"How strong is Mao Qing's strength?" Ning Yuan asked unconsciously after meeting with Tan Xiong, who had landed safely.

Tan Xiong turned around his waist to refine his vitality, and after soothing the pain in the position where his side waist was hit, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and raised his eyes to look at Mao Qing who was relaxed and indifferent in the distance.

"The specific strength is not clear, but it is definitely above the hero level."

Tan Xiong seemed to think for a moment before replying.

Then he raised his hand and arched to Ning Yuan and said, "Thank you, Lord for covering for your subordinates just now." ”

"Don't." Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly waved his hand, "I know that even if I don't block it, those few vitality bombs won't cause you any trouble." I just don't want accidents. ”

"Thank you, sir." Tan Xiong did not refute Ning Yuan's words, and arched his hand again.

"My lord, we'd better stay away. Although they are the same ground level, the strength of each layer of the ground level is very different. With the current strength of the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard, this distance is not safe. ”

After a while, perhaps because the injury had begun to ease, Tan Xiong, whose face was gradually recovering, said to Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan nodded, glanced at the man and beast who were still confronting, and retreated with Tan Xiong in the direction of Old Man Hu Yang.

————

"Finally retreated."

Mao Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and after sensing that Ning Yuan and the others had evacuated, her face turned slightly straight.

"Let's get started. If you wait any longer, it is really possible that you will be dragged to the Xuanjiang level. That would be too boring. Mao Qing looked at the rock thorn dragon lizard that had been climbing although it maintained a vigilant posture and said in a low voice.

As he spoke, a black vitality dagger appeared in his hand, and without any movement, the whole person turned into an afterimage and appeared in front of the rock thorn dragon lizard.

"Roar!" The Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard roared, and subconsciously spewed out a series of vitality bullets from its mouth, while rapidly retreating backwards between the swings of its limbs.

"You can't run." The corners of Mao Qing's mouth curved, and he whispered: "Phantom thorns!" ”

The black dagger in his hand turned into a black light.

Without any warning.

The rock thorn dragon lizard that was retreating suddenly shuddered, and its blood-red left eye suddenly exploded with a "snap", and blood burst out of its eye socket.

"Roar!" The rock thorn dragon lizard let out a miserable howl, and some of the bone spurs on both sides of its back flew out quickly to protect it, and some attacked Mao Qing.

From time to time, the leisurely Mao Qing turned into an afterimage, and the black dagger in his hand easily blocked the bone spurs that hit from all angles.

"Roar!" The Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard roared again, and sharp ground thorns suddenly appeared in the area of the earth where Mao Qing was. One after another, they stabbed out from under Mao Qing's feet.

However, Mao Qing still moved left and right unhurriedly, and the thorns seemed to stab Mao Qing one by one, but without exception, all of them hit the afterimage.

"Roar!" The annoyed rock thorn dragon lizard raised layer after wave of dirt and pushed out, trying to force Mao Qing to retreat or fly.

Bone spurs are like legendary flying swords, constantly encircling and attacking Mao Qing's figure from all directions.

Mao Qingliu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the black dagger in his hand drew a circle in front of him, and a pure black whirlpool appeared.

"Styx!"

I saw a "whine" wind sound, and the wide waves of earth turned into dust tornadoes like dust swept by a storm, and disappeared into the black whirlpool.

"Crack the Dead. Grunge! ”

The black dagger in Mao Qing's hand was raised, and a pure black dagger blade appeared, and then automatically met the attacking bone spurs.

"There's a lot of means." Mao Qing pursed her lips and shook her body.

Two black shadows separated from the body and turned into two blurred human figures.

"Phantom clone!"

The black blurred human form suddenly became clear in Mao Qing's low moan, turning into two figures that were exactly the same as Mao Qing. One left and one right turned into afterimages and rushed towards the rock thorn dragon lizard.

Ning Yuan and the others, who were watching this scene from a distance, were stunned.

Whether it was the black vortex that could absorb the earth waves, or the black dagger that automatically attacked the bone spurs, or these two black shadow clones that looked like living people, all of these were methods that Ning Yuan and the others had never seen before.

The Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard's method of making the bone spurs automatically attack was already amazing enough, but I didn't expect Mao Qing's methods to be even more shocking.

"Is this the means of the Ground Rank Imperial Envoy's Yuan Qi?" Ning Yuan muttered unconsciously, "I'm even more exaggerated than I thought. ”

Although it is also a ground level. Oh, Tan Xiong, who has now been suppressed back to the peak of the Silver Captain level by his household registration, is also watching the battle in the distance intently. I have to admit that he is not one or two points away from a real earth-level master. But as far as the means of the imperial envoy are concerned, they are already beyond the reach of the dust.

