Chapter 840: A Shocking Harvest
The search and rescue team was unable to pull the summoned person out of the distorted crevices.
They could only watch as he wriggled his broken body and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Later, the search and rescue team found the blood and skin fragments of two more superhumans in the other two crevices.
The average width of the two crevices was not even more than five centimeters.
No one knew how the three superhumans managed to squeeze into the crevices.
No one knew where they managed to squeeze into the crevices that became narrower, more distorted, and darker.
In the mere span of ten days to half a month, similar incidents kept happening.
The number of mysterious incidents that resulted in human deaths had already exceeded double digits.
In reality, that had also been a normal phenomenon when exploring the ancient ruins.
Back then, when humans had excavated Ancient Ruins No. 1 at the center of Dragon City, they had encountered even more unusual and mysterious incidents.
It was the Blood Alliance that had used the most brutal force to force tens of thousands of innocent citizens to forcefully use their lives to carve a b.l.o.o.d.y path in the depths of Ancient Ruins No. 1.
Only then could the earthlings absorb the ancient civilization’s nutrients and establish their own spirit cultivation, runic technology, and biochemical modulation system.
Compared with the ancient civilization, the current Earth civilization was even more childish than a three-year-old child.
Allowing a three-year-old child to barge into an armory filled with weapons of ma.s.s destruction and suffer casualties was a high probability event.
There was basically no good solution to the mysterious incidents that happened during exploration.
Unless most people were evacuated and the pace of exploration, research, and cultivation was slowed down, it would take decades or even hundreds of years to slowly and steadily excavate the armory.
However, that was impossible.
Although all the major forces had suffered heavy casualties in Ruins No. 2, the grandson of a Deity Realm powerhouse was still alive.
Even the grandson of a Deity Realm powerhouse had gone mad. His brain and blood vessels had all exploded, while half of his cerebral cortex had been burned. He had become a cripple.
However, no one was willing to leave the monster’s lair.
Even though they knew that the danger of exploring the ruins was increasing day by day, they still continued to send more troops there, and add investments of funds, equipment, as well as personnel.
There was nothing they could do about it. Ruins No. 2 was simply too tempting.
Ruins No. 1, which was located at the center of Dragon City, should be the Ancients’ remains.
Although the Ancients were intricately related to the people of Earth, it was very likely that they were Earthlings’ original gene providers.
However, unlike the people of Earth who had just experienced the Industrial Revolution and were still unable to break away from the shackles of their flesh and blood, the Ancients had already embarked on the path of Spirit Ascension. They had gradually advancing from carbon-based life to the form of pure energy life.
The usage of spirit energy by the Ancients had already reached the peak and perfection. To a large extent, they were no longer bound to matter.
That brought about two problems.
First, there were not many relics that could be preserved intact for hundreds of millions of years in Ruins No. 1. After all, the Ancients did not place much importance on matter!
Even the metal plate that predicted the Earthlings’ transmigration to the Other World had seemingly been randomly drawn by an Ancient before he died.
Second, even if there were some relics engraved with spirit tattoos and runes that had not been completely eroded by time, the people of Earth might not be able to develop its full value.
It was like letting primary school students read university textbooks. Even if they could recognize every word and link them together, G.o.d knew what they meant!
Therefore, although the Dragon City civilization had been developing Ruins No. 1 for half a century, many projects were still down to guesswork and blind luck.
However, Ruins No. 2 was different.
It was the mother’s body and corpse.
Although the mother and the monsters it gave birth to looked nothing like the people of Earth from the outside…
They were both pure carbon-based creatures. In terms of cell structure, gene sc.r.a.ping, and the absorption, as well as utilization of spirit energy, they were very similar.
As the creation of the Ancients, the mother was one level lower than the Ancients in terms of technology.
However, it was just right for Earthlings who were of the same level to study and research it.
In just one or two months, humans had already absorbed more nutrients from the second monument than they had from exploring the first monument for three to five years.
The formula for the new genetic medicine…
The secret method to stimulate the special parts of the brain and increase the mind’s attack power…
And the new construction model of the spirit magnetic field could allow superhumans to obtain the innate skills of some superbeasts.
Each of them was a super technique that could bring about a world-shaking change in a certain domain. They could also make a certain interested party rise in power, and even greatly increase the Dragon City’s overall combat strength.
Not to mention, while the number of superhumans who died tragically in the depths of the ruins were in two digits, the same number of superhumans broke through the peak of Earth Realm. One after another, they became Heaven Realm experts!
As for the small realm improvement from one star to two stars and from two stars to three stars, it was like a crucian carp crossing the river. It was not worth mentioning.
This was perhaps the largest successful group of superhumans in Dragon City after the Red Radiance Jade outbreak on the Raging Waves Mountain Range.
The vitality magnetic fields of countless superhumans collided, stirred, and resonated there.
As the saying went, “proximity to cinnabar makes you red, to pitch makes you black.”[1] Even superhumans who had been cultivating arduously and been unable to find the opportunity to break through, could obtain results that they could not obtain before after cultivating in the outside world for ten to eight years. The reason was that they would be guided and influence by other “breakthroughs.”
