"Don't worry!" I deliberately said slowly at the shaman who was obviously more active than me: "Now you can start talking."

Hearing my permission, the shaman started to say, "I also know that this gate of heaven is the place where the gods are placed. This is the passage between them and the heavens and us. Also, our tribe is actually the servants of the gods in the past. Those gods had lived in our world for a while, but later they left for some reason. However, when the gods left, they left their servants here, and let us guard this place here to wait for their return."

"Did the gods leave here?"

"Yes, there are no gods in this world now. They have all returned to the gods." said the shaman.

I thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know when the gods left?"

After waiting for a while, the shaman said, "We don't know about the specific time, but there is a rough reference."

"Tell me, look."

"It is said that before the gods left, this forest was actually a grassland, but the gods said that after they left, we need protection here, so it turned it into a forest, which may be a reference."

Hearing the shaman's words, I quickly took out the communicator and contacted Hongyue. "Hongyue."

"What's the matter, Zi Ri?"

"Do you have plant-based players?"

"Yes! What do you want to ask about this?"

"We need plant players to go out and measure the age of the forest."

"Ah?" Hongyue didn't expect such a strange problem, but after hesitating for a moment, she spoke: "Okay, you guys wait, this is not too difficult."

The speed of Hongyue was very fast, and it started reporting in less than five minutes. "We have checked. The forest was formed about 800 to 1,000 years ago."

I nodded and said, "Okay. You guys are busy first, I will call you if I have something to do." After cutting off the communication, I looked at the shaman in front of me. "Your gods have been leaving for about a thousand years, and it may not be enough. This means that it is not too long."

"One thousand years?" The shamans were obviously surprised by this number. After all, the average lifespan of these natives was less than forty years. One thousand years was really a bit long for them.

"What else do you know besides this?"

"Well, I also know that the gods left some weapons here before they left."

"arms?"

"Yes, it is a weapon used by the gods, but it is buried in another place, and there are guards of the gods guarding at the entrance. Those guards do not listen to me, so we cannot enter either."

"Take us to see."

Driven by interests, this shaman has completely become a leader and directly led us to a passage on the side. However, before leaving, the shaman communicated with the chief. Now the natives here no longer dared to provoke us anymore, and I notified Womar outside and they came in and began to study this huge space gate.

A few people were left waiting to respond to Womar and the Rose and I entered the passage ahead with the shaman. As for the remaining golem guards, the shamans were given a big order to let them obey the commands of the players in our guild who were left behind.

After we arranged the matter here, we entered the passage on the wall.

There are many underground spaces in this tribe. Although the super large space in the center is very suitable for living, in fact, there is no indigenous place living in this place. They just set up stalls here to sell things, and pass by here, but they definitely do not live here. All stalls are placed on linen on the ground, which is the form of street stalls. They can be taken away at any time when needed.

The reason why such a huge space is not allowed to live in is actually because of the gods mentioned by the shamans. This place is the entrance to the gate of the heavens. Gods have to pass by here when they enter and exit. Of course, this is a legend that the natives have myths, but if we use the way of thinking of modern people, this situation can be understood. This portal is like our train station or airport. Then these natives are their slaves, servants or vassals to the gods. In fact, to put it bluntly, even pets are not as good as pets. At least we will give emotional care to pets, but the so-called gods are probably just using these natives as free labor.

You can imagine that would you be happy if those existences that are not even beggars for us, and those who are built up shacks in airports and trains to live here for a long time? Obviously not. So these natives are not allowed to live in this place. The place where they really live is the passages around this main cave.

There are many channels, and there are small channels connected to the large channels. Most of the channels are well-connected and rarely have dead ends, so they can be used as roads in cities, and they are three-dimensional. Some channels are like overpasses.

There are some small spaces that are sunken in these passages, each of which is not big. But it is very regular, and it is obvious that it is artificially dug. These spaces are the residences of the local natives. Compared with the ground, this residence is of course a little narrower, but it is very good for the indigenous people. These caves are all well ventilated, dry, without any insects, and no odor. In fact, this environment is actually not too uncomfortable except for a little narrower. Even modern people cannot live here, and it is even more perfect for these indigenous people.

