Chapter 617 Pillars of Steel Mountain
Author: Fierce Male Hamster
[Holy Mountain·Tianfeng], this holy mountain is so spectacular that even Qi Ge felt a sense of solemnity when he stood at the foot of the holy mountain.
Compared with his current short stature, the sacred mountain is too tall.
His current height is exactly 1 meter, and the sacred mountain is at least 14,000 meters high, and you can't even see the end at a glance.
Mount Everest, the highest mountain on earth, is only 8,848 meters.
I am afraid that only those who have reached the foot of Mount Everest can appreciate the shock of Seven Pigeons raising their heads at this moment.
And this extremely tall sacred mountain only occupies half of this underground space.
In other words, this underground space is at least 30,000 meters long.
Climbing Mount Kailash is hard work.
The dwarves believe that the sacred mountain is extremely sacred. No dwarf dares to put a pickaxe on the sacred mountain. This is disrespectful to the sacred mountain and will be punished by the dwarves collectively.
Therefore, there is no dwarf building on this sacred mountain.
This means that there are no steps or stairs. When encountering some difficult-to-climb terrain, you can only use your bare hands.
But the dwarves have more solutions than difficulties.
In many places on the Holy Mountain, there is a fluorescent ball suspended on the Holy Mountain - this is the seed of underground dandelion, which will take root as soon as it hits the ground, but the Holy Mountain is an exception.
[Under the Golden Mountain] only grows [Golden Grass],
[Steel Mountain Pillar] will only grow [Oliha Vine],
[Silver Mountain Range] will only grow [Silver Light Tree].
Therefore, dwarves can hang fluorescent balls on the sacred mountain and use fluorescent balls to form roads.
These fluorescent roads are suitable roads for climbing mountains that the dwarves have explored over decades.
But the sacred mountain is too high and too steep.
Especially the Steel Mountain Pillar section is particularly difficult to climb.
Even for well-trained dwarves, it would take 6 to 7 days to return to the top of the mountain.
Therefore, dwarves rarely climb mountains if there is nothing else to do.
Each time you climb a mountain, you need to gather at least thirty dwarves before you can start.
Of course, the dwarves will also leave about 20,000 tribesmen on the mountain, responsible for picking up the [Adamantine], [Oliha Steel] and [Mithril] produced from time to time by the sacred mountain.
After Qi Ge learned about it, he learned that the dwarves had too much respect for the sacred mountain, and no dwarf dared to eat the plants produced by the sacred mountain.
This made Qi Ge feel very sorry.
If dwarves can eat some leaves of [Golden Light Grass], [Oliha Vine] and [Silver Light Tree] like fairies, maybe new types of soldiers will appear among them.
Qi Ge was a little confused at first, why the dwarves had to gather 30 people to climb the mountain.
But when Qi Ge climbed to the Pillar of Steel Mountain with the leader of the Shi Fist clan, he understood.
On the Steel Mountain Pillar, there are broken cliffs everywhere.
The farthest cliff is even more than 20 meters long.
Normally, a bridge would need to be built to pass over such a cliff.
But the dwarves don't even dare to knock on the sacred mountain, so how can they dare to build a bridge on the sacred mountain?
As a result, the dwarves invented a very special way of crossing the bridge.
I saw a dwarf holding onto the cliff with his hands, his back straight.
He asked a dwarf to hold his feet and straighten them up as well.
In this way, one dwarf grabbed another dwarf, and a total of twenty-two dwarves formed a [Dwarf Bridge].
The special body structure and exaggerated muscle strength of dwarves allow them to support themselves in the air without bending down.
The last eight dwarves walked across the dwarf bridge and helped catch the last dwarf.
The first dwarf let go, stood up straight, and followed the team.
Then the second dwarf, the third dwarf...
In this way, all thirty dwarves successfully crossed the cliff together.
This action is a bit like the action of Seven Pigeons when they were pulled up to the city wall by the dwarves.
Seeing the excitement on Qige's face after crossing the bridge, the head of the Shiquan clan laughed and asked:
"Jiu Mine, didn't you like building bridges in the past? You were always vying to be the bridge pillar.
