National Juggernaut

Chapter 630 Crystallization
Surrounded by mountains, there are waterfalls falling from top to bottom.

Surrounded by mountains and lakes, the distance between water and clouds is pulled closer to each other, surrounded by mist, it is a freehand landscape like ink painting.

Green hills, green grass, mirror lakes, and thousand-year-old trees are accompanied by forest paths. Those docile and cute little animals, although some do not conform to human aesthetics, are not very afraid of people.

If it wasn't for the tight schedule, the war might break out at any time, so Zheng Li had the urge to take a vacation here.

"It's really spectacular. Is it a relic of the local civilization?"

In the center of the surrounding landscape, in the natural lake under the waterfall, there is also a huge white stone statue.

It was a heavily armored centaur wearing mighty armor. As a giant building that could be embedded into the surrounding terrain, Zheng Li was not even as big as his toe.

Although it is obviously covered with ivy and bird's nests due to lack of maintenance and maintenance, the exquisite armor patterns and the delicate expressions on the faces of the statues undoubtedly show that they were once a civilized country to a considerable extent.

Long knives, long spears, and catapults, even though the statues are equipped with primitive melee weapons, there are also exquisite accessories and texture paintings on them.

The overall style is majestic but not hideous, delicate but not too deliberate. The overall look looks like a majestic and determined king.

If it is not for the exquisite craftsman spirit of pursuing perfect details, then it is because the craftsmen have retouched in pursuit of artistic expression.

".It looks like something from at most 200 years ago?"

"Human allies, is this the same race as what we encountered before? Why is there such a big difference."

It wasn't just Zheng Li himself who was shocked by this scene, the new "Avenger" paid more attention to the huge contrast, and he was seizing every opportunity to absorb the knowledge of the new era.

Zheng Li didn't have a precise answer to this question, but in fact there were only a few possibilities.

"There is an existence in that world who has ascended to the throne of gods, which is the reason why this world and this race are included in this land of gods, and if that 'god' dies, or rebels, and the race that has lost its inheritance and protection, will It's quite natural to degenerate into whatever it is."

Along the way, Zheng Li and his entourage also passed by several villages of horse people or wild gathering places called "villages".

There are no buildings, and most of the ethnic groups reproduce in the natural terrain of the cave, chasing prey and eating raw meat, there are no traces of clothing and textiles, and they mate and play in public.

There is no way to communicate with each other, no words, no pictures, and the monosyllabic roar can only be used to express the simplest emotions. Zheng Li doesn't think they have the wisdom to convey information with things like "Morse Code", tools (Stone tools) have no trace of processing, and no one even tied a wooden pole to the stone spear.

"Deprive all the civilization of intelligent creatures, and then remove their cubs from the environment of adults, and let them grow up in an environment without education and inheritance. After only two or three generations, human beings will become wild beasts."

Zheng Li paused for a moment, the possibility of this is actually not high, after all, it is too troublesome.

"Or to put it more simply, destroying their civilization and inheritance directly, driving them away from the original world where they lived, and letting them eliminate a few generations/a dozen generations in a cruel natural environment can also achieve similar results. "

Whether the land of the gods is cruel can only be seen partly from the devastated victors, and the real cruelty still depends on the losers.

".Thank you for your enlightenment."

The Avenger didn't ask again, but he'd gotten what he wanted.

Could the miserable horse-human creature before us be the future of the psychic race?Perhaps, the natives who lost their homeland, most of their ethnicity and inheritance will be worse than them.

Zheng Li took a look at the fading jar with interest, and kindly covered it with cloth.

Although this thing survives strangely, and its psychic energy fluctuations are constantly changing, suitable for adapting to the local environment, but in terms of absolute strength, it seems to be faintly declining.

"Of course, even if it is a high-dimensional powerful soul, even if this jar is the secret treasure/technical crystallization of their civilization, it is still impossible to provide a body (substance) that is compatible with the soul. If it is not that he is already able to resist world modification, The high-dimensional self-contained world, the passage of this essence will be accelerated tenfold, hundredfold."

