"I am Pioneer Dilex, requesting the next step of instruction."

"Execute~~~~~"

Rosen took his time to respond.

"Please send the execution key."

Rosen started to make up a secret key, and he made it very long.

Taking advantage of this time, he followed the direction of the soul breath and used the legendary transformation technique to dig deep underground.

He knew very well that if he wanted to conduct an in-depth study of this intelligent puppet, it would not be enough to rely solely on a few words of communication.

The best way is to find the real body of the intelligent puppet.

Of course, although following the soul's breath is feasible, it is difficult to implement.

Because the retreat path of the soul breath is not a straight line, but an irregular curve.

The reason for this is probably to penetrate the barrier of thick soil, just like lightning naturally moves in a zigzag pattern in the air.

This meant that Rosen was unable to use the extended line method for precise positioning and could only communicate while digging holes.

Fortunately, Legend 17's transformation is very efficient and can move 10 meters in one second.

Rosen estimated that he should get the results soon.

After digging for about 20 seconds, a message came to my mind: "The key input has timed out, please re-enter."

Rosen re-entered the number, and it was still an astonishingly long string of numbers.

After another 15 seconds of digging, I heard another response: "The key input has timed out, please re-enter."

By repeating this cycle, you will always receive guidance from the power of your soul.

Of course, the bug is not so easy to fix, it will only happen three times at most.

After three times, which took less than a minute in total, Rosen heard a voice in his mind.

"After multiple failed key inputs, the key system has been temporarily locked for 24 hours."

Then, the soul of the pioneer Diax shrank back into the depths of the earth like lightning, and remained silent no matter how Rosen summoned him.

What to do next? Of course, you can only wait for it to be unlocked.

Rosen sighed secretly.

"I never thought that after arriving in another world, I would encounter the problem of being locked by password."

Of course not just waiting.

After returning to the secret room, Rosen began to study the underground phase transmission rune coordinates shared by Dora.

After figuring it out, he directly created a large phase transmission rune about 1,500 meters underground, directly connecting the secret room he was in and the underground laboratory of Swan Castle.

Then, he kept traveling back and forth between the two places, bringing back all kinds of magical supplies.

After most of the supplies were brought in, they began to build a secret large-scale elemental projection chamber a thousand meters underground in Atlasen.

Once the transformation is completed, Rosen will be able to teleport all kinds of fun stuff to the heart of the Holy Elf Empire.

Next, Rosen waited 24 hours, dug for about 1 minute, and repeated this cycle over and over again.

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed.

The bad news is that Rosen has dug 4,000 meters underground, but still has not encountered the Pioneer itself.

There is also a lot of good news.

The first good news is that the soul breath from the pioneers has become much stronger, which shows that the general direction of excavation is correct.

The second good news is that the Salvation Cult is developing rapidly, spreading among the underground Hare Society at the speed of a flash flood.

In just ten days, the number of believers exceeded ten thousand, and was still increasing rapidly, at an increasingly rapid rate, like a nuclear chain reaction.

The third good news is that a large-scale elemental projection chamber has been built, and a large number of war weapons suitable for the national conditions of the Elf Empire have been accumulated.

It's time to start arming the Hare Society.

Stretching, Rosen used the channel of faith to summon the banshee Lisha and her husband Rex.

Because the couple are naturally devout believers of the Salvation God Church.

After a while, the couple arrived together.

Lisha was originally a 9th-ring warrior, a top elite among the elves. Plus, they had a previous friendship, so Rosen naturally wouldn't waste it and used the tree branch of life to carefully repair her damaged soul.

As he repaired it, he responded to her call of the wild, while listening to Rex's report on the situation on the ground.

Rex was absolutely obedient to Rosen.

He originally hoped that Rosen could be gentler, but what shocked him was that it was not that Rosen did not want to be gentle, but that his wife liked to be treated roughly.

This made him feel very complicated.

Of course, these are just minor details and do not affect the main business.

"Saint, the Lord of the Void has already noticed the changes underground. There are spies entering the Glimmering City under various pretexts."

"I think that conflict will soon break out and we will need to form an armed force belonging to the Hare Society."

Lisha's soul has been repaired by Rosen to the peak of the 8th ring. Another day of repair will return her to the 9th ring. She is in very good condition now and has a strong desire to fight: "Saint, the Hare Club is not short of outstanding warriors. With just one order from you, we can immediately form a powerful Glimmer Guard."

"You are right. I believe you have sufficient combat experience, but forming a guard team requires a large amount of weapons and equipment. Are you prepared?"

Rex thought: "We have insiders in all the major elf legions, and many of them are high-ranking officials in the military. We can use this relationship to obtain a large amount of equipment from the military."

