The Gem Nation was at the edge of the Sealed Domain.
With a living map like Man Hua, Hayashi River and the rest did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
The ones who knew the most about the Gem Nation's past were the Centaur Race. These two races were once the two strongest races in the Sealed Domain.
Of course, this did not include the descendants of the Dragon Race. When the Ancient Dragon Race dominated the Sealed Domain, all races were their slaves. At that time, there was only one voice in the Sealed Domain, and that was the Ancient Dragon Race!
"The Ancient Dragon Race is very different from the Dragon Race of a thousand years ago, and the Dragon Race of the Western Continent …"
Man Hua was not only a living map, but also a living history book. His erudition came from his actual experience, and he was a practical person.
Speaking of the Ancient Dragon Race, the strongest Centaur Race was still in awe. They were the strongest race in ancient times, and could even be said to be an unparalleled existence.
In ancient times, when the Ancient Dragon Race was at its peak, no other race could compare to them, including the Elves and the Ancient Dwarves …
It wasn't until the elves gained wisdom and extraordinary skills, the ancient dwarves obtained the blessing of the earth, and the goblins obtained extraordinary creativity … Only then did all these races rise to power. At the peak of the elves' power, they were even able to rival the ancient dragons.
However, in terms of individual strength, no one could compare to the Ancient Dragon Race …
A thousand years ago, a portion of the Dragon Race were descendants of the Ancient Dragon Race. This was equivalent to the royal family of the Dragon Race, and most of the Dragon Race had the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon Race …
Today, there should not be a single descendant of the Ancient Dragon Race in the Western Continent. Even if there was, their bloodline was extremely impure.
Most of the Dragon Race in the Western Continent were descendants of the Ancient Dragon Race and the Draconic Human Race. The impure bloodline naturally made the Dragon Race less powerful.
"Of course, in the Eastern Continent, there are still descendants of the Ancient Dragon Race. For example, a thousand years ago, the Sea Dragon Captain of Davo City had 60% of the Water Dragon Race's bloodline. This is also the reason why she participated in this war … "
Man Hua laughed heartily. Inviting the Sea Dragon Captain of Davo City was the easiest for him, because the descendants of the Black Rock Cave and the Sea Dragon Captain were natural enemies.
Hearing these secrets, Hayashi River thought of the current Sea Dragon Captain. Could it be that this woman was so powerful because she had the bloodline of an ancient dragon?
The group hurried on, listening to Man Hua's stories along the way. A day later, they arrived at the Gem Country.
"This is much more beautiful than the Black Rock Cavern …"
Looking at the dazzling palaces before him, Bayun couldn't help but sigh. This place was like a completely different world compared to the other places in the Sealed Domain.
"Of course. The races of the Gem Nation are made up of Goblins, Elves, Human Mechanics, and so on …"
Speaking of the Gem Country, this was a very unique place in the Sealed Region. It was not built by a single race but by many Smiths, Mechanics, and other elites from all over the continent. They had come here to research this unique crystal stone and created a small country.
"Don't underestimate the Gem Kingdom. Not only is the core of the [Earth King Equipment] made from the [Gem Furnace], but the Sky Fortress and the Giant Steel Soldiers are also made from the [Gem Furnace] …"
Speaking of these past events, Man Hua sighed. The destruction of the Gem Country was the true reason for the decline of this Sealed Region.
In the past war, the descendants of the ancient dragons were not stupid, and they knew that if the Gem Country was not destroyed, they would continue to create terrifying weapons like the [Earth King Equipment].
Because of this, the Giant Dragon Army launched a fierce attack and broke through the Gem Kingdom. They destroyed the [Gem Furnace], causing the elites gathered here to leave.
"If the [Gem Furnace] was still here, the North might have already conquered the Sea-Ao Empire. After all, the King of the North had such ambitions back then …" Man Hua muttered.
Hayashi River remained silent. He came to the Gem Country to find Blue Kitty and to confirm if the [Moon Core] had anything to do with the Gem Country.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, in the sky above the palace complex, a layer of azure clouds swirled, and a terrifying cold air swept over, freezing the ground and trees in the surroundings.
A huge flying snake soared into the sky, circled in the air, and swooped down towards them.
"Ice Snake King?!"