(Bridge pillar: The first or last dwarf requires the most strength.
If it cannot be supported, it will cause the entire dwarf bridge to fall, which is a heavy responsibility and is also a symbol of strong dwarves.)
Why don't you fight today?
Have you become more mature after getting married?"
Qi Ge smiled and touched his head, but did not answer.
After this period of life and death, he discovered that not answering a question that he really couldn't decide was still an answer.
As long as you don't answer, you won't die in many cases.
This historical echo forced Qi Ge, who was full of bad ideas, into a simple and honest dwarf.
Qige followed the leader of the Stone Fist clan all the way to the huge furnace on the Pillar of Steel Mountain.
In the huge furnace, a purple to black flame was burning quietly.
A group of dwarves from the Hammer Clan are forging armor and weapons with the help of flames.
The dwarves of the Stronghammer Clan have formed an assembly line with a high degree of division of labor.
Each of a dozen dwarves is responsible for melting a resource, and the other dozen dwarves merge the resources together.
Then a long line of dwarves hit one area with a hammer with all their strength and then retreated, followed by the following dwarves.
This high degree of division of labor allows the dwarves to produce armor and weapons with extremely high efficiency.
It’s just that this production method has no soul, and at most it can only produce mallets and armor for the [War Bear Cavalry].
If you want to produce equipment for [Frenzy Dwarf], [Rune Patriarch], [Fire Talisman Lord] and high-level dwarves, you need to build some other high-level hammer dwarves throughout the process.
Fortunately, there are only a few high-level and high-level dwarves, so they don't need much equipment.
Seeing Qige's head poking around, the head of the Shiquan clan proudly introduced:
"Jiu Mine, is this your first time here?
This is the melting pot formed naturally by the sacred mountain, and the flame of the sacred mountain burns inside it and will never go out.
Even the indestructible Oliha steel will be melted by the flames of the sacred mountain.
But the amazing thing is that this flame is suspended in the furnace. As long as you don't enter the flame, you can't feel any heat no matter how close you are.
Since the introduction of the Flame of the Holy Mountain, the dwarves of the Stronghammer clan have suddenly become much more powerful and can easily earn a lot of points.
Even rune stones, which were originally produced in very small quantities, can now be produced in large quantities.
Don't look at it, no matter how powerful the flames of the sacred mountain are, they have nothing to do with us, the Stone Fist Clan, and the place we want to go is not here."
"Okay, here we go."
The leader of the Stone Fist clan took the seven pigeons in a circle and arrived at a place surrounded by a group of dwarves.
Surrounded by the dwarves, Qi Ge saw a large number of high-level resources placed on the ground.
Qi Ge had never thought that extremely rare fifth-level resources such as fine gold, mithril, and Oliha steel could be described as piles of hills.
Just looking at these resources makes Qige drool.
There is a saying that the ancient dwarves who can directly convert chaos monsters into resources are really rich.
The leader of the Stone Fist clan explained the situation to the guards and showed the three points obtained by the seven pigeons.
The guards deducted 1 point from the score and gave Qi Ge three sacks of resources.
Even fine gold, mithril, and Oriha steel were given to seven pigeons and ten each.
Qi Ge carried a bag on his left and right shoulders, and another bag on his head. His appearance was indescribably funny.
But when the dwarves passing by saw Qi Ge's appearance, they all showed envy in their eyes.
Seeing that the head of the Shiquan clan was about to return with him, Qi Ge couldn't help but asked anxiously:
"Clan leader, don't we go to the Yinshan Mountains to have a look?"
The head of the Stone Fist clan shook his head and said:
“The mountains of Yinshan Mountain have not yet fully grown up, and there are no functional sacred mountain buildings yet. What’s so interesting about it?
If you really want to see it, when you get married and have a vacation, you can go and see it yourself with Yinyin.
The king's daughter has already married you, and you're still worried that the guards won't let her go?
I don’t have much time to waste, so I’d better go down the mountain quickly, otherwise I have to wait for several days to catch the next trip.”
Only then did Qi Ge remember that when going up the mountain, more than thirty dwarves had to go up together, and it was the same when going down the mountain.
