You must know that although the mysterious wave is rising on the mainland, there are also reports of strange or aberrant beast groups being discovered in the wild in the two empires, and even mutations occurring in individual villages and towns. However, as the relatively centralized administrative center of the empire, it can always be eliminated in time.
Therefore, for most members of the army, these legends and anecdotes are quite distant things; even if they encounter them occasionally, they can rely on the strong action power of the army itself to quickly resolve them at the first sign. Therefore, most people I have no experience dealing with such a giant beast.
Just like the magical creatures in ancient myths and historical legends that have come into reality, the huge and unparalleled form is filled with great power and power that makes people tremble and frightened when seen from a distance; The close approach caused some war horses and livestock to panic and panic.
However, this turned out to be a false alarm. Because behind this slow-moving giant beast, there was also a large ornately decorated carriage; it was obviously controlled and driven by someone. Judging from its scarred scales and damaged head and horns, it was obvious that it had suffered a lot.
Then, holding the king's flag with tulips on a black background and the golden sun military flag with a smiling face on a blue background, the heavily armored kingdom knight galloping nearby further proved the opponent's identity. Obviously, this is another great achievement achieved by the so-called Saint King/Knight King, who once again conquered aliens.
However, for the newly arrived Eastern Empire army, this was more outright intimidating and intimidating than the fright and confusion caused before; so much so that as the Imperial Ambassador Meristo, he had to spend a long time , to comfort and comfort the soldiers in the camp.
Then, he started to worry about the next step, the conditions and bargaining chips for subsequent negotiations with the kingdom. But for the Royal Army in Cagliari, this was an absolute surprise. "Your Majesty, this should be an earth-line creature." Giovanni, the classics monk accompanying the army, said:
According to the records of the great underground library of the church in the holy city of Reims. This type of so-called leyline creature is also the type closest to the original ancestor among the descendants of many ancient species, so it is also called the first generation species or the second generation species; and the reason why some individuals are called leyline species biology.
It is because they are mutants that have been infiltrated for a long time in a special geographical environment, or abnormal creatures with various supernormal ability bonuses; but also after being far away from this corresponding geographical environment, the corresponding abilities of the earth-line creatures will be reduced. been weakened to varying degrees.
Therefore, in the records of the classical church, these ancient earth-line creatures are relatively low in the threat sequence; because usually, earth-line creatures will not easily leave the geographical environment that they find suitable, but will only instinctively attack intruders. A powerful alien that has entered the territory.
In addition to the need for regular food and active earth veins, it will ignore the vast majority of relatively weak ordinary people and soldiers; and even the existence of wild beasts in nature. It was like this earth dragon was dragged out of the ground and beaten up just for the sake of killing the demon bird leader.
It was simply an unreasonable disaster; but from another perspective, it was a great blessing among its misfortunes. Because, just like the giant stone man's talent for manipulating earth and stone within a local area, the earth-line creatures also have the natural ability to continuously influence and transform the surrounding environment.
This natural ability to influence the environment was of great potential benefit to the ancient noble lords and even the state power. Because the influence of some earth-line organisms can make the land fertile or make vegetation grow faster, which is called a blessing of abundance.
From this, a primitive worship and priesthood group was formed that specialized in serving and offering sacrifices to earth-line creatures. Then, during hundreds of years of knightly conquests and the accompanying spread of the Catholic faith, it was absorbed into the church and became a characteristic of a certain branch. /The origins of heretical local sectarian groups.
For example, in the Toulouse local church branch in the southwest of the kingdom, there once existed a small religious order that was closely related to the apothecary union and was called the "Prayer of Feng Rang"; it specialized in enshrining a piece of art made from the bones of ancient giant beasts. The completed holy object can produce high-quality green herbs.
The natural ability of this earth dragon is a composite "quagmire" and "water vein"; that is to say, as long as it fully releases its influence, it will loosen the originally hardened land and even guide the underground. The existing water veins turn a large area of the ground into mud.
This is undoubtedly a considerable and valuable innate ability; if used in large-scale reclamation and pioneering, it is simply a coveted artifact for the development of barren and barren lands. Its potential long-term value and significance is even greater than the "manipulation of earth and rocks" of the big stone man.
After all, there are other alternatives to seizing territory and destroying fortified cities; but turning a remote and remote barren land into a peaceful land for farming and production cannot be paid back at any price. This is the natural consciousness of being a descendant of an ancient farming nation.
Therefore, Jiang Tian looked at the big earth dragon who was still in a weakened state even though most of the wounds on his body had been covered by hardened rocks; but he felt vaguely regretful that he had beaten it too hard. But fortunately, there is no chance of recovery. You can slowly eat and cultivate yourself to recover.
