End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 260: Dragon Lizards and Dragons, Pioneers of Blue Star

Ling Yi walked forward and half-knelt on the ground, carefully observing this incredible footprint, and reached out to touch it:

"Logically, there shouldn't be any other species in this place of doom. On the entire blue planet, apart from humans, an intelligent species, there are no other complex creatures that can fuse spinosad genes..."

Lin Feng frowned slightly and proposed different possibilities:
"Didn't you say before that the coverage of the Land of the End can produce quantum entanglement with other trial worlds within a distance of one second of light speed, thereby achieving invasion and fusion?"

"The speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers per second. Perhaps it can reach other planets?"

After hearing this, Long looked up and gave Lin Feng a blank look:
"You have no idea about the scale of the universe. Think about why we use the unit of distance, light-year, to measure and calculate the distance between different galaxies."

"The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, which is no different from running a hundred meters in the universe. From the perspective of the Blue Planet, it is only barely enough to get from the Blue Planet to the Moon, and it is still tens of thousands of kilometers short."

"It would take eight minutes for the electromagnetic waves and sunlight emitted from the surface of the sun to pass through Mercury and Venus and reach the blue planet!"

"The distance between the two is 150 million kilometers. With the average flying speed of a third-order windwing insect of less than Mach 2, it would take 20 years to fly back and forth."

"So the only other species that can enter the Land of the End can be the life forms on the Blue Planet..."

After listening to Long Yi's brief introduction, Lin Feng intuitively realized the huge scale of the universe, the feeling of being unable to see the end, and how despairing it was.

The indigenous civilization on a planet must either develop its own technology to the top level...

Either they gather the strength of the entire clan and cultivate a powerful fourth-order life form, and use their own evolutionary power to lead the clan to the vast sky...

Otherwise, they will be trapped in the cradle of their mother planet for the rest of their lives, until a catastrophe of biological extinction destroys all traces of civilization.

"So, these guys are on Blue Star?"

Lin Feng just felt his mouth was a little dry and whispered.

After observing the depth of the claw marks and measuring the ratio between the five claws and the main paw, Lingyi quickly deduced other relevant information:

"The obsidian formed by the cooling of volcanic magma is actually very hard, enough to withstand the trampling of genetic warriors. So it is difficult to make footprints like this one that are seven or eight centimeters deep with just your footsteps."

"This is not a human footprint. Even a completely deformed man-worm monster cannot have this footprint."

"Furthermore, judging from the size of the paws, the unknown life form should be around four to six meters tall, and weigh about two to three tons."

"This is a level of torso strength that cannot be achieved by humans in the second stage."

"And judging from the five sharp claws on the last claw mark, it can be basically determined that it should be a lizard among all the pre-existing species on Blue Planet..."

As soon as Long Yi finished speaking, the people who had stopped to listen nearby asked in surprise:
"lizard?!"

"Reptiles?!"

Only Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and his pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately realized something.

Lingyi glanced at Lin Feng, nodded and continued:

"Yes, five sharp claws, and no separate round pads. Only the lizards on the Blue Planet have feet like this. Other animals don't have such claws."

Then she stood up, looked at the six Gene Corps leaders present, and continued:

"I think some of you have participated in the underground battle in the county town of Jiangbei, Wucheng. You should know the Jiangnan Changcheng we passed by."

“A city with dinosaur-themed culture.”

"At that time, I talked to City Lord Lin about the mass extinction event that occurred on the Blue Planet 65 million years ago, also known as the dinosaur extinction event."

"There must be something fishy going on here."

"According to my judgment, the dinosaurs have been around for 250 million years, and have evolved through three eras, namely the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods on the blue planet, for a total of 170 million years..."

"Such a long reign..."

"Enough to develop a third-stage evolutionary civilization!"

"It can also accumulate enough genetic capacity to give birth to fourth-order cosmic life!"

"Of course, if we look at the extinction of the synapsids in the Permian period 300 million years ago, reptiles have been around for 230 million years."

"With such a long evolutionary period, even an insignificant little bug has a great chance of evolving to an incredibly complex level!"

"So, the extinction event sixty-five million years ago was definitely not an accident, and a cosmic civilization with fourth-order life could never be completely destroyed by an asteroid with a diameter of only ten kilometers!"

"From the fossils left behind, dinosaurs were the largest species on land in the history of the blue planet. And those Tyrannosaurus Rex and Diplodocus, from the perspective of life level, are at least in the second stage of evolution."

"Just a little weaker than you."

While everyone was still immersed in the remarks that had just been made...

Lin Feng, who was standing by, had already guessed the truth behind the claw marks. He looked at the half-meter-long paw in front of Ling with a cold expression and said:

"If they are really them, could it be that they escaped from King Kai's attack?"

Long Yi ordered the other team members to clean up the volcanic ash on the ground nearby, then shook his head at Lin Feng:

"impossible."