There is a special food warehouse on the sacred mountain, and food is replenished only once a month. It is rare for teams like my own to go up the mountain for special reasons.
If you missed the group going down this time, you have to look at your luck if you want to go down.
Qige followed the leader of the Shiquan clan and spent three full days before they came down from the sacred mountain together.
They have been on the road for the past three days, and Qi Ge has not gained much except getting some information from chatting on the road.
But intelligence itself is a gain.
Through the chat between the dwarves, Qi Ge concluded an astonishing fact.
Underground in the world of Yasha, there is likely to be a huge ancient dwarf empire.
An extremely huge empire that spreads throughout the entire Yasha world, including the territories of the nine major powers, and even parts of the sea!
If the Yasha world is layered.
The nine major forces are all on the earth's crust.
The dwarf empire is thousands of kilometers underground in the mantle layer.
Even O'Falati, the dwarf king, may not know how many cities and people the dwarves have now.
Qi Ge suddenly shuddered.
If the ancient dwarf empire had not been destroyed, perhaps an ancient dwarf city could be dug out from the ground of God's Chosen City.
These ancient dwarves have extremely mature underground food cultivation technology, powerful forging skills, and huge resources in the underground world that will not be competed for by others.
They have been fighting against Chaos on a city-by-city basis, and have accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of experience in fighting against Chaos.
Therefore, when faced with the outbreak of chaos, O'Falati and the dwarves were able to win so easily.
Qi Ge also made a surprising discovery while listening to a chat with a dwarf from the Deep Fire Clan. The ancient dwarves not only believed in Yasha, they also believed in [Fire Elemental Lord: Forging Fire].
But they know nothing about the other gods in the Yasha world.
Not to mention magic, destiny, Poseidon and Sun God, they don't even know about Yufeng, Gedi and Flowing Water, which are the monarchs of the four elements.
This made Qige suddenly realize.
Perhaps the ancient dwarves are also part of the three-dimensional defense of the Yasha world against chaos.
This is another divine battlefield arranged by the Fire Elemental Lord, located deep underground.
"It's very possible that compared to other arms in the Yasha world, the dwarves are exceptionally pure.
They have a strong logistics system that can self-sufficiently guarantee their combat effectiveness.
And they are all of the same race. Although there are clan conflicts, there are very few cases of deadly battles and they are very united.
Almost all the development of civilization of the dwarves is in the direction of combat effectiveness.
Personal enjoyment is almost invisible among the dwarves, and even recreational activities are rare.
Almost all of them know that there is an above-ground world in the Yasha world, but the dwarves have no desire to go to the ground to see it, as if this idea has been wiped away.
This is also very strange.”
Along the way, Qi Ge was thinking.
While thinking continuously, Qi Ge realized another strange place.
O'Ferrati.
"I saw O'Ferrati in the simulated heroic soul. At that time, O'Ferrati was a semi-god-level blacksmith, and could even create unique components to combine treasures.
But now O'Falati is clearly the leader of the Talisman Clan born in the Deep Fire Clan.
Now O'Falati is a legend, which means that no matter what happens to the dwarves in the future, O'Falati will definitely not die.
But how did he change from a pure fighting legend to a logistics demigod who can create all kinds of treasures?
What happened in the meantime?"
With such curiosity, Qi Ge wanted to find an opportunity to have a good chat with O'Ferrati later.
Of course, this is definitely not possible now. Just after the outbreak of chaos, O'Ferrati was so busy that he didn't even have time to take care of his daughter, let alone his son-in-law.
As soon as Qi Ge came down the mountain, he was dragged to his own house by the head of the Shi Fist clan.
The leader of the Stone Fist clan quickly gathered about a hundred Stone Fist dwarves and began to renovate Qi Ge's house.
Their method of building houses is exactly the same as that of architects - instead of moving bricks and building walls, they directly consume resources to build a magic circle, and finally stabilize the magic circle to form a building.
The magic circle nodes that a single Stonefist dwarf can control are extremely limited, only about 1 to 2.
But when the number of Stonefist dwarves increases, each dwarf can control more nodes due to mutual influence.