Lisha also nodded repeatedly, but because of the call of the wild, her movements were a little frantic.

Rosen had different ideas.

"I have investigated the weapons and equipment of the ground army, and I have also witnessed the combat performance of the elves in the Battle of the Dragon Islands."

"Honestly, the elves are brave, but their battle gear isn't very good. Of course, it's better than nothing."

"So, my idea is to build the traditional Glimmer Guard while also adding a new combat force."

"For this purpose, I used my divine power to specially create a batch of war fruits to cooperate with the Glimmer Guards in the underground battle."

As he spoke, he pouted at Rex angrily and said, "The fruit is piled in the secret room over there. I call it the Black Gold Fighting Tree Demon. Go and get it out."

Rex did as he was told.

Soon, he brought out a wooden box. After opening the lid, he found fruits inside. They were about the size of an adult's fist. The outer shell was black gold with a large number of silver runes engraved on it.

A box contains 100 fruits, neatly arranged in a wooden grid.

"This is the fruit of the black gold battle tree demon. There are currently 10,000 of them, and there will be more in the future."

"Plant them at the main traffic arteries of the Glimmering City. They will grow into powerful black-gold combat tree monsters in a short period of time."

"The tree demons possess legendary powers. Their main bodies are hidden deep in the soil. Their weapons are fireproof and extremely hard, and they have thorny vines with various means of attack."

Rex was also a soldier. He knew as soon as he heard it that this kind of thing was particularly suitable for underground combat, so he quickly asked: "Saint, what are the specific attack methods?"

"It can spit out hard stones of legendary power at high speed, or condense ultra-high-energy light, or transform itself into a piercing spear, a long whip, or a defensive vine shield."

"Each Glimmer Guard, relying on the Dryads to fight, is able to easily resist invasions from the ground."

So, where do these black gold battle tree demons get their power? Of course, it comes from the Eternal Heart newly installed in the underground secret room by Rosen through ghost resonance.

The couple didn't know the inside story, but they felt it was very powerful just by listening to it, so they praised him loudly and called him a great savior.

At this time, Rosen finished the soul healing for Lisha, allowing her power to return to the 9th ring.

Then, she took out a level 3 golden erudite magic weapon and put it on her.

"Lisha, from now on, you are the Golden Battle Bishop of the Salvation Cult, responsible for forming the Glimmer Guard."

Lisha fell to her knees excitedly: "As you wish, Saint."

Rosen took out another level 2 orange-red erudite magic weapon.

"Rex, you are now the Red Bishop. Your duty is to cooperate with Lisha and plant the Dryad Fruits where needed. If a battle occurs and some Dryads are damaged, they must be replanted in time."

"I have engraved the specific method of planting the tree demon on the inside of the bishop's forehead ornament. You must follow it meticulously."

"Yes, Saint."

Rex was also very excited.

After the two men left, it was time for another day of digging.

Rosen continued to dig.

At a depth of four thousand meters underground, the situation is already quite complicated.

So Rosen slowed down his digging and took protective measures.

The digging took another half a month.

On average, they dig 300 meters down every day, and combined with the previous digging depth, it is now close to 10,000 meters.

On this day, after Rosen had dug down for about twenty seconds, he suddenly felt the temperature in the tunnel begin to rise significantly.

After digging another ten meters, the bottom of the passage suddenly broke open, and extremely high-pressure groundwater continued to gush out from the bottom.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~~~"

The temperature was also very high! In a blink of an eye, the underground passage was filled with a large amount of bubbling high-temperature groundwater.

If it were an ordinary person, his flesh and bones would be separated by the high-temperature steam in an instant, and even a legendary strong man would not be able to withstand it for too long.

But Rosen was well prepared. He relied on the Heart of Eternity to power his spells, so he could easily withstand the high-temperature water flow.

Not only did he resist the high-temperature water flow, he also blocked the back route of the passage to prevent the underground water from gushing out along the passage behind him.

Afterwards, he greatly strengthened the defensive spell barrier on his body and cast the underwater breathing technique. After making sure everything was safe, he continued digging in the direction of the water flow.

As they were digging, they heard a loud "crash" and the wall of the passage was completely shattered.

Then, Rosen discovered an extremely huge underground hole in front of him.

The hole is estimated to be several kilometers in size and is filled with high-temperature and high-pressure water, as well as a flickering golden light.

At the same time, the soul aura of the pioneer Dilex became very, very strong and never disappeared again.

Rosen immediately realized: "The pioneer's body is in this underground water cavity nearly ten thousand meters below the ground!"
