Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 247: We are professionals when it comes to drilling holes!
Boom--!
The trembling feeling of the earth is transmitted from a distance to the feet. Under the dense dark clouds, the dark 'wave' is beating in the direction of the three people. In a daze, it will even make people feel as if they are on the sea in a storm. the illusion.

It's over... It's over!

This was the only thought that came to Quan Momo's mind when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Big... boss, what... what... should we do now?!"

Quan Momo looked to Xin Lailai aside as if asking for help, almost crying from the horror of the scene in the distance.

"It's very simple, run, or do you think you can kill them all by yourself?"

Xin Lailai glanced at Quan Momo and without any hesitation, reached out and pressed down on the ground beneath his feet.

Rock creation magic·earth cracking.

Earthy yellow light bloomed from Xin Lailai's hand. After experiencing the baptism of the world of God Eaters, Xin Lailai was no longer surprised by this kind of strange group rushing home.

In addition, in the original background of the Black Bullet World, there were already a large number of gastrea animals active in the wild. Xin Lailai had already been prepared to encounter the beast tide before entering, and had already considered the corresponding measures. measure.

When in doubt, dig three and fill one.

His storage space has long been prepared with supplies such as oxygen bottles to ensure long-term activities underground. Xinlailai is even ready to dig directly from the ground to the target location.

Buzz-!
The ground beneath Xin Lailai's feet began to surge rapidly under the influence of magic, but the next second, Xin Lailai's face suddenly changed under his mask.

I saw that the Earth Splitting Technique, which was supposed to tear open a large crack more than ten meters deep, only created a gap half a meter deep and three centimeters wide and then stopped.

How can it be? !
Xin Lailai looked at the scene in front of him and his pupils shrank slightly. He had already confirmed it when he fought with Zhizi Yingyin. Although the power of his magic will be weakened in this world, it can still exert 50% of the power under normal circumstances. ~70% effect.

But in the current situation, let alone 50%, I am afraid that even 5% of the effect may not be achieved.

"Element concentration? No, that's not right, the problem is the soil itself!"

——The land in this area has a strong inhibitory effect on the elements!
Xin Lailai looked at the slightly gray land beneath his feet and instantly realized what the problem was.

'Lailai, front! '

Ling Yuzi's urgent reminder sounded in his mind, and a scene instantly appeared in Xin Lailai's mind. Dozens of silver-white rays of light suddenly bloomed in the dark tide that was crushing towards them.

Fuck, are you still coming? !
"Get down!"

Without enough time to escape or dodge, Xin Lailai roared and instantly switched Yuan Mo into the divine machine form, unfolding a two-meter-high tower shield in front of him, while Ling Yuzi held down Quan Momo's head and led him away. They fell down directly behind Xin Lailai.

boom--!
The next second, dozens of silver-white light beams bombarded down, accurately hitting the dark shield, making an earth-shaking loud noise.

Xin Lailai groaned, looking at the silvery white mist around him that turned into steam under the high temperature, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately generated a circle of magic chips, covering himself, Ling Yuzi and Quan Momo.

The silvery white mist hit the spell chip and condensed into small silver water droplets rolling down the spell chip.

In the original work, there are gastrea animals that compress mercury and spray it out as weapons. If it were pure mercury, let alone him, even Quan Momo's physique would not be able to withstand it.

But now they are in the post-mutation black bomb world. Although it looks similar in appearance and physical properties, God knows what it will be.

Boom boom boom!
Intense bombing-like loud noises continuously exploded from the outside of the shield. Xin Lailai's tiger's mouth trembled, and the softness in his body crazily resolved the huge impact from the shield.

If it weren't for the high knockback resistance bonus provided by the shield and the fighting master, even if it could block this thing, it would have been blown away by now.

Damn it, we can't go on like this!

Xin Lailai watched as Yuan Mo's durability dropped by 1 point in just ten seconds, and the expression under the mask was gloomy as if water was dripping from his face.

He never expected that there would be a special land with extremely high elemental resistance in the Black Bullet World, making his earth magic almost completely ineffective here.

Recklessly?

Don't be kidding, although there is no specific statistics, the number of gastrea animals that I just saw at a glance is at least one hundred thousand.

Moreover, he now has no idea whether the gastrea animals in this world have undergone any changes under the influence of the abyss. If they become the second-level mini-boss per capita, even 100 of them will not be enough for him to give away.

In an instant, a large number of plans flashed through Xin Lailai's mind, and then he quickly made a decision and communicated in his mind:
"Ling Yuzi, take care of Quan Momo and prepare to use their attack to retreat..."

Xin Lailai said in his head, turned his head, and then suddenly froze.

