The Goblin Kingdom was a labyrinth.
Whether it was in the original Lord of the Rings novels or movies, although there weren't any large-scale positive descriptions, the answer was always the same no matter how one looked at it. The Goblin Kingdom was a labyrinth. Because of the rugged interior of the caves, because of the variability and complexity of the terrain, because of those damned, filthy, idiotic goblins who carelessly dug and built carelessly, the entire Goblin Kingdom was more of a labyrinth than the most terrifying of labyrinths. At least a logical labyrinth had an exit, while the majority of the Goblin Kingdom's labyrinths didn't. If you had any questions, you could ask the goblins. Exit? What was that? Was it necessary? Was it not necessary? Was it necessary?
Everyone in team Celestial had already gone from being indifferent towards this group of goblins at the start, to using them after forming an alliance, to being enraged afterwards, and finally to the present deep hatred. In fact, there were already people in the team who suggested directly exterminating this group of goblins after the mission ended.
At this moment, team Celestial was following the mountain passageway of the Goblin Kingdom and heading down. They planned to first confirm the location of the One Ring, and then wait for the team battle with Team Nordic before immediately obtaining the One Ring. This plan was good, and so were their expectations and plans. The only bad thing was that they didn't understand the concept of the Goblin Kingdom being a labyrinth.
Let's talk about a joke that only veteran teams in the World of Reincarnation knew. Once, in the second generation, there was a strong team. The strongest in the team asked another strong team of the second generation how frightening the leader of the strongest team, team China, was.
The two teams actually didn't get along that well, so the person who was asked thought for a long time and said that team China's leader had nothing special apart from strength. He didn't have any time or spatial abilities, nor did he have any special abilities or super items. Simply put, apart from a 'handful' of strength, there was nothing special about him.
The strong team was overjoyed when they heard this, and then challenged team China during the team battle. Thus … the second generation of the World of Reincarnation came to an end.
F * * k, an organism that could lift the moon and smash it into Earth, you f * * king call that a 'handful' of strength? How big was that 'handful'? Was it as big as the sun? This was no longer a f * cking crush or a car flip. This was simply a f * cking trample!!!
Similarly, quantitative changes led to qualitative changes. This was the case with the Gnome Kingdom's labyrinth. It wasn't even a f * cking labyrinth anymore. It should be called a maze or a maze plane. For some unknown reason, perhaps some special minerals or the Lord of the Rings' shielding, the deeper they went into the labyrinth, the smaller the range of their psychic power scanning. Moreover, it increased exponentially. So far, their psychic power scanning range was only about ten meters. For team Celestial's captain, who could scan almost half of China, this was almost impossible. But now, it was happening. It could be imagined that this was one of the restrictions the Lord of Gods had placed on the plot.
"Is it for the safety of the One Ring? Before the Hobbits accidentally found it, the labyrinth here would have protected the One Ring. Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why the Goblins didn't sense the One Ring existing here for so many years. "
The silver-masked man seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, his expression changed. He raised his head and looked at the large section of the labyrinth above everyone. Then, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, we can't confirm the location of the One Ring first. Then, we'll follow the plot. When the battle starts, Xiao Mianren, you're in charge of watching the Hobbit. Follow him closely and be sure to find the One Ring. Then, when we confirm that we've obtained a large number of points, we'll seize the One Ring."
The one called Xiao Mianren was the yellow-skinned youth with the whip in team Celestial. He scratched his head after hearing this and laughed mischievously. "Is it fine? Let me, the second strongest in the team, follow the Hobbit. What if the Northern Ice Continent team is unexpectedly strong? Won't that put the team in danger … "
The silver-masked man shook his head and smiled slightly. "It's fine. According to my understanding of him, he'll definitely send the strongest person in Team Nordic to follow the Hobbit and try to get the One Ring before us. He'll then confront us with the remaining Team Nordic members and a large number of Dwarven soldiers. While this way, the strongest person in Team Nordic will look for the One Ring. So, your departure is not meaningless. In the whole team, except for me, only you and I can be sure that we can defeat the strongest person in Team Nordic, no matter who that person is."
Xiao Mianren nodded and agreed. "I understand. My mission is to find the One Ring. Okay, this thing … I'll take it."
Hearing this, the silver-masked man smiled again …
At the same time, Chu Hao and the Dwarves were rushing through the mountains. They had just tested the explosiveness of C4 explosives on the way, and now they were looking for the cave entrance to the Goblin Kingdom that was most likely to exist nearby.
