Chapter 152: Second Stage [Awakener]
An hour later, Ryan came out of his secret conversation with the high priest Mafa.
Wu Duo was waiting outside the bamboo building.
She watched Ryan come out, smiled and greeted him, and asked, "Doctor Ryan, what did you talk about with the teacher? Why did you talk for so long..."
It was just a casual question, not really wanting to know. She smiled with a dimple on her face, and without waiting for an answer, she continued, "The teacher is actually very strict. Even the elders usually come in and say a few words before leaving. I've never seen anyone talk to him for so long..."
Ryan looked at Wu Duo, his expression changed slightly, and he said casually: "We talked about the future development of the tribe."
"oh."
Wu Duo didn't care and didn't ask any further questions.
At this moment, by chance, in the distance, a group of young warriors were dragging the corpses of several dinosaurs back to the village in high spirits.
The soldiers laughed excitedly.
Because earth dragons have thick skin and run fast, and their roars can scare Warcraft mounts, they are extremely difficult to hunt. In the past, they were mainly driven away, and it was rare to actually kill a few.
This time, out of the more than thirty earth dragons, more than ten were left alive, which was an unprecedented big harvest.
The owners of the village gathered in front of the village gate happily, welcoming the hunting team with a good harvest as if they were celebrating a festival.
"Wow... We actually hunted more than a dozen earth dragons this time!"
"Haha, thanks to the cannon that Dr. Tust got us. It's so useful! Those thick-skinned little earth dragons were knocked out with just one shot..."
"Let's go and deliver a dragon leg to Mr. Tust and Brother Carl. If they hadn't helped us forge the equipment, I'm afraid several more warriors would have died this time..."
"Yes... send one to Dr. Ryan as well."
“…”
Although no soldiers died this time, which was rare, several were seriously injured during the roundup, and several Warcraft mounts were bitten to death.
Ryan was a little surprised because he found that those who participated in the dinosaur hunting were all young warriors of the second and third levels, and even the captain of the hunting team was only at the fourth level.
He curiously asked Wu Duo beside him, "Why don't the elders take action?"
If the elders take action, no matter how powerful the dinosaurs are, they will never return.
“This is the tradition of the tribe.”
Although Wu Duo was not very old, she spoke in the calm tone of the Coleman High Priest: "Young warriors need to fight to hone their hunting skills and learn to bravely face bloodshed and death. If the elders take action every time, the younger generation of warriors will not be able to grow. We Coleman warriors will never be afraid of fighting and death!"
"Um."
When Ryan heard this, he nodded in approval.
It is this cruel natural environment and daily battles that have truly created such a powerful fighting clan.
Ryan is well aware of Coleman's strong fighting ability.
Ryan's genetic potions and martial arts are all top-notch on the market.
His own fighting power was originally considered top among the first-level fighters, and with his "super strength", he was almost invincible. However, there were many in the tribe who could fight him on equal terms with these first-level Coleman warriors.
These guys are natural born warriors, their combat experience and skills are simply incomparable to those who grew up in the mechanical city. Even the hunters with rich combat experience are not at the same starting point as these primitive civilized warriors who have been hunting in the jungle since childhood.
Although the "tribal system" is primitive and backward, it also has its very prominent concerns compared with feudal private ownership.
The resources in the tribe are distributed uniformly, and "knowledge" is almost all shared.
As long as you have a good enough fit and enough materials, everyone will come into contact with the highest quality potions that can be advanced;
As long as you can learn it, the martial arts in the tribe are open to the public, and the elders are also happy to instruct the brave and eager to learn young warriors...
Can you imagine that the martial arts moves casually drawn on a slate with charcoal in the tribe are comparable to ?
The Coleman tribe's tribal distribution system meant that the warriors had no concept of keeping any skills privately.
Just like the "Bull Fist" that children in the tribe use to learn and lay the basic foundation, it is definitely a kind of advanced boxing in the outside world.
This is completely unimaginable in the feudal private ownership.
Those advanced martial arts, skills, crystal cores, potions... everything was the private property of the lords, and was completely controlled by the high-ranking nobles. The lower-class common people had no chance to get them.
They control "knowledge" and keep the people ignorant, which helps them to consolidate their ruling position.
Thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the two civilizations, Ryan's thoughts drifted away in worry.
At this moment, someone shouted at him from not far away, bringing his thoughts back.
"Hey... Doctor Ryan, we sent you some earth dragon meat..."
Looking closely, I saw that the warriors who had participated in the hunt had just cut a large piece of bloody dinosaur meat and were carrying it over enthusiastically.
Treating Coleman friends must be the best.
…
Ten days passed in a flash, and the peaceful days passed.
After Ryan took off his gas mask, his efficiency in breathing in and out of his fighting spirit became extremely high.
He also knew that he was about to make a breakthrough, so he spent a lot of time practicing meditation every day.
On this day,
Ryan suddenly opened his eyes in meditation, his face was full of energy. At this moment, a layer of light purple douqi gauze with a faint arc of electricity appeared on his body.
"The fighting spirit is overflowing!"
He was delighted.
During this period of time, he meditated by the tiankeng every day. The rich "demon energy of the abyss" brought him more than ten times the efficiency of his practice.
Finally, today the fighting spirit in the meridians has reached an overflowing state.
At this moment, Ryan did not hesitate, took out the jar of [Life Tamperer] potion that he had prepared long ago, and poured it into his mouth in one gulp.
