Chapter 437: Southbound
"Kuzuo, in the name of my family, I bestow upon you the glory of the King of the Earth. You will be the only king of the underworld, and you will be the ruler of the dwarves. If one day, I conquer this world, I will launch an expedition for you to reclaim the world that belongs to you dwarves. ”
Kuzo obviously didn't take the promise to heart, but he was still excited.
Because the terms of the human refuge have been agreed upon, the human will be responsible for building the city of the earth, providing food, arming the dwarves, and sending troops to help.
Unifying the islands is not a problem, and as long as the food is controlled in their own hands, those conquered tribes will not resist at all. Everyone has not been able to unify for so many years, because it is difficult to survive, and eating has become a problem. If you unify hundreds of thousands of people, once you run out of food, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xia He didn't have to worry about this problem, the empire had too much grain in stock, and some semi-finished products, such as rice crackers, were piled up. For humans, these things are taken out and distributed in disaster years, but for dwarves, they are things that are used to live.
If you can provide rice crackers, countless dwarves will work for you.
Xia He subdued a dwarven tribe and immediately went to solve the food problem, otherwise Kuzuo would not have any loyalty at all. The dwarves pay attention to their promises, and what Xia He promises, they must be done.
Xia He handed over the remaining details to Su Qi to deal with, and he returned to the dungeon by himself.
Xia He has eighteen small world skins on his body, all of which are intact. Two of them are still active and will certainly have other uses in the future, and eight more are of strategic value and are to be installed on floating warships. Only eight small worlds have completely collapsed, and the remaining space is not large, which can be used to refine ready-made space equipment, which does not give attributes, and is used to transport food and materials.
Xia He first had to transport grain from Cape Storm to fill the warehouses here. There is a lot of grain in Storm Point, which was purchased by Xia He before, although the cost is high, Xia He doesn't mind. Anyway, with these eight space skins in the future, the cost of transporting grain has plummeted.
Other space equipment, through the teleportation array, the consumption is particularly large.
And the skin of the small world is equivalent to the fetal membrane of heaven and earth, and the space inside will not interfere with the spatial attributes of the teleportation array. Although it would theoretically cost more, in the operation of the formation, the situation is reversed.
This is also some of the techniques obtained by Daomen researching the teleportation array, and the pure magic teleportation array cannot let the small world pass through at all.
Xia He left the matter to Freya to do, and in the dungeon, there was already a Dao Fire Forge, disguised as a magic furnace, which was directly dismantled from the academy. Freya has the help of a furnace of fire, and the speed of refining equipment is dozens of times faster than that of Xia He.
The power of the Daomen gods is beyond that of the Taoist priest most of the time, unless the Taoist priest becomes a golden immortal.
Xia He also personally inspected the construction of the dungeon, the teleportation array, the barracks, the alchemy factory, the treasury, etc., and everything was done well. On the other side of Storm Point, soldiers are still being selected, and they are teleported over one by one. These soldiers came without equipment and only wore a pair of shorts to save on the cost of teleportation.
All the equipment is now built here.
Xia He couldn't stay here long, enough time had been wasted underground, and he had to go back to the Tenth Magic Academy.
Freya gave Xia He a part of the refined jade, which was enough for him to practice, mainly high-grade jade and superb jade, plus some blank jade talismans that had been cut and refined. Xia He's jade liquid was only given to Freya, and the rest was thrown into the Taiyin Mirror to improve the quality of the Taiyin Mirror.
After the quality of this Taiyin mirror is improved, as long as it is formed, it is a Taoist weapon, and it is not a problem for Xia He to use it to become an immortal.
The natal dao weapon, when he becomes an immortal, will naturally transform into an immortal weapon.
This is one of the magic weapons that immortals value the most, and many people don't have such a good thing when they become immortals.
Xia He refining the Taiyin Mirror, this time it is not used for fighting, at least it is not needed before becoming an immortal. The Taiyin Mirror is a thing to protect his cultivation, and after recovering to the Yang God realm, he has not yet walked the road behind.
With the Taiyin Mirror, even if Xia He returned to the Dragon and Tiger Dao Palace, he could be regarded as the richest man among the core disciples.
Xia He left the dungeon and continued his march towards the south of the cave with Medirli and the three of them. Qiu Xuanji saw Xia He's subordinates, and he was completely convinced, and he vaguely knew that Xia He was afraid that he was born in the Dao Sect.
This made him feel a little reverie in his heart, Asra can take root in this world, why can't he do it?
What a good thing it is to practice in the main world, even if you give Asra a hand, you will not suffer.
Abigail is also in a much better mood, after Xia He's enlightenment, she trained with Yelena and others, and every day is very fulfilling. And the progress of Yelena and the others made her vigilant, if she didn't improve her strength, she would fall behind.
