"Lisa, they're taking the lead again."
Deep and dark underground,
Star fall March 2, 837, Moldavia, unnamed underground tunnel.
The bright light of the pyroxene lamp sways in the corridor. With the sound of footsteps, we can see five figures walking slowly on the wall of the corridor.
This is an unnamed tunnel nearly 1000 meters underground in Moldavia. In order not to consume oxygen and be wary of possible flammable gases, this group of people in mage's robes carefully use pyroxene lamps that do not need oxygen as lighting tools. Every time they walk a certain distance, they will carefully use magic to detect the situation in the tunnel ahead, In order to avoid the unexpected collapse or corridor collapse accident - although the collapse will not save the lives of these high-level silver mages, they are still unable to get back to the ground from the depth of 1000 meters, and can only wait for the rescue of their tutor.
There's no doubt that's not what the team wants.
"Well, I really can't help it. After all, I have the first name with her."
In the corridor, a rather rude voice suddenly complained: "it's really lucky for her to find the first underground world entrance in the whole empire."
The owner of the voice is a dwarf. He is holding a pyroxene lamp and chattering: "the reward for the first discoverer is three times that of the others. Plus the reward for discovering the crystal grass and Moonlight crystal, it's hard for us to compete for the first place in this new school year."
"Nick, don't beat your morale all the time!"
On one side, a rather dissatisfied female voice scolded: "although Lisa has the advantage of the starter, she did not confirm the specific ecological map of the underground world, nor did she draw a road map, so she came back directly... We have plenty of opportunities to surpass her!"
"Come on, Karin, at least 5000 credits. How long will it take us to make up for it?"
It is estimated that the long time of underground exploration makes both of them quite bored. This time, they find the opportunity and quarrel with each other. Nick and Karin are discreetly investigating the way ahead while contradicting each other. Behind them, a man and a woman who seem to be brother and sister are also quietly communicating with each other.
"Brother, our dragon's appetite is getting bigger and bigger... Half of the reward of the last task goes into his stomach."
Amira's tone was helpless. The girl with long blonde hair was carrying a strange grass plant that looked like a trumpet. It was a magic plant commonly used in underground exploration. It could quickly convert oxygen under the stimulation of magic, so that the exploration team would not be able to continue because of lack of oxygen. She is quite sad to his brother said: "if this goes on, we may be poor by it."
"My sister, it's not possible. Maybe we've been eaten out of money, or I'll get a new staff last time."
The girl's object of complaint is a young man with long blonde hair. His right hand is holding a broken staff. He is standing at the end of the team, holding a magic drawing in his left hand, which automatically records the corridor the team has passed. Ivan shows the same helpless expression as his sister: "my Lord says that our dragon is far superior to the same kind because of its talent, So the amount of food is three times that of the ordinary white dragon... It ate 150 credits of magic crystal in two days, plus 200 pounds of Warcraft meat. No matter how fast our team can complete the task, it can't eat as fast as it can! "
But standing aside, Alva didn't join the conversation. At this time, he was holding a compass like instrument, frowning and murmuring.
"It's strange that we've reached 1800 meters underground. Instead of reducing our magic power, our magic power has soared four times... Where did the first name dig? Giant magic crystal veins? "
It can be seen that the seventh prince could not understand the data displayed by the instrument in his hand, but he did not find any dangerous signs, so he continued to explore with his partners with doubts.
The five people walking under the ground were the students of Joshua, the first team of lindongbao college.
At this time, more than 50 teams of lindongbao college have joined the ranks of underground exploration. A well prepared and well-equipped team of spellcasters, with their own demons, puppets, and even contract elements, has entered the mysterious underground corridor to explore their end. The first team, no doubt, is in addition to the first batch of tunnel diggers, The furthest and deepest team.
The five members of the first team are among the best in the college. Apart from the newly enrolled Prince Alva, the others have been enrolled for about five years. Under the education of many elite tutors, they have grown from ordinary people to silver high-level casters in these five years. They only need a little bit of opportunity to successfully touch the golden barrier.
A large number of silver high-level students who are under 20 years old and have a great chance to advance to gold - although the incredible success rate has the convenience brought by the great magic tide, we must also recognize the superior education system of lindongbao college. In addition, it is not without reason that the Empire and Moldavia have increased funding year after year, because even students who are not very outstanding in personal ability and may not be able to advance to gold have sufficient knowledge reserves. They have their own skills, whether as experts in magic biology or as researchers in magic technology.In fact, without these students, Moldavia would never have built so many magic factories.
"The concentration of magic is not a problem. We make money to find veins."
Hearing Alva's murmur, Ivan walked forward. He followed the crowd to jump over a small area of collapsed Star Mound, shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Lisa, they found the Moonlight crystal vein just because of the abnormal magic wave. The reward of 2500 credits is enough to buy a complete set of the latest generation of magic mecha. It's really enviable."
Underground exploration is too boring. It's always a dark corridor. The brown and gray soil and rocks are a great test for the psychological quality of the explorers. Therefore, in order to avoid problems caused by long-term boring exploration, the people in the first team will have some discussions from time to time to avoid inattention.
