Chapter 803 Ian and others who lack common sense (5800, Happy New Year's Eve!)

There used to be travelers from Yanjiang who wanted to find 'the end of the world', which is the so-called 'other side of the continent', so they traveled all the way south.

In the age when the kingdoms were not yet fully developed and monsters were rampant on the earth, this traveler overcame thorns and thorns, passed through the mountains and ice and snow in Yanjiang, the vast grassland of the Royal Court of Heaven and the endless rivers of the Thirteen Rivers. The jungle, no matter how many difficulties and dangers it encounters, never stops.

He killed monsters along the way, defeated the robbers blocking the way, and also received the support of horses from friendly demihumans, and brand-new luggage from friendly elves.

Finally, he arrived at an endless water area. The traveler from the far side of the continent shed tears of emotion. He believed that this was the sea on the other side of the world, and his journey would also reach the end.

Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away.

Half Moon Lake is such an inland lake that can make people mistaken for the sea, and it is almost impossible to exist. In the traveler's story, this is his last "setback". He arrived at the Eternal Silence Ocean, and when he returned to the Bank of Half Moon Lake again, 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 Yanjiang Third Dynasty, Xi Yanshan.The traveler who traveled half the continent returned to his hometown, and finally led his hometown out of the ancient mountain territory to the big stage of Terra.

Inspired by this, most of the elves around Banyue Lake are keen on pioneering and traveling. Most of the elf tribes wandering in the mainland come from around Banyue Lake. There are even 90.00 %[-]'s elven blood originates from this.

The Voyage Festival has ended for more than half a month, but the traces of that grand celebration can still be vaguely seen on the bank of Banyue Lake, and the air is faintly filled with the smell of fireworks. Apart from the celebration, it also makes people subconsciously vigilant.

Whether it is a celebration prop or a children's toy, the smell of gunpowder will always make people a little bit alert.

Not to mention, by the lake on the east side of Banyue, the atmosphere in the ruins exploration camp was slightly chilly.The tense and serious atmosphere was mixed with a trace of war and murder, and the vague smell of blood was mixed in the wind, lingering in the street.

After getting off the airship, Ian and the others headed to the camp built for them under the guidance of the staff on Canaan Moore's side. The young man looked around the entire camp street with interest, his eyes sparkling with water-colored brilliance.

"Well... most people are safe."

He muttered to himself, not concealing that he was using his prophetic ability to predict danger: "Most of these staff members don't know how to explore the ruins in depth? It's a bit too much for them to be safe, just a few with a little bit of danger. There is a high probability that it is a small injury that accidentally broke a leg while working."

"Broken leg is not a minor injury." Xiou complained. Now, the king of the mountain also knows (in fact, he has already guessed) that Ian is a prophet, and the voice of the whole team will not be heard under the power of the real dragon. Therefore, they chatted very casually: "The ruins have many floors. The first floor has already built an exploration camp, and the second floor has several exploration base stations. Most of the staff and guard knights will operate there."

"The real point is under the third floor—there, the general guards are just dragging their feet, or they are used as bait for death, but when all countries have drones, even the bait is useless. There are many people, so most of the exploration team are elites."

"That's it. Whether they are dangerous or not, it will not be able to prove the success of this exploration operation."

Ian nodded slightly, but that being said, based on the safety of these ordinary staff, he can at least infer that there should not be 'big changes' in the Institute of Alien Species.

This so-called big change is naturally the dark golden dragon that soars into the sky on the road of spiritual disaster—if this scene were repeated five years earlier, then every one of those staff members would be surrounded by pitch-black mist, and they would definitely die... But now, they seem to be quite safe, which proves that at least in this exploration, there will be no such dangerous situation as the dark gold dragon riot.

In addition, Ian was also observing the eight powerhouses of the fourth energy level just now...

Located in the center of the camp, the strongest fourth energy level present, and the host of this exploration, Canaan Moore Speaker, [Freeman] Yafoda Silver Gate.

Silver light enveloped the entire camp.

The great prince of the Setar Empire, [Glow] Carlos Setar.

The blue-golden sun fell from an altitude of [-] meters.

The Empire worships the Dragon Cult, the envoy of Dragon Island, and [King of the Mountain] Yamok Nosdir.

The wind of steel accompanied them.

