Heroes of Invincible Hidden Architect

Chapter 288 Getting Deeper, The Master Builder and the Medusa Tribe ([-])
Qige followed the abandoned mine pit and gradually descended.

The abandoned mine pit is small, dark, and humid, and it is not suitable for surface creatures such as humans and elves to survive.

But for Medusa, this is their dream of paradise.

Medusa was originally a creature that lived on the ground.

They are somewhat similar to snakes in that they are temperature-changing animals whose body temperature changes with the environment.

But unlike snakes, which get too cold, they freeze and have to hibernate.

The suitable temperature of Medusa is between -50 and 20 degrees, and the typical temperature is cold and not heat-resistant.

If it gets too hot outside, Medusa will shed her skin and fall into a weakened state.

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

Over time, some clever Medusa discovered it.

I live on the ground, exposed to the wind and the sun, and always have to dig holes, so why not just live underground!
The first batch of Medusa who ate the "crab" discovered the benefits of the underground.

The underground is cool and comfortable, I really like being in it!

After a long migration, Medusa has become an underground army, almost extinct on the surface.

There are many narrow passes in the abandoned mine, and the Medusas can twist their bodies like snakes to enter, while the seven pigeons can only lie on the ground and crawl through.

Every time the seven pigeons crawled through the tunnel, the fluorescent fruit would wait patiently outside the tunnel.

When Qige crawled out of the tunnel, she would take the Medusa nuns to help Qige wipe off the dust on her body, which was very considerate.

The abandoned mine pit became darker as it went down, and it seemed that even the sun god's light was unwilling to care for it.

In the dimness, the only sound could be heard when the Medusas walked, their soft abdomen rubbing against the ground.

Seven pigeons stared at the darkness in front of them, and had an illusion.

It was as if the darkness in front of him was a beast that chose to devour people, waiting for him with its huge mouth open.

And the Medusas in front are the gods of death who lead themselves to death.

This unreasonable sense of fear made Qige more vigilant.

Qige shook her head, only to realize that there was an extra buff on her attribute panel.

【fear

There is a 10% chance for all your own arms to be fearful in battle. 】

fear?Why is there this BUFF?

Is this a place of fear? !

Should not be ah.

Qige frowned.

"Deng deng deng deng!"

At this moment, Qi Ge heard the continuous knocking sound coming from the front.

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

"This is?"

"Ah, this is our tribe digging."

Mining? !
The Medusa family is an innate 4th-level unit. Even in the dungeon, they belong to the middle-level management class. How can they mine mines by themselves?
Under normal circumstances, Medusa is enslaved cave people to mine.

Some powerful Medusa tribes can even enslave tauren who are higher than them.

With a curious attitude, Qi Ge followed Huo Guo and the others to the place where Medusa was mining.

Hundreds of Medusa female snakes were going back and forth in the cave. They used their hands to carry a black stone and passed by Seven Pigeons.

Seeing Qige approaching, many Medusa female snakes cast curious glances at Qige.

The unfriendly ones kept spitting snake letters at Qige.

These Medusa female snakes with only Tier 1 are extremely ugly in appearance.

They are covered with snake hair and open their mouths to threaten the seven pigeons with their masters. The skin on their faces is a terrifying dark green, full of wrinkles and snakes. Their nostrils are almost parallel to their faces, and their vertical pupils are cold and vigilant. .

Qige didn't show any fear or disgust, but nodded at them with a friendly smile.

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Fluorescent Fruit snorted, and let out a hoarse snake language from the bottom of his throat.

"Go away, this is a distinguished guest of Her Majesty the Queen, and you are not allowed to get close."

The female snakes of Medusa shrank back in fear when they heard the sound of the fluorescent fruit.

Seeing that Fluorescent Fruit had no intention of punishing themselves, they hurried away.

Fluorescent Fruit said apologetically: "I'm sorry, these low-level people's minds are not clear yet, which frightened you."

Qige responded politely:

"There is no need to apologize. As a foreigner, I entered your territory, and it is only natural for me to be alerted.

They don't know the situation, they don't know that I am the queen's guest.

The vigilance and defense against outsiders is precisely the embodiment of their loyalty to the queen and the Medusa family. "

Fluorescent Fruit was very happy to hear that.

She held Qige's hand and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Qige, for your understanding."

