Chapter 150 75. End of the Adventure
"Thunder Lizard!" Darkus, riding on the pterosaur, exclaimed as he looked at the moving hills on the horizon of the northern jungle.
The footsteps of the Thunder Lizard shook the earth, and even Darkus, who was riding on the pterosaur, seemed to be able to feel it. The jungle canopy fell with the movement of the thunder lizard's footsteps. When the team members took turns to climb up to the pterosaur to watch, the thunder lizard let out a deafening roar, then launched a charge, leaving behind a trail of thousands of miles long. Meters of broken trees and trampled vegetation marks its passage.
A Kraken sea monster bursts out of the sea and onto the beach, and the battle begins.
"If there was a system, wouldn't there be an achievement of witnessing the battle of giant monsters? And why is this octopus so flexible on land?" Darkus thought as he controlled the pterosaur to hover in the air. The pterosaur performed very well. He resisted, but he had no intention of witnessing the battle at close range, and simply watched from a distance. He thought about last night's recklessness again. If it was not the shark-headed monster that washed up on the beach, but the Kraken sea monster, it would be fun.
The Thunder Lizard was biting and trampling, and the giant octopus-like Kraken Kraken was also attacking with hundreds of tentacles covered with cruel suckers and vicious barbs. It also tried to drag the Thunder Lizard without any martial ethics. Go to the sea. The battle between the giant monsters was inextricable. Darkus had eaten melon all morning. The two giant monsters used all kinds of tricks, including death rolls and death coils, but neither could do anything to the other. .
"Trouble, I have to deal with this thing after Chapeiuto rises." Darkus looked at it for a long time, still trying to find something missing. But he felt that these two giant monsters seemed to have a sense of fate? Fighting often, just like making a fight? Then no one can do anything to anyone? He also thought about the danger that the Kraken sea monster would bring to ships after Chapeiuto was raised and used as a port.
When I came down and listened to Akadan's story, it turned out that these two giant monsters had fought before. One battle lasted for nearly eight days, which was a week, and destroyed a large area of the jungle. The battles at that time all reached the city of Mist, the outskirts of Slann Wupek, and many Slann lords passed by. Although many Slann lords gathered their magical power, the Slann lords were still unable to penetrate these two giant monsters. Crazy thoughts drive them away. When the warring giant monsters finally left, completely unaware of the damage they had wrought in the battle, countless irreplaceable relics were destroyed along with the ancient Lost Pyramid, which had escaped the ravages of the Great Invasion, but not that one Disaster.
But that disaster only happened once. Fortunately for the lizardmen, the thunder lizards are very rare. They are so rare that there are only two in the Lustria continent, and the jungles of the Lustria continent are so vast. The lizardmen and the thunder lizards The two species rarely come into contact. If the roar or sighting of a thunder lizard is heard in the distance, skinks moving in the jungle and pterosaur riders patrolling the sky will head to the nearest temple city to sound the alarm. To prevent the Thunder Lizard from causing damage like Slanwupeck when it approaches. The awakened Slann Lord will influence the Thunder Lizard's mind, forcing the Thunder Lizard to deviate from the temple city and take another path through the jungle.
The Drukhi who came down began to discuss one after another. They were discussing the specific size, weight, war value, etc. of the Thunder Lizard, and they were arguing fiercely during the discussion.
Darkus was not interested in discussing, and stood in the distance looking at the group of Druchi strangely. He didn't know why these Druchi believed that the Thunder Dragon Lizard would be used by them? However, he believed that the Thunder Lizard should be used as a combat platform capable of rushing into formations. It would be like an earthquake when the opposing military formations stood unsteady. But he can't afford it at the moment, so he'll wait until next time.
Anyway, the Thunder Lizard will not suddenly disappear during this period, and the Thunder Lizard will not come to Kauchen Plain under normal circumstances. The vegetation on Kauchen Plain cannot support such a large Thunder Lizard. Darkus saw in the morning that the Thunder Lizard was taking pills. This pill was not a pill, but a piece of jungle.
Soon the team set off again. Darkus did not leave the pterosaur rider behind for observation. There were rhynchids nearby. Miraculously, the druchis did not gamble this time. Maybe they did not look back in shock. god.
