Chapter 1036 Discover the Problem and Solve the Problem
A few hours is not a long time in this situation, but it is enough to spread what happened during the day to every place in the rusty Tallinn.
Right in the center of Tallinn, under one of the few complete giant towers.
In the settlement that occupies the most abundant resources and the most critical strategic position, there are several strange figures surrounding the gloomy hall.
Lords of the large group from five powerful settlements gathered here to discuss the anomalies that occurred during the day.
The giant deformed skeleton shrouded in green flames—the leader of the Death Skull colony and the wearer of the crown—was pondering for a moment after listening to the report.
"A golden ship falling from the sky?"
"Yes, that's right."
What answered him was a pool of squirming mud, in which three giant eyes kept rising and falling, making strange sounds: "I saw it very clearly at the time. It should be something that fell from a higher depth. It might be something that fell from a higher depth. The treasure of a certain ruler in the World War..."
"Besides this, is there any other news?"
"It has been taken away by the people from the Dragon Scale Settlement first. Gray Blade's movements were so fast that no one could react." The wings of the strange giant insect trembled and made a buzzing sound: "The one from the Evergreen Settlement The female snake didn't say anything, I'm afraid she just suffered a loss."
"Humph, they are all a bunch of guys with evil intentions."
After hearing this, Dead Bones said in a cold voice: "Let the Dragon Scale Settlement hand over its things. Otherwise, we will no longer protect it from this year's blood tax."
"Will they comply?"
Eyes of Silt asked in a vague voice: "Those kobolds are all idiots who will forget how much they weigh when they see a small profit. They don't have any brains, and maybe they have started to swell now." What is swallowed is not easily vomited out."
"If you don't hand it over, you will die." The corpse showed no emotion: "A group of kobolds, if they could not be used for mining, they would have used it to deduct the blood tax."
"But what happens after we take it down?" The Insect King asked the most critical question.
"Study together and share together."
Dead Bones said decisively: "You should all understand the truth. Now is not the time to fight among ourselves. The blood tax of the King of Blight is increasing year by year. If this continues, sooner or later everyone will be conscripted into the army and serve him forever.
As long as there is a ruler among us, we can have the opportunity to negotiate with the subjugated country, and we will not be at the mercy of others. "
"Then, I swear to this."
The giant eye in the mud raised slightly and said: "The devil's wisdom will witness everything."
"That's true."
The corpse raised his hand expressionlessly.
Immediately afterwards, the Insect Lord, the Freak and the Giant Eagle Girl also made the same promise.
Under the witness of Bo Xun, the contract was established.
Under the huge pressure of the blood soul tax, the Lords of the rusty Tallinn temporarily united together and abandoned internal fighting to the greatest extent.
"Then, let's give them a warning first."
After the contract was established, Death Bones said: "Destroy half of the Dragon Scale settlement to make those kobolds obedient and prevent other trash from coveting it."
"That's true."
This proposal was unanimously approved by other crown wearers, and they even did not hesitate to contribute to it.
"Let me do it."
The dead man took the lead and pulled out a rattle from the sleeve of his tattered robe. It shook slightly, but no sound came from it. But everyone present felt a creepy cold feeling.
Under the dim firelight, their shadows began to shake and convulse, as if they were about to leave their bodies.
There are more shadows, gathering from a distance.
Amidst the crackling sound like the bursting of water bubbles, countless shadows raised underground in the Death Skull Tribe broke through the soil and gathered in the hall. After gathering with each other, they formed a large area of amorphous creeping darkness.
In the sticky voice, it gradually rose.
A harsh sound came from the strange outline formed by countless shadows.
Finally, it became a big hand.
The corpse indifferently took out a bone coin and threw it out. It was held tightly by a big hand, and then there was the sound of a torrent of water.
A large group of countless shadows scattered all over the place instantly united into one, following the orders of the dead skeleton, and transformed into a dark, strange giant bird.
