Chapter 806 Am I a Test Subject? ! (7800)

Chapter 806 I...I am a test subject? ! (7800)

Close to the fifth energy level, or an incomplete fifth energy level. Ian was not surprised by this. Rather, it would be strange if there was no such level of danger in the ruins of a super-giant pre-era civilization with Forerunner Echoes and True Dragon Sons.

You know, even in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, if the crystal dragon and the frost moth did not die together, there would still be an area where two fourth-level monsters existed - and as long as the ether crystal dragon grows up, it will soon burst out. The terrifying power inherited from the giant beast 'Aether Dragon', the fifth energy level is not a problem at all!

"Ian what did you see?"

The Mountain King and other fourth-level powerhouses will not enter the ruins. They will only stay in the camp at the entrance and exit to monitor the situation and rescue the explorers when needed.

Of course, He also knew about Ian's identity as a prophet, so when he saw the young man stopped moving forward, he asked why.

"It's just like what the eldest prince and I told you before."

Ian said bluntly: "There may indeed be a fourth-level peak here, or even powerful dragon blood with fifth-level characteristics, or even a real dragon."

"Is that so?" The Mountain King was not surprised. The beautiful woman thought for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "Is he the son of Qiang Ganglong?"

"No." Ian shook his head: "It's strange to say that I didn't sense the aura of Qiangang Dragon. I obviously inherited the power of Qiangang Dragon God, and I had the Book of Silver Glory so I could detect it immediately. "

"Don't worry too much." Anfa comforted him: "The information blockage inside the ruins is very serious. It is normal to not notice it... Once something goes wrong, we will retreat."

Who among those who come here to explore does not know the possible dangers? Ian just made this possibility clear, which made everyone no longer afraid.

The team moved on.

The entrance that Ian was assigned to was a natural fissure located in the southeast of the underground cavity area. Due to years of mining, groundwater subsided and the geology was destroyed. Therefore, the rock formations in the wilderness collapsed, coincidentally forming a gap that led directly to the depths of the earth.

Canaan Moore's logistics staff solidified the gap to form a path for people to walk on.

There are not many such cavities in Terra. The violent geological changes caused by the Skyfall disaster buried many civilizations of the previous era, but those cities and large research institutes had defense means. The power of these civilizations confronted the power of heaven and earth, forming one after another underground. maze'.

Semi-automatic nano-automatic machines like Moran Steel are now constantly expanding the boundaries of the maze, not to mention some alien species that naturally build nests in rock formations.

Thump thump thump. The sound of footsteps sounded clearly as everyone descended along the solid tunnel. On top of the cracked tunnel formed by the changes in the earth's crust, there were rows of cold light lamps. They extended all the way to the depths, forming a path of light.

Following this clear and solid path of light, Ian and others soon arrived at the 'edge of the ruins' 1,200 meters underground.

One thousand two hundred meters. This is where many deep mines are located. Back then, gold miners dug all the way down to the underground cavity where the Alien Research Institute was located - there was a wonderful amount of oxygen, fresh air, and even plants, light and water. The food is plentiful, with fish, fruits and vegetables, it’s like a paradise.

The miner who discovered this did not tell others immediately. Instead, he hid the cavity and built a hut there as a resting place. He even planned to take his family there and live almost A happy life in seclusion.

However, it is impossible to only have fruit trees and fish in that cavity.

There are also Warcraft.

"The air is really fresh."

When Ian and his party left the corridor, their eyes suddenly opened up. What was revealed in front of everyone was a huge and bright underground world.

There are fluorescent moss and fungi growing on the top and four walls of the nearly 100-meter-high rock. There is an underground river flowing at the edge of the cavity, and there are many purple-black underground plants growing scattered on the ground. There are black berries, stacked like ears of wheat.

Ian leaned over and picked a berry and crushed it. The sweet smell like grapes came out, but it felt harder, similar to the crispness of an apple.

