Chapter 563 Adaptive Changes in the Void

After walking along the mine road railway for about half an hour, the explosion-proof lights that could not completely illuminate the mine road completely disappeared. In the silent tunnel, only two portable miner’s lamps shone dimly and swaying brightly.

After passing through the wooden frame of several mine tunnel support structures, the suddenly narrow tunnel ahead became a bit difficult to walk. Large pieces of broken rock and small piles of ore were scattered randomly everywhere and disappeared in the flash of fire.

At the end of the road is a boulder blocking the road. There is a passage blocked by wooden planks at the lower right of the boulder. Lester can hear the whirring of the wind on the other side of the passage.

“That’s it, go through this opening all the way down, and walk down to the Devil’s Pit in about a few minutes. It is a natural deep mine. We have organized an exploration team to explore in depth. The Devil’s Mine contains abundant reserves. Silver veins and crystal veins, if not for several accidents, this place would not have been abandoned by us, now it is different from before, everyone’s life is getting better, there is really no need to die for a little money.”

With a hard kick to the plank slats in the way, Laurie, who had expected it, smiled ingratiatingly.

“It’s just a bit of work to get this thing out of the way, but I still have to persuade me again, Lord Liszt, or let’s stop there, my life doesn’t matter, anyway, the factory manager has already arranged my family, It doesn’t matter if I die here, and the same is true for this old guy, Queler, who is terminally ill and half a rebel.

You are different. You are so young and a big businessman with emerald collar. You must have a bright future in this turbulent era. The place you should go in and out is the noble banquet hall. There is really no need to take this with us rough people out of curiosity risk. ”

This time, the old miner didn’t follow him to dissuade him, he just looked at Lester and nodded vigorously.

Lester knew that the two kind-hearted people were not afraid of death. At least 60% of the dissuasion was sincere, but he also had a reason to go. In the investigation of the blade of the night, Malphite’s eighth most likely appeared. This is where Malphite is most likely to appear in an underground mine.

He couldn’t bet that the Nightblade killer would anger Malphite and cause Malphite to leave Zaun’s underworld, and he couldn’t be sure if the Nightblade killer could convince Malphite to meet and chat with him. You can only do this on your own.

At the time of Zaun’s upheaval, he will seize whatever power he can, and try to make Malphite the wiser as his aid and ally.

With Malphite’s help, not to mention Malphite’s ability to suppress the Void forces, just relying on Malphite to find Skarner’s ancestral land is enough to make Lester unscrupulous.

The Emerald Collar does not need, nor does it have to wait for decades until someone from the Philos family obtains the life crystals of the Shell people, and possesses the key information of Leicester, the Emerald Collar can do everything by itself.

Emerald collars who have obtained life crystals can develop hex crystal technology as soon as possible. With their monopoly on hex crystals, jade collars can do many things, including complete control of Piltover and future ancestors. install.

This time, he is sure to make things clear.

“Don’t worry about my safety, let’s go, don’t forget our agreement.”

“Okay, old Queller, give me a light.”

“okay.”

With a deep sigh, Laurie gave up his dissuasion and began to pry the planks with a crowbar.

It took more effort than expected to pry open the solid plank that had been nailed to it. It took Laurie ten minutes to remove a quarter of it. The narrow passage was tightly blocked by criss-crossing wooden sticks. Layer after layer blocking the front.

The panting Laurie overestimated his physical strength, and he couldn’t let the frail old miner get started, so he could only smile awkwardly.

“Lister Liszt, I’ll take a break. In order to prevent miners from sneaking in to collect crystals, this place is a bit tight, and it’s not very easy to deal with…”

“Let me do it.”

“Ah? Uh, crowbar…”

Before Laurie could finish speaking, Lester, who pulled out Luoxia, slashed it with one knife. The solid wooden board with the thickness of an adult’s arm was cut in two from the cut. After a few more cuts, the wooden board blocking the road fell like tofu. fall to the ground.

It took a few more knives to open the barricade, and Lester smiled slightly.

“Looks like you need a crowbar more than I do, don’t you?”

With a shy smile, Laurie inserted the crowbar back into the case.