In this way, while chatting, they continued to walk along the downward corridor for a distance, and they came to the bottom of the earth near 2000 meters.
"Wait, something's wrong. It's strange from the beginning!" All of a sudden, Nick, the dwarf who was walking in the front, whispered, his expression was solemn, and then he became very bad in a moment: "no, it seems that this is not the first dig..."
There was no time to say the next words. In an instant, the corridor at the bottom of people's feet was like a collapsing ice layer. The fragile soil layer mixed with scattered rocks fell down, And in such a sudden situation encountered in the moment, the first team of people immediately showed a very strong quality.
"Floatation!"“ Detect life“ Nitrogen barrier
Before falling for a second, five people stopped in the air under the effect of floatation, and a light blue atmospheric barrier appeared around them, turning into an indestructible wall to resist all attacks. Amira's eyes were shining red at this time. She frowned tightly and said to her friends quickly: "a lot of life reactions! We should have come to the underground world Lisa and they found out! "
"The corridor just now is much smaller than the previous one. It should not be excavated by Chu Hao, but by local creatures themselves!"
Nick was busy saying what he hadn't said before. He took out a magic wand of Tomahawk type from his waist. There was an obvious trigger at the handle of the wand. The dwarf skillfully took out several large alchemy bullets engraved with the symbols of "burning", "freezing" and "blasting", and then put them into the personal magic weapon that he knew was an axe, a magic wand or a blunderbuss, Ready for the perfect fight: "but whatever it is, wait to eat my elemental bomb!"
Dwarf body began to appear all kinds of enhanced magic luster, and other people are also ready for the corresponding.
Unlike before, the experienced first team had already planned to fight in all sudden situations, but it was just a sudden collapse. Before they began to explore underground, they had already prepared the corresponding plan. According to the preparatory plan, even if they met a dragon Lich who lived in seclusion underground, they were confident that they could escape.
But obviously, they don't need to fight against the Dragon lich, who usually hovers from the golden peak to the first stage of Jiyi. After the soil and rocks under the people's bodies completely collapse, they can clearly see the huge underground space behind the collapse under the illumination of the pyroxene lamp.
Slime molds shimmering, underground bats panicking because of the huge sound, thick to abnormal magic waves, and strange but extremely regular "Hua La" sounds.
"Down?"
"Of course, we're here to explore the underground world!"
The five people were excited, but they suppressed their joy. Under Karin's gentle chant, they began to slowly lift their floatation skills, approached the ground, and finally landed on the collapsed mound.
"This is the underground world? It's kind of empty. "
Alva looked around and sighed: "I thought it would be a mushroom forest, or an environment similar to insect nest... I didn't expect it to be so simple."
With that, he planned to step forward and look at it carefully, but then Ivan held out his hand and held him.
Alva turned his head in doubt, but what he saw was Ivan's serious face.
"Hostile."
At the moment after this sentence was uttered, Alva's pupils shrank slightly, and he also suddenly felt a weak but extremely solid hostility - even the intention to kill - rapidly converging towards his own people.
"Deng!"
Nick did not hesitate to turn the pyroxene lamp in his hand and shine it in the direction of hostility. Immediately, he could see countless black and brown insects fleeing from the fungus group under the light. The next moment, in the dark, where the light could not reach, two golden lights suddenly came on.Soon, these two points became four, eight, ten... A few seconds later, more than 30 golden light spots approached the crowd in silence and came into the light range.
It's a snake... No, it's the size of a python.
More than a dozen black python, more than 20 meters long, slowly crawled out of the darkness. Their whole body exuded strange magic waves, as if they could absorb the light around them. With the "clatter" of their bodies rubbing against rocks, the Python's indifferent pupils scanned the five people in front of their eyes, These strange creatures living deep in the earth opened their mouths full of sharp teeth to the crowd and gave out a silent shriek.
Suddenly, the dark brown magic surge, the first team around the soil began to rapid deformation, into a sharp rock blade, toward the crowd pressure!
"Start fighting!"
Without any tension, the first Squadron, who has been through many battles and even slaughtered all the sharks and lizards along the coast of the Arctic ice sheet, has long been used to attacking and being attacked. This sudden battle in the underground world has long been expected by them.
Rather, this is why one's disciples are so looking forward to this dangerous exploration.
……
"Karin, add fire."
Deep underground, in the middle of a messy battle scene, the exhausted first team of five lit a bonfire.
Nick, a dwarf who has set up a barbed wire grill and smeared with olive oil, is carrying something. When he returns to the simple kitchen utensils, the red haired girl skillfully lights a big fire under the iron plate of the frying pan.
Zila, suddenly, the familiar oil fragrance appeared in the underground world, but the fragrance did not spread, but was bound in a certain range by magic.
On the other side, Ivan and Amira brothers and sisters also came from a distance, their arms full of clean luminous fungi, as well as a variety of strange herbs.
