It's a city, and it's a mountain range!

More than a dozen mountains with a height of 3,000 to 10,000 meters rise within hundreds of square kilometers, they are surrounded by several layers, each of which has been hollowed out, and countless stone buildings are built along the mountain, although not as tall as the high-rise buildings of the Federation, but close to each other, forming a large group of buildings, shining red in the sun.

The style of these buildings is very consistent, no matter how tall or low, they resemble wide palaces, connected by elaborate air corridors, making the entire mountain city three-dimensional, like a giant beehive structure.

Xin Lin had seen the style of the Yanscale City in the materials collected by the Federation, and he was still a little surprised to see it with his own eyes at this time.

It has been more than 10,000 years since the Flame Scale Clan entered the interstellar age, but the city does not have much sense of technology, and the first impression is that it is simple and vicissitudes, telling people a long history.

In the center of the city is a plain surrounded by mountains, like a low pit, covering an area of about fifty square kilometers. Looking from afar, you can see that there is a circular hole in the center of the plain, with a diameter of about 1,000 meters, and it is extremely busy with various aircraft entering and exiting at all times.

This cave is the gateway to the underworld.

There are more than a thousand of these portals on the surface of Scaly Star, leading to different levels of the Underworld. The Scales have built cities around every exit, keeping a firm grip on the keys to and from the underworld.

Bartolok in front of him is one of them.

From the memories of the Takas, Bartolok has a resident population of about six million, and is a second-tier city of mid-to-upper size among all the cities on Scale. The larger the exit of the passage, the larger the cities built around it, and the capital of the Flame Scale Star is located near the equator, where the diameter of the cave is more than 10,000 meters, and the inhabitants of all races are nearly 50 million!

Most of the caverns lead to the underworld above, usually no more than ten floors.

In fact, there are many more holes all over the world, but the diameter is smaller, and even only a few people can pass through, and it is impossible to form a large-scale city in the surrounding area.

Xin Xiao slowed down and flew towards the mountain city, and just about five kilometers away, the armor received a message.

"Warning! You have entered the Bartolok City Air Defense Zone and have not been able to identify your serial number, please enter your access within thirty seconds and stop moving outside the cordon, otherwise you will be considered an intruder. If you are a first-time visitor, please follow the prompts to register at the designated location. ”

The message was sent in the imperial Chinese language and then repeated in several other languages.

Xin Lin noticed movement in many anti-aircraft turrets in the city, and at least twenty batteries turned around and aimed at themselves. These guns range from the usual laser cannons to powerful particle cannons, as well as a large number of anti-aircraft missiles.

The aura of extreme danger hit his heart, and Xin Lin was taken aback, if these turrets fired, even if he had telepathy, he would not be able to escape the fate of being bombarded to slag.

He quickly stopped in the air and sent a response in imperial Chinese, saying that he was visiting for the first time.

A virtual line appears in front of you, leading to the waist of a mountain peak on the edge of the city, where Bartorok's Alien Race Registry is located.

Xin Lin immediately followed the instructions at a slower speed as requested, and as he moved, the direction of the turrets locked on to him, and the muzzles of the guns turned until he landed.

It was a wide platform built outside the mountain, still surrounded by firepower, and a dozen heavily armed Flamescale warriors were eyeing the side.

As soon as Xin Lin landed, two flamescale warriors approached him.

The Flame Scale is also a humanoid race, walking upright, and the male is about two meters tall, which is very tall compared to earth humans.

They are a sapient race that evolved from the order Lepidaceae, so they look like crocodiles or lizards standing upright, with flat heads and long, wide jaws that open like bloody mouths. Their eyes are located on the sides of their heads, brass bell-like eyeballs protruding, their skin is folded, their joints and vital parts are covered with red scales, their legs are three-segmented, and they have a thick tail behind them, which is a powerful weapon they are born with.

The two flame-scaled warriors were heavily armoured, armed with laser rifles, and carrying their long-handled cold weapons, their nostrils spewing hot breath, and their steps were very heavy and fierce.

Xin Lone's telepathy swept away, these two flamescale warriors were both level three, and their strength was equivalent to that of a high-level warrior.

"Stand still!"

A Yanscale warrior said in Imperial Chinese, because of the slender tongue, their voice was slightly sharp, and from time to time accompanied by a meaningless sound of sneering, which made people feel strange and cold in their ears.