Canaan Moore worships the Dragon Sect, the elder of the Fertile Land Minister, [Golden Cage] Mafa Fertile Earth.

A massive fortress stands west of the camp.

The Yanjiang Expedition Team, members of Yuanxing, [Zhenzhong] Duo Tieyu.

There are vague fluctuations that seem to be everywhere in the void.

Cangtian Royal Court Exploration Team, General Suyue, [Sky Hammer] Gong Taximore.

The blood energy visible to the naked eye rushed straight into the sky on the east side.

The capital of learning, the tower master of Qingyue Minaret, [Master of Transformation] Shasi Qingyue.

A round of faint light and shadow evolves the changes of the moon phase in the north of the camp.

and finally...

"Uh?"

Seeing the last one, the powerhouse of the fourth energy level located in the south of the camp, Ian couldn't help being a little stunned: "Dragon and fairy... alive and dead... what is that? I don't have any information about it here." name……"

[He is the messenger of the country of the dead mountain, a friend of mine]

The king of the mountain looked up, and the beautiful silver-haired woman showed a nostalgic smile: [Afiboa has learned a lot under the 'Dragon King of Death', I don't know what happened recently...]

Afiboa is obviously the representative of the 'Nation of the Dead Mountain'.Ian recalled a bit and figured out the opponent's camp.

The Kingdom of the Dead Mountain is a small country located in the east of the Heavenly King's Court and south of the Fairy's lair Falling Star City. It is located in the Heavenly Falling Wasteland. rule.

This dragon king once joined forces with the goblin and the four great orthodox religions to fight against the swarms of insects that multiplied in the skyfall inner sea, and used his own body as the coordinate to assist the goblin to eliminate the worm mother—in order to thank him for his efforts, the goblins paid for this worm. The dead Dragon King recast a 'death machine dragon body'.

Different from his name, Timotel the Dragon King of Death is a good-tempered dragon king, and he likes furry or cute creatures like demihumans and fairies very much. He has a good relationship with fairies, and some of them are silver fairies. Learn the relevant ways of sublimation under His hands.

This time, the Kingdom of the Dead Mountain didn't just come on behalf of itself, it came on behalf of the elves, the Church of Spiritual Equipment, the Church of Huaiguang and the Cult of the Soul, and its messengers were also very special, except for [Skeletal Dragon] Besides Feiboa, there is also a silver goblin.

[I'm going to say hello] The body of the King of the Mountain has already gone to the side of the camp, but that is obviously not a gesture that can be easily visited, so the beautiful silver-haired woman nodded with a smile: [You have to take care of yourself]

"Understood, mother." Xio bid farewell gently, as if he was a different person.

The prosthetic body of the King of the Mountain left, but the question was not answered.

"It's husband and wife."

Anfa noticed Ian's confusion, and she whispered beside the young man: "Afiboa and Xiou had a similar experience...but he directly abandoned the dragon body, studied under the Dragon King of Death, and created his own His own mechanical dragon body. During this process, he met the love of his life, a silver goblin who came to the Kingdom of Dead Mountain from Falling Star City to study."

"Their relationship is not very clear, but generally speaking, these two are inseparable, and they have a very powerful combined fighting method. Obviously, the silver goblin only has the third energy level, but with Afiboa, they can play almost The power at the peak of the fourth energy level... No wonder it will become the representative of the major Orthodox churches and become the 'observer' of this exploration operation."

"Long experience."

Both Ian and Isengard had blank expressions on their faces, and the young man was really amazed at Terra's magic: "Both dragons and goblins can become... I feel a little bit about the marriage between humans and goblins and humans and dragons now." Not surprising."

These eight powerhouses of the fourth energy level are the backing of the entire Xenomorph Research Institute's exploration team.

As for other forces, such as Far Shore Island, Flying Flameland, Ganterigum and Ridgefort...mostly because of the tense situation in Terra, they just sent an exploration team over symbolically, or It was the strong who didn't show up, but gave some protection and miracles.

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 with the empire in the Tranquil Sea against Flameland. It is precisely for this reason that Flameland has not sent strong Those who come here... Now that the two countries are still in an all-out war, no one is really stupid enough to believe in the agreement, right?Violating the agreement is the most sanctioned, but it can really kill the fourth energy level of an enemy country!
As for Gantrigum and Fort Junling, they have to face the threat of the Heavenly Court and the Empire respectively... Far Shore Island is really too far away, and there are also some geological troubles on their side that need to be adjusted, so there is no time Send the strong to participate in the past.

