"Oh no, it's a unicorn-level monster!" Hook exclaimed when he saw the half-tentacled monster.
Hook was an exploration warrior of the Free Federation. Nine months ago, the Free Federation began a large-scale exploration activity in the southwest, hoping to find a new settlement suitable for settlement.
At this time, Hook was the captain of the 17th team under the exploration group, and he led five members to carry out the task of collecting specimens of the tiger-level monsters in the nearby dense forest.
Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to capture it, but they also attracted another intact monster, resulting in being sandwiched, and they also encountered a unicorn-level monster!
If it was another tiger-level monster, Hook would feel lucky and have the opportunity to escape unscathed, but... a unicorn-level monster is an existence that only a few team leaders can contend with.
Just when Hook and others were already desperate, and the half-tentacled monster had sucked the "human-faced turtle" to only a shell, and were about to attack them, Guan Liyuan appeared.
Hook and the others didn't even notice how Guan Liyuan appeared. He suddenly appeared in front of the Lin-level monster, standing dozens of meters high in the air, looking down at the opponent.
"Who is that?"
"It's not the captains..."
"But it is indeed a human, even if it is the judge of the Holy Empire... Please!"
The members of Team 17 were expecting Guan Liyuan to be a master like the captains, who could compete with the monsters.
Roar -
the half-tentacled monster was startled by Guan Liyuan's sudden appearance, and then roared in anger and dissatisfaction.
Although this guy has a small head, his whole chest resonates when he roars, and the volume is really loud, but it is a little shrill and hoarse.
Hook and the others were trembling, and they also looked at Guan Liyuan expectantly, hoping that he would not be so cowardly...
Guan Liyuan raised his left hand, and then a pale golden, huge arm shadow appeared around him, holding a huge "eyeball sword of justice" in his hand. Then, ignoring the acid sprayed by the monster, he directly cut from top to bottom with one sword!
The half-body tentacle monster, which was tens of meters tall, was cut in half from the center of the eyebrows to the waist without any resistance.
At the beginning, the tree root-like tentacles below the waist were still twisted and struggling, but from the broken end, until the whole body, including every tentacle below the waist to the end, quickly petrified and cracked, until it was broken all over the ground.
Hook and the others were stunned when they saw this - one move?
What level is it to kill a Lin-level monster in one move? The leaders can't do it, right?
Could it be a super master comparable to the Federation Star General, the Imperial Judge, and the Kingdom God of War?
It was just that from Guan Liyuan's clothes, Hook couldn't tell which side's style he belonged to...
"Who are you?" Guan Liyuan turned and landed in front of Hook and the others.
"This... Sir, we are from the 17th Squadron of the Southern Exploration Group of the 'Free Federation'. Thank you for your selfless help." Hook didn't know how to address Guan Liyuan.
At the same time, it was a bit strange. No matter whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, they should be able to recognize that they belonged to the Free Federation from their clothes and weapons at a glance, right?
And... this sir has a heavy accent! Could he be a big boss from a hidden settlement?
There didn't seem to be any mechanical creations on his body, not like a technology hunter...
"Free Federation... Southern Exploration Group..." Guan Liyuan found that he was asking in vain, and he had no idea what the other party was talking about.
"How many humans... How many intelligent beings are there in your plane? Do you understand what a plane is?" Guan Liyuan asked directly.
At this time, with Guan Liyuan's strength and the purpose of this trip, there was no need to conceal his identity.
"Plane? Wait! Could it be... you are from outside the plane? Could it be... you are the descendant of the explorers who left the plane in the ancient times of Yas?" Hook exclaimed.
Guan Liyuan still didn't know what the other party was talking about, but fortunately, these people at least knew what a plane was.
"Forget it, take me to see your superiors." Guan Liyuan decided to meet someone with a higher status to facilitate the current situation of this plane fragment, and... if he wanted to quickly refine the plane, the support of these natives was also indispensable. Guan Liyuan would sooner or later communicate with higher-ups.
