Chapter 142 Exploring the Underground World
After this battle, Qu Mao not only killed the strongest monster in Yidao that the cheating system revealed to Qu Mao very early on, but also saved a total of 7 treasure chests in his backpack, and among these 7 treasure chests, the high-level treasure chest was It occupies two, 1 diamond treasure chest and 1 purple gold treasure chest.
Taking advantage of the rest time after the war, Qu Mao called Kong Ming and Su Yan together to discuss the follow-up arrangements.
In this folding space, only six treasure chests and 50 explosives from the evil eyes of the fourth-level monsters were obtained, which obviously did not meet Qu Mao's expectations.
After some discussion, the three decided to hand over 20 leaders who served as logistics auxiliary soldiers to Kong Ming, and let Kong Ming take the leaders and wounded soldiers back to Mingang Village, and then arrange them to be treated in Yi Village or Fisherman Village. Later, Kong Ming led the troops to continue hunting to supplement the food of the three villages in Yidao.
Qu Mao and Su Yan continued to lead troops to explore this underground folding space. Although this place is called an underground folding space, it is not completely without light, but it is darker and more humid than the swampy terrain in the previous folding space, but There is no swamp into which one can sink.
Occasionally there are some moss or stones that can glow on the ground, so that the underground world can barely see the road clearly.
After splitting the troops, the troops led by Qu Mao and Su Yan only had 50 third-tier princess guards, 10 first-tier sword and shield soldiers, 10 second-tier flying ax fighters, and one sixth-tier intermediate water magician Jenny Walter, counting Su Yan and Qu Mao, there are only 73 people in total.
Although the 30 second-tier archers were not injured, but considering that Kong Ming still had a long way to go to return to Mingang Village with a large number of wounded soldiers, it was impossible to have no defensive power. The 30 second-tier archers were in the jungle of Yidao. , as long as you don't provoke monsters, you can basically walk sideways.
Continue to explore the underground space along the direction away from the entrance. Qu Mao's troops also found some resource mines along the way, but Qu Mao did not attack.
This underground world is completely different from Yidao. The wild resource mines on Yidao are all garrisoned by wild beasts. Even if there are occasional monsters stationed there, they are generally zero-level and first-level monsters, and the highest level does not exceed second-level monsters. But most of the resource mines in this underground world are guarded by monsters that Qu Mao doesn't know, and the few monsters that the sixth-level intermediate water magician Jenny Water can recognize are also third-level or fourth-level monsters.
There are some monsters that Jenny Water can still name, but there are more monsters that Jenny Water can't even name.
Searched the underground world for a long time, but Qu Mao just felt that a long time had passed, but he didn't know how long it had passed. The only feeling was that this space was very huge.
Qu Mao led the troops to maintain a formation with a width of about 20 meters, and continued to explore forward. It was not until Qu Mao and the troops ate food three times that Qu Mao realized that the exploration operation might have passed a whole day, but There was no sign that this space had come to an end, and no other underground caves were found.
The cheating system didn’t give Qu Mao some additional tips. Qu Mao even wanted to spend 50 cheating points to ask the cheating system for tips, but the cheating system showed that he didn’t have enough permissions.
Qu Mao cursed angrily in his heart: "Damn it! What kind of permission is needed for cheating? Can asking for permission still be called cheating?"
Of course Qu Mao did not express this emotion, after all there was still a large army behind him.
Looking for Su Yan, Qu Mao asked: "Su Yan, it can be seen that this folding space is very large, and the level of monsters is relatively high, so it is not particularly easy to attack.
Along the way, we found dozens of resource mines, but they were all guarded by monsters of Tier 3 and above, which made us dare not attack easily.
Although the underground world is dark and gloomy, I guess I have spent at least a day exploring it. "
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and said: "Damn it! Su Yan, you didn't say it earlier.
How about this, let the soldiers build a bonfire, arrange for the soldiers to take turns to rest, and only keep one squad of soldiers on alert, and all the soldiers take turns to alert and rest.
After we have a good rest, we will discuss whether to continue exploring this space, or return to Yi Village first, and we will talk about it later. "
Su Yan said dissatisfiedly: "My lord, we only picked up 6 treasure chests, how could we return to Yi Village so quickly?
There are 999 units of hay and 999 units of firewood in the backpacks of the subordinates. Master Kong Ming also transferred 999 units of bacon into the backpacks of the subordinates before going back, which is enough to support our team of 73 people to explore outside for more than ten days.
Since everyone is here, let’s pick up some more treasure chests before going back. "
Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "Let's talk after the rest, let alone the soldiers, I am very tired.
First light up the bonfire and roast the bacon. Everyone will fill their stomachs first, then go to sleep to recharge their spirits, and then consider other issues later.
Don't you see it? We didn’t meet a single wild animal on this journey. I’m afraid that if we stay too long and there is no fresh food, it won’t be enough for us to go back the same way. "
Su Yan thought for a while, and said: "My lord, let's use 5 days as the deadline. If we can't find anything else after 5 days, we will go back the same way..."
Qu Mao said: "No matter what we encounter after 5 days, and no matter what we gain, we must immediately return according to the original route.
The only thing that is certain now is that this space is very huge. When Kong Ming returned, I had already handed over all the treasure chests to him. This means that once we run out of food, there will be no retreat. "
Speaking of this, Qu Mao asked the cheating system silently in his heart: "Cheating system, if we want to go back the same way, can you make sure we don't get lost?"
The cheating system shows: "Rookie host, dish is only one word, and I only say it once! You only need to spend 1 cheating point, and the system can record the route you have traveled for you.
I dare not say that it can help you explore this folding space, but as long as you follow my instructions, there will be no problem in returning to the original path. "
With the guarantee of the cheating system, Qu Mao breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Su Yan, call the soldiers to eat and rest, and then go to bed.
Let Su Buqing arrange a vigilant team, and after all the teams take turns to be vigilant, we get up and eat, and prepare to continue exploring the road. "
Su Yan said: "Oh, yes, my lord! The subordinates will arrange it immediately, and you should rest for a while."
With the guarantee of the cheating system, Qu Mao no longer worries about exploring the back road of this underground world, and his mood is much more relaxed.
