Chapter 311 Return to the Misty Canyon [Please subscribe]
I slept for two hours refreshed.
During the rest of the time, he took a comfortable hot bath under the care of the maid in the castle.
Originally, he planned to go back to Blue Star [cross-border] and take a quick shower in the bathroom in the villa guest room.
But it can’t stand up to Baron Bezos.
When he woke up, the maids had already prepared hot water, incense and flower petals.
Just enjoy the evil aristocratic treatment.
Several slim little maids helped him massage and wipe him, without having to do the whole process himself.
After taking a bath and putting on a layer of rune leather armor, Chen Xuan spent a few minutes sorting out the storage compartments.
Special attention has been paid to the storage compartments where sidearms are placed.
Make sure that all kinds of weapons are ready for use before heading to the tavern where you are scheduled to gather.
All members of the expedition team have already made preparations.
Each carried their luggage.
Only a handful of two or three people have their own storage rings.
Chen Xuan, who is used to being arrogant, almost forgot that scarcity is the true meaning of this world.
In the past, storage jewelry easily cost hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of crowns. Even a silver-level expert would have to save for a long time before he could afford it.
As for the bronze-level and black-iron-level little Karami, unless they are just lucky, there is no need to even think about it.
At this moment, everyone has a printed map of the mural in their hand.
This map is the mural of the mysterious ruins in the misty canyon.
Chen Xuan had previously recorded with a camera and mobile phone.
Now print it out and give it to them as a reference.
There are eight main marked points on the map.
Three of the marked points were marked with asterisks.
There are four other marked points marked with circles.
But the most eye-catching thing is a six-pointed star mark point deep in the mountains.
Five of these marks were marked as [Danger] or [Extremely Dangerous] by [Insight].
Mainly those circle marks and six-pointed star marks.
The asterisk mark is not dangerous.
You can find the way forward by matching this map with mural markings with the map outside the Misty Canyon.
The terrain markings above are still very obvious.
It is worth mentioning that the dark crystal mine in Ansetus is one of the star marks.
This might mean that the other two marks are also minerals of some kind.
Of course, this is just Chen Xuan's guess, and the specific situation will be known at a glance.
Based on the principle of safety first, danger later, he planned to explore the three asterisk marked points first.
Then there is a circle marked with the note [Danger].
Finally, there is the hexagram marked point with the note "Extremely Dangerous".
"Everyone."
Seeing that they were almost ready, Chen Xuan spoke slowly at this time.
Everyone looked at him, and their expressions became solemn.
"Exploring the Misty Canyon this time may be dangerous."
"Everyone must be careful and do not walk around or touch unknown objects at will." "
The ruins in the Misty Canyon have nothing to do with the current aborigines of Naroa and have nothing to do with it. The monsters outside the territory have nothing to do with it."
"There is a high probability that they are traces of a civilization we have never seen before." "
And it is a very powerful civilization."
Chen Xuan was vaccinated in advance.
According to the known information, the ruins in the Misty Canyon have nothing to do with the current Naroa aborigines or extraterrestrial monsters.
The history is also very long.
At least more than a hundred thousand Naraya years.
In other words, the people who left the remains may not be the current Naroa aborigines, but may also be the Naroa aborigines in ancient times.
The current multi-ethnic landscape does not represent the entire history of the Naroa world.
This includes monsters as well.
Before them, there was some kind of more powerful civilization in this world!
This world is full of weirdness, as if some mysterious force is intervening.
Perhaps by exploring those ancient ruins, more secrets can be discovered.
After hearing Chen Xuan's words, everyone looked at each other.
Such a thing is undoubtedly subversive.
Before that, Chen Xuan discovered that the Naroya aborigines did not care about the development of ancient ruins.
Not many scholars are even willing to study it.
This seems to be related to the decline of astrology and lunar science.
Although I don’t want to emphasize conspiracy theories.
However, there are obvious traces of rule interference in the operation of the entire Naroa world, including monsters.
This in itself is very abnormal.
These words also aroused their enthusiasm. In addition to meeting the hard threshold of silver-level magic cultivation, most of the guys who can be selected have adventure experience.
