Chapter 406: Ways to Go Home

"Don't be anxious!" Looking at this shaman who was obviously more active than me, I deliberately said slowly: "You can start talking now."

After hearing my permission, the shaman quickly began to say: "I also know that this gate to heaven was placed here by the gods. This is their passage between heaven and us. Also, our tribe actually They were the servants of the gods in the past. Those gods once lived in our world for a period of time, but then they left for unknown reasons. But when the gods left, they left their servants here and asked us to guard this place and wait. Their return.”

"The gods have left here?"

"Yes, there are no gods in this world now. They have all returned to the realm of gods." The shaman said.

I thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know roughly when the gods left?"

After waiting for a while, the shaman said: "We don't know the specific time, but we have a rough reference."

"Tell me."

"It is said that before the gods left, this forest was actually a grassland, but the gods said that we need protection here after leaving, so they turned this place into a forest. This may be a reference."

After hearing what the shaman said, I quickly took out my communicator and contacted Hongyue. "Red Moon."

"What's the matter, Ziri?"

"Are there any plant-based players over there?"

"Yes! Why do you ask?"

"We need plant players to go out and determine the age of this forest."

"Ah?" Hongyue didn't expect such a strange question, but she just hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, wait a moment, this is not too difficult."

Hongyue was very fast and started reporting in less than five minutes. "We have checked that this forest was formed probably between 800 and 1,000 years ago."

I nodded and said, "Okay. You guys go about your business first. I'll call you when I have something to do." After cutting off the communication, I looked at the shaman in front of me. "Your gods left for about a thousand years, maybe less than that, which means it didn't take long."

"A thousand years?" The shaman was obviously surprised by this number. After all, the average life span of the natives was less than forty years old. A thousand years was really a long time for them.

"What else do you know besides this?"

"Yeah. I also know that the gods left some weapons here before they left."

"arms?"

"Yes, it is a weapon used by the gods, but it is buried in another place, and the entrance is guarded by guards of the gods. Those guards do not listen to me, so we can't get in."

"Take us to see it."

Driven by profit, this shaman has completely turned into a leader. He led us directly to a side passage, but before leaving, the shaman communicated with the chief. Now the natives here no longer dare to provoke us, and I informed Woma outside that they came in and started studying this huge space door.

A few people were left waiting to pick up Woma and the others, while Rose and I entered the front passage together with the shaman. As for the remaining golem guards, the shaman gave them orders to follow the instructions of the remaining players in our guild.

After arranging things here, we entered the passage on the wall.

There are a lot of underground spaces in this tribe. Although the super large space in the center is very suitable for living, there is actually no indigenous person living in this place. They just set up stalls here to sell things. I've passed by here, but I definitely don't live here. All stalls are placed on linen on the ground, which is in the form of street stalls, and can be taken away at any time when needed.

The reason why such a huge space is not allowed to be inhabited. In fact, it is because of the gods mentioned by the shaman. This place is the entrance to the gate of heaven, and the gods must pass through here when entering or exiting. certainly. This is a myth made by the indigenous people, but we can also understand this situation with our modern way of thinking. This portal is like our train station or airport. Then these natives are their slaves, servants or vassals to the gods. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are not even as good as pets. At least we will give emotional care to pets, but those so-called gods probably use these natives purely as free labor.

You can imagine that. Would you be happy if those beings who are not even beggars to us built shacks one after another in airports and trains to live here for a long time? Obviously not. Therefore, these indigenous people are not allowed to live in this place. Where they actually live is in the passages around this main cave.

There are a lot of these passages, and the large passages are connected to small passages. Most of the passages extend in all directions, with few dead ends, so they can be used as roads in the city, and they are also three-dimensional. Some passages are like overpasses.

There are also some small spaces sunken into these passages. Each one is not big, but very regular. At first glance, it looks like it was dug manually. These spaces are where the local indigenous people live. Compared with the ground, this kind of living area is of course a little narrower, but for the indigenous people, this is very good. These caves are all well ventilated and dry, with few bugs and no odor. In fact, apart from being a little cramped, there is nothing too uncomfortable about this environment. Even if modern people live here, it is not absolutely unbearable. For these indigenous people, it is perfect.

We passed through a long section of this passage and saw countless native aborigines. These ordinary natives are much thinner than warriors, but they are obviously healthier than those in Konoha and other villages. At least there should be no shortage of food on their side. After all, they can establish gathering points on the ground, which means they can Harvest some food openly, and since there are many of them, they can go out to hunt, and they are not too afraid of those monsters. Naturally, food is relatively easy to deal with. certainly. After all, the food in this kind of place cannot be compared with that of later generations. The food in this place is loose, which means that people will not starve to death. It is simply impossible to say that there is enough food.