The marching route seemed not right. Half the time on the way, I was knocking on turtle shells. These five-meter-long dragon turtles were scattered on the beach after laying eggs. When they saw Darkus' team, they directly attacked. The team should interrupt or Getting too close to the dragon turtles angered them. However, the dragon turtle's attacks were repeated over and over again with bites and tramples. The giant lizard and lizard warriors did not fight with any skillful methods, and they could not play with it. Instead, they used pure brute force to smash the dragon turtle's shell with spikes. When it was smashed open, it was the giant lizard Kami who wielded the fist of the god Quiteli and smashed it the most vigorously. The lizards and monitor lizards in front were smashing them, while the skink lizards in the back were picking up dragon turtles and turtle eggs.
"The explosion rate is so high!" Darkus thought, he had already thought about what to eat tonight.
The team marched on the beach recklessly, and Darkus really couldn't believe that two Kraken sea monsters could appear in this place at the same time. The team quickly passed through the flame swamp and mangrove coastal jungle, and arrived near the small mountain range. As they got closer, he could hear the screams more clearly.
Sure enough, under the search of Sou Shan's experienced skink, he discovered an extremely hidden large cave entrance, and a new adventure began again. The cave is made of gray marble, but there are signs of being burned a long time ago. The further you go inside, the hotter it becomes. From time to time, you can still hear the screams coming from inside, and this time the Druchi and Skinks in the team also said they heard it.
"Sir, it looks like there's a salamander down there?" The pirate who was walking at the front stopped his progress in time. He stretched out his hand to signal the team behind to stop and said uncertainly.
"Molten Gold Maar! It's actually here!" Akadan walked over, looked over, and whispered in surprise.
Once it was the temple city of ghosts, the symbol of Talax. With the arrival of the Great Invasion, the wave of Chaos Demons destroyed Talax. After struggling to break through, it became desperate and began to wander in the jungles of Lustria with a vengeance. It slaughters all kinds of invaders, lizardmen and natives indiscriminately. It believes that these creatures are either demons or failed guardians. Everyone is afraid of this angry and manic beast. No one dares to challenge it, but After a while, the giant beast disappeared and became a legend.
Darkus was worried that this manic giant beast would suddenly spit out flames, so after taking safety measures, he cautiously stuck his head out to take a look. No matter how bright the light is, as long as you are not blind you can see an ancient salamander with a head and a whole body that is crimson under the pit. This Molten Gold Maar was larger than the ancient salamander in the team. It seemed that there was magma flowing under the skin, but he also saw the mark of Iqi on the head of the Molten Gold Maar.
At this time, the sleeping molten gold Maar opened his eyelids after neighing, and stared at Darkus with his cold eyes. After stretching his body lying on the ground, he actually stood up with his hind legs on the ground. It felt like a black bear begging for food in a bear pit. Thanks to the mark of Iqi and the mysterious power he received in the Shwedagon Pagoda of Iqi, this molten gold malar sounded to have an extremely violent personality. He actually didn't spit fireballs to attack him.
Later, Umak of Ancient Saint Iqi tried to communicate with Ancient Saint Iqi's pet. Umak said that there was nothing he could do now and that he would wait a while to get the pet up.
There is no way, this marble pit is too deep, and Molten Gold Maar is different from other ancient salamanders. It seems to have a scorching aura effect on its body, and its hot skin makes other creatures inaccessible. Darkus probably has to hollow out the mountain, and then use a complete set of heat-resistant suits to get close to it. If this guy is released, A run around the Cockchen Plain would surely start a fire.
When Darkus returned to the camp, he saw the previous vision. The skinks of Holoto wore straw hats and held corncob pipes to collect groundwater to irrigate the cultivated farmland. Some skinks had robes on their shoulders. Some skinks are decorated with feathers fallen from the male Couchen Chocobo, and some are carrying satchels woven from alpaca. As if he had really arrived in South America, he wanted Ren to draw a "self-portrait wearing a straw hat and a pipe" for the skinks.
Farming in the Middle Ages involved magical winds and had nothing to do with science. Tropical soil leaching, potato disease, red soil and black soil are not within the scope of Darkos's consideration. As far as he knows, when summer comes in Krakalond, the noble manor owners will invite the dark system in the Tower of Destruction. The sorceress performs some tricks. This time he did not ask Lord Slann to use his methods, nor did he ask Copti to use the advanced magic he had just learned. Under the careful care of the skink farmer, the crops grow according to the natural cycles of the medieval world. He also wants to see if there are any natural disasters and wild beast disasters such as typhoons passing through.