Even Meng Chao was able to show signs of breaking through to the peak of Heaven Realm so quickly. On one hand, it was the ancient information and decisive battle memories provided by the brain that had nourished his brain and nerves. On the other hand… was it not also the resonance of countless superhumans’ vitality magnetic field that had helped him?
Besides, ever since the end of the Monster War, the fog surrounding Monster Mountain Range had begun to dissipated faster and faster.
According to expert a.n.a.lysis, in a year at the latest, there would no longer be any barrier between Dragon City and the vast Other World continent.
At that time, the people of Dragon City could kill their way out unscrupulously.
The natives of the Other World outside could also kill their way in unscrupulously.
Since they had won the Monster War cleanly, they had captured the mother’s two brains and read a large amount of ancient information.
Compared with the Dragon City in his previous life, the civilization today paid a lot of attention to the indigenous civilization that very likely existed in the Other World.
It was so much so that in Meng Chao’s opinion, he was a little scared of himself.
In the situation where they had yet to see the entire Other World, the only thing that the people of Dragon City could do was to use all means, no matter the cost, to cultivate crazily and improve themselves.
In contrast to the harvest from developing Ruins No. 2, not to mention the double-digit casualties, even if the number of casualties was multiplied by a hundred times, it was still a price that could be endured, or even ignored.
After all, in order to conquer the Hidden Mist Domain and destroy the monster civilization, Dragon City’s civilization was already prepared to grit their teeth and bear the casualties of several million Red Dragon Army troops and tens of thousands of superhumans!
The fear of death was no match for the temptation of leveling up even if the danger of Ruins No. 2 was increasing day by day.
There were still more superhumans who were sharpening their minds. If they wanted to enter the monsters’ lair, it would at least be the sinkhole or the Hidden Mist Domain, to cultivate.
There were many monks and not enough gruel, many wolves and not enough meat. The biggest problem now was not that there were not enough “volunteers” who had stepped forward to explore the ruins.
Rather, unlike the superhumans’ increasing enthusiasm for cultivation, the corresponding cultivation resources were seriously insufficient.
Plus, the limited cultivation resources, especially those that took billions of years and extreme conditions of high temperature and high pressure to condense, were extremely rare and precious. Who should enjoy them? That was another huge and complicated problem.
Even if the Lan Enclosure Decree brought a hundred disadvantages, there was at least one great advantage: It clearly defined the owners.h.i.+p of the cultivation resources.
Whoever conquered a certain area, all the resources contained in it would belong to them.
It was simple and clear, and it could be operated easily. Moreover, in theory, it was fair, open, and just.
Furthermore, the amount of resources contained in a unit area of an ordinary wilderness area was not so abundant that it was full of pits and valleys.
A few crystal ore veins with low reserves and grades were not enough to make the major forces of Dragon City fall out with each other.
However, the Hidden Mist Domain was different.
First of all, the battle to attack the Hidden Mist Domain was part of Dragon City’s general mobilization, and all the forces acted together.
From the Red Dragon Army to the mega corporations, from small and medium-sized enterprises to the alliance of universities, from the four major research inst.i.tutes to the Hunter’s a.s.sociation, from Dragon City’s secret police to the Abnormal Beast Research Department… all the organizations, forces, and individuals went out in full force and did their best.
From the Deity Realm warrior to the ordinary soldiers, many of them were left with irreversible serious injuries and even paid with their lives.
It was hard to say who had contributed more and who was more qualified to obtain the monster civilization’s legacy.
Second of all, the cultivation resources in the Hidden Mist Domain were more abundant and advanced than those in the outside world.
Many resources were enough to help a first-cla.s.s expert whose cultivation realm had stagnated to complete an explosive leap and become a super first-cla.s.s fighter. From there, the forces that he belonged to would rise to a higher level.
There were also some resources that, if they fell into the Red Dragon Army’s hands, would be enough to completely upgrade the railway guns’ combat parameters and turn them into killing weapons. Then, they could truly level dozens of miles with a single shot.
There was also an extremely important and exclusive resource.
It was s.p.a.ce.
The s.p.a.ce within the mother was limited. At the same time, it could only accommodate a certain number of superhumans cultivating inside.
Many large-scale research instruments could only fit inside at a time.
Many of the mother’s dormant cells could only withstand one stimulation. After obtaining precious experimental data, they would turn into bubbles and vanish into thin air.
Who was most qualified to enjoy the high-level crystal found only in the Hidden Mist Domain?
Who could enter the monsters’ lair, occupy the mother’s core s.p.a.ce, and cultivate day and night?
Who could touch the giant brain and micro brain at will, as well as use scientific research instruments to a.n.a.lyze the mysteries of the ancient era?
With regard to these questions, between the nine mega corporations and the Red Dragon Army, between the Dragon City’s secret police and the Abnormal Beast Research Department, between the alliance of the five universities and Dragon City University, between the children of humble families and the children of wealthy families… there was only animosity. They all refused to give up a single inch of land.
