Chapter 232 Dungeon Ignition

Humanity +401
Flower of Humanity +1
The golden text flashed before his eyes, making Rhodes happy and making up for his regret that the monster didn't even leave ashes behind.

In the process of searching the big pit, he couldn't find any monster ashes, they all seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Alas, this approach still has flaws.

Rhodes thought slightly dissatisfied.

It's obviously me who caused the void, so why isn't it me who killed it?
It's fine if you can't absorb the soul, but at least some ashes should be kept, right?

The void is too much to eat.

Well, it must be that the [Darkness Devourer] is not strong enough, and its quantification is still in progress. When it is completed, I will be able to snatch my meat back from the mouth of the void.

hum.

At that time, I will go everywhere to blow myself up. Is it still a problem to occupy Fanxing Town?Is it still difficult to realize the torch plan?

Hahaha.

The only trouble is, crafting the Resurrection Stone requires divinity.

And his current divinity is only 22 points left, and he can only make two resurrection stones.

Moreover, there is also the firewood of the soul that also requires divinity.

Before gaining more divinity, this method can only be used as his last hole card and cannot be abused.

While thinking, Rhodes and the others quickly completed the preliminary inspection of the giant pit.

The actual area of ​​the entire underground city is very large, with tens of thousands of large and small rooms, and the layout is excellent. The accommodation area, functional area, storage area, and drainage and ventilation pipes are complete.

And on the side of the dungeon that was closer to the ground, the psionic-reinforced walls were more than fifty yards thick.

Obviously, it is almost impossible for ordinary monsters to attack the big pit from the inside of the land.

And psionic reinforcement needs to consume a huge amount of psionic and spiritual resources.

It is conceivable that the construction of such a huge dungeon took a lot of manpower and material resources of the Starry Kingdom.

However, it still perishes.

In this ruins, Rhodes and the others found a large amount of decaying materials, many weapons that had long been disabled, ores that had lost their spirituality over the long years, and countless dregs that remained after being swallowed by monsters.

From these relics of the previous generation of humans, Rhodes felt a kind of desolation and the vicissitudes of time. Time has washed away all glory and pride. All struggles, struggles, efforts, failures and despairs, in the end, only this is left. A pile of rotting matter whose shape is no longer visible.

But most people don't feel this desolation.

They work in full swing to clean up trash, clean up pollution and corrosion.

Since the entire dungeon is so large, they were only able to clear a small area.

And at the bottom of the big pit is a huge sacrificial field.

In the center of the sacrificial field is a semicircular pit.

Obviously, this starry kingdom is used to light the location of the guardian fire.

The Horcrux carrying the guardian fire has long disappeared, leaving only a bare stone pit, and where the fire seed has gone.

Molly decisively ordered the fire guardian to take root of the fire protection here and build a new fire protection sacrificial site.

The Firekeeper is an old man. Although his psychic power has declined, his rich experience is still sufficient for him to be qualified for this job.

He took out the lamp with the guardian fire, embedded the prepared Horcrux in the stone pit, then piled up the ashes of the fire, laid the firewood on it, carefully took out the flames in the lamp, and gently Gently place in the center of the horcrux.

The Firekeeper infuses the fire with his own spirituality, heaping phlogiston around the flames.

Following his strange ritual movements, the flames quickly became blazing, and the blazing flames spewed out, emitting a golden light, just like the sun was born, illuminating the entire underground pit and the buildings in the walls.

The black mist was dispelled, the darkness was evaporated, and this dungeon that had sunk for more than 1000 years ushered in light once again.

Everyone gathered around the fire, following the movements of the fire guardian and praying in a low voice:

"May the fire last forever, may the heroes be immortal, may the spirit continue, and may the human race be immortal."

A deep voice echoed in this extremely empty space.

Rhodes looked up, and it was like a giant well filled with golden light.

The sky beyond the wellhead was thickly dark.

Just like a frog sitting in a well watching the sky, human beings hide in such a safe space to survive. If someone climbs out of the well, they will see that this small sky is just a microcosm of a greater darkness.

Such a sinister external environment really makes people want to stay in a room full of warm firelight
Rhodes suddenly understood those conservatives.

They weren't all bad guys, they were just scared out of their wits by the boundless darkness.

After the fire ceremony was completed, everyone had an inexplicable feeling, as if this place had become their home.

A warm current spread from the bottom of their hearts to their limbs, dispelling the coldness of darkness.

Vice-captain Konder sighed: "No matter how many times I see it, I'm still the same as when I saw it for the first time."

O'Hara, a burly man, was crying.

"Woooooo, the fire is so warm, why is the world dark?"

The fire guardian walked over with a hunched body, coughed and said, "Master Commander, after the fire of protection falls to the ground, its strength will stabilize and it will not be easily lost. As long as you pay attention to adding phlogiston, it will be difficult to extinguish it."