"It tastes good." After confirming that it was not poisonous, Ian chewed it in his mouth, and then couldn't help but nod: "The taste is a bit powdery, not very good, but if it is boiled and turned into pulp, and then paired with other foods, it will definitely be called delicious. "

No wonder the miners want to settle here. As long as they don't have too many desires, this is really a peaceful place where they don't have to worry about food, clothing and water.

This is the ‘edge of ruins’. Deep in the cavity in the distance is the real entrance to the ruins of the Xenogeneic Research Institute. This place should now be the life-sustaining plants planted by the survivors. Even after being wild for more than a thousand years, they still maintain stable genetic traits. .

"Go forward."

Here, Ian and his team began to put on weapons. Ian put on the Sky Winding Armor, and Isengard also put on a dark gray light armor - although it looked light, it was actually a mithril alloy, which was extremely strong and extremely light.

Xio and Anfa each also wore scale armor made of their own body scales. It was not only strong, but could also change their appearance under their power and exert powerful damage.

In comparison, Ian's Sky-Encircling Armor seems very shabby - even if Ian has used his own technology to transform this sublimated armor, but facing the top equipment such as Mithril Alloy Armor and Dragon Scale Armor, it will be useless. For example, +10 blue equipment cannot fight against +2 dark gold equipment.

"This won't work. I'll make an appointment with a forging master for you next time." Isengard knew that Ian had the Blood River Arms as his trump card, but the equipment on the surface must also be advanced, otherwise there may be an accident with him. flaw.

"Anfa and I can provide materials!" Xio was also very interested. As for the materials in her mouth... of course they were their scales.

"Thank you for your kindness..." And Ian keenly felt the weird atmosphere of 'a stay-at-home guy being dragged out to buy nice clothes and improve his clothes by pretending to be a friend'. He smiled wryly and waved his hand, sending Xio who was about to step forward to measure the data. He held down and said, "But let's wait until we get out... Don't start measuring my height and shoulder width now. I'm still growing and growing very fast!"

This is just a small episode. With the support of Ian's power, even ordinary iron armor is comparable to dragon scales, not to mention that the Sky Winding Armor is considered the best among blue armors and is sufficient in most cases.

There is a team of knights following everyone, transporting several logistical equipment and supplies prepared in containers for them. Ian's charging rifle and magnetic storm generator are among them. They will follow Ian and others all the way to the second level of the ruins. It won't stop until the 'forward camp'.

Following the road in the underground cavity, the air was unusually fresh. Ian noticed that there was wind here. Apparently there was a passageway directly to the outside somewhere, or a giant air purification device.

In addition, Ian also vaguely saw that inside the many purple sorrel plants and moss fungi in the cavity, there were many corpses of beasts and monsters... and even human corpses.

These white bones, or even fossils, can be said to be very old. Most of them have decayed into disgrace, but those parts that have survived have some special features in common.

"It's an aberration."

Isengard also noticed these corpses, and the professional biological alchemist focused his eyes: "Some are bone hyperplasia, some are limb duplication, and some are skin exoskeletons... This is a very primitive 'biological enhancement', using low-harm Aberrations enhance power, and it only takes a few generations of cultivation to turn these aberrant traits into normal, benign traits.”

"These corpses... are very old."

"This proves that there must be more perfect enemies in the ruins." Anfa said lightly: "The last time I explored, I encountered a giant bone-armored spider that was foraging for food on the third floor. It deformed into a very powerful form. Acid-breathing organ.”

Xio, however, had no fluctuations in this, and even felt like, 'That's it? ’ feeling - and indeed it was, the aberrations in these beasts and humans were really nothing compared to what he had experienced.

"As expected of the Xenogeneic Research Institute."

Ian sighed and then moved on.

Soon, in the center of the underground cavity, everyone saw what they wanted.

A building buried by rock formations that does not make it any less majestic.

In the dim underground space illuminated by the faint light of the fungus, a huge black wall stood silently.

Too huge.

The huge black wall touches the dome and leads down to the earth. The rock walls on the left and right sides are completely blocked by it. The entire underground cavity is just a part of the huge wall that everyone can see, a fragment of the whole... The huge dark wall occupies everyone's field of vision, seemingly endless and infinitely tall.

