Chapter 729 Is Terra going to die? (7400, considered a big chapter
Andor, the elf pirate from Canaan Moor, feels that he is possessed by the gods of luck and despair at the same time.
A year ago, he was invited by a big client from the empire to attack a target. Every pirate would do this kind of thing. After all, how much money can you make by robbing a merchant ship? It's just to gain fame. Those big guys who need black gloves are the ones who need black gloves.
The real financier.
What's more, this customer is very stable, and he even arranged a set of armor as insurance. Compared with those mentally retarded customers who don't give complete information about their enemies, it is simply 120,000 more considerate.
Andor thinks this is lucky, it is rare to see such considerate big customers.
But who knew that they would actually overturn the situation - their opponent's strength and luck were both excellent, especially that boy from the White People, who was a genius that was rare to see in a hundred years, or even a thousand years!
It was the first time Andor saw that someone could control the armor to defeat a second-level monster for the first time. It was as smooth as a rehearsal from beginning to end, and the total duration was no more than ten minutes.
Even if that monster is in a sea where he is not suitable to display his strength, this kind of record can be called a trump card.
Meeting a genius of this level, Andor was so convinced that he was defeated. He kicked off his legs and planned to wait for death.
Anyway, among pirates, who wouldn’t overturn their fortunes? In the Sea of Eternal Silence, only the luckiest pirates can live longer, and strength has never been the main factor.
After all, the last Pirate King, Black Storm, disappeared because he encountered a passing fourth-level sea dragon? Even third-level people can encounter such nonsense, which proves that luck is far more important than strength.
At this time, he was undoubtedly desperate.
But when he was desperate, Andor was spared his life because he saved the white boy's armored shark companion. He was even lucky enough to watch their final battle with the insect nest, and survived as the final winner!
This is indeed lucky.
But what follows is the beginning of this round of bad luck.
Andor, who was taken from the port to the imperial capital by Master Gosei, has been staying in a prison for special prisoners.
In prison, he underwent several rounds of interrogations, including those from imperial officials, the Ellen family, unknown persons (Andor guessed it was another large noble family), and Master Gosei.
He did not tell the truth honestly, but gritted his teeth and just insisted on the rhetoric that "I and Ian Isengard and others shared the hardships and finally escaped from the Great Maze."
As for Patrick?
Him? Who?
No, I never know who my employer is!
Are you asking about something else? I’m kidding, how can we Canaanite Moorish pirates recognize your imperial nobles? We can’t even pronounce the names of our own elf councilors!
His attitude obviously made everyone very satisfied.
Apparently, no one wants the truth.
Regarding this, Andor complained in his heart. Are you kidding? Do you really think he is stupid? If he tells the truth, even if the empire does not execute him, the Ellen family will not be able to keep him!
And the result was just as Andor thought. When Master Gosei came to the prison and found out that he was still alive, he said without saltiness: "It's not bad, he's not stupid." Then he took him out of the prison.
…
Immediately afterwards, the dispatch arrived here.
He was assigned to the Imperial Mist Port and the Maze Breeding Center. As a D-class personnel, he took care of the ‘Zhanhai Crystal Dragon Egg’ that Master Gosei and his team took out from the maze.
What are D-class personnel?
Simply put, they are consumables.
The Labyrinth Breeding Center is one of the most successful examples of the Labyrinth Transformation Plan first implemented by the Empire decades ago. This sea labyrinth originally bred a large number of marine monsters. After being captured and developed by the Empire, it relied on its natural
The ability of the psychic field and natural source of energy to converge has become the largest breeding ground for Warcraft in the empire.
Here, there are Warcraft from the first level to the fourth level. Each type of Warcraft has different breeding and control methods. Each type of Warcraft can bring different benefits to the empire.
their
The gestation, birth, growth and final harvest are all firmly controlled by the empire, forming a huge ecological cycle.
But precisely because it is Warcraft, not every control method will work.
They will evolve, adapt, or undergo other mutations, which will cause the original methods to fail, which will undoubtedly cause extremely serious casualties.
Therefore, most of the people at the lowest level are death row prisoners, people who have lost their human rights, and others who have lost their names and identities.
Their mission is to assist professionals in taking care of these farmed monsters at close range, or to become food for the monsters.
No one will treat them as humans, they are just useful tools at best.
Andor has become one of them. This is undoubtedly the most desperate situation. If the pirates in the Eternal Ocean are trying their luck to survive every day, then here, they are waiting for the countdown to death every day.
