Chapter 999 West Road Mining Area(1/2)
Zong Shen led the accompanying soldiers along the downward extension of the West District Mine Road.
Kobold Chief Dutra will accompany you throughout the entire journey, and white crystal stones have been placed in every passage, so lighting will not be a problem.
As Zong Shen's territory expanded, the existence of the kobold clan in the mines became less and less.
Fortunately, Dutra is also very self-aware. He is not very good at fighting kobolds, but they are experts at mining, so he chose to stick to his profession.
This time when the lord comes in person, it must not be absent, in order to prove to Zong Shen that it is dedicated to the mine, and at the same time increase its sense of presence.
After seeing the development potential of Zong Shen's territory, Dutra was already determined to hug his thigh.
As long as the territory is to be mined in the future, the efforts of the kobold clan will be indispensable.
After everyone arrived at the lower mine, they could see kobold laborers and human miners working together.
From time to time, you can still hear the roar of the magic drilling machine.
As for transportation, repaired mechanical minecarts and several loader mechas were used.
After Zong Shen exchanged the relevant magic machinery many times, the overall reserve has become relatively abundant and can be decentralized to various production tasks in the territory.
All in all, the current mine is completely different from the original mine.
It's a lot less dark and a lot more popular.
Continuing along the West Mine Road, we walked for about ten minutes before we arrived at the area blocked by blasting.
There are no miners carrying out mining operations nearby, and there is only a small group of wolf cavalry stationed dispersedly.
"Sir, this mining tunnel is the extension of the West Road mining area."
"The original howling undead and wandering skeletons appeared from the depths of this passage."
Dutra stopped and turned around to salute. None of the wolf cavalry stationed around him moved. They stood there and bowed to salute.
The sentry never leaves his post, which is one of the manifestations of discipline.
Zong Shen nodded and looked towards the mine tunnel that was filled with large amounts of gravel.
A strategy note slowly emerged.
(Oh~, it’s time for a long-lost exploration session again, and I can’t wait to write this guide!
The blocked mine tunnel in front of you leads to the depths of the Azshara mining area, which was the base camp where the Alliance resistance forces moved underground to fight. You can see a large number of bones of humans, elves, trolls, orcs and blood-burning demons.
Evil undead are bred in it, especially the corpses left by the powerful. Full of unwillingness and resentment, they draw the power of the undead in the shadows day after day.
There are a lot of materials and equipment left by the resistance in the ruins. There is also a [Fragment of Azshara Elf Key (orange)]. After getting it, you will have six fragments.)
…
He looked at this guide note and couldn't help but smile.
"It's been a long time indeed."
After knowing what he was doing, he turned around and gave the order.
"Everyone is on alert."
After saying that, Zong Shen took out the fifth-level [Magic Drilling Machine] and started it up skillfully.
The split drill bit started to rotate, and the "rumbling" sound of the engine echoed in the quiet mine tunnel.
Whether it is drilling into the ground or opening a passage, the [Magic Drilling Machine] is a good partner for ruin exploration.
Zong Shen pushed the forward gear lever, and the drill bit cut away the accumulated gravel, and slowly moved forward as the crawler track gripped the ground.
In terms of propulsion efficiency alone, it is actually not very high, but it is still much more efficient than conventional means of digging with bare hands.
However, the subsequent excavation did not go smoothly. After he dug through for the first time, the middle section collapsed again.
Therefore, we could only clean it back and forth, and it took more than an hour to completely open a road that could be safely passed.
It can be seen that the blasting here was very thorough at the beginning. No wonder Dutra dared to pat his chest and guaranteed that even the big undead would not be able to dig through it for a while.
The mine tunnel where gravel is cleared is a full circle larger than other mine tunnels.
With this level of explosion blockage, it would not be easy for Zong himself to clear a path without the help of magic machinery, let alone the large undead that might exist.
After opening up the passage to the West Road mining area, Zong Shen asked Kaginia to drive the [Magic Drilling Machine] to follow the middle of the team, using the drilling machine's front search light to illuminate the front.
He walked at the front of the team with six [Level 4 Dark Night Huntress] and two [Level 6 Thorn Ancient Tree Spear Throwers].
After that, there are fragile units such as [Level 6 Dark Night Chanter], [Level 3 Fire Mage], and [Level 3 Holy Light Priest]. The last one is Favid. In fact, the rear is facing the way they came from.
There shouldn't be any danger.
As for the kobold chief Dutra, Zong Shen left him on standby.
That guy's combat power is limited. Not only will he not be able to help, but he will become a burden.
The mine in front of me slowly extends downward.
Extraordinarily dark, cold, and cramped.
After losing that popularity, Zong Shen felt as if he was moving forward in a tomb somewhere.
"Huhuhu..."
Suddenly, he stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
Just now, there was a breeze blowing in my face.
This breeze brought a deep coolness and a vague power of death.
"Crack, click, click... click..."
After a while, there was a crisp sound.
The light of the [Magic Drilling Machine] cast a large shadow.
Dozens of skeletons of various shapes in front of them suddenly came to life, and the soul fire in their skulls was instantly lit.
Red and blue lights appeared, like floating will-o'-the-wisps.
[The Sinking Skeleton Swordsman LV25 (Blue)]
…
[Hateful Skeleton Caster LV28 (Blue)]
…
[Skeleton Knight Awakened by Nightmares LV30 (Purple)]
…
[Desolate Bone Troll Warrior LV30 (Purple)]
…
[Four-armed skeleton elf shooter LV25 (blue)]
…
As he scanned, lines of enemy information quickly emerged.
There are twenty-seven undead blocking the road ahead, most of them skeleton swordsmen.
There are also a few strange-looking skeleton knights riding broken-limb bone horses, as well as tall troll warriors holding spears and stone clubs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The weirdest ones are the deformed skeleton elf archers with four arms.
They hold two bows and can fire them at the same time, which is equivalent to having double the shooting speed.
"Free attack!"
"Purge mode!"
Zong Shen did not take action, but took a step back and gave the order to attack.
For the soldiers in the territory, they have already prepared several sets of preliminary battle plans.
[Level 6 Thorn Ancient Tree Spear Thrower] walked briskly with deer hooves and activated the [Wood Spirit Spear Throwing] skill.
Light green elemental spears condensed out and flew toward the mine ahead!
[Level 4 Dark Night Huntress] all threw the large moon blades in their hands, and the accompanying [ejection] effect was just right for this situation.
The [Third-Level Fire Mage] and [Third-Level Holy Light Priest] behind them were not idle either. They all chanted fast magic and fired fireballs and holy light arrows.
Favid also chanted [Explosive Fireball] and shot at the charging [Skeleton Knight Awakened by Nightmare LV30 (Purple)].
What followed was a counterattack by the undead.
Zong Shen did not move. The passive effects produced by the items equipped on his body were protecting the soldiers under his command.
The battle was completely over in just three or four minutes.
The damage caused by the opponent's counterattack is not worth the recovery power of the passive healing effect.
Zong Shen didn't do any last hits, and gave the opportunity to harvest heads to Favid so that he could expand more double-headed hellhounds. Zong Shen himself gained a wave of experience points.
Enemies of this size still pose a great threat to the exploration teams of ordinary lords.
