Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

"There should be the underground river below..." Cheng Shen couldn't get too close. The effect of the lightless candle was already very weak here, and the light could only be maintained on his body surface, forming a thin isolation barrier.

.

The strong smell of pollution surges upwards like a column of smoke from the entrance of the cave and disperses into the air, aggravating the surrounding darkness. Just by looking at this scene, you can tell that this is the source of all the polluted energy in the entire mine.

"But the real source of pollution is the corpses."

Cheng Shen reasoned in his mind.

The custom of worshiping death among the abandoned people of the temple began more than 700 years ago, when they built this place.

Or even longer ago.

If it is simply because of their ignorance and their own secret reasons that they have caused such terrible pollution here.

Actually it makes sense.

But I'm afraid that a group of unbelievers are also involved in the plan...

Cheng Shen can't imagine the purpose of the unfaithful person in doing this for the time being, but he does not rule out the possibility. But now that the trouble has fallen on his side, it is not easy to clean up the source of the pollution.

What's more.

He has no particularly effective method for cleaning up the pollution in the abyss.

"..."

After thinking briefly, Cheng Shen put the matter aside and picked up a few dropped objects at his feet. Among them, a palm-sized black fragment of a broken sword had already resonated with the two fragments in his backpack.

【Broken Exile All Long Sword 4】

…

He now has three pieces of 134, and he is still two pieces away from getting the long sword together. There are still two unexplored areas left.

Put away.

Cheng Shen glanced at the properties of several other dropped items.

There is a level 30 purple shoulder pad, but neither he nor Aljieka can use it.

What is more valuable is another material and a prop.

【Corruption Poison Sac】

【Material】

[Level: Perfect]

[Explanation: Spider venom sacs that have mutated due to pollution remain active after being separated from the body, providing them with meat to continuously produce venom and spider silk containing pollution and extremely toxic substances]

…

The poisonous sac was the size of a washbasin. Cheng Shen was holding it with both hands. It looked like a huge placenta, writhing with warmth. Its gray-black surface was covered with circles of dark green texture, and there was a mouth full of jagged teeth.

device.

"Creak!"

He noticed that Cheng Shen's arms were moving forward and his ferocious mouthparts were constantly rubbing against his teeth, making a horrifying sound.

Just looking at this thing makes people feel waves of discomfort.

But what I have to say is.

If you compare it with monsters that have been corrupted by pollution and distortion, it not only appears to be very normal.

even,

And a little cute...

Rather than saying it is a material, it is a resource point that can produce materials. As long as you provide it with food, it can continue to produce two materials, venom and spider silk, like a tireless factory.

However, this item must be cleared of contamination before it can be used. I don’t know how much of its quality and effect can be retained after it is purified.

Keep it.

Cheng Shen looked at the last mask.

【Evil Ghost Noodles】

【Props】

[Level: Perfect]

[Explanation: After wearing it, it will continue to swallow the negative emotional perceptions in the holder's soul. Each emotional perception swallowed can enhance the holder's strength. This effect will be preserved until the mask is taken off]

…

The shape of this mask is exactly the same as the totem mask shaped by the strange beliefs of the temple abandoners.

But the refining process incorporates the production methods of emotional props.

The entire mask seemed to be alive, lying in his hand, and the ferocious mouth seemed to be slowly making chewing movements.

Cheng Shen suddenly felt something deep in his soul being pulled.

"It has the same effect as the butcher mask, but the effect is stronger and the side effects are more terrible."

It is still unknown whether emotional perception can be restored after it is removed.

Cheng Shen has never tried it.

However, he thought of the two lucky people who had already been tortured by his soul-stripping technique.

It is expected that such a degree of mental damage cannot be easily recovered.

Even negative emotions are an indispensable part of being a normal person.

Cheng Shen had no intention of using this prop.

Just keep it first.

After picking up all the drops, he returned his attention to the entrance of the cave in front of him that was constantly spewing out the smell of pollution. "As long as this entrance is sealed, at least the pollution in the mine can be initially controlled."

Although blocking this hole is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution, while facing the threat of the Old City, Cheng Shen at least does not have to worry about the pollution smell leaking out of the mine in a short period of time.

