Lin Xiao found a suitable place on a huge plain more than 500 kilometers away from the original tribe. He asked the minotaur Jonila to lead the team forward, and he arrived at the destination first.
Hanging in the air and overlooking the endless land, Lin Xiao's eyes flickered and he was hesitating.
At this moment, he is making a very critical decision.
It is certain that even with his protection, the cavemen will not be able to protect themselves in the early stages.
Although they escaped from their original tribe, there was no safe place in the Underdark. No matter how far they fled, as long as they were in the Underdark they would be discovered by the drow in the third layer of the Underdark or other races in the first layer. It was impossible for them to find a place where no one would discover them.
That is to say, you will still encounter drow raiding teams.
It's just that he has moved to a new place now. If there is a drow city in the third layer of the Underdark nearby, it will be safe under his protection in the first few years. Even if the drow cities unite, that will be a few years later. He still has a few years to prepare for development.
But things in the world are unpredictable. This is just the best case scenario he could imagine. Who knows if there will be any accidents, such as finding out in the first year that the drow coalition attacked the caveman tribe again in the second year, or that the drow coalition chased them from hundreds of kilometers away, etc. It's all possible.
Therefore, in the early stages, the cavemen must have a certain ability to protect themselves.
In a foreign land without modern civilization, the best way for mortals to protect themselves is to build cities.
Given the cavemen's situation, it is impossible to build a city, so Lin Xiao has to do it himself.
What he is struggling with now is that he is just an incarnation now, and the divine power he carries is not unlimited. At this stage and probably in the next hundred years, he cannot count on the cavemen to provide divine power for his incarnation. If he consumes a lot of divine power now, the risk will be greater in the future.
But we have to do nothing. With the strength of the underground people, they cannot last for a hundred years.
Moreover, as the tribe of cryptmen grows larger in the future, the drow elves will certainly not sit idly by and watch this race, which they have slaughtered for tens of thousands of years, grow up. In the future, they will surely face a concentrated encirclement and suppression by the drow.
So
"Fortune and honor are sought in danger, give it a try!"
Lin Xiao made up his mind, his eyes swept across the vast underground plain, he took a deep breath, and his pupils slowly lit up with golden light representing divinity, which then spread to his entire body and quickly transformed into a huge golden light man in the form of a caveman. The divine power he exuded made the caveman refugees in the distance kneel down one after another, and they fanatically recited the caveman language that ordinary people could not understand to him.
Lin Xiao ignored them. The divine power surging in the divine fire drove the universal extraordinary divine ability - changing reality. Golden light sprinkled all over the sky, and the earth began to change its shape like flowing water under the impetus of his will.
Theoretically, this universal extraordinary divine power is infinitely powerful. Theoretically, as long as the god is powerful enough and his divine power is strong enough, he can recreate a main material plane out of thin air, and even rub a new crystal wall system out by hand.
The divine power stored in Lin Xiao's incarnation burned, quickly lifting the ground on the plain, and stretching out a square platform with a diameter of 20 kilometers and a height of 100 meters according to his wishes.
This was just the beginning. Next, four square platforms with a diameter of five kilometers and a height of one hundred meters were stretched out around this central platform.
The reason why they are not pulling up the city wall but directly raising the ground is because the underground people are good at digging holes, and no matter how thick the city wall is, it is easy to destroy it, but such a large whole is not easy to open.
After completing this miraculous project, Lin Xiao's incarnation's divine power was almost exhausted, with only a little over 100,000 divine powers left.
Next, under his guidance, the cavemen moved to this area, and the young cavemen began to dig an underground network around the main terrace, which he named Hope Terrace, and the four surrounding small terraces.
He summoned a large number of earth elements to cooperate with the crypt dwellers, and used the spell of turning fossils into mud to soften some difficult-to-dig places, dig through them, and then solidify them.
Another group of cavemen and another group of earth elements built a stone wall only three meters high and half a meter wide between the four acropolises. Its main function was to block the line of sight and prevent ordinary underground monsters.
The land in the middle will then be reclaimed and crops will be grown using geothermal hot springs from underground.
I don't know if this is a hidden talent of the cavemen. They can accurately find the water storage belts hidden underground and draw water to form small underground ponds. Each caveman tribe is built around a small pond.
Just as Lin Xiao had imagined, with the central highland as the center and the four satellite platforms as the auxiliary, crops are planted in the middle of the five highlands. Once there is danger, they will hide underground inside the central highland and the four satellite platforms.
After observing for half a month, Lin Xiao left the Minotaur to guard the central platform, and he came to a huge stone pillar supporting the earth not far from here. He dug a hole in this stone pillar with a diameter of more than ten kilometers and moved the laboratory back here.
This time he did not study slowly, firstly because it was too time-consuming, and secondly because he did not have enough divine power.
