Chapter 111 The Nether Crocodile escapes!
Chapter 111 The Nether Crocodile escapes!
Just near the bottomless pit, a simple hut has been built.
Now that the stairs have been built, Hu the bricklayer has started the construction work inside the cave.
In order to conceal his activities, Chen Changfan specially built a house here so that no one would know what was happening here.
Entering the wooden house and lighting a fire, Chen Changfan walked down the long and narrow stairs step by step. The light around him gradually dimmed.
He was used to using a ladder to go up and down the pit, so going down the stairs so slowly made him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, he always had to step firmly on the stairs step by step and eliminate any possible hidden dangers one by one, so that he could let his wife and daughter come down without worry.
After all, it is a passage that leads directly to the underground. Although it is not a straight up and down passage, the maximum depth is at least 20 to 30 meters. If one accidentally falls down the stairs, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"The construction of the water ladder must be put on the agenda later."
There was no electricity in this era, so the elevator could only be driven by water power. Chen Changfan called the elevator a water elevator.
Of course, building a water ladder is much more difficult than building a staircase. Now we just have time to build the staircase, but it is too late to build the water ladder.
"There is still a lot of work to be done, and we can only do it step by step."
As Chen Changfan was thinking this, he had already reached the end of the stairs. There was a faint light illuminating the ground beneath his feet.
When we got down to the ground, a bright light illuminated the surrounding scenery, making the cave look not too dark.
There is a lantern grass planted every two meters on the roadside, which is the source of the fluorescence.
In addition, there is an oil lamp on the rock wall every ten meters, but most of them are out.
Lamp oil also costs money, and now that no one has moved in yet, we should save as much as possible.
Not far away were several half-finished wooden beds and cabinets, all made by Hu the bricklayer. He was not here at the moment, so he must have gone out to buy wood.
Hululu!
Hearing Chen Changfan's footsteps, the huge creature behind the stone pillar stood up excitedly, obviously looking forward to Chen Changfan's arrival.
"Don't worry, I'll feed you right away."
Chen Changfan took out fish, chicken and other meats from his backpack and poured them all in front of the Nether Crocodile. The latter immediately opened its mouth and chewed excitedly. If the space inside the stone pillar was not very narrow, Chen Changfan even suspected that the creature would wag its tail at him.
Squeak!
The little lizard crawled out from the gap, holding a small bottle in its claws, and handed it to Chen Changfan as if asking for credit.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoqing, you're good too."
Chen Changfan named the little lizard Xiaoqing, and then took out a small spirit fish and fed it to the latter.
Chen Changfan opened the small bottle, and a familiar fragrance immediately filled the air.
This is the marrow fluid that the little lizard collected with great effort, and he insists on taking a drop every day.
Anyone who uses it will know how good the effect is.
After doing all this, he took out sulfuric acid and skillfully smeared it back and forth on the stone pillar.
After a while, the hard rock became soft like tofu, and soon more than half of it was corroded away, breaking into pieces and falling down.
In the past few days, he has improved the equipment of the tower cylinder method, and the concentration of sulfuric acid produced is already very high.
rustling!
Another large piece of rock fell off, and the huge rock pillar, which was originally as thick as a water tank, had been corroded for the most part.
"Xiaoyou, try and see if you can break through this stone pillar and get out."
Chen Changfan felt that the name Nether Crocodile was too ominous, so he gave the latter a better-sounding name.
The Nether Crocodile nodded humanely, then suddenly exerted force with the muscles of its short and thick limbs, slamming its body hard against the stone pillar that was mostly corroded.
boom!
The stone pillar shook violently, and a large amount of rubble was shattered and fell down.
boom!
The Nether Crocodile roared and continued to strike hard, causing the stone pillar to shake.
Under continuous impact, the Nether Crocodile's iron-hard skin was actually scratched by the stone pillar, and dark blue blood continued to flow out.
But this also aroused the ferocity of the Nether Crocodile. A cold light flashed in its eyes, and its terrifying bloody mouth opened wide. It bit off a large piece of rock in one bite, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The Netherworld Crocodile was already furious at this time. With a desperate effort, it actually broke a large piece of rock and squeezed out through the gap of the stone pillar.
The Netherworld Crocodile swung its huge body, and only then did its figure fully reveal itself.
With a body that is five meters long, it looks very intimidating just by lying there.
The crocodile skin, which looked like rock, was now covered with dust and blood. It was obvious that it had just struggled to break free from the stone pillar, which had consumed a lot of energy.
Hurrah!
Although the Nether Crocodile was covered in wounds, his eyes were filled with excitement. After all, there was no greater reward than regaining his freedom.
I never thought that this seemingly ordinary master would actually be able to help me out of trouble one day.
The Nether Crocodile wagged its tail at Chen Changfan gratefully, and now it submitted to Chen Changfan from the bottom of its heart.
Seeing this arrogant Nether Crocodile wagging its tail in front of him like a puppy, Chen Changfan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Now that you're free, catching fish and shrimp in the river shouldn't be a problem. Besides finding food, you should guard the entrance of this cave and guard against any possible danger."
Although this is an underground cave, it is not a completely enclosed space.
The caves on the top of the mountain and the underground rivers can all lead to this place, so he needs the Nether Crocodile to act as the last line of guard.
Not to mention anything else, even if a man-bear breaks in, the Nether Crocodile can fight it. If it is some bad guys with bad intentions, the Nether Crocodile will definitely be able to eat them all in one bite.
"Once the manor is built, we'll dig a moat and put the Nether Crocodile inside. No one will be able to break in easily."
Chen Changfan drove the Nether Crocodile into the underground river, and the latter dived into the river and swam happily.
As for the injuries on the Nether Crocodile, Chen Changfan didn't take it to heart at all. After all, for a powerful creature like the Nether Crocodile, such minor injuries were nothing.
"Now that the stone pillar is broken, I can go in and take a look at the marrow fluid."
Chen Changfan lit a fire stick, moved sideways into the gap between the stone pillars, and approached the rock wall behind.
The fire started to move along the rock wall, and a large purple crystal cluster could be vaguely seen. It looked a bit like amethyst, but it emitted a faint glow, and a watery halo enveloped the crystal cluster.
The crystal cluster is in the shape of an inverted hammer. At the tip of the bottom, some faint spots of light condense to form a drop of milky white liquid, which seems to be about to drip down.
Not far below the crystal cluster, in a natural stone pit, there was a small pool of white liquid, emitting a rich fragrance.
"It's the marrow fluid, hahahaha, there's still quite a bit."
While Chen Changfan carefully put the marrow fluid into the small bottle, he silently lamented Xiaoqing's simple intelligence.
There was so much marrow fluid, but Xiaoqing only filled a small amount of it. It was obvious that she was not skilled enough in using the tools.
After a while, Chen Changfan put all the marrow fluid into the small bottle, filling up half a bottle.
