Chapter 216 Collapse
In order to avoid intermarriage of close relatives, the dwarves have always had the custom of exchanging relatives in different places. Many daughters-in-law of the southern lineage are exchanged with girls from other mine divisions.
Many women were forced to be exchanged to the south. They didn't like their husbands. If they saw the mine collapsed and buried men in it, their first thought would definitely not be to save people, but to bring them back as soon as possible. Fleeing back to their own group with their children, even those who don't even want to take their children are excluded.
The dwarf boy that Miao Sheng has become now is named West Asia. His mother is from the miner branch in the north. Although the dwarves there have a lot of contact with humans, they have always lived on an equal footing. Attitude, the relationship between husband and wife is also very bad.
West Asia’s father often abused his wife. This behavior is very common in the south. When he was a child, he was brought up by his mother. He had a good relationship with his mother. He would stop him when he saw his father’s domestic violence.
After being 11 years old, he was taken by his father to teach him for more than a year. The brutal blood of the father was awakened, and he began to alienate his mother.
Today is the day when West Asia was brought to see the blood by his father. Only by breaking through this offline can he adapt to the blood in the future.
Miao Sheng doesn't like blood, but he is a very bloody person. The basis of his respect for life is that the other party also respects the lives of him and his companions.
He will not do things that endanger other people's lives for his own self-interest, but as long as someone dares to endanger his own side, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
Miao Sheng can't be regarded as a completely good person, because when it's time to raise the butcher's knife, he will never be soft-hearted.
As a certain general said, we kill in exchange for the peace of more people.
[What's the trouble with this? As a human being, you have the responsibility to protect your own race. If you see other races killing and abusing your own race, but turn a blind eye like a softie, that's a crime, right? 】Taoyao doesn't quite understand Miao Sheng's entanglement.
In its view, as long as a certain creature picks up a knife and intends to pave its own way by killing, it must consciously break away from a peaceful life and be mentally prepared to be killed by others at any time.
Because he is not the only one who can pick up a knife. Now that he has entered the bloody battlefield, he should not complain about killing or being killed, because this is the path he chose, and the path of practice is full of battles, life and death.
[Don't hesitate when it's time to counsel, and stand up when it's time to fight. As a monk, if you worry too much, just wait to be swept away by the big waves. 】Taoyao taught Miao Sheng and Qingtuan as someone who had experienced it. From her point of view, the two little guys were very young and knew nothing about the cruelty of the monk world.
[Is it time to coax like you pretending to be a street tree? 】 Miao Sheng couldn't help complaining.
If he hadn't been able to sense Taoyao's soul fluctuations, he really couldn't find it from a pile of trees in the park at that time, and it became too similar.
[Why, do you look down on street trees?You can't change it if you want to. 】Taoyao felt that Miao Sheng's observation skills needed to be improved, and she didn't see the details of her transformation at all.
Not only did it become the same species as the surrounding ones, but it also deliberately twisted the trunk, even if it was three otters with big demon front teeth? ?I won't even think about chewing on it.
Qingtuan and Jinzi were so amused by their two partners that they couldn't help laughing, and they didn't forget to remind Miao Sheng that there was a dwarf coming from the opposite side.
Miao Sheng immediately adjusted his state, and put on the usual look of contempt in West Asia.
His father is the third in command of the southern miner branch, and is also a popular candidate to take over the position of leader. As his only son, Xi Ya is usually very proud.
He himself is also the genius with the fastest cultivation speed among his peers. For more than a year, he has been taught by his father to look ahead with his nostrils when walking.
The few strong dwarves who came towards him didn't think there was anything wrong with West Asia's behavior. Seeing the blood-stained whip in his hand, they even praised him a few words.
Miao Sheng heard that they praised a child for being brave by beating someone with a whip, and he was so angry that he didn't bury all these guys tonight, and his name was written upside down from then on.
Miao Sheng walked all the way from the mine to the residential area, and sensed the entire underground space. I have to say that the miner branch is indeed a master of mining veins. The internal structure of this mine is extremely delicately designed.
Only a small part close to the surface uses hydraulic props to support the roof of the cave, which are used to fool the past government and some media.
In the deepest part, the structure of the underground itself is fully used to form the pillars, and an underground space beyond imagination is built.
Miao Sheng marked several of the most important support points. As long as these places are destroyed, the underground space will collapse because it cannot bear the weight above.
As long as all the mature men of the miner family are buried, even if the loss is not serious, they will be immobilized for a short time.
For the human beings on the surface, and the women and children living in the deeper underground, they can all be liberated.
