The age of great voyages

Chapter 102 The Sandworm Crisis Resolved

Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, at worst, the fragments of the world where the base is located will be forcibly divided, at least it will not be a problem to keep the original foundation.

A man is dead and a bird is up to the sky, and he will not die for thousands of years. A man has to fight in his life. Even if he fails, he will not regret it. If he really fails, he can go back and inherit the billions of dollars. Cough, it is the Far South Territory.

When he saw the information about the world debris group of Lei Yuan No. [-] that he was most concerned about, the battle outside the city wall was almost over. Groups of sandworm tribes came and were killed. After knowing how many batches were killed, the follow-up ones couldn't keep up for a while.

The huge gap in the city wall was filled with mutilated corpses, and a large amount of blood seeped into the ground, dyeing a large area of ​​land into red bloody soil.

A large number of sand scorpions are using pliers to pick up and transport the remains of sandworms to the space in the heart of the sand scorpion's lair for storage. The happy appearance seems to be in line with their appetite.

There are a total of twenty sand scorpions, and now there are only a dozen or so left. Even if they were not allowed to participate in the battle, they were accidentally killed, and several of them were accidentally trampled to death by the mountain giant king.

The first-rank sand scorpions are basically useless, except for patrolling and guarding. Their biggest role is as workers to carry things. Before they are promoted, they cannot be expected to fight.

The first-order sand scorpion lair promotion requirements are not very high. You only need one hundred eternal points and ten first-order spirit stones to advance. One point.

In fact, the energy contained in spirit stones is not as good as power stones, but the spiritual energy contained in spirit stones can be directly absorbed and refined, while power stones cannot, so the price difference is very large.

When the ten spirit stones are delivered, he will immediately advance the Heart of the Nest to a higher level. After the promotion, he will know the conditions for the next level of promotion. If it is not too outrageous, he will have to advance again.

The creatures recruited by the low-level lair heart are really too bad. No matter what, it takes the second level to be useful, and it is best to use the third level to help him gain a foothold in this world.

The Mountain Giant King can only be used to guard the base, the two-headed ogre Akron and the Akron brothers can be regarded as a general, and the Scarlet Lady is going to use him as his personal bodyguard. People, he is very short of people now, whether it is the cannon fodder of soldiers, or talents from all walks of life, he needs to spend money to recruit them.

He is going to wait for the base to get on the right track and establish the teleportation circle, so he will go to the forward base established by Hunyuan Qizong in the Leiyuan World Fragment Group, and recruit a group of management talents there, and recruit some people from the family by the way Let's prop up the shelf of the lord's mansion first.

Standing on the edge of the gap in the city wall, Lin Chen commanded the mountain giant to repair the small section of the city wall that had been overturned by several large sandworms before, and filled the big pit on the ground and solidified it into rock again, allowing the two-headed ogre Akron and Aku The two Long brothers returned to the barracks first and prepared a lot of food for him, including some sandworm meat.

All resources are lacking here, and meat is even more scarce. Although sandworms are humanoid creatures, they are essentially larger insects. Some parts of their bodies have good quality meat, which can be peeled off and stored as meat.

Of course, he and Lady Scarlet won't eat it. It's food for the sand scorpions and the two-headed ogre brothers. They're not human either, so there's no psychological burden to eat insect meat, as long as there's something to eat.

The intensity of the following battles became lower and lower. After the first large number of sandworms came, although there were sandworm tribes coming from behind from time to time, they could no longer pose any threat to them. He asked the two-headed ogre brothers to guard, He brought the mountain giant Xiaoxiao to the back of the base city, and raised a city wall to enclose an area, preparing to place a large hidden magic circle.

The tree of life is too big, and it definitely cannot fit in the current city. Only a new area will be drawn, and the future base will extend around the tree of life.

Time passed quickly, the expanded city wall was completed on the second day, and before dawn on the third day, he was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt someone shaking him, and when he woke up, he saw Lady Scarlet next to him, and saw him waking up. to point out.

Confused, Lin Chen got up from the hard slate bed in a cloaked coat. When he reached the door, he saw a big bird hovering in the dark sky. With the light of the bonfire that was burning in the courtyard all night and was about to be extinguished, he saw that it was a bird that was bigger than the last time he saw it. To the smaller giant eagle, a human head protruded from it and shouted at him:
"Is it Boss Lin? I'm Xu Yiqing from the Condor Chamber of Commerce. I'm here to deliver the goods."

