A worm with a body length of nearly four meters, a snake man in bronze armor, a wing that has degenerated into a bone plate, and a fierce bird in his eyes, a giant bat with wings. A large crab with a chitinous exoskeleton and three legs.

Five squads formed a brigade with a total of more than 300 members. They all have different forms, but they speak a common language, as if they have been working together intimately since a long time ago.

Among these teams, the race that most resembles humans is the snake people in the third team.

There was a snake man who even held a cylindrical stick in his hand, and he spat snake letter in his mouth, and the lower half of his body retained the appearance of a snake, and the upper half of his body was close to a human body, covered with a layer of solid bronze armor. The snake man, a member of the snake man's team, spat out the letter and smelled the smell of other creatures in the air.

A pterosaur hovered overhead, unaware of the strength of the team beneath its feet, and kept looking down, as if looking for an easy prey. The pterodactyl's gaze immediately locked on the snake man who was staring at him, and it folded its wings and immediately swooped down, stretching out its claws to grab the snake man's shoulders and drag him into the sky.

The snake man's face immediately became tyrannical, and he raised the stick in his hand, and at the same time pressed the switch with his right hand, and a large amount of fire spewed out from the opening in the middle of the stick, and these fires pushed a round steel ball towards the pterodactyl. The pterosaur screamed, and a hole was suddenly pierced in his chest, which immediately smashed to the ground.

It landed next to the nearest intelligent creature of worms, which writhed its body and immediately wrangled the wounded pterosaur. Under its force, the bones of the pterosaur made a shattering sound. Its eyes were filled with fear, and it had no idea how the snake man had attacked it.

The pain of the crushing of the internal organs made the pterosaur cry out in pain, but each time it screamed, the worm strangled it tighter, and when the last breath of air in the pterosaur's lungs was squeezed out, it also ushered in the end of death. In the end, the pterosaur did not understand until he died, why he, which had always been the king of the air, would die under the combined attack of snakes and worms that were much thinner than it.

However, in the seemingly peaceful team, there is a trace of relationship rift that is difficult to see.

As soon as the pterosaur died, the five squads began to discuss the ownership of the pterosaur. When it comes to the distribution of loot, their relationship becomes delicate.

The worm that strangled the pterosaur shouted, "I killed it!

"You brainless worm, do you think you'd still be able to touch it without my shot?" the snake man sneered and said angrily. His team members also surrounded him, confronting dozens of worms on the opposite side.

One by one, they quarreled so much that even the other two races, who were not involved in killing the pterodactyls, wanted a piece of the pie.

The three-legged crab stuck one of its middle feet on the ground, and after fixing its huge and bulky body, it spat bubbles and said, "Haha, everyone still has to be harmonious, I think, give me this pterodactyl, and you won't have to quarrel about it." ”

The worm and snake man immediately set their eyes on the crab and said, "Shut up!"

When the crab heard this, its body suddenly trembled, and the bubbles it spit out suddenly increased, and its flexible five claws continued to open and close: "You!"

On the contrary, the group of birds that looked very cruel did not make any move, they just stood by and watched the quarrel of the four teams with cold eyes. This pterosaur didn't have any natural breath in its body, and it was not worth arguing with the rest of the team for it.

The giant bat on the side couldn't sit still, his eyes were slightly red, and he roared: "It's just an ordinary pterosaur corpse, you have to fight to the death, and when the ruins are opened, do you want to act alone like before?"

After speaking, the giant bat said in a low voice, "The last time the ruins were opened, didn't you remember the lesson of that time!"

The last time the giant bat mentioned the ruins were opened was three thousand years ago.

In order to find the opportunity to advance to the third-level civilization, they already belong to the second-level civilization, and they also formed an adventure group as they do today. However, when they finally entered the ruins, they were almost wiped out due to their intrigues and selfishness, and only a few seriously injured members escaped.

But it was these seriously injured members who also brought a wealth of knowledge and skills. For example, the inferior musket in the snake man's hand and the method of making gunpowder that shoots steel bullets are all techniques obtained from the ruins. Although the power of muskets may not be as strong as the snake people's hand-to-hand combat strength, the snake people regarded them as if they were treasures, vigorously developed muskets and gunpowder, and soon achieved one for everyone.

"This ruin can only hold a maximum of three hundred members, and if we can't work together, we won't even be able to enter the depths of the ruins!"

