Chapter 125 Descendants

Observing the blade of the hundred-meter-long sword from the nanoscopic perspective provided by the Pluto Mecha, one quickly noticed some differences.

They turned out to be lines that looked like snowflakes but were obviously more complex.

Viewed from a nano perspective, it is extremely beautiful, like an endless kaleidoscope world.

"This is called a snowflake pattern. A divine item has a certain number of these patterns. Not only can it enhance the hardness and toughness of a divine weapon, but it can also transmit various divinities without loss and form special divine effects."

"The proportion of snowflake patterns on your armor-piercing broadsword should be around 5%, which can form a powerful armor-piercing special effect."

"And the 5% ratio is exactly in the range of B-level divine weapons. Among the other weapons present, the best is only 4%, which can only be regarded as excellent C-level."

"Last time, it was this knife that chopped Zhang Baili half to death."

Following Guan Shanyue's explanation, not only Li Yi, but everyone else was surprised.

Zhou Changling said: "Snowflake pattern? Am I too old and can't keep up with you young people? Why have I never heard of this thing?"

Chen Qiongzhi also shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it either."

The others, even Long Qizhen, who was also on the Sun Chaser, shook their heads when they saw everyone looking at them:

"I don't understand either."

Liang Zhishen said speechlessly: "Lao Guan, you are not fooling us, are you?"

"Am I the kind of person who would fool you so easily? There's nothing good about this in the first place."

Guan Shanyue laughed and said proudly, "I might as well give you a tip. The Snowflake Pattern was specially named after our Sun Chaser Material Research Center, where their efficacy was determined."

"Before this, you may have seen snowflake patterns on B-level divine weapons from a nano perspective, but you definitely don't know what these patterns are used for."

"Now I can tell you for sure that the snowflake pattern is the key to the divine material!"

"We on the Sun Chaser have already developed a method to replicate snowflake materials and have uploaded it to the Academic Integration Center."

"Although we can only imitate 1% of the snowflake material at present, I believe that it will get better and better in the future."

Everyone was immediately frightened by Guan Shanyue, and with uncertainty they used the nano-perspective of the detection system to observe the six divine weapons on the ground.

After some estimation, it was found that except for the hundred-meter-long sword in Li Yi's hand, the proportion of other snowflake patterns was roughly around 3% of the total.

Liang Zhishen said thoughtfully:

"In other words, 3% is regular C-grade, 4% is superior C-grade? And 2% is D-grade?"

Guan Shanyue nodded and said, "Yes, 1% is E-level. In other words, we can also imitate E-level divine weapons. Of course, at present, the price is not low. It is better to directly obtain the existing ones in the ruins."

Chen Qiongzhi said: "Interesting, if that's the case, then the material of our divine mecha is also the same?"

Guan Shanyue said: "At least part of it is, but the rest is uncertain."

After hearing what everyone said, Li Yi felt the texture of the hundred-meter-long armor-piercing sword through the Pluto Mecha, and felt quite satisfied.

The only trouble is that it is not convenient to move around with this armor-piercing sword mounted on the 69-meter-long fuselage.

After studying it for a while, I found that it cannot be mounted by splitting it, and can only be mounted diagonally between the wind and fire thrusters on the left waist slot and the right shoulder slot.

This is at least a bit more convenient.

"It seems that it would be best to go to the upgrade pool and upgrade the divine mecha before leaving here. During this time, we need to condense a few more divine genes."

While Li Yi was thinking, others also picked their divine weapons one after another.

Among them, Hu Yitong picked up the C-class 90-meter stick and swung it with extraordinary ferocity.

Chen Qiongzhi and Zhou Changling both had C-level divine weapons, so they didn't choose them and kept them for military merit.

Guan Shanyue picked up the eighty-meter-long sword that Li Yi had snatched first. It was only ten meters taller than his divine mecha, which was just right for him and had a perfect contribution ratio.

Next was Zhang Pengting, who chose a 100-meter long sword. His contribution was not enough to buy the sword, so he needed additional resources to compensate.

Zhang Tongyao's own D-level weapon happened to be easy to use, and since the remaining ones were not suitable for him, he chose to exchange his contribution for military merit.

In addition, there are Lin Xiaohu and Teng Juli. Both of them did not contribute much, but they had divine weapons left, so they picked an 80-meter long sword and a 100-meter long spear respectively, in order to compensate for the missing contributions.

At this point, the divine weapons have been distributed.

As for the divine core, Li Yi picked one from the Thundergod sequence, as this happened to be what was missing from his B-level divine core collection.

