In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

Anton shook his head frankly: "At least, as far as I know, there is no...we were blessed by the citizens when we set off. Everyone thinks...we are a heroic army who sacrificed ourselves to protect others..."

Speaking of this, there are still those beautiful pictures of seeing each other in my mind.

Can't help but sigh: "Alas... Who knows, things have become like this now."

Xia Tian asked again: "Then what is the 'black disaster' you are talking about?Is the change in the layered rock abyss also related to it? "

"The 'Black Calamity' or the 'Dark Calamity', or whatever you want to call it . "

Anton has never experienced it, but since he has memory, the information he has come into contact with is all the same: "That is the eternal enemy of our winter people. What we believe is... For 500 years, disasters have been lurking, and we Will always be vigilant! We are here to investigate this!"

Like Ying, the Queen's personality changed drastically, and it was also 500 years ago... Maybe if you ask "true", you can find out something.

"Are there only four of you?"

"Well... our ninth company has a total of 64 people, and now... ah..."

Anton shook his head and sighed full of sadness. Just looking at the percentage of attrition, he knew what he had experienced in the past few months.

The four who survived were all men, none Katharina.

"Do you know someone named "Katharina"?Know her whereabouts? "

"Katarina!" Anton rolled his eyes.

Judging from his expression, he definitely knew him, but there seemed to be no good news.

"She...she's not in the company anymore, maybe...she's dead too."

"Huh?" As soon as Xia Tian scratched his head... died?

I don't know the relationship between Xia Tian and Katarina, and I am worried that I will offend him, ruining the vitality that I finally saw.

Anton immediately explained: "It's like this, her younger brother disappeared, and she insisted on looking for him...you know, under the circumstances at that time, her brother could not survive...so..."

"So you abandoned her?" Xia Tian's eyes darkened.

It's not that he's angry, he has no relationship with Katharina, and he knows that some things are unavoidable under extreme circumstances.

It's just... the displeasure of mission failure.

This displeasure made Anton flustered, and several others rushed to help explain.

"No, it's her... She wants to stay voluntarily. After all, any of us with unnecessary concerns... will only slow down the entire team."

"We... each of us must be prepared to sacrifice ourselves for everyone, or sacrifice important people for everyone... This is the awakening of being a fool!"

"Katya, she must have made up her mind, and so has Kolya!"

"..."

The fool's internal address will use the custom of his hometown, and the Katya and Kolya mentioned are probably Katarina's siblings.

Their words are like excuses for sophistry.

And Xia Tian has only regrets.

Katharina actually died like this...

Is it the first time I failed in the commission I took on?

Chapter 877 Going Deeper

The two went out, and the six came back, thinking that they had rescued the missing miners!

Unexpectedly, it was a group of fools, but it gave Sister Jinwu a headache.

Although Zhidong Kingdom and Liyue Port broke up before, they are indeed trying to make up the relationship now.

Recently, the Fools have been quite honest except for dealing with Tianquan Xingguang...at least on the surface.

Therefore, it is really hard to let go of these fools who are looking for help, and they are also victims of the mine blockade.

Before Jin Wu personally sent them out of the mine, he also invited them to a warm dinner.

It’s not a free gift, it’s an exchange of extremely useful information.

Fools say.

In order to find the exit and food, they went down the waterway to a darker depth, a place that had not been registered in the previous survey data.

At the place where the waterfall cut off, I met a monster I had never seen before...

Speaking of monsters, they are not pure monsters, but humanoid knights wearing armor and holding spears.

Those knights cannot communicate and are very powerful.

More than half of the members of the Ninth Company died in the battle with the knights, or were seriously injured and were thrown down the waterfall... Katharina's younger brother was one of the team members who were washed down the waterfall.

……

This news made Jin Wu look worried, thinking whether he should go back and report to the General Affairs Department first...

No, this kind of news should be reported directly to Qixing!

But Zhiqiong is even more excited!

I didn't expect to go to a deeper place along the waterway!

That is a place that has never been surveyed, and I can't wait to go to record it.

Fortunately, they were suppressed by Jin Wu's iron fist: "I'll send them out, by the way... to ask, you guys rest first, and discuss the specific survey areas and order tomorrow."

"Well." Zhiqiong held his forehead that had been beaten hard, and looked at Senior Xia miserably.

The senior also had a serious face, so he had no choice but to compromise.

I entered the mine in the afternoon, and it was already night, looking up at the entrance of the cave, it was dark.

The camp has been cleaned up, and all kinds of supporting materials have been obtained. Even if the mine is cold, they can still enjoy the warmth wrapped in quilts.

In this way, a peaceful first day was spent.

In the following two days, under Jin Wu's strict supervision and Xia Tian's close supervision, Zhiqiong, who was always on the verge of moving, had no choice but to honestly survey the outer layer first.

The outer layer has old drawings, that is, it has been measured before. It is only necessary to investigate whether any mines have collapsed and where they have been polluted by black mud...

