Starting From Zero

Chapter 5 New Guardian Beast

The Dragon King said with some regret: "I can understand your intention of wanting the Dragon Clan to act as a guardian beast. This proposal is beneficial to both of us, but...!" The Dragon King paused. "The limitation given to us by the God of Creation is that we do not need to become the guardian beast of any force. We exist as a force of destruction! Only with destruction can there be creation. We dragons are specially born for destruction. Protection and construction are not ours. Work! That’s why I can’t promise you!”

This time I was surprised! The Dragon Clan actually rejected my request, and I didn’t have the ability to refute it! The Creator God mentioned by the Dragon King is the main system. What can I do to the system?

Just when I looked at the Dragon King with my mouth open in surprise, he suddenly said: "Although the Dragon Clan cannot become a guardian beast, it does not mean that the Dragon Clan cannot establish a good relationship with Isengard!"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the rules can be circumvented!" The Dragon King smiled horribly. "The Dragon Clan has two very good races. I can introduce them to you!"

"What is it?"

"One of the small creatures is called Fenglong. The appearance of Fenglong is almost the same as our dragon clan, but their size is only about the same as a pheasant. The length of the body including the tail is no more than 2 meters, of which the tail takes up one meter. many!"

Since it is a creature highly recommended by the Dragon Clan, it must be a good thing. "I wonder what special abilities this creature has? For example, what is its combat power? Such a small creature should use magic to attack, right?"

The Dragon King pointed down and motioned for us to come down and talk, so I followed him to the forest and discussed while watching the installation progress of Essinger's super weapon: "In fact, Fenglong has no attack power at all. Their combat ability is very low." Generally speaking, although Fenglong is very fast, its attack power is so weak that it is of no practical use!"

"No attack power?" Although he was a little surprised, he was not too surprised. There must be a reason why the Dragon King recommended him. "I guess there's something special about them?"

"Of course! Fenglong is the most popular little animal on Dragon Island. Each giant dragon will choose its own phoenix dragon when it is born, and this phoenix dragon will accompany them until either the phoenix dragon or the giant dragon dies!"

"Why do you rely so much on Fenglong?"

"Because Fenglong has a kind of instinct-like magic - a space force field!" The Dragon King snapped his fingers casually, and a small black dot suspended in the air suddenly appeared among us. The small black dot suddenly expanded into a diameter of one The black ball of rice floats there. The black ball suddenly exploded like a soap bubble, and a golden dragon appeared inside. "This is my Phoenix Dragon." Dragon King introduced!

The little guy in front of me really looks like a giant dragon. If the Dragon King hadn't introduced him, I would have thought he was a newly hatched dragon! "Was that his ability just now?"

"This is his ability!" The Dragon King casually picked up a large rock and threw it out. The rock weighed at least a ton, but it was nothing to the giant dragon. After the stone flew out, the Dragon King looked at Fenglong and pointed at the stone and said, "Pick it back!"

Fenglong is only less than two meters long, but the Dragon King actually asked him to pick up stones weighing more than a ton. Is this a joke? But it turns out this was no joke. The little Fenglong suddenly closed its eyes and hugged itself into a ball. The black ball suddenly appeared in front of me. The black ball shrank quickly and then disappeared, and the Fenglong disappeared too! Almost at the same time that the Phoenix Dragon disappeared, a large black hole suddenly appeared in front of the rock that had not yet landed. The stone flew directly into the black hole. After the stone entered the black hole, the black hole quickly shrank and then disappeared. A black spot suddenly appeared between me and the Dragon King, and then the black spot quickly expanded into a black hole. Different from the black hole that swallowed the stone just now, this black hole was placed horizontally, because from the side I could see that the black hole had no thickness at all. It’s not a physical object at all, it’s just a channel interface! With a bang, the boulder that had just been thrown out fell from the black hole and landed between the two of us, which shocked me!

"He can teleport objects over long distances?" I stuttered because I was so excited. "Can...can I teleport people?"

The Dragon King turned around and turned into his human form and walked next to me. "It doesn't make sense what to transport, and the weight of the transported items doesn't matter, but there is one thing. This black channel can only be a circle with a radius of meters, so the items being transported cannot be too large. If you can't pass through this hole, There is no way to teleport!"

