At the bottom of the Chiba crater, the pooled lava slowly formed a gushing current, driving the villa all the way to a mountain cave.

The cave became more and more wide, and the flow of lava gradually became unable to fill the cave, and eventually, it became a shallow lava river, and the villa was stranded at the bottom of the river.

I first checked the safety outside through the various windows, and then led the people out of the villa.

Everyone was on guard around the villa, and the people above began to hang back after sensing that the villa had stopped moving for half an hour according to the prior agreement, and the villa slowly returned in reverse along the lava river.

As the initiator of this copy trip, I have absolute command in addition to abiding by the terms of the benefit distribution in the agreement. The villa was successfully hoisted back, and I immediately ordered to camp on the spot, and then counted the time spent throughout the whole process, and set up a special record to grasp the round-trip time of the villa in detail.

I have always been meticulous in organizing my work, taking care of every detail as much as possible, but again, this is not the world of Xianxia, and I don't have the authority to donate thousands of lives in a word, so some work arrangements should be considered moderate, not too strict.

Under my organization, the 50 members of the first echelon have built simple but very effective rear fortifications, which integrate functions such as rest, support, and command, and can deal with emergencies in the exploration of the dungeon work to the greatest extent.

As soon as the rear stabilized, I sent a five-man sentry team to explore the surrounding environment.

From many aspects, it is known that the dungeon tasks in the Thousand Machines are not like the dungeons of those games in the basic world, those dungeons are as short as three or five minutes, and the large ones are only a few hours. The time required for the dungeon in the thousand machines is much longer, the least of them have to be a day and a half, the more advanced ones can be brushed through for more than ten days, and there are more complex super event dungeons, which need to be united by the major guilds, and it will take more than a month to scare.

So I have to be prepared to fight a protracted war, and if I fight in the dark with both eyes, I will definitely suffer a big loss.

Qian Million looked at my arrangement and admired: "I have also participated in dungeons with the Grand Guild before, and those best commanders and generals are not as skilled and meticulous as you. ”

I said a casual and modest sentence, and in my heart I was very unimpressed by what he said. Those people are just playing games, and even if they have some military experience in reality, they will inevitably be superficial when they enter the game, and they will not be able to devote themselves to it.

I'm different, everything I do not only has its own independent significance, but also serves to save the world in the general direction, and the mentality and starting point are not on the same level. And this kind of organizational arrangement is nothing to me, I am a person who has led the ten thousand gates of Kyushu in the Xianxia world, and I once stabilized the rout of the Xianxia cultivation realm in the Vermilion Bird Battle with my own strength, and finally slaughtered 100,000 mountain demons.

Heroes don't mention Yong back then, I don't like to talk to them about these things, well, it's fun to talk to you, hey~

We are in a simple cave, with only one path that gets wider and wider, and behind it is a rushing lava river. The Sentinels explored along the riverbank, surveying the environment and mapping along the way, and soon found the location of the fortress.

After receiving the report, I and the King of Qian Million Slaves each summoned their followers and went to the observation point under the guidance of the sentry.

The new observation point is located on the corner of a high ground, which has been separated from the karst cave through which the lava river passes, and is a vast world underground.

We are nearly a kilometer high from the ground, the original lava river has been divided into three strands with the terrain, from different positions in the form of a waterfall downward, the lava temperature is extremely high, the temperature of the underground world outside is extremely low, so there is a kilometer drop, the lava in the middle of the fall will cool into scorched rock, rolling into the abyss.

It's a pity that the strange scenery can't be as strange as the fortress in the distance.

The walls are as dark as night, the buildings are as tall as guns, the magnificent buildings are like the Optimus Pillars, and the soldiers on the wide streets are silent, like the ghosts entering and exiting the ghost gate.

The sentinels who returned were always in a state of high tension, and now that I saw this fortress with my own eyes, the two bigwigs and I were also stunned.

Judging from the shape of this fortress, it is clearly a copy of Chiba Castle.

No, it's wrong to say that, this fortress was opened fifteen years ago, and Chiba Castle was rebuilt after the end of the world, so this fortress is not a copy of Chiba Castle, it should be said that Chiba Castle is a copy of this fortress!

The scene was silent for a while, everyone can think of this, then they can all find a question: who imitated this underground fortress to rebuild Chiba Castle, what does that person have to do with the underground fortress, and what is the purpose?

Who dares to say that this has nothing to do with us? The place where we live is actually related to the hidden copy that has long been extinct, and it is even more potentially related to the system forces in it, and it is very likely that we have entered into some kind of conspiracy design, but we have just found out, but we don't know the truth yet!

