Level 1 authority?
Tang Ling was stunned for a moment before his heart started to beat faster.
If not for the 3D map that appeared out of nowhere, it would have been hard for him to understand the Level 1 authority.
However, combined with the map, what exactly was a Level 1 authority? It was explained by a mysterious message.
What kind of map was this? It was incomparably complex and huge, like a huge maze with countless branching passages, rooms, and halls.
The entire maze map formed an abstract dragon, which was the Huaxia dragon totem.
The abstract Huaxia Dragon was gray when it first appeared, but when the Level 1 access notification sounded, Tang Ling saw with his own eyes that the four parts of the dragon's claw turned golden.
When the gold color appeared, some information popped up in Tang Ling's mind as if someone had injected the information into his brain. He knew that with Level 1 access, all he had to do was make the hand gesture and create the key, and he would have the right to enter the area where the four dragon claws were.
In other words, the hand gesture was not an attack gesture. It was just a gesture to create the key with Level 1 authority.
But where am I? Where are the four dragon claws? Tang Ling's mind was a mess. He did not even have an idea of the actual size of the map.
Strangely enough, just as the thought popped up in his mind, he saw a red dot light up at the tip of the dragon claw in front of him in the projection.
The red dot flickered, and an extremely clear small map appeared beside it.
With his Precise Instinct, Tang Ling realized that the mini map was a 3D projection of the cave that he was in. It was extremely precise.
There was also a blinking red dot on the mini map, and Tang Ling knew it was his current location.
Behind the altar, at the bottom of the cave, there were three golden halos that looked like three revolving doors.
Other than that, the mini map also had the mark of an ancient-looking lock, but the lock was half-opened.
Comparing the two maps, it was easy to understand what it meant.
The red dot on the tip of the dragon claw was where the cave was, and the mini map showed the direction!
What direction? In other words, the golden halos were connected to three different paths, and through the three paths, one would be able to reach the other parts of the dragon claw.
The prerequisite was that he had to use this gesture to create a key.
Of course, this key only had Level 1 authority, so the grey area would not be able to be opened by this key.
As for the symbol on the minimap lock, he had no idea what it was, but he might as well give it a try.
Tang Ling's heart felt like it was going to explode after he got the information.
Excitement, shock, amazement, disappointment … All kinds of emotions had reached the extreme. Excitement, shock, amazement … Who would have thought that this temple was just a small dot at the tip of the claw? If the entire map was uncovered, what kind of great project would it be and what kind of great secret would it contain?
That was also the reason why he was disappointed. It was too big, so big that he wondered if he could explore the whole map in his entire life.
His Precise Instinct allowed him to roughly calculate the size of the dragon maze based on the size of the temple and the proportion it occupied on the big map.
The answer was shocking. Based on the planet data from the old civilization, the maze was so big that it spanned at least three continents and even part of the ocean!
Now that the geography of the planet had changed drastically, trying to predict the entrance to other places based on the original location of the continent and ocean was an impossible task.
For example, who would have thought that an inconspicuous little plain in the Herrocky Mountain Ridge was next to a canyon and an inconspicuous cave on the hillside of the canyon would be the entrance?
On top of that, he had gotten the Level 1 authority through a freak combination of factors. If he did not get the authority, would he have to rely on the so-called Holy Blood Pill?
Judging from the information he got, the Holy Blood Pill's authority level was very low. It only had the authority to enter the maze and see the surface of the maze. It was not the key to unlock the Level 1 authority.
The descendants of the six villages of the grassland must have performed the ritual every year just to maintain the maze.
So, what was the only way to explore the maze?
It was similar to walking through the maze. He had to start from his current location and enter three paths. He had to find one of the 'living paths' to reach the next location and continue to open another path at the next location.
However, the Level 1 authority was not enough because the dragon's body, head, and whiskers were all gray in color.
Tang Ling was not greedy. Now that he had the Level 1 authority in this mysterious place, it was already an indescribable, freak combination of factors and luck.
Just think about it. In a small place like this, there were six unknown substances, a set of powerful hand gestures, a bunch of silver eggs, and a tricolored tree with black and white leaves that Tang Ling could not forget and wanted to take away.
As for the one-legged bird sculpture, Tang Ling did not care about it at all. As a matter of fact, the strange thing about the bird sculpture was that it only had one leg. Tang Ling only noticed it later on. However, what did it mean? He reckoned that this one-legged bird was a symbol of remembrance, an object for people to worship.
With excitement, Tang Ling could not hold back his desire to explore the maze.
After he put away the hand gestures, the huge map was saved into his mind like a file. At the same time, the smaller map remained in front of his eyes.
First, Tang Ling tried to see if the so-called Level 1 authority would grant him any special privileges, such as whether he could take away the remaining five unknown substances on the shelf.
The answer was, 'Dream on!'
Tang Ling pouted and tried to touch the hand gestures again, but the answer was still, 'Dream on!' He could no longer see the intricate flow of energy in the hand gestures.
Can you not be so stingy?! Tang Ling was a little annoyed, but it was not difficult for him to speculate that the items he wanted to take away might have something to do with his condition. For example, if his spirit was a little stronger, he might be able to see the flow of energy in the hand gestures again. Also, if he unlocked one of his genetic locks, would his blood change in a subtle way, allowing him to take away the rest of the items on the shelf?
Tang Ling was a fan of speculations, but he could not figure out the key to taking away the eggs.
However, he did not care anymore. The more the items, the less valuable they would be. It was a rule. There were a few hundred silver eggs on the shelf, and even a purple Udy crow could steal one of them for some unknown reason. What good could these eggs be?
With the sour grapes in his heart, Tang Ling walked to a corner behind the altar. The corner was at the bottom left of the cave and was facing the direction of the Goddess Tear Lake. According to the small map, there was a golden halo around the corner.
