Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 571: Flowers and Riots
咚! Boom! Boom! ...
Two burly male dragon men who are more than two meters tall and are also called burly among the dragon veins, went into the battle shirtless and raised their drumsticks and struggling to beat the thunderhide drum set on the boulder altar.
The thunderous drum sound spread far throughout the entire oasis, and even the reverberation still echoed in the remote desert for a long time. Even the weird sound-absorbing characteristics did not work on it.
In this vast oasis of five thousand square kilometers, there are about two thousand dragon people living.
Although the land of the same size is at least enough to support more than 30,000 human beings, because of the terrible rate of resource consumption by the dragon people, for them, this place has almost reached the limit of its ability to support.
The most important thing is.
The dragon people living here do not have the conditions for humans to sail. Even if the resources are not enough, they can continue to explore the edge of the known world to discover and plunder more land and resources. First release https://(www) https://m/.x81zw./com/
Even if there are other scattered small communities scattered throughout the vast "forgotten desert", every dragon person knows it very well. Under the premise of being unable to leave [Hades], their resource limit has been completely locked, and this is their last home!
and gifts from the gods are their only hope.
includes: power (blood purification), expanding oasis (water source), knowledge (agriculture, medicine, breeding)...
So in this [Hades], which is a forbidden zone for most living creatures, all the focus of the dragon people's production and life revolves around how to sacrifice to the gods.
I don’t know whether this design was deliberate by the **** at the time. In short, every dragon man here is the most devout believer.
Of course, although there are no foreign enemies, it does not mean that they are not strong.
Dragon people are similar to the direct descendants of royal families in the material world. Most people usually grow up to second-order supernatural naturally after they reach adulthood, but the third-order is still extremely difficult as a threshold.
And they don't have the inheritance of human knights, they have changed to the path of will after the third rank.
Dragons benefit from bloodlines and are also limited by bloodlines. The growth of strength mainly depends on the two indicators of talent and age. Third-order transcendents are also rare here.
After all, even the pureblood shadow dragon is only Tier 4 when it grows up, and the subdragon species of sea dragon is only Tier 3 when it grows up. What's more, it's just a small group of low-level dragon people who don't know how many dragon veins are infected?
echoes with the drum.
The crowd of worshippers has gradually gathered near the megalithic altar in the center of the city. This is a grand ceremony held every spring and autumn. No one dares to neglect.
The arrival of this last moment was faster than An Qi initially expected.
, it was because the original sacrificial ritual had already been prepared. It was only an accident that she became the main course of the sacrificial ritual.
Not far from the altar, a female dragon man holding an obsidian spear is guarded in a rock cell that is fairly clean as a whole.
An Qi gently held up a clay pot containing precious water. This was the only supply she had as a final sacrifice, but she did not drink it, but slowly fell on the corner of the wall with three small plants On the root system of the plant.
涓涓...
These are three herbaceous plants, about thirty centimeters high. The stems are straight and rough, purple-brown, with ovoid plump green leaves and bell-shaped blue-purple flowers, which look similar to ordinary ornamental plants.
But An Qi looked at them like they were looking at priceless treasures.
This kind of plant called [Gentiana] is really just an ordinary plant in nature, and it is widely distributed throughout the material world.
But they have an extraordinary and highly targeted effect.
For dragon vein organisms, it is a natural stimulant and tonic, which is widely used in the human world. The Chattergrass from the Southern Continent and the coca leaf from the New World have similar effects.
is also widely used by dragon people as an auxiliary material for making tobacco or wine. Because of the strong physical resistance of dragon veins, ordinary things in nature can't achieve the effect of stimulating them at all, and the assistance of this special plant is necessary.
But it is this kind of characteristic that Angel, who has lost the limited means of "magic pocket", regards it as her last chance.
After she found two dusty seeds in the cracks of the prison's bricks, she started to catalyze them and induce abnormal changes, taking advantage of the guards who came to patrol regularly.
back then.
Angi can make the flowers of the entire garden bloom instantly when she just converted her "tree of life". The apprenticeship stage can use 【Spell-like·Resurrection】in a very short period of time to cultivate 【Witcher Fly Grass] This powerful and extraordinary plant.
After being promoted to an official wizard, she received two more spiritual benefits, and her current ability is no longer the same as before.
With one afternoon and one night, she has allowed the first two seeds to multiply for hundreds of generations. Among them, the concentration and penetration of an alkaloid as the main active ingredient has increased by nearly a thousand times.
Even if it is just a raw material that has not been artificially purified, it has been turned into a poison that only targets dragon veins.
If it hadn't been for [Gentian Grass] completely under her control and did not let the smell escape, it might have attracted the attention of the Tier 3 female dragon not far from the cell.
No matter how strong the mundane plant poison is, it is impossible to harm an extraordinary creature of this level.
The last three [Gentian grass] will wither automatically when they mature, and the seeds will be collected by Angel in the first place.
The seeds are small, with a total weight of only about 24 milligrams per thousand seeds.
At this time, she had collected a total of 100,000 grains in her hand, but the total weight was actually less than 3 grams. It was hidden in a small hidden pocket that was transformed by "venom", and no one else could find it.
is also her last hope of saving herself.
An Qi firmly believes that the teacher must have been searching for herself at this time. She didn't want Aiwen to find only one corpse in the end, even after being sacrificed, there was no corpse.
That would be too pitiful.
suddenly.
嘭——
Two female dragon men opened the door and walked in, put down a stone trough full of clear water, and threw a white linen robe to An Qi, with a cold voice:
"Sacrifice! Wash yourself and put on this dress. If you don’t cooperate, we will help you by ourselves."
......
As the only two third-order dragon men in the Oasis, they are also the highest-ranking chief and deputy chiefs.