Liquor Mine and the Chief of the Stone Fist Clan are both dwarves with outstanding talents. The Liquor Mine itself can control about 5 nodes, and the Chief of the Stone Fist Clan can control hundreds of nodes.
Coupled with the increase of more than a hundred Stone Fist dwarves, the effect of their gathering together can even reach that of a level 29 architect.
It only took thirty minutes for the dwarves to complete the renovation of the house.
Qige's original small bungalow has been transformed into a large villa covering an area of more than 600 square meters, with a garden plantation and a full three floors.
Qi Ge even found a nursery room in the villa that can accelerate the growth of the baby and a wedding room that can enhance the success rate of pregnancy and increase the speed of energy recovery.
This moved Qi Ge extremely.
This house is truly a house with attributes that belongs to the world of Yasha!
Qi Ge is sure that if he can open the property panel now, he will definitely be able to see the panel properties of the villa.
This kind of house can only be developed by the Stone Fist clan, where all members are half-architects.
Oh my god, they didn't even use architectural drawings, they just made it with their bare hands!
After the villa was built, Qi Ge immediately pestered the leader of the Stone Fist clan and desperately asked the dwarves for advice on what buildings they could build.
The head of the Shiquan clan admired Qige's learning spirit very much and taught him one by one without reservation.
For Qige, who has rich construction experience, writing these down is not a problem.
Qi Ge thought that maybe after returning home, he could try to build a building with his bare hands without architectural drawings.
As Mr. Agade said, architects already have the ability to build buildings with their bare hands, but it’s just difficult.
Qi Ge felt that with his superb talent in architecture, he could definitely give it a try.
Difficult? Hard work pays off!
"If it doesn't work, I will use design skills to draw the drawings.
Then throw them all to the teacher.
There are so many goblin architects in the territory, and there will always be some useful ones."
Speaking of the fairy architects, Qi Ge suddenly realized that perhaps the fairy architects in the territory were the same as these dwarves and could feel the nodes of the magic circle.
It's just that their abilities are weaker than the dwarves of the Stone Fist tribe, and they need an architect to lay out the framework with blueprints first.
"Hey, this is like experiencing the perspective of a fairy architect. It's quite interesting."
After the new house was built, Qi Ge tremblingly rejected Yin Yin's shy invitation. To his surprise, he did not die.
"It seems that Jiu Mine is also a real man who is not moved by beauty. He is exactly like me. No wonder I would join Jiu Mine."
After bidding farewell to Yinyin for the time being, Qige went to the library again.
His purpose this time was quite clear, he was going for that map.
Relying on his memory, Qi Ge marked the approximate location of the Poseidon statue on the map.
What surprised Qi Ge was that the location of the Poseidon statue was actually on a high mountain in this underground world.
It was a large mine named [Blue Mountain] by the dwarves. It was rich in bluestone and was 6,300 meters high.
Qi Ge moved his little head and thought about it, and soon figured it out.
The sea water in the underground sea has dried up for unknown reasons. Well, it is most likely that it was drained by the immortal tree.
The original trench became a canyon, the deep sea area became a plain, and the shallow sea area where the Poseidon statue is located naturally became a high mountain.
Qi Ge carefully observed the flow direction of the rivers on the map and found that the origins of all rivers in the underground world pointed to the [Blue Mountain].
This shows that the statue of Poseidon is probably still functioning, constantly summoning the sea water.
But there are several roots of immortal trees around [Blue Mountain].
I'm afraid that the sea water won't have time to spurt out, and will be purified and sucked dry by the immortal wood.
Qige found all the dwarven literature records about the Blue Mountains, and found that they only described how to find mineral veins and mine in the Blue Mountains.
The dwarves, who only had mining in mind, did not delve into why the Blue Mountains became the source of so many rivers.
Naturally, there is no mention of the Poseidon statue in any document.
"It seems that I still have to make a trip myself."
Qi Ge thought for a while, returned to his new home, picked up the luxurious mining pick given to him by the leader of the Shi Fist clan, and prepared to set off to visit the Blue Mountains.
