Chapter 712 The Great Crisis of the Pioneers (Cavens Small Chapter)
"Is it the Ancestral Dragon? Or is it other second-generation true dragons? Well, it doesn't feel like it. It is the power of multiple fires gathered into one, or it not only uses the technology of true dragons, but also uses the technology of other civilizations.
?」
Ian is just making a pure guess. Before the future actually arrives, it will be difficult for him to figure out the truth of his prediction.
This is also the reason why the prophetic poems are always unclear, because they themselves don't know it clearly.
After a few guesses in his mind, Ian finally bowed his head and stopped thinking.
He raised his head and looked at Xio: "You have the potential to advance to the Dragon of the Void Realm. This is a glimpse of the future that I have glimpsed. If you don't mind, you can work hard in this area. You can also ask your mother about your generation.
What method does a true dragon rely on to break through the fourth energy level?"
Even for a true dragon, wanting to break through to the fourth energy level is not something that comes naturally as one grows up. The wrong steel dragon had grown up under the strict training of his mentor for a long time, and finally succeeded in advancing around the earth's core fragments.
It sounds simple, but it is actually a very difficult ritual.
"Yeah. I think I'm quite suitable." Xio also felt that she was very suitable for this inheritance, but she was still a little angry: "However, I heard from my mother that if our generation of true dragons can rely on their own strength to break through
The limit of bloodline, the ability to master one's own power, will have greater potential than their generation - but to be honest, I don't quite understand it."
Shaking her head slightly, the red-haired dragon girl lay on the sofa in her laboratory, shook her head and sighed: "Mother, the true dragons of our generation are already so powerful, and they are not far away from the fifth energy level. They have great potential.
If we are bigger than them, how big can we be?"
"I don't think my strength can grow faster than my mother's. Rather, I'm very happy if I can exercise normally."
And Ian wrote down what Xio said about "breaking through the bloodline limit". This is obviously a secret about the true dragon, and the true dragon has indeed researched on the specialness of his bloodline.
The reason why Ian is so concerned about Xio and the virtual realm dragon "advancement" is actually because he has quite a lot of plans to unfold in the virtual realm in the future.
At that time, if it was just you and the goblin, it might be a little tricky to face the unpredictable environment of the virtual world.
But if there is a help from a Void Realm dragon that can treat Void Realm as its own home, then maybe many things will be much easier.
After bidding farewell to Xio, Ian, who returned to Xiahui City, was also preparing to launch his follow-up research plan.
"Pilot of Artificial Soul, and "Experience of the Death King's Psychic Grant"."
In the quiet laboratory, Ian stared at his hands. He slowly closed his eyes, lay on the specially made diving chair, and sank into a virtual state: "There are still many things to do."
"But everything is done in an orderly and step-by-step manner.
With such a stable mood, Ian's soul disappeared into the void.
And reality.
Nanling, the swampland in the northwest of Baisen Mountains.
After working hard for nearly a month, Miles couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment when he looked at the black land in front of him that had been mostly drained of water.
Miles was still a little scared since he followed the Chongling Cult led by Xia Hui to open up wasteland deep in the Baisen Mountains and directly came to the Great Swamp area in the northwest.
…
After all, sending people directly to the Black Swamp looks like some kind of ancient and primitive sacrificial ritual, where people are thrown into the swamp to sacrifice!
However, this fear quickly subsided, because the person in charge of land reclamation of the Chongling Sect prepared full-body protective clothing for each of them, which can withstand the vicious local mosquitoes and poisonous gas harassment, and their task is to dig ditches for drainage.
Miles is a strong laborer, and he is also a rare person among all the recruited pioneers who is physically strong and has a certain degree of force, so he is allowed to wear a sword and block the beasts and monsters pouring out of the swamp at the critical moment, waiting for the Chongling Cult.
Arrival of volunteers with mountain people.
Every day for breakfast and lunch, he eats a large piece of meat more than others.
But apart from that, his job is to work with other people
the same.
Opening up wasteland is essentially the hardest labor. There is not only swamp in the swamp, but also many trees, tangled grass, and vines. There are also some big rocks in the rotten soil, and the wasteland outside the swamp is also full of
Weeds and rocks, in order to sort out a piece of land that can be cultivated, a lot of preliminary preparations need to be done.
If it is just a family clearing land in the wilderness, then it may take a lifetime and two generations to cultivate a piece of land that can support themselves. However, if there are tools, organization, and support behind the land clearing, the efficiency will be much higher.
.
