Survivors among the base personnel? Zhao Qing's heart moved, and with a finger of his hand, an invisible qi went upward, and the edge of the body vibrated at high speed, and soon covered a spherical field with a diameter of two meters, reflecting the faint ink hidden in the air.

Then, as if the intense color superimposed on the edges was diluted and diluted by water, it returned to its original state, and the inky black immediately spread inward to the entire sphere, and the colors reappeared, revealing a figure leaping down in the center.

Reflections? It seems that the principle is quite different from ordinary light refraction stealth? It's more like a low-level spatial enchantment, no wonder it can be advanced to the "King Kong Realm".

As the man appeared and landed, the ravens guarding the door of the collection room immediately chirped sharply, turned around and flew up, holding a pocket pistol in each claw, aiming at the other party, lighting up the pale golden pupils, which provoked the lander to immediately raise his hands.

"You're Bright Sparkle?" The raven guard tilted his head slightly, recognizing his identity, and switched to another chirp, stopping the nearby crows who were about to come to their aid.

Seeing that "Liang Jingjing" was the nickname that the ravens had given this person before, Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, and he deliberately looked at the other party's white coat outfit, and then noticed some doubts in the details.

Just as the black of the crow is actually mixed with the metallic light of blue and purple, the white coat on this person is not ordinary white, but a combination of white silk with different transparency and brightness, as well as a shiny silver smelting thread, which is very shiny.

If you have the same four-color vision as a bird, you will find that there are many exquisite patterns painted on it, all of which are epic and grand ancient scenes, and from a specific point of view, they can even present a 3D dynamic feeling.

Unfortunately, with some regret, this valuable robe, which was already considered a work of art, had accidentally broken two large holes in the back, and the tear marks ruined its integrity, and with her eyesight, it was easy to see that it had been torn from the inside out.

Got dragon wings, right? Looking up to observe the twenty claw marks on the ceiling, and from the state of the other party after landing on the ground, it was seen that his body function was rising rapidly, Zhao Qing judged the identity of "this person" on the spot: a dragon in the form of a human body, but his combat power was average, so he hid.

In addition, the dragons' love of collecting precious metals and gems, and their obsession with art, also corroborate this - this fetish comes from the fact that dragons are a race that developed the art of alchemy, and alchemy is the ultimate in craftsmanship.

As Chen Zheng said before, the Chen family and the pure-blooded dragon clan communicate and cooperate with each other, and there are actually dragon researchers in this secret base, who seem to have known the ravens for a long time, not the intruder.

Perhaps because the Chen family hid the identity of the dragon and disguised it as an ordinary half-breed to avoid pressure from others, the invaders, although efficient and powerful, were still negligent and failed to kill the cautious dragon.

Probably only four generations? If you are a high-level dragon, there is no need to be afraid of a group of cerberus, and it is not impossible for the five generations to be born. Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, saying that he finally had a living dragon clan that could communicate.

In general, the Scythe can restrain higher sequences of Darkshine, as the Flying Wind Demon is able to continuously collect distant sound fragments for the releaser, and the effect is only an invisible Darkcaster, and cannot hide the sound of its own heartbeat and breathing.

However, when it evolved into a Vampire Scythe that enhanced its lethality, its ability to collect sounds was greatly reduced, and the old man's lack of control over it made him unaware of the existence of the Hiding Dragons.

In fact, any dragon has the basic skill of reducing their breathing and blood flow to the limit, and only needs to maintain life, that is, "Yan Lingdong", which is almost equivalent to the effect of hibernation, but it can be lifted at any time to return to normal.

……

"This kind of temperature is not something that can be achieved by ordinary coal seam burning." The dragon, nicknamed Bright Crystal, slowly lowered his hands, glanced at Zhao Qing who exposed him, turned to the sea of fire in the projection screen, and said solemnly: "The fire element array has been activated. ”

Hearing this, the raven guard, who was about to peck the dragon's ass to play, quickly stopped his movements, and the crow king Kronos, who was operating the computer program, also rattled twice and turned his head.