However, due to the influence of the contract, even though many people had excited expressions on their faces, they did not dare to discuss it wantonly.
"You can discuss it on the road."
"We are getting ready to leave now."
"And what I want to tell you is that this time you may witness a miracle, or you may have to face death."
Chen Xuan changed the subject. Revealed a more cruel reality.
"I am willing to give my life for my master!"
I don't know which flatterer shouted first.
Then the members of the expedition team expressed their determination in unison.
They knelt on one knee, fisted their chests, and knelt in front of Chen Xuan.
In response, Chen Xuan just nodded calmly.
As long as they are mentally prepared.
He no longer cares about such false courtesy.
Simple mobilization is over.
He took out a half-track off-road truck in front of everyone without any scruples.
This is a vintage item he found in Burma, a modified version of Su Lian's "Gas" half-track.
The maintenance is pretty good and the tire wear is not bad.
Diesel engine, very powerful torque.
The half-track moving mechanism allows it to walk smoothly on most terrains.
But these are not problems. If it encounters a place that it cannot pass, everyone can get off the car and lift it. In the magical world, it is not necessary for the car to carry people, and it is completely fine for people to carry the car.
"Get in the car."
Chen Xuan waved his hand.
Everyone got on the back bucket with their heavy luggage.
The tracks on both sides are sinking visibly.
Twelve people actually made the "Gas" truck almost full.
But this is not difficult to understand.
Among the changes brought about by tempering the body with magic elements is the increase in body density.
In addition, silver-level magic practitioners each have tons of strange power.
Their luggage weighed at least two to three hundred kilograms.
In this way, the load weight is at least six or seven tons.
You must know that GAZ is a classic truck and is not as capable of loading as current dump trucks.
In fact, it is used to transport ammunition and food supplies on the battlefield.
But it doesn't matter, Su Lian's goods are better than hers. Chen Xuan sat in the cab. After starting the engine, it idled slightly to warm up.
The advantages of the diesel engine are fully realized.
The GAZ half-track truck roared like an old beast.
The road wheels began to rotate, the steel tracks rubbed against the ground, and they headed out of the city.
Bumps, noise, and the exhaust pipe spewing black smoke all doomed this driving experience to not be a great one.
...
more than an hour later.
Misty Canyon Outpost.
The entrance here has been blocked by the garrison.
and established defensive outposts.
Of course, there are not many troops stationed here, only a handful of squadrons.
There is also a sentry point at the exit of the Misty Canyon, where more garrisons are stationed.
The entire canyon has also been partially renovated and warehouses have been built.
Mainly used to store food.
This part of the food is used to supply the canyon defenders, dark gold miners and garrison.
Change is everywhere.
The GAZ half-track truck, spewing exhaust fumes, stopped in front of the sentinel point.
All members of the expedition team jumped off the carriage.
Chen Xuan left the cab and opened the hood.
I saw the diesel engine air intake that had been burned red.
At this time, the cylinder of the body is emitting boiling heat and can almost be used for barbecue.
The front cooling fan is useless.
But no matter, red burning is just a common occurrence for older diesel engines.
Chen Xuan still remembers that when he was a child, he saw the single-cylinder diesel "Sanmazi" in the countryside. It would either burn red or boil after being loaded. There was no fault, it just looked scary, and it worked just fine after cooling down a little.
The torque of the old diesel was amazing.
There is a joke in the off-road world, whether yours is a 4×4 or a 6×6.
Whether it's two locks or four locks.
If the cross-country masters can't get through it, they will definitely be able to get through it if they change to a "sanmazi".
This is indeed the case.
The durability of old diesel engines is evident.
The only drawback is that this thing is easy to lose in winter.
The cylinder needs to be burned.
This seems to be a common problem with diesel engines. Many diesel vehicles still have this problem when placed in extremely cold environments. Even if they are replaced with low-grade diesel, it cannot be completely solved.
In addition, if comfort is not considered, the overall performance of the diesel engine can be said to be better than that of the gasoline engine.
So this old Gas completed the task successfully.
After everyone got out of the car, Chen Xuan put it back into the storage compartment.
