Chapter 432: Entering the Deep Rock Continent
The Maelstrom was once the Well of Eternity, the core area of the continent of Kalimdor.
During the War of the Ancients, the night elves chose to forcibly detonate the Well of Eternity in order to defeat the Burning Legion.
After the earthquake, the continent of Kalimdor was transformed into four main continents: southeast, northwest and southeast, as well as countless broken islands.
Harad harvested a lot of obsidian while collecting near the maelstrom.
At that time, he felt that collecting 300 million tons or even 3 billion tons would not be a problem.
However, as you get farther and farther away from the maelstrom, you harvest less and less obsidian.
Although there are still more overall than on land.
But compared with the harvest near the maelstrom, there is no comparison at all!
This is a direct fall from heaven to hell!
Especially further away, the amount of obsidian will be even less.
The Eastern Kingdoms continent goes east, and the Kalimdor continent goes west.
Not a single obsidian stone can be found in those waters.
Obviously Obsidian is inseparable from the Maelstrom.
The predecessor of the Maelstrom was the Well of Eternity.
The Well of Eternity is a source of arcane energy formed by Y'Shaarj being pulled out of the ground by Aman'Thul and tearing the earth apart.
Obsidian may have been pulled out from the depths of the earth when the earth was torn apart.
In the game, there are obsidian mines that can be mined in the Deep Rock Continent deep underground.
The way to enter Deepholm is simple.
Just enter from the maelstrom and that's it.
Deathwing did this kind of thing.
But except for the crazy Deathwing, no one dares to do this!
He began to conduct segmental detection below the maelstrom.
Facts have proved that there is a bottom under the maelstrom, and it does not lead directly to the Deep Rock Continent.
It can continuously swallow seawater because of the unique structure below, forming a wonderful siphon phenomenon.
Sea water is swallowed from the maelstrom and then sent to the distance, forming an infinite loop.
Even in a world without magical power, this magical phenomenon will occur.
It's just a normal vortex and cannot be maintained for a long time.
And the size is not that huge.
A huge vortex with a diameter of several kilometers can be easily swallowed by an aircraft carrier.
It looked like there was a super sea monster sucking water underneath.
But this is obviously impossible!
Even if a super giant monster like the Ancient God was released, it would be impossible to suck out such a large vortex.
After all, their mission is to corrupt the planet, not just to suck water for fun.
Herard probed down from the bottom of the maelstrom and found a very dense semi-hot lava rock layer.
Where the maelstrom was created, the explosion tore apart tens of thousands of meters of earth's crust.
Its bottom is directly the mantle layer.
The mantle is very dense.
The rocks that form the Earth's mantle contain very high temperatures.
With a thickness of nearly three thousand kilometers, it is the planet's indestructible protective layer.
The process of the Old Gods digging into the mantle was very difficult.
It takes a lot of time to drill every meter.
But to truly corrode the planet, one must drill through the mantle.
Only in this way can the star core inside be polluted.
Turn the star soul bred in the star core into an evil void titan.
Fortunately, the Ancient God is a shadow creature and does not have space or earth abilities.
Otherwise, their tentacles would penetrate the earth's mantle without any pressure!
The cataclysm caused by Deathwing in the game damaged the mantle of Azeroth.
A Guardian of the Earth canonized by the Titans.
Deathwing can easily penetrate deep into the mantle.
Then use the power of the earth to destroy it inside, affecting the geological stability of the planet.
Harad used the Scepter of Sargeras to cast space spells, and he could also easily detect and enter the interior of the mantle.
But his goal is Deep Rock Continent.
That treasure land contains a large amount of obsidian deposits.
As the detection goes deeper, some light is fed back through the spatial window. Seeing the light appearing inside the mantle, Herard suddenly became energetic.
There is only endless darkness and heat inside the mantle.
The only place where light may exist is the Deep Rock Continent that houses earth elemental creatures.
Obviously this is Deepholm!
Deep Rock is about two hundred kilometers deep in the Earth's mantle.
Compared with the thickness of the earth's mantle, which is more than 3,000 kilometers, it only penetrates a little bit.
This is a very large underground world.
It covers more than half of the Eastern Kingdom continent.
Its height is also more than 20,000 meters.
If there was an artificial sun, it would be possible to create a living environment like the one on the ground.
Of course, the air temperature here is very high.
Before the water drips to the ground, it will evaporate quickly in the air.
And the air is poisonous.
Ordinary people who come here will be killed by the heat very quickly.
If you take a breath of the air here, your lungs will be burned and you will die of air poisoning.
Only dwarves and goblins who like harsh environments can survive here.
Herad didn't want to come to such a bad place.
But who allowed obsidian to be here?
Above the dim sky of Deep Rock Continent, the obsidian battleship smoothly passed through the illusory light gate and appeared in this place where nothing really matters.
In the game, the shamans of Deeprock Continent and the Earth Ring occupy part of it.
In reality, the profession of shaman is not very popular.
Among several mainstream races, there are only sporadic inheritances.
Night elves completely reject the profession of shaman.
Because in reality, shamans can also make fireballs and ice arrows, and they look similar to mages.
While excluding mages, it is reasonable to also exclude shamans.
Therefore, there is no such organization as Earth Ring in reality.
It is even less possible to go to Deep Rock Continent to occupy territory.
But it doesn't matter whether the shaman of the Earth Ring helps or not.
When Doomhammer was in hand, he could already ignore all the shamans in Azeroth.
After taking control of the Hammer of Khazgoroth, he was pushed beyond the demigod level.
When the obsidian battleship landed towards the ground, the earth elemental creatures wandering on the ground did not react in any way.
The guys were wandering around as usual, not looking up at the sky.
They have long been tired of seeing the same dim sky above their heads!
Seeing those guys wandering lazily on the ground, Herad gave them signs to go to work.
Let them look for black stones that absorb energy, and then bring them over and put them away.
The earth elemental creatures were happy to carry out this instruction from Herad.
They hang out in this dark place.
It’s so boring!
These idle guys like to be assigned tasks.
Of course, not all cats and dogs can be made to work.
Herad controls the Hammer of Khazgoroth, and in the eyes of these earth elemental creatures, he is at the level of an earth elemental lord.
There are many types of earth elemental creatures in Deep Rock Continent.
Some rock giants have obsidian embedded in their bodies.
In order to please Herad, they pulled out the obsidian without hesitation.
Obsidian is not important to rock giants.
This thing is just a decoration with a small effect.
It is definitely their honor to be able to use it to please the supreme earth element lord!
As for the holes left by pulling out the obsidian, just find some random rocks to fill them.
