Chapter 440 Digging a hole, I mean digging a tunnel is a magical skill
The dim lantern emits an orange light, giving people the illusion that it will be extinguished at any time. [r />
The shaking flame lengthened Sivi's shadow, dancing wildly on the wall of the corridor like a monster.
This is about 120 meters underground in the Holy Land. The corridor starting from the villa warehouse where he currently lives was dug out. In front of Xiwei, a mouse-type monster with an appearance that is not much different from a voles, but a size larger than a buffalo is working hard to dig the corridor.
As the giant mouse advanced, Xiwei followed slowly.
The grounds under the Holy Land are all marbles blessed by the God's Fate. Theoretically, it is impossible for a high-level magician who specializes in earth element magic to do anything to this integrated marble. Even when the Holy Land itself develops an underground temple, it can only dig out bit by bit with brute force...
But there is no absolute in the world. For Shaman, who is already comparable to that of the President of the Mage Council, and even in some aspects, it is not difficult to solve this problem.
The earth vein digger (elemental type, tooth beast species, unknown level of attack), also called the stone mouse. Although it looks like an enlarged version of the field mouse, it is actually a real earth element creature. What flows in the body is not blood, but the essence of the earth element, and the best alchemy material "Demon Dust" that countless earth element magicians dream of.
It’s a pity that these big guys only live in the earth element plane and cannot stay in the main material plane for too long. In fact, most of the demon dust in the main material plane is carried by some indigenous people (such as the people of rock) who can communicate with humans on the earth element plane.
If the Rock Behemoth can control wilderness and mountains, then the earth vein diggers can destroy all items containing earth elements. They have a magical spell-like ability, which is similar to the second-ring earth element magic fossils into mud, but unlike the fossils into mud, no matter what level of earth element magic, or legendary earth element treasures, they can be turned into a pool of mud by its spell-like ability... They can be regarded as a killer weapon for protecting earth elements.
It is precisely because of this that it can ignore the influence of the magical arts and cultivate such a corridor on hard marble like gnawing soda biscuits.
After gnawing for a while, the body of the digger of the ground vein began to appear like dry and cracked mud, and there were dense cracks, and fragments peeled off from time to time.
This shows that this guy's stay in the main material plane has reached its limit.
Xiwei didn't make things difficult for it, and directly sent it back to the earth element plane.
Just as he was about to summon another digger of the earth vein, a head suddenly poked out from the wall of the corridor.
After discovering that he could not scare Severe, Fitt pulled his whole body out of the wall.
"How is it ahead?" Xi Weirao looked at the ghost girl's performance with interest, and asked at the same time.
"It's awful. From here, there are open barriers twenty meters ahead, sixty meters and one hundred and ten meters. The first two are the Niussi system and the Lanzalete system. With my own eyesight, magic knowledge and the ability of the ghost species, I can barely pass through without touching its alarm, and the third barrier is completely helpless. I have never seen that strange composition system."
Fitt stroked the ponytail on his left, took off the hairband on it, and tied it again: "And unlike in the academy, it feels uncomfortable to walk through these marbles, and it feels like suffocation... Well, although I don't have to breathe."
"Is there no way you even..." Xiwei touched his chin and thought about it. Then he decided: "No matter what, if I don't see the real thing, even if I can't determine what the situation is, I'd better keep moving forward."
"After that being said...why use a lantern? Isn't magic like lighting balls more convenient?"
"Personal hobby." Xiwei gave the girl a thumbs up: "Don't you think this is more atmosphere?"
“…”
Unfortunately, the destination this time is underground. If it is in the air, no matter how tight the defense is, as long as you can enter Xiwei's sight line, you can easily invade through the gap without knowing it.
Resummoned a digger of the earth vein, and under the guidance of Fite, Sivi continued to slowly move towards their goal of the trip.
The summoning of the earth vein digger is not free... Even in the earth element plane, these guys are hiding underground. They are integrated with the earth and are very difficult to detect (so the supply of demon dust has always been small).
