Chapter 1149: Mountain Plane
The plane of mountains.
This is a monotonous world with rolling hills and mountains.
Here, you cannot see the endless flat grasslands, nor the lush green forests, nor the slowly flowing streams...
The plane of mountains is worthy of its name.
The entire plane is almost a strange world made up of dark loose soil and gray-white solid rocks. Even the air is filled with a choking smell of dust!
Without water, clean air, and animals and plants, it would be impossible to give birth to thousands of plane creatures.
Therefore, this is a lonely world and a cold world!
At the foot of a huge mountain of broken rock, a small goblin camp was under construction in full swing.
Hundreds of goblin machines are spitting out thick water vapor and are cleaning and smoothing the ground with great effort. A dozen guys who looked like goblin engineers stood on a huge rock, pointing around, seeming to be discussing the size of the camp and the distribution of buildings.
Dozens of combat magic machines, holding magic ray guns in their hands, were patrolling around the construction site, always alert to the surrounding movements.
In the center of the camp, a weird magical device was holding up an elemental barrier, expelling the dirty air here and re-injecting a fresh and sweet compressed air.
A corner of the camp, airship area.
A dozen cigar-shaped goblin airships were turning their propellers, struggling to lift a goblin engineer and seven or eight goblin combatants into the sky, and then followed the terrain to fly somewhere in the distance.
Not yet able to adapt to the air here, every goblin wears a breathing mask to prevent him from inhaling too much air rich in earth elements and turning himself into a stone.
The goblin airship was flying slowly in the sky. Engineer Justin Osik moved a wooden box and placed it on the side of the ship. He climbed up with difficulty and raised his old X-ray II telescope towards him. He kept scanning.
As a veteran geological prospector, Justin Osik can roughly judge the composition of ores and the proportion of rare ores by just relying on the exposed rock surface beneath him without landing on the ground.
But many times, the surface of the rock formations is obscured by the ubiquitous dust here.
Whenever this happens, Justin Osik will order the goblin airship to fly low and use the huge wind generated by the propeller to blow away the floating dust on the rock surface, so that he can observe their ore composition.
But such a move will undoubtedly bring certain dangers to the goblin airship.
When it circled at low altitude for the seventh time after flying more than a hundred miles out of the camp, the goblin warrior standing on the bow of the ship on guard let out a scream of terror.
"Attack...attack...dodge quickly!"
Under the delicate control of the goblin technician, the goblin airship made a perfect side flight to avoid a huge stone thrown from the ground. Justin, who was standing on the wooden box on the side of the ship, tightly grasped the iron chain on it with both hands to prevent himself from being thrown off by the rapid maneuver of the airship.
After the airship flushed and climbed to a safe height, Justin picked up the telescope and quickly patrolled the ground, finally discovering the hateful enemy.
Next to a thick underground crack, a 3-meter-tall stone element climbed out with difficulty and was waving its stone arms angrily at them.
Just like a war horn was sounded, more than thirty stone elements with level 1 strength crawled out of the huge crack that stretched for a kilometer. While roaring lowly, they condensed rocks the size of washbasins and threw them crazily into the sky.
Since the goblin airship is already a hundred meters above the ground, these stones cannot reach such a height at all. So, it rolled all the way and flew halfway, and then fell down weakly.
"These damn stone men..." The captain of the goblin team responsible for the safety of the airship was furious. He raised his magic ray gun and planned to give these natives a hard fight back. But its actions were stopped by Justin.
"Don't waste firepower on them!" Justin yelled, scratching his neck, and the strong high-altitude wind made it impossible for his words to reach five meters: "Notify the captain, fly west along the canyon in front of you, where there may be There are good things..."
After a moment, the goblin airship shook, and after slowly adjusting its direction, it quickly flew into the distance in the direction specified by Justin.
The group of stone elements under him chased angrily for a distance before returning to the lair angrily.
After this period of exploration, the goblins finally understood that the endless mountains below them were basically the habitat of earth and stone elements.
They either hide in the cracks in the ground, or hide in caves, or simply lie down somewhere to bask in the sun... Since there is mud and rocks everywhere, if you want to escape from the rugged rock piles or stone crevices, Finding them is extremely difficult.
Only when foreign objects invade their "territory" will these grumpy guys lazily come out of their hiding places and drive you away with stone fists the size of casseroles or stones the size of washbasins. The boulders they throw can be thrown up to an altitude of 60 meters, which poses a considerable threat to the goblin airships.
