Just as the sun was rising and Chen Xing was lying on the branches of the tree with his eyes closed to rest, a shimmer of light as white as sand came into the plane.
The sunlight seems to have weakened ten times, but I can already see things vaguely, and it is no longer so thick and dark that I can't see my fingers.
This is a sign that the space is becoming more integrated and stable. The external sunlight can already shine through the holes in the space barrier that are as dense as a honeycomb. Likewise, air will begin to exchange. It's just that in the early days, the holes in the space barrier were not dense enough, and not many could pass through.
As the degree of fusion deepens, the permeability can reach up to 70% of the outside. Judging from the current light, the transmittance should be around 20%, so lighting still needs to rely on other light sources.
A pure white light shone on the plain, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver sand.
At the end of the plain, in the canyon between the two peaks, a fortress stood majestically.
At this time, three huge incandescent beams shot out from the top of the fortress, sweeping back and forth between the peaks, canyons, and plains.
There are more small beams of light on the outside of the fortress, intertwined with the sky, like an open-air concert scene.
Several large incandescent lamps were lit on the walls of the fortress, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. Heavily armed soldiers patrolled and guarded the city walls, and they were heavily guarded.
The roar of the generator came from within the city walls, and the noisy sound tore through the silent world. The pungent smell of fuel hit my nose, as if to announce that the owner of this place had changed.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
In the lobby of the fortress, the lights were bright, and a huge shadow was dragging on the ground. The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was mixed with the sound of mechanical gears grinding.
Looking up, it was a giant puppet more than ten meters tall. The body was wrapped in rotten bandages, and the damaged areas revealed brass shells or rotating mechanical gears.
There are two glowing red eyes on the head like an iron can. As the head turns, it stretches and twists like a camera.
This is a mechanical spirit, a kind of creation spirit. Compared with the magic spirit driven by magic energy, the mechanical spirit of steam and mechanical power is more powerful.
On the arm of the giant puppet sat a middle-aged nobleman in gorgeous clothes. He has a majestic face and a serious expression.
At this time, the middle-aged noble looked forward, looking at the golden door in the middle of the hall.
The door frame is inlaid with gems of seven colors, which shine under the light.
"Dogarmaso!"
Following the middle-aged noble's order, the giant puppet walked to the door step by step, first put down its master, then twisted its waist, raised its fists, and its eyes glowed red. At the same time, the engine on his back began to run at high power, making a sound like a steam train.
The huge body spun faster and faster, and then punched out.
"Boom!"
The mechanical fist hit the golden door, but like an invisible force, the fist stopped one millimeter away from the door. It could no longer move forward, and a piece of paper could be inserted into the gap.
"Lord Viscount, this door is very strong. We used a lot of explosives but couldn't blow it open." A young mercenary who looked like an adjutant said, and then added, "We can't destroy it, including the surrounding walls."
"Hmm..." The middle-aged noble nodded, "Maybe there is some kind of automatically running rune circuit engraved on the back of this door, and the long years have not exhausted its power core."
"If I remember correctly, there were several mythical worlds discovered before.
There was a similar golden door, but no one could open it. The middle-aged noble gave up easily, "It seems we can only look for the key." "
His subtext is that if others can't solve the problem for so long, they shouldn't waste time.
"Lord Viscount, are we waiting here all the time?" the young adjutant asked.
"Earl Brooke and the others found clues to the golden key and another forgery. We must stay here to ensure that no one takes advantage of it."
"Yes, Lord Viscount."
The middle-aged nobleman clenched his white-gloved fist and said, "This time, our Steam Alliance will definitely win a big victory!"
Time passed quickly, and it was the night of the next day in a blink of an eye.
Chen Xing slept in a tree all day and entered the goddess world again at night.
Goblin torches illuminated the surroundings, which were ruins of low houses with adobe walls, rarely more than two stories.
Chen Xing asked the goblins to search, but found nothing except dead bones that turned to dust and some clay pots.
The rooms here are generally dark and small, with only simple doors and windows, just a hole in the wall. It seems that those who live here are slave laborers of native species.
The goddess warriors would definitely not live in such a shabby place. They all lived in tall temples and lived a clean and tidy collective life.
After walking among the ruins for more than forty minutes, Chen Xing saw a temple.
It is very similar to the temple I saw before, but it is relatively complete, and the stone wall outside has not collapsed.
However, the goblins who were exploring accidentally encountered it, and a large area immediately collapsed, crushing several of them and dying.
The tall hall was illuminated by fire, with a ceiling of nearly a hundred meters. Bat Knight flew up, and the torch illuminated the reliefs on the stone wall.
