There are many mountains and forests in the south, and there are also many mosquitoes.
Mountain mosquitoes, in particular, are black and big. Many people from the north used to joke that five mosquitoes here can cook a plate of meat.
Of course, this is an exaggeration.
These things are also very vicious. As long as they find an animal that can suck blood, they will pounce on it without hesitation, and if it bites them, they will suck it hard.
One big red pimple in one bite.
The 'Huixianhe Park' is a newly developed park with the theme of landscape.
Mountains, forests and water... And there are more mosquitoes here.
But not a single mosquito could get close to Roland's body. They flew over, but were blocked by an invisible force.
Putting the shared bicycle outside the park, Roland walked up the mountain along the newly paved cement ring path that was less than a month old.
Because it is an unfinished project, the facilities here have not been built yet, and there is no electricity. Naturally, no one comes here for a walk in the evening.
Roland just liked the tranquility here.
There should be many people coming here in the future, but at that time, Roland is not afraid, he will definitely be able to use teleportation.
There is no entrance to the underground base. I teleport directly from home. Who can find me
After walking for about ten minutes, Roland came to a place with many trees and lush branches and leaves. This is halfway up the mountain. People at the bottom of the mountain cannot see here. Their sight is blocked by numerous branches and leaves. Similarly, the sky is also blocked by leaves.
And there was no one around.
It stands to reason that this should be a good place to dig holes and build a secret base.
But Roland still walked into the forest, and this time he specifically picked the place with the highest grass and got in.
After all, children who grew up in the city have no idea of the horrors of wild mountains and forests. Even though there are no ferocious carnivorous wild animals in most places now, places like mountains and forests are still not suitable for humans to walk if there are no good roads. of.
He got into the grass and didn't go far before he was cut on his hands and face by the jagged miscanthus.
Tiny red marks appeared on the back of the hands, and the face was itchy.
After walking about a hundred meters into the deep grass, he stopped. There was a high mountain wall in front of him.
Subconsciously I wiped my face and looked around.
It is already very safe here. Even if someone passes by occasionally, they will never see anything here, or even see anyone here. After all, the weeds here grow extremely tall.
Roland took a deep breath and began to use Turn Mud into Stone.
A skill that has been used hundreds of times in the game and is quite proficient, but here it seems a bit unfamiliar.
My brain tells myself that I have already mastered this magic, but... the speed and frequency of the magic in my body cannot keep up with the command of my brain.
Made several mistakes in a row.
The soil was dry all of a sudden, then wet, then dry, then wet.
One moment it's hard, the next moment it's muddy!
Roland's magic power was consumed a lot under such circumstances.
Fortunately... After failing more than ten times, Roland's spirit and magic power finally got used to this 'low-quality' body, and he began to be able to successfully cast the magic of turning mud into stone.
The mountain in front turned into a swamp and opened up around it. A cave sloping downward was gradually taking shape.
Roland controlled the mud to turn into a horizontal stone staircase.
He walked down the stone steps and at the same time activated his magic power to continue opening the stairs leading down.
Then he looked back and saw that the soil that had been turned over on the ground covered the entrance of the cave again and turned into rocks.
The passage suddenly darkened. Roland flicked his fingers and summoned a small ball of illuminating light. After getting the light, he continued to open the passage diagonally downwards.
The soil in front of them melted like water and turned into stone steps, and the passage slowly expanded forward.
Roland looked very excited.
This situation was not worth mentioning in the game, but in reality... it fascinated him.
This is not a game, not another world. It has no game system, no talent for magic control, and no extremely high level or character growth panel.
But he still did it.
Use your own power to summon magic and change the terrain.
After walking down for about ten minutes, he felt very tired.
I closed my eyes and estimated the amount of magic I had. I still had about half... No, I shouldn't be so tired.
You shouldn't be so dizzy and want to sleep.
My body should be in good shape, after all, I exercise every day.
Want sleep
Roland woke up suddenly, lacking air and oxygen.
I was careless and didn't take this into consideration.
Roland immediately turned back, used magic power to open the sealed hole, and rushed out immediately.
Breathing in big gulps of air, feeling that his head was gradually becoming unfit, Roland subconsciously patted his heart.
Damn it, if I had been a few minutes later, I would have passed out.
"So, does oxygen have to be taken into consideration?"
Roland sealed the entrance of the cave and waited until he was ready to come back next time.
He returned along the original path, and encountered a long insect with green and black rings on the way, slowly crawling in front of him, which frightened him and made his scalp numb.
