Chapter 0546: Enemies Underground
The excavation went very smoothly.
Due to the strong support of the goblin royal family, the entire camp is extremely well prepared with food and supplies. Hundreds of boxes of magic batteries used as energy sources were shipped, enough to run more than 200 construction machinery on site for a month.
More than 30 earth drilling machines used their high-speed rotating drill bits to drill a large hole in the ground mixed with sand and gravel, and then disappeared from everyone's sight. If they're lucky, they may drill hundreds of meters into the ground in one go. But when they get there, there is a very high probability that they will hit the outer wall of a metal building, or directly hit a piece of broken rock as huge as a hill...
Either way, it's not a good thing for a fragile earth drill.
Either the machine crashed and everyone died, or the drill bit failed, and they could only stay in place and wait for rescue from above.
Of course, there are also those who are lucky enough to be able to find a zigzag downward space among the numerous broken rocks, fragments of stone statues, and parts of metal buildings.
As a result, as the ground cleaning work continued to deepen, the general situation of the underground space became apparent.
The original steel city was built on a towering mountain top. Nearly 60% of the mountain below was hollowed out and transformed into underground tunnels, large and small underground tunnels, and secret rooms extending in all directions. In order to enhance their sturdiness, when excavating this underground space, the goblins laid a large number of metal tunnels and special secret rooms made of all metal components.
With the big explosion, all the underground tunnels were broken into countless sections, and the metal chambers were distorted, deformed and displaced.
Later, the underground space collapsed, and the mountains above collapsed along with most of the buildings in the Steel City, and were then buried nearly a kilometer deep underground by trillions of soil and broken rocks.
To be honest, I want to find out the former capital of steel from the depths of the earth, and find out the things in the original underground space. This kind of difficulty is no less than hollowing out this huge mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles. The amount of work is so arduous that it is simply staggering.
However, as a project promoted by Greem, the wealthy goblin royal family could only grit their teeth and take it on, and put most of the power under their control into it.
In the goblin camp in the clear zone, there are as many as 70,000 goblins stationed here alone. Hundreds of construction machinery are cleaning the ground day and night, pushing a large amount of discarded debris and debris to further areas. In just five days, they had dug 150 meters underground and cleared out tens of thousands of tons of earth and stone containing various gravels and metal fragments.
And right in the center of the goblin camp, there was such a small tent standing alone, and no goblin within a hundred meters dared to approach it. Only when the excavation team discovers some strange items that have never been seen before will they send for the overseer, Lord Bliss.
Even if the other party goes out, he will hide himself in a thick black burqa, almost never showing any skin.
In Nuoda's camp, except for a few goblin commanders who knew the other party's true identity, the rest of the goblins knew nothing at all.
Returning from the Goblin Engineering Headquarters again, Bliss sat cross-legged on his blanket, with a fist-sized crystal ball in front of him faintly flashing a red light in the center.
Bliss stretched out his strange right hand covered with dark carapace and pressed it on the crystal ball.
The next second, a familiar spiritual consciousness flowed into his mind.
"Bilis, what's going on with the goblins?" It was Greem who was far away in the wizarding world.
With the connection between the teleporter and the Flame Throne Witch Tower, the witchcraft connection between the two planes is no longer a big problem.
"Master, they dug down another 17 meters today. However, they encountered the remains of a huge stone statue and are trying to find a way to blast it out... In addition, they also discovered a metal building roof that stretches for nearly 3 miles. It should be The remaining main bodies after the explosion in the Steel City will be found in the short term, and there may be some meaningful discoveries by then..."
After listening to Bliss's report, Grim paused slightly in the distance, and then asked, "Then what did you find here?"
With how cunning and suspicious the wizards were, how could they place their sole hope on the goblins? So Greem sent Bliss here, on the one hand to supervise the progress of the goblins, and on the other hand to use the special abilities of the insect witch to find treasures underground by his own means.
"My little darlings are almost reaching 500 meters underground. Yesterday, one or two suspected metal tunnel faults were discovered. Today, they also found an underground warehouse, but it was full of ordinary supplies. According to this progress, it is probably still possible. It takes three or four days to reach a thousand-meter depth.”