At this time, Zheng Li felt the strength of the human sword master again.

Without Ge Lili's complete contract, he is still only in the "two-blade" state, and neither Meng Ling nor Ah Qiong is considered a high-end spiritual blade, and the total amount of psionic energy is actually quite limited.

But only formed the psionic network of 3 Blades and Zheng Li, and jointly built this mythical creature platform called "Wen Zhong", vaguely had corresponding grades of "body" and "soul", and resisted in terms of "quality". Without the modification and manipulation of the world, it can barely be called a world of its own.

"My condition is good? Oh, this is the characteristic of our sword master. It is the success of a whole set of psionic technology. It should be traded to you."

For most neutral races, humans are quite open to the four-spirit system, but before entering this system, they must at least register with the city hall and become a foreign human.

As for giving the other party a complete set of technologies, it is impossible to let him build his own "server" and think on his knees.

Of course, if your race is willing to go to the front line, occupy a war world, and act as a forward/buffer belt for humans, everything is negotiable.

First-line technology cannot be given to you, but there is no problem in providing some second- and third-line basic applications. These days, "foreign aid" itself has procedures and transaction rules.

You're weak, you're battered and need time to recuperate?That is also possible, whether it is a shelter or a remote world of resettlement, transactions are negotiable.

At the macro level, saving a potential race that is a natural enemy of the Atel people, or a special race with "high-dimensional existence", is a sure-fire business for human beings.

Therefore, along the way, Zheng Li enthusiastically popularized the local intelligence and knowledge for the Avengers, and at the same time, indirectly told him that the Giant God would never let him and the spiritual race be let go in this beleaguered, multifaceted and dangerous place. In the world, there is no absolutely safe area.

As a high-dimensional existence, the Redeemer itself is a "treasure of wealth", a strategic resource that no powerful race will give up, at least, a very precious "rare material".

Zheng Li, who seemed to be wandering around the mountains and rivers along the way, actually showed him the cruel rules of this world.
"The gods and the clansmen are not inseparable, but after they are separated, both will decline, the clans will lose their protection and development potential, and the gods will lose further channels and renewable combat power resources."

"This is not a peaceful world. Weakness is not the original sin. But in this pluralistic world, if you are weak, you are probably really guilty. Our civilization was once on the verge of extinction. In this pluralistic world, there are too many examples of salty fish backlash. Just because of the high adaptability of psychic races in terms of psychic power, races that have mortal enemies with you, it is impossible to let you go."

These things are just empty words when stated in words, but when there is a "precedent" in front of you, it will be more convincing.

Mortals and gods (high-dimensional existence) are inseparable in this cruel arena. No matter how powerful a single god is, it will be a rare prey that will be hunted sooner or later. Mortals can open up territories, seize resources, and cultivate combat power Groups, even upgraded/mass-produced gods of the new era.

It is recognized that another symbol of a powerful race is the plural and regular release of new high-dimensional and quasi-high-dimensional combat power. The myths and quasi-myths of the human side are not special cases, and the four spirits and the big cities are not the limit. Races naturally need more living space and resources.

"Thank you, human ally, I will seriously consider the future of me and my race."

Perhaps they really listened to it, and the thinking and position of the Avengers also changed. At least, they did not separate themselves from the spiritual race.

Are you worried that you will become the prey of other races?Is fear not worth enough to get shelter from humans?Or is it just a false response from Zheng Li's point of view?

Zheng Li smiled, seeing through but not telling the truth, he told the truth all the way, because only the truth is the most convincing.

The last hope of the psychic race, the redeemer?The strongest AI that survived?When he really chooses to leave the psychological race, he is nothing but a large prey, which is quite good for gambling with swords.
Ahem, Zheng Li stopped his restless heart, and really "gambled" on it, not to mention whether this remote world can connect to the four spirits, nor whether the four spirits can process this "high-dimensional existence", he himself It is estimated that there is no way to go back to the business.

