to the sounds around him with bated breath.
The voices in front of the tunnel grew louder and louder, and Zeratul hoped that the noise would work in their favor. The loud noise can distract the Underground Elves, who will eventually ignore the presence of Zeratul and the Zerg.
A faint light appeared in front of him, illuminating the curved tunnel. Fox looked a little nervous. Zeratul placed a hand on his shoulder.
"If I'm not mistaken." Zeratu whispered, "After entering the cave, the black worm should take the passage on the left. ”
Nexus snorted in understanding and continued walking. The road ahead is getting brighter and brighter, and the noise is almost crazy.
The scene before the two of them was even more chaotic than what Zeratul had seen before.
There were at least twice as many Underground Elves in the cave as there had been that time, and each of them hurried around, as if they would die if they stopped...... And that's probably what happened.
A few Undergeeheads are busy smashing up large piles of ore, while others are constantly adding fuel to the towering furnace. Several chains were attached to huge jars, and the molten metal was poured into huge molds. On the other side of the cave are several large vats with water in them, and the molds that have been filled with molten metal are then placed in the buckets.
Several Underground Elves were busy removing a mold that had already been placed in a bucket. The vats emitted puffs of steam. The underground elves in the steam were sweating profusely.
In the distance on the right, two pieces of armor that had already been cast were discarded aside. Because there are some subtle cracks in the armor, no matter how the black worm uses them, the armor is just a pile of scrap metal.
"I still don't understand what they're doing it for." Zeratul grunted. "Could it be that Chen Feng wants to make a set of armor for himself?"
Crassus frowned and said, "That guy can do anything......"
I can't think about it. The Star Spirit looked carefully to the left side of the cave. There is indeed a trail there. It led to a huge passage, and he remembered that Chen Feng had walked there.
"There it is! Let's go there! ”
Nexus nodded, but stopped Zeratul: "There's an underground elf down there. Wait a minute. ”
The Underground Elves that Crassus was referring to were busy hauling away the remaining rubble from mining. Zeratul took a closer look at the progress there, and immediately realized that they would be there for a long time.
"We have to break them apart, or distract them, ......"
"You might as well try the ban."
Zeratul thought of the contents of the pouch on his waist, and then looked back into the hole. There are a few things in the bag that might work –
But just as he put his hand into the bag, Chen Feng's violent voice suddenly came, and the huge cave shook for a while. "Meklo! I am back! I guess it's okay this time, or I'm going to eat every single one of you...... Make you my hors d'oeuvres! ”
In the distance of the cave, an underground elf wearing an apron that Zeratul had seen last time suddenly ran up. He kicked the working Underground Elves a few times, urging them to pick up speed, and then scurried towards the high passage. He grunted as Zeratul's keen ears told him that the Underground Elf was talking about formulas.
Before Meclo could reach the entrance of the tunnel, the black worm stepped out of the hole.
Kerx cursed casually—the Zerg had never seen how Chen Feng was obsessed with this kind of transformation—but luckily, Kerx's scolding was drowned out by the roar of the giant worm.
"Meklo! You useless fellow, you're not even as good as a bug! I can't take it anymore! Have you made new armor? ”
"I've built two! Two, my master! See? He said, gesturing in a direction where several Underground Elves were laboriously dragging a pair of large pieces of metal armor out of the mold. Despite having cooled in the massive barrel, the two armors still carried residual heat, sizzling enough to burn a person to a serious injury.
"I wish it could be stronger than last time! Those two were so useless last time! ”
The gray-haired underground elf nodded quickly and said solemnly, "This armor is made of selected high-quality metal!" Stronger than steel! With your strength, these two armors can withstand any impact, but they are as light as a feather on your body. ”
As if to emphasize this, the Underground Elves who forged the first armor carried it for a while with ease, and Zeratul thought that it would take ten times as many Underground Elves to transport it.
Chen Feng looked at the armor with longing. His breathing quickened as the hot, reddened armor passed by him.
"We're just going to put it in the tank now, and after a while, we'll be able to-"
"No!" Chen Feng suddenly roared.
The old underground elf couldn't help but shudder: "W-what do you mean, my master?" ”
Chen Feng stared at the armor intently, his eyes were almost crazy: "I'm going to wear it on my body now!" ”
"But the heat from above will only add to your burden. Because of the actual need, the bolt must also be red-hot. You really should be cautious and wait-"
The giant black insect stretched out a claw and stomped heavily on the ground, close to Meklo: "It's ...... now"
"Alright, Master Chen Feng! Do it now, my master Chen Feng! Get moving, you slackers! Meclo yelled at the Underground Elves transporting the armor.
Just as they turned around, Chen Feng walked towards a large, open space by the wall. Zeratul and the Zerg watched in confusion as the giant insect lay on the ground, exposing the right side of its body. The huge wound that opened still had flames coming out from time to time.
"Bring it here!" Chen Feng yelled, "Hurry up! ”
"What are they going to do with that armor?" The Star Spirit grunted.
Fox shook his head, just like the second monk was puzzled.
"Bolt ready, bolt ready!" Mecklow ordered, "The hotter the better!" ”
A dozen or so Underground Elves split into two groups and began to place a giant pair of fire tongs in the furnace. Zeratul saw them pull out a huge bolt from the furnace, at least the size of the Zerg.
"Hammer Squad! Prepare the hammer! ”
There was a grinding sound on the right side of the chamber. A dozen underground elves pulled a catapult-like machine towards Chen Feng. There was a huge metal head on the machine, one end of the metal head was flat, and some chains and pulleys were attached to the machine, and Zeratul couldn't guess the purpose of the whole machine.
"Armor!" Chen Feng became impatient, "Hurry up and bring it, do as I say!" ”
The Underground Elves hurriedly transported the armor over. When they approached Chen Feng's side, they swayed from side to side several times, not because the armor was too heavy, but because the air flow exhaled from Chen Feng's mouth was too great, making these small underground elves swaying from side to side, and it was difficult to maintain balance. After a gesture from Meklo, they leaned forward together, and their armor landed on the black insect's scaly body. (To be continued......)
