Chapter 358 The Weird Cave Before You
Could this be something from the abyss?
While Zhou Zhenghao was thinking wildly, he carefully held the Chimera machete in his hand and slowly moved forward half a step.
Finally he stood under this tree trunk and looked up. It was indeed very high. It was almost as high as three or four stories. The huge bird's nest-like thing above was right above his head.
It seemed to be woven with unknown black vines. He always felt that this thing had an evil and weird atmosphere.
"What are you afraid of? I've broken S-level ones in weird scenes, but I'm still afraid of you breaking tree stumps..."
This tree x doesn't look like a tree at all. It's like someone sawed off the entire tree, leaving only a branch.
Zhou Zhenghao gritted his teeth and struck the tree trunk hard with his knife.
The sound of "Dang!..." actually made a muffled sound. It was neither crisp and clear like metal hitting each other, nor did it sound like a thump on wood. Instead, it sounded like someone was cutting on hard leather. , that muffled sound coming from the rubber.
"What the hell is this?..."
At this moment, a prompt box suddenly popped up in front of Zhou Zhenghao's eyes.
[The Black Dragon's Lair, a special building in the wild, cannot be moved or destroyed. The Black Dragon's Lair can provide challenges for five people, with 1,000 gold coins per challenge, 10,000 gold coins per challenge for 100 people, and 100,000 gold coins per challenge for 1,000 people.]
[Please note that death in the black dragon's lair is equivalent to death in reality. Please choose carefully from the black tower room. Has the black tower room decided to start the challenge now? 】
It was an outdoor building. Zhou Zhenghao was slightly startled.
What kind of game is this world? Why is the world view so messy? I made a War Corridor tower defense game before, so I won’t tell you.
Later it turned into a business strategy game. Why do you want to make Invincible Heroes for me now?
This is definitely a super suture monster.
But Zhou Zhenghao also knew that this black dragon's lair must be a good thing. It might be his biggest gain from occupying the ancient city this time. This also explains why the three abyss black dragon kings were so defeated.
Although he saw that even if five people challenged it, it would cost 1,000 gold coins, but this showed that the value of this nest was very high. If the challenge was successful, the loot would definitely be much higher than 1,000.
"Lord, what on earth is that?..."
At this time, Manatee also saw Zhou Zhenghao there in a daze. When he shouted, Zhou Zhenghao reacted.
It seems that only Black Tower users can enter this outdoor building, and other ordinary people like them have no way to enter, so they turned around and walked out.
Tell the manatee the information in the prompt box. After listening to it, the manatee's eyes lit up.
"You mean you can enter here to challenge. What's in it? Is there any treasure?..."
"How do I know? Since it is the black dragon's lair, I know from the name that it must be the abyss black dragon..."
"Really? I thought we had all been killed, but I didn't expect that there was still someone in this lair. Well, should we organize people to go in and kill him? Will he run out?..."
"Don't worry, these Black Abyss Black Dragons will not escape, and they will definitely organize people to go in and kill them. But now we need to clean up the city and sort out the things outside. We will slowly build up this Abyss Black Dragon's lair in the future. Research, don’t be in a hurry..."
In fact, Zhou Zhenghao originally wanted to capture Jugu City. This was because the population development in his territory was approaching the limit. In addition, he had obtained so many restoration stones this time.
A large number of villagers can definitely be restored. How to resettle these villagers...?
Now that we have space, we can put them all into this giant ancient city. Standing in the central square and looking around, although the buildings around are dilapidated, you can escape even from these ruins and exchange many useful things.
These ruins may look like mountains of garbage to others, but in Zhou Zhenghao's eyes, they are all materials and can be reused...
Imagine building a city on your own. That is a completely different concept from a territory.
Even if Zhou Zhenghao's current territory has tried his best to expand, he can only recruit 100,000 people at most, and this huge ancient city can easily accommodate hundreds of millions of people...,
There will be a huge space for development here.
…
By this time, Zhou Zhenghao had already sent people back to the territory, asking the territory to send a large number of city defense troops and militiamen here, and even Wang Yijia called over.
Wang Yijia brought 30,000 villagers this time, and these people caught up with Jugu City in batches...,
In the giant ancient city, comprehensive restoration work has already begun. First, the city defense army arrived with a total of 10,000 people. These 10,000 people guarded the surrounding city walls and began to stand guard on them.
In addition, the first task of the villagers brought by Wang Shi is of course to repair the city wall. This is not Zhou Zhenghao's territory, and there is no way to use the lord's function. It can be built with just one click...,
The city wall requires everyone to move bricks one by one and repair the collapsed walls bit by bit. This is a huge project.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhenghao has the support of several other territories and even Gu Ling'er...,
Although Gu Ling'er can't send him people, he can support him with food and some basic supplies.
Just simply repairing a city wall could not be afforded by Zhou Zhenghao's territory and required a lot of labor. At this time, he used all the restoration stones he obtained this time to restore the villagers...
