Long Shiyu was completely frightened by the rogue princess, and her ears were red for a long time.

I was so scared that the methods of building nests were not neat, I was so scared that I stopped playing Doudizhu, and I was so scared that I forgot bedtime stories and good night kisses.

While lying under the quilt, he carefully recalled the story of the princess.

All the princesses were captured by the dragon with a cry of "ah" or "ah~~~", and were taken to the castle tearfully, only to be molested by the dragon.

Why is his good-looking princess different.

Why his pretty princess mutated.

Long Shiyu couldn't figure it out, and didn't understand which step went wrong.

In the afternoon, they went to another line of defense and stopped a smaller wave of alien beasts.

At night, the temperature in this dry land dropped sharply, and they still slept in camping tents.

Although it is called a "tent", it is actually very spacious inside and has all the functions it should have. A hot bath can wash away the fatigue of the day, and the flowers on the bedside cover up the barrenness of the place, and it is lively and lively. , a lush illusion.

After turning off the lights at night, Shen Chaomu asked, "Why don't you kiss goodnight tonight?"

Long Shiyu: "Oh."

Shen Chaomu said: "I didn't mean to scare you, I dare you next time."

Then he half got up, pressed Long Shiyu with one hand and gave him a good night kiss.

The meaning of this goodnight kiss is different, and there is an undercurrent in the eyes.Long Shiyu didn't even dare to touch the princess's waist anymore, so he slept with his tail curled up all night.

In the dream, he held the princess's small...big hand and ran across the plain.

In the previous dream, they rolled all the way down the soft grass slope, and finally lay together next to a few freshly bloomed flowers, with the breeze blowing, and then Shen Chaomu... Shen Chaomu looked at it innocently. Looking at him, shy and weak, she can only let him tease her.

But for some reason, the princess in the dream also mutated this time.

When rolling on the lawn, the princess forcibly lifted half of his clothes when checking the wound, and then bit his ear with one side of her head.

Also lightly grind a few times.

Long Shiyu woke up from the dream.

He hurriedly got up and took a sip of water to calm his shock.

The dragon story definitely shouldn't be this style of painting, he was a little tangled up for a few seconds and then lay back.

Still sleeping in seconds.

He slept well, but this time he didn't have any dreams, and slept until dawn.

By morning, Shen Chaomu's terminal had accumulated a lot of messages, some were business affairs, some were urgent notices, and most of them were friends who came to inquire about the chief.

As he expected, the association did not truthfully state the reasons for his withdrawal from the chief election.

The notice just said, "This is the result of mutual agreement between the two parties."

Shen Chaomu's attitude towards Long Shiyu is very obvious, and he is the center of Gao Feng's plan. No matter what, the people in the alliance will not completely tear themselves apart with him because of a strange beast... At least, there is no meeting.

Now they have maintained a very delicate balance, and have tacitly agreed that they will no longer meddle in the matter of Long Shiyu.

Shen Chaomu processed the news one by one, and said to Long Shiyu, "It's time to go."

"Okay." Long Shiyu yawned, stood up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and put on the little cloak the princess bought for him.

They boarded the aircraft to the next location.

During this period of time, the settlement in the sky has been staying peacefully in Shen Chaomu's private aircraft, and has not been discovered by others.

Their injuries are getting better and better. Even though the number of people in the settlement has been greatly reduced, as long as they return to the hometown of the sky, everything will definitely get better.

On the aircraft, Long Shiyu took another nap.

When he woke up, there were a few more snacks from Shen Chaomu beside him.He picked up a pack of shrimp crackers and started eating happily, looking out the window while eating.

The ground is still khaki, dry and cracked.

However, under the yellow sand, there is a huge silhouette faintly.

It was a cold and hard color unique to metal, blue-silver, and under the scorching sun at this time, the flash of light was extremely dazzling.

The part exposed from the surface of the yellow sand resembles... the foot of a spider.

