Resurrection II. Although it sounds very much like the fantasy settings that even science fiction novels dare not easily use in many online novels that Ian has read in his previous life, because Terra really has swords, magic and ether, it is also Not particularly exaggerated.

Especially things like life-extending magic plants and life-extending wonders are actually not that complicated.

The first time Ian met Isengard and his group was because of a life-extending magic plant.

This kind of magic plant generally relies on two methods to extend life. The first is to add a large amount of life essence, which is equivalent to adding an upper limit to a person's health bar. The life span is naturally extended, but it cannot cure various hidden injuries and losses, so the older you get, the worse the effect. .

The second is to repair various wounds and omissions. In this case, it will be miraculous for those who have suffered injuries and shortened their lifespan, but some noble people who take good care of themselves will have no effect after taking it.

Most of these two kinds of life-extending magic plants have thresholds. If you eat too much, they will have no effect, because there are limits to both dark damage and the upper limit of the blood bar.

However, high-level life-extending wonders are different. Especially the fifth-level wonder item ‘The Source of Dragon Blood’ that Anfa said.

As the highest level, and indeed a rare item that has extended the life of several fifth-level people in history, the source of dragon blood comes from the huge vitality left behind by the death of the real dragon.

It sounds a little strange - the real dragon is dead, how can it still have vitality left?

But this involves the special nature of the life of a real dragon.

As Ian knows, the true dragon is actually an artificial race with a creator and a lifespan. It itself has incredible vitality. If there are no restrictions on its use, it is not uncommon for it to have eternal life, let alone five hundred years.

But once it reaches the limit of its useful life, that is, five hundred years, even if the real dragon itself is still physically healthy, he will still 'die'.

And in this way, the bodies of the real dragons that died due to their expiration date will accumulate a large amount of extremely pure life essence that can be reused by any life... And this essence will rely on the dragon's blood. ', condensed into the 'source of dragon blood' that can also be used by fifth-level powerhouses.

The Ascendant system in the world of Terra actually does not increase life span.

The magic potion will indeed provide the sublimated person with extraordinary divine power and extra life essence. The advancement of the sublimated person can also improve his or her life essence to a certain extent - if it is an ordinary person, it is only what the second-level sublimated person has. The vitality is enough for them to live for two to three hundred years, let alone the third energy level, which can easily live for one or two thousand years.

But in addition to improving the essence of life, sublimators also reduce the loss of life essence.

The brand-new sublimation organ and the loss of various life and spiritual energy make the sublimator like an oversized high-consumption electrical appliance. Even if it comes with a more powerful battery and charger, the standby time is still due to the increased energy consumption. Still about the same as ordinary people.

Even the fifth energy level has not gotten out of this predicament.

The third energy level is actually the limit of "freedom". Starting from the fourth energy level sublimator, as long as any sublimator starts fighting with all his strength, it will cause the loss of his own lifespan.

The etheric true body constructed from the original ether, every time it is dispatched, it means that the life of the high-energy sublimated person will be shortened by at least ten years.

Of course, the theoretical lifespan of a fourth-level ascendant can reach thousands of years, but in a world like Terra, how could it be possible not to fight? Sublimated ones cannot even reduce the consumption of their own sublimated organs, and need to remain ready for war at all times, which makes their lives burn like fire and reach their end quickly.

The fifth energy level is even more terrifying. Even if they don't fight, they will consume their lifespan crazily... Just like a torch, every fifth energy level sublimator is an artificial sun, releasing enough energy to illuminate the world. At the same time, the light is constantly burning the self and soul.

"After all, the fifth-level powerhouses are at least at the Space Battleship level, but the essence of life is still an existence sublimated from 'human beings'... The power is higher than the essence, just like using a tempered human body to If you activate power armor or even a tank battleship, your lifespan will definitely be shortened."

"But true dragons are different - true dragons have been designed according to the level of super life in the universe from the beginning. Their theoretical lifespan is infinite, and the life source contained in their bodies is pure and majestic, even at the fifth energy level. The extreme design can also be recharged, allowing them to live a second time.”

"But just like a worn out battery, it cannot return to its original state even if it is fully charged again. A degraded battery cannot support the second or even third charge... This is why the fifth energy level is sublimated There is no reason why the person has lived many lives with the help of life-extending wonders many times.”

At this moment, Ian already understood why all countries were willing to play the ruins exploration game with Canaan Moore.

The source of dragon blood, a treasure of this level, can indeed allow all forces to suppress other thoughts and quietly take it out before discussing the distribution issue.

In the Terra Continent, the third level is a high-level combat force that can often appear, the fourth level rarely takes action, and the fifth level spends most of its time 'suppressing the situation', leaving all its strength to deal with those 'Disaster of the Apocalypse' - Therefore, the fifth-level powerhouses will basically not express any opinions on the political structure of the mainland, nor will they care about ruins and labyrinths. These things do not mean much to them.

Only the source of dragon blood can make these human gods look at it a little...but not to the point where they have to snatch it, because in the final analysis, it just allows them to live for a while and 'recharge'.