Even if it is just covered by two wings, it is enough to plunder all souls.
"Go ahead." Dead Man said, "Take half of your life first."
The giant shadow bird screamed silently, penetrated the ceiling, and disappeared into the night.
Only a few confused calls of crows could be heard in the dark night sky.
"The advancement was successful. After initial inspection, there were no problems."
In the huge temporary workshop, Professor Anton sat on a bipedal machine used for transportation and walked out of the bottom of the solar ship: "The equipment is running normally.
There are not many damaged parts of the precision facilities that cannot be repaired by your beast soul, and there are enough accessories in the supplies we carry. "
Raymond immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Huai Shi is more concerned about other things than this.
"How is Professor Anton's physical condition?"
"Me? Everything is normal, but if this continues, I'm afraid the calcium tablets I brought will not be enough."
The old professor made a joke.
He is still wearing a thick spacesuit.
For Foster and Gregory, the place at depth 39 may only be slightly uncomfortable. For Huaishi, the climate is simply pleasant, but Professor Anton is a scholar after all.
Although there are laws to protect the soul, the essence is still within the scope of ordinary people.
People like him should have been stationed at the headquarters or mobile base to provide support for Huai Shi and the rest of the gang, but now that they are deep in hell, it will be even more difficult.
Now the outside realm is a complete hopeless situation for him.
Once he takes off his helmet, his internal organs will collapse under the pressure of the abyss in just a few seconds. Even if he is injected with the Astronomical Society's stabilizing medicine in time, he will not be able to move for long.
He is already so old, and the weight of the space suit is there. Even with the assistance of an exoskeleton and the strong physique of the Russians, he will never be able to survive.
The first thing Raymond repaired was the depth stabilizer and the sealed movable cabin inside the solar ship, so that he could move a little more freely after breaking away from the space suit.
"I know my affairs well, and I will tell you when I can't stand it any longer. Besides, the physical sign monitor cannot deceive people."
Professor Anton raised his arm. On the small screen on his shoulder, all physical data remained stable. "The most critical thing now is actually not me, but you."
He said, "Huai Shi, is your plan serious?"
Huai Shi nodded solemnly.
He sighed and nodded slowly, "Indeed, there is no better way besides this. I agree. Where are the others?"
Foster nodded calmly: "I have no objection."
Gregory shrugged indifferently.
Then it was settled.
As for missing something insignificant, no one cares too much.
"So, do you want to add anything?" Huai Shi asked: "If we want to integrate the creatures in hell and form sufficient combat effectiveness, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the process."
You must know that if cannon fodder is to be useful, it must be based on having considerable elite strike power.
Otherwise, it's just free money.
"The key is to strengthen ourselves." Gregory sighed, "Now we are back to where we were."
The people here are basically at the peak of their strength. It is extremely difficult to improve. Raymond, who is easiest to break through, has advanced, but the existence of the Sun Ship can only guarantee a retreat.
Gregory had been close to the Grand Master category forty years ago, but like dozens of other alchemists who were close to the Grand Master, it looked very close, and it was actually very close, but it was just a fucking leap. No more...
This kind of thing is completely dependent on fate.
If there is something in destiny, there is something. If there is nothing in destiny, then it may really be gone.
As for whether he has it in his life? No one can be sure. Among the records of the current situation, there are even cases where a sudden breakthrough in enlightenment occurred just before death.
But who dares to say that he has such good luck?
Then, the one with the strongest strength on paper is Chief Foster.
The fourth-level pinnacle of the Divine Path of the Heavenly Lineage, one of the twelve Titans inheriting Gaia, and of course his combat prowess goes without saying.
With the gun in hand, he dared to stand up to Nightmare Eye's murderous great Asura in a one-on-one fight.
But unfortunately, all he wanted was stealth observation and assassination. Don't talk about business with me. What he wanted was to bankrupt everything.
Once the number of opponents increases and you don't want to queue up, you will start to get bald.