In the world of Lord of the Rings, all technological weapons were prohibited, including bullets, explosives, missiles, and any other technological weapons that might exist. When Team Nordic first entered this world, Chu Hao had tested bullets and gunpowder. In fact, all bullets could not be used when they were first detonated. For unknown reasons, gunpowder did not have any effect at the moment of impact. As a result, the bullet could not be shot out of the chamber. However, after the bullet was disassembled, the gunpowder could be ignited. In fact, there were also fireworks and firecrackers in this world.
However, this was the strange part. If a large amount of gunpowder was placed in a small enclosed space, or if it was made into something similar to explosives, the gunpowder would not be able to be ignited again. In other words, this world naturally restricted technology … Whether it was chemical or mechanical technology, it sounded complicated. To put it simply, it was as if this world was a magic-free domain. In this world, only physical damage could occur. All magic was either unusable or useless. Of course, this was just a description. If the word 'magic' was replaced with 'technology', it would make sense.
However, there was a slight difference … If technological weapons could not be used, could magical weapons be used?
Chu Hao did not know why all technological weapons were prohibited in the world of Lord of the Rings. This was because in some ways, it was possible to use fire to ignite gunpowder, but it could not be used to ignite large amounts of gunpowder piled up in enclosed spaces. This was fundamentally illogical. However, this illogical fact had appeared in the world of Lord of the Rings. Chu Hao really could not figure out why such a situation would occur. Whether it was knowledge or the level of power, the difference between them was too great. He could only make a rough guess that perhaps all of this was caused by the laws of physics in this realm.
However, this world had magic. For example, magic such as fireballs could also cause destructive power similar to explosives. Then … what if magic was used to ignite gunpowder? In other words, gunpowder was not the power of technological weapons, but an extension of magical weapons or magic skills? Then this explosion caused by magical power … would it still be considered a technological weapon?
In fact, magic also needed materials. The magic exchanged from the Lord God, whether it was Chu Hao's arcanist or the Weave's enhancement, did not need any supplementary materials. However, everyone heard different things from Xi Kong. In her hundreds of reincarnations, she had also appeared in the magic plane. Most magic users needed incantations, hand gestures, and casting materials to use magic. For example, the Spider Web spell required the consumption of real spider webs, and the Stone Skin spell required the consumption of diamond powder and so on. There were also spells that used gunpowder as a casting material.
Thus, Chu Hao had a conjecture and a plan. When he had entered this plane and found out that all technological weapons were ineffective, he had used his Divinity Granules to analyze the magical structure of the Fireball Spell and the characteristics of the runes. He had also extracted the runes that he had analyzed. When he was experimenting with the C4 Explosives this time, he had carried out several experiments of different levels. One of them was to directly detonate the C4 Explosives, but the result was naturally ineffective. Next, he had used the flames of the Fireball Spell to detonate the C4 Explosives, but it was also ineffective. When Chu Hao had condensed the runes of the Fireball Spell into each of the C4 Explosives, the C4 Explosives directly detonated when he detonated the runes … These C4 Explosives that had been condensed by the runes of the Fireball Spell were no longer treated as technological weapons, but as a type of mutated magic. The C4 Explosives themselves were treated as casting materials, and this … was the entire plan of Chu Hao's C4 Explosives to make dwarven meat bombs …
But this way, even if the dwarves detonated the C4 explosives, the C4 explosives themselves would not explode unless Chu Hao detonated the flame runes he condensed. This way, it was equivalent to all the dwarves themselves becoming Chu Hao's long-range bombs. As long as Chu Hao willed it, these dwarves would be blown to pieces for no reason. The dwarves naturally did not know this, but it could not be hidden from the other members of the God's Realm team. Therefore, after the C4 explosives experiment, everyone in the God's Realm team was very silent. They looked at the dwarves who were full of enthusiasm as they advanced with their heads held high. Everyone was silent. Apart from Xi Kong, who still had a calm expression, the others looked at Chu Hao with some confusion and hesitation …
Could it be … that he really wanted to turn all the dwarves into human bombs? Could it be … that they were really expendable?
Chu Hao did not answer. He walked at the front of the team, and following Aoqi's spiritual scan, he finally found the entrance to the cave that led to the Goblin Kingdom. At the same time, he also found traces of people who had passed by and set up camp. This … was where Solin and the others had passed by!
Now, there was only one doubt left. Where were they?!