Fortunately, they have a strong sense of territory. No matter how angry they are, they will not easily set foot on the territory of another stone elemental family.
This gave the goblin airship the opportunity to use height and speed to get rid of them!
Justin had no choice but to order the goblin airship to maintain an altitude of about 80 meters, and then he lay on the side of the ship and slowly observed the trend and changes of the ground rock layer. When he encountered a place that interested him, Justin would also order the goblin warriors on board to shoot a few shots at the rock layer, and then use the reflection of the broken rocks to determine the distribution of the ore here.
Finally, near a valley 317 miles away from the outpost camp, Justin found some special places.
The goblin airship circled in the air for three circles, scanned the surrounding ground, and found no traces of earth elements and stone elements, so it landed carefully on the ground.
Holding the metal rope in one hand and holding the magic ray gun in the other hand, the five members of the seventh goblin team, wearing magic armor, landed heavily on the ground.
Dongdongdong...
The thick metal mechanical foot stepped on the ground, leaving two deep footprints.
The dust on the ground swirled up, causing the members of the Seventh Goblin Combat Team to cough violently.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it... The environment here is really bad!" Captain Taz put on a breathing mask with his backhand, and a dull and distorted voice came out from it: "Hurry up... Hurry up and occupy the commanding heights here. Beta, you take the magic artillery to the commanding heights... Xuena, set up a firepower point near the airship... Hansen, you and I will protect Lord Justin..."
"Got it, boss!"
"Leave it to me..."
"Okay!"
Many subordinates agreed in a row and began to rush to their positions.
Justin, who climbed down the goblin airship with difficulty along the rope, held a pickaxe in one hand and a magic spectrometer issued by the geological exploration headquarters in the other hand. He stood in the shadow of the airship and looked around, and finally designated a direction.
"Go there!"
Then, the three-person team set off without hesitation!
The journey was almost trepidation.
These little goblins are only about half a meter tall, and they are just a bunch of dwarfs in front of those stone elements that are three or five meters long. Without fighting, most of the goblins will probably die if the stone elements step on them with their terrible big feet.
Therefore, the two goblins responsible for protecting the geological prospectors, one in front and one in the back, drove the magic armor less than 2 meters long, and slowly and arduously moved on the rugged ground with one foot real and one foot virtual.
And the geological prospector Justin seemed to have forgotten the danger quickly, and from time to time he would use a pickaxe to knock open a piece of rock and quickly scan and analyze it with a spectrometer. Many times, when it found some strange places, it would cheer and pounce all the way, and then knock non-stop, forgetting that this was a dangerous and strange world.
Faced with such a leader who ignored everything after working selflessly, the two goblin bodyguards could only follow behind him with all their strength, and the magic ray guns in their hands were always pointed at the more dangerous places around.
Finally, as he walked and explored, Justin's cheers became louder and louder.
The various strange whistles emitted by the spectrometer may not be understood by outsiders, but it can clearly identify the composition of many rare metals. And as they continue to move forward, the composition of these rare metals is constantly increasing.
Justin dares to assert that there must be an extremely valuable rare metal vein not far ahead!
Finally, in front of a huge and strange stone mountain, Justin stopped and rushed to a huge rock five meters away, picked up a pickaxe and started knocking.
As the gravel on the surface of the huge rock peeled off, a fist-sized purple gem was clearly seen in the exposed cross section. And around the gem, there were metal particles that flashed silver light.
Purple agate... star ore...
Seeing this scene in front of them, the three goblins couldn't help but be ecstatic in their hearts, and they almost couldn't help singing and dancing.
But just as they were ecstatic, the stone mountain in front of them suddenly trembled and shook violently, and millstone-sized broken rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain like raindrops, turning the area of dozens of miles into a dusty garbage dump.
The three goblins had no time to celebrate, and turned around and fled to the periphery crying for their parents.
When they ran hundreds of meters away, they looked back and found in horror that the originally tall and majestic stone mountain had turned into a stone giant standing upright, slowly and difficultly climbing out of the pit.
And on its huge body, colorful exotic gems and various rare and precious metal ores can be seen everywhere.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it... Go back to the camp! This stone giant is probably at least level 3, and our strength is not enough to fight it. Retreat, retreat..."
After a while, all the goblins fled back to the goblin airship, then struggled to fly up, and flew back to the way they came without looking back. At this time, the stone giant had just stood up and was looking around for the nasty little things that disturbed its sleep...
