Chapter 148 Ecological Park, Super Large Cultivation Area
Ruian City, a mountain forest in the north.
The once desolate forests are now heavily blocked by fully armed troops, and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
In a cave deep in the forest, Su Nan's figure slowly emerged.
In order to avoid trouble, he did not inform the Lord of Ryan City and arrived here quietly without disturbing anyone on the way.
The cave was dimly lit and silent, with only the sound of light footsteps echoing.
After passing through the cave, a desolate hill suddenly comes into view.
Su Nan activated the levitation technique on his robe, and the whole person floated up, flying towards the place where the sword crystal dragon was located according to the intelligence.
Along the way, Su Nan looked around.
As the intelligence said, footprints of sub-dragons can be seen everywhere.
In some places, the footprints are densely packed together, interlaced and overlapping with each other, and there are also many traces of ferocious beasts attacking. It can be imagined that a fight between sub-dragon species once took place here.
"There are so many different species of sub-dragons. It is very likely that they escaped from somewhere."
"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be an ecological park with sub-dragon species nearby."
The so-called ecological park refers to a large cultivation area.
Some powerful wizards will build an extra-large protective barrier and then transform it into a stable and complete self-circulating ecological environment to cultivate specific species.
These species are often rare species that are rarely seen in the outside world.
Therefore, ecological parks are often referred to as species breeding grounds or super-large breeding bases.
It is worth mentioning that the ecological park is usually a closed semi-dimensional space, isolated from the material world, and only those who have the key or the password can enter it.
Sunan guessed that there was probably an ecological park nearby that was dedicated to breeding sub-dragon species, but there was some kind of flaw in this ecological park, causing it to connect with the material world, and many sub-dragon species escaped.
Only in this way can we explain why a large number of sub-dragon species of different races suddenly appeared in this area when it is obviously not a diverse environment suitable for the coexistence of many sub-dragon species.
"An ecological park for cultivating sub-dragon species?"
"If it's true, it's really a big deal!"
The cost of building an eco-park is not much less than that of a wizard tower.
Especially for the ecological park for breeding sub-dragon species, the cost is an astronomical figure! It is comparable to a medium or large wizard tower! Even for formal wizards, few people can afford such a large sum.
While thinking, Sunan had already arrived at the place where the sword crystal dragon was.
He was just about to look for the whereabouts of the Sword Crystal Dragon when a roar suddenly came from the front.
The next moment, a giant beast that looked like a lizard with fiery red crystals all over its back walked out from behind the mountain wall.
The body of this giant beast is estimated to be about twelve meters long and five meters tall. It has strong and powerful limbs, a tail with sharp barbs, and red crystals on its back that stand upright like swords. Sparks can be seen flowing between the crystals when colliding.
"Sword Crystal Dragon!"
Su Nan raised his eyebrows. This saved him the effort of searching.
"roar!"
Seeing Su Nan, the Sword Crystal Dragon roared and pounced on him without saying a word.
The huge body like a mountain brought up violent gusts of wind, and the whistling sound was as low as thunder. The oppressive feeling was enough to make weaker people collapse to the ground on the spot, losing the power to resist.
“Although it is very weak, a trace of dragon power has been born.”
"The blood concentration of this sword crystal dragon should be very high."
After discovering a high-level sub-dragon species, Sunan's face showed a more joyful smile.
The Sword Crystal Dragon was completely unaware of the threat posed by the person in front of it. It rushed closer and suddenly opened its bloody mouth. Sparks flashed between its teeth, and the next second a flame with a smell of sulfur suddenly gushed out.
Boom! The surging flames submerged Sunan's body! Jian Jinglong roared excitedly, but then he was stunned.
After the flames dissipated, there was no trace of Su Nan, only a charred area.
At this moment, a sharp explosion suddenly came from behind.
Chi Chi Chi! A sky full of silver spikes suddenly swept over, sweeping over the Sword Crystal Dragon like a torrent.
This two-ring legendary sub-dragon species only had time to let out a short whine before blood flowers burst out from its body and it fell to the ground with a bang.
The dense silver spikes returned to Su Nan's body.
Looking at the dying and powerless sword crystal dragon on the ground, a smile appeared on Su Nan's lips.
