Chapter 289 Getting Deeper and Deeper, the Master Architect and the Medusa Tribe (Part 2)

The seven pigeons followed the abandoned mine and gradually went down.

The abandoned mine was small, dark, and damp, and was not suitable for surface creatures such as humans and elves to survive.

But for Medusa, this was the paradise they had always dreamed of.

Medusa originally lived on the ground.

They are somewhat similar to snakes, and are cold-blooded animals whose body temperature changes with the environment.

However, unlike snakes, snakes will freeze if it is too cold and have to hibernate.

The suitable temperature for Medusa is between -50 degrees and 20 degrees, which is typical of being cold-resistant but not heat-resistant.

If the outside world is too hot, Medusa will shed its skin and fall into a weak state.

They can only choose to dig a hole and drill into the surface to escape the heat.

Over time, some smart Medusa discovered it.

I live on the ground, exposed to the wind and sun, and always have to dig a hole, so why don’t I just live underground!

The first batch of Medusa who ate the "crab" discovered the benefits of being underground.

It's cool and comfortable underground, I love it there!

After a long migration, Medusa became an underground soldier, almost extinct on the surface.

There are many narrow passes in the abandoned mines. Medusas can twist their bodies like snakes to enter, while Qi Ge can only crawl on the ground.

Every time Qi Ge crawls through the tunnel, Fluorescent Fruit will wait patiently outside the tunnel.

When Qi Ge crawls out of the tunnel, she will bring the Medusa nuns to help Qi Ge shake off the dust on her body, which is very considerate.

The deeper you go into the abandoned mine, the darker it gets, as if even the light of the sun god is unwilling to favor it.

In the dim light, you can only hear the rubbing sound of the soft abdomen of the Medusas rubbing against the ground when they walk.

Qi Ge stared at the darkness in front of him and had an illusion.

It was as if the darkness in front of him was a beast that chose people to eat, opening its huge mouth and waiting for him.

And the Medusas in front of him were the gods of death who took him to death.

This sense of fear that came out of nowhere made Qi Ge more alert.

Qi Ge shook his head and found that there was an extra BUFF on his attribute panel.

[Fear

All his own soldiers have a 10% chance of fear in battle. ]

Fear? Why is there this BUFF?

Is this a place of fear? !

It shouldn't be.

Qi Ge frowned.

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Just then, Qi Ge heard a constant knocking sound coming from the front.

He stopped and asked the fluorescent fruit in front of him in confusion:

"What is this?"

"Ah, this is our people mining."

Mining? !

The Medusa clan is a congenital level 4 soldier. Even in the dungeon, they belong to the middle management class. How can they mine by themselves?

In general, Medusa enslaves cavemen to mine.

Some more powerful Medusa tribes can even enslave Minotaur who are higher than their level.

Qi Ge followed Fluorescent Fruit and the others to the place where Medusa was mining with a curious attitude.

Hundreds of Medusa female snakes were moving back and forth in the cave. They carried a kind of black stone with their hands and passed by Qi Ge and the others.

Seeing Qi Ge coming, many Medusa female snakes cast curious eyes at Qi Ge.

Some of them were unfriendly and kept spitting their snake tongues at Qi Ge.

These Medusa female snakes, which were only level 1, were extremely ugly.

They had snake hair all over their heads and opened their mouths to threaten Qi Ge along with their masters. The skin on their faces was a terrifying dark green, covered with wrinkles and snake scales. Their nostrils were almost parallel to their faces, and their vertical pupils were cold and alert.

Qi Ge did not have the slightest fear or disgust. Instead, he smiled and nodded at them in a friendly manner.

"Humph!" Fluorescent Fruit snorted when he saw this, and uttered hoarse snake language from the bottom of his throat.

"Go away, this is the distinguished guest of Her Majesty the Queen, you are not allowed to approach."

The Medusa female snakes shrank in fear when they heard the voice of Fluorescent Fruit.

They saw that Fluorescent Fruit had no intention of punishing them, so they quickly scattered away.