As for underground pollution sources, it will take an extremely long time to clean them up.

If he can't solve the problems in the Old City, there's no need to think about it at all.

Thinking in his mind, Cheng Shen had already started to try, and he chose the simplest and most effective method.

block.

As the spiritual energy spread out, the ground in front of him suddenly changed slightly. The rocks that had been severely eroded by the contaminated energy gradually changed in shape, and the one-meter-wide hole began to slowly close.

There are no external obstacles.

Cheng Shen basically encountered no problems during this process.

Soon, the cave entrance from which the polluted fog continued to pour out disappeared without a trace.

The ground is flat as if it has always been one piece.

"That should be enough."

Cheng Shen nodded, and after solving this problem, he returned to the other side of the underground world where the Temple of Sacrifice was located to check. The situation here was still stable, and there was no fog floating on the gently flowing underground river.

"It's the result of that resentful one..."

Cheng Shen was thoughtful.

He had already learned from the goddess the origin of the monster entrenched in the underground river.

It was a special monster raised in a deserted village.

Resentment.

It can grow by swallowing the energy of the abyss, and the temple raises it in the underground river precisely to control the abyss pollution concentration in this area so that it does not exceed the standard, causing them to be unable to survive normally here.

But the resentment cultivated in the deserted village could only swallow up the pollution of the abyss.

After arriving here, I was inevitably affected by the dark atmosphere.

In the end, the distortion turned into an existence that even they couldn't control.

However, for hundreds of years, this evil creature has lived peacefully with the people worshiping at the temple. As long as you cross the river in a psychic boat made in the deserted village, you will not be attacked by it.

Over time.

People who worship the temple are accustomed to ignoring its existence.

"The entrance to the cave where the temple's abandoned residents performed death rituals should be in the upper reaches of the underground river..."

Cheng Shen stood on the steps and looked at the far end of the dark river.

He looked at the ghost coffins floating on the river like countless ghost ships, and then gave up the idea of ​​exploring upstream.

There is no other reason.

The goddess mentioned that they were also curious to explore upstream.

But the psychic ship they boarded inexplicably brought them to a very terrifying place. This underground river seemed not to be a river in the conventional sense, but a road leading to the "netherworld".

Netherworld.

It was the people who worshiped the temple that gave it its name.

In fact, even the sick people in the deserted village don't know where the river ends.

They just intercepted part of the power of the underground river and used it as a way to trade with the Temple of Sacrifice.

Learn this.

Cheng Shen felt lucky that he had not taken the psychic boat to explore the underground river rashly.

Fortunately, he is used to making decisions carefully no matter what.

Otherwise, he might be floating on an unknown river section now...

Try to communicate with the evil creature again.

To no avail.

Cheng Shen stopped by the temple's treasure house to refill his backpack.

The Temple of Sacrifice has been entrenched here for more than seven hundred years. Even though there was a long period of stagnant development, their resource reserves are still quite abundant.

Cheng Shen only took away 1% of the items in these two trips.

To simply describe it, their treasure house is like hollowing out the inside of a mountain.

It's full of stuff inside.

Cheng Shen estimated that he would have to go back and forth at least a hundred times to completely empty it out.

"It's a bit troublesome..."

After he blurted out these words, Cheng Shen had already thought of a solution.

Although the improvement of wisdom cannot change his knowledge and thinking logic, the pure thinking speed is simply a qualitative change from human to machine.

Why don't you build a temporary teleportation array here?!

Cheng Shen thought.

He had already observed the teleportation array in the market before, which was also a magic array structured with runes. It would not be difficult for him to imitate one.

That teleportation array cost him nearly six thousand gold coins in total.

in.

Five thousand gold is charged by the system.

But the money was mainly spent on the system helping him make ready-made formation slates. With the formation slates, he did not need to keep an eye on the teleportation array at all times, saving high maintenance costs including time and energy.

Otherwise, when the teleportation array is activated, he, the only array mage in the village, will have to watch by the teleportation array all the time.

What a waste of time.

But Cheng Shen's current needs can be achieved without making formation stone tablets.

He took action immediately.

To build a temporary teleportation array, you only need to provide the energy when the array is activated.

