I can downgrade maintenance

Chapter 171

"What's in that sandstorm ruins?"

"What can there be? Death beams (lasers), sun cannons (plasma weapons), steel golems (robots), ancient Cangren technology, what else can there be?"

"If Zhou Ning gets the ancient Cangren technology, wouldn't it be even more powerful?"

"What kind of wings are you adding? Cang people are dead, which proves that their road is a dead end.

I also have a little understanding of what that technology is like.If you want to play well, you need a large number of high-level craftsmen to pay attention to individuals like dragons.

Are craftsmen so easy to train?To get universal education, a large number of private schools, and qualified lecturers, can this be achieved overnight? "

"Oh, I see. Instead, you hope that Zhou Ning will take this path, so that he can only do research obediently, but the time is running out."

"He likes to walk this way. As long as he is not over-stimulated and his thinking does not change dramatically, the busier he is, the better. When he is busy, he will not be able to think seriously."

Elder Qimen was right. At this time, Zhou Ning really didn't care about the overall situation. He had already successfully involved himself in this expedition.

Because he saw pyramids, obelisks, ancient Greek buildings, Aztec temples here...

I didn’t know that I thought I came to the Earth Historic Relics Theme Park.

Of course, the relics of the theme park will not be so grand, more exaggerated than the original.

It's like a pyramid. According to Zhou Ning's visual inspection, if one is pulled out randomly, the height will be close to a thousand meters.

Moreover, judging from the section of a broken pyramid, these buildings are not mausoleums, but more like giant structures, similar to those in Cyber ​​2077.

It must be said that these creations with distinctive cultural characteristics made Zhou Ning's curiosity aroused by Guang Chengzi's obsession before become active again.

He couldn't wait to lift all the coffin lids here. If necessary, he was even willing to shovel off most of the yellow sand here, so that the entire ruin city would be exposed to the air for him to choose and use.

But in the end, he decided to continue acting as a member of the expedition first.

He believed that Hu Qi's professionalism, the treasure that could make this kind of old thief's heart, probably has something to look at.

Finally arrived at the destination, it is very easy to confirm, because there is an iconic building, the black obelisk.

With Zhou Ning's poor imagination, he can also be connected with Anubis in Egypt and Ahn'Qiraj in Silithus.

But that's enough. For him, whether it's the legend of ghosts or WOW, it's very touching.

Hu Qi commanded the team to set up camp, and said the precautions, mainly two:
1. Try not to use supernatural power.

2. Don't make any noise.

"Are you afraid of alarming someone?" Zhou Ning thought, but didn't ask.

Life must have a sense of ritual, adventure must have a sense of mystery, and spoilers will be boring.

Next, Zhou Ning was a little surprised that these peripheral members set up camps, not only quickly and well, but also let him learn a very practical small three talents.

"It's interesting..." Zhou Ning glanced at Hu Qi, thinking that this guy has such a treasure attribute that he can always dig out some powerful cannon fodder to serve him.

'Ding! 'The system prompts, Zhou Ning checks, the system deduces the three talented formations, and the big three talented formations, and also released a task: the heart of the hive capital.

He is familiar with the concept of hive capital.To put it bluntly, it is a complex of super megastructures.

For example, in Warhammer 40, billions of people live in each nest.

If it wasn't for this task, Zhou Ning really didn't expect this place to be the hive capital.

"That is to say, the ruins of the city you see now are just the tip of the iceberg?" Zhou Ning felt a little hot in his heart.

Of course, he also understands that a large internal space does not mean that there are many treasures.

Especially for him now, there are many resources, and it is no longer worthwhile for him to take big risks to obtain them.

After all, not long ago, Warhammer sold another batch of gate tickets, and in the past few days, there are still extraordinary people evacuating from the realm of chaos. Although it is rare, it has never stopped.

However, the large internal space means that there are many scenes, many factors, many variables, and interesting.

If possible, he still hopes that the exploration process can be a little more ups and downs.

However, Hu Qi is a steady person with clear goals and adhering to the fact that more things are worse than less things.

He made people rest well, and he even arranged for special large living bags so that the valuable camels could sleep for a few days.

In this way, it saves space and maintenance expenses, and it can also ensure that these camels will be as vigorous and vigorous as they came when they leave.

The ruins of the ruins at night are not safe.

The Nightmare here is a mutant among mutations, if you pull out one at random, its combat power can almost match that of the fifth-level evil beast that Zhou Ning first encountered.

Moreover, these mutated monsters generally have the ability to camouflage, look like ordinary species, and even sell miserably, obviously their intelligence is higher than ordinary.

Zhou Ning looked at it and shouted secretly, and said in his heart: "Such a strange flower, I don't know if it is the natural fighting cage that was formed by the tornado and sandstorm to raise Gu."

