Chapter 700 (1/2)
”Whoo!” Gray brown fog slowly dissipated from his eyes. After flying more than half a distance over the deep trench, Gilliam saw the black hole on the back of the giant eagle.
From this distance, it looks like a pocket sized black hole.
The old dwarf stood up from the changing eagle's back, and the blood in his heart was boiling, which made him a little impatient. He jumped lightly from the back of the giant eagle, though there was still a distance, but for the legendary warrior, his jumping skill was enough to throw himself into the hole that looked only the size of a pocket.
Feeling the old dwarf jump away, illistin did not hesitate to turn around and fly away. She believed in the strength of the dwarfs.
Seeing the eagle disappear into the fog again, gillim turned around and began to look at the tunnel in front of him.
There are some large pieces of mineral gravels scattered in the tunnel entrance. Two half buried tracks extend out of the tunnel entrance and fall towards the bottom of the cliff. The ends are twisted and broken, as if they were torn by a huge force.
Perhaps it's the track that stretches out of the pothole that made him discover something unusual here.
About a few meters away from the pit crossing, there is a tattered mineral car dumping. The surface of the mineral car is covered with a thick layer of dust, which looks gray and inconspicuous.
The old dwarf felt a piece of linen cloth for wiping sweat from his arms and went up to wipe the dust off the side wall of the mining car. The yellow brown rust grows on the surface of the mineral car like a wild flower. One of its four wheels is missing, and the other three are rusty.
Gilliam wiped a little harder, and he pushed a hole in the side wall of the mine car. After a long time, this mineral car has completely rotted.
The old dwarf stared at the ”bubbling beer cup” sign on the mineral car, the Kingdom badge of the Warhammer family. His sharp eyes slowly blurred, flashing tears.
Hundreds of years! When he fled the silver hall in panic, he was a beardless dwarf child. After the hard struggle in ice wind Valley and many cold and hungry nights, he finally returned to his parents' home in his lifetime!
”We will certainly take back the secret silver hall!” With a double-edged axe in his hands, Gilliam roared at the dark pit, as if he had all the feelings he had repressed in his heart for hundreds of years.
The roar echoed in the distance along the dark tunnel. The old dwarf, with a resolute face, was waiting for the battle axe in his hand. However, there seems to be no imaginary danger in the tunnel. After a while, nothing jumped out to let him vent.
One by one, the members of the exploration team were picked up by elistine. Except for the three beauties of the Apostle and elistine, every dwarf who came back here was full of feelings and bitterness that only they could understand.
The apostles were surprised to find that a firm and tragic momentum spread among the dwarves. They have no doubt that if any underground creatures come out now, they will be torn to pieces by these dwarfs.
The dwarfs walked silently towards the deep part of the cave, without moving anything in the cave.
In fact, even the dwarves' predecessors hundreds of years ago could not have imagined that the abandoned harvester left at the mine entrance had become a flag in the battle of the shield dwarves to recover the secret silver hall in the future.
Later, every shield dwarf who arrived at the pit from the outpost camp saw the historic mining car and engraved the same oath in his heart. Do you want to recover the secret silver hall? Do you want to die here? There is no third option.
As a member of the exploration team, Gilliam and others have the final duty to explore here, find the main road of the mine, and then report to the headquarters of the shield dwarfs.
Hill and Rand follow the team to dig deeper into the cave. They find that the cave of dwarves is not the same as that seen in the earth movies.
The dwarfs did not use a large number of timbers and other supporting structures in the tunnel, and the tunnel was very zigzag and irregular. Hill even saw a stone pillar in the middle of the road, which was like a twist vine.
They couldn't imagine how the twisted stone pillar, with an inclination of almost 30 degrees, supported the top of the mine.
Curious, a dwarf beside hill proudly told him. Dwarfs are born to be able to recognize the rock structure from the texture of underground rock strata. They cut down the pillars like this along the texture of the rock.
It's like stacking blocks. Sometimes the blocks that seem to be stacked together in a crooked way are actually very stable and can support the huge pressure and load on the top.
Dwarves in mining, will never destroy the important support points. Only in some sections where there is a lack of emphasis, can they use auxiliary wooden pillars. Although it is difficult to transport ore in curved tunnels, the railway tracks and mineral cars paved on the ground have largely solved this problem.
The cave that dwarfs dig is rarely collapsed, which is their inborn talent.