The giant wall is not pure black, but has fine crystal lattice patterns on its surface, shimmering like water.

Even without using the silver chip, Ian was keenly aware that this was an extremely powerful radiation-resistant material and inscription structure. This should be the outermost protective wall of the Alien Research Institute, allowing it to survive the aftermath of the Skyfall Disaster. A structure that survived a psychic blast.

Ian stretched out his hand and touched it, etching the structure with his soul, while Anfa searched around and found the entrance: "Here, Ian."

The entrance is a huge damaged depression, obviously the result of a meteorite impact. A gray-black iron-core meteorite is embedded in the surface of the black wall, making it depressed, with cracks leading to the interior.

Although it is said to be a crack, it is actually thirty meters high and more than five meters wide. For humans, it is almost like a gate. The meteorite is inlaid in an area of ​​seventy meters high. There are also huge cracks there, but they are very small. Difficult to pass

This meteorite is also very unusual. It is in the shape of a shuttle, and there is a strong fluctuation of the source material inside, causing the gray-black shell to flash with faint blue lines from time to time.

——It’s a fragment of the Gazing Moon!

This is the disaster caused by the Skyfall, the fragments of the Overlooking Moon falling into Terra, and the cracks created on the surface of the Civilization Research Institute of the previous era!

Ian's pupils condensed slightly. The disaster thousands of years ago created a crack in the most elite research institute of mankind. Thousands of years later, the chip holder left by the former owner of the research institute returned to this place. The rift goes into it.

Fate, or is it a miracle? It is always difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between the two, and even those who are sublime cannot figure it out.

Ian also wanted to take this lunar meteorite away and study it. After all, it was a fragment of the Overlooking Moon, which was the star fragment that had come into contact with the true power of the Skyfall spacecraft and destroyed the power of the Skyfall spacecraft... That was definitely of great research value.

But this is not the time.

"This protective layer is actually more than ten meters thick?!"

After entering from the damaged corner of the Alien Research Institute, Xio couldn't help but sigh. Even the high walls of the Imperial Capital were probably not that thick. There was a hollow biomass structure inside.

"Basic communication has been interrupted." Isengard also keenly sensed that from the moment he entered the black wall, the communication to the outside world basically disappeared completely. There was no electromagnetic wave signal or even psychic energy that could easily cross it and survive the skyfall. The high wall of disaster.

After all, this is a wall used to block cosmic rays and psychic energy.

But this did not hinder the Terran people from exploring - after entering through the gap, the first thing they saw was not the scene inside the Alien Research Institute, but a seven-meter-high communication base station and a small communication tower. Arcs of electricity flashed across the tower.

"This is a communication base station built by the advance team. It can maintain communications on the first and second floors."

While logging into the communication equipment of everyone in the team at the base station, Anfa explained: "In this way, the fourth-level experts outside can roughly grasp the situation in the ruins, and even on the third level, important explorers can be detected. If there is an accident, they will immediately come to the rescue."

“It’s different having professional help.”

Ian felt a little emotional. It was not that simple for him and Isengard to explore the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea back then. There was neither an advance team nor a logistics staff. Everything was very troublesome. If he hadn't carried the potion with him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to do it in the end. Have the energy to defeat the Hive Mastermind.

But now? What he has behind him are resources based on containers... This is an exploratory operation backed by a big force.

Passing through the crack, behind the black wall is a vast and bright river plain. On top of the steel dome, rows of sun lamps are shining, providing sufficient light and nutrients for the plants inside. The artificial river provides necessary With the irrigation and the already quite warm temperature more than a thousand meters deep underground, this is exactly the temperate plain area most suitable for human life.

This is the first level of the Alien Research Institute [Sekisui Plain].

Based on the experience of the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, Ian determined that this was an outer breeding area created by pre-era civilizations to serve as a buffer and to provide food and resources in the doomsday time. There are many harmless farmed animals in the plains, which are not much different from the pigs and cows common in Terra outside, but they don't have much power.