I giggled and said: "Enough is enough! Even the giant dragon can teleport within a radius of 3 meters, which is more than enough for players!"

The Dragon King continued: "This is just one of its functions. His spatial force field can also do other things, such as this!" The Dragon King snapped his fingers again, and the little phoenix dragon disappeared again, but this time it was faster. It just disappeared and reappeared. , but there is a lot of gold and silver among us. As soon as I saw these things, the Dragon King snapped his fingers again, and a black hole suddenly appeared on the ground, and all the treasures fell into the black hole. The Dragon King continued: "This is why every dragon has its own phoenix dragon! The phoenix dragon can create a dedicated space to store items, and the dragons like treasures. What is safer than running around with treasures? "

"Then what happens to your treasure if he dies?"

"It will immediately appear around his body. Fenglong's magic space was supported by his own power. If Fenglong dies, the space will disappear, and everything that was put in will immediately appear around him! But Fenglong Their lifespan is similar to that of dragons, and their ability to save lives is very good. By the way, there is an ability that we dragons cannot use, but you can use it!"

"What skill?"

"Protective barrier! Fenglong can set up a strong barrier around himself to resist physical or magical attacks. However, the space is not large. It is no problem to hide a person, but it is a little small for the dragon clan. Besides, his barrier is not very strong. Even if it’s strong, it will still be broken!”

"This is already a good thing! I wonder how big his dedicated space is?"

"I don't know the specific data, but the area is very large, and the space of each phoenix dragon is not the same! Mine is a particularly big one!"

"What will happen if this space is used to hold living things?"

"Under normal circumstances, only inanimate objects can be placed, but if they are creatures with the same bloodline as you, there will be no problem. For example, your magic pets and demon servants will be fine! But don't put your summoned creatures in it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get out if you go in!”

"Finally, I want to ask, are there any restrictions on how Fenglong can open his own dedicated space? For example, can it be opened unlimited times, or can it only be used a few times a day?"

"There is a limit, but it also means there is no limit! Fenglong can use the space force field ability up to 10,000 times a day. Whether it is like when I asked him to jian stone just now or to take the treasure later, it will be counted as a consumption time. Just now, jian stone was used twice. , he took the treasure twice, a total of 4 times! His own entry and exit are not counted, but other things, including opening the defensive barrier, are counted as one use of the ability! Oh, by the way, if the barrier is opened for 2 seconds, it counts as one use. Ability, if you continuously open the defensive wall, the number of times will be used up very quickly! But fortunately, he has 10,000 opportunities every day, so don't use it 'indiscriminately', it will definitely be enough!"

Ha ha! It’s indeed a good thing! After the system canceled the pet space, I was very depressed. Others were fine. I have so many magic pets, so it’s not a pity, but I can’t bring so many creatures to death every day. Later, although there was a space gate, I only had three opportunities a day. It's a little tight, but now it's better. 10,000 times a day is definitely enough. I can use it 100 times a day, which is pretty good! "Then how do I sign an agreement with them about the city's guardian beasts?"

"This is very simple. I will take you to Dragon Island, and then you talk to their leader. Fenglong has a good relationship with the dragon clan, and they are very gentle creatures. It is easy to reach an agreement if I help you intercede!"

"That's great! Hey! Didn't you say there is another kind of creature?"

"Yes!" The Dragon King took back the Phoenix Dragon and said: "There is another creature called Steel Claw. Different from Phoenix Dragon, Steel Claw is very ferocious, aggressive and likes to fight!" (The reference picture is in the album, but that one The tail is slightly different from my settings)

When I heard this, I immediately looked at the Dragon King with bright eyes. "I want him!"

"You didn't even listen to what I said?"

"Since this thing is ferocious, cruel and extremely aggressive, it must have extremely strong fighting power. When have you ever seen a sheep be ferocious and ferocious? The more ferocious it is, the more powerful it is!"

The Dragon King nodded: "You are right about that. In fact, not only are the claws powerful, but the guy is covered in steel armor. His defense is not inferior to that of the dragons, and he has many weapons. The only drawback is that he can't fly! Otherwise, We don’t even know if we are his opponents!”

"Well, how about we go to Dragon Island now? I will attend the Players Alliance gathering in a few days, should I leave now?"

