Chapter 178 Under the Abyss (8)

For Berkner's players, most players probably never had their heartbeat in their lives. For them, in reality, many people have never seen a gem with a natural weight of at least fifty carats, whether it is sapphire, ruby ​​or diamond. At most, they can see natural objects full of dazzling atmosphere in the store through the counter window.

However, most players can still touch the natural gems in these games. Although they are not necessarily large in size, they are extremely rare in reality based on the weight. However, these gems cannot be compared with the gemstone rough stones that have just been dug out of the rocks. Even though these rough stones have not been processed, they still exud a fascinating luster in the palm of their hands.

Although they look so inconspicuous and ugly, even if they are not processed, they can still be sold at a high price of dozens of gold coins. If it is a gem containing magic, then those spellcasters, especially secret mages like Wang Xuewen, will cry and shout and wave the gold coins to buy. Because for secret mages, gems that can add magic are their biggest reliance on for survival.

If they attached spells to the gems, the gems they originally bought at high prices could quickly increase their value several times. Even if the gems looked very poor in color and were even worse than glass slag, they would become quite valuable after being attached to spells by secret mages. However, in this abyss outside the wilderness of Berkner Town, when the resurrected Fei Yongjun and others took the gems they dug for identification, they were surprised to find that nearly one-third of the gems they dug were gems with a trace of magic that could be attached to spells. Even if most of these gems were too small, they could only add up to two or three levels of spells, but their value quickly surged from dozens of gold coins to hundreds of gold coins.

As for why such gems are so expensive, it is because of the secret gems made with spells. The released spells are essentially different from ordinary magic scrolls. Spell scrolls can only make the magic contained in spells reach a certain level unless they use expensive materials. Most spells released by casting scrolls are of great power. Because there are too few magic powers that can be attached to the scrolls, these gems are different. The magic power that can be contained in these gems is completely determined by the shape and size of the gems. A gem that can make a second-level secret gem can contain even more magic power than the maximum required to release a second-level gem.

For example! With Xu Fei's nearly 10,000 magic power, if used to release a second-level arcane, the power is basically three times greater than that of an ordinary player after learning the second-level spell. However, Xu Fei's full body of magic power injected a second-level secret magic gem, but he could not fill the gem. In this way, the spell released by a second-level secret magic gem filled with magic power will produce at least four times the power that ordinary players can cast spells. At the same time, it is eight to nine times that of an ordinary second-level magic scroll. And the secret mage with such secret magic gems all over his body has the same combat power as a mobile gunpowder bank.

Because of this, a well-made secret magic gem is several times or even dozens of times that of a spell scroll of the same level. However, most secret mages either leave it for themselves or for their students after making secret magic gems. There are few outflows. Therefore, the instant spell equipment circulating on the market is still mainly spell scrolls, not just because it is cheap. The most important thing is that it is easy to choose materials and is simple to make, but it is cheap and cost-effective. After all, secret magic gems and spell scrolls have the chance of failure. It is not that the better the material of the gem, the higher the chance of successful making of the gem, but it depends entirely on luck and technical support.

A secret mage who is so lucky that he is so bad that he vomits blood skills may not necessarily make the lowest level secret gem. Therefore, secret gems on the market are basically priceless and difficult to find. Of course, what is even more difficult to find is the magic gems that can be used to make secret gems. After all, there are always some secret mages with outstanding talents, or people with good luck can make successful secret gems. Such people do not lack the materials they lack the most. After all, gems are originally a very rare treasure in the earth, and even a crazy miner like a dwarf who drills underground every day is not likely to dig into gem mines. Therefore, the price of large-grain gems in the game has always been very high. Therefore, when these players heard the news from Fei Yongjun and others, the heart beating in their chests began to pump blood wildly to all parts of their bodies.

As long as all players know this news, they began to run wildly towards the location where the abyss is located, and even players from those territories adjacent to Chen Kai began to run over in danger. As the news continues to be passed, the player lords who are close to Chen Kai were almost scarlet. If it weren't for the demonized creatures that kept wandering around and the huge military strength of Berkner Town, these player lords would have begun to take into account the laws of the Hansting Empire and prepare to seize the gem mines of Chen Kai's territory.

However, Heng Chen is in front of these players whose eyes are fascinated by gems. This is a terrible place where you basically fall into meat paste after falling down. So far, the number of players swallowed by this abyss has increased from the first four to more than 300 now. The number of deaths caused by a broken rope alone exceeds 120, and the number of people who ended up pulling each other to death due to the competition for the place has exceeded 100. The remaining more than 100 people were either swallowed by passing rock lizards or poisoned to death when they encountered terrible poisons under the abyss.

