Chapter 135
Human society is now a pattern in which two superpowers divide the world. Civilized societies in the original Asian continent and North America, Indochina and the Indian subcontinent, as well as the European continent and part of North Africa are the countries that can still maintain the state organization, among which the Japanese island and the original Western Europe are of a higher standard, and India and Indochina are the worst ones, but at least they can maintain the appearance of the country. Central and Eastern Europe are somewhere in between, and they can still maintain the normal functioning of society by relying on external assistance. North Africa is better than India but weaker than Central and Eastern Europe, which is also acceptable.
But outside of that, such as the vast parts of Africa, South America, and the Arabian Peninsula and parts of the South Asian subcontinent, they have become wild lands, and humans are only confined to a few cities, and the same is true of Australia. But even so, these former human territories can still be regarded as human worlds, because there are still those collection expeditions who are willing to take risks, and the monsters here are still the objects that can be dealt with by human beings' current weapons. I'm afraid it's a little more complicated in the sea, those islands are undoubtedly treasure troves, but if you want to go up, you definitely need a levitating warship, most of the ships that sail on the sea can't, and the monsters in the ocean are stronger than those on land.
Humans can handle the mutated creatures in the old world, but the monsters from the new world are hard to say. A chimera ant, perhaps drifting from underwater, caused massive damage to the two cities on the peninsula to the north and south, and had to be solved by a suspended fleet. So what if the monsters actually land from the sea and the outer land? This is not difficult for the current human engineering capacity - there is no need to build a long tall wall, only to build some strongholds that can maintain and repair hoverships, and can station personnel, yes, this is the point of mobile defense.
In the ocean, it's better to have a long cord that can be dropped, perpendicular to the sea, with sensors and underwater cameras on it, so you can take pictures of creatures that touch the rope. Humanity must first defend its kingdom before it can talk about going out and exploring. So much time has passed, and the technology about suspension has spread, but there are still only two countries with enough industrial capacity to make suspension ships, but this technology has spread to civilian ships, mature and safe small fission reactor technology makes these ships have good performance, and the average expedition team first needs to buy a ship to get out.
The most popular places to explore are, of course, the archipelago and the sea closest to the entrance, where you can escape back into human-controlled areas in time, find many valuable creatures, and even occupy some very strange terrain to obtain some rare materials - such as a volcano that erupts gold, and the solid nuggets of gold are pushed down by the magma from the crater, which is enough to drive people crazy.
In the current human expedition team, in addition to the technical personnel, almost all the members who go down to the expedition to collect are people who have awakened the mystery of "qi", or at least can reach the realm of strengthening themselves with qi. There is no doubt that the leader of the team is a strong hand who can have the concept of "qi" in essence, and only such a person can come back alive from the dangerous new world. While it has a lot of wealth, it is also an extremely dangerous place.
The stronger expeditions will travel far and wide to find riches on the continent of dragons, and the territory of sea dragons, as long as they don't go too deep, is probably not much more dangerous than at the entrance. Not to mention the rejuvenating springs where the sea dragons live, and the fruits that cure all known and unknown diseases, represent a great fortune - because until now, it has not been possible to analyze or replicate the principles of these things in a limited sample. So everyone who can bring these things back, each one of them is sold for a sky-high price. The rhythm of retiring from now on.
What's more, there are not only these two treasures on the Dragon Continent, a large number of monsters with dragon blood can also collect extremely rare materials, from delicious to things that can increase physique and even awaken "qi", and the terrain on the continent also has many rare places - for example, the only dream island that humans have discovered that can spontaneously flow out all kinds of wine and breed all kinds of creatures rich in the fragrance of wine is in the inland sea of the Dragon Continent.
Now, human beings have changed their views on the sea dragons that live in the inland sea in the middle of the continent and "guard" the fountain of youth and the fruit of healing all diseases. Originally, I thought that this was just the strongest among the sea generals, but now it seems that the other party can live in the inland sea of the Dragon Continent, it is definitely a super powerhouse, and I am afraid that it can no longer be described as more than just the sea general. There are four continents in the nascent Earth, as humans already know, and two of them have the existence of the apex of life.
The Dragon Continent is the Sea Dragon - in fact, the real name of this continent is Drogunheim, and the continent where the Sea Demon Chapter is located is called Krakenheim, but people usually call it the Demon Continent, and the other two continents are far away, and no one has been able to set foot here. Of course, the Sea Demon Chapter is also the apex of the continent where it is located, so by analogy, it is very likely that the other two continents also have creatures at the apex of the food chain. Therefore, the Japanese who are the most middle two gave a name called "Four Kings".
The use of the Four Kings to refer to the powerful creatures that rule over the Four New Worlds is the same as the Sea General who ruled the Seven Seas in the seas of the Old World, but the Four Kings are definitely above the Sea General. As for the powerful creatures in the new ocean, even the division of the sea area has not yet been completed, so naturally there is no new sea general to appear, but it is difficult to say whether it is the sea king. The sea dragon knew this, and Hong Long knew that the humans now called him the dragon king, one of the four kings—all thanks to the interception of the sea dragon Montana warship creatures roaming the mist-shrouded metal islands north of the entrance to the old and new seas of humanity, and he had a strange telepathy with his own independent "clone".
Speaking of which, humanity has not discovered the existence of metal battleship creatures lately, these things have been short-lived, and everyone thought that these strange things had disappeared with the disappearance of silicon-based creatures, Deep Sea Habitat and Kaiju Beast. But who would have thought that these creatures would actually thrive in the huge archipelago due north, forming a system of their own......