And the only chance of survival is to make some achievements in the breeding factory.
If Andor can be recognized by the Labyrinth Breeding Ground, he can return to freedom. This is the agreement between Master Gosei and him.
At the same time, this is the empire's last mercy to all D-class personnel and a means to control them.
Andor still remembers that when he first entered the breeding ground, he was still thankful that "these dragon eggs will hatch soon, right?"
But who knows, the days passed day after day, and the time passed month by month, but the dragon egg remained content and motionless.
Yes, they are gradually absorbing the surrounding source matter and becoming larger. But what's the use of getting bigger if they don't break the shell!
One year will soon pass, and Andor is almost in despair. If the dragon eggs do not hatch this year, the possibility of hatching in the future is very small. Not only that, he is the person in charge of this batch of dragon eggs.
, if the breeding place declares that the hatching has failed, then he will definitely be executed and thrown away to make cheap fish feed for the sword-toothed fish next to him!
This is why Andor was so excited when he heard that the crystal dragon egg hatched.
"Hope is true, hope is true"
With these words in his mouth, Andor walked through various automatic checkpoints - there are very few human operators inside the breeding ground, most of them are automated alchemy machines, and the empire uses many of them that are still being tested here.
Cutting-edge technology.
Here, there are no favors or omissions, and all procedures are carried out according to the most rigid sequence, just like the laws of nature.
…
In fact, the monsters in the breeding ground really regard many of the rules within the breeding ground as 'natural phenomena' and adapt to them, thereby developing many habits and new abilities that the outside monsters do not have.
When Andor saw this scene, he felt a little enlightened. He probably understood why the maze gave birth to a 'maze species' that was very different from the outside world.
But now is not the time to sigh. Soon, Andor arrived in front of the dragon egg incubation room that he was responsible for.
The dragon egg incubation room is located in the underground flow of source matter.
It's strange to say that it is obviously the egg of a fourth-level monster, but the only person taking care of it is himself, an elf pirate who has committed crimes and meritorious service.
Andor had previously speculated that he might have been silenced softly? These two dragon eggs could not be hatched from the beginning. Master Gosei just wanted to use the rules of the breeding ground to pin him to death in this ghost place.
?
It's not impossible - that old man has a kind face and an evil heart, and only shows kindness to those he admires!
But now with the hatching of the dragon egg, these speculations have become meaningless.
With excitement in his heart, the dark green-haired elf raised his head and looked into the glass room.
Then, he froze in place.
What a beautiful creature appeared in front of him?
The young dragon covered in light cyan crystal scales was sitting quietly on the snow-white goose down cushion. Its slender body had a translucent texture at first, but as time went by and the nutrition of the eggshells was supplemented, it gradually became like a dragon.
Sea water is generally deep and opaque.
The young dragon seemed to notice it too
When he arrived, it swung its tail and turned its head. Three pairs of dragon eyes locked on the familiar man in front of it. Complex patterns like prisms rotated in the irises under the eyelids, as if they could see through him in an instant.
The newborn crystal dragon looks like a sea snake with horns and claws just like its mother.
But compared to the Sea Serpent Monster of the same size, it appears to be more slender and more flexible, and the scales on its body that look like jade are as warm as jade, are actually sharp enough to cut through steel.
Especially those three pairs of eyes, just like human beings, looking at me with an intriguing attitude.
Andor's body stiffened for a moment. At this moment, he had a strange feeling that the baby dragon in front of him was not a real baby dragon at all, but some kind of extremely dangerous and terrifying demon that was reborn under its weight.
!
And the trainer who ran over so excitedly was undoubtedly the first unlucky victim as mentioned in all the terrifying Warcraft stories!
"How the hell is that possible! How could I be scared by a little dragon?!"
Andor roared in his heart, cheering himself up, then immediately turned around and ran away without hesitation.
——Are you kidding? Who is he? He is a man who can survive in a situation like the Great Maze of the South China Sea! He still doesn’t understand what he should know and shouldn’t know, what he can and cannot see?
In this situation where instincts begin to warn him, Andor must not stay alone. He must find other D-class personnel or the person in charge of this cultivation greenhouse, and everyone should come together, so that he can avoid all possible dangers.
Danger!
It has to be said that if what happened in the incubation room was really a scene where a thousand-year-old monster was reborn, then he would have survived by running away.