Compared with the ores that the big stone man "Shi Potian" likes, especially high-grade rich ores or refined ores, this earth dragon's taste is more omnivorous. In addition to being able to eat the corpses of human-faced monster birds, etc. In addition to the alien flesh and blood rich in mysterious elements, they also eat earth.
After repeated attempts on site, whether it is red soil, black soil, loess, chalk soil, soot soil; even abnormally dry sandy soil, hardened soil rich in gravel and grass roots, or even weathered dregs from city wall buildings; all kinds of They accept all comers regardless of their soil quality, and they have a huge appetite.
But there is only one category that it will never touch, which is the cemetery soil dug from public cemeteries and mausoleums; it seems to be because it is contaminated with certain negative energy elements, which makes the kingdom's abnormal things deal with it. Bureau, another special situation monitoring method has been added.
Therefore, in the end, Jiang Tian took out more than a dozen strange corpses that had been collected from the "Dimensional Bubble", let the chefs simply process and season them, and then fed them to it with his own hands; he then conveyed the message through the yellow crystal in his hand: " You are really born with a holy body of ashes, and you are specially given the name of Great Mengzi."
However, following Jiang Tian's joke, a thought was suddenly transmitted in the reverse direction and appeared on the vision panel: "The earthly creature/earth dragon 'Big Mengzi' you named, wants to establish a primary thinking connection, can you?" Accept?" Jiang Tian chose "Yes" without hesitation."
The next moment, in Jiang Tian's perception, there were some vague emotional reactions originating from the earth dragon "Big Mengzi"; at the same time, he tentatively put his hand on the side of its crown; in an instant, Amidst low exclamations, he put it into the "dimensional bubble" with almost no resistance.
And under the inner view of the "dimensional bubble", in the originally large area of calm water, on the small sandbank island with a radius of more than half a mile, there was also a group of huge beasts wrapped in the bubble; Together with the large stone figures, they were suspended around the core of the green tree on the island to receive nourishment.
With the addition of this earth dragon, some subtle changes seemed to have taken place on the island's sandbank; the originally white gravel ground seemed to have softened and become moistened very slightly. On the other hand, after establishing the connection, Jiang Tian felt the changes in the yellow crystal.
When he holds it in the palm of his hand or carries it close to his body, he seems to be able to actively activate its effects through prompts on the vision panel; he can instantly sense the obvious emotional fluctuations emanating from intelligent creatures within a radius of ten meters. , and shallow thinking reactions.
For example, joy, happiness, sadness, fear, reverence, etc. are emotional tendencies derived from instinctive reactions. Obviously, this is a general auxiliary ability suitable for lie detection and negotiation, which can be used in the subsequent negotiation of interests with the Eastern Empire and the subsequent military alliance.
After all, except for some heinous people, Jiang Tian couldn't just catch a target and force him to sleep directly by pressing his forehead; risking his thinking and consciousness to be distracted, just to obtain a one-time interrogation result. There was also a great harvest, and there was also the little blood demon Theresa.
Since she had absorbed part of the flesh and blood essence of the human-faced demon bird group and the big earth dragon, she was obviously greedy and had severe indigestion. After losing control twice in the hot spring and turning into an adult form, Jiang Tian used the method of stimulating the life essence to suppress it again.
But she has also undergone further transformation from the inside out; in addition to the expansion of the original active absorption range, she also gained the beginning of a new ability called "Resonance". That is to say, through the alien essence and blood that she has absorbed, she can achieve some kind of invisible resonance with more of her kind.
In this case, some alien species that were originally dormant and dormant in underground caves, making it difficult for people to detect and explore, can also be forcibly awakened and activated through her vague perception and blood resonance, and then fall into the abnormal state again. In the Bureau's dragnet.
In other words, some humans with special bloodlines can also activate them from the invisible state through resonance as long as they can obtain enough bloodline characteristic samples. This is much more effective than the "absorption" that can only be done quietly and slowly sucks you to death.
At least, it would be useful for detecting the bloodline inheritance of knights or the mutation probability of new generation hunters. However, as a price for the intense transformation and the birth of new abilities, Teresa, who had been severely exhausted mentally and physically in the hot spring, had already fallen into a deep sleep.
So that night, in the main city of Cagliari, in the newly renovated and decorated Palace of the Holy Cross (Archbishop), a large banquet was held for the Kingdom of Zealand to receive the generals of the Eastern Empire. (End of chapter)
