Chapter 189: Breath from the Abyss

Building a road is not a simple matter, if it is according to another world, then first flatten the ground, then the rammed earth layer, the gravel layer alternately paved, paved 5 or 6 layers, and then asphalt and cement poured.

For this world, these are almost impossible things, first of all, there is no asphalt or cement here, Langdon is not a major in this area, and there is no fierce man like some other stories, what biology, chemistry, physics and all kinds of applied sciences will be proficient in everything, more superhuman than superman, more light brain than light brain.

Therefore, it is impossible to build that kind of straight road surface.

Moreover, in the underground world, there are very few long sections of dirt or sandy ground, and there are basically large rocks or simply a mountain at a short distance, which is the biggest trouble for road construction.

Therefore, in the entire underground world, there are almost no official routes from one place to another like in the above-earth world.

Even Sørenord, or the largest city in the underworld, Morsobre, have only built relatively smooth roads on the periphery of the city, and there is no way to expand the roads to the entire territory of the control area.

For example, Sørenod is a road that extends several kilometers from several gates of the city, and then divides more than 10 roads according to the terrain, which is also less than 10 kilometers long, and then there are also unbuilt primitive roads, the longest of which is only 15 kilometers in total, which is simply not shorter than the large area controlled by Sorrenord.

They didn't have the ability to build longer roads, and what they could do was send troops, like Langdon now, to remove all the dangers from those roads.

And for those who have long been accustomed to the dangerous and difficult environment of the underground world, it is already a great happiness to be able to have such a non-dangerous road to walk, and it doesn't matter if the road is not easy to walk, or it is a little farther away.

Of course, for Langdon now, it's not enough to just remove all the dangers along the way, and that will indeed give people the option to pass through the Zomas.

But the problem is that his fame is not big enough, but the reputation of the Maas region is even more dangerous and dangerous, so just getting rid of those dangers can only allow the place to slowly accumulate popularity.

If this is done, perhaps in the next 5 to 10 years, Yuanwang Town will truly become a transportation hub.

But Langdon couldn't afford to wait, and the merchants were already waiting in Yuanwang Town, what were they waiting for? Of course, a large number of people came, so what he wanted to do was to build a few roads that were far safer and more convenient than other routes in a short time, and then publicize them through some small means.

The deal with the Hoflan family and the Qi Weita family is not so much for the sake of important people as for publicity.

When those people pass through the Epos area, which takes much shorter than expected, to reach their respective destinations, of course, they will consciously or unconsciously publicize this matter, and then other people who also have similar travel needs will start to consider the feasibility of traveling from the Epomax area, which is the word-of-mouth effect.

So, in addition to clearing the road, Langdon also needs to build roads.

Ding-bang!

Workers pounded stones with copper pickaxes to clear the rocks from the road.

On the other side, Langdon's hand lit up with a magical glow, and he pointed at a particularly prominent stone, which immediately cut through it quickly and automatically, and then slowly floated.

The next moment, Langdon's hand pointed in the other direction.

The floating stone had appeared in the sky above that place in an instant, and then the buoyancy suddenly disappeared, and the huge stone smashed into the earth with a bang, and the smooth and flat side was upward, just level with the ground.

This is not the first time Langdon has used this skill, just 5 days ago, the engineering team encountered a more troublesome problem - a stone mountain that is mostly buried in the soil, but there is a sharp rock mountain exposed outside, with the speed of the engineering team, it will take at least a week or so to dispose of the stone mountain, but Langdon took action, but directly removed more than two-thirds of the sharp point, saving at least 4 days of construction.

However, although they have already seen the lord use this skill, now seeing this scene, there are still people who are amazed by this magical picture.

Langdon shook his head dissatisfied.

This skill is easy to use, but there are too many limitations, one is to limit the volume and area of the stone under control, and the other is to limit the number of times it can be used, which can only be used once every 5 days, which is really very harsh, and it is precisely for this reason that the progress of road repair is greatly limited.

However, this is the case, the speed of road construction has exceeded that of all the road construction teams in the underground world.

After all, it is not to build a cement asphalt road, but to smooth the entire road surface, clear the obstacles that protrude from the ground, and fill in the gravel in some places that are easy to produce mud and difficult to walk.

These days, the road to the border with the Homphlands has been almost completed, and there has been one encounter with Hogg in the meantime.

The girl had already cleared all the dangers on this road with the Goblin Knight, and left with the Goblin Knight three days ago, and went to another route to continue the cleanup.

Just when Langdon was digging and building roads with the engineering team, looking at the town from afar, an unexpected person appeared in front of Lu Zijing, who was left behind.

The man's whole body was hidden in the hooded robe, and from his voice, he couldn't tell half of his age, identity, etc., the only thing he could feel was the vicissitudes of life in his voice.

If Langdon heard it, he would definitely say in his heart, "This is a person with a story", but Lu Zijing was not a bird at all, and just said lightly: "You want to find the lord, but it's a pity, the lord is out, you can find me if there is anything." ”

"Gone out? It seems that we are not as destined as he said. The man seemed to smile bitterly in his robe, and then said, "If he can give you the whole town, and seems to trust you, then it doesn't matter if you tell you about it." ”

"The last time I came here, I felt that there was a dark aura here, not the breath of the underworld, that aura was more violent and ferocious, as if it came from the abyss. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zijing condensed slightly, but heard that he had continued to speak.

"Of course, this is not the main problem, because although I felt that breath that time, it was quiet and there was no malice, so I will let you go, but this time it ......"

He paused, then continued: "There is a second breath here, it is very similar to the previous breath, but it is more violent, and full of malice, it seems to want to choose someone to devour at any time, if it is allowed to explode, this town will be in trouble!"