Qige continued to observe, and he saw many Medusas holding iron picks, knocking on the surface of the mine pit again and again, knocking black rocks from the surface of the mine pit.

Beside the Medusas, the bright crystal mine was exposed, but the Medusas were indifferent.

Are these rocks rare resources?
Qige pretended to ask casually: "Huoguangguo, these rocks don't look special, why did you send so many people to dig them?

Also, why don't you get the cavemen who are better at mining to help you? "

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

As for the cavemen.

The mines here have strange powers. Our Medusa clan can survive here, but the caveman will have a mental breakdown as soon as he enters the mines.

The better cavemen will run to the ground desperately, and the worse cavemen will even commit suicide on the spot. "

Qi Ge looked at the [Fear] buff on her body, a little suspicious that it was the reason for this buff.

Following the Medusas, Qige was surprised to find that there were more Medusas working in the abandoned mine than she had imagined.

The place where they dug just now is only the No. [-] mine, and there are even bigger No. [-] and No. [-] mines.

Qige was secretly startled. There were thousands of Medusa female snakes just mining.

The map has errors.

It's not that there are no large npc tribes, but large npc tribes are hidden underground!
Qige was a little skeptical that the abandoned mines on the map were all connected.

Those Medusa tribes near the abandoned mines are probably a whole.

"Master Qige, the front is here."

Qi Ge was dazed and stopped thinking. He straightened his expression and followed Huo Guo and the others into a tunnel.

This tunnel is completely different from the tunnel that Qige has drilled before. The tunnel is intricate and the road is curved.

There were even some openings that Qige couldn't get through at all, so they could only take a long detour under the guidance of Huoguanguo.

Qige was a little envious of Medusa's body.

Medusa's bones are actually extremely small and have many joints.

It can be said that the entire body of Medusa is a muscle with excellent elasticity.

This allows them to move extremely flexibly in narrow tunnels, and they can even shrink and fold their bodies to pass through openings that cannot be entered under normal circumstances.

It's almost as if their bodies are liquid.

Qige kept changing directions along the tunnel, and soon realized something was wrong.

He went through the same tunnel many times.

Fluorescent Fruit is consciously leading him around.

Qige secretly smiled.

This trick may have some effect on npc, but unfortunately I am a player.

Fluorescent fruit's actions instead allowed Qige's map to record more details.

On Qige's map, an intricate underground labyrinth composed of tunnels is gradually taking shape.

Suddenly, Qige noticed that Fluorescent Fruit was leading her to a tunnel she had never walked through.

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

Seven Pigeons groped in the dark tunnel using magic vision as an aid.

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

Qige's hands could vaguely feel the fine water mist on the rock wall, which was cold and damp, chilling Qige's fingers.

Sometimes, when Qige's hand grasped a sharper rock, it would feel severe pain.

Feeling the darkness, Qi Ge turned a corner along the passage, and the dazzling light suddenly rushed into Qi Ge's pupils, causing Qi Ge's pupils to shrink violently.

Qige closed her eyes, and opened them slowly after a while.

He came out of the tunnel, his eyes wide as walnuts in horror.

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

Qige was standing on the high platform of the cliff at this time, just condescending, and could see the whole picture of the city.

The city is hundreds of meters high and slightly less wide, resembling an ellipse.

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

The upper left is khaki and red, and the upper right is very dark, brownish.

The lower left corner is almost all buff, and the lower right part is a mix of buff 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, linking the walls around the cave.

These dozens of 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 accordingly.

Qige took out the telescope.

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

Each road links the exit position of the cave wall, and there are countless [Medusa Female Snake] (Level 1) and [Medusa Queen] (Level 2) who have seen the black ore before transporting the seven pigeons.

Crowded cavemen pulled a cart with 4 wheels, and the Medusas placed black ore on the cart.

The cavemen laboriously chanted, some were pulling in front, some were pushing behind, and transported the carts into the city.

hiss! !

Qi Ge immediately canceled the previous plan to incorporate Medusa in her heart.

The appearance of this city represented that the Yingye tribe was definitely not an ordinary tribe.

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

Contact first, determine the strength level of the other party, and then choose the appropriate communication method according to the situation.

Be adaptable.

"Master Qige, this is our city!"

Fluorescent fruit was very satisfied with Qige's astonished look, and she puffed up her chest proudly.

