Chapter 311 Return to the Misty Valley [Subscribe]

He slept for two hours with a refreshing feeling.

He took a comfortable hot bath with the help of the maids in the castle for the rest of the time.

He originally planned to [cross the border] back to Blue Star and take a shower in the bathroom in the villa guest room.

But he couldn't resist Baron Bezos's tricks.

When he woke up, the maids had already prepared hot water, aromatherapy and flower petals.

He simply enjoyed the evil noble treatment.

Several slim maids helped him massage and wipe, and he didn't have to do it himself.

After taking a bath and putting on a layer of rune leather armor, Chen Xuan spent a few minutes to organize the storage compartment.

In particular, the storage compartment where the weapons were placed was prepared.

To ensure that all kinds of weapons could be used at any time, they went to the tavern where they were scheduled to gather.

All members of the expedition team had already made preparations.

Each of them carried a bag.

Only a few people had their own storage rings.

Chen Xuan, who was used to being arrogant, almost forgot that scarcity is the true meaning of this world.

In the past, storage jewelry cost hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of crowns. Even a silver-level strongman had to save up for a long time to afford it.

As for the bronze-level and black iron-level small Karami, unless you are lucky, you don’t even have to think about it.

At this moment, everyone has a printed mural map in their hands.

This map is the mural of the mysterious ruins in the Misty Canyon.

Chen Xuan had previously recorded it with a camera and a mobile phone.

Now it is printed out for them to refer to.

There are mainly eight marking points on the map.

Three of the marking points are marked with marks similar to asterisks.

There are also four marking points with circles.

However, the most eye-catching one is a hexagram marking point deep in the mountains.

Five of these marks are marked as [Danger] or [Extremely Dangerous] by [Insight].

Mainly those circle marks and hexagram marks.

The asterisk marks are not dangerous.

Matching this map with mural marks with the map outside the Misty Canyon will help you find the way forward.

The terrain marks on it are still very obvious.

It is worth mentioning that the Dark Crystal Mine of Ancetus is one of the star marks.

This may mean that the other two marks are also some kind of minerals.

Of course, this is just Chen Xuan's guess, and the specific situation will be clear at a glance.

Based on the principle of safety first, then danger, he plans to explore the three star marks first.

Then the circle marks marked with the note [Danger].

Finally, the hexagram marks marked with the note [Extreme Danger].

"Everyone."

Seeing that they were almost ready, Chen Xuan slowly spoke at this time.

Everyone looked at him, and their expressions became solemn.

"It may be dangerous to explore the Misty Canyon this time."

"Everyone must be careful and cautious, do not walk around casually, and do not touch unknown objects casually."

"The ruins in the Misty Canyon have nothing to do with the current natives of Naroa, nor with the monsters outside the domain."

"It is very likely that they are traces left by a civilization we have never seen."

"And it is a very powerful civilization."

Chen Xuan took precautions in advance.

According to the known information, the ruins in the Misty Canyon have nothing to do with the current natives of Naroa and the monsters outside the domain.

The history is also very long.

At least more than 100,000 Naroa years.

In other words, the people who left the ruins may not be the current natives of Naroa, but may be the natives of Naroa in ancient times.

The current multi-ethnic pattern cannot represent the entire history of the Naroa world.

This is also true for monsters.

Before them, there was a more powerful civilization in this world!

This world is full of weirdness, as if some mysterious power is interfering.

Perhaps by exploring those ancient ruins, more secrets can be discovered.

After hearing Chen Xuan's words, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Such a thing is undoubtedly subversive.

Before this, Chen Xuan found that the natives of Naroa did not care about the development of ancient ruins.

Not many scholars were willing to study it.

This seems to be related to the decline of astrology and lunar studies.

Although I don't want to emphasize conspiracy theories.

But the operation of the entire Naroa world, including monsters, has obvious signs of rule interference.

This is very abnormal in itself.

These words also mobilized their enthusiasm. In addition to meeting the rigid threshold condition of silver-level magic element cultivation, most of the guys who can be selected have adventure experience.

However, due to the influence of the contract, even though many people showed excited expressions on their faces, they did not dare to discuss it at will.