"The incandescent luminous state means that the temperature is above 1500 °C, which is indeed not achievable under natural circumstances, and generally requires pure oxygen." "I'm doing a spectral analysis to check the radiation distribution in several combustion areas. ”

"I don't know much about the information of the alchemy circle. You should have a solid reason for judging that the fire elemental circle was activated outside - now that we are passengers in the same boat, we must help each other. ”

It used its beak and claws together, snapping and tapping on the keyboard, and soon debugged a 3D model of a coal seam burning, marking a series of test data: "It is generally believed that the alchemy circle is characterized by complex geometric patterns and various mysterious alchemy symbols. “

"Based on information such as high-energy areas, elemental enrichment zones, and stratigraphic structure distribution, I have now marked most of the runic lines that are suspected to be alchemical circuits, and you, as an alchemist, should be able to identify the general outline of the target circle, and then deduce the type and effect of the circle."

"Please stay on layer 666." Just glanced at the projection screen, and the dragon immediately recognized the main point: "Pay attention to the chromatographic distribution of sulfur gas, A514, B227, C832...... It forms a typical pentagram-shaped circle, which is obviously the basis of the main body of the circle. ”

"Whether it is Eastern alchemy or Western alchemy, sulfur and mercury are one of the two most critical materials, symbolizing the sun and the moon, masculine and feminine, and are regarded as important mediums that can transform and refine other substances.

"Therefore, here, the sulfur in the coal mine, which is quite abundant, is the main driving force of this fire element array, and judging from the shape and arrangement of the runes, this circle seems to gather the fire elements in the range and push them to the designated position."

The dragon frowned, and gradually came to a conclusion: "It seems that it should be a compound 'Fire Expulsion' array, which is constantly increasing the activity of the fire element, making the burning more intense, and releasing the heat generated towards the direction where the underground base is located......"

"Look at the waveform on this, is it the elemental turbulence generated by the circle?" Quickly comprehending the other party's words, the Raven King continued to analyze: "According to the current trend, the shock wave of high temperature and heat will probably reach the first peak in seventeen minutes......

Listening to the discussion of a dragon and a crow, Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel that his understanding of alchemy was still less, there were no professional classics, and he didn't understand the control of precision instruments.

However, this also means that she can get a certain level of improvement in the process and integrate into the new Tao and Principles.

Glancing at the various ancient books and documents in the collection room, Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, and many heavy albums flew down, opening them in front of her, only to see that there were a large number of photocopied images of alchemy literature such as bamboo slips, silk books, and parchment scrolls, with various annotations written on the side.

Zhao Qing has long been familiar with ancient characters such as big seals and small seals, oracle bone inscriptions, and even knows the usage of them better than the scholars who made notes.

After all, it is a scholar with the same cultural background, and it is difficult to get out of the barriers of the changes of the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties.

As for the contents of the parchment scrolls, they are all handwritten in Old English, Old Hebrew or Old Latin, with rough illustrations, like ancient tarot card patterns, with upside-down hanging men, burning towers, and skeletal faces of the Emperor, but it is somewhat difficult to understand.

Green Lion, Red Lion, Staff of Hermes, Holy Oak, Ouroboros Dragon, Kabbalah, Sun Swallower, Gray Wolf......

For the words commonly used by these secret parties and other mixed-race organizations, Zhao Qing just used the information on the Internet to learn by himself before coming, limited to the conditions, and the general interpretation should not be a big problem, but when it comes to key details, there may be deviations.

……

In order to further investigate the condition of the "Fire Expulsion" circle, the dragons and the Raven King decided to venture to observe from a closer distance, passing through the hypnotic matrix, high-voltage power grid, ghost labyrinth and other barriers that were breached by the crows, and arrived only a few dozen meters away from the bottom of the mine.