“…You can use swordsmanship in such a narrow place, your martial arts are really amazing.”

“Squeak!”

“Hey, Lord Liszt, even the big mouse praises you.”

Knowing the ‘real’ force of Lester, Laurie and Queler had a slightly more relaxed look on their faces.

“Okay, don’t compliment, let’s go.”

“Old Queller, you have to lead the way.”

“Okay, I’ll go ahead, cough…”

After walking tens of meters and crossing two forks, the terrain suddenly dropped.

After walking for another 100 meters, the three people who were speechless all the way finally came to the entrance of the ‘Devil’s Mine’. The entrance of the mine, which is only three meters long and two meters wide, is located on a relatively flat rocky land. See a lot of broken amethyst.

Picking up the thumb-sized crystal shard from the ground, Lester rolled it twice, frowned, and glanced at the hole where the moisture was exuding.

Not noticing Lester’s abnormal performance, Laurie pointed to the extinguished torch on the wall: “Is there any problem here?”

After sniffing hard for a few times, and confirming that there was no flammable gas leaking from the big gray mouse, Queller nodded.

“No problem, let’s go.”

With Queller’s consent, Laurie poured grease on the torch head and lit it with a portable match. The bright light of the torch improved the visibility of the hole a lot.

When he came to Lester, Laurie said with a serious face.

“Below this is the Devil’s Mine,

The terrain of the Devil’s Mine is extremely complex. Often, within a dozen meters of walking, there will be many very similar fork roads. Some fork roads will lead to another fork road that keeps you spinning in place, and some fork roads lead to unknown dangerous directions. , collapse, poison gas and groundwater will also appear at any time and take people’s lives,

In order to explore a safe road, hundreds of lives have been lost in the Devil’s Mine, and it has been more than 20 years since I last came here. After passing through the Devil’s Mine, you can only follow the signs all the way, bypassing the maze passage of several hundred meters to reach the lower space. The silver mine and the crystal mine are also there. Since the earth dragon appeared more than 20 years ago, there There is no way to continue mining the mineral resources.

Even if you don’t talk about the screaming demons and the earth dragons that cause earthquakes in the mouths of the miners, there is no large-scale equipment and safety devices for directional development, and there is no need to think about getting out of it safe and sound…”

“Okay, give me the lamp, you guys stay here and wait for me, I’ll go down and have a look myself, I’ll be up in a while.”

“Okay, then be careful.”

The miner’s lamp was found in Laurie’s hands, and Lester jumped in, leaving only the two of them looking at each other.

“Lauri, this young man brought by Jade has really gone down. I don’t know whether to say that the ignorant are fearless, or that the master of art is bold, ahem… He lives well, but he doesn’t cherish life so much.”

“I have already seen that this Liszt is definitely not an ordinary person, old guy, I guess we are also worrying about it, just that knife is not something that ordinary people can have. I thought it was a toy used by the noble master to trick the little girl, no Thinking that cutting such thick solid wood is like cutting an onion, it is estimated that it can be exchanged for a mansion in the wealthy area of ​​Zaun when it is put on the auction floor.”

Somewhat disapproving of Queller’s sigh, Laurie sat down on the ground and sighed with emotion.

“If you want me to say, it is estimated that there are treasures in this mine that we don’t know about. People are watching, otherwise they will not be so active. In your eyes, the danger is an opportunity for others.”

“You don’t mean to…”

Queller narrowed his eyes and looked a little weird, but Laurie laughed and scolded.

“Old man, what do you think? Some things you have to take with your life, and you have to spend your life. The things under this devil’s mine are not something we can move at all, and it is enough to live in peace for this lifetime.”

“Fuck it, you can live a stable life, if you really think so, how can you be greedy for so much money?”

Laurie didn’t care about Queller’s disdain.

“I’m greedy for so much money, I can’t be greedy for so much money. Even if the factory manager is looking for me, I can handle it.

Unlike a rotten person like me, you are honest, you are hardworking, you are noble, but you have no money, what can you do without money?

You have been a miner for decades, and I have been a foreman for five years. I have hundreds of people under my control. The factory manager even instructed me to entertain Mr. Liszt. Don’t think about why the factory manager didn’t come to you. to do this?

