Unlike Li Yao's imagination, the "dark" continent is not only not dark, but the sunlight during the day is particularly dazzling.

The sky here is very clear, a little unrealistically blue, as if you can see the twinkling stars directly through the sky.

Five thousand years ago, it was the place where the first wave of the Apocalypse was hit, and almost all the imprints of civilization were completely erased.

As far as the eye can see, the desolate earth is like a distant alien star, full of terrain and landforms that can only be found in another world, and the earth is sometimes high and high, and suddenly it is deeply sunken, forming a series of craters, overlapping and potholes.

These craters were smashed out by huge meteorites back then, and until now, there are still many meteorite fragments left in the deepest part of many large craters thousands of meters deep.

For 5,000 years, the craters in the depths of the crater have been washed away by rainwater, and the river has been diverted to form circular lakes.

Because of the influence of meteorite fragments at the bottom of the lake, the surface of the lake is rippling with seven-colored mist, and from the ground, it looks like huge vesicles protruding from the ground.

Occasionally, two craters are so close together that the ridges are as sharp as fangs.

In such a harsh environment, it is difficult for human civilization to take root and sprout, but it has become a paradise for monsters and demonized plants.

Countless colorful plants grew out of the large lake at the bottom of the crater, decorating the craters with flowers, thousands of kinds of demon beasts roared in the strange mountain forest, and when Li Yao swept over several craters, he was even attacked by a large group of flying demon beasts.

Once, Li Yao was still in the mountains and forests and discovered some existences similar to human races.

They are all about two meters tall, and their skin is rocky grayish-white, with a layer of red moss growing on them. It can change different lusters and shapes.

At first glance, it looks exactly the same as the Djinn War Clan, but it is only one size smaller.

They were all dressed in the simplest animal skins, holding bone blades made of demon beast bones, and they communicated with each other like human language with short syllables. It was like the low roar of a wild beast.

They don't seem to know how to cultivate true qi, but they are infinitely powerful, bloodthirsty by nature, brutal and aggressive, walking like flying in the mountains and forests, they can tear apart demon beasts with their hands, and then devour them alive and drink the blood of beasts.

Li Yao hid in the shadows and secretly observed these savages for a long time. Conclusions were drawn.

Five thousand years ago, after the first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation, the ancestors of these human races were unable to pass on the fire of human civilization because the number was too small and the environment was too harsh.

In the Dark Continent, generation after generation, their civilization continues to degenerate. In the end, he became a wild man who drank blood.

Civilization is gone, but the Djinn Warclan is inherited. But in various ways, it was sent to them and became their only reliance against the harsh environment.

Today, these wildlings don't speak much human language, and only communicate with each other with simple, short roars, and they have grown blood-colored moss like the Djinn Warclan. These mosses change shape and color, and also serve as a communicator.

Perhaps, if these savages continue to live in the Dark Continent for thousands of years, they will completely lose the last bit of their ability to speak, and they will also forget their identity as "humans".

Perhaps they will stand on the earth. The meteorite mountains that can be seen everywhere are regarded as the "sacred mountains" of their own race, and the hearts of the giant spirit war clan excavated in the meteorite mountains are regarded as the inheritance of the "divine race", and they consider themselves to be the descendants of the "gods" from now on.

Then, it will completely become a new generation of Djinn warriors!

Li Yao sighed secretly in his heart and continued to rush towards the valley where the Oasis tribe was located.

Because he was worried that he would meet people in the Hall of Eternal Life along the way, Li Yao didn't dare to fly too high, and he didn't dare to increase his speed too fast.

Before each speed, the Thunder Dragon is always dispatched to enter a stealth and stealth state, and monitor the route to ensure that there are no abnormalities before moving forward at full speed.

When he finally arrived near the valley where the Oasis tribe was located, it was noon the next day.

This area is a rare plain in the Dark Continent, with several small craters scattered on the wasteland, and you can still see patches of oases from far and near, grazing countless fat-headed and big-eared spirit beasts.

Between two oval craters, Li Yao found a long and narrow valley, and when he looked into the distance through the Thunder Dragon, he could faintly see traces of man-made buildings.

However, on the other side of the valley, there was smoke everywhere, the flames were burning the sky, and there was a faint sound of fierce shouts of killing.

A thick black smoke, like a huge stone pillar, pierced the sky.

Li Yao was secretly taken aback, and hurriedly took out a gray-white camouflage cloth similar to the color of the rock, draped it on his body, pressed it close to the ground, and controlled the black-winged sword, silently bypassing a crater.

At the same time, let the Thunder Dragon also be in a hidden state, slowly approaching the war zone.

Closer and closer to the valley, you can clearly see that leaning against the mountain wall on the left is a towering temple with strange shapes, built in a rather primitive, wild and evil style.

Around the temple, scattered with dozens of rudimentary stone buildings and a few chaotic tents, at first glance it looks like a tribal town that is not very civilized.