It was at this location that through the probe hole in the alloy gate, it was clear that a purple crystal grid shining like a starry sky, although it was almost drowned in roaring flames, as long as you looked at it, you would feel a spiritual mystical attraction.

Zhao Qing carried several testing instruments and followed behind the dragon and crow, and from time to time discussed the crisis of the alchemy circle outside—theoretically, if this circle could completely ignite the coal seam with millions of tons of reserves, it would be equivalent to a super-incendiary bomb with millions of tons of equivalent.

In terms of energy, it is almost equivalent to a 7.5 magnitude earthquake, or hundreds of Hiroshima atomic bombs.

Such an astonishing disaster, even for her, is difficult to resolve, and even can only protect herself, she can't shelter a few people, she must come up with a solution as much as possible, at least learn more information.

On the side of the crowd, dozens of ravens in fireproof suits and gas masks were guarding the sides of the corridor, breathing hard to dissipate the excess heat of the place, and their eyes were full of worry when they saw someone coming.

Chu Zihang, who followed him, pulled a cart full of ice cubes in his hand, put the ice cubes into a bag, and distributed them to each raven guard, and got unanimous praise from them, saying that he would give him some shiny gifts when he returned.

……

On the way, Zhao Qing also learned that this dragon researcher is indeed an unlucky fourth-generation species, and it is not an "old dragon" left over from ancient times, on the contrary, it belongs to the new generation of the dragon family, which has been bred by two or three generations in recent years, and has long been integrated into human society.

"Chen Group Distinguished Researcher, Joseph Needham."

The dragon showed her friendliness, presented her with an autographed postcard of a famous football star, pointed to himself and said: "I am a real Chinese dragon, just like Joseph Needham, although I am a dragon, I have a human heart, so I took this name." ”

According to Joseph Needham, about a thousand years ago, the Chinese half-blood families and many pure-blooded dragons living in the East formally signed the "Four Seas Agreement" of peaceful coexistence and mutual non-aggression, and allowed the dragons to live normally in the four Nibelungens on the condition that the two sides would send favorable supplies to each other for a long time.

As long as the dragons and their descendants who signed the contract do not violate the agreement, do not sneak out to mutilate humans, and restrain their own Deadpools, then the major families will not interfere, and will also sell some alchemy raw materials and bones of uncontracted dragons from time to time to purchase alchemy props produced by dragons.

Although there were some radical dragons involved in several dynastic changes, trying to subvert the agreement and secretly control the human dynasty, most of them were quickly suppressed by the conservative dragons and major families, however, some dragons still defected and fled.

In order to prevent the human side from being too strong and breaking the balance in this regard, the behavior of the half-race family to manipulate the government has also become taboo, mainly living in the dark world, until the advent of the new era, the social productivity has advanced by leaps and bounds, and new changes have appeared.

At present, the dragon settlement where Joseph Needham was born is the "East China Sea Dragon Palace", one of the "four seas", in which there are at least seven or eight high-level dragons of the third generation level, as well as the real ancient dragon sleeping, and the four generations and five generations of the common class, there are hundreds.

It may sound like a small number, but considering that ordinary dragons are at least equivalent to A-level elites with multiple words and various means, they can be regarded as a rather powerful force.

In particular, the ancient dragons sleeping in the Nibelungen mostly maintained the state of giant dragon bodies, which was close to the peak existence of the first generation of dragon kings, and could easily destroy ordinary cities.

Joseph Needham said that the dragon clan has long been an abandoned race, and the race abandoned by fate, even the resurrected dragon king has been repeatedly suppressed by the half-bloods, so what use can these little soldiers and young soldiers come in? The guys who intend to revive the dragon civilization are all carried away by ambition.

To this day, human science is still inferior to the alchemy of the dragon race, and it is incomparable in terms of single survival ability and combat effectiveness, but human beings have a strong ability to reproduce and learn, these two factors are very important for the development of civilization, but they are the shortcomings of the dragon race.

