After swinging the sword, Yin En's legs went weak. If he hadn't held the sword in his hand, he might have fallen into the psychic brain beneath his feet.
Although there is still essence in his body that continues to be transmitted from the core of the ancient dragon, this time, it is not that he is weak without the essence, but that his body is weak because he cannot withstand such a high-intensity and long-term battle.
Nearly three days have passed since entering the ruins. Yin En has been fighting almost the entire process, and he only slept for three hours. He may have used more source of energy than Patrick, a second-level powerhouse.
Although frequent use of the essence is the best way to enhance the body's adaptability to the essence, Yin En's exercise was overdone this time.
It even gave him the illusion that his blood vessels and muscles were burning.
Maybe it's not an illusion.
The damage caused to the body by the continuous movement of high-concentration source matter is indeed no different from that of fire. You can only rely on time to slowly adapt to it, or you can directly increase the basic physical quality like a sand armor apprentice, which can also speed up the adaptation.
Speed, but still not exempt from this pain.
"...It should have been completely killed."
After waiting for several minutes, Yin En returned the body of 'Esencema twitching' and 'Esencema paralysis' to normal... This feeling is more terrifying than muscle twitching caused by excessive exercise, and it will cause the body's sesame to be temporarily disordered, although it is not that serious.
You can't use any strength, but you will feel the feeling of being pulled by the numb ulnar nerve groove all over your body.
Standing up straight, Yin En stared at the remains of the Hive Mind in front of him. After confirming that the opponent was completely dead, and even his spiritual energy was reduced to fragments, he took a deep breath: "It is obviously the first energy level, but it is higher than the average level.
The second level is harder to deal with... This is the power of advanced monsters and aliens."
"Even though it's not a mature body yet, it's just a newborn, but it's still powerful."
He shook his head and walked forward.
Because of the highly corrosive psychic slurry, Yin En's clothes were a little brittle, so his vest was modified by Hilliard from a dragonskin cloak, so it remained intact.
Although the other clothes were made of highly resistant materials due to alchemy experiments, they were not particularly expensive fabrics after all, so they were still somewhat damaged.
On the contrary, Yin En's skin did not suffer any damage because of the extremely high corrosion resistance bonus brought by the pure rock crystal bone.
But if it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid the surface of the body would have turned into charcoal long ago.
Yin En noticed that the psychic slurry on the ground was still squirming. Although the hive mind was dead, the flesh and blood cocoons had not completely lost their activity.
Even the flesh-and-blood humanoids that were knocked down before were still squirming.
In order to avoid accidents, Yin En thought for a while and separated some of the blood that Isengard gave him and poured it into the flesh and blood slurry - the blood of the Corroded Dragon spread to everywhere in an instant, black silk threads
The structure is violently eroded, consuming the vitality of the flesh and blood of these hives, and transforming into masses of dark corrosion fire burning on the surface of the blood.
If the parasitism of the Brain-eating Insects is biased towards corroding the physical body and spiritual energy, then the erosion of the Corroding Light Refining Dragon is biased towards the source of matter itself.
The two directions are completely different, but they can complement each other.
Looking at the black fireworks ignited on the surface of the insect nest's flesh, Yin Enruo nodded: "Essence, spiritual energy... what is the boundary between the two?"
"The natural spiritual energy field can induce changes in the source matter, and the element crystals produced when the source matter is condensed to the extreme can also be transformed into space bubbles through special processing, and then gather natural spiritual energy... not to mention the third energy level.
'Life energy', the relationship between the two can even be said to be the origin, and it should be possible to trace back to the same source."
"Spiritual energy and source matter should be the high-level differentiation of some lower-level things."
With this topic in his mind, Yin En put it aside for the time being and continued to move forward.
His target is the source of the flesh and blood cocoon, the thing in the deepest part of the nest.
The ‘armor’ that is the source of the insect nest.
Because the Hive Mind dissipated, even the fluorescence of the surrounding crystals became a little dim, but Yin En could still clearly see the human skeleton in the medium-to-large armor that was about 5.5 meters tall.
The average armor is more than four meters high, but the etheric weapons may be smaller, and the ancient armors of pre-era civilizations also have different sizes according to different needs.
This one is considered medium-sized, but because it is damaged, it is not clear how big it was when it was intact.
The human skeletons are probably the remains of the Great Elder Sequoia.
His physical death gave birth to the origin of the Hive Mind.
The Aether Furnace Core and Moran Living Steel contained in the armor gradually evolved into the entire insect nest.
——Is this calculated long ago, or is it a coincidence?
Yin En didn't know, maybe that desperate man even thought of his own death as part of his plan.
but now……
"Moraine steel of such high purity?"
