Chapter 1001 West Road Mining Area 【For further reading】

Zong Shen led the accompanying soldiers along the descending extension of the mine in the west area.

Dutra, the kobold chief, will accompany you all the way, and white crystals are placed in all passages, so lighting is not a problem.

With the expansion of Zongshen's territory, the presence of the mine kobolds became less and less.

Fortunately, Dutra is also very self-aware. He is not very good at fighting kobolds, but they are experts in mining, so he chose to stick to his profession.

This time the lord is here in person, it must not be absent, so as to prove to Zong Shen that it is dedicated to the mine, and by the way, it will show a sense of presence.

After seeing the development potential of Zongshen's territory, Dutra has already made up his mind to hug his thigh tightly.

As long as the territory is to be mined in the future, it will be necessary for their kobolds to contribute.

After everyone came to the lower mine, they could see kobold workers and human miners working together.

From time to time, the roar of the magic drill can be heard.

As for the transportation, the repaired mechanical minecart and several weight-bearer mechs were used.

After the relevant mana machines have been exchanged by Zong Shen many times, the overall reserve has become relatively abundant, and can be distributed to various production tasks in the territory.

All in all, the current mine is completely different from the original mine.

There is a lot less darkness, and a lot more popularity.

Continuing along the West Road mine road, it took about ten minutes to arrive at the area blocked by blasting.

There are no miners carrying out mining operations nearby, only a small squad of wolf cavalry stationed scatteredly.

"My lord, this mine road is the extension channel of the West Road mining area."

"The undead howls and wandering skeletons appeared from the depths of this passage."

Dutra stopped and turned around to salute. The wolf cavalry stationed around did not move. They stood in place and bowed to salute.

The sentry does not leave the post, which is one of the manifestations of discipline.

Zong Shen nodded, and looked at the mine tunnel filled with a lot of rubble.

A strategy note slowly emerged.

(Oh~, it’s the long-lost exploration session again, I can’t wait for this guide!

The blocked mine road in front of you leads to the depths of the Azshara mining area, where the alliance rebels turned to the base camp for underground operations, where you can see a large number of human, elf, troll, orc and blood-burning demon bones

Evil undead are bred in it, especially the corpses left by the powerful. They are full of unwillingness and resentment, and they absorb the power of the undead in the shadows day after day.

There are a lot of materials and equipment left by the rebels in the ruins, and there is also a piece of [Azshara Spirit Key Fragment (orange)], after obtaining it, you will have six pieces)

…

He looked at the notes of this strategy, and couldn't help but smile.

"It's been a long time indeed."

After knowing it in his mind, he turned around and gave the order.

"All on alert."

After all, Zong Shen took out the fifth-level [Magic Energy Drilling Machine] and started it skillfully.

The split drill bit started to spin, and the sound of the "rumbling" engine reverberated in the quiet mine tunnel.

Whether it is to drill the ground or open up passages, [Magic Energy Drilling Machine] is a good partner for exploring the ruins.

Zong Shen pushed the forward gear lever, the drill bit twisted away the accumulated gravel, and moved forward with the track gripping the ground, slowly approaching.

In terms of propulsion efficiency alone, it is actually not that high, but it is also much more efficient than conventional methods of unarmed digging.

But the subsequent excavation was not smooth. When he dug through for the first time, the middle section collapsed again.

Therefore, they could only clean up back and forth, and it took more than an hour to completely open a road that could pass safely.

It can be seen that the blasting here was very thorough at the beginning. No wonder Dutra dared to pat his chest to ensure that even the great undead would not be able to dig through it for a while.

The mine that cleared the gravel was a full circle larger than the other mines.

This level of blasting blockage, not to mention the possible large undead, even Zong himself would not be easy to clear a way without the help of magic machines.

After the passage to the West Road mining area was opened, Zong Shen asked Kagunia to be responsible for driving the [Magic Power Drilling Machine] to follow the middle of the team, using the front searchlight of the drilling machine to illuminate the front.

He was at the front of the team with six [Fourth-Rank Night Huntresses] and two [Sixth-Rank Ancient Tree Spear Throwers].

