Chapter 149 Construction

After Cornell made it clear, Sharon was not euphemistic, and said: "This is not the point. The underground of the king's capital may pass through the lairs of many underground creatures, and the underground world is intricate, even we are not too sure about it."

There are many magical creatures in this world. The four living spaces of land, sky, sea, and underground all have their unique ways of living.

While these four dimensions are self-contained, they also complement each other. When life in each different realm enters another realm, it will always be tied up.

Sea beasts can easily kill humans who enter the ocean, and stranded sea beasts can also be easily killed by humans.

Surface life that is not adapted to the dark environment will lose the sense of space even if it is illuminated by light when it enters the ground, and it is easy to be attacked and killed.

"Underground creatures?" Xiang En wondered, "Isn't that only found 500 meters underground?"

The college’s books have introduced subterranean creatures, and he can only remember a general idea. The content is roughly that subterranean creatures basically live in complex burrows 500 meters underground, and rarely come to the surface, and rarely enter the shallow underground along the upward passage.

Sharon explained: "Some powerful underground creatures will not be affected by too much light, they will be attracted by sound."

"Is that so..."

Xiang En bowed his head in thought for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Although there are some risks, the benefits of building underground tunnels are greater. Believe me, the surface is more dangerous. The purpose of building underground tunnels is to save more people, including your parents!"

Having said that, Sharon also came to her senses. The surface seems to be more dangerous than the underground, but there is more room for movement on the surface, which is naturally more reassuring than the cramped underground.

The spiritual connection skill was activated, and Xiang En sent the picture of the Kuroshio siege to Sharon through spiritual connection, and finally made her agree to the construction of the underground tunnel.

Due to the large amount of engineering, the trolls' labor force was also requisitioned, and the trolls took over the work of iron smelting and iron transportation.

After vigorous operations, the project officially started on the third day.

The pale-faced Yorke and Mira began to release magic at the selected positions, and Xiang En was behind them, whipping them to work all the time like a whip.

Three kilometers of work in a day is enough to drain their world for a whole day.

The shape of the tunnel is square, with openings for metal load-bearing columns left on both sides, and four metal columns have to be filled in for every ten meters advancing.

The biggest advantage of magic construction is that there is no need to transport the muck away, and the tunnel is much stronger than the cement-paved passage.

After the start of work, Naka and Andrea will be responsible for cooking. They need to prepare their own food, as well as food for the trolls.

Although Darusa and the others don't know why humans still dig tunnels, as long as they have food and shelter, they will do so.

Food is the most valuable thing in their eyes, and good employees never ask for more.

The hard-working troll brought five ox carts to and from the manor, transporting the iron ore deep in the forest to the ironworks.

The ironworks are currently operating in two shifts, and the demand for iron ore is huge, and it is not enough to handle hundreds of thousands of tons a day.

A troll with a lot of strength is very efficient in dry mining, and can transport thousands of tons of iron ore in a day.

Sometimes they would dislike the slow running of the ox cart, and directly use the power of the troll, or pull the cart, or carry the basket on their backs, and transport the iron ore back to the manor in baskets.

The reason why they are so active is that Xiang En came up with a performance reward. The labor team with excellent work performance within three days will be rewarded with five kilograms of beef.

There are five troll labor teams, and each team has 20 trolls. Basically, an adult troll warrior leads 19 old and weak women and children who can work.

The five kilograms of beef was not pure meat, but beef stewed by Xiang En with a secret sauce, which was a supreme delicacy for trolls.

It is not an exaggeration to ask them to risk their lives to fight for it. Gradually, the work attitude of the trolls has changed.

Two weeks after the appearance of the performance reward system, Xiang En found that something was wrong with the trolls, so he quickly modified the performance system.

For the five kilograms of beef, the trolls almost fought, especially those young trolls, Brother Huaqiang had to say: young and vigorous.

The revised performance system has been changed to be evaluated once a week, and each team can receive one kilogram of beef every week, and the team with outstanding performance can get an extra three kilograms.

Xiang Endu praised his generosity, the tense atmosphere among the trolls disappeared, and the work efficiency also improved.

In two weeks, the tunnel only moved 30 kilometers. There were two accidents in the middle. One was to dig an underground river, and the other was to dig an underground cavity.

They can't go straight forward, they can only change their course, or forcefully pass through regardless of terrain obstacles.

The huge underground cavity is connected to a huge underground space, and the space and tunnels go deep into the ground, which may be a path for underground biological activities.

Xiang En paved the way here, built drainage canals, and asked Jin Lai to portray the lighting magic, planning to turn this place into a rest stop.

In addition, the underground creatures may look ugly, but many of them are edible.

Keep digging!

The two man-shaped shield machines continued to work. There would always be various difficulties and obstacles in the process of excavating the tunnel, and Xiang En was already mentally prepared.

Even so, when the tunnel was repaired to 60 kilometers, they still encountered a big problem.

When the stone wall turned into a square channel under the influence of the magic power of the earth element, the numb York and Mira suddenly regained their spirits. With a little effort, the rock in front of them turned into a dark cave.

Seeing the appearance of the big hole, one person and one elf seemed to be the winning players, and quickly collapsed on the ground, weeping with joy.

The appearance of the void means that they can get a short rest.

Encountering small holes, Xiang En would stop to let them rest.

Seeing the hole, Xiang En immediately took a few steps forward, gathering magic power with both hands to quickly shape it, and the white goshawk appeared in his hands as if by magic.

Standing on the edge of the hole, Xiang En threw the letter eagle and was about to retreat, but in the next second, a "wall" suddenly rose in the dark hole under his feet, knocking the letter eagle away in an instant.

There was a rumbling sound around the ground, and facing the rising airflow at close range, the air in the tunnel was immediately sucked into the large tunnel like a straw in the mouth.

Xiang En, who was standing on the edge of the tunnel, was pushed back by the strong airflow, and he was sucked into the tunnel directly before he could prevent it.

York and Mira, who were paralyzed on the ground, did not expect such a situation to happen, their bodies were immediately sucked into the deep hole, and fell quickly along the dark ground.

The suddenly rising "wall" was like a syringe, sucking Xiang En down to the ground. Xiang En's scalp was numb in the state of weightlessness, feeling the thrill of falling from a high altitude and pulling his soul, and it became difficult to breathe.

Vaguely, he could still see the mucus on the rising "wall" next to it.

York and Mira, who were also confused, had to calm down. Most of the magic power that Xiang En had replenished was still contained in their bodies, so they quickly released the magic.

The violent gust of wind rolled up the bodies of the three people, slowing down their falling speed. Green vines spread out from the stone wall beside them, hanging the three people on the cliff.

A lazy dog, I think I still have to go to the hospital for a thorough physical examination first, I have been rewarded too many times, and all kinds of problems have come to my door