Under the leadership of the shaman, we passed the long passage smoothly. Some parts of this place are quite narrow, but it's still enough for one or two people to pass side by side. As long as the shaman takes the lead, the locals will give way when they see us, which greatly increases our movement speed.

After passing through the long passage group, I originally thought we would arrive at the so-called warehouse, but it turned out that we arrived at a large underground rift valley. Walking out of this place is like a cliff. Below is a darkness so deep that it can't be seen to the bottom at a glance.

Of course, this place is not a dead end. There is a downward staircase on this cliff. This staircase is like a winding mountain road, which is completely carved out along the wall. Zhenhong couldn't help but ask the shaman: "Did you cultivate it yourself?"

The shaman heard Zhenhong's words and said quickly: "How is that possible? This is obviously not something we can do! This is something left by the gods. It was just specially dug by the gods for us."

"Is it specially dug for you?" Zhenhong asked doubtfully.

The shaman nodded and said: "There are many luminous stones down here. The gods like these stones very much, so they asked us to go down and help them pick up the stones, but the gods themselves rarely go down. This ladder is to allow our workers to The passage that goes down. There are actually several such passages ahead."

I nodded and understood the situation here. After working on it for a long time, there is a mine in this place, no wonder it needs so many servants. It turns out that not only do they serve them, they also need these servants to mine for them.

Although this staircase is very long, we were at the bottom soon. There is actually a river at the bottom of this Great Rift Valley, and the stairs lead to the river. There is a space recessed into the cliff here. It's like a dock. This was obviously dug out as well.

I suddenly felt some magic fluctuations here, so I asked: "What kind of stone did the gods ask you to mine?"

"Oh. Wait a minute." The shaman pointed at the river and said something to the native next to him. The native quickly walked into the river and began to lower his head to look into the water. After a while, he stretched out his hand from the river. He picked up a piece of stone with a faint fluorescence. After the native found the stone, he ran back and handed the stone to the shaman. The shaman took the stone and quickly handed it to me and said, "This is the stone that the gods like. I wonder if you like it? If you like it, we can help you mine this stone. There are a lot of them under the river here."

"Oh, it's this kind of thing. It's wrong. I'm not interested in this thing." After I finished speaking, the shaman's expression immediately fell, but I suddenly said again: "But although I don't have much interest in this thing, There is no interest, but there are many people over there who like it, so if you can take it back, it will still be of some use."

When I heard it, it turned out that I didn't like it personally, but many people here liked it, and the shaman immediately became excited again. "So, I wonder if we can...?"

"This is not yet certain. If your Gate to Heaven can still be used, we will build a channel here, and then hire you to help us mine this stone. As for the cost... we will pay with food and weapons. . You should like it very much, right?"

"Yes, yes, we like food and weapons. These are the things we are in urgent need of."

In fact, what I just said is not the truth. It’s not that I don’t like this thing with a touch of fluorescence, but I like it very, very much, because his grandfather’s magic crystal is this thing! The river is actually full of these things, just like cobblestones covering the river bed. The native went into the water and fumbled around for a few times before picking up a magic crystal as big as a goose egg. This yield was truly incredible! I have only been in this world for more than a day, and two magic crystal mines have been discovered, and the output is so abnormal. Is this world the birthplace of magic crystal?

The reason why I said that I don't particularly care about magic crystals is because I'm afraid that these natives will have some ideas and they will ask us for exorbitant prices. Although we can use force to deter them, they will definitely become passive and slow down their work. In comparison, it is better to keep them motivated like this. The output can be increased at least several times.

Instead of continuing to pay attention to these magic crystals in this place, we got on a boat. This is actually just a big tree that has been hollowed out. It is said that the boat actually lifted it up. But at least this thing can seat people.

In fact, the main reason is that the shaman needs to take the boat. We didn't mind swimming forward because the river was only about crotch-deep. It's completely possible to move forward through water.

After getting on this boat, we started to go upstream, but instead of using things to punt the boat, we dragged a rope forward. This thing was obviously made for them by the gods of this place, because the rope was obviously not a braid made by the indigenous people, but a rope twisted from multiple strands of material. This thing feels like carbon fiber and is very tough. It is also very light, stretch-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and most importantly, will not break.

By grabbing the rope and pulling it back, the boat will naturally move forward. This is much faster and less stressful than gliding with a paddle.

In order to rush for time. In the end, of course, we were the ones to pull the rope. The subordinates of the indigenous shaman were really too weak and couldn't go fast at all.

