Chapter 803 Ian and others lack common sense (5800, Happy New Year’s Eve
Fun!)
There was once a traveler from Yanjiang who wanted to find the 'end of the world', the so-called 'other side of the continent', so he traveled all the way south.
In that era when the kingdoms had not fully developed and prospered, and monsters were rampant on the earth, this traveler overcame obstacles, passed through the mountains and ice and snow of Yanjiang, passed through the vast grasslands of the Cangtian Palace and the endless waters of the Thirteenth River Basin.
In the jungle, no matter how many difficulties and dangers it encounters, it never stops.
Along the way, he killed monsters and defeated robbers who blocked his way. He also received help from friendly demi-humans with horses, and kind elves gave him brand-new luggage.
Finally, he arrived in front of an endless stretch of water. This traveler from a distant continent shed tears of emotion. He thought that this was the sea on the other side of the world, and that his journey would also reach the end.
Although he missed the mark, he was not far off.
Half Moon Lake is such an inland lake that makes people mistake it for the sea and is almost impossible to exist. In the traveler's story, this is his last 'setback'. After mistaking the sea for him, he embarrassingly sets off again, and soon...
He arrived at the Sea of Eternal Silence, and when he returned to the shores of Half Moon Lake, the local elves held a grand celebration for him, and that was the origin of the 'Voyage Festival'.
And this traveler is the founder of the third dynasty of Yanjiang, Xi Yanshan. The traveler who traveled half of the continent returned to his hometown, and finally led his hometown out of the ancient mountain territory and towards the land of Terra.
Big stage.
Inspired by this, most of the elves around Half-Moon Lake are keen to explore and travel far. The origins of the elves tribes wandering on the mainland are mostly from around Half-Moon Lake. In the gathering place of elves in the Cangtian Palace, there are even hundreds of them.
Ninety-five percent of the elven bloodline comes from this.
The Voyage Festival has been over for more than half a month, but the traces of that grand celebration can still be vaguely seen on the Banyue Lake. The air is vaguely filled with the smell of fireworks. Although it is festive, it also makes people subconsciously vigilant.
Whether it is a celebration prop or a child's toy, the smell of gunpowder always makes people a little alert.
Not to mention, the atmosphere in the ruins exploration camp on the east side of the lake on Ban Yue is slightly cold. The tense and solemn atmosphere is mixed with a hint of fighting and killing, and the faint smell of blood is mixed in the wind, and in the streets
Wandering.
After getting off the airship, Ian and others went to the camp built for them under the guidance of the staff from Canaan Moore. The young man looked around the entire camp street with interest, his eyes flashing with aquatic brilliance.
"Well... most people are safe."
He murmured to himself, not concealing the fact that he was using his prophetic ability to predict danger: "Most of these staff members won't explore the ruins in depth, right? They are all a little too safe, and there are only a few who have a slight hint of danger.
It's most likely a minor injury like accidentally breaking a leg while working."
"Breaking a leg is not a minor injury." Xio complained. Now, the King of the Mountain also knows (in fact, he has guessed it long ago) that Ian is a prophet, and the voice of the entire team's communication will not be transmitted outside under the power of the real dragon.
Therefore, they talked very casually: "The ruins have many levels. An exploration camp has been built on the first level, and there are several exploration base stations on the second level. Most of the staff and guard knights will operate there."
"The real point is below the third level - there, ordinary guards are just a hindrance as in the past, or they are used as bait to die, but with drones in various countries, even the bait is no longer needed.
There are so many people, so most of the members of the exploration team are elites.”
"That's right. Whether they are dangerous or not, it cannot prove the success of this exploration operation."
Ian nodded slightly, but having said that, based on the safety of the staff, he could at least deduce that there should not be any 'big changes' in the Xenogeneic Research Institute.
This so-called big change was naturally the dark gold dragon that soared into the sky on the way to the spiritual disaster. If this scene had happened five years earlier, then every one of those staff members would have been entangled in the dark mist, and they would have definitely died...
But now, they seem to be quite safe, which proves that at least this exploration will not be as dangerous as the dark gold dragon riot.
In addition, Ian was also observing the eight fourth-level experts just now...
Located in the center of the camp, the strongest fourth energy level present is also the host of this exploration, Speaker Canaan Moore, [Freedom] Yapheda Silver Gate.
Silver light enveloped the entire camp.
The eldest prince of the Setal Empire, [Glow] Carlos Setal.
The blue-gold sunshine falls from an altitude of 80,000 meters.
Imperial Dragon Worship Cult, Messenger of Dragon Island, [King of the Mountain] Amok Nostil.