Rhodes remembered what the king had told him before, and asked curiously: "Is the ritual of the fire falling to the ground rooted into the sea of ​​origin?"

The fire guardian raised his turbid eyes and glanced at Rhodes, coughing:
"Commander, you are much more knowledgeable than you look on the outside. Young people nowadays feel that knowledge is useless. They only know how to fight and kill. Half of the young people have never heard of the name Yuan Zhihai."

Konder smiled and said, "Isn't that right? But our Nova is different."

"Yes, he knows a lot about gestures."

Rhodes ignored them and continued to ask: "Will the source not be lost when the Guardian Fire moves?"

The fire guardian looked up at the tall golden flame, and still poured his spirituality into the fire.

"You're right. If the guardian fire doesn't take root in the sea of ​​roots, its source will continue to be lost, and eventually dissipate completely. The sleeping fire must be stored in a special container."

Rhodes asked again: "Is the source of the guardian fire also time, space, and the active field?"

The fireman gave him a warning look.

"You know too much. The source of the guardian fire is a broken and low law. They must undergo the transformation of the source before they can enter the realm of the three original pillars. The holy fire is not simply a super powerful guardian fire."

Rhodes instantly understood the meaning of the Fire Keeper's words.

Apparently, he was also a member of the Holy Fire Project.

He is telling him that the holy fire cannot make up for the lack of source structure by devouring the fire of the guardian fire.

Other than Molly, they couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

O'Hara scratched his short hair, and asked suspiciously: "What is Yuan? Is it delicious?"

Konder poked his butt from behind: "Shut up, idiot!"

O'Hara slapped his hand away: "What do you want to poke? I don't know if your characteristic is to burst? What if your ass is poked open?"

"Bah! Can I poke your pure steel body?"

The fireman ignored the noisy two and squeezed out a wrinkled smile.

"Commander, if you have doubts, you can ask Miss Molly, she is the hardest-working girl among us."

Molly said calmly without any special expression on her delicate face.

"Mr. Almar, please adjust the direction and area of ​​the firelight as soon as possible. The underground part is only [-] yards away. The radius of the aboveground part should exceed [-] yards, and the height should exceed [-] yards. Try to cover the entire dungeon. .”

"But don't exceed too much to avoid attracting monsters. This stronghold is a bit special, please operate it carefully."

The Fire Keeper jaws: "I understand."

"The phlogiston must be reserved for at least ten days, and the firewood for the stable structure must have at least one backup. If any item is in an emergency, please let me know immediately."

"Yes, Miss Molly."

"O'Hara, Konder, move the carriages into the dungeon, block other entrances, minimize our breath, and avoid unnecessary battles."

The two who were still arguing about whether their butts would be punctured immediately stood at attention at the same time, and replied, "Yes, Mr. Deputy Commander."

"Also, clear out our stronghold area as soon as possible. It must be completed before evening. Today is the night of the dark moon, and there may be trouble."

"Yes!"

The two agreed, and immediately led the soldiers to run out of the giant pit.

Everyone is busy again.

The two support staff are constantly purifying the pollution in the room, while the soldiers are quickly cleaning up the accumulated decay.

The carriage has also been moved down, and there are many large rooms in the dungeon.

The spirit horse returned to a deep sleep state and turned into a small ball, all of which were kept by Molly.

The luggage in the carriage was moved out and laid out in the cleaned and purified room.

With the efforts of everyone, the work was finally completed before the evening, and a base where they could settle was preliminarily established.

Rhodes looked down at this vast space filled with golden light from the hole in the upper wall of the giant pit, and could hardly believe that this was the stronghold they established on the first day.

And behind him, the cleared accommodation area was clean and bright, and the ground covered with spirit grass juice and dragon spirit flower essential oil exuded a faint fragrance.

The golden light echoed in the air, and no shadow could be seen.

The fire light of the guardian fire is not ordinary light, it is the power of fire projected in the space, and it will not be blocked by ordinary matter.

Therefore, even if there is no light in the room, it will be very bright.

The two logistics staff have laid out beds and simple furniture for them.

Except that there is no water source for the time being, this place can already be called a human settlement.

Intense joy filled everyone's heart, and the confidence of success reverberated in the chest like never before.

Many fighters are gearing up, eager to try, and even request to start fighting now.

But was overruled by Molly.

"Fighting at night is very dangerous, unnecessary situations should be avoided as much as possible, and today is the night of the dark moon, the power of darkness will become stronger, there is no need for us to waste our power."

What she said was very correct, and everyone knew it, but they couldn't hold back the passion in their hearts.

So, after arranging the on-duty mission, Molly sent everyone away, asking them to go back to rest immediately, adjust their state as soon as possible, and start fighting tomorrow.

The warriors returned to the room with excitement, waiting for the moment to fight for humanity.

night.

After eating a box of canned mussels for a simple dinner, when Rhodes was about to tidy up his dreams, Molly pushed the door and walked in.

"Commander, I have a few things to report to you."