Although the camp is temporary, it is powerful enough. The three-talent Liuhe formation, the life-defense materials are also top-notch, and the nightmare performance has been completed without any progress.

Early the next morning, I had breakfast.After Hu Qi took out his geomantic omen to measure, the excavation operation began.

"It's here, dig!"

First remove the sand, and under the blessing of the talisman, these peripheral members turned into qualified wrestlers, and each of them can be called a qualified small engineering device.

Moreover, the equipment they carried was powerful, and soon a large sand pit with a diameter of tens of meters was dug.

With the establishment of the talisman array, the entire bunker has completed the soil-fixing effect visible to the naked eye, forming a sandstone pond with a sloped slope, just like a cement dam.

Zhou Ning knew that due to the influence of the environment here, the effectiveness of the talisman array was not good, but fortunately, this degree of soil stabilization was basically enough.

The next step is to dig a channel like a well.

This passage is likely to be the only way out afterwards, so the specification is relatively high. It is not like those ordinary tomb robbers, who can get in and out is everything, but considers possible problems such as collapse and damage caused by earthquakes.

This is also one of the reasons for setting up the talisman array.

After all, that thing is very valuable, and it is a one-off, so there is no way to recycle it.

Since it is a high standard, it is normal that it cannot be completed in one day.

When night fell, Hu Qi called people back to the camp, and set up a high-end anti-matter system on the construction site.

Obviously, Hu Qi is trying his best to prevent any accidents.

That night, a powerful nightmare came to harass.

Zhou Ning showed his hand, using the weapon to directly convert it into a fel spar, and simply and neatly swept away the nightmares wandering around the camp.

At breakfast on the third day, the attitude of several teammates towards him was obviously much more polite.

After another whole day, overlooking the entire site, it already has the effect of a large open-pit mine. The winding road-like walkway spirals down in circles, and all the sand along the way is solidified into a sandstone form.

And on the top of this big pit, the gantry crane brought up a large amount of sand bag by bag, unloaded it to the periphery of the site, and gradually piled up a thick sand wall.

Seeing that it was time to call it a day, a shrill scream sounded.

All five adventurers, including Zhou Ning, arrived at the scene soon.

"What's the situation?" Hu Qi asked in a deep voice.

"Poisonous insects!" said Li Shi, who was in charge of watching the construction site today, and raised his hand to attract, and a worm that had been cut into three pieces was suspended.

The bug was as thick as a quarter tube, more than half a meter long, sandy in color, with a vicious and ferocious appearance.

It's also a mutant species, with the ability to escape from the earth, and with such a big body, he doesn't know what kind of work he usually eats.The peripheral coolie who was bitten by it was poisoned to death immediately.

In just a few minutes, the bones, flesh and internal organs melted, swollen and disfigured, like a cloth bag filled with a large amount of viscous thick water, and the thick water was overflowing from several places such as eyes, ear canals, anus, etc., with a stench Difficult...

"Check the construction environment and start double supervision from now on."

Hu Qi's arrangement was approved on the spot.

Zhou Ning got involved, and within a short while, killed several poisonous insects.

"It looks like a nest, there should be nothing nearby."...

And so the day ended.The night was relatively peaceful, which may have something to do with Zhou Ning's raid yesterday.

On the morning of the fourth day, Zhou Ning noticed that the morale of the excavation team had not been damaged by yesterday's sudden staff reduction.He didn't know whether it was the team's excellent professional quality, or Hu Qi's ability to fool people was strong enough.

At noon, the legend of gods and ghosts was staged, and the black beetle with the size of a fist suddenly surged like a tide. The workers at the lowest level were submerged before they had time to react, and turned into bones after two or three seconds.

Jiumengzi Yu Qing, who was in charge of the work, said that this is not my fault. The ordinary perception has no meaning to these black beetles, and he does not know whether it is the environmental influence or the biological wonder.

Zhou Ning was also one of the supervisors, and he proved to Hu Qisan who rushed over that Yu Qing was not talking nonsense.

Except for the few unlucky ghosts at the bottom of the pit, Zhou Ning saved all the others working in the pit.

Zhou Ning used the flame orb made by Lihuo as a napalm bomb.

Let the fire purify all.

So this wave of black beetles were all burned to death.

Workers are afraid to go down, fearing triggering a second wave.

The five adventurers went off in person.

Soon after, artificial building materials were dug up, in the form of sloping walls.

Zhou Ning sketched it out, as if he saw a wall near the top of a giant building collapse, but was held up by the inner structure, forming a pattern like a windproof cellar...

Very good, after digging through, the inside should be the interior of the megastructure.

All five of them came alive, and Hu Qi reminded: "Be careful."