"Don't underestimate King Kai's abilities just because he's a supporting insect king."

"The complete artistic conception power released by a fourth-level life form can only be resisted and escaped by beings of the same level. Even a peak third-level warrior will have no chance of escape once he is locked by a fourth-level life form."

“This qualitative change in the life level is even greater than the gap between the first stage and the third stage.”

"But even though they can't escape being devoured by King Kai, it doesn't mean they can't survive for the time being."

Lin Feng recalled the characteristics of the Zerg race that Long Yi had introduced to him at the Air Force Base, and he quickly understood:

"So what you mean is that these dragon creatures that arrived on the Blue Planet are still alive in King Kai's stomach?"

Long Yi hummed and corrected:
"To be more precise, it should be the folded space inside King Kai's belly, a multi-layered space large enough to accommodate a small country."

"There are also countless Zerg living inside, which can clean up the survivors of the space battleship. Coupled with the negative influence of the realm of the king space, even the third-level life forms from outside will find it difficult to survive there for a long time."

"So if the dragons in the battleship want to survive, they must be implanted with Zerg genes. A cosmic civilization that can develop across star systems will not lack this biotechnology."

"After absorbing the Zerg genes, on the one hand, you can pass the trials in the artistic conception world and steal the Zerg heritage. On the other hand, you can also improve your own disguise, avoid Zerg attacks, and find an opportunity to leave the King Kai space."

"This way, it makes perfect sense logically!"

"And that silver battleship is their space travel vehicle for the return trip. Before the Zerg came, they did not discover the existence of high-level life forms on the Blue Planet."

"These dragons with lizard blood must have come from outer space!"

Lin Feng nodded, and the joy in his eyes at learning the truth disappeared in an instant. After all, it was still unknown whether these guys could contain the Zerg invasion.

Besides, no one knows that the Lizard Dragon Clan, as the former ruler of Blue Star...

How would you view humans today?

The problem at hand is the final outcome of the encounter between the Dragon Clan and Qin Hu.

"Forget it, let's find Qin Hu first. We don't know if these dragons can escape from King Kai's body. The digestive system of a fourth-level life form should be more than enough to deal with them."

"Can you confirm how many there are?"

Lin Feng asked.

At this time, the other nine genetic warriors had already cleaned up all the volcanic ash covering the obsidian on the ground.

An open area was revealed, with a total of eight paw prints.

Ling Yi stepped forward and stopped to observe for a while, then gave a conclusion about the claw marks:
"Based on the different sizes of the claw marks and the depth of the footprints, these should be the traces left by three large bipedal lizards."

"They are all at the peak of the second level, about the same level as you and me. One of them directly captured Qin Hu." "After they kidnapped the person, they followed the edge of the territory covered by the killing state and eventually headed there..."

Everyone looked in the direction that Long Yi pointed, appearing a little confused.

"The claw marks on these pieces are because the lizard stepped on them. Normally, to crush obsidian, a half-meter-long foot would need at least dozens of tons of force to sink so deep."

Upon seeing this, Longyi added that the genetic warriors had not found any traces of claw marks or deep pits anywhere else.

But through its understanding of the creatures, the dragonfly can detect the special pheromones left in the paw prints, and thus roughly determine the direction from which they appear and leave.

Lin Feng nodded and said to everyone:
"Let's go. Be careful this time. We are no longer facing low-intelligence Zerg, but Blue Star pioneers whose evolution and civilization development level far exceed that of humans."

"If they evacuated the Blue Planet 65 million years ago due to some accident, then in their eyes, we are no different from civilized monkeys."

“Don’t take it lightly!”

Everyone nodded together.

After hearing this, Long Yi added:

"The Zerg are not brainless. The spinal worms were just castrated intentionally. After completion, the second-level peak tiger spinal worms have low IQs, which are about the average level of ordinary humans, but they will definitely not be slaughtered like the outside world."

Lin Feng nodded. He knew that spiritual attributes had no direct relationship with IQ.

The higher the spiritual attribute, the faster the brain works, but some things you don’t know just don’t know.

Just like a genius with an IQ of 250 cannot solve all the puzzles and ultimate rules of the universe.

On the contrary, people like Ling Shuyan, who are special awakeners with evolved brains, may one day be able to raise the upper limit of human technological level after hard research.

Leading mankind into the interstellar age.

However, the prerequisite is to resolve the chaos of internal and external troubles first, at least all the invading Zerg must be expelled.

Soon, under the guidance of Longyi, the group circled the edge of the killing realm and traveled for seventy or eighty kilometers. Another active volcano gradually appeared in front of them.

Fortunately, the artistic conception of this volcano is no longer about killing, but the unyielding artistic conception that everyone is familiar with.

"What a pity! If Qin Hu could avoid the influence of the killing state, he might be able to get here on his own."

As everyone left the edge of the killing state, when the dragonfly withdrew and the mental isolation shield covering the nine people was removed, the team members who felt the slight impact could not help but speak.