Fluorescent Fruit said apologetically: "I'm sorry, these low-level tribesmen are not very clear-headed, and you were frightened."

Seven Pigeons responded politely:

"No need to apologize. As an outsider, it is natural for me to be vigilant when entering your territory.

They don't understand the situation and don't know that I am the Queen's guest.

The vigilance and precautions against outsiders are precisely the embodiment of their loyalty to the Queen and the Medusa clan."

Fluorescent Fruit was very happy to hear this.

She held Seven Pigeon's hand and whispered: "Thank you for your understanding, Lord Seven Pigeon."

Seven Pigeon continued to observe, and he saw many Medusas holding iron pickaxes, hitting the surface of the mine again and again, knocking off the black rocks from the surface of the mine.

Next to the Medusas, the crystal mines were exposed, but the Medusas were indifferent.

Are these rocks some rare resources?

Qi Ge pretended to ask casually: "Fluorescent Fruit, these rocks don't look special, why do you send so many people to dig?

And why don't you let the cavemen who are better at mining help you?"

Fluorescent Fruit shook his head and replied: "We don't know either. These black stones were dug by order of Her Majesty the Queen.

As for the cavemen.

The mines here have strange powers. Our Medusa clan can survive here, but once the cavemen enter the mines, they will have a mental breakdown.

The better cavemen will run to the surface regardless of everything, and the worse cavemen will even commit suicide on the spot. "

Qi Ge looked at the [Fear] buff on her body and suspected that it was the reason for this buff.

Following the Medusas and continuing forward, Qi Ge was surprised to find that there were more Medusas working in the abandoned mines than she had imagined.

The place where they were mining just now was only the No. 1 mine, and there were also larger No. 2 and No. 3 mines.

Qi Ge was secretly shocked. There were thousands of Medusa female snakes mining alone.

There is an error in the map.

It's not that there are no large NPC tribes, but that large NPC tribes are hidden underground!

Qi Ge suspected that the abandoned mines on the map are all connected.

The Medusa tribes near the abandoned mines are likely to be a whole.

"Lord Qi Ge, it's just ahead. "

Qi Ge was distracted and stopped thinking. He sorted out his expression and followed Fluorescent Fruit into a tunnel.

This tunnel was completely different from the tunnels Qi Ge had drilled before. The tunnel was complicated and the road was winding.

There were even some openings that Qi Ge couldn't get through at all, and he could only take a long detour under the guidance of Fluorescent Fruit.

Qi Ge was a little envious of Medusa's body.

Medusa's bones were actually very small and had many joints.

It can be said that Medusa's entire body was extremely elastic muscle.

This made them extremely flexible in the narrow tunnel, and they could even shrink and fold their bodies to pass through some openings that were normally inaccessible.

It was as if their bodies were liquid.

Qi Ge kept changing directions along the tunnel and soon found Something was wrong.

He repeated the same tunnel many times.

The fluorescent fruit was consciously taking him in circles.

Qi Ge laughed inwardly.

This trick might work on NPCs, but unfortunately I am a player.

The action of the fluorescent fruit actually allowed Qi Ge's map to record more details.

On Qi Ge's map, a tangled underground maze composed of tunnels was gradually taking shape.

Suddenly, Qi Ge noticed that the fluorescent fruit was taking him to a tunnel he had never walked through.

He knew that he was probably going to reach the end.

Qi Ge used magic vision as an aid to grope in the dim tunnel.

He half-squatted, holding the cold rock wall with his hands, and moved forward slowly.

Qi Ge could vaguely feel the fine mist on the rock wall, cold and wet. , making Qi Ge's fingers cold.

Sometimes, when Qi Ge's hands grabbed a sharp rock, he would feel intense pain.

Qi Ge groped in the dark and turned a corner along the passage. The dazzling light suddenly rushed into Qi Ge's pupils, causing Qi Ge's pupils to shrink violently.

Qi Ge closed his eyes and slowly opened them after a long time.

He walked out of the tunnel, his eyes wide open like walnuts in horror.

