Chapter 114: Human Facilities Deep Underground

After exploring the ruins of the Catman's stone pillars, in the next few days, Xue Hua and the Rogge sisters entered a crazy leveling mode.

With the help of the swarm, Xue Hua's leveling plan was completed smoothly, and his experience would increase by about three percent every day, which was already quite a considerable increase for him, which meant that if he continued at this rate, he could move up one level almost every month.

This is incredible in terms of the depth of his experience pool.

While trying to upgrade, Xue Hua did not relax his attention to the various plans being implemented by the swarm.

The Swarm Fleet has yet to send back any news due to the fact that it has been too far away from the Sanctuary world.

Zagalla's nest expansion is going as smoothly as ever.

Dehaka's genetic collection is still progressing steadily, except for Lu Gao, who Xue Hua handed over to the worm mother Chrissa and gave Isa tactical guidance, has encountered some unexpected "little troubles" due to the sewer infiltration plan.

According to Krisa, the plan went smoothly at first, and the swarm followed Xue Hua's plan to build a rather hidden, secret temporary base on the east side of the city outside of Lugoin near the coast, and from there began to dig tunnels underneath Lugoin.

The tunnel was dug quite deep, and because Isha was afraid of disturbing the legendary professionals in the city, it added fifty percent of the depth to Krisha's original plan.

Yet deep underground, Chrysa's swarm has unearthed traces of human activity—not ancient ruins, but new ones, some of which even have traces of recent use.

This discovery also made Isha feel quite strange, so she immediately suspended Krisha's plan, and then quickly reported the unexpected discovery to Xue Hua.

And Xue Hua was even more inexplicable after hearing Isa's report and the images transmitted back from the mind of the main nest.

He had seen the map of the Lugoin structure in Kane's hand, and knew that the city's sewer system was particularly large, but with the excavation depth given by Isa, they should have dug under the sewer system long ago.

Why are traces of human activity still found there?

And it's not the ruins of an ancient city, but some dark alleyways that are clearly still in use......

It's amazing.

In terms of the characteristics of the human race, living in such a deep underground will definitely not be able to stand it after a long time, and it is not a race that specializes in burrowing into the ground like cavemen or dwarves......

This sudden discovery made Xue Hua feel very strange, so he decided to investigate the matter a little.

So he ordered the insect mother Chrissa to send a few cockroaches to sneak into the human tunnels from the ground to see if they could meet the humans in the tunnels or something.

Mother Cressa quickly complied, sending a team of twelve cockroaches and two infected to infiltrate the tunnel dug by the swarm.

Cockroaches are able to burrow silently through the dirt, and have been upgraded several times now to move very quickly underground.

They act as pathfinders in front, using seismic sensing organs to sense anomalous activity overhead.

The two infected follow behind the cockroach squad, using their psionic tentacles to sense psionic disturbances in case their infiltration touches any psionic alarm device and alarms the target above.

At the same time, the infected also bear the responsibility of "captive".

Once the cockroach team in front of them finds traces of humans, as long as they are not professionals, they are responsible for directly capturing them with the reduced power version of the "mold breeding" skill, and if the other party is an evil contract, it is mold breeding + cockroach raid + nerve parasitic triple attack.

Unprepared, even the Evil Pact, who is generally in the rank of more than forty, would have to be obediently restrained under this kind of surprise attack.

And if the target is a professional, then let it go for the time being, leaving a cockroach lurking next to it to see if it can overhear anything, and the other units move on to find the next target.

Guided by a clear plan, the cockroaches soon found their first target, a guard-like guy in full gray leather armor who was napping against the wall.

However, when the infected approached from underground and tested it with psionic tentacles, they found that it was a level 24 professional.

The guy's face had grown old, and the outfit he was wearing didn't look good, and the only piece of equipment that shone with a faint blue glow was the dagger he pinned to his waist.

Well, the guy who is miserable and has very low qualifications.

Such people are common.

After all, there are geniuses in this world, but they are only a minority.

The upper limit of the level of more professionals is only twenty or thirty levels, and in some small villages, it can be regarded as burning high incense to produce a professional, a bit like Xue Hua's previous life A few decades ago, a college student came out of a village in the countryside, which was a major event that would alarm ten miles and eight towns.

Camp Rogge is the starting point for professional travel, but this does not mean that all professionals are born in Camp Rog.

Just like the scum that Xue Hua met when he first came to this world, one of them was a druid from a small village hidden in the Black Forest in the Western Realm.

Many of these small villages were destroyed by the Infernal Invasion, but many were not affected due to their location.

These villages are the main ones that provide the qualifications to perform the inauguration ceremony.

Since there are only a handful of places in the entire Western Realm where there are sages (legendary professions) who can perform the inauguration ceremony, there are several times of the year when all the young people who have been preliminarily screened in those villages gather and travel long distances to these locations where the sages are seated to hold free inauguration ceremonies for these young people.

This free inauguration ceremony is of course the lowest kind (and even then it is expensive), and can only roughly arouse the human perception of the professional covenant.

During the inauguration ceremony, young people who can feel the holy covenant of the professional will be promoted on the spot and become disciples of one of the "Seven Holy Beings".

To put it bluntly, it is a successful job in one of the seven major professions.

And young people who have not felt the Holy Covenant or have only roughly felt the Holy Covenant but have not been able to "win the favor of the Sage" will never have the next chance.

- Unless they have at least three thousand gold coins in their homes, they can ask the sages to perform an inauguration ceremony on them.

Of course, this is a number that no one in the small village would dare to imagine.

Young people who become professionals are certainly excited, excited, but they don't know that for them, the real cruelty has just begun.

Professions who are inaugurated through this inauguration ceremony without any augmentation are usually capped at a very low level, and only true "supernovas" will be able to ignore this distraction and discover their powers.

However, the vast majority of such professionals, after the excitement of the initial ten levels, will soon find that their level of advancement begins to slow down, until they completely stagnate at a certain level, and their bodies are unable to accept and transform the hell energy into their own powerful power.

And at this time, their pain begins.

Although he was sympathetic to what happened to these guys, Xue Hua didn't want to meddle with things.

Some things are not solved by righteous indignation, and some things are not as simple as they seem.

Therefore, Xue Hua only instructed the cockroaches and the infected to continue to act according to the plan, leaving one cockroach to listen, and the other units continued to advance into the depths.

The cockroach team was ordered to continue their movements, diving deeper into the passage paved with large stone slabs.

Then, they quickly found their next target.

Those were two guys on patrol.

The equipment on their bodies looked just as shabby, and one of them, who looked like a paladin, had a white wooden stick in his hand with a rebellious aura under his feet......

If it weren't for the faint white light emitted from the wooden stick, which showed that it was really a piece of equipment, Xue Hua would almost think that this guy was holding someone's rolling pin as a weapon......

Will you be poor like this?

You can't afford a scepter, you can't afford a saber, can't you even afford a mace?

At least it looks like a weapon, and it can be used to bluff people, man!

This one you're holding in your hand... Are you going back to making hand-rolled dough?
