Chapter 400: Level Seven Again?
"President, they seem to have discovered us."
Lu Bin looked up at the floating island and spoke.
"I'm coming down."
Mo Lan was also looking at the floating island. On one of the floating islands above, a group of stone eagles spread their wings and flew high. Their sharp eagle eyes seemed to lock onto Mo Lan and others who appeared next to the abyss. They left the abyss directly from the sky and then swooped down.
"It's coming, it's only level five at best, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Mo Lan said casually, but his eyes were staring at these stone eagles carefully.
"Hey, Lu Bin, why do all the things in the earth elemental world and the fire elemental world grow into the shapes of animals or humans?
The shapes of animals have evolved over countless years and are related to their survival, but these stone men and magma men are not like that. If animals change their shape, they may die and be eliminated by nature.
It doesn’t matter how long they grow, why are they all in the shape of animals?”
"Maybe the animals are more beautiful? Or are some of the dead people and animals reincarnated here?"
"reincarnation?"
Mo Lan shook his head.
"I think it's because it looks better. If you just take a random photo, it might not look good.
After all, the forms of animals have evolved over countless years and are relatively reasonable, and then they were directly copied.
Of course, there may also be factors related to reincarnation, and you can study it if you are interested.”
The stone eagle was getting closer and closer, and Mo Lan watched quietly.
"Well, these stone eagles are also made of stone, so how do they fly ? Stones are so heavy, they shouldn't be able to fly, right?
What kind of spell is that?"
Mo Lan pondered. The stone eagle had a yellowish-brown appearance and was made entirely of stone. However, it was extremely delicate, with every detail visible, from its feathers to its claws. It looked like a real eagle, except that its flesh and blood had turned into rock.
The aggressive stone eagle swooped down like a real eagle hunting, with its claws pointing downward and its head raised, it formed a straight line and grabbed towards Mo Lan and the others at the fastest speed.
Mo Lan silently pinched out a fireball and held it in his hand. The diving stone eagle was stunned, its direction slightly tilted, its claws fell to the ground, its wings folded, and it stood on the ground like a gentleman. The whole process was smooth and not abrupt at all. There was no sign that these stone eagles had previously targeted Mo Lan and others for attack.
The leading Shi Ying glanced at the fireball in Mo Lan's hand and looked at Mo Lan without looking away.
"What are you doing here?"
With the cry of an eagle, a spiritual wave spread out. Mo Lan raised his eyebrows, extinguished the fireball, and used magic to connect with the stone eagle.
Shi Ying naturally couldn't speak human language, so Mo Lan translated the information contained in his mental fluctuations into roughly this meaning.
"I'll take a look here, why, is that not okay?"
"Of course, I'm just passing by and asking. Please do as you please. Also, I suggest you leave quickly, otherwise you will be in danger if the strong men from other tribes come."
After Shi Ying finished speaking, he severed the mental connection, kicked his legs, spread his wings and flew high. After circling in the air, he landed on the floating island which was about several hundred meters in diameter.
The smile on Mo Lan's face gradually disappeared, and Lu Bin next to him narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"Why are these stone eagles so intelligent?"
Mo Lan pondered for a moment and then spoke.
“Shiying doesn’t know, but the body structure of the earth puppet I summoned before is very different from that of a human, but the way it controls its body is similar to that of flesh and blood creatures.
They also use nerves and muscles to control their bodies, but their flesh and blood have all turned into soil and stone.
They also have a brain, and if the brain is destroyed, they will die. Perhaps it is because of this body structure that it is easier to generate intelligence with a brain. "
"Is that so?"
Lu Bin rubbed his temple.
“The difference between the Earth Elemental Realm and the Fire Elemental Realm is too great. Although the lava beasts in the Fire Elemental Realm have a certain level of intelligence, they are only limited to the level of wild beasts.
At the level of Stone Eagles, they shouldn't be considered as monsters, but aliens, right?"
Mo Lan nodded upon hearing this.
"Yes, so these floating islands can be regarded as a gathering place for a group of alien races."
After hearing this, Lu Bin looked at the floating city with a slightly different look.
So far, the only alien race they have come into contact with is the underground dwarves. Due to certain reasons of the dwarves, there is only a small-scale exchange , and the rest is within the earth elemental realm.
“Aliens… I’ve heard before that outside the three great empires there are aliens ruling the world, but I’ve never come into contact with them. I didn’t expect to run into aliens here again.
President, Shi Ying just mentioned the strong ones from his tribe... There are probably more than one alien race here, and there should be even stronger ones.
No, it’s already here, level six?
Chairman, should we withdraw first and wait for the chariot to arrive before doing other work?"
Lu Bin pointed to a relatively large floating island close to them and said that this floating island was as big as one or two small towns and was not small among all the floating islands.
I saw a group of stone lions jumping down from the floating island, each of them was as high as one or two stories.
Mo Lan glanced at it.
"Why leave? It's only level six, and the chariot is already on the way. There's no rush... Forget it, let's go."
More than a dozen stone lions landed on a huge rock. Some unknown method was used to make the rock descend rapidly and quickly fall towards the direction of Mo Lan and others.
When he got closer, Mo Lan could sense the presence of five or six sixth-level stone lions. Mo Lan's tone changed immediately.
They turned around and left, but before they had gone far the stone lion landed at the place where they were before, and then chased after Mo Lan and the others.
Due to gravity, Mo Lan and the others could not increase their speed, and the group of stone lions, perhaps because they were familiar with the environment, quickly chased after Mo Lan and the others, and the distance between them was rapidly shortened.
Mo Lan frowned, flew up, and threw out the fireball that he had been holding in his hand for a long time.
The fireball landed on the ground in front of the stone lions.
boom!
The fireball exploded, and the scorching flames melted the rocks, leaving a large pit on the ground. The stone lions in the front all had many minor injuries on their bodies.
Mo Lan pinched out another fireball in his hand, looked at them coldly, then turned and left.
This group of stone lions did not chase after them anymore, but silently stared at Mo Lan and the others as they left.
After Mo Lan and a few others walked away, he extinguished the fireball and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
"With such a rich earth element, there shouldn't be a seventh-level earth element on the floating island, right?"
Although Mo Lan picked up the head of a master-level warrior and assisted in the siege of a fourth-level knight group, and his reputation rose rapidly, he was still very aware of his own situation and did not become arrogant because of it.
It is precisely because of this that he knows exactly how difficult and terrifying a true seventh-level warrior in full state would be.
“It’s difficult.”
