inspiration?
All three beasts have inspiration!
Li Liang couldn't believe it. He closed his eyes again and pulled out a ray of spirit from the double-ring domain ring. It instantly penetrated the bushes and penetrated into the body of the beast hiding inside.
He immediately felt that the spirit was constantly being disturbed by other forces. Those attractions were very slight and were exactly the affinity of life itself for the spirit. The characteristics of this affinity were defined as inspiration by the magic circle.
Based on the seven-level classification method promoted by the Ministry of Magic and combined with his experience, he found that two of the three beasts were close to level three, and the largest one had an astonishing level four inspiration.
Previously, Old Tang and Brother Shui used a lot of manpower and after careful screening, they found less than a hundred Level 3 people among hundreds of thousands of humans, and only three Level 4 people. Now, any beast in Enino has Level 3?
If animals have inspiration, then plants...
Li Liang took out another ray of spirit and probed into the nearest giant tree.
Level three.
Not only trees have inspirations, but shrubs, weeds, vines, and even dog urine moss have secondary levels.
At this moment, he finally understood why the elves named this basic world "Ernino". In the Elvish language, "Ernino" means "plant that cannot resonate with Elune."
Apparently, the goblins sensed that the plants of Enino were inspired, and tried to enlighten or strengthen them with Elune's power, but for some reason they ultimately failed.
Wow~
The bushes in the distance trembled, and a huge strange creature slowly crawled out. Its body was more than five meters long. At first glance, it looked like a giant millipede. The hard carapace each section was dark brown, and there were sixteen pairs of steps on both sides. The limbs are short and thick, shaped like elephant feet. The head covered by the carapace protrudes from the head with two densely toothed appendages, which are constantly interlocking and biting.
"Hiss..." Cain tilted his head back and said in a muffled voice, "What did this insect eat to grow so big?"
The accompanying scientific officer of the advance army introduced: "General, this is the 'Wuqi', one of the seven sacred animals in the Enino religion. It is also the totem of the 'Wuqi' clan. 'Wuqi' is a mammal. It just retains some of its arthropod characteristics."
At this time, Li Liang raised his hand to signal the Marines to put down their guns, and said to Lingye: "Put it down, don't kill it."
"yes."
Ling Ye nodded, hugged the psychic beam cannon on his shoulder, and took a long step to run. At the same time, the "Wu Qi" on the opposite side was frightened and raised its two appendages. There were two sounds in between, and then Sixteen pairs of legs stepped on the ground and suddenly rushed forward.
The moment a man and a beast came close, Lingye twisted his waist to avoid the scissoring of his appendages, turned around with the cannon in his hands, swung it in a circle, and slammed into the side of "Wu Qi".
when!
The five-meter-long beast was overturned in an instant. After rolling for two weeks, its belly was facing the sky, its walking limbs were twitching, and it was unable to turn over.
The bushes in the distance shook violently, and the other two beasts fled wildly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hiss," Cain turned around and asked, "What did he eat to make him so strong?"
Li Liang smiled. This was the Ling Ye he remembered. He was able to overturn the Netherworld with a hammer, but now he was just trying his best to deal with a beast.
All the Marines looked at each other, obviously not expecting that this sergeant major who had always been unknown and finally relied on "nepotism" to get to the position could be so tough.
The scientific officer of the advance army rushed over excitedly, squatted on Wuqi's tail and shouted: "Come and look, this is its reproductive system, a typical mammalian feature, look here..."
Unfortunately, no one cares about the reproductive system, everyone is focused on the head.
Under the thick carapace on Wuqi's head, there are two sets of mouthparts hidden, one with broad snouts and fangs, and the other is bright red and small, covered with soft and slender flagella. The roots of the huge appendages have a pair of disproportionate ones. The eyes are small, and there is only a thin line in the childish hole.
Staring at those small eyes, Li Liang used his spirit to test again.
The Jili world was a desert of spirits, and he wanted to know if the Enino beast would have any special reaction if it received a large number of spirits.
Sure enough, Wu Qi's originally thin boy hole opened up a bit in an instant.
He also discovered that the incoming spirits had a tendency to flow along Wu Qi's body before dissipating, which looked a bit like... Taoism.
"I feel the spirit being released," Tripoca said, vibrating the air. "Holy Prophet, what do you sense?"
Li Liang didn't look back and asked softly: "Can wild beasts also have inspiration?"
"Huh?" Cain pulled out the mechanical arm from Wuqi's big mouth, his face full of surprise.
Tripoca was obviously surprised, and remained silent for a long time before speaking again: "It is generally believed in the magic community that inspiration is a transcendental path inherent in some intelligent life individuals, and is related to Jezila, Belaya, Axia's unique perception ability is a kind of cognition that precedes experience and transcends categories. Non-intelligent life often lacks a clear understanding of the external world, that is, Achilu, even if it is a native species born in the central domain. , and rarely show affinity for spirits.”
"Very few?" Li Liang frowned, "No?"