Man Hua frowned. He was not afraid of such a monster. Even if his body had some problems, it would not take much effort to deal with a level-seven Ice Snake King.
What the Centaur Race elder found strange was that if it were any other time, given the Ice Snakes' sensitivity to danger, they would definitely not appear in groups.
After all, apart from Man Hua, who was a level-nine expert, the others were not weak. Mr. Bone, Da Jiao, Bayun, and the others, as well as Hayashi River, who had obtained the new [Seventh Armament], were all terrifying experts.
"These ice snakes seem to be welcoming us …" Madam Butterfly muttered.
"Meow …"
In the air, a meow sounded, and a blue figure leaped down from the head of the huge ice snake into Hayashi River's arms. It was Blue Kitty.
The little fellow rolled around in his arms, looking harmless, and even waved its claws at Madam Butterfly in greeting.
For a moment, everyone was stunned, especially Madam Butterfly, Bayun, Old Aidan, Hai Wuya, and the others. They were most familiar with the little fellow and had long gotten used to Blue Kitty's lazy and adorable demeanor.
Now, seeing this little thing jump down from the head of the Ice Snake King, it was a strange and frightening scene.
Hiss …
The Ice Snake King lay on the ground, its hundred-meter-long body shrinking into a half-foot-long mini snake. It bowed to Hayashi River and nodded at Man Hua.
This Ice Snake King was very intelligent, and knew that it had to curry favor with Mr. Meow's master. At the same time, it could feel the terrifying auras of Hayashi River and Man Hua.
These two presences were not the same. One was a spiritual pressure for a realm seven monster like him. The other was an absolute suppression in terms of power.
As the Ice Snake King bowed, it spat out two gem-like green energy crystals. One was the size of a fist, and it was given to Hayashi River, while the other was smaller, to Man Hua.
"This is [Green Energy Crystal]?! I didn't expect there to be such a big one … "Man Hua was surprised.
The Centaur elder told everyone that this was the top energy crystal of the Gem Nation. [Gem Furnace] was made of [Green Energy Crystal].
After creating [Gem Furnace], there were very few of these top energy crystals. This was a resource that could only be produced after a long period of time.
This was also the reason why after [Gem Furnace] was destroyed, the craftsmen and Master Mechanics of the Gem Nation all left.
Hiss …
Next to Hayashi River's ears, [Moon Core] once again emitted a strange electric sound. This was a report from the damaged artificial intelligence system. It had obtained a large amount of information, and the database was being repaired.
"Meow …"
Blue Kitty turned around and stood on Hayashi River's shoulder. It signaled for the Ice Snake King to become bigger and carry its master and the guests to tour the Gem Nation.
Whoosh …
The mini snake turned into a giant flying snake again, carrying Hayashi River, Man Hua, Mossy Bone, and Fowler.
As for the others, they were gathered together by countless ice snakes and carried around the palace complex on their backs.
Based on the ice snakes' attitude, Lin Chuan could already imagine how comfortable Lan Kitty had been over the past few days. She was practically living like a king.
"Meow …"
Blue Kitty waved its claws, indicating that this place was too cold. It was not as lively as Shi Haishan City at all. Other than the good fruits here, there was no delicious barbecued meat or sweet bread …
In short, Lord Meow was a little bored here. It had been missing its master.
"Hehe …"
Hayashi River sneered. This little thing was living so comfortably, but it was still not satisfied. If it stayed in the Black Rock Cave for two days, it would know that this was heaven.
"This little thing is so smart. It is obviously a high-level beast, but it can't speak?" Man Hua was surprised.
As a member of the Centaur Race and the guardian of this domain, he was very familiar with high-level beasts.
High-level beasts were highly intelligent. For example, the Ice Snake King could control its size at will. Other than that, it could speak the human language.
This little blue cat could make the Ice Snake King surrender. Among the high-level beasts, it was clearly of the top bloodline. But it could not speak. This was the first time Man Hua encountered such a thing.
"It should not be the time yet. This little guy is very lazy …" Hayashi River shook his head and said.
Hayashi River had let Blue Kitty do whatever it wanted. This little guy was even reluctant to grow bigger. To put it bluntly, it was lazy.
"It was born less than two years ago? It is still a baby. There is no rush … "Man Hua laughed. He was very fond of Blue Kitty.