Miles even saw several seemingly advanced power armors that often entered and exited the depths of the Black Swamp. They were said to be magnetic storm armors sent by the lords of the Xiahui Territory to exterminate and expel local monsters. The silt of the swamp was harmful to them.
It seems as if it doesn't exist.
In the dense forest outside the swamp, the trees were uprooted, and the thick rotten leaves began to burn under the burning of the flying electric current, turning into fertilizer in the strong black smoke and fierce flames.
Several giant Beisen oxen used huge wide plows to plow the land deeply, removing the remaining tree roots and rocks, and mixing plant ash with the soil.
"There is no way to build a farm building here for the time being. In recent years, traditional farming has still been carried out. The gathering place has begun to take shape. Everyone is working hard and no one is lazy."
This is what Myers occasionally heard from the leader of the Chongling Sect and the report from above. He really didn’t know what the agricultural building was, but it was obvious that the Chongling Sect had far-reaching plans for this land.
For the refugees and pioneers, this is more reassuring than anything else.
The northwest wasteland swamp is divided into three large areas, and each large area is divided into three small areas. Each area has a gathering place. The origins of the people in each gathering place are different, and some are attracted by propaganda.
Some of the pioneers are relatively innocent civilians among the rebellious mountain people, and some are poor tribes living in the local area.
Miles is in the first area, which is also the area closest to the Black Swamp. It is also the place where you are most likely to be attacked by Warcraft beasts, but it is also the place with the most generous rewards.
In just one month, with borrowed tools and abundant resources, Miles built a small cabin for himself and Cynthia. The work was reasonable and the workmanship was excellent. The person in charge of the gathering place even exclaimed when he saw it, saying that he should
It is truly a natural woodworking material.
…
Of course, swordsmanship can also be used in carpentry! And there are too many good carpenters in Azure City. Among other things, Uncle Da'an also taught me some basics back then, and he can learn it no matter what he does.
When he thought of this, Miles couldn't help but be silent for a while. The Azure City has disappeared, and Uncle Da'an also died in front of him. But he will not be discouraged or stop. He will use his own hands here to fight for himself and his family.
Cynthia creates a new future.
Cynthia has not been idle recently. Although the girl is young, she can still organize the tools for the pioneers and work in the kitchen.
Everyone in the collective kitchen also likes this little girl who doesn't talk much but is very diligent with her hands. They always give her half a piece of sweet potato and a few handfuls of small beans.
The food is much better than before.
When it comes to eating, Miles is really a little confused. We are obviously still in the recovery period after the food disaster, but let’s not talk about the Central Plains potatoes and Canaanite grains and fruits that are said to be imported from other places.
Recently, the land reclamation team has even been able to eat fresh off-season vegetables.
In February, it’s just turnips, where are the tomatoes and spinach?
After learning from the person in charge of the gathering place that it was the result of the so-called Agricultural Building, Miles couldn't help but yearn for the extremely advanced creation described in the description - if there is such a planting building, then as long as it is built centrally,
Is a land as big as a small town enough to meet the food needs of the entire territory?
So with so much land left, how much more can be done?
Miles was just imagining. He didn't know what the Dragon God envoy in the Xiahui Territory wanted to do, but what he wanted to do was definitely an unimaginable event, and he was in the middle of such an event.
part of the business.
This kind of inexplicable motivation
Myers worked hard for two weeks with a sense of accomplishment and accomplishment. Although he had a vague idea after that, what does it have to do with me if the lord wants to do something big? I am just a part-time worker to open up wasteland. Such thoughts, but in view of the abundant wealth,
For the sake of food, salary and bonuses paid on time, his enthusiasm became overflowing again: "Whatever, I can't make as much money here even if I go to work in the city. I have to work hard wherever I go, why not work here!"
"
In addition, at the gathering place, the preachers of Chongling Sect will preach the doctrine once a day and guide everyone to pray and meditate.
It has to be said that these preachers are obviously novices. Some of them even need to read the pamphlets at first to read the teachings smoothly, but they are obviously full of enthusiasm and can recite them fluently after a few days.
In this remote and isolated wasteland, the people in the gathering place have no other choice. What's more, the Chongling Sect told them about this situation from the beginning, so people who don't take it seriously will still pray.
, even if it’s just for show.
What's more, the preachers of the Chongling Sect are quite interesting: although they are not even very familiar with the doctrine, they have a natural aura, as if everything they say is completely true.
After learning about the long-standing local dragon god belief among the mountain people, Miles could barely understand the reason for their special belief.
…
Today, Miles' mission is to go deep into the Black Swamp with a few familiar pioneers to explore the next information so as to determine a plan for the next reclamation.
