The new world was still as desolate and silent as the one Qianye saw last time. It took an hour for the 30,000 army to march into the brand new land one after another. Even though the strongest fighters were selected and the blood glands were taken in advance, many fighters became unsuitable, and some even died directly.
After sending the soldiers who showed signs of adverse reactions back to the rear, Qianye's first thing was not to rush into the depths, but to command the engineers to build fortifications on the high slope in front of the valley, intending to firmly protect the gate. On the other hand, he dispatched dozens of small-scale troops to conduct reconnaissance in all directions and draw topographic maps simultaneously so as to grasp the surrounding environment and movements in the first place.
Qianye himself, together with Carol, was preparing to explore further.
The stone platform in the valley remains unchanged, it looks like it is just piled up with stones. After crossing the valley, you will arrive at the area where the dark gold sandstone mine is found. Seeing the dark gold ore, Carol couldn't calm down anymore.
After Carol did a simple exploration, she thought that this place should be a mineral vein, and it was so shallow that the ore was exposed on the surface. Such a rich way of resource existence can only be found in certain areas of the upper continent of Eternal Night in the legend, and all of them are the traditional core territories of the four major dark races. Unexpectedly, they encountered them at the "gate" of the New World today.
It is conceivable how fierce the territorial competition in the new world will be in the future.
However, Qianye didn't pay attention to the ore veins any more. He tried to lift into the sky. After a few tries, he finally got used to the law of the new world's force operation, and ascended to the sky with a slight wobble. Seen from a height, several huge stone pillars in the distance caught his attention. Those stone pillars are hundreds of meters high. Although the traces of wind and frost are obvious, there are several prisms on the surface, which are artificial creations at first glance.
On the distant horizon, a touch of blue-green appeared. According to the analysis of the Imperial Research Institute, the food of alien animals should contain a variety of metal components. If this is common, then the plants in the New World will often appear in colors such as dark green, blue and dark red. Now the distance is not easy to judge, Qianye feels that the vision is blurred, maybe it is quite far away, and he can only vaguely see that it seems to be a forest.
There is a forest, which means a lot of life, and it is more likely to encounter a lot of strange beasts.
While observing, Carol also got used to the operation of the force under the new rules, and was finally able to lift off safely and come to Qianye's side.
Qianye pointed to the stone pillar in the distance and said, "Let's go there first and have a look."
"good."
Both of them are top powerhouses, they are getting more and more proficient in mastering the force, and their flying speed is getting faster and faster, and they are almost the same as in the world of eternal night. Tens of kilometers away in a blink of an eye, the two hovered in front of a huge stone pillar.
Seen from a close distance, the appearance of this huge stone pillar is more impactful. Its diameter is more than ten meters, and there are many gaps on the surface, which are obviously made of artificially cut stones. It's just that those stones are too big, each one is several meters square and weighs dozens of tons. With such a huge volume, I don't know how to build it.
Qianye flew around the giant stone pillar, and then went to the top to observe, but saw nothing. He pondered for a moment, then dug out a rock with a swing of his sword, but he didn't see anything, it was just an ordinary rock.
They explored up and down the other stone pillars for a while, but they didn't find anything special. Carol put her hand on the stone pillar, felt it carefully for a while, then turned around and asked, "Did you feel anything?"
"No."
"This stone pillar is wet."
Qianye stretched out his fingers, grabbed a stone from the stone pillar, and took a closer look. The surface of the stone is extremely dry, but there is indeed a little moisture inside.
Carol felt it for a while, and said with certainty: "This stone pillar is absorbing the surrounding water vapor and force, and there may be other things."
The air in the New World is humid, but everything is dry. The root cause of this phenomenon is that the force here will absorb water. And this stone pillar can absorb the moisture and force in the air.
Qianye pulled out Dongyue, the sword had no hilt, and with a twist of his wrist, a small stone core had already been unscrewed. Nothing can be seen on this stone core, but through the hole, Qianye's real vision can observe the origin force flowing underground.
Qianye landed at the base of the stone pillar and said, "Let's dig it down and have a look."
Carol and Qianye worked together, digging at an insane speed, the ground kept sinking, reaching a depth of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a blue light flashed in front of the two of them, and a cluster of light blue crystals appeared in front of their eyes.
This cluster of crystals is only the size of an arm, half-buried in the stone pillar, and it seems to have grown there. As soon as it appeared, Qianye heard a hum in his ears, as if he heard bursts of sharp buzzing.
Carol squatted down, looked at the cluster of crystals carefully, and said, "Is this the case after the force of the new world is concentrated?"
Inside the crystal, there is smoke and cloud swirling, which is extremely gorgeous. Even if it is sealed by crystals, it can still feel the extremely strong breath of force inside. Those wisps of smoke are the product of the extreme concentration of the force of the new world.
Qianye's heart suddenly moved, he pulled Carol up, and said, "Something is coming."
The two rose into the air, rushed to the top of the stone pillar in an instant, and stood there.
I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and more than a dozen strange beasts flew towards them. These strange beasts are big and small, with different types. They rushed straight to the stone pillar, and when they saw the crystals in the pit, they immediately rushed in like crazy. As soon as the first beast jumped into the pit, another beast bit its hind leg, flung it violently, and threw it out of the pit.
This bite was so severe that it directly bit off the hind leg of the beast. Seeing that their companion was injured, the other beasts went mad and rushed up, tearing it up and sharing their food in a blink of an eye. After seeing the blood, the alien beasts couldn't hold back any longer, and began to fight each other. The fight was tumbling, and there were casualties in a blink of an eye. Only the strongest one was left standing, but it was also covered with bruises.
