"A bit like a pudding?"

Stopping the bleeding from the wound on his wrist, Ian held up the golden blood jelly with interest, feeling the texture of a Q-bomb that was close to a decompression ball: "No, it's much stronger than pudding, and it's a high-toughness material composed of most earth-derived materials."

Shifting his gaze, Ian looked at the amber crystal core on the other side, the amber crystal, which was the essence of the swamp crocodile essence, and it was also a 'solid structure' that could not be completely transformed by the blood refining method

At the same time, it is also the raw material needed for the self-repair of the 'ancient dragon core'.

Of course, it can't be completely repaired, but at least part of the structure can be repaired" And the golden blood jelly, which contains most of the essence of the potion material of the swamp crocodile, is a mass of alchemy matrix that has been processed, although it cannot be used as a 'main material' because the amber crystal is not integrated into it, but as a side material, it has been refined and it is very good Ian can distinguish the weight, and the repair of the ancient dragon's heart core is far more important than the main material of a second energy level, not to mention,

If he really wanted to advance to the Rock Forge Knight, he would definitely have to finish casting the 'Fourth Sublimation Organ' of the Sand Armor Apprentice.

It just so happens that 'Golden Blood Jelly', as the main essentia structure of the swamp crocodile's hardened body and controlling the sediment shield, seems to be able to be used as the fourth organ of the sand armor apprentice's semi-potion material.

Opening his mouth, Ian directly swallowed the amber crystal nucleus and golden blood jelly into the stomach, storing it inside the 'second stomach' feels a bit like swallowing a piece of iron, but in general, it is not uncomfortable that the ancient dragon heart core will slowly absorb the amber crystal nucleus structure in the second stomach and repair itself, without Ian bothering and the golden blood freeze can be stored for a long time without Ian urging the muscle stomach...... In other words, as a sublimator of the same attribute, Ian's body was originally the best fresh-keeping cabinet for preserving the ten-attribute essentia materials.

In addition, the large amount of earth attribute essentia that was absorbed just now and refined through the method of blood refining......

After closing his eyes and digesting them for a while, when he opened them again, Ian was already in good spirits.

"I'll need some water and salt later, but at least for a day, I don't need to eat anything more and I'm still at full strength."

Absorbing the key value of the Swamp Crocodile's Brain Spinal Crystal Nucleus, Ian has disposed of one of the most valuable trophies on his body and converted it into his own strength.

He raised his sword and stood up.

Then, urge the foresight and the silver chip to find the 'breath of life'.

In fact, there is no breath of life, just a variety of subtle characteristics of life activities judged by essentia reactions and the flow of the surrounding air by silver chips.

Soon, Ian noticed a little: "There is a slight sound fluctuation on the right, it may be a stream of water, or it may be an echo from someone communicating in the distance. ”

"Take a closer look."

Concealing his breath, Ian silently walked in the direction from which the sound came from.

The corridor is long and secluded, and there are many forks and branches. Ian followed the guidance of the silver chip, straight towards the place where the sound originated, and was not misled.

After some time, he spotted a group of figures in the distance.

"Oh?"

Adjusting the focus of his eyes slightly, Ian stared intently.

Dozens of people dressed in various colors, who looked like ordinary seamen and merchants, were exploring the wide cavern path in a very orderly manner.

A few people took the lead, a few supervised the sides, a few people paid attention to the rear, and a group of armored trainees in the middle armed with alchemy firearms and shields protected several researchers and sublimators in the middle of the team, and the fire was always aimed at several areas with great risk.

Although they were well-trained at first glance, and even better equipped than the guards in Port Harrison, they were dressed as ordinary merchants and fishermen.

If they hadn't taken out their weapons, put on their armor, and picked up shields and muskets, they would have been like ordinary people.

Even, ordinary people will only see them as armed merchants from the side of the Whale Song Cliff, although they are a little suspicious,

But it's not that it can't be explained.

However, Ian saw through their identities at a glance from the pattern of the firearms in the other party's hands.

"The people of the Flamelands?"

A huge doubt rose in his heart, Ian frowned, and his expression was serious: "Why are they here?"

Even the exploration team and rescue team organized by Viscount Grant didn't come in, why did they already start exploring? ”

Could it be ...... Their team had been hiding in the surrounding seas, watching Patrick and Viscount Grant fight against the natives, and then they were caught up in the sudden opening of the ruins door?

But it's not like that. The other party is so well equipped, but the number of people is not large, if it is to assist the natives to steal Harrison Port, then the number will be doubled, and if it is to infiltrate to assist the natives in training, this number is somewhat redundant

, the equipment is also wrong, it seems too professional.

"It seems...... It seems that the existence of the ruins was known from the beginning. ”

If the Great Shaman had told them that they had come for an indigenous holy site, it would have been explained. ”

With great doubt, Ian thought for a moment and opened the Silent Ring.

Although the inscription structure of the Silent Ring is a little unstable now, I am afraid that it will not be used a few times, but this is the moment when it needs to be useful.

Completely removing all of his voices, Ian quietly followed the team.

Also, use the silver chip to eavesdrop on conversations in the opposing team.

In the eyes of the captain of the special operations team on the southeast front of the Flying Flame Land, this deep underground cave was a little strangely silent.

As a former elite scout accustomed to lurking in the dark and woods, he didn't like the eerie silence,

This reminded the captain of the bloody killing field he had experienced when he was serving in the Second Royal Legion of Abbasalom, exterminating the group of Shadow Leaf Demon Aliens.

The aliens, which can disguise themselves as trees, can pluck the head of a seasoned sergeant with a flick of the blade as the soldier passes by, sending blood to pour blood between the trees and bushes.

In order to wipe out the lair of the alien monsters, the Second Royal Legion and several legions of comrades lost nearly half of their men, not to mention the servant army.

Since then, soldiers throughout the Abasaros have been discolored by the talk of the woods, and some of the retired veterans have even suffered from mental illness, and can no longer tolerate the branches and leaves of the trees that shake in the wind, and even occasionally go berserk, raising their knives and slashing at the children who are playing beside the trees.

The captain survived that war and did not fall ill.

But he still didn't like the strange silence, for the deadliest danger lurked in the shadows, like a blade hidden in the leaves, ready to pluck off his head.

Just like now, the illusion of being spied on all the time has always stimulated his nerves.
