Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Find the way around, and the next thing you know, it's done.

Li Yao, Longyang Jun, Li Jialing and two newborn "information life”, and of course two little guys' toys - those tiny little ants' ultra-miniature spiritual puppets and free-flying wild bee-shaped spiritual puppets - immediately set out to explore the past along existing cracks and mine caves in the direction of special ripples.

Every three hours, pause to restart Vibration Ripple Scanning and Grabbing Phantom to reposition the vibration source.

Indeed, the increasing intensity and clarity of the ripples suggests that they are not in the wrong direction, and that the direction and height can be fine-tuned further depending on the number of grades the ripples are growing.

Gradually, they left the towns where ordinary people live underground, and those areas rich in spiritual energy and life were far away, really into the absolute darkness of "a dark day, a dead silence”.

This is a life restricted area where even the underground wildlings do not live, and the tunnels and mine holes are gradually narrowed and cut off, with only one strangely shaped natural crack for people to walk through.

In many places, even giant warriors have to drive hard to find new cracks.

If it wasn't for Li Yao and Longyang Jun, the two great superior masters at the forefront, despite the local consumption of spiritual energy, so recklessly collided, absolutely could not find the right path, would be trapped alive and dead in the rock formation.

And so they breathed in the darkness for more than 24 hours and finally saw the dawn.

After shrinking to the limit and hard drilling through a natural crack not much thicker than a venomous snake, the front is unmistakable, but it is an artificial tunnel at least 350 meters in diameter, and the darkness leads nowhere.

Both sides of the tunnel are wide and narrow, oval in shape, and the surrounding rock walls show visible traces of artificial excavation, but after hundreds of millions of years of erosion, they gradually smooth out, like wrapped in a hard slurry shell.

“This tunnel is not being drilled now. ”

Li Yao analyzed the height of the moment through a barometer, “We have fallen to more than 24,000 meters below the ground. In many places, this is the dividing line between the crust and the mantle. I didn't expect such a deep distance, and there is an artificial tunnel of such magnitude.

“Come and see the traces on the rock walls on both sides of the tunnel. You'd better reach out and feel the traces with the slight spirals. No, that should be traces of some kind of shield machine or giant drill bit drilling. From the size of the traces, it doesn't look like the same type of treasure of the Pangu or the Lady - it's too small. ”

Longyang Jun was the first to understand what Li Yao meant.

Most of the thirteen members of the Alliance of Civilizations are large carbon-based lives, moving at twenty or thirty meters or more tall, giants of the highest realm.

Therefore, if it is Pangu or female shield machines, excavators, shredders, etc., it should be larger, then the size of the excavated traces should also be much wider.

Many flood ruins, including Kunlun's secret realm, contain similar Fabao wreckage from Pangu and Female Fabao, so Li Yao and Longyang Jun are well aware of similar Fabao sizes.

“Do you suspect that this artificial tunnel was man-made? ”

Dragon Yang thought about it and said, "It was 10,000 years ago the emperor or the blood godson! ”

“If your guess is correct, it's very likely. ”

Li Yao nodded, “Assuming that the Emperor and the army of the Blood God are really searching for something ’something' under the Earth of Starscream, it is only natural to dig a man-made tunnel large enough to transport large numbers of troops and even destructive treasures in, and now that Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi knows the secret, of course there is no need to foolishly hit a tunnel of his own from scratch, as long as he finds the tunnel of the Emperor or Blood God, he can easily reach near the 'target'. ”

“Makes sense. ”

Dragon Yangjun releases a moment of divinity and exploration, and takes everyone into the middle of the tunnel, pointing to the crushing traces on the ground, "You touch this. ”

Li Yao knelt down and carefully rubbed the uneven floor, touching countless serrated bumps.

“It's a tracks, very, very wide heavy tracks, and it's a group of six to eight tracks - some kind of tracked conveyance with quite an amazing load. ”

"If the Emperor or Blood God's army had crushed out 10,000 years ago, the traces should have been eroded by time, never so ‘fresh'," said Li Yao. The traces of these tracks have been repeatedly crushed within the last year and a half! ”

Now, they can finally make sure they're right.

The apparent “contradiction” is not too much of a problem, as the tunnel is only 350 metres tall and the supermassive shield machine has an operating surface diameter of hundreds of metres.

The supermassive shield machine, a seemingly unmatched steel giant, on the other hand, is extremely fragile, and the hypervelocity runtime is calculated in "seconds”, which, if not necessary, can be activated for one second less.

