Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

It’s not that Asdaren deliberately wanted to delay time and delayed leading the logistics forces to support the Valley outpost.

He and Harvey have been in a mess these two days.

The most important development resource in the territory - the nest of the energy-absorbing beetle, unexpected situations occurred three days ago.

The primitive nest that was originally dug out by the beetles suddenly appeared in a slight landslide.

A larger collapse space below is exposed, and the depth is currently completely undetectable.

When Harvey remembered this, he felt cold sweat.

There has always been a huge cave underground in the main fort. If there were no reinforcement construction in the previous construction stage, I would probably not know one day when I was sleeping, I would be buried alive in the ground as the main fort collapsed.

He still didn't dare to take it lightly, so he quickly asked Reiner to dispatch all the working alchemy beasts to strengthen the wall parts of the underground laboratory and some areas of the original nest.

However, if the situation of this cave is not confirmed, no matter how the main fort and laboratory structure is strengthened and improved, it will be useless.

After all, Harvey knew clearly whether there was an unknown treasure buried in the underground cave in the core area of ​​the territory he built on the ruins of the ancient mage's ruins or a time bomb that could explode at any time.

"The beetles that were freely raised in the insect nest began to gather at the collapsed holes. It seemed that there were things in the caves below that attracted them to go." Asdaren had been observing for a day and a night.

If the hole is not sealed, I am afraid that all tens of thousands of beetles that are raised free of charge will be run away in a few days.

"I plan to send someone to the cave underground..." Harvey had already vaguely thought of a possibility, but he did not dare to fully confirm it at the moment.

Why does this deserted place located at the foot of the northern slope of the Divine Ridge Mountains appear in an ancient mage ruin? Why did they choose this place?

Only by truly falling into the cave can this answer be solved.

Asdaren agreed with Harvey's idea, but absolutely did not agree with him going down to take risks himself. After all, the chance of emergencies in this unknown space is too high.

Harvey is still in the critical stage of attacking to be promoted to the intermediate caster, and only one three-ring magic is engraved in the magic pattern. If you encounter danger underground, it may be difficult to escape unscathed.

"Okay, Asdaren, I know you're worried about my safety, but I have to go down and confirm this exploration myself, and I don't think exploring the underground cave can compare to the danger of exploring the space cracks of the Magic Net... …”

With two powerful alchemy lives Asdaren and Lena, they escorted him, plus the beetle ore they assembled, and brought a few tarantula beasts that could flexibly climb. Harvey felt that this set of adventure configurations, It can basically avoid most of the dangers.

Egno was recalled from the hospital to the main fort laboratory, and he needed to stay in the main fort when Harvey and the others were all down into the cave to deal with some possible emergencies.

For example, send more alchemy beasts to the cave to support or rescue Harvey and others.

"Don't worry, I will stay next to the communication device without leaving any step. As long as I receive your help signal, I will immediately activate all the alchemy beasts in the laboratory."

...

Several large-scale illuminated magic stones were installed on the wolf spider beasts. As they crawled up and down around ignoring the terrain, the general situation of the entire cave space appeared.

This is indeed a naturally formed underground cave, and it seems that there is no trace of artificial residue.

The entire space is about several times larger than Harvey's main land fort, and there are dozens of stalactite columns of thickness that are several people hugging together. The surface of the ground is extremely dry, indicating that there should be no underground river passing by nearby.

"It's a place that is very suitable for use as a secret laboratory and storage space..." Asdaren walked around the cave stone wall and confirmed that there were no other entrances or corridors.

"It's strange. If it's a closed space, why can air flow? I don't feel lack of oxygen or chest tightness at all." As the only human being who came down, Harvey keenly discovered this problem.

Lena pointed to the countless tiny cracks around the cave and on the top stone wall, and guessed: "Maybe these mountain cracks connect the cave and the cracks underground, causing air to enter here."

He still remembered the sudden mountain vibration that they encountered when they looked at the northern slope at the top of Jackdung Mountain, which led to the collapse of the ruins of the ancient wizard.

"Sir, these stalactite columns in the cave should be able to support the stability of the cave structure, but I still think that some artificial load-bearing columns need to be added just in case."

Harvey nodded, approving Reiner's cautious idea, but he always felt that he had missed some key information.

By the way!

Where did the energy-sucking beetles that crawled down from the nests go?

Reiner and Asdaren also reacted and began to drive all the spider beasts, quickly searching for gaps in the cave mountain, but no trace of a beetle was seen.

Harvey immediately called Egno, who was left behind in the laboratory, and asked him to catch several beetles from the beetle breeding room, put them in small iron cages and put them on a hanging basket to the ground.

"It's very simple. Release these beetles and follow their traces to know where the beetle army has gone."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

After Harvey said that, he opened the iron cage fence and shook the fat beetles to the ground.

Several beetles turned over with difficulty, turned around a few times on the ground like headless flies, and then immediately confirmed the direction and lined up like ants to crawl towards the stalactite column in the distance.

Harvey and his companions followed closely, watching them climb to the stalactite column with a clear goal, then gently extended their slender tentacles to touch the stone column, paused for a moment, climbed directly onto the stone column, and then disappeared from the surface of the stone column in an instant as if melted.

"How could this happen?" Reiner walked forward in surprise, stretched out his metal palm to touch the surface of the stone column, "How did they disappear? This is indeed a stalactite. Can they penetrate the wall?"

Harvey thought of a somewhat whimsical possibility, "Reiner, use the metal drill on your arm to try to drill a hole in the stone column."

Reiner nodded, raised his right arm to activate the metal drill, and made a high-speed sizzling sound.

The slender drill just touched the surface of the stalactite, and the scene of sparks or stone powder splashing that Harvey expected did not appear.

The surface of the stalactite was like an eggshell, and immediately a large number of small and dense cracks appeared with the metal drill as the center.

Asdalen approached the stone column, bent his fingers and gently flicked the cracks of the stalactite, and those cracks broke and fell down with a rustling sound.

The real core material inside the stone column was exposed, which was wrapped in the stalactite shell.

"This! How is this possible!" Harvey was so shocked that he was stunned on the spot, and his mouth couldn't close.

This entire stalactite column that required three or four people to hug was actually crystal clear inside, and it was shining like a pure gem.

This... This is the original ore of magic stone!