"So urgent?"

"of course!"

"Okay! Let me explain."

"Oh! I also need to explain some work!"

After explaining the matter separately, the Dragon King and I left Essinger together and flew all the way to the southeast. On the way, I asked about the specific abilities of the Steel Claw and got more detailed information from the Dragon King.

Steel-clawed, four-legged carnivorous monster. The length of an adult is generally more than 15 meters, half of which is the length of its tail. At first glance, it looks like a giant dragon but has no wings. There are thick horns on both sides of the steel claw's head, which are very suitable for collisions. In addition, the body is very strong and the strength is amazing. The collision power is very terrifying, almost equivalent to a large battering ram. Generally, few creatures can confront him. Crash. There are 24 tentacles more than ten meters long on his back behind the shoulder blades. These tentacles are wrapped in a solid shell with strong muscles inside. Once these tentacles move, nearby creatures should be very careful. The tail of the steel claw is very similar to the tail of a giant dragon. Not only is it protected by armor, but it also has barbs. I guess it won't be comfortable if it gets hit! Although he is a carnivore, the teeth of Steel Claw are not very prominent. Although his biting ability is equally terrifying, he rarely bites!

In addition to the above-mentioned weapons, there are two most powerful attack weapons for Steel Claw, one is the claw and the other is venom. There is no need to say more about the claws, just listen to his name. This guy's limbs are particularly strong, and his claws are extremely sharp, so attacking the enemy with his claws has become one of his main means of attack. According to the Dragon King, the steel claws have the ability to tear the scales of dragons, which shows how powerful his claws are. As for the venom, it is rarely used as a means of self-defense. When life is threatened, the steel claws will spray a large amount of venom to attack the enemy. These venoms are a mixture of highly lethal neurotoxins and corrosive acids. The poisonous liquid begins to evaporate immediately after it is sprayed out. Those who inhale the poisonous gas will gradually begin to become paralyzed until they are completely dead. Those who are stuck will be even worse, and they will die wherever they touch! However, the spray position of the steel claw is rather strange. The venom is actually sprayed from the tip of the tentacle on the back. Because the tentacles are very flexible, it is very difficult to avoid the venom!

I also got good information from the Dragon King, that is, the ground speed of the steel claw is much faster than that of the unicorn, making it very suitable for riding beasts. Think about it, when a guild goes out, the cavalry mounts may be tall, short, fat or thin. What would that be like? There is one guild guardian beast for each person. With him, our guild can even standardize its mounts! In the end, the Dragon King actually told me that Steel Claw is actually a kind of amphibian. Although they can live without going into the water, they are real amphibians. Steel Claw has two sets of respirators. In addition to lungs, I thought he also had fully developed gills! As for the tentacles on its back and the long tail behind it, in addition to being used for attacks, they are also good underwater propellers. The steel claws are faster underwater than on land! If Steel Claw can become a guardian beast, our guild's mount will be completely solved!

Dragon Island is not very far from the mainland. The Dragon King took me to the vicinity of Dragon Island very quickly. However, no matter how I looked around, I couldn't see the vast ocean and I couldn't see the island. It is said that Dragon Island should be very large! Just as I was thinking about it, the Dragon King suddenly took me down and started to descend. After approaching the sea surface, the Dragon King said to me: "Hold your breath!"

"ah?"

Before I knew what he meant, the Dragon King took me and plunged into the sea. We only stayed underwater for less than 10 seconds before rushing out of the sea again. I was about to ask the Dragon King why he was flying so well and suddenly rushed into the water, but I was suddenly shocked by the sight in front of me! A huge island appeared less than a kilometer in front of us. It was so beautiful that it was simply not a place humans could imagine!

This is incredible! We only stayed underwater for less than 10 seconds just now, and during this time we moved at most 30 meters. But before entering the water, the surroundings were clearly vast and nothing could be seen. There was no reason for an island to appear in the sky as soon as it emerged from the water! If such a big island should have been seen so close, how could it be discovered suddenly?

Probably knowing that I would be confused, the Dragon King said: "Don't be surprised, this is Dragon Island's way of self-protection. The one just now is called overlapping space. Our island and the ocean you just saw are one place, two spaces. They overlap each other in the same position but do not interfere with each other. If we had not entered the water just now, we would have flown over as if there was nothing, but after entering the water, we passed through the barrier and appeared here! It is very complicated to say, but it is just that thing anyway!"