Chalky air refers to the stale air stagnated in the tomb. Due to the existence of the extraordinary, the chalky air is much more vigorous than the "miasma poison" in the mouths of the ancient people in the east of the earth.

The artificial wall is very thick, as hard as granite.

Zhou Ning expressed his understanding. Without this level of material, the ruins would have collapsed long ago.

Cautiously opened the hole, and sure enough, there was chalky air gushing out of the surface. It felt like standing on the lips of a giant and being suffocated.

Even Sha Xiu Li Shi, who was always coaxed by the dirt, couldn't bear this spray of dirt and jumped to avoid it.

However, Zhou Ning endured it until the end.

On the one hand, Xunfeng's airflow hood is not afraid of this at all, on the other hand, the system pops up a temporary task to analyze the composition of the chalky gas. After the whole process of being sprayed, the progress bar just finished.

Hu Qi looked at the sky, and said: "Today we explored around the entrance, mainly keeping and repairing the mouth."

The other four nodded to express that they had no objections, so five people entered the interior, while the coolies came down to expand the entrance and exit and build details.

The area that Zhou Ning and five people entered was very spacious, like an underground dome, at least thousands of square meters of space, and a span of tens of meters.

Zhou Ning's perception is not very good, and he can't explore far, and there is a strong dark supernatural factor here, which seriously affects the vision.

Of course, Zhou Ning has a system map, but he has to go around to open the map.

When he was about to stroll around in a small area, Hu Qi threw one after another magic light beads.

These light beads have the power of the night moon and are not affected by the dark supernatural factor, but the brightness is not good enough, it can only be said to be barely usable, the area illuminated by it feels gloomy, the atmosphere of the tomb is full, and there are many The dark corners can't see the action, which makes people feel anxious and full of imagination.

Hu Qi also used a scroll so that the news of repairing the entrance and exit could not be transmitted to the interior of the underground palace.However, Zhou Ning didn't take it seriously. One of the key points of opening the tomb was air convection, chalky gas exhalation, and fresh air inhalation. This phenomenon was probably more influential than sound.

He controls the extraordinary power of the wind, drifts like a wandering soul, and observes carefully.

The scenery here is not easy to describe, I can only say that it did not disappoint him, the fusion of classical mystery and sci-fi style is better.

To give an example, it is like the pyramid transfiguration ceremony in {X-Men: Apocalypse}.

It looks like a supernatural method, its energy is transmitted to the path and circuit, but it has a style similar to a circuit board.

Here is also a similar mix and match, which makes Zhou Ning feel paradoxical and unaware.

It took more than two hours to repair the entrance of the passage, and Hu Qi called the four to exit.Finally, a sealing cover was added to the entrance, and the details were handled in place.

fifth day.

Peripheral coolies were asked to stand by at the camp.

The five-person expedition begins.In Hu Qi's words: "We have to clean up the monsters that may exist first, and then the coolies will construct and ensure the retreat."

Hu Qi placed four puppets at the entrance and exit to guard the portal, and then the expedition officially began.

The first step is to drink tea on the spot and wait for the map to be drawn.

Hu Qi released a dozen small birds from the living bag. These small birds looked like orioles, but they had green eyes that were too bright.

Hu Qi took out the utensil used for positioning and let the birds sniff it, and then the birds fluttered away.

When they fly, the wings can vibrate to emit light dust, leaving faint traces, which looks a little magical.

Jiu Mengzi Yu Qing took a sip of wine, and said to Hu Qi: "So, as long as these little birds find the object you want, we will choose the best route to get the object, and the action will be considered complete, right?"

"It can be understood in this way." Hu Qidao: "Just like what we said before, I will give priority to guaranteeing that I get the object, and everyone's reward will not be less. Then it is free to play."

Yao Jie curled her lips: "Play freely, what can you gain by wandering around in such a ghostly place?"

Hu Qidao: "Not necessarily. As far as I know, there is Cangren's Yinzhuang near a certain square here, and there are probably high-energy spar coins there, and the number will not be too small."

Cangren's high-energy spar coin, a rare material, can be used as a special holy stone after smelting. In short, the value is very high, and it can be used by Huashen and Mahayana monks.

Yu Qing and Yao Jie's eyes brightened when they heard this, and Li Shi, who liked to clean the scimitar when he had nothing to do, also stopped his movements.

Yao Jie licked her lips and said, "You generally know the location of that square, and you don't mind making a fortune together, right?"

"Of course." Hu Qi said with a smile: "As long as I can get the things smoothly, I don't mind letting everyone make extra money. This is also the original promise."

Zhou Ning sighed in his heart, and thought to himself: "When I controlled the evil orc avatar, I was deceived and aroused by greed in the same way. In the name of helping to attack Mirage Village, I ended up being a town seal for a year."...