Yanjiang Exploration Team, Disciples of Yuanxing, [Zhenzhong] Duo Tieyu.
There are vague fluctuations in the virtual realm that seem to be everywhere.
Cangtian Royal Court Exploration Team, General Suyue, [Heaven Hammer] Gongta Ximore.
The blood energy visible to the naked eye soars into the sky on the east side.
City of Knowledge, Master of Qingyue Spire, [Master of Transformation] Shasi Qingyue.
A faint light and shadow reflected the changing moon phases in the north of the camp.
And finally...
"Well?"
Seeing the last one, the fourth-level powerhouse located in the south of the camp, Ian couldn't help but was stunned: "Dragon and fairy... living and dead... what is that? I don't have any information about it.
name……"
[He is the envoy of the Kingdom of the Dead Mountain, a friend of mine]
The King of the Mountain looked up, and the silver-haired beautiful woman showed a nostalgic smile: [Afiboya has learned a lot under the 'Dragon King of Death', and I don't know how it is lately...]
Afiboya is obviously the representative of the ‘Death Mountain Country’. Ian recalled the situation and figured out the other party’s camp.
The Kingdom of Death Mountain is a small country located to the east of the Cangtian Palace and south of Falling Star City, the goblin's lair. It is located in the Skyfall Wasteland and is led by a fifth-level dragon king, [Death-Taking Mechanical Dragon] Timotel
rule.
This dragon king once joined forces with the goblins and the four orthodox religions to fight against the swarm of insects that multiplied in the inner sea of Skyfall, and used his own body as a coordinate to assist the goblins in destroying the insect mother. In order to thank him for his efforts, the goblins
The physically dead Dragon King recast a 'Dead Weapon Dragon Body'.
Unlike his name, Timotel, the Dragon King of Death, is a dragon king with a good temper, and he likes furry or cute creatures like demi-humans and goblins very much. He has a good relationship with goblins, and there are some silver goblins.
Learn the relevant ways of sublimation under Him.
This time, the Kingdom of the Dead Mountain did not just come on behalf of itself, it came on behalf of the goblins, the Church of Spiritual Machinery, the Church of Huaiguang, and the Cult of the Underworld, and its envoys were also very special, except for [Skeleton Dragon]
Besides Fiboya, there is also a silver fairy.
[I'm going to say hello] The body of the Mountain King has already gone to the side of the camp, but it is obviously not a posture that can be easily visited, so the beautiful silver-haired woman smiled and nodded: [You have to take care of yourselves]
"I understand, mother." Xiou said goodbye gently, as if he was a different person.
The Mountain King's prosthetic body left, but the question was not answered.
"They are a couple."
Anfa noticed Ian's confusion, and she whispered beside the boy: "Afiboya and Xiou had a similar experience... but he directly abandoned the dragon body, studied under the Dragon King of Death, and shaped his own
His body of a mechanical dragon. In the process, he met the love of his life, a silver elf who came from Fallen Star City to study in the Country of Death Mountain."
"Their relationship is not very clear, but in general, these two are inseparable, and they have a very powerful combined fighting method. It is obvious that the Silver Fairy only has the third energy level, but when combined with Afiboya, he can exert almost
The power at the peak of the fourth energy level...it is no wonder that he has become the representative of the major orthodox religions and the 'observer' of this exploratory operation."
"I have learned a lot."
Both Ian and Isengard had blank expressions on their faces. The young man was really impressed by Terra's magic: "Both dragons and fairies can become...I don't feel the slightest bit about the marriage between humans and fairies, and the marriage between humans and dragons."
It’s not weird anymore.”
These eight fourth-level experts are the backing of the entire Alien Research Institute exploration team.
As for other forces, such as Far Shore Island, Flying Fire Land, Gantrygum and Mountain Castle...mostly because of the tense situation in Terra, they only sent an exploration team over symbolically, or
It was the strong man who was not present, but gave some protection and rare items.
For example, the exploration team of the Seven Cities Alliance has essentially merged with the Empire's exploration team. They are planning a maritime military operation against the Flying Flame Land in the Sea of Tranquility with the Empire. It is precisely for this reason that the Flying Flame Land has not sent any troops.
Come here... The two countries are still in a full-scale war. No one is really stupid enough to believe in the agreement, right? Violating the agreement will at most result in sanctions, but it can really kill an enemy's fourth level!
As for Gantrigham and Junling Castle, they have to face the threats of the Cangtian Royal Court and the Empire respectively... The Far Coast Island is really too far away, and they also have some geological troubles that need to be adjusted, so they don't have time.
