Chapter 150: The epitome of energy deficiency, Dragon Skeleton Tower
Jungle cabin!
The traveler was slightly stunned, and then quickly recalled in his mind.
Wands? Corpses? Hearts?
It seems that none of them are like that! It doesn’t look like Black Forest or Night Owl either.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in the traveler's mind, and he blurted out: "You are a player!"
Not long ago, Ye Xiao contacted him and asked about the fact that he had not attended any parties for a long time.
I remember that Night Owl once said that the new member of the Jungle Cabin was called Player, and he was a very powerful third-level wizard apprentice.
Could it be the person in front of me? "It seems that you have heard about me from Night Owl. That would save a lot of trouble."
Sunan said as he took out the key to the jungle cabin.
Seeing the unique key in the shape of a trading house, the traveler finally confirmed the identity of the person in front of him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the wariness in his eyes disappeared for the most part.
No matter what, we are all members of the jungle cabin. Even if we can't be called friends, at least we are not enemies.
"Did you see the battle just now?" asked the traveler.
"We just happened to meet." Sunan walked over and sat down opposite the traveler.
"Then you should have heard that those two guys are from the Eternal Life Society."
The traveler looked at Sunan deeply.
"You know the style of the guys in the Eternal Life Society. It's not a good thing to approach me at this time. You came to me, are you trying to help me because we belong to the same organization?"
Su Nan laughed and said, "I just wanted to ask you for some information about this ecological park."
"You've been here for quite some time, haven't you?"
From the fact that the traveler was able to attract the polyonychus silently and find this canyon without stopping, it can be seen that he is very familiar with the situation here and has been here for several months at least.
The traveler nodded, agreeing with Sunan's statement.
"Time is of the essence, so I won't beat around the bush."
"I can tell you information about the ecological park, but in return, you have to help me fight off the evil hand and the bloody mouth and ensure that I can leave the ecological park safely."
"Deal!" Sunan agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that Sunan agreed so quickly, the traveler looked at him in surprise, thinking that Night Owl was right, the player was very strong, otherwise he would not have agreed so confidently after seeing the strength of Demon Hand and Blood Mouth.
The two immediately signed a vow contract.
After the contract was reached, the traveler felt relieved.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
With a powerful helper, they will be able to fight even if the Demonic Hand and Bloody Mouth catch up with them again.
Even if I can't win, escaping should be no problem.
With the guarantee of the oath contract, the traveler completely let down his guard against Sunan and continued to meditate in front of him.
About two hours later, the traveler opened his eyes, his gaze was clear and it was obvious that his mental strength had recovered to its peak.
"Can you tell me about the ecological park now?" said Sunan.
The traveler smiled heartily and stood up.
"Words alone can't explain it, so I'll show you some things and we'll talk as we go."
The two walked out of the cave and came to the sky above the canyon.
After roughly identifying the direction, the traveler took the lead and flew forward.
"According to my investigation, this ecological park should be divided into three different areas."
"The outermost area is Zone 1, where most of the creatures are sub-dragons. For example, the Polyceratops is at the top of the food chain in Zone 1."
"The next place we are going to is Area 2. The creatures there are much more powerful than those in Area 1."
A creature more powerful than a high-level sub-dragon species?
Su Nan's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be a pure-blooded dragon?
If that's the case, then entering Area 2 would be tantamount to seeking death for the two of them.
Only a proper wizard could deal with an adult pure-blooded dragon! But looking at the relaxed expression on the traveler's face, it seemed that it was not what he had guessed.
Seeing Su Nan's puzzled look, the traveler smiled and did not explain, and said in a suspenseful way:
“You’ll know when you get there.”
Not long after, the traveler pointed ahead and said, "After that is Area 2."
Su Nan looked in the direction he pointed, and after careful observation, he discovered that there was a very faint light film in the void hundreds of meters away.
Under the sunlight, it is almost transparent and cannot be seen unless you look carefully.
Looking from a distance, there is nothing special about the scenery behind the light film, it is still a lush forest.
But the moment you pass through the light film, the scenery in front of you suddenly changes.
The vibrant forest instantly turned into a desolate wilderness.
The ground was cracked like a spider web, with scattered bare dead trees and pale bones.
Everything you see is filled with desolation and deathly silence.
It is in stark contrast to the vibrant Area 1.
Just a layer of light film separated the environment by a world of difference. This sudden change made Su Nan stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
He looked at the traveler, who spread his hands.