We passed through a long passage and saw countless native natives. These ordinary natives were much thinner than the soldiers, but they were obviously healthier than those in Konoha's village. At least there should be no shortage of food here. After all, they can set up gathering points on the ground, which means they can harvest some food openly. In addition, there are many people, so they can go out to hunt, and they are not afraid of those monsters. Naturally, the food in this place must be relatively easy to solve. Of course, the food in this place cannot be compared with later generations. The food in this place is loose, which means that people will not starve to death. If there is enough food, it is impossible.

Under the leadership of the shaman, we passed the long passage smoothly. Some locations in this place are relatively narrow. However, one or two people can pass side by side. As long as the shaman takes the lead in front, local natives will take the initiative to give way when they see it, which greatly increases our movement speed.

After passing through the long group of passages, I thought I would arrive at the so-called warehouse, but I found that what we arrived at was a large underground rift valley. After walking out of this place, it was like a cliff. Below was the deep darkness that could not be seen at a glance.

Of course, this place is not a dead end. There is a downward staircase on this cliff. This staircase is like a winding mountain road, and it was completely carved out along the wall. Zhenhong couldn't help but ask the shaman: "Is this your own repair?"

When the shaman heard Zhenhong's words, he hurriedly said, "How is that possible? This is obviously not something we can do! The things left by the gods are just specially excavated for us."

"It was specially dug for you?" Zhenhong asked in confusion.

The shaman nodded and said, "There are many glowing stones below. The gods like these stones very much, so we asked us to go down and help them pick up the stones, but the gods rarely go down. This ladder is a passage for our workers to go down. There are actually several such passages ahead."

I nodded and understood the situation here. After a long time, there was a mine in this place. It was not surprising that I needed so many servants. It turned out that not only served them, but also needed these servants to mine for them.

Although this staircase is very long, we will soon be below. There is actually a river at the bottom of this great rift valley, and that staircase is on the edge of the river. There is a space concave into the inside of the cliff, like a dock. This is obviously also dug out.

I suddenly felt some magic fluctuations here. So I asked, "What kind of stone did the gods ask you to mine?"

"Oh, wait a moment." The shaman pointed to the river and said something to the native man next to him. The shaman quickly walked into the river and began to look down into the water. After a while, he reached out and picked up a stone with a faint fluorescent light from the river. After finding the stone, the shaman ran back and handed it to the shaman. After taking the stone, the shaman quickly handed it over to me and said, "This is the stone that the gods like. I wonder if you like it? If you like it, we can help you mine this kind of stone. There are many under the river here."

"Oh, it's this kind of thing. It's better than wrong. I'm not interested in this thing." After I finished speaking, the shaman's expression immediately collapsed, but I suddenly said, "But although I'm not interested in this thing, there are many people who like it over there, so if you can get it back, it's still useful."

When I heard that it was just me who personally didn't like it, but there were many people here who liked it, the shaman immediately became excited. "So. I wonder if we can..."

"This is not yet certain. If your gates to heaven are still usable, we will build a passage here. Then we will hire you to help us mine this kind of stone. As for the cost... we will pay with food and weapons. You should like it?"

"Yes, yes. We just like food and weapons. These are things we are in urgent need of."

Actually, what I just said was not the truth. I don’t like this thing with a faint fluorescent, but I like it very much, because his grandfather’s magic crystal stone is the magic crystal stone! The river is full of this thing, just like pebbles. The native went into the water and touched it a few times and picked up a magic crystal stone as big as a goose egg. The output is really amazing! It’s only been more than a day since I arrived in this world, and I have found two magic crystal ores, and the output is so different. Is this world the origin of the magic crystal stone?

The reason why I don't care about magic crystals is because I am afraid that these natives have any ideas, and it will be bad for us to ask for prices all over the place. Although we can deter them by force, they will definitely be passive and slacking off in that way. In contrast, this is better for them to stay motivated. The output can be increased by at least several times.