Under the underground world, there is actually a floating city!

Qi Ge was standing on a high platform on the cliff at this time, just looking down and seeing the whole picture of the city.

The city is hundreds of meters high in total and slightly less wide, resembling an oval.

It is roughly khaki throughout, but it is clearly divided into 4 parts.

The upper left is khaki and red, The color of the upper right part is very dark, tending to brown.

The lower left corner is almost all light yellow, and the lower right part is a mixture of light yellow and red.

There are more than a dozen gates in this city, and there is a suspended passage in front of each gate. These roads extend from the city and connect to the walls around the cave.

These dozen suspended roads are like chains, locking the city. The city slowly rises and falls in mid-air, and the angles of these roads are constantly changing.

Qi Ge took out the telescope.

From the telescope, he could clearly see a large number of Medusas guarding the city wall.

Each road connects to the exit of the cave wall, and there are countless [Medusa Snakes] (Level 1) and [Medusa Queen] (Level 2) transporting the black ore that Qi Ge had seen before.

The cave people, like a sea of ​​people, pulled a four-wheeled cart, and the Medusas placed the black ore on the cart.

The cavemen shouted with difficulty, some pulled in front, some pushed in the back, and transported the carts to the city.

Hiss! !

Qi Ge immediately scrapped the plan to recruit Medusa that he had made before.

The appearance of this city means that the Yingye tribe is definitely not an ordinary tribe.

Qi Ge is almost certain that they are the real overlords of this underground world.

First contact, determine the opponent's strength level, and then choose the appropriate communication method according to the situation.

Adapt to circumstances.

"Lord Qi Ge, this is our city!"

Fluorescent Fruit was very satisfied with Qi Ge's astonishment, and she proudly puffed out her chest.

Qi Ge was not stingy with praise, and told the truth:

"It's very spectacular, no, it's simply a masterpiece!

It's really hard to imagine that you can build such a magnificent floating city deep underground.

I have seen the Yongshuang City built on the ice cliff by Bracada (tower),

and the Thunderbird City floating in the never-ending sandstorm by Corulod (stronghold),

I have also seen the dragon dome of Nigong (underground city) hanging upside down on the ten thousand meter rock wall.

These cities are miracles built by the wisdom of the entire force.

And your city, whether in terms of construction difficulty or magnificence, is not inferior to them at all.

I wonder if I have the honor to know the name of this city? "

Fluorescent Fruit lowered her head a little embarrassedly and said softly:

"In fact, this city was not built by our Medusa.

In our myths and legends, it was given to us by a great god.

Our Medusa clan was appointed by the gods to guard this city.

The name of this city is also the name of that god.

Unextinguished City. "

[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for discovering the hidden NPC force: Unextinguished City, which has been merged into the NPC force Yingye Tribe.]

This girl is really honest!

"Unextinguished? "

Qi Ge tilted his head in confusion and asked: "Please forgive my ignorance. I have never heard of a god named [Unextinguished] in the Yasha world.

Can you please ask which god this is?"

"I don't know either. In fact, none of us know.

We have never known what power and might the Unextinguished God has.

In the scriptures of our temple, there is only one sentence.

'The Unextinguished God gave us the Unextinguished City to protect us.

We should serve here and guard quietly

until the Unextinguished God returns. "

Not extinguished...

Could it be the Lord of Fire Element [Fire·Fire]?

But if it was the Lord of Fire Element [Fire·Fire]'s backup plan, why didn't the Lord of Fire Element launch it even when Chaos invaded like that in the previous life?

Your Majesty [Fire·Fire] even released the Lava Dragon in his previous life. If he really has a backup plan, he wouldn't have to hide it, right?

The fluorescent fruit twisted its body, swam to Qi Ge, and said respectfully:

"Lord Qi Ge, please follow me. Her Majesty the Queen must have been waiting for you for a long time. "

Qi Ge nodded in agreement.

(Don't think too much about it for now, go into the city and look for clues.)

