Paya's arrival brought many changes. First of all, the hut was too crowded, so Sanchong planned to dig a basement to use as a storage room and studio, while the hut was simply used as a bedroom.
Nati and Lu Zhengkang are responsible for this work. Paya plans to return to her home and bring her belongings.
During the days when the female insect left, Natty remained excited. He found a cart outside, which was left by the workers who built the crossroad. Natty repaired it and used it to transport the excavated stones.
piece.
The structural sketch of the basement was drawn by Paya and Nati. They are very professional and the finished product should be very stable.
Lu Zhengkang took the initiative to undertake the work of excavating stones.
Nati brought him a metal pick. Lu Zhengkang carefully broke open the floor to reveal the base. The surface was made of volute-shaped pebbles. These things were easy to clean. Nati carried the excavated pebbles out and piled them up.
Keep it nearby the cabin for later use to decorate the walls of the basement.
Soon, Lu Zhengkang dug into the hard rock formation.
The construction progress suddenly slowed down. Fortunately, Lu Zhengkang was tireless and patient, and concentrated on digging.
After digging two times his own height, he began to dig holes in the dug tunnel wall to use as a leverage point for jumping.
Nati hung the basket down at the entrance of the cave with a rope. Lu Zhengkang filled the basket and pulled the rope. Nati swayed and carried the stones up.
The construction process was long and boring. Soon Paya came back with most of the belongings. With her involved in transporting the gravel, the efficiency was much higher.
Lu Zhengkang felt the infinite potential of the insect's body through constant labor. During the high-intensity labor, he felt that he was growing rapidly.
Ten heights downward, and then a horizontal passage was dug to the side. The insect's instinct gave Lu Zhengkang an accurate sense of direction and level. The dug passage was very standard. The passage was dug for a distance and exceeded
Lu Zhengkang began to expand the scope of the round house above, digging out a large space.
After spending a long time, the basement was finally dug, and then it was time to decorate. Natty put all his scraps, as well as some gadgets that Paya had brought, into a corner of the basement.
The underground is wider than the one above. There are two entrances, one is inside the round house, and the other is behind the round house. You can open the replica and follow the ladder to the bottom. As for the ventilation openings, there are a total of fourteen to ensure fresh air in the basement.
Paya and Natty finished the work in the basement.
At this time, Paya's extraordinary power is revealed. She is a very knowledgeable technical geek who likes to study very much and has strong hands-on skills. She also knows more words. In contrast, the conscientious Natty is very uneducated and incompetent.
.
Realizing that her lover was not as good as she thought, Paya was depressed for a while. Fortunately, Nati's delicate character suited her taste, and Paya reluctantly accepted this flash love.
Paya's original work scope was in the City of Tears, where there were many resurrected sentinel remains. They guarded this once great city and would not hesitate to attack outsiders, so Paya's work was very difficult and she had to
Be careful to avoid these patrolling sentries.
Now, at a relatively peaceful crossroads, Paya is freed from work. She has enough time to develop her own little inventions. In her spare time, she also teaches Lu Zhengkang those uncommon insect characters.
Paya persuaded Nati to build a furnace near the round house to smelt Geo and make objects.
Time passed quickly, and Lu Zhengkang's body grew big enough. He began to wield the smallest of the three bone nails. Although it was still too big for his size, there was nothing he could do about it. Maintenance bugs were born small. Good.
The center of gravity is quite stable when swinging this bone nail.
In the dream arena, the number of sub-consciousnesses has reached sixty-three. They are already elite fighters, able to defend against attacking balls and fight each other fiercely.
For Lu Zhengkang, fighting has become as deep into his bones as breathing.
Unfortunately, there is no opponent now, so he can only wave the bone nails in the air.
He is practicing several commonly used sword moves, chopping, blocking, thrusting, and matching his steps to have ever-changing effects and adapt to the ever-changing battle situation.
Turning sword moves into instinct, allowing you to swing the sword without thinking, this is a skilled swordsman.
Time passed slowly amidst the low whistling sound of the bone nails cutting through the air again and again.
At some point, Paya developed a set of grappling hooks, which can be fired by a crossbow or equipped on the hand, perfect for climbing walls.
Lu Zhengkang took the initiative to help her test the practicality of this equipment and started wandering around with the grappling hook.
Now Natty has relaxed his control a lot and allows him to travel alone, but he will be told to pay attention to safety after each visit and not to go to areas with dense insect populations.
Natty said that there is a Gruz mother nearby and it is very dangerous. Do not get close to it.
Gruz is a fat insect that can fly, and Gruz's mother is as fat as a ball. It relies on collisions to stun or even kill its prey. This kind of rough-skinned and thick-flesh bug is not easy to mess with.
Lu Zhengkang despised this stupid, clumsy insect, but he still agreed to Nati's request.
He planned to find the merchants living at the crossroads. Although the reality was very different from the game, the game map still had strong reference significance. The talisman merchant Saluba should be nearby.
Saying goodbye to Nati Er Chong, Lu Zhengkang began his first solo trip.
Walk out of the continuous group of round houses and walk in the direction where the water vapor is moist. That should be where the Blue Lake is, and the amulet merchant is near the Blue Lake.
When I was tired from walking, I saw a few small reptiles on the road, some were ordinary gray reptiles, and some were white ones with super strong grasping ability. Lu Zhengkang ran a few steps quickly, nailed them to death with bone nails, and strung them together.
It looked like pieces of meat being barbecued on the bone nails. These weak, miserable scavengers were slaughtered on the spot, and Lu Zhengkang had a delicious meal.
Killing the bugs did not bring him any hesitant psychological activity, as if there was a kind of blood called cruelty flowing in his body.
The law of the jungle is truly the only law in this world.
Paya's grappling hook is very useful, allowing Lu Zhengkang to expand his range of action. He can jump onto many high platforms and get into many hidden places. As you can imagine, it is also very useful for evading pursuit.
After trudging all the way, Lu Zhengkang finally heard faint laughter. This honest and joyful laughter brought back long-lasting memories.
Lu Zhengkang was refreshed. He was in front of the talisman dealer. He walked a few steps quickly and bypassed a dilapidated ruins. There was a magnificent light shining on the platform in the distance.
The platform was too high to jump up to. Lu Zhengkang used the crossbow on his back to shoot out the grappling hook and grabbed the rope to reach the platform.
There is a large area of beautiful and exquisite houses here.
Many graceful and fat insects walked on the platform, welcoming Lu Zhengkang as a visitor.
It turns out that they are the merchant insect clan, which once made Hallownest prosperous, but now it has declined with Hallownest. It is a type of insect with a lot of history.
Listening to the eager greetings of the merchants, Lu Zhengkang began to worry about how many of the 300 Geos he had brought with him.