"I'm so lucky that there's Kaman white grass here. It's the main material of energy potion." The youth said with emotion.
"It's not worth a bit more than the crystal grass that Lisa found." The girl shook her head.
On the other side, Prince Alva is skillfully using his own pocket knife to quickly dissect the python body that Nick carried.
The techniques obtained from the disintegration of countless sharks and lizards are no different when applied to the python. The former prince, now the adventurer, is making the best use of his superb Sabre skills inherited from the royal family. In just a few seconds, the python with tough skin is better than steel, and its muscles are as tangled as the roots of a tree. He easily decomposes the python into pieces of smooth and solid meat.
"Is the sauce ready?"
"Ready, so is the sauce."
"The meat is cut, too."
"Well, I'll take care of it next."
When everything was ready, the dwarf's eyes suddenly flashed a ray of light. He used magic to get the snake meat cut by Alva, and then he took out iron rods from his waist pocket and put them on the barbed wire grill.
[Pu Shao underground Python]
[raw materials required: an unnamed underground Python]
[200g granulated sugar]
Salt and pepper 150g
[life holy water 50g]
[200g sauce]
[dispel poison magic (twice)]
[Kaman white Grass Powder 50g]
Luminescent fungus extract 100 [gram]
[effect: unknown]
"Is this luminous fungus edible?"
On one side, Alva looked at the dwarf's skillful sauce preparation, and then put it on the snake meat. The delicious smell made him swallow his mouth water subconsciously. But even so, for the safety of his digestive system, he cautiously put forward his opinion: "that thing... Doesn't smell a little smelly?"
"Stink is the smell of dead fungi rotting mucus. In fact, if you wash the normal luminous fungi clean, you can smell a fragrance similar to wood fat."
Nick, who used to live underground all the year round, shook his head. He held a washed spherical fungus in his hand to correct the prince's misunderstanding of luminous fungus: "the reason why this thing can emit light is because of the magic colloid in its center... It can be said that the colloid in its core is almost the same as slym, which is pure magic colloid, Of course you can. "
With that, Nick took a brush and put a layer of magic colloid with fluorescence on the snake meat. Suddenly, the smell became stronger."Fungi don't matter... But can this kind of creature really be eaten?"
On the other side, Amira hesitated and said: "this Python can control the soil, rocks and water, use magic, it seems to be intelligent life... Is it really OK to eat it?"
"Some Warcraft can still talk, the most important thing is delicious, you see, the dragon, and civilization, but after the dragon was attacked, many people ate its meat."
On one side, Ivan said with indifference: "it has been detected for a long time. This Python is non-toxic and nutritious. What's more, we have added 50 grams of holy water of life. It's OK even if we lick the blade full of poison... We've been exploring underground for so long, so we should add some protein."
"Yes."
On the other side, Karin nodded with approval: "you see, Lisa is full of dishes because she has eaten dry food for several weeks. We are professional explorers. We can't learn to take materials from the surrounding environment at any time to supplement nutrition like her."
The speed of Pu Shao snake meat was very fast. Soon, everyone began their first meal after entering the underground world.
"Brother, feed me!"
"Really... If it goes on like this, be careful not to get married." In the face of Amira who still doesn't want to touch snake meat, Ivan can only reluctantly comply with his sister's willfulness. He whispered: "open your mouth."
"Ah ~"
On the other hand, Nick listened to the "mmm, mmm!" coming from his ear‘ It's delicious! "‘ Delicious! " Wait for the sound, while chewing snake meat, feel the effect of their cooking products.
"There is a certain energy to restore the effect, which should be the reason for Kaman's white grass and fungus essence. Originally, slime mucus plus Kaman white grass powder stirring is the easiest energy agent."
While eating meat, the dwarf thought, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the effect of Pu Shao Python: "it can restore the magic of soil and water properties, and enhance the perception of night light to a certain extent... Write it down, the snake meat tastes great."
After roughly writing the cooking process, materials and effects of this time, Nick contentedly put away the simple recipe in his hand. He could vaguely see that the other pages of this simple recipe had been densely written, and the whole book was almost full.
A few days later.
Returning to his own territory, Joshua immediately went to the underground laboratory of lindongbao college after hearing the emergency news.
There, he met the serious face of Nostradamus.
"What's the matter?"
The soldier raised his brow, and he didn't know, so he said, "what's so nervous? What's wrong with the server? Or do I need to fix the warship production line? "
"No, you underestimate the magic power of the Empire..." shaking his head, the old mage showed a slight smile on his face. But soon, his expression returned to seriousness. Standing on the tempered glass plate outside the laboratory, he turned to Joshua and said, "why do you want to come back... Have a look at this."
Shrugging his shoulders, Joshua turned his head. Instead of going to the window, he looked straight through the wall to see where Nostradamus indicated.
It was a dying black python that used nutrient solution to support its life. Its golden pupil had become numb and no longer had its original vitality.
"This is..."
At first he didn't see anything, but soon Joshua opened his eyes wide. Then he frowned and the soldier said in a deep voice, "divine power?"
"The power of the earth?"
