Chapter 617 Pillars of Steel Mountain
Author: Fierce Male Hamster
[Holy Mountain·Tianfeng], this holy mountain is so spectacular that even Qi Ge felt a sense of solemnity when he stood at the foot of the holy mountain.
Compared with his current short stature, the sacred mountain is too tall.
His current height is exactly 1 meter, and the sacred mountain is at least 14,000 meters high, and you can't even see the end at a glance.
Mount Everest, the highest mountain on earth, is only 8,848 meters.
I am afraid that only those who have reached the foot of Mount Everest can appreciate the shock of Seven Pigeons raising their heads at this moment.
And this extremely tall sacred mountain only occupies half of this underground space.
In other words, this underground space is at least 30,000 meters long.
Climbing Mount Kailash is hard work.
The dwarves believe that the sacred mountain is extremely sacred. No dwarf dares to put a pickaxe on the sacred mountain. This is disrespectful to the sacred mountain and will be punished by the dwarves collectively.
Therefore, there is no dwarf building on this sacred mountain.
This means that there are no steps or stairs. When encountering some difficult-to-climb terrain, you can only use your bare hands.
But the dwarves have more solutions than difficulties.
In many places on the Holy Mountain, there is a fluorescent ball suspended on the Holy Mountain - this is the seed of underground dandelion, which will take root as soon as it hits the ground, but the Holy Mountain is an exception.
[Under the Golden Mountain] only grows [Golden Grass],
[Steel Mountain Pillar] will only grow [Oliha Vine],
[Silver Mountain Range] will only grow [Silver Light Tree].
Therefore, dwarves can hang fluorescent balls on the sacred mountain and use fluorescent balls to form roads.
These fluorescent roads are suitable roads for climbing mountains that the dwarves have explored over decades.
But the sacred mountain is too high and too steep.
Especially the Steel Mountain Pillar section is particularly difficult to climb.
Even for well-trained dwarves, it would take 6 to 7 days to return to the top of the mountain.
Therefore, dwarves rarely climb mountains if there is nothing else to do.
Each time you climb a mountain, you need to gather at least thirty dwarves before you can start.
Of course, the dwarves will also leave about 20,000 tribesmen on the mountain, responsible for picking up the [Adamantine], [Oliha Steel] and [Mithril] produced from time to time by the sacred mountain.
After Qi Ge learned about it, he learned that the dwarves had too much respect for the sacred mountain, and no dwarf dared to eat the plants produced by the sacred mountain.
This made Qi Ge feel very sorry.
If dwarves can eat some leaves of [Golden Light Grass], [Oliha Vine] and [Silver Light Tree] like fairies, maybe new types of soldiers will appear among them.
Qi Ge was a little confused at first, why the dwarves had to gather 30 people to climb the mountain.
But when Qi Ge climbed to the Pillar of Steel Mountain with the leader of the Shi Fist clan, he understood.
On the Steel Mountain Pillar, there are broken cliffs everywhere.
The farthest cliff is even more than 20 meters long.
Normally, a bridge would need to be built to pass over such a cliff.
But the dwarves don't even dare to knock on the sacred mountain, so how can they dare to build a bridge on the sacred mountain?
As a result, the dwarves invented a very special way of crossing the bridge.
I saw a dwarf holding onto the cliff with his hands, his back straight.
He asked a dwarf to hold his feet and straighten them up as well.
In this way, one dwarf grabbed another dwarf, and a total of twenty-two dwarves formed a [Dwarf Bridge].
The special body structure and exaggerated muscle strength of dwarves allow them to support themselves in the air without bending down.
The last eight dwarves walked across the dwarf bridge and helped catch the last dwarf.
The first dwarf let go, stood up straight, and followed the team.
Then the second dwarf, the third dwarf...
In this way, all thirty dwarves successfully crossed the cliff together.
This action is a bit like the action of Seven Pigeons when they were pulled up to the city wall by the dwarves.
