Chapter 2639 The Beginning of Disaster

Although I have a grudge against the old Duke, it concerns the innocent people of the three countries. I still sent a letter to Dashai City in advance to ask them to take precautions as soon as possible, so as not to think of remedying the situation when disaster strikes.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than three days since the letter was sent, and only Simons Locke, the lord of York and Han City, responded. As for the other two lords, they either disagreed or were too lazy to pay attention to me.

Now that I have done my utmost to be benevolent and righteous, I will have a clear conscience no matter what the outcome is in the future.

May 11, 4116.

It was a beautiful and sunny day, and the entire Zephyr Continent was immersed in the breath of spring.

In the spring full of vitality, everyone is full of energy and wants to start a career in the new year.

This also includes the orc mining team that is constructing around the Gobi.

They belong to the Department of Mineral Resources of Dashai City and are an elite team under their command that specializes in digging and mining.

Their purpose this time was to dig out obsidian for enchantment buried underground.

The resource of enchanted minerals like obsidian is not abundant in Dashai City.

But this is also a normal phenomenon.

Dashai City has vast grasslands with good grass quality, which is very suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

This is something that other towns cannot match.

Moreover, the geographical environment of Dashai City also determines that there are precious materials such as coal and oil buried deep underground, and there are even huge amounts of iron ore, and silver mines that are slightly inferior in quality but equally large in quantity.

But in contrast, the content of other ores is much pitiful. The rarest and rarest ones are fine gold and mithril.

If the fine gold at the point where the disaster occurs is not included, the fine gold ore content in Dashai City is zero.

Yes, you read that right, there is no adamantium mine in Darsay City, and its mithril mine is also pitifully small, which is almost the same as none.

Apart from these two extremely expensive metal ores, there are few mineral deposits in Dashai City such as blooddrops, obsidian, aquamarine, diamond, agate and other precious ores that can be used for enchantment.

This resulted in the high-level officials of Dashai City having to endure huge high prices and import various types of ores from other towns.

Although the amount of imports is huge and the amount used is rare, the problem is that ore is not like livestock. People's livestock can give birth to seven or eight animals in a litter and are not afraid of killing them. But ore is different, so you need to use less.

At the moment, there is no war among the countries, and even if there is only a superficial peace, it will at least not affect trade. If war breaks out and trade is interrupted, Dashai City will have nothing to do with its ore demand.

It's okay to say that in the short term, once the war drags on and extends for 180 years, the ore resources in the reserve will most likely be exhausted.

Without the ores for enchanting, adventurers' weapons and equipment will lag behind those of other countries, and their overall strength will drop by 20 to 30%.

Furthermore, enchanted stones are also an indispensable way for the country to collect huge sums of money from adventurers. Once this road is blocked, the national treasury income will drop by at least 10%.

This is still the most conservative estimate.

In order to solve the problem and avoid it, the senior officials of Dashai City decided to mine the mine themselves.

But mining is to solve problems, not to create trouble, let alone cause disasters, so the top management of Dashai City decided to choose the mining location in the plains near the Gobi.

In their opinion, as long as they stay away from the place where the disaster occurs, everything will be fine.

But apparently, they underestimated this land.

There are many terrible existences hidden under the Gobi. It is right not to brush off the tiger's beard easily.

But that doesn't mean the plains next to the Gobi are safe.

Under some of the plains, there are still unknown horrors hidden.

Most of these horrors were recorded in disaster record books, and most of these booklets were destroyed at the end of the goblin reign. A small part, after several turnovers, was collected in the forbidden area of ​​​​Witchburg. A smaller part was used by Fort Vicky as a token of goodwill and returned to Moonlight City.

However, other countries such as Dashai City do not even have a single volume.

Likewise, the mining team had not read or even heard of such a thing.

If they are lucky enough to read the pamphlet, they will never break ground easily, and will choose the site carefully and dig the soil carefully, for fear of angering some beings who cannot be offended.

Like, right now.

When the mining team drove a powerful excavator imported from Fort Vicky, they dug hard at the target site. In a short period of time, they dug more than ten meters and saw the obsidian with a dark halo. , next to the naked obsidian, a group of two-meter-square mounds were constantly squirming.

Mounds of earth are not uncommon on the plains, but creeping mounds are very rare.

There are only two possibilities for the creeping mound. One is an earthquake. But obviously, there is no earthquake, so there is only the second possibility - there are living things under the mound.

In fact, it is not unusual for there to be living creatures under the mound, especially for people living in the Zephyr Continent. Even if a small beast with claws and teeth suddenly emerges from the mound, or even a monster with a length of two meters, it is not enough. strange.

Because previously, the Airui City excavation team failed to open the seal of disaster and the entire army was annihilated, there are at least five or six adventurers with good strength in the orc mining team.

They are all proficient in defensive warfare. As long as they activate the power of transformation in their bodies, they will become human-shaped fortresses. With such a row of human-shaped fortresses blocking the front, are they still afraid that monsters will kill the ore workers in one blow?

As a result, all the adventurers stood at the forefront, wearing steel helmets, armor, and shields, building themselves into a steel barrier.

Supplemented by the blessing of the power of transformation, they are sure that even if the country's power strikes with all its strength, they can block it.

Full of confidence, they used their daggers to stab the squirming mounds of soil randomly. The clods of soil they stabbed were scattered and gravel flew everywhere.

However, after stabbing again and again, they discovered a problem, a very serious problem - the mound did not stop squirming due to the random stabs of the dagger, and under such intensive attacks, not even a trace of blood seeped out of the mound!

This is terrible!

Even if there were a group of rats, a group of snakes, or even a group of earthworms under the mound, at least a few would be killed or injured under this random stabbing, but reality was like a heavy hammer, shattering everyone's confidence.

At a gesture from the leading adventurer, the adventurers stepped back step by step, squatting in a line, and expanded the power of degeneration to the maximum extent, forming an indestructible white wall of light.

Just after they finished all this, the squirming mound was finally pushed open, and a green, semi-liquid, semi-solid creature slowly crawled out.
