Chapter 151: The Last Piece of the Puzzle (for 'SSGO')
Not only Wren and the others, but the Coleman warriors of the entire tribe rushed out of the house when they heard the sound of the horn.
As far as the eye could see, at the other end of the valley, outside the gate of the tall and pointed wood, a group of large demonic beasts numbering more than thirty appeared. They hissed and ran towards the stockade.
Obviously, the warriors of the tribe are already very experienced in dealing with this kind of Warcraft invasion.
As soon as the horn of war sounded, someone picked up a weapon and rushed out.
"Those damn drakemons are here again!"
"Hunting party, follow me!"
"Don't let them rush into the tribe, quick!"
"What about artillery... Teach us artillery with Mr. Tuxter! ”
“...”
After seeing clearly that it was the Warcraft "Earth Dragon" that was attacking, what should the vast majority of people do, it is obviously not the first time they have encountered this situation. The clansmen know very well that those intruding demonic beasts naturally have the warriors of the hunting team to drive them away and not to hunt them.
Wu Duo also frowned, and said to Rennes: "Let's go, let's continue to eat." It was a ground dragon that had escaped from the 'Kalat Basin' to the south, and they would occasionally get lost and come to this side of the forest to hunt for food. ”
"Ahh Earthworm? ”
Wren was not very calm when he saw those monsters, because the appearance of those monsters was almost exactly the same as the "dinosaurs" in his impression.
The few screaming and fierce two-legged earth dragons in the lead are not "Tyrannosaurus Rex"?
Behind it, there are "Triceratops", "Tyrannosaurus", "Brute Dragon"...
The way he feels now is similar to the feeling of walking through "Jurassic Park".
"Roar~~~"
And at this moment, the leading black Tyrannosaurus Rex snorted again, and the sonic waves visible to the naked eye instantly swept through the entire valley, making people's hairs stand on end. Looking at it again, the monster mounts under the pursuing Coleman warriors were also slightly unbearable, hesitating, and seemed to have a kind of bloody coercion and fear for those dinosaurs.
Udo watched Wren staring at those dinosaurs intently, thinking that he was curious about the first time he had seen this kind of magical beast, so he introduced: "The Earth Dragon Beast is a hybrid descendant of the black dragon and the ground lizard on the 'Aklon Mountains'. They have a bit of dragon blood, so they have bloodline power over other demonic beasts. ”
Speaking of this, she simply explained it in detail: "This kind of earth dragon is very fierce, and their combat power is at least half a rank for ordinary demonic beasts of the same level. Don't look at the leading earth dragon is only a fourth-order, ordinary fifth-order demonic beasts can't help it. What's more, it's not just those who run on the ground, those who fly in the sky, and those who swim in the water... To the south, in the 'Karathva Basin', there are at least a hundred of these strange wurms. ”
What's that?
Were dinosaurs a cross between a black dragon and a ground lizard?
Hearing this, Wren suddenly felt that he had a long insight.
He was curious: "Udo, there are a lot of various wurms in that 'Karatva Basin' you are talking about?" ”
"That's right! A lot! ”
Udo said: "In the past, the hunting team of our tribe went to explore, but the 'Karathwa Basin' is very large, and there are many powerful wurms, so they have not explored deeply, and no one knows how many there are. But they seldom come out of the basin, and occasionally some of them get lost and come to this side of the forest..."
Wren also called out "good guy" when he heard it, that black dragon created a large dinosaur race by himself!
How many alien creatures did that black dragon strengthen to create a huge amphibious wurm race in water, land, and air?
If it was usual, it would be lively, but now there are more things in Wren's mind.
Because his teacher Ilubeck has studied the genetic aspects of blood very thoroughly.
There is no reproductive isolation, which means that the bloodline gene chain is richer!
If these huge numbers and diverse groups of dinosaurs were really created by the black dragon over the past thousands of years.
That means it's not reproductively isolated, or rather restrictive!
So... It also means that the bloodline of that black dragon is very pure, and even the direct descendants of those dragons as powerful as gods in myths and legends can have such a complex gene chain!