Seeing his eyes fall on it, Shen Chaomu said: "This is the dwarf's previous self-defense robot. It walks on the sand and leans on the tracks. When the ground is firmer, it will be replaced with eight legs. Their forging technology is very good. Superb, even if it is a pure metal machine, it will not run out of control due to high heat here."

"Oh." Long Shiyu said, "I seem to have seen it before."

Shen Chaomu immediately woke up: "Have you been here before?"

"I just walked around here. I flew too fast, so I didn't look carefully."

"You didn't do anything strange, did you?"

"Of course not," Long Shiyu said, "I don't like the climate here."

Staying at the defense line here, a huge building can be seen from a distance.

The building resembled a pyramid, but it was entirely made of black metal.Under the scorching sun, there are golden fine lines in the pure black, and you can see them shining faintly when you get close.

The hunter who came to respond said: "This building appeared at the same time as the frenzy of alien beasts. Our observation data shows that the height of the ground here has dropped by nearly 24 meters in 300 hours."

Under the hot surface of the western hemisphere, there exists an ecosystem in which various animals, plants and exotic animals coexist.

When they migrate on a large scale, the height of the sand layer will fluctuate. If they happen to hit the action of flying snakes, the huge sandstorm will change the landform even more.

Whenever this happens, the team of Zhanshu Chamber of Commerce will avoid it.And if they were unlucky and couldn't hide when they happened to bump into each other, they could only hide in the tactical tent first.

In the tent, even if there are anti-shock facilities, you can still feel the slight shock at the beginning, and then gradually strengthen, like an earthquake. The lights in the tent are shaking, various equipment is tilted, and the monitoring data is desperately soaring.

The yellow sand under your feet is flowing and restless. If you gently put your hand on it, you can even feel the flow of the sand.

This restlessness can last for hours.

When the tent was opened again, the outside was a completely different landscape.

The hills turned into valleys, and strange, continuous mountains made of pure sand were uprooted from the flat ground-the traces of desert flying snakes.

"However," the hunter said, "there has never been such a large change in altitude in a short period of time before. Now the scientific research team means that this may be the origin of the frenzy of alien beasts."

Shen Chaomu looked at the black pyramid in the distance.

It is silent and majestic, with its spire pointing directly at the sun.

If you stand on it and look far away, you may be able to see the tall tower tens of kilometers away.

High Wind Tower.

Where it all started.

Shen Chaomu asked: "What's the matter with the bell on the report?"

"The investigation has not been done yet," the hunter said solemnly, "but it is basically certain that the source of the sound came from this area. And this building...we have never seen it before, but it is the same as the 'bell tower' of the dwarves in the records." Somewhat similar."

Shen Chaomu lit a cigarette and looked at the huge pyramid: "When can I go in."

"There are still thirteen hours," said the hunter. "The report from the mechanic said that its heat dissipation design is very clever, but the cooling system has failed, and we can only wait for the sun to go down."

So they waited for a while.

Several tents are set up, and next to them are combat vehicles and aircraft.

They were all shrouded in deep shadows—the mountains formed by the sand after the desert flying snakes flew by in groups.

With that "mountain", the station is like a basin, just enough to shade the scorching sun.

Yang Zhiming came here with him, and he was very excited.He has always been extremely fascinated by mechanical things, and he has never forgotten the core of the Giant in Beien before, but this visit to the land of the dwarves made him even more crazy.

As soon as he was free these days, he used all kinds of gadgets that had just been dug up to study.

He will also enter the pyramid this time, and he is still in the tent, prying a mechanical bird with a screwdriver.

Long Shiyu followed Shen Chaomu back to the tent, ate a few fruits and asked, "What is the Dwarf's Bell Tower?"

"A long time ago, probably after helping Bei En build the Bridge of Damocles, the dwarves discovered a special metal," Shen Chaomu explained, "The sound it makes when it hits is enough to shake a hundred kilometers away. land. So they built a special building, that is, the pyramid, to house the giant clock. Of course, the pyramid must still be on the surface at that time.”