…
Unfortunately, it is not.
【Andor】
A calm voice sounded in the heart of the elf pirate: [Stop]
As if the words were spoken, Andor's body stopped the moment the voice sounded.
Then, the pirate captain turned his head and looked at the glass room behind him with a look of surprise.
【Yes, it’s me】
Xiaolong lazily positioned himself more restrained, but his voice sounded in Andor's heart without interruption: [Do you remember who I am? Andor]
".Ian?"
Almost trembling when he said the name, Andor swallowed. He was a little unbelievable: "You, you are dead?!"
Ian, who was controlling the young dragon, flicked the tip of his tail inconspicuously. If it were a human, he would probably raise his eyebrows: [Not dead. Your thinking is too fast. I don't need to die to possess this person.
A little dragon, and this is not a horror story, this is a special psychic skill]
He surprisingly completely followed Andor's jumping thoughts, and even made a prediction of the other party's thoughts.
Therefore, Ian said softly: [I can even see that your situation is quite bad. Obviously, you need help]
[Come here, I have something to ask you]
Andors thought about it and felt that he might not have the right to refuse - no matter what methods Ian used to possess this little snake, he had no evidence to prove this.
Ian can come and go, and if he wants to survive, he must protect this crystal dragon hatchling. If there is an abnormality in the hatchling, no matter what the outcome, his death will come soon.
Not to mention that with the relationship between Ian and Master Gosei, it only takes one word to pull him out of the breeding ground, or sink him into the Sea of Tranquility.
The most important characteristic of smart people is that they don't care about things that they shouldn't care about, and only focus on the current situation.
Wanting to understand this, the elf pirate turned around neatly and rushed to the incubation room. He almost knelt down at the door and said with great sincerity and respect: "What are your instructions?"
【very good】
Xiaolong nodded with satisfaction: [You are a smart person, so I won’t say much]
【Tell me, where is this?】
[What is your situation now? If you want to improve it, how can you cooperate? 】
【Finally, can you contact Master Gesai? 】
These three questions were very simple and clear. Andor answered quickly and fluently: "This is a breeding base of the Setar Empire near the Tranquility Sea. The location is probably north of Wusha Port. I'm not sure.
It was brought here by being deprived of the five senses. It is estimated that it was through the direction of the wind and the direction of the whirlpool."
"I am now a D-class personnel in Wusha Port. I have no human rights. I may be drafted to deal with some troublesome problems and die at any time. I probably haven't been drafted yet because Master Gosai sent me here. But if the crystallized dragon egg doesn't stop,
Incubation, I guess it will be abandoned in a whole year."
"But, you, uh, since this baby dragon hatched, I will most likely be able to get rid of this identity and become a relatively stable grassroots cultivator."
"As for the end, I can't take the initiative to contact Master Gosei. He will come to me when he has something to do, but only rarely. But when the dragon egg hatches, he will definitely contact me in the recent period!"
…
【Um】
Ian nodded thoughtfully.
Just as Andor thought, he was not afraid at all that the other party would tell him that he could possess a baby dragon - let alone whether others would believe it. Even if they believed it, they would not be able to catch Ian's specific possession.
Xiaolong's evidence.
Andor is not a fool. He just lost his temper because he was too cautious. In fact, when he answered, he had already figured out what the situation was now: the reason why Ian possesses this body, no matter what it is,
Mysterious events or psychic powers must have their purpose.
There are too few things that the young dragon's body can do. He needs a helper. As an acquaintance and a 'weak person' who can be controlled over life and death, he is an excellent assistant for the other person in the breeding area.
As for the final question, Master Gosei's question was to hint to Andor and tell him that Ian has the ability to use higher power to save him from suffering or sinking him into hell at any time. But as long as Andor behaves well,
Then this young man from the White People who had already spared him once would not mind letting him live again.
The premise is that he wants to cooperate.
And Andor is more than just cooperating - he simply wants to kneel down and lick her!
"Sir, do you want some air?"
Now that he realized that Ian was his noble person, not the one who urged him to order, Andor's tone immediately changed from fearful to fawning - this snobbishness was actually a good attitude, proving that he was absolutely cooperative.
Naturally, Ian would not refuse: [As far as my current status as a young dragon allows me, please show me the surrounding situation as much as possible]
The labyrinth breeding base around the Setar Empire's Wusha Port. He had heard of its name for a long time, but had never had the chance to visit.