At that moment just now, he used the mirror image technique and the invisibility technique at the same time to hide his own figure.
The sword crystal dragon's dragon breath hit just an illusion.
"Instant spells combined with compound casting are really useful!"
Sunan smiled slightly, took out the metal cage, stuffed the sword crystal dragon into it, then took out ten stone golems and an elite stone golem, and ordered them to move the metal cage to the vicinity of the entrance and bring it back to the base when he returned.
After dealing with the Sword Crystal Dragon, Su Nan continued to fly forward following the traces it left behind.
We didn't encounter any other sub-dragon species along the way.
I think this area should be the territory of the sword crystal dragon, and other dragon species dare not set foot here.
Before long, a thick mountain wall appeared at the end of the sight.
There is no way.
Instead of being surprised, Sunan was delighted. He immediately searched the surroundings carefully. After a while, he finally found something behind a huge rock.
The huge rock is almost twenty meters high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small hill. It does not look unusual from the front, but the back is pitch black.
It is not the pitch-black darkness of color, but the darkness that swallows everything like a black hole.
If you look closely, you can find that the darkness is slowly rotating, but because of the dim light around it and its own color, you can't notice it unless you look carefully.
"Space channel?" Su Nan's eyes flashed.
It is obvious that for some reason, the back of this huge rock is connected to a certain dimension, thus forming a space channel.
And the other side of the space channel is most likely where those sub-dragon species come from.
Sunan thought for a while, took out a stone golem, and let it enter the dark space passage.
Almost in an instant, its connection with the stone golem was severed and it could no longer be controlled.
This situation will only occur when you are in different dimensional planes.
After confirming that the other side of the darkness was a certain dimensional space, Su Nan no longer hesitated and decisively activated the magic pattern core to cover his entire body.
Immediately afterwards, he activated the Ring of Ultimate Protection, cast [Elemental Protection] and [Shield Spell] on himself, and consumed a high-level earth rune gem to give himself an additional layer of defense.
After making all the necessary preparations, Sunan took a deep breath and stepped into the darkness.
A strong feeling of weightlessness instantly enveloped the whole body.
Sunan only felt as if he had passed through an invisible water curtain. When he regained consciousness, he heard the crisp sound of insects coming from his ears.
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a strange and magnificent scene.
Before my eyes is a forest of tall and lush trees.
Towering trees that are tens or hundreds of meters tall block out the sun. The vegetation on the ground is very lush, and even the bushes are two or three meters high.
Above our heads, dense treetops intertwined with one another, covering the entire sky as if it were covered.
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the ground, forming mottled golden patches.
You can faintly hear the sound of flowing water in the distance and strange noises deep in the dense forest. It seems like you have entered a mysterious tropical jungle.
“It’s really an ecological park!”
Looking at the situation in front of him, Sunan could finally confirm that he had indeed come to an ecological park.
The stone golem stood quietly by the side without moving. Sunan put it back into the Rubik's Cube and then looked back at the passage they came from.
Behind him was a faint purple color, like the edge of a twisting void, spreading upward and disappearing among the dense tree canopies.
And the black entrance was embedded in the purple void, as conspicuous as a black dot on white paper.
Sunan flew upwards, passed through the treetops, and arrived above the forest.
As expected, the sky was also purple, extending far away, and it seemed as if the entire forest was wrapped in purple.
This is indeed the case. This layer of purple is actually an extra-large protective shield that isolates the entire ecological park from the outside world and maintains the balance of the internal ecosystem.
It was just that a leak occurred due to some reason, which led to the dragon species escaping.
After landing back on the ground, Sunan flew towards the depths of the forest, ready to explore this ecological park thoroughly.
Generally speaking, a large number of rare magical plants are planted in the ecological park to maximize the use of the special environment inside the ecological park.
These rare magical plants alone are a considerable harvest.
In addition to these, there are the sub-dragon species living in the ecological park. They are all aggregates of materials that can walk!
"If we can control this ecological park"
Su Nan's heart was burning with anger.
A complete ecological park requires a huge amount of energy during its initial construction. Once it is successfully operated, most of the energy needed to maintain its operation can be self-sufficient and self-circulating, requiring only a small amount of energy from the outside.
