Monarch of Evernight: The dissimilation of seventy-four crystal clusters


bsp;The new world is still as desolate and silent as the last time Qianye saw it. It took an hour for the 30,000-strong army to move into that brand-new land. Although the strongest warriors were selected and the blood glands were taken in advance, many warriors still became unfit and some even died directly.

After sending the soldiers with adverse physical reactions back to the rear, the first thing Qianye did was not rush to send his troops deep. Instead, he ordered the engineers to build fortifications on the high **** in front of the valley, intending to secure the door firmly. On the other hand, he sent dozens of small-scale troops to conduct reconnaissance in all directions and draw terrain maps simultaneously to grasp the surrounding environment and trends at the first time.

Qianye himself and Carol are preparing to explore in depth.

The stone platform in the valley remains unchanged and looks like just a pile of stones. Crossing the valley, we arrived at the area where dark gold sand and gravel deposits were discovered. Seeing the vast amounts of dark gold ore, Carol couldn't calm down.

After a brief exploration, Carol believed that this should be a mineral vein, and it was so shallow that the ore was exposed on the surface. Such rich resources exist only in certain areas of the upper continent of Evernight in legends. They are all the traditional core territories of the four dark races. Unexpectedly, they encountered them at the door of the new world today.

It is conceivable how fierce the competition for territory in the new world will be in the future.

Qianye no longer focused on the mineral veins. He tried to take off. After several attempts, he finally adapted to the laws of the force in the new world and rose into the sky with a slight stagger. Looking from a high place, several huge stone pillars in the distance caught his attention. Those stone pillars are hundreds of meters high. Although the weather and frost marks are obvious, there are several prisms on the surface, which look like artificial creations at first glance.

On the distant horizon, a flash of blue-green appeared. According to the analysis of the Imperial Research Institute, the food of alien beasts should contain a variety of metal components. If this is common, then plants in the New World will often appear in colors such as dark green, blue, and dark red. It was difficult to judge the distance now. Qianye felt that his vision was blurry, perhaps quite far away. He could only faintly see that it seemed to be a forest.

Having a forest means a lot of life, and you are more likely to encounter a lot of strange beasts.

While observing, Carol also got used to the operation of the Force under the new rules, and was finally able to safely lift into the sky and come to Qianye's side.

Qianye pointed to the stone pillar in the distance and said, "Let's go there first and take a look."

"Okay."

Both of them are top powerhouses. They are becoming more and more proficient in mastering the Force, and their flying speed is getting faster and faster. In the end, they are almost the same as in the world of eternal night. The distance of tens of kilometers was reached in an instant, and the two of them were hovering in front of a huge stone pillar.

From a closer look, the appearance of this huge stone pillar is even more impressive. Its diameter is more than ten meters, and there are gaps on the surface. It is obviously made of artificially cut stones. It's just that those rocks are too big, each one is several meters square and weighs dozens of tons. It's so huge, I don't know how it was built.

Qianye flew around the huge stone pillar, then went to the top to observe, but saw nothing. He pondered for a moment, then used his sword to dig out a rock. He didn't see anything, it was just an ordinary rock.

They explored the other stone pillars for a while, but found nothing special. Carol put her hand on the stone pillar and felt it carefully for a while, then turned back and asked: "Did you feel anything?"

"No."

"This stone pillar is wet."

Qianye stretched out his fingers and grabbed a stone from the stone pillar, and looked at it carefully. The surface of the stone is unusually dry, but there is indeed a little moisture inside.

Carol felt it for a moment and said with certainty: "This stone pillar is absorbing the surrounding water vapor and force, and maybe something else."

The air in the new world is humid, but everything is dry. The root cause of this phenomenon is that the Force here absorbs water. And this stone pillar can actually absorb the moisture and force in the air.

Qianye pulled out Dongyue with a sword without a handle, then turned his wrist and spun out a small stone core. Nothing can be seen on this stone core, but through the hole, Qianye's true vision can observe the force flowing underground.

Qianye landed at the base of the stone pillar and said, "Let's dig down and take a look."

Carol and Qianye started digging together at a crazy speed. The ground continued to sink, reaching a depth of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye. Suddenly a flash of blue light flashed in front of the two of them, and a cluster of light blue crystals appeared in front of them.

This cluster of crystals is only the size of an arm and is half-buried in the stone pillar. It looks like it grew there. As soon as it appeared, there was a buzzing sound in Qianye's ears, as if he heard bursts of sharp bees.

Carol squatted down, looked at the cluster of crystals carefully, and said, "Is this what the New World will look like after the Force is concentrated?"

There are smoke and clouds swirling inside the crystal, which is extremely gorgeous. Even if it is sealed by crystals, you can still feel the extremely rich aura of the Force inside. Those wisps of smoke are the product of the extreme concentration of the Force in the New World.

Qianye suddenly felt something in his heart, pulled Carol up and said, "Something is coming."

The two people jumped into the air, rushed to the top of the stone pillar in an instant, and stood on it.

I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and more than a dozen strange beasts were flying towards me. These strange beasts range from big to small, with different types. They rushed straight under the stone pillar, and when they saw the crystals in the pit, they immediately rushed in like crazy. As soon as the first strange beast jumped into the pit, its hind legs were bitten by another strange beast, and it was thrown out of the pit with a hard slap.

The bite was so severe that it directly bit off the hind legs of the strange beast. When the other beasts saw that their companion was injured, they all went crazy. They swarmed up and tore it into pieces in a blink of an eye. After seeing the blood, the alien beasts could no longer hold back and began to fight each other. The fight was tumbling and rolling. In the blink of an eye, they were all dead and injured. Only the strongest one was still standing, but it was also covered with wounds.

