  Chapter 689 I will borrow your head for use (5700)

  Dragon Flame. Almost bound to a real dragon, the legendary flame that burns nothing.

According to many legends on the land of Terra, although real dragons have different shapes, abilities and postures, all of them have the ability to breathe out some kind of dragon flames, and any mortal thing will die under the power beyond human imagination. Burned and turned into ashes.

   This legend is not true. Or in other words, not entirely correct.

It is true that all true dragons have the ability to breathe, but not only in the form of flames. In fact, true dragons that breathe frost, dissociate magneto-optic, high-speed particle beams, and even some kind of solid shells are never uncommon. Opposite 'supergravitational engulfment' and 'magnetic pull' both exist.

  The only thing in common is that most of the creatures who face the breath power of the real dragon find it difficult to tell others about the characteristics they have observed.

  Because most of them have been turned into fly ashes, and they can no longer speak human words.

Xiou's Flame of the Void originated from the poison of the Void Demon that he had endured. It has a strong power of spiritual corrosion and mental destruction. The flames that are translucent on the outside but mixed with some scarlet flames inside were taken from him. It spewed out in mid-air and shot directly at Ke De's back.

  Kode was furiously cursing the information about Flameland in his heart—who told him that the child of the King of the Mountain had no fighting power, and was even dragged down by the other party? Although the opponent's attack is direct and has no prior experience, its power is astonishing!

  He could only jump forward and prostrate on the ground, narrowly dodging Xiou's breath.

  Just being brushed by the Void Flame, the mountain chief couldn't help but feel startled, feeling that his memory and rationality were rapidly fading... Fortunately, he was at the third energy level, so he returned to normal in just a moment.

  If he was hit directly... As a "Soul Purifying Tree" with similar abilities, he might not die, but his mind would be burnt out, and he would become a mentally handicapped man who can only be abaaaba!

   Might as well be dead!

"run!"

  Kode didn't hesitate, his prostrate body rolled forward like a ball, then he got up directly, and strode forward to escape.

   The most correct choice. Fighting a two-on-one battle with a real dragon and a human walker suspected of being a real dragon, Ke De didn't think he was an invincible hero who would win every battle.

   You must run when you should run, and you will die if you don't run!

  In front of Ke De was a steep cliff at the edge of the Steel Dragon Nest Mountains, and under the cliff was a dense forest. He could use the terrain to speed up and escape as long as he rushed down the cliff and hid in the forest.

  But how could Ian let the other party go?

In order to face a third energy level head-on, Ian basically has all his cards in his cards, whether it is the rock-forged knight, the ether crystal, the ancient dragon core, or the "origin core system" researched during this period of time, and even the computing unit assistant. , all have been used.

   After seeing all this, Kodd must die today.

   "Want to escape?"

  Ian raised his left hand, the ether crystal and the core of the ancient dragon were operating at the same time, and amidst the violent heartbeat, he threw the Abyss Iron Sword in his hand.

The source quality of the first energy level can only strengthen the body in the body, and flesh and blood can resist most of the damage. As long as it is not a high-power weapon such as alchemy artillery, ordinary guns are meaningless, and the source quality of the second energy level echoes Naturally, every move can cause changes in the surrounding phenomena, ignite a fire, condense solid ice, and lift the rock wall. A person is an armed fortress.

But the third energy level, or in other words, the source matter condensed to the third energy level, its existence itself is no different from the strongest and densest matter, it is comparable to ultra-high-strength nano-alloys, Coupled with the heart light shield, even if one person faces the entire alchemy artillery position and the bombing of strategic weapons alone, he can be unscathed and suffer a little impact at most.

  However, in battles of the same level, except for sublimators who specialize in the defense system and have the source quality armor, no one will ever hard-on the enemy's weapon that contains the source quality.

Because the extremely high-purity source quality itself is already close to the "primordial ether" mixed with source quality and spiritual energy, it has direct interference and destructive power to the heart light shield, and can destroy the body protection position of the third-level powerhouse .

   Losing the heart light shield will make many attacks that were not fatal at first become fatal.

   For example, this sword.

The Abyss Iron Sword, which entrusted almost all of Ian's source quality, squeezed all the surrounding air away, forming a twisted vacuum sharp current, which roared beyond the sound, and pulled out a vacuum blasting channel visible to the naked eye in midair , the aftermath continued to spread in all directions, and half of the clouds in the sky were directly blasted away, revealing a cylindrical hollow.