The Flame Scale Warrior glanced at Xin Lin with his red eyes, and then took out a probe from his waist and aimed it at Xin Lian. Xin Xiao had already prepared to leak a little bit of his Force aura and maintain it at the level of an ordinary junior general.

With a tick, a reading of the energy intensity is displayed on the probe.

The Flame Scale Warrior's eyes changed slightly, put away the energy detector, and said politely: "Senior is the first time to come to the Flame Scale Star, welcome to Bartolock, please go inside." ”

Xin Lin nodded and walked through the door on the side of the platform.

Inside the stone hall, the temperature was hot, and an artificial intelligence with the image of a Yan Scale woman projected out, leading Xin Lin to the counter on the side of the main hall, and a Yan Liang who looked not young sat in the back, looking at Xin Lin with a scrutinizing gaze. It is very strong, wearing a robe and wearing a badge representing a fifth-level warrior on its chest, and should be the head of this registry.

"What race are you?" The other party asked with some curiosity.

Xin Lin put away his helmet, showed his face, and replied, "I am an Earth human, from the Earth Federation of Orion's spiral arms. ”

"Earth Federation!"

It saw Xin's appearance, and a little surprise flashed in its eyes, "I've heard of your civilization, but in our Bartolok, there are not many humans on Earth, and your appearance is not very popular here. ”

Xin Lin nodded, knowing in his heart why the other party behaved like this.

The reason is very simple, the appearance of human beings on Earth is extremely similar to the rulers of the Galactic Empire, and the two are almost printed in the same mold in terms of height, body shape, and facial features, with only some subtle differences. The most remarkable thing is that the pupils of the human beings of the Galactic Empire are double, that is, double pupils, and the pupils are bright like gems.

In addition, there is a big difference between the inner nature of the Imperial humans and the Earth humans.

Imperial humans have a noble temperament and superior mentality from the inside out, which is a habit formed by their thousands of years of dominating the galaxy, deeply engraved into their genes, as if exuding a light that is difficult to hide.

In comparison, the human beings on Earth are relatively simple, and their mentality is no different from that of other races in the galaxy.

These differences are evident to the Earth Humans and the Imperial Humans themselves, two races of humans standing together, and it only takes a glance to recognize that the other is not their own kind.

But in the eyes of other races, the two look similar, and it is very easy to confuse.

In fact, the genes of Earth humans and Imperial humans are very different, and their internal structures are very different, but they are similar in appearance.

In the galaxy, not only earth humans look like imperial humans, but also several races that have a lot in common. In the final analysis, it is because the human form is universal in the universe, and they all evolved over a long period of time in a similar planetary environment, and they are collectively called human beings.

The appearance of the human race is plain, there are no outstanding specialties in sight, there is both a tough epidermis and no sharp minions, and they are very fragile when they are born, and the vast majority of human beings are weak when they become adults, and the starting point of cultivation is extremely low.

However, the potential of human beings is frighteningly high because of the high level of intelligence that humans possess.

No human race can be underestimated, the development of science and technology is always the fastest, and when it reaches a certain stage, a large number of super strong people will appear in a blowout, crushing the surrounding races and dominating the stars.

The overlords of several dynasties in the history of the galaxy are almost all human!

On Flame Scale, the Galactic Empire does not have a good reputation, as they always appear as conquerors, looking down on the planet. The Flame Scale Clan is even more naturally hostile to the humans of the Empire, and as a result, all human races, including the humans of the earth, are often inexplicably in trouble.

The fifth-level flame scale clan didn't interrogate any further, and with a wave of his hand, a fist-sized ball robot flew over, shooting out light, scanning Xin Lin from head to toe, recording his race, appearance and other information. As for genetic information, this is everyone's greatest privacy, and the Scales are not mandatory.

When the scan ended, it flickered on a holographic screen and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Zhou Huang."

Xin Lin wrote these two words in imperial script, of course he would not use his real name, borrowed his mother's surname and the title of Lord Yanhuang, and fabricated a name casually.

The other party did not suspect it, and quickly finished entering, raised his head and said, "The registration fee is 10,000 Yan coins, what method do you want to pay?" ”

Xin Lin took out a vacuum crystal from his waist and handed it over.

It took the crystal, put it into an instrument next to it and measured it, and nodded: "A standardized artificial vacuum crystal, worth 100,000 Yan coins, after deducting the handling fee, the remaining money will be deposited in your identity card, please take it." ”

Xin Lin knew in advance that the Yan Coin was the legal tender of the Yan Scale Clan.