The main exploration teams are just these eight, as well as scattered 'sightseeing groups' from other countries and forces.

"interesting."

After knowing the current situation, Ian became even more interested. He lowered his eyes and thought: "This way, we can roughly see the national strength and camp of each country... Seven Cities Alliance and Junling Fort only have the first one. The 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, facing the barriers of the Empire, the Seven Cities Alliance and the Capital of Knowledge, they cannot Power is projected."

"The Royal Court of Heaven and Gantrigum are facing each other. Although the latter is strong and has two fifth energy levels, he has no intention of sending strong people across the border to gamble in a state of war.

As for Whale Song Cliff, they have never been involved in this kind of 'foreign affairs'. As a barrier for humans to face sea beasts, they only need to hold their ground to get the support of all countries. "

As for the others, the Nine Cold and Silent Mountains, Yuanjian Port, the Northern Wilderness and the Dark Mountain Fortress countries are all countries that do not have a fifth energy level, or are attached to a certain fifth energy level powerhouse.Of course they knew that they were not qualified to do anything about the great ruins of pre-epoch civilization, so they simply didn't send any tour groups.

"It seems that the empire is indeed the central empire... There are three normal fifth-level powerhouses, and this is the only one among the countries."

On the way back to the Canaan Moore Dragon Cult camp, Ian was quite emotional.

It's no wonder that princes like Carlos all made such rebellious remarks—if Inaiga II and Mr. Hilliard were allowed to continue without moving the strong city, it is estimated that it would become a stable inheritance that can rely on the imperial capital. Yes, the fourth fifth energy level has been passed on.

In this way, the power of the empire is enough to surpass the other countries, becoming a veritable central empire and the center of Terra.

The Dark Moon Rebellion back then was absolutely impossible to be just a rebellion within the empire... It was a big turmoil interfered by foreign enemies.

But so what?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. At least Ian needs to cooperate with all his strength... But Ian I can't believe that the center of the empire is now.

Yes.Without Inaiga and Hilliard, in the human collective, perhaps, or in other words, there will inevitably be other geniuses in the future—but at that point in time, at that moment that is crucial to the continent of Terra, if there is no Ina For the two geniuses, Jia and Hilliard, the next window period may be hundreds of years away.

Time and opportunity are not infinite.

The scale of the exploration camp is quite large. With the full support of the sublimators and the country, a small city with all kinds of facilities and service agencies was directly built in a short period of time... This is not a rare thing. In Terra, There are often examples of related cities being built based on the ruins. Although there are occasional huge disasters like the Dawn City that was destroyed by titan monsters, building a city is necessary for convenience and speed and keeping the population to drive the economy.

This camp may become a brand new relic city in the future.

On the road to the camp, there were quite a few members of the expedition team hurrying along, most of them were the logistics of the expedition teams from various countries, but some of them were elite members of the official team.

On the way back to the camp, Ian and the others saw a young demihuman who probably came from the royal court of heaven.

He is tall and has a relatively high proportion of beasts. From a distance, he looks like a werewolf walking upright, but he is as strong as a lion, and the vitality visible to the naked eye flows like a river in his body.

This wolf subhuman is obviously related to King Shimer's court. His eyes are like lightning, sweeping across the street, and pedestrians avoid him. The strength at the peak of the second energy level can be regarded as a genius at his age. From Ian's point of view, the opponent His belief is quite firm, and he may be able to reach the third energy level within a few years.

Such a powerful sublimator can naturally notice Ian and the others. He glanced at it, but at first he didn't react, just like seeing an ordinary stone.

Another batch of new exploration teams?Boring, they are old and weak women and children who are not worth challenging...

But the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Ian in astonishment.

"Ok?"

Ian also noticed that the other party locked his eyes. He was a little unclear why the other party was so shocked, so he couldn't help frowning, and said, "My friend, why are you staring at me like this?"

With the atmosphere on Tyra's side, once Ian said this, the other party must answer, or just apologize, or "What are you looking at?" ''What's wrong with you? ' Such a set of procedures, and then fight.

