"Disasters will continue to occur, so cities will continue to 'grow' upwards, eventually forming what is known as 'cities upon cities'."
"Classic examples can be found by searching for 'Kaifeng' and ' Basilica of Saint Clement.' Of course, there are also more modern examples, such as Seattle, which once used a similar method to raise the city's elevation to solve flooding, but it turned out to be not very effective..."
After the [ Retreat Drum Player ] finished speaking, [ Elderly and Children Fly First ] was completely stunned:
"Are you majoring in this?"
"No."
"You conduct research in this area?"
"Obviously not."
"So what are you doing...?"
"I just happened to watch a documentary about it recently, and I felt really uncomfortable not to pretend..."
"And I actually listened attentively for so long..."
"What I said is all true, and you won't regret listening to it. Besides... don't you think the current situation is very similar to urban subsidence? The original Klaf City was destroyed in a great war and then buried by dust over decades, eventually forming this relatively flat area."
"I understand now. Just say that this place is similar to Ancient City of Pompeii, okay?"
"That really is..."
The [ Retreat Drum Player ] only then realized this was an obviously more well-known example.
"So what do we do now? Keep digging?"
"It's not that simple. We don't know what's going on below... Have you ever heard the saying, 'Dry for a thousand years, wet for ten thousand years, neither dry nor wet for half a year'...?"
"That's something from tomb raiding novels, isn't it?"
[ Elderly and Children Fly First ] he recalled and said.
"What does this have to do with the present?"
"Of course they're related."
[ The Retreat Drum Player ] explains seriously:
According to the information Luoli Adelaide provided in the encyclopedia, there were no survivors in Klaf City before that battle.
"Think about it, a dead city with no living people, which suffered a great war that could destroy it, plus the random effects of the most chaotic Wilderness of Chaos in the World of Disorder that sank it underground, and decades have passed. Who knows what's going on inside? Maybe Klaf City has already connected to the underground river, and if they open a hole, water will gush out..."
"You can do that?"
The idea of Elderly and Children Fly First was shocking.
"No wonder you said something about 'half a year without getting wet or dry,' turns out we really came here to dig up graves!"
"What kind of event is this? Are we all going to raid tombs together?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the three teams immediately fell into deep thought.
Grave robbing is an illegal act in which a group of people enter the resting place of a person who was highly respected in life.
They are too.
Tomb raiders need to find the entrance to the tomb.
They are too.
Grave robbers need to take the valuable items inside.
They are too.
Grave robbers must be wary of the tomb owner rising from the dead.
They are also...
After some internal discussion, the group was surprised to find that as long as they replaced the so-called "seal" with a "grave," their actions didn't seem out of place at all, so they really were tomb raiding.
However, compared to typical tomb raiding, they were clearly more interested in the tomb owner than in the burial goods.
"Hmm, you know what, you really shouldn't say..."
[ Howling Pothos ] sighed, then suddenly heard [ Easily Soluble in Water ] beside her start muttering to herself:
"To find the dragon vein and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains..."
[ Zhongde ] stepped forward and patted him on the head:
"Are you crazy? This is a foreign ancient tomb."
"I don't know the foreign language version either."
[ Easily Soluble in Water ] He covered his head.
"I didn't expect you to know..."
[ Zhongde ] pointed around with an expression of utter disbelief, as if he were looking at an idiot:
"I won't even mention anything else. All we can see right now is flat land; there are no mountains, no rivers, and the sun doesn't even necessarily rise in the east and set in the west. Even if you recite the mantra to death, it won't help..."
Upon hearing these words, everyone looked around.
Indeed, the group found themselves in a large, unusual open space. The ground was only slightly undulating, far from being hilly, and there was nothing around them, not even any Blood Corpse.
There weren't even any Blood Corpse?
After observing the surrounding crowd, everyone noticed this fact as well.
As the first echelon charging ahead, the group constantly encountered Blood Corpse along the way.
Fortunately, the Aberration Hoofed Beast Cultivation Ed were indeed fast runners, and even with a slight overload, they were still able to shake off the Blood Corpse, thus preventing the group from falling into the quagmire of the Blood Corpse ' piecemeal tactics.
They had been doing this all along, until about ten minutes ago when they entered this area, and it seemed that they really hadn't seen a single Blood Corpse since.
After being reminded of this, everyone suddenly remembered this fact.
As a unique product of the now-lost seal on the Wilderness of Chaos, and as an ancient battlefield from seventy or eighty years ago, it's impossible that there isn't a single Blood Corpse alive here.
Even if the Blood Corpse at that time were killed or buried by those two Short-Eared Elf, the surrounding Blood Corpse would slowly spread after they revived.
Thinking of this, [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] said excitedly:
"Since we haven't seen a single Blood Corpse, there's only one possibility!"
As he spoke, he glanced definitively at the empty sky, then pointed to the ground:
"The Grand Duke can control the Blood Corpse. The Grand Duke needs to be unsealed and freed. The Grand Duke is underground, and those Blood Corpse must be underground as well."
[ Zhongde ] slammed his right fist into his left hand, and suddenly realized:
"That makes sense! So there are no Blood Corpse Blood Corpse here because after they revive, they only dig downwards to find their ancestors, instead of digging to the surface to find people to eat."
[ Elderly and Children Fly First ] Nodding approvingly:
"Then how do we get down?"
"Of course, we should dig."
[ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] immediately replied, but was instantly refuted by the other party:
"How should we dig? You dig or I should?"
"Why don't we all dig together? What's wrong with that?"
"Of course not!"
The expression on his face turned serious: [ Elderly and Children Fly First ]
Do you know how difficult it is to dig a hole?
"In the real world, many cases of burial bodies are exposed because the pits weren't dug deep enough, and the deeper the pit, the harder it is to dig."
Seeing that the club leader was also starting to show off, [ Howling Pothos ] quickly interrupted him:
"Alright, alright, everyone knows you're very experienced in murder and burying bodies, so just tell me your method."
The [ Elderly and Children Fly First ] spellcaster, whose spellcasting had been interrupted, was a little annoyed. He snorted and said:
"Simple. We'll leave this area, lure dozens or hundreds of Blood Corpse over, and then draw their aggro away."
"If their ancestors are truly calling from below, how could we not hear them?"
"Once the Blood Corpse lose their hatred, they'll start digging. Then we'll just follow behind."
"Once they've dug through, we'll crawl inside and see what the Grand Duke looks like!"