"Some native species were once excluded from intelligent life. When they showed the characteristics of inspiration, they were reclassified as intelligent life. For example, the rock beasts raised by the Sayad family were defined as servants. Not a beast.”
Li Liang was thoughtful.
No wonder Makosik City does not allow any visitors to bring their own transportation, but allows the devil Sayad to ride a rock beast on a rampage in a grand manner. At that time, he was burdened with a heavy responsibility and had no intention of testing. He thought this "privilege" was Harlan Poe. In order to support the "taxi industry" of the aboriginal people, I did not expect that the rock beasts were actually intelligent beings.
If the plants and animals in the Enino universe all have extremely rare talents, then as the only intelligent life, the Enino people should have inspiration. However, the prisoner we saw on the Nautilus before was an out-and-out genius. "Gufo".
Thinking of the phrase "Sadai Panassu" blurted out by the prisoner, he had a hunch that the seemingly primitive Enino civilization might have some unknown secrets.
"keep going."
Li Liang stood up and gave the order, and the team set off again.
————
Not long after entering the dense forest, the ground was covered by dense clusters of low plants. The canopy of giant trees that were tens of meters high was thick and dense, almost completely blocking the sky. Beams of light leaked from the branches, and fine dust passed through the beams and disappeared. In the humid darkness, huge vines wrapped around the tree grew wildly and intertwined into a network.
The chirping of birds came near and far away, and occasionally a series of low roars of wild beasts were heard, vaguely mixed with another long song, as if some large and docile herbivorous animal was calling its companions.
In this quiet and ancient alien jungle, a group of humans cut down vines, built bridges over streams, and walked silently. Compared to everything around them, their bodies seemed extremely small, but their expressions were extremely relaxed, as if they were on an outing.
Armed drones were hovering overhead. Li Liang walked in the middle of the team step by step. He gradually discovered that more and more insects and small animals appeared among the surrounding vines, broad leaves and branches. It seemed that the entire jungle was there. Keep an eye on these uninvited guests.
What's even more exaggerated is that every animal and every plant has inspiration to a greater or lesser extent.
By the end, he was too numb to try again, and Cain was too excited and kept discovering strange animals and plants, pulling him to look at them every time.
At first glance, El Niño's ecological environment is similar to that of Earth, but up close, it is quite different.
For example, they encountered a huge plant similar to "Rafflesia". The petals are stretched out, nearly two meters in diameter, and extremely colorful. The "flower core" is a depression, and there is a swollen little insect crawling around in it. , the amazing thing is that there are small insects spinning in every flower.
Li Liang thought that the little bug was a plant mimic bait, which was agreed by the scientific officer of the advance army.
Cain, however, did not believe in evil, and stretched the robot hand directly in. The delicate flowers that were "harmless to humans and animals" immediately sprouted "fangs" and bit her hand with a crunching sound.
Li Liang looked at Cain who was laughing so hard that he felt that this woman had finally thought about it and had become "Zhou Xiaomian" again.
————
An hour later, the team stepped on vines like a single-plank bridge, crossed a bottomless pit, and stepped onto a flat rock.
Just as Li Liang stood firm, he suddenly heard the voice of the assault ship captain coming from the communication headset: "Attention, the landing force, there are fifteen Eninos... uh, the Eninos are approaching... What's going on?"
The Marines obviously saw the enemy in their helmet sights, but when they raised their guns, they hesitated in their movements.
Li Liang also noticed hearts "approaching" in Ling's field of vision, but their height from the ground was very small, indicating that the people coming were very low, like a group of...
Wow~
The bushes shook, and Ling Ye, who was standing at the front of the team, suddenly removed the cannon from his shoulders.
The next moment, a group of fried wild children rushed out with shouts and screams. They rushed in front of Ling Ye on their hands and feet like little monkeys. Some hugged the legs and some climbed up along the legs. In the blink of an eye, tall and tall The bear-like Lingye looked like a little kid.
Dongdong~
Dangdang~
Bang bang~
The children used their teeth, smashed with their fists, and slapped the "giant" in front of them. However, the "giant's" "skin" was harder than anything they had ever seen, and it was difficult to hurt at all.
"Pfft~ cluck, cluck, cluck..." Cain held his stomach and couldn't help himself.
"..."
Everyone was stunned.
Li Liang was also confused. He thought that some kid would take out a grenade or something and blow it up, but it turned out that these boy scouts were really fighting against each other.
Doesn't this...hand hurt?
Lingye finally became impatient, and pulled off the child sitting on his head like a little chicken, then threw away some of the ones hanging on his arms, and kicked the little wild child with an afro over him with a kick.
Cain hurriedly came over, held down the little guy's head with his left hand, stretched out his right index finger to tease his nose: "Hey, little thing~~"
The child with the afro bared his teeth, but could not break away. He bit Cain's finger violently, then suddenly froze, slowly released his mouth, and lowered his head to spit out a bloody tooth.
He was stunned for a while, and then... burst into tears.
"Wow……"
This voice seemed to trigger a "wolf howl", and all the children began to sit on the ground and cry, literally bursting into tears.