At this point, Cheng Shen can also use the formation energy originally built underground in the Temple of Sacrifice.

It’s just free prostitution!

Prostitution for free is so delicious.

The memories in his mind were twisted into array structures one by one with the fluctuation of mental power. Soon, a narrow portal that could only accommodate one person slowly took shape in front of the treasure house.

"Done."

Cheng Shen nodded with satisfaction.

He stepped forward and entered the coordinates, and a familiar scene vaguely appeared on the light screen of the portal.

Cheng Shen still cautiously grabbed a surviving petrified ancestor and pushed it into the door.

See it appear completely intact on the other side of the door.

This makes me feel at ease.

Most of the items in the treasure house needed simple purification and removal of contamination. Cheng Shen temporarily opened a warehouse in the market to store the materials, and then began a few hours of moving work.

After a period of hard work, the densely packed treasure house with countless ore materials and equipment finally emerged on solid ground.

"call……"

Cheng Shen showed a satisfied smile like an old farmer.

This personal transportation also gave him a thorough understanding of the family background of the Sacrifice Temple. Those ore materials ranging from fine to perfect quality were not what excites him the most.

There are actually a large number of items made of star gold hidden in the treasure house!

Yes, a lot!

The uses of star gold can be expanded to various fields, whether it is alchemy parts, forging equipment, or making jewelry props.

Adding a certain amount of star gold can make a qualitative difference in the finished product.

The people who worshiped the temple obviously also discovered this. During a certain period of time when they controlled this place, they built hundreds of pieces of equipment and various items containing star gold in stages!

Although, most of these items are no longer usable due to their age.

But this does not delay the re-extraction of the star gold!

Moreover, this discovery made Cheng Shen realize something.

During that time period, the goblins controlled by the Temple of Sacrifice probably dug up star gold deposits underground!

in other words.

There is a star gold mine underground in his forest!

Cheng Shen's breathing became rapid. He no longer needed to elaborate on the question of how precious the Star Gold was.

If he can find a star gold mine, he will take off directly!

What's weird,

What a curse.

Cheng Shen has always had a dream, which is to build himself a set of star gold armor.

He even has the confidence to confront Tenant No. 5 and the curse of the deep sea head-on!

Immediately.

Cheng Shen went to find Weiman to verify the matter.

However, he did not live long, and although the Temple of Sacrifice understood the preciousness of star gold, it regarded it as a special metal.

There are no additional records.

As a result, Wieman did not understand this past history.

and.

He poured another basin of cold water on Cheng Shen.

Even if there is a star gold mine, it may have been contaminated by the abyssal breath over the years and turned into worthless waste. Moreover, even if it has not been contaminated into waste, who would dare to risk their lives to mine it in such underground conditions?

Weiman's two words directly calmed Cheng Shen down.

no way.

The appearance of Xingchen Jin really made him so excited.

If the star gold mine can be found, it will be equivalent to solving the most terrifying threat in this world.

It's no wonder that even Cheng Shen's character is a bit out of character.

"Lord, if you need to find mineral deposits, you may wish to consider the suggestions I made to you before..."

Weiman said politely.

"Um?"

Cheng Shen was stunned for a moment, then realized that Weiman had mentioned to him before that almost every member of their goblin clan was proficient in mining.

He had previously regarded this as Weiman's excuse.

In addition, his recruitment focus is mainly on selecting scientific researchers.

Just ignored it.

But now, they have lived in his annexed territory for more than one natural day.

Cheng Shen can already check their attributes through the territory panel.

He opened the panel with a slightly restrained mind, and the detailed attributes of each goblin flashed in his eyes.

Cheng Shen clicked on the mining filter conditions.

really.

Among the more than 900 goblins, more than 700 have mastered mining skills.

Among them, there are more than 300 people with skill levels above level five.

Cheng Shen followed Weiman's recommendation and looked up the names of several specific people.

It was discovered that these people not only had skill levels above level ten.

and.

They all have quite unique talents.

For example, one of them: A master of exploration can discover mineral deposits up to two hundred meters underground. There is also a jade mind, which can analyze the distribution structure and approximate reserves of gems and crystals in a vein.

These two goblins work together like an exploration radar.

It can save him a lot of trouble.
