Chapter 487 Empire Afterglow - The Ultimate Weapon
As I ran my fingers over the rough rocks on the mural, the history of the Silver Snake Tribe seemed to flash before my eyes.
The heavy breath of time is blowing against my face.
The Silver Snake tribe's priests use murals to preserve traces of the race's past.
Through these murals, Feng Qi saw a race rise from humble beginnings, go through vicissitudes of life, and face collapse several times, but they still persevere and move towards a more glorious future.
But after many ups and downs, the Silver Snake Clan finally came to destruction.
There is no eternity in a dynasty, and no one can escape the corrosion of time.
At this moment, Feng Qi had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
As the Lord of the Mist said, any seemingly weak racial force may have had a glorious history that we can’t even imagine... It’s just that the years have changed, and perhaps the heirs of these once powerful clans have long forgotten that history.
.
The history of the domain world is like a rotating history book.
In the endless competition, some races have risen strongly, while others have perished and split.
Even after the racial forces collapsed and disbanded, the wandering descendants re-established a brand new dynasty at some point in the future.
There is no eternal strong family, and there is no eternal humble family.
Just like a psychic race.
No one expected that such a humble slave force could rise in the human world and even establish a supreme dynasty in the next 1500 years and become one of the eight royal families in the future.
The deceased Silver Snake Clan also cannot escape reincarnation.
The Silver Snake Empire collapsed, but countless branch racial forces were also born.
Among them was the Silver Moon Clan whom he knew, who had joined the new path of conquest and growth in another form.
The song of time is still playing non-stop. No matter how the times evolve, cruel competition has always been the main theme of the realm world.
The content on the mural shocked Feng Qi greatly.
The ink is simply drawn, but it depicts an epic chapter of the growth and decline of the Silver Snake clan.
It was like flipping through an ancient book, with a strong sense of history coming to his face. He witnessed the rise and fall of the Silver Snake Empire from a God's perspective.
At the end of the picture, there are sighs from the defenders of the Silver Snake Empire.
After reading the contents of the mural, Feng Qi was silent for a long time, and then cast his gaze to the bottom of the spiral steps.
He was curious about what was at the end of the stairs going down.
How glorious the Silver Snake Empire was in the past, he could find the answer in the murals.
At that time, the Silver Snake Empire had a vast territory, and the construction of the growth system within the clan was flourishing, and there were already prerequisites for promotion to a strong clan.
After the empire collapses, there may still be wealth left here.
After sighing, he continued walking down the stairs.
Behind Feng Qi, Xiaoyou and others who also viewed the content of the mural had different expressions.
Xiaoyou obviously didn't understand what the content of the mural was. She read it purely as a comic strip, and her expression was always ignorant and cute.
The situation with armor penetration is not much different.
Although the armor-piercing ones who left the mine grew rapidly, they still had too little experience after all.
He had no sense of immersion in the rise and fall of a race and regarded it as just a story.
In comparison, the Thunder are different.
As a former king of a clan, the rise and fall of the Silver Snake clan gave him a great sense of immersion, and his expression was always changing when he looked at the murals.
When he saw the collapse of the Silver Snake Empire, Lei Lei, perhaps thinking of the situation of the Lei Lei clan, couldn't help but sigh.
After walking through the stairs carved with murals, the spiraling downward path is still very long.
The wall next to the stairs is inlaid with gems that emit soft light.
Perhaps because of the age, the gemstones used for lighting have dimmed, and the light emitted is very weak, and I can barely see the steps clearly.
The further you go down, the dimmer the light below becomes, and many lighting gems have been broken and can no longer emit light.
"Xiaoyou, lighting!" Feng Qi shouted at this time.
"Arrived!" Xiaoyou saluted immediately, then stretched out her hand toward the air in front of her.
I saw the space bracelet Xiaoyou wore on her wrist shining brightly, and the light pulled at the space, tearing out a black gap.
Xiaoyou stretched her right hand into the black hole in space, put her cheek against the black hole, and started digging around randomly, and then she found a small wooden stick in her hand.
"Zizzizi!"
The front end of the stick shot out dazzling light.
Xiaoyou raised the wooden stick above his head and used it as a flashlight to illuminate the way down.
This lighting prop was specially made by Xiaoyou when they entered a dark field with no light, and it was occasionally used as a lighting prop in the team.
It comes in handy at this time.
After a short pause, Feng Qi took Xiaoyou and others and continued walking deeper into the Silver Snake ruins.
The stairs going down have been severely corroded, and occasionally there are collapse areas where the steps are broken, and you need to step over them to continue moving forward.
Half an hour later, Feng Qi arrived underground at the Silver Snake Ruins.
What appears in front of you is an empty underground square. The walls of the square are made of unknown materials. They are as transparent as glass. When the light shines through, you can see the ocean world outside the walls.
