Chapter 87: Demon-style architecture
"First, we need to find the water veins here."
As the engineer finished speaking, an apprentice behind him took a cage from his waistband - this guy was a rock demon and tall. So the cage was actually not small, almost the size of Chen Lina's suitcase.
When I opened the cage, a snow-white fox jumped out from it. There was no trace of variegated color on my body, and the pair of eyes were in a watery blue color, which looked quite lively and cute.
A beast demon apprentice next to him whistled, and the white fox rushed out in an instant and ran around the camp.
The engineer followed everyone slowly: "This is a water vein fox, a monster specially imported from the Cold Moon Realm. Its characteristic is that it is hydrophilic and is very sensitive to water veins, so it is often used to find water sources."
"There are no rivers nearby." Fan Li said. In the past ten days, he had also learned the dialect of the Settling Sun Realm.
"So what we are looking for is the groundwater vein." The engineer explained.
Soon, the white fox stopped in an open space and lay down. Its big fluffy tail swept around the ground behind him like a broom, causing a slight dust to rise, but its flawless fur was not covered.
Chen Lina looked at the white fox with some envy. This ability to ward off dust is something every girl dreams of, especially those female demon hunters. She was even considering whether to get a white fox as a pet.
"It's here." The beast demon clan reported.
The rock demon also carried the cage and walked over. After putting the white fox in the cage again, he walked to the place where the white fox had just swept with his tail and stomped down.
Boom! The demons only felt a muffled sound coming from the depths of the earth under their feet, and a strong force continued to extend downward along the position where the rock demon stepped on.
This is the demon clan... Even if he has not been promoted, he is just an ordinary rock demon, and he actually has this level of magic and natural magic!
Chen Lina and Fan Li exchanged glances, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
He even subconsciously took a few steps back... In the past, when facing demons who used magic or talented abilities, it meant that an extremely fierce attack power was coming, so you had to deal with it carefully!
Then they realized that they had overreacted. This was just a move from the instinct of the demon hunter. But now they are the "Captain of the Thousand-Man" of the demon clan. How could they be scared to retreat because of the ability of a lower-level demon clan?
Vanley has even noticed the skepticism of the patriarch and engineer...
At this time, the Rock Demon took a step back and raised his hands suddenly. The rumbling vibration underground became more and more obvious.
Soon, a "fountain" mixed with gravel and soil gushed out from the huge footprints he left behind, mixed with plant rhizomes and messy little bugs.
The mudslide fountain gushed for more than ten seconds, and then the extremely clear underground spring water gushed out.
There was a mess around, mud and gravel everywhere.
The engineer took out a hammer from his portable toolbox and then threw it on the rock demon's head with a bang: "How many times have you said it! Control the soil and stones well for me!"
The Rock Demon scratched his head and said in a muffled voice: "It's already controlled, because there is water, it's very difficult."
"I'm sorry, I made you laugh." The engineer quickly turned around and apologized to the Chief Qianfu.
It turned out that they were not afraid of the rock demon's ability, but were afraid of being stained by the mud. The patriarch's mind was filled with thoughts again.
Fan Li quickly tightened his face and said it was okay and asked them to continue.
Sure enough, he is still a child... but fortunately, it is easier to talk to. The engineer said in his heart.
He waved his hand, and the Rock Magic Apprentice stamped his feet again, closing the ground and locking the fountain.
Immediately afterwards, the engineer looked around and gestured, as if measuring a size.
After a moment, he nodded with satisfaction: "No need to change, just here."
The Rock Magic Apprentice took off a big waist bag from behind.
In the package is a bundle of dried vines, tied neatly together with a length of about one meter.
Another apprentice, with a few leaves on his head, probably the demons of the tree demon or grass demon, came over, pulled out a dead vine, and inserted it into the spring just now.
I don’t know what method he used, but the dry and flexible vines were like a sharp sword, all of which were sank into the mud and stones!
Then he took out a water bag from the package and began to water the vines.