Qi Ge followed Fluorescent Fruit and Sister Medusa, walked through the long suspended rock road, and approached the Unextinguished City.

The closer Qi Ge got to the Unextinguished City, the more puzzled he was.

The light of the Unextinguished City was actually all provided by the Yasha Fire Seed floating above the Unextinguished City.

The Yasha Fire Seed that is so bright and has such a wide range of influence can only be the main city level.

In other words, the Unextinguished City is a main city-level city that belongs only to Medusa.

What did Feng Wu Jiu Tian do in his previous life to hide an NPC force with a main city?

The NPC forces in the Yasha world are not hidden just because you say so. This is a real world disguised as a game, and each NPC has his own Consciousness.

As long as the NPC forces exist, they must have their own meaning of existence.

Could it be that the Fengwu Jiutian Guild destroyed the NPC forces in the Unextinguished City?

Qi Ge fell into deep thought.

With so many players' tricks, it is not impossible.

There is too little information, so don't rush to draw conclusions.

Qi Ge and Fluorescent Fruit entered the city.

All the Medusas above level 3 who passed by them bowed respectfully to Fluorescent Fruit.

Seeing Qi Ge following behind Fluorescent Fruit, although they were a little curious, they didn't dare to step forward at all, and only dared to peek from afar.

Qi Ge even saw two level 5 Medusa bishops (level 5 Medusa) bowing to Fluorescent Fruit.

This shows that Fluorescent Fruit has a higher status in the Unextinguished City than Qi Ge imagined.

The Medusa clan is a typical social Darwinism, the strong against the weak can be exploited mercilessly.

The 5th-level Medusa bowed to the 4th-level Fluorescent Fruit, which can only mean that Fluorescent Fruit has a much stronger backer than the 5th-level Medusa.

Qi Ge estimated that Fluorescent Fruit might not be just a guard guarding the abandoned mine.

She might have a relationship with the "Queen" she mentioned.

It seems that I have to build a better relationship with her.

In stark contrast to the magnificent appearance of the Unextinguished City, there are almost no buildings in the Unextinguished City.

The entire Unextinguished City is like another abandoned mine, with caves and paths everywhere.

Qi Ge felt that the internal structure of the Unextinguished City was a bit like an ant nest or a beehive.

All the Medusas live in the densely packed holes of the Unextinguished City.

What surprised Qi Ge the most was that he actually saw Medusas in Setting up a stall!

This is inconsistent with Qi Ge's cognition.

Under normal circumstances, Medusa should be a slavery + imperial society, that is, all Medusas are not allowed to own personal property.

The resources and property of the entire Medusa society belong to the only king of Medusa.

These properties even include the life of each Medusa.

In a normal Medusa tribe, all food and resources are uniformly distributed by the objects designated by the "king".

In this environment, Medusa should not have any commercial activities.

Could it be that the city of Bu Xi has begun to practice private ownership?

No matter how evil private ownership is, it is better than the imperial system where all resources belong to His Majesty the Emperor.

This is the progress of civilization.

Qi Ge couldn't help but walk to the stall of Medusa who was setting up a stall with curiosity.

The one setting up the stall is a 4th-level Medusa shield guard.

This is a Medusa who has abandoned long-range attacks and holds a reflective shield in her hand to enhance her melee petrification effect.

She saw Qi Ge approaching her stall, stepped back cautiously, and made a hissing sound.

Qi Ge noticed that there were bags of resources on her stall.

There were level 1 wood, stone, level 2 crystal, gemstone, and mercury, but no sulfur.

Seeing Qi Ge stop, Fluorescent Fruit came over and asked curiously:

"Sir Qi Ge, are you interested in these basic resources? If you need, I can buy them for you."

Qi Ge shook his head and replied:

"I'm just a little curious. Fluorescent Fruit, what do you rely on for trading in the Yingye tribe?"

Fluorescent Fruit reached under her clothes, just at the lower abdomen, fumbled twice, and took out a small bag.

She opened the bag, and in the bag were small gray-brown stones.

