Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 363: Core of Alien Ecosystem (3/3)

Ancient monsters and real dragons are extremely powerful creatures, they are located at the apex of the ecological niche of the Terra Continent, and can even be ranked alongside 'human beings'.

They are often collectively referred to as 'ancient dragons', but in fact, some ancient dragons are not ancient, and the history of their birth can be traced.

It's just that this is not important, because the characteristic of the ancient dragon is its existence itself, which will completely change the surrounding ecological environment.

Steel Dragon’s transformation of Indigo Mountain and the surrounding mountains is obvious. The change in the physical properties of the rocks is the most terrifying manifestation of the power of ancient dragons. Their source quality and powerful life spirit energy are like a living volcano. , flowing out continuously, can imperceptibly dye all local materials and creatures with its own color.

Some people even say that the reason why there are so many monsters of the earth metal branch in Nanling is precisely because of the existence of the steel dragon. However, there are some scholars who refute that. They believe that the facts are completely opposite. It is precisely because there are so many metal-based life forms in the Nanling Mountains that there is an environment for the breeding and growth of Qiganglong.

In this regard, Yin En's idea is very simple.

"Doesn't this sound like an evolution of Crystal Dragon's 'Core of Alien Ecosystem'?"

"Ancient monsters and real dragons... um, or in other words, a man-made super life form?"

Riding on a camel beast, Yin En looked up at the Indigo Mountain not far away. This mountain with a height of more than 2,000 meters is already towering into the sky, and the mountain range where it is located will continue to extend to the southwest and finally reach Harrison Port The surrounding area, protruding into the Ocean of Storms, formed the skeleton foundation of today's Baisen Peninsula.

And at the final point of this skeleton is the 'Sequoia Base' located deep underground. Among the thirteen heterogeneous ecological circles underground, one is a 'metal-based ecological circle'.

Crystal Dragon is an artificial life created by the pre-epoch civilization. Its purpose is to adapt to the local ecology in various extreme alien environments, and build a large ecological shelter with its own strength.

The latter is because Yin En has not seen a strong enough living crystal dragon, so he does not know whether this function has been realized, but the former is undoubtedly very successful.

But Gu Long is different.

They are not adapted to the environment.

They transform the environment.

Yin En recalled that among the many travel notes and rumors he had read, there were records and legends about ancient dragons.

It is said that deep in the desert of Flaming Land, there is an oasis of frost that keeps moving. There, there are frost fruit grass and ice-free cold springs that only grow in extremely cold regions. Only the most clear and greedy mind , to enter this place when you are hungry and thirsty, and be entertained by Frost Island.

This may be the evidence of an ancient water-type dragon that is friendly to humans wandering in the desert of Flaming Land, a kind of extraordinary ecological circle that is against nature.

Even if they arrive on a foreign planet by accident, they can allow a group of pioneers to survive in the most suitable environment and build a frontline base's "ecosphere core".

Thinking of this, Yin En sensed the 'ancient dragon core' in his body.

Hilliard's heart, which was passed on to him by the teacher, has been restored to some integrity after being repaired by the marsh crocodile brain nucleus.

After connecting with the 'ether crystal' on his left arm, it began to operate actively.

Although on the surface, it still has no other functions other than storing a large amount of source matter, but it is indeed slowly rising and falling, like a real second heart, behind Yin En's source seed and heart sideways.

The power of ancient dragons comes from their two 'hearts'.

This heart is the 'heart core' and 'furnace core'.

Now, Yin En already possesses both of them... It's just that they are not complete and need to be slowly repaired and unlocked.

But it is not necessarily wrong to say that he is a humanoid ancient dragon hatchling...

No one said that people can't be ancient dragons, right?

"It's not a big problem to repair and unlock - the silver chip has a complete design of the fire engine, but I still need to continue to learn the knowledge of the inscriptions on Terra Continent before I can reproduce it in my body."

The young man is not worried about this, he is just a little unclear about what the current activation of Gu Long's core means.

It didn't enhance one's own physique, nor did it actively optimize the quality of source quality, let alone other functions that are easier to be detected.

However, it is a good thing to be able to work. Yin En now has plenty of time to wait.

"Where is the fortress of the mountain people?"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Yin En asked Brin, who was also looking up at the sky beside him, and the other party replied straightforwardly: "It must have been demolished. In what era are they still building fortresses in the pass, waiting to be used by others?" Are you ashamed of the air-dropped bombs?"

"However, on the halfway up the Indigo Mountain, there is an artillery position jointly built by Nauman City and the mountain people. There are three brigades of artillery stationed there, and there are Yalong knights patrolling. People can beat them."

"I said so." Yin En understood, he turned his head and continued to stare ahead.

The warm wind in early summer is not suffocating, but brings a sense of freshness. The verdant forests and vegetation stop when they reach the foot of the Indigo Mountain.

No normal plants can grow on the land affected by the ancient dragon. There is only a kind of low silver-blue grass that stubbornly takes root on the ground, and the leaves sway slightly with the wind.

Because there are no big trees and the field of vision is unobstructed and wide, Yin En can even see the long-lost wide sky at the mouth of the gorge. A rather interesting but also magnificent picture.

The white room caravan slowly headed towards the other end of the gorge, which is a dividing line between the real frontier and the civilized world.

North of the Onyx Stone Plain is the old Nanling Province that has been developed for more than two hundred years. The prosperity of Nauman City is not inferior to the capital of any imperial province.

And to the south of Indigo Mountain is the new colony headed by Sanshan City and Harrison Port, which is full of natives and wild beasts, and ferocious monster groups occupy every piece of fertile land.

Only the bravest settlers, the most vicious outlaws, and the happiest outcasts and hapless wretches settle there.

Yin En knew that soon he would be separated from the caravan, so he went back to pack his luggage.

As an alchemist, his luggage is quite heavy, and he needs a camel to pull it. However, Yin En has a lot of means to speed up and reduce the burden on his mount, as long as he acts alone.

However, just after he packed his bags and got out of the carriage, he found a large number of mountain people around the gorge.

These mountain people who believe in the dragon **** wear fur vests, carry short bows on their backs, and wear large and small horn ornaments on their heads. It is said that these are obsessed with the horns of their dragon god.

The stone knives and iron knives of different lengths on the waist are located on the left and right respectively. These are weapons that only warriors in the clan can hold at the same time.

They stared at the caravan in silence without saying a word. Yin En subconsciously thought that this was the looting scene of the Terra world that he had always wanted to see—but as the caravan steward stepped forward, After the bone whistle on the chest blew five melodious tunes, the team of mountain people became noisy, and some mountain people behind seemed to be carrying something.

Not long after, a mountain warrior held up a rattan basket full of fur and animal bones with both hands, and placed it in front of the caravan, and several caravan members began to talk to them with strong accents He exchanged prices in his common language and ordered others to fetch goods such as salt, herbs, spices and tea from the convoy.
