Chapter 2030 Earthquake
300 years ago, the castle of the White Knights was tonight.

Hundreds of craftsmen are busy, and huge castles are being erected.

And below the castle, there was another construction site where dozens of shirtless knights were sweating profusely digging a deep well.

Because this place is in the hinterland of the castle, the people who can work here are basically Gu Xiaobai's loyal subordinates.

And they've been digging for more than two months.

In an era when there were no modern machinery and tools were not very handy, it was actually not easy to dig a deep well that went straight to the ground.

Digging itself is a heavy physical activity. Even for strong knights, such a digging method will cause great wear and tear on the body.

Gu Xiaobai has manufactured various auxiliary tools, but limited by the technology and materials of this era, the effects they can exert are also limited.

What is more difficult than digging is to ensure that such a deep well will not collapse.

The knights set up a simple bracket under the castle, and then used an inverted funnel-style excavation method, and every time they dug a section, they would use stones and ropes to reinforce the four walls.

At the same time, the soil and stones excavated became the building materials of the castle.

In this way, the amount of work has become much larger, but at least safety can be guaranteed.

But at this moment, Lao Feng carefully observed the length scale of the dangling rope, and said with a little excitement: "Quickly go and ask the chief to come!"

The underground cave below is about to be dug through!

Such a historic moment, of course, needs Gu Xiaobai to witness on the spot.

Next, Gu Xiaobai will start building the huge machine in this underground cave again.

Although Gu Xiaobai has not fully figured out what this machine does, it does not affect him to use the technology and materials of this era to conduct some research and reproduction.

In a short while, please invite Gu Xiaobai's knight to bring Gu Xiaobai here in a hurry.

"It's coming soon?" Gu Xiaobai looked expectant.

"There is still a thickness of about one meter, and it will be dug through." Old Feng said.

"Okay, let the people below pay attention to safety."

Digging from top to bottom, and digging into a cavity, is likely to cause a fall or even collapse.

Several knights who were in charge of digging tied ropes around their waists, and they were digging hard underneath, their shovels flying, and a hole as deep as one meter was dug out in a short time.

"Strange, why haven't you finished digging?" Old Feng muttered, according to the modern size, it should have been dug through by now.

"Maybe the inside of the cave has been repaired, and it's not so high." Gu Xiaobai mused.

"Keep digging!" Lao Feng waved his hand, and the people below were sweating profusely again.

After half an hour, there was still a piece of mud below, and even encountered some rocks.

Lao Feng was in a hurry, he took off his shirt, and asked someone to put him down in a hanging basket: "I'll dig!"

Lao Feng waved his shovel and sweated profusely for a long time. The pothole was more than two meters deep, but the bottom was still not dug through.

"Stop first, the sound is not right." Gu Xiaobai is extremely sensitive to sound, he can hear it just by listening to the sound, the bottom is solid, without any sign of hollowness.

After pondering for a while, Gu Xiaobai raised his right hand, a blue string suddenly trembled straight, and then penetrated downward.

Silently, the strings of the zither were manipulated like fingers, and penetrated straight into the soil.

Gu Xiaobai frowned again.

No!

There is no underground cave seen in the future!

How can this be?

Is the location wrong?

Gu Xiaobai closed his eyes, pulled out the long sword at his waist, wrapped the strings around the sword body, then put the sword body against his ear, and lightly plucked the strings with his right hand.

In an instant, a sound wave centered on Gu Xiaobai's strings and spread out in all directions.

The air, the earth, the rocks... there are underground currents in the distance...

All kinds of voices converged in his ears.

Although the sound of the strings was not loud, everything within a distance of several hundred meters could be clearly seen in his ears.

Just no underground caves!

Gu Xiaobai has never encountered such a strange thing.

How could such a huge underground cave disappear?
Could it be...that underground cave was also dug out by himself?

This is impossible!Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, this kind of engineering volume is huge and terrifying.

Gu Xiaobai didn't believe in evil, and dialed it again.

At this moment, he heard a huge and incomparable sound, coming from the ground.

Like a gigantic bull with a body length of several kilometers, it let out a dull "moo!!"

what sound?
Gu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and had a bad premonition.

The strings are now completely rigid, and the speed of sound transmission is very fast.

But no matter how fast the voice was, it couldn't be much faster. Before Gu Xiaobai could react, he felt a huge force coming from under his feet, throwing himself back suddenly, and then fell heavily on the ground.

In the next second, a shock like an electric shock came from all directions, making Gu Xiaobai unable to struggle for a while.The whole ground seemed to be in the shape of a wave, and all kinds of bricks were falling down from the top of the head. If it wasn't for the safety of construction, there were a lot of log supports here, and the entire roof might be crushed.

It took a long time before Gu Xiaobai realized it.

earthquake!

earthquake!
Gu Xiaobai has experienced many things, but this is the first time he has experienced an earthquake, or such an earthquake.

Even Gu Xiaobai, who had fought against the strongest storm, felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness after being jolted to the point of losing his balance or even his sense of balance.

Beside him, those loyal knights rushed towards him regardless of their own safety:
"grown ups!"

"Big head!"

"Owner!"

It took more than a minute for Gu Xiaobai to be helped up, and several arms stretched out.

Someone wiped his face, someone touched his arm.

"You are not hurt, my lord!"

"Master, get out of here, it's dangerous here!"

"I'll carry you, Grand Leader!"

Suddenly, Old Feng yelled: "Master, look!"

Gu Xiaobai was held tightly by someone, walked to the dug sinkhole, and looked down.

Old Feng was being hung on a rope, suspended in mid-air.

Under his feet, there is a hollow, like a devil with its huge mouth open, trying to devour everything.

Hole!
The underground cave he saw!
No wonder he didn't dig this cave. It turned out that this cave was created by an earthquake after they dug it!
Wait, an earthquake?
earthquake?

At that moment, a flash of light flashed across Gu Xiaobai's mind.

earthquake!

Many things that I didn't understand before suddenly figured out.

"I know what that machine below does!" Gu Xiaobai's breathing suddenly became rapid.

　I have probably thought about what to write in the next book, and then I will work hard to finish this book.
