Chapter 217 All Things Come Alive, the Gift of the Sun
Crack~
Wayne's leg muscles moved slightly, and the Qi burst out, instantly breaking the stone that engulfed his lower body and scattering it all over the ground.
However, this man-eating stone did not "die" because of this, it was just broken. In the young man's somewhat shocked eyes, those small stones that were broken all over the ground actually grew sharp teeth and fangs and started to bite each other.
"What is this place?"
Seeing the scene of a group of stones biting each other, Wayne had to admit that he was a little arrogant before, and actually told Lao Long that he had experienced enough.
Now it seems that he really has no knowledge, and he really has never seen such a stone.
"What is this again?"
The strange thing that he had never seen before made the young man curious and tempted. He stretched out his finger and clicked it one after another. Those small stones that were devouring each other were crushed into powder in an instant under the pressure of the Qi, and a thin layer was spread all over.
Wayne reached out, picked up a handful of powder, and ground it carefully. From the visual and tactile point of view, these were rock fragments, but he could feel that there was a very strong and greedy will and an indescribable power in these stone powders.
Crack~ Crack~
Even though they had all turned into powder, these stone powders were still merging with each other, or devouring each other, and then turning into larger stones.
In the numbing chewing and breaking sounds. Wayne frowned and threw the stone in his hand that had been restored to a piece, because it began to gnaw his fingers again.
The young man didn't say anything else, just looked around, and then took a tentative step forward. There was nothing abnormal. Such abnormal stones seemed to be only a minority here.
However, just after walking two steps, the young man paused, because accompanied by a gentle breeze, the snow-white floating fluff shaped like dandelions floated towards him. Under the shining of the golden sunlight, this was a very beautiful scene.
However, the young man, who had just experienced it, dared not ignore this piece of insignificant fluff. He stretched out his hand and clapped it, and a gust of palm wind whistled, sweeping away the fluff.
But the young man was shocked that this palm wind, which could temporarily repel a group of golden knights, did not clear the fluff. Many smaller fluffs directly passed through the wind wall and continued to float towards him.
Quack~
Wayne did not step back, but he did not hesitate. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a black frog lying on a vine not far away and threw it into the air. Of course, he did not make any contact with it.
But this tree frog, which was not even the size of a palm and looked insignificant, had the most intense confrontation the moment it came into contact with the fluff floating in the air.
The first floating fluff to come into contact with the black frog instantly pierced the black frog's skin, and the bright red color spread along the contact point to the whole plant. The rest of the snow-white fluff floating in the air, like sharks that smelled blood, immediately surrounded it, and a snow-white fluff ball appeared in the air and fell to the ground.
At the moment it fell to the ground, the snow-white color of the fluff ball disappeared, and it turned into a bloody color. The figure of the black frog could no longer be seen, as if it had been sucked dry by the floating fluff.
Gu~Gu——
Just when Wayne thought that the tree frog he threw down was just an ordinary creature and nothing special, a thunderous explosion sounded in the flat ground, and the ground shook.
The blood-red fluff ball exploded, and a giant frog with dragon scales on its body jumped out of it. The bright red roots and vines were entangled in its body in pieces, but it still had tenacious vitality, growing into its flesh and blood, and taking root and sprouting on its body.
Gu~Gu——
It is obvious that in this competition of vitality, this group of seeds that have taken root and sprouted have lost. Although it is still alive now, it is gradually withering.
However, this is not what Wayne should care about now, because this dragon blood toad, which has manifested its true form, is staring at him covetously.
Obviously, this big toad knew who caused the sudden disaster. The originally round big eyeballs gradually turned into dragon-like vertical pupils. A faint dragon aura, along with the two sharp short and thick horns gradually growing on its forehead, spread out.
"..."
Wayne now knew why the enrollment rate of the Dragon Academy was so low. He didn't know what the admission assessment standards of the other two dragon academies were, but the admission assessment requirements of the Dragon Heart Academy were that surviving in such a ghost place for more than one day was hellish.
He hadn't taken two steps yet, and he encountered so many dangers. A seemingly ordinary tree frog had such a terrible appearance. He didn't think this was a danger that a group of children who had not yet reached adulthood could deal with.
Gu~Gu——
Facing this angry dragon frog, Wayne chose to retreat. After all, this frog did not offend him. Instead, he caused the frog to suffer an unprovoked disaster. He should not have taken action in terms of emotion and reason.
Although this jungle is very strange, even a flower or a grain of sand is worthy of vigilance, for the son of hell who has already been on guard, the strangeness of this jungle only adds experience to him, allowing him to see the vastness of the world and the narrowness of his own cognition.
After all, this is just a test site set up for students, so although there are dangers everywhere, the degree of danger is limited and has not reached the point where people can't survive at all.
There is nothing here that can threaten his life. With a high degree of vigilance, Wayne thought so after walking around for half a day.
The vines that can parasitize and control the activities of organisms by splitting off the sub-strains, the explosive trees whose fruits are like bombs and can automatically track and search for enemies, and the thorn grass that can merge with organisms to form a kind of wonderful symbiotic relationship... Whether it is plants or animals here, Wayne has opened his eyes and felt the wonder of the world. There are so many magical animals and dangerous carnivorous plants.
Wayne observed and examined this secret jungle with a curious mentality, and this mentality ended when the young man walked out of the jungle and entered a relatively flat small plain.
Because he saw a familiar race on this plain, but this race that made many adventurers feel familiar in the wilderness jungle was completely changed into another appearance in the demiplane.
If Wayne had not been knowledgeable and had seen the advanced evolutionary form of this species, he might not have dared to confirm it, because it was a tribe of dog-headed people.