"When I arrived, District 2 was already like this."
"I haven't investigated the specific reasons yet, but it is probably related to insufficient energy."
Sunan seemed to be thinking about something. He landed in front of a pale skeleton and observed it carefully.
As soon as he saw it, his eyes widened in shock.
"Dragon skeleton!"
Now it was the traveler next to him who was surprised.
"Have you seen the skeletons of dragons?"
He knew that these skeletons were dragons because he had some information before entering the ecological park, but how did the player know? It is difficult to distinguish the skeletons of pure-blooded dragons and sub-dragons just by looking at their appearance.
"I've seen it in a book." Su Nan said casually.
For an 'experienced' person like him, it is easy to distinguish between sub-dragon species and dragon species, as there are many detailed differences between the two.
The traveler obviously didn't believe such a perfunctory reason, but seeing that Su Nan didn't intend to say more, he didn't ask any more questions.
"So the creatures that live in Area 2 and are more powerful than sub-dragons are these dragons?" Sunan said, pointing at the skeleton.
"That's right." The traveler nodded and looked around with a sigh on his face. "Area 2 of this ecological park was originally supposed to be the area for breeding dragons. Perhaps due to insufficient energy, this area has gradually become deserted, and those dragons have gradually died."
Su Nan raised his eyebrows: "What barrier did you just come in through?"
The traveler understood what he meant and said, "I've tested it, and it seems that only humans can pass through the barrier, sub-dragons can't pass through, and I think those dead dragons should be the same."
"More." The traveler pointed to the surrounding skeletons, "You can see that the essence of these skeletons has been completely extracted."
Sunan checked and found that it was just as the traveler said, the essence of these dragon bones had been drained out, and they shattered with a slight touch.
He suddenly felt a little regretful.
The bones of pure-blooded dragons are a very rare material, but after being treated like this, they instantly become worthless waste.
But on second thought, if not for this, these dragon skeletons would have been taken away by travelers long ago, and would not be left there like they are now.
"According to my speculation, this ecological park should have been built by a wizard thousands of years ago, and the builder is likely dead, leaving only this ecological park."
"There should be some kind of magic array in the ecological park that can extract biological energy. When the sub-dragons and dragons here die, their souls and physical energy will be extracted by the ecological park and used to supply the operation of the ecological park."
"It is in this way that the ecological park has formed a nearly perfect energy circulation system, which has enabled it to continue to operate for thousands of years."
"No matter how sophisticated the energy circulation system is, there will be losses during the energy circulation process. After a long time, the energy of the ecological park began to be insufficient, and it had to reduce the energy supply according to the set program, causing the density of energy particles to decrease. As a result, various creatures in Area 2, which consumes the most energy, began to die in large numbers. Their deaths fed back a large amount of energy to the ecological park, allowing Area 1, which consumes less energy, to survive until today!"
The traveler talked freely.
This was his speculation based on the intelligence he got outside and the clues he got from exploring the ecological park in recent days.
He was confident that this speculation was very close to the truth.
I thought Sunan would be very shocked after hearing these words.
But when he turned around, he found that Su Nan had a calm face, as if he already knew the information.
".You don't look surprised at all?"
Su Nan glanced at him and said calmly, "When I saw those dragon skeletons, I guessed what you said. Do you have any other information?"
Traveler: “.”
The traveler was already extremely surprised at this time.
If it could be said that it was a coincidence that we could spot the dragon skeleton at a glance just now, but now that we have deduced the truth about the ecological park based on just a few clues, this can no longer be explained by coincidence!
Players must be very familiar with large-scale cultivation facilities such as ecological parks!
I got the wizard's book about the ecological park by accident. Is it the same for players?
In fact, as early as after seeing the blood and the abnormality of the corpse of the Slender-jawed Dragon, Sunan had roughly guessed the reason why the ecological park had been able to operate for thousands of years.
The appearance of the dragon skeleton made him even more convinced of this.
"We will go to Area 3 next, which is the center of the ecological park and the location of the energy supply system."
Coming back to his senses, the traveler looked at Sunan with a complicated look, said something, and flew into the depths of the wilderness.
There are many skeletons along the way, almost one every few dozen meters, which makes people imagine how lively and prosperous Area 2 must have been when the ecological park was still intact.
There must be tens of thousands of dragons living here. This time, Sunan's guess about the builder's rank has risen to a higher level.