If there is a wild difference between wild boars and domestic pigs in the outside world, there is also a huge difference between Terran domestic pigs and pre-era domestic pigs. These domesticated animals of pre-era civilization are very docile and almost non-aggressive.

"Hey, what kind of fish is this?"

Xiou was very interested in all of this. She even went to see the specific meat quality of these farmed animals wandering on the grassland. After confirming that they were quite ordinary, she shook her head in disappointment and came back.

However, on the way back, she found a rather strange creature in a nearby river - it was a stuffed fish covered with steel wool. From a distance, it looked like a fish in the water. The wandering fluffy ball looked quite cute, so the dragon girl picked it up out of curiosity.

"Ian Ian! What kind of creature is this? Why does it have only hair all over its body but not much flesh and bones?"

Although Xiou suspected that Ian was a question-and-answer machine, Ian didn't mind using his own knowledge to identify this strange creature: "Let me see..."

Ian took the stuffed fish from Xio's hand. He stared at it for a while, without using his psychic powers or the silver chip, and then suddenly laughed: "Interesting. Pre-era civilization is so interesting."

"What?" Not only did Xio open his eyes wide now, but Isengard and Anfa also came over and asked curiously: "Does Ian know what this fish is?"

At this point, Anfa held his chin with his hand and said with emotion: "The scholars here have spent several weeks unable to find the origin of this creature, nor can they understand the thinking of the pre-era civilization in designing it. Well, can you tell it at a glance?"

"certainly."

With that said, Ian grabbed the stuffed fish and pressed it towards his boots: "Because this is the fish that the hair brush of a certain creature from the pre-era civilization became wild!"

Click click click, the bristles of the stuffed fish are just right in softness and hardness, and contain a certain amount of moisture. They are just right for brushing shoes, and they can be brushed clean easily. After brushing the shoes, Ian was stunned by his companions. He threw the stuffed fish into the river aside with his eyes: "It is an artificial biological tool that has turned into a real life after a long time... This feeling, although you may feel insulted."

Turning his head, Ian looked at Xiou and Anfa, and he said sincerely: "But don't you think this is very similar to a real dragon?"

"Well...indeed."

Anfa fell into deep thought, while Xio pondered for a while, and said with some frustration: "I can't refute it...My mother also often said that his generation of true dragons is a complete life...Yes, true dragons, to put it bluntly, are also Gradually transformed into true life from the tools of the ancient Creator... I was even born of a mother!”

"Remember to say mother." Ian reminded: "The king of the mountain can see it."

"Ah..." Xio was dumbfounded. She quickly apologized in vain, and then pretended to be a lady.

Isengard: "Haha, luckily my mother didn't come to see me."

Ian sneered: "Stop being funny, Mrs. Ellen is probably watching the broadcast in the Imperial Capital now."

After the fun, Ian and others moved on.

The little fish just now reminded everyone that the ruins they were going to explore were the largest and most comprehensive 'Alien Laboratory' in all of Terra... Today, thousands of years later, how many mutated and distorted monsters will exist here? This is really unimaginable.

After a while, many scattered village ruins can be seen. These village ruins can be seen to contain residential areas and storage areas, as well as assembly halls and simple scientific research areas. Obviously, even in the doomsday shelter era, the research institute The people among them have not given up on scientific research, and are also passing on the inheritance... In the center of several villages, there is even a rather solid compound made of the same material as the black wall... with words written in Common Language on it.

【Shelter School】

"...Even in the end of the world, the shelter still values ​​education and wants to pass on knowledge and hope."

Watching this scene, Ian's expression became serious. Everyone around him, whether Isengard or Anfaxio, noticed this.

They saw that in their eyes, the young man who had always had a mentality of 'it doesn't matter' and 'he's not as strong as me' had a rare emotion called respect and solemnity towards the ruins in front of him... But this The emotion quickly passed away and was absorbed into the heart.

"Just keep going."