"Human allies, my spiritual sense warned me just now that at the moment just now, I was in a high-risk state of near-death. Are there any high-risk enemies here?"

Zheng Li turned pale with shock, and said hastily.

"That's too bad. Could it be that the pursuers are coming, so fast? We have to speed up!"

With that said, he put on the jar and rushed to the stone fortress area ahead.

Of course, I didn't come here for tourism. This landscape is rare in this world. Naturally, it has also become a residence site for foreign garrisons.

Placed on the cliff is a stone fortress made of red rocks. The decoration style is very "simple" and there is not even a single extra pattern.

And on the flat wall, there are also large or small "crystals" and "colored rough stones."

From the perspective of architectural style, this is obviously not the same creation as that statue. This decorative style of inlaying stones on stones for beauty should be the strange aesthetics of the "Crystal Worship" of the Atel people.

The advancement and evolution of their ethnicity is to form various spiritual energy crystals in the body and on the surface of the body. Basically, it can be regarded as the more "spiritual crystals", the better the quality and the stronger the individual. The decoration style is "stone upon stone" which is difficult for outsiders to appreciate.

They can tell a bunch of things from the texture of the stone, the combination of types, the reflective color, and the purity of the composition, but in the eyes of humans, it is still a pile of rotten stones, or a pile of garbage piled together unreasonably.

".This art style, no matter how many times I watch it, I can't understand it."

However, there is no need to understand, as long as you know how to enter this non-mainstream building.

Throwing the big jar to Ge Lili, ignoring her nagging of "I don't care, I deserve it", Zheng Li dived directly into the shadows.

His condition was not good, so he didn't go through the gate, but just tried repeatedly at the edge of the fortress, trying to find weak points.

As for "coming uninvited", the education of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is indeed quite professional, and Zheng Li quickly sneaked into it easily. Of course, this is all thanks to the exile-level outpost in this "remote mountainous area", which has been there for many years Did not update their defense system.

Ten minutes later, he came out from where he was and returned to the waiting person, but his expression became a little subtle.

"This is a centurion, and the highest garrison officer is just a three-crystal iron scrap clan."

There are quite a few types of Atelians, and there are at least hundreds of branches. Except that most of them are silicon-based organisms, it is difficult to even say that they are the same species.

But in this era, powerful races have their own evolutionary methods, and the Atel people also have a set of "crystal" evolution technology. The symbol of their growth is the appearance of "spiritual crystals" on their bodies.

Each spirit crystal is actually not only a symbol of growth, but also a new spiritual energy source, their new limbs.

This technique and Spirit Blade sound familiar?Um, among the seven sages of the founding blade, there was the technology brought by the iron man sage, and the source of it probably doesn't need to be studied too much.

Due to the different systems, the number of crystals cannot be directly converted into the number of spirit blades, but generally speaking, spirit blades of the same level are actually weaker than crystals. After all, it is quite difficult for them to condense a crystal. The re-evolution of the body.

That day, the domineering ambassador who came to Qiancheng was a rare six-crystal clan. The six-crystal clan was already a middle-to-upper level of combat power, but being the same clan clan in the direct blood of God Ater was the reason for his domineering and arrogance.

This means that the more perfect his evolutionary trajectory is, the greater the benefits of each breakthrough. In fact, his combat power will not be lower than that of the nine-crystal powerhouse of the foreign branch.

Of course, he was chopped off in the end, that is, the decapitation of the demon. Ahem, when Zheng Li confirmed that the long-distance corps stationed was only a centurion, or a third-line team with 42 actual personnel, Zheng Li also let go. Take a breath.

The foreign Atel people with the highest three crystals have an average of 1 to 0 crystals in the formation of miscellaneous soldiers. To be honest, even if Zheng Li is still in the state of two blades, he is sure to kill one person.

But what made him hesitate was the news he had just learned.

"The captain and the main force are not here, are they busy hunting for treasures? There are still treasures in this fringe world?"