This place produces more than 30% of the Warcraft materials in the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Capital. It can rival the output of several provinces by itself. It is undoubtedly a super-output building.
It is also the goal of Ian's future plans to draw lessons from the ecosphere of the 'South China Sea Labyrinth'.
There are many advanced and mature technologies here, waiting for him to learn and analyze them!
And Ian is not in a hurry. He has plenty of time. As long as Andor does not die, his crystal dragon clone will be able to do many things that ordinary breeders and Warcraft cannot do.
Both free prostitution technology and free prostitution resources are very feasible!
Andor rolled out a large cart, loaded the entire incubation table where the crystallized baby dragon was, and pushed it out of the incubation room - another dragon egg was left in it. Ian told Andor not to worry about that egg.
It won't hatch yet. It will hatch at the right time under Andor's careful care and become part of the other party's achievements.
In this way, he will also gain a certain status in this breeding place, which will facilitate Ian's future actions.
[It seems quite free]
Ian sat on the cart and looked around curiously.
Inside the greenhouse, there are dozens of transparent incubation chambers. Some of them are vacant, some have not yet hatched, and some have already hatched.
It has melted, but it does not leave it. Instead, it moves slowly in the incubation room, or rests.
These are all Warcraft, and the glass in the incubation room seems fragile, but it can actually withstand bullets and heavy crossbow shots. The source essence and life breath of dozens of different Warcraft gather in this area. Not only is there no chaos, but it is also ingeniously
Under the design, it blends into a unique breath of life, allowing vitality to steam up and reach the top of the greenhouse.
…
Walking out of the greenhouse located underground, there is a huge hemispherical vault on the outside. At the top of the hemisphere is a hollow that leads directly to the outside world. The light golden sunlight penetrates directly into the ground from this hollow, with faint light patterns of sparkling waves.
The spiritual energy field visible to the naked eye uses sunlight as the carrier to gather together, condensing lines of inscriptions visible to the naked eye in mid-air, adjusting the intensity of the source material in the space.
There are a total of eight greenhouses in the vault space, and there is a sign on the edge of the 'rare monster hatching area.' Obviously, this vault space is specially used to hatch monsters.
There are many staff and automated machinery walking around the greenhouses for observation.
"Some monsters need to be sent to a suitable area as soon as possible after hatching, otherwise, their health may be affected."
Andor, who had just used the instrument to report the situation, explained: "I just used this reason to report to the superiors. Otherwise, it would be a big mistake to take the monsters out of the hatching area without permission. But with you here, this matter will be much simpler. I can do it."
We will send you to the sea area that has been prepared for the crystal dragon, where you can have a clear view of the entire breeding area."
【Troublesome】
Ian is very satisfied with Andor providing convenience as much as possible, which is also the result he wants.
However, after saying this, he remained silent.
The elf pushed the cart, following a spiral upward track, and gradually headed to the ground.
This process was very long. Ian keenly sensed that the underground where he was just now was probably not a normal underground, but a thick building layer under the sea. It was just because its structure was too large and dense, which made people feel confused.
An illusion.
Moreover, this spiral track made him feel a little strange. The stairs in it were obviously built by latecomers, and its original shape was not so much a staircase as a smooth launch track.
This made Ian have a guess in his mind, but now is not the time to guess.
Soon he will know the truth.
Soon, as Andor kept crossing the checkpoints and opening the valve, the sunlight from the outside world really shined through the crack in the door.
Ian felt the fresh sea breeze blowing.
Unlike the overly warm and humid South China Sea, there was just the right amount of cool sea breeze mixed with a little bit of wet water, beating towards his scales.
The young dragon raised its head.
In the north of the mainland, the sun next to the Sea of Tranquility is not dazzling. It is blocked by a thin layer of clouds and fog, covering the next layer of hazy light. A golden fireball is vaguely suspended in the sky, covering the surrounding clouds.
and the ocean are all plated with their own colors.
Then, Ian lowered his head and looked around the place where he was.
Then, he saw a "lighthouse."
Ian held his breath.
The area he is in is an extremely tall and huge lighthouse. It sticks out from the sea and is still hundreds of meters high. Under the lighthouse, there is an extremely large building structure that is submerged by the sea.
.
No. Is it really a building?
It was a city. A huge, layer upon layer, made up of countless steel structures - it was like the mythical Leviathan, an incredibly huge whale that fell here.