But inside the water capsule is an emerald green unknown liquid, emitting a strange fragrance, like the fresh fragrance of a certain plant.
"This is a culture medium for planters, which can greatly accelerate the growth rate of plants." The patriarch explained in time.
I saw that only a little bit of vines exposed on the surface of the soil were poured into the culture medium, and they instantly rejuvenated, became greener, and then sprouted.
It was like a tidal vine, and it suddenly rushed out more than ten meters high! Nearly a hundred branches grew and spread out in a horizontal and vertical manner.
Under the ground, where people cannot see, the roots of the vines are deeply penetrated into the water veins, sucking a large amount of clear water into the vines, and then pumping them to the ground through the vines.
Several apprentices suddenly became busy. Some dug holes around the vines and buried dozens of faint "magic crystals", while others pruned the forks on the vines under the command of their masters - cut off some, and then poured culture medium on other branches to promote birth.
I also called some young and middle-aged people from the tribe to dig out gullies on the ground and buried the cultivated vine branches underground...
Soon, the prototype of a water supply network with a total of one main water well and more than ten branches of water veins was roughly completed.
Chen Lina and Fan Li were amazed at the sight.
The engineer's movements had not stopped yet. With the help of the water net that had just been laid, he led his apprentices to insert bamboo poles on the ground.
The same pre-treated bamboo poles were inserted into the ground by them at a density of one foot apart, and a wide space with a side length of more than 300 meters was drawn around the main well.
After changing a water bag, I continued to water the culture medium. The tiny bamboo pole also grew and grew rapidly. In just half an hour, it grew into a giant with a diameter of one foot and a height of forty meters. It suddenly formed a four-year-old tall wall.
The apprentices began to trim the side branches again to make the walls smooth and flat, and plant another slender vine at the roots of the bamboo to fill the gaps between the bamboos.
A group of demons entered the "indoor" and saw that the "water well" was in the north of the room. Then a fire pool was built on the other side... This one was nothing fancy, so the rock demon directly buckled a pool with huge rocks.
The patriarch asked someone to pour in two different solutions, and after they merged in the pool, they immediately started to burn violently...
Chen Lina finally knew why they didn't add a roof to this house...the flames suddenly rose dozens of meters high!
If this fire pool had not been strengthened by a circle of runes, it would have exploded directly!
The other demons around him looked like they were used to it, and the patriarch and engineer even reached in and tried the temperature of the flame.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen strong demons moved in a large ten-meter-cubic box from outside and placed it next to the fire pool.
Fan Li leaned over curiously and looked through the dense and ordinary gravel-like unknown objects inside, even as if life was surging...
Fanley couldn't help feeling his scalp numb and quickly retreated.
The patriarch laughed and said, "This is the insect nest. It is equipped with the fire pool. It is the equipment we use to cast demon soldiers and other tools."
The insect nest? Casting? Fan Li was confused. It is understandable if the fire pool is used. What should be used for blacksmiths use flames, but what is the situation with insects?
"Haha, as high-ranking demons, the two adults should not use ordinary demon soldiers. You should know that our demons are rarely made of metal, but are more of biological raw materials such as skin, armor, claws, horns, tendons, bones, or materials that the demons themselves have shed. Therefore, the processing function that flames can play is very limited."
Then there was a bug nest, and the demon soldiers in the demon world generally used "worm refining" to process materials.
Moreover, there are different varieties for different materials, and even each magic weapon sect of different schools has its own varieties of insect refining.
The insect refining is only effective in materials such as scales, orchids, bones, and has no interest in normal flesh and blood. So you don’t have to worry too much when operating, just be careful not to drop your equipment.
The insect refining and decomposing raw materials, the magic weapon master designs and shapes, and then the fire pool is fixed and reinforced... This is the basic magic weapon casting process.
The two fake demons were amazed for a while, and then soon stopped paying attention.
After all, for humans, this technology that is completely different from the same technology tree does not make any sense.
In addition, they are pure combatants, so they don’t have much understanding and sensitivity about technology, so they are naturally not too interested. Just take it as a fun thing.