"It's not very complicated. I roughly understand it! But can you make this thing? I want one too!" It would be great if Essinger also made such a thing. If others can't come in, we can attack others. What a good thing!

The Dragon King destroyed my dream: "This was set up by the God of Creation. It was not made by any instrument. We ourselves don't know how to make it!"

faint! Hope broken! But fortunately, we can see the two guardian beasts of our dreams right away, so I’m not sad either!

The Dragon King took me to fly over the Huanxing Mountain by the sea at low altitude. There was a whole other world inside the island. At the end of a large grassland are continuous mountain peaks and forests, and a small river flows through the center of the island. The Dragon Clan really knows how to find a place!

"It's right in front!" The Dragon King took me to land at the edge of the forest. As soon as he landed, he immediately turned into a human form. "Follow me, I'll take you to see the leader of Fenglong first. The Steel Claw side might be more troublesome, so we'd better deal with it later!"

Although this forest is not as big as the Dark Forest, it covers a large area. If the Dragon King hadn't led me, I would have really lost my way! Suddenly the system announcement rang while walking through the forest. I immediately stopped and listened to the announcement.

"Attention all players, the system announcement is now playing! It is now 9:00 a.m. Beijing time. The system will be upgraded at 12:00 noon today. It will take about minutes. Players do not need to go offline during the upgrade, but please do not go offline during this period. Time goes online and offline frequently.

The hunger diet system has successfully completed testing. After this upgrade, all players and NPCs will have a hunger index and thirst index. The index status is 100% complete. Players' two indexes will decrease over time in the game. When they decrease Abnormal reactions will occur when reaching a certain value! When the index is below 50%, a sense of hunger and thirst will occur. When the index drops below 30%, attributes such as strength, agility, and attention will decrease. When the index is below 15%, the human body will experience a severe hunger and thirst reaction, and various attributes 'Sex' drops significantly, the character dies when it reaches 0%, and the hunger and thirst index increases to 30% after resurrection. Players can restore their index by eating and drinking, and those who are out for a long time can pick edible wild fruits or kill monsters to satisfy their hunger. Special warning: Players from any country are absolutely prohibited from eating player corpses or humanoid NPC corpses, otherwise they will be deemed to have engaged in improper behavior against the corpse and will be permanently banned! Players need to pay attention to the fact that the thirst index usually decreases faster than the hunger index. A hot environment will accelerate the decrease of the thirst index, talking will also accelerate the decrease of the thirst index, and physical movement will accelerate the decrease of both indexes at the same time!

Players with pets are reminded to pay attention. Your familiars, demon servants, and summoned creatures all need food. Please pay attention to these indicators from time to time. The loyalty of creatures that are hungry for a long time will decrease. Players whose pet loyalty is less than 30 must be aware that if such pets are carnivorous, they may attack their owners if they are overly hungry. Special reminder: It is reasonable for pets to eat player corpses and is not classified as illegal behavior.

Players who have built their own cities should note that NPCs in the player's city need to set eating places and times. The city leader is responsible for guiding the construction of facilities such as canteens or restaurants, and then setting the NPCs' eating times and food quality in these facilities. Good dietary conditions can allow urban NPCs to show extremely long-term work efficiency. NPCs who have been deprived of food and clothing for a long time may riot.

NPC monsters in the wild are especially dangerous when hungry and everyone needs to be careful.

Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please use the system help! Announcement completed! "

"Zero" is becoming more and more realistic. In the past, the diet system was just to explain the slanderous people, but now it has become a situation where people will die if they don't eat! Fortunately, the upgrade only started at 12 o'clock. I have to finish the things here quickly and go back to build the NPC cafeteria. It's no joke to starve those guys into a collective riot. I don't have that many troops to suppress it! Besides, I wonder if the guards will riot if they get hungry? However, our Essinger guards are basically undead. They don’t seem to need to eat, but I don’t know if those angels can withstand it! By the way, the Dragon Clan is still in Essinger! These guys are so hungry! Why do I feel like I'm sitting on a time bomb?
