Chapter 141: One Year (Second Update, Asking for Subscription)
Chapter 141
On the Valyrian Peninsula, there is no shortage of supplies. Thousands of years of human interaction have made the natural resources here extremely abundant. After all, under normal circumstances, without human intervention, the balance of the natural world would be maintained very well. All kinds of materials are enough to feed the people.
The abundance of flora and fauna on the peninsula is incredible. Moreover, Su Yuan also discovered that most of the mutated animals and plants are edible. It was as if those frenzied magic, after distorting their flesh, had been filtered in some way. It's just that the appearance is distorted, but the meat quality is prompted by the system, but it is the kind that can slightly improve the physique by eating.
What's more, the closer you get to the site where the meteorite fell, the more normal those flora and fauna become, but the size becomes huge. After the hunt, the meat is even more delicious.
Su Yuan also found something similar to a rabbit or vole on the island. This thing is super fertile, omnivorous, and eats basically everything. There is a paragastric body that is able to wrap some impurities, harmful substances, and then excrete them in a concentrated manner. Therefore, it does not affect the tenderness and deliciousness of their meat.
This thing is at the very bottom of the food chain on this peninsula, and then herbivores like deer, goats, etc. After that, there are wild wolves, lion scorpions, and other carnivores. Su Yuan also once saw some blood bees on the island, and even a shadow bobcat. The Shadow Lynx, in particular, really surprised him.
The climate of this place is completely unsuitable for the shadow lynx. In the original work, this thing should be infested by the Neck Ze generation. The neck is located at the junction of the north and the south. The climate is on the cold side. But it is inhabited by volcanoes and has a climate comparable to that of the tropics. Being able to see such a rare thing really surprised Su Yuan. Su Yuan tried to capture the guy, but the speed of the shadow lynx was beyond imagination. And he was able to use some phantom magic and other means, which made Su Yuan return in vain.
Further up the food chain are the super-sized mutated creatures. The giant bear that Su Yuan and the others first encountered was one of them. Don't look at this guy in front of Su Yuan and the others, cowardly. In fact, its combat power is definitely at the top of the food chain, at least the creatures on the ground are basically within its hunting range.
As for the fire earthworms near the fire peak, that's another level. That thing sleeps underground all year round. They are a standard magical creature that can survive by drawing on geothermal heat. Of course, if someone sends it to the door, they don't refuse to eat blood. As for the dragon, Su Yuan and the others have not encountered it, perhaps it has really been completely extinct. But in the fire peak, the occasional roar seems to keep people the last hope. It's just that no one has decided to explore the problem of dragons until they can fight the fire earthworms.
The only good thing about staying on the peninsula is that everyone finally has enough time to explore all the places on the peninsula carefully. They searched all the ruins of buildings they could set foot on, and found countless items made of Valyrian steel.
Not to mention that there is only tile steel, there is no other harvest. For thousands of years, the spark of civilization that has survived on this island has long since been reduced to sand and earth, except for items made of Valyrian steel. And, of course, gold, but in this case, it became the least valuable thing.
Su Yuan has gradually determined that there is a special magic field on the island, which is not chaotic, but it is not very peaceful. The storms around the peninsula, as well as the mutations on the island, all stem from this special magic field. And the source of the magic field should be the meteorite that fell back then, plus the remnants of Valyria's original magical civilization, fused with each other, and formed after thousands of years of changes.
If he wanted to analyze this naturally formed magic array, Su Yuan was obviously not qualified enough. In fact, even if you exchange the inheritance of the wizard, it is estimated that you can't figure it out. But there is only one obvious benefit to this point, and that is that the magic activity here is definitely much higher than that of Westeros.
Su Yuan's body forging technique is essentially to absorb the free energy in the air. Gradually transform the body. The world of the Dark Tower absorbs the residual energy that escapes during the invasion of the other dimension. When Grimm was in the world, it was the revival of the aura, and the world had its own spiritual power. And this world is real magic.
The Valyrian Peninsula is equivalent to the cave treasure of the ancient era of immortal cultivation. After all, the strong, active magical energy here has even caused the mutation of animals and plants. Practicing here is definitely a way to get twice the result with half the effort.
And after experiencing the benefits of this kind of cultivation, the eight guards finally fell into the mode of cultivating immortals and my happiness, and began to immerse themselves in the all-round improvement of this power.
Eight guards, because the other four are already dead. Two of them died while searching for food, killed by mutated beasts. The other two felt that they couldn't return to Westeros, and they had some thoughts that they shouldn't have. It's a pity that they didn't have the strength to match, and finally died under Su Yuan's sword.
And the remaining eight people, not to mention how loyal. But at least for now, it's about indulging in the joy of improving yourself. What's more, after more than half a year of exploration, Su Yuan and the others discovered a secret port. Presumably a port for some kind of military use. More crucially, in that harbor surrounded by valleys, they found a ship, a steel battleship.
This discovery made the originally delicate atmosphere of this team instantly become harmonious. All began to prepare spontaneously, knowing that their fate was in their own hands.
The island has a rich and unique natural environment. After a lot of experiments, Su Yuan and others screened out several wild vegetables that can replace vegetables. And began to be planted artificially. (During the screening process, Su Yuan finally redeemed the first innate ability omnivorous that he had opened.) They dry the harvested vegetables to make dehydrated vegetables that are easy to preserve.
At the same time, Su Yuan and those guards were also hunting a large number of various edible animals, and then making all kinds of bacon and barbecue jerky, and began to stockpile.
Compared to these things, the steel battleship is the biggest problem. Westeros' shipbuilding has always been wooden. And Valyria has actually developed to the level of a steel battleship. And the steel battleship, naturally, it is impossible to use sail power. The ship uses a magical power system that is completely incomprehensible to the public.
Throughout the ship, there is also a complete magical defense system. To put it simply, the ship is equipped with an alchemical item commonly found in magic. Magic Cannon, or Magic Crystal Cannon.
Su Yuan spent a full month and experimented with countless methods, and finally used some cut crystals from the laboratory to make the whole ship ...... It lit up. Yes, he activated the ship's lighting system. It is a lighting device similar to a glass candle that emits a soft white light and requires the use of a crystal as a consumable. It's not your average native crystal, it seems to be a special energy storage crystal that has been processed in those labs.
Su Yuan and the others searched all the ports, and finally found a storage box somewhere in an office. Another larger energy storage crystal was found inside. It looks like it's some sort of high-value item, and it's in the collection of some big person. I guess it's the captain of this ship or something.
It took a few months to explore the peninsula and another few months to study the ship. After ensuring that there is a way out of your own control. Once again, everyone went back to the time when they stocked up, trained, and waited. That's nearly a year.
