Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 2343: Exiles of underground
"Go!"
Li Yao Huo Ran got up, said solemnly, "I want to take a good look, what she called" Great Dao ", what is it!"
Under the leadership of Li Jialing, Li Yao pushed out of the door, only to find himself in a stalagmite as thick as a giant tree.
The diameter of this stalagmite is at least 20-30 meters, hollowed out in the middle to form a lot of stone caves and rooms, and there are spiral steps outside to shuttle up and down.
Putting his head out of the stairs and looking down, at least a few tens of meters from the ground, but obscured by the dim Bewildering Mist of First Level, the depth is not clear.
Subterranean World will naturally not be foggy. Li Jialing told Li Yao that these are fungus powders of mushrooms, strange mushrooms, strange-shaped mushrooms and large creeping mosses, which are the main plants of Subterranean World.
And looking up, the top of the rock, which is about a few hundred meters high, hangs weakly with dozens of small suns. Li Yao estimates that it is a kind of artificially refined long-term stable output lighting Glyph Array, but no longer The stable output of time can't resist the erosion of thousands of years. Now, these "little suns" seem to be engulfed by borers. Not only is the light dim, but the spots are mottled and black spots appear on the surface. It's a piece of moldy light cake.
Under the dual effects of dim light and flying mushroom powder, the entire underground town of No. 10084 was shrouded in Bewildering Mist by First Level if it had nothing, adding a bit of mysterious and unfathomable.
The construction of underground towns is more 3D and magic than the cities on the ground, mines and stalagmites are entangled, tunnels and stalactites are intertwined, and the traces of Human Race Civilization continue to expand in the cracks as if they are trying to stretch, It occupies all the space that can be accommodated up and down.
This majestic stone pillar based on Li Yao alone has at least dozens of similar pokes beside it, forming the main body of the town.
The stone pillars are connected by a thick iron rope.
However, I saw a lot of underground people wearing gray cloaks, straddling on a dark red giant type bipedal lizard. The claws of this bipedal dexterously shuttled between the iron ropes are similar to bird claws. It is easy to hold the rope tightly, or even hang upside down under the rope, and with the help of the rope's reverberating force, it jumps tens of meters away lightly, often by jump three or two times, from one stone pillar jump to another stone pillar.
People shuttled between the stone pillars, and the iron rope was constantly oscillated by the red lizard. The sound of "*crash* *crash*" was endless, and another sound of "humming and chirping" from all directions constituted the main tone of town No. 10084.
Li Jialing tells Li Yao that these red mounts are red lizards. It seems to be a product of genetic modulation. It is a kind of Spirit Beast, so it looks fierce and fierce. In fact, its character is more gentle than cattle and horses. It is underground people crawling in 3D town High and low, the best helper to move around.
As for the sound of "humming and chirping", it is because the rock worms are eating. This is a livestock-based town. The breeding of rock worms is the source of most people ’s livelihood. Like insects, but chubby creatures like pigs, also genetically-modulated Spirit Beast, the digestive system has been specially strengthened to live on engulfing rocks, mosses and various mushrooms, and can absorb the most of the harsh feed. Nutrients, converted into fats and proteins that can be eaten by Human Race, are popular staple foods in Subterranean World.
Near this geological zone, five-digit underground towns such as District 10084 are often dominated by breeding rock insects. Most rock insects are not eaten by themselves, but are transported to the upper four-digit towns. In exchange for energy and various industrial manufactured products, these forgotten Residents can retain the last spark of Civilization.
Li Yao walks in the court, wandering around the town, carefully observing the details of the stalagmites, chains, and streets. It feels that this town, which looks like Medieval Era, is full of contradictory flavors everywhere.
The stone pillar he just stood on is not a pure natural product. It seems that there was a very developed Civilization first, and a hollow steel cylinder was erected on underground, and then materials such as Liquid Metal or concrete gradually Lay it on top, so as to ensure that the "stone pillar" which is tens of meters thick and hundreds of meters long has sufficient strength.
Besides rugged streets and pothole tunnels, peeling layers of moss and vines, you can see a neatly arranged, neatly routed pipeline that connects all stone pillars together. It should be some kind of large type wired Spiritual Nexus system, but it can be seen that it has not been used for a long time, Li Yao does not perceive a slight Spiritual Energy response from the fine crystal wire.
In many places, when you tear the moss First Level layer, you can see the rusty metal wall, and when Li Yao wipes the rust again, you can see the smooth surface like a mirror. The seams of the hair are lined with large squares.
Some big words are slogans to remind people, such as "There are spell array in it, no idlers are allowed to enter", and others are the designation of the army, such as "Thirty-third Production and Construction Corps" and more. The erosion was completely clean, and the slightest breath of Li Yao turned them into dust and scattered them.
Li Yao narrowed its eyes, found the longest seam, extended its index finger, and gently tapped from top to bottom, only to feel that the hand feels delicate and silky, without any bit of astringency and obstruction. There is no such a seam.
