Chapter 206 Dangerous Signals

There are authenticity, why do demon soldiers appear on the surface?

Feng Xue was a little confused about this question for a while, but since he guessed that there was something underground, he naturally would not let it go.

After confirming that the invisible talisman on his body was indeed playing a role, Feng Xue took another picture of the ground-exit talisman for himself.

A wonderful force wrapped his body, and after touching this force, the originally solid land seemed to turn into a slightly viscous liquid.

They do not flow and do not line up around them. If you want to describe this strange state, it is like land and Feng Xue entering the mirror space of the same coordinate point at the same time.

The two share the same coordinate, but they will not meet each other.

Feng Xue quietly merged into the land, and then slowly sank under the power of her spiritual consciousness.

Two seconds, just two seconds later, Feng Xue noticed something was wrong, because he found that the soil layer below three meters seemed to have been deliberately compacted.

"Sure enough, there is a 'people' digging the tunnel." Feng Xue said in her heart, and continued to dive. After about five seconds, he suddenly felt empty under his feet.

There is no doubt that the following is empty.

After confirming the effect of the invisible talisman again, Feng Xue turned around and leaned out with her head facing down.

The originally dark field of vision was suddenly lit up, and a tunnel about three meters wide entered the eyes. There were quietly burning torches on both sides of the tunnel. Although it could not be said to be brightly lit, at least the field of vision was unobstructed.

After looking in private, no traces of creatures were found. Feng Xue then used force to swim along the tunnel wall to a position parallel to the tunnel, and then she got out of the wall.

There was no sound in the whole process, but Feng Xue was still worried about scanning left and right. After listening before, it naturally showed that something was passing by her feet, so there must be something nearby!

As he slowly moved forward against the wall, a whisper of beasts began to appear in Feng Xue's ears. However, no matter what language it was from the demon clan, Feng Xue's ears, which had 100 languages, would automatically translate them into the content they should have.

"...Go, I'm really suffocating."

"Be content, you're a little bored, at least safe."

"Safe【beep--】!"

Perhaps it is easy to produce echoes in the tunnel, so the conversation between the two voices seems to be surprisingly quiet. Feng Xue can tell the details carefully and can only hear a few words.

After walking up a few steps in the direction of the sound, I saw two beasts standing up standing complaining while carrying a basket, the head of the wild boar on the left, and the dog on the right... Well, it should be a wolf's head.

After hearing the words of both, Feng Xue realized that the air in the tunnel was indeed a bit stuffy.

But it is just stuffy, not turbid, and there is no problem with the torches on both sides burning, which means that this tunnel has a vent design.

"This is interesting." Feng Xue frowned. She really didn't understand what kind of mentality it was to dig such a tunnel with a high technical content no more than 100 miles away from Huacheng.

Following two demon soldiers carrying baskets, Feng Xue took a look into the basket, facing stones of all sizes, but it seemed to be different from normal stones.

"After an engineering appraisal!"

【Successful engineering)】

[Your excellent knowledge determines that this box is full of metal ores.]

"Ore?" Feng Xue's pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong sense of tremor surged into her heart.

The demon soldiers are collecting ore, which is not a good sign.

Consciously collecting ore means that the ore is useful in their eyes. It is not the point of forging weapons or anything else. The point is that this means that the leader of this group of demon soldiers is a demon/person who knows how to forge.

Some people may wonder that monsters also have intelligence. Even before the human race was born, they were able to refine magic weapons. Even if the ancient techniques have been lost now, many demon races have been mingled in human cities. What's so strange about how they can forge them?

Yes, it is not uncommon to forge, but it is uncommon to collect ore in large quantities.

There are mines in Fuyu Mountain in the east and west, with mines open in the open, and even exaggerated to the point where the plants and trees do not grow. The distance is about four or five hundred miles. Now, in order to transport ore, these demon soldiers have dug up an underground tunnel (or more) hundreds of miles, naturally, not just for a few frames of ore.

That is to say.

The other party is hoarding ore.

No matter what, once the word "large" is involved, the nature will be completely different.

If you hold a controlled knives and go to the subway, it will be criticized and educated at most, and confiscated the knives, but if you carry a large number of controlled knives... Well, you can explain it to the police first.

Similarly, if you just pick up a few stones and practice a knife, you naturally don’t have to pay attention to it, but if you do so with such a big fanfare, you have to wonder what these ores will eventually become.

And this is not the most terrifying thing.

Because the most terrifying thing is that with so many ores, there are naturally enough craftsmen to use them.

As mentioned before, it is not an incredible thing for a big monster to forge, but a big monster obviously cannot use so many ores.

Moreover, during the previous preparations, Feng Xue sent people to explore the remaining barbarian tribes around several times, and they did not move any abnormalities.

So, either at the end of the tunnel is a group of monsters who love to make blacksmiths organizing exchanges and learning seminars, or the other party has the skills to cultivate demon soldiers into blacksmiths.

A group of monsters exchanged their experiences of blacksmithing, and it was clear that it was unlikely that this era would happen, but the demon soldiers and blacksmiths were even worse than the conclusions of a group of monsters.

Why?

Because demon soldiers have low intelligence, it is well known that they find it difficult to undertake technical tasks. At best, they can patrol mountains and run around, and they can only steam when cooking, let alone make irons.

Therefore, the traditional usage of demon soldiers is mostly to assume the role of guard of honor, war cannon fodder and coolie. In the demon social system, it is the lowest level that is worse than the barbarians and half-demons.

But now, this lowest class seems to have the possibility of being promoted from cannon fodder to craftsman. Even if it is just the lowest craftsman, it will have a very bad impact on the entire human environment.

Why can the human race defeat the demon race after the Lich War? The most fundamental reason is that the true core members of the demon race are born slowly. Compared with each human race who is born with wisdom, the demon race needs to go through two stages of enlightenment and transformation to reach the wisdom realm, and this probability is simply in a thousand. After enlightenment, various steps are still required to obtain sufficiently sophisticated hands, which undoubtedly makes the demon race far behind the human race's speed of climbing the science and technology tree.