In the deep seawater, there are many giant luminous sea beasts swimming around, and you can also see the ruins of civilization that have been covered with seaweed.
The scene in front of him reminded Feng Qi of the "Final Battle" on the mural.
This was once the royal capital of the Silver Snake Empire king.
But in the final battle, the entire territory of the Silver Snake Empire, except for the central area of the royal capital, was submerged by endless seawater.
The ruins of ancient ruins outside the walls prove the tragic end of the battle described in the murals.
Reaching out to take the light stick from Xiaoyou, Feng Qi followed the movement of the light and scanned the square.
He found a lot of metal debris discarded here.
Different from the metal debris on the surface, even after a long time, the metal debris here still exudes a cold metallic luster under the light, which shows that the materials used in its manufacture are extremely extraordinary.
Feng Qi's eyes finally focused on a large war machine in the center of the square.
This war machine appears many times in murals.
According to the description of the mural, this war machine was the turning point for the Silver Snake Empire from a cultivation system to a technological engineering system. It was also the ultimate weapon that the Silver Snake Empire had high hopes for.
At that time, the expansion of the Silver Snake Empire was stagnant, and the disadvantages of relying on war to support war became apparent.
A large amount of resources invested in the front line could not be returned, causing the development of the Silver Snake Empire to reach a stalemate.
Faced with a powerful clan whose bloodline potential completely suppressed its own, the Silver Snake Empire could not match it in terms of its cultivation system or growth rate, so it had no choice but to find another way.
The war engineering school was born at that time, and received the resources of the empire to develop rapidly.
This is almost the path that many races will take.
Facing enemies with far inferior bloodline, the weak side can only find other ways to surpass them.
During this period, in addition to manufacturing a large number of war engineering machines, the Silver Snake War Engineering Faction also proposed a crazy design.
They decided to create the ultimate weapon.
The concept of this ultimate weapon at the beginning of its construction is somewhat similar to that of Xiao Hei, and it has a strong self-healing ability.
To create this ultimate weapon, the Silver Snake Clan spent a lot of Tianyuan Spirit Mine.
This is a special spiritual mineral with metal memory, and also has the magical effect of absorbing external forces.
The absorbed external force will be converted into the core operating power inside the ultimate weapon.
But until the collapse of the Silver Snake Empire, this ultimate weapon was not perfected and was only a semi-finished product.
Because the ultimate weapon in the design is too complex.
It needs to have the functions of structural reorganization, energy absorption and conversion, combat mode switching, etc.
In addition, the ultimate weapon also needs to be engraved with 2988 compression formations, which is a super project that integrates all functions.
The Silver Snake Tribe, who was forced to a dead end at that time, wanted to use this ultimate weapon to make a comeback, but the development of technology ushered in the final chapter before the ultimate weapon was born.
During the final battle, this half-finished ultimate weapon made a brief appearance.
In the mural, the ultimate weapon shows terrifying lethality. Every time it takes a huge amount of damage, it will spit out a line of destruction and carry out a range of destructive strikes on the enemy.
The Silver Snake Clan can repel powerful enemies, and this ultimate weapon plays a certain role.
This is also the only war engineering machine of the Silver Snake clan that was not destroyed in the final battle.
The last time the ultimate weapon appeared in the mural was at the end of the mural.
The sacrificial group surrounded this war machine, looked up at the stars and the bright moon, and offered their final blessings to the separated descendants of the Silver Snake.
The importance the Silver Snake Clan places on this ultimate weapon clearly shows its value.
Arriving in front of the ultimate weapon, Feng Qi stretched out his hand to wipe away the dust. The black metal on the surface of the machine reflected a hazy halo under the light.
Feeling the cold touch of metal feedback, Feng Qi's heart beat loudly.
If this ultimate weapon could be controlled by humans, it would be equivalent to gaining a super strong person to take over.
The combat power of the ultimate weapon is clearly depicted on the mural.
Even though it is only a semi-finished product, it is incredibly powerful and has performed very well against powerful armies.
While feeling excited, there was a fatal question in front of him.
How should he control this ultimate weapon?
The murals only describe the process of making the ultimate weapon and brief scenes of battles, but there is no description of the control of war weapons.
After discovering such an important treasure, how could you be willing to leave him like this?
In the following time, Feng Qi began to explore this ultimate weapon, trying to find the switch to turn it on.
The ultimate weapon is five meters high and has an incomplete shape, resembling the upper body of a human being.
It has a head, arms and body, but no lower body below the waist.
After walking around the ultimate weapon, Feng Qi discovered a sunken area on the back of the ultimate weapon.
I tried to inject flesh and blood energy into this area, but the ultimate weapon did not respond at all.
After circling the ultimate weapon several times, Feng Qi, who still couldn't find the answer, couldn't help but raise the magic knife and slashed at the ultimate weapon.
When the magic knife hit the surface of the ultimate weapon, it made no sound, just like chopping on a water-absorbing sponge.
