Chapter 1269 Evidence of the Ultimate Form
The further you go deeper into the Holy Mountain of Turan, the weirder the surrounding environment becomes.
It's like cutting a piece of rolling mountains and the rivers between the mountains into countless fragmented "puzzle pieces", and then putting these puzzle pieces together without any rules.
Often next to a mountain peak hundreds of meters high, there is a rift valley hundreds of meters deep.
A meandering stream will flow into a seemingly seamless rock wall for no reason.
Meng Chao saw a lake. On the left was an irregular oval shape, which was in line with the natural laws of water. But the lakeshore on the right was a regular straight line. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like there was an invisible giant blade.
, cut a lake in half like a birthday cake, but threw the right half of the lake into an unknown place.
Meng Chao even saw a big tree split in two at the edge of a fragmented space. The fiber tubes and various structures on the inner wall of the trunk were clearly visible. However, not only was the big tree not dead, it was still flourishing.
It is full of colorful datura flowers, and even slowly squirming insects can be seen in the cross-section of the trunk!
Meng Chao couldn't help but marvel at such a strange scene.
He had seen similar "space folds" or "space warps" phenomena many times in Longcheng and even experienced them himself.
In fact, it was precisely because he encountered the "space warping" phenomenon during the actual test of the college entrance examination that the entire factory used as the examination room was teleported to the depths of the fog dozens of kilometers away, and he encountered a large number of blood moon demon wolves, so Meng Chao was able to fight to the death.
During the fight, extraordinary power is awakened.
In the past ten or twenty years, the space around Dragon City has become much more stable.
At least people on Earth can safely carry out production and construction within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
Even if you accidentally step into a gap in space, you can often emerge from nearby with all your beards and tail intact. You don't have to worry about being squeezed into a meat pie by the gap in space, leaving no bones, nor do you have to worry about being teleported into the rocks.
But when Dragon City first traveled to another world, because the space oscillations were very violent, extremely unstable space gaps often appeared even within the urban area.
Not only will monsters travel in groups and travel to the middle of downtown areas.
High-rise buildings or factories and schools located in downtown areas may be inexplicably teleported into the fog dozens of miles away from the city.
Moreover, it completely collapsed during the transmission process, and all the unfortunate citizens inside were annihilated in the ruins of death.
This was also an important reason why the order of the Dragon City at that time was broken down, morals were degenerated, the weak were eaten by the strong, and the winner was king.
However, no matter when Meng Chao was checking the information on the early stages of Dragon City's time travel.
It was still when he was exploring the Kirigakure Realm.
They have never seen a place like Turan Holy Mountain, where the "space warping" phenomenon is so serious and the laws of space are so weird.
No wonder, the Turan civilization that traveled here was unable to maintain its incredible and superior technology, and could only slowly evolve into a clan society where the strong were respected.
Looking at the scene in front of him that was neither continuous nor reasonable, Meng Chao didn't know. If it were a city on the earth that traveled here, the earthlings in this city would experience in the maze of space.
What will it look like after millions of years of evolution?
Apart from the fragmented and messy space, what left the deepest impression on Meng Chao here was undoubtedly the ruins of ancient battlefields.
Ice Storm told Meng Chao that as the core battlefield of the unprecedented "Great Extinction War" three thousand years ago, the Holy Light camp and the Turan civilization at that time both dropped millions or even larger amounts of weapons deep in the Holy Mountain.
troops.
The brutality of the battle can no longer be described as a "meat grinder", it is simply a molecular level crusher.
Because the strong men of the Holy Light Human Race and the Turan Orcs, when they practice to the extreme, are just like the extraordinary men of Dragon City, they can absorb a large amount of spiritual energy into the body, causing the organs around the body, especially the bones, to take on a "crystalline" quality.
It can last for thousands of years without decay, without breaking for thousands of years, and with immortality for thousands of years.
Therefore, even though three thousand years have passed, corpses that maintain fighting postures and even emit wisps of murderous aura can still be seen everywhere here.
Several times, Meng Chao was startled by the murderous aura emanating from the corpses, and thought he had bumped into the Wolf King, Tiger King or Lion King's team.
If you take a closer look, you can see that the skulls are empty but still glowing with faint spiritual flames.
When the strong wind howls and the crystal-clear skulls roll around on the ruins of the ancient battlefield, these spiritual flames are like fluttering will-o'-the-wisps, accompanied by the shrieking sound of the wind blowing through the eye sockets, dancing with unwillingness and anger.
War dance.
This kind of ghost thing can not only create visual pollution, but also scare the cowards.
The brain waves of those who died in the war three thousand years ago are still unwilling to dissipate. After being strangely catalyzed by the intricate spiritual magnetic environment deep in the holy mountain, it can easily affect the brains of carbon-based intelligent creatures that penetrate deep here.
