Chapter Fifty-Nine: Earth Dragon Country
At the side of the operating table, the puppeteer-made man ripped off the blood-stained gloves on his hands, revealing a pair of hands that were clearly carved from wood.
Countless thin black threads poured out from the tips of the ten fingers, wrapping around the limbs of the girl on the bed, and then the black threads began to slowly melt into the skin, and finally disappeared.
When the black line disappeared completely, the man raised his hands gracefully, and with the dance of his fingers, the girl sat up from the bed abruptly, and stiffly deflected her head little by little, until it was completely deflected 90 degrees, facing the man next to the bed, and then stopped moving.
Opening her small eyes, the girl had a pair of lake-blue moist eyes, and the corners of her light pink lips were hooked, revealing a thrilling smile.
The moist lake-blue eyes reflected the face of the puppeteer, and with the smile on the girl's face, his closed lips also cracked, and the black slit stretched from the corners of his mouth to the sides of the ear, revealing an unfathomable darkness inside the mouth.
"All the birds in the air,"
"Sigh and mourn,"
"When they hear the death knell ring,"
"For poor robins."
The man's jaw began to hit the upper jaw continuously, and the clicking sound gradually turned into a crazy laugh as the upper and lower lip flaps collided.
"Click...... Click...... Click, hahaha......"
"So this is the judgment of the robin"
"But listen:"
"Attention all related parties,"
"This time the proclamation says,"
"Next Bird Trial,"
"The one on trial is a sparrow."
The man's crazy laughter echoed in the room with the girl's beautiful singing voice, and even in the corner of the room, the pile of Jingguan made up of dozens of identical girls' heads was trembling slightly with laughter.
A pair of small girl's eyes opened, and the inside was an endless lake blue.
……………
The Earth Dragon Country, a landlocked country that is blocked on all sides, is not a strong country, and it does not even have any well-known powerhouses and organizations, and the only outstanding foundation is farming.
In this world, anyone who wants to maintain the existence of a national polity must have a skill to prove its value to ensure that it will not be swallowed up and plundered by the surrounding kingdoms.
The Sturt Kingdom has developed science and technology, the Xuanwu Kingdom is strong in martial arts, and the Divine Forging Country is outstanding, while the Earth Dragon Country is unsurpassed in agricultural planting.
It is the granary of the western continent, which occupies more than 40% of the grain production of the entire continent with the power of one country, and sells it to other countries at low prices in large quantities, which ensures the stability and peace of all its citizens.
The above feats were achieved by relying on the topography of his vast fertile plains on the one hand, and by a powerful creature - the Earth Dragon.
This is an earthworm-like but more advanced creature, with the blood of dragons, which is said to have the blood of dragons, and they walk through the soil, loosening the soil and constantly secreting all kinds of nutrients, which make the plants on the surface grow wildly, and the quality will be greatly improved.
The ancestors of the Earth Dragon Kingdom discovered this creature at the beginning of the founding of the country, so they spent a long time on the Earth Dragon to carry out detailed research and cultivation, and finally realized the symbiosis with this creature, for thousands of years, they regarded the Earth Dragon as the country's totem belief to get close to, worship, and bred this originally rare creature to almost every inch of the country's territory.
In return, they became the richest food producer in the whole world, and hunger would never bother their people, no matter how remote they were, as long as the earth dragons could survive.
This situation lasted for nearly a thousand years, until fifty years ago, perhaps it was a long development that allowed the creature of the Earth Dragon to finally evolve to the peak, and a King of the Earth Dragon who broke through the racial restrictions was born.
It has the divine power to drill through mountains and shatter the earth, and its body fluids can also nourish grass, grow thousands of trees, and even break through the limit of the largest creature of the Earth Dragon of only three meters.
The people of the Earth Dragon Kingdom were ecstatic, and they sealed this limit-breaking Earth Dragon as a Protector Divine Beast, and used the best resources to cultivate it, hoping that it could bring about changes in the entire Earth Dragon race.
At that time, they may be able to break the embarrassment of the country with only developed agriculture, and thus become a military power like the Xuanwu State, and raise the status of the country to another level.
In the past fifty years, as the size of the Protector Divine Beast has continued to increase, from the initial few meters to the current tens of meters, the ambition of the people of the Earth Dragon Kingdom has also expanded, and the increasingly powerful power of the Divine Beast has given them sufficient, even close to blind confidence, in recent years, the price of the food they sell to the outside world has begun to increase year by year.