In the new era of rapid development, Joseph Needham relied on the high-end alchemy he learned from his parents, and wanted to cooperate with the major mixed-race families, taking the opportunity to learn human science and technology, ideology and culture, and not be left behind too much.

As a result, he met an unreasonable Chen family and asked him to sign a confidentiality agreement, and he was not allowed to contact the outside world for more than ten years, and stayed in this gloomy underground base for a long time, studying the "Raven Project", and could only watch ball games and the like in it as entertainment, which almost drove him crazy.

"'Vulcan's Net', in Roman mythology, the copper net used by the craftsman god Vulcan to catch his cheating wife Venus and the god of war Mars in bed, later became a term in alchemy, also known as 'Regulus Fourteen Antimony' and 'Star Stone'."

Pointing to the purple crystal net outside the door, Joseph Needham introduced: "Many alchemists interpret this differently. However, according to 'Chen Zheng', the antimony net outside comes from the technology pioneered by Isaac Newton, so it is easier to analyze. ”

It is said that it was this mysterious alchemical product that inspired Newton's law of universal gravitation. At present, it seems that there is indeed a certain amount of truth, because the 'Vulcan net' outside has a special attraction to light and the human spirit. ”

"So what is the effect of this net?" Kronus asked, "It is said that Newton once thought that 'this star is not precious enough to contain the Philosopher's Stone, but it hides a wonderful medicine', and it seems that its effect may be to absorb the spirit and soul of living beings?" ”

"It should be almost the same." Joseph Needham narrowed his eyes: "If you combine this arrangement with the entire alchemy circle, you can get a rather terrible conclusion: they together form a 'black magic alchemy array', which wants to purify and disintegrate our souls. ”

"The 'blackening' stage of refining the Philosopher's Stone?" Zhao Qing, who had studied alchemy for a while, was already able to speak: "Use the flames to burn and burn all the life in the underground base, and refine the soul and spirit here into a pure fifth element, as a material for the manufacture of the 'first primordial essence'?" ”

In alchemy, fire is seen as a purifying, transforming, and sublimating force, capable of incinerating the impurities of matter and refining the purest essence.

The "Fire Expulsion" circle uses the power of this fire to expel the negative energy and unclean substances around it, creating a pure environment for the alchemy process.

As far as she knew, in addition to using the spiritual elements in the dragon bone cross to purify and refine the "Philosopher's Stone", which was the only method that the secret party now mastered, in ancient Egypt, the pharaoh had another technique to condense the lives of a thousand people, just to keep his body intact.

Now, the mastermind behind this catastrophe not only wants to destroy the traces of the base, but also prepares to reproduce, or use the improved technology, to harvest enough raw materials to refine dozens of grams of Sage Stone at one time.

It is conceivable that in China, which is a big country, the other party dares to launch such an amazing "sacrifice of life", and in Africa and South America, where there is no supervision, who knows how many people have quietly disappeared and turned into part of the Philosopher's Stone?

Unlike Odin's almost Deadpool-like ravens, the ravens here are quite lively and cute, and their attitude towards Zhao Qing is quite good, considering that the half-breeds and dragons can still keep peace, but the relationship with Deadpool is absolutely hostile, the crows are obviously their friends.

They are numerous, they share the same hatred, they are organized and orderly, and when the time comes, they can be a great help to their side, and as long as there is even one possibility, they should not be allowed to fall prey to the enemy's conspiracy.

As for Joseph Needham, the fourth-generation dragon clan, Zhao Qing didn't have any special impressions, after all, she was not a human in this world, and the newborn dragons couldn't be tainted with the hatred of the past, so naturally there was no need to kill them all like the secret party.

Speaking of which, in tens of thousands of years, most of the humans who died at the hands of the dragons were less than one-tenth of the human cannibalism, and the period when the dragons ruled in ancient times did not see any difference from the slave society or the feudal society, and maybe the tax and forced labor were even lighter.