"Wow~~~"
"Wow wow wow~~~~"
The scene instantly changed to that of a new kindergarten student entering the kindergarten.
"The instigator" Cain spread his hands to show that he was very innocent.
Li Liang glared at her, walked forward, knelt down, and gently patted the head of the little wild boy with an afro.
Unexpectedly, the little wild boy immediately changed from crying and crying to whimpering. His small eyes with single eyelids blinked, revealing the cunningness of intelligent life that was very different from wild beasts.
"Huh?" Cain knelt down beside him and slowly extended his right index finger to the little wild boy's mouth. Li Liang slapped him and took it back as if nothing had happened.
Soon, all the children stopped crying and blinked to look at the humans.
Li Liang turned around and asked, "The Enino people use children as sentinels?"
Korak communicated with his colleagues for a moment, shook his head and said: "Father, the reconnaissance company sent by our department has never encountered such a situation. It has only encountered tribal guards of the 'Shaloum' clan."
"It's so abnormal," the scientific officer of the advance army frowned. "The Enino people never let their young children leave their territory, because many large animals will prey on them."
Li Liang nodded, stood up and ordered: "Take these children with you and continue moving forward."
He has tried it out, and all the children present are "Gufu" and have no inspiration at all. As for whether the little guys are "sentinels" sent by the tribe, it doesn't matter at all. From the moment they pass through the spiritual gate, human beings are The only overlord of this universe.
On the contrary, he expected to be attacked simply and roughly, which showed that the Enino people's brains were as primitive as their appearance.
————
The Enino "resistance" came faster than expected.
Twenty minutes later, the assault ship issued another warning that a team of fifty people was approaching.
The ground special forces are waiting in formation, and armed drones have been dispatched in advance, hovering above the enemy.
However, this unsuspicious battle did not begin.
Because what finally emerged from the bushes and appeared in front of everyone was a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people.
Some of them were too old to walk, and were carried by two not-so-old old men. There were also lame, blind, missing arms and legs. There was even an old man carrying someone whose life and death was unknown.
Now everyone was really confused.
Lingye waved his hand, and the four marines raised their "kinetic energy deflection" shields and moved forward, all the way to the front of the "resistance" formation.
The leader, old man Enino, was seen tremblingly raising a wooden stick as thick as his arm and knocking it down "hard".
Winter~
The stick fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
The Marine was stunned, not knowing how to react.
The old man didn't give in. Panting, he picked up the wooden stick and hit it again. As a result, the force was stronger this time. The wooden stick rebounded and hit himself on the head, successfully knocking him down.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"..."
The Marines who had achieved great results looked back blankly and found that the commanders were equally confused.
Cain walked straight forward, looked at the opposite side up and down, frowned and said: "What are you..."
"Woo! Ha! Wuchalum! Woo! Ha..."
The old, weak, sick and disabled trudged hard on the ground and stared, making threatening gestures.
"Understood," Cain nodded with a serious face, turned around and said, "Give me some food."
Li Liang held his forehead and felt that his head was very big.
After holding it in for a long time, he said helplessly: "Take the old man with you and move on."
————
The rest of the journey became a blur. The old, weak, sick and disabled people in Enino were pushing and shoving forward, turning a deaf ear to the human beings' drive. It was more like a group building in a nursing home than an escort.
Li Liang very much hoped to meet a real tribal warrior as soon as possible, or a group of goblins would ambush him. Anyway, the "big sea star" beside him was idle, and he could also watch the "magician" level holy priest. Take action to fight.
Unfortunately, along the way, he didn't find the shadow of the elf's Horcrux in Ling's field of vision, nor was there any magical symbol representing Elune's power. The elf had completely retreated.
Several times, he wanted to throw Enino, the old, weak, sick, disabled, and feral child who were holding him back into a pit, but he thought that there might be some hidden meaning to this weird situation, so he gave up in the end.
After a full hour, the jungle thinned out, and the high wall made of logs by the Enino people was clearly visible.
The team stopped, and some of the Marines were guarding the "prisoners." Li Liang and the rest of the group sped up, passing through an open area similar to a "fire isolation zone" and arriving in front of a high wall.
The assault ship transmitted real-time video. More than 30,000 Enino people were gathering behind the wall, including three tribes of tribal guards from the 'Shaloum' clan.
Li Liang didn't take it to heart at all. With his hands behind his back, he and Cain looked up at the wooden wall that was more than ten meters high, as if they had finally arrived at a scenic spot while traveling.
After the visit, he casually said: "Blow this wall open."
When Ling Ye picked up the psychic beam cannon, amid a series of rumbling sounds, the wooden wall cracked and slowly retracted to both sides.
Tens of thousands of Enino warriors swarmed out.
Then, they all crawled to the ground.
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept across the ground paved with ridges, and he saw the only figure standing behind the high wall.
That particular Enino man was short and crotched, his whole body covered with dark yellow fur. He slowly raised his head to meet his gaze, and under his hood, there were two lines of blood and tears.
