High Above

The sacrificial hall located halfway up the mountain is majestic and majestic. It has stood in the wind and frost for hundreds of years. The gray outer walls are covered with dense wind-eroded frost marks.

It was the temple where the Jiamu tribe used to pray to the Dragon God. Now it is also the core of power in the true sense of the Jiamu tribe. The chief's residence and the prayer hall of the priests are built around it.

In addition, the main hall itself is also a fortress that goes deep into Jiamu Mountain. At critical moments, the mountain can be used to protect a considerable number of mountain residents and withstand possible heavy rains and natural disasters.

There are Ascendants stationed here.

When Ian observed before, he saw three dark blue fogs staying in the hall. It is the priest of Jiamu tribe.

There are only two systems of inheritance among the tribes of mountain people: the bloodline of the chief and the bloodline or true form of the priest.

Whichever side is stronger is the de facto ruler of the tribe, but more often than not, it is a cycle based on age and inheritance.

Of course, there are also cases where the chief and the priest are the same person.

For example, in the Avud tribe, Elder Manya holds two positions, so he is called the Great Elder.

But now, because of the chaos in the alchemy workshop, all three priests went to observe the situation.

They sensed something was wrong. The strange movements of the Steel Winged Dragon had already puzzled them, and now, the chaos within their own tribe made the leading priest even more alert.

——If you stay, you will definitely suffer disaster. You must leave quickly!

Leave one person behind to guard the main hall?

What a joke! The opponent's strength is obviously at the second level. The three of them at the first level must always stick together, gather troops, and use the heavy firepower and alchemical weapons supported by Feiyandi to pose a threat to the opponent.

At this time, the most important thing is to protect people first.

As for possible losses... the secret vault in the main hall is so deeply hidden that even at the second level, it will be impossible to find it for a while, and even if it is found, there is no way to open it.

If the intruder did not leave, but was greedy and wanted to get more, then he would definitely be dragged down by the many inscription traps and formations in the hall, and be surrounded by their large army!

When the time comes, when the Steel Winged Dragon returns, they may be able to make great achievements!

This is indeed the right decision.

Ian, who had already arrived at the entrance of the hall, didn't mind killing a few more ascendants from the Jiamu tribe, but they had already left, so he wouldn't waste time and went back to the tribe to snipe them.

At this moment, Ian has placed the element crystal condenser in the back mountain of Chonglin Department, leaving the transmitter to guide the way.

Qingchao and others will arrive soon, and the local Fiotto priest will also leave with the members of their tribe who are willing to join the Xiahui leader, which can be regarded as a cover for the transportation team.

And the reason why he returned to Jiamube was to see what good things there were in Jiamube's secret treasury, which had received support from Feiyandi and plundered the treasuries of several defeated tribes!

"There are two cyan mist, third energy level. There are quite a few traps. Aren't they afraid of accidentally touching them?"

With the spiritual halo flashing in his eyes, Ian could see all the secrets in the hall.

Can't find the secret library? Can’t see the trap? You know, after Ian awakened his precognitive vision, the first thing he did was to observe his brother and look for sleeping powder.

Professional counterpart belongs to yes.

The secret library is located at the back side of the main hall, under a statue of the Dragon God. The entrance is usually blocked by the statue, and a special key is required to open the mechanism and remove the statue.

Ian could use brute force, but he was too lazy to waste energy, so he scanned the structure with a silver chip and pinched the dust and ice on the spot.

Clang.

The key melted, and many dangerous inscription traps were also lifted. The Dragon God statue slowly rotated to the left, revealing a door leading to the depths of Jiamu Mountain.

Ian stepped into it.

The downward passage was quite narrow at first, but after a moment it suddenly became clear - underneath the main hall was a natural cave in the heart of the mountain, with bursts of white cold air seeming to materialize, clinging to the ground like clouds and mist.

It was originally supposed to be a warehouse for the Jiamu tribe to store grain reserves. Later, as the tribe grew, the cave was covered by the main hall and became a secret storehouse.

The secret warehouse is full of densely packed shelves. It is extremely cold, about minus 52 degrees. A continuously running inscription circuit is continuously cooling, and rows of sealed storage cabinets are neatly placed on both sides of the cave.

This is actually very similar to the storage room that Ian saw in the Avod tribe. It seems that the mountain people's architectural planning in this regard is indeed similar.

At this moment, Ian suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

Gu Long's heart core trembled slightly, making the young man pause. He felt it carefully, and then raised the corner of his mouth: "It seems that there will definitely be a big harvest this time."

The last time the ancient dragon's heart core trembled, it was Ian who obtained the brain crystal of the Swamp Crocodile Dragon.

As a material for earth-type dragon-blood monsters, brain marrow crystals can be used to repair the damaged structure of the ancient dragon's heart core. There is also a similar dragon-blood material in Jiamube's secret library, which can cause the heart core to tremble.

