Chapter 254 Underground City

Chen Jin's idea is simple.

After finally finding a human in the wilderness, he would naturally not let him go.

He knew too little about the ancient world, and these "natives" could undoubtedly answer many of his questions.

Although the man in front of him was very weak and extremely fragile, which made Chen Jin very disappointed, Chen Jin still felt that there should be some high-level "things" in the place where he came from that would allow him to gain something.

After all, this is prehistoric times!

After the man confirmed that Chen Jin was indeed safe and sound, his expression suddenly became extremely respectful, and he said flatteringly: "I will take senior there right now. My name is Liang Xiao. I wonder what you call senior? Where are you from?"

"My name is Chen Jin," Chen Jin said calmly, "As for my origin, I came from the east."

Hearing this, Liang Xiao's expression became more respectful.

At this time, in his eyes, Chen Jin's image has become mysterious and unpredictable. Not only can he easily kill the unintentional ones, but he can even escape from their locks. This is something that even the supreme elders of their clan cannot do. !

This is definitely a boss!

And the boss said that he came from the east. Is it the areas that have not been ravaged by the Golden Crow and still retain their inheritance?

When talking about this matter, Liang Xiao's eyes were full of yearning for the peachland-like scene in the past, but Chen Jin knew that this was just a beautiful fantasy of humans here.

I don't know how many years ago, this place was once a spiritual and prosperous holy land for cultivating immortals. Countless immortal seekers gathered here. They ate the wind and drank the dew, practiced Taoism day and night, and devoted themselves to pursuing the opportunity to become immortals.

"It's too long." Liang Xiao shook his head, "It's difficult to calculate time underground. Everyone makes rough estimates based on their own physical condition."

However, the prehistoric era is too big, and the range that the Guangjian Tian Tower can monitor is only a million miles, so it seems to be nothing.

After entering the tunnel, Liang Xiao let out a sigh of relief, took off his mask, revealing a young face, and released the huge spiritual power fluctuations in his body without any scruples.

Each family fights and annexes each other until the final winner emerges. It is unprecedentedly powerful and glorious, but inevitably weakens and becomes a stepping stone for the rise of another family.

In short, after countless periods of great chaos and countless inheritances lost, these stories have become legends.

The ancestors of Liang Xiao and others were supervisors responsible for managing the mines, and they luckily escaped death underground.

"Basically every six hundred to one thousand years, the Golden Crow in the sky will suddenly disappear for unknown reasons. In the next fifty to one hundred years, the temperature on the ground will be briefly enough for people to move. We will This stage is called the 'developmental period'."

Chen Jin thought to himself.

Chen Jin did not destroy Liang Xiao's beautiful imagination of history, but continued to ask about what happened next.

Liang Xiao didn't know exactly what happened. He only knew that after the monks from the Supervisory Sky Tower were defeated, everything on the ground was cleared by golden fire.

Today, the place where Liang Xiao comes from is controlled by three major families.

Liang Xiao's words made Chen Jin secretly stunned. In other words, it has been at least tens of thousands of years since the Golden Crow appeared, and it may even be hundreds of thousands of years!

After such a long period of time, it is difficult to imagine how vast a space a group of extraordinary human beings would carve out underground, so it is understandable that they would lose contact with each other.

Until one day, a large number of golden crows suddenly appeared from the end of the earth. Wherever they passed, no grass grew, and even the stones burned.

While Chen Jin was thinking silently, Liang Xiao took him to a place with rocks. After pushing one of the big rocks away, a dark hole underneath was revealed.

"Every time at this time, the tribesmen will come to the ground to search for the relics left by their predecessors."

Chen Jin took a closer look and found that the cultivation level of the young man in front of him was indeed higher than that of Blue Star, but it was not much better. It was roughly equivalent to the level between Qianlong Project students and the Ninth University. It was a pair that could cross a small realm. The enemy's conventional genius.

Chen Jin looked up and saw a few golden crows hanging scattered above his head. Although it was far less grand than when he first arrived, it did seem to have grown a bit more than before.

In short, the human race here thrived underground and relied on underground creatures. Almost every overseer at that time had blood and inheritance left behind. However, after overcoming the initial survival crisis, it was the turn of the human race, which has never been lacking in the history of the human race. Power struggles and other nonsense were staged.

In other places, there may be other underground human races that have been exiled and migrated to other lands for a long time.

"These Golden Crows sound like broiler chickens from a farm."

The immortals in the forbidden area united with all the tribes to launch a deadly battle against the Golden Crow, but unfortunately they were defeated in the end, and this area became the death place it is today.

Next, the two of them walked and talked. Chen Jin got a lot of information about the human race here and vaguely pieced together what happened that year.

Each family is in charge of about 6 people, but most of them are ordinary people engaged in daily production. There are only nearly a hundred people who are qualified to practice, and there are only a dozen people above the spiritual level. The strongest ones are from the three families. The Supreme Elders all have spiritual level cultivation.

He had previously thought that the surviving Golden Crows had escaped by chance, but now it seemed that the big hand had done it intentionally.

"How long have you been underground?" Chen Jin was a little surprised.

