South of the Elf Forest, the Gloom Mountain Range.
In a basin not far from the Gloom Mountain Range Teleportation Portal built by the players …
At some point in time, tents had been set up here, and black dragon flags had been erected one after another, fluttering in the wind.
Elves with different hair colors were busy in the camp.
They were either moving rocks, clearing weeds, or using Earth Elemental Magic to create new terrains …
They were one of the most famous player groups in Elf Nation — the Mengmeng Committee Construction Team.
After the major guilds had chosen the location to build their city, the construction team was led by the guild leader, Salty Meow, and the vice leader, Cuckoo Bird, to build their own city in the mountains.
This was a rather challenging mission, and it was also a rather puzzling choice.
Not only did the players from other guilds not understand why the Mengmeng Committee would choose the barren and rugged Gloom Mountain Range, but even the members of the Mengmeng Committee were dissatisfied with Salty Meow's choice …
They did not understand why their guild leader would choose the Gloom Mountain Range instead of the Elf Forest.
However, Sister Meow Meow had always been generous and had a good head for business.
Although Salty Meow was publicly recognized as underage, his decisions were often proven to be quite insightful.
Therefore, even though many players did not understand, they still held it in for the time being.
It was also because they had confidence in their guild leader …
After all, she was a big boss who had monopolized more than 70% of the real estate transactions in Elf Nation at the age of 15 …
Under her leadership, even though the Nature's Heart players had opened a chamber of commerce in the human world, they were still not as rich as the Mengmeng Committee, which was developing real estate under her leadership.
As one of the four major guilds, the Mengmeng Committee was treated the best in the entire server and was envied by the other players …
Under such circumstances, the Mengmeng Committee had always been very cohesive.
It was very clear that a semi-casual guild that focused on life skills could compete with the other all-rounded guilds.
Therefore, even though they were not optimistic about the Gloom Mountain Range, many players were still willing to believe in their guild leader and that he had a long-term plan for choosing this place.
Of course, this was also because when they arrived at the designated location, they found that the conditions here were much better than they had imagined.
Salty Meow had chosen one of the three locations in the Gloom Mountain Range that was closest to the Desert of Death.
The city was built in a basin. To the south of the basin was the Desert of Death, and to the east was the Fertile Plains.
Although this place was still part of the Gloom Mountain Range, it was still considered relatively rich.
At the very least, self-sufficiency shouldn't be a problem.
The only thing that could be said was that transportation was not convenient enough. They could only rely on teleportation arrays to solve the problem.
However, when it came to transporting supplies, it would be fine if it was a small amount, but if it was a large amount, it would be impossible.
They could only slowly repair the mountain roads …
However, just as everyone thought that they would have to think of a way to build a transportation channel to the Elven Forest for a long time …
Guild Master Salty Meow did something else.
She blew up a mountain in the west.
Accompanied by a loud bang, a huge fireball soared into the sky, rolling up sand and dust.
At that moment, a mushroom cloud rose from the west side of the basin.
The whole mountain range trembled slightly, and the earthquake-like echoes echoed for a long time …
Under the shocked gazes of the players, the mountain that was at least 800 to 900 meters high was blown into two halves.
Only the mountain that had been blown into two halves and the rubble on the ground were left.
"What's the point of building a road? It's too troublesome. Just blow up a road. "
The culprit said as she put away her magic staff.
Of course, although she sounded pretentious when she said this, she was completely exhausted. Her face was pale, and she looked as if she had been drained of her mana.
Even so, the players who had witnessed this still looked as if they had seen a ghost.
'Oh my god, that's a mountain!'
A mountain that was hundreds of meters high, or even a thousand meters high!
It was blown into two halves by an AOE attack?
Wasn't this … too much of a bug?
Was she really a human?
Oh, no. Was she really a player?
Her destructive power was too terrifying. How much mana did she accumulate? How much damage did she do?
The players of the Mengmeng Committee looked at Salty Meow who had left with a strange expression.
Even though they knew that their president was a weirdo who liked to bombard the ground with nuclear bombs, they still didn't expect that she could cause such great destruction after reaching the max level of 50.
No, when they were fighting in the Desert of Death, it was not that they had not seen Advanced Professionals, but even a Gold Advanced Professional would not be able to blow up a mountain …
Salty Meow, on the other hand, was only at the peak of the low-level silver.
If there was anything different about her, it would probably be that she was now wearing six godly items, all of which were low-level silver and gold-level legendary, and all of them had special effects that increased magic damage and mana …
The stacking of the special effects of the equipment was terrifying.
Was she the real tycoon of the Ultimate Style?
They loved her so much.
However, just when everyone was frustrated by the comparison, Salty Meow shook her head.
"Damn, don't look at me like that. I used some Magic Stone Bombs that weren't used up in the Desert of Death. My own damage isn't that high. I just did some minor work …"
Everyone was speechless.
So that was it …
Everyone was shocked.
If she had used Magic Stone Bombs, then it made sense.
Many people in the construction team had made this kind of "bomb" before, and they knew its power.
Aside from the fact that it was more extravagant to use magic stones as the main material, its power was definitely more powerful than the explosives on the Bluestar.
However, even if they knew that Salty Meow had used "Magic Stone Bombs," they were still shocked when they saw what used to be a mountain turned into rubble …
After the war, the guild didn't have that many "Magic Stone Bombs" left.
Even if they relied on the power of the "Magic Stone Bombs," the power of Salty Meow's magic was probably not half, but at least twenty to thirty percent.
And that was quite terrifying.
Regarding this, the more the players knew about it, the more horrified they were.
Especially the other silver-level mage players.
When they thought of their own explosive spells, which at most blew up a big pit with a range of tens of meters on the ground, the corners of their mouths twitched.
