The new world is still as desolate and silent as the last time Qianye saw it. It took an hour for the 30,000-strong army to march into that brand-new land. Although they selected the strongest warriors and took the blood glands in advance,
, but there are still many soldiers who are not adaptable, and some even die directly.
After sending the soldiers with adverse physical reactions back to the rear, the first thing Qianye did was not rush to send his troops deep. Instead, he ordered the engineers to build fortifications on the high slope in front of the valley, intending to secure the door. On the other hand,
, he dispatched dozens of small-scale troops to conduct reconnaissance in all directions and draw terrain maps simultaneously in order to grasp the surrounding environment and trends at the first time.
Qianye himself and Carol were ready to explore in depth.
The stone platform in the valley remained unchanged and looked like just a pile of stones. After crossing the valley, we reached the area where dark gold sand and gravel mines were discovered. Seeing the vast amounts of dark gold ore, Carol couldn't calm down.
After a brief investigation, Carol believed that this should be a mineral vein, and it was so shallow that the ore was exposed on the surface. Such rich resources can only be found in certain areas of the upper continent of Evernight according to legend.
, all of them are the traditional core territories of the four dark races, but unexpectedly they met at the door of the new world today.
It is conceivable how fierce the competition for territory in the new world will be in the future.
Qianye no longer focused on the mineral veins. He tried to take off. After trying several times, he finally got used to the rules of the force in the new world and rose into the sky with a slight stagger. Viewed from a high place, several branches in the distance could be seen.
Huge stone pillars caught his attention. Those stone pillars were hundreds of meters high. Although the traces of wind and frost were obvious, there were several prisms on the surface, which looked like man-made creations.
On the distant horizon, a touch of blue-green appears. According to the analysis of the Imperial Research Institute, the food of alien beasts should contain a variety of metal components. If this is common, then the plants in the New World will tend to appear dark green and blue.
And dark red and other colors. It is difficult to judge the distance now. Qianye feels that his vision is blurred, maybe quite far away, and he can only vaguely see that it seems to be a forest.
There is a forest, which means a lot of life, and you are more likely to encounter a lot of strange beasts.
While observing, Carol also got used to the operation of the Force under the new rules, and was finally able to safely lift into the sky and come to Qianye's side.
Qianye pointed to the stone pillar in the distance and said, "Let's go there first and take a look."
"good."
Both of them are top experts. They are becoming more and more skilled in mastering the force, and their flying speed is getting faster and faster. By the end, they are almost the same as in the world of eternal night. The distance of tens of kilometers is reached in a blink of an eye, and the two of them are hovering together.
In front of a huge stone pillar.
From a closer look, the appearance of this huge stone pillar is even more impressive. Its diameter is more than ten meters, and there are gaps on the surface. It is obviously made of artificially cut stones. But those stones are too big.
Each piece is several meters square and weighs dozens of tons. It's so huge that I don't know how it was built up.
Qianye flew around the huge stone pillar, then went to the top to observe, but saw nothing. He pondered for a moment, then dug out a stone with his sword, but found nothing. It was just an ordinary rock.
They explored the other stone pillars for a while, but found nothing special. Carol put her hands on the stone pillars, felt them carefully for a while, then turned back and asked, "Did you feel anything?"
"No."
"This stone pillar is wet."
Qianye stretched out his fingers and grabbed a stone from the stone pillar, and looked at it carefully. The surface of the stone was extremely dry, but there was indeed a little moisture inside.
Carol felt it for a moment and said with certainty: "This stone pillar is absorbing the surrounding water vapor and force, and maybe something else."
The air in the new world is humid, but everything is dry. The root cause of this phenomenon is that the Force here absorbs moisture. And this stone pillar can actually absorb the moisture and Force in the air.
Qianye pulled out Dongyue, wielding a sword without a handle. Then he turned his wrist and spun out a small stone core. Nothing could be seen on this stone core, but through the hole, Qianye's true vision could observe the original
Force is flowing underground.
Qianye landed at the base of the stone pillar and said, "Let's dig down and take a look."
Carol and Qianye started digging at a crazy speed, and the ground kept sinking, reaching a depth of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a flash of blue light flashed in front of them, and a cluster of light blue crystals appeared in front of them.
This cluster of crystals was only the size of an arm and was half-buried in the stone pillar. It looked like it was growing there. As soon as it appeared, there was a buzzing sound in Qianye's ears, as if he heard a series of sharp bees.
Carol squatted down, looked at the cluster of crystals carefully, and said, "Is this what the New World will look like after the Force is concentrated?"
There are smoke and clouds swirling inside the crystal, which is extremely gorgeous. Even if it is sealed by the crystal, you can feel the extremely rich breath of the Force inside. Those wisps of smoke are the product of the extreme concentration of the Force in the New World.
Qianye suddenly felt something in his heart. He pulled Carol up and said, "Something is coming."
The two people jumped into the air and rushed to the top of the stone pillar in an instant, standing on it.
I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and more than a dozen strange beasts were flying towards me. These strange beasts were large and small, with different types. They rushed straight under the stone pillars, and when they saw the crystals in the pit, they immediately pounced on them like crazy.
Go in. As soon as the first strange beast jumped into the pit, its hind legs were bitten by another strange beast, and it was violently thrown out of the pit.
The bite was so severe that it directly bit off the hind legs of the alien beast. When the other alien beasts saw that their companion was injured, they all went crazy and swarmed up, tearing it into pieces in the blink of an eye. After seeing the blood, the alien beast
The beasts could no longer hold back and began to fight each other, rolling and rolling in the fight. In a blink of an eye, they were all dead and wounded. Only the strongest one was left standing, but it was also covered with wounds.
