"There are no organs like the heart, brain, etc.┉┉It seems that it really only relies on primitive instincts to carry out activities."
A captured 'hound' whose whole body was made of bones had been disemboweled and placed on the ground. Yalin used an ice blade to cut open its chest and looked at the internal organ structure helplessly. He shook his head, stood up, disassembled and reassembled his arm that was stained with dark green disgusting bodily fluids. Yalin gained a better understanding of the strange creature in front of him that was beaten to death by him after death.
The bones are hard and extremely developed. From the structure, it can be determined that the instantaneous explosive power of this 'hound' when running is even greater than that of a horse, but its endurance is not very good. The head is covered with thicker bones than any other part of the body. It has no eyes, ears, or nose except for a sharp mouth covered with double rows of fangs. It seems that it does not rely on vision to capture prey. Through some experiments, Yalin can determine that this creature relies more on hearing and smell, but he does not know where on its body these two organs are.
"Perhaps we should examine how this creature reproduces."
Yalin took a breath and endured the nauseating feeling, then stretched his hand into the body of the 'hound' again, and took out those weird tissues. With the strong fishy smell, Yalin had to cut off his sense of smell, causing Half an hour later, the disemboweled 'hound' had advanced to pieces.
Helplessly leaving the broken corpses on the ground, Yalin opened the summoning system and called Nemo out. However, the moment Nemo was called out, a lot of noise also poured into Yalin's mind. These noises are what the "Squidward" in the underground city said, but these words are like a stuck player, playing fast and slow and constantly playing in reverse.
The sound appeared directly in the mind and could not be blocked by covering the ears. Yalin endured the torture of the noise and asked depressedly: "How long will it take for Nemo?"
"My dear master, 73% of this passage has been translated, and the remaining three hours are needed."
"Okay, I understand. Let me know when the translation is completed."
After saying that, Yalin couldn't wait to shut down the system. Because Nemo needed to translate the language, he had stayed in this underground city for almost more than a day after getting the Soul Stone. During this period, Yalin was bored. Lin began to explore this deserted big city to see if he could find any treasures. Fortunately, Yalin found several warehouses containing refined steel and a small amount of Orihakon's magic metal. Due to the space bag, The limited capacity could not transport all these things back to the ground, so Yalin had to convert most of the refined steel into material energy, leaving only a small amount of Orihakon magic metal to take back.
This windfall increased Yalin's material energy by 354,000 points, bringing Yalin's material energy to 474,000 points. It was truly a windfall!
Refined Orihacon 500g: 1200 Material Energy Sold for 1000 Material Energy
In the summoning system, every 500 grams of Orihakon, which is a rare pound, is worth 1,200 material energy. Compared with iron ore that can be exchanged for a few hundred energy for a meal, Orihakon is very expensive, but Yalin is very It is clear that compared to the real Orihakon value system, it is already very cheap. The reason why it is expensive is that it is very difficult to mine and refine the Orihakon magic metal. It often takes a thousand kilograms of mining in a mining area to extract a few grams. of ore. Usually, there are many blacksmiths and alchemists who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy the Orihakon magic metal that occasionally appears in the auction house.
In addition, Orihakon metal is harder than iron but very light. More importantly, this metal has a strong adsorption force to magic. It is more effective than magic-blessed weapons forged from other materials. , is the weapon that any good warrior and mage dreams of.
—Dwarf forge master Gordon Quirot
Even the blacksmiths who are determined to create magical weapons that will be passed down through the ages in this world cannot resist the temptation of Orihakon's magic metal.
If divided according to grade, most ordinary army soldiers and civilians use iron weapons, while only famous knights and wealthy people can use weapons that are infused with mithril and blessed with magic engraved by mages. Usually magic weapons have special characteristics. The ability gives its wielder a greater advantage in combat.
On top of magic weapons are weapons made of special materials, such as fire rock ore, cryolite, obsidian, etc. Weapons made of these special materials can attract elements to the material world without any magic engraving assistance, and It produces an effect similar to a magically blessed weapon. And compared to the magic engravings engraved on magic weapons that will lose their effect once the weapon is damaged in battle, weapons made of special materials do not have this problem, such as the 'Explosive Knight' Kadom wielder in the Red Dragon Legion. Some spears are made of fire rock ore. This spear itself is the incarnation of fire. During the Dragon War, it posed a considerable threat to the White Dragon Clan of Yalin.
The Orihakon magic metal occupies the pinnacle of all special materials. In fact, Orihakon itself does not contain any magic power, but its unique magic adsorption force allows this metal to be made into a weapon only by a mage. Magic power can be processed into magic weapons of any kind of attribute, and to create such a weapon does not require the use of Orihakon as a whole. You only need to add a certain proportion of Orihakon during forging to achieve the effect.
An ordinary iron sword with a little Orihakon can make two powerful warriors risk their lives fighting for it. According to rumors, the former overlord Garserik owned a sword entirely made of Orihakon. The long sword made by Kang, this rumor set off a frenzied wave of tomb robbers hundreds of years ago. Not only tomb robbers but also countless blacksmiths joined the ranks, looking for the mausoleum where the Overlord might be buried.
But the rumors seem to be just rumors┉┉
There is no need for Orihakon in Yalin's territory now. Most of the materials used to cast weapons and tools in the Forger's Hall are ordinary refined iron mined. For the Orihaakon metal, Yalin knows that there is a place in the Mist Forest. There are mineral veins in the place, but considering the manpower, refining equipment and current utilization rate, Yalin has no plans to send people to mine it for the time being.
A honeycomb-shaped building in the city attracted Yalin's attention. After destroying the closed door and entering the interior, Yalin discovered that the inside was like a biological exhibition hall, with many huge containers soaked in all kinds of strange things. Alien creatures, and some of the test benches still have long-dried corpses.