Seven pigeons are not stingy with praise, to tell the truth:
"It's spectacular, no, it's a miracle!
It's really hard to imagine that in this deep underground, you can actually build such a majestic floating city.

I have seen Bracada (towers) built in the ice cliffs of Eternal Frost,
I have also seen Krulod (stronghold), the Thunderbird capital floating in the never-ending sandstorm,

I have also seen the Dragon Dome hanging upside down on the [-]-meter rock wall in Nigong (underground city).

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

And your cities, no matter the difficulty of construction or the degree of magnificence, are not inferior to them at all.

I don't know, am I honored to know the name of this city? "

Fluorescent Fruit lowered his head in embarrassment, and said softly:

"Actually, this city was not built by our Medusa.

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

We, the Medusa family, are appointed by the gods to guard this city as guardians.

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

Do not extinguish the city. "

[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for discovering the hidden NPC faction: Unextinguishable City, which has been merged into the NPC faction Yingye Tribe. 】

This girl is so honest!

"Not extinguished?"

Qi Ge tilted her head in doubt, and asked: "Please forgive my ignorance, I have never heard of a god named [Immortal] in the world of Yasha.

By the way, which god is this? "

"I don't know either, in fact, our whole family doesn't know.

We have never known what kind of authority and mighty power the God of Immortality possesses.

In the scriptures of our shrine, there is only 1 sentence in total.

'The God of Immortality bestowed the City of Eternity to protect us.

We are here to serve you, silently guarding
Until the immortal return. "

not extinguished...

Could it be the fire elemental monarch [Forging · Fire]?
But if it is the follower of the fire elemental monarch [Forging·Fire], why did the chaos in the previous life invade like that, and the fire elemental monarch did not see it?

[Forging·Fire] Mian Xia even released the lava dragon in his previous life. If there is really a backhand, it is not enough to hide it, right?
Fluorescent Fruit twisted its body, swam to Qige's side, and said respectfully:
"Master Qige, please follow me, Her Majesty must have been waiting for you for a long time."

Qige nodded in agreement.

(Don't think about it so much, go to the city and look for clues.)
Seven Pigeons followed Fluorescent Fruit and Sister Medusa through the long suspended rock road and approached the city of immortality.

The closer Qi Ge got to Unextinguishable City, the more she muttered in her heart.

The light of the Immortal City is actually provided by the Yasha Fire that floats above the Unextinguishable City.

Such a bright Yasha Tinder with such a wide range of influence can only be at the main city level.

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

What exactly did Fengwu Jiutian do in the previous life to hide an NPC force with a main city in an airtight manner?

The NPC forces in the world of Asha are not something you can just hide. This is a real world disguised as a game, and each NPC has its own consciousness.

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

Could it be that the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Guild wiped out the npc forces in the city of immortality?
Qige was lost in thought.

It's not impossible for players to perform so many tricks.

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

Qige and Huoguanguo entered the city.

All the Medusas above level 3 who passed by them bowed respectfully to the fluorescent fruit.

Seeing Qige following behind the fluorescent fruit, although they were a little curious, they didn't dare to go forward at all, only dared to peek from a distance.

Qige even saw two 5th-level Medusa bishops (5th-level Medusa) bowing to the fluorescent fruit.

This shows that fluorescent fruit has a more important status in Unextinguishable City than Qi Ge imagined.

The Medusa family is a typical social Darwinism, the strong can mercilessly exploit the weak.

The fifth-level Medusa bows to the fourth-level fluorescent fruit, which only shows that the fluorescent fruit has a much stronger backer than the fifth-level Medusa.

Qi Ge reckoned that Fluorescent Fruit might be more than just a guard guarding an abandoned mine pit.

She is very likely to have something to do with the "Her Majesty" in her mouth.

It seems that we need to have a better relationship with her.

Contrary to the magnificent appearance of the Immortal City, there are almost no buildings in the Immortal City.

The entire Unextinguishable City is like another abandoned mine, full of caves and trails.

Qige felt that the internal structure of the Unextinguishable City was a bit like an ant's nest, or a honeycomb.

All the Medusas live in the densely packed hollows of the Undying City.

What surprised Qige the most was that he actually saw Medusa setting up a stall!

This is inconsistent with Qi Ge's cognition.

Under normal circumstances, Medusa should be a slavery + imperial society, that is to say, 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 lives of every Medusa.