Without continuing to pay attention to the magic crystals in this place, we boarded a boat. This was actually just a hollowed-out tree. It was said that the boat really lifted it. But this thing can at least be a person.

In fact, it is mainly because the shaman needs to take a boat. We don’t care about moving forward in the water at all, because the depth of this river is only below the crotch. We can move forward in the water.

After we got on this boat, we started to go upstream, but instead of raising the boat with something, we pulled a rope forward. This thing was obviously customized for them by the gods of this place. Because this rope was obviously not a braid made by the natives, but a rope twisted from some kind of strands of material. This thing feels like carbon fiber. It is very tough, and it is very light, resistant to stretching and corrosion, and the most important thing is that it will not break.

Holding the rope and pulling it back, the hull can naturally move forward, which is much faster than sliding with a paddle and saves effort.

In order to hurry up, of course we were going to pull the rope in the end. The subordinates of the native shaman were too weak and could not get faster.

With our efforts, the ship quickly arrived at a dock upstream and then walked up from here with the same stairs as winding mountains and roads. If it weren't for not carrying a shaman on his back, I would have thought it would be faster to fly up directly without taking the steps.

After finally waiting for the shaman to arrive at the top in panting, there were another series of passages. There were no locals living in the passage in this place, but the environment here was actually quite good, but it was inconvenient to get around, so no one lived so far away.

Continue forward from this passage and pass by a very strange place. This is a space slightly wider than the passage. There is a large hole in the ground in the center of this passage. The big hole is bottomless dark, and you can hear the howling wind below. Because this big hole is in the center of the passage, you can only walk around from both sides against the walls. However, the passages on both sides are actually relatively wide. As long as you don’t walk forward with your eyes closed, you usually don’t need to worry about falling down.

However, the shaman communicated with us before coming here. He told us that there were monsters living under this cave, so it was necessary to be quiet when passing here. The monster was sleeping all the time, and as long as we didn't make too loud noises, there would be no problem.

To be honest, this requirement is really troublesome for us. It’s not that we don’t want to be quiet, but that we can’t be quiet. Don’t forget that we are wearing metal boots. Although it is for anti-slip, there is a rubber pad under the boots, but it is still very loud on the road. This is incomparable to the straw sandals worn by the natives.

When we passed by this place, in order not to make a sound, we had to move forward quietly like a thief, but in the end, the monster woke up as I thought. The monster's hearing was actually very good, that is, the natives were light in their bodies and were wearing straw sandals, so there was no big noise, so it was impossible for us to avoid being discovered.

Although the monster woke up, the shaman performed well this time. This guy did not leave us and ran away. Instead, he bravely sprinkled a lot of powder into the big hole, and then pulled us to run away quickly. I can only understand this as the power of interest. If we die, there will be no hope for his delicious food and drink in the future. So this guy showed extraordinary courage at this time.

That powder is actually something that monsters hate, which will cause it to hesitate, but the monster will still come up because there is too little powder and it is impossible to stop it, just delaying its appearance.

Zhenhong and I were actually not going to run away at all, but we were pulled to the entrance of the cave. However, we stopped here to see what the monster looked like.

The result was a mistake, and the monster was so disgusting. After taking a look, Zhenhong turned around and ran away. Without hesitation, I pulled out a liquefied magic crystal steam bomb and threw it into the hole where the monster was, and then turned around and ran away. This super ugly monster with a head like a toad was very average defense, and a liquefied magic crystal steam was blown to death. After seeing the system prompt, I almost vomited it out. The system actually prompted that this thing is called a earthworm, which is a delicious ingredient. Damn, even if you eat a bite, I will never touch it.

Not far from here we entered a slightly wider space, with a fork and several. After we split from here, we can lead to different places, but what we are going to is the arsenal, so we can move forward from here.

After walking forward less than fifty meters, there was a stone gate. The shaman wizard scratched the bracelet in his hand on the door. Then the door opened itself. This was a completely black technology. Anyway, it was not on the same level as the technical level of the indigenous people.