If the vitality that we have now is wasted for the purpose of recharging, and we fail to grab it in the end, it will be a huge disaster for our country.

"No wonder."

Ian whispered: "This will explain it."

At this time, he stretched out his hand and looked at the 'transmitter' in his hand.

This small ultra-rare material transmitter, worth tens of thousands of thalers, is not just a 'bribe' for Ian, it is also an extremely sophisticated ether signaling device that can work in any environment.

Ian just scanned it through the precognitive vision and silver chip, and found that the transmitter should be some kind of 'remote control'. When activated in a specific area at a specific time, it will release an extremely concealed ether wave. This wave will Start some instruments with specific receiving structures without any delay or loss.

If it were an ordinary person, there would definitely be no way to match the transmitter with the receiving instrument, but Ian is not an ordinary person. As long as he sees it, he can know which instruments can be activated by the transmitter in his hand, and then analyze Yafoda Speaker's plan.

Ian didn't think that Speaker Yafoda would give him such a critical and dangerous task, and he might not even be the only one holding the transmitter, but he still wanted to find out the other party's real purpose.

The boy's instinct told him that Speaker Yapheta definitely had a big plan. Now that the fifth-level powerhouse will not take action at will, as the fourth-level peak sublimator of Canaan Moore, he definitely intends to use the existence of the source of dragon blood to do something.

And this matter must be related to the internal struggle to maintain the party and the pillar parties.

——No matter where you go, you can't avoid the struggle between people. Ian was not surprised when he thought of it this way.

In any case, all this will have to wait until we enter the ruins.

Soon, as Master Glawei also arrived in the airship, the Yinmen family's airship slowly took off.

"Speak of it."

Feeling the slight vibration of the airship taking off, Isengard seemed to have thought of something: "Ian, you seem to encounter accidents every time you go out in any vehicle."

"The exploration ship that was exploring the South China Sea was attacked by my uncle, the train going to the imperial capital encountered a spy from the Flying Flame, the pumice aircraft going to Avak Territory was shot down by the aftermath of King Tianhong, and this time the Siren..."

"Think about it carefully, you will encounter accidents every time! Although you can save the day every time, does this mean that you are not suitable for traveling far away?"

"real or fake?"

This topic immediately attracted the attention of Anfa and Xio. The former was still adding and subtracting numbers in his small notebook, while the latter stuck his head out and asked with interest: "Then will we take the airship this time?" Is there going to be an accident?"

"Don't be so excited, I just want to get to the capital of World Tree as soon as possible." Ian reached out and pushed Xiou's excited little head back. He shook his head and said: "It's all an illusion. I rode out alone... …”

Just as he spoke, Ian recalled the Leian Territory incident, the Magnet Knights who came to attack him, and the Three Kingdoms Dragon Worshiping Cult who came all the way to assassinate him...

hiss……

"Anyway, it's all trivial and can't be called an accident." Ian immediately changed his words: "And the statistical sample is too small. It will be more scientific to do the statistics after I have been out for at least several decades and hundreds of times."

"To be honest, it's quite difficult for me to understand humans."

Although Xiou retracted his head, he still did not stop speaking: "I always don't understand why humans attack and fight each other - in the society of true dragons, they only fight for territory and treasures, and after the fight No one holds grudges, and when it's over, there will be no offense, and no dragon will deliberately attack each other when other dragons go out."

"Believe me, this is just because the number of dragons is relatively small." Ian shook his head: "When the number of real dragons exceeds a thousand and crowds the entire Terra, we will soon see the murder and murder between dragons. There’s a war.”

"What I particularly admire about you is Ian."

Xio admired: "No matter what you say, you look very confident, just like you have seen it with your own eyes."

——That’s of course because I’ve actually seen it.

Ian thought this way, he had really seen the Star-Shattering War between the dragons in Qiang Steel Dragon's memory. At that time, the number of dragons did not exceed a thousand. How could it really be worth more than a thousand?

Xio doesn't know about the Starshatter War, and maybe even the Mountain King doesn't know about it, which is obviously the secret behind the True Dragon's past.

She just sighed: "I really hope that I can be as confident as you, Ian, and can understand human beings a little better... Sometimes I am always afraid that I don't understand human society well, so I am afraid of doing things and making a fool of myself..."

"Listen, Theo."

Although it felt like Xiou was just a little idle because he didn't have snacks to eat, Ian still said seriously: "You don't need to use words to please or deliberately please other people. You just need to be yourself and show your sincere side. Then That’s when you’re most charming and attractive.”

"Hehe...Is that so?" Xio giggled.

On the side, Anfa blinked and looked at Isengard.

——Does Ian always talk like this?

And Isengard nodded.

--Yes. Always. I find it very attractive.

According to the original plan, Ian was going to take the train to the Capital of the World Tree. If nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be an accident on this journey because there were at least five extremist organization teams on the train route conducting attacks along the way.

But this time, with the Yinmen family's airship, the group flew smoothly to their destination without any trouble.

Isengard's recent hard study and hard training, coupled with his previous training in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, have allowed him to reach the edge of the second energy level. His potion is already in place and he can advance at any time.