For a moment, a slightly pungent smell gurgled into the throat.
"This potion tastes really pungent..."
While drinking, Ryan did not forget to complain.
Compared to regular genetic potions, the Coleman tribe's special potion was more like a pot of herbal soup, with a large amount and a strong taste. It made people's stomachs churn. If he didn't know that this thing was made by the elder himself, he really wouldn't dare to drink it carelessly.
But I have to say, although this magic potion doesn’t look good and doesn’t taste good, its medicinal effect is so strong that people can’t help but exclaim “refreshing”.
The magic potion flowed down the throat into the esophagus, and the violent medicinal power in the liquid was immediately absorbed into the body and meridians.
Ryan once again felt the surging energy in his body, like a volcano about to erupt. Once the power was released and that boundary was broken, he would be able to emerge from the cocoon and become a butterfly!
Because it is an exclusive potion of the same advanced sequence and its purity is not low, the degree of compatibility is very high.
Not long after taking the potion, Ryan immediately felt that this time he had advanced successfully!
He didn't dare to be careless. When he felt this way, he immediately activated his fighting spirit and began to guide the medicine into his body...
The meridians widen, the muscles become stronger, the bones become tougher , and the five senses become clearer and clearer...
His body was reaching another level with the extraordinary power in the potion.
…
Not far away, there is a thatched hut.
Wu Duo was building a campfire and leaning against a huge piece of monster meat. She knew that after Ryan advanced, he would need a lot of energy to replenish, so she prepared enough food for him.
"Wow, Brother Ryan is going to advance..."
"The fighting spirit of Ryan is the most powerful among those who have advanced to the second-level extraordinary level that I have ever seen..."
"That's amazing. Grandpa, do I also want to advance to the extraordinary level?"
"Um……"
Old Master Tuster and Carl were chatting casually. It was a rare day for the grandfather and grandson not to stay in the mechanical workshop, but to witness the moment of Ryan's advancement.
On the side, the legendary Basel was rarely seen strolling around.
He looked at the advanced Ryan with anticipation in his eyes.
Before, he hoped that the young doctor who could treat his injuries could advance as soon as possible so that he could help him remove the silver needles from his body.
But now, for some reason, he was secretly looking forward to something else.
He wanted to see how far Ryan could go and how strong he could become.
Looking at the thick purple Dou Qi gauze on Ryan's body, the legend suddenly felt a little sour, and muttered in his heart: "It would be strange if this kid's cultivation speed is not fast if he can directly absorb the 'True Devil Qi' in the tiankeng..."
Thinking of this, he sniffed and inhaled a wisp of black air, still feeling very uncomfortable.
Although we don’t need to wear gas masks now, we still need to take some black medicine every once in a while to help the body metabolize those negative substances.
Now they all know that it is not a "toxin" but a good thing that is truly beneficial to the body.
Basel also had to sigh that only Ryan's special extraordinary sequence that could allow him to "heal" himself at any time could enjoy the Coleman people's barbaric breathing method.
He suddenly felt that the banana in his hand was not so fragrant anymore.
"I don't know how that guy cultivated. Others may take months to gather a single 'Strong Line', but this guy can get it just like drinking water, just rubbing it casually..."
Although he complained, Basel was also looking forward to it.
After Ren reached the second stage, the injury that had troubled him for so long could finally be healed. As long as the silver needles were drawn out, he would be able to recover to his peak combat power immediately. At that time, he could really go anywhere in the world.
And just when Ryan was advancing,
On the distant hillside, on the bamboo building decorated with bird feathers, a pair of wise and old eyes were also looking into the distance.
…
The Temple Tribe deep in the "Forest of Ashes" is like a paradise.
Here lives a group of simple and kind people who originally lived in peace with the world.
But the roaring sound of the steam boiler broke the tranquility of this primeval forest that had been isolated from the world for countless years.
The tall mechanical city has advanced to the outskirts of the forest, like a group of steel monsters emitting a breath of destruction, rampaging through the jungle.
What a rich place this is!
Such huge trees cannot be found in the wasteland. Just chop down a few of them and sell them to the nobles for a good price. The jungle is full of rare animals and plants, and magic potion materials are everywhere. Large mining machines can't wait to start working. With just a shovel, you can dig out crazy high-purity coal in the shallow layer...
For the five major families in Glory City and those nobles who own large-scale mining equipment, this means black gold everywhere!
Every day, intelligence was reported that tribes large and small were being attacked by scavengers.
More and more tribes were slaughtered and homeless old, weak, sick and disabled people came to the Central Court Tribe, gathering in larger and larger numbers.
The feelings of despair and hatred grew stronger.
After Ryan advanced, he became busier and busier, because more and more wounded soldiers returned from the front line, and too many people needed treatment...
…
On this day, an urgent war report suddenly arrived.
The chief witch called a meeting of the elders and said that a powerful wave of enemies had come into the forest and that it would take at least an "elder-level" master to stop them.
Ryan also attended the meeting as a "staff officer".
But when he heard it, he was shocked.
"What? You said that the enemy is a very powerful female swordsman, wielding a fishbone light sword, and using a high-level ice law?"
When Ryan heard the soldiers brought back from the front line describe the enemy's situation, his expression suddenly became strange.
No matter how he listened, he felt that the "enemy" who broke into the forest was the Princess!
Then he thought of a errand he almost forgot.
That guy named Metternich seemed to have asked me to deliver a letter?
Is divination so mysterious?
Did you really encounter it?
