The excavation went very smoothly.
Because of the strong support of the goblin royal family, the entire camp food and materials are extremely well prepared. And the magic energy battery used as energy source has shipped hundreds of boxes, which is enough for more than 200 construction machinery on site to run continuously for one month.
More than thirty drilling rigs drilled a large hole on the mixed ground of sand and gravel with high-speed rotating drill bits, and then disappeared into the sight of everyone. With luck, they may drill into underground for hundreds of meters at a time. But when they get there, they have a very high probability of hitting the outer wall of a metal building, or directly hitting a large piece of broken rock like mountain-like ...
Either way, it's not good for fragile rigs.
Either the machine was destroyed or the drill was on strike, and it could only stay in place and wait for the rescue on it.
Of course, there are those who are lucky enough to find a zigzag forward space among the rocky debris, stone fragments, and parts of metal buildings.
So, with the deepening of the ground cleaning work, the general situation of the underground space became apparent.
The original Iron and Steel Metropolis was built on top of a towering mountain, and the bottom of the mountain was hollowed out by nearly 60%. It was transformed into the underground martyrdom in all directions and large and small crypts and secret rooms. In order to enhance their sturdiness, when digging this space of underground, goblin paved a large number of metal tunnels and special enclosed rooms with all-metal components.
With the occurrence of the Big Bang, all the underground tunnels were broken into countless sections, while those metal chambers were distorted and displaced.
Later, the space of underground collapsed, and the mountain above, along with most of the buildings of Iron and Steel Metropolis, collapsed, and was buried in the underground depth of nearly a kilometer by the gigabytes of dirt and debris.
To be honest, I want to find out the former Iron and Steel Metropolis from the depth of underground, and find out what was in the original underground space. This difficulty is no less than hollowing out this huge mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles.
However, as a project promoted by Grim, the wealthy goblin royal family can only take it over, and put most of the strength under its control into it.
In the goblin camp of the clearance area, there are as many as 70,000 goblin stationed here. Hundreds of construction machinery are constantly cleaning the ground day and night, pushing a lot of abandoned debris and residues farther away. region. In just 5 days, they have excavated 150 meters underground and cleared up tens of thousands of tons of earth and stone containing various crushed stones and metal fragments.
And in the central area of goblin camp, there is such a small tent standing alone, there is no goblin dare to approach within 100 meters. Only when the excavation team finds some strange items that have never been seen before will they send someone to ask the supervisor's Billy master.
Even if the other party is out, they will hide themselves in a thick black robe, almost never revealing a little skin.
In Nuoda's camp, except for a few goblin Commander who know the true identity of the other party, the rest of the goblin knows nothing.
Returning from the goblin engineering headquarters again, Billy sat back on his knees on his own blanket. The center of a fist-sized crystal ball was flashing a little red.
Billy extended his singular right hand covered with black carapace and attached it to crystal ball.
The next second, a familiar Spiritual Consciousness came to his mind.
"How about Billy, goblin?" It is Grim far from Adept World.
With the connection of Transmission Rite and Flame Throne Magic Tower, the Witchcraft connection between the two plane is not a big problem.
"Master, today they dug down another 17 meters. However, they encountered a remnant of a huge stone statue, and are trying to find a way to blast it out ... In addition, they also found a metal building that stretched for 3 miles. On the roof, you should be able to find the remaining Host's Body after the Iron and Steel Metropolis explosion. By then, there may be some meaningful discoveries ... "
After listening to Billy's report, Grim in the distance paused slightly, and then asked, "What did you find on this side?"
With the cunning and skeptical of Adept , how can we pin our single hope on goblin. Therefore, Grim sends Billy here, on the one hand, to monitor the progress of goblin, and on the other hand, use the special capabilities of Insect Adept to find the baby in underground by its own means.
"My little babies are almost 500 meters away from underground. Yesterday, I found one or two suspected metal tunnel faults, and today I also found an underground warehouse, but all of them are ordinary materials. According to this progress, It takes about three or four days to reach a depth of kilometers. "
After hearing this answer, Grim nodded with satisfaction, and then whispered: "The closer you are to the explosion, the more careful you are. In addition to the space fragmentation zone hidden in the dirt, you must also be careful of the enemy . I have a feeling that the other party is not completely death. Once you find signs of life, you will immediately notify me, I will get over as soon as possible ... "
The two whispered a few more sentences, and confirmed that there were no omissions before the costly remote connection was cut off.