"You can discuss it on the way."

"Now we are about to set off."

"And what I want to tell you is that this time you may witness a miracle, or you may face death."

Chen Xuan changed the subject and revealed a more cruel reality.

"I am willing to sacrifice my life for my master!"

It is unknown which flatterer shouted first.

Then the members of the expedition team expressed their determination in unison.

They knelt on one knee, punched their chests, and knelt in front of Chen Xuan.

In response, Chen Xuan just nodded calmly.

As long as they are mentally prepared, it will be fine.

He no longer cared about such empty formalities.

The simple mobilization was over.

He took out a half-track off-road truck in front of everyone without hesitation.

This was an old-fashioned product he found in Dianyan, a modified version of the "GAZ" half-track truck from Sulian.

It was well maintained and the tire wear was OK.

The diesel engine had a very strong torque.

The half-track moving mechanism allowed it to move on most terrains like flat ground.

But these were not problems. If it really encountered a place it couldn't pass, everyone could get off the car and lift it over. In the magical world, it was not necessary to let the car carry people, and it was completely fine for people to carry the car.

"Get in the car."

Chen Xuan waved his hand.

Everyone got on the back bucket with heavy luggage.

The tracks on both sides sank visibly.

Twelve people actually made the "GAZ" bucket almost full.

But this was not difficult to understand.

Among the changes brought about by the magic element to temper the body was the increase in body density.

In addition, the average strength of a silver-level magic element practitioner is more than a ton.

Their bags weigh at least two or three hundred kilograms.

In this way, the load weight is at least six or seven tons.

You have to know that the GAZ truck is an old truck, not as loadable as the current mud truck.

In fact, it is only used to transport ammunition and food supplies on the battlefield.

But it doesn't matter, Su Lianhuo is tough.

Chen Xuan sat in the cab, started the engine, and after a slight idle warm-up.

The advantages of the diesel engine were fully utilized.

The GAZ half-track truck was like an old beast, making a huge roar.

The road wheels began to turn, and the steel tracks rubbed against the ground, heading out of the city.

The bumps, noise, and exhaust pipes spewing black smoke all destined this driving experience to not be too wonderful.

...

More than an hour later.

Misty Canyon Outpost.

The entrance here has been blocked by the garrison.

And a defensive sentry point has been established.

Of course, there are not many troops stationed here, only one squadron.

There is also a sentry point at the exit of the Misty Canyon, where more garrisons are stationed.

The entire canyon has also been partially renovated and a warehouse has been built.

It is mainly used to store food.

And this part of the food is used to supply the canyon defenders, dark gold miners and garrisons.

Changes are everywhere.

The GAZ half-track truck with exhaust gas stopped in front of the sentry point.

All members of the expedition team jumped off the truck bed.

Chen Xuan left the cab and opened the hood.

He saw the diesel engine intake that had been burned red.

At this time, the cylinder of the engine was emitting scorching heat, which could almost be used for barbecue.

The cooling fan at the front end was useless.

But it doesn't matter, burning red is common for old diesel engines.

Chen Xuan still remembers the single-cylinder diesel "Sanmazi" he saw in the countryside when he was a child. After loading, it either burned red or boiled. There was no fault, but it looked scary. It worked well after cooling down a little.

The torque of the old diesel engine is amazing.

There is a joke in the off-road world, whether you have a 4×4 or a 6×6.

Whether it is two locks or four locks.

If the off-road masters can't get through, they can definitely get through with a "three-horse".

This is indeed the case.

The durability of the old diesel engine can be seen.

The only drawback is that this thing is easy to start in winter.

The cylinder block needs to be burned.

This seems to be a common problem of diesel engines. Many diesel vehicles are placed in extremely cold environments, and now there will be such problems. Even if they are replaced with low-grade diesel, they cannot be completely solved.

In addition, if comfort is not considered, the comprehensive performance of diesel engines can be said to be better than gasoline engines.

So this old GAZ successfully completed the task.

All got off the car, and Chen Xuan put it in the storage compartment with his backhand.

The garrison at the front sentry saw that Chen Xuan had come in person, and hurriedly pulled open the heavy barricades used for blockade.

