The new world is still as desolate and silent as the last time Thousand Nights saw it. It took an hour for the 30,000-strong army to march into the new land. Although the strongest fighters were selected and the blood glands were taken in advance, there were still many fighters who did not adapt, and some even died directly.

After sending the warriors who showed signs of adverse reactions back to the rear, the first thing Qianye did was not to rush deeper, but to direct the sappers to build fortifications on the high slopes in front of the valley, intending to firmly protect the gates. On the other hand, he sent dozens of small units to reconnoiter in all directions and draw topographic maps simultaneously in order to grasp the surrounding environment and movements at the first time.

Chiya herself, along with Carol, prepares to explore further.

The stone platforms in the valley are still unchanged, and they look like they are just piles of stones. Crossing the valley, you will reach the area where the dark gold sandstone mine has been found. Seeing the patches of dark gold ore, Carol couldn't calm down.

After a brief investigation, Carol decided that it should be a vein, and that it was so shallow that the ore was exposed to the surface. Such a rich resource existence method can only be found in the legends, in individual areas of the Upper Continent of Eternal Night, all of which are the traditional core territories of the four dark races, but today they were encountered at the 'gate' of the New World.

One can imagine how fierce the competition for territory in the New World will be in the future.

Qianye didn't pay attention to the veins anymore, he tried to lift off, and after a few attempts, he finally adapted to the laws of the New World's Force, and rose into the sky with a slight shaking. From above, several huge stone pillars in the distance caught his attention. Those stone pillars are hundreds of meters high, although the traces of wind and frost are obvious, but there are several prisms on the surface, and at first glance they are man-made.

On the distant horizon, a blush of green. According to the Imperial Academy's analysis, the food of the beast should contain a variety of metals, and if this is universal, then the plants of the New World tend to take on colors such as dark green, blue, and dark red. The distance is not easy to judge now, and Qianye feels that his vision is blurred, perhaps quite far away, and he can only faintly see that it seems to be a forest.

Having a forest means a lot of life, and it's more likely to encounter a lot of strange beasts.

While observing, Carol also got used to the operation of the Force under the new rules, and was finally able to rise into the air safely and come to Qianye's side.

Qianye pointed to the stone pillar in the distance and said, "Let's go there first." ”

"Good. ”

Both of them are top powerhouses, becoming more and more proficient in mastering the Force, and flying faster and faster, so that they are almost as good as they are in the world of eternal night. Dozens of kilometers away in the blink of an eye, and the two hovered in front of a boulder pillar.

From a close look, the appearance of this boulder pillar is more impactful, its diameter is more than ten meters, there are gaps on the surface, and it is obviously made of artificially cut stones. It's just that the stones are so big, each several meters square, weighs dozens of tons. With such a huge volume, I don't know how to get on it.

Qianye flew around the boulder pillar, and then looked at the top, but saw nothing. He groaned and dug down a stone with his sword, but he didn't see anything, just an ordinary rock.

They explored the other pillars for a long time, but found nothing out of the ordinary. Carol put her hand on the stone pillar, felt it carefully for a moment, then turned back and asked, "Did you feel anything?"

"No, I don't. ”

"This pillar is wet. ”

Qianye stretched out his fingers and grabbed a stone from the stone pillar and looked at it carefully. The surface of the stone is unusually dry, but there is a bit of moisture inside.

Carol felt it for a moment, and then said affirmatively, "This pillar is sucking up the water vapor and Force around it, and maybe something else. ”

The New World is humid but dry, and the root cause of this phenomenon is that the Force here draws water. And this stone pillar is able to absorb the moisture and force in the air.

Qianye pulled out Dongyue, a sword without a handle, and then with a twist of his wrist, a small stone core had been spun out. There was nothing to be seen on this stone core, but through the hole, Chiya's true vision could see the Force flowing underground.

Qianye fell at the base of the stone pillar and said, "Let's dig it down and see." ”

Carol and Qianye started together, the digging speed was crazy, and the ground continued to sink, reaching a depth of more than ten meters in a blink of an eye. A flash of blue light suddenly flashed in front of the two of them, and a cluster of light blue crystals appeared in front of them.

The cluster of crystals, the size of an arm, was half-buried in a stone pillar, and it looked like it had grown there. As soon as it appeared, there was a buzzing sound in Qianye's ears, as if he heard a sharp buzz.

Carol crouched down, carefully examined the cluster of crystals, and said, "After the Force of the New World is condensed, is this it?"

There is a cloud of smoke swirling in the crystal, which is extremely gorgeous. Even if it is sealed by the crystal, you can feel the extremely rich force aura inside. That wisp of smoke is the product of the extreme concentration of the New World Force.

Qianye's heart suddenly moved, pulled Carol up, and said, "Something is coming." ”

The two of them rose into the air, instantly rushed to the top of the stone pillar, and stood on it.

I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and more than ten strange beasts flew in. These beasts are large and small, and their species are different. They rushed straight to the bottom of the stone pillar, and as soon as they saw the crystals in the pit, they immediately pounced on them like crazy. As soon as the first beast jumped into the pit, its hind legs were bitten by another beast, and it was thrown out of the pit.

This bite was extremely heavy, directly biting off the hind legs of the strange beast. Seeing that their companion was injured, the other beasts all went berserk, swarmed up, and in the blink of an eye, they tore it apart and ate it. After seeing the blood, the beasts could no longer hold back, and began to fight each other, fighting and rolling, and in the blink of an eye, there were dead and wounded, and only the strongest one was still standing, but it was already covered in scaly wounds.