It turned out that these children were not worth mentioning in her eyes, but this goodbye, almost everyone had the means to threaten her life.
Most of the underground world is dark, but after entering the life area, many glowing plants appear, and even the rocks of the cave have some light.
Abigail was very curious, and she was just about to pick a flower, when Xia He's mage grabbed her waist and pulled her back.
"Toxic. ”
Abigail was at a loss and said, "I'm not afraid." ”
"It's not a plant, it just looks like it, and if you touch it, you'll swallow it in one gulp. This thing has a mouth full of toxins and disgusting parasites. Your blood isn't strong enough to be powerful, is it?"
Abigail is a shiver, some parasite eggs, it takes a lot of strength to kill, otherwise the worms will settle in your belly.
She is not afraid of toxins, but this parasite is as disgusting as it is.
She was already imagining the worms wriggling in her stomach, and her eyes were a little black.
"Underground creatures are of great value, so don't destroy them, maybe those parasites are good medicinal herbs. It's just a lot of work to cultivate, and it should be possible to get some half-elves to raise. ”
"Don't say it......" Abigail's face was bitter.
"Then you still can't touch it around?"
"Don't dare. Abigail waved his hand.
"Well, ten miles further on, I'll set up camp. Xuanji, have you recovered?"
"It's recovered, my consumption in the dungeon is not too big, and there are still medicines. But adults...... Now that we've got the isolated island to the north, why do we have to travel through the underworld?"
"Prospecting. Xia He's answer was short and powerful.
The dwarves don't care about the jade veins at all, and the people of this world don't care either, but they need it.
If there are a large number of jade veins in the underground world, then you will have the capital to dominate the world. Jade can be used in the Dao Gate to make talismans, store true qi and even heaven and earth aura. In other words, all kinds of magic stones, all kinds of gems, and Dao Sects in this world can be replaced with jade.
Two different civilizations, different materials were chosen. It's not that anyone is better than whom, anyway, the practice of Taoist priests is far better than other gemstones.
It's not that gems are useless, it's just that Daomen's development of jade has reached the extreme.
Even Da Luo Jinxian also has a demand for jade.
Xia He stopped because the little ghost had found a jade vein, two miles away. Now the camping site chosen by Xiahe is full of stalagmites, and the caves are relatively short, without vegetation, and the location is slightly higher and relatively dry. Around this location, the terrain is steeply downward, and there is space on the lower level.
In an area with a radius of several hundred meters, Xia He's divine sense swept through, and there was no sign of life.
In front of the camp, walking down more than 500 meters, there is a spacious cave like a large platform, rich in vegetation. But moving on, there is a cliff-like terrain with a drop of more than 100 meters.
Further on, there is a crack in the earth, where the temperature rises.
That is, under the cracks, it is possible to communicate with the ground fire. Such a position, the dwarves will like, they use the power of earth fire to forge, almost a natural skill. Dwarves in many worlds have such abilities. Xia He estimated that within ten miles of this, there would inevitably be dwarven tribes.
The jade vein, near the crack, is afraid that it is the place where the dwarves move.
Xia He said about the nearby situation, and Qiu Xuanji said, "My lord, your escape spell is limited, right?"
Xia Hedao: "There are some, but I stopped to explore the scale of the ore veins to see if the dwarves have done any sabotage." If I don't destroy the Ore Vein Essence, I'll go around it. ”
Qiu Xuanji said: "Then it is better to collect some superb jade first, so as not to cause killing, this is still an isolated island location, and sooner or later it will be unified by Kuzuo." ”
Xia He smiled, Qiu Xuanji's sect should not advocate killing. His world should be relatively peaceful, or his sect is too powerful, so strong that no one dares to provoke, and a disciple like Qiu Xuanji will appear.
"Okay, but I don't want to use my spell now, if you have a way to help me collect jade, you can go. ”
Qiu Xuanji smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, my method of escaping can only last less than a minute, and going in to collect ore is equivalent to finding death." ”
Xia He smiled and said nothing, the little ghost had already gone to explore the ore vein. He found that the ghosts and gods of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Palace are really suitable for this, and the five ghosts can simply move freely underground, even ordinary ghosts, and there are few restrictions on the retreat, but they can't collect like the five ghosts.
The imp went down the cresm, and after about a mile of depth, he escaped south into the rocks.
There are four or five miles of depth forward, and the ore vein is really rich, Xia He judged it slightly, this ore vein is not as good as the dungeon, the scale is about the same, but the quality difference is too big.
The reserves of high-grade jade are only one percent of those in the dungeon, or even less.