At this time, a soft ball of light illuminated the figure on the back of the eagle. It was Xu Yiqing. He nodded and waved his hands. The two-headed ogre Akron and Akron brothers who were guarding the door put down their maces. , sat down on the stone slab to rest.

Since coming out of Rubik's Cube space, this ogre brother's loyalty to him has exploded. If there is an attribute panel to see it, you can definitely see that their loyalty column has exceeded 8, and it has become an inverted [-]-character symbol , the kind that cannot be countered.

In fact, not only the two-headed ogre brothers, but also the Mountain Giant King and the scarlet lady Lin Roy were absolutely loyal and reliable.

Xu Yiqing jumped off the eagle's back, followed closely by a middle-aged man with an expressionless face and a scar across the bridge of his nose. As soon as he landed, a strong pressure hit his face, making him breathless. One suffocation, this is a master.

The scarlet lady behind him appeared in front of him at the moment the breath surged to block the powerful aura. The two-headed ogre Akron and Akron brothers who had just sat down also stood up abruptly. Eyeballs as big as copper bells stared at the man in black, with an expression of choosing someone and devouring him.

Of course Xu Yiqing was aware of this, and without caring to be amazed by Lady Scarlet's appearance, he quickly explained:
"Boss Lin, don't worry, this is the Chamber of Commerce's guards. They are just escorting the arrival of the goods, and they will never be detrimental to customers. Please rest assured."

Lin Chen glanced at the middle-aged man whose expression changed slightly, and waved his hand. The scarlet lady silently moved to his side. The two-headed ogre brother's fierce face disappeared, but he did not put down the weapon in his hand.

Seeing this, Xu Yiqing felt helpless. One was the guard of his own chamber of commerce and he had no right to command, and the other was that the boss didn't dare to say anything. He just laughed dryly and said to Lin Chen while taking out a few palm-sized pockets from his body:

"I've brought the goods you want, you should check them out first."

Putting the storage bag in front of him, he took out the signal tower and activated it again to prepare for delivery. Lin Chen picked up a storage bag and opened it to check the contents.

These are special storage bags for Condor Chamber of Commerce transactions, with the logo of Condor Chamber of Commerce on them. According to the specifications, there are ten cubic meters, one hundred cubic meters, or even one thousand cubic meters of space inside, which can store a large amount of goods.

He opened the pockets one by one and counted them, and quickly finished counting. All the purchased things were in place, including the concealment circle. He lifted the storage bag and looked at the back of the giant eagle. He asked suspiciously:

"Who will install this magic circle?"

Xu Yiqing pointed to the middle-aged man and said:

"In addition to being a caravan guard, this gentleman is also good at formations. He will install large and medium-sized hidden formations. The small one is a formation disk, and you can install it yourself."

Lin Chen nodded, and said to the middle-aged man:

"That's Mr. Law."

He still respects professionals with special skills, even if they are not professional formation mages, they still have skills, which is much better than him who doesn't know anything.

However, the Condor Chamber of Commerce gave him an introduction to basic formations. If you have nothing to do, you can read it to understand it. If you don't want to become a master of formations, at least you need to understand a little bit.

And he doesn't know if it can be strengthened with potential points. If it can't be strengthened, then let's find out. But if it can be strengthened with potential points, hehe, that would be great.

Special professional abilities such as array formation, forging, alchemy, alchemy and enchantment, etc. belong to advanced talents. There is no threshold requirement for learning these abilities. Anyone who has a book on this field can learn by themselves. There is no threshold, but if you want to learn It is difficult to achieve something and reach a certain level, and it is not ordinary difficult.

Any special professional ability has tiers. Different professions have different tiers. Some special occupations have more or less levels, but they can be divided into seven levels: beginner, master, proficient, expert, master, master, and god. rank.

It's like alchemy. Getting started is to independently refine a furnace of any pill, which can be regarded as a beginner, and you can do it with a little talent.

However, the difficulty of mastering is greatly increased in an instant, and it needs to be proficient in refining at least ten different types of elixir. Without a certain talent, it only depends on time. It may take decades to learn by rote.

As for proficiency, it really requires talent, even if you want to endure it, you may not be able to survive it.

An expert is also called a specialist, and the name can represent this level. He is already outstanding in this industry, and he is already qualified to open his own door to accept apprentices.