I don’t know if this thing is poisonous.
"Personal safety must also be prepared."
Roland waited for a while and quickly walked out of the grass. In the process, the back of his hands and face were cut several more times by miscanthus.
Then go down the mountain and ride a bicycle home.
When I got home, the time was only around 20:45.
He took a bath for himself. During the process, the warm water touched the wound, which was oxygenated and painful, making him very uncomfortable.
Finally I applied some anti-itching lotion and it got better.
Then I went to the shopping website and ordered five small oxygen bottles, about one liter in volume. The seller said that each bottle is enough for a normal adult male to breathe for about three hours.
enough.
The use of oxygen bottles is only for emergency use, and an air circulation system must be built in the underground base.
This would have been a difficult thing to do.
But with magic, things become simple.
After Roland entered the game, he found the light magic of 'Sunshine' and optimized its nodes to reduce the range of light, reduce the amount of magic power, and increase the duration.
This magic took him three days.
It took him another day to modify the mage's hand.
Then the real-life oxygen cylinder was also sent to my home.
On this day, he climbed out of the virtual cabin, washed up, and began to prepare.
First, I bought two large bottles of mineral water and some salty crackers at the small shopping department in the community, and put these things into my backpack.
By the way, five small oxygen bottles were also packed in.
He asked his father for the keys to the SUV again, saying that he would be traveling out of town all day and would probably come back in the evening.
The parents didn't say anything.
When my son is older, it is normal for him to go out for a walk.
Throwing his backpack into the trunk of the car, Roland did not rush to the secret base. Instead, he took a detour to the flower market, bought two pots of pothos and threw them in the trunk, and then drove there for a while. Xianhe Park.
It is normal working hours now, and there is still no one within a kilometer of Huixian River. Even if there are construction workers, they are still far away. They will not come to such a place where the road has been paved.
Roland put on his backpack, hugged two pots of pothos, and walked along the concrete path to the top of the mountain.
Arriving near the secret base, Roland stopped deliberately and checked the surroundings. After confirming that no one was nearby, he walked towards the secret base.
This time, four small mage hands opened the way, two helped push aside the dense mountain grass, and the other two were pounding the ground in front.
This is to alert the snake in the grass, lest you step on it and be bitten back.
After being prepared, Roland came to the mountain wall this time without being cut by the miscanthus.
Fossils become mud!
The mountain walls parted, and a dark passage appeared. Roland walked in, and the rock wall behind him automatically closed under his control.
The lighting ball lights up.
Roland put down his backpack, found the oxygen bottle, opened the lid, and after the oxygen spurted out, Roland's two mage hands carried the backpack, and the other two carried two pots of pothos, following him.
When everything was ready, Roland rolled up his sleeves, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
The great work of digging holes continues.
The pit continued downward, and Roland calmly used fossils as mud magic while paying attention to his mana level.
After about an hour, he estimated that he had dug to the bottom of the center of the mountain, and stopped.
This depth is probably about the same.
It should be about a hundred meters above the ground.
He began to expand the width of the cave... Of course, he was not stupid. In order to prevent the mountain from collapsing, he would erect a load-bearing pillar every time the cave expanded to a certain extent.
Then he felt a little tired.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was around 13:00 noon.
The magic power was almost exhausted. He sat on the smooth rock floor and looked at the 20X30X4 square space with a satisfied expression.
"This is Roland's secret base. No one else knows about it except me, and no one else can come in."
Roland opened his hands and raised them up, laughing.
Men remain young men until they die, and young men long to have their own secret base.
Then he opened his backpack, took out mineral water and biscuits, and ate them.
It was very quiet here, quite quiet. Roland felt a special sense of tranquility in his soul when he was there.
Because he knows that it is safe and private here. No matter what he does here, no one will know.
Most people will never find this kind of small space that is entirely their own.
After eating dry food and water, he used transformation magic twice on himself, replenishing about one-third of his magic power.
He then used the Sunlight Magic.
A golden ball of light appeared in this space instead of the lighting technique, illuminating every inch of space here.
Then he placed two pots of pothos in the corner and sprinkled them with mineral water.
Sun, water, plants!
This completes the three elements of air circulation.
Roland knew that two pots of pothos were not enough to generate the air a normal man needed.
It doesn't matter. Every time you come, bring two pots of green plants with strong longevity. It won't take long before the number of potted plants is enough.
"This wall was then hollowed out to create a four-tier potting shelf."
Roland smiled, his eyes sparkling.