He threw all the genes of various races and the genes of the cavemen that he had saved before into the Cube of Creation for his real body to study. He then took some time to leave and go deeper into the Underdark, to the fourth level of the Underdark.
Hearing that there is a mind flayer kingdom on the fourth layer of the Underdark, he plans to capture some mind flayers to study.
Previous studies have found that even if the Cryptmen are modulated to be more powerful than before, their souls and spirits remain unchanged, and the power of faith they provide remains unchanged.
Without improving wisdom, overall civilization will not improve either, and such a race has limited potential.
He planned to find some mind flayers to study and see if he could improve the intelligence of the third or fourth generation of crypt dwellers. He didn't ask for them to have super high mental power like the mind flayers, but just to improve it a little, even if it would be as stupid as ordinary orcs.
Gathering his divine power, Lin Xiao transformed himself into a pale-faced drow elf.
The extraordinary divine power to change the form of the body can only be seen before, and it cannot change into creatures that have never been seen.
This time he transformed into a very common Drow Rogue, and remained in stealth mode all the way into the third level of the Underdark.
After carefully sensing his surroundings, he walked in one direction. There were signs of a large number of drow elves gathering there. He planned to sneak over there to see if he could ask for the nearby passage leading to the fourth level of the Underdark.
The deeper you go into the Underdark, the fewer passages there are. In addition, in order to reduce the threat from powerful monsters and mind flayers in the fourth layer of the Underdark, the drow elves would artificially destroy some passages. This meant that even for a true god like him, it would take a long time to find a passage.
But as the local boss, Zhuoer must know where there are any navigable underground passages nearby.
This is a small drow city, built next to an underground volcano. The volcano is still very active and has been spewing white smoke. A stream of red lava flows down the edge of the crater to form a lava river. The drow elves built a large forging workshop beside the lava river. Some gray dwarf slaves and troll slaves are scooping lava from the lava river and refining the molten metal to forge weapons.
Lin Xiao appeared in the shadows not far from the city. Before he had time to look around, the dagger in his hand flipped and sparks flew, knocking a small crossbow arrow away. He disappeared in a flash of white mist and reappeared behind a stone pillar more than 20 meters away. He saw a drow girl in black tights lying behind the stone pillar with a look of surprise on her face.
"What a vile race!"
He stretched out his hand and slapped the drow girl, knocking her unconscious, then carried her away.
When the drow girl woke up, her first reaction was to look around with vigilance. She saw another drow man who was concentrating on grilling meat. She moved her body and stabbed the man in the back with a dagger.
"boom!"
A punch came from nowhere and hit the drow girl in the face, and she fell straight down.
Not long after, the girl woke up again and saw the drow man sleeping beside the extinguished fire. She picked up the dagger that had fallen beside her and quietly reached over again. When she let go, a cloud of lime flew out from a distance.
"boom!"
Two teeth mixed with blood spurted out, and the drow girl fell straight down.
When the girl woke up again, the drow man was still sleeping, but she didn't dare to go forward. She picked up the fallen dagger and slowly backed away, preparing to leave.
Just after touching a stone pillar, he paused, slowly turned his head and saw a big fist flying towards him.
"boom!"
Seven or eight bloody teeth flew everywhere, and the drow girl fell straight down.
When the drow girl woke up again, her first reaction was to raise her hands and cry out incoherently:
"Wait, don't hit me."
A fist stopped at her face, and Shao Qing retracted the fist to reveal a drow man. He stared coldly at the drow girl and asked,
"Take me to the nearest passage leading to the fourth floor of the Underdark."
The drow girl covered her swollen face and nodded repeatedly with a sad look on her face.
That's good!
Lin Xiao waved his hand with satisfaction and signaled her to go first.
This is how Zhuoer is. It's hard to talk to them unless they are convinced.
Facts have proved that once they are convinced, the drow are still very obedient. After two days of wandering in the complex and rugged Underdark, the drow girl brought him to a valley blocked by a high wall. She pointed to the wall guarded by the drow army and said,
"The nearest passage to the fourth level of the Underdark is inside."
Lin Xiao sensed carefully and found that there was indeed an aura in there that was different from the third level of the dark area.
With a wave of her hand, the drow girl, who was in great pain all the way, ran away quickly.
Lin Xiao disappeared in a flash. Not long after, the drow girl walked out from the darkness and looked at the distance with a sinister expression:
"This passage leads to the lair of those evil monsters. You will die if you enter it."
"boom!"
A fist landed and knocked the girl to the ground. Lin Xiao slowly emerged and muttered to himself:
"If you do something sneaky, it's definitely not good."
However, the drow girl hid her body and bypassed the city wall to enter the valley. At a glance, she saw a hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters in the center of the huge valley. A breath different from the third layer of the Underdark rushed out of the hollow cave, expelling three layers of air to form a vacuum distortion that ordinary people could not see.
