Chapter 597 Unexpected Changes
Not all of Ximo Sky Island belongs to Ximo Palace.
Different from the exaggerated island utilization rate of the Silver and Gold Union, the construction of the Earth Union is more similar to the Dawn Union, and even worse than the Dawn Alliance. The city cannot cover the entire sky island.
In addition to several cities centered on Ximo City, there are also other small settlements.
They do not directly belong to Ximo Palace. They may be small and medium-sized forces that survive in the cracks, or they may have been the offline of Ximo Palace. They are not now, and they will probably be in the future.
Not to mention, there is now a special kind of settlement appearing on many empty islands.
That is the new area divided by boundary visitors.
The powerful boundary visitors do not always obey the constraints of the existing order of the broken world, so they spontaneously and independently planned the area.
Due to the spread of people with ulterior motives, that kind of place has been called a "foreign area".
One of the most common rejection arguments is that the rulers of foreign regions are not human beings. Even if some rulers of foreign regions are exactly the same as humans, they are more different from ordinary people than a disaster. Those who are not from my race must have different intentions, so they all have bad intentions.
Whether true or false, the emergence of such rumors has indeed deepened the views of a large number of people on boundary visitors.
However, this statement cannot affect those refugees who are shut out of normal cities.
Rather than being unwilling to accommodate them in the city, it would be better to go to those foreign areas to look for opportunities.
Foreign regions do not refuse refugees.
The main reason for this is that the conditions in the foreign area are really poor. The refugees here can find a piece of open space to build their own houses and even have a place to sleep.
Wan Yi trekked all the way on Ximo Sky Island, feeling as if he had just escaped from the research institute and wandered in the desert outside 014 Sky Island.
Who still remembers the vampire buried in the wasteland outside Sky Island City 014?
Now that I'm afraid it's not all ruined, Wan Yi won't bother to go back and move.
Thinking back on it, that guy also tasted quite unpleasant.
The terrain of Ximo Sky Island, just like its name, the desert also occupies a very large area.
But Wan Yi will not be as embarrassed as before.
We passed several small cities and settlements on the way, and they all said they would no longer accept any more refugees.
Looking at the densely packed heads, Wan Yi didn't hold on and left directly. This was not the place he wanted to explore.
In the end, he followed the guidance of a kind person and came to a strange area.
The role of the ruler of this foreign area is not as easy to distinguish as the two that Wan Yi has met before. This is actually the case for most of the visitors from the boundary.
After a large number of fragments are mixed together, those who do not retain their sanity can only become monsters. There are very few who retain their sanity. They are very lucky to have a visible body. More visitors from other worlds are completely different.
The ruler here is a powerful lizard man.
However, when Wan Yi came in, he naturally did not see his true form directly.
The area of this settlement is quite large. There are rows of low buildings built of earth and stone on the wasteland. In addition, there are more simple iron houses, tents and other residences.
There are many people coming and going.
Of note are the small lizardfolk who are direct subordinates of the ruler and patrol the settlement repeatedly.
"It looks very original."
"After all, the settlement has just been established. As a boundary visitor, it is difficult to obtain any resources. Basically, we can only use local materials."
"Can humans live well under the rule of the Lizardmen? Will priests be required to sacrifice boys and girls regularly?"
"Ask the Lizard Man if he eats cockroaches?"
"The best thing you can say is really a cockroach."
Other Wan Yi chattered in his mind, Wan Yi walked through the settlement.
There was no interrogation, and the supervision of people entering and leaving this settlement was not strict.
However, it seems that internal troublemakers will be severely punished to ensure a minimum level of security.
While walking, Wan Yi saw what seemed to be a conflict breaking out between the two men, and then their respective female companions joined in. The quarrel was followed by a fierce street fight.
Wan Yi looked inexplicably moved.
What a normal fight!
There is no such kind of fist and kick skills that can make the world full of vigor, there is no special energy that can add up to a color palette, and there is no weird super power that suddenly changes the color of the world.
It was really just a fight.
It was so normal that Wan Yi couldn't adapt to it. He thought of a corner of the complete world in the past, and memories came to his mind.
"Are you okay? Why is it bad to miss him? I miss him because of the fight." He immediately complained in his mind.
"Don't tell me, I was quite moved when I saw it."
"It's even a mixed doubles fight between men and women, which is quite touching."
"Huh? Why did you stop? Intermission? Still arguing. Still arguing."
"It seems that the reason for the conflict was stated. The man flirted with someone else's girlfriend and then got slapped by someone else, and the quarrel started."
"The first wife of the troublemaker doesn't seem to know about it."
"Okay, then the second half has begun. The situation is now three against one, and the troublemaker's first girlfriend will take the lead in launching the attack."
The little princess has already begun to explain in my mind.
There are little princesses everywhere at times like this.
Unfortunately, this farce did not continue and ended with the entrance of two lizardmen.
