Chapter 293 The last underground space

Chapter 293 The Last Underground Space

The base moved quickly, the original base was temporarily closed, and mining will be started again when there are more farmers in the future, and now everything is moved to that big vault first.

It took almost a month to build a small castle and city walls in this dome, plan a large area for planting, use spells to change the terrain, and divert part of the water column flowing down from the dome to the dug out one. The large pond is used as domestic water and irrigation water for the castle.

After everything was planned, exactly one month later, he opened the portal again, and the door appeared directly in the castle.

This portal is not opened at the same place every time, but the location specified by him, and except for the first time, it will cost [-] gold each time it is opened.

This time I brought nothing from the main plane, mainly some agricultural tools or tools. By the way, I reopened a blacksmith shop and other workshops underground for the base of this plane.

Lin Chen will not open the permanent portal for the time being, mainly because he has no money. This light gate itself costs [-] gold coins, and after that, it needs a maintenance fee of one unit of energy per day, which cannot be consumed in the early stage.

Of course, this can be replaced by a magician for energy maintenance, but the problem is that he doesn't have a legal subordinate now, so he can't guard the gate every day by himself.

The second time the portal was closed, the base started to get on track, and Lin Chen led a group of men to explore other places in the underground plane.

This time they went into battle lightly, with only ten light infantrymen and five sharpshooters, and not a single heavy infantryman. These iron cans were too heavy, and drilling in this kind of terrain was too laborious and too slow.

Remembering the direction in which the rat people fled last time, I randomly picked a cave and went in. The passage began to go up. I didn't know how far I turned left and right, and came to a small cave about the same size as the first one, but There was nothing inside, and no rat-men were seen. Instead, there were several small skeletons on the ground with a bone on their tails. They looked like dead rat-men. One of them was lying at the entrance of a branch cave. Lin Chen immediately Drilled in along this side.

After turning again for almost half an hour, it suddenly became clear again in front of his eyes. An underground space that was half smaller than the underground dome where the base was located appeared. The place where he came out was exactly ten meters above the ground, and a downhill slope continued to the bottom.

Lin Chen stood at the entrance of the cave and looked ahead. Two groups of underground races of similar size were fighting each other in half of the burrow. Kobold Tribe.

But now this kobold tribe is at a disadvantage when facing the rat-men. Firstly, they cannot match the numbers. Secondly, there are still a few warlocks among the rat-men. Although they are far inferior to the rat-men, they can do magic after all. In this The effect is very obvious in very low-level combat.

However, the kobold tribe is not completely defenseless. The leader of the kobold tribe is a very strong kobold with tall muscles like Mr. Jianmei. The 1.8-meter-high figure is completely giant among the kobolds. Lin Chen felt a faint breath of a dragon in him. This kobold leader may have awakened a trace of dragon blood to be so strong, but the lack of blood is not enough to become a dragon warlock. He is in a very embarrassing state at this time.

After pinching his chin with his hands and watching for a while, Lin Chen asked his men to lie down and hide at the entrance of the cave to watch the play, and let them fight first.

This kobold leader is very brave and powerful. The weapon is a femur bone of an unknown beast. As soon as the stick is thrown down, a rat man will be headshot and killed. His legs are broken, and his hands are broken. No one can stop him.

In terms of overall strength, the Ratman had an absolute advantage, but with its bravery, it blocked the Ratman's tide-like attack.

However, this state didn't last long. After all, the numbers were too different. Ordinary kobolds couldn't stop the siege of more than twice the ratmen, and they were gradually being defeated. Even the powerful kobold leader was slowly surrounded by the ratmen. It will be a matter of time before they are besieged like this.

Seeing this, Lin Chen stood up. When he appeared, the Rat Man immediately noticed him and made a strange noise. The whole battlefield fell silent in an instant. When he saw the flames burning in his pupils and the terrifying Frightened by Long Wei, the Ratman seemed to recall the tragedy a month ago, and his morale plummeted immediately.

He jumped into the air with a sudden leap, and with his hands together, a ball of flames quickly condensed into a rolling fireball. The fiery power could be felt from far away, and it fell like a meteor with a wave of his hand.

