The search and rescue personnel could not drag out the person who was summoned from the distorted crack.
He could only watch as his broken body wriggled and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Later, the search and rescue personnel found the blood and skin fragments of two other superhumans in the other two cracks.
The average width of the two cracks was not even more than five centimeters.
No one knew how these three Extraordinaires managed to squeeze their way in.
No one knew exactly where they ended up in the increasingly narrow, twisted, and dark crevice.
In just a short half a month, similar incidents happened nonstop.
The number of mysterious incidents that resulted in people's deaths alone was already in the double digits.
In truth, this was a normal phenomenon when exploring the ancient ruins.
In the past, when humans excavated the Ruins No. 1 at the center of Dragon City, they ran into even more abnormal incidents, and they were even stranger.
Blood Alliance used the most brutal force to force tens of thousands of innocent citizens to use their lives to carve out a bloody path in the depths of the Ruins No. 1.
That was how Earthlings were able to absorb the nutrients from the ancient civilization and build their own spirit energy cultivation, runic symbol technology, and biochemical modification systems.
Compared to the ancient civilization, the current Earth civilization was even more immature than a three-year-old child.
If a three-year-old child entered an armory filled with weapons of mass destruction, there was a high chance that someone would die.
There was basically no good solution to the mysterious incidents that happened during the exploration.
The only way to solve them was to retreat most of the people and slow down the pace of exploration, research, and cultivation. Then, in a few decades or even centuries, they could slowly and steadily excavate the ruins.
But that was impossible.
Even though the major forces of power suffered heavy casualties in the Ruins No. 2, the grandson of a Deity Realm superhuman went through spirit energy deviation.
It was even to the extent that the grandson of a Deity Realm expert suffered from Qi Deviation. His cerebral vessels exploded, and half of his cerebral cortex was burnt. He became a cripple.
But no one was willing to take even half a step out of the monsters' nest.
In fact, even though they knew that the dangers of exploring the ruins were increasing day by day, they still sent more soldiers there and invested more money, equipment, and manpower.
There was nothing they could do about it. The Ruins No. 2 was just too good.
The Ruins No. 1 at the center of Dragon City should be the remains of the ancient people's city.
The ancient people might be connected to Earthlings and might even be the primeval gene providers for Earthlings.
But they were different from Earthlings who had just experienced the Industrial Revolution and could not break free from the shackles of their physical bodies. The ancient people had already stepped onto the path of spirit energy ascension, and they were gradually moving from carbon-based life forms to pure energy life forms.
The ancient people's utilization of spiritual energy had reached the peak of perfection. To a large extent, they were no longer restricted to material matters.
This brought about two problems.
First of all, there weren't many relics that could be preserved in perfect condition for billions of years in Relic No. 1. After all, the ancients didn't pay much attention to material things!
Second, even if there were relics with spirit marks and runic symbols carved into them and had not been completely corroded by time, Earthlings might not be able to discover their full value.
Secondly, even if there were some relics engraved with spiritual tattoos and runes that had not been eroded by time, the people on Earth might not be able to exploit their full value.
This was like asking primary school students to read university textbooks. Even if they knew every word, who knew what it meant when they were put together!
Hence, even though Dragon City had been developing Ancient Ruins No. 1 for half a century, many of the projects were still based on guesses and luck.
Ruins No. 2 was different.
It was the mother's body and carcass.
Even though the mother and the monsters it gave birth to looked completely different from Earthlings, they were all pure carbon-based life forms.
However, they were both pure carbon-based creatures. Their cell structures, gene splicing, and absorption and utilization of spiritual energy were very similar.
As the creation of the ancient people, the mother's technology level was one level lower than the ancient people's.
But it was suitable for Earthlings who were at the same level as them to learn and research.
In just a short one or two months, humans had already obtained more nutrients from Ruins No. 2 than they would have obtained from exploring Ruins No. 1 for five years.
The formula for the new gene medicine.
It was a secret technique that stimulated a certain part of the brain and increased the mental attacks.
The new spirit energy magnetic field construction model allowed superhumans to obtain the inborn skills of superbeasts.
Each of them brought about drastic changes in a certain field, allowed certain interest groups to rise to power, and even allowed Dragon City's overall fighting strength to increase by leaps and bounds.
Besides, at the same time, two digits of superhumans died tragically in the depths of the ruins.
There were also two digits of superhumans who reached the peak of Earth Realm and became Heaven Realm superhumans!
As for the small increase in cultivation realms from one star to two stars and from two stars to three stars, they were like fish in a river. They were not even worth mentioning.
This might be the largest case of superhumans leveling up in Dragon City after the Red Radiance Jade tsunami erupted in Raging Waves.
Countless superhumans' vitality magnetic fields collided, surged, and resonated with each other.