As for Huai Shi, he has fallen into a strange cycle.
If you want to become stronger, you have to advance. But if you want to advance, you must first defeat those guys who are chasing after you. But if you want to defeat those guys, you must first become stronger...
In the end, everyone's eyes turned to where Raymond was.
The expression is strange.
Raymond was all hairy looking at it.
"What, what's wrong?" The tool man shook his head in horror: "I worked very hard. You see, I have advanced. I also want to help, but my strength does not allow it."
But when everyone was thinking deeply, they all discovered that the person who was easiest to strengthen now was Raymond, who had just advanced.
After all, as long as krypton gold is enough...
Raymond shook his head wildly and crossed his arms: "Don't think about it, there is no supply station!"
"I can solve the secret part."
Gregory sighed regretfully: "But there is no workshop."
Snap.
Huai Shi patted the saddle bag in front of him.
The alchemist's eyes lit up, and he quickly shook his head with regret: "Without a high-level catalyst and a complete enough large-scale secret ritual, there is no chance."
Huai Shi said nothing and patted his pocket.
Fishball poked his head and made a squeaking sound.
As long as a garbage workshop is matched with its existence, Helios will be reborn.
"Then you don't have any drawings either!"
Raymond is a tough talker.
"You are asking the right person about this, big brother." Scarab poked its head out of Huaishi's saddle bag and shouted excitedly: "I know this well!"
As the former central control center of Osiris, it was naturally impossible for Beelzebub's database to be filled with commentary and cross talk. It also records many equipment drawings and manufacturing methods common to Eternal Road.
When necessary, you can also assist from the side and perform fine processing.
"I can handle the repair shop and large equipment."
Anton scratched his head through the helmet: "Actually, if it's a crude version, you can make it with some improvisation."
After all, he is a scholar of all fields of mechanics. Twenty percent of the current mechanical scholars will respectfully call you "Your Excellency" when they see him. It is effortless to process according to the drawings.
He alone is a complete large-scale production workshop.
As long as there is a lathe, everything from a radio to a fighter jet can be used.
"So, now, we can handle all the blueprints, secret rituals, alchemy, and production workshops." Huaishi concluded, "There is only one problem left."
As a result, everyone fell into silence helplessly.
Material.
No matter how awesome the workshop or secret ritual is, no matter how awesome the production workshop is, they still need materials!
If you use ordinary materials, even the most advanced composite steel materials, it will probably explode completely after one overload operation.
Just look at the body structure of Osiris and you will know that tens of billions of dollars were spent on it without even a splash. Is it because it is difficult to manufacture? No, it's not difficult at all as long as you have enough foundation.
But the materials are hard to find.
No one can afford such a costly project like Osiris, which wastes people and money. At the same price, there are more cost-effective ways.
After all, wonders are difficult to recreate.
"There's no need for everyone to be discouraged."
On the hospital bed, Raymond scratched his head.
Although he really doesn't want to be a tool, now that everyone is working towards the same goal, he naturally won't throw cold water on him and continue to embarrass himself.
"How about we try to search other settlements?" he suggested.
"It's impossible. If we start from scratch, how long will it take to collect tens of thousands of different materials?" Beelzebub sighed.
"Transit station." Anton said, "During the great evacuation, many transfer stations did not have time to be completely emptied. We can try our luck."
"Where's the deal?"
Gregory said: "I am very familiar with a group of experienced businessmen in hell. As long as you give them a lot of money, they can basically do it."
Of course, it is possible to sell them as well.
"How about I contact Tiejingzuo and ask them to send someone to deliver the goods?" Foster asked.
Regardless of whether it can be delivered in time, the construction of Hell Fortress is now at its most critical moment. If you want to grab the materials for the iron crystal base at this time, the Grand Master will really hit people with a wrench.
While brainstorming, Huai Shi suddenly stood up and walked out the door.
"What are you going to do?" Raymond asked doubtfully.
"Go out and get some air."