"boom!"

A group of mushroom-like flames rose up, and a circle of flames exploded among the Ratmen, instantly engulfing the surrounding Ratmen.

The irresistible spell caused the morale of the rat people to drop to negative instantly, and the rising flames were like a signal, and the remaining rat people turned around and ran away with their heads in their hands.

But this time Lin Chen didn't want to let them go, so he flew to the sky above the fleeing rat crowd, opened his mouth and took a sharp breath, his mouth swallowed the surrounding air like a black hole, even the void seemed to be distorting, he took a deep breath As soon as he spit out, the flames in the depths of his mouth suddenly lit up, and an extremely hot flame dragon's breath spurted out of his mouth and smashed into the crowd of rats.

Unlike the previous time when the rat man was killed, the flames and dragon breath were concentrated. This time, a cone-shaped flame spewed down. When it landed on the ground, it had spread to a diameter of more than ten meters, like a huge brush sweeping across a horizontal line. A sea of ​​flames ten meters wide and four to fifty meters long was formed on the ground, and the ant-like Ratmen on the ground softened into ashes after persisting in the flames for less than two seconds.

A flaming dragon's breath swept back and forth in an S shape twice. Two-thirds of the six to seven hundred rat men died, and the remaining ones were paralyzed on the ground and unable to move, and some were scurrying around like headless flies.

With just a wave of dragon's breath, this group of ratmen was basically wiped out by him, and the rest could hardly survive without a habitat in this underground world.

Lin Chen left the remaining ones alone, losing their numerical advantage. These rat men were no longer a threat, and it was better to keep them so that they could train the newly recruited subordinates in the future.

Slowly descending from the sky in front of the kobolds who were worshiping, these kobolds saw him show off their supernatural power, and they were bowing to him on all fours at this time, which made him feel embarrassed to make a move for a while.

Then the strong kobold leader called out to him:

"Your Excellency the mighty dragon, please accept our allegiance."

"Think I'm a dragon?"

Lin Chen held his chin and looked at these kobolds, then looked at the kobold leader and asked:
"What can you do for me?"

The kobold leader immediately said loudly:
"I can dig gems for my master."

"Oh!"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up immediately, very bright ones, and asked quickly:

"Is there a gem mine here?"

The kobold leader quickly pointed to a large pit near the stone wall of the cave and nodded repeatedly:

"There is a gem mine down here, and gems can be dug out of it."

He hurried to the big pit. It was a big pit that had already been dug quite deep. Dig in the direction of the wall.

At this time, the clever kobold brought a large box over and put it down in front of him. When he opened it, his eyes lit up. There was a box of gemstones of various colors. Although they were just ordinary decorative gemstones, they were of different sizes and shapes. Rules, but gems are gems, worth more than most ores.

At this moment, he suddenly sniffed his nose, took a step forward and turned over the box, a box of gems crashed to the ground, stretched out his hand and squeezed out a few gems exuding energy fluctuations among the gems on the ground, and asked:
"Is this also dug out from here?"

The kobold leader quickly nodded:

"All the gems in this box were dug out from here."

"Very good, I accept your allegiance, I will protect you in the future, you dig these gems for me."

These few gemstones are the magic gemstones like the flame ruby ​​that he obtained before, which can be used as magic materials, and each one is worth hundreds of thousands. This kind of magic gemstone can be dug out here, which makes him instantly Make a decision to accept this group of kobolds, don't expect them to have any fighting power, just mine in this plane for yourself.

Anyway, kobolds don't consume as much food as humans. Two kobolds only consume one unit of food a day. There are more than 200 kobolds left here, which is equivalent to a hundred farmers. He can still afford it.

To subdue the kobolds, he doesn't need to do the work of collecting the corpses. These kobolds happily took the initiative to clean up, and they were extraordinarily attentive in front of him.

In the Underdark, the flesh of ratmen is edible. In fact, food is scarce in the underground world. Except for a few creatures such as the mind flayers, the meat of other humanoid races can be used as food for other creatures. Watch them happily eat the rats. Human corpses were skinned, fleshed, and deboned. He tilted his head and pretended not to see them.

