The tunnel is located in the north of the dragon city in the mountains, the whole tunnel runs through the whole mountain, and a railway track is laid inside to connect the dragon city with the outside, shortening the distance in and out of the dragon city.

Over the years, this tunnel can be said to have connected the inside and outside of Dragon City, bringing a large number of foreign items to Dragon City.

At the same time, some of the specialties of Dragon City are transported to the outside through steam trains, which is considered to be the main route for trading inside and outside Dragon City.

Although the sea south of Dragon City has become impossible to fish over the years, there are still many specialties in Dragon City that are not found elsewhere.

In addition, there are several minerals in the vicinity of Dragon City, as well as smelting and processing plants.

Therefore, this tunnel connecting Dragon City and the outside world can be said to be a very critical lifeblood of Dragon City.

For Dragon City, if this external lifeline is cut off, then Dragon City will really become a lonely place.

Once the Empire's Restoration Fleet arrives, I'm afraid that without reinforcements, Dragon City won't be able to resist for long.

Suluru and the others entered the tunnel, and the soldiers of the Machine City immediately took out the miner's lamps they had prepared in advance.

The miner's lamp was lit up, and the entire tunnel was illuminated in an instant, but the military and police didn't expect that the mechanical city actually prepared these things.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the military police, Sululu smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, they used these mechanical miner's lamps almost every day before. ”

The military and police did not know that in the past, the mechanical city was used as a prison, and every day at sunset it would be put into the tunnels of the abyss.

In that tunnel, it can be said that it is dark, and if there is no mechanical miner's lamp, the mechanical city will be dark.

It was an absolute darkness, and the erosion of the gods from the abyss.

Therefore, the use of mechanical lights to ensure the lighting in the city has become the greatest comfort for the creatures in the mechanical city.

Therefore, for every resident of the mechanical city, it has become their habit to carry mechanical lights with them.

At that time, I lived in the darkness for a long time, and I developed a special sensitivity to the darkness, which led to a habit.

With the tunnel fully illuminated, Suluru took a closer look around the tunnel.

After a long time, Sululu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the person who built this tunnel at the beginning was also a master, and it was really not easy to build such a complete tunnel, I am afraid that some people paid a huge price in order to build this tunnel back then." ”

At this time, Thor, a barbarian in the military police, said: "My lord, I have heard my fathers mention it. ”

The words of the big man Thor immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone quieted down and waited for the big man Thor's statement.

After thinking about it carefully, the big man Thor organized the language and began to tell everyone what he knew.

It turned out that this tunnel actually existed before the construction of the railroad tracks.

According to some early residents of Dragon City, this passage was originally excavated by a fierce beast living in seclusion in the mountains.

It seems that before the empire unified the eastern and western continents, that beast was once the protector of Dragon City.

It was worshiped by the people of Dragon City, and the beast seemed to have gained some kind of power after being worshipped.

It can protect the peace of the people of Dragon City, and at the same time, it will also make the entire Dragon City and the surrounding mountains and forests in the southern part of the mountain range weather and rain in peace.

This story sounds like a legend of an ancestor and more like a myth.

But later, after the empire unified the two continents of the east and west, it really found the trace of the beast.

In order to find out the traces of the beast, the empire also sent a knight order to search in the mountains.

However, in the end, the beast could not be found.

Speaking of this, the big man Thor paused for a moment, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "I heard that before the Imperial Knights planned to leave, they tried one last method, and finally succeeded in luring out the beast that was equivalent to the protector god of Dragon City, but the knights failed to defeat the beast, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and the beast also seemed to be frightened and disappeared without a trace. ”

The big man Thor pointed to the tunnel in front of him and said, "For a long time, such a story has been regarded as a legend. ”

"It wasn't until later that the Republic's engineering team arrived to build a tunnel through the mountain, and discovered the passage, that it was not a legend. ”

Hearing this, the dwarven child of the Machine City asked with some curiosity: "At the beginning, what method did the Imperial Knights use?"

The big man Thor hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "It is said that the Imperial Knights gathered the people of Dragon City to slaughter Dragon City. ”

"Using the lives of those people to force the beast to show its face, legend has it that it succeeded, angering the beast. ”

Hearing this, Sululu shook his head and sighed, "That beast, since he has blessed Dragon City for so long, it can be seen that he also has a heart. ”

"The Imperial Knights' approach is undoubtedly a blasphemy against that beast, and it is normal to be slaughtered by the beast. ”

"Hee-hee-hee" Just as Sululu's words fell, suddenly a strange laugh sounded in the tunnel.

The next moment, Sululu once again smelled a strong witch breath.

This time, the witch's aura quickly permeated, and almost in the blink of an eye, it had filled the entire tunnel.

Suluru's expression instantly became solemn, as he could feel as if they were surrounded by something.

Pulling out the gun under his ribs again, Sululu said with a solemn expression: "Everyone prepare, the enemy is coming." ”

In an instant, the surrounding military police and mechanical city soldiers were all waiting solemnly, raising their weapons and waiting for the enemy to appear.

"Meow ......" A sudden cat meow echoed throughout the tunnel.

The dwarven child exclaimed, "Look, there, there, it's a black cat." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on a black cat climbing on the top of the tunnel and slowly approaching.

The military officers immediately raised their steam rifles and wanted to shoot the cat.

But he was stopped by Sululu: "No, don't shoot, this cat shouldn't be our enemy." ”

As soon as Sululu's words fell, a strong witch aura suddenly came to his face, and he immediately looked at the front of the tunnel and said, "In front, in front." ”

Hearing this, everyone raised their heads and looked over, and saw that in the depths of the dark tunnel, a bunch of scarlet dots gradually appeared.

As the scarlet dot gradually approached, everyone finally saw clearly that the scarlet dot was actually the eye of the demonic beast.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be stunned, Sululu directly ordered: "Shoot, shoot quickly." ”

The military police did not hesitate at all, and the moment they heard the order, they reflexively pulled the trigger.

In an instant, the sound of gunshots echoed throughout the tunnel.

After a burst of shooting, Sululu unexpectedly discovered that the group of demonic beasts did not continue to approach.

It's just keeping a distance from Sululu and them, and it looks like they're guarding something, and they don't want Suluru to continue to move forward.

"Meow" When everyone was puzzled, suddenly the cat that climbed on the top of the tunnel jumped on Sululu's shoulder.

Seeing the cat jumping down, the group of demonic beasts in front of the tunnel suddenly became commotion, and it seemed that they had the intention of attacking forward. (To be continued.) )
