Chapter 768: Dig a big tunnel

Chapter 768: Dig a big tunnel

After Xuelu returned, the biggest benefit was that there was someone to accompany Robb when he soaked in the hot spring at night.

Although Lillian occasionally came to join Robb for a soak after regaining her civilian status, she was still very shy and couldn't accompany him often, only occasionally.

But Xuelu didn't have this problem. Before it was even dark, Xuelu had already changed into her red swimsuit and was soaking in the hot spring pool, beckoning Robb with a crazy look on her face as if saying "I'm waiting for you."

Robb followed her in with a smile and handed her an "Intermediate Flame Magic Training Book".

"What? Another one of these magical books? You got another one?" Xuelu was overjoyed. She had received a beginner wind magic training book from Robb before, which taught her the basics of wind magic and even made it instantaneous, making it more convenient than her original fire magic. This almost made her want to become a wind magician.

However, Xuelu still preferred fire magic, which matched her personality, so she was super excited to improve her fire magic now that she had the book.

When Robb's hand mischievously reached for her waist, Xuelu was still seriously looking at the book, without any intention of flirting with him. "Ah! I have to try this book quickly."

She didn't even feel Robb's mischievous hand, which made him lose interest.

Xuelu then shook her hand and the book immediately turned into red magic particles and merged into her body. Then, Xuelu flicked her hand and cast "Firewall!" A wall of fire rose up in the middle of the hot spring pool and burned fiercely in the water.

"Ah, you threw it too close, you idiot," Robb shouted.

"Oh no! The water... it's getting hot," Xue Lu exclaimed.

"Are you trying to cook me?" Robb quickly jumped out of the hot spring pool, and Xuelu climbed out in a sorry state. Then they both saw that the pool was boiling and bubbles were continuously rising.

Robb looked sadly at his pool. "I don't feel like soaking anymore."

Xuelu laughed loudly. "What's the big deal? This small hot spring pool isn't comfortable to soak in anyway. Are you interested in going to the beach? The wide open sea, endless view, and swimming at the beach, that's the real beauty."

Because the Queen has granted Robb Smith Crystal Canyon in the northern border as a fiefdom, it means that area now belongs to Robb. Therefore, Robb needs a railway to connect Crystal Canyon, Stone Canyon, and Westwind City for easy management in the future.

Who knew these fools would make such a stupid mistake while building the road!

The Dwarf leader said, "Now the only solution is to reroute the railway and make it go around this mountain. But the railway shouldn't be too curved, so... there's a long stretch of track that needs to be rerouted, and it will take a lot of time to finish."

"Reroute?" Robb shook his head. "No need to reroute. It looks like we'll have to create the world's first engineering feat again."

The Dwarf leader asked in surprise, "What engineering feat?"

"A tunnel!" Robb grinned. "Dig a huge tunnel through the mountain, so the train can go straight through the mountain instead of winding around it. Then the tracks won't need to be curved."

The Dwarf leader's mouth opened wide. "How are we going to do that? Dig through the whole mountain? Even our dwarf tribe, who are good at digging tunnels, wouldn't dare to play such a big game."

Robb lightly tapped the ground and called out, "Come out, tunnel-crawling worms!"

With a loud rumble, a large hole appeared on the ground, and two hideous giant worms crawled out from underground. These were the tunnel-crawling worms that were used to dig tunnels and attack Westwind City during the invasion of the demon army. Robb had tamed them with his skills as a beast master, and they were now his pets.

Robb said to the worms, "You two follow the Dwarf leader and dig the tunnel."

The two worms nodded and quickly disappeared back into the ground.