A steady stream of villagers recovered from the third layer of the abyss
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Come, and then was sent to Jugu City,
At this time, the three territories of Han Xingfa, Shuangqianghou and the coward Mao Miao also donated blood to him. Basically, each territory sent 10,000 people to him...
This giant ancient city easily has a population of over 80,000.
Zhou Zhenghao's reclamation regiment did not withdraw, but instead helped the defensive wall of this huge ancient city. The area was too large, and it was impossible to defend it with only 10,000 city defense troops...,
His 8,000 members of the reclamation regiment helped defend nearly half of the city wall, which was barely able to ensure the safety of the entire giant ancient city.
In addition, because of the large city wall, some monsters that did not dare to wander over in the past began to slowly wander over. In the past, there were abyss black dragons gathered here. As long as monsters came, they would be destroyed by these abyss black dragons...,
At this time, the huge number of abyss black dragons had been killed by Zhou Zhenghao's men, so the surrounding monsters could roam over openly.
Because this place became an unclaimed land, it was ruthlessly massacred by the members of the reclamation team on the city wall...
Not only ordinary villagers poured into Jugu City, Zhou Zhenghao also vigorously selected city defense troops from these poor people, quickly expanding the 10,000 city defense troops to 15,000.
And this kind of work will continue. According to Zhou Zhenghao's estimation, the number of city defense troops in the entire giant ancient city will be 100,000.
This is such a huge gap, and it definitely cannot be solved in a day and a half.
These tasks are very cumbersome and troublesome. Although Zhou Zhenghao tries his best to share all aspects of the work, he is still very busy every day and cannot stop even at night...,
Now he and Gu Linger spend less than half an hour chatting every day.
And Gu Ling'er has not been idle. With the help of Zhou Zhenghao, Gu Ling'er pulled together a team of 1,000 mages...
In addition, Gu Ling'er explored the surroundings and discovered two more territories, that is, two black tower users. She has already started to guide these two black tower users.
Zhou Zhenghao was a little surprised that Gu Ling'er's methods were very tough and he directly launched an attack on those two territories...
In Zhou Zhenghao's impression, Gu Ling'er was a beauty after all, but he didn't expect such powerful means. Only then did he realize that Gu Ling'er was not an ordinary woman, but the commander of the Southern Army of the City Lord's Guards.
Gu Ling'er launched an attack on two territories at the same time, so he was very busy. As soon as this person became busy, time passed very quickly. It felt like the day had not passed much, and it was already dark...
Time is like an arrow, sun and moon are like shuttle,
Before you know it, a month has passed...,
With Zhou Zhenghao's strong support, the ancient city has undergone earth-shaking changes. Looking from the sky, it can be seen that the entire city wall has been built, and the previously collapsed areas have been rebuilt and some reinforcements have been made.
Even now, there are still many workers, migrant workers, working on the wall and adding various devices. This is not Zhou Zhenghao's territory, and he cannot build an arrow tower on it...,
But it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. If you can’t build a system, you can build your own.
Following the model of the system, many arrow towers were also built on the city walls. Although these arrow towers have no additional attribute bonuses, they can still play a condescending, lookout and other functions, ^^...
Three or four archers can also be stationed on each arrow tower.
In addition, the development in the giant ancient city is also somewhat deformed. How can I put it, the city center is still in ruins, and there is no human activity in a large area...,
On the contrary, in the area inside the city wall, there were people coming and going, and it seemed a little lively.
This is related to Zhou Zhenghao's policy. When he came in, his first concern was to build the fence, so the villagers who came in basically worked on the fence, so they worked nearby under the fence to repair the houses that were barely habitable...
…,
When these houses were not enough, they began to build houses next to them. The materials for building houses basically came from the original ruins.
Of course, he has the resources of the other four territories, and there is no shortage of basic supplies...
This creates a situation where the outer circle is very prosperous, but the inner city center is in ruins.
However, Zhou Zhenghao believes that as time goes by, this area in the center of the city will definitely become lively. In more than a month, the monsters outside the entire giant ancient city have been almost eliminated...,
There were several large populations, and he also took the members of the reclamation team out several times to clear up large areas of monsters outside.
A large safe area will be cleared...,
In this way, there will be many survivors who are hiding and struggling to survive.
Naturally, people like his giant ancient city came to him. The population of his giant ancient city slowly increased. Although it was not much, the key was sustainability...
After a busy period of time, Zhou Zhenghao finally got everything straightened out.
This morning...,
He led Hainiu, Sun Shuang, Black Bear, Zhang San, plus himself, exactly five people,
Standing in front of the tall black dragon's lair in the center of the city...
"Lord, can I finally conquer this black dragon's lair today?..."
The black bear next to him was eager to try, holding a Chimera spear in his hand.
"That's right, time has passed and we have gained a firm foothold in this giant ancient city. It's time to explore this black dragon's lair and find out what's in it..."
