Chapter 734: Old blind

The stratum structure of this valley is very special.
For example, like an egg, there is only a thin layer of sand and rock in the outer shell, and thick ice inside.
The war lizard miners dig down from the surface for about 10 yards, then cut through the thin layer of rock and soil, and continue to dig deeper, and all the ice is excavated!
How thick is the underground ice?
Judging from the hydrographic maps generated by the navigation compass, I am afraid that it is not less than two or three hundred yards!
Ice cubes of such a large size are like a deep-buried glacier. How did they come about?
Joan can only think of one possibility for the time being.
Below the valley, there was originally an underground lake. Later, due to crustal changes or some supernatural factors, the temperature of the ground fell sharply, and the entire underground lake was frozen into a huge block of ice.
The lake water condenses into ice, the density decreases, and the volume increases.
The rapidly expanding body of water (ice cubes) squeezes the rock and soil layer, forcing the surface to bulge, thus forming the hill where Joan and his companions are now standing.
The "orogenic movement" that occurs in the underground world is very similar to similar natural phenomena in the surface world!
As for the deep valley below the hill, it is actually a crack formed by the expansion of the ice to break the rock and soil layer.
Having figured out the cause of the local abnormal geographic environment, Joanne still has two questions.
First of all, he would like to know why the groundwater body condenses into ice, where is the source of the low temperature?
Secondly, he did not understand why the war lizards worked hard to dig tunnels and dig ice.
Could it be said that inside this huge ice body, some kind of treasure was sealed, inducing the war lizard people to spare no effort to dig deeper?
Joan thought more and more curious, and decided to see the excavation site at the end of the tunnel with his own eyes. Perhaps he could find answers to the above two questions.
Thinking this way, Joan inspired today's last "Eagle Eyes" to stick to the end of the tunnel and create a third magical observation point.
Closing his eyes and holding his breath for a few seconds, Qiao An slowly opened his eyes, and the angle of view has jumped from the second observation point to the third observation point just created.
The environment here is similar to the location of the second observation point, surrounded by thick ice.
The tunnel here has just been excavated, and the ground is still covered with thick broken ice residue.
A group of war lizard miners are shoveling the broken ice piled on the ground with simple tools and put them into a large wooden box. When they are full, they are dragged out and emptied to ensure the smoothness of the tunnel.
In this busy field, Joan noticed two unusual figures.
One of them also looks like a war lizard, and it is the only one who does not need to work among all the people present.
The war lizard bowed and hunched, sometimes coughing twice, the scales on his body were dull, and some had even peeled off, giving the impression of aging.
This elderly war lizard man holds a cane carved out of obsidian, with a honey-colored amber ball in the head.
Joan noticed that there seemed to be a shadow in the amber ball. After careful observation, he confirmed that a prehistoric hymenoptera was enclosed in the amber ball on the stick. It looked a bit like a locust...Accurately, it should be the ancestor of the locust. ?
A natural amber ball as big as a fist, worth not less than two thousand gold Durga, and not just an ornament.
Joan vaguely felt that the obsidian stick in the hands of the old War Lizard exuded magical waves.
Unsurprisingly, it should be a magic wand!
The clothes of the old war lizard are also very chic.
A robe sewed with animal skin is decent in terms of the skill of the war lizard. Only the prestigious elders in the ethnic group are worthy of this carefully sewed robe.
Even more rare is that the robe is even decorated with colored thread embroidery!
After some careful observation, Joan discovered that the old war lizard's robe was embroidered with many vivid red-headed centipedes, each of which was as big as a slap. With the old man's every move, the big centipedes embroidered on the leather robe seemed to crawl and wriggle.
Normal people, will the centipede be embroidered on the coat?
Joan secretly wondered.
Not to mention the strange aesthetic taste of this old man, those lively and flexible centipede embroidery can be more than decorations!
The distribution probability of the magic net around the old war lizard is obviously abnormal, which can be seen that it is distorted by the centipede robe.
Joan was sure that a certain spell was attached to the robe. It's a pity that the distance is too far, and he can't discern the specific spell enchanted.
An elderly war lizard man, armed with a magic wand and wearing a robe, patrols the underground pits in an arrogant manner. None of the busy War Lizards dared to look up at him.
There are various indications that this old guy is very respected in the war lizard group, and is likely to be the dominant figure in the tribe, such as the big shaman or the big elder.
The "magic alarm" in the Warrior's nursery, and the enchantment at the entrance of the mine pit are also supposed to be set by this person.
From the perspective of Joan, only the profile of the old war lizard can be seen.
While he was guessing the identity of the other party, the old war lizard seemed to perceive something, and suddenly turned around, looking up at the observation point set by Joan.
Joan was shocked when he saw this, and almost immediately fled the observation point.
However, at this moment, he noticed that there was no light in the eye sockets of the old war lizard, and the two eyes were gray and turbid, as if covered with a thick white film.
It turned out to be an old blind man!
Joan's tight heartstrings eased slightly, keeping her perspective at the current observation point, and seeing what the old blind man would do next.
The old war lizard apparently suffered from severe eye diseases and almost completely lost his sight.
He looked up at the shadow of the observation point, frowning slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.
It seemed like suspicious signs were found, but they were not so sure.
After a short wait and see, the old blind man turned his head back, seemingly dispelling his suspicions.
Seeing this scene, Joan took a sigh of relief and felt safe.
At this moment, the old blind man walked towards the end of the tunnel.
At the deepest part of the work site, there is a huge black shadow lying on the ground, digging into the ice.
Just from the other person's back, Joanne couldn't see what monster he was.
But one thing is certain-this guy is simply an efficient digging machine!
It was lying alone in the depths of the pit and digging, continually throwing large chunks of broken ice.
More than ten war lizard miners followed behind his to clean up the crushed ice, and he carried the crushed ice out of the basket, so busy that he could not touch the ground.
That's it. They couldn't keep up with the monster's digging speed.
The monster had to suspend excavation, waiting for the war lizard to clean up the accumulated ice.
The old blind man walked slowly behind the ice-digging monster, waved his wand and knocked twice on its back.
The monster turned slowly, lowered his head and leaned in front of the old blind man, as if listening to his orders.
The old blind man whispered in the ear of the monster, turned his head to the location of the observation point of "Eagle Eyes" with his obsidian wand, and then led it over.