This should be the so-called Oasis Tribe.

In the towns, there are many shirtless men wearing only bone armor and disheveled heads, their lips are extremely thick, their faces are rough, their lips, ears and noses are tied with bone rings one by one, and their faces and bodies are painted with cyan paint, and they are painted with hideous tattoos.

Judging from their houses, clothing, and demeanor, their level of civilization is much lower than that of the Six Divisions of Tieyuan, but they are even higher than the other wild people Li Yao saw in the Dark Continent.

They are probably the inhabitants of the Oasis tribe.

In addition to them, Li Yao also saw some people, dressed in well-dressed battle armor, driving true qi chariots, and waving the battle flags of the scorching sun, the feathered serpent, and the giant axe.

They were probably the first implementers of the Oasis Project.

At this moment, whether it was the Qi Refiners of the Six Divisions of the Iron Plains or the barbarian warriors of the Oasis Tribe, they all screamed and rushed towards the other side of the valley.

"These bandits from the stars want to destroy our towns, kill our wives and children, and occupy our homes!"

"Fight! Fight with them! ”

"Tieyuan Six, together with the Oasis Tribe, defend our homeland!"

Li Yao secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and he carried his eyesight to the limit, but he could see that on the other side of the valley, there was a spar battleship that seemed to have been severely damaged, and it fell headlong in the col, emitting billowing black smoke.

A large number of cultivators wearing crystal armor were fighting with the Tieyuan people, and they were inseparable.

The cultivators have the assistance of crystal armor, and their strength is higher than that of the Tieyuan warriors, but their number is only about a hundred, far less than the barbarian warriors, and they can't break through the defense line of the Tieyuan warriors for a while.

"What's going on, it's already a fight?"

Li Yao was secretly anxious in his heart, and manipulated the Thunder Dragon to keep approaching, but he saw a battle flag waving in the middle of the cultivator on the opposite side, and on the damaged spar battleship, there was also a very familiar battle emblem, which was shining under the scorching sun.

That's—

"The emblem of the Great Horned Armorer!"

Li Yao was dumbfounded, and ten thousand doubts popped up in his heart.

"Why, the Great Horned Armor Regiment appeared on the Iron Plains Star, and how did they find here?"

"And they are well fed, why do they have a conflict with the Tieyuan people, and they are fighting so fiercely, as if they want to break through the defense line of the Tieyuan people and rush into the town of this oasis tribe regardless of everything!"

Li Yao's first instinct was to show up immediately to stop the conflict between the two sides.

However, the two sides are in a death match, how can they listen to him calmly?

What's more, Li Yao felt more and more that all this was really strange, as if there was a big conspiracy behind it.

"The Great Horned Armor Regiment was almost completely wiped out on the periphery of the Tieyuan Star Domain just a few months ago, even if it recovered so quickly, how could it have a conflict with the Tieyuan people for some reason?"

"Why are they here, and why do they have to storm the towns of the Oasis Tribe?"

"What secrets are hidden in this town?"

Li Yao's heart moved, and he simply let the Thunder Dragon go around in a circle, and sneaked into the Oasis tribe while most of the Qi Refiners and Barbarian Warriors had rushed to the front and the rear was empty.

In the towns of the Oasis tribe, almost all the buildings are stone houses that are ventilated on all sides, and Li Yao swept over them at a glance, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

Only the temple built on the mountain, no matter how you look at it, reveals a chilling cold atmosphere.

The huge stone pillars that support the temple are engraved with strange patterns of demons dancing wildly.

In front of the temple, there are also four huge statues, which are four monsters with green faces and fangs, half human and half demons.

Among primitive tribes, it was very normal to worship ghosts and gods, but Li Yao always felt a little weird.

After pondering for a long time, he found that the construction process of this temple seemed to be far beyond the civilization level of the oasis tribe itself.

Those lifelike demon reliefs, as well as the four statues, don't look like the Oasis people can carve them.

The Thunder was pressed against the ground, silently infiltrating the temple.

The inside of the temple was empty, and all sides were covered with black boulders, but in the middle stood a huge black stone monument, covered with a huge white cloth, as if it had not been removed for a long time, and it was covered with dust.

Li Yao manipulated the Thunder Dragon into the white cloth, figuring out the patterns on the stone tablet, but only found a line of big characters flying and phoenix dancing:

"The Great Dao of the Heavens, hundreds of millions of supernatural powers, I only ask one sentence - can I live forever?"

Li Yao's pupils contracted suddenly: "Sure enough, it's the Hall of Eternal Life!" ”

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was very awkward.

This temple is inevitably too ostentatious, the strange-shaped statues outside, and the stone tablet engraved with the inscription of the Hall of Eternal Life inside, as if they are afraid that others will not know that this is the stronghold of some evil organization. (To be continued......)
