Chapter 710: Excavation of ruins, Heart of Perch
Zong Shen hasn't been to the [Market] for a while.
I remember that when he first landed, he had to look at it almost every day.
It was different later on. He had a higher vision and didn't like the groceries in the [market] anymore.
Really good things still need to be fought for by yourself.
But as time goes by, [the market] is also constantly changing.
It has become more and more prosperous, with more types of goods and transaction prices tending to stabilize.
As a [market] with billions of people online at the same time, it has already established its own ecosystem and has a huge transaction throughput capacity. .
Zong Shen turned on the item search function, input keywords such as "earth spell scroll" and "solidification technique" with his mind, and quickly retrieved the item he wanted.
There are actually as many as eighteen pages of related items!
Zong Shen selected for a while, and exchanged thousands of basic resources for a spell scroll of [Second Level Earth Consolidation Scroll], and spent more than two thousand dinars to buy three [Third Level Earth Consolidation Scroll].
These spell scrolls are all earth-related spells that can solidify soil or ground.
In addition, Zong Shen also found a rare item called [Pearl of Earth Gathering (Purple)].
The function of this thing is a bit like the [Water Condensing Orb (Purple)] he used to collect lake water to deal with the Balrog, except that it can only collect soil.
Up to 100 cubic meters of soil can be charged.
In addition to collecting soil, this [Earth Gathering Pearl (Purple)] can also increase the affinity of soil magic. Burying it in the soil can slowly improve the quality of the soil.
From a functional point of view, this thing is still very practical.
The price the other party listed for sale was not cheap either, and rare items are still considered precious to this day.
After paying a sum of mineral resources and magic energy crystals, Zong Shen successfully bought it.
To be honest, if it were normal times, he would definitely not go out of his way to buy this thing.
But in order to improve the efficiency of excavation of the ruins, this investment is completely worth it!
After finishing preparations, he walked out of the [Market], where the intermediate space mage Reese Ulysses was waiting for him.
"Let's go back to the Poison Swamp!"
While he was shopping in the [Market], Riss Ulysses restored all the magic values by drinking the [Magic Spring] and meditating.
From here to the poisonous swamp, you have to flash seven or eight times, which is still very expensive.
So she had previously set up a space marker in the Poison Swamp, and now she could directly open the [Shadow Wormhole]. However, her marker point was the dragon's lair, and she had to flash once to reach it.
After staying in Zong Shen's territory for a long time, Reese Ulysses, who was originally hopeless, gradually adapted to the life here and found some sense of existence and value.
Zong Shen didn't think too much about it, and just regarded it as a normal operation to save magic points.
After the [Shadow Wormhole] was fully opened, he followed Reese Ulysses and walked over.
Then, Reese took his wrist and arrived at the excavation site in a flash.
At this moment, only ten minutes had passed since he returned to the territory.
Most of the poisonous fog at the scene has dissipated, and even the field of vision has become clear.
The soldiers were all busy under the command of Vereesa.
Centering on the location marked by Zong Shen before, Vereesa delineated a 20-meter by 10-meter rectangular area as the main excavation site.
The wolf cavalry and the lion knights all got off their mounts and shoveled the mud out with shovels and pickaxes. Even Xiao Heizi occupied a corner in the mud pit and started digging with both claws.
The priests rolled up the hems of their robes and carried the wood and inserted it at the edge of the excavation site, forming a wooden wall to block the return flow of mud. The earth mages were not idle either, using magic to solidify the edge of the mud.
In just a short time, a layer of more than one meter deep was dug out of the muddy ground.
Silt backflows and overflows still occur, but they are less outrageous than before.
Zong Shen brought the spell scroll he had just purchased and used it immediately, solidifying all the mud around the excavation site.
This time the situation of silt backflow and water seepage has been alleviated a lot.
However, the effect of the spell can only last for 10 to 15 minutes, so everyone has to hurry up.
Zong Shen took out the [Pearl of Soil Gathering (Purple)] and started collecting mud.
I saw that this bead seemed to produce a strange suction force to suck the silt storm into it.
