Chapter 73 Advance Base
[Please choose the number of times to strengthen the world passage:
The first enhancement requires 1 source point, and the upper limit of units that can pass is 10
The second enhancement requires 3 source points, and the upper limit of units that can pass is 15
The third enhancement requires 5 source points, and the upper limit of passing units is 20]
To fully strengthen [Camp Fire], you need to invest a total of 9 source points.
Ye Xing moved his eyes and checked the current time flow velocity difference in the space-time channel.
The difference in time flow rate between the "Forest of Rocks" and the world of "Four Elements No. 1" is 1:3.
It's okay, not too outrageous.
At least for now, the difference in time flow rates between the two worlds does not require strengthening adjustments.
Ye Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand towards the orange flame. As the power of the world's origin continued to be injected into it, the bonfire burned more and more vigorously.
"Next, I will recruit the rat tribe to participate in this exploration.
Isis, go and explore the direction of the air circulation in this cave. It is best to find an exit that leads to the surface.
Come back immediately when you sense danger. Don't be brave and don't be affected by curiosity. Do you understand? ”
After the bonfire was lit, Isis, who felt herself recovering from her lethargy, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
She spread her wings and nimbly walked between the stalactites hanging from the top of the underground cave, flying upward diagonally in the direction of the air circulation.
Ye Xing stood up with his scepter on the ground, and the doll Rani also pulled the seams of her shirt and climbed onto his shoulders to sit down.
Under the intertwining of light and shadow, Ye Xing's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness and became mysterious and blurry.
The shadow of death, distorted by the firelight, outlines a strange and terrifying image.
The time and space passage opened within the range of the [camp bonfire], and the misty white mist slowly dissipated in front of Ye Xing's eyes. At the other end of the passage, a dark scene of the rat tribe's altar appeared.
Bright sunlight shines into the ground along the "skylight" above the altar. The Purple-nosed Rats, who have long been prepared to set off, cautiously walk into the space-time passage under the leadership of their leader, Purple-Nosed Scrub.
"20! 20! 20! Do you want to be whipped if you obey the rules?"
The cunning and cunning Purple Nose - Scrub, stood beside the time and space channel. It held up a whip made of animal sinew, shouting and gesticulating at the same time.
Under the patriarch's tyrannical power, these rat-men, who were the lowest level of the rat-men clan, obediently passed through the time and space passage one after another and came to the camp that exuded warm firelight.
The underground cave Ye Xing temporarily chose was not too big. After receiving 200 ratmen, it had reached the limit of space.
These rat-men with purple noses were crowded together like sardines in a can, leaving a concentric space for the vague Father God standing in front of the [Camp Fire].
"A new world has opened before you."
"You will take root in this strange land."
"You will have countless resources and territory."
"You will receive honor and status."
"My people, I will always pay attention to you and bless you."
"Let death and survival become your eternal meaning!"
Ye Xing, who was holding the stargazing scepter in his hand, spoke sonorously and forcefully, and the fiery flames on the blurry figure rose up and burned.
As the Father God pointed his scepter at all the rat men, little bits of fire flew out from his body and landed on the forehead of each rat man.
The rat people endured the pain of being burned by the sparks, thinking that this was a blessing from God the Father, and they shouted feverishly: "Yes, Yes!!"
"Go forward! In this world, build your own underground fortress!
I will guide you until you completely conquer this world. "
The inflammatory words made the blood and hearts of every rat-man present boil with excitement. They stared with their green eyes until the image of Father God disappeared together with the flames in their field of vision.
The Skaven's talent for burrowing is undoubtedly firmly engraved in their genes.
Under the guidance of Ye Xing, 200 ratmen dug in groups diagonally upward along the route fed back by Isis.
Using the delicate and hard rat claws and crudely smelted metal tools, hoes, shovels, and hammers, the ratmen methodically smashed and moved away the hard rocks blocking their way.
Under the command of the leader Purple Nose-Scrub, 200 ratmen worked in shifts according to their digging speed.
The ratmen at the front of the excavation team who are responsible for pioneering, once their speed slows down, will immediately be replaced by the tribesmen behind them who are responsible for carrying gravel and repairing the passage.
Under Ye Xing's perception, the entire rat-man excavation team was like an electric chain saw that was started, quickly following his guidance and cutting through the thick rocky mountain.
"Should we arrange for a few ratmen to bring explosives and blow up the rocks blocking the road?"
Rani, standing on Ye Xing's shoulder, suggested.
She has harvested the souls of several rat-men killed by bombs and has a clear understanding of the power of explosives.
Ye Xing shook his head, "It's not the time yet, blasting and excavation are still too difficult for the current rat people.
Moreover, we have not entered this world for a long time, so it is not suitable to make too much noise. Let’s quietly build the forward base first. ”
He looked towards the "Four Elements No. 1" world at the other end of the space-time channel, where a new group of rat men were gathering.
This time they carried food, water, and various tools for digging.
The first batch of Skaven excavation teams withdrew to rest and repair the damaged excavation tools, while the second batch of Skaven people who brought logistical supplies took over their excavation work without complaint and continued to push the passage upwards.
In half a day, Ye Xing invested a total of more than 600 ratmen, starting from the cave next to the underground river and digging upwards to three different holes leading to the surface.
The purple-nosed rat people who completed their initial goals did not get much rest time. Under the orders of their leader, Purple-nosed Scrub, they began to dig and build an underground base.
The rat people connected the large and small caves in the mountain, and divided them into residential areas, granaries, ore warehouses, weapons warehouses, metallurgical shops for repairing tools, and an alchemical engineering research institute to study the composition of ores from other worlds based on function and environment.
Ye Xing also moved the original [camp bonfire] to the central area of the underground base.
After the last batch of engineering warlocks supported by other rat tribes arrived at the underground base, Ye Xing temporarily closed the time and space channel and took Lani to the surface to begin exploring the "Forest of Rocks".
The female eagle transformed by Isis is flying high in the tall stone forest in the distance, drawing huge circles from time to time, so that Ye Xing, who shares the field of vision with her through the "eagle eye", can see more carefully.
After getting rid of the enemy's sniper attack, Ye Xing could finally step onto the mountain top and calm down to observe the world.
The sky in the world of "Forest of Rocks" is melancholy and gloomy, as if it is forever condensed with lead-gray clouds.
Thunder flashes through the clouds from time to time, bringing a small amount of light to the world.
In the steep rift valley of the rock wall, three giants over 18 meters tall were walking across the river towards the moss-covered stone peak in front of them, carrying heavy stone spears.
Under Ye Xing's instructions, Isis followed them quietly.
After four rounds of failed promotions, after extensive communication with the editor and the idea of collecting manuscripts, this book is scheduled to be put on the shelves next Friday. I will try my best to make up for the first to fourth rounds of recommendations before putting it on the shelf. I will also secretly save the manuscript and explode it when it is put on the shelf. Thank you all book friends for your support from the beginning of the book to the present.
