Chapter 919: The Gem Pit and the Iron Wall
It is taboo to talk shallow and deep. Even if in the Earth Elemental Universe, the brain circuits of this group of elemental creatures are not the same as those of humans, and someone doesn't want to put on an attitude of pointing the country and asking others to kneel and lick and follow them as soon as they meet. What's more, in the mouth of the iron stone, there is also a term that Lin has to pay attention to: the gem pit.
'Friend, did you mention the gem pit, what kind of place is it?' Can you talk about it? ’
'The gem pit is where only the spirit of the gem can join. ’
Because this kind of knowledge of the common sense level is too ordinary, this group of elemental creatures did not have the consciousness to sort out the content of the briefing in order to report it to others. So in most cases, it is Lin who asks, and Iron and Stone people answer. In this way, all the doubts in someone's mind can be satisfied. Now, of course, Lin continued to ask, "You said that the Gem Spirit could join, like you did before, is that okay?" ’
The Ironstone Man hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, I only had one arm made of gems before, and I didn't even have the qualifications to join the gem pit. You have to replace your whole body with gemstone material to be eligible to join. And after joining, you have to find a way to purify yourself, so that it is possible to go further. ’
What about the others? Is there a gem pit like this? ’
Under the introduction of the Iron and Stone Man, the contours of the power of the Earth and the Lost Land gradually became clear.
Basically, there are three main groups: gemstones, metals, and other types, including sand, earth, mud, and stone. The more homogeneous the type of material that an elemental organism makes up a body, the higher the purity. The higher the purity, the more the unique talent of the genre can be brought into play, and the strength and status that come with it will also increase.
When the large categories of materials are unified, the next step is the purification of material types. It is also a gemstone, and it is also a metal, and of course it is still divided into three, six, nine and so on. The ruby and the emerald are clearly not the same as the other; Iron and copper, while both shiny, are different things. The higher the degree of purity, the more the unique talent will develop into different branches and become sharper.
Speaking of which, it is already obvious who the beings of this world are seeking.
Of course, the vast majority of elemental creatures are still 'variegated' like those in the settlement in front of them. This is because the torso of each different material will reveal the color of that material.
In addition, there is no air in the earth, so there is no oxygen. Since there is no oxygen, of course there will be no oxidation reaction. Moreover, the bodies of elemental creatures are all protected by magic, and the elemental creatures here are also colorful.
And the variegated ones, basically live wherever they were born, and form settlements with the local elemental creatures. They are in pursuit of self-purification, and most of them are mining and finding some low-level elemental creatures with hazy consciousness to open the knife. Because the consciousness of low-grade elemental creatures is relatively weak, it is easy to circumvent or suppress, and then seize the precious materials on their bodies.
After refining oneself to a certain extent, if you want to go further, you can only find elemental creatures with similar strength to you. Because if you look for those low-level elemental creatures, the other party may not have enough 'meat' to strengthen itself.
In addition, if there is a group of people who are at the same level, and they are just looking for small insects and eating some meat that is not enough to stuff their teeth, others are challenging elemental creatures of the same level as themselves, and successfully seize the precious materials on the other party's body. The speed of progress between the two will further widen the gap in each other's strength, and eventually they will become 'meat' in the eyes of others.
And after reaching a certain level, elemental creatures will leave their original place of birth and gather towards a certain place. This location is usually home to elemental creatures of a similar level. In addition to the fact that elemental creatures of similar rank have topics to talk about with each other, they also become the most suitable hunting targets for each other when they get together.
And so on, when you grow to a certain level, you can move on to the next level. If you lose too much in the process, you will return to where you came from. It may even fall out of it. But that's just a return to the bosom of the spirit of Mother Earth, and everything starts from scratch.
It can be said that the growth history of elemental creatures is a history of cannibalism. It is only the settlements formed in the low-level period, mainly so that the weak can work together to plunder outward. But when it reaches a high enough level, in addition to plundering outwardly, there is also competition from within.
And the two ends of this road of growth, one is the gem pit and the other is the iron wall. At the same time, these are the two ultimate forces of the Earth and the Lost Land, representing the extremes of magic and physics respectively.
It stands to reason that because the two major forces have no fundamentals in common with each other, they have not devoured each other and strengthened their own needs, so naturally there will be no disputes, or even large-scale wars. After all, no matter how deep the gem man dug, it was impossible to snatch the materials he could use from the metal man.
Therefore, in someone's imagination, the two major forces should just be pouring and devouring each other internally, just like raising the Gu King's Gu pot in the end.
But in fact, there is no peace between the two powers. What exactly they are fighting for is something that elemental creatures at the level of the Ironstone Man don't understand. He only knew that the war between the two major forces had long been dominated by the people of the gem pit, and the people of the iron wall were struggling to parry and barely survive.
As for the reason, of course, it's because of magic. The gem people in the gem pit will have a magical effect with every move. Attached to the attack, it is even more invincible.
But the man with the iron wall only pays attention to the sharpness of the weapon and the sturdiness of the armor. They may not be completely indifferent to magic, but if they want to fight for talent, almost all of the Iron Wall people have been brutally abused by the Gem People.
However, it is strange to some people that such an environment does not breed extreme personalities. It can even be said that the performance of these elemental creatures is a little too indifferent in Lin's eyes. This is because they don't have the same passion as humans, or because earth elemental creatures are more calm and unknowing.
You must know that when someone first arrives, they don't realize that the elemental creature in front of them is living in such a cruel environment. There is only competition at every stage of this, and the loser is not just regressing, but more likely to lose everything. If human beings were in the same environment, they would not rely on the life of dogs and horses to indulge their desires to relieve stress. But there is no such behavior here.
For them, no matter how much they struggle, it is only part of life. Whatever form of death, it is only a return to the collective consciousness of the spirit of Mother Earth. All of this was a common thing for earth-elemental creatures. Only a certain crossing member who lived in an era of too peace would feel 'cruel' to such a way of living.