This strange beast is shaped like a liger, with six legs and several bone spurs on its long and powerful tail. It was about several meters tall, and it was definitely a giant beast by Yongye's standards. However, among the alien beasts Qianye had seen, it could only be considered to be about average.

It jumped into the deep pit, bit down on the cluster of blue crystals, chewed it several times, and swallowed it. When the crystal entered its belly, the alien beast staggered as if it was drunk, and barely jumped out of the pit. As soon as it took off its front legs, it fell to the ground, then rolled around and growled in pain. The surface of its body is constantly undulating, as if there are many small animals burrowing under the skin.

In the blink of an eye, the skin and flesh of the alien beast cracked, bone spurs protruded, and pieces of bone scales emerged from under the skin, cutting the animal's skin until it was dripping with blood. Along with these changes, its size also continued to grow, increasing by less than half before stopping. As the size of the alien beast became larger, the alien beast appeared to be skinny. It barely supported its body, staggered to crawl to the corpses of other alien beasts, and began to devour them desperately.

This strange beast has rows of sword-like spurs growing from its head to its tail, and bone scales are growing on its key parts such as its shoulders, back and buttocks, clearly showing that its offense and defense have reached a new level. After the changes in its body became relatively stable, it suddenly raised its head and looked at Qianye and Carol on the top of the stone pillar. There were obvious emotional changes in its eyes.

If just now it was a beast acting on instinct, then at this moment, it became an intelligent creature.

Seeing the changes in the alien beasts, Qianye raised his eyebrows and said: "It turns out that this is how the commanders in the alien beast army came to be."

In the Alien Beast Legion, there is not only a clear division of labor among the various alien beasts, but also a clear hierarchy. Some alien beasts are obviously larger and more powerful than the same race, and even have significant differences in appearance. This kind of six-legged leopard has both strength and speed, and is one of the main forces in ground attacks. Their commander is the six-legged armored beast in front of them, which has bone spurs, scales, and is enlightened with wisdom.

The six-legged armored beast on the ground stared at Qianye, backed away slowly, then suddenly turned around and ran away.

How could Qianye let it escape? The figure flashed in front of the armored beast. Dongyue swung out and slapped it **** the back. The blow was faster than lightning. The armored beast had no room to dodge, and was pressed to the ground by the heavy sword.

Qianye only struck with the back of his sword. He saw that it had gained wisdom and planned to surrender. However, even though it was suppressed by absolute power, the armored beast still struggled desperately, preferring to die rather than surrender. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and Qianye had no choice but to cut off its neck bone with a sword.

Qianye and Carol returned to the stone pillar and started digging. Sure enough, they saw several more clusters of crystals. Some of those crystals are big, some are small, and some of them have just sprouted.

After inspection, Qianye carefully removed the three largest clusters of crystals and put them into Anduya's space. These crystals can unlock the wisdom of beasts, which is really extraordinary. Qianye plans to send them to Zhao Jundu to study them with the help of the empire.

At this moment, a small thing suddenly moved in the corner of Anduya's space, and immediately sent out waves of strong fluctuations, impacting Qianye's consciousness.

Qianye was startled, and his consciousness quickly glanced over, but he had to think for a moment before he remembered what the small stone-like thing was. It was a female insect he had encountered in the maelstrom. It had never moved since she got it. It had always been in a dormant state. Unexpectedly, at this moment, it suddenly woke up.

Qianye took out the female insect. As soon as it left Anduya's space, it suddenly attacked and bit Qianye's finger. The insect is not big, but its bite force is extremely powerful, and it directly tears the skin of the fingers.

I didn’t expect this little thing to be so powerful just after it could move. Qianye was caught off guard and was in pain. His fingers loosened, and the insect flew away, pounced on the crystal of the stone pillar below, and chewed and devoured it. Those solid crystals were like chewing jelly beans in its mouth, and it ate them loudly.

In the blink of an eye, a crystal larger than its body was swallowed clean. I don’t know how its belly is so long that it can hold such a big thing.

After eating the entire crystal, the zerg spins out a large ball of white silk, forms a cocoon, and wraps itself in it.

Qianye smiled bitterly and looked up at Carol. The latter was stunned. She didn't expect that such a space device could actually contain living things. The two briefly exchanged a few words and decided not to touch the cocoon and wait aside. With the precedent of strange beasts, the mutation process of this little insect would not be too slow.

Not long after, the cocoon was bitten open, and a giant insect that was covered in armor and about the length of an arm emerged from it. It raised its head and looked at Qianye for the first time. From those compound eyes, there was a sense of closeness.

It opened its back armor, stretched out its two pairs of wings, soared into the sky, and pounced on Qianye like lightning!

Carol was startled and wanted to block it with a whip, but Qianye raised his hand and suppressed the tip of the thunder whip. In this little gap, the zerg had already pounced on Qianye!

But it did not bite, but quickly crawled along Qianye's body to his shoulders, stopped there, and kept touching Qianye with its short beard, looking very intimate.

Carol was very surprised and said: "Is it because it drank your blood?"

"Maybe, my bloodline is special, and it also unlocks wisdom, so you probably regard me as a relative."

"This little guy looks pretty good, but I don't know if he's powerful or not." Carol looked at the Zerg, not daring to reach out and touch it. She was a girl after all, so seeing such a big bug made her feel a little scared.

The zerg seemed to understand Carol's words, and let out a short cry, soared into the air, and rushed towards a corpse of an alien beast like lightning. There was only a muffled sound, and it came from the side of the alien beast's head. It crashed in, and then came out from the other side. The whole process was like a large-caliber high-level force sniper rifle, which was fired against the head of the alien beast.

PS: I accidentally locked myself in a dark room and crawled out after finishing two updates.
