Chapter 512 The Ninth Era is the Last Era

Lu Yuan couldn't help but scratch his scalp. This damn monster was so greedy and cowardly.

I really want to beat you into a pulp.

However, humans can only grit their teeth and bear these expenses. If they are not willing to spend money on bait, how can they catch big fish?

"How much will it cost?" Lu Yuan asked.

"It's hard to estimate. It depends on how greedy it is. In fact, it doesn't need to be too much. Just give it a little every now and then, and it will be unable to stop..."

"In this way, the mental network of eight million people can subtly influence the [monster]."

Conch said seriously: "As long as we work tirelessly to influence it, we can give it an illusion that humans are dangerous and Green City is also dangerous, so we must be transported out. Maybe one day, we will suddenly be thrown out. This is the general plan."

This method sounds really crude, but it is actually somewhat feasible.

Compared to the brutal and ferocious snake-man [ghost], the man-eating [monster] in secret is as gentle as a kindergarten baby.

After Conch finished speaking, the conference room fell silent again.

Even the Lanpeng people could not raise any more questions.

They hung their heads, as if... this was the only way.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Comrades, since this is a long-term war, let's expand the small cave first... In fact, the area can be slightly expanded, but the height must be able to accommodate a green mountain and the inner ring of the sky city."

Several officials from the logistics department quickly calculated: "It will cost about 453 points of luck, especially the entrance to the small cave needs to be expanded..."

"Well, a one-time investment can also bring long-term benefits in the future."

Lu Yuan felt bitter. With an investment of more than 400 points, how long would it take for a human to recover the investment? His assets were only a little over 3,000 points.

But there is no other way. Hiding in the small cave is indeed safer, and the research equipment is more complete.

After a round of discussion, the plan was passed with a high vote.

Lu Yuan thought of something else: "Here, I have to emphasize one point. Although we have some wealth, we may not be able to support ourselves by using the alien space for a long time."

"Therefore, it is necessary to send an investigation team to the snakeman city to look for more clues."

He paused and said, "This is very dangerous, because there may be a trapped [demon] in that place, and a [ghost] who knows what he is doing..."

"Now everyone knows how terrifying the [ghost] is. It can really wipe out civilization easily."

"But we still have to explore... I hope you can give us some advice to increase the chances of success."

"I sign up." Duke Magmite of the Lanpeng civilization raised his hand and said, "I have the ability to trace back history and can dig out more information."

"In addition, we can also provide several X-class power armors to reduce the chances of being discovered by the [Ghost]."

Lu Yuan nodded.

The Duke is indeed a qualified candidate.

Actually, Miss Conch is not bad either.

However, as things have developed to this point, Conch should stay here and build the dream network.

He has to go in person, just in case a demon or something suddenly shows up to cause trouble, he can fight it off.

As for the other team members, he chose Comrade Guo Dafeng, who had excellent reconnaissance capabilities, two translation experts, and several soldiers who were good at using drones.

Plus an old cat comrade.

Such an elite squad is about right.

The group also prepared a hovercraft filled with unmanned detection equipment.

I won’t even bother installing offensive missiles, as if a real fight breaks out they’ll wake up the [ghost].

However, some Spiritual Words and Runes were prepared. This thing made no sound and made very little movement. Ordinary people could use it easily. It was indeed a very good technology.

…

"Let's go!" The human troops were divided into two groups. One of the larger spaceships headed for Quincy City 300 kilometers away to transport the hibernation chamber.

Another small spaceship quickly floated towards the snake city.

A quaint and desolate ancient city stands on the withered yellow Gobi Desert and the hard blue-gray rocks.

This is really a den of dragons and tigers.

Lu Yuan has been thinking, even if the [ghost] is dismembered, how can it be sealed?

If you can't seal it, fighting with the [ghost] is really a huge waste.

"It's impossible to do it now. If we develop into a level 4 or 5 civilization in the future, will we have a corresponding technology tree?"

"The only company with potential right now is Lingyan Technology," said the old cat, "but the prerequisite is that we have to enhance the strength of Painted Skin."

"Where is the technology tree of Lanpeng civilization?"

Magmet said: "My civilization's most powerful physical material, carbon acetylene, is probably difficult to seal a [ghost]."

This birdman was telling the truth. After all, this kind of thing could cost lives.

After yesterday's terrifying night, how could he dare to brag?

"But the technology tree of my civilization comes from the space fortress on the moon."

"That spaceship has stronger nanomaterials, but my civilization has not yet cracked them, so we have no way to produce them. For example, there is a material called flying blade, which is only one-tenth the thickness of a hair and can cut carbon acetylene."

