The Snake of Life's travel was very simple. It kept moving to places with more energy. During this process, no one could tell exactly where the Snake of Life would stop and how long it would stay. Everyone also knew that the Snake of Life wasn't a living creature. It didn't have its own consciousness, let alone control it. However, it still couldn't be determined.
It was one of the things without a source. This wasn't just a saying.
No race could trace its origin, and no spell could crack its secrets. This was called a thing without a source.
Of course.
Although the Snake of Life's movements couldn't be 100% determined, after countless years of following and analyzing, people could roughly estimate its "inertia." For example, it liked places with more energy. This was a habit. Another example was that it would go to some places once every 10,000 years. Usually, it would go to places with more energy. Another example was that it would occasionally discover some mysterious areas that no one knew about, and they were places with more energy.
Because of these records, people could vaguely determine the Snake of Life's movement pattern.
At the same time.
These records were all stored in the Web of Life and were available for everyone to see.
"When entering a new area, the Snake of Life will stay for at least a year or two, sometimes longer. If it's in an old area, it won't be more than a year unless it's blocked. In addition, the most important point is that the Snake of Life itself won't 'explore' new areas. If no one enters to investigate, the Snake of Life will at most circle around for a while and then leave directly. So it's impossible to explore with the help of the Snake of Life itself. "Demonic Emperor Pan Luo kept explaining these important matters to his friends.
Some things were enough to hear once, but it wouldn't work if they hadn't heard it before.
Sending people into new areas.
On the one hand, it was to explore, and on the other hand, it was to pave the way for the Snake of Life. If no one explored, the next time they came, it would still be in an undeveloped state.
"There are often many treasures in new areas, so no one wants to miss it." Demonic Emperor Pan Luo said the most important thing.
"I see." Tang Shidao had been cultivating recently and didn't want to use his brain to do anything.
Mr. Long's identity was different from the Human Emperor's.
As long as Mr. Long was a pure human cultivator, it was enough. He didn't need to participate in the competition for power and territory.
In just one day.
The exploration teams returned.
The leaders of the various captains did not need them to speak. They only needed their magic recordings. In addition, all the members who participated in the expedition were taken away. They began to examine their bodies and souls to eliminate any possibility of invasion or distortion to ensure that the most authentic information was obtained. The internal team of the Serpent of Life would not hide anything, nor would they investigate behind closed doors. All the inspection results were public on the Life Network.
If the members they sent out had a special "harvest", such as picking up a certain treasure, the other teams would not ask for it.
Luck was a reward in the Serpent of Life.
A reward that no one coveted.
Very soon.
Demonic Emperor Pallo had obtained the detailed information. He only needed to give the leaders of the exploration teams some magic materials.
"This place … We have decided to name it the 'Crystal Mirage'. It has already been recorded in the life network. It was a place completely made of crystals and had some relatively docile crystal creatures. So far, there were no signs of treasures or artifacts. According to initial estimates, this was a completely new region of life, but it hadn't developed well. In addition, the Crystal Illusory Realm's level of illusion was extremely high. One would lose their senses if they were separated by a short distance. Therefore, we can't break the connection when we enter, or we might get lost. "
"Since the Crystal Mirage hasn't grown, can't we destroy it?" Tang Shidao was a little puzzled.
"The exploration team has tried and found that the crystals have the ability to absorb energy. After absorbing energy, they will grow rapidly. Moreover, the more crystals grow, the stronger the illusion effect. Before thoroughly understanding it, it's best not to carelessly destroy the Crystal Mirage. Mr. Long, regarding the Serpent of Life's journey, the more we know, the better. Different places are suitable for different races. Destroying one might be equivalent to destroying a certain race's lucky place. "
"So that's the reason." Tang Shidao understood.
For example, a place like the Primordial Wind Corridor was meaningless to other races, but it was a treasure land for the Wind Faction. If someone deliberately destroyed the Crystal Mirage, it was probably equivalent to deliberately destroying a certain race's cultivation holy land.
Unknowingly, you might not only offend a race, but also a large faction.
According to the preliminary investigation.
Very soon.
The various large teams of the Serpent of Life began to set off and enter the Crystal Mirage. Starting from the most fragmented periphery, the various tyrants immediately summoned countless' sentinels' to lock onto their positions to prevent them from getting lost midway. Although there was no danger, no one wanted to lose face like this.
Tang Shidao didn't team up with anyone, and he didn't want to hinder the speed of the Pallo Demon Clan's competition.
It was fine to wander alone.
Stepping into the Crystal Mirage, before he even began to experience it, Lifeweave immediately increased to 12% expansion, as if he had absorbed countless knowledge in an instant. Pleasantly surprised, Tang Shidao looked around again. In front of him was a world of life that he had never seen before. Here, countless giant crystals stood tall, forming a pillar-like existence. At the same time, they were connected to pieces of land. In addition, there were crystals everywhere on the ground, mountains, rivers, forests.
In this place, crystals were as common as flowers and plants in the wild.
There were wild beasts everywhere on the surface.
Some of these wild beasts were fur-type, while others were crustaceans. Similarly, they all had crystal bones in their bodies. What was even more surprising was the way they grew. After eating a certain amount of grass or water, they would completely crystallize in the blink of an eye, like a crystal statue. At this time, the crystal would begin to grow and expand. It would only stop when it reached a certain extent and finally return to its original appearance.
After growing for a while, they would completely crystallize. After that, they would transform into flesh and blood life forms.
This kind of physical growth was related to energy.
As long as there was enough energy, they could easily grow from a few meters to more than ten meters or even more. If there wasn't much energy, they could only grow by 10% or 20%. What Tang Shidao was more interested in was the distortion of crystallization.