This strange beast is shaped like a liger, with six legs, and a long and powerful tail with several bone spurs. It is about several meters tall, and it is definitely a giant beast by Yongye standards, but it can be seen in Qianye
Among the alien beast army, it can only be regarded as about average.
It jumped into the deep pit, bit off the cluster of blue crystals, chewed it several times, and swallowed it. After the crystals entered its belly, the strange beast staggered as if it was drunk, and barely jumped out of the pit.
, it fell to the ground as soon as it opened its front legs, and then rolled around and growled in pain. The surface of its body kept rising and falling, as if there were many small animals burrowing under the skin.
In the blink of an eye, the skin and flesh on the alien beast's body cracked, bone spurs protruded out, and pieces of bone scales emerged from under the skin, cutting the animal's skin until it was bloody. Along with these changes, its size also continued to grow.
, it continued to increase by a small half before stopping. As the size became larger, the alien beast appeared to be skinny. It barely supported its body, staggered to crawl to the corpses of other alien beasts, and began to devour them desperately.
This strange beast has rows of sword-like spurs growing from its head to its tail, and bone scales are growing on its vital parts such as its shoulders, back and buttocks, showing that its offense and defense have reached a new level. After the changes in its body became relatively stable, it suddenly raised its head, Looking at Qianye and Carol at the top of the stone pillar, there were obvious changes in emotions in their eyes.
If just a moment ago it was a beast acting on instinct, then at this moment, it became an intelligent creature.
Seeing the changes in the alien beasts, Qianye raised his eyebrows and said: "It turns out that this is how the commanders in the alien beast army came to be."
In the Alien Beast Legion, there is not only a clear division of labor among the various alien beasts, but also a clear hierarchy. Some alien beasts are obviously larger and more powerful than the same race, and even have significant differences in appearance. This six-legged leopard and With strength and speed, they are one of the main forces in ground attacks, and their commander is the six-legged armored beast in front of them that grows bone spurs, scales, and is enlightened with wisdom.
The six-legged armored beast on the ground stared at Qianye, backed away slowly, then suddenly turned around and ran away.
How could Qianye let it escape? The figure flashed in front of the armored beast. Dongyue swung out and slapped it hard on the back. The blow was faster than lightning. The armored beast had no room to dodge. It was hit by the heavy sword. He fell to the ground under pressure.
Qianye only used the back of his sword to hit it. He saw that it had gained wisdom and planned to surrender. However, even though it was suppressed by absolute power, the armored beast still struggled desperately, preferring death to surrender. The two sides were in a stalemate. After a while, Qianye had no choice but to cut off its neck bone with a sword.
Qianye and Carol returned to the stone pillar and started digging. Sure enough, they saw several clusters of crystals. Some of the crystals were large, some were small, and some of them had just sprouted.
After inspection, Qianye carefully removed the three largest clusters of crystals and put them into Anduya's space. These crystals can unlock the wisdom of beasts, which is really extraordinary. Qianye plans to send them to Zhao Jundu to study them with the help of the empire.
At this moment, a small thing suddenly moved in the corner of Andua's space, and immediately sent out waves of strong fluctuations, impacting Qianye's consciousness.
Qianye was startled, and his consciousness quickly swept over, but he had to think about it before he remembered what the small stone-like thing was. It was a female insect he had encountered in the maelstrom. It never moved again and was always in a dormant state. Unexpectedly, at this moment, it suddenly woke up.
Qianye took out the female insect, and as soon as it left Anduya's space, it suddenly attacked and bit Qianye's finger. The insect was not big, but its bite force was extremely powerful, and it directly tore the skin of the finger.
He didn't expect this little thing to be so powerful just after it could move. Qianye was caught off guard by the pain, and his fingers loosened. The insect flew away, pounced on the crystals of the stone pillars below, and chewed and devoured them. Those solid crystals, It chewed it like a jelly bean in its mouth.
In the blink of an eye, a crystal larger than its body was swallowed clean. I don’t know how its belly is so long that it can hold such a big thing.
After eating the entire crystal, the zerg spins out a large ball of white silk, forms a cocoon, and wraps itself in it.
Qianye smiled bitterly and looked up at Carol. The latter was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that living creatures could be placed in this kind of space device. The two briefly exchanged a few words and decided not to move the cocoon. Wait, there is precedent for alien beasts, and the mutation process of this little bug will not be too slow.
Not long after, the cocoon was bitten open, and a giant insect that was covered in armor and about the length of an arm emerged from the cocoon. It raised its head and looked at Qianye at the first glance. From those compound eyes, there was actually a look of anger.
kind of closeness.
It opened its back armor, stretched out its two pairs of wings, soared into the sky, and pounced on Qianye like lightning!
Carol was startled and wanted to block it with a whip, but Qianye raised his hand and pressed down the tip of the thunder whip. In this little gap, the zerg had already pounced on Qianye!
However, it did not bite him. Instead, it quickly crawled along Qianye's body and onto his shoulder, where it stopped and kept touching Qianye with its short beard, looking very intimate.
Carol was very surprised and said: "Is it because it drank your blood?"
"Maybe, my bloodline is special, and it also unlocks wisdom, so they probably regard me as a relative."
"This little guy looks pretty good, but I don't know if it's powerful or not." Carol looked at the zerg, a little afraid to reach out and touch it. She was a girl after all, and she still felt a little worried when she saw such a big bug.
hairy.
The zerg seemed to understand Carol's words, and let out a short chirp, soared into the air, and rushed towards a corpse of an alien beast like lightning. There was only a muffled sound as it crashed into the side of the alien beast's head.
, and then passed out from the other side. The whole process was like a large-caliber high-level Force sniper rifle, which was fired against the head of the alien beast.
PS: I accidentally locked myself in a dark room and crawled out after finishing two updates.