Ian retracted his gaze and said calmly, looking towards the 'forward base' that was already vaguely visible in the distance.

The first two floors of the Alien Research Institute have been explored by the advance team, and valuable things have been recovered and taken away. Today's advanced base is not only a large base station for maintaining communication signals, but also the entrance to the second floor. Flat metal plates build a base square here, with many alchemical equipment operating on it.

Many staff are busy, and there are many screens in the open-air workbench, which are broadcasting scenes from various places in the ruins.

"Ah, Miss Anfa...are you going to the second floor? We'll open the door right away."

As soon as the person in charge of the camp saw Anfa, he immediately put aside his work and came to see him. How could he not respect and fear the dragon-blooded Anfa, the future successor of the Jindeng family? Especially since she has a group of powerful friends who are well known to everyone around her, this makes him respect her even more.

"No need to be polite."

Anfa raised her hand and motioned to her supervisor to report: "We are the seventh batch to enter, and it is already very late... The first few exploration teams should have set off from other forward bases. Do you know what progress they are at now? "

"Yes, Miss, I will answer your question right away." The supervisor immediately turned back and shouted: "Report the progress of other exploration teams!"

Immediately, Ian and others saw that the scene on the screen in the open-air workbench began to change, turning into a first-person live broadcast of the six exploration teams in front.

The camera security of this live broadcast is also on the body. It can be regarded as a restriction for all fourth-level powerhouses to jointly observe the safety of everyone. In a sense, they monitor each other to prevent any key items from being hidden and taken away by one party.

"Yeah." Ian observed carefully. The exploration team before them had already gone to the second level that had not been completely cleaned up. There were still some strange objects and magical beasts hidden in the second floor, looking around, not only to find harvest, but also to adapt to the research on alien species. The battle in the courtyard.

The fastest among them is not the son of Prince Carlos and the eldest grandson of the emperor, Aina Setar... but the team of the Cangtian Royal Court.

"He's actually the fastest."

Anfa also saw the scene on the screen. The young son of Khan, Garshimor, was running deep in the second floor. In the tight passage, the werewolf boy was constantly fighting against the beasts and insects that came out of the rooms and lairs. , and there were many traps, which he crushed through one by one with brute force.

The power of the white wolf cub is extremely strong. The pure shock wave and strong wind are like invisible hands, pulling out all the monsters lurking in the dark, just like using a spoon to dig out the meat in the jar. And he will also burst out with power, use the wind to crush those weak and useless monsters, knock out those with strange distortions and rare ones, and throw them where they are, allowing his teammates and subsequent logistics personnel to recover those strange beasts.

He can separate twelve hands of wind in an instant. In addition to his strength, his skills have also reached the peak.

He enjoys this kind of fighting and killing. Exploring dangerous ruins is as easy as playing for him.

"She's very strong..." The elf girl frowned slightly, which also made Ian raise his eyebrows: "Is there a conflict?"

"No. Yeah, but it doesn't matter." He denied it at first, but then admitted it. Anfa was hesitant, but finally told the truth: "Golan from the Ministry of National Territories and I have been competitors since childhood... and she The ally we found is His Highness Garr."

Holding her hands in front of her chest, the elf girl was a little wary: "Ge Lan is okay, he knows the basics...but this Garan is very strong. He is just playing and has not used all his strength. If they encounter each other deep in the ruins, Ge Lan and If he joins forces, it will be enough to cause us trouble."

"Well...it's indeed very strong." Ian also looked at the screen for a while. This is also the only strong young man among the first six exploration teams who shows off his power unscrupulously and is not afraid of other people's observation. The others try their best to fight with power that is not their own, so as not to be attacked by others in the future. competitor analysis. Even Ian has prepared a rechargeable rifle and a magnetic storm generator to deal with enemies that do not require the use of real power.

The intelligence war had already started in the camp!

Even Ian has to admit that Garr, who is the same age as himself, has reached the second level of high-level strength, and his true combat power may have reached its peak. The fifth level, the top-level inheritance, gives him far more than ordinary abilities. With the second level of combat power, if Ian, who only used one bloodline true form before the creation of the Herald of Steel, might have been hard-pressed to fight him.