Of course, given the appearance of the members and leaders of this tribe, calling them dog-headed people is not only impolite, but also inaccurate. Such misleading is enough to kill the lives of ignorant people.
In fact, the name of dog-headed people is also inaccurate, because the dog-headed people in the secular cognition are more like lizards walking upright, and they have thick skin.
A few dog-headed people will grow some very shallow scales on their foreheads and chests, which will give them a higher status in the clan tribe.
Because the dog-headed people believe that the scales are a symbol of their dragon veins. Of course, this is true. Dog-headed people are indeed dragon vein creatures, but the dragon veins contained in their blood are pitifully few.
There are only one dog-headed person who can truly awaken the dragon vein, but as long as they can awaken, they can at least become the head of the tribe or the tribal priest.
Once a dragon vein dog-headed man is born, the tribe it is in can expand in a very short time, and it is easy to have more than 100 members, even more than 1,000.
Not many adventurers dare to provoke a dog-headed man tribe of this size. It must be an adventure team that is well-known in the city. Only after making sufficient preparations can they go to destroy it.
Wayne has seen a dog-headed man tribe with a scale of 100,000. This scale can no longer be called a tribe, but a dog-headed man country. The life form of the dog-headed man king is completely separated from the dog-headed man species.
Its body is tall and strong, covered with bright red dragon scales, and its thick and long tail contains amazing power. Lying on the ground, it is like a terrain dragon... This is the high-level form of the dog-headed man after multiple consecutive evolutions, the dragon man.
This is a very rare creature in the material world, because the dog-headed man wants to evolve into a dragon man, which is not only related to his own efforts and will.
After all, the dragon veins that the dog-headed man has, even if they are all stimulated, are just like that. They still need extra help, that is, to be able to bathe in the blood of a real dragon like the heroes in the legend, and not be corroded by the dragon blood, withstand the toxicity of the dragon blood, and absorb the inheritance in the dragon blood, so that they can complete the transformation.
This is a case that is unique among billions. Even Wayne, who boasted about his rich experience in front of an old dragon, has only seen this one case.
But now, Wayne saw a tribe of dragon people, a small tribe of less than a hundred people, composed of dragon people with different scales.
When Wayne discovered this tribe of dragon people, this group of dragon people also discovered Wayne. Their alertness and perception ability were terrifyingly high, and they reacted to the slightest disturbance.
"Tsk."
Wayne stopped his steps that were moved by curiosity and observed the reactions of these dragon people. It was the first time he saw such a large number of dragon people.
"Human?"
A tall dragon man covered with bright golden scales walked out. His body was obviously larger than other dragon men. What caught Wayne's attention was that there was a pair of wide dragon wings behind him, which were very powerful and strong even when they were folded.
Winged dragon man?
This was a form he had never seen before. It was incredible.
"Are you a teacher at the academy?"
The dragon men's eyes were alert, but also full of desire.
"Yes."
Wayne's expression moved. He didn't expect that this identity could be useful here.
"Are you interested in making a deal with us? We may have unexpected gains from each other."
"What do you want?"
"Weapons, armor, healing potions, no matter how much you have, we want as much as you have."
The leading golden dragon man had a deep voice, which contained a kind of majesty.
"Then what are you going to exchange with me?"
"Of course, resources that are not available outside. Even if you don't need them, you can sell them and get at least ten times the profit."
"Then come and take a look."
Although he didn't care much, just to satisfy his curiosity, Wayne was willing to communicate with this group of dragon people. As for the weapons and armor they needed, he did collect a lot. After all, he was also a person who formed a knight group.
"We won't let you down."
The golden dragon man, whose head looked no different from a dragon, showed his fangs. Although it looked scary, Wayne knew that this was the appearance of this kind of creature when he was in a good mood.
"What is this?"
Among the trading items taken out by the dragons, Wayne locked his eyes on a crystal at a glance. It was an earthy yellow crystal core the size of a fist. In the crystal core, a strand of gold was particularly conspicuous. It was brighter than the sun. The light also needs a bright color.
"This is a gift from the sun!"
The golden dragon man replied.
"The gift of the sun?"
Wayne couldn't understand.
"Weak creatures that come in from the outside will be qualified to survive here as long as they eat this crystal core and survive."
The Golden Dragon Man explained further.
"If you don't die? You can live."
Wayne still couldn't understand, because what the golden dragon man in front of him said was beyond his understanding and cognition.
This dragon leader, who has wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans, obviously understands this.
So, he waved his hand gently, and soon the dragon men drove over a group of kobolds that even ordinary adventurers could recognize.
This group of kobolds have all awakened their dragon veins. If they are placed in the wilderness outside, they can become the leaders of thousands of kobolds without too much effort.
But here, this group of dragon-veined kobolds dodge their eyes and shrink back, like a group of livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
This is indeed the case. This group of dragon people do not regard the kobolds as their kind at all, and drive them here just to display their goods to outsiders.
"Swallow it!"
The golden dragon man grabbed the crystal core containing a ray of gold, threw it to a kobold, and ordered in an indifferent tone.
The kobold who got the crystal core looked at the crystal core in his hand, which was called the gift of the sun. His eyes were full of fear of death, but also with a deep desire. Then he opened his mouth as wide as possible and swallowed the crystal core. He swallowed it in one gulp.
Bang ~
The moment the kobold swallowed the crystal core, its body, which looked pitiful compared to the three- to five-meter-tall body of the dragon, instantly expanded to a huge size. The next moment, it was like a blown balloon. It exploded and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
"You, pick it up and swallow it!"
The golden dragon man's face was expressionless, as if he was accustomed to this scene. He just stretched out his hand and continued to point to the next kobold. The selected kobold walked into the remains of his companions with a numb expression and picked up the crystal core...