The relief image is faintly visible. After understanding the relevant history, you can see that it depicts the depraved life of Emperor Shalafe in the wine pond and meat forest.
The faceless emperor sat in the middle, with white meat on both sides. In front of the throne was a large pool, and a woman holding a wine barrel was pouring wine into the pool. Another relief next to it shows various punishments in the palace, which are bloody, cruel and shocking.
His eyes left the relief and returned to the hall. Two rows of long stone tables run through the entire hall. There are metal utensils on the stone table, including cups and plates.
Seeing these tableware, Chen Xing suddenly thought, these goddess warriors do not work or work, what do they usually eat?
He soon found the answer to this question.
It was an inconspicuous sideboard, simple and honest, placed in the corner. But when you open the wooden cabinet door, you can see fresh fruits, bread and milk inside. After taking it out and opening it again after a while, the things are full again. Although the variety is a bit monotonous and there is no meat, it is no problem to eat well and eat healthily.
I didn't expect to find an infinite fake artifact here.
Chen Xing was overjoyed, activated the spirit quenching technique, and stamped his palm on the sideboard.
"boom!"
The sideboard cracked into pieces and turned into a pile of sawdust.
In the spiritual sea, a sideboard slowly fell. Finally, it landed on the open space of the island. The goblins gathered around it, groped for a while, and found that there was food inside. They immediately dumped the cabinet, and the food was scattered on the floor. They rushed to grab it and stuffed it into their mouths.
The total amount of food is not much, and it is replenished only every once in a while. Only a few goblins got the food
. After they were full of wine and food, they roared boldly and tore off their rags, revealing their massive muscles.
Goblin Warriors are stronger and braver than ordinary Goblin Warriors, but they are only "more".
Chen Xing was in a good mood after unexpectedly gaining new troops. Goblins were sent to search around the temple, but nothing valuable was found.
There should be more than one such food cabinet, and there might be one in other temples. Then Chen Xing left and headed to the next place.
"Bang bang!"
While walking through the ruins, gunfire suddenly rang out, and Chen Xing sensed that several goblins exploring the path in front of him were killed.
With a thought in his mind, more goblins poured out of the field, searching in the direction of the gunfire.
"Wujiajia! Wujiajia!"
After a while, the goblins let out excited screams. In Goblin language, Wujiaga means "good-looking female".
Two panicked faces were reflected in the firelight. The two female mercenaries were surrounded by goblins. In the desperate situation, their bodies could not help but tremble.
After seeing Chen Xing, the two women relaxed visibly. Humans can still communicate, but if they were mutant creatures, that would be the end of it.
"You have hurt my Yuling." Chen Xing said.
"I'm sorry, sir, we didn't know it was your subordinate." said the stronger-looking female mercenary.
"Sir, we are willing to pay the price..." The weaker-looking female mercenary unbuttoned her collar and wanted to show her worth. The strong female mercenary immediately glared and cursed, "Stop, you don't want this. Face stuff!”
Many of the female mercenaries are lace, so I guess these two are a couple. The stronger one is "T", and the weaker one is "P" or "H".
According to different sexual orientations, lace can be roughly divided into three types: T, P, and H.
T is purely attacking, H is purely receiving, and P is between the two and can be attacked or received. From Chen Xing's perspective, Aaliyah is a typical P, the type who can advance, retreat, and accept.
"Don't be nervous, I just need you to answer some questions." Chen Xing said.
The two female mercenaries were immediately relieved, and at this time the goblins also gave way. Most of them returned to the domain, leaving only a few holding torches for lighting.
"Sir, just ask, we will definitely cooperate well." said the strong female mercenary.
"Very good." Chen Xing nodded, and then asked them about the known situation.
From their mouths, Chen Xing learned that they were currently on the edge of the city. There was a huge fortress 20 kilometers north of the city, but the fortress was now controlled by people from the "Steam Alliance."
The Steam Alliance is a multinational organization, mainly composed of some strong men from the sanctuary who use mechanical soul control. It has no mandatory binding force on its members and is equivalent to the nature of a club.
The initiator of this exploration operation was Earl Brook of Iron Fist, and several strong men from the Steam Alliance also came.
Other organizations also sent people, but they were not as high-profile as the Steam Alliance this time.
After asking, Chen Xing let them go. He is not a bully, and he will not make things difficult for others as long as the other party does not offend him.
Then, Chen Xing walked towards the fortress outside the city. According to Bai Shui's information, the treasure house is in the fortress. Although he doesn't want to take the initiative to provoke disputes, there is no way to get the tiger's cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den. If you want benefits, you have to fight for them with your fists.