Send strong men over to participate.
There are eight main exploration teams, as well as scattered ‘tourist groups’ from other countries and forces.
"interesting."
After knowing the current situation, Ian became more interested. He lowered his eyes and thought: "In this way, we can roughly see the national strength and camp of each country... The Seven Cities Alliance and Junling Castle only have one first.
Five-level countries do not have much power to interfere with the outside world, and although there are two fifth-level powerhouses in Far Shore Island and Feiyan Land, they are unable to overcome the obstacles faced by the Empire, the Seven Cities Alliance and the Capital of Knowledge.
Power is projected."
"The Royal Court of Heaven and Gantrygum are confronting each other. Although the latter is very powerful and has two fifth-level players, it has no intention of sending strong men across the border to gamble in a state of war.
As for Whale Song Cliff, they have never participated in such 'foreign affairs'. As a barrier for humans facing sea beasts, they only need to hold their ground to gain support from all countries."
As for the others, the Jiuhan Silent Mountain, Far Sword Port, Northern Wasteland and Dark Mountain Fortress countries are all countries that currently do not have the fifth energy level, or are dependent on a certain fifth level powerhouse. They
Of course, I knew that I was not qualified to do anything to the large relics of the civilization of the previous era, so I simply didn’t send the tour group.
"It seems that the empire is indeed the central empire... There are three fifth-level powerhouses in the normal state, which is the only one among the countries."
On the way back to the Moorish Dragon Cult camp in Canaan, Ian felt quite emotional.
It's no wonder that a prince like Carlos makes such a rebellious statement - if Inaga II and Teacher Hilliard are allowed to continue without moving the fort, it is estimated that it will become a stable inheritance that can rely on the imperial capital.
Yes, the fourth fifth level has been passed down.
In this way, the power of the empire was enough to surpass all other countries, and it became a veritable central empire and the center of Terra.
The Dark Moon turmoil back then could never have been just a rebellion within the empire... it was a major turmoil caused by interference from external enemies.
But so what if you know? This is not a question that Ian needs to think about now. The empire has missed that window period, and now it wants to cultivate a stable fifth-level inheritance, which at least requires Ian's full cooperation.
…But Ian can’t believe that the center of the empire is now here.
Yes. Without Inega and Hilliard, other geniuses may or will definitely appear in the human collective in the future - but at that point in time, at that crucial moment for the continent of Terra,
Without these two geniuses, Inega and Hilliard, the next window might be hundreds of years from now.
Time and opportunity are not infinite.
The exploration camp is quite large. With the full support of the Ascendants and the country, a small city with all the facilities and service agencies was built in a short period of time... This is not an uncommon thing. In Terra,
There are often examples of related cities being built based on ruins. Although there may occasionally be huge disasters like Dawn City that are destroyed by Titan monsters, building cities is necessary for convenience and for leaving a population to drive the economy.
This camp may also become a brand new ruins city in the future.
On the road to the camp, there were many members of the exploration team walking in a hurry. Most of them were logistics personnel for exploration teams from various countries, but some were also elite members of the official team members.
On the way back to the camp, Ian and others saw a young demi-human who was probably from the Cangtian Royal Court.
He is tall and has a relatively high ratio of animal form. He looks like a werewolf walking upright from a distance, but he is as strong as a lion, and the vitality visible to the naked eye flows in his body like a big river.
This wolf demi-human is obviously related to the Royal Court of Ximore. His eyes are like lightning, sweeping across the street, and pedestrians have to avoid him. The strength of the second-level peak is considered a genius at his age. From Ian's point of view, the opponent
The belief is quite firm, and I am afraid that it will reach the third energy level within a few years.
Such a powerful sublimator could naturally notice Ian and others. He glanced at them, but initially had no reaction, just as if he was seeing an ordinary stone passing by.
Another new batch of exploration teams? Boring, they are all old, weak, women and children who are not worthy of challenge...
But the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Ian in shock.
"Um?"
Ian also noticed that the other party was locking his gaze. He was not sure why the other party was so shocked. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "My friend, why are you staring at me so closely?"
Based on the atmosphere here in Terra, as soon as Ian said this, the other party would definitely answer the question, either by apologizing, or by saying, 'What are you looking at?' 'What are you looking at?'
process, and then fight.
In the exploration camp, an area where elites from various countries gather, there are fourth-level people who can't seem to die. This kind of conflict is certainly not uncommon. Elites from various countries rarely communicate with each other, so this is a rare platform.
I am afraid that all the major families and forces will not miss this opportunity.