But now...Ian has had two big updates.

"Let's go to the second floor."

With a slight smile, Ian did not look at the battle in Garr. He turned his head and walked towards the entrance to the second floor: "They have already started to take action to obtain information about the ruins. We cannot fall behind too much."

The entrance to the second level of the ruins is an 'elevator' located in Jishui Plain. This elevator is similar to the maglev elevator in the World Tree Capital, but it has lost power.

The ruins are still powered, but many of the equipment have lost power, so Canaan Moore's staff built a real elevator here.

However, even though the suspension elevator has lost power, the identification system is still running.

"Start from here."

Anfa said, she was already standing on a counter and pressed her hand on the translucent crystal screen: "We are about to start testing for 'dragon blood' or some kind of 'authority'... According to the year The adventurers who discovered this place for the first time said that they obtained the 'identity cards' that allowed them to enter and exit the passage from the corpse of a pre-era civilization... These identity cards can freely enter and exit the first and second floors, but they cannot enter and exit the third floor. To enter, you need a higher level of 'researcher authority'. Logistics personnel rely on these identity cards to enter and exit the ruins and build camps."

"However, relying on dragon blood, even without identity cards, we can enter and exit the third floor or even deeper... This is why Canaan Moore has summoned elites from all Terra who have dragon blood or are related to dragons to explore The reason for this maze.”

"Eh." Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but be curious: "That Garr from before...does he also have dragon blood?"

"Of course." The elf girl shrugged: "His strong muscles and bones are the masterpieces of dragon blood... Although it is only acquired transformation, for us sublimates, what is the difference between acquired transformation and innate transformation? ?”

A green light lit up on the crystal, the channel was opened, and Anfa passed the test of identity authority.

"indeed."

Nodding slightly, Ian looked at the counter. At this moment, he already understood in his heart that compared to his own dragon blood, the silver chip had the greatest 'authority' to enter and exit this ruins.

The director of the Alien Research Institute, the ‘Forerunner’… his authority is the highest will of this place!

But, is it really necessary to use the silver chip to pass through this first layer of channels now?

Ian looked at Isengard beside him. The blond boy's body was covered with green light, without any black or red... And if he used a silver chip... instead, red lightning would appear immediately!

It seems that the silver chip is not needed for the first layer yet. Thinking of this, the prophet made a decision. He followed Anfa, came to the counter second, and pressed his hand on the crystal.

Then, Ian froze on the spot.

Because, a familiar message was directly transmitted into his mind along the special port of the silver chip.

[Check identity...not registered]

[Dragon blood detected...concentration 31%, purity 98%]

[Marked as a higher intelligence experimental body]

[Grant high-level access rights]

"That's it...that's it!"

Except for Ian, the message that no one could sense came out from the silver chip. The white-haired boy was startled, and then suddenly realized.

He finally figured out why the Alien Research Institute blocked everyone's permissions and only allowed Dragon Blood to enter!

He finally understood why the Xenogeneic Research Institute requires entrants’ dragon blood, strength, specific age and potential!

He also finally understood why the many mazes on the continent of Terra may have special restricted ‘access permissions’ for many bloodlines!

because……

This requirement is for the permissions for the experimental products!

Here’s today’s update! I would like to recommend my friend's new book "The World of Fairyland in My Eyes"

In this era, all realms have collapsed, everything has turned to ashes, and the world has become immortal.

In this world, some people have lions hidden in their eyes, rising like dragons and fishes, hoping to reverse course and become immortals in troubled times.

Some people have living beings hidden in their eyes, and they transform into holy immortal Buddhas, reflecting the heavens.

And Wang Jiuyi woke up in a daze from a strange wasteland. He opened his eyes, and a vast fairyland silently opened in his eyes.

"Since all living beings have become immortals, they might as well enter my immortal realm and prove my immortal way!"

(I thought about using the introduction directly, I can’t think of any words of recommendation)