Compared with the colonization and bloody oppression of Asia, Africa and Latin America dominated by European hybrids in the past, it is likely to be just a drop in the bucket - after all, there are also civilians among the dragons, and their productivity is much stronger than that of primitive people, so it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to oppress dragons internally.

Now, the evil conspirators, the dark-sided monarchs who hide deeply, are the real enemies.

……

"With the blessing of a large 'Vulcan Net', the lifeforms with insufficient soul strength have no way to contact the area of the alchemy circle, otherwise they will be mentally traumatized and die quickly. Coupled with the high-temperature flames that have risen to more than 1700 °C, the obstruction of heavy coal seams breaks into it, which is almost no different from moths fighting fires. ”

"However, the power of the 'Philosopher's Stone Refining Array' is far beyond the protection of this base can resist, and we must find a way to interfere with and destroy its alchemy circuit before we can have a glimmer of life...... I have three options here, and it's best to make a decision before the first trough of energy, and then do it as soon as possible. ”

Looking at Zhao Qing, the strongest on the field, Joseph Needham touched his chin, and with the help of the Raven King Kronos, he connected to the full communication channel, and introduced:

"The first option is to try to cultivate and learn an ancient bloodline amplification technique, 'tuning', and try to keep the spirit of each raven on the side of the dragon class basically similar, or multiplier, so as to achieve spiritual resonance."

"In this case, the realm born from the same line of words and spirits can achieve a certain level of mutual integration, the domain barrier is strengthened and thickened, the power is increased, and hundreds of ravens work together to do it, maybe there is a possibility of opposing the outside alchemy circle realm."

"This branch of the Chen family is basically the blood of the wind and spirit systems, and the ravens they have cultivated are no exception, and the 'nobles' of the wind system account for most of them." Speaking of which, Joseph Needham explained to Zhao Qing and Kronos individually:

"Heavenly Evolution is essentially the increase of the wind system on spirituality and perception, and the combination of the spiritual system, and it is also the more common formation center of the ancient half-bloods when they 'speak and spirit tune and attack', and the power of the entire field can be used to precisely adjust the power, even if there is an individual who fails to reach the standard frequency, it can also be guided to reduce the impact."

"This technique called 'tuning' is just a secret in the major families, right?" Kronos's dark golden pupils lit up, and there seemed to be countless patterns spinning inside: "You tell me, how much time does it take for most half-bloods to successfully cultivate this technique?" ”

"If it is an A-level that has been well trained, it is estimated that it will take more than half a month." Joseph Needham whispered, "But life is good at working miracles when it is impossible!" If the crows didn't know the difficulty of this technique, maybe they could really have some successful cultivation. ”

"You're 'idealistic'!" Kronos accused: "There are too many crows who have not learned, and if I use the Spirit Guidance Realm beyond the limit, my head will definitely explode...... What's your second strategy? ”

"Forcibly elevate the bloodline with drugs...... It can be combined with the first plan. Joseph Needham said, "I hid a bottle of Jindan liquid, or ancient dragon serum, under a floor tile in the collection room, which can make the bloodline evolve and upgrade after taking it. ”

"Because the handling is not thorough enough, without the assistance of the relevant alchemy matrix, if I drink it, I should be able to advance to the incomplete three generations level, but if there is no protective spirit like the Dustless Land and the Vajra Realm, it is still not enough to get out of trouble."

"My personal opinion is to let all the ravens drink a few drops each before going through the first plan. Or," he turned his head to look at Zhao Qing on the side, "Let you drink it all, the effect should be better than that of an ordinary dragon like me." ”

After all, with the record of one person breaking through another channel, in Joseph Needham's opinion, although he didn't know how Zhao Qing did it, as long as her strength improved again, maybe there was really hope of breaking the alchemy array.

"Don't worry too much about dragon blood erosion 'Deadpool'."