It just so happens that the escaped Ratmen don't need to worry too much, as long as their reproduction speed is controlled, they can be allowed to exist in this plane. In addition to training recruits, they can also become a source of food for the kobolds, killing two birds with one stone.

A box of gems was taken away by him, but he didn’t sell it to the system, but kept it first. I don’t know if it’s because the fusion of dragon blood to become a dragon vein warlock has acquired the habits of the dragon tribe. Now he also likes all kinds of shiny things, even He is not willing to sell even ordinary gems.

Although most of these kobolds are useless, their leader, that is, the super strong kobold who has awakened a trace of dragon blood is a good fighter. In terms of strength, it is already at the limit of three stars, and it is about to reach the first rank. Look at it like this It won't take long to be promoted to the first level under the urging of the dragon's veins, but it is difficult to go further, because the dragon's blood is too weak.

This is a good thug, Lin Chen thinks that he can cultivate it well, or he can give him a drop of dragon blood to fully awaken his dragon veins after his own strength reaches the third level.

Lin Chen's self-vein comes from a sixth-level ancient dragon. The strength of the dragon's blood is stronger than that of many dragons in the world. It can be called a pure dragon. When his strength reaches the third level, he can become a short-term Giant dragons can change for a long time when they reach the fourth level of legend, and they can be transformed into dragons at the fifth level.

Calling him to come to him, Lin Chen asked:
"You may know that this seat is from another plane. Do you know how big this underground world is?"

The kobold leader bowed down in front of him humbly and answered respectfully:
"Great master, this world has three underground spaces as big as this one, and many small spaces."

"where is it?"

"Except for here, one was previously occupied by the Ratman, and the other is under the underground space of the Ratman. You can go down through the passage of the water column. The space below is the largest, but the most dangerous. I heard that there is a powerful spider demon inside. Separation, once the Ratman organized a large-scale expedition, but in the end most of them died and returned."

"A powerful spider demon?"

Lin Chen pinched his chin thoughtfully. In the Underdark Region, those who meet the conditions are either spider drows or dire spiders.

But the possibility of becoming a drow is not very high. This kind of creature was transformed from a failed dark elf. It has no ability to reproduce, so it is impossible to survive for so long, and the dire spider is not strong enough, and its individual strength is not even a level. Far from reaching the point where they call it a spider demon, at least the leader of the kobolds can single out a dire spider.

"Ok!"

He turned to look at the kobold leader and said suddenly:

"You'll be called Doug from now on."

As a potential subordinate, not having a name is not enough.

The leader of the kobolds was overjoyed when he heard this, and he kept saying nasty words, swearing allegiance to the death, and even stepped forward to hug his feet and lick his shoe uppers with his tongue, even though Lin Chen had seen this scene well-informed They all froze for a moment.

But he also understands why Doug is so excited. For the weak kobolds, it is nature and habit, or instinct and necessity, to be attached to the strong. The strong ones that kobolds most want to attach to are all kinds of giant dragons, and being named by their masters means that they are very valued by their masters. In their view, this is a very honorable thing, and excitement is inevitable.

It may have been just a casual remark to him, but to Doug it was a blessing from heaven. If he could see his loyalty now, he would definitely find that the kobold leader's loyalty instantly reached the full value and overflowed.

Lin Chen ignored the humble flattery of the kobold leader, but was thinking about when to go to the largest underground space among the fragments of the plane that Doug said. As long as the threats in this underground space are eliminated, the plane will be considered stable. .

I have to say that this is a good hang. Without this dragon bloodline, just relying on self-meditation, as an ordinary person without additional resources, even if you have enough experience, you will not be able to become so powerful in ten years. The level is over, and more formal occupations cannot be achieved.

With just these and twenty or thirty soldiers, it is not easy to open up a plane.

You can refer to this plane where the underground world dominates. If the lord only has one level, it will be very difficult to take down the underground space where the Ratmen are located. Surrounded by death, if you are not careful, it will be the end of the group.

It can be said that even if everything goes well, this plane cannot be conquered without one or two years of hard work, not including the largest underground space that even the ratmen and kobolds can't handle.