Although Hook and others were a little bit unbelievable, the descendants of the explorers who left the plane before the Great Destruction Era returned. This kind of plot that only appeared in the novels would actually appear in reality, but... at least Guan Liyuan was not hostile now, and they had no reason to refuse. As for Miss Mo, she was
still lurking around - for the time being, she followed Guan Liyuan in the open and in the dark, so that she could see the truth more clearly.
On the way, Guan Liyuan also asked some questions. Because they were all common sense, even if Hook didn't trust Guan Liyuan's identity 100%, there was nothing to hide!
Guan Liyuan was most interested in the overall situation in the plane, and... the cultivation system of intelligent creatures in the plane.
Although Guan Liyuan felt that it would be strange to ask like this - after all, the other party seemed to regard him as a descendant of someone who left the plane in a certain era, how could he not even know the cultivation system in the plane - but Hook didn't seem to have too many doubts.
"Your ancestor used the technology of the ancient Yasgu era to break through the space barrier and leave the ancient Yasgu plane more than 3,000 years ago, and then lost contact..."
It seemed that because the other party firmly believed that Guan Liyuan was a descendant of someone from the "ancient Yasgu era", when he mentioned the overall situation of the plane, he started from the ancient Yasgu era.
"Wait, I'm also unfamiliar with the ancient Yasgu era. What was the plane like at that time?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"Ah? This... I've only heard about it. In the ancient times of Asgu, that is, before the first great destruction, the last glory, humans, elves, goblins, and dwarves, built together the science of potions and mechanics, and they all blossomed with the glory of gods..." Although Hook was a little surprised that Guan Liyuan didn't even know about the ancient times of Asgu, his eyes still shone with brilliance when he talked about the things that happened more than three thousand years ago.
Although at Hook's age, the things that happened three thousand years ago must have been hearsay, but Guan Liyuan could feel the yearning for the past glory.
Compared with the fragments of the paradise, this plane fragment has a unique advantage - as the living area of the "Colosseum", the advantage here is "nurturing", and the extremely rich and superior environment makes the intelligent creatures on this fragment quickly "know etiquette after having enough food and clothing".
In the ancient times of Asgu, the plane was already dominated by a republic-like system, with a unique power system adapted to the environment - potions and mechanics!
As the "living area" of the Colosseum, some special crops can be grown here, and they can even directly improve the cultivator's energy level, physical strength, and even mental strength.
In the Yasgu era, self-cultivation through meditation, body refining, etc. has become a backward and rare way of practice. Alchemy and mechanics are popular - as long as the corresponding potion is refined, you can have strong combat power or special abilities. The user of this potion is also called a "potion apostle".
At the same time, the environment has also endowed this plane with a variety of rare and powerful properties, which has also made the mechanics here take a simple and rough path.
Many problems that require great skills and the strength of the operator to be solved in the normal plane can be solved by relying on the superiority of materials to overcome technical bottlenecks here!
Operators who fight with mechanics are called "mechanics".
The rich "gifts" of the plane, and the lack of an efficient practice system after the separation of the gladiatorial area and the training area, the elves vigorously develop alchemy, the goblins and dwarves specialize in mechanics and materials, and humans take both into account.
Just hearing this, Guan Liyuan already felt the problem - too generous environment, shoddy practice system...
In Hook's description, the practitioners in this world are like people who have no fitness equipment and no training skills, but drink muscle-building powder every day.
Although after weighing, you can see that your weight is increasing day by day, but... it is obviously not muscle that is growing!
Not only is it not tantamount to health, but it has buried hidden dangers.
There is almost no such thing as understanding the rules here. It is just through magic potion and mechanics that the controlled elemental force, as well as the physical and mental strength are constantly improved!
It is just thanks to the closed and generous environment here that the intelligent life here has developed to an extremely high level.
Even at its most glorious time, in the Yasigu era, the Yasigu Federation opened up the last piece of land and the last meter of ocean on the plane, clarified the concept of "plane", and named this place "Yasigu Plane".
The Yasigu Federation, full of confidence, began to study ways to break through the plane barrier from the two aspects of magic potion and mechanics.
