Chapter 36: The Attack on the Underground Palace
Most of the nobles liked to dig a cellar under the mansion to store things or hide, but this one was too big.
Xia Ye went around and found that the house was not big, but the ground was dug very deep, and even expanded to the streets on both sides, forming a dungeon.
"There's a problem!"
Xia Ye found a stone slab in the firewood room in the backyard, and without smashing it open, through the gap next to it, he could see the steps below.
Bang!
He lifted the slate, and was not afraid of danger, lit the torch, and went straight down.
The stairs were long and spiral-shaped, and when Natsuno reached the cellar, he estimated that he had descended about ten meters.
Except for a few air-dried skeletons, there were only a few empty boxes left.
"Ahh
Woad was disappointed.
"This place is for deception, the real dungeon is below. ”
Xia Ye found a stone slab in the northwest corner, and he didn't bother to move it, so he smashed it open with brute force.
Bang!
In the dust, the steps were exposed.
The two of them moved forward cautiously, but until they stepped on the floor, they didn't fall into the trap, not that they didn't have it, but they had already been destroyed.
The dungeon is the size of two basketball courts, and there are some rotten wooden shelves on the ground, which should have been placed before, but they have been taken away.
"It's all rusty!"
The woad fruit climbed on the side of a wooden box, and there were a lot of arrows piled up in it, but unfortunately there was a thick layer of patina, and it was no longer usable.
Except for the fact that it can't be used, the others don't know when they were taken away by the people who discovered this underground palace, and there is not even a single hair left.
"Hmph, not happy!"
Woad flattened her mouth and kicked on the box.
Crash!
The wooden box shattered, and the echo reverberate.
Xia Ye was calm, looked around, and when he was almost rested, he took off his blindfold and stared around.
Since the owner of the house can camouflage the second floor, then it is possible that there will be a third layer, and sure enough, a large ball of light appeared.
"North, thirty paces!"
Hearing Xia Ye's words, Woad immediately ran over, cleaned up the wooden shelves on the ground, and searched carefully: "There are no gaps!"
"Smash it open!"
After taking a closer look again, and making sure that there was still a ball of light ten meters to the right, Xia Ye walked over quickly, and the fruit was already holding a tactical axe and began to dig into the ground.
Bang! Bang!
Soon, the stone was chiseled through, revealing a touch of bronze.
"Wow!"
Woad exclaimed, and then dug harder.
The half-foot-thick stone was removed, revealing a bronze chest carved with a bird of prey.
Because it was wrapped in hides, tightly sealed, and not exposed to air, the bronze chest was almost undamaged.
"Whew!"
Natsuno whistled.
The box is very large, it is a cube with a side length of two meters, and it is also very heavy, about 500 stones, but for the woad fruit, it is not a problem at all.
As soon as the little hand grabbed it, the fruit pulled it up.
Bang!
The bronze chest fell to the ground, splattering some dust.
Crunch!
The fruit snapped open the buckle and opened a gap, and the milky white light immediately came into view.
"Wow!"
The fruit was screaming again, and the boxes were filled with smooth ivory, but I don't know how many years had passed, and there was no sign of yellowing, and it was still as white as milk.
The ivory has a mysterious tattoo on it, and when it comes into contact with the vitality, it will disappear as soon as it comes into contact, as if it were breathing, and begin to absorb the vitality.
The power of the little Lori is too great, Xia Ye hesitated, the words came to his mouth, but he swallowed back, forget it, don't ask her where she came from, wait for the little guy to say it himself later.
"This is the tusks of a cold winter elephant, right?"
There is a chilling sensation as the elephant fumbles for the tattoo on the ivory, a rare elephant that is said to live only in the ice and snow of the far north.
"Yes!"
Xia Ye picked up a piece of appreciation, the bones and teeth of the cold elephant in winter can be used as keels, especially ivory, which is the best keel material, and the buildings built with it will be stronger and the defense will be greatly increased.
The tribal architecture of the Genki era consists of three parts, one core, which determines the function of the building, the second part, the keel, as the name suggests, is the main frame of the building, and the third part, which is the empty building stone, which is used to fill and reinforce, and finally form the building.
The better the keel, the stronger the main body of the building, the stronger the ability to withstand the attack, you know, a building is riddled with holes, as long as the keel is not destroyed, it is not considered to be demolished, there is a chance to repair, once the keel is demolished, it is basically destroyed.
In order to destroy Xia Pozhao, he must have his own tribe and establish his own armed forces, so Xia Ye has studied this knowledge.
In fact, in the Genki Age, both men and women aspired to establish their own tribes and become a great chief.
The so-called chieftain is to own a private domain, to sit back and enjoy all its output, where he is the king, and his command is above all else!
"Rich!"
Xiao Xiangguo smiled.
"Yes!"
Xia Ye was also happy, don't look at the only box of ivory, but it can build the keel of at least three buildings, measured in knife coins? Sorry, such a rare thing can only be exchanged for hard currency such as grain, vitality stone, or bronze.
Although Xia Ye doesn't know the market, this box of ivory can definitely buy enough food for a 10,000-person tribe to eat for a year.