The beast was shaped like a lion and tiger, with six legs and several bone spurs on its long, powerful tail. It is about a few meters tall, and it is definitely a giant beast by the standards of eternal night, but among the alien beast legions that Thousand Nights have seen, it can only be regarded as about medium.

It jumped into the pit, bit down on the cluster of blue crystals, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. As if drunk, the beast staggered, barely jumped out of the pit, and fell to the ground as soon as it took a step on its front legs, and then tossed and turned and roared in pain. The surface of its body is constantly undulating, like many small beasts burrowing under its skin.

In the blink of an eye, the flesh and skin of the alien beast cracked, bone spurs stretched out, and pieces of bone scales turned out under the skin, cutting the animal skin into blood. Along with these changes, it also grew in size, increasing by half a small size before stopping. As it grew larger, the beast became scrawny, barely bracing its body, staggering to the carcasses of the other beasts, and began to devour it desperately.

This strange beast grew rows of sword bone spurs from head to tail, and bone scales were all born in key places such as shoulders, back and back of the hips, showing that the attack and defense had reached a new level. After the changes in its body were relatively stable, it suddenly looked up and looked at Qianye and Carol on the top of the stone pillar, and there was a clear change of mood in its eyes.

If just now it was a beast acting on instinct, then at this moment, it has become a creature with intelligence.

Seeing the changes in the alien beasts, Qianye raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that those commanders in the alien beast legion came here like this. ”

In the Alien Beast Legion, there is not only a clear division of labor between the various alien beasts, but also a clear hierarchy, some alien beasts are obviously larger and more powerful than their peers, and even have significant differences in appearance. This six-legged leopard combines strength and speed, and is one of the main forces of ground attacks, and their commander is the six-legged armored beast in front of them, which grows bone spurs, scales, and wisdom.

The six-legged armored beast on the ground stared at Qianye, slowly retreated, and then suddenly turned around and fled.

How could Qianye let it escape? The figure had stopped in front of the armored beast in a flash, Dongyue swung it out and slapped it heavily on the back, this blow was faster than lightning, and the armored beast had no room to dodge at all, and was crushed by the heavy sword and fell to the ground.

Qianye's sword only used the back of the sword to strike, because he saw that it had wisdom and planned to try to surrender. However, even though it was suppressed by absolute power, the armored beast still struggled desperately, preferring to die rather than surrender. The two sides froze for a while, and Chiya helplessly slashed its neck bone with a sword.

Chiya and Carol returned to the stone pillar and began to dig, and sure enough, they saw several clusters of crystals. Some of those crystals are big, some are small, and some of them are just popping up.

After inspecting it, Qianye carefully removed the three largest crystals and put them into Adua's space. It is really remarkable that these crystals can unlock the wisdom of beasts, and Qianye intends to send them to Zhao Jundu to study them with the help of the power of the empire.

At this moment, in the corner of the Anduaspace, a small thing suddenly moved, and immediately sent out bursts of strong fluctuations, impacting Qianye's consciousness.

Frightened by a thousand nights, his consciousness quickly swept over, but after thinking about it, he remembered what that little thing like a stone was. It was a female worm he had encountered in the maelstrom, and it had not moved since it got its hand, and it was always dormant, but at this moment, it suddenly woke up.

Qianye took out the female worm, and as soon as it left Andua's space, it suddenly became difficult and bit on Qianya's finger. The insect is not big, but the bite is extremely amazing, and it directly tears the skin of the finger.

I didn't expect this little thing to be so strong just after it could move, and under the pain of a thousand nights, his fingers loosened, and the insect flew away from his hand, pounced on the crystal of the stone pillar below, and chewed and devoured it. The solid crystals in its mouth clicked like jelly beans.

In the blink of an eye, a crystal larger than its body was swallowed clean, and I don't know how its belly grows, and it can hold such a big thing.

After eating the whole crystal, the insect spits out a large mass of white silk, forms a cocoon, and envelops itself inside.

Qianye smiled bitterly and looked up at Carol, who was already dumbfounded, she didn't expect that such a space device could actually put living creatures. The two of them talked briefly for a few words, and decided not to move the insect cocoon, and waited on the side first, there is a precedent for foreign beasts, and the mutation process of this little insect will not be too slow.

It didn't take long for the cocoon to be bitten through, and out of it came a giant insect covered in armor and about the length of an arm. It looked up, and at first glance it looked at Qianye, and from those compound eyes, there was actually a kind of closeness.

It opened its back armor, stretched out two pairs of wings, and soared into the air, swooping down like lightning towards a thousand nights!

Carol was startled and wanted to whip her to intercept it, but Qianye raised her hand and pressed the tip of the thunder whip down. At this moment, the insect has already pounced on Qianye!

But it didn't bite down, but quickly crawled down Chiya's body to his shoulder, and stopped there, constantly touching Chiya with its short beard, in a very intimate way.

Carol was amazed and said, "Is it because it drank your blood?"

"Maybe, my bloodline is special, and it also opens up wisdom, so it probably treats me as a relative. ”

"This little guy is good-looking, I don't know if it's powerful. Carol looked at the insect and was a little afraid to reach out and touch it. After all, she is a girl, and she is still a little furious when she sees such a big insect.

The insect seemed to understand Carol's words, let out a short chirp, soared into the air, and rushed towards the corpse of a strange beast like lightning, only to hear a muffled bang, it crashed into one side of the beast's head, and then pierced out from the other side, the whole process, like a large-caliber high-grade Force sniper rifle, fired at the beast's head.

PS: I accidentally locked myself in a small black room, and I crawled out after two shifts.