It is said that dragon eggs can be left in a specific environment for countless years before hatching. The world has never heard of a second dragon, so it is possible that it is a dragon egg left over from an ancient period, and it suddenly hatched in this era.
Thinking of this, Wren couldn't help but wonder: "Is that black dragon still alive?" ”
He felt that if his teacher Ilubeck was here, he would definitely not be able to stop him from slaying the dragon and studying the combination of the black dragon's gene chain.
Even Wren himself, the heart of the "Dragon Slayer Warrior" has sprouted stupidly.
Udo: "It should be alive." But no one knows where it is... Our ancestors of the Coleman clan saw it fly through the forest five hundred years ago. ”
"Oh..."
Wren looked at the vast mountains at the end of his vision, and his gaze deepened.
How many secrets are hidden in this "Alcolon Mountains"...
.......
Hey... South?
Suddenly!
Wren looked at the Alcolon Mountains in the distance, hazy in the fog, and a thought flashed through his mind that made his blood stir!
His eyes flew, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might have thought of a "shocking discovery"!
He hurriedly asked, "Udo, how far to the south is the 'Karathva Basin' you are talking about?" Can you point me in the exact direction? ”
Uduo didn't know why Wren suddenly became so excited, and pointed to a big snowy mountain at the end of his field of vision and said, "Do you see that snowy mountain over there?" We call it 'Gabalala', and further south is the Karathwa Basin. ”
Wren asked, "How far?" ”
Wu Duo thought for a while and said, "If my snow mastiff is concerned, it will normally take seven or eight days to run..."
The distance measurement unit of the Coleman clan is not a kilometer, but riding a Warcraft "half a day", "one day"... distance.
"That's fifteen degrees south-west of this place, about 10,000 kilometers?"
Wren roughly estimated the speed of the snow mastiff in the jungle and came up with an approximate location.
Then, the essence in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he exclaimed in his heart: "It's really right!" ”
The reason why he was so excited was because that coordinate... It almost overlapped with a coordinate in his head!
........
This foggy world is vast and sparsely populated, and it's easy to get lost.
The sense of direction is foreign to others, and few people can tell exactly where they are in this land, except for the transcendence of the perception system.
But for Wren, who has a "smart brain", it is not a problem at all.
He doesn't need to distinguish it, all the routes he has traveled will be automatically recorded and located.
Moreover, the "smart brain" will also automatically recognize all the maps that Wren has seen to form a precise positioning.
Just like a satellite map, as long as there are enough references, the system can automatically correct the map scale and pinpoint exactly where it is now.
Previously, he had seen a detailed strategic map of the two empires in the study of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and he already had a relatively clear idea of the territory of the two empires and the misty area of the Alcoron Mountains in his heart.
Now, by this comparison, he found a problem!
In Udo's mouth, the "Karatva Basin" in the southwest of this forest is indeed an "unexplored fog area" that is not marked on the map of any of the two empires...
But that coordinate point is very close to another place.
That's... Baron Morin recorded in his diary that the place where the wreckage of the airship was found in their hunting group!
As soon as the system locates the map, the line described by Baron Morin extends, and Wren is almost certain that the "airship wreckage" is in that dinosaur basin!
......
Moreover, this discovery is not as simple as coincident.
Wren also found a very crucial point.
That was the original Baron Morin's wilderness hunting team, which set out from the northeast of the Side Empire, and then got lost, entering an "unknown fog area" where they did not know the coordinates.
If this "unknown area" is the Karathva Basin, then it means that they have found a way to cross the "Alcolon Mountains"!
Because this basin is on the west side of the mountain range!
The Alcoron Mountains, which are known to run from north to south, were a natural barrier that separated the empires of Side and Omar on the eastern side of the mountains.
So far, humanity has only found one place that can successfully cross the Alcolon Mountains, and that is the "Ringing Wind Pass" controlled by the Radiant City!
It is precisely because of this choke point that the Radiant City has a geographical advantage that no city can match.