  The black flying sword moved straight forward, piercing through Ke De's left shoulder mercilessly. The huge force knocked Ke De down at the moment of the hit, and his body smashed a huge semicircular hole on the ground.

  The mountain chief was crushed to the bottom of the pit with a muffled groan, half of his body was almost shattered by the shock, and he was completely unable to move.

  However, the heart light body emerged from the severely injured Ke De's body.

  The wooden roots spread out of thin air, forcibly taking over the temporarily immobile body, and using the power of the mind, forcibly making the almost stagnant body move again.

   This is the power of the third energy level. Their will will turn into reality, their firm belief is their own shield, their belief is an indestructible blade-even death cannot kill them temporarily, before the heart light body completely dissipates, even a corpse cannot Can exert incredible power.

  Gritting his teeth, Ke De slowly stood up, he has to leave, he can't die here.

  But accompanied by another extremely sharp howling, the steel pattern sword flew with a slightly weaker momentum than before, and cut off Ke De's right leg.

  Kode, who had just stood up, fell to the ground again—even though his mind, body, and body could turn into a new pair of legs, he ran out of time.

  The shadow of the dragon and the figure descended in front of him at the same time.

  —lost.

   This word flashed in Ke De's mind, and he knew very well that he had no chance of turning over. Ian can face him head-on by himself, and a real dragon whose strength is probably not inferior to or even surpasses his own is overwhelming. The possibility of him winning the battle is zero, and there is a chance of escaping.

   It's just that now, escape is impossible, and I am destined to die here, under the steel dragon's nest.

  Hmm... dying in the Holy Land, it's not a bad ending.

  Thinking of this, Kodd felt a little relieved. He forcibly turned his prostrate body around, lay on his back at the bottom of the pit, and looked at the top of the steel dragon's nest in the distance with his absent-minded eyes.

   There, the endless rain clouds gathered the natural source matter in the entire Baisen Mountains, forming a huge and incomparable spiritual energy field, making the sky full of thunder intertwined like a net.

   Magnificent and magnificent.

   "It's pretty good."

He said softly, turned his head slightly, and looked at Ian who was already standing beside him: "Although I don't understand why you are so strong, I probably know why that guy Manya trusts you so much, and even sits down for you." It has earned the title of 'Dragon God Messenger'."

"It's a pity." Blood flowed from the corner of Kod's mouth with pieces of internal organs, but his words were still usually clear, with a trace of regret: "It would be great if I knew you earlier... there is an unreasonable person like you. Genius helps... we mountain people will definitely be able to truly control our own destiny."

   "Your conditions are too poor."

Ian shook his head. He saw that Ke De's life was irreversibly passing away, and even his mind light body was taken back by him, and he completely gave up resistance: "Even if you knew me earlier and became friends with me, I would at most be Now abolish all your sublimated organs, save your life, and let you live incognito for the rest of your life. For the third energy level, it is more uncomfortable than death, isn't it?"

"What's more, there are too many mistakes and omissions in what you did. The Jiamu tribe enslaved other tribes to serve themselves. This makes destroying you itself an opportunity to reunite the mountain people as a whole. For me, for the mountain people, Kakibe is doomed."

   "...But in the narrow mountainous area of ​​Nanling, if I don't compete for the resources of other tribes, how can I grow myself?"

  Kode's eyes have begun to slacken. He still has a lot of unwillingness in his heart, as well as endless remorse and anger, but at this moment, the first thing this man recalls in his heart is the expectations his mother and teachers had for him back then.

  —He wants to be the envoy of the Dragon God.

  The envoy of the dragon **** can lead all the mountain people to reunite and make them great again.

  But he didn't believe in the messenger of the Dragon God.

No one can reunify the many mountain tribes that have been dispersed by the empire, using various means, various autonomous regions and colonies... The excessive population makes each tribe firmly occupy its own territory, digging The resources in the land are supplied to the empire in exchange for enough food for survival.

   Even if their own rations are not enough, how can the mountain people have the courage and opportunity to resist the empire? But the resources are so limited, if they don't accept the support of Feiyandi, and don't completely destroy the inherent pattern of the mountain people in the entire Baisen Mountain Range, even if the dragon **** messenger really appears, how can he make the mountain people reunify and prosper again?

  Kord doesn't believe in the legend of the dragon **** messenger, but he has been trying to be that kind of hero.

   At least, he wants to be the hero of Kagibe.