When the garrison at the forward sentry point saw that Chen Xuan had arrived in person, they quickly opened the heavy blockade blockade.
Everyone walked into the canyon.
It’s been a while since I’ve been here, and the fog here has dissipated a lot.
The air is no longer overly humid.
As the ancient cave where the magic dragon was once sealed was conquered.
The environment here has also undergone great changes.
Wherever monsters are present, there will always be significant changes to the nearby environment.
The skeletons originally scattered on the ground were cleaned up.
The remains of the monsters were brought to the Magtan City workshop to see if there were any parts worth recycling.
The remains of humans and other Naroa people were burned and buried.
This makes the passage in the canyon much cleaner and cleaner.
The air is no longer filled with strange smells.
A small group of garrison troops were separated from the Misty Canyon outpost to lead the way.
When passing by the cave, Chen Xuan found that it had been transformed into a warehouse.
The cool and dark caves can indeed be regarded as natural warehouses, which can save you the trouble of digging again.
The rock mass here is very solid, according to people sent by the Blacksmiths Association and the Alchemy Association for testing.
It was found that there was a lot of black iron and bronze mixed in the rock mass.
The entire rock bedrock here once experienced large-scale melting.
The fierce high temperature turned the earth into magma, and the incorporation of a large amount of ore made it extremely hard after solidification. Even Chen Xuan couldn't find an adjective for how terrifying the ax that could carve out the canyon here was.
Continuing forward, we arrived at the mysterious ruins where the mural map was hidden.
However, all the murals were chipped out and stored in storage compartments.
The rest of the place was also destroyed by him after filming.
The involvement of this ruins is not small.
There is no need to stay here.
Moreover, Chen Xuan had reason to suspect that the location of the dark gold mine given to Ansetus by the Black Demon Dragon Belle was obtained from the ruins. Over the years, the depths of the Misty Mountains seemed not to have been damaged.
Passing through the mysterious ruins, a few kilometers away from the exit of the misty canyon, there are the fragments left by the mysterious ax ahead.
The giant metal fragments were inserted diagonally into the rock foundation.
The highest point exposed on the ground was nearly twenty meters.
It is completely matte black and has almost blended into the rock base.
It looks like "thin slices" cut from the rock wall.
The prompt information fed back in Chen Xuan's [Insight] for that fragment is:
[Fragments of remnant soldiers left in the ancient times] [One-sixth-
seven-seven-hundred-seven-hundred-and-seven hundred and eighty-second fragment of the tip of the axe of the fission of the earth]
[It has long lost its divinity due to the erosion of time, and the material itself has been assimilated with the earth's rocks] ...In other words,
this
huge fragment is just the 6,700 blade tip of the "Axe of Earth Fission" One in eighty-two.
I'm afraid the length of that ax is at least tens of thousands of meters.
Unimaginable power.
Even a gold-level expert is just an ant that can be crushed at any time in front of such a magical weapon.
Although Chen Xuan is still unable to determine whether there is a clear connection between the owner of the [Axe of Fission] and the mysterious ancient civilization.
But there is no doubt that they all have something to do with Misty Canyon.
There is also something very scary to think about.
That is, the [Axe of Fission] is broken here, which means that an unknown battle has happened here.
The guy who can break the [Axe of Fission] is definitely a more terrifying existence.
And Chen Xuan didn't know if there were other ax blade fragments scattered in the Misty Mountains.
Speaking of which, are those marking points in the mountains related to the war that year?
Chen Xuan didn't know anything about all this.
Even [Insight] can only feed back very limited information.
It is precisely because of this that he is looking forward to the situation in the Misty Mountains.
The area is poorly mapped and ends abruptly just a few kilometers before Misty Canyon.
Mapmakers were unable to penetrate deep into it at first.
But it doesn’t matter, the mural map can provide a reference for the next trip.
It shows the exit of the canyon, the curves of the rolling mountains, ruins, lakes and caves.
The entire mural map looks blurry, but it can still be used as a reference after careful identification.
He briefly explained the situation of the ax blade to everyone in the expedition team.
Everyone was stunned.
They looked at the fragments on the ground embedded in the rock with awe in their eyes.