In the exploration camp, the area where elites from various countries gather, even the fourth energy level can't kill anyone. This kind of conflict must be uncommon.The elites of various countries seldom communicate with each other, and this is a rare platform. I am afraid that the major families and forces will not miss this opportunity.

Ian also noticed that the source quality of this Lupus demi-human was extremely active. This was not only due to his talent and achievements in practice, but also because he had just experienced an extremely intense battle...From the clothes From the perspective of neatness, he should have shot with all his strength and then crushed his opponent. He is now in a state of excitement of victory, so he walks on the street like a crab with an unrecognizable pace.

——Should we meet someone who likes provocation again?

The young man couldn't help thinking.As soon as he arrived in Canaan Moor, he encountered the provocative Ten Kings' Blood. Could it be that he had to beat down all the young geniuses of the Terra kingdoms once he arrived at the camp?It's not impossible, the main reason is that it's too eye-catching... It's better to pretend to lose a few times.

And just when Ian was still thinking, "How will I get rid of this big wolf cub who seems to have a little excess male hormone secretion in front of me?"Or is it better to lose the first time? 'when.

Something unexpected happened.

"……sorry."

After muttering something, the demi-human from the Royal Court of Heaven took a step back facing Ian and the others with rather stiff steps.

Then, it was the second step, the third step, the fourth step... He walked backwards like this, dripping cold sweat and moving backwards, until he turned around at another intersection in the camp, and then turned around, walking all the way. Xiao ran left Ian and his party.

He circled around the team of Ian and the others, and ran straight away!

Ian, Ethan, Anfa and Xiou: "...?"

"What happened?"

Ian was a little confused: "Xio, hasn't your mother already left? Or is the breath left by him deterring people?"

"He's only at the second energy level, and he doesn't have dragon blood, so how could he sense my mother's breath?" As soon as the King of the Mountain left, Xiou boldly relaxed his words: "And that kid just now has been staring at me closely. Look at your face, Ian—even when you're running away."

"Obviously he doesn't keep looking at you because you're good-looking... we both look equally good-looking, and I'm still a female template. In theory, he should look at me." At this point, Longnu turned her head and looked at you curiously. Ian 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 in a daze: "Will I be feared?"

"Impossible?" Isengard was even more puzzled than Ian. He frowned and thought: "How can anyone be afraid of Ian? Especially when we meet for the first time..."

"Unless it's not the first time." Anfa muttered to herself, she seemed to have thought of something, she turned her head and said to everyone: "I think we may have made a little mistake in judgment because we were too young."

The elf girl smiled wryly with some embarrassment: "But think about it carefully... Ian, there will really be an official exploration team, will they not investigate other competitors? Even we have collected all the information we can, I also know that subhuman just now, his name is Suo Tuolun Suyue, he is of the Tuntian blood line 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 you. Not me and Shiou."

The blond boy frowned, feeling as if he had been slightly offended.But because he did advance to the second level a few days ago, it's hard to refute.

——When I stabilize the fusion bloodline, the guy just now may not be defeated!
"All in all." Finally, Anfa concluded: "Since we all know each other, it is not surprising that the other party knows us."

"But you shouldn't run away when you see me, right?" Ian was a little puzzled: "I haven't done anything recently... nothing more than helping 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 there are few images coming out because the Baisen Mountains are relatively primitive, but there are people with a heart. If you ask, you will probably be able to know that Ian, your strength is too strong."

"Maybe there is no need for South Ridge. What happened in Canaan Moor is enough."

Yi Sen suddenly said, he was thoughtful: "Guys, we may have forgotten one thing because we have been with Ian for a long time..."

"A person who can instantly kill members of the second-level Ten Kings Blood with one move, and blows away more than a dozen low-level sublimators in the aftermath of the attack, and can go head-to-head with a professional assassin trained by a big family like the Ten Kings Blood... 17-year-old young People. Take out super geniuses who are only one step away from being certified as a master alchemist."

"The guy who sounds a bit outrageous like this should be rare. Right?"

Everyone was silent.

"Above all spirits..."

In the end, it was Miss Elf who muttered to herself. She stretched out her hand and patted her forehead helplessly: "My God, why do I think this is normal? Not everyone is a real dragon..."

"It appears that we may have really overlooked that."

　Happy New Years Eve everyone!A bit late for an update, but not by much!

All readers, wish you all the best in the new year, and have a good harvest in your career and love!