Old Queler, this is the difference between you and me. The factory manager and those big businessmen only care about money and don’t care about the life and death of the workers. They want a stable and wealth-creating factory, and the others don’t care at all.

Let me tell you, as long as I put enough money in their pockets, they’ll never trouble me, it’s only a self-righteous guy like you who troubles me, but you can only get along , you don’t have the ability to be like me, you just can’t eat grapes and eat sour grapes.

I will retire immediately after finishing this. Even if I see the matter of entertaining Lord Liszt, the factory manager will not embarrass me. I greedy enough money to buy a few good locations in Zaan, and you Woolen cloth? He has been working hard for decades, working hard under the mine, smelling with his nose to know if the tunnel can be ignited, and even a fart can find a way to survive through the echo,

You are so powerful, so powerful that you have made yourself half-dead, you have done what you do without a penny, you are seriously ill, your wife runs away with someone, even your kid looks down on you, you have lived your whole life, what are you trying to do?

You are useless in this life, if you want me to say, you should learn something in your next life, broaden your horizons, and be cruel. Only by stepping on someone else’s head will you be able to succeed. Don’t be a worker all your life, let alone be a rotten. Good man, if you treat you like that, you still want to leave some money for that bastard. I feel useless for you. In my opinion, that kind of **** should just let him fend for himself, whether he gets stabbed or not. ”

…

Not knowing that Laurie had taught Queler a lesson in his skeptical life, Lester, who entered the deep mine tunnel, stared at the sign on the supporting wooden frame and sighed softly.

As Laurie said, most of the signs had rotted away in the damp mines and couldn’t be used for wayfinding at all, but that wasn’t a problem for Lester as he wasn’t going to use signs in the first place. Sign the way.

By fusing the rune fragments of the world, Lester can already perceive the flow of elements in the direction. Normally, this does not help him find the correct path. After all, element energy is everywhere in Rune Land, but once it is affected by void energy , the element turns into a conspicuous purple band of light,

At this moment, in Leicester’s elemental vision, an infected purple energy light belt has pointed the direction for him. He is 80% sure that there is some kind of void creature at the end of the light belt, and Malphite is likely to be There, otherwise, the void creatures would have run out to harm humans.

Lester, who had confirmed the route of travel, immediately quickened his pace and used Luoxia to mark along the way while running to the road without a signboard to move forward quickly.

The man ignored the pit under his feet and the poisonous gas in the air, left the deadly Devil’s Mine in less than five minutes, and arrived at a deeper underground open space without any risk.

The magnificent and eerie clusters of colored crystals grow on the surface of the red rocks, and the luminous mica glows with a dazzling fluorescence, which is beautiful in the dark underground world. A small world hidden underground comes into view. With the ability of night vision, Lester turned off the portable miner’s lamp and placed the miner’s lamp where he came out to mark the exit.

The man’s eyes were on the strange purple lichen that surrounded the crystal cluster, he drew out the magic steel long sword Luoxia again, and walked slowly.

Like an active mushroom creep, it is distributed in small pieces around the crystal clusters and covered on the rocks, UU reading www. uukanshu.com seemed to sense Lester’s breath, and the fungus began to wriggle violently, growing dense mouthparts like octopus suckers. While moving in Lester’s direction, the mouthparts continued to release enough to kill into the air. Spore-like paralytic toxin of dead normal adults.

It was a pity that this toxin had no effect on Lester, who had long since left the mortal body, and Lester didn’t even bother to wear a gas mask.

Slashed with a sword, the protruding mouthparts were directly smashed by the sword’s edge, and the retracted mushroom crept became much wilted.

These creeps actually know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Gently vibrating the knife peak, the purple juice on the sunset drew a thin line on the ground. He squatted down and squeezed a little purple juice. Lester was sure that these thin lines of purple juice rich in vitality would not last long. will grow into a new creep.

“Although this kind of thing grows slowly, it is extremely aggressive, but it is in line with the characteristics of some void creatures. It seems that there is indeed a source of void energy in the underground of Zaun, but I don’t know if the smart Malphite is also here.”