Even the lightest scarlet killing energy made those who became genetic warriors feel uncomfortable all over. Certain murderous thoughts in their hearts frequently emerged under the constant temptation of itching on their body surface.

They knew very well that even if they were reborn here, without the spiritual care of Longyi, they would not be able to hold on for long and would soon be assimilated by the murderous spirit and turned into deformed lunatics who only knew how to fight.

"Qin Hu was able to be led away from the killing state by this group of lizardmen, and he might still have a chance of survival. If he stayed where he was, he might have lost his mind and died at the hands of the tiger spine worm."

A chapter Zerg leader complained.

Lin Feng shook his head:
"If the group of lizards find out Qin Hu's human identity, they will definitely torture him to extract a confession. The only good thing is that they won't kill Qin Hu. After all, if they come back after he dies, they won't be able to find him."

"Moreover, the number of these pioneers will not be too large. After they understand the situation in the Land of the End, they may end their state of mind trials as soon as possible."

"For them who have the strength of the second-level peak, it is still easy to pass the small trial copy..."

"Shh!" Long Yi suddenly turned around and covered Lin Feng's mouth with his hand while he was talking. At the same time, he raised a finger and made a gesture to silence the people behind him.

The group of people reacted immediately, lowered their bodies, and hid behind a huge obsidian rock along the way.

Looking out over the edge of the boulder into the distance.

Long Yi spoke in a low voice, interrupting their peeping:
"I haven't encountered any yet. It's just that the concentration of lizard-related pheromones in the air has suddenly increased. Out of caution, I want you to shut up and not reveal your tracks."

"We still don't know the details of this group of guys, so we should be careful. It is estimated that they are likely to discover us within one kilometer."

"Three of them form a group, so there must be different divisions of labor for investigation and vigilance. Even the always cautious Qin Hu was discovered and captured by them, so we must be more vigilant."

"From now on, everyone must follow the footsteps of the person in front of you. Those who follow behind, remember to collect more volcanic ash to cover your tracks."

"Keep silent the entire time. Even if you spot suspicious activity, don't make any noise. Use hand gestures to alert others!"

As soon as Longyi finished speaking, everyone nodded in unison.

Then, under her leadership, they went deep into the Unyielding Realm territory where the lizard monster was, looking for Qin Hu's trace.

Soon, after walking for more than ten kilometers and arriving near the foot of the Unyielding Volcano, they unexpectedly encountered a large group of spiny worm corpses.

They are all artistic conception Zerg refreshed here, with strength ranging from the first to the second level.

The way he killed them was quick and neat.

At the edge of the hot spring area, there were several mid-to-late stage second-order tiger-spine worms. Holes with a diameter of one meter appeared on the worm corpses, and the wounds went directly through the armor and the whole body.

The wounded cross section was filled with a burning smell.

The insect meat inside was directly roasted.

Lin Feng checked it out and found that its power was a little bit stronger than the armor-piercing cannon, but not as strong as the ion laser cannon. It was comparable to the electromagnetic cannon.

Ling Yi walked forward, read it and said:

"It should be the weapons of the lizard dinosaurs. The number of participants in their state of mind trial should be at least over a hundred, and possibly far more."

"There are so many peak second-level masters, enough to condense such lethal weapons in the trial world of the realm of mind!"

"This is not good news..."

"But the effective range of energy weapons has always been poor. We are small in size, so we have an advantage in long-range confrontation."

Lin Feng nodded:
"Let's go. These corpses are still fresh. They must have died not long ago. They are probably just ahead..."

"We have set our sights on the Indomitable King Spinosaurus in this volcano."

Although the Unyielding Volcano in the End of the World looks larger than that in the Trial World, it is only two thousand meters high, and the base of the mountain is only about ten kilometers wide.

After searching around, they will soon find the lizard dragon clan that kidnapped Qin Hu.

The group set out again, this time being more cautious. They even hunched their backs and lowered their bodies as they moved forward, trying to minimize their exposure on the rocky and rugged mountain foot.

Finally, Long Yi stopped behind a huge rock stained yellow by sulfur and waved his hand for everyone to hide.

Following her gaze...

One kilometer ahead, several tall humanoid monsters wearing armor and equipped with sophisticated equipment appeared.

They stood on huge rocks, more than five meters high.

There is a thick vertical tail more than two meters long behind the waist, which is used to balance the upright body.

As these guys turned back...

Lin Feng and his companions, who were watching intently, finally saw their true colors...

These are a group of monsters with lizard heads covered with fangs and scales.

This confirms Lin Feng and the others’ previous speculations!

I had my wisdom tooth removed today due to periodontitis at 10 o'clock.

The root of the wisdom tooth is hooked, and the doctor had to use a lot of force to pry it out. I almost fainted from the pain after prying it out.

I took a look at the wisdom tooth and found some bone fragments in the root. It had grown to the mandible. It was really outrageous.