If the hunters want to go to the west of the mountains to hunt the wilderness, and the caravans want to do business, they must pass through the Xiangfeng Pass to collect taxes and pay entry fees into the city!
And the fundamental reason why Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is so difficult to build a city is because this choke point is choked by the Five Great Masters of Radiance City, and all the resources she needs must come from that "only" road. In the future, whether it is trade or the relocation of the people, it must be agreed by the five major families!
Obviously, the Radiant City did not intend for the eldest princess to build a city here.
If there is no large mechanical city to protect the people, all of Ymir's New Deal plans are just talk on paper, and even in this dangerous land, even survival is a problem!
But now,
It's not the only one!
If Wren's conjecture is correct, then it is very likely that there is a choke point in the Karathva Basin, which is headed south along here, and that can lead people directly from the Side Empire to the west of the Alcolon Mountains!
This breaks the strategic monopoly of the Shining City!
If the eldest princess wants to build a city, this is definitely the best entry point to break the game.
Moreover, the wreckage of that airship is also very likely to be in the Karathva Basin, and it is completely possible to build a second Shining City in that location!
As soon as this thought came to mind, the thoughts in my head drifted uncontrollably.
He even faintly saw a "City of Hope" that was about to rise!
.......
But suddenly, Wren thought about it, and his brows furrowed again: "Huh... Listening to Wu Duo, it is a dinosaur paradise, and there are groups of high-level demonic beasts, so it doesn't seem to be a good place to build a city. Moreover, that airship was clearly a product of a higher mechanical civilization, and if it wasn't for a mechanical failure to fall, what could have knocked it down? ”
Thinking of this, the hideous appearance of a black dragon came to mind.
"It can't be the black dragon, right?"
Wren suddenly felt a little painful.
If those wurms are generally one order higher than the combat power of the same level of demonic beasts, how much higher are the pure-blooded black dragons?
There is no need to assume that this kind of overlord-level magical beast can make the airship fall, and it is estimated that the "Ten Legends" will not be able to fight it if they go together.
Uduo on the side looked at Wren's face changing, and asked curiously, "Doctor Wren, what's wrong?" ”
"Huh..."
Turning his mind back to reality, Wren turned his face to look at the dazed Udo, and then at the Coleman warriors in the tribe who were driving the dinosaurs, and suddenly another thought came to his mind!
But that idea was obviously not mature enough, and he needed to make sure of something first, so he said, "Udo, do you have a detailed map of this area in your tribe?" ”
"Maps? Yes..."
"All the major tribes have drawn up hunting maps. But... The most complete is still in the bamboo building of the witch priest. ”
When Wren heard this, in order to confirm his previous conjecture, he hurriedly asked, "Can outsiders see the map?" ”
The map stored in the "Wisdom Brain" is like a puzzle, and it has been put together. Now he lacks a piece near the "Forest of Ashes" to connect this large area of land.
Uduo blinked in confusion and said, "Yes." ”
Before she could finish speaking, Wren grabbed her wrist, "Let's go!" Take me to see the map, I want to confirm something. ”
Udo: "Huh? Haven't you eaten? ”
Wren: "I'll eat later." ”
.......
A short time later, Wren saw the map of the Forest of Ashes drawn on the hides of the beast in the bamboo building.
Not just the whole of the forest, but also the plague swamps, the redstone canyons, the miasma wetlands... These peripheral landmarks are also very well marked.
Although the scale of the map is not very accurate, the "Zhi Brain" corrected it according to the reference one, which is still enough for Wren to determine that the "Karathva Basin" is the place where the airship mutilated and fell!
Finally, looking at the map, he was sure that everything he had speculated before was correct.
After a short time, Wu Duo left the bamboo building, and only two people remained.
Marfa looked at Wren with a serious face, smiled and asked, "Dr. Wren, do you have something to say to me?" ”
Wren looked at the wise old man solemnly and asked, "Lord Witch, it's not an offense, but I want to ask, do you really plan to let all the tribesmen be buried in this war..."