Cyan spiritual radiance lit up in his eyes. For a moment, from Ian's perspective, the originally dark and dim cave suddenly turned into a fairyland of blue and purple, with streaks of light and mist like auroras and clouds lingering and interweaving to form a A breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Ian slowly walked through each storage cabinet. He could see through those sealed storage cabinets the many treasures that were carefully preserved in them.

"Magic light crystals, thunder-impregnated stones, alchemical silver... are all extremely high-quality treasures. With the phantom light crystals, we can build more light prism cannons."

After glancing at it, Ian looked at another shelf with great interest: "The thin wing membrane of the Flame Attack Bat, the steel wings of the Boom Cicada, the poisonous roots of the Yuxin Snake Tree... These are all Warcraft materials, some It is also a specialty of the Flying Flame Land. The Yuxin Snake Tree is a special type of life between animals and plants. I remember that it is only distributed in the Flying Fire Land and the Seven Cities Alliance... Oh, there are also many in the Dark Mountains. "

"Not bad! There is actually the thunder pupil of the giant blue-eyed owl - paired with the prepared thunder-hunting jellyfish, it can be used to make the true form of the 'Aurora Titan' potion...Scott's potion is complete."

Although Ian can buy it himself, buying it by himself is not as good as snatching it from others.

Ian happily inspected the secret library as if he were visiting his own collection.

He could tell that a lot of materials had not always been kept here, but had been moved here recently.

Jiamube has not fought any victorious battles or big hunts recently.

Obviously, the treasures of other tribes were moved here.

Not long after, he found the material that made Gu Long's heart tremble slightly.

The cyan light mist rotates.

【The Heart-protecting Shell of the Pure Dust Dragon】

[Third energy level·Complete body·Cornerstone·Edible]

[The heart shell of a wingless flying dragon that lives in the cavity of the ephemeral dust and flies with powerful magnetic force. Flying dragons that feed on underground insects have a very low ecological niche, but they have a violent and irritable personality. Any creature that dares to invade their nest will be crushed into dust, which will then be burned away by the powerful magnetic field and become a source of nourishment for the underground. Ecological fertilizer]

[It can be used as a potion material, but it can only be made into a physical 'pill'. After burying it in the flesh and blood of the chest, bury yourself in the land containing high-quality source matter, and resonate with the earth's magnetic field for a few days. Slowly merge]

[Contains the essence: 14952·8367 core units]

【……】

"There is even a ritual for taking potions? It's so comprehensive and scientific."

Ian didn't hesitate, he stepped forward and opened the safe.

The blue light suddenly brightened, and the light overflowing from the cabinet illuminated Ian's face and the entire cave, just like the aurora in the northern sky.

In the center of the light is a translucent heart shell that is half the size of a human being. The crystal material has dense light silver lines crisscrossing it. The source material visible to the naked eye flows in it, causing it to flicker on and off indefinitely, outlining one after another. An almost substantial Sephiroth structure.

Ian sensed an extremely powerful magnetic field washing through his body.

Like the Steel Winged Dragon, the Clean Dust Dragon is a dragon that mainly controls magnetism. However, the former is a giant dragon that is similar to a blue whale and feeds on plankton, while the latter is a predator similar to a shark.

The Heart-protecting Shell of the Pure Dust Dragon is not among the potion materials selected for the third-level ‘Lord of Stone’ in Fudo City. It is more inclined to those true forms with thunder attributes.

Aurora Titan's third-level 'Sky Sea Ferryman' requires the magnetic wing bones of the Great Warcraft-level Steel Winged Dragon, and the Heart Protector Shell can also be used.

The Lord of Stone needs those Warcraft materials that can more directly control material elements, such as silicon, iron, calcium, and aluminum. Among them, silicon is the first choice because it is abundant in the material world and the material is quite good.

But just as Hilliard hoped, Ian did not intend to follow the imperfect design route left by his teacher.

Apart from being a top genius, Hilliard himself does not have any talents worth mentioning. For example, he does not have Ian's 'precognitive vision'.

Well, except for those prophets who are still doubtful in the entire Terra, it is basically impossible for anyone else to have stronger psychic essence than Ian, but it is precisely because Hilliard is not a prophet, so he needs the Silver Ice Dragon. The eyes serve as one's own observation organs.

There is a limit to the amount of source material structure that a person can carry, and the more source matter structures there are, the more source matter needs to be consumed. Even at the fourth energy level, all powerful people have etheric true bodies. He will not always maintain his full power form and waste his lifespan for no reason - since Hilliard has consumed this part for his observation ability, his pure power has been reduced.

Of course, most bloodline true forms have sublimation organs related to observation, but Ian does not need them.

He already has the silver chip and psychic powers, he just needs to go all out to increase his power.

In this case... In addition to the structures related to the dragon's blood, which can repair the core of the ancient dragon, the remaining magnetic field-related structures of the heart-protecting shell can be used to make semi-magic potions!

"I can control a material element, and additionally control magnetism... The magnetic field force can sideways control those metals that are easily magnetized, and another material element that is not easily magnetized is paired with it, allowing me to control most materials. elements, enriching the striking surface and adaptability.”