Yalin was like walking in a giant's room. The air was filled with the smell of decayed corpses. Yalin used mental detection to search every part of the building, hoping to find something valuable. Suddenly, the building There was an extremely weak life response in the central area of the upper level.
"I hope it's not some ordinary predatory creature again." Although he felt that the chance of survivors among the residents of this underground city was very slim, Yalin decided to go and have a look.
The central area of the entire building was tightly sealed by several thick doors. Seeing this posture, Yalin was not angry but happy. The tighter the protection, the more important things were inside. The thick special metal doors made even the The White Dragon King's Yalin also spent a lot of effort to destroy them all.
Escape room, safety cabin, Yalin had already made guesses about this heavily sealed room before entering.
"Okay!" Yalin pressed his palm on the gate and continued to use the power of frost to make the hard gate brittle: "This should be the last one."
Seeing that the entire gate was gradually covered with frost and turned white, Yalin felt that he had almost hit the gate with a heavy punch. Suddenly, countless fragments fell down like hail. The gate that was more than 30 meters high seemed to be covered with ice. The giant hit hard with a hammer, and the entire gate suddenly sunk in a large piece. With the collapse of the gate, Yalin was finally able to enter the room that was sealed layer by layer.
The moment he entered the room, Yalin stood stunned. It was not that there were survivors from the ancient city in the room, but that the hall was densely packed with blue eggs as tall as a person, giving Yalin a sense of the original world. The immediate feeling of a science fiction film called "Alien".
"No face-grabbing bug will pop out suddenly."
Yalin carefully walked to an egg and cut it with his hands. The outside of the egg felt a bit like hardened gelatin. Looking around carefully, he could see that many eggs were in a withered state and had lost their vitality, and even some were still alive. Many of them were damaged and there was solidified bodily fluids everywhere on the ground.
Indeed, he felt the life reaction from here. Yalin once again launched his mental detection and began to search every corner of the room. He soon found the only one among the hundreds of eggs in the room that was still alive on the high platform on the left.
The interior wrapped in the blue shell was beating slowly like a heart. In surprise, Yalin gently touched his hand on the living egg and used his mental detection to feel the life form inside.
What's this
I originally thought that there would be a child creature similar to 'Squidward' inside, but through mental detection Yalin found that there were only some biological tissues with no fixed form. The life response of these biological tissues was very weak, and it seemed that they might stop life at any time. Activity.
"Try and see what happens if you inject magic into it."
With the mentality of giving it a try, Yalin slowly injected the magic power of shining blue light into it. Soon, the biological tissue in the egg showed obvious signs of activity, like a hungry baby suddenly getting milk and sucking desperately. stand up.
After injecting some magic power, Yalin stopped moving. The biological tissue in the egg suddenly started to be noisy like an awkward child. However, seeing that no magic power continued to be injected, the biological tissue soon seemed to calm down again. Fell into a deep sleep.
Yalin couldn't help but patted the egg-blue shell and said, "It's really interesting. Since I'm here, I'd better take some souvenirs back."
The space bag has a special rule that it cannot carry living objects. As a last resort, Yalin had to carry the egg and leave the building. Although he still didn’t know what this ghost thing was, Yalin knew that even if he kept it here , it will definitely die without the supply of magic power.
Finally, there is a person who may be able to solve the mystery of these ancient lives, and Yalin is not willing to lose it in vain.
"My respected master, the translation work has been completed. Do you want me to play it for you?" Nemo's voice sounded in Yalin's mind.
Yalin, who had just moved the egg out of the room and was still thinking about how to send it back to the ground five thousand meters high, nodded and said, "Play it and listen."
"Well respected master."
Following a squeaking sound like rewinding, a low voice soon began to sound.
"Our ancient mother goddess Shub Nicholas, please grant our people the final salvation! Because of the ignorance and arrogance of our people, the creator Azathoth has sent down his wrath, and the earth is boiling in the flames and the oceans are evaporated. My race, which has lost all the sunshine and oceans by migrating underground, will eventually face the fate of destruction. After tens of thousands of years, I am the only one left in the city of Addis, but the creator Azato. But Si has not forgiven our clan, and the trumpet of judgment is still echoing┉┉"
Yalin repeated the translated words with a solemn expression. This 'Squidward' said a lot but only one sentence made Yalin think deeply, Creator┉┉Azathos!
"Nemo!"
"What's the matter? My respected master." Nemo responded after hearing Yalin's words.
Yalin sighed heavily and said, "Does the creator Azathoth in this passage refer to the 'panda'?"
"It should be, my respected master."
"Azathos┉┉" Yalin asked after reading the name: "Is this the real name of 'Panda'?"
Nemo said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, my respected master. I only have some basic information about the Creator in my database. Considering that the Creator has created many lives, this name may be just a name given to him by this race. There are many different names for the Creator among different races.”
Yalin thought for a moment but did not pursue the question further and said, "According to this passage, these ancient races of the old era were destroyed by the 'Panda'?"
"Yes, my respected master, if the Creator finds any differences or imperfections in the process of creating life, he will clean it and create it again."
Haha~ Yalin chuckled after hearing Nemo's words, shook his head helplessly and said: "The grace of God is like the sea, and the power of God is like prison probably means this."
God knows what terrible means the 'Panda', the creator, used to cleanse these races from the old era. The earth boiled in flames and the oceans were evaporated! Just thinking about it makes me feel that it was such a miserable and hell-like situation. Countless lives were wiped out in a dissatisfied mood by the 'Panda', just like the author of the story can control the characters he created at will. Like life and death, this is probably the most real and cruel side of the Creator who controls all things.