So fast.

Zhiqiong has always thought that her drawings are better than those of many predecessors, so in order to make more accurate and detailed surveys, she often gets too close to the black mud.

Lead to deteriorating health, frequent coughing and dizziness.

"Cough, cough..." Zhiqiong couldn't resist the stench of black mud when he was mapping the last place on the old map, and coughed lightly while leaning on the wall.

"Are you okay!" Xia Tian cared and sent a water bottle.

The pure and cool water is sent into the throat along the cherry lips, which refreshes the heart and refreshes the mind.

Zhiqiong smiled happily: "It's okay, maybe it's because I haven't been in the mine for too long, and I'm not used to it in places with thin air...cough, cough...it doesn't matter."

Initially, Xia Tian still believed in this "it doesn't matter" statement.

After all, it has been said before that miners will be affected when they are close to the black mud, but this effect will not cause essential damage to the body. After returning to the ground and resting for a period of time, they will be able to recover.

But as Zhiqiong's condition got worse and worse, and sometimes even fell into a brief coma, Xia Tian had to take it seriously.

He even thought about suspending the exploration process, but Zhiqiong strongly opposed it, saying that he had no problem.

"Please Senior Xia, don't underestimate me!"

Being so stubborn is really troublesome. I feel that there is no way to stop this girl without coercion.

But also have to admire.

In two days, all the old maps were drawn, and even Jin Wu had to praise Zhiqiong, saying that Zhiqiong was the most powerful exploration adventurer she had ever seen, at this age!

Not only cartography, but also rescued some missing miners.

I have been missing for several months, and it is already a miracle to be alive, but I did not expect that my physical condition is still good.

After returning to the camp, I was in a trance, chanting "mushroom mushrooms" all the time, as if I was possessed by mushrooms.

It can be imagined that they probably survived by looking for mushrooms everywhere to satisfy their hunger... that's how it became.

Anyway, after the accompanying medical staff checked, they said that their bodies were fine, but that they were malnourished due to eating mushrooms, and they should be sent to the ground to rest for a while.

This statement also made Xia Tian feel a little relieved about Zhiqiong's state.

Next, it is time to officially go to areas that have not been surveyed before.

Although there are rumors from many fools that it seems that you can go to the depths by walking by water, you still have to go and see "that thing" that was excavated back then.

There are strange knights in the depths of the waterway... Even the troops of the Fools have suffered heavy casualties, so Zhiqiong cannot be allowed to take risks with him.

……

I came to a large mine, which seemed to be used as a warehouse before.

It was a mess, many mechanical parts were scattered on the ground, and there were even claw marks and tooth marks on them.

Tooth marks of starving humans.

Haven't noticed before.

Zhiqiong pointed to the stacked boulders not far away with signs of collapse.

"That thing is right in front...Because it's surrounded by black mud and some monsters...So, when sealing it, it blew up the wall next to it and sealed it with huge boulders."

He pointed to a cannon behind him: "You can use this to blow up the boulder."

What is the mine most afraid of?collapse!

What is the most likely to cause landslides?It's shaking.

In the mine, using gunpowder is extremely dangerous, but it is an indispensable existence.

If you use powerful artillery without causing dangerous behaviors such as landslides, you must be more cautious.

Adjusting the shelling angle, detecting the quality of the rock, the length of the fuze, the amount of gunpowder...all of it is knowledge.

"This cannon should be usable...there are also shells in the warehouse over there...but..."

Zhiqiong scratched her head, she had everything, but where could she learn technically?

The original plan was to contact a professional blaster from Mond.

But unfortunately, it seems that because the guardian needs to travel far, there is no way to come here.

When Jinwu said it, Zhiqiong joked, "A master of demolition who needs to be accompanied by a guardian? It's too weird... What do you think? Senior?"

Ok……

Xia Tian can probably guess who it is.

Mond's demolition master, the first impression is that "Spark Knight Keli" is undoubtedly, and the guardian needs to travel far, it should be said that Abedo went to Daozuma to participate in the Rongcai Festival.

Not coming doesn't seem to be a bad thing, otherwise I don't know what will happen in this mine, I am afraid that Xia Tian can only follow behind as a supervisor all day long.

With a hint of luck, Zhiqiong looked at the omnipotent respected person: "Senior...can you use cannons?"

Shaking his head helplessly: "Same as you, only seen, never used..."

If it was on the open ground, Xia Tian might be curious to fire two shots, but in this mine, forget it.

"Then..." Zhiqiong looked helpless, and it seemed that he had to go back to the camp to find a solution.

But then Xia Tian's words made her face shine again.

"However, it doesn't have to rely on these cannons!"

Xia Tian approached, touched those rocks with the center of the palm, felt the existence of the rock element from it.

Matter is not entirely composed of elements.

Stones are not complete rock elements, rivers are not complete water elements, and fire, thunder, ice, grass, etc. are not pure elemental components.

Elements are just the core that composes them.

Give an example to illustrate.