With our efforts, the boat quickly arrived at a pier upstream, and then walked up from here using the same winding road-like steps. If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to carry the shaman on my back, I would have thought it would be faster to fly up without taking the steps.

It was easy to wait until the shaman reached the top out of breath. Entering is another series of passages. There are no locals living in the passage here, but the environment here is still very good, but it's just inconvenient to travel, so no one lives so far away.

Continue forward from this passage. Then you will pass by a very strange place. This is a slightly wider space than the passage, with a large hole in the ground in the center. The big hole is bottomless and dark, and you can hear the howling wind below. Because this big hole is in the center of the passage, you can only go around it by pressing against the walls on both sides. However, the passages on both sides are actually relatively wide, as long as you don't walk forward with your eyes closed. Generally there is no need to worry about falling.

However, the shaman communicated with us before coming here. He told us that there are monsters living under this cave, so we need to be quiet when passing here. The monster was sleeping the whole time and as long as we didn't make too much noise there would be no problem.

To be honest, this requirement is quite troublesome for us. It’s not that we don’t want to be quiet, it’s that we can’t be quiet. Don't forget we are wearing metal boots. Although there are rubber pads under the boots to prevent slipping, they are still very noisy when walking on the road. This is incomparable with the straw sandals worn by the indigenous people.

When we passed this place, we had to move carefully and quietly like thieves in order not to make any noise, but in the end, just as I thought, the monster woke up. This monster's hearing is actually very good. That is to say, the indigenous people are light and wear straw sandals on their feet, so there is not much movement. It is impossible for us to not be discovered.

Although the monster woke up, the shaman performed well this time. This guy didn't leave us and run away. Instead, he bravely sprinkled a lot of powder into the big hole, then pulled us and told us to run away. I can only understand this as the power of interests. If we die, there will be no hope for him to eat and drink well in the future. So this guy showed unusual courage at a time like this.

That powder is actually something that the monster hates, which will cause it to hesitate, but the monster will still come up, because there is too little powder, it is impossible to stop it, it just delays its appearance.

In fact, Zhenhong and I didn't intend to run at all, but we were pulled to the entrance of the cave, but we stopped here just to see what the monster looked like.

It turned out to be a mistake. The monster was in a disgusting mess. Zhenhong took one look and turned around and ran away. I did not hesitate to pull out a liquefied magic crystal steam bomb and threw it into the hole where the monster was, then turned around and ran away. This super ugly monster with a head like a toad has very average defense, and it was killed by a single blast of liquefied magic crystal steam. I almost threw up after seeing the system prompt. The system actually prompted that this thing is called earthworm, which is a delicious ingredient. Damn, if you look like this, even if you can live longer by eating one bite, I will never touch it.

Not far from here, we entered a slightly wider space with several branch roads. After branching out from here, you can go to different places, but what we are going to is the weapons depot, so we can just move forward from here.

Less than fifty meters further, there was a stone door. The shaman scratched the bracelet on his hand on the door. Then the door opened by itself. This is completely black technology. Anyway, it is not at the same level as the technical level of the indigenous people.

After passing this door, there is a large room. Unlike the cave outside, this room is decorated from the walls to the floor. There is no trace of the rock, it is all metal plates. Directly across the room. There are two huge grooves with two golem guards standing inside. These two golem guards are both over three meters tall, and their appearance is very scary, because these guys actually look like eight-armed monsters.

These golem guards have eight arms, each holding a long knife. When Yeyue's six-handled snake sword danced, I had seen the attack density before. This thing had eight arms. I wonder if it will be more powerful than Yeyue.

Before we did anything after we came in, the two golem guards over there immediately started moving. The two golem guards took a step forward and walked out of the half-recessed small cave where they were standing before. Then they stood together in front of the opposite door. Then they looked at us and said together: "Weapons depot is prohibited. Low-level slaves are approaching. Leave immediately, otherwise they will be killed."

This is really not polite at all!

I just snapped my fingers, and the king and Yeyue appeared next to me. Seeing two more people, the golem guard over there immediately waved his weapon. Then he ran towards us.

The king and Yeyue didn't react at all to the approach of the two golem guards. It wasn't until the two golem guards rushed nearby that Yeyue moved first. Although the shaman was a little scared. But he still stood by our side and didn't run away. At this time, Yeyue emboldened him, because Yeyue directly wrapped his big tail around the ankle of the golem guard, and then lifted him up upside down.

After the golem guard was lifted up, Yeyue wrapped his tail around it and smashed it from left to right, until it finally turned into a pile of fragments and was finally freed. In comparison, the king on the other side is much more powerful. After the golem guard approached, he just pulled out his sword, and then the golem guard split into two and fell down.