Holoto's skink learned from Itaza and cooperated with Hesiota's skink to build a dome greenhouse with limited materials, and collected a large number of insects from the waterholes in the mangrove coastal jungle to raise them. In the words of Yakadan, who has traveled extensively and extensively, the climate there is hot and insects grow larger than in the jungle to the north. Darkos knew that the lizard people's agriculture was divided into three parts, insects, meat and a small number of crops, but it still depends on the specific situation.
The team dug a large cellar on a relatively high ground to keep the meat away from the wrath and sun of the ancient Saint Cotego and keep it in a relatively fresh state. They also built an insect breeding room in the cellar.
A slave master like Darkus who is full of humanistic care will definitely let the talents who come to pioneer experience the heat and warmth of the new world. At that time, the newcomers will be given equipment "simple straw hats", high-protein, high-nutrition insect feasts and sour refreshments. The fruit wine is also arranged. The most important thing is that he is kind and does not charge taxes. Who dares to be unhappy then?
In addition, the skinks also found a large number of berries and bracken from the mangrove coastal jungle. This plant is considered a medical product for the skinks? They are known to be used to smear or eat on bites and serious wounds. More important than these is a magical jungle lotus. This thing is like cats encounter catnip to skinks. Smoking this jungle lotus is more exciting than smoking the leaves.
In short, the jungle on the mangrove coast is a good place. It is not big but rich in products. There are no giant animals inside, only a few leopards, and the mountain next to it is still a marble mountain.
Time passed day by day. During this period, Darkus went south, passing through the southern outpost, avoiding the Twilight Fortress of Assur, and went to the Lost City, Kaiax and the Outsider City. trip. In the end, nothing was found. The remaining ruins are like the temple city satellite city in the Lustria jungle. It can only be regarded as a settlement. There are no stone slabs or treasures. Maybe the great invasion started during the construction. Are we forced to suspend construction? He didn't think there would be any collected slates in the Twilight Fortress. These Asur knew the rules. If there were, the lizardmen would have already sent out troops to hammer these asurs, instead of closing their eyes and pretending that these asurs did not exist, they would also help these asurs when necessary. After that, Darkus began to experience the farm life. He would get up in the morning to practice martial arts, bask in the sun, ride a big guy like a cowboy and lasso Chocobo, and occasionally go to the fields to pretend to help. The cold lizards and giant beasts in the team were no longer locked up, and were running freely on the Kaochen Plain. Only the Eye of the Storm found a place to lie there and continue to absorb the magical wind. Kalien flew back to Auxiao with several Druchi animal trainers. He said he was careless, but he sounded interested. Anyway, he had nothing to do now. He was going to use the method of the Druchi animal trainer to try to train some rhinoceros riders.
Under the devastation of typhoons and rain, the crops matured day by day, and the results were fully demonstrated. The Kauchen Plain can be regarded as another beginning of Dakoos's great cause.
Darkus knew that a new adventure had begun, and he visited the Molten Gold Maar again. After once again making it clear that he would get it back next time, the team came to Spicazuma. As for when the next time would be, he also He didn't say anything, and Molten Gold Mahr didn't ask either.
From one promised land to another, everything except the tobacco leaves were picked, and other crops, wooden houses and cellars were placed there.
Arkadan did not choose to return to Spicazuma. After bidding farewell to Darkus and the Druchi, he headed north from the Kauchen Plains and continued to walk through the jungles of Lustria, fulfilling the responsibility of the Skink Prophet.
This is the end of Darkus's investigation trip to the Lustria continent. From the City of the Sun, Hesiota, he went all the way south to the Lost City, Kaiax. Like a false monk, he walked from north to south, from white to black, and walked through Lustria. More than half of the mainland.
I have never been to the entire southern part of Sotek's Ridge, such as the Brass Desert, Night Forest, Seti Outpost and the Place of Illusion. There are also five temple cities in the east, City of Starlight, Astoro, City of Mists, Slanwupek, City of Rebirth, Huta, City of Ghosts, Talax, City of Echoes, and Zahui Tucker never visited.
Darkus went to the Golden City, Chakua again. After explaining to Tehenhoin, he brought the resurrection crystal, Sotek Snake Cabinet, Chakua's large shield manufacturing tablet and solar engine. Another way to use the slate was to bring back SpicaZuma.
