204 Underground Ruins
The vast mountains undulate like the back of a giant whale. The winding team spread for several miles. Ma Fan rode on Ababa's wide back, leisurely driving several dejected red hats to the end of the mountain.
Ma Fan got a very surprising news from the Red Hat, that there are a large number of civilization relics in this mysterious ancient mountain range, with a large number of treasures hidden inside, and their terrifying giant sickles were obtained from these relics.
The strange creatures like Red Hat are not large in the ancient mountains, but they are far more than a dozen. Due to their habits, these short but vicious predators, except for special circumstances like the Hadot Tide, mostly move alone within their territory and basically have no communication with each other.
The team led by Ma Fan was very unlucky to meet the first Red Hat group that was temporarily formed before the arrival of Hadot's tide, resulting in the loss of a lot of slaves and a lot of pack beasts.
But fortunately, the slavery device and energy shackle provided by the matrix system are enough to give Ma Fan the ability to control these terrible cruel butchers. As long as he finds that the new slaves are not honest, he immediately glars at his eyes and a "spiritual whip" is slapping out.
Two tall bear goblin slaves became the "slave heads" who drove away the red hat slaves. Although they were also slaves themselves, they were happy to use whips made of old rattans to kill them with the tribe's red hats, which were whipped by their tribe.
After nearly a month entering the ancient mountains, Mafan was almost at his destination. Coincidentally, the ruins known to the Red Hats were located in the direction they were heading, so there was no need to search for them.
Looking at the sun shining in the sky, Ma Fan wiped his sweat and asked Haba beside him: "How long will it take to get to the 'Shrine'?"
Haba said excitedly: "Witch, it's almost there! You'll be here in another seven days!"
"You said that it's not enough for seven days?" Ma Fan was a little depressed with Haba's grammar, but it made him a little happy to be able to reach his destination in three or a half days. The journey was quite smooth. Because it was early to enter the ancient mountains, so apart from the indigenous people who blocked the road like Red Hat, they did not encounter too many dangerous creatures on the way. The dangerous and powerful creatures in the ancient mountains had left their territory before they arrived and migrated to deeper parts of the mountains, providing a safe vacuum period for this team of mixed members.
If the first time Haddo tide comes in half a month, the dense aboriginal creatures are affected by the Haddo tide and attack each other wildly, they would not be so lucky.
At this time, the Red Hat slaves stopped in front of a canyon. They let the bear goblins whip them and refused to move forward.
"What's going on?" Ma Fan walked forward.
The two bear goblins knelt down in panic, and they were quite afraid of the "wizard" master who saved their lives and captured the terrible Red Hat, but the attitudes of those Red Hats were much more weird.
"Hehe! Master of the Wizard, the road ahead cannot be walked. At the end of this canyon is the nest of the arrow eagle. Walking from here, you will die." Ten red hats were chained by energy shackles, and the most powerful one temporarily acted as the leader of the red hat, answered with a strange smile. This strange creature that looks like a little old man has language ability, and Ma Fan does not feel strange. After all, even mushrooms can sense telepathy. This kind of look is considered to be among the indigenous people he has contacted. The little old man with the most human-like appearance can speak, so there is nothing strange about it.
Ma Fan's suspicious eyes fell on its old skin full of whip marks. For some reason, Ma Fan always couldn't believe this kind of treacherous creature. The habit of laughing twice before speaking was difficult for people to trust their words. However, Haba hurriedly followed up and said, "Witcher, this Thunder Canyon is indeed the habitat of arrow eagles. Every time we pass through here, our tribe has to pay half of the life of the tribe."
As Ma Fan walked along the way, Haba had already developed a blind sense of trust in this magical wizard. The omnipotent wizard would use his mysterious witchcraft to solve all problems. So Haba blinked his little eyes and looked at the great wizard in anticipation, hoping that this time he could safely lead his tribe members through this death canyon.
With a whip, Ma Fan raised the corner of his mouth: "Tell me your nest, I believe you won't choose to pass this road, right?"