"Sounds like fun," Long Shiyu gnawed a mouthful of peaches, "Can they knock if they have nothing to do?"

"Usually, there is an emergency or when a major event occurs. However, at the same time as the surface of the ground here fell, people nearby heard the bell again. It stands to reason that this building buried 300 meters underground should not have Someone is continuing to ring the bell." Shen Chaomu said, "In the past, the frenzy always appeared from the forest, but this year it moved here, so I have to go down to see if there is any abnormality."

"Okay." Long Shiyu started to eat the pineapple, "I still don't like this place very much, I don't even have much to eat."

Shen Chaomu: "...you peel the pineapple before you speak."

After finally waiting until night, the temperature dropped sharply.

They waited another two hours to ensure that the temperature inside the metal pyramid had completely dropped before preparing to enter.

Accompanying them were guides from the Zhanshu Chamber of Commerce.

He has been leading the team in the western hemisphere for 40 to [-] years. He knows this place very well, and he also knows a lot about the construction of dwarven buildings. This time he volunteered to lead the team for the association.

They successfully destroyed a side door of the pyramid.

The heat of the morning dissipated, and the coldness of the evening was transmitted through the metal.

When I first entered, I couldn't see my fingers. Several hunters threw flares, and bright light suddenly filled the room.

A dark corridor appeared in front of them.

The walkway is about two meters high and three people wide.

Long Shiyu looked at the wall, but didn't see any gaps.

There are also faint dark lines in the black metal. I don't know how to create it. Until now, there is still a faint golden light shining.It is as if it was built at one time, and there is no half-miss.

According to a rough estimate, the thick metal in this aisle is at least tens of thousands of kilograms.

To this day, this forging technology is still beyond the league's reach.

After many years, there is not much dust here, clean and cold.

Shen Chaomu's mental power swept across the narrow space.

He said: "I haven't felt any strange beasts for the time being, so let's go forward. Just follow the plan and return if no abnormalities are found."

The frenzy was still raging, and he wouldn't spend as much time here.

This kind of space will inevitably make people depressing. For a while, there are only the sound of people's breathing and footsteps in the aisle.

After passing another corner, the passage suddenly descended, as if going straight to the ground.

Deep and terrifying.

Long Shiyu was thinking about what to eat tonight, but Shen Chaomu leaned over and took his hand.

This seemed to be the first time the princess took the initiative to hold hands with him.

Long Shiyu immediately forgot about those hooligan behaviors, his heart was full of joy, and he quickly promised: "I will find you the most beautiful flower when you are free."

It is best to go to the grassland overgrown with wild flowers like in a dream, hug and roll down the soft grass slope all the way, and finally lie next to a few flowers together.

Shen Chaomu chuckled twice: "Yes."

After walking for another five or six minutes, the corridor finally came to an end.

It's like a small room here, but it's all made of metal and cold.

There are not only dark lines on the wall, but also patterns similar to murals.

The guide stepped up and recognized it: "This is... the dwarves' writing. It should be their chronicle, but there are only a few sentences."

Then the little robot flew up and translated those few sentences:

[This is the history of the great iron master

Shirtless is doing

first year, iron

In the second year, strike iron

In the third year, blacksmithing and drinking

In the fourth year, drinking

...]

What follows is a pointless repetitive exclamation.

Yang Zhiming: "...This style is as rough as ever, without much information."

Shen Chaomu said: "At least it can be seen that their lives are getting better, and they have been drinking in the third year."

Yang Zhiming: "..."

There are not many words in the following, and most of them are pure pictures.

The dwarf's painting style is also extremely wild, but a few strokes can also outline the charm.They looked all the way, and most of the murals were forging scenes, such as furnaces hundreds of meters high, tens of millions of tons of metal, and hammers held high in the hands of dwarves.

The murals are arranged in chronological order.