However, he still had no idea how to restore the hatching pool and how to make the sun engine. During his time in Lustria, Lord Whini Aitankui showed no signs of waking up. It seemed that he had brought the soul of Lord Brotebova back. Spicazuma's work has to be completed by other lizardmen. There are still many equipment upgrades that have not been completed, such as designing a combat platform for the pterosaur and installing a reaper ballista on the combat platform on the back of the giant beast. matters.
Overall, Darkos had a lot of gains from his inspection trip to the Lustria continent, but he also had a lot of regrets.
In Spicazuma, Darkus saw Ku Jia and Tiktato who had returned from the battle in the City of Echoes and Zahuitak. The Chaos Rift in Zahuitak was temporarily closed, but he didn't know when. It will be opened again to continue bleeding the lizard people. But fortunately, the lizard's artificial blood ability is now a little stronger, and after all, there are more hatching pools.
To put it more simply, Lord Mazdamudi has now become the real military leader in the lizardmen society, but Darkos doesn't think this is of any use, nor can he start a civil war among the lizardmen, not to mention those Slann who are fishing for money. Will compete with Lord Mazdamudi for the hatching pool. As for the right to speak? He also didn't think that those fishing Slann would obey the orders just because Lord Mazdamudi had a large army.
At this time, Kalion riding a rhinoceros and Tiktato riding a pterosaur shuttled through Spicazuma's beam, and they were competing in a competitive match.
The top lizardmen of Hesiota, except for Pidge Poch who manages Hesiota, are all present. Chupa Coco, Tiktato who is in the sky, Ku Ga, Tiga, and the new ones are here. of Coptiti and Kami.
These lizards and the Drukis led by Darkus enjoyed high-quality flight performances and competitions from the best viewing position on the mountain.
Ku Jia glanced at Darkus with cold eyes, and he nodded in response to Ku Jia. This was considered a greeting, so strange and interesting. He sat on the throne of Lord Mazdamudi with an ebony pipe in his mouth, watching and discussing.
"Dear Umak, after getting to know Lustria, what new views do you have on the big plan now?" Lord Mazdamudi rejected Darkus's kindness. He couldn't smoke the tobacco leaf, but he still He likes to eat dried Escherichia grubs, and he asked after swallowing one.
"Tsk, my dear Lord Mazdamudi, there may not be a way to restore the hatching pool in Lustria. In addition, I have not found any other ancient holy sanctuaries." Darkus took a puff of tobacco and spit out Yan Yan smacked his lips and said.
Kalien took advantage of the maneuverability of the wedge-shaped tail of the rhinoceros and overtook Tiktato's pterosaur at the turn, and the competition was still fierce.
"It seems that we have to try our luck in the Southland and the Dragon Islands. I feel that the hatching pool may be related to the emerald pool north of Itaza and the Ogham pillars in the Pahuakos Sanctuary." Darkus continued. said.
"I remember that my mentor, Lord Croka, mentioned the emerald pool to me a long time ago, but there was no specific information about the stone slab. Other Slann will definitely object to touching the emerald pool. It is the holy land of Slann people." After a while, Lord Mazdamudi said slowly.
"This is how it is for the time being. Relying on the incubation pools of the three temple cities of Hesiota, Spikazuma and Horoto to accumulate some strength, the foundry room in the mountain will continue to expand until the blessing incubator here is built. Finally, I am building one in Talaxlan. When I come back, I will bring some elven armor-making technology and war equipment, and try to upgrade the armament. Then I will try to permanently make Zahuitak's Chaos Rift With the closure of sex, Chapeiuto rises up to open up the connection with the Southland and take the next step of the big plan!" Darkus thought for a while and said seriously after spitting out the smoke.
At this time, the game was coming to an end, and Kalien still firmly held the advantage.
"Well, after Lord Huiniai Tankui wakes up, I will deal with the soul of Lord Brotbowa." Lord Mazdamudi said after confirming the current big plan.
When the horse came to the last turn, something funny happened. Darkus could feel that the rhinoceros began to lose control of Kalien and became manic. After the rhinoceros adjusted its direction, it flew out of the city angrily, as if a yellow-spotted toad suddenly appeared outside the city.
"For the big plan!" After Darkus made a concluding speech, a Lustrian-style jewelry worn around his neck floated in front of him.
"The Amulet of Ichi will protect you in times of danger. When necessary, it can activate the amulet to be teleported to Hesiota."