The other few who had not really seen the battle of the ground level masters were even more shocked and speechless. Only Iggy and the others were still refining the "first line of incense" selflessly, and they didn't notice the battle scene on the field that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"As I said, it's useless."

Seeing that the blind one-eyed rock thorn dragon lizard still kept casting the earth thorn and earth wave to attack the two clones, and the imperial envoy bone spur attacked the main body, Mao Qing's originally chuckling face became cold.

"Shift!"

Mao Qing let out a low snort, and two dark shadow doors suddenly floated in front of him. Then he stepped into the shadow door and disappeared.

At the same time, an identical shadow gate appeared on the back of the rock thorn dragon lizard, and Mao Qing's figure stepped out of the shadow gate and appeared on top of the rock thorn dragon lizard's head.

Seeing Mao Qing's disappearance, the only remaining blood-red pupils of the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard shrank, and its tail swept towards its back without hesitation.

swept by when Mao Qing's figure first appeared.

However, Mao Qing, who stepped out of the shadow gate, was swept by the bone spur-covered tail of the rock thorn dragon lizard like a phantom, and his waist was cut off, but he still did not move. In an instant, it returned to its original state, and then the body was solidified in an instant.

At the same time as the figure condensed, the black dagger in his hand had been raised, and the black dagger blade suddenly extended into a three-foot-long blade, which was aimed at the skull of the rock thorn dragon lizard's completely defenseless head.

"Shadow Thorn!"

With Mao Qing's indifferent low shout, the black dagger that turned from a short blade to a long blade pierced straight into the top of the rock thorn dragon lizard's head, piercing through the skull and stabbing into the brain.

"Roar!"

With the terrible howl of death, the ground within a hundred meters of the body of the rock thorn dragon lizard, including the rock thorn dragon lizard itself, shook violently.

"Boom!" Thick rock spikes rose abruptly in the loud thud, and the ground completely collapsed.

A huge half-meter-thick rock thorn pierced through the body of the rock thorn dragon lizard and stabbed towards Mao Qing on its back.

At the same time, all the bone spurs that flew out were under the control of the residual thoughts of the rock thorn dragon lizard, like sharp swords shooting straight at Mao Qing from all directions.

"It's useless." Mao Qing shook his head indifferently, his body trembled slightly, and then disappeared like a phantom on the back of the dead Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard.

When it reappeared, it was already a hundred meters away from the body of the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard. Completely out of the range of the ultimate that the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard finally intended to die with.

When Mao Qing appeared in front of everyone in a few steps, everyone, including the militia members who had evacuated farther away, were in a daze at the hundred-meter-wide pit and the smoke and dust flying on it.

Later, Mao Qing asked Tan Xiong to gather the militia team to come back and clean up the battlefield, and he took Ning Yuan to the lair of this lizard colony.

Ning Yuan, who was grabbed by Mao Qing by the collar and carried by a quail like a quail, had a bitter face all the way to the top of the stone pillars in the stone forest. The mood that was originally shocked by Mao Qing's strong strength turned into embarrassment and shame. If it weren't for the afterglow of admonishing Mao Qing just now, and he really couldn't see any hope of winning Mao Qing, otherwise Ning Yuan really wouldn't be sure if he would scold.

How can I say that I am also the head of a village, and I am still ashamed?!

In such a state of anger and shame, Ning Yuan was taken by Mao Qing to the entrance of the lizard's lair.

Ning Yuan, who was ruthlessly thrown to the ground, jumped up with his aching buttocks, and glared at Mao Qing's hateful smiling face aggrievedly.

"This time the pot is down there, why don't you go down and take a look?" Mao Qing looked at Ning Yuan's actions like a child and said with a chuckle. After Ning Yuan turned around in confusion, a look of disappointment flashed inexplicably in his eyes.

Ning Yuan turned to look at the hole in front of him that was composed of several huge stone stones, and a trace of inexplicable look also flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

Several huge historical caves are actually not deep, only about ten meters. In the gloomy cave, which is three meters wide and two meters high, the innermost part is a cave mouth that extends downward.

Obviously, the real nest of these marble lizards is in the cave.

Ning Yuan turned his head to look at Mao Qing with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"Listen to Yang Er, you have a drawing of the Well of Resources, don't you?" Mao Qing ignored Ning Yuan's inquiring look, and instead asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows and blinked, although he didn't know why Mao Qing asked, he still nodded.