"He's big and has average fighting power." After the king said that, he took back his sword and disappeared.

I ignored the shaman's shocked eyes and walked directly to the gate to take a look. This door is very large, with a width of more than 20 meters and a height of at least six meters. It’s hard to tell what’s inside such a big door. But I'm very surprised. The entrance to this place is a narrow passage that can only allow one person to walk through. Who is the door of this place so big for? Even if something is released from this place, will the passage outside be passable?

Although I don’t quite understand the thoughts of the so-called gods, I just want to know what’s inside.

Although the shaman was surprised by Yeyue and the king's force, he had been stimulated many times along the way, so now his adaptability has made great progress. The shaman who reacted quickly ran directly to me. When he saw me touching the gate, he said, "This is something built by the gods. We don't have any power to destroy it, but maybe you can." He had already Knowing that we may be about the same strength as gods, he still has some confidence that we can destroy this gate. In fact, he really wants to know what is inside, and he even fantasizes that if it turns out to be a weapon after opening it, it would be best to give them something we don't like. Because even things we despise are unimaginably good things to them.

"This is really a good thing!" I said, touching the door.

Zhenhong came over and knocked it twice, and then said, "It seems like this is marble, right?"

I nodded. Essinger was built using this kind of stone, which is very hard.

"Open it and take a look." I said and stepped back. The shaman didn't know what I was going to do, but he still stepped back with me.

Zhenhong walked to the door alone, then put her ear to it and knocked on the door with her fingers, then stepped back a distance and started to activate her skills. "The mighty Tianlong Fist - broken."

With a bang, Zhenhong's fist hit the door directly, but his reaction afterwards was a bit strange. The door did not open immediately, but showed no response. Even the room we were in did not change at all.

"What's going on?" Looking at the strange door, I couldn't help but ask.

True Red did not pause. She punched the door again. This time it could be seen that the force used was very small, but after she used up her strength, the door actually shattered under her fist.

The shaman's jaw almost dropped. This gate was an insurmountable obstacle for them, but Zhenhong actually punched it through with two punches, and it was shattered into pieces on the ground. This power is just too much.

"What a terrifying power!"

"You haven't seen the real power yet" I said and took the lead and walked in.

Not to mention, there are really some things we are interested in inside this gate. "Woma, you'd better come here."

"What's wrong?" Woma's voice came to mind in the communicator.

I took the communicator and said, "I found something and I need you to check it out."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

To be honest, there are all kinds of strange things in this place, but in my opinion, the strangest things are not the things here. But the text here. The words written on the walls and on the machines are obviously magic words. This is a word I know, so I can even directly read the meaning of the words written in these places.

"This is really a weapons arsenal!" I couldn't help but say while looking at the writing on the wall.

Zhenhong suddenly pointed at something and asked me: "President, do you find this thing looks familiar?"

What Zhenhong pointed at me was a long strip, which seemed to me to be a model of a ship. And a ship like this... "A battleship of the Rainbow Alliance?"

Yusina bought so many warships to deal with us before, how could I not recognize the warships of the Rainbow Alliance? The ones placed here are obviously the models of the flying battleships of the Rainbow Alliance. I never knew where Yusina bought those battleships before, but now it seems. The guys she bought things from must be the original owners of this place, or at least the heirs.

"Boss. Look here." A member of our Frost Rose Alliance discovered something and yelled.

I quickly ran over and found that what the player asked us to see seemed to have been seen somewhere before. "this is……?"

"Isn't this a solar furnace?"

What we saw was a design drawing, and the thing on it clearly looked like the solar furnace developed by our Frost Rose Alliance. But why are there design drawings of our solar furnace here?

There are too many strange things in this place, but to be honest, the most common thing here is indeed weapons, but the weapons here really don’t have anything we can see, because the weapons here are all energy weapons, that is, It's something like a laser gun that you hold in your hand and fire. If this thing is powerful enough, we would be a little interested. The key is that the power of this thing is really fucking bad. Not only is the power small and pitiful, but it also needs to be charged for a long time when it is started. It takes a long time to take out this kind of rubbish. It's really not worth the trouble to trick children into making do with it, but to use it for us.

The most things here are garbage, but those strange design drawings and models gave us a lot of hope. However, these things required Woma to figure out. As a result, after waiting for a long time, she couldn't come over, so we had no choice but to talk to the shaman. Let’s go back the same way.

After returning to the hall where we met the shaman before, we saw this space door again. At this time, this thing called the Gate of Heaven was completely different from the beginning.