Tang Ling raised his hand and the energy key flew into his hand. Maybe because his spirit froze it, it did not show any signs of disappearing.
Tang Ling did not know how to open the golden halo. In reality, there was no golden halo like on the small map. Instead, it was just a normal cave wall. There was not even a single brick on it, so it maintained its original appearance.
Therefore, Tang Ling had to use the most common way to test it. He grabbed the energy key, and it felt strange to the touch. There was an icy coldness that indicated its existence, but he did not actually grab it.
Tang Ling used the hand that held the key to touch the cave wall, and the moment he touched it, a faint vibration sounded.
The dim cave suddenly lit up. Three golden halos appeared in three different places at the same time. In the center, a stone platform appeared. On the platform, there was a blue halo. The blue halo formed a simple, unadorned, half-opened lock.
This kind of super technology was too exciting! Was it using light? Waves? Or something else? In short, it had completely surpassed the basic science of the old civilization and could even be considered as toppling it.
Tang Ling was not a scientist. He might be excited, but he did not have the capability to research it. He looked at the whirlpool-like golden halo in front of him and tried to put the energy key in his hand into it.
The moment the energy key came into contact with the golden halo, it immediately disappeared.
The golden halo started to spin rapidly and it spun faster and faster until it formed a blurry golden halo.
Then, in a way that defied the law of motion, it stopped abruptly. The halo dispersed and another ancient stone door appeared before Tang Ling's eyes.
This is …
**
More than a thousand kilometers away from the Herrocky Mountain Range, Raqir Plains.
There was a huge Safety Village in the area.
Although it was called a Safety Village, all aspects of it, such as defense, population, and production, were infinitely close to a Safety Sector.
However, they lacked a key item: the Sector Protection Machine.
As long as they could get their hands on a Sector Protection Machine, there would be another Safety Sector on this planet with a serial number.
Therefore, the Sector Protection Machine was something that everyone in the Scarr Safety Village yearned for.
Therefore, the chief of the Scarr Safety Village decided to bring half of the Purple Moon Warriors to the nearest Safety City, Snow City.
Snow City used to be a Safety Sector, but it had only been a Safety City for less than 50 years, which meant that the city might have an extra Sector Protection Machine.
Why? Because a Safety City did not need something like the Sector Protection Machine. Instead, it needed something more advanced. Needless to say, it was a hard requirement.
The Sector Protection Machine that used to be a Safety Sector would surely be eliminated.
Therefore, it was the third time the chief of Scarr paid a visit to Snow City.
This time, he decided to get his hands on the Sector Protection Machine no matter what price he had to pay!
"Village Chief, with this attitude of yours, it means that our negotiation this time will end in a bloody loss." Sitting beside the chief, one of the Purple Moon Warriors was a little worried as he watched the villagers assemble the Ice Snow Wagon.
Ice Snow City was too greedy. During the second negotiation, the conditions put forward were almost unacceptable, because they would squeeze out all of the harvest of the Scarr Village for the next ten years. The remaining supplies could only barely sustain the lives of the Scarr Villagers, and they might even have to live a tight-lipped life.
This time, the chief was willing to pay any price, so one could imagine the outcome.
"It's fine, Garen! As the chief, I can't just look at the next 10 or 20 years. I need to look at the next 50 or 100 years of development! A temporary loss doesn't mean anything. As long as the future generations can thank me for this decision, it's fine. " The chief was a wise man. Otherwise, he would not have been able to merge the Eighteen Villages of the Icefield into this huge Scarr Village in a mere 20 years.
"I believe in you, chief." Recalling the past, the Purple Moon Warrior's eyes were filled with admiration. He was determined and no longer worried.
"Chief, the Ice Wagon is ready. The Asgar Mane Hounds are all in place, "reported a villager who was sweating profusely.
In the big icefield that was frozen for eight months of the year, sweating profusely was not an easy task. One could see how hard the villager worked.
The chief patted his shoulder encouragingly. He brought the Purple Moon Warrior forward to check on the Ice Wagon and see if there were any problems with it.
Who would have thought that at this moment, a violent earthquake would occur!
Earthquake? An earthquake in the icefield? It was the first thought that popped up in the chief's mind.
He wanted to shout, but another violent tremor caused him to fall into the snow. Fortunately, the Purple Moon Warrior beside him reacted fast enough. He grabbed the chief and dragged him away from the spot where he fell.
In the next second, a long crack appeared on the spot where the chief fell and it started to spread at a moderate speed.
The originally gray sky that looked like snow suddenly turned bright green. It was blinding to the eyes. The villagers screamed and hid, but they were not afraid.
After all, they were in the icefield. There were no tall buildings, only igloos, and there were no tall mountains or seas, so they did not have to worry about landslides or tsunamis.
The only fatal thing was that crack, but it wasn't extending very quickly.
Therefore, all the villagers, including the chief, calmed down in less than 10 seconds. They each found a safe spot and waited for the earthquake to pass.
However, the strange thing was that the earthquake lasted for so long that it exceeded everyone's knowledge.
It took a whole five minutes for the whole icefield to stop shaking.
Five minutes later, more cracks finally stopped. Following the tremor, there was more than one crack. Within five minutes, there were seven to eight giant cracks that went through the entire village.
After another thirty seconds or so, the shaking finally calmed down.
The chief was the first to stand up. He shouted, "Purple Moon Warriors, high warriors, and all the other warriors, go patrol the village! Quick! Check if any of the villagers fell into the cracks! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange expression appeared on everyone's face.
Oh my god, what did they just hear? Was it an illusion? Why was there a tsunami? The nearest sea, the Floating Ice Sea, was at least 30 kilometers away.