Staring at the protective shell in front of him, many related designs and future plans flashed through Ian's mind.

To be honest, after seeing the battle between the Second Prince and King Tianhong, and knowing that the Mountain King single-handedly suppressed the Steel Winged Dragons and balanced the strategic situation in Nanling, he felt a little anxious.

In this extremely deep world of Terra, if you want to truly reach the point where "everything in the world is accessible", the third energy level is the basic requirement. If you want to protect a party and become the leader of a force, the fourth level is just the beginning.

According to the calculations of the insect swarm and the spiritual disaster path, Ian still has a lot of time to work hard, but this is not a reason to relax, but a spur.

"Anyway, accept it first. In the future... take your time."

Raising his hand and closing the safe, Ian smiled: "At least, now I have a choice. If it really doesn't work, the ability to control the magnetic field to advance to the third level and control other material elements can be used as a semi-magic potion. It’s not impossible.”

"Now... let's see if there are any other good things."

In addition to the Heart-protecting Shell of the Pure Dust Dragon, there is also a third-level Warcraft material in the secret vault, but it is the fire-type ‘Earth Molten Snake Vertebrae’.

It is extremely sharp and can activate the source material to create a flame blade that is more than fifteen meters long. If it is in the hands of a fire sublimator, it may be possible to create a genuine forty-meter long knife.

This is probably a material used to make sublimated weapons. Ian himself is of the water and earth elements, Qing Chao is of the water element, Scott and Shark are both of the thunder element, and there is really no need for fire element materials.

However, Ian thought of Isengard.

Isengard's Eclipse Dragon bloodline is biased toward fire and wind. This young master of the Ellen family really has nothing to say to him. Ian also thinks that he should give something in return - now he has a New Year's gift.

Even the Ellen family has to put in some effort to obtain the third-level Warcraft materials, which is completely sufficient.

These are the two most valuable Warcraft materials in the secret library.

Ian doesn't particularly care about other ordinary materials - when he defeats Jiamube in the future, won't these things belong to him?

"The materials for the Clean Dust Dragon are most likely part of the magic potion materials supported by Feiyan Land, but the chief of the Jiamu tribe didn't use them when he advanced. He took another path. The others were probably looted from other The tribe gets the blessings of the people."

Using the source material to lift two safes, Ian walked out of the hall.

The chaos in the workshop area has been largely calmed down, but the two steel pterosaurs have not returned yet - based on the amount of medicine he administered, the one that was hit might not wake up until night.

There was still time, so Ian found Chief Jiamu's residence. There was nothing good in it, but he found a diary with scrawled writing on it from the desk.

"Who is a serious person who keeps a diary? That's despicable!"

Having said that, Ian still opened the diary and read it with great interest.

As he thought, most of the chief's diary contained boasts and records of his own actions.

For example, if Fei Yan had not provoked conflicts, the empire would have continued to exploit and ignore the mountain people. The reason why he started the war of independence was because he was oppressed by the empire to the point where he had to resist.

For example, the reason why I agreed to cooperate with Feiyandi to spread biological viruses was to warn those numb compatriots that as long as they were muddle along, the empire would use subtle food policies to completely corrode the mountain people - I was Kasuga The thunder is to wake everyone up to take action!

For another example, he squeezed other mountain people who had lost their leaders, essentially so that they could have a bite to eat. A tribe without a leader and ascendant should have been disbanded. It was because of his kindness that in order to prevent the inheritance from being cut off, he spent his tribe's rations to feed those people and maintain the name of the tribe.

In this case, what's wrong with asking them to put in some effort to work?

As for the money from selling the grain, he naturally had to settle the accounts, and he had already put those materials into a secret treasury.

"Deceiving yourself? You just hypnotized yourself!"

Ian was a little shocked when he saw this.

What the third level requires is firm confidence, but he didn't expect Chief Jiamu's confidence to be such unwarranted confidence.

He believed that what he did was entirely for the good of the mountain people, and his actions of bullying the mountain people of other tribes were also a gift.

——You can’t live without me!

A few hundred years ago, this idea... might have been okay. But it’s almost Terra 774, why are we still practicing this primitive slavery? If we don’t seek a harmonious society, why not try some feudalism or capitalism?

But considering that the mountain people have indeed lagged behind the times in the past two hundred years, Ian couldn't help but sigh: "I thought my morals were low enough and I had done a lot of bad things... Now it seems that it was just stealing some potion materials and techniques. Little treacherous little evil.”

"In this regard, I did lose!"

Shaking his head, Ian quickly flipped through the last few pages of the diary. He originally thought that Chief Jiamu's diary contained no information worth paying attention to except for the transaction with Feiyandi.

But soon, his eyes widened.

"Construct Knight?!" Ian was stunned: "There is actually a team of Construct Knights hidden in Nanling?!"

Damn it, Tingri and Mao both asked for leave, and I really want to ask for leave too!
