Chapter 197 Crossing the Miasma Forest(1/2)
Although a satellite is not considered a satellite if it is not in the orbit of the planet, it can still detect nearby terrain even if it is not in orbit.
"Can you see the beast?"
Balliard ignored the threat of miasma and was protected by the fate of the country. The miasma could not penetrate the protection of a layer of will and harm Sivir and Zhang Mingxuan. Balliard and Anne were extraordinary beings, so this kind of miasma had no threat.
"Are you worried about the beast?"
Little Anne turned her head and looked at Balliard. She did not realize Balliard's intention. Ordinary beasts did not pose a threat, and beasts were born with sensitive senses. They could better understand the extraordinary nature of Anne and Balliard.
It is impossible for those who suppress their level of life to have any thoughts of attacking them.
As for beasts at the level of extraordinary beings, would such a thing exist in this world?
"How strong is the beast? Zhang Mingxuan, please give us some popular science... Don't you understand? Just tell me whether the beast here is strong."
There is a bit of a generation gap when communicating with people who were born in a world with a backward civilization level.
"The three major overlords in the jungle are beasts, celestial phenomena, and plants. Among them, beasts are the most aggressive, especially those with tribes. They are a solid barrier for the empire to block the rebels."
Zhang Mingxuan didn't introduce much, he just talked about the beasts at Balliard's request.
"Jungle leopards are the most numerous and pose the greatest threat. If possible, avoid jungle leopards. As for other wild beasts, although they are also threatening, they do not hold grudges like jungle leopards."
"Beasts with tribes? You mean, beasts also have their own national destiny?"
Why does Balliard feel that those jungle leopards are not wild beasts? Although wild beasts also have souls, they have no thoughts and cannot condense a will, let alone condense a huge "national destiny" from such a small base.
"Yes, the beasts have their own destiny, just like those small tribes. Moreover, their destiny is very specific to our national destiny. If the number of beasts were not too small, we might not be able to occupy such a vast land."
Zhang Mingxuan responded to Balliard's doubts. Although he did not understand why the beast had that special national destiny, this was a phenomenon that had existed since ancient times and was common sense. Zhang Mingxuan did not have time to think about why common sense was common sense.
"In terms of human destiny, the world is becoming more and more interesting."
Why target humans? If the new rules of this world are made by that guy Ryze, then with Ryze’s temperament, he wants to protect not only humans, but he will not target humans too much, so,
Why would Ryze do such a thing?
Is it ecological balance? It is possible, but it is not very likely. If wild beasts occupied most of the land in that distant era, then the human race would not be able to enter the farming society for a long time by relying on its own national destiny to kill the wild beasts.
, Magical civilization cannot develop, and scientific and technological civilization has no foundation and can only be accumulated bit by bit.
If there is no powerful civilization in Rune Land, once it is invaded by the void, it will be absolutely helpless to fight back. Just like the space battleships of the cosmic era appeared in primitive society, the void will definitely crush Rune Land.
Therefore, if this kind of destiny for humans was also debugged by Ryze, Ryze wanted to use this to force humans to enter a farming society. After all, the beasts do not have much intelligence and will not be smart enough to unite different ethnic groups to annihilate humans.
Ryze uses this method to force mankind to follow a suitable development path without causing too much harm.
"Let's move forward, we can't waste any more time."
Zhang Mingxuan will still remain vigilant when facing Balliard. He is not like those civil servants. Civil servants are for the country. Civil servants who are loyal to the royal family are actually loyal to the Jin State. They hope that the Jin State can continue to be passed down for eternity.
Immortal, so when the collapse of the Jin Kingdom was inevitable, the first thing the civil servants wanted to do was to restore the country.
As for the military generals, such as Zhang Mingxuan, he is loyal to the royal family and only to this bloodline. Why is Jin not Jin? Jin is not as important as the continuation of the royal bloodline. If he is allowed to make a decision between Jin and the little princess,
Given a choice, he would choose Sivir.
This is why the civil officials initially planned to exile Sivir to an isolated island and did not worry about the safety of the little princess. If the little princess was really exiled to an isolated island, then most of the military commanders loyal to the royal family would follow the little princess to the isolated island.
The last bloodline of the royal family is loyal.
But Wenren Anguo chose another path, which was to restore the country. Although the Jin State has not yet perished, the time is not far away. The civil servants who are loyal to the Jin State will not just watch the Jin State's destruction. They want to take a gamble.
, and this caused a conflict with the military commander line.
Zhang Mingxuan is the head of the Zhang family. He knows how many generals and troops there are in Jin who are loyal to the royal family. However, after realizing that Jin may be destroyed, these generals basically "seek refuge" with the relevant princes. Are they betraying? No, of course.
No, although the number of these generals was not large, they successfully used the princes' money and food to support the royal army.
Maybe it won't be long before the plans of the civilian officials will fall into the eyes of the generals, but so what? They will not make any move, because Sivir is now the bargaining chip for the restoration of the country by the civilian officials. One is the country, and the other is the king.
When the king and the country are together, there is naturally no difference between the two. But now, the princess of Jin has basically no relationship. The generals only want to protect the little princess, rather than becoming a weapon for the literati to restore the country.
Moreover, loyalty sometimes changes over time.
The generals who are now willing to protect Sivir when he travels to an isolated overseas island and protect Sivir's safety throughout his life may not necessarily rebel.
