After a few hours, they dug for about 10 meters and found a cave 100 meters wide. There were many small tunnels connected to this cave, and they looked like rooms. Due to the large gap from above, one third of the cave collapsed.


Zhao Fu found some of the Gnomes trembling in fear with terrified expressions. When the Gnomes saw Zhao Fu and the people he brought with him, they obediently put down their weapons and knelt on the ground, signifying their intention to surrender.


"Dear Lord, thank you for accepting our surrender and coming to our rescue" said one of the old Gnomes with an expression of gratitude.


Zhao Fu was very upset at Gnome, but when he heard what the elder said, he decided to let go. Since they had become his subordinates, he would not oppose him anymore, so he said, "You can all rise up!"


Seeing that Zhao Fu was not angry at them and seemed to have forgiven them for their previous resistance, the Gnomes heaved a sigh of relief and stood up.


Zhao Fu was quite interested in the Gnome barracks, so he went there first. There, he found two Stone Change Profession. They: They:


[Gnome Crossbowmen]: Class F Military. Description: Gnomes that use bow arrows as their main weapon. Effect: Receiving skills [Crossbow Mastery]


The other gave Zhao Fu a very pleasant surprise:


[Gnome Mechanics Scholar]: E grade Military. Description: Gnome is proficient in mechanics. Effect: Receiving skills [Mechanical Research]


This profession was to create great mechanical weapons. The weapon Zhao Fu had always wanted to make was a balista, an extremely powerful cold weapon.


The destructive power of a ballista is more than 10 times that of a normal bow. When facing such a weapon, most people could only retreat respectfully. Although Zhao Fu wanted to create one, all the complicated things in the Heaven Crew World required a blueprint. Even if he knew how to make one in the real world, without the blueprints, he would not be able to make it in Awakening Heaven World.


However, this problem was solved due to the profession of Gnome Mechanical Bachelor. Of course, other than ballistae, there were many other large-scale cold weapons. It is unfortunate that the limit of the Gnome Mechanical Scholar profession is five people.


After looking at the Barracks, Zhao Fu went to their Warehouse. Other than food, the Gnome had copper coins of less than 1,000 and had no silver coins. With a village of this size, it would be extremely difficult for them to kill anything that could drop silver coins.


After walking out of the Warehouse, Zhao Fu looked around the 100-meter-wide cave and said, "This place won't be able to last long, so you have to move on the ground. We'll give you basic protection. "


The Gnome elders immediately agreed happily. How could they resist the opportunity to be protected by people many times stronger than them?


Zhao Fu went to the Gnome Village Village Hall and saw a white cube floating in the air. He reached out and two options appeared: [Destroy] and [Move].


Destroying a village allowed one to earn 10% of the current village EXP, but one would only get the damaged City Heart – white cubes in the air – and it could only be used to raise the level of another village.


Five damaged White-grade City Hearts could upgrade a Normal-grade Village to a Blue; 10 Broken Blue-grade City Hearts could upgrade a Blue-grade Village to a Silver-grade; 30 Silver City Hearts Silver grade could upgrade a Silver grade Village to Gold.


There was no limit to this method of upgrading, and no one knew how high one could raise their village. However, what was certain was that the higher the village level was, the harder it was to raise it. If a Gold-class Village wanted to upgrade it to a Legendary-level Village, it would require 120 broken Gold-class Heart Towns as well as Legendary-grade items.


It's very difficult – after all, Gold grade Village is not as ordinary as cabbage, so most people can only upgrade their village to Gold grade at most. It was almost impossible for them to upgrade to Legendary grade or higher.


Gnome Village was still only the Primer Village, so there was not much to worry about. Zhao Fu decided to [Relocate] that.


The heart of the City shone with a faint white light that covered the entire village, and the basic structure began to slowly disappear.


“System Announcement! Great Qin Village had obtained 120 EXP! "


At this moment, Great Qin Village had accumulated over 1,000 EXP, and that was around 3,000 EXP from ascending to an Intermediate Village. Zhao Fu looked at the Heart of the City, which no longer emitted a white light and instead floated silently there.


Zhao Fu took it and looked at it:


[City Heart]: Level: White, Race Limited To: Gnome


Humans could not use other City Heart races to create villages, nor could races use the City Heart humans to create villages. Moreover, if a village was inhabited by a different race, it would not get any new villagers. Therefore, Zhao Fu always left the race in charge of his village after his village surrendered.


Zhao Fu handed City Heart to the Gnome elders and told them to move closer to Great Qin Village as they rebuilt their village.


After leaving the cave, Zhao Fu and Bai Qi looked around the large crack.


It is about 17 meters deep and about 50 meters deep. Because it's so deep, sunlight doesn't reach the bottom, so it's pretty dark down below. However, they could barely see the neatly arranged path made of bricks.


"What do you think?" Zhao Fu frowned as he asked Bai Qi.


Bai Qi replied with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, I feel that this big gap is not simple."


Zhao Fu was deep in thought. Since this gap was very close to Great Qin Village, if they did not investigate it and there was something dangerous inside, they would not be able to react in time if something happened. Zhao Fu did not want to leave the time bomb by his side, so he said, "I want to go down and see what's down there."


Bai Qi immediately replied anxiously, "Your Majesty! Let me come with you. "


Zhao Fu nodded and told his people to prepare some ropes and torches before he slowly started to descend.


About an hour later, Zhao Fu and Bai Qi arrived at the bottom and found there was a passage made of bricks 10 meters wide and 4 meters high.


It was quite dark, so Zhao Fu and Bai Qi lit their torches and walked towards the passageway. As they walked, their surroundings became increasingly dark. If not for their torches, they would not have been able to see their fingers even if they were right in front of their faces. The silent atmosphere was quiet around them, and the atmosphere became very strange.


Suddenly, creaking and cracking sounds could be heard. Zhao Fu waved his flashlight and looked at the slowly swaying Skeleton Swordsman who had a blue flame tongue on his head and a rusty sword.


The Skeleton Swordsman turned to look at Zhao Fu and Bai Qi with hollow eye sockets and saw that they were two living beings. It howled and raised the sword in its hand as it dashed towards them.