However, these two lizard men did not show any distinction between right and wrong, and directly took away all four people present.
In the midst of the shouting, the surrounding refugees changed from watching the excitement at first to looking frightened. Killing chickens to scare monkeys is very effective in this disorderly and chaotic environment.
Wan Yi followed the two lizard men directly.
The two pairs of men and women were finally dragged into a fence made of earth and stone.
No matter how much one of them shouted, the two lizardmen remained unmoved and left immediately after being escorted.
Many people have been imprisoned in the fence, and it is open to the public. Other refugees around can directly see it, which is very embarrassing.
"These little lizard people have very low emotional responses. They don't seem to have high IQs."
"There are traces of magic."
"A magical creation?"
"Go directly to the leading lizard man and have a look."
"Huh? It seems there's no need to look for it."
Wan Yi looked directly not far away. The crowd dispersed, and a tall light green figure slowly walked over.
The whole body is covered with thick scales, and the eye-catching and angular lizard head even looks a bit like a giant dragon. The human-shaped body is strong and tall, with sharp claws on both hands reflecting the cold light, and the tail behind it lightly sweeps the ground.
This is it.
The leader lizard man came to the fence, opened the door and grabbed the frivolous scumbag who had just been sent in, then turned around and walked away, seemingly only catching one person at a time.
People around him were talking a lot about such powerful monsters as lizardmen.
For those who have just come to this world, witnessing such a scene at close range is still very shocking.
"Another person being used as food rations."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"Will we also be captured in the future? I kind of regret coming here... It's really a different area!"
"If you're not satisfied, just leave. The lizard people here won't stop you. How can you survive outside?"
"Yes, and the fence currently seems to be filled with troublemakers. We should stay calm."
"They might just be letting us relax our vigilance. Tsk, if those people hadn't taken us in, would I have come here looking for a chance? What on earth is going on in this world?"
Related discussions abounded.
The big lizard man led the howling frivolous man into a thick earth and stone building.
Suddenly, it glanced behind it.
The torch burned quietly, the shadow swayed, but there was nothing more.
It sniffed twice, then turned back and continued deeper.
Finally we came to a huge room.
This room is filled with various bottles and jars and primitive-looking utensils.
For Wan Yi, the sense of déjà vu was like seeing the supervisor who was studying ancient curse techniques, and Red who was learning witchcraft for the first time in the morning.
The lizard man threw the flirtatious man directly into the pot in the center of the room.
Then he sketched a few more strokes on the magic circle that had been drawn around the pot, and started adding things to the pot.
"You probably don't want to eat."
"Do you still carve formations when you eat at your house?"
"I know how to do it. There are some mysterious techniques that can optimize the quality of meat. I will do it when I don't have time to cook." The supervisor brother showed up and explained.
"ah?"
"But what this lizard man added is not a condiment, and it shouldn't be for eating."
After saying that, the lizard man added the things, nodded slightly, then directly picked up the huge pot lid and covered the frivolous man who was still yelling, and then began to recite some kind of spell in his ferocious mouth.
Magic reaction appears.
Wan Yi also uses magic power, along with pressure and negative energy, but he rarely plays magic, so he is more sensitive to this aspect.
Although the magic power of different worldviews is different, in the broken world, many powers will be greatly unified in the end, eliminating many miscellaneous characteristics and retaining some specificity.
As the spell was cast, the noise in the pot soon became quieter.
When all the dust settled, the lid was lifted.
What appeared was a small lizard man.
Wan Yi: "Huh?"
The little lizard man looked at his own back in confusion, then opened his mouth and screamed: "Scare!"
This reaction made the big lizard man's eyes light up: "Do you remember who you are?" It stretched out its hand and waved it in front of the little lizard man's eyes.
The little lizard man chirped and wanted to say something, but it seemed that he had not adapted to the new body and could not make normal sounds or speak at all.
But its reaction satisfied the giant lizard man more and more.
"Finally, a transformation method that can preserve the intelligence of humans here has been developed!" the big lizard man said with a smile.
Wan Yi, who was watching this scene from the side, was already surprised.
It's not because this spell is so subtle.
For Wan Yi, who had studied with Red, the lizard man's methods were actually rough. At a casual glance, there were many areas worthy of improvement.
but!
This lizard man transformation spell is equivalent to directly giving special power to humans!
It is a category of qualitative change!
"Has it reached this point?" Wan Yi thought to himself.
After the boundary belt collapses, it will reach this point one day.
The qualitative change no longer sticks to the absorption of fragments, but directly obtains power.
It sounds wonderful, but Wan Yi doesn't think that he can bypass the burden of the sequelae of qualitative change without absorbing the fragments.
And, the occurrence of this change not only means new changes within human beings in the world, but also means that the changes in this world seem to be about to enter the next stage.
Combined with the sudden appearance of fragments of "earth" clues.
I feel like there will be a lot of trouble later.