Behind them are the crispy units such as [Sixth-rank Dark Singer], [Third-rank Fire Mage], and [Third-rank Holy Light Priest]. The last one is Favid. In fact, the rear is facing the way. There should be no danger.

As for the kobold chief Dutra, Zong Shen left him on standby.

That guy's combat strength is limited, not only can't help him keep up, but it will become a burden.

The mine in front of me slowly extended downwards.

Extraordinarily dark, cold, cramped.

After losing that popularity, Zong Shen felt as if he was advancing in a tomb somewhere.

"Hoo hoo hoo..."

Suddenly, he stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

Just now, there was a gust of wind blowing head-on.

This breeze brought a dense coolness and the faint power of the dead.

"Ka Ka Ka... Ga Bang..."

After a while, there was a crisp sound.

The light of the [Magic Energy Drilling Machine] reflected a large shadow.

Dozens of skeletons of different shapes suddenly revived in front of them, and the soul fire in their skulls was instantly lit.

A dim light of red and blue appeared, like a floating will-o'-the-wisp.

【Sinking Skeleton Swordsman LV25 (Blue)】

…

【Resentful Skeleton Caster LV28 (Blue)】

…

[Skull Knight Awakened from Nightmare LV30 (Purple)]

…

[Desolate Bone Troll Warrior LV30 (Purple)]

…

【Four Arms Skeleton Elf Archer LV25 (Blue)】

…

As he scanned, lines of information about the enemy quickly emerged.

There are twenty-seven undead blocking the way ahead, most of them are skeleton swordsmen.

There are also a few skeleton knights with strange shapes riding horses with broken limbs, and tall troll warriors holding spears and stone clubs.

The weirdest ones are those deformed skeleton elf archers with four arms.

They hold two bows and can fire them at the same time, which is equivalent to double the shooting speed.

"Free attack!"

"Suppression battle mode!"

Zong Shen didn't make a move, but took a step back and gave the order to attack.

For the fighters in the territory, they have already prepared several sets of preliminary battle plans.

[Sixth-order thorn ancient tree spear thrower] walked briskly with deer hooves, and activated the [Wood Spirit Spear Thrower] skill.

A light green elemental spear condensed out and flew towards the mine ahead!

[Fourth-Rank Night Huntress] threw out the large moon blades in their hands, and the accompanying [Ejection] effect was just right for such a situation.

The [Third-Rank Fire Mage] and [Third-Rank Priest of Holy Light] were not idle either, they all chanted fast magic, and the fireballs and holy light arrows flew away.

Favid also chanted [Explosive Fireball], and aimed at the charging [Skull Knight Awakened from Nightmare LV30 (Purple)].

What followed was the counterattack of the undead.

Zong Shen didn't move. The passive effects produced by the items on his body were protecting the soldiers under his command.

It took only three or four minutes for the battle to be completely over.

The damage caused by the opponent's counterattack is not worth the recovery ability of the passive healing effect.

Zong Shen didn't make up the knife, and gave Favid the opportunity to harvest the heads so that he could expand more two-headed hellhounds. Zong Shen collected a wave of experience points by himself.

An enemy of this size still poses a great threat to the general lord's exploration team.

After all, there are many purple commander-level monsters among them, and it is an encounter in a mine environment. Not only does it not have the advantage of terrain, but also the advantage of first-hand preparation.

But Zong Shen is different, now he has high-level fighters under his command, and dealing with these undead is as simple as eating and drinking.

Moreover, Zong Shen is now an out-and-out "passive halo monster", with various group buff effects emerging one after another, which is enough to increase the combat power and recovery ability of the accompanying soldiers several times.

This advantage has been magnified at this moment, because this itself is also a part of strength and heritage.

"keep going!"

Zong waved his hand and gave the order to move on.

The ground trembled slightly as the drilling machine and the crowd advanced.

This subtle movement was transmitted along the rock mass to the depths of the mine, awakening those big undead with keen perception.

…

At the same time, in the depths of the Isa mine, in the relics of the Alliance Rebel Army.

There is an extremely wide hall here, and there are corpses everywhere, including decayed bones and resuscitated skeletons.

In the middle of the hall is an altar emitting black smoke.

On the round altar, the black smoke seemed to be solid, making it look like it was shrouded in a black beam of light from a distance.