The most urgent task now is to unite the literati and military generals who are loyal to the royal family and the Jin State. How can this be achieved? As long as Sivir shows his determination to restore the country and the corresponding abilities in the City of the Sun, seeing this
There is a high possibility that the military commanders in one scene will join forces with the literati.
"Do you feel anything is wrong?"
Zhang Mingxuan carried the little princess on his back and held a long sword. While cutting the lush vines in the jungle, he looked around. It was very strange. There was not a single bird in the tree, not even the nest, and no animals on the ground. Even if he turned over
There is not a single ant in the soil.
"here……"
Anne also felt that something was wrong here. Even in a city in the space age, not even an ant could be seen. Only the kind of warship that spans the starry sky would have no trace of birds and beasts at all.
"There's nothing wrong. Just leave quickly and get out of this area as soon as possible."
Balliard interrupted Anne's words, and pulled Anne behind him, making a silencing gesture with his fingers.
"real?"
Zhang Mingxuan noticed Balliard's unusual behavior. It was obvious that this place was very weird. If Balliard hadn't urged him to leave, he would have worried whether this was a trap set by these two demons.
"Of course it's true, but don't stay too long on other people's territory... Well, let's go like this, you go first, and I will follow."
Balliard felt a vine in the grass trying to wrap around him. He probably knew what it was, but he must not offend such a thing in the miasma jungle.
"Is it okay?"
Anne glanced at Balliard worriedly. Balliard always liked to hide things from her. They were all teammates, so couldn't they just talk about it? As she thought about it, Anne started to get angry, but
, after seeing Balliard nodding, she followed him honestly.
Balliard stood there watching Annie and Zhang Mingxuan go away, then squatted on the ground, grabbed a vine,
"Where are your torsos? I think we need to have a chat."
Only then did Balliard understand why one of the three overlords of the Miasma Jungle was a plant. However, Zhang Mingxuan should have the same view as him, right? They all thought that the plants in this jungle might contain some toxins.
Human beings have done great harm, such as poisonous fruits or mushrooms.
But now, Balliard understands the real reason why plants dominate the jungle.
As if he understood what Balliard said, a vine jumped up from the ground like a snake, wrapped around Balliard's arm, and dragged Balliard forward.
About fifteen minutes later, Balliard saw a huge flower. The name of this flower was Jielan.
Balliard shook off the vines in his hands and walked towards the buds of Jielan. Just like friends visiting each other, he gently licked the buds of Jielan.
The flower buds bloomed, and suddenly they seemed to turn into a moving mouse trap. It opened its big mouth and wanted to swallow Valliard into its stomach. Then, its "mouth" did not close.
"That's right. Don't try to offend higher beings."
Balliard was a little disappointed. He thought he could see some legendary creature. Sure enough, the rules set by Ryze were still so unbreakable. The wrath of nature did not appear in the world with the help of Jielan's body. However, this kind of creature still has value.
of,
"Let's sign an agreement. I will provide you with enough nutrients. You will slowly grow and spread in this jungle. Be careful not to prey on too many animals and humans. You must have enough nutrients and don't expose them. Of course, in
After I give you nourishment, you must obey my orders, and I will be your master."
Why did Jielan stop her behavior when she was about to swallow Baliard? Because Baliard released a little bit of divine aura. These inhuman creatures have always had extremely sharp senses. At that moment, Jielan
It feels that the thing in front of it is not food, but is more powerful than the top predator. The weak eat the strong, and the weak surrender to the strong. This is a natural truth.
After a brief thought, Jielan shrank back and turned into a bud. At the same time, a vine came out of the bud, entwined some stamens into a bracelet, and handed it to Balliard.
Choose to surrender.
"That's right. You won't regret today's decision."
Balliard opened the ID card, selected the rune casting system, and found a high-quality fertilizer using rune energy crystals as the main material in the synthesis menu. The price was not fair but not expensive, one thousand rune coins per ton.
According to the instructions, this ton of fertilizer can supply nutrients for a transcendent-level plant for a year.
The gap between extraordinary-level plants and ordinary plants is far greater than the gap between mortals and extraordinary ones. It is estimated that one ton of fertilizer can supply the needs of a thousand ordinary plants for a year.
"A thousand tons..."
That is one million rune coins. The City of the Sun is very far away from Ixtar. Even if Azir is reborn, in this world without extraordinary beings, it will take a long time to unify the Shurima continent. Bali
After Yade leaves this time, he may not have the chance to return here for five, six, or even more than ten years.
Therefore, it is better to give more nutrients.
Balliard waved his hand, and bags of fertilizer appeared out of thin air in front of the flower buds, causing Jielan's vines to scatter in all directions.
Have you seen it? Probably so. Jielan is a plant that actively preys on other creatures around it, from ants in the soil to huge exotic beasts. Anything that can move is on their food list.
Therefore, Jielan should be able to see moving substances, and on the other hand, even if Balliard did not move, Jielan was still wrapped around him. So, Jielan can hunt by sensing body temperature?
No matter which one it is, or both, the sudden appearance of freshly baked and warm fertilizer appears out of thin air. For a plant that is difficult to move its trunk position, it is like tens of thousands of people suddenly appearing in the jungle.
An elephant is tumbling, can you not be frightened?
"I think you have also seen this method. These things are very nutritious. If you eat them, maybe your strength can be improved and you can become the leader of your tribe. Don't live up to my expectations of you."
Balliard wanted to take a look at how powerful the rules set by Ryze were to restrict the plants in this world? Theoretically speaking, Jielan should be able to advance to become a
To be continued...