This strange beast is shaped like a liger and has six legs. There are several bone spurs on its long and powerful tail. It is about a few meters high, and it is definitely a giant beast by Yongye's standards, but it can only be regarded as a medium-sized beast in the army of alien beasts Qianye has seen.
It jumped into the deep pit, bit off the cluster of blue crystals, chewed them up a few times, and swallowed them. The crystal entered the stomach, and the strange beast staggered as if drunk, barely jumped out of the pit, fell to the ground as soon as it took its front legs, and then turned around and roared in pain. Its body surface undulates unceasingly, as if there are many small beasts crawling around under the skin.
In a blink of an eye, the flesh on the strange beast's body cracked, and bone spurs protruded out, and bone scales turned out under the skin, cutting the animal skin until it was dripping with blood. Accompanied by these changes, its body size has also grown further, increasing by half before stopping. As the size became bigger, the alien beast looked skinny. It barely supported its body, staggered and crawled to the corpses of other alien beasts, and began to devour them desperately.
Rows of sword-like bone spurs grew out of this strange beast from head to tail, and bone scales grew out of its vital parts such as the shoulders, back and buttocks. It was obvious that the attack and defense had reached a new level. After the changes in its body were relatively stable, it suddenly raised its head and looked at Qianye and Carol on the top of the stone pillar, and there was an obvious emotional change in its eyes.
If it was just a beast acting on instinct, then at this moment, it has become a creature with intelligence.
Seeing the change of the alien beast, Qianye raised his eyebrows and said, "So that's how the commanders of the alien beast army came here."
In the Alien Beast Legion, there is not only a clear division of labor among the various Alien Beasts, but also a distinct class. Some Alien Beasts are obviously larger and more powerful than their counterparts, and there are even significant differences in appearance. This kind of six-legged leopard has both strength and speed, and is one of the main forces of ground attack, and their commander is the six-legged armored beast with bone spurs, scales, and enlightened wisdom.
The six-legged armored beast on the ground stared at Qianye, backed away slowly, then turned around suddenly, and ran away with all its strength.
How could Qianye let it escape? The figure had stopped in front of the armored beast in a flash, Dongyue swung out, and slapped it hard on the back. This blow was faster than lightning, and the armored beast had no room to dodge, and was crushed to the ground by the heavy sword.
Qianye only used the back of his sword to strike this sword, because he saw that it had gained wisdom and planned to try to surrender. However, even though it was suppressed by absolute power, the armored beast still struggled desperately, preferring to die rather than surrender. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and Qianye cut off its neck bone with a sword helplessly.
Qianye and Carol returned to the stone pillar and started digging, and they saw several clusters of crystals. Some of those crystals are big, some are small, and some of them have just emerged.
After inspecting, Qianye carefully removed the three largest clusters of crystals and put them in Anduya's space. These crystals can unlock the wisdom of wild beasts, which is really no small matter, Qianye plans to send them to Zhao Jundu to study them with the help of the empire.
At this moment, in the corner of Anduya's space, a small thing suddenly moved, and immediately sent out bursts of strong fluctuations, impacting Qianye's consciousness.
Qianye was startled, his consciousness quickly swept over, but after thinking about it, he remembered what that little thing like a stone was. It was a female worm he had encountered in the maelstrom. It hadn't moved since he got it, and it was always in a dormant state. Unexpectedly, at this moment, it suddenly woke up.
Qianye took out the female worm, and as soon as it left Anduya's space, it suddenly attacked and bit Qianye's finger. The Zerg was not big, but its bite force was astonishing, it directly tore the skin of the fingers.
Unexpectedly, this little thing would be so powerful when it was just able to move. Qianye was caught off guard by the pain, loosened his fingers, and the zerg flew away, pounced on the crystal of the stone pillar below, chewed and devoured it. Those solid crystals were like biting jelly beans in its mouth, and they ate them with a click.
In the blink of an eye, a crystal plant that was bigger than its body was swallowed up. I don't know how its stomach grows so that it can hold such a big thing.
After eating the entire crystal plant, the zerg spit out a large white silk, forming a cocoon, and wrapping itself in it.
Qianye smiled wryly, and looked up at Carol, who was already dumbfounded. She didn't expect that such a space device could actually contain living things. The two had a brief conversation, and decided not to move the cocoon, and waited aside. There is a precedent for a strange beast, and the mutation process of this little bug will not be too slow.
It didn't take long for the cocoon to be bitten open, and a giant armored worm about the length of an arm emerged from it. It raised its head, and looked at Qianye at the first glance, and from those compound eyes, there was actually a kind of intimacy.
It opened its carapace, stretched out two pairs of wings, soared into the sky, and rushed towards Qianye like lightning!
Carol was startled, and wanted to block the whip with a swing, but Qianye raised his hand and pressed down the tip of the thunder whip. Just at this moment, the Zerg has already pounced on Qianye!
But it didn't bite down, but quickly crawled along Qianye's body to his shoulder, stopped there, and kept touching Qianye with its short whiskers, in a very intimate manner.
Carol was very surprised, and said, "Could it be because it drank your blood?"
"Maybe, my blood is special, and it has also opened up wisdom, so it probably treats me as a relative."
"This little guy looks good, but I don't know if he's powerful or not." Carol looked at the Zerg, a little afraid to reach out to touch it. After all, she is a girl, seeing such a big bug, she still felt a little nervous.
The Zerg seemed to understand Carol's words, let out a short cry, soared into the air, and rushed towards the corpse of a strange beast like lightning, only heard a muffled bang, and it slammed into it from the side of the head of the strange beast , and came out from the other side, and the whole process was like a large-caliber high-level force sniper rifle, firing a shot at the head of the strange beast.