He thought of what he saw that day, the terrifying hands hunting down the Golden Crow.

Thousands of ethnic groups are thriving and living nearby, creating a prosperous scene.

Chen Jin nodded and asked some questions about his origins.

Thinking of this, Liang Xiao even put on a flattering look on her face, put on Chen Jin a breath-isolating cloak, and said flatteringly: "Senior, is there anything else you want to ask? This junior must tell you everything you know!"

These things have happened back and forth countless times over the long years, dozens of times? Or hundreds of times? No one knew for a long time.

According to Liang Xiao, there is such a story passed down orally among their clan.

It is said that they are supervisors. In fact, it is possible that their ancestors were mine slaves. However, there were not many women underground at that time, and they were basically in the hands of the dozens of supervisors, so that is why we speculated like this.

On the contrary, what caught Chen Jin's attention was that it turned out that the disappearance of the Golden Crow was not a special situation, but a cyclical activity.

According to family records, the last time they encountered a human race from another place was three hundred years ago.

According to the records in the Giant Spirit Clan, even before the Golden Crow came, this was a cruel world where the weak and the strong preyed on the strong. How could there be any prosperity and harmonious development?

"The Golden Crow's disappearance, reproduction, and disappearance again is considered a complete 'cycle'. There are 67 such 'cycles' that can be found in records alone. Counting those records that disappeared due to chaos, it is a conservative estimate. It has to be hundreds of times!”

Like a child who never learns a lesson, he keeps making the same mistakes again and again.

But after countless generations of excavation, the underground passages have long become extremely complex, and their area is even larger than that of many countries! And because of the three-dimensional structure, without accurate location coordinates, it is impossible to find the human race in other plots.

No matter how extreme the environment is, human beings are always bound to fight among themselves.

This made Chen Jin very disappointed.

With such a weak strength, it is estimated that there is nothing good in their camp.

Moreover, it has been stuck here for so long and has not developed, so it definitely has no means of contacting high-level forces.

Although he was disappointed, Chen Jin still followed Liang Xiao patiently.

After walking down for at least 50,000 meters, a huge hole appeared in front of him.

This place is like a small city built underground. In the center are houses built of rocks. These houses are quite grand and even have forty to fifty meters high and finely carved stone statues as a foil.

There are hundreds of passages extending densely around the city, and many people can be seen walking through them. Some are holding mushrooms for consumption, and some are carrying prey returned from hunting.

This orderly scene surprised Chen Jin. The scale of the camp was much larger than he had imagined.

"Senior, I will take you around for a while, but your status is somewhat special. Can you please put on the mask first?"

Liang Xiao took out the mask he was wearing before and asked cautiously. Hearing this, Chen Jin glanced at him thoughtfully, but did not refuse. He reached out and put the weird mask on his face.

Then, under the leadership of Liang Xiao, Chen Jin visited around.

The small city in front of you is mainly a residential area, divided into three parts by the three major families. The center is for core disciples to live, and the surrounding areas are the residences of slaves who are not qualified to practice.

The hundreds of nearby passages have their own purposes, some leading to other plots, and some leading to special areas such as the planting area, the research and forging area, the livestock area, the training area, the trading area, etc.

Chen Jin was not interested in the life of the local people. After a few casual glances, he asked Liang Xiao to take him to the trading area.

But soon, he was disappointed again. This place mainly traded some daily utensils such as mushrooms and underground biological meat. There was only one shop responsible for transactions between monks, which was jointly opened by the three major families.

The main store was filled with weapons and armor that looked rather crudely made, including the weird clothes Liang Xiao was wearing.

The selling prices of these things range from 5 to 40, and it is not clear what currency people here use.

Suddenly, Chen Jin's eyes moved and he said softly "Hey".

He saw a bronze sword placed among a pile of weapons.

It can be seen that this war sword is made of the same material as his bronze war sword, but it seems to be mixed with many impurities and looks a bit dark. The stone plate placed below it is engraved with [Fifty] the words

Noticing Chen Jin's gaze, Liang Xiao whispered: "Senior, are you interested in weapons made of 'green glass ore'? This 'green glass ore' is indeed magical and has extremely high energy conversion efficiency. It is said that one of our ancestors That’s why I came here just to dig the ‘green glass mine’.”

Liang Xiao's words made Chen Jin nod slightly, thinking that this bronze-like material was called "green glass".

At this time, Liang Xiao said again: "It's a pity that this sword has too many impurities, otherwise it should be qualified to enter the 'back room'."

"Oh?" Chen Jin raised his eyebrows, "Is there a back room?"

"Yes," Liang Xiao nodded, "these weapons outside are sold together, while the monks in the back room sell them on consignment. Sometimes good things will appear, but the prices are usually much higher than outside."

Chen Jin nodded slightly: "Let's go and have a look."

"Yes," Liang Xiao said respectfully, "Senior and junior have a life-saving grace. If you see something later, just say so, and junior will buy it for senior even if he loses everything."

Hearing this, Chen Jin glanced at Liang Xiao meaningfully, but didn't say much and just stepped inside.