The quantity of one hundred square meters is neither too much nor too little, and it was filled up quickly.
The excavation site seems to have been lowered by tens of centimeters, and other excavations are also continuing.
Piles of silt piled up around it, constantly collapsing and then piling up again.
Zong Shen took the [Earth Gathering Pearl (Purple)] filled with silt and walked to a place dozens of meters away and chose to release it. He spit out the silt he sucked in and piled up a large pool of silt.
In fact, it is better to use a big bag to pack it...
But it’s too unhygienic. God knows what urine the sludge will turn into if it enters the storage space!
Anyway, there are many people, so it’s not bad to dig slowly like this!
Zong Shen kept going back and forth like this, and soon he dug through the five meters of mud in the excavation site.
A piece of wood was inserted into the solid soil to completely seal the surrounding area.
The excavation site turned into a pit five meters deep, and the water overflowing from the bottom was up to the knees.
At this time, the silt piled aside came in handy.
After the sludge was piled up, a large amount of water flowed out, turning the upper part into slightly viscous mud.
Zongtian asked everyone to paste the mud on the wooden fence as a seal.
In this way, the water seepage situation is greatly alleviated.
Then Zongtian took out the [Water Condensing Orb (Purple)] to absorb the accumulated water.
Use the [Pearl of Soil Gathering (Purple)] again to absorb the harder soil underneath.
After sucking it up, he released the soil around and piled it on the edge of the wooden fence as a second layer against overflow.
So before, he specially asked everyone to leave a fifty centimeter gap at the edge for mounding soil.
Once that was done, the excavation looked like a trench.
Without the obstruction of backflow silt and overflow, the subsequent excavation work became simpler.
Zong’s [Magic Drilling Machine] can also be used again.
Digging with bare hands + digging with a drill = ultra-high efficiency.
There were less than a hundred people left in the pit, and everyone else had withdrawn.
Xiao Heizi also left because it had a new mission - to transport the excavated floating soil.
Zong Shen handed it the [Pearl of Soil Gathering (Purple)]. Xiao Heizi only had to go down and suck up the loose soil, fly to the side and dump it, then come back and continue sucking. Guluo
The last time Zong Shen followed Baron Bezos to explore the ruins of the Knights of the Lion, it was not challenging at all. This time he dug directly in the Poison Swamp, which was a challenging excavation.
Under his orderly arrangements, he finally dug more than ten meters underground after about an hour.
The soil below was quite solid, and the hole he drilled before was also in a slightly dry place, so there was no overflow.
Zong Shen took out the magic flashlight and asked everyone to open up caves and halls around the ruins below, and at the same time took out more wood to build simple supports.
These supports aren't exactly strong, but they're certainly better than nothing.
It can play a supporting role to some extent to ensure that no one will be buried.
Under such circumstances, everyone quickly dug out the ruins and the underground gate of Azshara's sewer.
The masonry of the ruins is generally intact, especially the underground gate of the sewer, which looks like a fortress leaning out of the ground. The circular underground gate looks very strong and durable.
Just seven or eight meters near the underground gate, everyone dug up the [Chimera Roost] and the remains of some ancient trees. After all, this was once part of the Sifang Barracks.
Those damaged ancient trees had been buried underground for more than 10,000 years. Not only did they not rot, but they also showed a tendency to transform into fossils.
Zong Shen took a few glances to check the properties, and found that they were all garbage that could not be reused, so he ignored them.
As for the [Chimera Perch]... to be precise, part of the perch was not completely destroyed.
Even with the passage of time, strange changes have occurred.
This is reflected in its properties.
[The incomplete perch that breeds new life (gold)]
[Quality: Epic Night Elf Recruitment Building]
[Incomplete state, unable to recruit normally]
[Contains the heart of the perch in a reborn state]
(The heart of the perch is the seed of the Chimera Perch. You only need to put it into fertile soil and receive three years of moonlight to grow into the Chimera Perch.
Chimera is a product created by the moon god Elune based on the dragon. It has two heads and can spit out deadly acid. Chimera has a short lifespan, and its strength reaches its peak after birth. Normally, Chimera Its strength is standard epic level, and its single strength is slightly inferior to that of a dragon of the same level)
For Zong Shen, this is a good thing.