Ian also noticed that this demi-human from the Lupo tribe was extremely active in the flow of essence throughout his body. This was not only due to his talent and cultivation achievements, but also because he had just experienced an extremely fierce battle... From the clothes
From a clean point of view, he should have attacked with all his strength and crushed his opponent. Now he is in the excitement of victory, so he is walking on the street like a crab with a pace that he doesn't recognize.
——Will we meet someone who likes provocation again?
The young man couldn't help but think. He had just arrived in Canaan Moore and encountered the provocative Ten Kings. Could it be that when he arrived at the camp, he would have to knock down all the younger generations of geniuses from the Terra countries? It's not that he couldn't do it. The main thing was that he couldn't do it.
It's too eye-catching... It's better to pretend to lose a few times.
And just when Ian was still thinking, 'How will we deal with this big wolf cub in front of us later that looks a little bit over-secreted of male hormones? Or is it better to lose first for the first time?'
Something unexpected happened.
"……sorry."
After muttering something, the demi-human from the Cangtian Royal Court faced Ian and the others with a rather stiff pace and took a step back.
Then, it was the second step, the third step, the fourth step... He walked backwards like this, sweating coldly and walking backwards. He didn't turn around until he turned at another intersection in the camp, and walked all the way.
Xiao ran away from Ian and his group.
He ran around the team of Ian and others!
Ian, Ethan, Anfa and Xiou: "...?"
"What happened?"
Ian was a little confused: "Xio, isn't your mother gone? Or is the aura she left behind capable of intimidating people?"
"He is only at the second level and has no dragon blood. How could he sense my mother's aura?" As soon as the King of the Mountain left, Xio boldly relaxed his words: "And that kid just now was staring closely at me.
I'm looking at your face, Ian - even when you're running away."
"He obviously doesn't keep looking at you because you are good-looking... We are both equally good-looking, and I am still a female model. In theory, he should look at me." At this point, the dragon girl turned her head and looked at her curiously.
Ian then suddenly said: "Yes, he is afraid of you!"
"He ran away because he was afraid of you!"
"Fear?"
Ian and Isengard looked at each other, and he said to himself blankly: "Am I going to be scared?"
"Isn't it possible?" Isengard was even more puzzled than Ian. He frowned and thought: "How could anyone be afraid of Ian? Especially when we meet for the first time..."
"Unless it's not the first time." Anfa murmured to herself. She seemed to have thought of something. She turned her head and said to everyone: "I think we may have made a mistake in judgment because we were too young."
The elf girl smiled awkwardly and said: "But think about it carefully... Ian, will there really be a formal exploration team and not investigate other competitors? Even we have collected all the information we can.
I also know that the demi-human just now is named Sotolun Suyue. He is of the sky-devouring bloodline with the blood of the Great Khan. His strength is...very strong, but it is indeed not as good as you, Ian. Of course, it is also better than yours.
Not like me and Xio."
The blond boy frowned, feeling as if he had been slightly offended. However, because he had only advanced to the second level a few days ago, it was difficult to refute.
——When I stabilize the fusion bloodline, I may not be able to beat that guy just now!
"In short." Finally, Anfa concluded: "Since we all know each other, it is not strange for the other party to know us."
"But you shouldn't run away when you see me, right?" Ian was a little confused: "I haven't done much recently... I just helped Anfa get rid of those assassins..."
"Maybe they found Ian's information about your battle in Nanling?" Xiou thought of a possibility. She nodded and said: "Although the Baisen Mountains are relatively primitive, so few images are leaked, but those who are interested can
If you ask, you will probably know that your strength is too strong, Ian."
"Perhaps there is no need for Nanling. What happened in Canaan Moore is enough."
Ethan suddenly said, thoughtfully: "Everyone, we may have forgotten one thing because we stayed with Ian for so long..."
"A person who can instantly kill the second-level Ten King Blood members with one move, blow away a dozen low-level sublimated ones in the aftermath of the attack, and even go head-to-head with a professional assassin trained by a big family like the Ten King Blood... Seventeen years old
Young people. Bring out super geniuses who are only one step away from being certified as alchemist masters."
"Guys who sound a bit outrageous like this should be rare, right?"
Everyone was silent.
"All spirits are above..."
Finally, Miss Elf murmured to herself. She stretched out her hand and slapped her forehead helplessly: "Oh my god, why do I think this is normal? Not everyone has the blood of a true dragon..."
"It seems that we may have really ignored this."
Happy New Year's Eve everyone! The update is a bit late, but not too late!
Dear readers, may you wish you all the best in the new year, may you have good harvests in your career and love life!