"Is the other one over here?"
Woad wields a small axe and is full of energy.
"Hmm!"
Although he didn't dig it up, Natsuno guessed what it was.
Sure enough, a bronze box of the same size, which was filled with neatly cut empty building stones.
The empty building stone is called stone, in Xia Ye's view, it is a kind of microorganism, similar to a polyp, after being stimulated by a secret method, these insects can absorb the substances full of vitality in the air and grow on their own, a fist-sized piece, it can grow into a one-ton hill in a few days, so it is generally used as a filling material for buildings.
"Ahh
Woad jumped on the box and raised her little hand.
"Haha!"
Natsuno understood and stretched out his right hand.
Syllable!
Crisp high-fives to celebrate the big harvest.
"These things are obviously kept for a comeback!"
Xia Ye pouted: "It's a pity that I didn't use it!"
This is the secret residence of the patriarch of the Fengjing tribe, and a large number of strategic materials are hidden.
The bronze weapons and vitality stones on them had long been snatched away, but those were all drizzle, and the total value was not even a third of the cold winter ivory.
Ivory and empty building stones are essential materials for building buildings, and no tribe wants to see a new tribe born nearby, because it means new enemies, so the control of these building materials is very strict.
If it weren't for the Blood Survival Trial, Xia Ye wouldn't have had a chance to build a tribe at all.
These strategic materials were hoarded by the Fengjing patriarch for hundreds of years, waiting for the tribe to break down and make a comeback, but it is a pity that the Zhao clan's strong soldiers wiped out the Fengjing tribe in a battle, slaughtering all their clansmen, and did not even have a chance to turn the tables.
So, it's all cheaper than Natsuno.
"You carry ivory!"
Xia Ye tried it, and compared to the cold winter ivory, the empty building stone of the same volume was much heavier, definitely more than a thousand stones.
"It's too light, I'll carry this!"
Woad grabbed the box where the empty stone was released, like grabbing a big pumpkin, and there was no pressure at all.
"By the way, I feel like a Saint Seiya!"
Xia Ye wanted to laugh, wearing a bear skin, and the little Lori was carrying a huge bronze box that was a few sizes bigger than her, how funny it was.
"What is Saint Seiya?"
Woad blinked her big beautiful eyes.
"In order to get the treasure of One Piece, the men who become Hokage can wear the holy clothes named after the constellations, which is very powerful. ”
Xia Ye casually talked nonsense, carried the bronze treasure chest on his back, and stepped on the stone steps.
"Treasure, too!"
Woad licked her tongue.
"Huh!"
After harvesting the treasure, Xia Ye was in a good mood, and was wondering whether to tease the fruit again, but just when he stepped out of the second layer of the underground palace entrance, a bronze long sword slashed down with a whistling.
"Stand back!"
Xia Ye's pupils shrank sharply, and when he shouted, he was too late to block, so he turned around sharply, used the bronze treasure chest he was carrying as a shield, and crashed out with all his strength.
The sneak attacker obviously didn't want to destroy the chest, so he could only collect his sword.
Bang!
Xia Ye threw away the treasure chest and pulled out the Nepalese scimitar: "Is that you?"
"Hello, see you again!"
Cao Ang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xia Ye, once again raising his evaluation of him.
When ordinary people encounter the kind of sneak attack just now, they must quickly retreat, so that they can take advantage of the terrain and condescend to continuously attack until they kill the enemy.
But Xia Ye didn't, he rushed out without hesitation, and used his psychology of not wanting to damage the treasure chest to stop his attack.
"How long have you been hiding?"
Natsuno asked.
"Guess?"
Cao Ang chuckled, this attitude is also a kind of coercion, but in his heart, he praises it, how many teenagers can have this kind of instantaneous judgment when they are suddenly attacked?
You know, you don't know the identity and strength of the enemy, so if you rush out so rashly, you are likely to be bombarded!
Cao Bing was killed by this kid wearing an eyepatch, and he didn't complain about his death.
"I'm fine, don't rush up!"
Natsuno commanded.
"I'm a good person!"
Cao Ang shrugged his shoulders and stepped back twenty meters to make way for the exit of the steps.
Xiang Guo immediately ran out, and the crossbow in his hand was already aimed at Cao Ang.
"Don't shoot, be careful to protect yourself!"
Seeing that Xiao Lori was about to pull the trigger, Xia Ye hurriedly stopped it, the arrow on the crossbow was too slow, and if it missed, it would be troublesome, so it was better to let the woad use it for self-protection, so in this battle, even if Cao Ang wanted to take her as a hostage, he had to weigh it.
"Hmm!"
Woad nodded.
"Is there any possibility of a peaceful solution?"
Xia Ye smiled bitterly: "Why don't you give you a treasure chest?"
"Stop acting, I'm not going to be fooled!"
Cao Ang scoffed.
Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "Also, you deliberately got out of the way, you wanted to observe her, monitor her, and avoid a helper suddenly coming up from below during the battle." ”
"Am I that good?"
Although it is a rhetorical question, Cao Ang thinks so, in the battle, try to avoid all uncertain factors.