The rest of the people did not pick up the divine nuclei. After all, they either did not need them or had no contribution to make. They could only pack up the remaining ones and hand them over to the transportation department for unified settlement.

Those who pick up the spoils in advance will also have 30% of their military merit deducted.

After all, everyone was happy except Zhang Baili who was seriously injured and Mo Lihong who had lost his memory.

Chen Qiongzhi said on the public channel:

"Then our next task is to transport the spoils back to the logistics department, sort them out, and clearly register the ownership of the spoils."

"After that, let's decide whether to continue exploring this hidden passage or search for the Ant Fly King and learn more about the situation in the foggy area from him."

"yes!"

Everyone responded and began to take action.

…

Two hours later, the mechas that brought back the spoils explored the passage a little and found that it probably led to the seventh level.

Therefore, I decided to leave.

After all, the foggy area of ​​the sixth level has not been fully explored yet. If we rush into the seventh level now, the probability of our entire team being wiped out will inevitably increase greatly.

So, the mechas went to the cave area again to find the king of the ant-fly people.

This time, the mechas simply did not hide, and dropped directly from the sky, surrounding the cave area that was like a small city from all directions.

Then, the Pluto mecha conveyed the language of the Ant-Fly People, saying that the gods had come and they needed your king to come and see them.

After several repetitions of the broadcast, a group of black-eyed ant-fly men, surrounding a tall ant-fly man with scarlet compound eyes, came out of a cave after a while.

Among so many ant-fly people, only this tall ant-fly man with scarlet compound eyes was wearing clothes made of special materials, and his clothes were bright and dazzling.

Chen Qiongzhi said: "No need to say more, just take him away and leave his territory, and then we will question him."

"I'll do it!"

Teng Juli took the lead in controlling the Raging Wave Mecha. Divine power burst out from his palm, and the wind vortex characteristics exploded. He aimed at the Ant Fly King and sucked it directly into his palm.

He had used this method to capture other ant-fly people before, and it always worked.

Now the Ant Fly King seemed to realize that he could not resist, and was quietly caught in the palm of the Raging Wave Mecha.

This ant fly king, who is only about 1.4 meters tall, is already very tall and mighty among the ant flies, but in the palm of the raging mecha, he is like a small grasshopper and can be easily manipulated.

Chen Qiongzhi said, "Teng Juli, Li Yi, come with me to find a place far away to interrogate the Ant Fly People. The rest of you will guard the Ant Fly People for the time being. According to the requirements from above, we need to move these Ant Fly People out of the ruins and keep them together for the time being."

Li Yi was surprised and asked, "Is the ruling from above out? Instructor, what is the specific result? How should we supervise them together?"

Chen Qiongzhi said:

"I don't know. According to an expert from the Biological Research Center, there is a slight possibility that these ant-fly people are the descendants of an ancient divine civilization. In other words, they have inherited some of their genes. Their research value may be extraordinary."

"In short, we can't just let it go, we have to focus on it."

On the side, Guan Shanyue touched his chin and said in disbelief:

"These little things are the descendants of an ancient divine civilization? What's your basis for this?"

Chen Qiongzhi shook her head and said, "Who knows? None of us know much about this aspect, so we can only listen to the authority first."

The experts of this era are naturally not the common people who could be certified by cheating and deceiving people hundreds of years ago.

Instead, he is a person who has made various outstanding researches and has a profound knowledge base.

His brain has also been specially strengthened and is not comparable to that of an ordinary person.

In terms of professionalism, it is reliable enough.

Although there is a chance of error, it is generally reliable.

At that moment, Guan Shanyue stopped questioning and shrugged, saying, "Well, whether you believe it or not, it's not a bad idea to pack them up and take them away. I always feel that these ant-fly people are somewhat evil, and they are quite different from other kinds of intelligent species I have seen before."

Li Yi seemed to be thinking: "Instructor Guan, they are quite different from other intelligent species. What do you mean by that? I have recently been looking up information about intelligent species and I am a little confused. You speaking up about it will give me some insight."

Teng Juli said: "Shit! I think it's evil too!"

Guan Shanyue said: "Their eyes are very special. Li Yi, didn't you say that their advanced intelligent species have either red eyes or blue eyes?"

"right."

Li Yi fell into deep thought: "Eyes?"

He began to recall all the details he had seen before.

Guan Shanyue didn't wait for Li Yi to think deeply and said directly:

"I can't really put my finger on what's wrong with it. It's just a weird feeling."

"I think their eyes may be able to see something that we can't see!"

"Although they don't have eyeballs and I can't see where their sights are focused, I can feel that when you are talking to them, they are not looking at the Pluto mecha, but at some more distant location."