After finishing the manuscript, Miao Sheng stopped wandering outside. He went directly to the deeper residential area. There were too many innocent women and children there. If he was implicated in the collapse, his crime would be serious. Only among them can they provide protection at any time.
The underground world is not dark, it is covered with moss that can emit light, and there are also rivers and lakes, and there are also luminous aquatic plants and small animals in the water. The colorful light makes the underground world look like a fairy tale kingdom.
Tao Yao was amazed when she saw it, and she said that she never knew there were so many beautiful plants underground, so she asked Miao Sheng to collect some of each, and she would go back to cultivate them.
Miao Sheng let it die. These glowing mosses are also energy creatures, and they cannot live without magic energy.
It and the Qingtuan were protected by Miao Sheng's body protection spiritual consciousness, but they didn't know that as they went deeper underground, the demonic energy had gradually become stronger.
The two were taken aback, and quickly asked Miao Sheng how he was feeling.
Miao Sheng reassured them that the previous devil energy adaptation training was not for nothing.
What's more, he also has the blood of the demon clan, and it is also the blood passed down from the peak period of the demon ancestor's cultivation.
[So, you are an interstellar cooperation project, a joint species of Earth and Venus. ] Qingtuan giggled at this thought.
[Yeah, why didn't I think of this question before. 】Miao Sheng also finds it very funny, he always says that others are strange, but he is the strangest one, 【Fortunately, the appearance of the Shura tribe is similar to that of human beings, otherwise I don’t know what I look like. 】
[The Shura tribe only has the head and facial features similar to humans, while the torso is thicker and thicker. The skin is covered with fine and tough scales, which can keep warm and resist blows. The overall physical fitness is at least ten times that of humans. 】Taoyao counts the differences between the Shura tribe and human beings in detail. From her point of view, the difference between the two is still very big.
When the monster race has cultivated to a certain level, they can change their form to increase their combat power. In fact, their own physical strength can no longer keep up with the strength of stronger races, so they will change into the same form as stronger races, so that Master more fighting skills.
From the human point of view, when the monster race grows into a big monster, they will turn into human beings. In fact, many monster races incarnate in the form of the Shura clan with a stronger physical body, but humans can't tell the difference.
[In this comparison, human beings really don't look like earth species. 】Miao Sheng compared the difference between the earth's native intelligent species and human beings, and couldn't help sighing.
【Why do you say that? ] Qing Tuan asked curiously.
Humans obviously live very well on the earth. Many years ago, they were the overlords of the surface, and they ran many creatures to extinction. Why are they not like earth species?
[The bodies of all creatures on the earth are designed to keep warm. Even the dwarves living in the warm underground have thick hair. Animals like cats and dogs only have tongues and soles to dissipate heat.
From the perspective of the earth's geology and climate history, the body structure that favors heat preservation is the most reasonable.
Because the Earth's warm periods are few and far between, most of the time is a big ice age surrounded by a small ice age.
The reason why it looks warmer now is because it is in the middle of the two small ice ages within the big ice age, which is called the interglacial period.
But the warm time like now will not last long, and the cold is the main theme, so all the creatures on the earth put heat preservation in the first place.
But look at human beings, our whole body can dissipate heat, just like a heat sink, where does the earth get so much heat to dissipate, if the equipment can't keep up, we can't survive even the smallest ice age.
There is also external defense, don't you think ordinary humans are incredibly weak?There are so many disasters on the earth, and human beings have no hair, scales, or armor. How did they survive so many disasters in history with this kind of skin that breaks at the first touch? It doesn't conform to the law of evolution at all, okay?
Otherwise, how could the old man's theory of evolution turn over when encountering human beings? We are not earth species at all.
In the past, Venus must have a stable geological environment and a warm and pleasant climate, so that crispy creatures like humans evolved. 】Miao Sheng counted the various conflicts between human beings and the earth, and could only sigh.
Even if I know, so what, my hometown Venus has been destroyed, it is easy to destroy it, but I don’t know how many years will be until I want to restore it to its original state.
【Wow, you don’t think it’s not easy for human beings to survive on the earth. 】The Youth League has never thought about the problems that human beings have to face while living on the earth. Just listening to Miao Sheng’s general introduction, you can find several fatal problems. There must be more details. Human beings are so pitiful.
The partners observed the terrain while chatting. The underground space was so large that it was beyond imagination. The artificial excavation combined with the naturally formed underground caves made the structure very complex.
Miao Sheng walked at the normal speed of a dwarf boy. After passing through the mine and going underground for a certain distance, he returned to the residential area near evening.
This place is built from a cave naturally formed underground. The houses are all low and low stone holes. Looking down from the passage, it looks like a sand table toy.