But this small amount is relative. For a single wizard, it is still a huge amount of energy.
If any other wizard were to acquire this eco-park, they would not be able to sustain its operation given the current energy shortage.
But Sunan is different, he has magic stones! At worst, he can just make more magic stones to support the operation of the ecological park.
Anyway, the cost of making magic stones is extremely low.
As long as he can find a way to control this ecological park, he will have obtained a breeding base that can continuously produce various rare materials.
This is more useful than opening up a hundred magic gardens and raising dozens of sub-dragon species! "But then again, the wizard who can build such an ecological park must be very powerful. It can only be the wizards from a thousand years ago."
"But if that's the case, why didn't the builders relocate the eco-park?"
"You can't be kind enough to leave it for those who come after you, right?"
Sunan was amused by his own guess. No matter how kind a wizard was, he would not be so extravagant.
That’s an entire ecological park!
He was more inclined to believe that the builder had died before the wizard's expedition, so the ecological park was preserved.
But this brings up a new question: where did the energy come from during the thousand years that the eco-park has been operating?
Is there someone else providing energy for this eco-park?
Or is there something special about the eco-park’s own energy supply system?
There are more and more doubts in my mind.
Su Nan shook his head and stopped worrying about it. He had too little information at hand and couldn't make any inferences. It would not be too late to make inferences after exploring and collecting more information.
For now, I should concentrate on collecting materials.
In just a few hundred meters, Sunan had already discovered no less than ten kinds of magical plants.
There are materials for second and third level potions including ambergris, jade frost flower, mutated devil vine and golden thorn grass!
Materials that are rarely seen in the outside world are everywhere here.
"These magic plants should have been planted at the beginning. Because of the energy from the ecological park, they have been able to reproduce and survive to this day."
Su Nan didn't hesitate to pick all the magical plants he saw along the way and put them into his space ring.
Creak! Creak! Suddenly, some strange noises came from the bushes ahead.
Su Nan stopped immediately and looked at him warily.
The noises became more and more frequent, as if many creatures were approaching this side.
Soon, a group of creatures rushed out from the bushes.
These creatures look like small, narrow, pocket-sized dinosaurs, about one meter in length, with mouths full of fine, sharp teeth, upper limbs with two curved fingers, and lower limbs that are much thicker and full of power.
"It's a Slenderjaw."
Su Nan's expression relaxed.
The Micrognathus is a small dinosaur, a low-level subsaurian species.
An adult has only the combat power of a junior knight, which is not particularly strong. The only thing to note is that Slenderjaws often appear in groups.
When you see a Slender-jawed Dragon appear in front of you, don't doubt it, there must be dozens of its kind following it.
Crunch!
These slender-jawed dragons living in the ecological park seemed to have never seen humans before. After discovering Su Nan, they were stunned for a moment, looked at him curiously with their turbid yellow pupils, then let out excited calls and moved their limbs to rush towards him at a rapid speed.
Apparently they thought of him as some kind of novel food.
Su Nan sneered, raised his hand and shot out a magic missile.
The seven missiles instantly blew the heads of the seven slender-jawed dragons to pieces.
Because they were in the ecological park, it was difficult to capture sub-dragon species alive. In addition, the Slenderjaw Dragon was also a low-level creature among the low-level sub-dragon species, and there was not much value in capturing and raising it alive, so Su Nan acted without mercy.
In a short while, more than thirty slender-jawed dragons were wiped out.
After simply collecting some materials, Sunan then activated the invisibility spell on his robe, and his figure disappeared instantly.
The most urgent task is to explore the situation of the ecological park and find the core that controls the ecological park, rather than hunting sub-dragon species. Fighting should be avoided if possible.
Although invisibility cannot avoid the perception of all sub-dragon species, it is enough to deceive most mid- and low-level sub-dragon species.
But just when Sunan was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that a very faint red light was emanating from the bodies of those slender-jawed dragons. After gathering together, it formed a long and thin ray of light, which whooshed away into the distance.
Su Nan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and chased after him.
But the blood-red light was flying at an extremely fast speed, and he could not catch up with it no matter how hard he tried. Just as he was hesitating whether to use the high-level rune gem, the blood-red light had disappeared at the end of his sight.
"What is that?"
Su Nan stopped and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