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

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

Could it be that the non-extinguishing city has already started private ownership?
No matter how evil private ownership is, it is still 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 booth of Medusa who was setting up a stall curiously.

The one who is setting up a stall is a Tier 4 Medusa Shield Guard.

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

Seeing Qige approach her booth, she took two steps back vigilantly, making a hissing sound.

Qige noticed that there were bags of resources on her booth.

Level 1 wood, stone, level 2 crystals, gems, and mercury are all available, but there is no sulfur.

Seeing Qige stop, Fluorescent Fruit came over and asked curiously:
"Master Qige, are you interested in these basic resources? If you need them, I can buy them for you."

Qige shook her head and replied:

"I'm just curious. Fluorescent fruit, what does the Yingye tribe rely on for trading?"

Fluorescent fruit reached under his clothes, which happened to be the lower abdomen, groped twice, and took out a small bag.

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

Fluorescent fruit said: "This is our currency, we call it gray, one gray can be exchanged for 100 light brown browns, and 100 grays can be exchanged for one small orange card, which is an orange.

Like this big bag of crystals, you only need 1 ash to buy it, which is more than enough. "

Qi Ge was even more surprised.

The Unextinguishable City actually has its own independent currency? !

So Qige took out a gold coin and asked:

"Did you say this is the orange?"

Fluorescent Fruit shook his head and said, "No, this is a gold coin, which is also a kind of resource for us.

Gold coins can be mined from mines, we have a lot here, they are worthless. "

Qi Ge put away the gold coins, her mind spinning quickly.

Know gold coins, but don't regard gold coins as ordinary equivalents.

This illustrates two points.

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

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

This means that if I can open up the business routes of the 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 can be stored in an isolated world.

Qige even smiled kindly, chatting and laughing with Fluorescent Fruit along the way.

The inexperienced Fluorescent Fruit is Qi Ge's opponent, and Qi Ge's favorability is easily raised to 80 (favorite).

Qige also learned two other extremely important pieces of information from Huoguanguo.

[-]. The "Her Majesty" of the Yingye tribe is not only a hero, but also a legendary hero.

[-]. The Yingye tribe has never allowed foreigners to enter, and Qige is the first foreigner to enter the Yingye tribe.

13. It is not that the Yingye tribe has never seen a different race. There used to be [-] races in this underground world, including half-elves from the above-ground world, but now only the Yingye tribe remains.

It seems that Her Majesty the Queen of the Yingye tribe is definitely not a good man and a faithful woman.

This information made Qige extra careful.

After going round and round, Qige finally came to the "Imperial Palace" of the Yingye tribe.

Qige judged from the fire suspended in the air that this palace is actually the castle of the eternal city.

The shape of the palace is a bit like the magic pyramid that Qige visited, but it is different.

There are only three floors from bottom to top, and the city is built with black stones dug by the Medusas in the abandoned mines.

Black Pyramid?
Fluorescent Fruit proudly introduced from the side: "Sir Seven Pigeons, our palace is built after the legendary palace where the God of Immortality lives."

The palace where the immortal gods live?

Qi Ge secretly remembered this information in her heart, and followed Fluorescent Fruit into the "Imperial Palace".

From the outside, the inside of the dark palace looks strange.

On the ground paved with gold coins, there is a carpet made of crystals.

It's so dazzling that people's eyes are dazzled.

The fluorescent fruit was crawling hard on the crystal carpet.

The corners on the crystal will squeeze the soft belly of the fluorescent fruit, which will make the fluorescent fruit uncomfortable when moving.

Qi Ge saw it. He stretched out his hand, picked up Princess Fluorescent Fruit, and held her in his arms.

Fluorescent fruit hugged Qige's neck in surprise.

Fluorescent Fruit's body is soft and icy cold.

Her snake tail has shed all the scales, and it feels like a normal human woman's body.

When hugged by Seven Pigeons, Fluorescent Fruit's long snake tail trembled nervously.

"Master Seven, Seven Pigeons?"

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

Fluorescent Fruit shyly said: "I'm just a little shy. It's not etiquette to meet the Queen. But, there is no such thing as that."

Listening to the soft clip sound of the fluorescent fruit, Qige smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go, please show me the way."

"Hmm~"

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

Qige:? ? ?
Start wrapping around me so soon? !Is the queen still there?