The mountain people don't need other tribes, they only need Jiamubu... As long as they accept the resources of Feiyan Land, launch a rebellion, and destroy the food sources of other mountain people, they can use resources to rule a large part of the mountain people's tribes and establish a temporary' Independent Mountain People's League'.

   Then, through the war with the empire and other mountain people, distinguish between "you" and "us", and while dividing the mountain people, they also truly absorb some mountain people into their own forces.

   And next... As long as the plan is successful, Fei Yandi will severely damage the Nauman City and Nanling's imperial force in the next plan, then the mountain people will have the capital to be truly independent!

   Even in the process, the mountain people will collapse, half or even more than half of the population will die... But Jiamubu will absorb blood from other mountain tribes, accept the support of Feiyandi, grow rapidly, and then become synonymous with all mountain people.

  When all the mountain tribes became part of the Jiamu tribe, the mountain people would be united.

  —This is not the messenger of the Dragon God.

   This is just an ordinary, despicable political speculator, a "mountain traitor" who betrayed his compatriots in exchange for his own growth.

  In Ke De’s dream, the Mountain People’s Alliance he wanted to create was a sacrifice of his tribe from the very beginning, and its existence was a stepping stone for Jiamube’s growth. He is aware of this, aware of his own evil and despicableness, but he does it without hesitation.

   But now, everything is reversed.

  As Ian said, Kodd knew very well that when his third energy level died, the destruction of Kamube would instead become an opportunity for the other party to unite with other mountain people who were persecuted by Kamube.

   And Ian can use the corpse of this 'villain' to become a dragon **** messenger who is more recognized by the mountain people?

-so now.

  —Am I a sacrifice instead?

   "But that's the only way I can think of."

  The reality is completely opposite to the dream, and the irony is so great that Kodd couldn't help but want to laugh. He smiled wryly, and as he walked towards death, he muttered to himself: "I haven't read many books... I really can't think of other ways..."

   "Ian... a genius who is famous in the imperial capital, even Flameland knows your reputation—you may really have a way to guide the mountain people to prosper again."

   "Instead of being like me, let them become the sacrifices of your dreams?"

  Kord stared at Ian, he wanted to wait for an answer, an answer he couldn't think of, couldn't answer.

   "Never read a book...Yeah."

After being silent for a while, Ian sighed. He drew his two swords from the enemy's body and brought up a lot of blood: "If everyone can learn from the mistakes of history and be familiar with the knowledge of books... A lot of mistakes could probably have been avoided."

   "I do have a way. In my eyes, the mountain people are not sacrifices, but useful tools and necessary materials. Just like myself, there is no difference."

   "So now, let me borrow your head."

  The envoy of the Dragon God swung his sword and beheaded Chief Kede without hesitation.

  A powerhouse of the third energy level dies.

  Even though there were all kinds of regrets and pains in his heart, Ke De Jiamu did not resist. He faced death calmly and died under the steel dragon nest, the sacred place of the mountain people.

Ian took off his head and hung it on his waist, then turned his head and looked at Xiou, who had been silent all this time, watching all this seriously, and the familiar red-haired dragon **** Xiouzhen's back .

   "Xio, your female body is stronger than that of a male."

Ian raised his brows, glanced at Xiou's body, and then at the red-haired dragon girl. He could see this at a glance: "Men only have the first energy level, but women have... close to the third energy level." Strength! If relying on the light body of the heart, there is also the strength of the third energy level."

  【After all, I have been using it for decades, and I must cultivate it to be stronger】

  Healthy, Xiou responded with a hearty smile, with a sense of proficiency in "after graduating from the trumpet, let's open the next trumpet".

The dragon head of the former 'Monsterosaurus', which is no longer ferocious, turned slightly, and the pair of golden dragon pupils focused on Ian, curiously said: [Ian, your strength...ah, I shouldn't ask this, my mother said , what do you say, we admit it]

   "Then I really have to thank the King of the Mountain for his thoughtfulness."

  Ian couldn't help but laugh a little. In fact, the reason why he ended the battle so quickly was precisely because of Xiou's entry, which prevented him from exposing the power related to the immobile Fortified City.

  Everything else is easy to say and can be explained, the big deal is pushed to the Dragon Transformation Organ and the Holy Land's blessing to the Dragon God's Messenger.

   But it would be bad if news about the Immovable Fortified City leaked from Xio.

   I have to say that Ian gained a lot of precious information from the battle with Ke De.

