Chapter 153: Symbol of Harvest
"Fengshan Dragon, the soul beast sleeping in the center of the Death Desert."
After a moment of silence, Nightingale slowly spoke, "I have only seen it in the collection of books in Wuhun Palace. Legend has it that it wakes up once every five years, and every time it wakes up it will be accompanied by a sandstorm that blocks the sky and the sun. I haven't seen it before." I thought it was now.”
"It wakes up every five years. Do you know it will wake up?" Gu You asked in surprise.
Nightingale nodded, and now Gu You was even more surprised.
"You didn't hunt it? This is a precious hundred thousand year soul beast!"
Don't talk about animal protectionism, there is no such thing in Douluo Continent. A clear hundred thousand year old soul beast, even if the previous Popes of Wuhun Palace could resist it, Bibi Dong could not resist the thought of hunting it.
Facing the surprised Gu You, Nightingale glanced at him, "It's useless, no one can kill Fengshan Dragon."
"Can't be killed?"
Tang San felt very strange after hearing this. There was no unkillable life in the world. Physical damage, poison, disease, even time life. If it can't be killed, it's just because we haven't found the right way.
"Yes." Nightingale looked at Tang San and said, "No one can kill Fengshan Dragon."
"According to the records of Wuhun Palace, in the past, more than a dozen titled Douluo, dozens of Soul Douluo and Soul Saints united to prepare to hunt down this hundred thousand year old soul beast that appeared steadily."
"After paying a heavy price, Fengshan Dragon was indeed killed."
"However, no soul rings or soul bones appeared on its body."
"All that's left is a huge corpse."
Hearing this, Gu You and Tang San both widened their eyes. Tang San didn't need to say more. After he came to Douluo Continent, the truth he learned was that all spirit beasts would produce spirit rings.
Gu You was even more surprised. He had heard that during the Douluo period, even creatures from other planets and worlds would produce soul rings after they died.
Gu You even suspected that if the chrysanthemum pig of Yin Yang Mian came to Douluo Continent and was killed, a soul ring would probably come out.
There can be soul beasts that don't produce soul rings. Gu You doesn't know why. It's impossible that this thing is not a soul beast at all, but something else.
"Because Fengshan Dragon is not a soul beast at all."
Gu You, who was originally sitting paralyzed, suddenly sat up straight, his face directly close to Nightingale, and asked word for word: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you just said clearly. What are you talking about?"
Nightingale shook her head. She knew very well how much impact this shocking fact would have on a researcher like Gu You. However, with Gu You's curiosity, he would know about it sooner or later, so it didn't hurt to tell him now.
"I said, Fengshan Dragon is not a soul beast."
‘It’s over, the world is changing too fast, I can’t board the ship to the new world. ’
‘How is this possible? Why can’t Fengshan Dragon produce a soul ring? This makes no sense. ’
Gu You quickly asked: "What about Fengshanlong's body? Has it been dissected?"
"Of course." Nightingale nodded affirmatively, "This matter was a big deal at first, and almost all the big forces were involved. Naturally, our Spirit Hall is the same."
"I remember that the record of Fengshanosaurus said that 'the rocks outside are not its skin, its real skin is blue'."
"The inside is the same as a normal soul beast. Judging from the residue in the body, the main food is sand fish."
"Sharks? There are sharks in the big sand sea?" Tang San was shocked.
"It's not the shark you think of, it's the sand of the sand." Gu You explained, "A kind of soul beast that can swim like a fish in the sand. It usually lasts from ten to a hundred years. There are many in the big sand sea. The main food source for soul beasts.”
"I heard that liver is delicious, but it's a pity that I didn't buy it. Looking back now, it may be that the locals knew that the Fengshan dragon was coming out, so they didn't go deep into the big sand sea to hunt."
Tang San nodded to express his understanding, and Gu You signaled Nightingale to continue.
"At that time, there was a scholar in the Wuhun Palace whose Wuhun was the Wentian Fragmentary Scroll. As long as he paid a price, he could learn everything from it."
"It's only thanks to him that we know why Fengshanlong causes sandstorms on a regular basis."
"Why?" x2
Nightingale spoke slowly, with a hint of subtlety in her tone: "Because it needs to remove the rocks on its body, otherwise it will feel uncomfortable."
"..." This reason was so real that it left Gu You and Tang San speechless.