The creatures here were better, like deer or wolves.
When those deer-like creatures were captured and eaten by wolf-like creatures, the rest that escaped would undergo two changes. The first: Crystallize, transform, grow wings, and then transform into a flying deer and escape into the sky. The second: Crystallize, transform, grow thick scales, and then transform into a heavily armored deer. This didn't take long. As long as they felt danger, they could transform into another life form to protect themselves.
Similarly.
When the deer grew wings or became heavily armored deer, the wolf couldn't eat them anymore.
Then, the wolf would also change.
The wolf would grow sharper teeth or stronger claws. For flying deer that could fly into the air, the wolf would also grow wings and fly into the air to hunt them down. At this time, the deer herd would undergo new changes and continue to use new forms to escape. For example, they would transform into fish-shaped deer monsters and enter the water. On the other hand, the wolf would continue to transform and continue to chase.
However, Tang Shidao realized that this kind of hunting was not absolute.
When the wolf killed too much, the deer herd would be angered.
At this time, the deer herd would crystallize together, and several or dozens of them would merge into one. At that time, if the wolf pounced again, it might encounter an even bigger and stronger bear. This kind of counterattack was rare, but it wasn't unheard of. Tang Shidao felt that the deer herd wasn't willing to 'merge into one' because this was equivalent to giving up their own lives.
However, if the group couldn't survive, they could only counterattack.
Crystal creatures weren't more popular the bigger they were, and tigers and bears weren't the only predators.
In Tang Shidao's observation.
Poisonous bees, poisonous ants, or flocks of ferocious birds, these predators were equally terrifying. Ignoring their biological instincts, some wild beasts even knew how to strategy. For example, a rabbit that was being chased by a wolf and had no way to escape would crystallize and split into two, one main and one auxiliary. The main body would hide, and the auxiliary body would increase its speed and grow legs, luring the wolf beast to chase after it.
At this time, there were three different results.
First, the auxiliary rabbit would be quickly eaten by a faster wolf, and the main rabbit would still be in danger. Second, the auxiliary rabbit would pull the wolf far away, and the main rabbit would escape safely. Third, the auxiliary rabbit would deliberately enter a tiger or bear cave, and both the wolf and the auxiliary rabbit would be killed.
That's right.
Weak creatures also knew how to trick others. No one had an absolute advantage.
Tang Shidao had been observing these crystal creatures and found that some rat monsters knew how to poison some of their companions and feed them to the lynx or fox that preyed on them. As long as the predator was poisoned and weakened, the rat monsters would take the opportunity to counterattack. In such a natural environment, even the largest creature could be eaten by a group of poisonous ants. Similarly, the largest ant colony could be easily killed by a fire-breathing lizard.
In addition to various strange abilities, crystal creatures generally chose between 'attack, defense, and speed'.
Attack could destroy the defensive shell.
Defense could ignore creatures that only had speed and no sharp teeth.
Speed could attack creatures that had no defense.
The most common examples were wolves, armored lizards, and poisonous bees. The wolves could kill the armored lizards, but they would be killed by the poisonous bees. The armored lizards could ignore the poisonous bees and eat them with their tongues, but they couldn't defeat the wolves. The poisonous bees couldn't do anything to the armored lizards, but they could kill the wolves.
There were even more special examples.
Fire-breathing or poison-spitting creatures seemed very strong, but they were stunned when faced with fire and poison resistance. Fast and small creatures could shamelessly sneak attacks, but when faced with sound waves, they would be reduced to ashes.
"Mr. Long, it's been almost four months, and you're still looking at these small animals?"
"I'm not interested in treasure hunting. What can I do for you, Mr. God Taiyuan? "Tang Shidao wasn't just strolling around. He had been honing Life Weave during this time. From 11% before he entered, it had increased to 12% the moment he stepped foot, and now it was 15%. In Tang Shidao's opinion, this kind of expansion and growth was more precious than any kind of treasure.
"There's something wrong with Haramizu Aoi." God Taiyuan handed over another piece of meat.
"It hasn't woken up?"
"It's awake, and it's starting to recover. However, there's something wrong with its situation. "God Taiyuan didn't say much and only handed the piece of meat to Tang Shidao. Although it was called a piece of meat, in fact, this' meat 'was a kind of energy body. This was the original appearance of the Origin Races. They were made of energy and generally didn't need a biological body.
Unless they deliberately created a flesh and blood body, this was the original form.
Tang Shidao took it.
He immediately sensed it and knew that things were strange. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I still need some time to study it. However, I can remind you now. From the meat, there's nothing wrong with it. However, there are still some things that are causing it. "
"What things?"
"Its soul doesn't think it's Haramizu Aoi. It's not memory modification, nor is it soul replacement. It's a kind of self-denial. To put it simply, it's like a weak person challenging a strong person. The weak person believes that he will definitely win. It's obviously fake, but he still believes it's real. Haramizu Aoi is similar. It's obviously the real person, but it doesn't think it's the real person. "
"I'll remind my old friend to find the reason. I hope you can help to study it again."
"Well, I'm free anyway." Tang Shidao nodded.
Now was the most important time to study Lifeweave. When he received this piece of meat, he vaguely felt that it increased his experience. However, it was less than 1%, so there was no change. This kind of experience increase was not fake. Therefore, Tang Shidao also felt that this kind of 'Lifeweave' should not be missed.
Now.
Everything that increased the experience of Lifeweave was what he needed. For example, the crystal illusion in front of him. Tang Shidao vaguely felt that … there was something more important that he hadn't found yet.