Even superhumans who had been training hard but could not find a fortuitous encounter to reach a breakthrough were influenced and driven by other breakthroughs. Usually, they could obtain results that they could not obtain even if they cultivated for eight to ten years in the outside world.
One of the reasons why Meng Chao was able to show signs of reaching the peak of Heaven Realm so quickly was because the microcomputer provided him with the information from the ancient era and the memories of the fight, which nourished his brain and nerves. The other reason was that the vitality magnetic fields of countless superhumans resonated with him and helped him.
Another reason was that ever since the end of the Monster War, the fog around Monster Mountain Range was dispersing even faster.
The experts analyzed that at the latest, in a year, there would no longer be any barriers between Dragon City and the vast Other World.
At that time, Dragon Citizens would be able to charge out fearlessly.
The locals of the Other World outside would also be able to charge in fearlessly.
Since they won the Monster War cleanly and captured the mother's two brains, they obtained a lot of information from the ancient era.
Compared to his previous life, the current Dragon City placed a lot of importance on the local civilizations that might exist in the Other World.
So much so that Meng Chao felt like he was scaring himself.
Before they could see the Other World in its entirety, the only thing Dragon Citizens could do was to use any means necessary and pay any price to cultivate madly to improve themselves.
Compared to the rewards from developing Ancient Ruins No. 2, forget double-digit casualties, even if the number of casualties was multiplied by one hundred times, it would still be a price they could bear and even ignore.
After all, to occupy Hidden Fog and destroy the monster civilization, Dragon City was already prepared to grit its teeth and endure the deaths of one million Red Dragon Soldiers and tens of thousands of superhumans!
The fear of death could not win against the temptation of leveling up.
Even if the dangers in Ancient Ruins No. 2 increased day by day, there were still more superhumans who sharpened their brains.
They wanted to enter the monsters' nest, or at the very least, to cultivate in Hidden Fog No. 2. There were too many monks, too little porridge, and too little meat.
There were too many monks and not enough porridge. The biggest problem right now was not that there were not enough "volunteers" who volunteered to explore the ruins.
Instead, compared to the superhumans' growing passion for cultivation, the corresponding cultivation resources were severely lacking.
On the other hand, the limited training resources, especially the rare resources that could only be condensed after billions of years and under extreme conditions of high temperature and high pressure, should belong to who should enjoy them? That was another complicated problem.
Even if there were one hundred disadvantages to the Enclosure Act, there was at least one great advantage, and that was that it made clear who the cultivation resources belonged to.
Whoever conquered a certain piece of land would be the owner of all the resources contained in it.
It was simple, clear, and practical. Besides, theoretically speaking, it was fair, open, and just.
Besides, the resources contained in a unit of area in a normal wild area were not so abundant that they could fill up pits and valleys.
It was not enough for the major forces of Dragon City to turn against each other for a few crystal mines that did not have a lot of resources and were of low grade.
But Hidden Fog No. 1 was different.
First of all, Dragon City mobilized all forces of power to attack Hidden Fog No. 1. All forces of power took action together.
From the Red Dragon Army to the mega corporations, from the small and medium-sized enterprises to the alliance of universities, from the four great research centers to the Hunter's Association, from the secret police to the abnormal beast research department, all the organizations, forces of power, and individuals came out to do everything they could.
From the Deity Realm superhumans to the normal soldiers, many of them were left with injuries that could not be healed. Some of them even paid with their lives.
It was hard to say just who contributed more and who had the right to obtain the monster civilization's legacy.
Second, the cultivation resources in Hidden Fog No. 1 were much more abundant and of a higher grade compared to the outside world.
Many of the resources were enough to help a first-rate fighter who had been stuck at a bottleneck complete an explosive leap and become a super-first-rate fighter. Then, the forces of power they belonged to would rise to another level.
There were also some resources that could increase the combat parameters of the railway guns if they landed in the hands of the Red Dragon Army, and they would turn into a killing machine that could destroy dozens of kilometers with just one shot.
There was also a very important resource that was exclusive to everyone else.
And that was space.
The space in the mother's body was limited. At any one time, it could only accommodate a certain number of superhumans to cultivate inside.
Many of the large research equipment could only fit one of them.
And many of the dormant cells in the mother's body could only withstand one stimulation. Once they obtained valuable experimental data, they would turn into bubbles and disappear.
Who was most qualified to enjoy the only high-grade crystal found in the Hidden Fog Unique Domain?
Who could enter the monsters' nest and occupy the core of the mother's body to cultivate day and night?
Who could come into contact with the giant brain and microbrain at will and use the research equipment to analyze the secrets of the ancient era?
For these problems, the nine great mega corporations, the mega corporations and the Red Dragon Army, the secret police and the abnormal beast research department, the alliance of the five universities and Dragon City University, and the poor and rich people fought against each other. They refused to give in to each other.