This joint is a combination of two steel plates of at least tens of square meters. After some years of thermal expansion and contraction, stress changes and crustal movement, the seam is still tightly closed to this extent, which shows that the town was originally built. People, how well developed Civilization.
"It should be a very advanced underground refuge at first?"
Li Yao photographed the moss and sludge on the palm, and continued to look at the up and down town of structure10084 full of time tunnel-like contradiction, like the advanced and backward, Civilization and wild, artificial and natural, each A completely different kind of feeling is put together together.
Perhaps the seemingly messy "vines" are the most advanced Spiritual Energy pipelines in the past; what looks like stalactites is the long-dusted Defense Glyph Array; Super Crystal Computer, which used to control the entire underground refuge, has been used for thousands of years. The erosion was only left with an empty shell, and the children who had long forgotten the glory of the past were kicked.
"It should be."
Li Jialing Road, "Elder Sister Long's statement and Brother Yao differs not much, a long time ago, this is indeed a very advanced refuge or underground base, Magical Artifact warehouse and the like."
Li Yao folded his fingers, flicked the steel plate, and listened to the fine echo with breathless breath, said: "How could it be like this?"
Li Jialing Road: "Elder Sister Long gave me two examples. The first is geological faults. With the change of the blue sea turned into mulberry fields, the more ancient creatures or Civilization, the more they will be covered by soil and rocks and gradually fall. Go deep into underground.
"If you cut the ground to expose a fault like a thousand-layer cake, and then study the fossils of embed in the faults, you will find that the more fossils found in the upper layer, the newer the age and the more they are buried in underground The fossils in the depths represent the older creatures or even Civilization. "
Li Yao nodded: "This is easy to understand, anything else?"
"And there is the ocean."
Li Jialing Road, "The unfathomable ocean is a top-down 3D ecosystem. With changes in sunlight, temperature, seawater salinity, density, and pressure, it is actually an ecosystem that First Level First Level does not interfere with each other. Life The fish in shallow sea water may not dive to the bottom of a few kilometers or even tens of thousands of meters in a lifetime, and giant type squid living in the depths of tens of thousands of meters will never look forward to the warmth of the sun, although the same It ’s marine life, but the upper and lower layers have long formed two worlds that do n’t communicate with each other. ”
Li Yao said: "What can these two examples illustrate?"
"Elder Sister Long said that Human Race Civilization has developed for a full 100,000 years. From Ancient Cultivation World of 40,000 years ago to today's modern cultivation Civilization, in fact, it has slowly differentiated different classes. Human Race living on different levels is like a fossil formed in different years. Or, like marine life inhabiting different depths, it has long been a person of different worlds, even if they do n’t need to be distinguished by 'real people' or 'primitives', but this difference is destined to exist. "
Li Jialing said, "As early as the Ancient Cultivation Era of 40,000 years ago, the erosion of the weak by expert has never stopped for a day or even a second. The weak who cannot resist expert can only choose to escape.
"Some weak people have fled from the plains to the rugged and barren mountain areas, and some weak people continue to wander into the depths of underground, and as the claws of expert stretched towards underground, they escaped step by step to deeper places.
"In the beginning, this escape was only sporadic, spontaneous, not System.
"At the beginning of 40,000 years ago and The Great Dark Age, when Fiend Clan replaced Human Race to rule Star Ocean, those Human Race who were unwilling to be ruled by Fiend Clan were the main force of the first large-scale` `march to underground ''.
“Wait until 10,000 years ago, when the cruel rule of Fiend Clan was overthrown, Human Race launched an extremely **** vengeful killing on Fiend Clan, and with 30,000 years of hatred and anger, Human Race vowed to kill the last Fiend Clan, so, With the second large-scale flight to underground, this time the fugitive became Fiend Clan.
"The good times are not long. The Star Ocean Empire established by Human Race has just crossed the level of reign for thousands of years and faced the most brutal civil war. The flames of war swept almost every Greater Thousand Worlds. Countless Human Races that once joined hands to fight against Fiend Clan one after another broke up and turned into a deadly enemy So, the third large-scale underground escape followed one after another.
"The next ten thousand years will be the endless **** years of the Star Ocean war. The military fighters such as Paramount Heaven Sector and Empyrean Terminus Star are indisputable places, and it is naturally the center of the war. The countless people who have lost their homes have fled after waves of underground. , It's even less strange.
"One generation of another fugitive, which constitutes the main body of underground Resident, regards the refuges, military bases, and Magical Artifact warehouses built by various races and forces in the past as new homes. This is the origin of most underground towns.
"Naturally, the later Resident who fled into underground tended to live on the shallower surface, and the earlier they fled into Resident of underground, the living space was constantly squeezed by the latecomers and had to continue to flee downward, slow Slowly settled deep into underground, for example here. "