The only one who can raise so many dragons can be a true spirit wizard!
"The entire ecological park is actually a microcosm of the energy shortage in the Starlight Continent."
"If those wizards didn't have the ability to explore the multiverse and were trapped on the Starlight Continent, they might have ended up like these dragons."
About half an hour later, the two passed through another barrier.
The environment in front of me changed again, from a desolate wilderness to a lush green grassland.
In the distance stood the outline of what looked like a tall tower.
It was too far away and Su Nan couldn't see the specific appearance.
"That's the core of the ecological park." The traveler said, pointing to the outline of a tall tower in the distance.
The two flew towards the outline of the tower.
As the distance got closer, Sunan gradually saw the true outline, and was shocked to find that the so-called high tower was actually a huge skeleton with white bones!
A huge dragon skeleton that was over a thousand meters tall! The entire skeleton was winding and coiled, standing upright like a giant tower, with a huge dragon head skull and ferocious dragon horns pointing straight to the sky, looking mighty and powerful, with an indescribable majestic aura.
The empty dragon eyes stared at him. There seemed to be a charm in the dragon's eyes, as if it was really watching him across time and space.
"This Dragon Skeleton Tower should be the control center of the ecological park, but there is a formation arranged inside, and I can't get in without the key."
The traveler said with some regret.
Su Nan went straight to the Dragon Skeleton Tower.
Below the dragon head is a dragon pillar like a spine, and at the bottom is a tightly closed bone door.
Sunan took out a stone golem and ordered it to push the door forward.
As a result, the moment the stone golem's palm touched the bone door, it was engulfed by flames that emerged out of nowhere.
The flames with a strong smell of sulfur instantly burned the stone golem to ashes.
Su Nan's eyes narrowed slightly.
This power is more than one level stronger than the Sword Crystal Dragon's Dragon Breath! Even if an elite stone golem goes up, it will probably be burned to ashes in an instant!
"It's useless. The defensive formation of the Dragon Bone Tower is very powerful. I have tried many times but failed to break it."
As the traveler spoke, his eyes glanced at Sunan's hands with some surprise.
Where did they get that stone golem from? Even a glimmer-level space magic item couldn't fit a stone golem, right? Sunan wasn't surprised.
After all, the builder of the ecological park was most likely a true spirit wizard. The defensive array set up by a powerful person of this level could not be easily broken even by a third-level wizard apprentice, let alone a formal wizard.
I guess this is just the outermost defensive formation.
Of course, if Sunan really wants to crack it, it’s not impossible for him to do it.
Just use the dumbest and simplest method.
Use a large number of puppets to continuously consume the energy of the ecological park until the energy is exhausted, and the defensive formation will naturally lose its effect.
Even though the ecological park is currently in a state of energy shortage, the remaining energy is still a huge number. If the puppet tactics are used to consume the energy, I am afraid that the number of puppets consumed will be astronomical.
Sunan estimated that even if the current base and the entire Star Principality's finances were used to fill it, it would not be enough.
Or we can wait another hundred years or so, until the energy shortage in the eco-park becomes more serious, and then take action.
But not to mention that the ecological park's food chain and ecological environment will suffer severe damage, the more crucial thing is that the Eternal Life Society has already discovered this place.
You can tell with your toes that those guys will not let the ecological park go!
It would be best to take control of the ecological park before the Eternal Life Society intervenes.
"It seems that we need to find the key to enter."
Su Nan pondered secretly.
But the question is where is the key? He turned to look at the traveler, who spread his hands.
"Don't look at me. I told you I don't know where the key is either."
"How do you know this information?" Sunan asked.
The traveler is not like him who has cheats. It is impossible for him to know so much information about the ecological park just by exploration.
The traveler did not hide the restrictions of the oath contract and said frankly:
"I accidentally got a wizard book that described the ecological park. I got the clue of this ecological park from it, and then I searched for a long time in the underground world before I found this place."
"But the book doesn't mention the whereabouts of the key, otherwise I would have taken control of the ecological park long ago."
Su Nan believed this.
If the traveler had the key, he would have many ways to drive away the evil hands and bloody mouths, and he wouldn't have to be chased by the two so miserably.
At this moment, the two of them suddenly changed their expressions and looked in the direction they came from.
Even two figures in the distant sky were flying towards this side at a high speed.
It was the devil's hand and bloody mouth that the traveler had just gotten rid of not long ago! (End of this chapter)