Or it can cause hallucinations and auditory hallucinations in carbon-based intelligent creatures.
Or, interfere with or even manipulate their central nervous system, stimulate their hormone secretion, and make them more impulsive, angry, cruel, and violent than usual.
This phenomenon is somewhat similar to the red jade veins that Meng Chao and Lu Siya teamed up to explore for the first time.
No matter how calm a prospector is at ordinary times, after his brain is exposed to excessive psychic radiation, his innermost emotions and desires are easily exposed, and he becomes unrecognizable, and even turns into... a monster in human skin.
Ice Storm told Meng Chao.
In the three thousand years since the Holy Light Army retreated, some Turan orcs have thought about restarting the Holy Mountain Temple and retrieving its lost origins.
But the hundreds of exploration teams that have come one after another are either trapped in the unpredictable space maze.
Or they were cursed by the undead in the ancient battlefield ruins, mistakenly thinking that they were soldiers in the tragic war three thousand years ago, and constantly killing each other, repeating the tragedy of the "Crusher".
Of course, there are also many unlucky ones who inadvertently awaken the remains of the ultimate weapons left on the battlefield by both sides, temporarily losing energy and entering a dormant state.
Not to mention the evil puppet known as the "Angel of Killing".
Meng Chao had seen a lot in the valley where "Jackal" Canus once fought fiercely.
We can also deduce from the fresh battle traces, including the corpses of three tiger warriors, just how powerful their fighting power was.
There is also a large, gray-white, strange-shaped device.
It looks like a machine with an intricate structure, like an ancient fossil excavated from the seabed, or more like a thousand-year-old tree root that has been burned by flames, entwined with the skeletons of Turan Orcs.
Meng Chao walked around these "paleontological fossils" with an average height of more than ten meters for a long time, but he still didn't understand what they were.
In the end, it was Ice Storm who revealed the mystery and told Meng Chao that these were totem armors that "died" three thousand years ago.
"Can Totem Armor also die?"
Meng Chao was a little surprised.
As far as he knew, the totem armor was difficult to completely destroy using conventional methods.
When the owner of a totem armor dies, the totem armor will often release psychic ripples similar to brain waves, or simply transform into a form similar to liquid metal, trying every possible means to find and attract the next owner, and seduce the owner.
Inhale it into the body to achieve some kind of wonderful... "symbiotic state".
Even if a totem armor is torn into pieces, different parts will be swallowed up by other totem armors.
As long as the owners of other totem armors are strong enough and can bring enough killing experience to them, these totem armor fragments will also be "satisfied and content".
If it is not nourished by psychic energy and blood for a long time, the totem armor will become dim and lazy, and even enter a hibernating state - like a metal-cast flower bud or insect chrysalis.
But that is by no means a true "death".
Once there is an opportunity, if you meet the right master and inject sufficient energy and resources, even the totem armor that has been sleeping for thousands of years will be "resurrected" again.
Ice Storm told Meng Chao that indeed, it was difficult to "kill" or "destroy" the totem armor in a true sense.
No matter whether it is chopped with swords or axes or bombarded by artillery, or even breaking an entire totem armor into hundreds of fragments, it is just to let it exist in another form.
Unless the purest holy light is illuminated, the mysterious substance and the lowest structure that make up the totem armor can be destroyed, causing it to completely lose its activity and turn into the gray-white thing in front of you, like a coral fossil.
As long as it becomes like this, the totem armor will never be "resurrected" again - no matter how much energy is injected into it, or how long it is soaked in the witch doctor's secret medicine, it will not work.
And this is also an important reason why the Turan Orcs and the Holy Light Human Race are at odds with each other - after all, the Holy Light is almost the only secret weapon that can restrain the Totem Armor!
Meng Chao was thoughtful.
Looking at these "ancient totem armor corpses" with an average height of more than ten meters, they don't look like armor at all, but rather like some kind of mysterious creature attached to the human body. They also asked Ice Storm for confirmation, and condensed into the mystery of the totem armor.
After a substance loses its activity, its volume will not expand. He also confirmed one thing.
The "ultimate form of the totem armor" should exist.
At least, the totem armor from three thousand years ago may not necessarily stick to the surface of the human body and look like ancient armor.
The totem armor at that time was fully capable of helping its owner transform into a large war machine that was over ten meters tall and wielded dozens of liquid metal tentacles.
Since this mysterious substance can break away from the form of armor and the shackles of the human body.
Transforming into an airship that is hundreds of meters long or even a spaceship that is thousands of meters long, with the ability to break through the atmosphere, conduct interstellar navigation, and even blast an orbiting space station with a single cannon... isn't that fantastic?
"Look, Thousand Blades Peak is ahead!"