"People here call this the Great Desert Banquet or the harvest after the disaster. Every time the Fengshan Dragon appears, it will trigger a sandstorm, but after the sandstorm, various strange metals or crystals will be left behind, which are very valuable."
"So Fengshanlong is also known as the "moving vein" or "a symbol of disaster and harvest."
Tang San's eyes lit up when he heard that there was rare metal. Noticing that Tang San was shaking with excitement, Gu You quickly comforted him: "Calm down, calm down. Come on, take a deep breath, inhale~, exhale~, inhale~, exhale~."
After calming down, Tang San asked: "Wait a minute, wasn't Fengshan Dragon killed? So this one is just its child?"
"No, this one is the Fengshan Dragon."
"What do you mean?" Gu You frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
"One month later, the huge body of Fengshan dragon suddenly turned into sand and collapsed. Another month later, another Fengshan dragon appeared again and caused a sandstorm."
"The soul master whose martial spirit is Wentian Zhanjuan asked this question to Tianzhanjuan, and got only one sentence in reply."
"Fengshan Dragon is natural."
Gu You suddenly realized, "So that's why it doesn't have soul rings and soul bones, and it reappears quickly after death."
Tang San and Nightingale looked at Gu You in surprise.
Why, you analyzed the truth based on this sentence without beginning or end? You are also a human being (one of them is half human and half beast), why do you stand out so much?
Of course, an ancient person and a local person would not be able to get any useful information from this sentence, but Gu You is a modern person and a two-dimensional person, and he understood the essence of Fengshan Dragon in an instant.
To be on the safe side, Gu You asked, "What else did the soul master ask?"
"No, after getting these words, the soul master died suddenly, and his immediate family members all died suddenly at the same time."
Okay, this is the real deal.
Gu You sat up straight and collapsed to the ground. He leaned on the edge of the pit and said slowly: "Fengshan Dragon is natural, so it will not produce soul bones and soul rings."
This kind of thing couldn't be clearer in ancient times. No one can kill nature. Since it can't be killed, of course there will be no soul rings and soul bones.
"Fengshan Dragon, every time it appears, it is accompanied by a sandstorm. In other words, it symbolizes a sandstorm."
"Oh, of course we can't kill it. People can only deal with natural phenomena, so how can we eliminate them?"
Tang San and Nightingale just listened to Gu You talking to himself. They knew every word, but they couldn't understand them all together.
Gu You didn't intend to let them understand. This was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words.
It's impossible to teach them what natural phenomena are here, and it's not like getting closer to science.
After a long time, there was no more vibration from outside, and the three people emerged from the ground.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, dyeing the desert white. Gu You looked around and found that the surrounding landforms had been completely changed, and there were no signs of where he came from.
"Xiaoyou, put this on."
Tang San handed Gu You a coat. The desert at night was completely different from that during the day. The sudden drop in temperature and the howling wind could easily make people catch a cold.
"Yes." Gu You put on his coat and briefly checked the direction, "Xiaosan, let's go mining."
"Okay!" Tang San silently took out the shovel from the soul guide, expecting to find some strange metal ore.
Nightingale quietly rolled her eyes, not understanding why these two were so excited. But he couldn't leave alone, so he had to follow the two of them dejectedly.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"
Looking at the gleaming ore on the ground illuminated by the moonlight, Tang San's eyes sparkled.
Gu You was very calm and calmly took out the unused items from the soul tool that could be thrown away, leaving space for the ore.
"I want the lapis lazuli, I don't want the copper ore, I don't want the iron ore. Is this the crystal of the earth? Take it away."
He turned to look at Tang San who was caressing the ore with an expression of obsession, and murmured: "Pyrosaurus stone, it is said that it can only be produced when it is soaked with dragon energy. I didn't expect that Tang San actually has it." You can get such a big piece of Huilong stone in one day.”
Gu You covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly at him, "Does Tang San have this kind of character? In the original work, the profiteer Ban Jin is not like this, right?" ’
Anyway, no matter what, Gu You would never admit that he was the one who turned Tang San into this.
Originally, Tang San just wanted to build the Tang Sect's hidden weapon in Douluo Continent, and he didn't use much metal.
Now being sidelined by Guyou, the amount of metal needed to make soul-guided hidden weapons is not a small amount.
When he visited the Dragon Snake family, Gu You was allowed to view the book collection, and Tang San received a small amount of precious metals as a gift.