However, these dead players did not stop the players who were fascinated by gems. More players rushed to the edge of the abyss and watched Chen Kai gradually erected the camp with saliva. Of course, giving them three courages would not necessarily attack Chen Kai's soldiers, but as the players gathered more and more, the danger gradually enveloped the players near the abyss.

Such a large-scale gathering is definitely the best target for demonized creatures that are active in the wild in Berkner Town. For the former lord Hugodi who controls the demonized creatures, the lord of Berkner Town who leaves the territory is definitely seeking death. In fact, if Ankniru had not been injured, the demonized soldiers would have probably appeared in front of Chen Kai long ago. After all, there is no better chance than killing Chen Kai in the wild. After the siege night before, the former lord Hugodi understood very well. It is basically impossible to capture the terrifying defense facilities of Berkner Town with a sneak attack by relying on demonized soldiers. Therefore, the former lord Hugodi wanted to kill Chen Kai's vitality in the wild, consume his combat power, and thus weaken the defense power of the entire Berkner Town.

Unfortunately, his own strength has been severely consumed by the players at this moment. You must know that players can be resurrected, but the dead demonized soldiers cannot be resurrected again. When Count Hugodi completely merged with the demonic bloodline in his body and became like this, the number of soldiers he could control had been reduced from nearly 100,000 at the beginning to less than 50,000 now. Every day, demonized soldiers die in battle with players. Even if a demonized soldier can kill three or four players, the number of players in Hugodi's leadership is more than 100,000. Even if these players die once a day, they can kill at least 20,000 or 30,000 demonized soldiers.

Although this possibility is not high, after such a long battle, players can kill thousands of demonized soldiers every month. The players in Berkner Town only killed at least one or two thousand. This is not the number of demonized soldiers and cavalry killed by the indigenous soldiers. In this case, it is a foregone conclusion that the Count Hugodi's strength has dropped sharply. At the same time, the number of soldiers in the earl's hands was not 100,000 at the beginning, and the soldiers who survived the demonization were only 50,000 or 60,000. More troops were

Those monsters were just counting. Of course, now the wingless demons he dug through the space gap by him from the demon world, and the strength of Count Hugodi slightly changed from the original continuous decline to the current steady recovery. Unfortunately, after suffering several losses in Chen Kai, his strength declined again. Especially in the siege that the eve of the siege was too late to mobilize the wingless demons to participate in the battle. Baron Ankniru only had a sneak attack with monsters and demonized soldiers, but he lost a lot and almost broke his head by the magic crystal cannon.

In addition to the troops lost by the soldiers in the field battles, Count Hugodi found that he had lost at least 5,000 demonized soldiers and nearly 2,000 demonized cavalry in Chen Kai's hands. As for the number of monsters he used to be cannon fodder, there was even more. Because of this, the former master of Hugodi's territory. The current demon lord Count Hugodi is extremely angry with Chen Kai. Unfortunately, he is resentful, but he dare not leave the underground world and come to the ground to cause trouble for Chen Kai. If he really does that, then the next moment, the strong men from the Hansting Empire royal family will completely crush him to death and not even be left. Maybe the temple that received the news will come directly to kill demons and destroy demons and completely eliminate him from the soul to the **.

So although he was very angry with Chen Kai in his heart. However, because the troops at hand were really reserved, he could not cause trouble for Chen Kai, so he could only entrust the important task of killing Chen Kai to Baron Kemal Dal, who was under his control. But now the baron is busy dealing with the problems in the Northern Noble Alliance. Due to his poor performance in Garros Town, although he later regained a little reputation with the heads of two dead demonized cavalrymen, in the minds of most of the indigenous nobles in the north, the Baron Kemal Dal has been equated with the waste, and even behind his back someone calls him a sinister and despicable bastard.

Baron Kemal Dal, who had long regarded the Northern Noble Alliance as his back garden, has now discovered that he could no longer command any noble members of the Northern League. Most of the nobles are now not a member of the former alliance leader. It can be said that the entire Northern Noble Alliance is now in a situation where there are no leaders. Although they are still united in name, the entire noble alliance has been divided into pieces and cannot even block the road from other northern territories to the southern player territory.

It is in this case that players who receive news about the gemstone vein begin to flock to Berkner Town from the territory around the imperial capital. However, because the teleportation array cannot be directly reached, most players can only slowly rush through their legs little by little. At their movement speed, it is estimated that it will take at least seven or eight days to reach Berkner Town. At this time, players who arrive in advance can definitely send first-hand messages back, and players behind these players can also be prepared to brake or accelerate at any time.