Everyone walked into the canyon.

It has been a while since I came here, and the fog here has dissipated a lot.

The air was no longer too humid.

As the ancient cave that once sealed the dragon was conquered.

The environment here also changed a lot.

Wherever there are monsters, there will always be obvious changes in the surrounding environment.

The bones that were originally scattered on the ground were cleaned up.

The remains of the monsters were uniformly pulled to the workshop in Magtan City to see if there were any parts worth recycling.

As for the bones of humans and other Naroa people, they were burned and buried.

This made the passage in the canyon much cleaner and tidier.

The air was no longer filled with strange smells.

A small team of garrison troops was assigned to the outpost of the Misty Canyon to lead the way.

When passing by the cave, Chen Xuan found that it had been transformed into a warehouse.

The cool and light-proof cave can indeed be regarded as a natural warehouse, which can save the trouble of digging again.

The rock mass here is very solid. According to the previous tests by the people sent by the Blacksmith Association and the Alchemy Association.

It was found that a lot of black iron and bronze were mixed in the rock mass.

The entire rock bed here has undergone large-scale melting.

The fierce high temperature turned the earth into magma, and the addition of a large amount of ore made it extremely hard after solidification. Even Chen Xuan couldn't find an adjective to describe how terrifying the axe that could split the canyon here was.

Continuing forward, we arrived at the mysterious ruins where the mural map was hidden before.

However, all the murals were chiseled off and stored in the storage compartment.

The rest of the places were also destroyed by him after filming and archiving.

This relic is quite involved.

There is no need to stay here.

Moreover, Chen Xuan has reason to suspect that the location of the dark gold mine that the black dragon Bailey gave to Ancetus was obtained from the ruins. For so many years, the depths of the Misty Mountains seem to have not been damaged.

Passing through the mysterious ruins, a few kilometers away from the exit of the Misty Canyon, the fragments left by the mysterious axe are in front.

The giant metal fragments are inserted obliquely into the ground of the rock base

The highest point of the fragments exposed on the ground is nearly 20 meters.

It is matte black all over, and it has almost merged with the rock base.

It looks like a "thin slice" cut from a rock wall.

In Chen Xuan's [Insight], the fragment's prompt information in [Insight] is:

[Remnant weapon fragments left over from ancient times]

[One-six-thousand-seven-hundred-and-eighty-second fragment of the tip of the Earth Fission Axe]

[Affected by the erosion of time, it has long lost its divinity, and the material itself has assimilated with the earth's rocks]

...

In other words, this huge fragment is only one-six-thousand-seven-hundred-and-eighty-second of the tip of the blade called [Earth Fission Axe].

I'm afraid that the length of the axe is at least tens of thousands of meters.

Unimaginable power.

Even a gold-level strongman is just an ant that can be crushed at any time in front of such a magic weapon.

Although Chen Xuan is not sure whether the owner of [Earth Fission Axe] has a clear connection with the mysterious ancient civilization.

But there is no doubt that they are all related to the Misty Canyon.

In addition, there is a terrifying thing when you think about it carefully.

That is, the [Axe of Earth Cataclysm] was broken here, which means that an unknown battle had taken place here.

The guy who could smash the [Axe of Earth Cataclysm] must be a more terrifying existence.

And Chen Xuan didn't know if there were other axe blade fragments scattered in the Misty Mountains.

Speaking of which, are those marked points in the mountains related to the battle that year?

Chen Xuan didn't know all this.

Even [Insight] could only feedback very limited information.

It was precisely because of this that he was looking forward to the situation in the Misty Mountains.

The map drawn here was very crude and stopped abruptly just a few kilometers before the Misty Canyon.

The map surveyor was unable to go deep into it at the beginning.

But it doesn't matter, the mural map can provide a reference for the next trip.

It draws the exit of the canyon, the undulating mountain curves, ruins, lakes and caves.

The entire mural map looks blurry, but it can still be used as a reference after careful identification.

He simply explained the situation of the axe blade to everyone in the expedition team.

Everyone was stunned.

They looked at the fragments on the ground of the embedded rock base with eyes full of awe.

…
