Chapter 43: Treasure in the Volcano
Although the distance and the dark red light were uncomfortable, faintly some huge figures could be seen around the Lake of Flames—what appeared to be a four-legged canine-like beast, covered in glittering scales and large swaths of heavy armor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And so the underground reconnaissance ended - these unknown creatures seemed to be the size of horses, wearing armor, and living around the lake of fire, which was equivalent to cold and hot weapons...... There is no solution at all!
The kobold cautiously returned the way he came, and began to look for an upward path, and only after leaving a long distance did everyone dare to talk in a whisper.
"Captain, what are we looking for?"
"O brimstone, the king is looking for it freely!"
"Captain Wang, I've always felt that something is drilling a hole under my feet!"
After all, kobolds are born miners, and everyone immediately quieted down, put their heads on the ground, and listened attentively. It didn't take long for everyone to notice that there seemed to be a tunnel under their feet, and a creature was approaching the tunnel...... With years of experience in drilling holes, this thing must be very big!
Tedamir roared: "All, run for your life!"
Thirty-seven dog heads immediately fled in a panic as if they were dragons...... After only ten seconds, the rock wall where they had stayed before collapsed with a bang, and a wasp-like head came out of the rubble!
This strange creature has a bug-like head and a trunk like a worm with heavy armor, but it is more than sixty centimeters in diameter, no less than the largest python on earth.
Fortunately, it was a step slower, and it could only face the kobold's distant ass, otherwise it would have been a tragedy.
And in the distance, the nameless river in the valley, a huge improved blessing boat, is flowing downstream. Liu Jingtian squatted on the mast, cranky, nervous, all kinds of insecurity, the kind of eagerness to try that had just set sail was long gone.
Perhaps, otaku who go out to run errands are like this, right? But if he is said to be cowardly, he will not admit it!
"The old man is also the CEO of a large enterprise with tens of thousands of people (kobolds), how many employees are responsible for the safety and meal tickets of the workers? The gentleman does not stand under the wall, but this is responsible for the majority of kobolds...... What if Tydamir's grandsons drifted all the way overseas...... It's too dangerous to go to sea! With the urine nature of this world, it is estimated that any megalodon, Canglong, bottom breath demon fish, and Leviathan may all line up to come out and brush their faces! It's terrifying...... Tydamir, I'm going to break your dog's legs!"
However, after only 20 hours of sailing, Liu Jingtian saw the traces left by Tydamir -- a thick cloud of wolf smoke! Finally, everyone found a large pool of timber by the river, which was naturally a relic of the wheel, and a lot of wet wood was lit on the side, from which the wolf smoke came from.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Next, it's time to drop anchor and land.
Although Liu Jingtian had an extra space stomach on his own, because the 'opening' was too small and there was no dimensional cave, it took a lot of time to unload the materials for this landing, and by the time everyone pushed a few cannons onto the land, it was already the second day.
At this time, everyone saw that in the distance, a large cloud of smoke and dust was raised. Liu Jingtian immediately flew up to investigate, only to see that a group of kobolds were running for their lives, and behind them, several huge monsters were rumbling after them.
Liu Jingtian was speechless: "I'm not mistaken, right? When did the Crypt Lord of the Warcraft come here?"
Those giant beasts are as large as rhinoceros, but their body structure is very similar to that of insects. It has four legs and two claws, and is covered with a large piece of heavy armor like a shield, and the two claws held in front of him are very thick, like a combination of a scythe and an axe.
Naturally, the people who fled for their lives were the death expert Tydamir and others, all of whom carried huge egg sacs on their backs, drilling around in the complex stone piles, relying on familiar routes and smaller sizes, so that the 'Crypt Lord' behind them was helpless.
At this time, of course, you have to pull the brothers. With the help of artillery and the command of Liu Jingtian in the sky, the encounter immediately turned into an ambush, and soon, the kobold took out these rhinoceros-like giant beasts and joined forces in victory.
A group of jubilant Tydamir people surrounded Liu Jingtian and told them what had happened these days.
Originally, Liu Jingtian was quite worried about the safety of these people who fell into the water, but now when he observes, it seems that he is thinking too much about himself: these guys are oily and slippery, and even their small belly has grown.
The Taidamir Death Squad, these days have been very fulfilling, and the things they have experienced are much richer than the compatriots who squatted out of mushrooms underground. As they boast about their achievements, they begin to offer treasures: the meat of various monsters, some strange eggs, and most importantly, one thing: pepper bugs!
We finally have condiments! Of course, salt doesn't count.
Liu Jingtian happily tasted a mouthful of chili pepper worms, and then the cow was full of faces: This is not chili peppers, bastards, this taste is simply thirteen spices stirred with white vinegar, and then sprinkled with a large handful of mustard!
But after thinking about it, although I don't dare to eat this thing, it may not be possible to make tear gas if it is farmed...... Well, chemical weapons to start.
The Death Squad has contributed a lot, not only knowing about this strange hill and the sulfur ore that has been discovered, but also figuring out what strange species are distributed in it. Finally, I also learned how to replenish food nearby.
Liu Jingtian, who picked up a bunch of cheap ones, thinks that Tedamir is a good comrade!
He'd completely forgotten how he had sworn to break someone's leg in the first place.
Sulfur is so important to kobolds!
Although the iron is being worn, the scrapped weapons can be recycled, and the occasional meteorite that can be touched is not consumed. Saltpeter has been mass-produced in nitrate, and wood charcoal is not a problem, only sulfur stuck everyone's neck.
Now, at last, there is no light at the end of the tunnel!
Liu Jingtian immediately ordered: The next task is to immediately transfer as many troops on the ship as possible and make every effort to develop the volcano!
As a result, more than 1,000 kobolds were busy near the 'volcano' at the mouth of the river.
On the other side, with Liu Jingtian's departure, the dungeon was quiet for a while, and then the atmosphere began to be weird - everyone was excitedly connected: "The little master is leaving temporarily, who is the head of us?"
Actually, they all think too much.
In the end, it was the 'Eunuch of the Celebrant Palm Seal' Zhilong who jumped out with a smile: "Kuku Kuku~ When the king left, Wang, I explained a few words to our family Wang, you all come over and receive your orders~"