Behind him, Quan Momo and Ling Yuzi disappeared, replaced by a large pit two meters wide and three meters deep. At the bottom of the pit, Quan Momo had a look on his face. He held a small shovel in panic and dug down quickly, while he kept muttering words that he was going to die.

"Lailai, it seems we can continue hiding underground..."

Ling Yuzi looked at Quan Momo in front of him, put the earth and rocks excavated by the opponent into a storage bag behind him, and looked at Xin Lailai. "

"..."

He remembered that only half a minute had passed since Quan Momo hid behind him until now?

Xin Lailai looked at the big pit behind him, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

He suddenly understood why it was said that the contractors of Apocalypse Paradise would hardly be able to find anyone as soon as a war started. With their ability to dig holes, it would be impossible to find this group of miners without tearing up the entire earth's crust.

'Sure enough, it was the right choice to take this guy along according to the Star Pointer's instructions. '

Seeing that he no longer had to take risks and choose other ways to escape, Xin Lailai held up his shield, jumped hard, and landed firmly next to Quan Momo, making a dull sound.

"Biao... a great performer?"

Quan Momo looked at Xin Lailai who suddenly fell next to him, and was startled, and the movements of his hands were a little slower.

"Continue, if you survive today, you can freely choose one of the previous contracts to terminate."

Free choice to terminate a contract? !

"Okay...Okay!!"

Hearing Xin Lailai's words, Quan Momo's eyes suddenly became extremely bright, as if he suddenly saw a slave who wanted to be redeemed. He quickly lowered his head and dug a hole with great excitement, even waving his arms. The afterimage is coming.

Xin Lailai held up his shield and continued to guard against possible attacks from above, working with Ling Yuzi to protect Quan Momo.

……

10 minute later.

"Huh... I was scared to death, but luckily I survived."

In an underground space, Quan Momo wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat slumped against the wall, hugging his small mining shovel, his face full of a happy expression of surviving the disaster.

Xin Lailai took out an oxygen regulating device from the storage space. After adjusting the parameters, he placed it in a corner of the space. He glanced at Quan Momo who was sitting on the ground and looked at the five things in front of him. meters square underground space.

There is a saying, in terms of mining and digging holes, if the miner of Apocalypse Paradise said that he was second, he estimated that few in the entire star world would dare to admit that he was first.

After all, just now, he witnessed with his own eyes how an Apocalypse miner, whose combined physical strength and strength attributes did not exceed 50 points, led two people to dig 10 meters deep underground in 400 minutes and cut out a square of underground space.

"As promised before, you can choose one contract to terminate. You can start choosing now."

Xin Lailai said, looking at Quan Momo. When the little girl heard this, she was stunned, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said:

"I want to get rid of the one that prevents me from peeing at will!" She had already thought about it. She had only been in this world for less than half a day, and she had already encountered so many things. As long as she continued to follow Xin Lailai, she would definitely You will encounter more terrifying things, so it is important to take back your right to be scared to death at any time.

"..."

Xin Lailai looked at Quan Momo with an "I'm so smart" expression on his face. He was stunned by the other person's words and was silent for a while. He silently opened the imprint interface and deleted the contract he drew up casually prohibiting casual urination and defecation.

"Yes... By the way, shouldn't you sign the same one again immediately after the cancellation?"

Quan Momo asked worriedly. She was astute and immediately thought of this possibility.

"No, you can pee if you want."

Xin Lailai said expressionlessly. After several hours of contact, he had almost confirmed that if Quan Momo's IQ was 200 when mining, his IQ when saving his life was 50. Other than that, The average IQ of the opponent fluctuates between -10 and 0.

"Great!"

Quan Momo jumped up from the ground happily, with a "I am really smart" expression on his face, completely unaware that he was just redeeming the deed of prostitution that he was forced to sign.

"I'll come here today. If you want to rest, you can go and see her. If anything happens, just come to her. Do you understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xin Lailai glanced at Quan Momo, and after giving an explanation, he walked aside, took out various instruments from the storage space, took out the soil and stone samples dug by Quan Momo, and cut out a small Put a thin slice on the portable experimental bench and start studying it quietly.

He must confirm the specific cause of his magic failure as soon as possible. Even if he cannot improve the situation, he must at least know what he is suffering from.

So, Xin Lailai expanded his psychic field, compressed it to the extreme, and condensed all his perceptions on that small sample. Then he carefully used the instrument to condense a standard unit of earth element, and began to analyze the tray. The clods of soil on the ground began to stir.

Buzz-!
I saw that the soil on the tray reacted immediately under the influence of the earth element, but the reaction began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye in the next second.