Back in Notting City, Tang San discovered during experiments that these metals have stronger soul power transmission capabilities and are more suitable for making soul guidance devices. So now Tang San's demand for these precious metals has greatly increased.
"Wake up, mistress, you're drooling. Use fireflies to blast the rocks on the surface of these ores. We only want the minerals."
"Yes, business is important." After waking up, Tang San wiped the corner of his mouth that was actually not drooling, and called out the Blue Silver Grass that had changed again.
The only purple soul ring lit up, and a little white light in the middle of the blue silver grass quickly filled the entire blue silver grass.
Tang San waved his hand, and all the white light of the Blue Silver Grass exploded, turning into exactly the same yellow fireflies seen around the fireflies and sunflowers during the day.
Tang San pushed his hand against the ore on the ground, and the fireflies hit the ore like raindrops. The explosion exploded all the rocks on the surface of the ore, leaving only the core minerals.
Then the Blue Silver Grass was like a mechanical arm, rolling up the ores on the ground and throwing them at the feet of Gu You or Tang San.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Gu You nodded with satisfaction.
Just as Gu Yu guessed, the real ability of Firefly Sunflower is not the firefly on the surface, but the transformation of life force.
You know, not all plants are qualified to survive in the desert environment. Especially flowers like sunflowers are more difficult to survive in strong winds and occasional sandstorms.
Therefore, considering the two points confirmed by Guyou: "The soul skills of soul masters will be affected by psychological suggestions" and "the soul skills provided by soul beasts must be mastered skills or abilities".
In addition to the characteristics of the sunflower itself, there are also the soul skills that soul masters in the past generations obtained from the firefly sunflower according to records.
Gu You believed that the spirit ring of Firefly Sunflower could transform the vitality of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass into energy with external manifestations of light and fire attributes.
"Photosynthesis." Gu You suddenly spoke. "Xiao San, the name of your third soul skill is photosynthesis."
Tang San was stunned, and replied with a smile: "Okay."
"Oh, little brother, are you okay!"
A call came from behind, and the two turned their heads to see a group of people holding torches rushing over, led by the strong man who had met twice. Nightingale, who was supposed to be behind the two, was nowhere to be found.
"Are you two okay?" The strong man looked up and down at Gu You and Tang San, and was completely relieved after confirming that they had no wounds.
"You set out before dawn, and I wanted to remind you that it's better not to go soul hunting now. Fortunately, you are okay."
"Brother, you are so mysterious, you are not talking about the mountain dragon, are you?"
The strong man looked at Gu You in surprise, "So you know it. How is it, isn't it spectacular?"
Gu You and Tang San looked at each other, the oppressive "mountain range", the sandstorm covering the sky, and the pressure from the mountain dragon were indeed "spectacular".
The strong man patted Gu You and Tang San on the shoulders, "Sorry, I must have scared you this time. It's my fault for keeping you in suspense. I apologize to you."
"If you are still willing to come to the Death Desert, come to the westernmost Rocklak City to find me, and I will apologize to you."
"Rocklak City? Is it the Rocklak known as the desert capital?"
"Yes." The strong man nodded, "Every time the peak dragon harvest season comes, Rocklak is the busiest time. At that time, countless strong men will be proud to knock rocks off the peak dragon, and the strongest brave king will be determined based on the number of rocks collected."
"I hope that one day in the future, you two can also get the title of "Rocklak's Brave"."
Gu You and Tang San looked at each other, and a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes. It is such a "romantic" thing to fight against the peak dragon that is like a natural disaster with human power.
Gu You nodded solemnly. The strong man smiled happily and took out two pieces of debris from his arms.
"This is the wrist armor of the Fengshan Dragon." The strong man solemnly placed the two pieces of fragments in the palms of the two people.
"My ancestor once won the title of the King of Brave, but we, the younger generation, are incompetent and cannot reproduce his honor."
"My children have left here to live in a better place, and it is unknown whether they will come back in the future. It is very precious that you two can still have the courage to face it."
"I am looking forward to the day when you get the title of "Loklak Brave" in the future."
The Death Desert is over, and you don't have to go in if you say you don't want to go in. This is called anti-routine (laughs). I don't know if you have any opinions on the ancient dragon I arranged. Although the ancient dragon does not provide soul rings and soul bones, it has other great functions. Everyone can look forward to it. Please recommend and monthly votes~~~