The red hat, who screamed, climbed up in shame, led the way obediently, walked down from the dense forest on one side, and walked around a towering mountain and entered a concave valley.
To be honest, this place is not a valley, but a concave surrounded by mountains, filled with huge rocks rolling down from the mountain walls. The Red Hat took them to the middle of the depression. It was a huge rock that looked like hundreds of tons. The Red Hat pointed to a narrow gap below the rock and smiled strangely: "Great Wizard Master, this is our nest, a ruin left over from ancient times, and our giant sickle was obtained here."
"Fork!" Ma Fan suddenly wanted to swear. Even if the Red Hats did not lie, this was not a normal road that could be passed. The gap under the giant rock was no more than one meter high and more than ten meters long. However, among this team of indigenous people, it is estimated that except for the goblin slaves and the little mushroom man who could pass normally, the others could only take a detour.
"Are you teasing me?" Ma Fan glared at these guys who were not afraid of death. Along the way, they were at least whipped tens of thousands of whips, but they were always a little dishonest. Although the slavery device could control the bodies of indigenous creatures, it could not control their thoughts. This was also a very troublesome thing for Ma Fan.
A spiritual whip knocked a red hat to the ground, ignoring their screams and twitches, and the fire-heavy waved his hand: "Dig it open for me!"
Since it is a ruin, I think there should be a lot of space below. This gap that is pressed under the giant rock should have collapsed when the giant rock collapses. After being discovered by the Red Hats, it becomes their nest and usually hides inside. When needed, it will carry the weapons obtained from the ruins to hunt.
Ma Fan's men had many big men. After giving the order, 11 Vajra Dragon Armors came out of the team, digging and prying. Nearly 100 tons of giant rocks were easily turned open under the brute force of the big bugs, revealing the soft soil and the corners of a layer of stones below.
The bioengineering vehicles quickly dug up the soil on the ground, and then six or seven thousand goblin slaves and mushroom slaves cleared the entrance. This was obviously the ceiling of some underground passage, and a section of it collapsed in the middle. The entrance pressed by rocks was the gap exposed after the collapse.
After the slaves carried their shoulders and carried their hands to clear out the huge stone that formed the underground passage, Ma Fan discovered another problem, that is, even if the passage was opened, the largest Vajra Dragon Armor in the team still couldn't get in.
The problem is serious now. He could not throw the Vajra Dragon Armor here and ignore it. He called a red hat and slapped it hard and asked. He learned that the underground ruins were huge, so huge that they lived here for many years that they had not explored how big this underground ruins were.
Although this is related to the lazy living habits of Red Hat, it also indirectly illustrates the size of the underground ruins. It is less than seven days away from the so-called "sacred temple". I looked at the mountain concave for a little while. It covers an area of about hundreds of hectares, which is several times larger than the valley area of the base. It is surrounded by towering mountains and steep mountain walls. If it weren't for the lack of water, it would be a preferred location for the camp.
Ma Fan's heart moved. Water sources are not a particularly big problem. There is a large amount of vegetation in the mountain depression. Although it is not dense, it means that there should be water sources underground here. There must be water. At that time, the "water conservancy system module" in the "dungeon component" can attract water sources. So why not build your own private camp here?
After making up his attention, Ma Fan decided to let the goblins of the Black Wolf Tribe stay in the mountain depression first, and then he brought Ah Dai and a group of goblin warriors to investigate.
He directed the slaves to clear the huge mountain depression first, remove the gravel and shrubs that could be moved, and then wait for him to come back to plan the mountain depression. Although the nearly 100 hectares of land cannot be combined with the open area that can be developed indefinitely around the sunny hilly Dongtian Town, it is definitely enough for Ma Fan. Besides, there are underground remains of unknown space underground, if sorted out, it will be a huge living area.
Although it is a little far from the base, it is difficult to exchange materials and transport them at that time, but if you think about it, you will spend energy to make short-distance jumps to transmit materials. There are no other players here except him, so it is also allowed to cheat occasionally!