Fluorescent Fruit said: "This is our currency, we call it ash, one ash can be exchanged for 100 light brown browns, and 100 ash can be exchanged for 1 orange card, that is, orange.

Like this big bag of crystals, only one ash can buy it, more than enough."

Qi Ge was even more surprised.

Bu Xi City actually has its own independent currency? !

So Qi Ge took out a gold coin and asked:

"Is this the orange you are talking about?"

Fluorescent Fruit shook his head and said: "No, this is a gold coin, which is also a kind of resource in our country.

Gold coins can be mined from the mine. We have a lot of them here, and they are not worth money."

Qi Ge put the gold coin away, and his mind turned quickly.

Knowing gold coins, but not treating them as general equivalents.

This shows two points.

First, the Yingye tribe is most likely isolated from the world in this underground world and has never traded with the outside world.

Second, the Yingye tribe has its own mature currency system and a unique value measurement standard.

This means that if I can open up the trade route of Yingye tribe, I may make a fortune! !

Glass beads for gold nuggets, sugar pills for gems.

These historical allusions have long told us how much wealth a world isolated from the world can contain.

Qi Ge even smiled a little more amiable, talking and laughing with Yin Ying Guo along the way.

Yin Ying Guo, who was not experienced in the world, was no match for Qi Ge, and his favorability was easily raised to 80 (liked) by Qi Ge.

Qi Ge also learned two other extremely important pieces of information from Yin Ying Guo.

1. The "Queen" of Yingye tribe is not only a hero, but also a legendary hero.

2. Yingye tribe never allows outsiders to enter, and Qi Ge is the first outsider to enter Yingye tribe.

3. Yingye tribe has not seen alien races. There used to be 13 races in this underground world, including half-elves from the world above, but now only Yingye tribe is left.

It seems that the Queen of Yingye tribe is definitely not a good man and believer.

This information made Qi Ge extra cautious.

After many twists and turns, Qi Ge finally came to the "Royal Palace" of Yingye Tribe.

Judging from the fire suspended in the air, Qi Ge knew that this palace was actually the castle of the Lord of the Unextinguished City.

The shape of the palace was a bit like the magic pyramid that Qi Ge had visited, but it was different.

There were only three floors from bottom to top, all of which were built with black stones dug by Medusas in abandoned mines.

Black pyramid?

Fluorescent Fruit proudly introduced beside him: "Sir Qi Ge, our palace was built in imitation of the palace where the Unextinguished God lived in the legend."

The palace where the Unextinguished God lived?

Qi Ge secretly remembered this information in his heart and followed Fluorescent Fruit into the "Royal Palace".

The interior of the palace, which looked pitch black from the outside, was a different world.

On the ground paved with gold coins, there was a carpet made of crystal.

It was so bright that people's eyes were about to be dazzled.

Fluorescent Fruit crawled hard on the crystal carpet.

The edges of the crystal would squeeze the soft abdomen of the fluorescent fruit, which would make the fluorescent fruit very uncomfortable when moving.

Qi Ge saw it, he stretched out his hand, picked up the fluorescent fruit princess and held her in his arms.

The fluorescent fruit hugged Qi Ge's neck in surprise.

The fluorescent fruit's body was very soft and cold.

Her snake tail had lost all its scales, and it felt the same as a normal human woman's body.

When being hugged by Qi Ge, the fluorescent fruit's long snake tail trembled nervously.

"Seven, Mr. Qige?"

"I see you don't look very comfortable when walking on the ground. If etiquette doesn't allow me to help you like this, just tell me."

Fluorescent Fruit said shyly: "I'm just a little shy. It's not in accordance with etiquette to meet the queen. But there is no such thing."

Listening to the soft and weak sound of Fluorescent Fruit, Qige smiled slightly and said: "Then let's go, please show me the way."

"Hmm~"

Fluorescent Fruit responded shyly with his nose, slightly adjusted his position, let Qige hold his side, and his tail wrapped around Qige's waist.

Qige: ? ? ?

You're wrapping your body around me so soon? ! Are you still going to see the queen?
