The execution efficiency of the dwarves exceeded Qiao Xiu's expectations. Qiao Xiu entrusted Frost Axe yesterday to help reinforce the mine, and the next day Frost Axe directly prepared the materials and manpower.
Now the underground mine dug by Steve is full of busy figures of dwarves.
They solved the lack of oxygen in the ground with a glowing moss... The building materials were transported directly through the portal.
Today is the tenth day of the construction of the underground mine, and the gray fog on the battlefield outside the city wall has subsided a little.
"Children of the forest! Another pile of glowing stones."
Just as the project started today, Al told Joshua good news.
"Have you found a vein again?"
Joshua turned his head to look at Al's game screen, her Steve was running around a group of primitive spar with pale white light.
Al's Steve hasn't run far... A tree root suddenly stretched out of the soil above and grabbed Al's Steve.
A reddish glow appeared on the Steve's surface, indicating that it was taking damage.
Seeing this scene, Ciri, who had been by Joshua's side, immediately switched the diamond pickaxe in her hand to an enchanted diamond sword and rushed forward.
The diamond sword slashed on the surface of the root, although it did not cut off the root... But it was so dense that it was attached to the root and almost filled the entire underground space... The gray fog that completely enveloped it was instantly purified for a large part.
"Is it the World Tree eroded by the gray fog?"
Joshua watched the root retract back into the soil, and Al immediately switched out of the golden apple and started nibbling at the moment he landed.
"Where are we?"
Ciri also got close to Joshua, holding the mouse in one hand and stuffing the cake in the other hand into her mouth.
Roots in the soil emerged again, and these roots gradually formed the shape of a male human. He stared at a group of square people in front of him through pupils formed by a faint light.
"What are you guys?"
A voice like a mixture of males and females came out of this human figure made of tree roots, and if it was an ordinary life form, he might still be able to understand it.
But this kind of humanoid creature composed entirely of blocks may give him the same weird feeling as when humans see the gray fog aberration.
"You can still talk... Are you willing to communicate with us?"
Joshua can be sure that this is one of the gray fog consciousnesses living in the World Tree. The hatred and anger that Joshua fought against in the past were both of the type that could not be communicated.
"Out of curiosity, no matter who you are... stepping into my territory will end up with only death. Before I die, I allow you to tell me your name."
His voice was full of pride and contempt, and he did not regard the group of square people in front of him as any dangerous enemy.
"Well, then you remember it, our name is the player... You can also understand it as your doomsday."
After Joshua realized that the other party had planned to make his character into a ration, he did not intend to continue being polite, and directly switched the diamond pickaxe in his hand to a diamond sword.
"Humble creature! You have no idea of my power..."
As soon as the humanoid voice made of roots fell, it was cut into pieces by Steve who swarmed up.
"Why do I feel a little impatient?"
Ciri adjusted the angle of view and looked at the scattered roots on the ground. The gray mist attached to the roots was still squirming, trying to get into the soil and escape.
"These are just part of the gray fog. Carolie, you guys continue to dig into the ground, and I'll plan a new hunting event."
Joshua quit Minecraft, an underground passage that sends real-world soldiers to Grey Mist's base camp.
But if you want to completely eliminate the consciousness extended by the gray fog, you also need to go deep into the consciousness space of the World Tree to kill them.
Soldiers who have disputes in the real world will deal with it, and of course the consciousness space must be handed over to the players who are in the cracks of the world.
"New event? Is the level cap of World Rift finally going to be raised?" Caroline asked.
Qiao Xiu was already planning to increase the level cap of the world rift and open a new map half a month ago.
"Well, the new version... It will take some time to adjust." Joshua nodded, and then looked at the busy dwarf miners behind him, "I hope the gray fog can be eliminated after this update, so that I can Happy fishing."
…
Demon world.
It has been almost half a month since Ai Bo came here.
As Joshua said, the people in the demon world didn't do anything to hurt her, but they didn't give her enough freedom.
Ai Bo's life is limited to a manor, and when she wants to leave the manor, she will be stopped by a group of people called monitors.
This feeling of being monitored makes Ai Bo feel very strange. The duties of the monitor of the demon world are somewhat similar to that of the inspector of Heibei City, except that she has changed her identity in the demon world.
As for the reason why Apple didn't forcibly leave this manor... it was because Lietta liked it very much.
She has a special person to take care of her food and clothing in this manor, and there is a thing called a TV in the manor.
It will broadcast the situation of some unknown cities. Ai Bo thinks a program called "Tom and Jerry" is quite interesting.
Today, Ai Bo was sitting in the living room quietly watching Lietta working hard to clear Contra.
The gate of the manor was also pushed open at this moment.
She stood up immediately before she was ready to meet the enemy. One of the rulers of the demon world... was also in the hall where her new guardian, Sehiri, came.
"I already told you that as long as Lietta is here, I won't escape, please don't disturb us again."
In the past two weeks, Ai Bo has learned to compromise, including her learning to use honorifics. Even so, Ai Bo still does not want the leader of the monitor to come to "visit the prison" often.
This made her feel uncomfortable that she had been under surveillance.
"I don't doubt that you are going to escape, Ai Bo... I just want to come and talk to you."
Cecily naturally found a chair and sat down.
"see me?"
Ai Bo cautiously looked at the woman in front of him, this woman inexplicably reminded Ai Bo of his second elder brother, but compared to the frivolousness of that elder brother, Cecily seemed much calmer and more composed.
"Sit down and talk." Cecily pointed to the chair beside Apple and said.
"I've already said all the information I can tell you, and it's no use seeing me again..."
Ai Bo slowly sat on the chair. She looked at Cecily face to face, and always felt that the second princess looked at her strangely.
"It has nothing to do with the information on the gray fog, it's just... something about us." Cecily pondered for a long time before saying this sentence.
"We? I don't consider you a friend."
Apple didn't agree with Sehili's self-proclaimed way, she had been staying at the manor as a prisoner.
"No, you're one of our members, at least not in the past, and..." Cecily took out an old book and showed it to Apple. "You... should have married into our family." ."