It is the most efficient practice to break down a mega-shielder into thousands or even tens of thousands of components and pharmacopoeia units that are transported to the work site via track-loaded vehicles and combined in situ.

Knowing that this artificial tunnel must lead to the “bottom card” of Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, it is no surprise that after more than two hours of breath diving, a group of guards of the Imperial Forest Army armed to the teeth are seen again when they hear the noise of 18,000 waterfall-like "rumblings” coming in front of them.

Don't say that Li Yao and Longyang Jun, even if they have just completed a course of intensive treatment of Jin Mao Li Jia Ling, they can easily lift these Royal Forest Army.

But there was no need for this kind of haystack, and they chose a more secure approach.

Everyone lay in the dark corner of the artificial tunnel, Li Yao drilled a small, thick finger hole on the rock wall to the front hot work site, then Li Xiaoming and Li Wenwen manipulated a large number of mechanical ants, climbed in along the small hole and transmitted the scanned images and ripples back, so that everyone could share the view of these mechanical ants.

The images sent back by the Dragon and the Mechanical Ant held their breath as one, almost without shouting.

The underground space at the end of the artificial tunnel is too large, too vast, too “vast”.

Li Yao is one of those people who has seen countless huge underground spaces, including the first underneath Skeletal Dragon Star, and even a silver “ocean”.

But all the underground spaces, taken together, are no more stunning than the void in front of them.

At least ten times the diameter and height of the underground space on this side, it can accommodate dozens of underground towns, like a miniature black hole embedded in the interior of Starscream, constantly swallowing up the surrounding rock formations.

Looking around, there are spiral-down ladders and platforms, as well as a giant cave that opens horizontally on the rock walls, like some complex hive and ants.

Some of the "ant caves" are Royal Forest Army barracks, with canine teeth staggered with crystalline magnetic artillery positions and various 3D defense systems, described in four words as “watertight”; others are factories that assemble and repair shield machines, all on a small scale.

Li Yao manipulated the Dragon, carefully fine-tuned the direction, all the way down, and saw that on the platform approaching the bottom of the huge void, there were indeed several supermassive shield machines that were constantly digging in and crushing, and they followed hundreds of large, medium and small shield machines, contrasting sharply, like giant beasts out hunting with their own children.

With these shield planes alone, it's impossible to create such a vast underground space in just a year and a half!

Li Yaoxin turned his head and laughed dumbly. He was too stupid to laugh at himself - such a “vast” space was certainly not dug up by Blackstar Emperor Wu Yingqi alone. Eighty-nine of them, as Longyang said, were dug up by the Emperor or the troops of the Blood God. Wu Yingqi merely inherited the cause of his ancestors and continued to dig it.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

That's when they heard a very regular explosion deep in the underground space.

“Was he setting fire to the rock? ”

Longyang Jun whispered to Li Yao.

“No.”

Li Yao put his ears and cheeks against the rock wall, carefully perceived a moment, shook his head, "is to scan the deeper structure of the ground with the ripples and feedback released after the explosion of the crystal bomb. ”

This method of holographic scanning using ripple feedback is a conventional tool for underground exploration.

From the layout of the corrugated emitters, the immortals first cut out a shallow tunnel in all directions of the ground with a supermassive shield machine, scattered in a radial fashion, and then installed a special set of crystal bombs at the end of each tunnel for a "scattered over the sky” scan.

In other words, no matter what Wu Yingqi asks them to look for, there has not been any breakthrough, it has only been the brainless firing of guns.

Li Yao was relieved when he found this.

“There is at least an entire regiment of Royal Forest Army deployed here, and the size of the garrison will continue to grow as they continue to build new barracks and barriers. ”

Li Yao closed his eyes and carefully analyzed the ultra-definition image transmitted by the Dragon. “No wonder Li Linghai attached so much importance to the Imperial Forest Army. He had long been eyebrowing and colluding with the Imperial Forest Army. I told him that the vast majority of the Imperial Forest Army did not have much fighting power. Putting it on the battlefield was a crushing shrimp soldier crab, even if loyalty was even higher, it would not be useful to recruit it.

“It turns out that Li Linghai or Wu Yingqi had no intention of putting the Royal Forest Army into battle to kill enemies, but used them as‘ engineers’, which is quite appropriate. ”

Li Yao swept around and, within his sight, did not find any sign of a master. “Hey,” he said with a smile. “What do you think would happen if we suddenly rushed down to fuck a group? ”