Although Chen Kai knew that Xu Fei had posted an advertisement, he even knew that a large number of players were pouring towards Berkner Town. However, he did not know the consequences of the number of these players. The only thing he knew was that he could ask Xu Fei to hire a caravan to mix the purchased food into the army of these players.

Everything seemed to be starting to develop in a better direction, and this transformation only happened in one day. Even Chen Kai's mood began to improve. At least when he looked at the huge purple iron rough stone that gradually appeared under the cliff, he couldn't help but laugh. Although Chen Kai knew that there must be something better under the abyss, the only thing he could mine at the moment was this huge purple iron rough stone. Even with Xu Fei's additional suspension magic device, it would be very difficult to pull it out of the underground world more than 300 meters below.

After all, Chen Kai cannot accurately calculate the weight of this rough stone. If the spell device Xu Fei purchased at that time cannot afford this huge purple iron rough stone, then other things will need to be used, such as a huge pulley set and thousands of war horses for dragging.

"Damn! I forgot. I have to build a suspension bridge to pull that thing out of the abyss! Damn!" Chen Kai suddenly patted his forehead. He was just happy but forgot about the most important thing. If there was no suspension bridge, even if the spell suspension equipment purchased by Xu Fei could successfully make the whole piece of ore float in the air, such a huge thing would require some auxiliary facilities to pull out of the underground world. At least a suspension bridge across both sides of the abyss was what he needed the most. If Xu Fei's spell device could not withstand the weight of the ore, then the suspension bridge would need to be built more solid.

Chen Kai's mind instantly changed from excitement to depression, because he found that he had no way to build a suspension bridge that could withstand hundreds of tons. If the floating equipment Xu Fei purchased could not support the huge purple iron stone, then Chen Kai could only stare at the huge ore. After all, if Chen Kai wanted to make a suspension bridge, then the suspension bridge would have to span at least both sides of the abyss nearly 30 meters. And the most important thing was that it could lift objects weighing nearly 300 tons. But no one knew whether the ore was only 300 tons, or higher or lighter. But even if it was to build a suspension bridge that could support about 100 tons, Chen Kai could not complete it because the entire town of Berkner lacked such technicians.

"Second! Can you buy a suspension bridge for me in the imperial capital? Or a crane! Damn. There is no crane in the entire Berkner Town!" Chen Kai contacted Xu Fei while he was offline. It cannot be said that Berkner Town has no crane. At least several pulley sets are still available, but how could those pulley sets pull up countless heavy purple iron ore?

"What suspension bridge crane? Where did you ask me to do this?" Xu Fei was stunned when he heard Chen Kai's words. Although there were many mechanical devices in the game, they were not as developed as in reality. However, even in reality, it was rare to lift hundreds of tons of heavy objects. It was almost at the level of a behemoth. With real technology, such a crane is also expensive, but there are basically no such large-scale cranes in the game. Because most things are made of magic as a medium, and few mechanical objects are lifted into such large-scale things.

"You try to think of a solution! I'll build a simple wooden suspension bridge to support it!" After Chen Kai finished speaking, he began to organize people and build a wooden suspension bridge above the abyss. Just looking for the two main beams that can span nearly thirty meters, Chen Kai hollowed out the warehouse in Berkner Town. At the same time, in order to strengthen the structure of the main beam, Chen Kai also used the metal produced in Berkner Town to strengthen the entire wooden beam. Although Chen Kai's territory lacked the technicians to make large suspension bridges, there was no shortage of enough workers, at least the indigenous blacksmiths were still very qualified.

With the efforts of these craftsmen, the suspension bridge took less than half a day to appear in the wilderness outside Berkner Town. However, the wooden bridge did not have a hoisting structure, it was just a simple wooden board bridge spanning the cliff, and it looked quite useless. At least until he was completely completed, no one understood Chen Kai's intention to build this wooden bridge.

When Chen Kai mobilized workers to build a wooden bridge, Wang Lei slowly climbed in the underground abyss, and the surrounding temperature began to show a polarization state. On the side close to the cliff, Wang Lei found that the rocks were very hot and might even burn the ropes, but the temperature on the other side of the cliff was extremely low, so low that people's blood could instantly freeze. Wang Lei, who was sandwiched between the cliffs on both sides, was so hot that one side of his body was dying, but the other side was dying. (To be continued...)