I left the sentries to continue to observe, and the two bosses returned to the rear for discussion.

When I arrived at the big tent, I was the first to ask the question: "Who is the president of the Doufu Chamber of Commerce, and who is the lord of Chiba Castle?"

Qian Million and King Wannu are both people who are eyes and ears of the world, and they are always cautious in their actions, and they naturally know Chiba City very well.

Qian million said: "The original owner of Chiba City is a player in the northern game area, he invested in the creation of the Doufu Chamber of Commerce and Chiba City in the heyday, after the end of the world, Chiba City was destroyed once, and then rebuilt due to the needs of the overlords of all parties, in terms of operation, because the original investor has died, the operation of the Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the management committee established by the three major departments of the original Chamber of Commerce. As for the reconstruction of this Chiba Castle......"

King Wannu added: "The new Chiba City was invested and built by several of our eastern overlords, and the design plan was taken out by the Tang Empire. ”

A brief description of the two of them made me frown deeply, Chiba City, which is exactly the same as this underground fortress, was designed by the Tang Xinjiang Empire, and the Tang Xinjiang Empire is a puppet secretly supported by the Boss Biological Group, so the person who submitted the design of Chiba City must have something to do with this underground fortress copy.

I just don't know what they're doing this for, just for their feelings?

Qian Wan's identity is transcendent, and he is more familiar with all kinds of secrets than me, and he has also noticed the potential connections and anomalies in them.

Qian Million muttered: "I suggest that this operation be terminated, if the creatures in this dungeon have really been integrated into Chiba City, they must know our whereabouts, maybe they are waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net! ”

King Wannu nodded: "I agree, I don't want to take this risk because of a few humanoid slaves." ”

"What if it's to save your life?"

The words I suppressed in my throat made the two of them speechless, and quietly waited for me to continue to explain, because my words touched the most sensitive nerves in their hearts.

Fate, these bigwig overlords who dominate one side, they have endless wealth and prestige, but there is only one life for everyone, and they are especially unwilling to lose this one.

My mind was running at high speed, integrating what I had seen and heard recently, and each accidental event seemed to be related, and each fragment was gradually connecting and merging.

First of all, I explained to the two of you about the relationship between the BOSS Group and the virtual gods that I analyzed some time ago, and the information that the Tang Empire transmitted to the hidden virtual gods through the auction of nuclear weapons.

On this basis, I came to a new conclusion: "The reconstruction of Chiba Castle was provided by the Tang Empire, the puppet organization of the BOSS Group, and the shape is just the same as the shape of the underground fortress, which can confirm that some of them must have been here, and even belong to this copy fortress." Their purpose in doing this must have been to build a fortress in the upper world in advance to serve as a backup base. ”

"Considering the timeline of the volcano's recovery and the whereabouts of that person, I can basically confirm that in the near future, it is more likely that at this moment, that person and the forces behind her are ready for the resurrection of the virtual gods, and they themselves are ready to renew the disaster. ”

I looked at the stunned two and concluded: "That person is the representative of the Boss Group, the commander of the Tang Empire, the messenger responsible for awakening the gods, and possibly the boss of this fortress, the Great Demon King of Xichun. ”

All the points can be explained, all the clues can be connected, and the only thing that is missing in this main story is the purpose of the boss group and the virtual gods.

Qian Million and Wannu King know a lot about the major events in the history of Qianji, and many details are clearer than mine, but they have never been put together from an extraordinary perspective like me.

Now listening to me, the two of them immediately realized what the problem was, and knew that I was not alarmist, and if they didn't take countermeasures, not only them, but the entire Thousand Machine World might once again face the threat of being destroyed by the virtual gods.

Qian Million groaned: "No wonder the madman, the predecessor of the Tang Empire, has been advocating breaking the virtual cage through various methods, and it turns out that he is acting according to the purpose of the virtual gods to destroy the world." ”

The King of Wannu looked very solemn, it was a solemnity that hid a trace of panic: "In this case, we should leave here first, and then tell the world of thousands of machines what we have discovered, and gather the strength of all human players to resist this crisis together." ”

Qian Million frowned and pondered, noncommittal, and I decisively vetoed his proposal: "Impossible, the virtual god crisis back then was won by relying on some elite players and nuclear weapons, if it is convened again, time cannot be allowed, once the virtual god recovers as desired, the only nuclear weapon in my hand can not play a big role." ”

"So if we want to survive, if we want to break this crisis, we have to grasp this critical period and break their plans at the root. ”

"Swiping through this dungeon, destroying their messengers, and killing the Great Demon King of Xichun is the key to breaking this crisis!"