Soon, this behavior began to arouse the vigilance of the Xuanwu Kingdom, as a country of warriors, they have a great demand for high-quality food, and strong physical fitness also needs to consume a large amount of nutrients to maintain, therefore, the Xuanwu Kingdom will import a large amount of grain to the Earth Dragon Kingdom every year, although so far, the Earth Dragon Kingdom has always maintained a minimum price for the bulk grain trade of the Xuanwu Kingdom, but the uncontrolled signs are still inevitable.
And since the signs have appeared, they must be extinguished as soon as possible, especially not long ago, the intelligence organization in the Earth Dragon Country detected a dangerous signal, a biological geneticist from the Kingdom of Stern is suspected of appearing near the capital of the Earth Dragon Country, and the hidden information is intriguing.
As a result, the assassination mission against the Earth Dragon Country's Protector Divine Beast appeared within the Shadow Organization, and was finally taken over by Xu Yue, and at noon today, he arrived in the airspace of the Earth Dragon Kingdom's capital with the Sun Chase Flyship.
In the sea of clouds, Xu Yue stood on the bow of the flying ship, looking down at the large Golden Autumn Plain below, as well as the huge city in the center of the plain, and he played with a black scroll in his hand, which recorded the specific location of the Protector Divine Beast.
Unlike the majestic landform of the Xuanwu Kingdom, which is full of mountains and peaks, the Dilong Kingdom is very open, and about 80% of their land is a plain and hilly terrain suitable for large-scale reclamation and planting, with dense population and vast cities.
And the right side of the Earth Dragon Country is adjacent to the Chaotian Mountains of the Mala Country, the tall mountain range blocks the southeast monsoon blowing from the sea on the left, a large amount of water vapor accumulates here, and rains are formed after condensation at high altitude, which brings extremely rich water resources to the entire Earth Dragon Country.
The time and place are complete, coupled with the existence of a special creature such as the earth dragon, so that the earth dragon country is basically in a state of fertile land, and the grain output can generally reach three crops a year.
At this time, it was also the time of the grain harvest, so when Xu Yue looked down, it was a golden autumn wheat wave, and a large number of farmers like ants were scattered in between.
Xu Yue's vision swept over the busy peasants, paused for a moment on the bustling and vast ancient city, and finally landed on a garden on the southern outskirts of the city, where the Protector Divine Beast was located.
The flying ship slowly sailed over the garden, but it was still hidden in the clouds and never fell, before determining the trace of the earth dragon, he would never act rashly, hard power He was not afraid of this long worm, but the other party's ability to burrow into the ground was very troublesome, once he escaped with all his strength, it would be difficult for Xu Yue to catch it again.
Unconsciously, he remembered the previous White Bird, these two missions belong to the type of assassination failure that basically has no second chance, the previous one will fly, and this one will escape, which can be described as more troublesome than the other, of course, this is also the reason why no assassin has been able to complete the two assassination orders.
At the bow of the ship, Xu Yue began to recall the whole process of assassinating the white bird before.
The last time he was able to restrain Shiratori's movements, it was because he destroyed the Flying Bird Gate, which Shiratori had always cherished, so that he took the initiative to enter the urn to fight him for his life driven by hatred, but when dealing with the earth dragon, this method is not so easy to use, even if the so-called Protector Divine Beast, it is just a beast after all.
He couldn't guarantee that if he destroyed the capital below with one shot, it would be a frenzied revenge from the Earth Dragon, or a desperate escape, and there were too many civilians in the capital, so he wasn't so ruthless after all.
Sweeping his gaze to the crowd in the city behind him, Xu Yue retracted his gaze, and a high-powered binoculars appeared in his hand, this kind of conventional equipment belongs to one of the wilderness survival packages in the small shop opened by the workers, and he also always has one when he wanders around the park.
His gaze was magnified through the telescope, and the scenes in the garden above were presented in his eyes one by one, and he swept the garden inch by inch, and finally saw the traces of the beast that protected the country in the pool in the center.
"It's not small."
I saw that in the wide pool water, a giant python with a length almost comparable to the number of the day was constantly tumbling and swimming, the fine scales were shining in the water, and from time to time there were fish of several meters in size that were chased by it and jumped out of the water, and then were swallowed in one bite, and when the body jumped, it was clearly visible that its abdomen had a pair of black three-fingered dragon claws.
Earth dragons just have similar living habits to earthworms, but the external characteristics are completely different, they have fine scales on the body surface, the body size is huge, and they will also secrete body fluids, the image is the same as that of snakes, but they live underground, without eyes, a big mouth is round, occupying two-thirds of the area of the head, and there are three layers of internal teeth, showing a ring nesting, sharp and staggered, terrifying and abnormal, as for the dragon claws under the abdomen, this is the special feature of the beast that protects the country.