"I plan to advance before going to the Alien Research Institute. At that time, I will be able to obtain the first bloodline ability of 'Refining Light Erosion Dragon'... But I haven't decided which ability I should choose yet."

This is the reason why Isengard has not advanced. The second level of the Light Eclipse Dragon has several different bloodline abilities to choose from. It can strengthen its own 'blood-burning burst' and can control and strengthen various small-scale ones through blood. The "Blood Control" of Warcraft directly forcibly erodes the minds of large Warcraft and stimulates the "brain erosion" of their physical fitness...

As an ancient heritage with rich skills, the bloodline of the Corroded Light Dragon even has specialized armor and 'nerve extensions' for etheric armed driving, allowing them to control any machine as if they were controlling their own bodies.

The bloodline ability that Patrick originally chose was the simplest and most useful 'blood-burning burst', but Isengard had no such plan. He preferred 'brain erosion' and 'nerve extension'.

"After all, I rarely fight alone." Isengard explained: "Both Brain Corrosion and Neural Extension can be used for our family's inherited ether breeding equipment. The former can be used to control and strengthen the breeding equipment as a large-scale Warcraft, and then It is more general-purpose, but the effect will be inferior to colonial equipment."

"I'm thinking that although our Ellen family is specialized in breeding equipment, we don't necessarily have to focus all our abilities on breeding equipment. Ian, you have the ability to develop armor. In that case, I should choose 'Neural Extension' better."

"I wanted to hear your opinion, so I didn't advance immediately."

"Is that so? You trust me."

Ian frowned slightly. Of course he would not betray Isengard's trust, so he thought seriously: "Indeed. Your family's situation is very complicated. Let me tell you, Isen, you may not be able to get your family's colonial clothing in the future. It’s even more impossible to use colonial equipment in a family fight.”

"In this way, 'neural extension' will be more useful... My territory is developing a new era of etheric weapons for our Yinfeng family. If the idea is correct, I may be able to give you a set!"

"That's not necessary."

Isengard laughed, he just wanted a suggestion: "Xiahui Territory is still in the development stage, you should prepare your own etheric weapons first."

"But you are right. There is internal fighting in our family, and I am unlikely to expect the reproduction to be useful... In this case, I would be better off choosing nerve extension."

——It seems that the internal struggle in the empire is also quite serious.

With Xio leaning on his shoulder and gently rubbing the dragon girl's head with one hand, Anfa listened silently to the exchange between Ian and Isengard. He couldn't help but think of his own family and the infighting between the two major factions of Canaan and Moore. fight.

Whether it is the empire or the elves, there will always be situations where the same family and the same bloodline still have to fight against each other.

The wise men of Canaan Moor throughout the ages have been thinking about how to solve this problem... But the window period to solve this problem has passed. Canaan Moor hundreds of years ago was not unified, and since then, it has been difficult to have the opportunity to unify.

Even she was just an 'experiment' born to try to solve this problem.

Sighing softly, the elf girl shook her head slightly. She stopped thinking about it.

time flies.

The airboat passed through Black Current Port, Gray Lancastle, and the Ainomore River Basin, crossed the east coast of Half Moon Lake, and then headed northeast, following the sea breeze of the Everlasting Ocean.

The further inland the scenery presented to Ian was completely different from that of the Empire. The forests of Canaan Moore were obviously not the same style as those of the Nanling Province. The forests here were larger, more lush, and there were many It looks like very primitive and ancient gymnosperms and tall grasses with curly leaves. In addition to shrubs, there are also large areas of different types of fungus clusters distributed in the forest. Some are mushrooms, some are various types of fungus, and some cannot be named at all and look like some kind of extremely huge bamboo shoots.

And the creatures are even more peculiar - most of the creatures in Nanling are metal-based life forms with earth attributes, but those in Canaan Moore are various giant insects and small and medium-sized lizards with wind attributes. Or to be more direct, dinosaur-like creatures.

Just like the inherent prejudice against certain areas across Terra, every Celestial King demi-human can ride a horse, and the Canaanite Moors really ride big bugs and big lizards as means of transportation. This is of course because there are many locals. Pterosaurs and riding bees, these domesticated and dexterous creatures are very docile, but they lack endurance and can only be used as short-term transportation tools. In the long term, they still have to use airships.

According to Ian's judgment, this is obviously an 'alien ecology' caused by the spread of some kind of fire. It is only because of Terra's evolution and coordination over thousands of years that this originally abnormal alien ecology has been integrated into Terra. The ecology has become suitable for the survival of today's elves - the boy looked down from a high altitude and saw many towns built on giant trees. These towns are centered on large tracts of giant wood forests and are connected by various vine suspension bridges and zip lines. The elves rely on these props and various riding creatures to shuttle back and forth, reflecting their keen and dexterous racial characteristics.

The Capital of World Tree is located in the very center of this ancient Canaanite Moorish jungle.

Today I went out for a walk after a long time. I still feel a little weak. I feel a little out of breath after being out for half an hour... My head is also fuzzy, but after thinking about it, I can't take leave at the beginning of the new year, so I grit my teeth and write slowly.

Getting COVID-19 is really torture...