After passing through the lobby, you can see the passage leading to the back room. An old man with a spiritual level of 2 is lazily guarding the door.

When he saw Liang Xiao, he said "yo" and said, "Isn't this the young master of the Liang family? Are you here to consign or buy this time?"

"Just take a stroll." Liang Xiao said.

The old man nodded and moved his gaze to Chen Jin.

"Who is this"

"My clan brother." Before Chen Jin could speak, Liang Xiao said first.

The old man gave Chen Jin a strange look: "Why is this young man still wearing a mask underground?"

Liang Xiao smiled apologetically and said, "My brother practices secret arts and has a unique face that he doesn't want to show to others."

Hearing this, the old man didn't ask any more questions and turned sideways to let the two of them in.

It wasn't until he passed through the corridor and the old man's figure disappeared that Liang Xiao whispered: "Everyone here is a little xenophobic, so this junior made this move. Senior, please don't blame me."

Chen Jin looked at Liang Xiao with a half-smile, until the latter lowered his head uncomfortably, and then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them continued walking forward, and soon arrived at the back room.

The person responsible for receiving the two of them here is a pretty little girl. She has no cultivation level, but has been naturally strengthened by the Hongmeng Qi to about the second level of the mortal level.

"Seniors, please feel free to choose. If you see something you like, just ask the junior for a price." The little girl said with a smile.

After saying that, he stepped aside respectfully.

Chen Jin took a look at it, stopped paying attention, and began to browse the goods.

There are finally some "high-end goods" here. The most common ones are weapons and armor made of green glass ore, and there are even those that sell green glass ore raw materials directly.

The best quality of these weapons can barely reach the same level as the Bronze Zhan Ge, and the price is more than 2,000.

In addition, there are some strange things, such as battle puppets that look very advanced, magic weapon fragments that exude strong spiritual power fluctuations, strangely shaped ancient creations with unknown uses, etc.

However, most of these things are seriously damaged and aged. They were obviously brought back by the local humans who took advantage of their growth period to find them on the ground.

The most expensive thing in the whole room was a jet black dagger, priced at fifteen thousand.

"This is a dagger made of xuanli ore," the girl on the side introduced in a timely manner.

"Xuanli Mine is a treasure that can only be produced in small quantities in the core area of ​​​​Green Li Mine. It is far more stable and powerful than Green Li Mine. Even if thousands of years pass, its power will not be reduced at all. .”

"The only drawback is that it is extremely heavy and cannot be driven by ordinary people. However, with the cultivation level of the senior, you naturally don't have to worry about this."

As the little girl's sweet voice fell, Chen Jin's expression couldn't help but become a little weird.

The material of this dagger is also familiar to him. Isn't it the black iron equipment in the Giant Spirit Clan camp?

However, compared to the pocket dagger in front of me, which is only half the length of an arm, the giant spirits have a lot more treasures in their arsenal. Not only do they have all kinds of weapons, they even have three pieces of armor.

Thinking of this, Chen Jin glanced at Liang Xiao funny and said via voice message: "If I want this thing, can you buy it for me?"

After hearing this, Liang Xiao couldn't help but have a look of heartache on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the senior likes it, the junior will sell it off. Although this thing is precious, the junior can still afford it!"

Looking at Liang Xiao's twisted face, Chen Jin chuckled: "Forget it, Chen is not in the habit of owing favors to others for nothing."

After saying that, he turned around and said, "There is nothing Chen likes here, so I will leave first."

Seeing that Chen Jin was about to leave, Liang Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Senior is joking. I have a life-saving favor for you. This is a huge favor. What does a small Xuanli dagger mean? If this is the case here If you don’t have anything that senior likes, it’s better to go to junior’s mansion. Junior still has a few collections.”

Before he finished speaking, Chen Jin suddenly stopped, turned to look at Liang Xiao coldly, and said calmly: "Okay, there is no need to pretend anymore. You have tried so hard to cover up my identity and please me in every possible way. How can I?" Can you tell that you want something from me? Just tell me why you put so much trouble into it."

Chen Jin spoke very directly, but the conversation between the two of them was conducted in the form of sound transmission, so the little girl would not hear it.

Seeing that her little thoughts were exposed by Chen Jin, Liang Xiao lowered her head in embarrassment. It wasn't until Chen Jin showed an impatient look on his face that he looked up as if he had made a huge determination and said cruelly: "Junior, I hope senior can help." I will take the title of head of the family!"

After hearing Liang Xiao's answer, Chen Jin showed an expression of anticipation, turned around and left without the slightest interest.

Seeing this, Liang Xiao immediately became anxious and quickly sent a message: "Senior, just ask for anything you want. I can definitely offer a price that satisfies my senior!"

But Chen Jin remained unmoved. When he was about to pass through the passage and leave, Liang Xiao finally couldn't help but shouted eagerly: "The junior can help the senior pass the restrictions of the Sky Supervisor Tower!!!"

After the words fell, Chen Jin stopped and glanced at him in surprise.

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and said respectfully: "This is not the place for conversation. I would like to invite senior to come to the junior's residence to have a detailed discussion."