After pushing away from the room of Xi Ya's house, he saw his mother sitting on a chair wiping tears with a letter in her hand.
She obviously didn't expect her son to come home so early. She put away the letter in a panic and wiped away her tears. She rubbed her thin and long hands nervously back and forth on the apron, forced a smile, and asked Miao Sheng what happened. came back.
The outer walls of dwarven buildings have the function of blocking spiritual consciousness, but indoor spiritual consciousness is not restricted. When Miao Sheng walked into the door, he saw the content of the letter clearly, and said to himself that fortunately he replaced Xi Ya , otherwise she will be beaten half to death tonight.
Although this woman also has a bulbous nose and out-of-control huge round eyes, these two facial features look more harmonious on her face, and even have a cute feeling of a cartoon character. Coupled with the fact that the body is not bulky, the whole looks like an exaggerated hand-made doll.
Her appearance should be regarded as a beauty among the dwarves, so someone in her hometown waited for her to go back without changing her mind. It seemed that she missed that person very much, so she cried so sadly.
Since she didn't want to marry Xi'an's father, then why was she forced to marry here in the first place? Miao Sheng felt that this lady had a lot of stories.
He told himself in his heart that when the mine collapsed, he should focus on taking care of Xia's father, and letting him reincarnate would not prevent Xia's mother from turning to a happy life.
Giving her a brand new life should be regarded as compensation for killing her son.
When he followed her back to the northern mine division near the Baijin Strait, he disappeared with the excuse of going on an expedition.
After she and her beloved have a child of their own, I believe she will not want the eldest son with a rough personality to come home and teach his younger siblings badly.
Miao Sheng recalled West Asia's usual attitude towards his mother. It seemed that he didn't act excessively except for not protecting her when she was subjected to domestic violence. While he was relieved, he gave a reason to come back early at will, and returned to himself. The room went.
Sia's mother doesn't like darkness, she also planted a lot of bright moss in her son's room, this light is even a bit dazzling to the big eyes of the dwarves, and the moss should be covered with a cover at night, otherwise The light is too bright to sleep.
Although Miao Sheng is only similar in appearance after the change, his vision is no worse than that of the dwarves, and with his spiritual consciousness, he can see everything here even without eyes.
Sitting on a chair, he continued to sense the underground space and repeatedly calculated the best collapse plan. After a while, there was a knock on the door of the room. After Miao Sheng answered, the woman came in with a glass of milk-like drink.
"Drink some blind mouse milk before resting. I put some honeydew. Since I'm tired, I don't want to go up to the banquet with your father tonight." The woman's eyes dodged and she tried her best to pretend to be calm.
She looked at Miao Sheng with wariness, heartache, and guilt. Miao Sheng felt that if she was stimulated a little, she would collapse.
"I'm very tired and want to sleep." Miao Sheng picked up the stone cup as he spoke, seemingly drank the contents in one gulp, but poured it all into the space.
"Well, then go to sleep." Seeing Miao Sheng's gentle tone, the woman wanted to touch her son's head as before, raised her hand and put it down again, put away the cup with a forced smile and walked out.
[The drink in the cup is poisonous. ] Qingtuan's voice came slowly, some didn't want to believe that a mother would poison her child, but they understood why she would do so,
[It's not a strong poison, it will only make people sleepy and hallucinate. She did this because she was afraid that her son would see the contents of the letter with his spiritual sense and his life would be threatened.
Let his son sleep until tomorrow morning, and then use dreams to deny what really happened. Anyway, Xi Ya can't tell the truth from the fake, and he won't go into it with his personality. 】
[It's been a day. 】Miao Sheng and Tao Yao sighed at the same time, showing infinite sympathy for this lady.
So when you get married, you must keep your eyes open. The physical strength of women is much weaker than that of men.
Lying on the bed, Miao Sheng secretly transported soul energy to the important support point and set up a simple formation. As long as the mind moves, the formation will destroy the protective barrier of the support point, and then destroy it with the help of witchcraft.
During this period, Xi'an's mother came in twice and found that her son was sleeping soundly, so she felt relieved.
After dark, the humans were all driven back to the ground. Except for the dwarf men, only the human supervisor and the convoy who brought the slaves were left in the mine.
They all gathered in several spacious spaces connected underground, and started the carnival banquet held every night.
Originally, at the banquet, the dwarves would only eat and drink, and fight and compete. Since the chaos in the beautiful country and the miner's branch completely controlled the mine, there have been more entertainment items for watching performances.
The programs are all contributed by human supervisors, or in other words, only those who have two brushes and some performance skills will be selected as supervisors.
They pretended to be majestic in front of humans during the day, and turned into clowns in front of alien masters at night, doing various antics on the stage, which drew crazy laughter from the dwarves.