Huai Shi waved her hand and said casually, "Get a takeaway by the way."
Just outside the open workshop door, in the huge square of Longlin Village, a steel bird fell from the sky at this moment, landed on Huai Shi's shoulder, and whispered something into his ear.
Huai Shi listened and nodded.
He touched its head and took out an iron bar.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."
The crow flapped its wings excitedly, picked up the snacks given by Huai Shi and ran away.
Huaishi, on the other hand, raised his head and looked at the dark clouds without any light in the sky, as if he had seen a giant shadow bird approaching quickly after seeing the clouds.
full of expectation.
You can feel the shadow essence concentrated in one place!
It's like smelling the delicious aroma of the ingredients in the kitchen. The moment you see it, your index fingers are already moving.
But behind the thick clouds, the squirming shadow bird that was about to pounce suddenly stopped and stopped suddenly in mid-air.
Feeling a terrifying threat from below.
The moment those eyes saw it, the unity of pure shadow beasts felt incredible fear!
Every inch of shadow in his body was trembling and convulsing with fear, and it was even difficult to maintain its shape. It disintegrated from the form of a giant bird into a strange darkness, and crazily increased its height.
He turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Ran!
It’s very much like a certain food delivery software: the food comes and the food goes.
Now, the takeaway is three hundred meters away from you, and in two minutes, the takeout will be three kilometers away from you...
The people who were waiting were furious.
What are you running for?
"It's all here."
Huai Shi stretched out her hand and slowly clasped it with her fingers.
At that moment, the thick and dark clouds fluctuated, and dozens of strange steel ropes emerged, rubbing against each other, shooting sparks, and roaring towards the shadow beast.
The shadow of nothingness was actually bound by the rope, making it difficult to break free.
Unable to resist the pull from below and the terrifying attraction of Guixu!
He was pulled towards the ground and fell.
The forcibly solidified body hit the ground, causing a loud noise.
The strange shadow began to squirm, trying to swim away again, but then, a foot stepped on it.
trample.
In an instant, the superior source of energy from Da Siming brought unparalleled suppression and pinned it to the spot.
All he could see was a smiling face close at hand.
"Do you think this is a coincidence? The shadow changes, and I can too!"
Huai Shi smiled and raised her hand to say hello, and then Afang Chang gathered his mace in his hand.
Aim at its 'head'.
Smash it!
The loud noise erupted again.
The shadow of nothingness actually set off layers of waves under the blow of this material, trembling endlessly.
Then, smash it again!
The ground was turbulent, the air waves were surging, and the strong wind blew on the shocked faces of the teammates.
Just like a fisherman standing on the shore, Huai Shi holds a fishing line and a big stick, and strikes the baited prey skillfully and hard. After two blows, the shadow was left with only trembling, without any strength to struggle anymore.
Waves of whining.
It wants to surrender.
Longing for forgiveness, longing for survival.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Huai Shi's right hand, shrouded in pale fire, had penetrated into the shadow of nothingness.
Hold tight.
The talent originating from Da Siming operates here.
Forcibly suppressed, assimilated, and then transformed.
Casting begins!
The huge shadow rippled and convulsed again, emitting bursts of tragic screams that tore through the silence. The creeping shadow that was originally unable to be accommodated by the entire square now began to shrink rapidly, and then swelled.
Under the cover of Yang Sheng, a new qualitative change once again ushered in...
In the end, the terrifying monster that could annihilate the entire Dragon Scale settlement had disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there was a huge iron ingot.
The strange iron ingot was as tall as two people, standing on the spot like a whole hill. The gray-black surface and distorted textures are like distorted faces, roaring silently.
From time to time, a dim brilliance flows past, as if it contains endless darkness, and the chill is approaching.
Just like that, in the dead silence, Huai Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
A bright smile appears.
Full of simple joy of harvest after hard work.
"I was thinking..."
He turned around and asked, "Now, the material problem has been solved, right?"