In the beginning, the dwarves' devices were crude, and they used steam. Later, they used wind power, electricity, nuclear energy, and finally spiritual power.

They have big beards, and the muscles in their hands protrude when they raise the hammer high, and they make a crisp sound after hitting the red metal——

From the picture, one can imagine the tinkling sound of blacksmithing, the whirring of the blower, the crackling of flames, the screaming of steam bursting from the narrow exhaust port, and the sizzling of the iron block immersed in water. The refreshing quenching sound of Zila.

And further forward, the dwarves used strangely shaped machines to carve out the solid ground.

There is a text next to it: [Let us work together to penetrate the center of the earth]

The guide watched intently: "I have been in the Western Hemisphere for so many years, and I have never seen such a mural."

Shen Chaomu said, "Can you see what you're talking about?"

"It's not very possible," said the guide. "I haven't studied the culture of dwarves specifically, and I haven't heard that they built anything special underground."

Shen Chaomu nodded: "Indeed, they have never formally joined the alliance, and they don't bother to exchange culture with other races."

The guide laughed and said, "Perhaps in their eyes there is not much difference between humans and beasts, only metal is true love."

The frescoes are interrupted here.

There was another long corridor ahead. After walking for 10 minutes, they arrived at another room.

The content of the mural continues here.The content of the first picture is a giant bird spreading its wings above the desert and under the sun.

This time Yang Zhiming just took a look, and shouted loudly: "This, this is the fucking 'Xijia', definitely"

Shen Chaomu said, "Is it the divine bird they believe in?"

"That's right." Yang Zhiming almost pounced on the mural, "So Xijia really exists."

Like normal civilizations, dwarves have things to admire.

It's just that they don't care about illusory things, and they even disdain the ancient trees of the beast race's belief.

The divine bird Sika they believe in is a huge machine made entirely of metal.Similar to the aisle here, it has almost no stitching throughout the body.

For a long time, Xijia only existed in legends.

After all, in that era, it was simply a fantasy to build a metal machine that weighed tens of thousands of tons and floated in the air by waving its "wings".

Not to mention, there are countless forging furnaces above Xijia. Every night, hot molten iron and waste water will rush down from both sides of the bird's body, and the high energy consumption is enough to drag down any starship.

If it exists, it must be the dream of every mechanic.

"If it is on the mural, doesn't it mean that Xijia really exists?" Yang Zhiming was already going crazy, "Maybe it is under this pyramid."

The robot has scanned all the murals here and transmitted the data back.Seeing his frenzy, the guide was taken aback, and asked Shen Chaomu in a low voice, "Is he all right?"

"It's okay, it's normal now." Shen Chaomu rubbed his eyebrows, and told Yang Zhiming, "If there are no strange beasts here, we should go back temporarily."

"Of course I know." Yang Zhiming was still stuttering, "You guys, just let me get excited again."

He was still excited, and several people continued to look at the mural in front of them.

The following content was relatively ordinary, Shen Chaomu hurriedly glanced over, but his eyes suddenly fixed on a certain place.

What was painted on it was a huge oven.

The workload of the dwarves is very heavy. They are addicted to alcohol, and they drink hard alcohol almost every day until their bodies turn red.Of course, the food to eat is also extremely wild. If the five-six-meter-high and tens-of-meter-wide oven is lit up with flames, any meat can be roasted until the skin is crispy.

The oven here looks like it has been destroyed.

Not only that, all the ingredients they put in reserve next to the stove were empty, and a group of angry dwarves raised their hammers to the sky——

In the air is an evil dragon with wings spread, the scales of its long tail turned up like a sharp blade, and a raging fire burst out from its mouth.

There is a small arrow pointing to the dragon's head next to it, and a line of annotation reads: [Silver].

Shen Chaomu: "..."

Shen Chaomu: "..."

He looked at Long Shiyu beside him.

Long Shiyu looked sincere: "It's not me, I really don't know anything."