In short, this king of the earth dragon is much uglier than the ancestral python he encountered in the snake valley before.
During the observation room, the Visible Eye quietly appeared at his side, and then broke away from the airship and flew towards the garden pool under the clouds, naturally figuring out the enemy's specific information before starting the battle.
The Manifestation Eye was a metal ball the size of an adult's fist, made of matte black material that was inconspicuous during the flight, and soon reached the corner of the pool, around which several Guardians were scattered, but all of them were standing with their backs to each other.
As for the earth dragon, it was busy playing in the water and didn't care about a small ball in the middle of nowhere, invisible ripples emanated from the end of the visible eye, and after touching the earth dragon in the pond, it reflected back again, and after the exploration was completed, the metal ball slowly rose, and returned to the sun-chasing airship in the clouds.
Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Xu Yue turned his head to look at the Visible Eye on the side, and a large information light curtain was projected in front of him.
[Comparing the intelligence attributes of both sides..., the comparison is completed, our intelligence is 1.4 times that of the enemy's intelligence, and 100% of the enemy's information is obtained]
The details are as follows:

Skill 3: Piercing Mountains and Mountains (Passive): Long Yuan's demonic power has extremely strong crushing characteristics for soil, rocks and other substances containing soil attributes, and it is like a dragon swimming in water in the underground, mountain rocks and other environments, moving extremely fast, and the claws have strong crushing characteristics for substances containing gold elements.
Skill 4: Sharp Tooth Devouring (Active): Long Yuan's teeth are staggered in three rings, once the bite of the prey will produce great suction, and the failure of the physical strength judgment will be completely swept into the teeth of the rotary strangulation, until the prey is ground into minced meat and swallowed into the abdomen.
Skill 5: Dark Perception (Passive): Loss of vision, so that Long Yuan's skin has an extremely keen perception of vibration, and can accurately perceive things according to the earth, water and other media.
Skill 6: Advanced Self-Healing (Active/Passive): Long Yuan's limbs other than the brain can be quickly healed by digesting demonic power or health.
…………
Long Yuan should be the name of this earth dragon, and after reading the various skills that have been discovered, Xu Yue has already constructed its ability characteristics in his mind.
Although this Protector Divine Beast has strong attributes, its IQ and attack power are not too outstanding, and its active attack skills are only one Devouring, and as for the pair of dragon claws on its abdomen, it should not be difficult to dodge.
The earth dragon is a fairly docile creature, otherwise it is impossible to be tamed by the people of the earth dragon country who are not outstanding in force, they just look a little hideous, after all, they are a species that lives in the dark, and everyone grows up by the way.
All in all, it's not difficult to defeat, the difficult thing is how to kill it, the extremely fast movement speed in the earth, the keen skin perception in the dark, coupled with the ability to heal itself almost immortally, he only has one chance to kill this thing, once he misses, he doesn't know when he will wait for the next time, he can't be consumed in the Earth Dragon Kingdom all the time.
On the deck, Xu Yue retracted the Visible Eye beside him, and then looked at Long Yuan, who was still swimming in the pool below, and pinched his eyebrows with a headache, this thing must be killed with one blow, at least it must be hit hard to make it lose the ability to escape quickly, otherwise it can't be killed at all.
At present, he can only achieve this level of the main cannon of the Successive Sun, but the speed of the main cannon is too slow, with Long Yuan's perception, as long as he drills into the ground when he perceives the threat in the sky, the power of the main cannon will be greatly reduced under the barrier of the earth.
And if you want to block Long Yuan's perception, the best way is to make the sky full of dangers, so as to cover up the movement of the main cannon activation.
In his thoughts, Xu Yue looked at the boundless sea of clouds beside him, but what came to mind was the heavy rainstorm that he had caused above him after he burned the entire Snake Valley before.
Perhaps he could have used a similar method to trigger a massive rainstorm to cover up the Sunrider's attack.
Earth dragons share many similarities to earthworms, both of which prefer to rest underground and generally only leave to burrow out of the surface when they are feeding and playing.
In addition, the earth dragon does not have a nasal cavity, it also relies on the skin to breathe, and even when swimming in the water, some of its limbs will surface.
Therefore, as long as it causes a heavy rain at night, when a large amount of water melts into the surface, it will cause the soil to become damp, the air permeability will become poor, and the oxygen underground will gradually be scarce.
With this somewhat whimsical plan in mind, Xu Yue lowered his head and looked at the huge royal hunting ground near the capital, which was rich in vegetation and ancient trees.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, this plan is not impossible to achieve, no matter what, it is better than hard.