"There is also a metallic hydrogen material called 'Tears of the Virgin Mary', whose atoms are arranged in a layer of hydrogen atoms. But how it is produced is something that my civilization has no idea about, and we don't even have the corresponding theory."

Magmet sighed and said, "There are a small amount of relevant materials in the laboratory, but this amount is obviously not enough to seal a [ghost]."

Lu Yuan frowned. Since the traditional materialistic method is difficult, is it possible to combine it with some idealism?

Especially when there are so many human glyph engineers...

But it's too late to cram now. Their time is limited, and the ghost might crawl out again at night. It is important to complete the task quickly.

Dozens of small drones were released from the spacecraft.

People saw withered trees, large haystacks and cracked city walls.

Each of those large bluestones, which had not yet weathered, weighed more than ten tons and had traces of carvings on them.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This may have been a very powerful city. The stone weighing more than ten tons was built entirely by manpower. The amount of work required to transport the stone was terrifyingly exaggerated.

Not long after, people saw several snake-like creatures, naked, blue-gray all over, about 4 meters long, incredibly thin, with long slender hands, and their pairs of vertical pupils stared at the human drones.

Looking at the "steady" sound of the propeller, one snake-like creature after another stood up.

Suddenly, a snake-man leaped forward, grabbed the drone, and bit it with its long, sharp teeth.

"Kacha!" The lens was directly chewed to pieces.

The expedition team in the high-altitude spacecraft was startled.

Lu Yuan said: "It should be an instinctive hunting tendency to lift the drone higher."

Then he narrowed his eyes and stuck his head out of the boat.

Pioneer's Eye: [It may be an intelligent life, but its soul is somewhat damaged and may be difficult to save. ]

[Due to long-term bad selection, this race is slowly degenerating and may have already left the realm of intelligent life. Even if a newly born individual receives a good education from childhood, it is difficult for him to become an intelligent race from childhood.]

【Shape: 7.9-9.2】

【Air: 8.2-10.1】

[God: 0.2-0.5]

This was the first time Lu Yuan saw such an outrageous attribute distribution, 0.2-0.5 of the divine attribute, which was similar to that of various insects.

Ordinary animals, such as birds and mammals, at least still have 1-2 points of divinity.

Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva and informed his companions of the intelligence he had obtained.

"I see. No wonder this [monster] is a little anxious." The old cat said, "The snake man has been kept in captivity for so many years and has completely degenerated. No matter how much it is kept in captivity, it will not be able to obtain spiritual charm. Once it runs out of energy, it will be killed by the [ghost]."

"Humans are not suitable for domestication."

"On the contrary, the Blue Peng people are very suitable for breeding. They are a race that lays eggs."

"No, no, no, we are not suitable either." Duke Magmite said, "We Lanpeng people need excellent noble genes. Many commoners reproduce offspring through noble genes. This kind of selection makes our descendants more outstanding."

"But where do outstanding nobles come from? This kind of internal competition is very cruel. The children of nobles do enjoy extraordinary treatment, but few can truly stand out."

"Being raised by a monster, without this kind of screening, the genes will quickly deteriorate."

"So... that's it." Lu Yuan nodded and said with understanding, "Your prince, His Excellency Jinbot, is indeed very outstanding. He left us with hope in the desperate situation."

Magmet was in a pretty good mood.

However, after operating the spacecraft for a long time, everyone found that the content detected by the drone was really limited.

All of them are scenes of snake people daydreaming, sleeping, and fighting. The text materials have long been worn out.

They gradually degenerated into primitive animals.

After all, the datura fruit is a supernatural food. One fruit can keep you full for several days. You can live a carefree life, just eat and sleep.

Also due to the deterioration of the snake people's genes, the intelligence of the monsters is actually declining.

[Monster] If they could find a suitable species to raise, they might abandon the snake people.

"What if we can't find it?" asked the old cat.

"That means... [Monster] might die in the Ninth Era." Lu Yuan said, "The Underground Alliance will definitely mark the area to prevent other civilizations from approaching here."

"When the time comes, the [monsters] will die together due to lack of energy."

"So, the Ninth Era is the last era..."

Lu Yuan sighed: "Although this statement is a bit metaphysical, it does make sense when many factors are combined. In other words, many of the backup plans left by the previous dynasty can no longer hold up."

"Unless the creatures of our generation can perform beyond their capabilities and give birth to an extremely powerful civilization, the entire Pangu Continent may not have the next era..."