"Roar!"

Inside the beam of light, a terrifying guy was making unconscious roars.

It only had half of its head, its skin and flesh shriveled and shriveled, its golden hair was scattered, and the remaining half of the elf's pointed ears were as dry as sticks.

Looking at the appearance, it can be seen that this guy was an elf before his death.

I saw that the robe on it was very gorgeous, even after years, it still had a kind of nobility and grace.

The world tree and the shining well of eternity are embroidered with gold and silver threads on it, and there are complicated magic runes inside.

If it wasn't for the big hole in the chest that caused the whole body to suffer irreversible damage, this robe alone would be at least a dazzling-level piece of equipment.

At this moment, the mummy of the elf had turned into a revived undead, tightly clutching a staff in the shape of a half-twig in its withered palm, and the silver moon emblem on its chest was shaking as it struggled.

Whenever its struggling movements became a little more intense, the black mist inside the altar would wrap around it.

"Roar!"

It opened its mouth so dry that its gums were exposed, and its roar was pale and feeble.

Along with its roar, one can vaguely see that half of the light blue ghost is also struggling synchronously.

Ghost's expression was extremely distorted, appearing quite painful.

"Ansel, this half of your soul and your fallen body can enjoy torture in this altar of prisoner spirits."

At this time, a huge demon stepped out from the shadows.

Its body was also shriveled and broken, and the wings behind it were broken, exposing the yellow-brown jade bones.

The purple-black scales on his body were severely broken, like dehydrated fish scales, dim in the dark depths of the mine.

It can be seen that its heart is empty and lacks the existence of a heart.

The head was also badly rotted, and of the four pairs of horns on top of the head, only one was still intact.

One of the eye sockets glowed with the crimson soul fire, and the other eye socket retained the vicious vertical pupil of the demon. This was a weird combination, making it impossible to tell whether the great demon was really dead.

"Hmph, the movement above is getting louder and louder."

"When the gate of imprisonment is opened, it will be the time for me to see the light of day again!"

"And you, poor Ansel, the graceful and honorable Prince Silver Moon, just continue to taste the pain here."

"Jie jie jie!"

The weird demon undead retains the memory of his life, and at the same time possesses the characteristics of the undead.

It cursed viciously at the altar, and then seemed to think of something interesting, Jie Jie laughed strangely, and this laughter had a very strong penetrating power, spreading along the stone wall.

Then the laughter stopped abruptly, and the ruins deep underground returned to silence.

It is only occasionally that the light of the rune ban can be seen flashing on the rock wall of the mine.

…

"Jie jie jie!"

Zong Shen frowned when he heard the faintly cold laughter.

Sound waves can travel great distances in rocks.

In the earth before the advent, the sound wave detection method was also used for underground detection.

Different acoustic reflections are analyzed using elastic waves penetrating the ground floor.

The strange laughter and howling of the undead from the ground spread through the rock wall, and then amplified through the echo vibration of the mine, so it was noticed by Zong Shen.

This is also the case with the howling of the undead reported by Dutra before.

In essence, these movements originate from the depths of the mine.

Zong Shen looked at the dark mine ahead, and the strategy module reappeared naturally.

(Hey, the ruins in the depths of the mine are actually a ban trap set up by the rebels back then. The result was tragic, but the trap was successful

Among them are several interesting existences, the boundary between life and death is blurred, and the two merge into one

For outsiders, this is a miracle, but for those involved, it is a kind of torture and punishment

Xiao Zongzi, you should have ever wondered who the owner of that [Devil Heart] is?

And why did he lose his heart deep in the mine?

Now ~lightnovelpub.net~ the answer is in front of you, waiting for your personal announcement

Don't worry, those guys in the depths of the mine are hard to deal with, but they are definitely not your opponents

Use your strength to crush them into slag!

Let us, then, move on with reverence for the days gone by! )

…

Zong Shen frowned.

"Good guy, what kind of Riddler are you talking about?"

He pouted, a little speechless about the strategy module with its own personality.

However, although the above-mentioned strategy prompt notes are a bit mysterious, they still provide a lot of information elements,

For example, "ban trap" and "the master of [Devil's Heart]" are enough for him to deduce most of the truth.