Miao Sheng is really going to explode now. Those guys who are greedy for life and fear of death are disgracing their own ancestors, but being a clown in front of other races is disgracing all human beings. Who can bear it.
He didn't want to bear it any longer, and directly detonated the protective barrier at the support point, and his spiritual sense guided the witch power to the support point, slightly changing the structure of the rock, and there was a tremor that was about to collapse from above.
This series of changes made the dwarves in the mine dumbfounded. There were several important support points around the place where the banquet was held. They watched the barrier burst with their own eyes, and then countless cracks appeared on the top of their heads. When it came time to try to escape, it was already too late, and a large amount of earth and rock fell down overwhelmingly.
Don't mention them at this time, even if the lord of the underworld is here, they are only dumbfounded. Human beings live on the surface, and they still suffer heavy casualties when they encounter earthquakes. Living underground, encountering landslides is almost like the sky falling, and they can survive. In addition to excellent strength, luck is also very important.
For example, West Asia's father was not lucky. Miao Sheng focused on him. His magical power of protection was disturbed, and he was immediately smashed flat by a huge rock.
The geological changes above quickly spread to the residential area. Xi Ya's mother rushed into the room, carried her son on her shoulders, and ran quickly to the underground lake in the central area.
There are many mothers who do the same action as her. If the child can't carry it at one time, she calls out loudly for the older children to follow her and run towards the lake together.
The underground lakes extend in all directions and are connected to many underground caves. The dwarves have prepared emergency supplies in many caves. When an earthquake occurs, they will jump into the water. Through the current, they can always find an uncollapsed cave to temporarily settle down.
Miao Sheng pretended to wake up after being thrown into the water by Xia Xi's mother. After feeling the ground trembling, she immediately pulled her mother to go deeper into the water.
The woman's originally panicked expression was warmed by her son's actions. She showed a long-lost warm smile and stroked her son's head, telling him not to go too deep. There was no crack in the residential area, so it should not reach this side.
As soon as her words fell, a pile of earth and rocks rushed into the residential area from the entrance of the passage. After the passage was blocked, a large cloud of dust was raised, and the vibration stopped.
Miao Sheng clicked his tongue a little, lamenting that the dwarves are really amazing, the underground fulcrum was almost completely destroyed, and the whole cave was only collapsed by more than half.
Except for a large amount of earth and rock rolling around along the opened passage to form a blockage, many spaces outside have regained their force balance.
Taoyao also sensed the situation above through the root system of the plant, and had to praise the dwarves.
Although the damage to the mine did not meet expectations, and even the number of dwarves eliminated did not reach the expected number, but it would take several months for them to get out of the collapsed area.
At that time, many women and children here had already run away, and such a big movement of the mine collapse would also attract the attention of human forces.
In the past, it was because of the powerful dwarves that humans would give up this important rare mineral. Now that the power of the dwarves has been damaged, there will definitely be big forces coming to grab the territory. Time to find a wife and children.
Withdrawing the induction to the top, Miao Sheng looked at all the women and children standing in the water around him. Although the vibration had stopped, no one left the water surface. He still looked up at the stone wall above with a solemn expression, ready to dive into the water at any time.
Sensing the trembling of a cub whose head was barely above the water, Miao Sheng lifted him out of the icy underground lake with one hand, sucked up the water on his body with the magic power wrapped in it, and then put it on his shoulder.
Xi Ya's actions reminded the people around him that many children were still soaking in the water. Adults and teenagers were not afraid of the chill, but the little ones couldn't bear it after a long time.
Just as Xi Ya's mother was about to praise her son's behavior, she suddenly screamed. The people around her were almost scared to death by her. After staring angrily, she realized that her eyes were fixed on the pendant on Miao Sheng's chest. Half of it has been split.
Miao Sheng's vigilance was raised to the highest in an instant. This pendant was taken off from Xi Ya's body, because all the teenagers who walked along the way would wear this thing. He only thought that everyone should have a sign, and he didn't want to attract too much attention It can also be hung around the neck, so there is no hidden effect.
But when he saw the woman's flustered expression filled with ecstasy, he let down his guard again. It must have nothing to do with West Asia if he could show such an expression, probably because he could tell from it that his husband was dead. What a joy to congratulate happy event.
Seeing the change in Xi Ya's blood relative card, many women also looked at the card on their child's chest, and then there were cries and wild laughter on the lake.
Miao Sheng glanced at a few women who were crying bitterly with his spiritual sense, and found that they were crying with joy and didn't know what to say.
How failed these dwarves in the south are when they are husbands, so that their wives will be so happy when they find out that they are dead.