Seeing the excitement on Qige's face after crossing the bridge, the head of the Shiquan clan laughed and asked:
"Jiu Mine, didn't you like building bridges in the past? You were always vying to be the bridge pillar.
(Bridge pillar: The first or last dwarf requires the most strength.
If it cannot be supported, it will cause the entire dwarf bridge to fall, which is a heavy responsibility and is also a symbol of strong dwarves.)
Why don't you fight today?
Have you become more mature after getting married?"
Qi Ge smiled and touched his head, but did not answer.
After this period of life and death, he discovered that not answering a question that he really couldn't decide was still an answer.
As long as you don't answer, you won't die in many cases.
This historical echo forced Qi Ge, who was full of bad ideas, into a simple and honest dwarf.
Qige followed the leader of the Stone Fist clan all the way to the huge furnace on the Pillar of Steel Mountain.
In the huge furnace, a purple to black flame was burning quietly.
A group of dwarves from the Hammer Clan are forging armor and weapons with the help of flames.
The dwarves of the Stronghammer Clan have formed an assembly line with a high degree of division of labor.
Each of a dozen dwarves is responsible for melting a resource, and the other dozen dwarves merge the resources together.
Then a long line of dwarves hit one area with a hammer with all their strength and then retreated, followed by the following dwarves.
This high degree of division of labor allows the dwarves to produce armor and weapons with extremely high efficiency.
It’s just that this production method has no soul, and at most it can only produce mallets and armor for the [War Bear Cavalry].
If you want to produce equipment for [Frenzy Dwarf], [Rune Patriarch], [Fire Talisman Lord] and high-level dwarves, you need to build some other high-level hammer dwarves throughout the process.
Fortunately, there are only a few high-level and high-level dwarves, so they don't need much equipment.
Seeing Qige's head poking around, the head of the Shiquan clan proudly introduced:
"Jiu Mine, is this your first time here?
This is the melting pot formed naturally by the sacred mountain, and the flame of the sacred mountain burns inside it and will never go out.
Even the indestructible Oliha steel will be melted by the flames of the sacred mountain.
But the amazing thing is that this flame is suspended in the furnace. As long as you don't enter the flame, you can't feel any heat no matter how close you are.
Since the introduction of the Flame of the Holy Mountain, the dwarves of the Stronghammer clan have suddenly become much more powerful and can easily earn a lot of points.
Even rune stones, which were originally produced in very small quantities, can now be produced in large quantities.
Don't look at it, no matter how powerful the flames of the sacred mountain are, they have nothing to do with us, the Stone Fist Clan, and the place we want to go is not here."
"Okay, here we go."
The leader of the Stone Fist clan took the seven pigeons in a circle and arrived at a place surrounded by a group of dwarves.
Surrounded by the dwarves, Qi Ge saw a large number of high-level resources placed on the ground.
Qi Ge had never thought that extremely rare fifth-level resources such as fine gold, mithril, and Oliha steel could be described as piles of hills.
Just looking at these resources makes Qige drool.
There is a saying that the ancient dwarves who can directly convert chaos monsters into resources are really rich.
The leader of the Stone Fist clan explained the situation to the guards and showed the three points obtained by the seven pigeons.
The guards deducted 1 point from the score and gave Qi Ge three sacks of resources.
Even fine gold, mithril, and Oriha steel were given to seven pigeons and ten each.
Qi Ge carried a bag on his left and right shoulders, and another bag on his head. His appearance was indescribably funny.
But when the dwarves passing by saw Qi Ge's appearance, they all showed envy in their eyes.
Seeing that the head of the Shiquan clan was about to return with him, Qi Ge couldn't help but asked anxiously:
"Clan leader, don't we go to the Yinshan Mountains to have a look?"
The head of the Stone Fist clan shook his head and said:
“The mountains of Yinshan Mountain have not yet fully grown up, and there are no functional sacred mountain buildings yet. What’s so interesting about it?