On the other side, Ian can be said to have used almost all the means except the armor, and he did his best. This is a tie with a third-level power-Tara's way of sublimation is really comparable Solid, Ian has so many failures, it is very difficult to leapfrog, and it can even be said that he may not be able to beat.

   But on the other hand, if such a strict system can be transformed and revived with new vitality... that would indeed be a 'major event' enough to change the social structure of Terra!

  Ian glanced at the body of Kod Jiamu at the bottom of the pit. He waved his hand, and the surrounding rainwater gathered into streams and rivers, carrying the surrounding rainwater slurry to cover the pit.

  As time goes by, a tree of pure soul may grow again on this land, and on the bank of this holy mountain, it will become the food for many latecomers to pursue their dreams.

  This may also be the final ending that is almost universal for all plant sublimators.

   "Let's go, Siou."

  Ian didn't say much. Curd Jiamu is indeed a strong enemy, but he is not the real final boss. Capturing the opponent's head is only the first step, and he still has a lot to do next.

  [Naturally so] Xiou nodded slightly, and the mechanical wing on his right hung down, and there was even a ladder-like structure on it: 【Where are we going? 】

   "To Frodo Borough."

  Ian climbed the ladder and stood beside the dragon girl. With the steady and rhythmic vibration, the dragon flapped its wings and took off.

  He raised his hand and pointed to the distance, with a calm but firm tone: "We are going there to stop the civil war among the mountain people. Ke De's head will be the reason for the truce. They will all be part of my strength in the future, and we can't continue to bleed."

   "Whether they want it or not, peace must come."

  【…Ian】

In fact, Xiou didn't get along with the young man for too long, he just became interested in this extraordinary 'individual' because of the other party's dragon blood and later his reputation as a genius—and then Ian helped him get out of Ava Breaking away from the laboratory, and allowing him to heal his Void Toxin distortion, are all crucial help.

   Zhenlong wants to understand his friends better so that he can help each other better in the future.

  So he asked: [Do you really want to be the leader of the mountain people? In the past hundreds of years, many mountain people have tried to take this road, but most of them have failed because of the empire, because of the mountain people themselves, because of insufficient resources, and because of insufficient land... I heard what Ke De said, although he is a bad person , I have never read a book, but even if I read, it is difficult to find a solution to the problem]

  【Moreover, when you quell the disputes among the people in the mountains, you will become a thorn in the side of Flaming Land! They will absolutely do whatever it takes to inspire the extreme independent faction among the mountain people to assassinate you, and even use force to kill you themselves! 】

   Xiou stated the facts objectively. He wanted to know where his youthful ambition was headed, and whether he and his mother needed help in the name of True Dragon or Dragon Worship.

   And Ian gave Him the answer.

   "Nothing that exists can solve the 'present dilemma'. Only the 'future technology' can solve the 'present dilemma'."

  "New things that have never appeared before can solve old problems that have been deposited for a long time. Although technology cannot solve all difficulties, without new technologies, difficulties are hopeless."

Turning his head, Ian said with a smile: "Xio, if you are really curious, I hope you can stay in the Xiahui Territory and witness with your own eyes that I am going to bring the mountain people, the Baisen Mountains, and the Nanling Province. change."

   Xiou's prosthetic dragon girl was slightly taken aback. She blinked and smiled: "Okay. But I have to tell my mother."

-it is good! Finally, I can leave the dragon's nest openly! Xiou thought of it, and felt flattered in his heart.

   And, once you get to know Ian well, you can ask him if he can use his face to make a new prosthetic body!

-very good! On the surface, the territory has the protection of a third-level real dragon, so there are many things to say. Ian thought.

There is no third energy level on the surface, and there are still relatively few things that Xiahuiling can do, but if it has something to do with the real dragon, especially Xiou is the heir of the king of the mountain, then any drastic changes will be nothing more than " True dragon technology' nothing more, not a big deal.

   "As for Flameland, there are other extremist independent mountain people, but I'm not worried."

Turning his head, Ian looked at the flowing clouds that kept sweeping backwards forward—Xio's speed was very fast, and it seemed that he would reach the Frodo Autonomous Region in a short time: "What they have is nothing more than the simplest violence. ...and the answer to violence is nothing more than greater violence, stronger barriers, and stronger weapons."

  At this moment, the inheritor of Fudo Fortress said calmly: "If we really get to that point."

   "I believe that I am the one standing still."