I saw the white mark left by the magic knife's attack quickly dissipating.
As the mural says, the ultimate weapon has the special function of absorbing kinetic energy and self-healing.
With his current strength alone, it is impossible to cause any substantial damage to this ultimate weapon.
Feeling helpless, Feng Qi still didn't give up.
Just when he was about to continue exploring how to open the ultimate weapon, Xiaoyou, who was floating aside, suddenly said:
"Boss, let Xiaoyou try it."
Turning to look at Xiaoyou who looked serious, Feng Qi was stunned for a moment and then nodded:
"Come and try."
At this time, Xiaoyou flew to the ultimate weapon. As he waved his hand, energy threads extended from his ten fingers. The threads split and spread in the air, quickly wrapping the ultimate weapon.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi suddenly had expectations in his heart.
Xiaoyou's innate ability is quite special. She is born with the ability to weave energy. She may be able to crack the ultimate weapon and gain control authority.
Xiaoyou waved her hands, and energy threads flew following her movements, wrapping the ultimate weapon layer by layer.
After a long time, sweat broke out on Xiaoyou's forehead with his eyes closed tightly.
Feng Qi stood aside, feeling pleased with Xiaoyou's efforts.
"It's the first time I see Xiaoyou being so serious. It's a bit weird." Taihang, who was always silent in the team, whispered at this time.
"Silly dog, there are so many things you haven't seen before. Can you imagine that before joining this team, I was the leader of a clan with an elite army of millions under my command."
Taihang looked helpless after hearing these words, but he still nodded obediently to show respect.
While waiting, Xiaoyou suddenly looked happy.
As he waved his hand, the energy threads converged towards the back of the ultimate weapon and penetrated into the groove that was sunk an inch.
Suddenly, the eyes of the ultimate weapon that had been silent for a long time glowed red, its metal body suddenly trembled, and dust swirled.
Just when Feng Qi thought Xiaoyou had succeeded, he saw a light curtain projected from behind the ultimate weapon.
The light curtain gradually condensed in the air, absorbing the free aura in the air, and finally turned into a chessboard.
Seeing this chessboard, Feng Qi felt inexplicably familiar.
After thinking briefly, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this chessboard.
Isn't this the "spiritual chess" Yin Ling taught Lin Ran?
At this time, a dark green chess piece suddenly appeared on the spiritual chessboard. When the chess piece fell, the green color spread on the chessboard and gathered into a forest.
"Boss, I can't do it anymore." Xiaoyou shouted in frustration at this time.
"Being able to crack the preliminary authentication is already very impressive." Feng Qi praised without hesitation.
As he spoke, he turned his attention to the spiritual chessboard.
You don't need to think about it to know that if you want to further activate the ultimate weapon, you obviously need to play a chess game.
This may be a restriction set by the Silver Snake Clan's priests.
They hope that this ultimate weapon will eventually be obtained by the successor force of the Silver Serpent Empire.
And Lingqi is one of the inheritances of the Silver Snake Empire.
At that time, he heard Lin Ran say that Lingqi was developed by the pioneers of the Silver Moon Clan.
Now it seems that this is obviously not the case. Perhaps the pioneer of the Silver Moon Tribe just referred to historical documents and then redeveloped the use of Lingqi.
I heard Lin Ran explain the rules of Lingqi in detail.
This is a kind of elemental war that combines natural elements and plays in an array of elements.
It involves the fusion of elements, mutual restraint, tactics of war, combination and matching, and other factors. The situation in the game is ever-changing. Throughout the history of the Silver Moon clan, there has never been an identical chess game performance.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qi decided to try to break the game.
Holding the magic knife tightly in his right hand, he used the magic knife to absorb the fire element, condensed a flame chess piece that restrained the wood element, and landed on the spiritual chessboard.
Suddenly the fire burned raging, swallowing up a large area of green on the chessboard.
Before he could react, a flame chess piece also condensed on the spiritual chessboard and landed in the center of the chessboard.
In the following time, Fengqi continued to break the game.
The chess player is like the commander-in-chief of the army during the chess game. The arranging of troops and the conflict between the arms are all issues that he needs to consider.
One wrong step and the whole game could be lost.
It also involves luring enemies, traps, and other psychological games.
The process of challenge really made Feng Qi helpless, because no matter how he moved, he would be defeated by the chess path set in the ultimate weapon.
time flies.
When the 18th Ling chess game ended, Lei Lei, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but slap his thigh and shouted:
"I understand. I am best at leading troops in battles. Go away and let me test the waters next!"
When Feng Qi turned his attention to the emotional Thunder.
Lei Lei, who had an arrogant expression, suddenly became weak and whispered:
"I said it was this stupid dog that was blocking my way, so let it get out of the way. I didn't tell you about it."
With that said, Lei Lei kicked Tai Xing beside him.