Teng Juli nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the feeling. Li Yi also explained it before, saying that their perception is amazing, but I always feel that the world in their eyes may be more terrifying... This feeling is hard to describe. In short, it's very evil!"

Li Yi pondered and said, "I roughly understand. I had a similar feeling at the beginning, but after I deciphered their language, the feeling disappeared."

"I didn't think it was that strange before, but now that I think about it, it's indeed a bit strange."

“It’s not the so-called disenchantment, or the feeling of familiarity fading away after the strangeness has faded.”

"If you think about it carefully, their language system is probably hiding something."

"Unfortunately, my deciphering skills are not yet perfect. For some words, I can only understand them from a human perspective, and my understanding is not deep enough."

"If we can decipher it perfectly, maybe we can figure out some problems."

Liang Zhishen said: "Didn't your series of papers pass the review? This means your translation should be fine."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "My translation, how should I put it, has no problem understanding their general meaning."

"But they also have some very freehand, abstract, and non-logical words, similar to our ancient poems, which require careful appreciation to understand the artistic conception."

"Of course, their vocabulary probably hadn't developed into a complex culture like that, but it was there."

"If the possibility suspected by the experts at the Biological Research Center is true, perhaps these words were passed down from ancient people."

When everyone heard this, they felt a little horrified.

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

The problem has come back again.

Teng Juli said: "Hiss, could it be that these ant-fly people really inherited some of the genes of the ancient people?"

Liang Zhishen said: "It may not be impossible. Perhaps they have a more complex language. It's just that they have lived in this environment with a low material change rate for a long time. Although they have not fallen into a long-term dormant state, their intelligence has also been affected and degenerated."

Everyone was talking about it.

Chen Qiongzhi coughed lightly and said:

"We've strayed off topic. Li Yi, quickly ask the Ant Fly King if he has any information related to the foggy area."

Immediately, Li Yi, Teng Juli and Chen Qiongzhi moved away from the cave area a little and came to the pit laboratory that Li Yi had dug before and threw the Ant Fly King down.

Li Yi controlled the Pluto mecha and began to talk with the Ant Fly King.

After a while, Li Yi said on the public channel:

“He told me that his wisdom was generated in the foggy area.”

"He has been in the Mist Zone twice, and each time he experienced a leap in wisdom."

"Moreover, he also said that when he made the second leap, he could hear a voice deep in the foggy area. The voice faintly told him that if he continued to persevere, he would be able to gain wisdom and continue to leap forward."

"But his father told him not to believe the voice."

"Because his father suspected that some of the brothers who did not return after the second fog might have believed the voice from deep in the fog and stayed for only one day before leaving immediately."

Chen Qiongzhi frowned and asked, "Li Yi, ask him to describe in detail what he saw and experienced."

Li Yi said:

“He describes it, but he can’t depict anything deeper.”

"How should I put it? This ant-fly man does have a certain degree of intelligence, and is much smarter than other ant-fly men, but he still gives me a dull feeling."

"Of course, it could also be that he is scheming and is just pretending."

"Or maybe the language system limits his expression."

"By the way, he didn't go deep into the foggy area. He stopped about 20 kilometers away, found a corner, and waited quietly for a day. He stayed awake until he heard the sound from deep in the foggy area, and then he would choose to leave."

"This is also the rule passed down by his ancestors. It is said that if you don't follow it, you will die."

After hearing this, Guan Shanyue also felt that it was a difficult situation and said, "In other words, this is the limit of what this little creature knows about the foggy area? Then we are still helpless against the foggy area?"

Zhou Changling said: "Don't worry, there is a map."

Chen Qiongzhi shook her head and said:

"How about this, Lao Guan, you and Liang Zhishen go get their map. We can use it as a reference. If it's not very useful, then we can temporarily end this exploration journey of the sixth level and report the situation clearly. Wait for the main ship to arrange exploration experts to come and see if they can solve this foggy area."

"By then, if the number of experts deployed by the main ship is not large, we should still have a chance to get out."

Seeing that Chen Qiongzhi had made up her mind, everyone did not try to dissuade her.

After all, Mo Lihong's situation was there, and no one knew whether they would trigger other uncertain taboos.

If you are unlucky and lose it directly, it will not be worth it.

No matter how important it is to explore the ruins, it is impossible to waste human lives in vain.

Such an arrangement would only be possible when the war reached its most difficult moment, when life or death did not matter.

…

Li Yi continued to ask questions to the Ant Fly King, while Guan Shanyue and Liang Zhishen went to obtain the map locations according to what Li Yi asked about.

After a while, Liang Zhishen flew over in the ape suit mecha, carrying a huge rock cave and landed on the ground.