After hearing this answer, Greem finally nodded with satisfaction and then sent a message: "The closer you are to the explosion location, the more careful you must be. In addition to the space broken zone hidden in the soil, you must also be careful of the presence of enemies. I I have a feeling that the other party is not completely dead. Once you find signs of life, please notify me immediately and I will rush over as soon as possible..."
The two chatted in a low voice for a few more words, and then they cut off the expensive long-distance connection after making sure nothing was missed.
When the red light in the crystal ball completely dissipated, the insect witch Bilis retracted his right hand and sat there stiffly without moving again. Of course, he did not fall asleep or meditate, but instead immersed his mind in the stinging scorpion under the thick soil.
…………
In the dark soil 573 meters below Bilis, a basin-sized stinging scorpion used its strange instinct to push away the soil and was trying to dig downwards.
Under its strange multiple eyes, the soil in front of it was not all dark, but was mixed with countless strange substances. Including green tree branches that were not completely rotten, metal fragments flashing with energy fluorescence, some bones left by goblins, strange broken rocks, and many broken materials that were difficult to distinguish their original appearance...
The thirteen stinging scorpions did not gather together, but scattered separately, looking for a secret passage leading to the bottom in the loose soil and residue.
Although most of the original underground corridors were broken, there were still some remnants. As long as they were found, it would not only be easy to locate, but also be able to track down some high-value targets.
However, just as the stinging scorpion kept digging and moving in the soil, it suddenly stopped its movements and began to fully sense a strange vibration from deep underground.
The epicenter was not far away, it seemed to be only tens of meters away.
And from the amplitude and frequency of the vibration, it seemed... it seemed that something was secretly digging upwards underground, and its speed was not slow.
This unexpected discovery immediately attracted the attention of Bilis on the surface. Under his remote control, thirteen stinging scorpions began to approach the epicenter from all angles. Before reporting to Grimm, he felt that he had to find out the truth about the epicenter!
With a target, the speed of digging will be much faster.
When it was only ten meters away from the epicenter, under the command of Bilis, the rest of the stinging scorpions stopped digging and changed to a lurking state, and only one stinging scorpion continued to move forward cautiously.
When the stinging scorpion was only one meter away from the epicenter, a strange black claw penetrated the thick soil layer and grabbed it.
Immediately, the soil exploded and light appeared.
In a narrow cave that was barely big enough for a person, two tall figures, one fat and one thin, squeezed inside, and the one who was holding the stinging scorpion was the more sturdy one.
He grabbed the stinging scorpion and shook it, shaking off the dirt and debris attached to its body. The tall figure opened his mouth without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth and bit it.
The stinging scorpion's originally tough alloy-like insect shell was actually useless in the mouth of this tall figure. With a strange crisp sound of crackling, the insect shell broke, the insect blood splashed, and the stinging scorpion was actually swallowed alive by it.
The insect wizard Bilis suddenly let out a sharp hiss and felt a sharp pain in his head.
He had a feeling that the other party not only swallowed the stinging scorpion, but also probably swallowed the wisp of mental power that he attached to the stinging scorpion.
Damn, it was it!
Bilis endured the severe pain and opened the communication crystal...
…………
When Grimm received the news, he was actually dealing with a matter at hand.
After a long period of setting up and controlling, the big event he had been planning for a long time finally had a glimmer of hope.
The fish has taken the bait!
Lester Wick, the guy who left behind the blood of the origin and infected Mary into a foreign vampire, finally showed up again after lying dormant for seventy years.
He left the blood castle in the Kadatheron area and began to frequently intervene in the local affairs of the Wick family, lingering in aristocratic banquets and erotic salons all day long.
It sounds like good news. But along with the good news comes a big bad news.
Unfortunately, that Lester Wick also successfully advanced to become a level 2 vampire.
This undoubtedly raised his status in the Wick family to the level comparable to several family elders!
Even with Grimm's strength as a Level 2 Fire Wizard, who was promoted several years earlier than the other party, it is not so easy to capture him in one fell swoop. Even if he is not careful, even Grimm may be defeated by him.
After all, the difficulty of vampire wizards is well-known even in the Sandy Tallin area!
But for Mary's future development, it is most important to give her a blood transfusion and rebirth as soon as possible.
Just as Grimm was quietly planning a plan to hunt a Level 2 vampire wizard, the insect wizard Bilis, who was far away in the goblin plane, suddenly sent back a very explosive news.