After passing this door, I saw a big room, which was different from the cave outside. The room was decorated from the walls to the floor, and there were no traces of rocks. They were all metal plates. Directly opposite the room, there were two huge grooves, and there were two golem guards standing inside. The two golem guards were both over three meters tall and their shapes were scary, because these guys actually looked like eight-armed monsters.

These golem guards have eight arms, each of which holds a long sword. When Ye Yue's six snake swords danced, I have seen the attack density. This thing has eight arms. I wonder if it will be even more powerful than Ye Yue.

Before we could do anything after we came in, the two golem guards on the other side immediately began to move. Both golem guards took a step forward and walked out of the small cave that was half-concave that had been standing before. Then they stood in front of the opposite gate together, and then looked at us and said together: "The arsenal prohibits low-level slaves from approaching, leave immediately, otherwise they will be killed."

This is really not polite at all!

I snapped my fingers directly, and the King and Ye Yue appeared beside me respectively. Seeing two more people, the golem guards there immediately waved their weapons and ran towards us.

The king and Yeyue did not react at all to the approaching of the two golem guards. Yeyue did not move first after the two golem guards rushed to the vicinity. Although the shaman was a little scared, he still stood beside us and did not run away. At this time, Yeyue strengthened his courage, because Yeyue directly wrapped his big tail around the ankle of the golem guard. Then he lifted it upside down.

After the golem guard was lifted up, he was tangled with his tail and smashed it hard by Ye Yue, and finally turned into a pile of fragments to be considered to be freed. In contrast, the king on the other side was much more powerful. After the golem guard approached, he just drew his own sword, and then the golem guard fell down in two.

"It's very big and has average combat power." After saying that, the king took back his sword and then disappeared from the spot.

I didn't care about the shaman's shocked look and walked directly to the front of the gate and looked at it. This gate is very large, with a width of more than twenty meters and a height of at least six meters. I don't know what is inside such a large door. But I was very surprised. The entrance to this place is a narrowest passage where only one person can walk through. Who is the gate repair of this place so big? Even if something is released from this place, can the passage outside pass through?

Although I don’t quite understand the so-called gods’ ideas, I just want to know what’s inside.

Although the shaman was surprised by Ye Yue and the king's force, he had been stimulated many times along the way, so now his adaptability has improved greatly. The shaman who soon reacted directly ran to me and saw me touching the gate and said, "This is something built by the gods. We have no power to destroy it, but you might be able." He already knew that we may be of similar strength to the gods, so he still had some confidence in us being able to destroy this gate. In fact, he also wanted to know what was installed in it, and even fantasized that if it was really a weapon after opening it, it would be best if there were some things we looked down upon to them. Because even if it was something we looked down upon, it would be a good thing that they could imagine.

"This is really a good thing!" I said, touching the door.

Zhenhong came over and tapped it twice, then said, "It seems that this is a marble?"

I nodded. I was built with this kind of stone, and it was very hard.

"Open and take a look." I said and retreated. The shaman didn't know what I was going to do, but he still followed me back.

Zhenhong walked to the door by himself, then put his ear on and knocked on the door with his fingers, then stepped aside for a while to start activate the skill. "Dawei Tianlong Fist - Break."

With a bang, Zhenhong's fist hit the door directly, but the reaction afterwards was a bit strange. The door did not open immediately, but had no reaction, and there was no change in the room we were in.

"What's going on?" I couldn't help asking, looking at the strange door.

Zhenhong didn't pause. She punched the door again. This time, it could be seen that the power used was very small, but after she used it, the door actually shattered under her fist.

The shaman's chin almost fell off directly. This gate was an insurmountable obstacle for them, but Zhenhong actually penetrated it with two punches. And it was broken into pieces. This power was really a bit too much.

"What a terrible power!"

"You haven't seen the real power yet." After I finished speaking, I took the lead and walked in.

Not to mention, there are really some things we are interested in in this gate. "Woma, you'd better come here."

"What's wrong?" The voice of Woma was remembered in the communicator.
To be continued...