He cautiously stated one of the results of his research in recent years: "In the 'post-dragon era' dominated by half-breeds after the decline of dragon civilization, the shroud once had an extremely important meaning - to allow the soul of the deceased to remain clean and sacred after entering the 'underworld', and will not be polluted and degenerate, and finally return to the present world and come back to life. ”

"Is this an attempt by an ancient half-breed to fight against, or even reverse Deadpool? Those shrouds with charms in the collection room to help stabilize the bloodline? Zhao Qing thought in his heart: Odin's stand-in suit includes the shroud, which should be the ultimate embodiment of this means?

"Don't rush to make a decision." "There was a final option," Needham said, "and that was to turn to Odin's power in the hope that he would come to his aid, who was several kilometers away. Although the outcome is unpredictable, the probability of success should be the highest. ”

"You must know that in this secret base, there is an alchemy mask that Odin traded to the Chen family and contains the power of the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse', if its power and power can be fully released, it may be able to transform into an ancient dragon-level existence in a short period of time."

"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?" Zhao Qing asked, "What is in the Book of Revelation in the Bible?" The prologue to the Final Judgment? ”

Joseph Needham nodded slightly, and said, "When I saw the Lamb unveiling the first of the seven seals, I heard a voice like thunder from one of the four living creatures, saying, 'Come! Then I looked, and behold, there was a white horse, and he was on it, with a bow, and a crown was given to him. And he came out, and when he was victorious, he was victorious......"

"Last year, Solomon's Temple had a conflict with the Zhou family and the Bai family on Yangcheng Lake, and it is said that the power of the 'War Knights' in the 'Four Horsemen of Doom' was used." He added: "It's incredible that a super A-level hybrid breed, relying on the blessing of this strange force, actually took a hard shot and the nine babies of the spirit did not die." ”

"Why does Odin have the mask of the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'?" At the moment of emergency, Zhao Qing didn't ask much, but he was still quite puzzled: "Could it be that he is the God of the Ji~ Sect of Governors, Jehovah?" Will the final judgment of humanity be held in the future? ”

"It is generally believed that in the mythology of the Church of the Priests, the Black King Nidhogg corresponds to the God Jehovah."

Joseph Needham pondered, "More than 10,000 years ago, the White King launched the largest rebellion in the history of the Dragon Clan, and one-third of the Dragon Clan became rebels, and finally the Black King destroyed the White King with supreme might, nailing her to the Optimus Pillar and throwing her into the depths of the roaring sea of ice. ”

"And the book of Revelation says that the fallen angel Lucifer rebelled from heaven and turned into a red dragon and fell from heaven with a third of the stars, and those third of the stars were one-third of the angelic legions, and it took them seven days and seven nights to cross the boundary between heaven and earth and collide with the earth."

At least at this point in time, the black king symbolizes Jehovah, and the white king corresponds to Lucifer or Satan. The four Seraphs, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel, symbolize the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth respectively, corresponding to the four monarchs. ”

"But further on, that doesn't necessarily match...... After all, the black king who is the 'God' has now been killed, and the 'King of the Gods' Odin has taken over the throne of God and rewritten the prophecy and history, which is normal. ”

In his words, he had no reverence for the kings of the dragon clan, and it seemed that he really had a "human heart".

"Odin is suspected to be in a sealed state, and it takes the 'Lamb' to break the seven seals to get out of the predicament, and to descend divine power and judgment, which sounds quite reasonable." Zhao Qing analyzed: "Of course, it is not ruled out that Odin is actually a genus of 'Satan', and he is just imitating the possibility of pretending to be 'God'. ”

At present, Nidhogg's desperate revenge is more like a dragon single-handedly taking on the whole world, on the contrary, Odin seems to have been preparing for this for thousands of years, with a large number of soldiers, and a reserve of doomsday knights, heroic spirits, and angels, which seems to be more in line.

However, since the two successive "gods" were not in good shape, their prior arrangements may also be destroyed by later generations.

Then again, who is the "Lamb" in the Book of Revelation who can break the seal? Lu Mingfei? Chen Motong? Caesar? Chu Zihang? Abbas? Angers? Fingal?