But this thing actually needs three years of moonlight to grow?
It seems that we have to find a way to help it spawn. You must know that Chimera is a sixth-level epic night elf unit. Although the strength of a single unit is not as strong as that of a dragon of the same level, it can be recruited in batches if it cannot stand up to this thing.
After recruiting Chimera, the territory's air combat strength can be further improved.
After all, neither gryphon nor manticore can compare with chimera.
Zong Shen pondered for a while and found that the incomplete half of the perch could be collected directly into the storage compartment, so he raised his hand and took it away first.
The storage compartment repels silt and automatically repels stains and dirt covering the surface.
It fell to the ground and gathered into a mound.
After collecting the [Incomplete Chimera Roost], Zong Shen asked the strategy module in his mind.
"Please guide me to the place where the recruitment scrolls and treasure chests are buried nearby!"
Zong Shen finally dug here and naturally he would not ignore other gains. He still has to conquer the module to say at the time: "After large-scale excavation, you can receive some recruitment and remaining equipment and the heart of the perch."
After he asked the question, the strategy module responded immediately.
Several golden circle marks appeared in Zong Shen's sight.
After the target was clear, he waved his hand to guide the soldiers responsible for digging to the target.
He himself also drove the [Magic Drilling Machine] to dig.
"Excavation!"
The vigorous excavation movement has begun again!
The place where the ruins were located was first dug into a cave, and then into an underground hall...
As long as you tell Zong Shen that there is a treasure buried here, he can even dig out the intercity subway passage for you!
…
More than half an hour later, the soldiers harvested one after another.
Pieces of mud-stained equipment and recruitment scrolls were placed in a slightly cooler place.
The same goes for the treasure chests, all stacked together.
The strategy module did not lie. He found a lot of equipment and recruitment here.
After all the golden circle markers were excavated, Zong Shen began to pack up the loot.
The first is the treasure chest type. I found a total of [Gold Treasure Chest × 1], [Silver Treasure Chest × 3], [Bronze Treasure Chest × 3], and [Black Iron Treasure Chest × 5].
There was also a bronze and a black iron trap treasure chest that he stored separately.
There are also many recruitment rolls. He only divides the number according to level first. The specific details will have to wait until he returns home. After all, the night elves also have a large number of troops.
There are a total of 137 third-level recruitment scrolls, 72 fourth-level recruitment scrolls, 31 fifth-level recruitment scrolls, 19 sixth-level recruitment scrolls, and 4 seventh-level recruitment scrolls.
This is the first time Zong Shen has obtained a seventh-level recruitment scroll!
In addition, there are some pieces of equipment, and those that have survived to this day are basically legendary equipment.
It is the standard equipment of the night elves.
Among them are 19 longbows, 11 one-handed swords, 14 pieces of elf light armor, 17 pairs of elf combat boots, 9 high-level moon blades, and a total of 13 moon chanting staffs and natural staffs!
Without exception, they are all legendary standard equipment, with basically three-quarters of their durability remaining.
It was an unexpected surprise to find this batch of equipment.
As for those low-level standard equipment, they have long been destroyed into piles of debris over the years.
In addition to recruitment scrolls, treasure chests and equipment, everyone also found a suicide note written and preserved by magic.
The handwriting above has been encrypted by high-level magic and cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, Zong Shen has a strategy module that can automatically translate it.
"To the Great Watcher:
The city of Azshara is about to fall. Most of the warriors entered the sewers through the underground gates. There are complex underground passages and densely distributed underground gates.
From the mines in the east to the mountains in the north
After the final decision of the Council of Elders, we will build a bunker in the mountains and use the secret materials stored in the sewers before the war to transform the mines. The battle will not stop!
After building these two fortifications, the rebels will wait for the arrival of Alliance reinforcements.
Those demonic bastards from another dimension will bear our endless wrath!
The four military camps will soon fall and be buried.
The person who left the message: Commander of the Fourth Sequence of Azshara City Defense Forces"