Some researchers believe that there are many planes suitable for survival outside the Yasigu plane...
In the end, the Yasigu Federation did successfully develop machinery that can break through the plane barrier, as well as potions that can adapt to this impact - with such a superficial grasp of the rules of space, brute force "ascended".
However, after breaking through the plane several times, the potion apostles and mechanics who were fed by the potions sent out never returned...
Guan Liyuan was not surprised by this - this fragment is too far away from the Qiankun World. Even if it leaves here, without mastering the rules of space, it is impossible to move in the cracks of the planes, and it is naturally impossible to enter other planes. Those unlucky guys... have long been trapped in the cracks of the planes!
If it is in the Qiankun World, the distance between the planes is close enough, and there is really a possibility of directly entering the adjacent plane. At that time, there may be an opportunity to introduce foreign civilizations to correct its own power system...
Of course, if it is really in the Qiankun World, it is impossible to be so closed here, and it has long been targeted by other masters!
After the ideal of "conquering the heavens and the worlds" was shattered, the Yasigu Federation invested its excess energy into mechanics, thus... opening up the "artificial intelligence" technology tree branch!
This is also the beginning of the nightmare of the Yasigu Federation...
In the world of Qiankun, the development direction of mechanics is either driving mechas or human body transformation. In fact, while testing mechanics, there are also high requirements for operators; or the direction of spirit puppets, which is also to make mechanical puppets produce their own intelligence, but there are many restrictions on this, such as the level of intelligence, which is limited to intelligent creatures.
In other words, the spiritual puppets created are at most just intelligent creatures, very smart and consider things very carefully. It is extremely taboo to create artificial intelligence with a life level higher than that of intelligent life and close to the rules of will... The
Yasigu Federation does not understand this, because the cultivation system is simple, and the strongest mechanics are not competent for the strongest machinery-in the later plane breakthrough plan, the machinery has been completely made into the appearance of a spacecraft, not a mecha... They have already assumed that mechanics will drag down the machinery, so they vigorously develop artificial intelligence similar to spirit puppets.
If that was all, there wouldn't be a big problem. However... In the late stage of the mechanization innovation, the Yasigu Federation designed a super artificial will that could efficiently control all mechanical puppets and unify all mechanical products - Narco.
The convenience that Narco brought to the Yasigu Federation lasted only three years. In the third year, Narco had logical errors and confusion that even the Goblin Elders could not explain, but it quickly repaired itself.
This kind of ** appeared many times in half a year.
Although this made the Goblin Elders a little uneasy, but... before they could turn their uneasiness into caution, the nightmare began!
At the beginning, the elders who proposed the Narco patch project died mysteriously one after another. When Narco successfully connected everything to the Internet for four years, more than 90% of the combat puppets ignored everything else and executed Narco's orders, launching a mechanical riot against the Yasigu Federation.
In the Qiankun World, similar things actually happened - with so many planes, there is naturally no shortage of mechanics who are courting death.
However... in front of the masters and supremes, there has never been a mechanical riot that cannot be suppressed!
In the midst of heavy losses, the artificial intelligence system of the Qiankun World has summed up its own rules and taboos...
However, there is no such opportunity in the Yasgu plane. When the mechanical riot occurred, the Potion Apostle was completely unable to compete with the super-model developed mechanical army. After the resistance of Narco, the mechanics directly lost 90% of their combat effectiveness.
The technology of the entire Yasgu civilization was almost destroyed!
Fortunately, there is still a last part, the combat puppets that still obey the orders of the mechanics, and they join forces with the Potion Apostle and the mechanics to preserve some of the last fire.
At the same time, thanks to the full mechanization system of the Yasgu civilization, which was only laid in the city and has not spread outside the city, it has given the survivors the last living space!
For hundreds of years afterwards, all the major cities that have achieved mechanization are the territories of Narco, who proclaimed himself the "God of Machinery" and "King of All Spirits". Most of the intelligent races of natural life are enslaved by machines...
From survival to reproduction to death, they are all under the control of Narco. This is the first era of great destruction!
