Chapter 173: Ancient God Relief
Du Xiaozi quickly summoned a team of men and horses, and carried torches down step by step, deep into the huge underground world.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the underground tomb has countless large and small spaces and forks, like a huge labyrinth. Even Du Xiaozi and others, who specialize in tomb robbing, also arranged a large number of people to explore for more than half a month, and then they groped their way out and knew that the entire underground world was divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower.
The second floor is very hidden, there are only a few secret passages in and out, and there are very few tomb robbers and explorers who have been to the second floor for thousands of years, and most of them stop at the first floor. The third layer is even more secretive, and there is basically no ready-made passage to enter, and only by chance can you enter a small part of the third layer of the world.
Du Xiaozi walked in the front and took Hong Yuan to the underground dark river he said first.
This underground river is on the second floor of the dungeon, and it was accidentally discovered by Du Xiaozi and his party when they were cleaning an underground palace, and the entrance to the dark river is behind a wall. Hong Yuan went in and took a look, the river flow is very large, the river water is unfathomable, and a large sea boat can drive in after combing the river in the future.
"My lord, build a dock, and merchant ships can sail in directly from the sea, leading to the various ports of the alliance, and even all the way north to the Hualong Empire. I think that we can form a caravan and sell the specialties of Shattered Leaf City and the Endless Abyss by sea, and the profits must be very considerable. At that time, there will be no need to rely on Lishui Niang and them, the dungeon branch altar can fully support itself, and then use the silver taels earned to further develop the underground world. With the scale of an underground city, it is no problem to develop into a large town to feed hundreds of thousands of people!" Du Xiaozi wasted no time in proposing, seeing the prospect and potential of the underground city.
"Okay, you can arrange it yourself, if there is any problem that can't be solved, come to me!" Hong Yuan instructed, encouraging Du Shorty to be bolder.
"Thank you, sir!"
Du Xiaozi and many entourages became excited, with the dungeon caravan, everyone's pockets would quickly bulge, "My lord, the brothers are also going to take their families over, you see ......"
"No problem, but one thing to note is that you can't expose it until the dungeon has absolute self-preservation. "Of course Hong Yuan will not object, the more people in the dungeon, the better, it is difficult to rely on the Panlong Gang for long-term development.
"Understand, the subordinates will block the desert between Broken Leaf City and Lishui Town, and will not leak any news. The Ancient Teleportation Array is here, my lord, please follow me. ”
Du Xiaozixing hurriedly walked in front to lead the way, under his leadership, Hong Yuan continued down an underground passage, and soon, he arrived at a huge underground square, at least five or six hundred meters from the ground, which already belonged to the third underground layer, and it was only a small part of the third underground floor, and more space was too late to explore.
In the middle of the square, there is a huge ancient teleportation array, and there are nine huge stone sculptures standing around, some of them have the body of a snake head, and some have the body of a horse, with different appearances but hideous faces, giving people a feeling of being vicious and vicious. In the air, there was a heavy invisible coercion, and there was an ancient vast atmosphere, *, solemn, Du Xiaozi, who was walking in front, was obviously dignified, and his breathing was cautious, as if he was afraid of waking up these stone sculptures.
"My lord, if you guessed correctly, these are the ancient god reliefs and the guards of the ancient teleportation array. ”
Du Xiaozi whispered and slowed down, "After identification, these stone carvings are at least 100,000 years old, and the sharpest swords cannot be damaged in the slightest, and no one knows what kind of stone these stone carvings are made of." ”
Du Xiaozi was a little nervous, for fear that these stone carvings would wake up in the next moment.
Among the brothers who cleaned up the dungeon together, there were many professional connoisseurs who recognized these as the legendary stone carvings of ancient gods. It is precisely because of this that this in turn verifies that this is an ancient teleportation array. Legend has it that these reliefs of the Old Gods were all terrifying guards, and after a long period of time, the reliefs of the Old Gods looked dusty, mutilated and dead, but no one knew for sure if they would suddenly wake up.
Hong Yuan didn't speak, he held the torch and looked carefully, these cold ancient god reliefs, even he was a little frightened when he saw them, and faintly sensed a dangerous aura. The nine stone sculptures looked at it with a more dangerous aura, and it seemed that these guards could wake up at any time. Only Du Xiaozi was the only one who accompanied Hong Yuan all the way down, and the others stood far away at the entrance and didn't dare to come.
"Du Xiaozi, how did you discover this place?" asked Hong Yuan, breaking the silence.
Looking around at this underground square carefully, he quickly remembered a place, the underground palace where the Scorpion God of War was sealed. Like the underground square, the dungeon is also deep underground, which is just as dangerous.
"When cleaning a fork in the road, a brother fell off the air without saying anything, and this was discovered by accident. ”
Du Xiaozi still has some palpitations in retrospect, the third underground layer is still a mysterious and dangerous place, there is no way to go at all, it was all discovered by chance and accident. It is estimated that the entire third underground layer will need at least 100 times more manpower and material resources to be completely excavated and cleared.
"Then can this teleportation array still be activated?" Hong Yuan asked again.
"No, it's been abandoned for too long, and a lot of places have been damaged. ”
Du Shorty shook his head and said, "It's very difficult to completely repair it, but it's still possible to simply repair it for short-distance teleportation, such as teleporting to Shattered Leaf City or Night Dragon City, provided that the required materials are prepared. ”
"What materials do you want?"
Hong Yuan asked, in the short term, it would be enough to be able to teleport to Night Dragon City and Broken Leaf City, which meant that the Night Dragon City Branch Altar, the Broken Leaf City Branch Altar and the Dungeon City Branch Altar would be connected into one, and their value was immeasurable.
"It takes a thousand years of keel, hematite, obsidian and many other materials, and some things can't be bought with money, so it's not easy to get them together in a short time. The best way is to find another teleportation array and move it back and replace it. All the way south from Lishui Town, there is a swamp called the Black Python Swamp, where an ancient indigenous tribe, the Black Python Tribe, lives. It is said that there is a deserted teleportation array in the race holy land of the black python clan. "Du Shorty is well-informed, and he has long figured out the situation around the dungeon.
"How many people are in the Black Python Clan, and are there any masters?" Hong Yuan asked.
Du Xiaozi understood what Hong Yuan meant, and said: "There are not many people, only about two or three thousand, the people are fierce and have a unique racial talent, and after anger, they can turn into python warriors and multiply their combat effectiveness." The terrain there is very treacherous, and there is a highly poisonous miasma, and a big master may not be able to go back. ”
"Can you become a python warrior......?
Hong Yuan muttered, originally, he was going to go to the dungeon to see and leave, and enter the endless abyss to experience. Hearing Du Xiaozi say this, he gradually had a bold plan in his heart. Entering the endless abyss is for training, and going to the Black Python Swamp is also an experience.