But unfortunately, according to the rules of the dwarves, when Stonefist dwarves go out to mine, they must form a team of at least three people.
This means that Qi Ge cannot act alone.
At home, I rely on my wife, and when I go out, I rely on my mistress. A Neptune has three supports, and a hero has three helpers.
The seven doves have nothing but many dwarf brothers.
Calling for shovels and shovels, Qi Ge carried the pickaxe and left immediately.
After trekking through mountains and rivers, Qige soon arrived at the foot of Blue Mountain.
In the underground world, patrols composed of dwarves from the Cold Iron Clan and the Winterwind Clan have been continuously clearing away wild monsters.
Basically, wild monsters will be killed by the all-conquering dwarf army as soon as they are refreshed, and their efficiency is almost as high as that of sandbox players.
Along the way, Qi Ge encountered more than a dozen dwarf troops patrolling back and forth, and felt very safe.
After arriving at the Blue Mountains, Qi Ge finally understood why this mountain range got its name.
In the Blue Mountains, all soil, plant ores are sea blue, which is simply pleasing to the eye.
Shovel scratched his head and asked strangely:
"Liquor Mine, don't you usually like to dig for hidden mineral veins? Why are you so interested today that you came to Blue Mountain?"
Qi Ge replied:
"There may be hidden minerals in the Blue Mountains. I want to go to the top of the mountain where few people go.
Maybe if you dig deeper, you can dig out something good."
Shovel patted Qi Ge on the shoulder and said with a hearty smile:
"Haha, that's right.
We Stonefist dwarves must have this kind of enthusiasm for unknown mines in order to obtain more powerful advancements."
Although the Blue Mountain is not as majestic as the Holy Mountain, it is still six thousand high, but it is not difficult for Qige and the others to climb the Blue Mountain.
Because there are several rivers flowing backward from the foot of the mountain to the top of the Blue Mountain.
Different from the impression given by their strong muscles, the bodies of the dwarves of the Stonefist clan and the Stronghammer clan are surprisingly light and can easily float on the river.
Qi Ge and the others lay on their backs in the pure flowing water and followed the river to the top of the mountain in just half an hour.
On the top of the mountain, Qige took a pickaxe to scout for a while and quickly selected the target for digging.
"Probably at this location."
Qi Ge raised the pickaxe and began to dig down from the top of the mountain, while the shovel and shovel were still hitting the ground with the pickaxe.
Stonefist dwarves can knock on the ground and use the sound wave feedback from the ground to determine whether there are minerals underground.
They were a little surprised when they saw that Qige started digging directly without any exploration.
Out of curiosity, both of them ran to Qi Ge and asked each other:
"Wine Mine, why did you start digging right away?"
"Is there any mine down here?"
Hush, be quiet, let’s dig together.
Qi Ge didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that if he was not careful, he would trigger the death FLAG.
Fortunately, his movements were clear to the shovel and shovel.
The two dwarf father and son looked at each other, jumped down together, and started digging together with Qi Ge.
Qige's hands were very fast, and his pickaxe was also very fast, and he dug a big hole in the blink of an eye.
The shovel and shovel were responsible for helping Qige clear out the excavated blue soil. They dug two at a time and the hole became bigger and bigger.
After half an hour of busy work, the three of them still achieved nothing. Shovel and Shovel tried to interrupt Qi Ge several times, but Qi Ge stopped them.
Another half hour passed. When Qi Pigeon knocked down the manuscript, the soil suddenly cracked, and a strong stream of water spurted out. All Qi Pigeon and the shovel flew out!
"Wow!!! It's so powerful, it has more water than my old ladies."
The shovel shook the pickaxe at the top of the water and shouted loudly.
Shovel's face darkened. He felt that Shovel was scolding his mother, but he couldn't say anything.
"Wine Mine, what's going on? How did you dig out a fountain?"
Qi Ge shouted excitedly:
"Wait a minute, wait until I drain the water, maybe we can dig a big treasure!"
ps: The monthly ticket list has dropped, everyone should just take a break, the ticket price will be doubled at the end of the month.
Wait until the end of the month and we will have another 10,000 days, hehe.