If it were them, even if they were given explosives, they probably wouldn't be able to do it.
What a difference.
Mages were not a class that commoners could afford to play.
After blasting apart a mountain peak, Little Salty Meow rested for a brief moment, before issuing a rather peculiar command to the guild members.
"Okay, send some of you to clean up the rubble. Also, the mages, follow up and continue to open up a path. After passing this mountain, continue to blow up the ground until the passage appears."
Blow up the ground?
Blow up the passage?
The other players were slightly stunned.
Underground …
Some of the more quick-witted players had an idea.
If the target was the underground, based on their long experience, the target was probably very clear.
It was the underground world!
"Guild Master, are you planning to open up a passage to the underground world?"
A player asked.
Salty Meow nodded with a smile.
"Of course, otherwise, why would I choose this place?"
Hearing this, many players' eyes lit up.
It was true that the Gloom Mountain Range was barren.
But if they could open up a passage to the underground world, then it would be different.
"But … there's no way to open up a passage to the underground world here, right? The bottom of the mountain is full of rocks, very thick rock layers. "
A player who was more familiar with the terrain shook his head.
There was an underground world in the world of Segers, but not all of the surface worlds could open up a passage to the underground world. Most of the time, it was the rock layers that stopped them.
The thickness of the rock layers ranged from a few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers.
In a sense, the underground world actually existed in the rock layers.
And the thing that stopped the surface from communicating with the underground world was the thickness of the rock layers.
Only places where the rock layers were thin could be opened up.
But that was not here.
There were three places where players could build a city in the Gloom Mountain Range.
One was the Fertile Basin.
One was the border with the Fertile Plains, east of the basin.
Another was the foothills west of the Fertile Basin.
And among the three places, the third was officially recognized as the closest place to the underground world.
Not only was it close to the underground world, but it was also said to be rich in minerals.
However, Salty Meow chose the first place.
The first place did not have a weak rock layer.
After hearing the player's words, Salty Meow smiled and said, "Of course, I know.
"Of course, I know that I won't be able to get through if I just call down, but … who said that I have to go straight to the underground world?"
We can do it indirectly! "
She whistled, and a Crypt Spider emerged from the ground and came to Salty Meow.
Little Salted Meow tossed a magic stone to the other party and explained to the others, "That's right.
"Actually, before attacking the Death Desert, I've been thinking about building a city in the Gloom Mountain Range.
"The Elven Forest is too far away from the Desert of Death. It's impossible to just rely on a transfer portal. We need a stable foothold. That's a necessity."
"Not only that, but as the gateway to the south of the Elven Forest, the Gloom Mountain Range has a very important strategic position.
"So … from then on, I started to ask the Spider Queen, Lolth, who is more familiar with the Gloom Mountain Range, to help me survey the terrain.
"As for this area, it is a place that I have my eyes on."
"That's right. Although this is a rich area in the Gloom Mountain Range, the rock layer underground is very thick, and we can't go directly to the underground world.
"However, I got another secret from the Spider Queen, Lolth.
"Actually, she was active in this area in her early years and dug a hole in the rock layer underground. The third location of the city was where she lived before she migrated to Rivendell.
"And the place where we are standing now also has a passage that she opened up nearby."
"So, we don't need to directly open a tunnel to the underground world. We only need to connect to the tunnel that Lolth dug.
"Find the tunnel of the Crypt Spiders. Through the tunnel, we can go directly to the third location, which is ten kilometers away from here, and open the entrance to the underground world!
"This way, we'll be connected to the third location."
After hearing Salty Meow's words, the players' eyes lit up.
That's … possible?
That's great!
The terrain of the Gloom Mountain Range was rugged, but if there was a tunnel of the Crypt Spiders, it would be much easier to travel.
If the first location could be connected to the third location, they would be rich.
The basin that they chose had higher Mana than other places, and the vegetation was growing well. It was self-sufficient, but the transportation was more limited.
If they could connect to the third location through the underground tunnel, they would be able to completely connect to the underground world!
If they could connect to the underground world, the situation would be completely different.
They could even go through the underground world and return to Rivendell without any obstacles!
Of course, the players were more used to using the Teleportation Portal.
If there was a day where there was no obstacles, it would be beneficial for the activities of the merchant teams. In the long run, it would have a significant impact on the city's economy.
Not only that … they could also use the third location as a mining location for the new city!
Speaking of which, they were close to the Death Desert. If they could really open a tunnel and start mining, it would be easy to deal with the miners.
After all, they were Half-Orcs!
After they were defeated and surrendered, there would be plenty of them in the Death Desert.
Thinking about it … it was not a bad idea to build a city here.
It had great potential for development!
For a moment, the players' imaginations ran wild …
Salty Meow continued.
"In addition, this location is only a few mountains away from the second location. Since I was able to use the power of the Magic Stone Bomb to blow up the first one, I can blow up the second one, the third one …"
"The straight-line distance from here to the Fertile Plains is less than five kilometers. We do need to build roads, but only one is needed, and that is the one that leads to the Fertile Plains."
"Our location is closer to the south of the Gloom Mountain Range. After we open a path to the Fertile Plains, we can directly connect to the Ayres Kingdom in the human world."
"Comrades, think about it. If we build a city in this location, what will be waiting for us in the future?"
As he spoke, Salty Meow revealed a pair of sweet dimples and was full of pride.
"It will be wealth!"
"It will lead to the underground world, the Ayres Kingdom, the Death Desert in the south, and the Elven Forest through the Teleportation Portal …"
"It will be difficult for such a location not to become a business center!"
"Only children would do multiple-choice questions. We, the Mengmeng Committee, want all the advantages of the three locations!"
"Everyone, let us build a beautiful and rich city at the top of the mountain!"