When the red awns in crystal ball completely dissipated, Insect Adept Billy then retracted his right hand and sat still. There was no more movement. Of course, he didn't fall asleep and didn't have meditation, but instead immersed his mind in the scorpion under the thick mud.
…………
Billy In the 573 meters of dark soil, a basin-sized scorpion uses its strange instincts to clear the soil and is digging hard.
Under its weird, repeated eyes, the soil in front of him is not all dark, and there are also strange things that are difficult to count. Including green tree branches that are not completely rotten, metal fragments flashing with energy dazzling light, some bones left by goblin, strangely shaped broken rocks, and many broken materials that are difficult to distinguish from their original shape ...
The thirteen scorpions are not gathered together, but spread apart, looking for a secret passage to the lower part in the loose soil and residue.
Although the original underground tunnel was mostly broken, it still has some residue. As long as you find them, not only is it easy to locate, but you can also find some high-value targets on the track.
However, as scorpion couldn't stop digging through the dirt, it suddenly stopped the movement in its hands and began to perceive a strange shock from the depth of underground.
The epicenter is not far, it seems to be only tens of meters away.
In terms of the magnitude and frequency of the vibration, it seems ... it seems that something underground is digging up secretly, and its speed is not slow.
The accidental discovery immediately caught the attention of Billy above the ground. Under his remote control, thirteen scorpions began to approach the source from a variety of angles. Before reporting to Grim, he felt it necessary to figure out the truth of the epicenter!
With the goal, the speed of digging will be much faster.
When the source was only ten meters away, under the command of Billy, the rest of scorpion stopped digging and changed to a latent status/mode, and only one scorpion proceeded carefully.
Just when the scorpion was only one meter away from the source, a weird black claw penetrated through the thick soil and grabbed it.
Immediately, the earth burst and the light loomed.
In a small cave that can only fit, a fat, thin, two tall figures crowded inside, and the one holding the scorpion is the bigger one.
Catch the scorpion and shake it, shake off the mud dregs on the body surface attached, and the tall figure opens his mouth without hesitation, and he actually puts it into his mouth and bites.
scorpion's originally tough alloy-like worm shell had no effect in the mouth of this tall figure. With the strange and crisp sound of kāchā kāchā, the shell of the worm shattered and the blood of the worm splattered, and scorpion was swallowed by its life.
Insect Adept Billy made a sharp hissing sound and felt a sudden pain in his head.
He has a feeling that the other party not only swallowed scorpion, I am afraid that even the strand of Spiritual Force attached to scorpion was swallowed up.
Damn, it's it!
Billy resisted the pain and opened Communication Crystal ...
…………
When Grim got the news, he was actually working on an issue at hand.
After a long period of planning and control, he finally got a glimpse of the long-planned event.
The fish is hooked!
Leicester Wiecke, the guy who left Blood Source and infected Mary with vampire of foreign descent, finally appeared again after 70 years of dormancy.
He left the old blood castle in the Cardaseron area and began to frequently participate in the local affairs of the Vik family. He lingered in the aristocratic banquets and **** salons all day.
It sounds like good news. But with the good news comes the big bad news.
Unfortunately, that Leicester Wiecke also smoothly advanced to become a Second Grade vampire.
This has undoubtedly raised his status in the Vik family to the point where it compares with several Family Elders!
Even with the strength of Grim Second Grade Fire Sorcerer, it is not so easy to make it into the trap in a few years before you advance to the other side. Even a bad one, even Grim may be folded in his hands.
After all, vampire Adept is famous even in Sandtalin Region!
But for the future development of Mary's, it is most important to exchange her blood for rebirth.
Just as Grim silently planned a plan for hunting Second Grade vampire Adept , Insect Adept Billy far away from Goblin Plane suddenly returned a sufficiently powerful news.
The enemy has appeared!