Seeing that Ning Yuan nodded in acknowledgement, Mao Qing continued:

"I heard that this well of resources needs four special resources? And the amount is still quite a bit? ”

Ning Yuan's brows furrowed, and he said in an incomprehensible tone:

"Not bad. The basic requirements for the Well of Resources are 20 copies each of the four special resources of Gem, Mercury, Sulfur, and Crystal. However, Yang Yunyu has said that the more resources are invested, the greater the benefits of the resource well. ”

After a pause, he stared at Mao Qing's eyes and said suspiciously:

"But what does this have to do with the current situation?"

"How many are you sure you've collected in a short period of time?"

Mao Qing still ignored Ning Yuan's question, and then asked.

Ning Yuan unconsciously rose a wave of anger in his heart, took a few deep breaths, and said with an ugly expression:

"I'm asking you, what does this have to do with the situation here?"

"Answer me." Mao Qing looked at Ning Yuan with a cold expression and reiterated it.

Ning Yuan looked stunned, feeling the coercion that suddenly appeared, looked at Mao Qing's serious face, and frowned.

After a moment of silence, he replied reluctantly:

"At present, there are only crystals and gems, and if you have gems, you can gather the special resource land where the gem rhinoceros is entrenched last time. Sulfur and mercury are currently only 10 and 5 of the system rewards, but there is no clue how to make them together. ”

"10 and 15?"

Mao Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Walk towards the cave.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and saw Ning Yuan standing in place, looking at himself a little stunned, shook his head, and greeted:

"Let's go."

Standing on the high platform at the entrance of the city hall and looking at the aborigines who stood or sat below with different expressions, Ning Yuan muttered in his heart: "Sure enough? ”

The city monument, which symbolizes the recognition of all the city-states as legitimate cities, that is, the cities established by the city knots, is located in the center of the square in front of the village town hall.

The primary village-level urban monument is an octahedral black crystal pillar, which is about five meters tall and about five meters tall for two ordinary people. The black cylinder has natural etching, and the etching flashes blue-purple light from time to time, making the crystal cylinder exude a magical color.

The City Monument is a landmark building of a city, which will continue to evolve with the upgrading of the city, as a direct derivative of the urban knot, no matter how the urban layout changes, the city monument will automatically stand in the center of the city. This is the center of the plaza in front of the town hall before the player city is upgraded to a D-level city.

The etching on the city monument automatically records the history of the city and is presented in the common script of the continent of Neno to all residents who have a city registration, while non-urban residents cannot read the city history at the city monument.

The city monuments have city maps and navigation functions, and are also fixed refreshes for the city's own population. When a city is upgraded to D level, city dwellers and refreshed new city residents can view a city map and get navigation assistance by touching the city monument to generate a virtual screen.

In City-State Wars, the destruction and occupation of a city can only be achieved by capturing the city hall and destroying the city monument, or by changing the ownership of the city junction and the city monument.

Perhaps because Ning Yuan is a Terran, most of the population of Mengyuan Village that was refreshed for the first time was also a Terran, although there were other races, but they were pitiful compared to the Terrans.

Of the 30 aborigines refreshed for the first time, 28 of the aboriginal races are Terran, and there are only two aborigines of other races, one is the kitten and one is the sea tribe.

However, the refresh mechanism of the urban population seems to be different from what Ning Yuan imagined.

In other Lord's War Void game worlds, the population of the city refresh will be stunned for a moment when it appears, and then it will automatically integrate into the city as if it has been reset without any sense of disobedience, as if it had lived in this city for a long time.

This is basically the norm for the population refresh of simulated construction virtual zone games.

However, the urban population refresh mechanism of the Nino continent is different. After Ning Yuan observed, he found that it was not so much a refreshed population, but more like a teleportation of the population that had originally lived in various parts of the Nino Continent.

As for the reason for this speculation, it is in the anomaly that refreshes the appearance of the population.

Because it was the first population refresh of Mengyuan Village, and it was also the only time that the city lord had a population refresh at the specified time, out of curiosity about this real-world population refresh mechanism that was equivalent to the rules of the game for both the aborigines and the players, Ning Yuan took a very careful look at the population refresh of Mengyuan Village.

After Ning Yuan touched the city monument and confirmed to turn on the city's own population refresh on the virtual screen that appeared in front of him, the black crystal pillar began to emit millilight, and then the natural etching on the crystal pillar appeared from the bottom, flashing with blue-purple light, rotating and spreading upward, until the etching climbed to the top of the crystal pillar, and then from the tip, the entire city monument emitted a blue-white soft light.

After the light dissipated, Ning Yuan, who had already retreated to the high platform of the square, found that the refreshed population had appeared on the square.