At this time, there are many pipes connected to the Gate of Heaven. These pipes are very thick and look like oil pipelines. You don't need to worry about falling off when you run on them.

After the pipe is connected to the Gate of Heaven, it will divide into many small pipes, and then continue to split, and finally turn into many small tentacle-like things attached to the surface of the Gate of Heaven. It can be seen very clearly that there is a large amount of blue light flowing at the connection point between these connecting lines and the gate of heaven, and there are some tiny arcs flashing inside.

Woma was busy around these pipes at this time, but she calmed down after seeing me. "Boss!"

"What are you...?"

"This thing called the Gate of Heaven by the local indigenous people is actually a space gate. However, because this thing has not been activated for a long time, the energy storage device inside has long been scrapped."

"Then what are you doing now? What's going on with these pipelines?"

"Oh, this pipe is the energy transmission device. The other side of this pipe is the solar furnace installed on our primary super aviation battleships."

"Do you use the primary super aviation battleship as a generator?"

"That's pretty much what it means." Woma said: "The energy output from the solar furnaces on these primary super aviation battleships is transported to the Gate of Heaven through these pipes, and then it is thought that the pipes inside the Gate of Heaven have no energy. So according to the high-pressure principle , the energy output by these primary super aviation battleships will enter the energy pipelines above the Gate of Heaven. At this time, as long as the energy disappears where these energy tubes are connected, it means that the connection is connected. What we have to do It’s about checking which channels are open and then inputting the correct energy into those channels.”

"But how do we know which ones are the right energies?"

"The energy output by the primary super aviation battleship is a stable parallel line. This energy is different from electricity in reality. It has no waveform. However, if we input energy..." Woma was about to talk about his ideas when he was I interrupted.

"I don't understand what you said. I just want to know when we can return to the Frost Rose Alliance."

"I think I might need your help on this."

"Why?"

"Boss, do you have a way to go back directly by yourself?" Woma asked.

I nodded and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I hope you can return to the main map, boss, and find the Essinger Mobile Fortress."

"Why is Essinger Mobile Fortress needed?"

"Because Essinger Mobile Fortress has the largest energy output device of our Frost Rose Alliance."

I looked at Woma in confusion.

Woma knew that I still didn't understand what she meant, so she began to explain seriously. "Crossing the barriers of time and space is not that simple. The most important thing is that we cannot fully activate this transmission device, so we can only use huge energy to offset it, so we need to have a huge energy source at the target location as our receiving port."

"So you think the energy core on Essinger Mobile Fortress can support this need?"

"It's not that I think it is. But it is really possible." Woma said: "In fact, it is not only the energy core on Essinger Mobile Fortress, but more importantly, the transnational teleportation array on Essinger Mobile Fortress. The transnational teleportation array itself is A space device, its energy type can be discovered by this portal, which is the Gate of Heaven, and then a connection can be established. But because we are just borrowing the startup program of this Gate of Heaven, there is no way to fully operate it, so we must The Essinger Mobile Fortress over there uses super-powerful energy to forcefully penetrate the barriers of time and space, so that we can hope to establish contact."

"Can we go back there later?" I asked.

"If the teleportation array over Essinger Mobile Fortress can hold on," Woma said.

I keenly discovered the problem in Woma's words. "You are saying that there is another possibility that the teleportation array on Essinger Mobile Fortress cannot hold up?"

"The energy on Essinger Mobile Fortress should be enough, but I don't know about the teleportation array. After all, the transnational teleportation array was not originally designed to allow us to travel through the planes."

"Then what if it fails? Do you think it's a good deal to use the Essinger Mobile Fortress and our transnational teleportation array for these things?"

Woma was stunned by my question. But soon she added: "Actually, there is another way. It still requires the Essinger Mobile Fortress and the transnational teleportation array to work together, but this method is much safer."

"Let's talk about it, as long as there are no problems with the Essinger Mobile Fortress and the transnational teleportation array. I don't care even if all these junior super aviation battleships here are wiped out."

"Of course there will be no problem with the junior super aviation battleship, because the output here is not large. The key is that the transnational teleportation array on the Essinger Mobile Fortress must have sufficient energy, but we cannot guarantee that now. The transnational teleportation array on the Essinger Mobile Fortress will definitely be able to persist until the teleportation channel is established, so we need an alternative way to reduce the energy intensity on the transnational teleportation array on the Essinger Mobile Fortress."

"What should I do?" I asked, looking at Woma.

"Actually, the method is very simple." Woma said: "As long as you can return to the main map and bring Pandora here." (To be continued ~^~)