"Meow …"
Lan Xiaomiao clenched her two front paws and bowed repeatedly. She was very happy with the Centaur Race old man's words, feeling that this old man was very reasonable. He was not like her master, who was always thinking about how big it was and how it could become a mount.
"Does Mister Man Hua have a clue about this little thing's origin? He was brought out from there … "
Mossy Bone said and looked at Fowler with a mocking expression.
Fowler coughed and cursed the look in his heart. He had brought the wooden ball out. Otherwise, there would not be Blue Kitty.
"That place …"
Man Hua also looked at Fowler and shook his head with a smile. For the past three days, every time he heard about Fowler's past, the Centaur elder would laugh non-stop.
If time could be turned back, he really wanted to tell Cromwell how ridiculous his only descendant was in the future. He really wanted to see the madman of the continent stomping his feet in anger.
"It is hard to say where the collection in that place came from. But it should be related to the ancient high-level beasts. That is for sure …"
Man Hua nodded with certainty. Only the extremely powerful ancient high-level beasts could make a monster like the Ice Snake King surrender.
Of course, what kind of ancient high-level beasts it was would have to be investigated slowly …
Under the lead of the Ice Snake King, the group came to the center of the palace complex, in front of a huge palace.
Entering the palace, there was green energy everywhere. In front of an emerald door, a giant flame rat was lying on a green energy crystal, sleeping soundly and snoring from time to time.
"Another level-seven monster?!"
Bayun and the rest were shocked. They did not know about the existence of the flame rat.
Da Jiao stared at the giant flame rat and could not help but grind his teeth. He had a lot of complaints about this giant rat. Back in the Phantom Flame Mine, he was beaten by Rat Big to the point of almost going berserk.
Even though they were now friends and not enemies, Da Jiao was still brooding over what had happened that day. Now that he saw Big Rat sleeping so comfortably here, Da Jiao felt indignant that his life wasn't as good as a big rat's.
"Meow, Master …"
Rat Big suddenly woke up. Seeing Hayashi River and the rest, he immediately scurried over and kowtowed to Blue Kitty, wagging his tail at Hayashi River.
This scene caused everyone's eyes to stare blankly. The impact of such a giant mouse speaking was not much less than when they saw the giant dragon.
As for Rat Big's origin, Hayashi River did not explain much. This was related to Da Jiao's past, and it was more troublesome to explain. So, he let them think that Rat Big was also a monster that lived in the Sealed Domain.
"Meow, Master's Master, this way please …"
Rat Big was more observant than a few days ago. He took the lead and knocked open the door of the palace.
He secretly told Hayashi River that this palace was a warehouse for [Green Energy Crystals]. Later on, the Ice Snakes used it as a place for their metamorphosis.
As for this door, it was originally a blocked passage, but it was reopened by the Ice Snakes and installed this door.
Bang, bang, bang …
The giant door closed, and green lights lit up one after another. Strange lights intertwined, covering the passage behind the door with a layer of mysterious light.
Man Hua was amazed. A thousand years ago, he had been to the Gem Nation many times, but he had never entered this place.
Obviously, this was a secret place of the Gem Nation. If it wasn't for the Ice Snakes, it would be very difficult for outsiders to enter this place.
After walking for a long time in the passage, the view in front of them suddenly became clear. They came to a huge building. This place was completely abandoned, and there were pieces of green energy crystals everywhere.
On the ground, there were broken devices. In the center of the building, there was a huge broken cylinder that was shining with green light. It was actually made of high purity [Green Energy Crystals].
In the green cylinder, there was a huge mechanical eye, but it was cut in half. From time to time, it emitted light and scanned the surroundings.
Di, di, di …
A series of alarms sounded, and then it quickly weakened. The Ice Snake King was spitting out ice mist, and the rapidly spreading frost made the alarms disappear.
"This place should be the core secret place of the Gem Nation …" Man Hua's eyes widened in shock.
Although he had never been here before, based on his understanding of the Gem Nation, he had heard that there was a top secret place in the Gem Nation. That place contained the top secrets of the Gem Nation, including the manufacturing technology of the [Gem Furnace].
This place had always been a forbidden area of the Gem Nation. Only the highest authority of the Gem Nation could enter.
However, he didn't expect that after a thousand years, he would come here …