The area on the southern edge of the Black Swamp has been drained and only needs to be prepared before normal planting. As long as the exploration is completed, each of them can get a lot of bonuses.
"When I go back this time, I want to buy new clothes for my sister."
Miles talked to his co-workers: "After so long, I still have the same two clothes, and I always feel sorry for her."
"Yeah, after I get the bonus this time, I want to send some money back to my wife back home. She has been waiting for me." A worker said with emotion: "It's just that I have been cheated of money after traveling for so many years. I just got a job.
Not being able to get a salary is the most irritating thing. I didn’t expect that the mountain people would be more happy to give me money than the Imperial people.”
"Who says it's not the case? I just wanted to make a living." Another worker shook his head: "After I get the bonus this time, I will go back to my hometown to get married. It feels lifeless in my hometown, there is little food, and the food is not as good as
Here, I want to bring her over."
Everyone chatted about their prospects for the future, walked through the rotten and sticky soil, and then came to a flat land.
Walking from south to north in Black Swamp, there will be several flat areas, but not all of them are land. Some are formed by the deposition of ancient forest remains, stone and wood areas, and some are composed of a large number of vine-solidified mulch and leaves.
There will be many poisonous insects and miasma in the hanging area.
This kind of dangerous area was cleared once by the Magnetic Storm Armor at the very beginning, but the swamp was so big that several Magnetic Storm Armors could not clear it completely. Therefore, subsequent pioneers need to slowly sort out the reporting points, so that they can prepare for the dispatch in the future.
Magnetic Storm Armor provides preparation locations.
The flat land that Miles and others walked through was land, and the location was quite good. It could be used as a preparation point for resting in the wilderness later. Everyone stopped here, preparing to observe the size of the flat land and set up signboards.
"You can build a watchtower here to observe the surrounding situation from a high position."
Miles meditated while drawing the picture: "It feels like the land is being reclaimed in all directions from here as the center. The speed is very fast. The drainage needs to be diverted from the outside, or what the administrator said, a water pump needs to be dispatched."
According to the person in charge of the gathering place, Xiahui City has begun to manufacture high-power water pumps. This kind of water pump is said to be able to drain a small lake and the water in the swamp can be easily drained. In this way, it will save money.
A lot of effort.
This is the magic of alchemy creation, and the fisherman in the team couldn't help but sigh: "It's long overdue! The fish in this place are so good that you can't catch them at all these days. I'm so angry."
Miles suddenly drew his sword.
And everyone instinctively became quiet.
A nameless sense of fear invaded their hearts in an instant. As people on the continent of Terra
The people, they understood what they had encountered almost instantly.
"Something's happening!"
And at the moment when the young swordsman roared loudly, not far away, the silent swamp suddenly stirred with violent boiling mud foam.
Buzz!
The ground shook violently, and a giant beast that looked like a snake, a fish, and a horned leech flew out of the mud and revealed its true form in front of the members of the land reclamation team.
…
"It's the giant mire leech! The Lord of the Black Swamp!"
At the first glance, Miles knew the identity of the other party. It was exactly what all the pioneers had been told, the beast king of the Black Swamp area - this second-level beast had been lurking here for many years. Originally, Xiahui City
Troops came here to round it up, but they were eluded by it.
Over the past month, the giant leech has disappeared. Many people speculated that it had abandoned its nest and moved away, but they never thought that it was still staying here and would attack the land developers!
But, why?! Why would this giant beast suddenly choose them as its target?!
Miles didn't quite understand at first, and he keenly discovered that the real target of the giant swamp leeches was not them, but a certain direction outside the swamp?
But even so, the giant beast looked at them sideways, shook its tail, and launched an attack.
Suddenly, a large amount of mud rained down on the shocked land reclamation team like a rain of swords from the sky.
Rumble - the surrounding swamp trees were hit by mud, as if they were bombarded by artillery shells, and exploded in all directions. If a person was hit, no plasma would be left, and he would be crushed directly into the swamp.
Miles knew clearly in his heart that at this moment, among the people present, except for him who might survive due to his spiritually enhanced physique, everyone else would die.
Parr has a wife waiting for him at home, Marge is going back to his hometown to get married soon, Luo Song loves fishing, and Luo Song has an old mother waiting for him at home.
In an instant, surging unwillingness and anger filled the young swordsman's heart.
"No!"
He stepped forward, raising the sword in his hand high, and his eyes lit up with a blood-red light.
With Miles as the center, a scarlet spherical space emerged.
And all the mud that submerged in this space was flowing under the influence of a mysterious force, converging towards the young swordsman's location! -