, the corpse merged with the land and ocean, and finally became the shape it is today.
…
Thousand-meter-high lighthouses protrude from the rotting corpse of this giant city, like a forest in the ocean, and the huge and thick wall structure isolates all sea water, providing an excellent sealed environment for its internal space.
And around this huge city, there are many densely packed, like ants
Groups of creatures were swimming around, but Ian could see that those were not ordinary creatures, but groups of sonic dolphins. These intelligent monsters became patrols around this giant city under the guidance of humans.
, closely monitoring the movements of all surrounding monsters.
"This is the breeding ground."
Andor's voice sounded, and his tone was filled with awe that was almost fearful: "We are in the 19th 'Incubation Area,' the Undersea Labyrinth, the giant city of Atlan, which is its main component.
In the undersea inland sea and the surrounding sealed off 'breeding sea, there are countless monsters with different ecological habitats."
Of course Andor is in awe. Anyone who is a human being will be in awe and wonder at this unusually large building - for what purpose did the predecessors build it, and what kind of disaster caused it to be buried in the
Has this place changed from a glorious pre-era civilized city to the labyrinth it is today?
They don't know, so they feel fear and fear.
And Ian knows.
【This is. Orbital Colonial City?!】
Ian opened his eyes wide, and he could see at a glance the true nature of the breeding ground, the 'undersea labyrinth city of Atlan' - it was a 'space colonial city' that should be located in a permanent orbit! No matter it was
Its structure is similar to that of the central area of the imperial capital, and these lighthouses that should be 'orbital entrances and exits' all prove this!
Now, Ian has finally seen it clearly. The giant city of Atlan should be a commercial or fortress city that was originally located in space orbit. These densely packed huge lighthouses are all used to guide spacecraft.
Stationed at the pier, the spaceship will be parked nearby, and cargo and passengers will follow the tracks in these lighthouses and enter the city horizontally instead of vertically!
The complete form of the giant city of Atlan should be a space city with a structure similar to a sea urchin!
Moreover, it was not sunk into the sea due to geological changes at all. It fell directly from the sky and smashed on the earth!
But why?!
Even a space fortress should be shattered into pieces if it falls from outer space orbit. At least the surrounding terrain will undergo extremely terrifying changes. How could it be so ordinary and inlaid in place?
It's not just these puzzles.
The six pupils of the little crystal dragon were extremely contracted to observe the surrounding situation.
He quickly noticed something was wrong - at the edge of the entire giant city of Atlan, there was an extremely conspicuous, even incredibly huge, 'abnormal structure'!
It was the partial skeleton of a giant dragon.
A giant dragon claw bone that is several kilometers long clings to the side of the giant city. Its overall structure is pressed beneath it by the giant city. All flesh and blood has rotted away, or has become nutrients for the surrounding earth's ecology, leaving only
The strongest, metal-like bones still exist.
…
At this moment, Ian felt that his spiritual power, 'precognitive vision', was rapidly vibrating and his ability to 'retrace the past' was operating.
Then he saw it.
Ian saw an extremely dazzling flash of light flying from the end of the distant universe, penetrating through the Moon of Gaze in the void. After melting half of the moon, it fell towards Terra with a tilted trajectory.
.
Incredible psychic radiation spread towards the entire planet and even the star field, killing most of the people directly exposed to the radiation in an instant. Colonial cities in outer space were the first to bear the brunt.
The originally silent city was howling, and countless dead souls were mourning in the burning dead city. It fell from the top of the sky with blood-red fire smoke, and in the surrounding area, dozens of similar dead cities were also falling, carrying the feeling of destruction.
trajectory.
And a heavily injured dragon roared and soared from the inside of the planet. Chi just paid a great price to resist the aftermath of the streamer that penetrated the moon and protected part of the life on the native planet.
And now, Chi wants to try to protect these fallen floating cities, where there are still some surviving lives.
Ian felt great unwillingness from the heart of this giant dragon.
Abandonment and anger. And the despair deep in my heart.
【Is Terra going to die?】
The ancient, sad, and deeply regretful echo seemed to travel through time and resounded in the heart of the prophet: [The prophecy has come true, the apocalypse has come, and fate has abandoned us.]
[Hope is gone, heaven has collapsed and the creators who will build the kingdom of heaven have perished]
【.No】
The dragon's echo became firm: [I don't believe this prophecy]