One Flame Coin is equivalent to 3,000 Federation Coins, because the face value is too large, so the Flame Coin is only circulated among the alien races, and the Flame Scale Clan itself has a currency with a lower face value.

A red card was generated from the machine behind the counter, and it handed the card to Xin Lian, reminding: "This card is your pass on the Flame Scale Star, and it is also your identity identifier, with which you can log in to the Flame Star network, and has a bank transaction function, you must keep it and not lose it, the replacement fee is very expensive." ”

"Thank you." Xin Lin tucked the card into the armor.

He slandered in his heart, this kind of metal card is similar to the virtual currency card of the Federation, and the technical content is actually not high, but it has to charge a renewal fee worth 30 million, which is simply a slaughter!

"Welcome to Flamescale, and good luck! Please walk slowly. After completing the registration formalities, this Yanscal clan unceremoniously drove people away.

Xin Silent left the registration office, and the armored light brain connected to the network to open the navigation.

The next thing he had to do was to buy a map of the underworld and a fire beast illustrated book, and secretly find out the news of the fire source crystal vein.

Because the underground world of Scales is full of empty star stones, the signal transmission is severely disrupted, it is impossible to keep in touch at all times, and satellites are useless, so the map becomes a very important resource.

At present, the area of each layer of the 666 layers of the underground world is large and small, the large one is larger than the surface of some planets, and the small one is tens of thousands of square kilometers, and geological movements may occur at any time, so the value of the map is very high, and it must be updated frequently.

The Flame Scale Clan has the latest and most complete map in their hands, but the law prohibits it from being made public, and there are only maps of the top ten layers of the underground world on the Internet, with a price tag of 50,000 Yan Coins, and few people will pay to download it.

Truly accurate and complete maps are often leaked out and illegally circulated in the hands of some interstellar merchants.

As for the location of the fire source crystal vein, it is a secret among secrets, hidden in the hundreds of floors underground, and the Yan Scale Clan covers it tightly and never lets outsiders know.

Fortunately, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the fire source crystal veins are such a valuable resource, which is secretly coveted by countless people, and the location of one or two of them will always be discovered.

Xin Lin flew to the trading area of Bartolok City according to the navigation directions, landed on the waist of a mountain peak more than 5,000 meters high, found a wide passage 100 meters high, and flew in.

After a few seconds, the scene suddenly opened up and the noisy and prosperous scene came to me.

The entire mountain has been hollowed out, a bright dome has been dug up and down in the middle, and the surrounding stone walls are divided into more than three hundred layers, and thousands of shopping malls and shops have been established, as well as hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, etc., countless intelligent creatures move between each floor, their appearance is strange, and they communicate in imperial Chinese with various accents, as if entering an interstellar race museum.

Xin Lin flew into one of the floors and walked down the street, surrounded by aliens that had never been seen before.

He unleashed his telepathy and swept it secretly, and his heart was immediately shocked.

These alien races can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, most of them have Force cultivation in their bodies, and there are not a few warlocks, and they are powerful, many of them are strong generals and strong, and even the martial saints have found two or three.

However, the largest number are still the Flame Scale Clan, some of them are the guards here, responsible for maintaining order, and some of them are the powerhouses of their own clan who trade with foreign races.

Xin Lin noticed a phenomenon, many of the Flame Scale Clan were followed by Flame Beasts, they were at least above the fourth level, some ran on the ground and some flew in the sky, both as mounts and combat partners.

Not only can the Flame Scale Clan tame the Flame Beast, but some alien races also have the Flame Beast with them.

It suddenly dawned in his heart that the Flame Scale Star had three famous specialties, namely the Fire Source Crystal and the Sky Star Stone, as well as various powerful Flame Beasts.

Over the course of tens of thousands of years, the Flame Scale Clan has developed a technique for taming the Flame Beast, called the "Beast Taming Chip", which can be implanted into the brain of the Flame Beast to connect with its mind for consciousness confrontation or appeasement, and finally achieve the effect of controlling the Flame Beast.

This beast taming chip is the top secret of the Flame Scale Clan, and the manufacturing process is still unknown to outsiders, and they package and sell the Flame Beast and the chip together at an extremely high price.

Xin Lonely had little interest in the flame beasts, and walked around aimlessly, as if they were wandering around.

He secretly used telepathy to spy on the movements around him, and within a radius of a kilometer, countless sounds came into his brain, and after the brain identified and filtered, he quickly obtained useful information.
