After dinner, Ren continued to work overtime. Today he was supervising the giant earthworms digging burrows into Storm City.
The giant earthworms dig holes very quickly. Several of them set out from the underground together, followed by the goblin miners wielding pickaxes to expand the passage and open up several roads. After all, it must be built to support the march of the army, which is not a small project!
Wren rides a velociraptor to chase giant earthworms to prevent them from straying from their direction or digging their tunnels too close to the ground.
It was too early and Charlotte couldn't sleep, so she went along to watch the construction of the "subway" live.
She was quite surprised by the digging speed of the giant earthworm.
As the eldest daughter of the Jimenez family, has she ever seen this giant insect that only lives in the Warcraft Forest?
While the cave was being dug, all the furnaces in the base studio were busy making steel.
After winning the coal mine, Ren used the remaining skill point to unlock steel knowledge, which allowed him to use iron ingots and coal mines to make steel ingots in the furnace.
Now he can make basic steel tools, as well as some of the most basic weapons and armor.
However, steelmaking is more troublesome and takes a lot of time. Iron tools can be used first and there is no need to replace them immediately.
After all, not just myself, but all the goblin workers combined, the number of tools required cannot be prepared in a short time.
There may be a battle with Storm City at any time. In order to increase combat power, armor and weapons are more important than collection tools!
I was busy until late. Even if giant earthworms opened the way, only one-fifth of the secret tunnel leading to Storm City was completed.
It will take at least four days to successfully dig to the destination.
As long as there are no accidents, it is basically impossible for Storm City to find itself and Charlotte within four days, so there should be no problem!
The two of them went back to their rooms and slept until dawn.
The original plan was to continue going out after breakfast to brush monsters and level up. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ren got up, he heard an alarm call coming from the patrolling pterosaur. Someone must be approaching the base.
So I took Charlotte secretly outside, took the elevator to the hidden floating tree house, and observed through the telescope.
If they are adventurers who enter the forest to do tasks, they can just wait for them to detour and avoid the opponent's activity area to continue fighting monsters and leveling up; if they are from Storm City and the Jimenez family or other forces who come specifically for Charlotte, they can
Before being discovered by them, go back underground and hide until the other party leaves.
The two of them are condescending and occupy the advantage of the terrain. Such a hidden tree house is difficult to find unless it comes from the sky.
Surprisingly, near the city gate were Christine, Carla, Linda and Monica, Charlotte's four good sisters.
They arrived at the city gate on horseback and saw the gate open and covered with spider webs. They looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.
When Charlotte saw her good sisters, she wanted to go down to greet them.
But Ren grabbed her wrist and reminded in a low voice: "Let's take a look first! It's very strange for these young ladies to appear alone without any protectors. Even if they have the ability to escape surveillance, if you suddenly disappear,
Will their family remain indifferent?"
Charlotte felt that it made sense. Although she was willing to believe in her little sisters, she could not completely believe in the family power behind them, so she calmed down and accompanied Ren to continue observing with the telescope.
Facing the ruins of the city gate, including the poisonous spiders crawling around, Christine showed a surprised expression, raised her staff and used fireball to burn the spider silk blocking the door and drive away the poisonous spiders.
"How could this happen? It's been a few days and it turned out like this!" Kara looked at the scene that was completely different from the last time, with a look of shock on her face, "Where did Ren go?"
"Maybe he was eaten by monsters, maybe he was killed by monsters in the forest!" Linda looked around.
"It's also possible that Charlotte will take her away!" Christine said.
"It's really unbelievable that Charlotte actually rebelled against her protector and escaped secretly. It's really unimaginable!" Monica sighed, "I originally thought that Ren could find clues, but did he really go with Charlotte? Two people
Where exactly is one going to go?”
"I really admire you for running away on the day of discussing the engagement with His Highness the Prince!" Christine said, "How could we dare to resist the arrangements of our elders on the engagement?"
"I can't understand, that's His Highness the Prince!" Monica said, "Where can there be a better marriage partner than His Highness? If you marry His Highness, you will be a princess. With the support of our Storm City, His Highness will have a great chance of winning the throne of king in the future.
, she will be the queen then! Why did she run away? I would be so happy!"
"Come on! His Highness doesn't like you either." Linda said from the side, "The most important thing now is to find Charlotte. What if she encounters danger outside?"
"Kristen, I don't think Charlotte is here?" Kara said with a frown as she looked at the ruined city gate, "They say her carriage has arrived at Star-Moon City and she may have to flee to other countries."
Kristen shook her head and replied: "We can't rule out any possibility! I think Charlotte's attitude towards Ren was a bit strange before. She has never shown that attitude towards anyone of the opposite sex. Maybe the carriage is just a cover, and she is hiding in the storm.
She has not left the city. No matter how innocent she is, she is the eldest daughter of the Jimenez family. She is exposed to it every day and can learn a lot of strategies from Uncle Colin."
"Do we really want to go in and search?" Kara looked at the desolate interior of the city wall and couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "What if Ren was killed by the monster and the monster didn't leave?"
"There will be no strong monsters outside the forest," Kristen replied. "I was fully prepared before coming here. If there is danger, I will use the Swift Wind Scroll to take everyone away from here!"
After hearing this, several noble ladies felt a little relieved.
Kara rode forward and turned around as he passed the city gate and said, "Ren moved the vending machine here before, and some adventurers have seen it. Now that the magic item is missing, he must have taken it away by himself, right? Maybe Lei
En really followed Charlotte to escape from Storm City!"
"We'll talk about it after we see it inside!" Christine immediately stepped forward and entered directly through the city gate.
Carla, Linda, and Monica hurriedly followed, and the four horses entered the city. They were faced with an even more desolate scene. When they appeared, countless wild animals fled in panic, and it didn't look like they were inhabited at all.
"Ren——! Renn Hooper——!" Christine shouted Ren's name loudly.
Carla, Linda, and Monica also called him.
Renn didn't respond in the treehouse. He kept the virtual map open and observed carefully.
When more hidden character marks appeared on the map except for the four of them, he whispered to Charlotte: "It seems that your little sisters didn't come by themselves. Let's go to the basement first! Or we can use the mine cart to get there from another place."