"The map is inside. If we want to see it, we either have to pry open the cave or go inside in person to see it."

Chen Qiongzhi said: "Li Yi, block the ant-fly man's sight. Liang Zhishen, go into the cave and upload the map information to the public channel."

Liang Zhishen: "Okay."

He ejected from the cockpit, jumped to the ground, and trotted into the cave with his personal communicator in hand.

After a while, a huge stone carving scan map appeared on everyone's public channel page.

Liang Zhishen climbed back into the insertion cabin, saying as he climbed: "The smell in here is too strong, I can't stand it. Moreover, after just a short while of jumping down, I feel that my head and body have become much heavier. This shows how special the physical conditions of these ant-fly people are."

"Moreover, even if the air quality here passes the test, there is still no exemption from this invisible material rule."

"It seems that unless it is necessary, it is recommended that you do not easily leave the cockpit and enter this damn place."

At this time, Li Yi had already taken the time to look at the map again. He combined the area he had entered before and the corresponding scale of the Gourd Man Map in his mind and calculated the result in his mind.

He said: "This map is very complete. It basically depicts the regional environment on the side wall, and the proportions are also correct. It can be seen that the accuracy of this map is not low."

Although the others were not as quick as Li Yi in making a judgment, they all felt that the proportions were reliable, the descriptions were detailed, and most likely consistent with the actual situation.

Guan Shanyue said, "How about this? Since the map is highly reliable, why don't we try to rush in and run as fast as possible according to the map information, enter the inner area and explore it? Then, don't speak during the whole process and communicate according to the gestures designated in advance. Is this feasible?"

"Even if the map is real, I don't recommend exploring it now. Let's wait for the opinion of the headquarters."

Zhou Changling spoke slowly, his opinions were mature and prudent.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Zhishen also agreed: "I agree with Senior Zhou's opinion."

Chen Qiongzhi said: "No need to argue, let's go back. Our mission now is to pack up all these ant-fly people and take them away. The exploration of the fog area ends here!"

With Chen Qiongzhi's final verdict, no one else had anything to say and began the plan to relocate the Ant-Fly People.

When they are exposed to the ruins explorers, their fate is bound to take a major turn.

…

In the blink of an eye, six days passed.

Since the end of this exploration, the final exploration work of the first six levels of the ruins has been basically completed.

Apart from the special areas where taboos are determined to exist, and some areas with towering trees, giant vines, and giant ferns, cleanup has not yet begun.

Most of the dormant divine creatures were captured, but a few could not be captured and had to be surrounded and eliminated.

These divine creatures are generally very aggressive and xenophobic. They are basically the gatekeepers of the ruins and are controlled by some invisible force of the ruins.

Even after being captured, it cannot be unsealed for the time being and must continue to be frozen at absolute zero to prevent it from reviving.

As for the divine creatures of the Ice God sequence, there are other ways to suppress them.

After returning to the ships, there will naturally be a wave of handling policies.

According to the rules of previous years, the most likely target would be Bio, the planet with the strongest biological research capabilities, where they would be stored, fed, and bred to provide for various types of research.

In short, these divine creatures are precious resources and research materials, and are living fossils of ancient times. Naturally, they cannot be killed at will.

As for the biological research institutes on each ship, they will form joint research teams with researchers from Biostar and establish various research projects, striving to understand the mysteries of divinity or the mysteries of ancient organisms from divine creatures.

On this day, in the training ground of cabin No. 18.

Li Yi sat next to a pile of divine nuclei, receiving radiation from different divine sequences in turns.

Many of the divine nuclei he earned this time were of grade B, which just met his recent needs for high-quality radiation.

Throughout the day, he could receive nearly 70 minutes of divine radiation, which was more than ten times that of others.

For those who follow the only route, if they can receive divine radiation for more than a certain period of time in a day, their bodies will become saturated and they will not be able to receive it continuously.

But he is different. His various divine radiations rotate in turn, which means his cultivation speed is ten times faster than others.

As long as his soul strength can keep up, he will have almost no bottleneck before the Heavenly Rank.

At this moment, along with a flash of the divine gene in the body, the 11th divine gene was also generated.

This divine gene came from the B-level Thor sequence divine nucleus he obtained in the sixth level last time.

"The Thor sequence characteristics obtained last time are mainly magnetic explosion characteristics, which are magnetic disturbances and riots. The power is good, but the overall control is not particularly comfortable."

“Hopefully this time we’ll get some more useful features.”

While thinking, Li Yi gently pointed his index finger toward the sky, and then fine blue arcs of electricity crackled.