In just a few seconds, the soil in front of him became completely silent. No matter how Xin Lailai used the earth element to induce it, there was no response. It was not until Xin Lailai increased the amount of earth element that there was weak movement again. .

Seeing this, Xin Lailai nodded slightly, looked calmly at the instrument monitoring real-time data on the side, and called up the monitoring data graph of those few seconds.

After a while, pictures like topographic maps appeared on the screen. Xin Lailai stared at the pictures on the screen. After looking at them for a while, he looked back at the soil in his hand.

"Did it start in this area?"

Xin Lailai condensed a small ring-shaped magic chip, placed it against a certain area of ​​the soil, and began to cut.

Time passed quietly, and Quan Momo's snoring sounded. After watching Xin Lailai's test process curiously for a while, she found that Xin Lailai was repeating the same things completely boringly, and she quickly felt bored. , moved out his little bed in the corner and took a nap.

Ling Yuzi controlled the alchemy doll, sat cross-legged, and expanded his psychic field to help Xin Lailai observe the situation on the surface and be on guard against possible attacks at any time.

The sound of grunting and cutting ore constantly echoed in the underground space. In front of the experimental bench, Xin Lailai was like a machine that would not tire, accurately repeating test operations again and again.

This is not a matter of limited conditions, nor is it a matter of his limited level. Those things can only speed up the process at best, but it is impossible to skip it.

In fact, in many cases, so-called research does not have the constant surprises and surprises that some people imagine.

On the contrary, most of the time, research involves repeating operations over and over again, trial and error, trial and error, and trial and error again...

Using the simplest and most direct method to eliminate wrong answers one by one and approach the correct answer bit by bit is the essence of most research.

dull?Of course, you may not feel anything if you repeat something once, but when you repeat it thousands or tens of thousands of times, the feeling of knowing that the answer is right in front of you but still not being able to catch it will scratch you like a cat's paw. Move your heart.

But even so, as a researcher, you must not be a little impatient. In other words, enduring this boring process is the most basic quality of a qualified researcher.

If you can't bear even this boring thing, it's better not to become a Dharma Master, otherwise you will end up accomplishing nothing in the end.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Finally, when the hour hand on the mechanical clock on the experimental table unconsciously rotated four and a half times, Xin Lailai finally stopped.

He found it.

"Is this the substance?"

Xin Lailai looked calmly at the three crystals about the size of gravel placed in a clean beaker. The expression on his face showed neither joy nor disappointment, but only a sense of natural peace.

It took four and a half hours to find three grains of gravel from a piece of earth and rock the size of a palm, and then tested all the data of these three 'gravels'

It can't be said to be slow, but it can't be said to be very fast either.

But he got the result he wanted and that was enough.

"Call her up, it's time for her to work."

Xin Lailai looked at Quan Momo, who was lying comfortably on the bed, sleeping with a pillow in his arms, and spoke in a calm voice.

Ling Yuzi nodded, and with a flick of his finger, a palm made of magic chips appeared in front of Quan Momo's forehead, and flicked the other person's forehead.

"Ah...what...what happened! Is there another monster coming?!"

Quan Momo suddenly jumped up from the bed after being startled, looking around nervously, and at the same time wiped the saliva from his mouth.

"No, but there is something I need you to do. If you do it well, you will be free of a contract."

Xin Lailai put the beaker in his hand in front of Quan Momo, looked at him calmly, and said:

"You said before that you can directly extract pure ore from rough ore, right?"

"Yeah, this is the basic skill of our miners!"

As soon as he heard that Xin Lailai actually asked about his special skills, Quan Momo immediately raised his neck proudly, patted his chest, and said confidently.

"Really? That's better. Then please extract all the substances in that piece of adobe."

Xin Lailai nodded slightly, put the beaker in Quan Momo's hand, pointed at the three gravel-sized objects inside, and said in a calm tone.

"?"

Quan Momo looked at the three gravel-sized crystals in the beaker, and then looked at the fist-sized gap in the adobe on the side. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a vague fear.

"Um, Mr. Performer, can I ask, what is the approximate content ratio of this thing?"

"I haven't tested this specifically yet, but on average, you should be able to find two or three grains in an average of 1dm of soil and stone."

Xin Lailai glanced at the dirt behind him, thought for a while, and said.

"..."

Hearing this, Quan Momo looked at the three 'gravels' in the beaker in her hand, and then at the clod of soil that was almost as tall as her. She suddenly regretted why she had agreed so happily.

It is true that she is a miner, but miners only dig out minerals from the soil. I have never heard of people digging out sand from the soil!

……

　PS: Friendly reminder, the average volume of a grain of sand is about 0.03mm, while a 1.5m wide soil block is 3.375×10mm