Climbing to the gap in the armor, Yin En reached out to the inside of the armor with some curiosity. He saw the pure cyan mist: "Before, I was covered by the fluorescent green halo of the crystal and attracted by the Hive Will.
I didn’t notice the cyan haze here.”
Katsa.
With a crisp sound like glass breaking, a prismatic translucent silver crystal about the length of Yin En's arm was held in his hand and taken out from the damaged part of the armor.
This is exactly a piece of high-purity living metal, Moraine steel.
It is embedded in the center of various strange crystals in the armor, wrapped in a strange metal colloid, extending continuously outwards, controlling the surrounding rocks and metals, and spreading in accordance with the will of the insect nest... but it itself is...
Continuously shrinking, purifying, and being tempered by spiritual energy, it has become the core of the 'small maze' that is the insect nest.
Perhaps, this is the reason why most of the centers deep in the maze have Morian steel... Because in a sense, it is a system that can automatically generate mazes, repair damaged structures, and maintain giant buildings for a long time.
Automatic repair machine!
Of course, for the current continent of Terra, Morien Steel is an extremely rare psychic metal.
It was extremely strong. Yin En felt that the hardness of the opponent was almost the same as the Chongyuan Iron Sword in his hand, but it lacked toughness and was too brittle.
But this is only a characteristic of non-psykers and those ascended below the third level.
When a psyker, or an Ascended One above the third level, uses his or her own psychic powers to guide Moran Steel, the living metal will be shaped into the shape they want - even if it is mixed with a portion of Moran Steel.
Ryan Steel's alloy weapons and armor also have the ability to slowly adapt to the transformation of the holder.
This characteristic is extremely popular whether it is used for casting weapons and equipment or for use in various industrial production and scientific research. Therefore, most of the time, Morian steel is priceless.
But now, Yin En's hand is holding a living metal prism weighing more than ten kilograms.
"99.99% pure?"
Using the silver chip to scan, Yin En couldn't help but watch in amazement as there was even a hint of silvery living metal in his hand: "Is it the result of being purified by the Hive Mind's psychic energy over the years? No wonder the precognitive vision is pure cyan.
…even bring a little silver!”
Over the years, Yin En has gained a lot of knowledge through appraisal work, and Yin En has finally summarized the various mist in his precognitive vision.
Gray and white correspond to ordinary people. Blue and purple correspond to the first and second energy levels. These are the colors that can be seen on the continent of Terra most of the time.
When it comes to green, which corresponds to the third energy level, it is an extremely rare thing. Many of the materials, heroes and monsters that appear in heroic stories and knight novels are actually the third energy level, such as fine gold that is not very pure.
Mithril is this level.
As for the fourth level of ‘silver’…
"This is the second time I've seen it in so many years."
Yin En was a little emotional. The last time he saw silver, he was taken by Viscount Grant to see the core components of the new alchemical cannon three years ago. There was a special adamantine alloy on the base as the base for the inscription.
The color it presents is just like the Moraine steel in front of you, which is pure green and silvery.
As for gold, there is no need to talk much... Whether it is Teacher Hilliard or the destiny of the Hive Mind, they are extraordinary individuals and choices that can cause huge changes to the entire continent of Terra. Simple items
This level is impossible.
Rainbow colors……
Yin En shook his head, he no longer thought too much.
Before figuring out the true origin of the silver chip, it is meaningless to speculate on the meaning of the rainbow color.
But at least, rainbow-colored things have more power than gold.
The potential it contains can definitely have a profound impact on all living beings on the entire continent of Terra.
"Just thinking about it, will it change?"
Activating his spiritual power, Yin En stared at the Moran Steel in front of him with his precognitive vision, and then imagined it transforming.
Immediately, this extremely strong living metal actually followed Yin En's precognitive spiritual guidance that theoretically had no direct influence on reality, and gradually surrounded the young man's right hand, forming a shape similar to an arm guard.
Convenient to carry it.
At this moment.
The female insects in the outside world have been defeated by the Hive Mind and fell into final madness.
The crystal carapace on its body was intertwined with flashes of silver-blue and fluorescent green, and it controlled electromagnetism and radiation to launch a life-or-death attack on the Ether Crystal Dragon and the White Mist Bishop.
But this is the final madness, and everyone knows it, so the etheric crystal dragon, which is also seriously injured, and the bishop who is waiting in full swing, all adopt the most complete defense to block the other side, preventing the mother insect from going to the insect nest.
They are going to use this simplest and safest method to survive the madness of the female insect until it dies.
At the same time, Yin En, who knew that the situation was urgent and did not stop, came to Patrick, who was already awake and now about to die.