The last exploration was a bloody lesson, and although thousands of years have passed, and what happened in the ruins is no longer known, the intelligent beings present are well aware of the need to reach the depths of the ruins. They must be united.

The giant bat is the initiator and formation of this exploration team, and it does its best to maintain the stability of the team, but the scene in front of it still makes it feel cold.

Hearing the bat's words, the three captains glanced at each other and closed their mouths one after another. Although the dispute has subsided on the surface, the seeds of gloom have begun to be planted throughout the team.

While they were arguing on the north side of the Blood Moon Lake, Lin Ye had successfully returned to the Phoenix Civilization. Compared with more than ten days ago, the stone tower area has become completely new, and even Lin Ye didn't recognize it for a while. Bai Mao had been waiting in the stone tower area early, and it saw Lin Ye for the first time, chirped happily, and then threw itself into Lin Ye's arms.

The white-haired eyes added a hint of wisdom to it compared to before, and while excitedly telling Lin Ye how he had managed the Phoenix Civilization these days, he also mentioned some strange things he had encountered recently.

Lin Ye noticed that the white feather and other flowers and birds had some red spots on their bodies. Bai Mao immediately happily displayed his red feathers, and at the same time waved his wings, and at once fanned out some flames, although these flames were extinguished after only a few seconds, Lin Ye could still see that the flowers and birds had gained the ability to release flames.

"After advanced civilization, the flowers and birds will inherit some of the host's abilities, which is a benefit given to them by the phoenix totem. The abilities they inherit are very weak at first, but they will gradually grow over time, until at the end of the day, the strength of the abilities they gain is not much worse than the strength of the host itself. ”

The level of the flame feather possessed by the flowers and birds is only E+ level, which can barely reach the level of inducing flames, but it is far from enough to use it against enemies. Strength takes time. Now left for the Phoenix Civilization, the most important thing is enough time to develop to reach the height it deserves.

For the Phoenix civilization, the bottleneck of civilization development is far from being reached. When the number of believers in the Phoenix Civilization exceeds 10,000, this is the current stage of maturity of the Phoenix Civilization. If the foundation is not firmly laid, the Phoenix Civilization is like a castle in the sky, which is very easy to topple.

"According to you, our Phoenix Civilization is a first-level civilization, and the intelligence of the overall members has increased for the most part, and at the same time, the scope of the sanctuary area has been expanded, and it is able to accommodate a larger number of believers. So what will happen to the second-level civilization?"

"On average, five first-level civilizations will give birth to a second-level civilization, and five second-level civilizations will give birth to a third-level civilization. And the gap between civilizations and civilizations lies in whether the members of civilizations have broken through the intellectual evolution belt. Once they have breached the zone of intelligent evolution, they can be allowed to do things that they cannot do. ”

Lin Ye touched his head and said, "What are the things?"

The system was silent for a while, and then seemed to have found a way to explain it to Lin Ye, and replied, "Does the host know how to make black powder?"

Lin Ye nodded and said, "I know a little, but if I am asked to do it, I still can't do it." "Lin Ye has already forgotten about the knowledge of human beings, if he tries his best, after a few months of hard thinking, he may be able to build a not mature bird power generator, but he can't make supporting electrical equipment at all, at most he can build an electric bulb. And what the light bulb can do, Lin Ye can easily do it if he casually makes a fire.

However, it is certainly much more convenient and practical to make a single-shot musket than to make a generator. Once the followers of the Phoenix Civilization have all used muskets, they will no longer be at the mercy of slaughter.

The system said, "I know what black powder is supposed to do. ”

"Teach me quickly!" Lin Ye immediately became excited and said.

Under the guidance of the system, Lin Ye quickly found a few pieces of saltpeter, and at the same time found some other materials to make a rough black powder. Lin Ye plucked a fiery red feather, and then put it on the black powder, which immediately burned rapidly, and after a while, it burned clean.

"White Hair!" Lin Ye made some more black powder, and then called White Hair and asked it to light the flames. The white hair crooked, although it didn't know why Lin Ye wanted it to do this, but it still did it. However, the sparks sprinkled by the white fur did not burn directly after touching the gunpowder. The white fur was a little unrelenting, it brought a bright tree oil torch in its mouth, and put the lit end on the black powder, and the fierce flames even covered the black powder, but the latter still did not react at all.