"Then what are you talking about? Lord, let's go in..."
Manatee was talking next to him, but his body didn't move. He knew
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Here is the way. There is a large area outside the black dragon's lair, which is protected by an invisible barrier. Except for Zhou Zhuanghao, the black tower envoy, no one else can enter.
Zhou Zhenghao didn't waste any time and walked over directly.
Today he called a few people over just to attack this outdoor building. He had never seen the Black Dragon's Lair before, and he didn't know what he would encounter inside.
However, the levels of the people around him are all very high, and they can be said to have the highest combat power in his hands at the moment.
So he has confidence.
Stepping into the barrier, Zhou Zhenghao didn't even feel any resistance and walked directly in.
In fact, after walking in, he didn't need to get close to the ugly tree trunk. He just had to walk through the barrier, and after a while the notification sound would sound, and the notification box would flash in front of his eyes.
[Black Tower Envoy, do you want to challenge the Black Dragon's Lair? Please choose five-player mode, 100-player mode, or 1,000-player mode. 】
Zhou Shenghao directly chose the five-player mode and immediately deducted 1,000 gold coins from his backpack.
This amount of money is not worth mentioning for Zhou Zheng's current net worth, but at this moment, a huge countdown number appeared in front of him, and a prompt sounded.
[The countdown is over. Players in the barrier will be teleported directly into the black dragon's lair. 】
59 seconds...,
58 seconds…,
57 seconds…….
The countdown only lasted one minute. Zhou Zhenghao was slightly stunned after listening to the prompt tone, stared at the countdown, and immediately turned around and shouted,
"Try if you can come in now?..."
Players in the barrier, this is obvious. If others don't come in, will they be sent to the abyss of the black dragon's lair alone?
Fortunately, Zhou Zhenghao responded quickly...,
Sure enough, the Black Manatee and the others successfully entered the barrier at this time.
Even after Zhou Zhenghao selected the five-player mode, the barrier emitted blue light, and it could be seen that the latitude and longitude of the inner and outer mirrors of the barrier were clearly defined...
Just as Zhou Zhenghao guessed, the countdown is over.
Everyone felt their eyes blurred, and when they opened their eyes again, they knew they had entered the black dragon's lair, because it was different from the bright sunny day outside, and it seemed a little dim...
"What is this place?..."
Zhang San asked with some surprise.
Zhou Zhenghao and others ignored him at all, and each observed the current environment...,
This should be a cave, obviously.
At the same time, they looked behind them. There was a dead end behind them. Zhou Zhenghao kicked it with his foot. The damp cave wall made a dull sound. It was obvious that there was a solid stone there...
At the same time, they saw that the cave was quite large. Five people could easily stand here. There was even a large range of activities. It was only about ten meters wide.
It's four or five meters high...,
Such a high mountain wall is not smooth. It seems to be naturally formed without any trace of artificial construction.
In addition, the light here is not very dark, there are no torches, but there is a kind of moss that can glow on the walls. The area of these moss is very large...
It emits a slight green fluorescence, illuminating the cave with a pale green color. Zhou Zhenghao saw other people's faces also glowing with a pale green color under the light of the moss.
Now it is not too much to say that this image is a ghost...
It took about a minute to adapt. Manatee tightened the Sea Dragon Shield in his hand, took a step forward, and naturally protected several people behind him.
But at this time, the black bear stood diagonally behind the manatee with its chimera spear in hand.
Several people already have a very tacit understanding...
Zhou Zhenghao took a step back, while Sun Shuang had slowly hidden herself behind the tall figure of the black bear. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to spot her at all.
Needless to say, Zhang San stood next to the black bear and formed a triangle with the manatee. This can take care of attacks from any direction and can quickly counterattack...
No monsters have been found yet, and Zhou Zhenghao didn't take out his golden pharaoh bow. He just stood back leisurely with empty hands.
"Go forward along the passage and take a look..."
Behind them was a dead end, but in front of them was a dark passage. The cave was twisted and not straight, so they couldn't see clearly what was ahead.
The manatee was the first among them, holding up a large shield to protect its entire body, walking forward slowly...,
When everyone came to this strange black dragon's lair, everyone was nervous and careful.
At the same time, I also felt very excited. Even the dopamine in my body began to be secreted rapidly. Adrenaline surged slowly. There was a faint expectation in my heart...
This is the charm of pioneering.
Facing the unknown, facing danger...,
Have the courage to challenge and conquer him...
The manatee didn't walk very far, maybe not even 100m, when he saw something strange and turned around and said to Zhou Zhenghao.
"Lord, look at these things on the wall, do they look like spider silk?..."
"Yes, it's spider silk. Please be careful, but this is the abyss black dragon's lair. Why did I end up in the spider cave? Is this a mistake?..."
Even Zhou Zhouhao was confused by the strange cave in front of him, let alone others.