There is no magic that can directly designate the magic of summoning the earth vein diggers. The reason why Sivi could summon them so easily was entirely due to the system's blessing of the "Clan Contract" sold by the store.
The "Clan Contract" is a very interesting prop. It looks like a piece of paper about the size of a powerful person's certificate. However, as long as you specify a creature on it and then activate any summoning technique, you can summon it after paying twice the cost of summoning the creature that is usually summoned (usually magic, dragons, etc.) (Additionally, it will require a little sparkling thing to add).
The validity time of a "Clan Contract" is twelve hours. In other words, within these twelve hours, Xiwei will fail no matter what he wants to recruit, and then force a digger to summon...
Of course, for the current Sivi, ordinary summoning creatures are no longer useful.
A digger of the earth vein can exist in the main material plane for about 5 minutes, which can allow it to dig about a distance of about ten meters.
Ten minutes later, Sivi encountered what Fite called the first barrier.
This barrier is spherical, including the entire underground temple. If you pass through it directly, it will definitely trigger the alarm, and it will definitely not be able to lift it... The barrier suddenly disappears in front of the guards and is no different from the direct contact alarm...
However, this barrier is as Fitt said, clearly organized and so standard that it can be recorded in textbooks.
The more widely used things, the higher the practical value, and the same is true in the magic world. Although this barrier can be seen everywhere, due to countless improvements and optimizations, in addition to the cost being much higher than the previous version, it has long become very difficult to crack.
But Sivi had no intention of cracking it from the beginning.
As mentioned before, his knowledge reserves are extremely amazing in the entire eastern plain. This level of barrier is not difficult for him - he can even add two undetectable strokes to the barrier composition without touching the alarm pattern inside, so that the entire barrier pattern will lose all the effects while maintaining its operation, making it no different from a huge soap bubble!
In fact, he did that too.
The same is true for the second barrier. Although it has obviously been transformed and optimized by the Sanctuary itself, it is not enough to see in the face of Civine's huge experience...
The most important thing is the third barrier.
"This is indeed a structure that has never been seen before." Xiwei frowned and looked at the manifestation of the barrier: "Although it has not reached the point where there is no trace at all... but it may take a lot of time to analyze its body through these small tails."
It's like finding the thread tips in a pile of wool and slowly combing them all out. Although it's not particularly difficult, it's very time-consuming.
It is speculated that it will take about two full days to fully deduce it, and this is based on the fact that Xiwei has a huge knowledge base and the Three Sages System helps him perform calculations... In addition, it takes another calculation time to crack this barrier.
Although Xiwei did not lack two days, this almost useless thing still made him feel very upset.
"Since you don't want to deduce slowly, then just break it open? According to the map, the room we talked about with the Knight Girl is probably separated by a wall." Fitt suggested from the side.
"Hey, if we do that, won't we be discovered!" Xiwei sighed: "In this way, all efforts will become truly useless until just now, right?"
"So, even if the other party knows that there is an 'invader', so what? As long as they don't catch the invaders, it's okay to be our evidence." The ghost girl said nothing about this.
"You mean, you can flash at a glance?"
Fossils into mud cannot turn the marble blessed by the divine Technique into soil, but turning mud into stone can easily turn the soil back into marble. As long as the other party has no tangible evidence, even if they suspect Xiwei, they will not dare to take a big magician... After all, the big magician is not a pariah who can easily be beaten into a deceased person.
Xiwei understood this, but he was still hesitant: "But, if you do this, it's still..."
"When did you become so worried?" Fitt smiled: "You who rashly broke into my sealed demon king's land was not like this. Take it easy and don't become timid after you gain strength."
“…You are right.”
Xiwei took a deep breath, then casually called out a black magic ball the size of a basketball, and directly hit the marble covering the barrier with one ball.
"Since that's the case, let's do a big fight!"
With the loud marble shattered, he yelled at Fite with a relaxed smile on his face.