Sea King Dragonman Andreas and Storm Dragonman Leo Ni have put on gorgeous sacrificial costumes and ascended to the highest point of the boulder altar early.
In the big oasis, men and women, young and old, also put on the most solemn costumes, and waited solemnly in the square in front of the altar.
The originally gloomy sun in the sky is obviously more bright at this time.
Because the dragon people have assumed part of the responsibilities of [underworld] administrators, the relationship with those black cliff eagle shamans is similar to the relationship between the federal government and the state government, temporarily adjusting the brightness is just a basic exercise.
The price is that those ghosts who can only wander in the boundless "forgotten desert" are more painful in the sun.
As the shadow of the sundial gradually moved, the leader Andreas, who was staring at this place, struck the gong strongly.
锵——
The sacrificial ceremony officially begins.
The raging flames have been ignited, and the same sacrifices were respectfully sent to the giant stone altar by the dragons. The carefully selected grain, live cattle, melons and fruits...but there is nothing non-renewable.
as the final sacrifice of this sacrifice.
After bathing, she has long silver hair scattered behind her back, An Qi wearing only a pure white linen robe. His hands were locked back by the bronze handcuffs engraved with curses, and he kneeled on a huge golden plate with his bare feet.
, four tall female dragon warriors held high above their heads very grandly, passing through the wide avenue in the middle of the crowd, all the way to the altar.
Under the bright sunshine, the whole body of the pure 15-year-old girl seemed to be shrouded in a hazy light.
The residents of Oasis raised their heads and enthusiastically paid attention to the holy lamb who was about to be sacrificed to the gods.
But in their eyes, what they see is not the pitiful innocent girl, but everything they desire for this year's water source, harvest, healthy growth of offspring and so on.
In [Hades], a dragon man who is not rich in material, has no extra compassion for other irrelevant people. Anyway, it is others who sacrifice, and it is yourself who enjoys the benefits, right?
Even the wounded Dorok, who was rescued by An Qi yesterday, has the same expression on his face as the people around him.
this time.
But no one noticed the white cloth robe on the girl, which seemed to be slightly more delicate than the normal level of craftsmanship in the oasis. No one noticed that as the gold plate moved, countless small particles spread with the wind along the way, covering the entire sacrificial plaza.
knelt and sat on the golden plate. In the eyes of others, she seemed to be An Qi who was already a lamb to be slaughtered. Her eyes were fixed on the fanatical crowd, but there was no expression on her face.
During this period, the Tier 3 female dragonman named Leo Ni was sitting outside the cell all the way, and she was not given any chance.
However, when people gather, the effect of using [Gentiana] may be better.
Anqi had been in places like military camps and pirate regiments all day long ago. Under her ears, the defensive network of these dragon people is almost indistinguishable from primitive people in her eyes.
As long as they can create a large-scale chaos and make the two Tier 3s overwhelmed, with this top version of the "Venom" armor, she is confident that she can escape here safely.
After all, no matter how rigorous and sophisticated the defense system is, there may be unexpected loopholes if it is not tested in actual combat. What's more, these company formations may all be dragons learned from the Atrians.
The sacrificial rituals of the dragon people start on time, regardless of anyone's will.
An Qi didn't yell or scream, she was very docile, and quietly waited for that opportunity.
A dragon vein warlock climbed onto the altar, holding a magic book covered with fine scales in his hand, chanting prayers loudly:
"Holy! The black dragon, the ancestor of the dragon veins, the noble dragon king Nidhogg who guards the [Stay]..."
The powerful magic book "Dragon Covenant", in addition to being the core of the sacrificial ritual, it also records the names, habits, and preferences of some of the powerful dragons that exist in the world (the fourth tier when they reach adulthood) , Public seal deed...
As the chant progressed, a grand and solemn atmosphere enveloped the altar, and orange-red flames began to scatter, as if a messy wind gathered here from all directions.
this time.
Everyone is already kneeling on one knee, dropping their heads deeply, even the guards of the altar and the two powerful leaders of Tier 3 are no exception.
may be because of An Qi’s consistent attitude, no one thinks this cooked duck can fly. First release www.(x81zw)m./x81zw/
"Chance!"
An Qi's big cold eyes lit up slightly, and the seemingly simple cloth robe on her body quickly spread to her whole body without any wind. In the blink of an eye, she has turned into a close-fitting dark blue "venom" armor.
In addition to the integration of power augmentation, venom sword, venom armor, automatic repair, low-level intelligence, strain language, etc., there are also powerful life support systems and mimicry capabilities~IndoMTL.com~ can be flexibly transformed into various Clothing and equipment.
The original linen robe was broken down by "venom" long ago, and turned into a robe.
Then, the accumulation of "venom" on the wrists of both hands turned into a cutter.
Click!
The bronze handcuffs that inhibited extraordinary abilities broke at the sound.
An Qi's petite figure gradually disappeared into the air, and at the same time, the power that was blocked by the handcuffs has been restored.
flo——
Angel's eyes flickered, and she uttered a curse that contained infinite vitality without mercy.
[Witchcraft·Activated Plants]
The invisible light wave spreads rapidly around the altar.
多多多....
is so close that I can hear the sound of flowers blooming.
Bunches of brightly colored modified [gentian grass] grew from each dragon, and many of them even took root on someone's clothes.
In an instant, the altar had turned into a sea of blue-purple flowers!
A strange fragrance fills almost every corner of the Oasis.
sniff...
"What smell is this?"
The two leaders with the sharpest sense of smell suddenly raised their heads and looked down at their feet.
Next moment.
"Hahaha, the deputy leader Leo Ni belongs to me!!!"
Although there was a scream from below the altar, the riot started.