Masters and above are extremely rare, and each one's achievements in the current field are beyond ordinary people's imagination. To use a simple example, if an expert is equivalent to an ordinary university professor and associate professor, a master is equivalent to a Changjiang Scholar, academician, and so on. Grandmasters can be described as Nobel Prize winners, they are the pinnacle of the industry.

Generally speaking, people at Lin Chen's level can get in touch with beginner apprentices or formal professionals who are proficient in professional skills. Basically, they can't meet people with specialization or above, unless they spend a lot of money to invite them.

The middle-aged man sent by the Condor Chamber of Commerce in front of him is actually an entry-level formation mage. He has no talent but likes this profession. He is self-taught with the support of the chamber of commerce. Unfortunately, his talent is too poor, and formation mage is the most talented profession. , so now it’s just getting started, and what I usually do is to come and install the formation together when a customer orders it.

The difficulty of installing the formation is not high. When it was sold, there were already formation masters who engraved the key pattern of the formation on many formation feet. At that time, just put down the eye position according to the standard in the manual, and then put down the energy stone in the formation eye, and the large formation will be activated. Array, very simple and pure fool operation.

But even if it is a simple fool-proof installation, it is a large hidden array after all. The coverage area selected by Lin Chen is a huge area with a diameter of more than three kilometers. It took several days just to measure the distance, select the address and lay the ground. time.

He specially mobilized the mountain giant Xiaoxiao to cooperate with him. The fossils in the places where the formations were buried were reinforced with mud. He also changed the terrain of some unsuitable places to match. After a lot of work, when all the formations were buried, he made several When debugging was finally successfully activated, it was already half a month later.

Lin Chen has not been idle for half a month. Except for going to the construction site from time to time to see the progress of the project, or occasionally communicating with Xu Yiqing, he and Ms. Scarlet set up the medium-sized hidden magic circle under the barracks, and the sand scorpions The breath of the heart of the lair is isolated.

The moment the magic circle was activated, layers of ripples appeared over the entire barracks, and then the yellow beam of light that bloomed from the heart of the sand scorpion's lair was cut off within five meters and stopped abruptly, without a trace of breath being leaked.

At the moment when the beam of light in the heart of the lair was shielded, he could clearly see that the sandworms outside the base became a little dazed. Although they were still rushing towards the base, this was the inertia before, not as determined as before.

The most important thing is that without the impetus of unknown forces, these sandworm tribes began to know fear, and after being tortured and killed, they began to flee. You must know that even if more than [-]% to [-]% of them were killed before, they would not be defeated and flee. Under the forcible promotion of the force, he launched a mortal attack.

And as time went by, there were fewer and fewer sandworm tribes who came over, and many of them woke up halfway, without unknown mysterious powers to designate targets and directions, and even got away halfway to go to other places.

Without the impetus of mysterious power, even if there was a tribe of sandworms who happened to come over, they didn't have the thought of desperately attacking. Lin Chen asked the mountain giant Wang Xiaoxiao to seal the gap in the city wall again, and everything became clean again.

It wasn't until half a month later that the Sandworm tribe was not seen for five days, and the so-called regular army of the Sandworm Kingdom was not even seen. Lin Chen knew that his first crisis had been overcome. Only then did he Start leveling up for Sandscorpion Lair Heart.

Among the goods that Xu Yiqing brought were those first-order spirit stones, which could have been promoted a long time ago, but they were not sure that the concealment circle was effective before and dared not advance.

As long as the conditions are met, the advancement of the heart of the lair is very simple.

For example, the ten spirit stones in the Sand Scorpion's Lair Heart advancement conditions are used to strengthen the Lair Heart, and the one hundred eternal points are the shot cost of the Tower of Eternity.

The so-called promotion of the heart of the den is to rely on the power of the Tower of Eternity to unlock the restrictions of the heart of the den, or to increase the upper limit of the heart of the den. Whether it is to unlock the restrictions or increase the upper limit, only the ten first-order spirit stones are needed. Power, one hundred points are just a handling fee for the Tower of Aion, or a manual fee.

It's like you invite an alchemy master to make a furnace of high-grade elixir. Ten first-order spirit stones are the materials you produced, and one hundred points are the master's manual fee. If the conditions are met, you will be able to advance successfully.

In fact, Lin Chen sometimes wonders what the essence of the Tower of Eternity is, whether it has self-awareness, and its behavior completely follows certain laws, like a super powerful machine, but it is too omnipotent, even if it is a so-called god. It cannot be compared.
